Chapter 28, people must not forget their roots
"Ann, Ann." Mrs. Li pushed open the door and led them into the house, "Come, sit, today, my grandmother specially asked Mama Qiu to make your favorite crab roe shortbread, try it, but I think it's delicious, yesterday, I was frightened, I looked haggard, I really pity my good grandson." β
Li Shunding glanced at the crab roe shortbread on the bowl, glanced at the food on the table again, took a small bowl for himself, scooped a large spoonful of vegetable porridge into it, and handed it to Gu Wei, "An'er should be a vegetarian, try this vegetarian porridge, it can be appetizing." β
She obediently twisted the spoon and looked at him, "Hmm." She scooped up a mouthful and sent it to her mouth, the heat instantly scalded her mouth, she hindered Mrs. Li's bad breath, she only hurriedly covered her mouth and lowered her head, stretched out her tongue and whispered to relieve the heat.
"Drink slowly."
Seeing the cold water handed over by Li Shun, Gu Wei subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Li, and saw that she was still kind before taking it, taking a sip, feeling that her tongue was not so numb, and said shyly, "Thank you, Brother Huaishu." My brother also eats, so don't just worry about An'er. These are all prepared by the old lady for her brother, and they are all for me to eat, won't I live up to the old lady's heart? She picked up a piece of vegetarian cake and put it in the bowl in front of Li Yuan, "Brother eats it too." β
Li Shun glanced at Gu Weeping, and then at the old lady Li, who had been looking at Gu Weeping since she was just a child, and replied respectfully, "A few days ago, the master came to fix the pulse for Shun'er, saying that Shun'er is cold by nature, and needs to pay more attention to his daily diet. β
Gu Wei obviously noticed that Mrs. Li's persistent hand trembled subtly, she didn't know what was going on, but as far as Fang Cai was concerned, it was Li Shun who went too far, but after all, this is someone's family background, I didn't see it, and my grandmother didn't make much noise, in such a situation, how could she rashly say it!
At the moment, he had to pretend to be stupid, bury his head in porridge, and try to weaken his sense of existence, but Li avoided it, he blindly sandwiched it for her, and his attitude can be described as courteous.
She looked at him with chopsticks in a daze, is this a person in the world, how is it so different from what the senior sister said, and it is different from what she saw in the nunnery. What exactly is he going to do?
Before Gu Wei could ask this question, he swallowed it back into his stomach, and he never thought about it again.
At the end of the breakfast, Mrs. Li finally opened her mouth again, still kind and kind, and the words she said, along with the sound, were so kind that people couldn't help but like her.
She looked at Gu Weeping, who had taken a mouthful, Han Han laughed, beckoned to the maid beside her, took a handkerchief, stretched it out in front of her, and again and again, the debris and residue were rolled into the towel, and her face was wiped clean, "Listen to Shun'er, your name is An'er?" β
Gu Wei opened his eyes, raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth, and nodded at her blankly, "Back to the old lady, yes." β
"Don't be so restrained, since you are called Brother Shun'er, it is okay to call the old body and grandmother."
She blinked, looked at her and then at him, and after Li Shun nodded, she said shyly, "Grandmother." β
"Alas, my good grandsonβ" Mrs. Li hugged her with tears in her eyes, and said one by one "good grandsons" without money, as if she was facing Li Shun. She was stunned at the moment, and the hand that was pinned by the clamp touched her shirt slightly, the brocade and supple jokes, the ups and downs of Xiuhe, and the real touch instantly stirred her eyes moist.
She opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say, the person in front of her was hugging her, calling her good grandson, this person in front of her, she said that she could call her grandmother, such a affectionate name, she could actually call it, at that moment, Gu Wei felt that her head was out of the sky.
Could it be that this is the great goodness that the master said?
She couldn't help laughing, but she was afraid that the loud conference would scare Mrs. Li, so she only suppressed it, and only told herself to know in a low voice.
"Grandmother, is this going to cover An'er to death?" Li Shun stood beside him, making an inopportune sound.
Old Madam Li glanced at him with disgust, let go of her embrace, although she was well-maintained, she could see that her hand touched Gu Wai's cheeks, touched her sallow and slender face, and said distressedly, "It's really pitiful, how can you be a vegetarian every day and become a monk?" Good boy, in the future, will you stay in the Li Mansion and be the granddaughter of the old body? Just like your brother Li Shun, stay here with the old body, okay? β
"No, you can't." Gu wept back, although she coveted the warmth in her arms, but she knew that her own warmth was not here, she was in Duyun Mountain, in Duyun Nunnery, it was the master's stern and almost harsh warmth.
People can't forget their roots, let alone see different thoughts, this is a truth that Gu Wei understood a long time ago, but in practice, today, it is the first time.
The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and Gu Wei felt that Li Shun should not have rejected Mrs. Li, but in the blink of an eye, he refused once, and he really responded to that sentence, don't laugh at others' mistakes, you don't know that you won't make the same mistake one day and at a certain time.
She didn't know what Mrs. Li's heart was, whether she was as kind and generous as she looked on her face, or the opposite, so she had to be silent and look at Li Shun, just begging him to receive her signal for help, and say something in time to alleviate the stiff situation.
She looked at it hot, and it was impossible for Li Shunzong to pretend to be invisible and tease her, he left the table, walked to Gu Wei's side, grabbed her with one hand, and pulled back slightly, "An'er is a person from Duyun Nunnery, if grandmother wants to stay, she should also ask Mrs. Jinyuan what she means." β
Facing his serious eyes, Mrs. Li had no choice but to give up, and sat back at the table with the handmaid's hand, "Yes, yes, it's my grandmother's inconsiderate consideration." She took the tea handed by the maidservant, supported the bottom with her left hand, and twisted the floating fine tea with her right hand, took a shallow sip, and swayed and rinsed in her mouth, and then covered her mouth and spit into the spittoon held by the other maid.
"It's also your An'er's sister who looks cute, and you like it so much, my grandmother asked without thinking about it, that's right, An'er is a Niqiu in Duyun Nunnery after all, and I can't be in a hurry to adopt her, I can't be in a hurry, okay, don't put this aside to chat with my old wife, go and take your An'er sister to visit the yard, her legs and feet are not good, but she is not tired of her!"
"Yes, my grandson is leaving." Led by Li Shun, Gu Wei also bowed down to Mrs. Li in the same way, and said, "An'er retires." β
In the garden, the rockeries were stacked, and Gu Wei sat down a little gently and cleanly with Li Shun on his back, "The old lady treats my brother so well, but why doesn't my brother look so happy?" β
He sat next to her, climbed and folded the plum blossoms with his hands, pinned them at the base of her ears, and his good-looking eyebrows and eyes were cold, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I feel very awkward." β
"Why?" Gu Wei stroked the flower with his hand and asked, "Isn't it a good thing for someone to pet it?" β
He shook his head, "You're still young, and there are a lot of things you don't understand. β
"Then when will An'er understand?" She asked again.
He replied, "When you grow up." β
"Will you understand when you grow up? How old is my brother now, is it possible for An'er to understand when she grows up to her brother's age? β
He smiled again and shook his head, obviously not wanting to continue this question, and the reason why he didn't want to continue was that he was afraid that Gu Xi's questions would continue on and on.
The direct result of this is that I only struggle with when to grow up, what it means to grow up, and how to grow up all day long, and I waste a lot of time in vain, so I have to diverge from the road, "Does An'er want a surname?" β
Gu Wei obviously had a little opinion on his answer, but the master said that if someone asks a question that she doesn't want to answer, then she will definitely try her best not to answer, and after playing with her hands for a while, she replied to him, "Forget it!" β
"What's wrong? Isn't it good to have my surname Li? β
She looked at him and replied very seriously, "Okay, but An'er once heard the female benefactor of the nunnery say that a person's surname represents its origin, and An'er is not a child of the Li family!" β
Li Shun's hands suddenly covered Gu Wei's uneasy little hands, "An'er is right, a surname is its root, An'er don't worry, my brother will help me find my surname." β
"Really?"
"yes, really."
"An'er knows that Brother Huaishu is the best brother in the world."
In the Baiyuan, there were bursts of coughing, one after another, big and small, "squeak-" The door was gently opened, and an elderly man walked towards Mrs. Li with a cane, "Are you going to raise that girl?" β
Old Madam Li put her arm around him, and said in disgust, "Didn't you lie down?" The body is so bad and you still come out, because you want to leave my mother-in-law early? β
At this time, there was a beam of light shining directly into the room, impartially falling on the old lady Li who had just sat down, he looked at her eyes and narrowed into a slit with a smile, and the hand that had been through the vicissitudes of life suddenly covered her hand, and coaxed in a flattering manner, "How can it!" Can't, can't. β
"Hmph." Old Madame Li wiggled her hand out with a tantrum, and instructed the maidservant to bring the warm porridge she had made for him from the boiler.
"Do you really want to get that doll back? Do you know her identity? Master Jinyuan is too much, it's not easy to deal with. β
"Bad to handle?" Mrs. Li questioned Mrs. Li, "How much sesame oil money does our Li Mansion give her every year for Duyun'an, and now, my wife wants a female doll, can they give it?" β
"Ugh." Old lady Li sighed helplessly, "You don't know, today's king is devoted to Buddhism, and this Duyun Nunnery is said to have a holy maiden to the world, although I don't know which monk it is, but to the king, it's not good after all, isn't it a doll?" If it's true, she has to be. β
Mrs. Li's attitude was extremely firm, "Aren't you really sleepy, didn't you listen to what Qianya said today, Shun'er He guarded the doll in front of the bed last night, and Shun'er was abandoned here by his ruthless father, I have never seen the old woman, who he treats like this, plus Fang Cai's appearance, my wife is iron-hearted, this doll, my Li Mansion is fixed." β
"You," Mrs. Li was helpless for a while, how could her mother-in-law's temper not change at all after decades! is still so arrogant and unreasonable, how can she ask for the people in the palace of the king of the people's palace?
"Ahem, ahemβ" Coughing continued, he leaned on his long crutches and asked again, "Is this really necessary?" β
Old Madam Li nodded repeatedly, "As long as it can make me happy to avoid children, it has to be." β
The maid who served the porridge went and returned, and the old lady Li scooped it and tasted it, and said, "Then the identity of the doll will have to be changed." β
Hearing this, Old Madam Li nodded thoughtfully.
