Mrs. Jun took my hand tightly as soon as she got out of the sedan chair, and after seeing the old man and the old lady, she went directly to my courtyard with me, and I received them in my room. Looking at the layout of my room, she smiled at me, "Look here to know the suffering of the young lady." ”

I looked around, I lived in the place for almost four years, I think it's quite comfortable, right? The eldest daughter-in-law in charge of the family can't be bitter no matter what, why would Mrs. Jun say this.

"There are few furnishings in the young lady's room, which shows that the young lady has never been home." She looked into my eyes and said softly. I looked around again, yes, at the beginning of my room, the antiques given by my in-laws, the toys of my mother's family to marry unconsciously let me give away, put away and put away, it became a simple and simple room, but I didn't expect it to become my lack of belonging to this home in her eyes. But think about it, too, it's because there is no sense of belonging that makes it like this.

"Those things are a lot of stuff, and there are children." I looked at Mei Niang who was playing crazy with Aoxue in the small courtyard.

"I'm sorry for you, something like this happened at home, alas! I went to the trial with my lord that day, and I still thought it was incredible, I hadn't seen Qiang'er, but looking at Mei Niang, I could think of how cute that child was. It's a boy again, alas. ”

I handed her the strong child I had drawn, and I was even better at sketching, but I thought that it would not be good to draw a strong child with charcoal in Datang. I can only use the paint brush that I can use at this time, but it feels like a Western way of painting. But it can't be helped, I haven't learned Chinese style, and Chinese style doesn't seem to be able to draw Qiang'er's happy smile and bright eyes.

Mrs. Jun looked at it for a while, and when she looked up again, her eyes were red, "Now you can imagine the young lady's distress." ”

I was speechless, anyone who saw that chubby appearance would feel distressed, but this was in my arms for a few months, I personally raised him, and every night I would get up and feed him rice cereal, and after feeding, he lay on my shoulder and babbled...... I never felt that raising children was very hard, I used to think about it terrible, and I also felt that being a young grandmother of a rich family in ancient times was actually better than in modern times. But after I took over Qiang'er, I realized that this is happiness, and this is a kind of work that no one else can interfere with.

She gently squeezed my hand for a while, "Does the eldest young master know?" Have you ever wondered how to resolve the matter between you? She changed the subject.

"I have let the second brother go, only brought a letter of resignation, but I have no words when I put pen to paper, and I have made up my mind to go to the next court. Qiang'er's death made the concubine's heart die, and the only one who couldn't give up was Mei Niang, but she was braver than ordinary children, and she should be fine. ”

"Alas! I'm afraid that you will make such a decision, leaving the martial arts family at this time is different from the time when the eldest young master returned to the martial arts family. ”

"That's not what Madame said last time?"

"No, I just didn't face up to your problem last time, you asked me if I was trying to save your marriage, I mean if you want to leave. In fact, in the final analysis, I still hope that the young lady is still the daughter-in-law of the martial family. ”

"Why?"

"Wen Jun sent the inscription not to leave, but to retreat as advance. However, the young lady only sent a letter of resignation, and sent the second young master to go out in person to make a decision, it seems that she can only go to her mother's house to see the young lady in the future. ”

"Wen Jun and Xiangru are in love with each other and run at night, which is different from me and the eldest young master." I smiled bitterly and looked at Mrs. Jun, "Does Madam love the master?" ”

She looked at me and laughed, looking at Ao Xue outside the window: "Has the young lady seen our master?" ”

I shook my head, I went to Jun's house twice, but the master didn't seem to be there, she wouldn't immediately draw a picture of their master for me, right? I laughed and shook my head at the thought of this, and she didn't know why I was laughing, so she looked back at me and laughed with me.

"You should have heard the Wu family say that our master was rude and uninhibited, and the first time I saw him, I was really scared of nightmares at night. Who doesn't love the young Pan An's flower-like appearance? At that time, there was no marriage covenant between the two families, and I regarded him as a father and a friend. He was the same, caring for me, but not male or female. My father was slandered and saw that the building was about to collapse, and his relatives and friends avoided the plague, and my lord helped him without asking for anything in return. My father couldn't afford to be sick, and he knew that he couldn't be cured, so he begged the master to take care of him, and he promised my father to find a wishful husband for me. Father reassured me and said to me, and my lord made me feel at ease. What I say to my father, is it okay to return to the master? The father was shocked and then delighted, and the next day he invited the master to talk about marriage. The old man first refused to allow it, and then saw that his father was sick and weak, and had no choice but to agree. Later, I also asked myself, what kind of friendship is Master Yu. One day after Xue'er was born, I watched the old man get up early in the morning to hug Xue'er who was still in swaddling clothes, so carefully held it in the palm of his hand, and the sun shone on the two of them through the window, and suddenly realized that this is my home. ”

"Madame wants to say, the martial arts family has Mei Niang and the eldest young master, this is the place where Xiuyun is safe?"

"The eldest young master has not returned for three years, marrying a wife and giving birth to a daughter outside, and after returning home, he must dispose of the yuan match, not to mention that at that time, the father has already decided to leave the letter, and he can seal it. Why did you go to great lengths to invite the young lady back? These days, I have been thinking about this a lot, and the more I feel that it is not reasonable. Young lady" is so smart and icy, how can she not figure out the reason? The eldest young master has been at home for several months, facing the young lady day and night, has he ever talked about his wife and children outside? Have you ever wanted to leave the young lady and go? If he didn't even say it to his parents, he was even more suspicious, it was an ordinary thing for men and children to have three wives and four concubines, and after three years outside, the emperor couldn't give him a marriage, how could your in-laws embarrass him, why didn't you say it?

After Mrs. Jun's mother and daughter left, I thought quietly for a long time, I didn't care what the rotten man thought, but worried about history. Our existence is to restore the truth of history, and it has not allowed me to participate in history, and at this time, why do I feel more and more that I have been swept into history?

"Mother!" Mei Niang shook me, I looked at her and smiled.

"What's wrong?"

"You don't speak." She's been in my arms for a long time, probably stuffy.

"Do you want to play something?"

She thought about it and leaned on me: "Actually, it's very comfortable to lean on my mother like this, so comfortable that I want to sleep, so my mother will tell me a story!" ”

At night, it was time to sleep, she took a bath with me, sat on the sofa in front of the window and quietly listened to the rustle of the wind through the bamboo forest outside the window, and suddenly thought of a poem, 'You are the April day in the world', April, it is the spring is strong, the air is full of bamboo fragrance and flowers, it is really comfortable, she will also enjoy it, so quietly listen to my story while falling asleep, it will be more comfortable. Tell a story, what to say? The only thing I can think of is "Jingwei Reclamation", because the stories we have heard since childhood are all foreign fairy tales, if I tell her "Cinderella" and say that "The Little Prince" is stored in the history books, it will be hundreds of years earlier than the original author, then who will copy whom?

“…… Jingwei flew and chirped, left the sea, and flew back to the mountain to fetch stones and branches. She held, throws, grown, flies back and forth, never stops. Later, when a petrel flew over the East China Sea, he accidentally saw Jingwei, and he was puzzled by her behavior, but after understanding the cause of the incident, Haiyan was moved by Jingwei's fearless spirit, and married him, and gave birth to many small birds, the female like Jingwei and the male like Haiyan. Xiao Jingwei, like their mother, also went to the stone to reclaim the sea. To this day, they are still doing this work. ”

"Finished?"

"Well, how is Jingwei?"

"Good! I'll be like her. ”

"Yes, Jingwei's will is beyond the reach of mortals." I am very relieved that the little Mei Niang can understand and like this story.

"No, why did Donghai drown her, if I were Emperor Yan, I would directly let people pacify Donghai, why let Jingwei work alone?" She looked up at me indignantly.

I was stunned, I didn't seem to think so when I listened to this story when I was a child, I thought more as if I thought Jingwei was stupid, of course, I felt that she was stupid and didn't dare to really tell the storyteller, so when Mei Niang said she liked it, I was moved, thinking that Mei Niang could understand Jingwei's spirit better than me, it seems that I was wrong, I forgot who she was. After a while, I laughed and shook my head.

"Am I wrong?"

"No, my mother is just thinking about this story, in ancient times this story was a metaphor for hatred, revenge must be avenged, and later people felt Jingwei's strong and unyielding will, you are the most direct, you feel Jingwei's wrong." I took a deep breath, "Yes, she was wronged, innocently killed at a young age, maybe this wrongful led her to do this." ”

We all thought of Qiang'er and were silent. Suddenly hearing that the courtyard door was violently pushed open, Mei Niang and I were startled, sat up straight, pushed open the window, who was so bold, broke into my courtyard at night, and only Sister-in-law Liu had done this over the years. There was a man standing at the entrance of the courtyard that I would never expect.
