Chapter 144: It's All Bitter Fruit
That night, Song Gefei returned to the Song Mansion and beckoned the family to dinner. Song Li did not appear during the banquet, and Song Yu only said that Song Li was a little uncomfortable, so he did not attend. Song Gefei didn't doubt that he had him, and he didn't ask too much.
Ah Jin and Zhuang Xiaomeng glanced at each other, and staggered their gaze quite tacitly. It seems that the old man is still in the dark, and he doesn't know about the farce that happened in the garden this afternoon.
After eating, everyone dispersed early. Song Gefei and Song Yu also returned to the main room and sat down, and as soon as the maid served tea, Song Gefei took the first step and asked, "How is Li'er?" ”
When Song Yu heard this, he shook his hand holding the tea bowl lightly, and almost splashed some tea to burn himself. Because he couldn't understand Song Gefei's attitude, he just asked back tentatively, "Why did the master suddenly remember to ask this?" ”
Song Gefei sighed heavily and said, "I heard that in recent days, the eldest Langjun of the Luo family will always come to our house with Wen Yu. I'm worried that if Song Li's girl sees it, something might happen...... Tomorrow, Tingchun will come over to pick up people early in the morning, but he can't make any more extraneous branches. ”
Song Yushi listened to his words and breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to let go of his hanging heart, "What the master is worried about is exactly what I am worried about." Fortunately, Li'er has not had any more incidents in the past few days in the house, and when Tingchun picks them up tomorrow and watches them go out of the city safely, I can be a little more steady. ”
Song Gefei nodded approvingly. This little daughter really broke the hearts of the two of them. Thinking of all the ridiculous things Song Li had done before, Song Gefei's temples suddenly ached, "It's still early, you better go to Li'er's room to take a look at her first, the mother and daughter say something considerate, which will help untie her heart knot." ”
Song Yushi showed an expression that was more ugly than crying, and he really couldn't say it, "Okay master, I'll go now." ”
Song Gefei nodded, and then said nothing else. Song Yu took Mama Li to Tingzhuxuan all the way, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Song Li sitting on the eight-step bed with a gloomy face, and when he saw someone coming in, he just glanced up. When I saw my mother come in, I didn't see anything unusual about her expression.
Song Li's cold reaction had long been expected by Song Yu's family, because she had made psychological achievements early on, and when her daughter really treated herself with a cold attitude, she was not so uncomfortable.
"You've worked hard, go and keep watch outside the door." Song Yu sent out the little bird who had been guarding the side, leaving Mama Li alone to serve in the room. Other idlers and others also retreated cleanly.
Song Yu sat down in front of Song Li, and seeing that she didn't care about herself, she had to suppress her temper and ask, "What?" Now that I plan to do it, my mother doesn't recognize it? ”
Song Li's eyelids rolled, and what she said was very perfunctory, "Mother said with a smile." You've always been the only one who doesn't recognize me as a daughter. Speaking of which, is the mother planning to tie up her daughter until tomorrow morning? ”
As he spoke, Song Li moved his body, signaling that he was being tied up by Wuhua and couldn't move.
"If you are not unreasonable, why should I tie you up", Song Yushi glanced at the rope tied to her with a complicated expression, but he was not in a hurry to ask someone to loosen the tie, "Let me ask you, have you figured it out now?" ”
"What does a mother want her daughter to think clearly? To put it bluntly. After a day of tossing, Song Li was already physically and mentally exhausted. Before Song Yushi entered the door, she sat alone in the room and only felt tired and hungry, almost going to sleep. But when she saw Song Yushi push the door in, she straightened up again-in the matter of admiring Luo Teng, she was used to not giving an inch, as if as long as she took a step back, it would be an abyss.
"You don't have to beat around the bush with me. What I want you to think clearly, apart from those unrealistic thoughts you have about Luo Dalangjun, what else can there be? Seeing that she was so stubborn, Song Yu was anxious, and he had no strength to be angry. The big commotion during the day made both their mother and daughter exhausted.
Song Yushi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled it, then opened his eyes again and continued: "I have already said the truth that should be said, and I don't want to say it again." I'll let you go loose later, and you'll have something to eat, shower, and change your clothes tonight, and get a good night's sleep. Waiting for tomorrow...... Early tomorrow morning, the Luo family's carriage will come to pick you up at the house, and you can't afford to get in bed. ”
When Song Yu said this last sentence, he obviously paused. As he continued, even his voice choked up. When Song Li heard this, her body trembled, and she showed a slightly stunned and dazed expression on her face, as if she didn't realize until now that she was going to marry Huaizhou after tonight.
It is unknown when he will come back, or if he will be able to come back.
Thinking of this, Song Li finally looked at Song Yu's family. The mother and daughter looked at each other, and their expressions were very complicated. Song Yu saw that Song Li was finally looking at her, smiled, and just right to hide a layer of mist in his eyes, "Finally willing to take a look at my mother?" ”
Song Li opened her mouth and wanted to answer, but she didn't know what to say for a while. She struggled for a long time, and finally lowered her eyes. Song Yushi looked at her sitting there very decadently, motionless, and even the momentum she saw when she just entered the door was gone, and she felt distressed for a while.
She reached out and touched Song Li's face, and asked softly, "Did it hurt you?" Mother, there is no way, if your words are heard by others and spread out of the house, how will you live in the future? Before you get married, the Song family can still protect your shortcomings; But you're already married, so whether you want to protect your shortcomings or not depends on what your husband's family means, understand? ”
As soon as Song Yu's words fell, she felt a wetness on her palm, she knew that Song Li was crying, but she didn't know why she was crying. Tears with body temperature were still flowing uncontrollably on her palms, Song Yu wiped her tears for her and slowly stood up, "It's not too early, mother will go back to the room first." Tomorrow before you leave, Mother will come back to see you. ”
After that, she looked deeply at Song Li, who was crying bitterly, and then turned around and walked out of the room. Xiaoque was guarding the door, and when she saw Mama Li helping the eldest lady out, she hurriedly saluted.
Song Yu looked at the little girl's double pill bun condescendingly, and said expressionlessly, "You come with me." ”
When Xiao Que heard this, he hurriedly stood up again, and followed Song Yu to a corner of the corridor with trepidation. She was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Mama Li.
"I came to you to talk, do you understand what I mean?"
Xiao Que nodded hesitantly, then shook his head again, "Slave maid...... Don't dare to speculate. ”
Seeing that Xiao Que was so cautious, Song Yu's tight facial lines softened a little, "You are very smart." Since you are wise, you should do smart things. Mrs. Ben knows that the girl's incident today really scares you, and Mrs. Ben is here to apologize to you for the girl. ”
"Big lady, don't dare," Xiaoque was startled when she heard Song Yu's words, and hurriedly waved her hand and said: "At that time, the girl was also very angry to be like that, Xiaoque understood." ”
"Okay, good, you are really a reasonable and good girl," Song Yu nodded again and again, and his voice was unconsciously gentle, "Let me ask you, if you continue to follow the girl to Huaizhou to serve, are you willing?" ”
Xiao Que was taken aback when he heard this, raised his head, and looked at Song Yu with some confusion, "Madam, what do you mean ......?"
Song Yu looked at Xiao Que calmly, "That's what it means." Originally, it was a natural thing for you to follow and serve, even if I didn't come to ask you this, you had to follow. It's just that I feel uneasy that since something like that has happened, I don't feel uneasy if I don't ask you what you mean first. ”
"Big lady, since the girl came back from the Great Mercy Temple to live, she has been serving the slave and maid, and the slave and maid have been used to it for so many days. It's just ......" Xiaoque listened to Song Yu's words and wanted to resign with a little hesitation, but was interrupted by Song Yu's before the words could be spoken.
"I know you're scared, but as you said earlier, the girl will lose her mind when she's angry. In all fairness, she's pretty good to you guys on a regular basis, right? ”
Song Yu's question made Xiaoque not know how to answer. She originally had some hope for escaping, but Song Yu's attitude made her immediately understand that the other party had no intention of letting herself leave Song Li at all.
The little finch reddened with some despair, and nodded lightly in resignation.
"Well, for the sake of your loyalty, I will speak to the bookkeeper and change the length of your contract. In this way, you only need to serve the girl for another three or four years, and you will be free. Song Yu looked at her with a smile, and didn't take Xiaoque's struggles to heart.
"Yes. Slaves...... Mrs. Xie's great grace. Xiao Que replied numbly and knelt down to Song Yu.
"Well, you can go to the girl's room and wait for you. I'm tired too, and I'm going back. With that, Song Yushi waved his hand and sent the little finch out.
Mama Li watched Xiaoque's thin back disappear outside the door, and then she helped Song Yu up and asked softly, "Why does the eldest lady suddenly want to mention a few words about this little slave?" ”
"If you don't mention it, you don't know Song Li's temperament. Reckless, no one in sight. However, the people who serve her are all ghosts and wit, I won't mention a few words, she will marry so far in the future, if she is in someone else's way, how can it be good...... Moreover, her temper, how many people can endure her. With a smart and sensible person by my side, I am always at ease. ”
Song Yu thought long-term. She knows very well that Song Li and Luo Ting are destined to be inseparable in the future, if the two couples are really irreparable, maybe this good-looking and gentle little bird can also help save some husband and wife love.
Mama Li naturally thought of it with Song Yu, but she seemed to be a little more pessimistic, "The big girl's temperament, even if she doesn't care about something, she is not allowed to be coveted by others." Madame is so well-intentioned, I am afraid that she will not appreciate it. ”
"That'...... It's her life, and I can't do anything more. Song Yu sighed, looking at the lanterns hanging in the corridor fluttering in the wind, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
……
Early in the morning of the second day, the carriage of Luofu arrived at the gate of the Song Mansion.
Song Li was led by the eldest lady to the gate, compared to Song Yu's tearful eyes, Song Li's expression was numb. After all, it was the sister-in-law who went far away, and Ah Jin had to get up early in the morning with everyone to see him off.
She hid behind the crowd, she just didn't want to stand out too much, but in the end she was seen by Song Li.
"Sister-in-law, Song Li is leaving, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Seeing that everyone and Song Li had already said goodbye one by one, only Ah Jin was left standing in place and standing still, which was really conspicuous. Ah Jin sighed helplessly, and then walked over under the gaze of everyone with different expressions, looked at Song Li with a smile and said: "Sister-in-law has a safe journey, this is going to Huaizhou, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and you must listen to your uncle's arrangement on the way." ”
"Song Li knows," Song Li looked at Ah Jin, and replied so calmly. Ah Jin nodded, and was about to return to his original position to stand, but was stopped by Song Li's hand, and when Ah Jin turned around, Song Li had already come to her side and asked in a low voice, "Yesterday, you sent someone to call my mother over." ”
Ah Jin was stunned for a moment, and then generously admitted: "It was indeed I who asked people to inform me, mainly because I was worried about what happened to you, sister-in-law." ”
Song Liwei smiled, "What can happen?" ”
Ah Jin didn't want to have a dispute with her in front of everyone, not to mention that Luo Tingchun was still waiting outside the door. She simply took the initiative to grab Song Li's wrist and said softly: "It's good that my sister-in-law is fine, and it is true that she will live in peace with her husband's family in the future." ”
Strange to say, as soon as her words fell, Song Li put away those uncertain expressions. I saw that she nodded obediently, and went straight to the carriage.
It is surprising that the two can get along so well. Song Yu looked at this scene with a slight frown, seeing that Song Li had already gotten into the carriage of the Luo family, and instructed Mama Li with some anxiety: "How about you go over and see the girl?" A few more words of relief. ”
"Yes," Mama Li received the order, and hurried to the side of the carriage, and in less than a quarter of an hour, she returned to Song Yu's side, "Madam, the girl sat there quietly, and did not mean to take care of the old slave. ”
"In that case, let her be." Song Yu listened to Mama Li's reply, and was not surprised that Song Li had this reaction. The slightest doubt that passed through Fang Cai's heart disappeared.
After returning to the east wing, Ah Zhen was busy pouring soup for Ah Jin, and at the same time looked at Ah Jin curiously and asked, "Girl, have you used the nine-string technique on the girl of the Song family?" ”
"No, it's just a little trick to let her get into the car obediently," Ah Jin took a sip of tea, only to feel that her body was finally warm, "On such a cold day, there are still a bunch of people to say goodbye to her, and she doesn't know how to cherish it, she is really born in a blessing and does not know blessing." ”
"Then, when will the confinement you gave her be released?" Ah Zhen handed Tang Pozi to Ah Jin, looked at her in her arms with great admiration, and couldn't wait to continue to ask.
"Half an hour," Ah Jin thought for a moment, "and in half an hour, the carriage would have already driven dozens of miles." If she can't go to the village or the store, she won't dare to spill in front of Luo Tingchun. It is...... Bitter little girl. ”
"Why?" Ah Jin didn't know why Ah Jin suddenly mentioned the little finch, and looked at Ah Jin with some puzzlement.
Ah Jin stretched out his hand, gently pinched the flesh on Ah Zhen's face and said, "Not everyone is as lucky as you and a girl who gets along with me so well." She won't spill in front of Luo Tingchun, it doesn't mean that she won't abuse others. ”
Ah Jin's words made Ah Zhen suddenly realize. Naturally optimistic, she couldn't help frowning.
……
After chatting with Luo Teng, Ah Jin had already informed Liuli as soon as possible. So when Lotten came to the inn again and asked to meet her, she was not surprised.
Hatsumi enters the room and asks Ruri what she means, and Ruri gently presses her hands on the strings. After a long time, she sighed and began to pluck the strings again, "Since he is already here, let him in." ”
Chu Jian was a little hesitant, frowned and stood in place without moving, "Senior sister, do you want to think about it again." ”
Liuli raised her head to look at Hatsumi, and said with a smile: "This is probably what our eldest girl meant." What should come, will always come. Just hiding like this is not the way. Go ahead. ”
“…… Be. At this point, I knew that it was useless to persuade at first sight. He hurriedly went downstairs, and saw Luo Teng standing motionless at the top of the stairs waiting, and greeted him with a complicated expression, "You come with me." ”
He didn't say anything superfluous, but these few words alone were enough to make Luo Teng's mind churn. He bowed slightly, and followed Hatsumi upstairs. I saw that the first sight led him all the way to the innermost room of the corridor on the second floor, and after knocking on the door, he stood sideways to the side, "Commander Luo will enter this room later, and wait downstairs below, no one will come." ”
"There is labor." Luo Teng answered softly, and there was a tiredness that could not be concealed between his tones. At first sight, he looked at him strangely, but he didn't say anything.
It wasn't until the first time I saw that I was far away, and then I came to the closed door, and hesitated again and again before reaching out and gently pushing open a gap. The melodious sound of the piano, when the time flowed out of the room, like a bend of clear spring, came to Luo Teng's heart.
Liuli sat behind the beaded curtain, and she could hear the movement by the door clearly. The person who had been thinking about it day and night was close at this moment, but it didn't stop her piano sound. Luo Teng walked lightly to the room and sat down, the beaded curtain swayed, and the shadow of the beautiful woman loomed. Even so, he was still very sure that the person who was in the same room with him now and was plucking the strings was the purple clothes he had been looking for for for more than half a year.
Luo Teng sat on his lap, looking at her expressionlessly, but his hands on his knees were slightly fisted. After playing the song, Liuli did not come out from behind the bead curtain, and the two were silent, and finally Liuli broke the deadlock, "I heard that you are looking for me everywhere." ”
Lorten opened his mouth to deny. But when the words came to his lips, he felt that he was too insincere, he nodded expressionlessly, and looked at her behind the beaded curtain, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”
"Nope." Liuli replied resolutely, and this cold and resolute tone made Luo Teng's heart ache.
The pain turned into anger in an instant, and he sneered, only to feel that the anger was rapidly eating away at his reason. Luo Teng stood up, pacing back and forth in this small room aimlessly, and when he stood again, his eyes were a little more gloomy, "You don't have anything to say to me, this official has something to ask you." ”
Hearing this, Liuli smiled bitterly, her tone still cold, "I don't know what Commander Luo wants to ask." ”
"You and the Song Shen clan are both from Tongtian Pavilion?"
"I am, she's not," Liuli didn't think much about it, and directly picked Ah Jin clean, "Last time Commander Luo had a long talk with Mrs. Song, I should have heard Mrs. Song explain the ins and outs." ”
Liuli's answer was exactly the same as Ah Jin's, but Luo Teng didn't believe it, but he was suffering from no evidence, "Since you are a person from Tongtian Pavilion, why are you in the royal capital." ”
"Errands." Ruri replied succinctly, and as she spoke, her hands gently rested on the strings. Seeing this, Luo Teng subconsciously took a small step back. Seeing his vigilant appearance, Liuli couldn't help but laugh softly, "Commander Luo, please rest assured, since you came here to see me according to Madam Song's instructions." Naturally, I won't let you slip through the cracks. ”
Lotten narrowed his eyes, knowing that he was threatened. Holding a breath in his heart, he couldn't go up or down, "I saw you in the royal capital before, and that time you said that I recognized the wrong person." In fact, you have long been dormant in the royal capital. ”
"Commander Luo, it's not dormant. I have the paperwork from the government. With that, Ruri began to play the tune again.
Luo Teng was shocked, his whole body tensed, and he entered a state of alert, "Paperwork? I don't know in what capacity the girl obtained the paperwork? We also know each other, I don't even know your real name. ”
As soon as Luo Teng's words fell, Liuli's hand plucked the strings paused. After a while, he continued to play the tune. Luo Teng waited for a while, and when he saw that she didn't answer, he knew that he wouldn't get any answer today. With a gloomy face, he arched his hand towards Liuli, who was sitting in the beaded curtain, "Since the girl is unwilling to tell the truth, there is no need to stay here." It's just the same, recently there have been rumors in the royal capital, saying that the Nine Emperor Princes did not die young, but were taken by your Tongtian Pavilion, but I don't know if this rumor is true or not. Since the girl is in this royal capital, she still has to abide by the law, otherwise, Luo will definitely arrest the girl. Even if you can't find you, you can still find this Yunlai Inn and Mrs. Song. ”
Then he turned and left. At this moment, Liuli's voice sounded behind him again, accompanied by the sound of the piano, and it was surprisingly good, "The slave family's small character Liuli, I hope Gongzi remembers." ”
I don't know if Luo Teng heard it or not, he didn't stop leaving. As soon as the others left, they pushed open the door and came in. He opened the bead curtain and saw Liuli sitting in front of the piano table in a daze, very distressed, "Why should the senior sister be like this." The song you played just now was clearly for his pranayama, and a piece of music will cost you a lot of internal energy. I saw that he was angry when he left, it must have been that you didn't say anything and made him misunderstood. ”
"It's good that he misunderstood. The two of us are already on opposite sides, and if we let him know this, it will only make him more troubled," Ruri touched the strings and smiled relievedly, "I can see him again before the tension is made." You went back to Ah Jin and said thank you for me. ”
Hatsumi frowned, and finally responded softly.
