Chapter 3 Sacrifice to the deceased mother, guests from afar.
Li Yuqing returned to the wing room and prepared to take a nap.
She lay on her back, touching her round belly, her eyes wandering to the top of the bed.
There hung a sachet, lilac-colored, embroidered with a fluffy snow rabbit nibbling on green greens. The colors are bright, the patterns are cute, and the embroidery is extremely careful, and it is made with heart at a glance.
It was indeed done with heart, and it was done by the original owner's mother.
However, the mother of the original owner probably would not have imagined that not long after she left, her daughter would be seriously ill due to excessive longing and also leave, so that me, a lonely soul from another world, would have a place to stay.
But since I came, I will live Li Yuqing's life well and take care of the people you are still concerned about in this world.
Back then, after learning that her husband had died in the army, Mama Yang was feeding her two-month-old son.
The brother and sister-in-law are mean and sharp, knowing that the younger brother and brother-in-law are gone, and the Xiangyin who joined the army is gone, and the two people who are hungry for profit are ready to sell her to a rich family as a concubine.
Mama Yang was beautiful when she was young, but she was an orphan girl and had no mother's family. My husband died in battle, and my son is still young, so I can't rely on him, isn't it for others to take care of him?
After hearing about her brother and sister-in-law's plans, she fled to Yongle Mansion with her son in the middle of the night. As a result, the child was too young, the road was bumpy and hard, and he had a high fever, which could not be lowered, so he went.
Later, Mama Yang went to Li's Mansion and became Li Yuqing's nurse, and paid Li Yuqing for the pain of losing her child.
Zhou Hui is not in good health, and she has not spent much time with Li Yuqing over the years, and most of the time is accompanied by Mama Yang.
She helped Li Yu to know the warmth and coldness, and she was always by her side, as if she would never leave. When she was a child, she taught Li Yuqing to walk and speak, and when Li Yuqing was older, she accompanied her to read and write.
Over the years, she seems to have been the shadow of Li Yuqing, following her like a shadow and never giving up. Play with her and watch her laugh; Li Yuqing is happy, she is happy, Li Yuqing is sad, she is even more sad.
She empathizes with Li Yuqing, as if they are connected by blood, she seems to be the mother of this child, this child is her own daughter, her love is deep and inclusive.
For Li Yuqing, Mama Yang is not a mother, but she is better than a mother, and Mama Yang has done everything she has not fulfilled if her mother has not fulfilled her responsibilities.
Mama Yang grew up with her like a mother, and since she came to this world, she has assumed the role of an adoptive mother.
She often felt that she was very happy, she had two mothers, and it was not so regrettable that her father was gone, and the double maternal love she received was far better than all the treasures in the world.
For the original body, Mama Yang is her second mother. When the original body was seriously ill and dying, what Li Yuqing felt from her memory was that she had a strong attachment to Mama Yang, reluctance and regret.
I regret not cherishing this love, and after my mother passed away, I closed my heart, immersed in the pain of losing my mother, and I didn't see the sadness of the people around me, and I was distressed...
She's so sorry for her.
Li Yuqing (original), I will cherish this love for you, no longer let her down, respect her, love her, and accompany her to old age...
Zimo has been serving Li Yuqing's mother Zhou Hui since she was a child, and Zhou Hui has gone through several twists and turns over the years, and she has never thought of leaving. As she grew older, in order to stay, she combed her own hair in a bun and became an aunt.
With Zimo's company, Zhou Hui was guilty and distressed. The girl who grew up with her since she was a child, the most beautiful years did not put on red makeup, the scenery married her lover, gave birth to children, and she was healthy and happy all her life.
But follow her everywhere, endure hardships and hardships, if you leave, you have to rely on her to take care of your daughter, work hard, and don't have to be idle, it's really too much to owe... In the next life, let me be your maid...
Zhou Hui, I will help you choose a lover for Zimo, see her marry beautifully, see her full of children and grandchildren, and be happy until she is old.
I will grant your wishes, I promise...
So, you have a good rest, drink Meng Po's soup, have no worries in this life, and come to life well...
――
On the fifth day of the fourth month, Zhou Hui's death day.
The people in the house were busy up and down, preparing to go on the road to worship outside Qingluo Town.
A few days ago, someone came from Li's house, one was to send sacrifices, but some burning paper incense candles.
The second is to send a piece of monthly silver to this Miss Li family who is outside. There are not many things, a few pieces of satin, and the color style is not suitable for Li Yuqing's age. Some ordinary soil instruments, a few catties of broken bird's nests, and twenty-four taels of silver.
The male steward who delivered the things was dressed in dark blue silk, with thick nostrils, looking at people with his chin up, very arrogant, and his words to Li Yu were full of contempt. I think I know that she is not taken seriously, and she doesn't have a good face for her, the person who is the master.
Mama Yang and Zimo were very respectful and considerate in the face of the steward, and they were offering tea and stuffing silver, so that he could go back and say good things to Li Yuqing.
But when the steward left, Mama Yang couldn't help but be indignant: "These servants in the main mansion are too ignorant of the rules, and they look like this to the young lady..."
As he spoke, he sighed and stopped.
Zimo Xiuwan's face also frowned: "The festival is getting less and less every year, how can we rely on the annual regulations, we also have to find some livelihood subsidies, otherwise we will have to live tightly." ”
——-——
When it was almost time, Li Yuqing and his entourage were about to go out, when an old woman came with a cart of goods and a few sturdy male servants.
The old woman was dressed in a dark purple gold cicada sprinkled brocade dress, her hair was meticulously combed, her hairpin ring was decent, and her face was solemn. He is about fifty years old, with only a few wrinkles on his face, and only the silver threads on his hair reveal his age.
As soon as Zimo saw the woman, she stepped forward quickly: "Mama Qin, why are you here?" ”
The tone was mixed with surprise, and the usual dignity could not be maintained.
He glanced at Li Yuqing again: "Miss, this is your grandmother's Mama Qin." ”
Li Yuqing understood, stepped forward and saluted Mama Qin uprightly: "Mama Qin." ”
Qin Rong helped Li Yuqing up and swept her eyes. The green silk is extraordinarily smooth, and in the light, it looks like a shining silver belt.
The facial features are not delicate and beautiful, but the skin is white and tender and can pinch out the water, the eyes are a little lazy, and the eyes are slightly moving, as if pouring tender affection, but if there is nothing.
The body is slender, and the etiquette is smooth, which is quite pleasing to the eye.
Qin Rong is satisfied, worthy of being the daughter of Zhou Hui and the uncle, although she is not very beautiful, but her every move is full of brilliance, comparing the well-educated ladies in the house, and she can compare with the third lady Li Yuyan.
She stepped forward and kissed Li Yuqing's hand, and sighed: "Pity my sister, you are suffering here!" This time, Mrs. Tai privately asked me to come and see you and bring you something. ”
As he spoke, he asked the servants to unload the things from the car, pointed to a pile and said, "These supplements are used to replenish your body, before Zimo wrote that you were seriously ill, and Mrs. Tai was worried about it, and she was also sick, and she only smiled when she knew that you were well." Are you feeling better? Look at your complexion now, it's much more ruddy. ”
"It's much better, thank you Mama for your concern. Please say hello to my grandmother on my behalf and let her take care of herself. Now I can't do my filial piety, and my granddaughter will copy the scriptures and pray for my grandmother every day. ”
"What a good boy, smart and filial, Mrs. Tai may be so happy to hear this!"
"Good sister, look here, these boxes are clothing and jewelry, Mrs. Tai said that the little girl just has to dress up well, these are all picked by Mrs. herself. Miss, don't think Mrs. Tai is ruthless, I have let your mother and daughter here for so many years, and no one has come to pick you up after Miss Cousin's fragrance is damaged, Mrs. Tai is your grandmother's mother-in-law, will she not hurt your mother and daughter? It's true that Mrs. has not been easy in recent years! ”
"How can you blame Grandmother? I am her granddaughter, my mother is her niece, we are all blood relatives, nothing could be closer! ”
Li Yuqing paused and continued:
"I know my grandmother's suffering. Please tell your grandmother that Yuqing is living a very comfortable life here. It's good here, the house may not be more peaceful than here, please grandmother don't worry too much about her granddaughter. ”
"Good! Good! Miss is sensible when she says this, Mrs. Tai didn't hurt you in vain! ”
Mama Qin nodded, her impression of Li Yuqing in her heart was a little better, this is really a smart child, and Mrs. can rest assured.
Mama Qin left after the things were delivered, because she came secretly, and she had to hurry back. Before leaving, Li Yuqing was given a silver ticket of five hundred taels.
Due to a delay when going out, Li Yuqing went outside the town to worship the original owner's mother, and came back in the evening.
I ate some casually as dinner and went to the study to practice calligraphy for a while. She is a third-year history student in modern times, loves poetry, and has also practiced calligraphy since childhood.
When she saw the original owner's words for the first time, she was very surprised, she and the original owner's words were exactly the same!
