This family banquet is actually not rich, but I heard my mother say that these dishes are what she and Yunzhi like to eat. At first, Qiaozhi still took a spoon and a small spoonful of soup and rice, but later on, she couldn't care about any table manners. It looks like a simple dish, but it doesn't taste good. Some of the dishes look similar to modern ones, but they are sweeter and more mellow when tasted on a closer look. Every time I take a bite of a dish, the BGM of "food on the tip of the tongue" automatically comes to my mind. As a direct result, she eats every bite with special piety. was so shocked that Yunzhi gave her vegetables again and again, for fear that she would be hungry.

Qiaozhi used to need to manage her body because of work, and she was either losing weight or on the way to lose weight. Most of the time, a glass of milk with oats and dates is her day's meal. Occasionally, she opened a small stove to eat a cheating meal, and she had to clean the vegetables with oil and water before she stopped. And here, there is no need to worry so much, she doesn't need to be so strict with her figure.

The time of a meal is also very fast. In the blink of an eye, Qiaozhi was picked up by Yunzhi again, and stood aside waiting for the autumn queen of his mother's mother.

"Qiaozhi, tell your mother first, what's going on between you and that scholar?" Yu's mother endured it again and again, but she still couldn't hold back, "A woman's family, pulling and pulling with others in public, like something!" ”

"No, mother!" Qiaozhi's eyes widened, and the laziness caused by eating and drinking just now was swept away: "Me and that Zhao Yu are not what you think!" ”

"Really! Don't believe you ask my sister! ”

Seeing that Yu's mother still didn't believe it, Qiaozhi had no choice but to drag her sister into the water. However, her sister sat next to Yu's mother, but she was silent and didn't give half a look. Qiaozhi was helpless, so she could only tell Yu's mother how to meet Zhao Yu and the ins and outs of the inkstone. When he said that he had replaced the ancestral inkstone for seventy taels of silver, Qiaozhi became more and more weak, her head became lower and lower, and she didn't dare to look at Yu's mother anymore.

"Nonsense" Yu's mother was really angry, and stood up and poked Qiaozhi's head, "You dare to be someone's heirloom token!" If your sister hadn't come looking for you, wouldn't you have stayed there until you died? ”

Qiaozhi covered her head and was silent by default, and she didn't know if it was a family tradition of their Yu family to poke her head, and they liked to poke her when they were angry.

She hugged her head and smiled flatteringly at Yu's mother: "It's not that I don't want to come back...."It's not that I just came through, I don't know that my mother's family is so powerful...

"Alas, that's it," Yu's mother sighed. "Tell me about you and Shi Yao, this kid... He was fine a year ago, but he fell ill with a sudden illness, and I didn't hear of a plague when I went to you that day."

"I don't know... Mother, I don't know" Qiaozhi thought she would answer, but she didn't know why this sentence naturally appeared, and she cried through her mouth: "At first, A-Yao just had a fever. I went to the clinic to get him medicine and treat him, but he didn't get better for a day or two. A few days later, bruises of different sizes began to appear on Ah Yao's body, and he had pain all day long, and his legs couldn't be lifted as if they were tied with sandbags. ”

Speaking of this, Qiaozhi couldn't help crying, and after calming down for a moment before continuing to talk to Yu's mother, Yunzhi said: "At the beginning, I also sent a letter to my mother's house, and I wanted to ask my mother to find a few better doctors for me, but my mother never replied to me. ”

Mother Yu shook her head when she heard this, frowned, and said, "I have never seen your letter... You and Yunzhi's letters, every day I send Uncle He to the post station to ask, for fear that one day I didn't miss your letter. Even when Shi Yao's child died, I listened to what others said... You've been a child, and I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the blow, so I asked your sister to take you home

Why didn't the letter arrive? Did there be a mistake in the middle or was that Uncle He hiding the letters? At this moment, Qiaozhi had countless questions in her heart, but she had no way to ask, so she could only continue to talk about the original owner: "Ah Yao's condition is not always good, and then when she only has a moment of soberness every day, the medicine is out that day, I went to the hospital to grab the medicine for him, but when I came back, I saw the neighbors surrounding my door, and Ah Yao was sitting outside the door, but she was out of breath." Two Taoist priests came from behind and told me that Ah Yao had collided with the ghost king, and that he should be buried in time without delay. ”

"Mother, I'm so painful, I'm so bitter... I watched Ah Yao weaken a little bit, I saw him vomiting blood on my back every day, I heard him frowning his eyebrows and shouting pain every night, but he couldn't wake up in a dream, I saw him trying to stand up secretly when I went out to grab medicine but fell to the ground" Qiao Zhi threw herself into Yu's mother's arms, and her tears slid straight down like ice cubes on nine cold days, falling into Yu's mother's heart, freezing her to pain" The neighbors said that I had overcome A-Yao, saying that if it weren't for me, A-Yao wouldn't have this strange disease. Mother, I heard them say this, I was so uncomfortable, but I couldn't do anything, I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted to accompany A-Yao...."Qiaozhi stopped when she said this, and only nested in Yu's mother's arms and didn't make a sound.

For a long, long time, Qiaozhi already knew that the breath of the original owner had dissipated, but she was still immersed in such a pain and couldn't come back to her senses.

In front of her eyes, Shi Yao's appearance was gradually outlined, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, lips like new cherries, skin like condensation, and a handsome and good skin. This scene was still Shi Yao's extremely gentle gaze, and the beautifully shaped lips were gently close to her ears; In the next scene, Shi Yao was lying on the bed, her face was withered, her face was gray, and she weakly pulled up the corners of her chapped and dry mouth, so that she didn't have to worry......

Qiaozhi closed her eyes vigorously, absorbing all the sudden memories, and also buried the sadness left by the original owner in the bottom of her heart. After a moment, she raised her head and asked Yu's mother about the doubts she had not asked: "Mother... I remember sending you four or five letters because of Ah Yao's affairs, but couldn't I have received them?"

Before Yu's mother could answer, Yunzhi, who was standing aside, shook his head: "Don't say it's four or five letters at that time." Since you didn't listen to our advice and moved to Yanling, my mother and I have never received any letters from you. At first, my mother and I thought that you still held a grudge against your mother for not agreeing to this marriage, and you were making a petty nature. I tried to write a few letters. But you still don't reply. In fact, I have long wanted to go to Yanling to see you, but now the situation is turbulent and wars are frequent. Your brother-in-law is busy with business, and I have to take care of the affairs of the family inside and outside for him. ”

This ancient post station is also too unreliable...... Qiaozhi was speechless and choked, although the memories she had just absorbed did not have the memories of Shi Yao's illness, but she was bored in the first few days of wearing, but she turned the house upside down, not to mention family letters, and she didn't see half of any letters.

She shook her head honestly, and coquettishly said to Yu's mother and Yunzhi: "I haven't received any letters from you... I thought it was my sister and mother who didn't want me anymore, and even those letters asking for help were written with the idea of giving it a try. ”

This is the truth, the pretty branch in her memory was already panicked when Shi Yao was sometimes awake and sometimes chaotic and sleepy, and washed her face with tears all day long. The more famous doctors in the Yanling Medical Center are all traveling for some reason, and the medical skills left behind are not proficient. At first, she invited a few doctors to go to her home for diagnosis and treatment, but without exception, these doctors all stood in front of the hospital bed with red faces and thick necks, and said that although this son's face looked dead, his pulse was stable, and he was very healthy... Why don't I prescribe a prescription for my son to take care of his body?

"You, you have been a sincere child since you were a child, I thought you would be like your sister, marrying an official who matches our Yu Mansion or a slightly lower level" Yu's mother closed her eyes and shook her head helplessly: "But who knows where you met Shi Yao's child, your father wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law at that time, you didn't want to, saying that this kind of fear broke the arrogance of Shi Yao's scholars, and in the end, I don't know what to do, I actually hid from your eldest brother and second brother, and secretly moved to Yanling." ”

"Mother, I...."

"You always told me about love and love during that time, and I don't know which book you were stunned by" Yu's mother interrupted Qiaozhi and continued, "Shi Yao, he is a good boy. But Qiaozhi, we living people have to look forward, my mother knows that you value love and righteousness, and you are reluctant to shine when you are reluctant, but people can't be resurrected after death, you can't always immerse yourself in the past, even your mother and sister don't want it"

"At that time, you always said that my mother was old and didn't understand the emotions of young people. But your father and I, haven't we come through so many years of wind and rain? Isn't your father a military general still trained by me to obey? You have a different temperament from your brother and sister since you were a child, you are like a child raised by a civil family, and your father and I didn't expect that you would pay attention to it so properly in your own marriage. ”

Qiaozhi bowed her head and was obediently trained, she didn't expect the original owner to look soft and weak, but she longed for the free love of modern people, and ran away from home with her husband to wander Yanling.

"I won't talk much about anything else. I have no objection to you reciting Shi Yao, tomorrow I will let Uncle He tidy up a new ancestral hall for you to worship. Your father and brother will come back from the barracks in a few days, you should stay at home for a few days and relax" After saying this, Yu's mother finally sighed, held the hand of the mother-in-law next to her, and went back to the room to rest.

Yun Zhi saw that his mother had gone away, and hurriedly sent the two maids who had been following Qiao Zhi: "Qiu Yue, Qing Yue, don't hurry up and help your young lady back to the house to rest, remember to give her a bucket of hot water, and take a good pick up and wash the dust." ”

... ...

After bathing, Qiaozhi was also a little tired. Qingyue and Qiuyue made the bed for her, and she lay on it trying to sort out the memories that suddenly poured in, but she couldn't resist the deep sleep. But this night, she did not sleep peacefully, half-asleep and half-awake, she seemed to see a woman with the same appearance as her, dressed in white single clothes, full of gratitude to her, without saying anything, and walked into the distance.

As the day dawned, she woke up from her sleep, feeling the memories of the original owner gradually recovering, recalling the scene in the dream. Qiaozhi silently said in her heart: I will live for you, and I will take care of your family for you. So, pretty branches, you should rest assured.
