089 Mother and daughter (1)
As she approached, a faint scent of herbs hit with the night wind, Qiu Xiyin smiled and welcomed again and again, and ordered Xiaoxiu to also take his needlework basket.
After Huang Xiu took the basket, Qiu Xiyin picked up the fan pendant on the top and said with a smile, "I just asked for a fan pendant from my eldest cousin a few days ago, and the pattern is excellent, I was thinking about what to do with this pattern, and it happened that the second sister came and gave me an idea."
Qiu Xiyin asked for a fan pendant from Xie Jiamu and put it in the basket, just waiting to find the right time to find revenge, and provoked the conversation, and now Qiu Buyi has come to the door by himself, which is the best.
Qiu Busui's eyes flashed slightly, he took the fan pendant from Qiu Xiyin's hand, looked it up and down, and said with a smile, "It's really excellent, I am almost reluctant to let go."
"That's not it, my eldest cousin is still reluctant to give it to me! Lie to me and say that I bought it for a few pennies, I don't believe it! If it was really bought for a few pennies, why didn't he give it to me? β
Qiu Xiyin puffed out her cheeks, looking innocent, Qiu Busui's smile was sluggish, and she returned to normal in an instant, and poked her forehead affectionately, "Cousin naturally wants to say that it was bought for a few pennies, do you have to tell you carefully whether it cost thirty-five or fifty-three pennies?" β
It's naturally no problem to fool children with such words, how could Qiu Xiyin be easily led by her nose, pretending to be mysterious, "Anyway, I know why, he didn't tell me, I know too!" β
Qiu Busui's heart suddenly sudden, no, no, don't say that she, the third sister, just came to the capital, she won't find any clues at all, even if she really finds something, how can she talk to her in such a tone?
Qiu Bu tried to pretend to be casual, "You are a ghost, what do you know?" Come and talk to the second sister."
Qiu Xiyin shook his head again and again, "No, I promised my cousin not to tell others!" β
At the mention of Xie Jiashu, Qiu Bufu became cautious and coaxed, "We are sisters, how can we be regarded as others?" β
Qiu Xiyin continued to shake his head, "I have already promised my cousin, I can't say it."
She looks naΓ―ve and ignorant, but she attaches more and more importance to it, and what the child says is most likely to be the truth!
She has been happy with Xie Jiamu since she was a child, and later by chance she found that Xie Jiamu also likes herself, there is nothing more rare in this world than being happy, and there is nothing more intoxicating than being happy with Xie Jiamu, for him, she can do anything!
She also knew that just looking at Mrs. Xie's attitude towards the Xie family, her relationship with his family would never go well, but she also firmly believed that as long as they were happy with each other and thought of a way together, they would definitely be able to have lovers and eventually become married!
My cousin is so capable, he will always think of a way!
She will also beg her father, her father is soft-hearted, she asks a few more times, how filial she is, and her cousin is so good, her father will never stop her!
And now Qiu Xiyin obviously knows something, she has reached the age of discussing relatives, and her cousin is not young, it is the most critical time, she must not let go of such a thing!
The thoughts in her mind turned sharply, the smile on her face became more and more gentle, she put down the needle and thread and pulled Qiu Xiyin's hand and shook it back and forth, "Third sister, tell me quickly, I'm almost curious to death."
Qiu Xiyin only shook his head and didn't answer, Qiu Busui lowered his voice, "Then I'll tell Yinyin a secret first, okay?" β
Qiu Xiyin's eyes widened suddenly, "What secret?" β
Qiu Busui waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go out, and lowered his voice, "I once overheard my father and mother arguing, and my father asked my mother to control the four sisters more, so as not to be unlikable to my in-laws when I grow up, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in my husband's familyββ"
Qiu Busui paused his voice, Qiu Xiyin subconsciously held her breath, this is also the place she was most puzzled about in her previous life, Xie Shi is knowledgeable and courteous, and his temperament is quiet and almost indifferent, how can he tolerate his most painful Qiu Buyi to become a waste who does not learn and has no skills, has no city government, and will only babble when encountering trouble, and be deceived by others?
Even if it is love, this love is too much, or too blind, and Xie Shi, obviously, will never be the kind of person who will only blindly pamper his children.
Qiu Busui smiled with satisfaction, "Yinyin, should we change the secret?" β
Qiu Xiyin clenched his fists, "Then you say it first."
Qiu Busui seemed to be very sure of her, but he didn't dwell on the question of who said first, and continued, "You also know, my mother is really too indulgent to the fourth sister, and even my grandmother doesn't dare to restrain her.
The whole family, only the fourth sister can make loud noises without fear, run and jump, play wherever she wants, study if she wants to learn, forget it if she doesn't want to learn, her mother never insisted, don't say it's you, it's me, sometimes I'm jealous."
She sighed when she said this, the look on her face became lonely, Qiu Buwei is not like Qiu Xiyin, she grew up beside the Xie family since she was a child, and the indifference of the Xie family must be an extreme injury to her, right?
The kind of apprehension, uneasiness, and overwhelm that Qiu Xiyin once experienced in the face of Xie's family, the kind of panic, doubt, and self-doubt that she didn't know what she had done wrong and was treated so indifferently by her own mother, she must have also experienced it, right? Especially against the backdrop of hatred with all the privileges.
Qiu Xiyin comforted and held her hand, Qiu Busu suddenly smiled, "When I was twelve years old, it was also a summer afternoon, and in the morning, I was punished by my husband for standing all morning because I didn't memorize the book well. When my mother found out, she forbade me not to eat for a day.
At that time, the fourth sister was already five years old, and she had been learning words for a year, and the day before her husband assigned her to write five big characters, she didn't write a word, but Mr. didn't punish her, and her mother didn't even scold her.
I suddenly felt so aggrieved that I didn't want to stay in this house anymore! I'm going to find a watch - I'm going to find my grandfather!
With a sense of anger, I secretly avoided the people who were waiting, and took the path to the Hanging Flower Gate, and when I got there, I realized that it was impossible for me to avoid the eyes of the gatekeeper, let alone go to Xie's alley alone."
Qiu Busui smiled bitterly when he said this, "But I didn't want to go back, so I found a secret place to hide, I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just wanted to hide there, I didn't want to see anyone."
Qiu Xiyin patted her hand again, like this, when she didn't want to see anyone, she just wanted to hide alone, she had experienced countless times in her previous life, and most of them were given by Xie and Old Lady Qiu.
Qiu Busui shook his head at her and smiled bitterly, "Later, the house became lively, I knew that they were looking for me, and then I was afraid, afraid that after my mother found me, she would punish me more severely, and I didn't dare to come out."
When it was almost dark, my father and mother finally found my hiding place, and I thought they would find me soon, but I didn't want them to stand still and quarrel not far from me."
