Chapter Eighty-Four: Red Plum Rukang

"Come, you can mention a poem, I will write it in willow script...... Or do you like skinny gold? Yes! By the way, I have a lot of experience with Song Huizong's thin golden body in the past few days......" He grinded happily, not noticing Ruojun's discomfort at all.

Mei Ruojun, who was dizzy, had any poetry at this time, she only felt weak all over. The door opened, Cuiliu walked in, and when she saw Ruojun's face, she exclaimed, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Hurry up and lie down. ”

At this time, Ryan nervously put down his pen and ink and stepped forward to check. After the two placed Mei Ruojun on the bed, Mei Ruojun fell asleep.

"Young Master, I think it's better to ask the doctor to take a look."

"Do you need it? Okay, good, you go and please. ”

Cuiliu hurriedly turned around and ran out, found Mrs. Zhou, and told her about the matter, Mrs. Zhou looked indifferent, snorted coldly from her nose, and said contemptuously: "Sick again?" But it's really sick, how many times has she been sick in the past year? Last year, she fell ill at Mei's house, and the sick Ruikang was fascinated, and at the beginning of this year, the sick Ruikang went crazy, what did she want to do this time? Do you want to separate the newlywed husband and wife with Ruikang's disease? She didn't want to! Let her keep it, she doesn't have to say hello in the morning and evening these days, and she doesn't need to serve three meals a day. ”

"But, but, madam, the eldest young grandmother really has a bad face, and besides, the second young master is not in Peking now, so let's let the doctor take a look......

"I said no!" Mrs. Zhou glared at Cuiliu sternly, stopped talking, lifted her noble head, and turned to leave. Cuiliu's body shook, after all, she is the master, she is the subordinate, she can't do anything on her own.

It wasn't until the sun went down and at dusk that Ruojun woke up slowly, he had really worked too hard these days, with his head slightly sideways, a small pink face on the edge of the bed, looking at her with a pair of clear and bright eyes, soft hair combed with small braids, and two red head ropes.

"Sister Ruojun, are you sick?" Xunmei said with a wink.

Ruojun touched her face and said with a smile: "No, my sister is just a little tired." What are you doing squatting there, how tired, hurry up and get to bed. ”

"No! My brother said that if I go to bed, it will disturb your sleep and make me squat on the side. ”

Ruojun sneered: "Your brother, there are a bunch of strange ideas, don't listen to him, come up." He patted the bed.

Xun Mei happily took off her shoes, climbed into bed, got into the quilt, hugged Ruojun tightly, and put her face on Ruojun's chest: "Sister, you have to get better quickly." Xunmei don't be lonely. ”

Ruojun cupped her little face and said distressedly: "Xunmei is not alone, you have a brother, and Sister Ruojun, my sister will not leave you." ”

"Where's Brother Ruikang? Why doesn't he want us anymore? ”

Ruojun frowned slightly, sighed and said, "Brother Ruikang is a man, he needs to work, and he is married now, and you have a sister-in-law." So there are more and more people who love Xunmei. She frowned and smiled.

"What is marriage?" Xun Mei asked innocently.

"Hmm...... It's like your dad and your mother, Ryan's brother and me, grandpa and grandma...... Everybody wants to get married when they grow up......."

Xun Mei tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly nodded and said loudly: "Then I will marry my brother when I grow up......"

Ruojun couldn't help but be amused by her and shook her head and said: "No, no, you can't marry your brother, when you grow up, you have to find a man who you like him, he likes you, and there is no blood relationship, you can get married." ”

"Then Brother Ruikang has found someone he likes?"

Ruojun nodded sullenly.

"Is it fun to get married? Why get married? ”

Xunmei's questions became more and more tricky, making Ruojun a little confused about how to answer: "This...... Only when you get married, can you give birth to a baby, and you can give birth to such a cute child like Xunmei. ”

"Really? That ......"

Before Xun Mei finished asking, the door was pushed open, Shu Zhi walked in lightly, and saw Xun Mei talking to Ruojun on the bed, his shoulders were loosened, he sighed, frowned, and shook his head: "Didn't I tell you not to go to bed and quarrel with my sister?" ”

"Where? I've been squatting on the edge of the bed all the time. It was my sister who woke up and let me go to bed. Xunmei pouted aggrievedly.

Ruojun sat up, pulled his slightly messy hair, smiled and beckoned to Shu Zhi, asking him to come to his side as well.

Shu Zhi walked over and asked with concern, "Sister, do you feel better?" I heard Cuiliu and Mrs. Zhou say that they want to call a doctor, but Mrs. Zhou refuses. ”

Ruojun smiled bitterly, she knew that this would be the result, Mrs. Zhou's hatred for her, I am afraid that only death can end, she doesn't care much now, whether she hates or is angry, she can only do her duty and pull Shu Zhi and Xunmei to grow up, and she will be satisfied.

Whenever she sees Shu Zhi and Xunmei, she feels that there is still a weak bond between her and Ruikang, and this bond brings her some comfort.

"Sister, I'll go to the study to find Brother Ryan and ask him to find a doctor."

"No need, my sister is fine, just tired and resting for a while. Let's go for a walk in the garden. ”

Ruojun got up and sat in front of the dresser to comb her hair, Xunmei helped her hold the small mirror on the side, Shu Zhi reached out and flipped in the head flower box, found a big red gold-edged silk flower, handed it to Ruojun and said, "Wear this!" ”

"This one is too red, I'm still wearing a lighter one."

"No, wear this." Shu Zhi insisted, snatched the light green silk flower from her hand, and then took the red silk flower and inserted it next to her bun.

Shu Zhi searched around the table for a while, picked up the rouge paper and handed it to her, and said seriously, with a hint of command: "Use this." ”

Ruojun looked at his little adult-like appearance, only felt funny, took it, looked at the mirror, elegantly put his two petal-like lips on the rouge paper, and gently snorted.

Shu Zhi watched her lips turn rosy, very happy, Xun Mei put down the mirror, and clapped her little hands excitedly and enviously: "Sister, I want it too, I want it too." ”

"Okay." Ruojun put the rouge paper on Xunmei's small lips, Xunmei used a lot of force, but because she used too hard, the red rouge dyed her small mouth red, which provoked Ruojun and Shu Zhi to endure more than handsome.

"Oops, look at you stupid, ugly." Shu Zhi laughed.

Ruojun hurriedly picked up a handkerchief to wipe her, the three of them were hip-hop and funny, suddenly the door was pushed open, Mrs. Zhou walked in with frost on her face, and Ryan and Cuiliu followed.

"Is this what you said, the sick who need to be called a doctor? It's the first time I've seen such a happy patient. Mrs. Zhou squinted her eyes and said to Ryan and Cuiliu behind her.

Cuiliu lowered her head and didn't speak, she went to the study to find Ryan to find Mrs. Zhou, but she didn't expect the current scene to be so difficult to explain.

Ryan was very happy to see Ruojun talking and laughing, walked to the dresser, and held her hand excitedly: "Ruojun, how are you, how are you?" That's great. ”

Ruojun smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm fine." Maybe just tired. ”

"Tired? Are you tired? The eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhou family, is it tiring to live without worrying about food and clothing? Mrs. Zhou paced in, said sharply, casually looking around at the delicate beauty in the chrysanthemum garden, the bright windows, the bright dark red window lattices, the rosewood tables and chairs, covered with off-white crochet tablecloths, the wardrobe carved with a hundred flowers and rich pictures and the bed frame carved with a hundred children, and the soft and comfortable velvet brocade quilt, and then thinking of the shabby and tattered little attic, Mei Ruojun, what right did she have to complain?

Ruojun bowed her head and said nothing, Ryan stood aside and hugged her shoulder, Mrs. Zhou walked to the bedside, swept the rack on the bedside table at a glance, picked it up and saw that she was embroidering a word that was very sensitive in the Zhou family: "Kang!" Mrs. Zhou's face sank suddenly.

Ruojun's heart was shocked, she must have misunderstood, she must have thought that she was embroidering a handkerchief for Ruikang, she would definitely use this to attack, and sure enough, Mrs. Zhou picked up the bandage and walked up to her and threw it into her arms: "What do you want?" ”

She was pale and holding the bandage, trying to defend herself, but how was she going to explain? Do you want to tell Mrs. Zhou that this is a handkerchief made by a buyer, so that you don't have to explain all the only way for her to make money? Mrs. Zhou will definitely be furious, and will investigate thoroughly to the end, her only source of livelihood is gone, and even Cuiliu will be implicated, no, she can't say it, she bit her lower lip and kept silent.

"You have forced Ruikang to run away from home, so that our mother and son, father and son can't think of each other, so that their brothers have no face to see each other, and you are still embroidering his name here?!" Mrs. Zhou's eyes burned with anger, in fact, this anger would involuntarily burn every time she saw Mei Ruojun.

"Mother!" Ryan stopped his mother, but the word "Kang" embroidered on the stretch frame in Mei Ruojun's arms made his heart be pressed by a boulder, and he didn't know how to defend her, after all, the love between Mei Ruojun and Zhou Ruikang was no secret in the Zhou family, although he was very grateful, Ruojun finally became his veritable wife, but he still hoped that she could be single-minded to himself.

He frowned and lowered his head, Mrs. Zhou was restrained from her anger by her son's drink, after all, she didn't want Ryan to suffer more. But she couldn't stand this woman embroidering Ruikang's name, she snatched the bandage from Mei Ruojun's arms again, picked up the scissors in the sewing box, and cut them down with scissors.

"Ahh Don't! Mei Ruojun rushed up to snatch the rack back, it was her hard day's work, Mrs. Chen was still waiting for her to deliver it, but Mrs. Zhou's scissors still pierced the poor handkerchief, only to hear a "----snort" sound, the middle of the rack had been cut in the middle, and the beautiful word "Kang" was cut in half.
