1. Still sleeping, still sleeping, and waking up tasteless.
"Old lady, young lady is dead"
The girl finished her words and waited for her master's signal
The old lady didn't look at her, glanced sideways at the couch, was helped up by Chun Xing from the chair, walked to the door, turned her head and said slowly
"Came to my house for more than 20 years, nothing to say, and everywhere behaved like a little lady crazy, my son (two voices) gone, if you read more of the Bodhisattva, less of those fancy looks, I am afraid you will not die so early. Let's go and buy a coffin, and you don't have to have a funeral, let's bury it thickly."
The girl was instructed to take care of it. A general's wife ended the first half of her life in such a hurry, and no one shed tears for her.
Rumeng remembered that the sunset of that day reflected in the window lattice, shining on her pale face, and the last moment she lost consciousness, she thought: If she didn't go to worship with her grandmother and sisters that day, and didn't marry into the Fang family, everything would be different.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in the boudoir in my memory, and the girl Ping'er was anxiously waiting by the bed, and when she saw the young lady in front of her open her eyes, tears of joy fell
"Miss, you're awake, it's all bad for Ping'er, you should be guarding you, and you won't be pushed down by the third lady"
Yes, when Rumeng was 13 years old, she accidentally fell off the garden stone mountain because she competed with her third sister Ruzhu for the golden hairpin, and broke her hand bone. I woke up the next day.
Is it a dream, because of deep remorse, let her return to the Chinese New Year and go through the past again. But if it's really a dream, how can I let the nightmare happen again.
"Water"
Ping'er quickly poured a cup of tea, perhaps because she hadn't eaten food since she was injured, Rumeng only felt that her body was sore and weak, so Ping'er fed herself.
Clearing his throat, he asked, as if he dreamed of confirming his guess
"Auntie has been here? It must have been a cry, right? ”
Rumeng's father is the second son of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, the eldest son Liu Yi, who inherited the Marquis of Pingyang at the age of 21 and served as the chief bookkeeper in the Zhan Mansion. In the same year, he found an errand for his younger brother Liu Chang to find a school book in Zhan Shifu. Uncle has made great achievements in political affairs, and now he has done less Zhan things. And his father was still the nine-grade school book, and he didn't want to be motivated, and soon after marrying his wife, he welcomed in four concubines. And Rumeng's biological mother is the fourth aunt, who was originally a Shao dance released by the teaching department, but when she is old, if she wants to find a rich family, she can only be a concubine with someone. But if the concubine is soft and glutinous, she can only admit that she is bullied.
"The aunt was worried that the young lady would be disabled in the future, so she sat here and cried for a long time, asking the slave to say that as long as the young lady is alive, everything is fine."
Ping'er is still young, and when it comes to life and death, it is extremely bland. Don't you know that even the eyes of others will be disgusted.
Ping'er put Rumeng on the couch again, and turned around to arrange food. Close your eyes and rest. Images of past lives are presented one by one......
Suddenly, Rumeng woke up, remembering that after he fell off the rockery, Ruzhu, who was also from his aunt, was injured by his mother and was punished by his mother, that is, Liu Chang's original wife, and the ancestral hall was closed for a month. The whole family was so uproared by the third aunt that even the uncle, who had never interfered in the affairs of the second room, was shocked.
And the third sister Ruzhu has become more sensible and well-behaved since that time, and she doesn't often go out of the boudoir, which is quite liked by the old grandmother who went to the house, and personally picked a fast son-in-law for her.
But Rumeng has become a brutal and willful Miss Jiao in the eyes of her family, snatching her heart with her sister and narrow-minded. No one remembers that she was so badly injured that she was in bed for a month.
If you want to change the impression in everyone's mind, you can't let things develop like in the previous life, and you have to do something now. And there was no good countermeasure for a while, so he sighed, called Ping'er, and said
"Ping'er, you can't go for a walk in the garden as usual, you can tell me something about the house, so that I can pass the time"
"Miss, what can I say, oh, last night the third miss was punished by Mrs. to go to the ancestral hall, saying that she was going to be closed for a month, and finally your injuries were not in vain"
"Who wants you to say this, tell me about your grandmother, your father, and the big house?"
"Old lady? Isn't it eating fasting and reciting Buddha, ignoring family affairs, I heard that I sent two dishes to the ancestral hall early this morning; The lord came back last night and knew that Mrs. had punished the third lady, and he didn't say much, he just said that it was good to be punished, and not to be short of food and clothing; The old man and the slave don't know, and I have to take care of you again through this thick courtyard wall......"
Rumeng caught a hint in Ping'er's trivial words, and it seems that if you want to change, you can only start from here, which is neither eye-catching nor fruitless.
Pulling through the chattering Ping'er, leaning over and whispering in her ear, just like that, he took the first step in the dream.
In his previous life, after marrying into the Fang family in a dream, it was difficult to see his husband again except for the candles in the cave room that day. Fang Yujiang either drank with his brothers in the army, or went to the paddock to ride and shoot, and more often went to the "Spring Festival Building" with dignitaries to discuss state affairs. Although she rarely wanders around on weekdays, she also knows that it is a place of red lights, and all kinds of women who are fat and thin, riding and shooting, poetry, wine, and charming skills can be called means, and they are much more interesting than her playing the piano and painting.
"The old lady is coming"
Ping'er was not married at that time, and guarded her mother-in-law like a spy every day
"The bride is so interested, she is here to sing poems and paint, you are a newcomer, I am broad to you in all things, it doesn't matter, do you see that I am from a commoner, not as literate as you?
"The daughter-in-law doesn't dare"
"From your father-in-law, which of this big family is not in charge of me, Jiang'er fights for strength, and earns me back a martial arts general. My son works hard for the state every day, and you don't serve wholeheartedly, and you put more effort into food, clothing, and daily life, but you make these fancy things! ”
"Daughter-in-law knows her mistakes"
Rumeng always lowered her head at this time until the old lady walked away.
The twilight slowly sank, drowning the trellises and the vines in the corners. Without her husband's favor, she doesn't have the courage to look up.
Back in front of him, since the last time he fell off the stone mountain and was injured, he has never left the boudoir, such as a dream often dreaming of his past life, dreaming of grievances and grievances with the Fang family. Today she wants to tidy herself up, after all, she is now a housewife who is nearly forty years old, and in this cardamom body, she will always behave abruptly. Second, I also want to recall the past personnel, since I married the wife of the Fang family in my previous life, it is inevitable that my mother-in-law will put her beak and never contact her mother's family again. Many trivial things are forgotten in old age.
"Miss, it's time for lunch, today's small kitchen specially boiled pigeon soup, which is the most nourishing for your bone injury"
Ping'er was quick with her hands and feet, and quickly prepared the meal. The lunch meal is the most sumptuous, and there are four dishes and one soup for Miss Shuchu alone, and there will be more if it is the main room. Each room has a small kitchen that is different from the main room, which can ensure that you can eat warm food.
"Today's vegetarian order has not gone down"
"Miss, don't worry, it's all arranged, and two fresh dishes are selected every day and delivered on time. There has been no movement for the first two days, and since yesterday it has been returned with empty plates."
"Well, even if the arrangement continues, you must also do your best every day, and it is best to achieve both color and flavor, and the saltiness and lightness should be moderate."
"The slave knows"
This dish of pine nuts and seafood corn kernels tasted sweet, and she ate more of them like a dream, and Ping'er saw that she liked it, so she moved to it. This lunch was eaten until nearly midnight, and Rumeng used a whole bowl of rice. In order to eat, Heping Er took a walk in his small yard.
After a while, the fourth aunt came to her small courtyard with Cui'e in a hurry, and before she could stand up, she heard a complaint
"Meng'er, that third lady almost took my son's life, if you don't hold a grudge, why do you still send her soup and food every day? My aunt can't figure it out, no one cares about my son's injury, so why don't we want our mother and daughter to stick it upside down? ”
Speaking of excitement, my aunt took out her handkerchief and began to cry.
If there is anyone who really loves like a dream, I am afraid that there is only the fourth aunt. In the previous life, it was one of the regrets of not being filial to the biological mother to be like a dream, and if there was still a chance, I would be more patient.
"Auntie, don't be in a hurry, listen to Meng'er's explanation"
Pulling his aunt to sit on the stone bench, he bent his knees in front of his mother like a dream
"Arguing with the third sister, both of us are at fault, but after the sister is punished, if we don't do anything to remedy it, then our mother and daughter will no longer have face in the inner courtyard of this deep house in the future, and I am afraid that they will fall into the name of being coquettish and willful and uneducated. I can still rely on my husband's family to marry in the future, but my aunt has to rely on my father's favor to get around here, and Meng'er can't help but plan for my aunt's future."
Surprised by Rumeng's words, the fourth aunt forgot to cry, and the hand pulling the handkerchief stiffened on her chest.
The person in front of her is the daughter she gave birth to after three years of humiliation, and she always owes a debt to Rumeng, and she was born to be unable to raise her, which once made the fourth aunt desperate. Seeing her grow from a soft and glutinous cute doll to a slim girl, her heart was full of pride.
"Meng'er, you were born beautiful and elegant, and you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you are by no means inferior to the smoke of the long house, you don't have to grovel to others, you act like this, this is to hold your aunt's heart on the knife and pierce it."
After that, the fourth aunt cried again. Rumeng persuaded her again, and finally promised that after a month, not only would she not be looked down upon, but she would also be favored by her grandmother. Only then did she give up, and Cui'e carried her back to the backyard.
Like a dream, the garden is lazy in the afternoon, and when the flowers are in full bloom, it is the most enjoyable. The clusters of screens are so lively that people can't help but think that this outside the court should also be crowded when the flowers are scorching.
