Chapter 31: Tears in Dreams

When Gu Chao arrived at the Song Mansion, it was almost noon, and when he stepped in, he saw Brother Jin serving food to Song Jinyao, so he followed Brother Jin to the courtyard, and Brother Jin saw her and saluted with a smile.

"You're finally here, our young lady has asked several times, and I'm looking forward to it."

"Really?"

When Gu Chao entered, Song Jinyao was sitting at the table in her room, which was full of delicate snacks and food. It's just that the weight of each plate is very small, and after seeing Gu Chao, Song Jinyao woke up from his daze.

"You said you were going to bother me yesterday, why are you so late?"

"Miss, you're still looking forward to me coming, don't you like me to ask questions?"

Song Jinyao pretended to be angry, picked up chopsticks and put a small cake into his mouth:

"Who is looking forward to you, but just asking, who cares if you come or not."

Gu Chao didn't care, after Brother Jin put all the food out, he sat down opposite Song Jinyao and looked at the plate of exquisite dim sum on the table.

Look at the milky milk cakes, the sweet pine sugar, the fresh and moist pearl quicksand balls, and the crystal clear fruit wine in the sparkling wine cup.

She was surprised in her heart, it turned out that a big family was so exquisite, and an ordinary lunch was so rich?

"You eat these sweet ones at noon, won't you get tired? And each plate of these things is a little smaller, and it doesn't look like a serious meal. ”

Song Jinyao's cheeks were slightly bulging, and he said while chewing:

"I can't eat anything heavy in oil and salt, and I get little red acne on my face when I eat it, and my father doesn't let me eat too many staple foods, so I have to make things more delicate and make a few more tricks."

"Your family is a big family in Qingcheng, won't your father give you food?"

"How can you say that you won't give me food, but if you want me to eat less, I'll get fat."

Gu Chao saw that the milk cake was soft and rustling, and picked up a piece with his hand, it did melt in his mouth, his lips and teeth were fragrant, and the thick pure milk flavor jumped on the tip of his tongue.

"It's also strange, eat, go out for a walk, and exercise."

Hearing this, Song Jinyao sighed slightly, and her eyes became dull.

"Do you know that if it weren't for the important New Year's Festival, I wouldn't even be able to go out of this Song Mansion, so I could only relieve my boredom in my own garden."

Gu Chao suspected that he had misheard, an eldest lady shouldn't be loved by thousands of people, how could it be that she couldn't eat enough, and her movements were restricted. Spending almost all year round in her own room, she couldn't imagine such a life.

No wonder I heard in Guanxi a few days ago that very few people have seen Song Jinyao. Then, how did a person who doesn't go out get infected with the epidemic, why did he suddenly recover, and dared to go out and be scratched on the face when everyone was on the cusp of criticism?

Although she had thousands of questions in her heart, she really couldn't ask now, for fear that Song Jinyao would resist her.

"And what do you do on a daily basis? I see that your father is very busy, so you rely on Brother Jin to accompany you? Where's your mother? Why did I come here a few times, but I didn't see Mrs. Song. ”

"Mother? I don't have a mother, and the people in the house say that my mother is shameless, and my father said that he is a slut and is not allowed to mention her in the house. ”

Gu Chao sighed in his heart, today's Miss Song is really frightened by every word. She looked at Song Jinyao suspiciously, she really didn't know how to continue this topic, and where to start.

Or Song Jinyao opened his mouth:

"Daddy said she's a slut, but what's wrong with her! My mother just doesn't want to be a dusty candle in the corner anymore, she doesn't want to pay silently without return, and she doesn't want to be old in the future. ”

Such a delicate and timid young lady still has such an idea, it turns out that this Mrs. Song is actually .......

"But no one else can tolerate this!"

Gu Chao pondered and squeezed out a sentence, wanting to see what she said next.

Song Jinyao got up, opened the door and asked Brother Jin to collect all the snacks on the table, so as to support Brother Jin.

"If my father had known that I had told anyone else about it, he would not have eaten my good fruit. Don't tell me about it. ”

"Oh? Thanks to the trust of the young lady, the young lady is willing to confide in me, and I will naturally keep it a secret. ”

Song Jinyao looked out the window again, and after making sure that there was no one outside the door, she took out a wooden box from the small hidden compartment of the dresser. After opening it, carefully lay it out on the table one by one.

"These jadeite heads, golden phoenix hairpin rings, are my mother's jewelry in the past, the plain silver hairpin here, the bracelet carved with small flowers on the wood, and this pair of pearl earrings, which are my previous personal girl, Xiao Weng's."

Thinking that Song Jinyao had just broken up Brother Jin and had to hide things in her room, it could be seen that she didn't tell Brother Jin such a secret.

"Why is your mother's jewelry put together with your girl's jewelry?"

"There are two of them, one is the person closest to me, and the other is the person who accompanies me the most and is like a sister."

Song Jinyao picked up the pearl earrings, rubbed them lightly in his hand, and talked about the dusty past.

Xiao Weng was originally called Weng Yao, the son of the family in the house, and also his personal maid, but because he was only one year older than him and grew up with him, he was like a sister to himself.

When my mother was still looking forward to her father being at home with peace of mind, and she was still thinking about her husband wholeheartedly, and when she didn't have time to take care of herself, she was all accompanied by Xiaoweng. Dad has been busy with business outside, and he always enjoys everything his mother does for him with peace of mind, but he never wants to spend any effort on his mother, and he doesn't even respect each other.

The mother was married to a large family, but she believed in the three obedience and four virtues at a very young age, and supported the family. Even if there is a few complaints, they are just occasional words to themselves.

But the mother's years of dedication have been exchanged for the news that her father wants to take a concubine. The little concubine entered the house with a big belly, relying on her pregnancy and her mother only gave birth to a daughter, arrogant, kicking her nose and face, and being domineering in the house.

My mother finally put her mind on herself, but as a result, she began to dictate everything about herself.

In the end, the concubine gave birth to a boy and was raised as a side lady, and the mother was finally completely disheartened, and she began to hide in the room all day, ignoring no one.

Weng Yao's father and mother are the old people in the house, and they married with their mother, and their grandfather had a life-saving grace for Steward Weng, although the mother targeted Weng Yao because of the concubine, but the mother was the benefactor of the couple after all, and the housekeeper Weng drugged the concubine's food, and the concubine was demented and looked like a madwoman. Steward Weng and his wife were tied up and taken away, and they still don't know whether they are dead or alive.

As for Weng Yao, his father began to deliberately target him.

He said that Weng Yao took himself to play all day long, and he didn't learn well, he said, Weng Yao didn't know the status of his slave, and he fought with his master all day long, he said, Weng Yao's name and the master conflicted, and it must be changed.

In the end, Weng Yao was sold to the cheap slave market because of a small mistake.

And he can't save Weng Yao, and he can't keep his mother. Mother and a rice merchant who once visited the door eyebrows, and finally...

"Your mother is gone with him?"

"Yes, my mother ran away with that man. When I was a child, I hoped that she would love me, but she only cared about how to win her father's love, and when she finally knew that she still had my daughter, I enjoyed a little bit of maternal love, and she met that man. This was a great shame for my father and he vowed never to do rice again. But my mother had nothing to worry about, and one day, she took the family's belongings, swaggered away. ”
