Chapter 144: Once upon a time
Weizhou June and July, comparable to the spring of March.
Such a place where the four seasons are like spring, it can also be called a beautiful scenery. However, if you don't want to watch it, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it still can't attract people's hearts.
For Wen Ru, Weizhou is such a place.
At that time, her brother spent most of the day in the study, and in addition to reviewing his homework, he would also set aside some time to take care of Ah Yu's mood, but as the difficulty of his homework deepened, the free time he could spare was also reduced little by little.
The huge courtyard suddenly became empty.
With no one around to talk to, Wen Ru indulged in the disappointment that spread, she never understood her father's thoughts, only the fact in front of her was that she had been sent out of Kyoto to a completely unfamiliar place, and the only relatives she knew around her paid less and less attention to her, and she didn't even notice that she hadn't shown her face for a long time.
The grievances overshadowed everything, but no one noticed it.
In the past, when she was in Kyoto, if Wen Ru had suffered grievances, she must have to tell her father and brother to listen, usually as long as she opened her mouth, whether it was her father or brother, there would always be someone to coax her, so that she would not be immersed in all kinds of grievances all the time.
Now that he has changed places, his father and mother are not around, and his brother has a lot of homework to do every day, but even so, he will still find time to care for her.
Although his concern was only a few words, when he heard her say that she was okay, he really regarded everything as if everything was okay.
Most of his mind was on his schoolwork, and only a small part was left to her, and the remaining part was not enough for him to read what was in her mind at a glance.
As the days passed, the grievances accumulated in Wen Rugu's heart had reached its peak.
If she was in a lower mood when no one interfered, she might be able to be noticed by her brother, and someone would comfort her and cry bitterly, and the depression in her heart would be gone. Even if her brother didn't find out, she could also learn what it meant to deceive herself, and after she told her father and mother over and over again that she didn't know about it, she read it day and night, and told the lie thousands of times, so that people could take it seriously.
However, these are just assumptions.
The real fact is that an outsider came to Wen Rugu's face, told her with pity, that she had indeed suffered great grievances, and put on a deferential appearance, so that she could tell her grievances to her heart's content, and guaranteed that all the words she said would never be passed on again after entering his ears.
When a person is wronged, patience will pass.
If someone next to you is willing to take over the conversation, then the situation will be very different.
Especially when Wen Rugu thought that she had been ignored by all the people around her, someone suddenly appeared by her side and told her that he understood all her grievances, and said that no matter what others would do, he would definitely be by her side, and would not ignore her like others, and he would always be the best for her.
And this person also has a baby relationship with her!
In the face of such a situation, how can you not give him all your blood?
Just like a person who falls off a cliff, he narrowly grabs the trees that grow out of the cliff, and what is hidden behind the trees is the path to new life, so it should be the norm to give all your trust!
Ah Yu can still remember Duan Yuzhi's appearance at that time, bathed in the scorching sun of July, in her eyes, it seems that he is exuding warm light all the time, just getting closer, can make people happy.
She didn't know when Duan Yuzhi appeared in Weizhou, but she remembered that when he appeared in front of Wen Rugu, it should have been late July, and not long after he appeared, Wen Huan took Wen Ruzhi back to Kyoto.
In fact, when Ah Yu thinks about it now, he always feels that the timing of Duan Yuzhi's appearance is very strange.
Not counting the people of the Wen family, then there are no relatives and friends of the Duan family in Weizhou, but Duan Yuzhi appeared in front of Wen Rugu all the way, listening to her complaints, no matter how you think about it, I still feel very strange.
Speaking of which, he seems to have done something else.
But Ah Yu doesn't remember very clearly.
Since her body gradually improved, those memories about Wen Rugu seemed to be covered with a light veil, and it seemed to be seeing flowers in the fog, hazy, and she could only see a rough idea, and it was very difficult to see it more clearly. Of course, there are some deep memories that have not been affected.
In this memory of Wen Rugu in Weizhou, the only clear thing is Duan Yuzhi's words to comfort her, but the things he asked her to do are vague. If it weren't for the fact that he made the request after comforting Wen Ru, I'm afraid that vague memory would not have attracted Ah Yu's attention.
She could only clearly see Wen Ru's memories in her dreams, and when she woke up from the dream, she could only remember a small part.
Therefore, after lunch that day, Ah Yu has been in a daze, no matter what happened around her, she is half asleep.
Wen Wan watched her pick up the red pepper on the plate, and stuffed it into her mouth without looking, obviously her cheeks on both sides were already red, but the whole person still looked like she was wandering in the world.
She couldn't help but ask Ah Yu: "Don't you think it's spicy?" ”
When someone talks to her, her reaction will be half a beat slower, but she will still be able to respond.
Ah Yu blinked her eyes, slowly looked up at her sister opposite, feeling the residual taste on the tip of her tongue, and her eyes quickly appeared with water: "Woo woo......"
Wen Wan hurriedly moved the custard in front of him to Ah Yu, and said, "Eat the custard first, and go to get rid of the spicy taste in your mouth." ”
The little girl took the spoon and fed herself a spoonful of custard, the bland taste did not overpower the spicy taste on the tip of the tongue, but it was still better than before.
Her appetite was still not very big, and after only two or three spoonfuls of egg custard, she already felt full.
But it still feels like there's a fire burning in my throat, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Ah Yu put down the spoon in her hand and aimed at the bowl of pigeon soup on the table, and when she was about to pick up the soup bowl at hand and serve herself another bowl of soup, she suddenly remembered the thing that Duan Yuzhi asked her to do.
At that time, Duan Yuzhi was worried when he saw Wen Ruzhi, and after hearing her complaints, he invited her to go out to eat in a restaurant in the city.
He said that when a man encounters a sad thing, he has a saying that he is drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, and Ah Yu is a woman, and she is young, she is still a child, and she can't drink alcohol, so she will replace a drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows with a meal to relieve a thousand sorrows.
Duan Yuzhi may have arrived in Weizhou a long time ago!
So he is very familiar with the streets of Weizhou, and he also knows which restaurant in the city has the best food.
Before going out, Duan Yuzhi also told Wen Ruzhi that he came to Weizhou with his distant cousin, and they had already made an appointment to eat together, but now he wanted to invite her to dinner because he was worried about Wen Ruzhi, so he asked her if she could add another person to the dinner table.
He said that with his relationship with Wen Rugu, his relatives are Wen Rugu's relatives, and there is no need to avoid suspicion.
If it were for the current Ah Yuzhi, she would definitely not agree to Duan Yuzhi's request, but Wen Ru agreed.
She couldn't remember what Duan Yuzhi's relative looked like, but vaguely remembered that the person seemed to be surnamed Pei.
"Why are you in a daze again?" Wen Yun stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Ah Yu, but she didn't see the slightest change in her eyes, and then looked down at the half-cold food on the table, sighed, and left and right Ah Yu and she were full, and then asked people to take the food.
Ah Yu finally woke up from the memory, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a lot of change around her, and then looked at it, there was a cup of tea in front of her.
She looked at Wen Wan who was sighing at her in front of her, and asked suspiciously, "Sister?" ”
Wen Wan lit the cup in front of her, paused for a while, and said, "I heard Mama Chang say that you have slept very well these nights, why are you so listless during the day?" Take a sip of tea and wake up! ”
The worry in her eyes cannot be ignored.
Only then did Ah Yu know that his approach to tracing back to his roots was very 'different' in the eyes of others.
It's just that she wants to recall Wen Ru's memory, and now there is only one way to do it, so she has no other choice.
She lowered her head and took a sip of tea silently, she didn't think about how to explain, and simply faced Wen Yun's worries in silence.
The things that the little girl didn't plan to say, no matter how others knocked on the side, were all fruitless in the end.
Wen Wan didn't think there was anything wrong with Ah Yu's personality before, but now when she wanted to ask Ah Yu something, but she couldn't ask anything, she still felt a little depressed in her heart.
She just stayed in Weizhou for a while longer, how did the little girl who was soft and sweet in front of her change her appearance?
Is it because she's finally grown up?
Wen Wan suddenly felt that the little girl would not grow up in her life, and it was very good.
When Ah Yu fell asleep alone at night, she looked at the curtain in front of her, and she didn't know if she had drunk too much tea during the day, and it was already the time when the willows were on the moon, she still couldn't feel the slightest sleep, as if she was really insomnia.
Ah Yan has always disliked people keeping vigil in the house, so she is the only one in the room at the moment.
She lifted the quilt and sat up, and in the moonlight she remembered the events that had happened in Wen Ru's memory.
There are always things that are fixed in the long river of fate.
I don't know if Duan Yuzhi's appearance in Weizhou belongs to the fixed one.
She has broken off her friendship with Duan Yuzhi, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
Obviously, it was because that person had bad intentions from beginning to end, and he would do very hateful things, so she would stop the loss in time, but when she remembered what he looked like before he revealed his true face, she couldn't help but feel guilty in her heart.
A long time ago, before all the changes happened, he was indeed very kind to her.
After a long period of silence, Ah Yu finally brewed a trace of sleep.
Before going to bed, she couldn't help but wonder, if she really saw Duan Yu again in Weizhou, how would she treat that person?
He was the only one who gave Wen Ru an affirmation during that period of grievances.
Although the vows he promised were not fulfilled, the moment he made his promise, he did give her warmth.
With all kinds of entanglements, Ah Yu finally fell asleep.
When she woke up again, she found that the atmosphere in the ancestral house had changed again.
Wen Huan, who was still studying various schoolwork behind the gentlemen a few days ago, suddenly showed a light attitude, and since breakfast, he has been staying in the Linghe Garden in Ayu, and has not gone anywhere else.
Wen Yun, who originally accompanied Ah Yu for three meals a day, disappeared inexplicably.
In the afternoon, Wen Yun, who had lost his trace, finally reappeared in front of Ah Yu. In addition to her, Mrs. Wen, Wen Yu and Wen Yu also came to Linghe Garden. It can be said that the masters of the Wen family's ancestral house are now all gathered in Ayu's Linghe Garden.
Ah Yu looked back at Wen Huan behind him: "Is something happening?" "Otherwise, why would everyone suddenly gather together, obviously except for her, everyone else has their own things to be busy with.
Wen Huan patted the top of her head and said with a smile: "We have been in Weizhou for a while, but Ah Yu has been staying at home and has never gone out. ”
"It just so happens that the homework that the gentlemen have assigned me in the past two days is to write a few poems about the scene, and the poems are not always written without staying in the room and leaving the house. I'm going out to watch the scenery, and the uncle and they have been very free recently, so they decided to go out together after discussion, Ah Yu has been at home for so long, and he hasn't even stepped out of the door, so he should be planning to go out for a walk, right? ”
Writing poetry is true, but the latter words can be pondered.
This has to start with Ah Yu's unruly spirit a few days ago.
In these days in the ancestral house, the one who spent the longest time with Ah Yu was Wen Yun, her own personality was extraordinarily meticulous, and she originally thought that Ah Yu was because of the sudden departure from Kyoto, but for several days, the little girl's mood did not improve, which made her feel very wrong.
In addition, the little girl didn't plan to say what was in her heart, so she could only estimate the reason why the little girl was unhappy and try to find a way to solve it.
The current outing is one of them.
According to Wen Wan's original plan, she just wanted Mrs. Wen to take her and Ah Yu to the temple outside the city to burn incense, and stay on the mountainside to enjoy the landscape flowers.
When she said her proposal, she happened to be just in time for Wen Qi to come and greet Mrs. Wen.
After Wen Yu heard about it, he asked her the reason, and after learning that it was because of Ah Yu, he went to find Wen Huan, one pass two, two pass three, not only Wen Huan, even Wen Yu also knew that they planned to go out to play.
In the end, it inexplicably became a general outing.
Although Wen Wan didn't expect such a trend at first, he was still quite satisfied with the final result.
As for Ah Yu, who was cared about by everyone, after listening to Wen Huan's words, she only thought about it a little and happily agreed.
It's always a good feeling to be cared for, so why say no!
