Chapter 8 Confusion
Lianqing's walking posture is extremely beautiful, and when she swings slightly, the pleated skirt on her body will float gently, like a fluttering butterfly, but Fu Duoduo pays attention to not only these, but also the familiar skirt corners.
Although she only caught a glimpse of it at the time, the pink butterfly embroidered at the end of the skirt made her remember it very much, and she couldn't erase it even if she wanted to. Couldn't help it, Fu Duoduo sighed deeply, and a rich sorrow filled his body.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you? But what's wrong with you? Seeing Fu Duoduo's unhappy face, Bi Tao frowned and stroked her forehead from time to time, thinking that she was sick again, she put her hand on her forehead to probe the temperature, and immediately a slightly hot air flow penetrated into her texture.
Bi Tao was startled, and hurriedly called Bi Lian, who was sending Lian Qing back, and said, "Bi Lian, come here!" Why do I think my aunt's body is so hot, you come and investigate. ”
Hearing this, Bi Lian stepped forward to probe, and it was really as Bi Tao said, the temperature was really high.
"Sister, how is this good?" After all, Bi Tao is careless, even if she has a heart, when she encounters an emergency, she is panicked for a while. One time he said that he would return to the eldest wife, and then he said no, and wanted to run to ask the doctor to come over for treatment, but he couldn't take a step.
Seeing this, Bi Tao hurriedly comforted her and said, "Bi Lian, don't panic! Go get a basin of cold water and a cloth towel, and let your aunt cool down first. ”
"Whoa." Bilian hurriedly stepped back and prepared.
"Auntie, the slave maid helped you to the bed to rest, okay?" Bi Tao picked up the groggy Fu Duoduo and walked towards the shelf bed, but her backhand was grabbed by her.
Bi Tao was confused and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong?" ”
Fu Duoduo shook his aching head and said hoarsely: "Bi Tao, I'm so tired, really tired." I have lived hard enough in my previous life, and I just want to live a simple life in this life, but why does God always play tricks on me, why do you say this? Is it true that the more pitiful I am, the happier he will be, don't you say? ”
At this time, Fu Duoduo was very irritable, and just wanted to find someone to talk to and talk to about his depression, and Bi Tao in front of him was a good candidate, so he couldn't help but pour out all kinds of things buried deep in his heart to her.
"Auntie, you are talking nonsense, what did you say in your previous life, your good days are coming. Come, lie down for a while, and when you wake up, you'll be in for a while. Bi Tao didn't care, she just thought that Fu Duoduo was sick and confused, and said something stupid.
"Wonderful? What I didn't experience in my previous life, I won't have in this life, I'm afraid that when I wake up, it will be a bloody scene. Look at these high-ranking wives, young masters and aunts, each of them came to this small courtyard, and on the surface they said that they came to visit the sick with good intentions, but maybe they were secretly manipulating something behind their backs, but the only thing that is certain is that I am now their pawn, just a pawn! Fuduoduo couldn't help but shout at the end of the road.
"Grandma!" Bi Tao was surprised, and hurriedly stopped Fu Duoduo's nonsense, and looked left and right with confidence, and then said: "Auntie, you think too much, how can things be as complicated as you think, maybe...... Perhaps......" Bi Tao wanted to open her mouth to comfort Fu Duoduo, but she couldn't speak.
"Bi Tao, you don't need to be comforted, I know your kindness. I think you went to investigate this afternoon, and you know more or less their intentions, you don't need to say that I also guessed, probably the pregnant new aunt entered the door, which made those people uneasy, so they want to use me as a target, right? ”
Bi Tao was speechless, judging from the news she inquired, it did have such a meaning, but it was not all there. But just when she wanted to open her mouth to talk to Fu Duoduo, Bi Lian walked in with a wooden basin at this time, so she could only change her words and say: "Auntie, don't you think about it too much, don't you often say that the boat is naturally straight to the bridge?" Everything will be fine. ”
This time, Fu Duoduo didn't say much, and lay down according to Bi Tao's wishes. After pouring out just now, she felt a lot better, and the melancholy between her eyebrows faded a lot, revealing a hint of a smile, and said: "Bi Tao, fortunately with you, I am lucky to have you by my side." I hope you can accompany me for the rest of my life, but I know it's impossible. ”
Bi Tao was stunned, almost causing the cloth towel handed over by Bi Lian to fall to the ground, but she still asked quietly, "Auntie, do you know?" ”
"Know what? Do you know that you will marry someday? I'm so jealous of your husband, I can grow old with you. Fu Duoduo squinted slightly, and because of the high fever, he didn't notice Bi Tao's abnormality, but said to himself: "Bi Tao, if you don't meet a man who is good to you when you grow up, then don't marry, just be with me, okay?" ”
"Auntie, what about the slave maid, the slave maid Bilian?" Seeing that Fu Duoduo was so unusual to Bi Tao, Bi Lian couldn't help but ask.
Fu Duoduo opened his eyes, raised his eyes to look at Bilian's shining light, and said, "You, you should marry when you grow up, so as to save me a headache from chattering." ”
Bi Lian pursed her lips and said, "Auntie, you are really eccentric. ”
Fuduodo smiled silently, closing her eyes and letting the darkness invade her.
Bi Tao was afraid that Bi Lian would be too distracted, seeing that Fu Duoduo was asleep and the fire was under control, thinking that Bi Lian would get along with Fu Duoduo for a long time in the future, so she pulled her outside the house and comforted her softly: "Bi Lian, I have been serving my aunt and grandmother for a long time, and my grandmother will be so worried about me." I think that according to your lively nature, after getting along with my aunt and grandmother for a while, you will be better behaved than my grandmother, you ......"
Bi Lian waved her hand indifferently and said, "You don't have to explain too much, I won't taste it." After all, you can't serve your aunt and grandmother in the future, what do I have to be angry about. ”
Bi Tao pulled her face and smiled bitterly, and said, "Yes, I'm going to part with my aunt and grandmother after tonight." In the future, you must serve your aunt and grandmother carefully, and you can't be sloppy. Unfinished, he also spared no effort to explain to her some details of Fu Duoduo's life.
By the time Bi Tao said that it was almost complete, it was already dark.
Although Bi Tao still felt that there was still a basket of things to be explained, it was already time to get the food box in the kitchen, so she could only give up, thinking that she would talk to Bi Lian when she had time in the evening.
Bi Lian, who was standing outside the house and blowing the wind, had long been impatient with listening to Bi Tao's chatter, but because she was still on an errand in front of Fu Duoduo, she could only enter with one ear and listen with one ear, but her mind had already been empty, and she didn't leave a word in her heart. I heard that Bi Tao said that she was going to the kitchen to get tonight's food, so she hurriedly asked for it automatically, and ran away as soon as she slipped away.
Looking at Bi Lian's distant back, Bi Tao shook her head helplessly, said 'child's heart' and went back to the house.
When she came to the bed, Bi Tao saw that Fu Duoduo was sleeping with a red face, and she checked the temperature again uncomfortably, and made sure that the fever had subsided, so she sighed leisurely, sat on the foot of the bed, and looked at her sleeping face in a daze.
This afternoon, she not only inquired about the things that Laifu Duoduo confessed, but also ushered in her future direction, and saw her mother, who usually did not visit her unless she entered the house and asked her for monthly money.
Thinking of the scene at that time, she was as bitter as eating a yellow lotus.
"Daughter, you've been tired all these years." As soon as Bi Tao's mother Knowles saw her, she immediately stepped forward with moist eyes and hugged her shoulders, looking like an affectionate mother and daughter.
Bi Tao knew her mother's temperament very well, and knew that she did not come here just to visit, but also because of the lack of money at home.
Thinking of the change in the direction of the wind in the house that had just been detected from the mouth of the errand sisters, and the matter that Fu Duoduo was going to be reused, Bi Tao was in a dilemma, after all, after that, the aunt and grandmother were really like what they said, so there were still a lot of places to use silver taels in the future, and there was a little bit of up and down, but the monthly silver of the aunt was only one or two, plus the bad of those tricky tents, every time I went to receive less than one or two, not to mention that in order to make my aunt and grandmother live a better life on weekdays, I had to honor the slaves with status.
In this way, not only did the aunt not save silver every month, but sometimes Bi Tao would secretly make up for it.
Thinking of this, Bi Tao gently pushed away from Knowles and said apologetically: "Mother, is there not enough money in the family to chew?" My daughter hasn't received her monthly money this month, so why don't you come back another day? ”
Knowles's face was gloomy, but soon his expression was a little gloomy, and he said angrily: "Mother came today, not to reach out to you to take the money, but to take you out of the house to enjoy happiness." ”
"Blessed? What's the blessing? In an instant, Bi Tao's face turned white in an instant, and her heart beat like a drum, and she had a premonition that what Knowles said next was not what she wanted to hear.
Speaking of this, Knowles's eyebrows and eyes opened with a smile, and said: "Of course it is a great blessing, your distant aunt's son wants to marry you, and he also gave our family ten taels of silver as a dowry." Ten taels of silver, this is higher than the value of our girls in ten miles and eight villages, give you more face! The wedding date is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, you go to pack your bags, especially in terms of money, don't leave it behind, this is what you have worked hard to earn in Yufu, and you can't cheapen others. With that, Knowles was about to pull Bi Tao away.
Bi Tao shook off Knowles and said, "Mother, how can you decide on this family affair without my consent?" What's more, I have already signed a death contract with Yu Fu, so it is impossible for me to go with you. At this time, Bi Tao's heart was cold to the bone, and she didn't expect that her mother would sell her to a stupid man for a mere ten taels of silver, and she didn't care about breaking the contract with Yufu.
It's just that the mother who regards money as her life, will she lose the remaining twenty taels for ten taels of silver? Bi Tao was very skeptical.
Sure enough, I heard Knowles explain: "Don't worry, I have already agreed with the eldest lady before, let Bilian replace you, and the eldest lady also agreed, you can rest assured." This account, my mother can be counted really, and she will definitely not lose her own. ”
Bi Tao was very weak, but she didn't expect the eldest lady to agree.
After thinking about it, Bi Tao thought of Fu Duoduo, but she also thought that Fu Duoduo was difficult to protect herself, and it was a good opportunity for her to rise to the top, she must not add annoyance to her at this time, so that the eldest lady had an estrangement from her.
After thinking about it, Bi Tao only has a way out of the word 'resignation'.
