Chapter 2: Sister Yuyi
Zhu Yuyan was very sad in her heart, she agreed to what her father said in her previous life, and after going to Beijing, because her sister had no children under her knees, in order to keep her status in Jingzhou, she hired her to her brother-in-law as a concubine.
To live again, she never wants to live again, even if she knows that her father's time is short, she refuses to agree to her father's trust. But in her heart, after all, it was painful, kneeling in front of the couch, refusing to leave for a long time, until she listened carefully to her father's breathing, gradually calmed down, and knew that his energy was low and he had fallen asleep, she inevitably thought about it, and felt that her father must be disappointed in her, so she refused to take care of it anymore, and she was still ashamed to say it.
"Girl, it's late at night, and the general is also asleep, so the girl should go back!"
Li Niang was her father's maid, and later her mother came through the door, bringing four flowers and jade companion rooms, because Li Niang first learned the text and ink, so Li Niang was transferred to the study to serve, a red sleeve to add fragrance to the taste. The step-room Pang Zi entered the door and was pregnant with the third daughter Zhu Yuyi, Liniang served her father several times, and she was also pregnant, but when she was in the third month, she ate something by mistake, and she lost a child, and she also injured her body and could not get pregnant again.
Because of the rumors in the house at that time, it was Pang Zi who accidentally ate unclean things, whether it was true or not, Zhu Yuyan thought that Li Niang would definitely be disgusted with Pang Zi because of this matter, but today, she can't think like this anymore.
Li Niang helped her up, she glanced at Li Niang lightly, although she is old, after the period of flower letters, but still delicate skin, picturesque eyebrows, lips like cloves, so that people see pity. Zhu Yuyan patted Liniang's hand holding her arm and said, "Liniang has been serving my father for a long time, right?" Time flies so fast, my mother gave birth to me and left less than three months ago, if she is here, Li Niang still doesn't know what to do today? ”
Li Niang smiled, helped Zhu Yuyan out of the second room, and went outside, there were rows of bookshelves in the huge bright room, and the top was densely packed with the Zhu family's accumulation of several generations, looking at the place where she had stayed for more than ten years, Li Niang's eyes unconsciously showed a trace of reluctance, "When Mrs. gave birth to her aunt and grandmother, she hurt her body, and she was pregnant with the second girl after many years, and she desperately wanted to give birth to the second girl, in order to leave a little incense for the general, Mrs. saw that the girl was a girl again, she was sad, and her body was lost, so she returned in despair." If not, why would the general Re Xiaoli marry his sister as his stepfamily? ”
Zhu Yuyan raised her arm, avoided Liniang's support, turned slightly sideways, looked at the dark night outside, and sighed, "Yes, I almost forgot, my current mother is also my aunt." If I'm not mistaken, Liniang still goes to my aunt every morning to say goodbye, right? Li Niang has always been smart, and she should be able to find a way to reveal something to her, just say, Jingzhou can have today, Da Zhou is willing to marry and form an alliance instead of conquering and subduing, in order to have a think tank and three tigers, and these four people are willing to do their best to assist Jingzhou in order to have a relationship with their father for many years. ”
She turned her head to stare into Li Niang's eyes, "Li Niang should understand the sentence 'There are eggs under the nest'?" No matter what my aunt promised Li Niang, once Xia Kou is broken, Jingzhou is not, and Li Niang will have no life! ”
Li Niang looked at her for a moment, and had to bow her head under this majestic gaze, although it was the cold season of spring, Li Niang had a layer of sweat on her body, "Girl, the slave doesn't understand what the girl is talking about?" ”
Zhu Yuyan retracted his gaze and said in a sneering tone, "It's good if you don't understand." When I was a child, I heard my sister say that my father's illness also occurred once many years ago, and it was my mother who personally served at that time, and although the roots were not broken, they also recovered, only tormenting people, and there was no fear of life. But today, when I see my father's description of the withered and difficult to heal, I can't help but be more careful, so I think more. ”
Although she just thought about it, Li Niang was not at all relaxed, she was drenched in sweat, she just hoped that Zhu Yuyan would leave quickly, and she was also very annoyed in her heart, and she was said without calculation in a few words.
When I came back from the front yard and arrived at the second gate, the aroma of the plum blossom was soaked in cold dew and became more and more fragrant. Zhu Yuyan stopped, and a few people came out behind the shadow wall, Zhu Yuyan looked up, and saw that it was Zhu Yuyi, the sister of her stepmother, who brought her maid and mother-in-law, and was waiting for her here.
Yuyan looked around, a shallow moon reflected the plum tree in the corner of the wall more and more transparently, like the beeswax of the year, shining with a shining jade light, the water is also excellent, a wisp of strange fragrance came to the nose, Yuyan took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "It's so late, why hasn't my sister slept yet?" If I came to see my father, he would have fallen asleep. ”
"I'm here for you!" Zhu Yuyi raised her head and squinted at her jade face, "I didn't go to see my father, I heard that my father wanted to see you and waited for you here, what did my father say to you?" ”
Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled again, she hadn't dealt with her for so many years, she really forgot the characteristics of her sister, and she didn't bother to pay attention to her, so she took a few steps to the side, "I didn't say anything, it's late at night, my sister should rest, I won't accompany you here to enjoy the moon and flowers!" ”
"Who said I was going to see the moon and flowers? If you refuse to tell me, it doesn't matter, let's see my mother, I don't believe it in front of my mother, and you won't say it. ”
"I really didn't say anything, but when I got to my mother, I still said this, could it be that my sister thought I was lying to my sister?"
"Forgive me and don't dare to lie to me, that's good, you say, I don't believe my father's third watch in the middle of the night, he called you over for no reason, and didn't say anything." Zhu Yuyi had a straight face, her arms were folded around her chest, "You don't want to hide it from me, if you don't tell me now, someone will tell me sooner or later, when the time comes, if you want to tell the truth, I won't give you this opportunity." ”
She took a step forward, Zhu Yuyan took a step back, a little panicked, and at this moment, a person rushed over horizontally, rushed to the middle of the two, stopped in front of Zhu Yuyan, and yelled at Zhu Yuyi, "Yuyi, what are you doing?" Do you know that she is your sister, how can you be so rude to your sister? ”
Zhu Yuyi was startled, and when she saw the person clearly, she couldn't believe it, pointed at herself, and then pointed at Zhu Yuyan, "You, you, Cousin Zhixue, are you murdering me?" You protect her, and you actually murder me? ”
Pang Zhixue was originally aggressive, but she was forced to retreat step by step by Zhu Yuyi's tears, almost stepping on Zhu Yuyan, she didn't have time to step back, one arm stretched out diagonally and grabbed her shoulder, and pulled it back, so that she avoided Pang Zhixue.
