Chapter 3 The Return of the Crane in Orange Island
Thirty years ago, she was not Mrs. Liu, she was not the head of the Liu Mansion, she was the only daughter of the Gong family - Gong He!
She didn't even know how she had made her way to the antechamber through the threshold of the aisle. But when her eyes saw the old man sitting in the Taishi chair, her nose suddenly became sore. How many years, just because of the long distance in Orange Island, she has not been back to her parents' house for many years, and her mother died the year before last, and her father turned white overnight, I don't know how he survived.
Thinking of this, Gong He looked at his mother behind his father, and tears flowed down his eyes, which startled Mrs. Gong: "Look at you, what are you doing with that stinky face?" Is it used to scare my daughter? ”
Immediately, Mrs. Gong hurriedly stepped forward and escorted her daughter into her arms: "He'er, okay, don't cry." Your dad is just putting on a show, and it's good that you know it's wrong. ”
The old man Gong also hurts his daughter, and when he saw his daughter crying, he panicked, but he felt a little embarrassed, so he had to pretend to be angry: "Tell me where you went today?" Why did you come back so late! ”
Gong He couldn't stop sobbing, and Mrs. Gong was even more distressed: "Obedient, don't cry, tell your father that you know it's wrong." If you're hungry or not, the osmanthus cake made by the cook will be placed in your house, go back and eat two bites. Later, my mother will bring you something to eat. ”
"Dad, mother, He'er is wrong, He'er is no longer playful. I'm sorry, Dad, Mother, He'er won't let you worry anymore. "How many years have I not sobbed in my mother's arms like this, and how many years have I not said the name "Crane"? Although she didn't know the situation, she sincerely thanked God for giving her this opportunity.
She is still the daughter of the palace family, with a mother and a father, living in Orange Island, far away from the capital, and living an unrestrained life.
was sent back to the room by his mother, and a small plate of osmanthus cake was placed on the table, exuding an attractive aroma. She gently twisted a piece and put it in her mouth, yes, it was the taste, the only taste that her own small kitchen could make. She has found several restaurants in the capital, but she has never tasted such osmanthus cake again, which melts in the mouth and has a long floral fragrance.
Her mother brought her a few simple things to eat, and she ate so much that Mrs. Gong accused her of not having a good look, and secretly felt sorry for her daughter, who was hungry. As everyone knows, since she got married, she has never eaten as much as she does today, because she is the head of the house, and she must be virtuous and virtuous, no matter how much Master Liu loves her, she can't do anything rude.
Soybean pig's feet soup, soybeans stewed crispy, pig's feet are crushed with chopsticks, and the milky white soup exudes a fragrance; Sweet and sour carp, the carp should be caught today, the meat is tender, sweet and sour, and delicious, which makes people's appetite move; Wine-stuffed balls, put her favorite osmanthus candy, the balls are snow-white and soft, decorated with wolfberries, with a hint of wine, she is a little drunk.
Mrs. Gong watched her finish eating a table of dishes, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth for her, and told her to go to bed early, so she left with the food box, leaving Gong He's red eyes.
I really wanted to live like this for the rest of my life, and this thought suddenly came to me. She almost forgot that she was already the mother of a child.
Late at night, Gong He lay on the familiar small bed in his room, and smelled the familiar woody aroma on the tip of his nose. She got up and looked around, and saw a small incense burner in front of the dresser.
"Xu was prepared by my mother." Touched by her mother's intimacy again, she got into the quilt to feel the long-lost peace of mind.
Gong He only felt that he had only slept for a while, and was gently slapped awake by a pair of hands: "He'er, get up." ”
She rubbed her eyes, and subconsciously wanted to call Chun Tao, but the words that came to her mouth stopped abruptly after seeing her mother: "Mother." She remembered that she had returned to her hometown for some reason, back to thirty years ago, she was no longer Mrs. Liu, and she did not have a spring peach.
"It's time to get up, your father is at home today, if he finds you lying in bed again, you will feel better." Madame Gong lovingly rubbed her daughter's somewhat messy hair.
"Mother, I know, get up now." But I have a mother.
"He'er is a lot more sensible, and he used to call several times before he was willing to get up...... Tsefu, come and help the young lady change her clothes. Mrs. Gong got up: "By the way, your eldest brother is also home today, let's have breakfast together in the hall as a family, you haven't seen Jun'er for a long time, haven't you?" ”
Eldest brother...... Since his mother passed away, he has never seen his eldest brother again. Without staying in his thoughts for too long, Gong He spoke: "Wow! Really, I miss big brother so much! Mother, let the eldest brother wait first, I'll be there in a while! ”
"Okay, okay." Madame Gong left with a smile, and Chang Caifu came in to help the young lady freshen up.
"Miss, what dress are you going to wear today?" Caifu asked as she combed her hair with jasmine water.
Gong He somehow remembered the woman in Mengjiang Tower: "Do I have light purple clothes?" "She hadn't worn purple for a long time, because purple not only made people look yellow, but it also made people look old-fashioned, but she loved purple very much. Now that she's back as a girl, she finally has the confidence to wear the purple she hasn't tried in a long time.
"Yes, I'll get it for you." Cai Fu simply combed a half-moon bun for her, inserted a carved tassel silver hairpin, with a hibiscus pigmented silk satin robe, and a feather-colored woven eight-panel skirt on the lower body, dignified and without losing aura, with a hint of girlish playfulness.
Gong He looked at the youthful face in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help but raise his hand to caress this face. It turns out that you can be so beautiful without powder.
Hurried to the front hall, parents and eldest brother had already arrived.
"Little Crane came so late, didn't he dress up for the eldest brother?" When the eldest brother of the palace family saw her coming, he said a little jokingly, but there was a touch of tenderness in his eyes.
"Big brother don't want to make fun of me," she blushed, "Could it be that big brother has been away for so long, and he never thought about He'er?" ”
"The land of Shangjing, with outstanding people, is a good place to broaden your horizons." Gong Jun pretended to be mysterious.
"I'm afraid that I met a beautiful girl, and I didn't even care about my sister." Gong He feigned anger and turned his head away from him.
Gong Jun coughed lightly in embarrassment: "What nonsense, I went to the capital to deal with official business." ”
Gong He knew that his future sister-in-law was from Shangjing, and his future husband was introduced by his sister-in-law...... Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little dazed.
Master Gong interrupted his brother and sister: "Okay, Jun'er, what are you choking with your sister?" The crane has not yet eaten breakfast, so he will eat his full meal first, and then go to catch up with your brother. ”
"Father, what you said is obviously biased in favor of this girl, and her morale will destroy my prestige!" Gong Jun's face was full of anger, and he looked like he was itching with angry teeth, and Gong He, who was watching it, laughed secretly.
Mrs. Gong hurriedly relieved the siege: "Okay, okay, the food is going to be cold, so let's say a few words." If you really have so much to say, Jun'er, when you finish eating, you can take your sister to the street to enhance your relationship. ”
Gong He smiled and blossomed, and the family finished breakfast in the excitement.
