Chapter 2: Seeing Relatives Again
Master Li wanted to twist the handkerchief to wipe his daughter's face, but his daughter held his arm and refused to let go, so he had to let Suyu twist the handkerchief to him, and then carefully wipe her face.
Li Han's red eyes were not noisy or noisy, but a pair of eyes stared at his father tightly for a moment, and he wiped his face with a sobbing sound from time to time.
Master Li was worried and heartbroken when he saw his daughter like this, and asked Suyu, "What happened just now?" Why did the young lady cry like this? ”
"Back to the master's words," Su Yu tried to think about it for a while and shook her head blankly: "Nothing special happened today, it was fine until Miss went to bed, and since Miss woke up, she began to cry so much that she couldn't stop crying." ”
Master Li frowned and thought about it, Su Yu was raised by him since he was a child, and what he said would not be false.
Since nothing happened before going to bed, could it be that her daughter had a nightmare, and it was about herself and her son, so that her daughter would refuse to let go as if he would disappear as soon as she let go?
The more Master Li thought about it, the more he looked like it, so he gently patted his daughter's back and comforted: "Han'er is not afraid, is it a nightmare?" Daddy is not afraid here. ”
"Daddy, when will my brother come back?" Li Han asked, she just couldn't feel relieved if she didn't see her brother.
"My brother came back soon, Han'er didn't cry obediently, and my father asked people to find him."
Master Li looked anxiously at the direction of the door, where did this stinky boy go, why hasn't he come back yet?
"The eldest young master is back?" Su Yu kept looking at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw that Li Yuyang finally appeared, she hurriedly ran to the gate of the courtyard to take his cloak and lead him into the room.
"Miss woke up and cried for a long time today, saying that she was looking for the young master."
Su Yu felt a little helpless, the young master loved Miss very much, but he often secretly went to play with his brothers some things that girls should not participate in, since it was not suitable to participate, he must have to hide from his sister and sneak out alone.
"My sister is crying? Who is so bold as to make my precious sister cry? ”
"You stinky boy, who else but you dare to make your sister cry?" Master Li let go of his daughter and yelled, and when he came over, he pulled his ears, which made Li Yuyang scream and beg for mercy.
"Dad, Dad, you let go first, we can talk about something slowly, it doesn't matter if it hurts me, but if I make my father angry, then I won't die of sadness?"
"You stinky boy, just hope that I have three long and two short, no one cares about you, so I can go out and fool around, right?"
Master Li scolded his son, and let go of the hand that was grabbing his ear and was about to hit him, but in the end he turned into a pretending to stroke a strand of hair on his forehead that didn't exist and put it down: "Why don't you come over and see my sister, how long has she been crying when she looked for you today."
"Dad, I'll just go out to play for a while, and I'll be with my sister in the morning."
Li Yuyang defended himself in a low voice while squatting down in front of Li Han and asking his sister: "Han'er, is someone bullying you?" Tell my brother quickly, and my brother will go to him to settle accounts. ”
Li Han smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay now, brother, Han'er just misses you, don't cry now, I want to eat."
She saw her brother appear in front of her vividly, and finally believed that those terrible things in the past had not happened now, but now they have not happened, so what about the future?
Her heart tugged together again.
Suddenly, I miss the food at home, those familiar tastes have not been eaten for more than ten years, at that time, I can sometimes eat once or twice in my dreams, but every time I wake up from a dream, all that is left is sadness.
As soon as Li Han's words were finished, the father and son both breathed a sigh of relief, glared at each other and stopped arguing, and one took her by the hand and led her towards the dining room.
Li Han, who was led by one left and one right, couldn't help but smile with tears, after experiencing that nightmarish life, she returned to the kind of days when she loved her brother and father, what could be more precious and joyful than this kind of lost and regained?
If it was just a dream, she would rather live in it forever than wake up.
Early the next morning, Li Han was still playing hide and seek with Zhou Gong and his son, and was woken up by a noise.
"Su Yu, what's so noisy?"
Sleepy-eyed, she didn't even bother to probe her body, turned over and buried her face in the quilt.
Su Yu walked in and replied while packing up the things in the room, "Miss, woke you up?" It was Miss Cousin who came, saying that her aunt was going to study outside for a while, so she sent Miss Cousin to our house, and she would be picked up in a few months. ”
"My uncle? They can't eat at home and still go on a study tour? Is...... It's better to learn how to set up a stall and start a small business. ”
Li Han pursed her lips and said, she has heard of this uncle's house, and her aunt left her uncle and cousin due to illness very early, but this uncle is a person who can only read dead books, and if he can't read well, he can't even get a show of talent, not to mention that he can't open the pot at home, but he wants to save face.
Dad said a few times to let him come over to help and learn to do some business, but he refused, so he didn't bother to care about him anymore.
"But no, is it possible that you are so poor that you have face?"
Su Yu said that she couldn't understand what these people were thinking.
Li Han didn't listen to Su Yu's words, because she remembered the past, this cousin Jiang Tong didn't know when she hooked up with Lu Zhenghua, when she married into the Lu family for the third month, Lu Zhenghua carried her into the door as a concubine, and always said that she was kind by nature, gentle and considerate to him, and filial to her in-laws.
And she, at that time, was already yellow and thin, and she could only lie in bed all day.
Jiang Tong's skin is very good, her balm is more than a hundred taels of silver a jar of jade balm bought in Furong Hall, saying that only the fragrance of this jade balm is the most fresh and refined, and the most expensive balm used by Li Han is only a few dozen taels of silver a jar, which is already very good in her opinion.
The ginseng that Jiang Tong uses to make soup must also be used for more than 100 years, saying that it is necessary to use such a year, so that the sludge and vulgar dust can be removed, and the sludge will not be stained.
Lu Zhenghua believed in her words, and in his heart, he always felt that she was a fairy-like person, tall and refined.
Li Han brought a lot of dowry when she got married, but it was spent in less than a year after Jiang Tong entered the door, and later every time Jiang Tong had no money to buy something, Lu Zhenghua would come to her and ask her to write a letter to her father asking for silver.
When he didn't want money, he never came to see her, and even if he had anything to ask, he just let the little girl pass it back and forth.
And every time my father received a letter, he would heartache to give a large number of hundreds of taels of silver and the letter he wrote, so that the people who brought the letter would bring it back, which could be used by ordinary wealthy families for a few months, but they quickly let them spend it, and then asked her to write a letter to ask for it, and so on and so on until after the death of my father, all the property of the Li family was merged into the Lu family.
Li Han remembered that the last time, the day after his cousin came, someone sent a few carts of jade, telling his father that she was destined to be a noble person in her life, and if she used this jade to build a bath and let her bathe every day, it would have the effect of strengthening muscles and bones and beautifying the skin.
Daddy believed the man's words at the time, and the day after receiving the jade, he found someone to start building a bath in her yard, and later she also found that the water in this bath was indeed quite good.
At that time, Jiang Tong was still very envious and said that he wanted to take a dip, but Li Han refused because he didn't like to share a bath with others.
But this time she changed her mind, and if Jiang Tong asked again, she would not refuse to share the bath with her again.
"Miss, miss, are you going to get up? Or do you want to lie down again? ”
Su Yu looked at Li Yu, who was stunned again, and was very worried, she smoothed out her black and shiny hair for Li Han, and then put it aside where she couldn't press it.
"I don't want to get up...... Anyway, I can't sleep anyway, so let's go see my cousin. ”
Li Han turned over as he spoke, spreading his limbs and lying on his back looking at the top of the tent.
Su Yu came over to help her, then looked outside and ordered, "Miss is getting up, come in and wait for Miss to wash." ”
After hearing Su Yu's words, Ziyun and Qinghe, the two girls who had been waiting outside all morning, came in with water and other things that needed to be used.
Su Yu took the things and waited for Li Han to freshen up, and after changing her into a dress that she wore at home, she asked, "Miss want to use breakfast now?" ”
Li Han looked at these girls waiting for him, and couldn't help but think of the fact that not long after her father died, Jiang Tong reduced the number of girls in her room from three to one on the grounds of reducing expenses.
After that, every morning she got up, a little girl brought the washing water in and put it down and went out, and then she was forced to clean up by herself.
At that time, the five girls she married from her mother's house, Suyu, Ziyun, Yunwu, Xinlan and Qinghe, had all died of illness, drowned, and one said that she had stolen the silver in the house and was sold by Jiang Tong.
