Chapter 7: A New Home and a New Identity
Mama Li saw that the old lady was angry, for fear that her body would not be able to bear it, so she hurriedly calmed her breath, "Old lady, you are also angry, this farmer's house is not easy for you to eat, even if they come to kowtow in front of the fifth lady to admit their mistakes, but only one point, the old slave looks at the fifth miss should not understand poetry and books, nor do you understand the rules, this has to be cultivated well." ”
The old lady sighed and said, "I have seen what you said, but fortunately, the girl is not small, and she just replied, and her eyes don't look like a coward, so it's easy to do." ”
Mama Li carefully tucked the old lady's quilt and said, "Now that the fifth lady is back, Mrs. herself won't say anything, and I don't know what will happen to that Aunt Feng in the east." ”
Speaking of Aunt Feng, the old lady snorted coldly and said, "When the white girl was there, she was against her everywhere, and now if she dares to bring the grievances of the previous generation to me Sangyu, then let her try." ”
Mama Li saw that the old lady was like an old hen who was guarding her cubs, so she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, but she didn't dare to say it, so she quickly coaxed the old lady to sleep, and went to the wing room to see Sang Yu, and sent two girls to guard, so she went back to rest with confidence.
Early the next morning, without waiting for the maid to call, Sang Yu woke up, and he hadn't adapted to this new identity in an instant, and he was thinking about chopping wood to feed the chickens.
Looking at the appearance in the bedroom, Sang Yu pinched herself hard and let out a painful oops, only then did she realize that she was not dreaming, and the maid outside heard the voice and hurried in, "Miss Five, what's wrong?" ”
The one who came in was the big girl named Yuzhu next to the old lady yesterday, Sang Yu shook her head, "It's okay, it's just pinching yourself to make sure it's not a dream." ”
Yuzhu said with a smile while waiting for Sang Yu to get up, "Yesterday, the old lady said that you and your mother are in the same mold, and according to the slave maid, you are also the same as Aunt Bai." ”
Yesterday, I had been listening to what Aunt Bai was talking about as my own mother, but Sang Yu had a very vague impression of her, and she couldn't even remember what she looked like, so she said carefully, "Sister Yuzhu, can you tell me about my mother-in-law?" ”
This sister bluffed Yuzhu waved her hand again and again, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, just call me Yuzhu." ”
"Aunt Bai entered the house at the age of eighteen, she looks like a quiet and skillful, in fact, she is very lively, she is also refreshing, she is the most considerate of our subordinates, she always cooks for the old lady herself, and she always does not forget to bring us a share, even the old man said that Aunt Bai is a crazy rabbit, but it's a pity!"
Sang Yu understood what Yuzhu was sorry for, and somehow heard that she hadn't seen Aunt Bai, but she was very sad, maybe this is the nature of mother and daughter, even life and death can't be separated!
Yuzhu saw Sang Yu's expression, for fear of making her sad, so she quickly stopped, and changed the topic, "Fifth Miss, get up quickly!" It's hard to tell the old lady to wait. ”
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the clothes and put them on for Sang Yu, and after a while, when Sang Yu was looking in the mirror, he couldn't believe that the person was herself, and it was clearly Miss Yingying in the play, and when she looked back at Yuzhu's strange appearance, she secretly thought to herself, this Lin Mansion is a big mansion, and it is not abnormal to dress like a young lady.
In this way, I secretly made my heart and went to Shou'an Hall, as it was just bright today, Sang Yu could also take a careful look at the scenery inside, only to see that it was surrounded by fake stones, small bridges and flowing water, and the sound of birdsong in the distance, accompanied by bursts of fragrance from nowhere, it was really a fairyland on earth.
There was no one along the way, and Sang Yu was happy to look around, and when she arrived at Shou'an Hall, Sang Yu was a little nervous, and pulled the hem of Yuzhu's clothes behind, "Sister Yuzhu, is grandmother's temper good?" ”
Yuzhu saw Sang Yu's cramped appearance and knew that she must be a little nervous and scared, so she slowed down and explained slowly, "Fifth Miss, don't worry, our old lady is the most kind, and you are her heart, so you don't have to be afraid." ”
With these words, Sang Yu was a little relieved, and came all the way to Shou'an Hall, Mama Li saw Sang Yu coming, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, "Fifth Miss is here, come on!" The old lady is waiting to have breakfast with the young lady! ”
Sang Yu hurriedly walked a few steps to the inner room, and saw that the kind grandmother she had seen last night was looking at herself happily, and somehow her heart warmed, and she greeted her in accordance with the way she had said to greet her.
It's just that the posture is very irregular, Sang Yu is a little cramped, the old lady and Mama Li laughed again, this time Sang Yu is even more uneasy, and she doesn't know where to put her hands and feet.
Mrs. Lin took Sang Yu's hand and sat aside, her eyes were full of love and said, "Girl, you grew up outside, this rule and etiquette are not in a hurry, after a while, after Mama Li takes you to meet your father and mother, you will meet your brothers and sisters in Shou'an Hall, don't be afraid." ”
Sang Yu nodded, and saw a few small dishes on the table, porridge, and couldn't help swallowing saliva, it turned out that the breakfast in the house alone was so rich, Mama Li saw Sang Yu's eyes glowing, so she thought that she must be hungry, and quickly asked people to set up dishes and chopsticks and use the rice.
Suddenly, so many people stood around and watched him eat, Sang Yu was still a little uncomfortable, but seeing his grandmother's calm demeanor, everyone had no unusual expressions, so he thought that this must be the rule in the mansion, so he slowly endured the discomfort, and finally got used to it.
After eating, Mama Li took Sang Yu to her biological father to say goodbye, this Master Lin is a scholar, and now he is a minister, this official position is not big, it is not small, if it is big! This is just a position from the fifth grade, if it is said that it is small, this is still the master of the foreign officials.
Therefore, Master Lin himself is a bit rigid and has extremely high requirements for himself, so Sang Yu was slightly surprised when he saw his father, where does this look like a person who is nearly forty years old, and he is clearly about the same age as his brother in the family.
Mrs. Lin only told everyone the news of Sang Yu's return late last night, so it was almost late at night that Mr. Lin knew that his long-lost daughter had been found.
Sang Yu greeted him according to his grandmother's instructions, and then saw his father walking over by himself, Sang Yu suppressed his desire to retreat, raised his head in fear, and desperately suppressed the fear in his heart.
"You've suffered for so many years."
I don't know if it was Sang Yu's illusion or her dazzled, she actually saw a loss of warmth from Daddy Lin's unsmiling face, and actually saw crystal tears in the eyes of the person in front of her, this gap between before and after made Sang Yu a little overwhelmed.
It was still Mama Li who hurriedly said, "Fifth Miss is going to say hello to Mrs., the old lady said, please go to Shou'an Hall tonight, and everyone will have a good get-together." ”
With Mama Li's interruption, Master Lin reacted, quickly got up and turned his head, only to regain his indifferent appearance after a moment, "Since you want to see Madame, let's go!" In the evening, the two of us were talking well. ”
Mama Li took Sang Yu out of the study, leaving Master Lin alone to look at Sang Yu's back, only to see him muttering to himself, "This girl looks like you." ”
When the Bai family entered the mansion, he was only seventeen years old, and Master Lin was only in his twenties that year.
It's just that time flies, the Si people have passed away, and the sadness is left in vain, thinking of this, Master Lin silently pulled out a piece of rice paper, waved the brush in his hand and wrote a lovesick poem for the Bai family, and burned it silently after writing, leaving only a faint smell of fireworks in the study.
Mama Li took Sang Yu out of the study and saw Sang Yu's puzzled little face and said, "Fifth Miss has never seen Aunt Bai, I don't know how similar you look to Aunt Bai, even the old slave was startled last night!" When Aunt Bai was as old as you, she wasn't like this. ”
Sang Yu touched his little face and nodded, silently, passed through several courtyards, and came to a courtyard, only to see that although there were people here, it was silent, which showed that the rules were very large.
Seeing such a scene, Sang Yu also held her breath involuntarily, different from the round-faced and smiling maid in her grandmother's yard, the maid saw that the two of them just saluted and whispered hello, so she opened the curtain and welcomed the two in.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw that the decoration here was also different from that of my grandmother, simple and generous, without extra decoration, and it was very comfortable to see.
As soon as the curtain was opened, before I could see the people in the house, I heard a voice coming from behind, "It's the fifth girl here!" Come on in. ”
This voice is very refreshing, but someone in such a quiet place dares to speak like this, Sang Yu guessed that this is his mother An's!
Sang Yu followed Mama Li in, only to see a woman sitting in front of the dresser looking at herself, and only then did she get up when she saw herself coming, "This is the fifth girl, come, let me take a good look." ”
After speaking, he dragged Sang Yu's hand to the side of the chair and sat down, Sang Yu looked at Mama Li with some anxiety, only to see her looking at herself with a smile, Sang Yu turned around with confidence, but she didn't dare to look at An's, only lowered her head and didn't speak.
At this time, a hand stretched out from his chin to lift his face, Sang Yu had to look at An's, and listened, "Why are you so thin, but you have to make up for it, although the girl's family doesn't need to go to the battlefield, but she can't get the weak willow to help the wind, like a lamp beauty, it can't be beaten when the wind blows." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand, and his own maid took a box and stepped forward, An opened the box, took out a bracelet from it and put it on Sang Yu's hand, "You take this, each of your sisters has one, it's not good to leave you behind, come and call my mother, I'll listen." ”
Since entering the Lin Mansion, the people Sang Yu has seen are all people who speak slowly, and the people in front of him have crackled and said a lot, and they don't wait for themselves to speak, and they don't let themselves say hello, they just let them call their mother, what kind of statement is this.
But since he had already opened his mouth, the bracelet was also dangling on his thin wrist, and it was not good not to speak, so Sang Yu called out to his mother weakly, and then An suddenly straightened his back.
"Be louder, like a mosquito, Sister Bai wasn't like this back then."
No, Sang Yu had to shout again, but he called An Shi twice before he was satisfied, "That's right, when I call my mother in the future, I will be happy to hear it." ”
