Although the Wen family said that they were in the capital, they had already gone out of the city, and they went out from the east gate and walked about seven or eight miles. ”

The man asked, "Which writer?" We have hundreds of Wen families here. ”

"Today's happy event."

"Oh, I knew it when I said it was earlier, it has been facing east, and when I saw the three large archways, it was their home. The eldest son of Master Wen's family married his daughter-in-law today, and the road under his feet was also cleared by them after they rushed to shovel the snow. ”

When the car arrived at Wen's house, it had already found a place to park, and a large open space in front of the door was full of sedan cars, and the coachman wiped his sweat: "Girl, I'm afraid you have to go over." ”

Wu Zhenli jumped out of the car, fortunately he wore deerskin boots today, and he was not afraid of stepping on the snow.

I got out of the car with me, a moment earlier than the appointment with Wen Fei. The Wen family's house was built at the foot of the mountain, there was a lot of commotion in front of the door, and no one asked us about our origins, so we handed Wen Fei a wedding note and calmly entered the door. Someone led the way, saying, "Girls, please go to the east courtyard to sit down and serve tea, and then please come out to watch the ceremony when the auspicious time comes." ”

Wu Zhen pulled me: "I don't know who the people are in the courtyard, let's not go, let's go outside." She whispered, "Do you know where to find Wen Fei?" ”

"That's what he said......"

I remember what Wen Fei said, against the guest house in front of me, out of the moon full moon cave door on the left-hand side, outside is a small garden, in the summer may be full of flowers, but now it is full of ice and snow, a lonely clear. I pointed to the road on the right: "Go this way." ”

It was a sandwich road, the snow had not cleared, the ice ballast under his feet was clattering, and after walking a little further, the noise in front of him gradually faded away. The high walls on both sides blocked the snow light, and it looked very cold and gloomy.

"This ...... Wu Ning, are you not wrong? ”

"No, there's only one way to get this way." In fact, I also had some doubts in my heart: "If there is someone in front, just ask." ”

At the end of this road, it almost seems that he is no longer in the magnificent literary house, in front of which is a row of low houses, like the place where the subordinates live, and the paint on the doors and windows has long been gone, I don't know how many years have passed. The snow in front of the door was swept clean, and there was a red letter on the door, which made it cold here. This happy word is particularly eye-catching, and it is extremely incongruous with the surroundings, so that people can't see the meaning of joy at all.

"There must have been a mistake."

I looked around, and Wen Fei only said that through here, the door facing him was where he lived - could he live in this kind of place?

I know that the Wen family treats him very unfairly. But...... But Wen Fei, who looks noble and elegant and graceful, has he always lived here?

We were thinking about it, the door opened, standing in the door, wearing a green cloth clothes, could it be Wen Fei?

"I was about to go out and wait. But you have come. Come on in, it's warm in the house. ”

Wu Zhen glanced at me, his eyes full of astonishment.

I can't think of it—

But in my heart. More than shock, but sad and distressed.

I smiled at him, "Is there any tea?" Afraid that the road would not be easy, we didn't dare to eat anything in the morning, nor did we drink water. ”

The girl's house is not more convenient than the man's, and she has to really encounter an urgent situation. What can I do on the way?

As we spoke, we entered the house, which was cleaned up and cleaned. Although it is old, it makes people feel the simplicity and elegance of the owner. On the windowsill is a clay bottle with a few stems of dried yellow grass in the jar.

"Let's have tea." Wen Fei poured two cups of tea for us, and the cups were also ordinary coarse porcelain, but Wen Fei's attitude seemed calm and generous, and he didn't want to hide these embarrassments with me.

Wu Zhen and I took off our cloaks and put them aside. Today, I thought I was going to the wedding banquet, so I dressed up more carefully than usual, combed my hair in a double bun, and wore jewelry. Wu Zhen was even more concerned about makeup, with fat powder on his face, a chain of red gold beads coiled in his hair, and a pearl pendant on his ears, which seemed to be extremely incompatible with this room, and looked like a person who had gone to the wrong place.

Wu Zhen held the teacup and asked curiously, "You don't have to go to the front to help?" ”

"The day before yesterday, Uncle Dong, the housekeeper, sent a message, but he didn't arrange anything for me to do, and I don't need to welcome guests or the like, so you can't let me run errands and pour tea and pass water, right?" He smiled and said: "It's just right not to go, the gong and drum team came a few days ago, and the blowing and blowing all day and night make people have a headache, but fortunately it is quite quiet here." ”

It's not just quiet, it's almost a quiet corner that has been deliberately forgotten. Even if Wen Fei was not born to Mrs. Wen, but his father is always close, why is he so indifferent and ruthless to Wen Fei, who is also his own son?

"By the way, we have a gift for my aunt, isn't she here?"

Wen Fei turned his head, paused, and whispered, "Mother is in the East House, it's just ...... She's sick and can't get up, so I'll lead you there. ”

I was taken aback: "Aunt is sick?" Are you seriously ill? Is there any in Langzhong, please? What medicine to take? ”

"I also know a little bit of medical science and medicine, my mother has always been weak, and she will always have one or two illnesses in the cold in winter, it doesn't matter."

I felt bitter and a little uneasy. When I stood up, I had a teacup on my sleeve, and a few drops of water splashed from the cup, and the water droplets splashed on the back of my hand, and I reached out and wiped it.

The tea was hot, and there was a slight pain in the place where the back of the hand was splashed, and then it gradually turned into a tingling sensation.

Wen Fei's mother sat at the head of the bed, I hadn't seen her yet, I listened to her voice first, elegant and peaceful, but a little lacking in strength: "Why did you let the witch girl in?" There is a sick smell in this room, come quickly, go and talk in the Westroom. ”

I stepped forward: "What did my aunt say, since she is here, how can you not meet the elders?" ”

She and I looked at each other.

Wen Fei's mother looked to be in her thirties and forties, pale and emaciated, with a cloth wrapped around her head and wearing old homely clothes. I think I didn't dare to open the window when I was sick, and there was a strong smell of medicine in the house. She must have been a very outstanding beauty when she was young, but now although she is not in her prime, she is sick and haggard, and her original appearance has gone six or seven points, but her eyes are clear and gentle, like two bends of spring river. There is a gentle and elegant between the eyebrows, which makes people feel a sense of closeness in their hearts at first sight, and they don't feel strange or uncomfortable at all.

"This is ...... Miss Wu Ning? ”

I answered, and was saluted with Wu Zhen: "I've seen my aunt." ”

"Don't be polite, sit down, sit down and talk."

I took out the gift we had brought, and I pointed to the green purse and said, "I made this one—it's very crude, auntie, don't dislike it." The yellow one was made by Wu Zhen. ”

"It's very chic, it's done well, Miss Wu Ning has a heart." She smiled: "I can't do needlework either, I made a dress for Fei'er in the summer, and the two sleeves are long on the left and short on the right...... I had to remove it and change it. When it's done, guess what? ”

Wu Zhen asked curiously, "Isn't it changed for the better?" ”

"Where, after the change, he tried it again, and this time it became short on the left and long on the right—" She smiled with a particularly touching feeling, and her whole person was as soft as the spring breeze blowing under the willow branches by the pond in March.

Her joke made Wu Zhen and I couldn't help laughing, and the little restraint we had when we first met was all let go at once.

Beautiful, gentle, and funny woman—

It turned out that Wen Fei's mother was like this. (To be continued)
