Chapter 7: Seeing My Father for the First Time
When she came out of her aunt's place, it was almost noon, and Aunt Jiu had lived in a deep house for a long time, her ears and eyes were closed, and she didn't know much about the net worth background of several aunts in the house. Just briefly talked to me, and there is not much difference from what Xuan'er said.
's mother is my father's original wife, and her mother's family also has some officialdom background. There is an eldest daughter called Qingcheng under the knee, married to the second son of the current prefect's family, the eldest son is named Qingbo, and after being selected by his mother, he hired the daughter of the Senator of the Political Division, but at present, the woman has filial piety in the family, so it was delayed and did not get married.
The second lady is the daughter of a businessman, and her family has some connections with the Weaving Bureau, so she is also commensurate with her wife in the house, enjoying the treatment second only to her mother, and her son and daughter Qingyan and Qingqian are both married and not around.
Regarding the third aunt, Xuan'er and Aunt were vague, saying that they had an emergency and died at a young age.
The fourth aunt is Qingqing's biological aunt, who was sold to the Su family by the official when she was young, and has been serving in front of her grandmother, although I haven't seen her, but she can give birth to a smart and clever girl like Qingqing, and her mother must be very good.
The fifth aunt is a Bashu woman, with a pungent temperament, and often secretly competes with her mother when she is in the house. She only has one daughter named Qingluo, and she is also loved like a jewel. Qingluo was fifteen years old and was married by his mother to the son-in-law of the deputy envoy of the Imperial Mission. The fifth aunt was ecstatic, thinking that her daughter had climbed a high branch, but she was afraid of change, so she couldn't wait to urge Qingluo to get married. Unexpectedly, the aunt had convulsions and was widowed after less than two years of marriage. Qingluo's life in her husband's house was really difficult, so she took the fifth aunt over as a companion, and the fifth aunt once cried with her mother, and the mother was also in tears, regretting that she had mistrusted the matchmaker's words and ruined her daughter's life. Now, the power of the deputy envoy's family, the Su family, has climbed, but Qingluo is alone, and the life in his house can be imagined, and finally Aunt Jiu repeatedly warned me: Don't disobey your mother, Qingluo is a lesson from the past, she can play with the rest of your life in the palm of her hand just by talking and laughing, and kill people without blood.
I have a deep impression that my father came back from outside the sixth aunt who wore a parrot and a green beak to greet her, she has a concubine in addition to Qingchou, and has her own independent shops, young and promising, business with a keen sense of smell, bold and bold skills, I heard that my father appreciates it very much. No wonder the sixth aunt has always been so cautious about her mother, it turned out that she was planning for her son and her own future.
When it comes to Aunt Seven, Aunt Nine obviously has a hatred in her eyes, not just that she relies on her daughter Qingwan to be powerful and often sneers at other aunts, but that Aunt Nine After returning from Yunwu Mountain, Xiao En Xiaohui bribed Aunt Seven's mother-in-law in front of her, and learned that Aunt Seven had gone out under the pretext of listening to the play a few days before my accident and secretly brought back a bag of saffron! Although my mother saved my life because of this, it does not erase the fact that she harmed us. It's just that Aunt Nine has no conclusive evidence, and this matter is over. But then Qingwan gained power, the seventh aunt was extraordinarily unexpected, and the new and old grudges accumulated together, and the ninth aunt hated her so much that she gritted her teeth, and when she saw my face, she hoped that I could marry a first-class powerful family and compare her to her.
The eighth aunt was born in a scholarly family, and after losing her beloved son, she was disheartened, so she moved out of the house and practiced in the Fuhua Nunnery, far avoiding the disputes of the world.
Qing Lian's biological aunt is the last in the list, she was originally a popular actor, with a soft temperament, because she was often excluded by other aunts because of her low background, and she can talk to Aunt Jiu, and she has a lot of contacts on weekdays.
I finally took my seat and roughly sorted out the ranking and background of the aunts in the house. At the same time, I also had a plan for the person who poisoned me, and excluded the third aunt, the fifth aunt, the eighth aunt, and the tenth aunt, even so, my heart was a mess, and I didn't have the slightest clue. secretly complained that the father he had never met was so romantic, which provoked the green, fat, red and thin people of the house, and added so much trouble.
Back in the courtyard, I simply freshened up, listened to Aunt Jiu's words, and picked two plain ones from the beaded flowers rewarded by the eldest lady to wear. The eldest lady was very satisfied when she saw my outfit, "These jewelry are really suitable for you young people to wear, and I look very stingy when I wear them." ”
I lowered my head and frowned and said: "Mother has a luxurious temperament, she doesn't wear anything, and she is also elegant and generous, these hairpin rings are naturally inferior to your brilliance." ”
I felt a chill when the words fell, I have never complimented anyone so much, just because I really don't want to follow in the footsteps of that Qingluo, my future lifelong events are all up to her, and I have to bow my head.
The mother covered her mouth and smiled, looking kind and kind, and a snow-white Persian cat on her lap squinted her eyes and rubbed her hand affectionately: "Your master really deserves his reputation, and the girl who came out is also exquisite." ”
"Master Hagi's fame in Jiangnan is unique, and Xiao Eleven can worship in her name, which is creation." There was a calm and clear voice at the door, and a thin man of about fifty walked in, with a lion nose and a square mouth, short hair and white face, wearing a navy blue brocade robe, and his body was filled with the elegant fragrance of ink. When I entered the door, I looked up and down, as if full of relief.
The mother quickly stood up, put the cat on the cushion of the chair, stepped forward to take the things he was carrying, and handed the hot hand towel prepared at the table into his hand: "The master came back early today." ”
"Aren't you in a hurry to come back to see Qingwu, you are not in good health, just rest, and tell your subordinates to do these things." He took the handkerchief and whispered, then turned to look at me: "It seems that she looks more like your aunt." ”
My mother also looked at me a little proudly: "Even though my eyebrows and eyes are like the ninth sister, this otherworldly temperament is still the master of the uphold." ”
It was the first time I met my father, probably because of my natural blood, which made me feel not strange at all, but very kind, even more than the excitement of meeting Aunt Nine for the first time. "No, my daughter Qingwen visits her father, and her father is blessed with Jin'an."
My father hurried two steps and helped me up: "My family doesn't need so many courtesies, it's too polite." Daddy came back late last night, and I heard your aunt say that you have worked hard all the way and have rested, so I didn't bother you, and my spirit is better today? ”
"The food and accommodation in the house and the mother's eccentricity are the best arrangements, and the young woman is a little flattered and uneasy." I whispered.
The father laughed loudly: "Your mother has always regarded you as her own, especially in these years, when you are not around, she naturally has to make up for a little debt." ”
As soon as the words fell, a maid came in and respectfully asked if she could pass the food. The meals were made separately in my mother's kitchen, steamed sea bass, chicken wings in thick soup, steamed scallops with scallops with scallops and scallops, and a few lighter seasonal vegetable dishes, which were not luxurious, but exquisite. In the end, I also gave my mother a stack of vinegared liver tips and a cup of stewed blood swallow with rock sugar, all of which are ingredients for blood nourishment.
The father frowned and asked, "Isn't your body still neat?" ”
"I've eaten several doctor's prescriptions, but I don't always see it clean. In the past few days, my mind has been a little dizzy, and my body is also tired. The mother's face was slightly ashamed.
"No one can stand this kind of blood loss, not to mention that you have to work hard every day, so let's change the doctor tomorrow, right?" Father asked in a low voice.
The mother shook her head and said, "The child is still there, let's talk about it later, don't let the child listen to the joke." ”
"What are you afraid of, you are avoiding medical treatment, do you know?" My father shook his head and continued to eat, and I simply remained silent.
My father suddenly looked up at me: "Didn't Qingwen study medicine with Master Hagi since she was a child, Master Hagi is a wonderful doctor who shocked Jinling, and after eating for a while, let Qingwu show you." ”
My mother put a piece of fish maw into my bowl: "Qingwu is just a child, what can she learn?" Several doctors who have been practicing medicine for half their lives have seen it and said that it is fine. ”
"Famous teachers produce high apprentices, that's not necessarily, you just listen to me." Father said softly.
Originally, I thought that my father had a group of wives and concubines, and the relationship with my mother should not be very good, but now I know that they get along with each other in private. 's mother can turn the clouds and rain in the backyard of the Su family, although it is thanks to her maiden background and smart means, on the other hand, a large part of the reason is the recognition and affirmation of her father, who is her biggest backer.
Since I was a child, I followed my master to collect medicine in the mountains, or ran around to see doctors for the people, and the amount of food was naturally incomparable to those weak and uncontrollable young ladies in the house. When I added the second bowl of rice, my mother had already put down the dishes and chopsticks. I was also embarrassed to be greedy, and I was laughed at by my parents, so I was embarrassed to eat vegetables, so I hurriedly lowered my head and put the rice in the bowl into my mouth. My father repeatedly beckoned me to eat more vegetables, and put the chicken legs in the chicken pot wings into my bowl, and piled up a hill at the bottom of my bowl, "The mountain is poor, I'm afraid that there are only wild vegetables, fruits and vegetables on weekdays." You're going to have to eat more meat and see how thin you've become. ”
"The master often took me down the mountain to see the people in the city, and rarely charged a consultation fee. The people are very grateful, but whenever someone goes up the mountain, they will bring a lot of fresh food and quietly put it at our door, the master likes to eat vegetarian, so those chickens, ducks and fish are cheap daughters. I swallowed the food in my mouth and said with a smile. I just don't eat meat, the master laughed and scolded me as a "white-eyed wolf", but now it's a prophecy, she has worked hard to raise me for many years, and now I really made a white-eyed wolf, leaving her alone in the empty cloud mountain.
My father Xu saw that I was a little sad, and sighed: "Your master is compassionate and compassionate, and he is a rare strange woman in a thousand years." I really shouldn't have taken you over in such a hurry, and I'll personally prepare a gift to thank you another day. ”
I remembered the agreement with my master, and I felt a little comforted in my heart. I think my father is reasonable and approachable.
