Chapter 4 The drooping hair does not know sorrow

Previous Chapter

I'm in trouble again.

This time I didn't break my mother's agate silk tray, I didn't throw mud bowls and jump into mud puddles with the boys, and I didn't tie up my mother's beloved Siamese cat and put it on the edge of the pond in the garden, just to see how the kitten fished with its tail.

I really don't understand why my mother is so angry.

I stood on the ground at my feet, hung my head slightly, and made a pitiful look with my eyebrows bowed, but my heart was anxious:

Why did Ah Sui go for so long and didn't come back? Supposedly, Daddy should get the news!

My mother coughed softly twice, but it was like two thunderclaps in my ear. I shuddered involuntarily, but my eyes peeked from under the slightly drooping eyelids.

On the crimson sandalwood chair, a half-new gray squirrel chair was tied, and the mother sat there with a calm face, with a thin look of anger between her eyebrows.

Mother's birth is really beautiful!

Even in the midst of such annoyance, the beauty of the mother has not been diminished in the slightest. The long black eyebrows, bright eyes, Gu Pan is always radiant, and there is an irrepressible vitality on the whole face, which is completely different from the heroic and hearty posture of the ladies of the rich family in Lingyang.

Jian Jue always boasted about his mother's beauty in front of me, and I couldn't help but scoff: such a delicate and slender lady like a lamp, it will be broken when the wind blows, what is the use of coming?

Although my mother-in-law often slapped my palms over all kinds of trivial things, I still think that my mother-in-law is the most beautiful.

I was in a state of thought, thinking, when I suddenly heard my mother's deep voice ringing in my ears:

"A-Yuan, do you know it's wrong?"

I raised my head and was about to speak in a hurry, but I saw Mama Li next to my mother glaring at me vigorously. Mama Li has always loved me the most, and often brings me the cakes in my mother's room to eat, and it never hurts to listen to her.

Then I hung my head again, like a wilted eggplant, and whispered:

"Auntie, I know it's wrong."

My mother snorted coldly in her nose, and put the tea cup in her hand on the table heavily, and the azure tea cup fell on the table with a crisp sound of "popping", and I couldn't help but shiver again.

"Tell me, then, what is wrong with you?"

My mother's eyes were fixed on me, like two discerning electric lights, as if I had nowhere to hide.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and I felt a pain in both temples. I've always been most afraid of my mother asking me like this.

So I hung my head and pondered: What was wrong with me?

Oh, I'm going to drill the dog hole.

But I just want to get out!

Speaking of which, the eldest brother Xiao Yi should be blamed for this!

If he hadn't gone out with his second brother and third brother and didn't take me, would I have been able to find a way to run out by myself? If I don't run out, can I go down the dog hole?

Besides, how did I know that the dog's hole was so small that it could get me stuck there?

I racked my brains and couldn't figure out what I was wrong, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt that there was nothing wrong with me, but a stomach full of grievances!

My mother's eyes burned into me:

"Huh? Say! ”

"I ...... I was wrong...... Wrong...... I don't know ......."

I gritted my teeth and honestly muttered this. Mama Li, who was standing behind her mother, closed her eyes in despair, with a look of "mourning her misfortune and being angry with her", and I knew that I had said the wrong thing again.

With a "dang chang", the azure tea cup shattered at my feet, and the steaming tea flowed to the ground. The mother stood up from the chair with a "brush", raised her two long eyebrows, and shouted angrily:

"Mama Li, take the family law!"

Mama Li's face was full of embarrassment, her lips twitched, as if she wanted to intercede for me. But he didn't want his mother to glare, and said:

"Let's go!"

Mama Li looked at me sympathetically, sighed, and turned around and walked into the east ear room.

The mother holds a wide ring ruler in her hand:

"Hand out!"

I reluctantly stretched out my hand, which was already covered with mud and dirt, like a small rake that had shaved dust. My mother mercilessly straightened my little hand and raised the ring ruler high. I closed my eyes tightly, ready for the next wail, but the ring did not fall.

Hey? What's going on?

I opened one eye and saw that my father was holding my mother's wrist like a god, snatching the ring ruler from her hand. I dodged and hid behind my father.

My mother was speechless, and the jade step in her hair was trembling and trembling, and she trembled and pointed at me and said to my father:

"Good, good! Just keep it! Look how you've spoiled your daughter! ”

Daddy turned to look at me, and I looked at him with an innocent look on my face. Daddy frowned slightly, I know, Daddy must have thought my behavior was very embarrassing.

After being stuck in the dog hole for a long time, my clothes were already dirty and had a few tears. The two corners that the nurse had carefully combed for me were also scattered, and her hair was draped over her shoulders.

Daddy's expression was a little helpless, but he smiled and said to his mother:

"A-Yuan is still young! It's just a matter of scaring her, where can you really fight? If you hit her with such a wide board, aren't you afraid of breaking her? ”

The mother sat down in the chair angrily and said:

"A-Yuan is my own child, don't I feel distressed? is just teaching a daughter at home, a goddaughter-in-law, you are so arrogant to her, see that the man will marry her in the future! ”

I grabbed the corner of my father's clothes, hid behind him and exposed half of my head, and whispered:

"I don't want to get married, I want to stay with my father forever."

Daddy bent down, a smile between his eyebrows:

"Why, my dignified daughter of Xiao Xu, the king of Lingyang, is still worried that she can't get married?"

He rubbed my dirty face and laughed again:

"If you really can't get married, I'll ask your imperial uncle to point you a family affair!"

I listened to my father's words, and my sorrow was gone, and I nodded solemnly like an adult.

Mother looked at us, shook her head angrily at my father and said:

"It's my father's fault if I don't teach it. You're going to me off to death! ”

Daddy smiled half-heartedly, looked at his mother and said:

"So, my father-in-law taught you that way back then?"

I saw the maids and servants on both sides, some bowing their heads, some with sideways faces, all with distorted faces, and forced themselves to laugh. Even Mama Li, who has always been steady and solemn, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The mother stood up angrily, flicked her sleeves, and walked to the ear room in a huff.

Ah Sui was probing his brain at the door, and he seemed relieved to see his father leading me out unharmed. I quietly gave her a thumbs up, and Ah Sui smiled and silently followed behind us.

Daddy looked down at me and frowned:

"A-Yuan, you really stink, let the nurse wash you well later."

I hummed, and Daddy said:

"You're getting naughty! Why did you think of drilling a dog hole again this time? ”

"I want to go out, but my brothers won't take me."

I was full of wrongs, and I felt aggrieved and said:

"Daddy, why can my brothers go out, but I can't? I also want to go out like them. ”

Daddy looked at me with a smile and said:

"But doesn't Ah Luan stay at home honestly as well?"

Luan is my younger sister, three years younger than me.

I shook my head and said:

"But I'm not Luan."

Daddy squatted down and looked at me, thought about it, and said solemnly:

"It's fine, but you'll have to eat less pastries in the future."

I wondered, what does this have to do with eating cakes?

Daddy looked at me and said seriously:

"If you eat too fat, won't you get stuck in the dog hole next time?"

As soon as Daddy's words fell, he burst into a hearty laugh.

I pouted and looked at my father, pretending to be angry, but my heart was full of attachment to my father. I know that the entire Lingyang people know that Xiao Yuan, the eldest daughter of Xiao Xu, the king of Lingyang, is his sweetheart.

When my mother was pregnant with me, I already had three older brothers, and my father only wanted a daughter. The day I was born happened to be the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and my father, who had a daughter, smiled happily, hugged me in my swaddling arms and said:

"This daughter came at the right time, since she was born on the first day, let's call her Ayuan!"

In order to express his joy of getting his beloved daughter, Lingyang Wangfu held a banquet. In the city, both the hairpin clan and the wealthy officials and merchants came to celebrate, and I heard that the banquet alone lasted for three days. Among the brothers and sisters, this treatment is only comparable to my eldest brother Xiao Yi when he was born, and it is difficult for others to match.

When I was full moon, my mother took me to the southern capital outside Lingyang City to repay my vows, and met the famous physiognomy master Xuan Jizi at that time, Xuan Jizi looked at my face, and after criticizing my eight characters, he only said eight words: "Life is strange and expensive." ”

When my mother returned home, she told my father what Xuan Jizi had said, and my father was even more happy when he heard it, and said:

"She was born in Lingyang Palace, and she is a blessed child. What could be more rich than royalty? ”

In the entire Lingyang City, I am undoubtedly the most blessed girl in the eyes of people.

My father was the imperial brother of Nanliang, and he regarded me as a pearl in his palm. But whatever I want, what I love, he can't wait to move to my eyes. Even if I wanted the stars in the sky, my father would love to find someone to carry the ladder and take it off for me.

Daddy treats me like a jewel, and in my eyes, Daddy is also the best daddy in the world.

Daddy never hurt me, never forced me to learn the needles of the female workers who gave me a headache and pricked my fingers and bleed. Even if I was caught by him occasionally climbing over the wall and climbing trees, he only pretended to lose his temper and scared me, but he never complained to his mother.

My mother is afraid that no one will want me when I grow up?

Hmph, I don't like those stinky boys!

No man in the world is as cute, amiable, and approachable as his father. When I grow up, if I want to marry a man, that person must love me like my father, and he must be as good as my father.

It's just that in this world, where are such people?
