Chapter 11: Wan Yun

The Treasure Pavilion was stormy all night, and there were people in the Dongbao Building who stayed awake all night.

Since Aunt Gao returned to Dongbao Building in despair, Wanyun saw the clues. At dinner, Aunt Gao said that she was lazy, and Wanyun only drank a bowl of porridge lightly.

After dinner, I hurried to the small kitchen and made a bowl of white jade egg custard for half a day. With a hint of timidity, she carefully lay in front of her mother's window, the treacherous wind of the waves, running around, Wanyun looked up at the sky, the clouds were thick, and she thought: Tonight is another storm.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of my mother rummaging through the cabinets, tiptoed open the door, came to Aunt Gao's side, and said distressedly: "Mother, your appetite has not been good these days, Wanyun made a bowl of egg custard, and my mother should eat a bite." ”

Wan Yun said earnestly, but who knew that Aunt Gao frowned, snatched the egg custard from Wan Yun's hand and threw it heavily on the table. The custard shook vigorously in the bowl and washed off the lid on the bowl, and a few drops of hot soup splashed on Aunt Gao's hand. Aunt Gao subconsciously retracted her hand, became more and more upset, and said viciously: "Can you have some chance, don't make these soups and water all day long, you are the daughter of the Admiral's Mansion of the Nine Gates, look at yourself, where do you still have a little bit of Miss Houmen's bearing?" Every day, I either wander around the stove or play with the flowers and plants. I worked hard to swallow your anger and pull you to grow up, I expected you to fly on the branches as a phoenix, is it possible that you are going to be a servant in the future, and you will be angry with me? ”

was misunderstood by her mother, and Wanyun didn't dare to shed tears in her eyes. Standing on the side, he didn't dare to come out, for fear of upsetting his mother again.

"You can also learn from Wanying's thoughts, and go to your father to be coquettish and please, which is all beneficial. Even if you make a bowl of egg custard, bring it to your father, and you will always be indispensable for white, gold and silver. It's good for you to see your father like a mouse seeing a cat, he hides from afar, you avoid him, can he like you? Can you give you a little bit of this furniture? ”

"Mother, Daddy drooped his face when he saw me, what did I have to do in front of him?" Wanyun's voice was like mosquitoes and flies, if it weren't for Aunt Gao's ears pricked up, she really wouldn't have heard what was said.

Aunt Gao saw Wanyun standing in the corner of the wall, without the arrogance and reserve of Miss Qianjin, and then thought of the graceful Jin Jiaoyu of the Cherished Pavilion, and her heart became more and more angry. scolded and said: "It's the same daughter who came out of the same door, why are people slim and elegant, showy, you are her own sister, you should be better than her in everything, why let her compare." Aunt Gao was also distressed when she practiced her own daughter, but seeing that she had no status in front of the master, she had nowhere to vent her anger in her heart, so she could only vent her anger with this daughter. scolded and scolded, and tears flowed from his eyes.

Wanyun knew that her mother was angry with herself in the past few days and missed the opportunity of the concubine of Dong'an. However, the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing to be done. Seeing that there was also a distraction in the corner of her eyes under her mother's anger, Wanyun stepped forward boldly, took out her handkerchief, and wiped away Aunt Gao's tears tremblingly.

Who knew that Aunt Gao opened Wanyun with one hand, but she used too much force, and Wanyun stumbled a few times and fell to the ground. Aunt Gao pushed Wanyun and watched Wanyun lying on the ground, not only did she not stretch out her hand to pull her daughter up, but she was even more angry, and the ghost rushed to Wanyun's side and punched and kicked Wanyun. Wanyun has been accustomed to seeing her mother like this since she was a child, and she didn't shout, silently lying on the ground, letting her mother beat her.

Wanyun's thin body nested on the ground, and the thin backbone penetrated through the thin gauze clothes, which made people feel distressed when they saw it. Secretly sobbing secretly, she wiped out Aunt Gao's anger at once.

Outside the window, a fierce wind blew the window fan 'Gedagda', and a sudden lightning bolt streaked through the gloomy and heavy black clouds, followed by a rumbling thunder. Hearing the thunder, Wanyun's body shrank into a ball in fright, and the sobbing sound she endured almost broke Aunt Gao's heart.

Aunt Gao knelt on the ground, hugged Wanyun, and held her tightly in her arms, Wanyun was like a frightened little rabbit, curled up in Aunt Gao's arms.

"Yun'er, my mother shouldn't beat you, my mother is panicked, and my mother is also wronged."

Wanyun finally let go of crying, hugged Aunt Gao and said, "Mother, isn't it okay for us to live our life well?" ”

Aunt Gao, whose mood had just improved a little, heard Wanyun say such things, pushed Wanyun away, and said angrily: "Mother hates you the most, if you are a son, your mother will not be bullied." ”

Wanyun knelt on the ground, crying breathlessly, and suddenly said hard: "Mother, no one bullied us." ”

Aunt Gao was bumped by Wanyun, rounded her arm when she landed, and slapped Wanyun in the face. Lifted up the hem of his skirt and stood up, turned and sat down in a chair.

Wanyun covered her face, it hurt hotly but still couldn't scream. Aunt Gao saw that Wanying was cowardly and sensible, and her heart felt like she had knocked over five bottles, sour, spicy, and had any taste.

The word 'nest' hanging on Aunt Gao's lips is actually an indescribable pain in her own heart, and after more than 20 years in the house, everyone despises her and abuses her. She also wants to be in harmony with everyone, but every time things come to reality, they are not what she imagined. No one took her seriously, and no one even cared about her life or death. She also wanted to give everyone a peach, and longed for everyone to repay her. But the way of the world seems to be against her, and everything is contrary to what she thinks.

Although Wanyun is young, she has also seen the rights and wrongs of the house in recent years. His mother has no city, her ears are soft, and her mouth is broken, so she is always calculated by others. Especially Aunt Cui, the youngest room of my father, is commensurate with my mother and sisters on the surface, but my mother has been insulted several times, and I can more or less see that I have Aunt Cui's wrists.

Thinking of this, Wanyun knelt down and threw herself on Aunt Gao's knees, endured her crying, and said with a sobbing voice: "Mother, Aunt Lin has never had malicious intentions towards our Dongbao Building, and Mother really shouldn't be able to get along with Aunt Lin everywhere, not to mention that Aunt Lin has helped us Dongbaolou many times......"

Before Wanyun finished speaking, Aunt Gao kicked Wanyun away, and said with disgust: "Okay, you little prostitute who eats inside and out, even you have a heart." If you think that the Treasure Pavilion treats you well, why don't you go and be her daughter, what are you doing with me? ”

Wanyun knelt down again, tied Aunt Gao's legs with her hands, buried her head in Aunt Gao's skirt, and said loudly: "Mother, maybe Wanyun is really too stupid to understand your hatred, but Aunt Cui instigated her mother and didn't let Aunt Li attend her father's birthday, which seemed to help her establish her prestige, but in fact hurt her mother, this is not enough, after the birthday banquet, Baba ran to our Dongbao Building, and begged for nothing. I don't know if Aunt Cui is behind the ghost. ”

Aunt Gao was also taken aback when she heard such words, she didn't expect that Wanyun, who seemed to be weak, could have such a city, she always felt that her daughter's nest was useless, but she didn't expect to be able to say such a thing, and she was not so bored in her heart, she pulled Wanyun up, and looked at Wanyun's little face that was already crying, after all, she was beating her own child, so there was no reason not to feel distressed. When I thought of how heavy my hand was, my heart was filled with endless tears, and I only flowed down my eyes.

Wanyun watched her mother cry and decided that her mother had listened to what she said. didn't care about his tears, and pulled his sleeve to wipe Aunt Gao's tears.

This moment finally melted the resentment in Aunt Gao's heart. The sound of wind and rain outside the house became thicker and thicker, and Aunt Gao simply let go of her throat and cried bitterly. Grievances, sadness, unwillingness, distress, everything in the past 20 years has been mixed with tears and flowed out of my heart.

Wan Yun held Aunt Gao in her arms and supported Aunt Gao's crumbling body with her weak arms.
