Chapter 2: Complaints
Jujube put a few agarwood in the incense burner in advance, Song Ting woke up after sleeping for half an hour, his head was dizzy when he woke up, his body seemed to be rubbed soft among the clouds, a wind blew open the window, and the coolness in the wind made her a little sober.
Song Ting looked at the curtain hanging down on the eaves of the bed like a blue wave, and there were scattered spring greetings floating on the waves.
When Zao Zao came in, he saw that the young lady had woken up, lying on the collapse and looking at the veil in a trance, and quietly walked over and tied the blue yarn on the golden flower hook, "Miss, the master is back, don't talk about the Taoist priest in front of him." ”
"Why?" Song Ting put on the velvet and poured a cup of hot tea and took a sip.
"Many years ago, the old lady had a disease, some people said that it was because of the ghost road, so they asked the Taoist priest to do it, but I didn't expect the old lady to be more sick, the high fever did not go away, and the mouth kept saying that I saw the ghost, and then the old man did not recruit, and found the imperial doctor in the palace, and it took a lot of effort to cure, and then the most taboo of the old man is the Taoist."
Song Ting was surprised: "There is such a thing? ”
Zao Zao nodded, "So the eldest lady has invited a Taoist priest these days, and it is estimated that the old man does not know." ”
Song Ting silently held the tea lid and floated the green leaves on his face to the side, and suddenly his eyes lifted slightly: "By the way, why did I throw myself into the lake?" ”
Zao Zao's face was stunned, and he hesitated: "Miss, do you really want to know?" It's better not to say it......"
What good thing can it be for this good girl to jump into the lake, Song Ting motioned for her to continue.
"It's because ...... Miss, when you and the eighth prince got married, ......" Zao Zao's face turned red, and he looked down at the colorful brocade golden lotus cloth on the round table and couldn't speak for a long time, Song Ting patted the table impatiently, and Zao Zao bit his lip: "On the night of the cave room, Miss fainted in bed, and then she was divorced by the prince." ”
“……”
Song Ting was speechless, looked at the little girl opposite for a long time, and said tentatively: "Scared? ”
Zao Zao nodded.
“……”
Can you still be scared out of this? She was very curious about the former Song Ting, so she covered Zao Zao's hand: "Zao, you need to talk more about the past, maybe I can remember something." ”
"That's right."
Zao Zao frowned, and when he talked about the past of Miss, he felt a burst of sadness, "If this house talks about being good to Miss, there will probably only be the old lady and the third lady......"
"Old lady?"
Zao Zao nodded: "After they woke up on the day of the young lady, they went to the temple to thank God." ”
It turned out that she still had a backer, and Song Ting felt that she was one step closer to the life of rice worms that she had focused on for thirty years without asking Fengyue.
When it comes to the past, time always leaves no trace, and in the blink of an eye, it is an hour later. The maid who was waiting for the old man came to Lanting Garden at this time.
"Fifth Miss, the master told you to go to the study."
This is the first time that the old man has proposed to see her after the young lady woke up, and Zao Zao was inexplicably nervous, grabbed Song Ting's sleeve, and said almost earnestly: "Miss, the old man has a big temper, don't be willful." ”
"I see."
It was already evening, the dusk was slowly sinking, the Ou tile pavilion covered half of the red sun, and the golden yellow fell through the leaves on the mottled shadow on the bluestone surface of the corridor.
Song Ting stared at the broken shadow while walking, it turned out that this girl was a poor person, her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and she was loved by her father in every way so much that her father regarded her as a person who brought disaster to her mother, and she had been lukewarm and even resentful, and she didn't have an official name until she was three years old, and then she was placed by her father in the most secluded and deserted Lanting Courtyard, so she called Song Ting. She has three sisters and one brother, and their names are all given by the word generation, their generation is "Yu", if Song Ting is loved by her father, maybe she can also have a name of "Song Yu".
Song Ting walked to the end of the corridor, there are several roads leading to different courtyards on a road, this Hou Mansion is the home of dignitaries, and the mansion is half the size of her university, as a road idiot, Song Ting is lost. After walking around the flower forest for a long time, I finally saw a little maid coming over with a food plate.
Xiao Zhu saw that the fifth lady who was the most unfavored in the Hou Mansion was standing not far away, so she hurriedly saluted, and did not say hello, but just glanced indifferently, and then walked in front of her.
Are the maids in this house so arrogant when they see the young lady?
"Beauty, may I ask how my father's academy is going?"
Xiaozhu turned around, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Fifth Miss, this is?" ”
"The water flooded the brain and lost memory."
No one in the whole house knew that Song Ting jumped into the lake and drowned and didn't remember anything after she came back to life, but Xiaozhu was surprised how could Song Ting, who spoke cautiously, call her like this.
Song Ting smelled the aroma of the small casserole sitting on the food plate, and stepped forward to reach out and open the lid to take a closer look, "It's chicken soup, it's really fragrant." ”
Song Ting's eyes moved from the casserole to the pink porcelain plate next to him, and took a piece of sesame crisp to taste, the sesame seeds are fragrant and crispy, and the mouth melts, fragrant but not greasy.
Xiaozhu stared at the woman in front of her in astonishment, is this still the fifth lady who used to be polite for weeks, and she would blush when she spoke with their maids?
Song Ting finished eating a piece in two bites, and was about to reach out to take another piece, Xiaozhu immediately took a few steps back and hid the tray far away, if the second lady saw it, she didn't know how to scold her!
"From this path, go straight ahead, and when you see the lotus pond, follow the road on the left and go down the second fork." Xiaozhu said very quickly, and just wanted to send this person away quickly.
It's really stingy, isn't it just a few pieces of sesame cake, as if robbing her of gold, Song Ting pouted, licked all the sesame seeds left on his fingertips with his tongue, patted off the puff pastry crumbs in his hand, and threw a wink at the little girl, "Thank you." With that, he shook his body and walked away.
Xiaozhu was stunned to look at the slender figure that was gradually disappearing under the flying flowers, and immediately walked towards Jialan Courtyard when he came back to his senses.
The blue waves ripple with the spring breeze, blowing a shallow layer of water waves, carrying the lotus leaves of the wheel undulating, the red carp hiding under the lotus leaves with a handful of bait sprinkled in, tossed a body, and surged towards the edge of the pond in groups. Song Yuyan held the cloth bag containing fish food and looked at the fish in the water with empty eyes, as if he had something on his mind, his face was sad, and Xiaozhu had not yet noticed it when he entered the courtyard.
"Miss, the chicken soup is here, let's drink it while it's hot."
Song Yuyan blinked, silently handed the cloth bag to Xiaozhu's hand, and sat on the chair with fox fluff cushions, her body was weak, and she was afraid of cold since she came out of her mother's womb.
The porcelain spoon scooped the bowl and made a crisp sound, Xiaozhu saw that Miss was depressed these days, and comforted her softly: "Xu is Gu Gongzi is too busy these days, and when he has more time, he will come to see Miss." ”
Song Yuyan reluctantly raised a faint smile, but his eyes were misty, "He's an idle man, and when he can still be busy, he just doesn't like to come to me." ”
"Don't worry, Miss, you snatched that piece of his beloved jade pendant, Gu Gongzi will definitely come to the door to ask for it." Xiaozhu's eyes fell on the plate of sesame cakes on the table, and he remembered what happened to Fang Cai, and said: "Miss, on the way back, I met the woman from Lanting Courtyard, who spoke and acted strangely. ”
Song Yuyan only has Gu Gongzi in his heart now, and he is not interested in others, so he just reluctantly snorted in response: "What's strange? ”
"She called me a beauty, and took a piece of this sesame cake that she knew was brought to the young lady to eat."
Song Yuyan was also slightly surprised, "Really? ”
"Xiaozhu didn't dare to lie, if it weren't for her face, I really thought it wasn't the same person."
Song Yuyan waved his hand, his eyebrows furrowed together, "That's it, there are few normal people who come back from the dead." ”
Seeing that Miss was extremely impatient, Xiao Zhu stopped talking and continued.
Song Ting finally arrived at the academy where her father was, roughly estimated that it had been nearly ten minutes, and seeing that the lights had been lit in the house, she quietly pushed the door in, and a man dressed in black, burly and tall, without the slightest weak bones that should be at this age, was standing behind the bookcase and writing freely.
She stood not far away: "Dad." ”
Song Cheng didn't raise his head when he heard this, but replied lightly: "Hmm." ”
Song Ting saw that he didn't mean to stop writing, so he went straight to a chair under the window and sat down. As soon as his buttocks were touched, Song Chengquan raised his head, and his eyes pierced into Song Ting's eyes like cold thorns.
I don't know if it was the majesty of the middle-aged man in front of him, or the natural fear of calling him a father when he went to the countryside, Song Ting's forehead silently formed a thin layer of sweat, and he stiffened his back and didn't dare to move.
"Who allowed you to sit down?"
Song Cheng threw the pen on the rice paper and smashed out a splash of ink, the slight movement made Song Ting tremble, and immediately got up and stood in front of this father in a military posture.
"Don't dare again!"
The eldest husband can bend and stretch out on the rivers and lakes to mingle without suffering, she has always believed in this sentence, so she said in a loud voice.
The whole academy could hear the movement in the house, and even the people who were cleaning the courtyard stopped their brooms and peeked into the house.
This time it was Song Cheng's turn to be shocked, but it was only for a moment, her face immediately sank like a dark night, and her handsome face, although she was not declining, was fierce under the candlelight, she meditated in her heart, her father was so good-looking, and her eldest sister was also like a flower and jade, but Song Ting was facing the general.
Catch everything bad, what an unlucky kid.
"Since there is nothing wrong with your body, you can know for yourself, don't think about hanging yourself, our Song family has been disgraced by you, it's not enough, isn't it!" Song Cheng started a fire that was extremely terrifying.
Song Ting kept his head down and didn't dare to look him into the eyes, but he just said again and again, "Yes, yes, yes." ”
"I heard you have amnesia?" Song Cheng's face darkened.
"Yes, Dad."
"I'll see the doctor tomorrow." Song Cheng's tone was flat, without the slightest worry or anxiety about his daughter's amnesia.
Song Cheng picked up the pen again and rolled the ink in the inkstone, "Go back." ”
Song Ting was about to bow blessedly, when the words of the jujube suddenly flashed in his mind, his eyes rolled, he clenched his sleeves and closed his eyes, and began to cry sadly and movingly.
The defenseless sobbing and choking made Song Cheng surprised and annoyed, he was the most annoying woman crying in his life, and the buzzing made his brain hurt.
"What are you crying about!" Song Cheng roared.
Song Ting's body trembled, and the tears that had been squeezed out so hard were so frightened that he rolled back, so he had to continue to cover half of his face with his sleeves, squeezing his throat, "My daughter has something to ask for." ”
"Say!"
"Wake up these three days on the mind in a trance, weak and powerless, every time the Taoist priest to exorcise evil comes, there will always be nightmares at night, I feel like there are ghosts floating around in the house, scared all night can not sleep peacefully, but also ask my father to be the master, don't let the Taoist priest come to our Song Mansion again, I heard that the Taoist priest is out to exorcise ghosts and catch demons all the year round, the body is not very clean, what if you bring some ominous things into the Song family, what should I do, woo woo woo ......"
At the mention of the word Taoist, sure enough, Song Cheng's face darkened, "Who invited it?" ”
"Aunt and sister." Song Ting's tone was slow and clear, and he hurriedly added a sentence as soon as he fell, "Although they are all for Ting'er's good, but ...... I'm so scared of ghosts......"
Song Cheng calmed the anger in his chest, and his face was like a piece of heavy iron, "You go back first." ”
Song Ting lowered his head and smiled slyly, and immediately blessed himself, pretending to be aggrieved: "Dad will definitely make the decision for me." With that, he withdrew.
Song Ting closed the door, secretly glanced sideways at the study, and forced a smile to walk back to Lan Ting Garden.
Zao Zao was setting up dinner, and saw Song Ting coming back with a gloating smile.
"What are you talking about, sir, young lady is happy to be like this?"
"Nothing." Song Ting looked at the dishes on the table with green eyes, and frowned: "Why is there no meat?" ”
Zao Zao sighed, "Miss once said that she likes to be a vegetarian, and Lan Tingyuan hasn't eaten meat for a long time." ”
"It's not a monk, what kind of vegetarian diet, you go to the kitchen tomorrow and tell them that they must have meat for every meal."
A trace of astonishment flashed in Zaozao's eyes, "Okay...... Target...... Miss. ”
In the evening, Song Cheng had dinner in Juhongyuan, sat at the desk and prepared to present the recital to the saint, and Liu came in with a bowl of hot medicine.
"Master, don't worry about the headache these days, there are other adults busy with the flood."
Song Cheng ignored her, and when he raised his head, his black eyes were like torches, like a fire burning on Liu's body.
Liu's voice trembled, and the hand holding the bowl broke out in a layer of fine cold sweat, "What's wrong...... Master? ”
"I heard that you have invited Taoist priests to come to the Song Mansion for several days in a row?"
Liu's heart trembled, but his face was extremely calm: "Yes, Xiao Wu came back from the dead, I want to ......"
Boom! Song Cheng took the case and scolded loudly: "Have you forgotten the family rules of the Song Mansion!" As a big lady, she messes around in the house all day long, what does it look like! ”
Liu immediately grabbed Song Cheng's arm, and the anger piled up in his chest, "Master Mo Qi, I am also for Xiao Wuhao, since the Lord is not allowed, it will be okay if you don't look for a Taoist priest next time, it will hurt your body a lot." ”
Song Cheng glanced at the woman beside him, "Leave the affairs of the house to Wang Shu to worry about recently, it's enough for you to be tired of taking care of this and that at home on weekdays." ”
Liu's hand froze, his heart seemed to fall into an icy pool, and he swished into his body, even if he didn't want to, he had to endure it.
After Song Cheng fell asleep, Liu quietly went out and walked to Song Yuxin's house.
Song Yuxin was ready to fall asleep under the maid's service, but saw her mother suddenly come in. The dignified eyebrows looked more and more serious, and he sat on the chair silently, and Song Yuxin came out of the inner room with a coat.
"Mother, don't you sleep so late?"
Liu rubbed his eyebrows and instructed his subordinates: "Go and make a bowl of tea." ”
Song Yuxin put the freshly simmering stove in Liu's hand, "What's wrong, mother?" ”
Liu snorted coldly, his eyes were thick and dark, he took the tea brought by the maid with one hand, opened the tea lid, the heat floated on his face, and the lack of heat did not penetrate the frost on his face, "Song Ting's cheap girl actually complained to your father." ”
has always known that Song Ting is a soft temperament, and no matter how much he bullied him, he didn't seem to be angry, Song Yuxin couldn't believe it, "How could she have that guts?" ”
"Humph! Isn't she bold enough now? Liu Shi recalled the scene in the morning, and couldn't help gritting his teeth: "Your father is so angry that he won't let me take care of the family affairs of the Song Mansion." ”
"Handed over to Jialan Yuan?"
Liu Shi nodded, and put the cup on the table, "Song Ting has lost her memory, and the one who can let her sue must be the little maid next to her, who looks timid on weekdays, but I didn't expect this to come again." ”
"This is the cheap one in Jialan Garden." Song Yuxin's eyes were full of ridicule, and he held Liu's hand: "That Wang Shu is just the daughter of a debt-ridden businessman, and the rights of the inner garden of the Song Mansion will eventually return to her mother." ”
After listening to his daughter's comfort, Liu's cold heart warmed slightly, straightened the crooked hairpin on his bun, and reshaped his face, "I have nothing to worry about, it's just angry Lan Tingyuan's broken mouth!" ”
There was a piercing light in his eyes, and Song Yuxin raised his arrogant eyebrows with a faint ruthlessness: "It's time to take care of these lawless maids." ”
