Chapter 1: Dream Back
There was fine snow in the sky, and the yellow river was boundless, and she was struggling in the water, trying in vain to catch something, trying to breathe freely again, but all she got was the cold river water from between her mouth and nose and into her lungs, like ten thousand steel needles piercing into it, stabbing painfully, painful to numbness...... Lin Jinrong smiled desolate between the ups and downs.
It may have been fate, but she didn't deserve to die, and Lychee didn't deserve to die, if it weren't for the ungrateful people who abandoned them, if it weren't for the fact that the man was gone, she shouldn't have fallen to this point - throwing herself into the river so that she would not be insulted by the bandits. She didn't understand why she was sincere and heartfelt to them, but in the end, she became the one who was outcast?
A wave hit, her eyes were dark, and she didn't bother to move a finger, so be it. In a trance, she seemed to hear someone calling her name, but she was too lazy to open her eyes, who would be? It's just an illusion, even he has already left her alone, who cares about her life or death.
Lin Jinrong woke up from a nightmare, dripping with cold sweat and sweating through his clothes. She desperately grabbed the cold silk quilt under her and gasped for air, as if trying to get all the breaths that had been delayed just now. After a dozen gasps in a row, she realized that she was still on the small carved and lacquered bed in her mother's house, she was just dreaming, she was still alive. She let go of her stiff hand and slumped on the bed, counting her still pounding heartbeat in the dark.
…… Her heart never stopped, she reminded herself that she was alive and well, God had mercy, and when she woke up, she was back when she was a child, and she still had a chance before everything happened.
"Is the girl having nightmares again?" The nursing mother, Mama Gui, carefully put the blue porcelain oil lamp in her hand on the table, hung the half-old rain-soaked azure yarn tent on the silver hook, and looked at Lin Jinrong in the tent.
In the half-light and half-darkness, Lin Jinrong's eyes were bright, with some panic and dazedness on her face, and a few strands of broken hair on her forehead were soaked in cold sweat, and they were wet and sticking to her smooth forehead, making her already white goose egg face even whiter.
Although Mama Gui didn't see her answer, she knew that she did have a nightmare, so she couldn't help sighing slightly, and only touched her hand, and went to get her clothes familiarly, and called the girl Lychee who was listening with stunned ears outside: "Lychee, take the hot water on the stove and wipe the girl's body." I'm all drenched in sweat. ”
The girl Lychee also put on her clothes, brought hot water in, neatly filled the brass basin with hot water, took a fragrant cloth towel and soaked it, and stepped forward to help Mama Gui scrub and change clothes for Lin Jinrong.
Lin Jinrong sat up obediently, silently undressed and scrubbed by them, the hot cloth towel was wiped on her body, and after the comfort, it was slightly cool, she gradually stopped shaking, and her heartbeat calmed down.
Mama Gui wiped the cold sweat on Lin Jinrong's body and asked her with concern: "Girl, what did you dream about just now?" It's pitiful to be scared like this. ”
Lin Jinrong pursed his pale red lips, and it took a long time before he whispered: "I don't dream at night." ”
Lychee and Mama Gui glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Lychee lowered her head and tied the strap of the dirty clothes for Lin Jinrong, and said with a smile: "Girl, let Mama Gui tell you a story." ”
In fact, it is also worried that Lin Jinrong will be scared, and then have nightmares, so that Mama Gui will sleep with her. It's just that Lin Jinrong has a good face, the Lin family has strict rules, and as early as when she was four years old, the nurse couldn't sleep with her, so she used such euphemisms.
Lin Jinrong looked up at Lychee, his eyes were extremely complicated. Lychee is two years older than her, silent and steady, white and clean, and her nose is even more beautiful. Lychee has been by her side since Lin Jinrong just remembered, her playmate and her maid, and later, everyone left her, only Lychee accompanied her until she died, if it weren't for Lychee, she wouldn't even have a chance to jump into the river to die.
Lychee was a little embarrassed by Lin Jinrong's straight eyes, touched her cheeks with a smile, shook her hand in front of Lin Jinrong, and said, "What are the four girls looking at?" Could it be that he hasn't woken up yet, and he can't recognize the slave? "The girls and young masters of the Lin family are ranked according to the clan, so although Lin Jinrong is the second daughter of the third room, she has to be called the fourth girl in order.
How could she not recognize it? She remembers it so well. Lychee, I want to treat you well, in this life, I will never let you suffer that kind of hardship again. Lin Jinrong retracted his gaze, a faint smile appeared on his lips, he lay down silently, straightened out the hair scattered on the pillow, and said softly: "Grandmother's birthday, everyone will be busy tomorrow, don't be sloppy, you go to sleep, just leave me a lamp." ”
Mama Gui glanced at Lychee worriedly again, and said softly: "Girl, you ......" Since the girl gave birth to that illness half a month ago, she always has nightmares at night, crying and shouting, and she is quiet when she lights the lamp. I thought she was getting better, so I listened to the third wife's intention to put out the lights, and I thought she would have nightmares again immediately.
Lin Jinrong closed his eyes a little tiredly: "I'm not small, I have a number." ”
Although she is only twelve years old, she is indeed not a little girl. Mama Gui had no choice but to leave her the lamp, put down the tent, and retreated lightly with Lychee, and when the door was covered, Mama Gui said softly: "It's terrible to go on like this, seeing that the green shadow under the girl's eyes is getting heavier and heavier, and people have no energy." In my opinion, I am afraid that I will be very frightened that day, and I must talk to the third wife and think of another useful way. Saying that, he cursed a few words in a low voice: "The second wife is really, Da Bai Qingtian does that kind of immoral thing, and she doesn't know how to cover it up, which frightened our four girls." ”
Lin Jinrong's eyelids moved slightly.
Mama Gui is talking about the fourth young master who has not yet married in the second room - her fourth cousin enlarged the belly of the girl next to the second wife, and the second wife beat the fetus with a bowl of medicine, but she never cleaned it up, and she happened to be bumped into by Lin Jinrong, which frightened her. In the previous life, she was in a trance for nearly a month, and the family invited a doctor and God again, but this time, she was not afraid of that thing, this kind of thing is nothing compared to the things she encountered later! Those who have witnessed the chaos know what it means to be like a mustard!
I only heard Lychee sigh: "It's difficult for the wife, and the third master doesn't care." ”
Lin Jinrong's own father, Lin Sanye, doesn't care about anything, he is a scattered immortal, and the fourth girl was frightened like this, he just came to see it twice in response to the situation. The third wife, Tao, has a strong personality, can't rub sand in her eyes, doesn't know how to bow her head, the husband and wife are resentful couples, and they have never been together for ten sentences.
Mama Gui sighed heavily, was silent for a moment, but said excitedly to Lychee: "Have you heard?" Mrs. Gu will be back tomorrow. She said in a gloating tone, "You said that it has been several years, and I don't know if her successor young master has been raised." The kid was a little too old when he passed away. ”
"No matter how old he is, it's just a child, it's been six or seven years since he left, as long as Mrs. Gu is good to him, people's hearts are flesh and blood, I'm afraid it's almost the same." Lychee replied in a low voice.
Lin Jinrong was almost numb and silent: "No, Lu Mian will never be fed." He only has himself and his biological parents in his heart, and there is no one else. ”
As soon as she thought of Lu Xuan, Lin Jinrong's heart felt uncomfortable, she tried her best to think about other things, and she didn't want to think about this name and everything related to this name. She looked at the celadon oil-saving lamp on the table through the half-old gauze tent, and desperately thought, when she was younger, the family used copper lamps or candles, and then her grandfather was idle, and her father did not stand out in his generation. Up and down, you can only use this celadon fuel-saving lamp, which can save half of the oil compared to the copper lamp.
She sighed softly, sure enough, one generation is not as good as the next. So at that time, when she got that marriage, the sisters in the family were still envious, and she thought it was a good marriage...... Splendid relationship, sneer...... Why do you remember this again? She scoffed and shook her head unconsciously. If she remembers correctly, Lu Mian is also coming tomorrow, and it will be the first time she and he have met since they grew up. Tomorrow, Lin Jinrong's heart suddenly became a little angry, and his teeth bit his lip painfully.
Although she had a lot of things on her mind, she was young, and soon felt that the lamp was getting more and more dim, farther and farther away, and gradually, she fell asleep. This time, she slept soundly.
As soon as the sun showed half of its head, a slender figure carried a pot and gently pushed open the carved door, filled the copper basin by the window with hot water, walked to the bed, opened the tent, and put a slightly cool hand into the lotus-colored silk quilt to remove the ice Lin Jinrong, who was still asleep.
Lin Jinrong woke up with a stirring spirit, squinted his eyes and looked vigilantly at the pretty face in front of him, with a hint of impatience and ridicule flashing in his eyes, but the corners of his lips gently curved a good-looking arc: "Longan." ”
The girl Longan is the biological daughter of Mama Gui, and Lin Jinrong grew up eating Mama Gui's milk, and she has been by Lin Jinrong's side since she was a child. Therefore, Guiyuan's attitude towards Lin Jinrong can be said to be so intimate that it is beyond the affection of the ordinary master and servant, and Lin Jinrong's treatment of her is also beyond the affection of the master and servant, and he wants to find a good future for her. However, it is such a longan, but in the end, he is such an ungrateful and greedy person.
