Chapter 32: Untitled
"Sister Xiaodong, look, this matter ......"
Xiao Dong shrank back.
Shen Qiang also moved awkwardly.
"It's ......"
Xiao Dongya closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.
In fact, Shen Qiang's meaning goes without saying, she also understands.
But understanding is understanding. Between friends, between sisters, if there is something that can help, of course, you have to help. But Xiao Dong won't admit this matter for her.
It's just something else, if Shen Qiang broke something, offended someone, or even caused something else, anyway, she is a child, and it's okay to help her admit it. But this thing...... Xiaodong, as a physical toddler and a psychological adult, made her admit that she wet the bed - it doesn't matter what others say or think, she can't pass this level by herself in the first place.
Shen Qiang also knows that Xiao Dong is young, but it doesn't mean that she is ignorant. She's just a little less talkative, but it's a bit ...... to coax her to help herself recognize this matter
The two of them sat there staring at each other, but the problem will not disappear because you drag it out. The mattress was wet, and Shen Qiang's body was also wet, which was very uncomfortable. I can't sleep anymore.
Shen Qiang's eyes became redder and redder, and the tears really came as soon as they were said, and they began to fall downward. The corners of his mouth twitched......
Xiao Dong immediately made a decision and shouted outside: "Someone." ”
Hongying, who was on duty at night, immediately responded: "What does the county lord command?" ”
"Change the futon...... Xiao Dong paused, and then said, "I still need clothes." ”
Hongying immediately showed the professional quality and ability of the big maid of the palace, without asking a word, quickly and steadily instructed the little maid to change the bedding, take the copper kettle to warm the quilt, and take out the small clothes from the cabinet and put them on the smoker to iron them warm, serve Xiaodong and Shen Qiang to change their clothes, and pour a small cup of white water for each of them more considerately.
Looking at the glass of water, Shen Qiang's face changed dramatically and shook her head again and again, and Xiao Dong rinsed Hongying's hand. Hongying served them to lie down again, took away the changed bedding and clothes, and didn't say a single superfluous word from beginning to end, without glancing at their faces, let alone any special meaning in their eyes.
Xiao Dong lay down comfortably again, the quilt became warm and dry again, and he tossed - although it was someone else's toss, Xiao Dong also felt tired.
But not after lying down for a while, I listened to Shen Qiang sobbing and crying quietly over there.
Xiao Dong sighed in his stomach, but when he finished sighing, his ears were still tormented by the thin continuous crying.
"Don't cry."
Shen Qiang's cry paused, sniffed, and the cry continued to sound.
"They must have thought it was me." Xiao Dong said: "Don't cry, go to sleep." ”
Shen Qiang is still muttering, well, crying, giving Xiao Dong the feeling of being frozen and leaking in winter, dripping, answering, not dry, not crisp, not fast, not slow, and like a chick that has been killed and left there, struggling, bleeding and choking, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
"What the hell are you crying about?"
Are you still crying when everything is settled? She wanted to cry.
Shen Qiang whispered, "Thank you...... Thank you ......."
Well, one more thank you than thank you, which is a thank you and a half.
Xiao Dong still wanted to sigh: "Don't cry, Hongying and the others won't say it, and others won't know." ”
"I know...... Woohoo......"
"And you're still crying?"
Shen Qiang sobbed and said breathlessly: "Pillow, pillow is wet......"
Xiao Dong lay down sullenly, exhaled, inhaled, and after a while, he opened the tent and shouted: "Hongying, come and change the pillow!" ”
This one...... It is estimated that what can be called a bedwetting incident is not as serious as Shen Qiang thought.
Xiaodong didn't know why she was afraid, because Shen Qiang didn't tell her that she had such a time when she was at home last time, and she was punished by her mother, not to mention, and she couldn't get out of the house for almost the whole winter, not only because her mother punished her for copying scriptures to be a female celebrity, but also because she didn't want to go out herself.
The Shen family is a big family, and those sisters, brothers, relatives and sisters-in-law who are far or near...... The relationship between everyone is not as harmonious as it seems, and her story was spread out somehow, and several younger sisters who were younger than her clapped their hands and laughed at her behind her back, laughing so much that she was embarrassed.
And in Anwangfu, it is completely different.
When she got up the next morning to wash, Shen Qiang lowered her head and no one dared to look at it, but everyone's attitude was the same as always, neither cold nor disdainful ridicule, nor overly enthusiastic pandering, which made people feel uneasy.
It's like nothing happened last night.
Xiaodong's attitude was also down-to-earth and generous, and he drank half a bowl of porridge and ate a piece of peach blossom cake in the morning.
"Sister Qiang, you can also taste it, this is delicious."
The peach cake has a peach fragrance, and the color is as fresh as the early summer peach, and the peach blossom pattern is printed on it.
Shen Qiang took a bite, it was indeed delicious, it was soft and melted in the mouth, and she swallowed it without chewing.
Midday...... At night......
The day passed smoothly and steadily, so stable that Shen Qiang couldn't believe it.
It seems that no one but herself takes this as a thing.
The sky has not fallen, the sun and the moon have rotated as usual, the food has to be eaten, and the days have to pass. Shen Qiang pondered for several days, and finally put aside all this trouble.
Since others don't take it seriously, she doesn't have to get along with herself.
This is the capital, it is the palace of King An, which is different from the Shen family in Hedong.
The house here is spacious and bright, the fire is burning, the house is warm, and you will sweat when you wear a jacket. It's not like the Shen family, those blue brick bricks and wooden beams and pillars will be damp again and again in winter, and the house will be dark and damp at all times, and there is only one charcoal basin in a room, so the sisters will move the charcoal basin to one room to do embroidery work in winter. The food I eat every day is already cold when I come from the big kitchen, and I can't find hot food when I'm hungry, so I can only get some hot water to soak some hard cakes to fill my stomach. The cakes, without exception, were brought from the great kitchen, and were as cold and hard as stones, with not even a pitiful icing on them.
If you do something wrong in the Shen family, what awaits you is layers of reprimands and punishments. Penalties include starvation, kneeling, copying, and beating......
Shen Qiang came back to her senses, she was stunned for a long time, she didn't write a few words, and the ink was dry.
Xiao Dong was practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke, her face was red, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
Outside the window, Yao Jinfeng's crisp laughter like silver bells came closer.
Shen Qiang put down the pen.
As soon as this eldest sister comes in, don't think about practicing words or anything.
