Chapter 1: The Winter Solstice Festival (2)
The distance between the ancestral hall and the Jade Mansion is not far, but the distance of a few alleys, the first time I saw it, I didn't have time to observe the delicate relationship between Mrs. Yu and Master Yu, the carriage had slowly stopped, and before I got off the car, I heard Aunt Chen's crisp voice outside at the first sight.
Seeing Madame Yu's face even more pale and indifferent at first sight, Master Yu left Madame Yu's arms and looked at Madame Yu with a lingering gaze.
"Here we are, sir." Madame Jade spoke lightly.
"Whoa...... Can't you forgive me? Master Yu's voice couldn't hide the pain and begging.
"Master, you're drunk, go back and rest." Mrs. Yu asked the little maid to help Master Yu out of the carriage, and Liniang, who had been waiting outside the car for a long time, was busy helping Mrs. Yu and Chujian get out of the car.
Aunt Chen was wearing a bright red peony loose flower dress, she swayed her bewitching figure, and helped Master Yu, Master Yu turned his head, glanced at Mrs. Yu with bitter eyes, sighed, and helped her into the house under Aunt Chen's diligent care.
Madam Yu looked at their backs coldly and looked at Chu Mi, "Chu Shi, today is your birthday, but he never remembered. ”
Chujian snuggled into Mrs. Yu's arms, "Mother, daughter doesn't mind. "Her birthday is on the winter solstice, everyone is busy with this festival that is bigger than the New Year, how can she remember her birthday, she doesn't mind, but it doesn't mean that Xiaoyu doesn't mind when she first sees it.
"I've wronged you, and you can't even wear the new clothes your mother gave you today." Lady Jade's smile grew colder and colder.
The sky was full of stars, the snow on the ground illuminated the darkness of the night, and the cold wind was as cold as a knife piercing the bone marrow.
Today, because of the ancestors, all the women who enter the ancestral hall are not allowed to wear bright clothes, and they don't think there is anything about this at first sight.
"Mother, let's go in." First sight.
Madame Jade nodded, and took Hatsumi's hand into the hall.
Master Yu was drinking hangover tea under the service of Aunt Chen, Yu Xueling stood in front of Master Yu with a soft and well-behaved smile, holding a scroll of paintings with ink in her hand, and her voice was charming, "Father, you look at your daughter's painting, today's winter solstice, my daughter drew a picture of Jiujiu to send to my father, I wish my father all the best next year." "On the picture scroll, there is a plum blossom, and nine hundred and eighty-one flowers are outlined in plain ink.
This is the custom of the ancients, the winter solstice hangs the ninety-nine cold map, meaning to eliminate the cold and usher in spring.
Master Yu smiled appreciatively, looking at Yu Xueling's gaze, he felt a little more sorry and pity.
"Also, this is the Spring Festival couplet." Yu Xueling's smile became more and more soft.
Outside the door, Madame Jade sneered on her lips.
Aunt Chen turned her head and was stunned for a moment, before she laughed exaggeratedly, "Sister, you are also here." ”
When I first saw it, I felt my mother's hand tremble, and this Aunt Chen really had no one in her eyes.
Master Yu's bitter gaze explored on Mrs. Yu's face, as if she was expecting, Mrs. Yu glanced at Aunt Chen lightly, "It's late at night, master rest early, and the concubine will retire." ”
"...... Yu" Master Yu hurriedly got up and strode to Mrs. Yu, "I'll send you back to Xiuhe Courtyard." ”
Behind her, Aunt Chen's eyes were filled with moisture, and she glared at Mrs. Yu with jealousy.
Mrs. Yu didn't seem to hear it, lowered her head, and her voice came out, "No need, the master still accompanies my sister, my sister must have waited for the master for a long time today." ”
"Qi Jiao, what do you want? Don't go too far! Master Yu's patience was finally exhausted, his trembling fingers pointed at Mrs. Yu, his elegant and handsome face turned red, and his eyes were also red.
The corners of Mrs. Yu's eyebrows raised, and she held the hand she saw for the first time even harder, "The master is drunk." ”
"Qi Jiao, you...... You ......" Old Man Yu was so angry that his eyes darkened, and he staggered back a few steps, Aunt Chen was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Father, be careful." Hatsumi couldn't help but speak.
"Get out, get out!" Master Yu looked at the eyes of the first time with resentment and hatred, and angrily told them to get out of the way.
Mrs. Yu smiled miserably, her eyes were misty, as beautiful and noble as pear blossoms, Mrs. Yu's eyes swept before the first meeting, and then looked at Aunt Chen, who had been smiling and watching the play, and then looked at Yu Xueling, who was expressionless, slowly, Mrs. Yu opened a bright smile, that smile was so firm and resolute, as if she finally remembered something.
"Yunsheng, Yunsheng......" Mrs. Yu's voice was like a tongue, and before she could hear it clearly, the voice was already curling.
Master Yu was shocked, and pushed away Aunt Chen with one hand, his face was moved, "...... it"
Madame Jade's smile faded away, turned around, and led Hatsumi away.
At first glance, I was surprised that Mrs. Jade had more influence on Master Jade than she imagined. Behind him, there was a roar from Master Yu, with pain and despair in his voice, "Qi Jiao, you come back, come back!" "What does she mean by this, what is she here!"
Aunt Chen whispered comfortingly, but at first sight, she could still hear the loss and jealousy in her tone.
When she first saw her head up, the cold wind swept in, and there were water droplets on her face, and when she reached out to wipe it, crystal tears of broken threads fell on Mrs. Yu's face.
Back in Xiuhe Courtyard, Mrs. Yu only let Chujian stay by her side, and both Liniang and Lingyu were sent out.
Mrs. Yu leaned on the soft couch, the tears on her beautiful face like pear blossoms had disappeared, and when she first saw her beside her, she knew that she was always uncomfortable, and her mother finally called her father's name...... It's on purpose, it's because I'm hurt, that's why I deliberately want my father to be angry, and I deliberately want my father to blame her, right?
"When you first see you, you don't have to ask for prosperity and wealth when you marry in the future, as long as he treats you wholeheartedly, it's enough." Madame Jade suddenly spoke in a quiet voice.
Hatsumi nodded, "My daughter understands"
Mrs. Yu's smile was a little pale, and she looked at the first meeting with pity and no longer spoke.
"Mother, today is her daughter's birthday, and my mother hasn't told her daughter happy birthday yet." At first sight, she smiled sweetly and coquettishly, and her voice was sweet and coquettish.
Madame Jade smiled, "The more I grow up, the more my mind is full of ghostly thoughts. ”
"Say, say," Hatsumi pulled Madame Jade's sleeve and pouted.
"Okay, first meeting, happy birthday." Madame Jade said with a smile.
Chu Tian smiled at first sight, raised his head, and kissed Mrs. Yu on the cheek, "Thank you, mother"
Mrs. Yu was stunned for a moment, and there was still the sweet and tender taste of the first sight between her noses.
"Mother, shall I sing you a little song?" Hatsumi said suddenly.
"You can still sing?" Madame Jade was surprised.
"Well, I heard it in the teahouse." At first sight, her expression was serious, she stood up, pulled open her skirt, opened her small mouth, and sang.
"If I hadn't met you, where would I be? How is life going, and should life be cherished? Maybe I know someone and live an ordinary life, I don't know if it will, but there is also love as sweet as honey? Let time pass in a hurry, I only care about you, I am willing to infect your breath, how can I get a confidant in life? It is not a pity to lose the power of life. So I beg you, don't let me leave you, except for you, I can't feel a trace of affection, let time pass in a hurry, I only care about you, and willingly infect your breath. ”
When she first saw her sweet voice and sang this song that she often heard her mother hum when she was a child, she didn't know why, and a deep sense of sadness suddenly rose in her heart, for the first time, she missed everything in modern times so much.
looked at Mrs. Jade and was stunned at first sight. Madame Yu's face was pale, tears flowed down her face, and her eyes fell on the window and she didn't know where, "If I didn't meet you...... If...... If ......"
"Mother's ......" felt guilty at first sight, and she provoked her mother's sadness.
Madame Yu raised a brilliant smile and whispered, "What is the limit of the light cold and drizzle, it is difficult to manage the spring." It doesn't matter if you are drunk, you are only afraid that when you wake up, you will break people's intestines. ”
