Xia Xia entered the Jade Pavilion for the first time, looked around curiously, and as soon as the circle saw us, he screamed: "Miss, Miss, that Boss Yan is here again!" ”

Xia Xia muttered: "This circle, you don't have a brain? ”

I laughed, pushed her and said, "Other people's yards, don't talk like that." ”

There was the sound of footsteps upstairs, and I remember that the floor upstairs was covered with a heavy carpet, and it was still possible to step on such a loud sound, and this circle was really unsightly.

Soon the circle appeared in front of my eyes, and said, "Miss, please go in quickly, and I will go to the kitchen to prepare some food for you." "Anyway, we went straight up the stairs and went out, without waiting for us to finish the last staircase.

Xia Xia turned her head to look at the back that disappeared in a mess, and whispered, "Wonderful." ”

As soon as I got upstairs, I heard Zheng Zhuzhu's faint but happy voice: "Why are you here?" No one even noticed me - I was still in bed, my head was dirty and I hadn't made up, and it was rude. ”

Xia Xia lifted the curtain for me, and I walked in with a smile: "It's all so familiar, what else is not rude, you haven't seen my ghost look less." ”

Zheng Zhuzhu's long hair was unbundled and quietly draped at his side, long like cotton wool scattered on the quilt, his face was still very pale, but with a touching smile, his eyes were full of light.

Xia Xia said with a smile: "Although I am sick, my spirit is not bad - it is so dark, the sun outside is good, the curtain is open to see the light, and it is good to smell the sun." ”

Zheng Zhuzhu leaned on the cushion and said: "Well, I said the same thing, the circle is afraid of this and that, but he refuses." ”

"That circle, every time I talk to her, I want to pinch her." Xia Xia is a rectum, and he doesn't have to hide his words when he is not in the circle, he said it to the point.

Zheng Zhuzhu laughed breathlessly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, my illness, I think half of it was because of her." ”

Xia Xia opened the curtain, and the sunlight poured in like water, and it felt so good, as if it washed away a lot of gray breath at once.

I sat down on the chair next to the bed, and after a day, I suddenly felt that Zheng Zhuzhu was as close as his sick sister, and now he was laughing and panting on the hospital bed without makeup, and there was a lot of innocence and innocence.

"I'm so happy to see you in such good spirits. You see, we were afraid that you would be bored with your illness, so we brought a lot of gadgets to show you. ”

Zheng Zhuzhu stroked his chest, sat up straight, looked at the box Xia Xia brought over and said, "What treasures did you bring with you - you came to see me, my mother didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, Madame said we could come as we want—I just ran into her downstairs—"

"Mother downstairs? - Where? ”

"It's just in the small courtyard downstairs, didn't she come to see you?"

Zheng Zhuzhu lowered his head and sighed lightly: "She is still blaming me and refuses to come to see me." ”

I wondered, "What do you blame?" ”

Zheng Zhuzhu's eyes were already filled with tears, and Minglang's smile instantly withered on her face: "The words I said when I woke up made her feel cold—I know that she has been trying to be a good mother for so many years, from weakness and concession to strength and strictness, everything is for me." I don't know when it started, I figured out some of the words in the previous quarrel, I knew that I was not her biological child, but I never minded, she did better than all biological mothers, it was I who lived up to her good intentions, only thought of herself, and ignored her feelings......"

I opened the box, touched the careful moment on it, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are all still alive, and there is still a lot of time and opportunities, right?" ”

"Well, so I'll take good care of my illness and give her a good me."

"If only I could think like that."

Zheng Zhuzhu stared at my box and said, "This box is really beautiful, it wasn't bought in the market, right?" ”

"No, my dad made it himself, it's like—like the treasure chest your dad gave you, but of course the things in me are not as good as yours, they're all worthless gadgets."

Zheng Jewel smiled, of course she wouldn't think so.

Xia Xia helped me take out small things, very fine, small mirrors, small hairpins, small pebbles, and some beautiful little things that I picked up on the side of the road when I was a child, she pulled a small pull ring under the drawer, did not pull it out, and asked me: "Sister Fei, is there a small draw under this?" What's loaded, why can't it be opened? ”

I stared at the pull ring - Zheng Jewel's room lit a medicinal smoked lamp, which made my eyes a little drunk: "I don't know, a long time ago, I didn't know what I dropped into it, so I stuck the small drawer, I didn't dare to knock on it, I was afraid that the things inside would be broken, and I couldn't remember what was in it, so I didn't want to open it again." ”

Xia Xia was very persistent and said: "This is not good, it is too clogged, I thought that Sister Fei was hiding some little secret, it was tightly locked, it turned out that the drawer was broken - you chat, I will find something to pry open the small drawer, let's see what old treasure is hidden inside." ”

Zheng Zhuzhu nodded, and his curiosity was also very serious, and he said with a smile: "I comb the table and drawers with a lot of small hairpins and the like, you can take them casually, and give them to you if you have a favorite hairpin, don't be polite to me - I don't use them very much anyway." ”

Xia Xia smiled: "You don't have to send it to me, it's too expensive, and I'm afraid that there will be a burden on my neck if I wear it on my head." As he spoke, he hugged the box and tossed it away.

Zheng Zhuzhu looked at my pile of gadgets and asked me, "What is that little bamboo tube with big fingers?" It looks like a note, is there a note in it? ”

I smiled, picked up the small bamboo tube and said, "Just guess it, there is a small note, I haven't taken it out for a long time, I'm afraid I'll break the paper-" I opened the bamboo tube, took out the paper rolled into a small roll and handed it to Zheng Zhuzhu.

Zheng Zhu opened it and read out the words on the note: "Zi Jinmei." ”

"Yes, this is the name of the embroidery village given to me by Song Lingjian, I went to ask the gentleman in the school, saying that it was from an ancient word or something, I don't understand, but it sounds good, I asked Master Zhang to make the door plaque of the embroidery village according to this word."

"It turned out to be Miss Song, I said it was so special. Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart, even if I don't go, Zining will not make a sound. - It's really appropriate to use it as the name of your embroidery village - Miss Song's handwriting is also good-looking, sharp, long and strong, very similar to her. Zheng Jewel softly rolled up the note and said gently, "It's hard for you to keep it so carefully, if Miss Song knows, she will definitely be very moved." ”

"She's the kind of person who doesn't care about my little actions."

In addition to the notes in this note, I have collected some of the notes left by Song Lingjian for me before and after, tied with small red ropes, most of them are words like "go up the mountain for five days, don't come to me" and so on, it seems that I am impatient and afraid of my disturbance, but in fact, I am afraid of worrying.

Thinking like this, I think Song Lingjian is quite funny.

"It's open, it's open!" Xia Xia laughed and shouted, "I'll just say, how can it be difficult to get me, Sister Fei, look-" After that, Dada has already arrived at my side, and the drawer is indeed open.

I was also curious, so I pulled out the small pull tab and took out the contents -

Xia Xia said with a smile: "It turned out to be a little clay figure, hidden so deeply, what did you think it was - pinched so roughly, it must not be made by Uncle Yan, who is a good craft, Sister Fei, you pinched it yourself." ”

I stared at this little clay figure, it was indeed like Xia Xia said, it was not exquisite, it could even be said to be rough, the little finger was as high, there was a head, a face and clothes, all of which were separated by good colors. The eyes and nose were so faded that it was probably because they were placed face down, and some of the lines that protruded from the face had been smoothed out by the bottom wall of the drawer, and only the mouth drawn in vermilion could still be faintly seen. The clothes all over the body are very old colors, different shades, and some places still show their original mud color, and the time has passed so long, and many places have dried up and cracked - why is there such a small clay figure in my box drawer, why am I not impressed at all?

Xia Xia asked, because I had told her almost all of my little secrets, but she didn't know about this clay figure, let alone taking it out of this small box, she was even more curious: "Sister Fei, when is this clay figure?" What's the story? ”

I kept staring at the clay figurine, I really can't remember where this clay figurine came from, this can't be my father's pinch, is that what I pinched? I have loved butterflies since I was a child, and my paintings are painted with butterfly patterns, even if I pinch them, I will pinch a butterfly, why should I pinch a clay figure? And judging from the appearance and form of the clay figurines, it feels like a boy, how could I hide such a rough thing that wasn't given by my father in a drawer? Did I hide it?

I stared at the clay man's face, and suddenly felt that the scarlet mouth was smiling coldly at me, perhaps he was laughing at my ruthlessness, having abandoned it in the drawer for so many years—

I panicked and put the clay figure back in the box, "I don't remember, maybe it was too long ago, I need to think about it." ”

Xia Xia said: "It must be very important to be able to put it here." ”

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang, and we were all startled. Huanhuan shouted outside: "Miss, the dim sum is here, are they still there, Boss Yan?" ”

Zheng Zhuzhu took a few breaths, was frightened, and said, "Put the desk next to the door, you are waiting outside, you are not allowed to come in." ”

The circle came up stupidly and said, "Shouldn't it be cold on the desk?" What should you do if you choke on the dust? ”

Xia Xia said: "I'll go get it, save her Rosso." ”

I looked at Zheng Zhuzhu and saw that her eyes had begun to wander, and she had fallen asleep several times, as if she was tired and wanted to sleep, so she said: "It's almost time for us to sit for a while, you just woke up not long ago, you need to rest more, we should also go, next time I come to see you, I will definitely bring the letters you want to know." ”

Zheng Zhuzhu was also not polite, smiled and nodded, I helped her to lie down, she looked at me very quietly and smiled.

Xia Xia just brought the pastries, and I said to her, "The jewelry is going to rest, and we are almost going back." ”

Xia Xia nodded and gently placed the pastry on the table.

The smoke had pierced my eyes with tears, and I took out the prepared veil from my arms and said, "I've been open for too long, my eyes are a little tired, Xia Xia, you help me put the veil around my eyes, the wind is too strong and my eyes are a little sour." ”

Xia Xia hurriedly came over to help me tie my veil.

At this time, the sound of going up the stairs outside sounded, and there was more than one person listening to the sound.
