Chapter 14: I Have a Strange Smell in Me
Li Bei'er asked me if I was coming back from Xitou, and I nodded: "Yes, I've been helping Zheng Fu get happy things recently." β
Li Bei'er said: "No wonder, Zheng Fu has to pass through Xipo when he comes back, and you are dyed with the strange floral fragrance of Xipo Huayuan, of course you can't smell the faint strange way in the wind at this time." β
As soon as I talk about Xihuayuan, I think of the dead crows that fell to death on the roof of the sedan car and died under the wheels, Li Bottler smelled the strange smell on my body, but I couldn't smell it myself, just like everyone pointed to your face and said that there was dirt on your face but you couldn't see it, not to mention how much jumping, I immediately pulled Li Bottler and said: "What kind of strange smell?" Does it stink? Aunt Hong, do you smell it? β
Aunt Hong just looked at me strangely and slightly with horror.
I was a little scared, I had the guts to embroider the eye of a needle!
Li Bei'er comforted me and said, "It's okay, it's just that it smells dirty, and it will disperse when you walk." β
But I was so uncomfortable that I kept trying to smell my clothes, but I was afraid that something would make me tremble.
Aunt Hong soon helped me wrap a piece of tofu, and I habitually looked at her hands, the skin of the hands of people who make tofu all the year round should be very tender, but Aunt Hong's hands are very rough, and her body shape is very matched, her palms are also very large, and many of the palms are broken, and the cracked skin is waving in the wind.
Seeing that I was looking at her hand, Aunt Hong hurriedly withdrew her sleeve and lowered her head in embarrassment.
I smiled and said, "It's going to be autumn, it's dry, I have a lot of softening oil, I'll bring some to you next time." β
Aunt Hong shrunk her shoulders and nodded, looking at me with a cloudy gaze.
I smiled, put down the silver and said, "Let's go first, and leave me a bowl of tofu brain tomorrow morning." β
Aunt Hong smiled and nodded.
Li Bei'er held me and couldn't wait to go home, I laughed in my heart, why didn't she dislike the strange smell on my body now?
Li Bei'er pretended to be unhappy and said: "Why, I've been to a big family a few times, and you dislike us little people?" β
I smiled and said, "Where will it be, you don't know how bad it feels to be in that kind of place where there is an echo of a cough, and you don't even dare to breathe loudly!" β
Li Bei'er looked at me and said, "How could I not know, I am from a big family, compared to Mrs. Zheng, the Mrs. Zhao who I used to serve is simply inferior." β
I stuck out my tongue and said, "I almost forgot." β
Li Bei'er used to be the personal maid of the wife of the county official Lord Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao was a fierce, stingy and jealous person, and she knew how difficult it was to serve her when she thought about it.
Li Bei'er pinched my arm and asked me, "Tell me quickly, have you met that lady in the past few years?" β
I nodded: "Miss Zheng, I've seen it." Some happy things still have to pass her eyes. β
Li Bei'er became interested and asked me curiously, "What does it look like?" I only heard that there is a young lady in the Zheng Mansion, but I have never seen it. β
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Miss Zheng is very kind and beautiful, just like a lotus flower. β
Li Bei'er thought for a while and said, "I really can't see that a person as strict as Mrs. Zheng would have such a kind daughter." β
I said, "I think it's weird tooβyou see, before I left, Miss Zheng specially asked the kitchen to wrap me with the same dim sum as she ate herself, but it was delicious." β
Li Bei'er was greedy, and immediately snatched one, and said, "It smells fragrant, I'll taste it." As he spoke, he shoved it into his mouth, looking intoxicated.
I took the opportunity to ask her: "I only heard that Miss Zheng is going to get married, but I never know who she is going to marry, do you know who she is going to marry?" β
Li Bei'er closed her eyes and enjoyed the sweetness of the pastry, and said: "I heard that this is the doll that Master Zheng ordered with the son of Master Huang of Hongcun before, maybe it's almost time now, and I'm ready for a happy event." β
"Master Huang? Which Huang master in Hongcun? I only know that there is a Yang member in Liucun, but I don't know that there is also a Huang master in Hongcun who can be equal to the financial resources of Zheng Mansion? "I know that I know a lot about Zixu, especially these big families, there are only a handful.
Li Bei'er said: "Of course you don't know, Master Huang of Hongcun moved out more than 20 years ago, and you weren't born at that time." I heard that I went to the Imperial City of Kyoto and became a big official, but it was beautiful. However, he would occasionally come back to worship an ancestor and rarely interacted with the people in the town. β
"Oh, no wonder Master Zheng always runs to the Imperial City of Kyoto, it turns out that there is a friend who is a big official there - have you seen this Master Huang?"
Li Bei'er glanced at me: "What kind of identity am I, how can I see such a person, I have a free life and am already an ancestor who has accumulated virtue." β
I smiled: "What ancestors accumulate virtue, it is obviously Song Lingjian who accumulated virtue for you." β
At this time, we were all standing at the entrance of the alley where we were about to part ways, and Li Bei'er said: "I'm going this way, you, go home and quickly change your clothes, and get rid of the smell of this body, so as not to get sick from smoking." β
Looking at her enthusiastic and concerned face, I reluctantly took two snacks from the bag and stuffed them into her hands, and said, "Got it, take it and eat it, gluttonous girl!" β
Li Bei'er said with a smile: "It's not a girl, it's already a woman's family." β
Along the way, I nervously smelled what was on my clothes, and I didn't think much about the strange things I heard today.
As soon as I entered the alley, I heard Xia Xia shouting in the yard, and before I walked in, she had already run out, and said with a smile: "Sister Fei, this satin is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful red when I grow so big, it must be very expensive, right?" β
When I entered the hospital, I saw a place of joy red, and the whole yard was reflected in the sunlight as red as marital fat, which was extremely moving, and I couldn't help but squint my eyes and say, "It's all sent so soon, have you counted them all?" β
Xia Xia said: "That's right, that's right. β
I said, "Well, let's put it all away, I'm afraid of dust." β
Xia Xia said: "Such a beautiful satin, even if we can't afford it, can't we feast our eyes on it like this?" Just spread it like this, I like it so much, and I can let other guests see it. β
I hooked her nose and said, "When I was young, I liked this wedding red satin, why, I also want to marry someone?" β
Xia Xia wrinkled her nose and said, "Who said that if you want to marry, I won't marry, is Sister Fei willing to let me marry?" β
I smiled and said, "If you can't bear it, you have to be willing, I can't let you not marry just to let you stay with me, right?" β
Speaking of this, my heart soured, Xia Xia is no longer a little girl, especially this year, she has grown up very fast, she is neat, and several matchmakers who are familiar with her have begun to look at it, but I always say that she is still young...... I've always felt that I'm treating the people around me well, but I'm a person after all, and I have selfish intentions, and I can't bear it.
Xia Xia hit my forehead with her head, and said with a smile: "If you want to be beautiful, you want to marry me, I will not marry anyone for the rest of my life, and I will accompany Sister Fei." β
I laughed and said, "Child's words." β
Xia Xia stuck his waist and said seriously: "I'm serious." I have been by Sister Fei's side all my life to protect Sister Fei. β
I thought it was an excuse to keep her, but the thought of the day we were separated made me speechless.
Xia Xia suddenly remembered something and came over to me and asked: "I haven't asked Sister Fei what kind of man she wants to marry, look at which one is eye-catching in this town, Xia Xia will help you grab it even if she robs it." β
"Nonsense." I knocked her on the head, "What kind of ruffian do you think you are or the second ancestor, and you still want to learn how to rob people, and you are not ashamed?" β
Xia Xia stuck out her tongue: "For the sake of Sister Fei, I'm not afraid to kill Zang." β
"The more you talk, the more blind you become, go and heat up the newly bought tofu, and bring me the gold thread by the way. - By the way, do you smell anything strange about me? β
Xia Xia leaned over and sniffed with a frown, and said with a smile: "I smell the sweet smell, is Sister Fei bringing back something good?" β
I remembered that there was still a snack brought by Zheng Fu in my bag, and I glared at her while taking it out: "I know how to eat, and I am not afraid of eating fat." Apart from this sweetness, what other flavors are not there? Like, bad taste? β
Xia Xia was all focused on the dim sum, how could she have time to smell me again: "No, no, I'll go in first." "Hurry back to the backyard.
Although Xia Xia didn't smell it, I was still a little uneasy, those dead crows in Xihuayuan - I'd better go back to my room and change my clothes.
As soon as I was halfway through, I heard Xia Xia call me softly at the door: "Sister Fei, I put the gold thread in the embroidery basket in the yard, I'll go to the courtyard to see the brother first, and then go to find the little donkey brother, okay?" β
I smiled and said, "If you have good things, you know how to give them to others, and women don't keep them." β
Xia Xia stomped his feet and said: "I didn't pull it, I just let my brother smell it, maybe he felt the fragrance and woke up." β
"Go, go, go." After changing his clothes and coming out, it was still full of red satin, Xia Xia had already put away all the gold threads, and he wanted to sit down and coil the threads, but his stomach suddenly growled.
I walked to the opposite courtyard to see how the man was, and as soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Song Lingjian in black and long hair sitting in the courtyard, which scared me a lot!
"Ahh My heart was pounding hard, although I used to run into Song Lingjian sitting alone in the courtyard, but now I always feel gloomy!
Song Lingjian really gave up on herself, and her usually neat hair was scattered, straightening her back, draped in a back of black hair like a thick ink coat, for a moment I had an illusion, thinking that the black hair on this back was like a resentment enveloping her, so thick that it could not be resolved.
It was the first time I had seen her since I came back from the mountains.
