Chapter 34: Growth
In the Imperial History Mansion, Zou walked through the corridor, holding the decoction, followed by the maids, with their heads bowed, holding candied fruits and pastries in their hands.
"Did people sleep?"
When I arrived at the door, I saw Honghong and Ah Zi, who were sitting at the door, basking in the sun, sitting with needlework, and the two maids saw Zou coming, so they immediately put down the work in their hands and got up to salute and talk back.
"Madame Hui, Miss has been asleep for a while, do you want us to wake her up?"
It has been a few days since I returned from the refuge view, and the family has never tied Wei Jin with a rope again. But Wei Jin was angry in her heart, and she lay in the room every day and didn't come out.
"No need, I'll go by myself, you guys are busy with your own," Wang waved his hand, walked two steps, retreated, put the decoction in his hand into Ah Zi's hand, and told the maids to stay outside the door, and then he entered the room.
The sun outside was just right, and after staying in the light for a long time, he suddenly entered the house, a little uncomfortable, and always felt that the room was dark, and Wang squinted his eyes for a long time before he saw the figure on the bed.
"Xiao Jin?" Wang went to the edge of the bed and sat down, shouting quietly.
The man wrapped in the quilt, when he heard the sound, reluctantly moved to the bed.
"Awake? Then why can't you get up yet? Wang patted her on the back and smiled, "Why are you angry again?" Where is there so much gas in children's homes? β
"Humph!" The man in the quilt moved again, unwilling to leave the person sitting beside him.
"What's not to like, tell my mother, my mother will enlighten you," Wang was not angry, sat aside, and waited silently.
"Don't sit on my bed," Wei Jin waited for a long time, put his head out of the quilt, and when he looked back, Zou was still here, so he immediately got up, sat up and pushed her.
"How old are you, why are you still like a child?" Zou's face pulled, and he looked at the two hands pushing him with displeasure.
Wei Jin lowered her head, flattened her mouth, and looked at the two hands that were withdrawn and hung down on the quilt aggrievedly, and there was no movement.
"You're not too young, you should be out of the cabinet in two years, don't lose your temper at every turn, learn to be calm, put your temper away, understand?" Wang pulled the quilt for her, "In the Taoist temple, I told you that you are going to grow up, you should grow up, you look at a young lady of the same age as you, which one is like you?" β
"Anyway, it's my fault," Wei Jin twisted her head to the side.
That day, in the Taoist temple, she only knew that she was very angry and annoyed in her heart, and wanted to bite someone, and then her consciousness was blurred, and when she woke up, she was tied to the bed.
This bundle is more than a month.
When she woke up, she thought that she was Gongbo Zhezhe's master, the master of the Kurong Dao who took refuge, and in order to vent her anger to Gongbo Zhezhe, she scolded herself like this on the bed for a while.
Until, Wei Shen came in from outside the door, looked at her with a black line on his face, followed by his father and mother.
When she was at home, although she was a little rude, she still knew the number of etiquette, and it was the first time that she scolded without rules, and she just let her father and mother bump into her.
At that time, she was so panicked that she couldn't speak, although her father was a civil official, he was stern, no worse than those military attachΓ©s. When she was a child, she was disobedient, and she didn't know how many beatings she received! If it weren't for the eldest brother and her mother, she wouldn't know if she would have survived until now!
Later, after the eldest brother was gone, she was beaten several times because she mentioned her father-in-law Zhezhe in front of her father several times. People outside say that she is grounded at home, but in fact, where she is grounded, she is just recuperating from her injuries!
Originally, her mother loved her very much, but after the eldest brother left, she was always depressed and had no time to care about herself.
In the past, my mother loved me the most, although my father was strict, but every time I wanted to punish myself, my mother stopped me. After that incident happened two years ago, I lost two people who felt sorry for me.
The more Wei Jin thought about it, the more angry he became, and the last enemies he could find were the two cousins of the Gongbo Mansion.
In the past, the relationship between her and her two cousins was still very harmonious, especially Gongbo Xinxin, she liked her the most! Although, she is not as wise as Zhezhe, she does not read as much, she writes well, and she can't make poetry.
Uncle Xin Xin is a very gentle big sister, just like her mother and eldest brother, the only one who can make her angry is Uncle Zhezhe.
Every time, when Gong Bo Zhezhe and Xin Xin had an awkward relationship, she would help Xin Xin without hesitation and blame Gong Bo Zhezhe for her. Every time she interjected, the two sisters who had been arguing laughed, stopped arguing, and listened to her alone.
Wei Jin loved being with them.
Later, when she grew up, she was often dragged by her father-in-law to write and paint, saying that this was what she should learn as the daughter of a royal historian, but Xin Xin and her eldest brother were nowhere to be found.
It wasn't until the death of her eldest brother that she understood why Gongbo Zhezhe wanted to pull her, and why Gongbo Xinxin and eldest brother always didn't accompany her.
It's not impossible for cousins and sisters to fall in love, but why, the result will be like this?
The originally carefree, harmonious and beautiful family was shattered like this, and Wei Jin hated them from that time.
The more her parents pulled her, and the more the family covered her and didn't let her know or let her go for trouble, the more she couldn't help it.
is well-behaved on the surface, all in order to find an opportunity to sneak out of the house, and then question the two cousins in person.
But before she came out, there was news that the two of them were both married.
Why, why?
Gongbo Xin Xin and Gongbo Zhezhe, why didn't the two of them die?
One deceived the eldest brother's feelings, and the other killed the eldest brother, and the two of them are not good things. Even if Gongbo Zhezhe has been ill for two years, has invited countless doctors, and found a lot of Taoist priests and goddesses, she feels that she deserves it.
No matter how much you hate, you still can't stop the passage of time, and you still can't bear people to go away.
Uncle Xin Xin got married, and after marriage, everyone said that her husband loved her, had a happy life, and was envious. It's just that she just can't envy it, not only can't she envy it, but she also hates it.
's well-behaved and obedient in front of her parents finally gave her a chance to go out, Liu Ying was her shield and the only person she could talk to.
It was also because of Liu Ying that she had the opportunity to go to the door of the Shizi Mansion, find the Shizi Mansion, and want to be angry with her. said that she seduced Ye Qiongwen, she didn't have a good impression of Ye Qiongwen, she just didn't want her eldest brother to be worthless, and she wanted to make her uncle unhappy.
On the contrary, Uncle Xin is still a good person, not angry or annoyed, just watching himself lose his temper so quietly.
The more she was like this, the more difficult it was for the qi in her heart to counteract.
Soon, she couldn't enter the Shizi Mansion, not only couldn't she enter, but Ye Qiongwen also had to say goodbye to her, everyone in the capital was laughing at herself, she knew that the gentle Gongbo Xin would not do this kind of thing, such a damaging method, only Gongbo Zhezhe thought of it.
So in the name of Liu Ying, she went out of the city gate without telling her parents, and wanted to go to the Refuge Temple to find Gongbo Zhezhe, but the Refuge View stopped her every time and didn't let her get close to her.
That's why she went crazy that day, especially when Gongbo Zhezhe pointed at her and scolded her, her mind was confused.
Now, I am tied up here, talking nonsense, let my father and mother bump into me, and I thought I would be punished, but I didn't expect it, but there was nothing.
My father and mother instantly aged a lot, asking softly and caring, no scolding, only distress.
At first, she didn't understand, but she always had a manic temper, and under the effect of tranquilizers, she finally knew the words she listened to in a daze.
She's poisoned!
Not only her, but the eldest brother also died of poisoning.
This result, this truth, Wei Jin couldn't accept it for a while, and in the days when he was bound, every time he was awake, he was thinking about such a question in his mind.
What kind of poison is it, and when did she get it? Why did the eldest brother die because of this poison, wasn't it caused by Gongbo Zhezhe and Gongbo Xinxin?
She wanted to know why, and asked Zou many times, but each time, Zou didn't tell the reason, only told her to be more mature and stop being like a child.
Liu Ying's maid died because of herself, she knows.
The two maids who served themselves had fear in their eyes every time they came to him. Once or twice she pretended to be asleep and heard the two of them discussing in private.
It turned out that she was infected with voodoo, a poison that can drive people crazy and be controlled by others. It's been ten years, and for so long, she can't remember how she got poisoned.
The voices of the two maids were very soft, Wei Jin slept there every day, squinting his eyes, most of the time he was awake, knowing that he would hurt others, being tied up like this, Wei Jin had no objections, and there was no problem when he was poured decoction.
It's just that it's too boring, and the only interesting thing is to listen to the movement outside, and look forward to the maids talking more.
Several times, she couldn't help but ask them both directly, but they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak anymore for several days, which made it difficult for her for many days.
Liu Ying and Gongbo Zhezhe disappeared, someone was chasing them with swords outside, and the two maids could have escaped to save their lives, but they didn't care about their own life and death by her side, shouting, calling the guards, and repelling the assassins.
To be honest, she was still very moved in her heart.
On weekdays, she always loses her temper with the two of them, and punishes them at every turn, but now she herself makes them scared to death, but when it comes to life and death, she is still willing to protect her.
Wei Jin was still very moved in her heart. In the past few days of being detained, she has thought a lot and calmed down a lot, but she just can't change her face.
Now, when her two maids are serving in front of her, she can control her emotions, no longer affect them, and she no longer loses her temper at them.
It's just that knowing that he might hurt people, Wei Jin still stayed in the house and didn't want to go out.
What if she gets sick again and hurts others? The Imperial History Mansion is where she grew up, and everyone here, he doesn't want to hurt.
When he was in the Taoist temple, he was still bound by a rope, and when he returned home, there was no prohibition anymore, Wei Jin was a little unaccustomed and worried.
In the face of people close to her, she always wants to push them away, not wanting them to be hurt by herself. But after pushing like this, she felt uncomfortable and was reluctant to let them leave.
Will she be afraid, what will her future self look like? Will they never be remembered again? Will they lose them forever?
The more I take the medicine, the more I don't know why, doesn't it mean that this is poisoning? Will taking medicine help? When will she find the antidote and be completely cured?
Wei Jin was depressed in her heart, since the Taoist temple, the Zou family has been more and more concerned about her, and many times she has to stay inch, at first Wei Jin will ask why, and then she will be silent.
When two people are together, they are always awkward.
"You didn't say it's your fault, you didn't do anything, why was it wrong?" Zou sighed, "Do you have something on your mind?" β
"Nope!"
"Then why is it so awkward?"
"I'm like this," Wei Jin stiffened, "Is there something wrong with you coming to me?" β
"Can't you look for it if it's okay? I'm your mother, not someone else," if you can't find it, Zou pulled her hair together, "I'm here because it's time to take the medicine, the medicine is decoction, it's outside, since you're awake, then I'll let them come in." β
"I don't want to drink it," Vijin retorted in a low voice.
"I know you're afraid of bitterness, so I brought candied fruit and pastries, all of which are sweet," Zou patted her arm, "Good medicine is good for illness." β
"Mother, tell me the truth, am I hopeless?"
