CHAPTER XXXII
It's late autumn, and I often lean on the promenade in the backyard to watch the slowly flowing pond water on the rockery, which is crystal clear and flows from the depths of the flowers and trees under the stone gaps.
The leaves on the trees fell again and again, and I watched the leaves falling slowly and slowly in the wind, whether they fell in the pool, or on the roof, or under the big tree, each leaf had its home, and each leaf had its home.
So what about my home, where will I be? My father died, my mother has not been heard from since, and I have no close siblings. I couldn't help but cry when I thought about it.
Twelve young Bai Xiaoqiu, fourteen young people, seventeen young people, and nineteen young people stood behind me at some point, and the seventeen young people asked me, "Mr. Su, do you really like my twelfth brother?" ”
I didn't look back, nor did I greet them as usual, but looked at the leaves that were falling in the air, stood up and reached out to pick them up, the leaves fell steadily in my palm, I shook it lightly, smiled faintly, and said, "Seventeen Shao, have you seen it, there is no difference between people and things, they all have their own lives, some things are under their own control, and people are the same." I have limited power, there are too many things to control, just like this leaf, it floats so slowly, and when it falls, it is so light, I know that I can hold it as long as I reach out, so I reach out."
I turned around and looked at the three major generals standing in front of me, and through this time of contact, I found that each of them had their own careful thoughts. Although I don't know what it is, it is not difficult to find that there is always a kind of small abacus between them that seems to be harmonious on the surface, but they are each playing their own tricks behind the scenes.
Take the birthday of the nineteenth young man Bai Yan Leng some time ago, when the fourteenth young man toasted, the table was full of people, but in front of Bai Xiaoqiu, he showed a very disdainful and arrogant expression, and the words of the two were also flattering and flattering, not at all like the brotherhood between brothers.
There are also seventeen and nineteen, these two people are not used to each other, one dislikes each other for being uneducated, one is a straw bag, and the other dislikes the other party except for being like a scholar of Wen Zou Zou, who is nothing, can't carry it on his shoulders and can't lift it, like a woman.
I don't like the atmosphere, but today, how did these people come together?
Nineteen Shao Bai Yan looked at me coldly, took a few steps closer to me, and said softly, "The shadow of the sycamore is built by the cui shake, and the warm peony medicine wind is what you are talking about now."
I smiled coldly at Bai Yan, and he was the only one in the entire Bai Mansion who could understand my current mood and understand my situation. Many times he is the only one who listens to my heart.
Passing the fourteen young, I walked straight to the seventeen young, spread out his hand, put the fallen leaves on his hand, I said, "Actually, I like to be with you more than the twelve, you are hearty and lively, say whatever you want, smile at me when you are happy, and yell at me if you are unhappy."
Seventeen young people were about to close their hands to hold the leaves, I slowly picked up, the leaves fluttered with the wind, I leaned my neck, jumped up and blew hard towards the leaves, seventeen young people hurriedly followed behind me, I took a look at him, the leaves were blown everywhere by us.
Seventeen less than one was happy and asked me, "Mr. Su, is what you just said true?" ”
I smiled at him and said, "Of course it's true, it's true, when did I, Su Feifei, lie to you." In a hurry, I added, "But not what you think."
Seventeen Shao just blew the leaves, oh, I don't know if he understood the meaning of my next sentence.
His eyes glanced at Bai Xiaoqiu, who was standing on the corridor and had never moved his steps, and saw him standing quietly, looking at me quietly.
I sighed lightly and thought to myself, since we have decided to let go, why don't we behave more naturally, after all, we still have a period of time to get along, and in this white mansion, there will always be a time when you look down and don't look up.
Thinking like this, I felt much calmer in my heart, so I also looked at him quietly, and when I saw that I actually smiled at him, he also smiled at me. Presumably, we are all relieved at this moment.
After laughing, I turned around, and it was rare that Eleven Shao also came to the rockery in the backyard to view the scenery.
Twelve, fourteen, seventeen, and nineteen young people shouted at the same time as "Brother Eleven".
Eleven Shao nodded and said, "You all play here."
The four major generals said "yes" in unison.
Then looking at me, I was a little nervous, and hurriedly bowed to him slightly, and said, "Eleven is good."
This is the first time I have called him.
Eleven Shao also nodded at me, turned around and disappeared behind the rockery.
I stood on the rockery, put my hand into the pool water, and gently waved, and the water in the pool instantly gradually spread outward, forming a series of beautiful ripples.
Seventeen Shao walked up to me, squatted down, and stretched out his hand to swing in the pool like me. I had an idea, took a handful of water and sprinkled it on him, he was not to be outdone, and also sprinkled water on me, the more we poured it, the more happy we were, I didn't let go, he approached me step by step, I only stepped back step by step, one carelessly, and stepped on the air. Although the seventeen young man moved fast, he couldn't catch me, and I fell off the rockery on my back in a daze, only to hear a pop and splash more than two meters high.
The man-made rockery, as a leisure view, is also a fish pond, which is nearly 3 meters deep, I can't swim only in the water, and the pool water keeps pouring into my mouth.
I heard two pops, and then one of them grabbed my left arm, the other pulled my right arm, and the two of them lifted me out of the pool and onto the shore.
I was soaking wet and shivering from the cold, and Bai Xiaoqiu took off her clothes and put them on me.
Bai Yanleng also took off his shirt and handed it to me, saying "Quickly wipe your hair, don't freeze it."
Seventeen Shao smiled and said, "Mr. Su, I see you so fierce on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to be an out-and-out landlubber."
I shuddered and turned my head away, wanting to hurt him a few words, but I saw that the fourteenth and seventeenth young were already soaking wet, standing behind me, their faces were purple from the cold, and their upper teeth were lowered. I couldn't say the cruel words, so I had to swallow them back.
Fourteen Shao's face was still expressionless, and water droplets were dripping down from his smooth skin one by one.
The three of us stood by the pond like chickens in soup. Bai Yan said coldly, "I've been confused all morning, Mr. Su should be sober now."
Several people returned to their respective houses.
Seeing that I was soaking wet, Ai'er exclaimed, "Mr. Su, what's wrong, what's going on."
I shivered and quipped, "I just took a bath in the pond of the rockery, the water is very clean, but it's a little cold." As soon as he finished speaking, he sneezed loudly.
Ai'er puffed out her eyes and listened in a daze.
Bai Yanleng instructed Ai'er to "hurry up and make some ginger tea for Mr."
Ai'er answered, and hurriedly ran to the back room.
Bai Yan looked at me coldly and said, "In such a cold weather, I'm afraid I'll catch a cold, so I'll go burn some charcoal fire to warm up my body."
Bai Xiaoqiu didn't say anything, and followed Bai Yan Leng away.
When Mrs. Mu heard that I had fallen into the water, she also rushed to see me, and the maidservant girl who walked behind her carried a thick futon on my bed.
As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Mu shouted, "Why are you so careless." Walk a few steps briskly, take my hand, and say, "Why are your hands so cold?" Mrs. Mu's hands were warm, warming me and making me feel a trace of warmth, penetrating from my fingertips to the bottom of my heart.
Somehow I wanted to cry, and I fell into Mrs. Mu's arms and started crying.
Mrs. Mu stroked my back and comforted me, "Don't be pressured, since I handed over the Xuanzhi to you and let you be his Mr. Literacy, you can rest assured, no matter whether the Huangkou Yi test is good or not, you are still his Mr. Literacy, in this white mansion, I didn't open my mouth to let you go, who dares to drive you away."
The more Mrs. Mu talked about me, the more I cried harder, and my crying body trembled and trembled, as if all my grievances, sadness and unhappiness were crying out. Later, Mrs. Mu stopped talking, and just hugged me tightly.
After crying for a long time and crying enough, I got up from Mrs. Mu's arms, straightened up and said, "Mrs. Mu, don't worry, I will teach Xuanxu literacy and painting."
Ai'er came into the house with the boiled ginger tea, and Mrs. Mu told me to drink it quickly, and not to think about sleeping well after drinking anything.
I drank a large bowl in one go, and suddenly felt hot all over my body, and after a while, a thin layer of sweat broke out.
Bai Xiaoqiu and Bai Yanleng brought charcoal, and after a while, my room was warm, and the two of them didn't bother to sit, and when they left, Bai Yanleng asked Ai'er to take care of me.
After crying for a long time, I drank ginger tea again, and then slept beautifully, and when I woke up, I felt much more relaxed.
As Bai Yan Leng said, tears are really a good medicine for stress.
After my careful cultivation and painstaking irrigation, the sky will never fail those who work hard.
So far, Xuanxuan's literacy level has been greatly improved, and he can also draw into three points, basically painting what is like, but when he paints the leaves, he is a little unsatisfactory, crooked, like an earthworm.
I teased him and said, "O Xuan, put some soil on your leaves and add some water, maybe this earthworm can come back to life."
Hearing me say this, the mystery is not only unrepentant, but also intensified. followed by the next sentence, "I'll find a pot for it, so that it has nothing to do with the soil every day, earthworms like to drill into the soil the most, by the way, sir, to use that kind of better soil, the pot of gladiolus on my father's table, which contains high-quality soil, this must be good."
If it weren't for the fact that I took three deep breaths in succession and strongly suppressed the anger in my heart, I was afraid that Xuanxuan's head would be unable to find the north by my breath. Calm down, forget it, no one is perfect, you can't expect him to be okay in everything, slowly adjust, continue to irrigate, and there will always be progress over time.
Inadvertently, I would also test Xuan Xue and ask him, "Xuan Xu, if one day Mr. Su leaves Baifu and leaves you, will you be sad and sad, will you miss me?" ”
Xuan Xuan put down his pen, looked at me, his expression was very serious, and said, "Sir, why did you leave Baifu, is Xuan Xuan bad?" ”
I touched his head and said, "Of course not, Xuan Xuan is good, and it's too late for Mr. to like it."
The Xuan Xuan said again, "Sir, is it because the fourth brother doesn't want you?"
I was silent and did not speak.
Xuan Xuan stretched out his chubby little hand and touched my face, and said, "Sir, don't you like me, I like you too, don't worry, I will marry you when I grow up."
I tilted my body and held back what I was going to say.
