Chapter 6: Divorce (I)

When Xia Meizhen woke up, it was already dark.

The cool summer breeze swept into the room from the hall, blowing the white veil by the door like water, and the candle flame in the lampshade reflected the dim silhouette, which made it even more ghostly and gloomy in the room.

Xia Meizhen sat up and realized that she was in the boudoir. Suddenly, what happened during the day suddenly rushed into my mind, and it made people have a splitting headache for a while.

Although she has been here for two days, she has always been in a daze before, and it was not until Jiang Rong entered the door that she came to her senses and understood that she was both a modern Xia Ami and an ancient Xia Meizhen.

At this time, after understanding the exit, I felt panicked in my heart.

There was footsteps coming this way outside the house, Xia Meizhen turned her head to look over, and saw Jiang Yunxian coming in with a food box, and when she saw her sitting on the bed, she smiled kindly: "You have slept for a long time, come and eat something." ”

When she got closer, Xia Meizhen could see a shallow purple on her forehead, and she felt a little sentimental.

"You...... My mother suffered. She snorted.

"You kid, why are you so sick that it looks like a different person." Jiang Yunxian said casually, while taking out the food in the food box and putting it on the table.

A plate of stir-fried tofu, a plate of cucumbers, and a bowl of rice.

A simple seasonal dish, Xia Meizhen picked up the bowl and ate it silently, Jiang Yunxian watched her eat, and for a while, except for the sound of insects outside the house and the collision of chopsticks and bowls, there was no other sound.

As if there was a tacit understanding, no one mentioned what happened during the day.

After finishing the meal for a while, Jiang Yunxian put the dishes into the food box before saying: "Sister Zhen, I plan to wait for your father to pass the first seven, then sell some things in the family, exchange them for silver money and store them in the money bank, and then find another room to live in, what do you think?" ”

Xia Meizhen thought about it, according to her memory, the mother and daughter have always gotten along like this, and there is a faint alienation in the warmth.

She thought, this is just right, anyway, she is not really Xia Meizhen, instead of pretending to be Xia Meizhen, it is better to be herself, so she said: "Yes, it's just that, why do you want to save money?" Wouldn't it be better for us to make money by trading and trading? ”

According to her philosophy, if you have money, you should invest in business to make more money, and she never thinks of saving.

"How could you have such a thought? Have you forgotten the rules your father taught you? How can a girl's family want to go out and show her face, and how can you marry someone in the future? Jiang Yunxian said with a shocked face.

Get married? She hadn't thought about it.

Jiang Yunxian is now wearing a plain white cross-shirt, her hair is simply coiled behind her head, this antique dress suddenly reminded Xia Meizhen that this is ancient times, the times are different, men are inferior to women. Xia Meizhen had no choice but to say: "It's me who is sick and confused." ”

With that, he fell silent again.

Halfway through, Jiang Yunxian got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, rubbed the top of her hair and instructed: "You have worked hard these days, go to bed early." ”

Jiang Yunxian left, but Xia Meizhen couldn't sleep, tossing and turning for a long time, she simply sat in front of the dresser, looking at herself in the bronze mirror: melon seed face, eyebrows, bright apricot eyes, high nose bridge, thin lips without blood, delicate facial features with a ball of childishness, completely a child who has not grown.

Outside the window, insects chirp and bell, and the unique summer heat lingers in the house, and I feel particularly uncomfortable because of the inner turmoil.

It's okay during the day, but in the dead of night, all kinds of past lives will appear in front of you like a fantasy, neon night scenes, fragrant cars and BMWs, and customers in restaurants - the simple memories like the original main flowers are intertwined.

"Chef Xia, what are you eating today? Did I bring a beer? ”

"This Peking duck you made is really authentic, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the knife work has grown, and the meat is almost transparent."

"Ami, what did the rich second generation give you for your birthday? Hurry up and tell me honestly, do you have a secret promise? ”

"Miss, the master has brought back pastries from outside, so you can try them."

"Miss, it's raining outside, and I'm suffering from the wind chill."

"Miss, you are so beautiful in this blue dress."

It was another sleepless night, Xia Meizhen got up early and had breakfast, and sent Xia Zhiyuan up the mountain with Jiang Yunxian and the neighboring relatives and friends of the clan, which was the end of Xia Zhiyuan's last days.

In the next few days, Xia Meizhen became idle, because of filial piety, she couldn't go out, so she had to read some idle books at home to pass the time......

"Is salt expensive now?" Xia Meizhen felt very stupid after asking, she couldn't be blamed for this, the original owner said that she had lived for eleven years, but her experience was simply a blank slate, and it was too different from the ancient women she knew.

Jiang Yunxian didn't notice it, and continued the embroidery work in his hands, while saying: "But it's not, from the first month to the present, 10 yuan of salt has become 30 yuan, this is the fourth time this year that the price has risen, and if it continues to rise, I'm afraid many people can't even afford to eat salt." ”

As she spoke, her eyes turned red again, "When your father is here, how can we think about these things, he alone can not only feed our family, but also help many people who can't afford to eat......"

Xia Meizhen didn't know how to comfort her, and she stumbled for a long time before she squeezed out a sentence: "Daddy is a very powerful person." ”

Jiang Yunxian was stunned, then burst into tears and smiled, "You kid." ”

The atmosphere eased suddenly, the two of them lowered their heads and said something else, but somehow, Xia Meizhen suddenly said: "Mother, take me with you next time you go to the city, it's boring to be at home." ”

When Xia Zhiyuan was alive, she was very precious to her only daughter, and often said: A woman's family is born to hurt men, if she can't be good to her, what will she do when she marries home; Men are not good to women, so what is the use of women learning those ways of running a house and running a business? If you don't want a woman to do anything, then the literacy and hyphenation and the rules that you understand are the most suitable.

is so accustomed to his daughter, it can be seen how much Xia Zhiyuan spoils this daughter.

It's just that Xia Zhiyuan didn't agree to Xia Meizhen only one thing, that is, he went out to show his face - so, growing so big, Xia Meizhen didn't know what the ancient bazaar was like.

After saying that, Xia Meizhen regretted it a little, according to her memory, Xia Meizhen had such a request before, but all of them were opposed, this time, Jiang Yunxian would not agree, right?

"You want to go to the market with me?" Jiang Yunxian looked at her face seriously, as if he was looking at another person through her.

Xia Meizhen was a little hairy, and she said in her heart that she wouldn't really see that she wasn't the original Xia Meizhen, right?

Despite this concern, she nodded her head as her answer.

At this time, the candle on the low table exploded into a candle flower, making a soft 'pop' sound, and the light dimmed.

Jiang Yunxian pulled out the silver hairpin on his head to pick up the wick, but joked on his lips: "The candle is bursting, the happy event is coming, our sister Zhen is afraid that there will be a happy event." ”
