Chapter 14: Picking
Seeing her sister Hu Liren's indifference, Hu Jiaren couldn't help but reach out to her and wanted to touch her, but Hu Liren no longer sat with her, but got up and avoided her hand.
"Excuse me?" Hu Liren asked in a low voice, and then chuckled and said, "Since you have apologized, then I will forgive you, who made us sisters." ā
"Li'er, do you say yes?"
"Lil?" Hu Jiaren's face was stunned.
Hu Liren raised her voice violently and said, "You know who Li'er is!" Could it be that after a few years of being a good child and a daughter of the Hu family for a few years, you have completely forgotten it! ā
"I didn't forget." Hu Jiaren stood up, swallowed the fishy sweetness in his mouth, and said in a low voice: "But at this time, why ......?"
"Why?" Hu Liren said with a distorted expression: "You are so smart, you have been smart since you were a child, like a prodigy as others say, Daddy is a pity why you are not a man, otherwise the Hu family will not worry about the day when you will not get ahead." ā
"You're so smart, you don't know why?" Hu Liren glared and said: "You are too smart, you actually coaxed me, who was young and ignorant, to give you the position of the Hu family's daughter!" So today I am the one who is the concubine, and you stay at home to recruit money! ā
Hu Jiaren didn't understand why things suddenly became like this, and couldn't help but explain: "You remember wrong, it was because you thought it was too hard to learn those things, so you said that I would be my sister." ā
At this time, Hu Jiaren's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible.
Hu Liren's expression has calmed down a lot, and she didn't defend herself when she heard this, but said: "Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm Jia'er, and it's not wrong that I'm the daughter of the Hu family." Since the daughter of the Hu family can stay at home and recruit money, why should I be willing to be a concubine? ā
"Good sister, good Li'er, it's up to you to go to the garrison mansion. Don't be afraid, tomorrow I will sort out the silver ticket and send it to you as a dowry. ā
Hu Jiaren looked at the person in front of her silently, she always thought that she was the one who knew and understood her best. But who is the person in front of him? Is it her sister? Why did she feel so strange?
Now she has fully understood that her sister is not willing to be a concubine at all, and she is fighting the idea of letting her go. But she did not ask for good words, but she said these things.
Is it trying to force her to agree? What will she do?
Hu Jiaren's throat was already numb with pain, but a heart in his chest began to ache dullly, as if it was slowly cracking from the inside.
"Mother, mother won't agree."
Hu Liren sneered, and said in a cold tone: "Yes, my mother will not agree." My mother will watch me go as a concubine, but she will never let you go. It's because of her that things have come to this point. But she's a mother, and I don't hate her. ā
"But in order for her not to get in the way, I put calming herbs in her medicine, and at this time, she was afraid that the old man would have fallen asleep a long time ago."
Between the lightning and flint, Hu Jiaren suddenly understood something, looked at her directly, and said, "That bowl, you, put something, right!" ā
"Sure enough, it's my sister, I thought of it immediately." Although Hu Liren has always been tough and indifferent, when she said this, tears kept flowing out.
At this time, she wiped the tears from her face and chuckled: "But there is no medicine in the sweet peanut plum cheese, just some golden mango juice." ā
"Sister doesn't know, our sisters not only look alike, but also have similar physiques. That year, my father brought back a rare golden mango, and you gave it to me. I was reluctant to eat it, so I left it for several days before I peeled it and tasted it. ā
"As a result, the hands and mouth that were stained with juice had a layer of fine and dense little red bumps." Hu Liren scratched his hand and said, "Look, this is not a small stain that day." ā
"At that time, my mother said that the fruit was spoiled and thrown away, but later I learned that it was not the fruit that was bad, but actually sensitivity. And our sisters, like us, are all sensitive to golden mangoes. ā
As he spoke, Hu Liren turned to the dressing table, opened a wooden box on it, and took out a golden mango half a palm-length.
"If my sister doesn't believe it, then try it again?"
Hu Jiaren sneered, it seems that she has raised a white-eyed wolf. Although she was willing to go for her before, but now she has changed her mind.
Finally glancing at his sister, Hu Jiaren turned around and wanted to leave.
But how could Hu Liren agree, stepped forward and grabbed the person and pushed him to the chair, and said coldly: "Didn't you say that you hurt me, then go and be a concubine for me." Where can you run to now? And the orange has long been led away by the peach. ā
"You ......" Hu Jiaren, who was powerless, had no power to resist. I had to say so many words before, but I couldn't make a sound at all at this time, and I couldn't swallow my swollen throat.
Seeing Hu Liren approaching step by step, she could only purse her lips tightly in vigilance. Unexpectedly, after Hu Liren peeled off the peel, he ate it one bite at a time.
"It's a pity that you can't eat more of such a delicious fruit." Hu Liren said as he spit out the flesh and didn't swallow it, probably because he was afraid that if he really ate it, he would faint.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and then said slowly: "We have nine points of appearance, but the sound is different. Especially now that you hurt your throat, others will know who is Jia'er and who is Li'er when you hear it, so I have to make myself unable to speak normally. ā
Compared with Hu Jiaren, who was just mixed with juice in the dessert, Hu Liren's reaction was much faster, and her voice was no longer right when she spoke. After saying these few words, she felt as if her throat was being burned by fire, and she was immediately speechless.
It hurts, my sister just endured such pain, and still talked so much to her.
Hu Liren's tears flowed more urgently, but what could this be? She couldn't turn back.
"Don't blame me, IāI don't want to." Spit out this sentence with difficulty, Hu Liren picked up the clothes that Hu Jiaren had changed and slowly put them on his body.
The two sisters sat and stood, relatively speechless, their faces full of tears.
As if punishing herself, Hu Liren deliberately said: "Sister, don't be afraid, you are smart, after you go, they will like you very much, and you will have a good life." ā
Hu Jiaren closed his eyes and refused to look at her again. Her tears were real, her fears were real, her words were real, and even she felt that she was doing this, it was really, really painful. But this little girl who she spoiled with one hand still chose to hurt her to achieve her own goals.
The sister she watched pampered and protected with her own eyes, growing up from a pink and tender baby.
