Chapter 25: Auntie
By the time Xiao Fenghuan and Rong Guangting came to Deyue Tower, Bao and Chu Mengqing were already waiting.
Deyue Lou is a small restaurant, neat and clean, suitable for talking about things. Because it is not on the bustling main street, the price is not expensive, which is the main reason why the Bao family chose to be here.
Rong Guangting was not interested in what they were talking about, and after entering the door, he found a table on the side and sat down, looking around boredly.
When Chu Mengqing saw Xiao Fenghuan coming, she stood up and generously saluted Xiao Fenghuan, with a decent smile on her face.
Xiao Fenghuan accepted this gift with peace of mind because she was older, and then sat down with a smile, but her heart was full of surprise, what a young and beautiful woman, the top embroidery girl in Jindu would be her?
Seeing that Xiao Fenghuan had already sat down, Bao took out the handkerchief embroidered by Chu Mengqing and unfolded it in front of Xiao Fenghuan.
Xiao Fenghuan looked down, but if he didn't look at it, he was amazed.
In order to test Chu Mengqing before, she took out not an ordinary handkerchief, but a famous man from Chu County. The embroidery and stitching of the handkerchief embroidered by Chu Mengqing in front of her are not inferior at all compared to the post she brought, and it can be regarded as first-class in Chu County.
"Miss Chu is a good craft, I don't know where the girl is taught?" Xiao Fenghuan originally ran an embroidery workshop, and when he saw a good embroidery girl, especially a good southern embroidery embroiderer, he naturally fell in love with talent, and he was even more curious about Chu Mengqing's teacher, and his voice couldn't help but reveal surprise and eagerness when he asked.
Rong Guangting had already taken a closer look at Chu Mengqing, thinking that Chu Mengqing's appearance and figure were excellent. Seeing her mother like this, her heart moved, and then she pretended to be like nothing and continued to look around.
"Mrs. Xie praised, the little woman's embroidery art passed on to her mother." Chu Mengqing replied, neither humble nor arrogant.
Xiao Fenghuan was shocked when she heard this, she was sure that Chu Mengqing's mother was from Chu County, and she might even have something to do with their Rong family. Seeing Chu Mengqing's acupuncture, there is a shadow of her Rong family's acupuncture. Could it be that Chu Mengqing and her mother are the descendants of the Rong family?
"I don't know what the relationship between Lingtang and the Rong family of Chu County is?" Xiao Fenghuan pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.
Chu Mengqing didn't know why Xiao Fenghuan had this question, she knew that her mother's hometown was indeed Chu County, and she didn't know if it had anything to do with the Rong family she said.
Chu Mengqing was curious, and said: "My mother's surname is indeed Rong, I don't know if the Rong family that Mrs. said is a family?" ”
Sure enough, it is a member of the Rong family, who else can be surnamed Rong and know Rong's acupuncture, Xiao Fenghuan sighed in his heart.
What a beautiful line of the Rong family was back then, since the war with Di Guo, it is difficult to find even the descendants of the lineage, let alone the southern embroidery art that was famous in Chu County at that time.
Today, although the population of Xiao Fenghuan's vein has been preserved, because it is a branch vein, no one understands the essence of Rong's acupuncture.
Since he learned that Chu Mengqing was indeed related to the Rong family, Xiao Fenghuan had to make another plan.
"To tell you the truth, I am from the Rong family of Chu County, and I am your mother's clan, and your southern embroidery art is proof that only my Rong family knows how to stitch." Xiao Fenghuan said sincerely.
Although Chu Mengqing was surprised by Xiao Fenghuan's words, she already believed it when she heard it.
She heard her mother mention that she was separated from her family in the war, but she didn't know why her mother never mentioned the Rong family, could it be that her mother thought that her family was gone and couldn't bear to mention it?
Seeing Chu Mengqing's puzzled expression, Xiao Fenghuan estimated that she shouldn't know more about it, and asked, "I don't know if it's convenient to tell me your mother's name, I want to know what kind of relationship she has with my family." ”
Since the other party was a member of her mother's clan, Chu Mengqing felt cordial, so she didn't hide it, she replied, "Rong Wanhua." ”
Rong Wanhua, it turned out to be her! Xiao Fenghuan was shocked.
"Evening flowers! You are the daughter of the late bloom! Heaven has mercy, and finally reunited relatives! I'm your aunt! Xiao Fenghuan said emotionally, stepped forward to take Chu Mengqing's hand, and said excitedly: "Where is your mother now?" Take me to meet her. ”
With Rong Wanhua's sister-in-law here, it is a great joy for the South Embroidery Workshop. Xiao Fenghuan decided that he must meet this sister-in-law no matter what.
"My mother is no longer alive." Chu Mengqing said in a sullen voice.
If my mother is alive and I hear the news of my relatives, I should be very happy.
turned out to be like this, Xiao Fenghuan deeply regretted: "My poor girl, why did she leave so early." ”
Seeing that it was a close relative, Chu Mengqing told Xiao Fenghuan about the situation at home.
Xiao Fenghuan was also very moved when he heard it, recalling the scene when he was separated from Rong Wanhua.
"At that time, I had just married your eldest uncle, your second uncle had not yet married, and your mother had not yet reached the end of the year, when Di Guo's army suddenly hit Chu County. The old lady, your grandfather, took the two ladies and our children and fled.
In the midst of the war, we were snatched and entangled, bullied, and lived in fear, not knowing what suffering awaited us tomorrow or how long the battle would last.
After fleeing in fear for two months, the old lady decided to lead everyone away from the war and flee to the country of Rong, where there was no war.
Rong Guoyuan, we fled for three whole months before we arrived, almost begging all the way over.
In the process of fleeing, the most heart-wrenching thing happened, your mother and second wife, that is, your mother's biological mother, were separated from us.
The rest of us went looking for it, and we searched back and forth several times, but we didn't find anything.
The old lady was in pain due to hard work, and couldn't bear the blow of being separated from your mother and second wife, so she was depressed and left on the road.
Even if we later came to Rong Kingdom and returned to our homeland, your uncle never gave up looking for your mother, mother and daughter, but unfortunately we didn't hear from them until he died. ”
It seems that the memories are too sad, Xiao Fenghuan's eyebrows are always locked, and his eyes are wet a few times.
Chu Mengqing couldn't bear to see Xiao Fenghuan like this, so she stepped forward and comforted softly: "Uncle, it's all over." ”
Xiao Fenghuan saw Chu Mengqing standing slim in front of him, and finally broke into a smile: "Yes, it's all over, God opened my eyes, and finally let me meet you." ”
When Bao heard Xiao Fenghuan's words, he realized that his sister-in-law still had such an experience, and he was distressed. Seeing Chu Mengqing and her relatives meet, she was overwhelmed with emotion, and tears appeared in her eyes unconsciously.
She has always pitied Chu Mengqing's experience, but now that she sees Chu Mengqing recognizing such a rich and kind uncle, she thinks that she still has close relatives in Chu County, and she is sincerely happy for her.
Rong Guangting on the side has been paying attention to the movement here, he didn't know that there was this past at home, and when he saw the women here crying and laughing, he walked over and said to Xiao Fenghuan: "My mother should be happy, I found my aunt's daughter, and our family is reunited." If Dad knows under the spring, he can rest in peace. ”
"Yes, yes, Ting'er is right, now that we are reunited, we should be happy." Xiao Fengqin sorted out her emotions and said happily.
Rong Guangting appeased Xiao Fenghuan, turned around and saluted Chu Mengqing, and said, "It turns out that you are your aunt's daughter, I don't know whether to call me sister or sister, I will be nineteen in a few months." ”
Chu Mengqing raised her head, saw the handsome boy in front of her clearly, and said softly, "Hello, cousin." ”
