Chapter Eighty-Six: Asking the Heavens Angrily
Xiu'er proposed to take Qixi as the theme, let her cousin-in-law take the lead in composing poems, I wanted to embarrass my cousin-in-law, but I didn't think that my cousin-in-law was amazing, and she took the lead, seeing that everyone admired her cousin, Xiu'er gritted her teeth with hatred, she had to seize the time to divert her cousin's attention, and she couldn't let people continue to praise her cousin, it was not good to make poems, her typed draft had already been compared to her cousin-in-law, after all, it was Xiu'er, she was smart, she rolled her eyes, and the topic changed and said:
"The poetry made by my cousin is beautiful, but if there is a poem without a piano, it is like having wine without a song, and it is not lively.
After speaking, without waiting for everyone to speak, he took the piano held by Bingxin, put the piano on the table casually, plucked it a few times, tried the sound, and played it gently.
Xiu'er's piano skills are really a must, only a few strokes, it successfully diverted everyone's attention, the flower hall instantly quieted down, only the night breeze and Xiu'er's piano sound like flowing clouds and water, echoed in the air, Xiao Jun gradually became fascinated.
Mengxi saw that the second master was listening obsessively, and felt that she was a talented woman here, she was really a superfluous person here, and she was a little tired after a busy day, so she quietly got up and said to the old lady, the old lady nodded and agreed, and then quietly retreated with Zhiqiu and others.
At the end of the song, it took a long time for everyone to come to their senses, and even the old lady kept praising Xiu'er's ingenuity, Xiu'er nodded approvingly when she saw her cousin, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, this round, she won.
A faint fragrance drifted into Xiao Jun's nose with the wind, and he took a sip:
"Chun'er, what are you carrying, it's so fragrant"
"Father, it's this, the purse given by my mother, the fragrance is very special, Chun'er has never seen it before, Chun'er likes it very much, my father smells it"
Xiao Jun took Chun'er's purse and sniffed it, he had never smelled it before, it should be several incense together, faint, if there is nothing, it is very elegant, so that he has a sense of stability.
In fact, the spices that Mengxi prepared for the children already had a calming effect.
Xiao Jun naturally likes all kinds of strange fragrances, and when I see them today, I can't wait to ask my daughter, according to them, Xi'er has such a fragrance, and she doesn't even give it to him, doesn't she know that he likes these by nature? Thinking of the aroma that made his heart pound in the sedan chair that day, he turned his head to look, where was the shadow of the plain-faced person, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart, as if he had lost something very important.
Mengxi took Zhiqiu back to the east wing, because of the wine, a little excited, looking at the tangram fruit he made with his own hands, his heart moved, thinking of the begging thing, ordered Zhiqiu and others to put the incense case in the backyard, put the tangram fruit, tea, wine, etc., put the candlestick, incense burner, and lit incense and candles, and ordered the maids to withdraw and close the garden gate.
Mengxi picked up the needle and thread prepared in advance, twisted the thread, aimed it at the eye of the needle, and then closed his eyes and said silently:
"The sky is above, I Li Mengxi do not seek wealth and nobility, I only want to be able to leave Xiao Mansion safely, but I want to find a good person in this life, live a life of male ploughing and female weaving, and a life of a couple, if this wish can be realized, I will thread a needle"
After speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at the eye of the needle, and pierced it.
Empty!
The thread didn't pass through the eye of the needle, looking at the needle and thread in her hand in a daze, Mengxi was sad for a while, extremely desolate, although she had been preparing to leave the mansion, but she knew that in this ancient era where men were inferior to women, she had been branded as the Xiao family, and it was really difficult to leave the Xiao Mansion.
Is it destined that she will be alone with the green lantern ancient Buddha in this life? She was unwilling. There was a trace of despair in his heart, looking up at the sky, just now the starry sky was still thousands of miles, at this time there were a little dark clouds, looming to cover the crescent moon, in the Xiao Mansion for a long time The depression broke out instantly, and the chest suddenly became angry, looking at the sky and saying angrily:
"God, are you blind? I want to be a wisp of ghost in Li Mengxi, I came to this unaccompanied Daqi alone, and was forced to rejoice on behalf of my sister, since the Xiao family has ancestral training, the concubine is not allowed to become the wife of the head of the Xiao family, I have no intention of offending, let alone seeking the wealth of the Xiao family, I just want to be able to leave safely one day when I am taken off from the court, find a good person, and live a life of one life and a couple, is this too much to ask? Why don't you allow it! ”
Mengxi pointed at the high blue sky again and asked:
"The sky is above, the Buddha said: In the red dust, all living beings are equal, but why does the husband have the righteousness to remarry, and the woman has no two suitable texts, since the ancestors of the Xiao family can't tolerate me, why can't I go down to the court to beg and find another lover, why can he have three wives and four concubines, but I want to be with the green lantern for a long time, is this the fate you said? Men and women should be equal, but you prefer men to respect women and women, and you want to treat women harshly, aren't you raised by women! God is unfair, unfair, and unjust, I, Li Mengxi is dissatisfied, unwilling, and angry, since the sky does not follow my wishes today, from now on, I! Li Mengxi swore that he would no longer believe that the sky had eyes, and my life was up to me! ”
In the midst of the rage, the sky had gathered rolling dark clouds at some point, and suddenly, accompanied by a series of lightning, a thunderclap was struck, which also woke up the angry Dream Creek.
Damn, God! You don't want to play me to death, but if you complain a few words, and there is no real red apricot out of the wall, you will use thunder!
With the pouring rain pouring down, it also drenched Mengxi's anger, and his heart gradually calmed down, standing in the rain, Mengxi found that this God's anger is much more powerful than their second master's Xiao Erye's anger, and it is better to provoke less
After the baptism of *, the anger in Mengxi's chest has become dull, and her heart has become stronger, but tonight's begging has left a lingering shadow in her heart.
After the Tangram Festival, Xiao Jun, who has fully recovered his body, is even busier, often leaving early and returning late, and the number of times the show girl comes to Xiao Xiangyuan is also less, and she has fought enough with her aunt, her cousin is not there, she is too lazy to come, the show girl spends most of her time coaxing the old lady and the eldest lady, she knows that these two people are very important to enter the Xiao Mansion.
Although the show girl does not come, but the second master still lives in the upper room, rarely goes to the garden, this day the second master came back very early, find someone to pass on Mengxi, let her clean up, he has to go out for half a month, Mengxi really doesn't know what this ancient person has to prepare when he goes out? She doesn't know if the items in this ancient inn are also as full of life as a modern five-star hotel, just go to live directly, and she doesn't know much about the daily habits of the second master, I want to ask, look at the iceberg face, swallowed the words to her mouth, and asked someone to pass on the eldest aunt, and directly ordered her to arrange a dot, the eldest aunt listened, and looked at the second grandmother puzzled, such a good opportunity to get close to the second master, why did the second grandmother let her do it?
The second master went out of the house, Mengxi had been thinking about it for a long time, she had long wanted to go out of the house to go shopping, but there was no chance, the second master went out for half a month, but it was a rare opportunity.
