Chapter 174: If Life Is Only as First Seen

Chapter 174

If life is only as it first seems

The days of summer are long, and I see that the unitary time has passed. The sky has just been darkened, the second door has already been locked, Aunt Cui is dressed up neatly and turning around the room, Wu'er stood on the side and looked dazzled, and said in her heart:

This Aunt Cui is also really energetic, she got up so early in the morning, she didn't sleep all day, and now it's useless for dinner, and she walks so much, she has the heart to stop her to rest, and she thinks of her cruelty, how dare she disturb, and she stands there with her eyes and turns around with Aunt Cui.

Finally, Aunt Cui got tired, stopped, looked at Wu'er and asked:

"What time has it been, has the second master not believed it?"

"It's a minute, it's not early, auntie let's have some food first, auntie hasn't eaten much in a day"

"It's okay"

Listening to Aunt Cui's words, Wu'er breathed a sigh of relief. I was about to call the little maid to pass the meal, but I was stopped by Aunt Cui again.

"Forget it, in case the second master comes over while eating, it's too late to touch up the makeup, let the second master look embarrassed, wait a minute"

"But auntie, if the second master comes, and you have to serve the second master, how can you have time to eat?"

"Zuo is just a dinner, and he can't starve to death, I knew that the second master hadn't come back so late, and I had dinner earlier, so I'll wait until this time, just wait, is the second master still with the old lady?"

"I think it's still there, Si'er is waiting at the gate of Xiao Xiangyuan, which courtyard the second master goes to, he has to pass by there, or the slave maid will take a look?"

"Forget it, Si'er is doing things steadily, you just stay here, this is that Bai Lan?"

As Aunt Cui was talking, a faint fragrance wafted into her nose, the fragrance was unique and strong, and she hurriedly walked to the incense burner to watch and smell carefully.

"Yes, auntie, the slave has just been lit. At this time, the aroma came out, auntie, you smell it, it smells so good."

"Well, the second master must like it, no wonder the fox spirit is reluctant to give, I said, two years ago, the second master actually ran into her and Aunt Li's house, it turned out that he used this to seduce the second master, this fragrant Xihan, the second master likes it again, be careful in the future, the second master will come and order again, don't use it on weekdays."

"Yes, slaves know what to do."

As she was talking, she saw Si'er listlessly pushing the door in, and when Aunt Cui saw it, she panicked and asked:

"The second master is back, whose garden did you go to, Aunt Zhang's?"

After speaking, Si'er looked at her and was silent. The eyes suddenly stood up:

"Speak, dumb! It's the vixen when you think about it, isn't it? ”

"Back to my aunt, the second master came back early, and went directly to the main room, and the slave maid waited outside and did not dare to leave, afraid that the second master would come to our garden after returning to the main house to deal with affairs, but the slave and maid waited left and right, and there was no movement, so I secretly inquired about the little maid, only to know that the second master ate wine at night, said that he was tired, and ordered someone to go to the east chamber to call the second grandmother to rub her feet, and now she has rested."

When Aunt Cui heard this, she sat for a long time, grabbed the teacup on the case and threw it away, and said:

"How can this be, the second master never let the second grandmother serve."

The fourth and fifth children were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and said tremblingly:

"Auntie is angry, it stands to reason that the second master will stay in the upper room on the first night of his return home, this is the rule, the second master is a very well-behaved person, today is just for the next person to see, tomorrow, the second master will definitely come."

Mengxi sat on the embroidery pier next to the bed, gently pressed the second master's feet, and raised his eyes to scan the room. Since the second master recovered from his illness last time, she has not stepped into this room for two years, and when she comes in again, there is a feeling that things are wrong, the red color in her impression has long been replaced, and she can no longer see that this was her and his cave room, there is no memory of him and her here, listening to the snoring sound from **, Mengxi stopped what she was doing, gently covered the second master with a thin blanket, and motioned for Hongzhu to go out, and she also walked out with her feet in her hands.

Hearing the gentle sound of the door closing, Xiao Jun opened his eyes, looked at Mengxi's departing figure, a trace of melancholy swept through his heart, after he fell in love with her, she and him had become strangers, he was standing in front of her, but she didn't know his heart.

Mengxi woke up when he covered him with a blanket, he didn't open his eyes, expecting her to be like she did at the wedding, and when he fell asleep, she gently crossed his body. Lying down against the wall, the distance between them was visible at that time, and now, she was standing in front of him, but he couldn't feel where her heart was, could they go back to the beginning?

How good it would be if life was only as it was when I first saw it, but now I can only look at her back, but I dare not tell her that he loves her.

It's been a long time since I've worked so hard, and Mengxi is a little uncomfortable and comes back from the upper room. Rested early. But the next morning, she still couldn't get up, she was dragged out of bed by Zhiqiu, waited to wash her face, sat in front of the dressing mirror and was still a little confused, Zhiqiu combed her hair while saying:

"The second master is back, and he lives in the upper room again, according to the rules, the second grandmother is going to go over to ask the second master for peace today, don't miss the hour, and let the second master pick the gift"

"When he was in the past, didn't he have to go to him to say goodbye, he went directly to the old lady's place, and he didn't know how long it was, he was his own son and it was okay a while later, but I was raised by my stepmother, and I couldn't delay for a moment, you didn't see the eyes of the eldest lady looking at me every day, and she looked like she couldn't eat me."

"But the second grandmother ......"

"Don't do this and that, everything is according to the old rules, that's it, he comes back this time, we should also have a result, urge Li Du in the past two days, the affairs of the outer house, hurry up, I can't keep it in ten days and half a month."

Zhiqiu listened to the words of the second grandmother, the hand holding the comb couldn't help but tremble, the comb almost fell to the ground, although with the strength of Yichun Hall, the second grandmother went out of the house to survive, it is not difficult, although she also thinks that the second grandmother is not a good person, but the deep-rooted idea of the woman in her mind from the beginning to the end makes her subconsciously not want the second grandmother to be dismissed, after all, the second grandmother and the second master are round.

Even if the second grandmother can really laugh at the rivers and lakes. Loose between the mountains and rivers, but after all, it is a kind of wandering life, destined not to be accepted by the world, destined to be lonely for a lifetime, although she has already decided that if there is really that day, she will not marry in her life, to accompany the second grandmother, but every time I think of these, I still feel hopeless in my heart, and there is always a trace of expectation in my heart, hoping that a good person like the second grandmother can have a happy and complete future.

Looking at Zhiqiu's hand stopped in mid-air from the mirror, Mengxi sighed unconsciously, this Zhiqiu, her painstaking brainwashing in the past two years has not changed her much, she still stubbornly thinks that ** should be started from the beginning, even if this Xiao Mansion can eat people, even if she doesn't interact with the second master for a lifetime, as long as she hangs the title of second wife.

This makes Mengxi unusually decadent, a Zhiqiu who hates the second master so much, she can't change it, let alone the feudal system of male superiority and female inferiority that she hates.

"Move fast"

"Oh"

Zhiqiu came back to his senses, hurriedly answered, and quickly pulled up a lily bun for the second grandmother, Mengxi looked left and right from the mirror, and nodded. Only then did Zhichun get up and wait for Zhichun to change into a gouache and lily brocade dress that had been prepared earlier, and clean up, Zhichun circled around the second grandmother, and said excitedly:

"The second grandmother is beautiful, she can be seen in whatever she wears, the color of this dress is too simple, the slave maid thought it wouldn't be too good to wear, but I didn't expect to wear it on the second grandmother, it's light, indescribably elegant, I want to be tempted when I see it, I don't know if I can charm the second master"

Mengxi, who was praised for her beauty, listened to Zhichun's last sentence, and her face fell unconsciously.

Damn, they put so much effort into dressing her up, so that she could seduce the second master!

Poke Zhichun's head with your finger:

"You, don't talk about what you don't have, stay in the house honestly"

Zhichun vomited**, Zhiqiu simply "bah", provoked Zhichun to pinch her waist and stare at her with a pair of big eyes as if she was murderous.

Mengxi directly helped Zhiqiu and walked out, these two people quarreled as soon as they opened their eyes, and there was no day to stop, so it was better to separate them and be quiet.

As soon as I got out of the door, I couldn't help but be stunned, I saw Hongzhu waiting outside the door, chatting with Zhixia and Zhidong, and the three of them stopped talking when they saw the second grandmother coming out, and stepped forward to say hello to the second grandmother, Mengxi asked puzzledly:

"Hongzhu came over so early, why didn't she come into the house? Zhixia is too, and he won't go in to report it."

"Second grandma, don't blame Zhixia, it was the slave maid who didn't let her go in to report, and the second master told the slave and maid to wait here for the second grandmother to come out, so that they could go to the Shouxi Hall together to say goodbye."

"Together, with whom?"

Hearing this, Hongzhu glanced at the second grandmother suspiciously, and said secretly: This second grandmother is really confused, there is still no need to ask.

But when the master asked, he couldn't help but answer, and hurriedly replied:

"Of course it's the second master, according to the rules, the second grandmother and the second master should go to the Shouxi Hall together to ask for peace"

Catching a glimpse of Hongzhu's eyes, Mengxi was also a little unnatural, and she couldn't bite off **, how could she ask such an idiotic question, it seemed that they hadn't asked for peace together since they got married, and she didn't turn the corner for a while.

Zhiqiu on the side coughed and asked:

"Is the second master waiting in the upper room, let's go over"

Hongzhu nodded in response, then turned around and led the way in front of the head, just arrived at the door of the hall, and was about to go in, only to see that the second master had come out dressed neatly, Mengxi stepped forward and lightly blessed:

"Second Master An"

"Second Master An" Zhiqiu also stepped forward to ask for An.

"Well, it's not too early, let's go"

Glancing at Mengxi, a hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Jun's eyes, and suddenly he returned to his usual coldness. After nodding his head, he strode forward.

Zhiqiu and Mengxi glanced at each other and slowly followed.

When the group came to the second gate, Mengxi was dumbfounded, where did her sedan chair go, only a sedan chair stood there alone, and the four little maids and two mothers-in-law stood aside in a regular manner.

Seeing the second master and the second grandmother coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye, Hongzhu had stepped forward to open the sedan curtain, Xiao Jun saw Mengxi standing in the sedan chair where his eyes were turning around looking for her, the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a sly smile, Mengxi's eyes finally fell on the second master, and said secretly:

It must be a ghost that he did, could he also follow his vicious old lady and punish her, so that she could follow the sedan chair?。.。
