Chapter 35: Mother's Worries
In the morning, when the maid Ah Chu was about to insert the Xue Han hairpin into Ren Cailing's hair, she heard Liu's mother's hurried shout.
"What's the matter?"
"Madam, just now when I was shopping for groceries, I heard Xiao Shi, who sells newspapers, say that there was a shooting in the hospital last night. So, I bought one and came back. "Mother Liu has been in Xiao's house for more than 30 years and is loyal, she handed the newspaper over and walked away. Ren Cailing took it and read it, and sure enough, the newspaper clearly published the story of the shootout, and also killed a doctor. In a hurry, she hurried to her daughter's room.
"Tongtong, Tongtong." Ren Cailing pushed open the room, but found that her daughter had already gotten up.
"Where will she go?" Ren Caiqin, who was standing in the room, said to herself.
Ah Chu, who followed her, said, "Madam, Ah Jiu said that he saw Miss in the back garden just now. ”
In the garden, the crystal clear dew flutters at the tips of the leaves like glass beads. This reminded Xiao Yuntong involuntarily of Wei Yingwu's "Song of Dewdrops" in the Tang Dynasty: "A drop of dew in autumn lotus falls into the sky at night." In the future, on the jade plate, it is uncertain to know the circle. "The purity and movement of the dew are portrayed realistically.
Seeing her daughter walking around the garden, Ren Cailing was also much more down-to-earth.
"Tongtong, I heard that there was a shooting in your hospital?"
Seeing his mother, Xiao Yuntong stopped: "Mother, who did you listen to?" ”
"It's all in the newspapers. A doctor was killed. Ren Cailing said with a heartfelt heart: "Child, come home, there is food and accommodation at home, and I don't care about the money." ”
"Mom, it's not a matter of money or not, women should also have their own careers independently."
"Look at you, you shouldn't have let you go out in the first place, what career do women want, marry a good husband, and teach their children at home." Looking at her mother's stubbornness, Xiao Yuntong couldn't say anything, she knew that the idea that a woman was virtuous if she was not talented was deeply rooted.
"Mother, aren't I very good now, I'm fine." She comforted: "I believe there will be no next time, the newspapers are all nonsense, there are no doctors who have been killed, just scratches and skin." ”
Ren Cailing lowered her eyes and sighed in a low voice: "The current situation is so chaotic now. ”
Knowing that her mother was worried, Xiao Yuntong held her hand and coquettishly said: "Don't worry, I can really take care of myself." ”
Ren Cailing looked at her and said, "How are you getting along with Team Tang?" I heard that your Aunt Wei's nephew is also very good, and she brought it up again yesterday when she came. ”
At this moment, Xiao Yuntong's heart was in turmoil, she was a little suspicious of Tang Qizhen's feelings for her, and after a few words, she went upstairs.
The gentle mist paints the sky of Shanghai with a soft milky white, turning the buildings of different heights into hazy and psychedelic colors.
Xiao Yuntong, who was standing in front of the window, exhaled softly: If only there was no war! The war has depressed the increasingly prosperous cities, leaving thousands of people homeless, causing countless righteous people to shed their blood, making their families more miserable and their countries poorer.
Seeing a wisp of red in the sky, Xiao Yuntong changed his clothes and walked downstairs. Garden-style garden, pavilions and pavilions show the owner's quiet and elegant nature.
After walking a few steps, he heard a whimper from the pavilion. She crept up quietly. saw Xiao Cui, who had just entered the door, constantly wiping her tears under the tree.
"Xiaocui, what's wrong with you?"
"Miss." Seeing her, Xiaocui hurriedly wiped away the tears on her cheeks. Xiaocui was married to Jin Biao a while ago, because she is a maid and a concubine, so she basically doesn't call her any relatives, but she just goes through the process.
Xiao Yuntong sat beside her happily and asked softly, "Is it uncomfortable there?"
"No, no." Xiao Cui shook her head desperately.
"I'll give you a pulse," Xiao Yuntong took her hand without saying anything. Rolling up his sleeves, he found that his hands were purple and stumped. She was stunned, he thought that the second brother was just lazy and playful, and he didn't think so roughly.
Cui withdrew her hand and tried to cover it with her sleeve.
"He hit you?" Xiao Yuntong said indignantly: "My father is going!" ”
"No, no!" Hearing that she was going to find Jin Biao's theory, Xiaocui held her hand tightly and begged, "Miss, don't go." I beg you. ”
Xiao Yuntong glanced at her with pity, how many people have created their incomplete lives because of their cowardice in character.
"Wait!" Xiao Yuntong noticed that her pulse was a little abnormal, and hurriedly told her to stop.
"Do you always feel stuffy in your chest these days, and your bowel and bowel movements are not normal?"
"Miss, how do you know? Am I sick? Xiao Cui said with a sad face. All her monthly money was robbed by the third young master, and she was really afraid that she would run out of money to see a doctor.
"It's okay" Xiao Yuntong patted her palm and said, "Xiaocui, you are pregnant, I will go and tell my father and mother." ”
At this time, the maid came over: "Miss, Miss Zhou is looking for you." ”
Xiao Yuntong then remembered that a few days ago, he made an appointment with Zhou Ning to go to the tailor shop to make cheongsam.
"Xiaocui, you wait, I will definitely seek justice for you when I come back in the evening!"
Zhou Ning, who was standing in the hall, was still dressed as a student, and the light cyan student clothes were pure and refined on her.
"Zhou Ning, you're here."
"Cousin." Zhou Ning brought the gift in his hand to her and said, "This is the osmanthus cake made by my mother this morning, take it to you to taste."
"Thank you, cousin, for me." Xiao Yuntong sniffed through the thick oil paper, and immediately got drunk, and a thin fragrance poured into his heart, it was really full of August osmanthus fragrance. The cakes made at the right time of year are also very attractive.
In the tailor shop, Zhou Ning walked out shyly. The small and delicate figure is even more graceful.
"Cousin." Look at Zhou Ning who came out in a cheongsam.
Xiao Yuntong's eyes lit up. The white cheongsam all sets off Zhou Ning's elegance and beauty. The neckline of the cheongsam is a small silver edge, delicate but not luxurious. A small patch of emerald green is embroidered underneath, and a pink lotus flower is contrasted with it.
"Very good!" Xiao Yuntong praised: "What a little beauty."
"My cousin would make fun of me." Zhou Ning turned around and entered the fitting room.
Xiao Yuntong chose a round-necked dark flower cheongsam with black tassels, which not only showed her elegant charm, dignified and dignified, but also enhanced Tingting's temperament.
After choosing the cheongsam, the two happily left the cheongsam shop.
