Chapter Ninety-Five: Courage
The sun sets unusually early in winter.
Although the sky had darkened, it was not yet the time of dawn and dusk.
At this time, in the east warm pavilion of the main room of Chaohui Courtyard, Hua Hui, Hua Chen, and Hua Jin, the three sisters and sisters, knelt down for Mrs. Tai together.
Not only Mother Hang, who served in the house, and the four big maids Xichun, Nianxia, Qiuqiu, and Fudong, but even Mrs. Tai showed a surprised expression.
"Something to say!" Mrs. Tai lowered her head and looked at the three people kneeling on the side of the kang, her face was pleasant, but the back of her tense hand revealed her emotions.
Hang's mother took Xichun and Nian Xia to step forward and helped the three masters up respectively.
Hua Hui took out the letter from her sleeve pocket, and tears fell from her eyes.
"Why did the young lady cry when she was so decent?" Mother Hang stepped forward and took the things in Hua Hui's hand, turned around and presented them to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai opened the letterhead, and when she saw the word Heli on it, she was not too surprised, after all, she had already gotten the news when the Zhao family came to make trouble.
But looking down along the title, although it was divided into two halves, the names of both sides could still be clearly recognized, and Mrs. Tai's face couldn't help but tense all of a sudden.
Then, her hand slapped heavily on the red sandalwood carved magpie kang table beside her, making a "pop" sound.
Surprised, a voice with anger resounded in the room where the needle could be heard, "What the hell is going on?" Heli is such a big thing, how can you juniors make decisions on their own? ”
Hua Hui stood in the middle of her younger siblings, just holding a handkerchief to wipe her tears, so sobbed that she couldn't even speak.
This is also what Hua Chen and Hua Jin instructed when they entered the door, if Mrs. Tai asked, she didn't have to say anything, just show some grievances.
Hua Chen took a step forward, "Grandmother, today the Zhao family sent a slave to the door. ”
Mrs. Tai bowed, "Grandmother only heard about this later, but isn't the Zhao family's intention because Zhao Xin was injured when he returned home, and he wants to make trouble for our family?" It's a big deal that we take some silver, but how did it end up like this? ”
The Zhao family's thoughts are clearly revealed, how can silver be able to send it.
Hua Jin stepped forward with a pair of beaded boots, and the beads on the boots emitted a soft light, but it was extremely dazzling in Mrs. Tai's eyes.
In the past, people liked to wear embroidered shoes with beads, but now they ...... Mrs. Tai's hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched tightly into a fist.
"Grandmother, because the Zhao family came to the door, my granddaughter and brother were very depressed when they saw my sister, so they thought about taking her to buy a few boxes of rouge on West Street to make her happy." After speaking, he followed Mrs. Tai's line of sight and looked down at his shoes.
An unusually pleasant voice sounded, but Mrs. Tai frowned as if she hadn't heard it.
"Grandmother." It wasn't until Hua Chen's voice sounded again that Mrs. Sun came back to her senses.
"It's not right for my grandson to take his sister and sister out on his own initiative, but I didn't expect to be intercepted by Zhaofu's carriage on the road."
Mrs. Tai showed a shocked expression and glanced at the letter of separation in her hand, "Is it to stop you from signing this letter of harmony?" ”
Hua Chen's head was bowed.
"It's just too deceitful!" Mrs. Tai's hand holding and leaving the book slapped heavily on the kang table, "At the beginning, their Zhao family also carried away our granddaughter Ming Media of the Marquis of Jingning Mansion with eight sedan chairs, but now they are using this kind of means that they can't take the table to force Hui'er and Li, and they don't take our family seriously." ”
Mother Hang stepped forward and raised her hand to help Mrs. Tai smooth out, "Mrs. Tai, now that the raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, you should be careful that you are angry." ”
A sentence of cooked rice made Mrs. Tai sigh heavily, "It's me who didn't take care of the second girl." ”
At this time, Hua Hui knelt at Mrs. Tai's feet again, "Grandmother, please ask grandmother to take in her granddaughter, her granddaughter has no way to retreat now." ”
Mrs. Tai waved her hand, and Xichun stepped forward to help Hua Hui again.
"Silly girl, this is your home, and now it is your sister who is in charge of the affairs of the yard, and the food and clothing are still in accordance with the original routine before marriage. When your grandmother is alive for a day, she will never wronged you. ”
"Thank you, grandmother." Hua Hui brushed Xichun's hand, knelt down again and kowtowed to Mrs. Tai three times, and then got up again.
Mrs. Tai waved her hand again, "I have suffered such a big grievance, let's go back and rest early." ”
Knowing that Mrs. Tai had no intention of dealing with them anymore, Hua Hui took Hua Chen and Hua Jin to give Mrs. Tai a farewell ceremony, and then withdrew from Chaohui Courtyard together.
Out of the yard, Hua Chen actually had the urge to high-five his sister Hua Jin.
Seeing a smile on his sister's little face, he unconsciously grinned and showed a big smile.
"Brother, let's come to the inner courtyard for dinner in the evening, and my sister will add two dishes to the kitchen. My sister can be regarded as a new life, let's come to Xiaohe. ”
Hua Chen nodded, "What I want to celebrate most is that Zhao Xin, a scum, will never be able to stand up again in this life." ”
Hua Jin raised his lips and smiled, "Maybe Zhao Xin's final fate is far more than that." ”
Hua Chen bowed his head, "The more miserable the end, the better." ”
Hua Hui saw that her younger siblings were happy, and she felt comforted in her heart.
She has been away from the Zhang family for three years, and now she has come back to realize that things are wrong, many things are not what she once saw, even the grandmother who used to be the most loving, is now more and more unclear.
Only this pair of siblings, no matter what she has done, still open their hearts and wait for her here, such a help for her.
This is the real mother's compatriot!
Seeing that Hua Hui was still a little gloomy, Hua Jin couldn't help but feel relieved: "Sister, think about your determination when you clenched the knife. If my sister can make the decision to kill someone, why don't she have the courage to start over? ”
Hua Chen also agreed, "Sister, what my sister said is right! ”
Hearing Hua Jin say this, Hua Hui's heart was shocked and she looked at the sunset setting in the sky.
Today has come to an end, but she still has tomorrow, she is only eighteen years old, and there are still many tomorrows.
She still has a lot to do in the future, but all she needs to do now is to take her younger siblings' hands and have someone in front of them to shelter them from the wind and rain.
Hua Hui puffed up her chest slightly, took Hua Chen with one hand and Hua Jin with the other, and walked towards Hongxun Courtyard.
…………
Leling Zhao Mansion.
The carriage of the Zhao family stopped at the east corner gate, but the driver of the car was nowhere to be seen.
The concierge came out and opened the curtain of the car, and found the driver and Qian's mother lying side by side in the car.
Got people into the mansion and informed Mrs. Bo Zhong.
Zhong asked his subordinates to pinch Qian's mother's people and poured her a cup of hot tea.
Mother Qian opened her eyes and looked at the environment in front of her in a bit of a daze.
"Didn't you go to threaten the Zhang family, why did you come back like this?"
Mother Qian rolled her eyes, and suddenly jumped down from the soft collapse, "Madam, the slave maid has been plotted by someone." ”
