Chapter 5: A Conversation with the Mother's Night
In just a few hours, Qin Ruobai showed his talent, deep scheming, filial piety and sensibility to the fullest.
But what puzzled him the most was the tenderness at a glance that was both strange and familiar.
The night was dark, and the guests were full of wine and food, and they dispersed in twos and threes.
Qin Zhu drank a lot of wine today, and was quite drunk, got up to see off the guests, and almost fell down in an instant when he turned around.
The second aunt hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and complained in a coquettish voice: "Master, the concubine knows that you are happy today, but you should pay attention to your own body, drunk like this, the concubine is ...... in body and mind."
was complaining, and seemed to say something embarrassing, he stopped his mouth, bowed his head slightly, his snow-white neck and blushing cheeks contrasted with each other, just exposed to Qin Zhu's eyes, only to feel that the second aunt was not like a woman in her thirties, but like a twenty-eight girl, shy and pleasant.
"Why didn't Yue'er continue to talk?Hmm?Do you feel sorry for me?" Qin Zhu was a rough man, he was drunk, and he didn't care that his daughters were there, so he laughed loudly.
The second aunt slammed his fist on his chest, and said angrily: "The master is really Meng Lang, and the lady and the two young ladies are here." ”
After that, she glanced at Jiang Cairong timidly and shyly.
Jiang Cairong looked at this scene coldly, her face was slightly pale, her heart was sour, and she got up and left immediately. Qin Ruobai wanted to stop her, but remembering that there was a pimple in her mother's heart, even if she stopped her, it would be useless, so she had to sigh.
Qin Zhu looked at her cold face and ruthless back, and his heart was also half cold, and he felt more and more that the second aunt was the woman who really felt sorry for him, while his wife ignored him. If he was close to his second aunt and made his wife jealous, even if she beat him and scolded him, it was more comfortable than a cold attitude, but she was always cold-faced and cold-hearted, which was unbearable.
Thinking about it, Qin Zhu snorted coldly, hugged his second aunt and left.
Qin Ruobai looked at the backs of the two of them, and felt quite uncomfortable. She knew that the knot in her mother's heart was that her father broke his oath and married his second aunt.
But my father married his second aunt as a last resort, and at first my father felt guilty and tried his best to make up for his mother, but his mother was like cold ice and refused to be thousands of miles away. Mo said that his father was a general, even if he ate soft rice, he couldn't withstand such a cold war, not to mention that the second aunt had good means, and she always separated the two without a trace, so the gap between the father and mother happened.
If you want to solve the estrangement between the two, you still have to start with the mother's heart, as long as the mother is willing to soften her attitude towards her father, where is there a place for the second aunt? But the mother's temperament seems to be soft, but she is really stubborn.
The lights flickered, and the thoughtful Qin Ruobai twisted his eyebrows.
Qin Ruozi on the side saw that his face was sad, covered his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Daddy and mother have gone to rest, the guests have also dispersed, my sister is not in good health, this night is heavy and heavy, it is better to rest early." ”
Qin Ruobai noticed that she was still here, and chuckled: "What my sister said, why can't my sister understand? Daddy obviously left with her aunt, why did my sister call her mother? If it spreads, it will be said that the daughter of our general's mansion is not separated." If you lose your father's face and your sister is punished, your sister will be distressed. ”
Although she smiled softly on her face, there was a hint of anger in her eyes, and every word she said was also vaguely sharp.
The smile froze on her face, Qin Ruozi was angry in her heart, but she couldn't attack, so she had to grit her teeth and smile forcefully: "What my sister said is that my sister made a mistake." ”
But in my heart, I became more and more puzzled, why was her sister so abnormal today, and she didn't let go of her fault, and the tolerance and love she used to treat herself were gone.
She couldn't figure it out, and she was afraid that she would not be able to control her anger if she stayed here, so she hurriedly took her leave.
Qin Ruobai pondered for a moment and got up to find his mother.
In Furong Garden, Jiang Cairong sent the maid, who was full of sadness, sitting alone and crying, when she suddenly heard the maid's report, saying that the eldest lady was here, and she was busy wiping her tears, lest she lose her temper in front of her daughter.
As soon as Qin Ruobai entered the door, he saw his mother's red eyes, his heart was sour, he closed the door and sat next to Jiang Cairong, and said distressedly: "Mother, why is this difficult?"
"You're still young, you don't have to worry about adults. Jiang Cairong stroked her daughter's hair and smiled softly, looking relieved.
Qin Ruobai grabbed her hand and said solemnly: "My daughter has already reached the end of her life this year, and she will be married soon, and she is no longer a child." What's more, how can I not worry about my father's affairs?"
Jiang Cairong was speechless for a while, sighed faintly, with sadness in her eyes, and said, "I just hope that my son will not follow in your mother's footsteps." ”
Qin Ruobai frowned, his tone became serious, and he said unhappily: "Don't blame your daughter for talking too much, I am not an unreasonable person when I look at my mother, I must be able to see that my father was not my wish back then, but my mother was always so cold, no matter how my father showed goodwill, he didn't react, and his father was naturally hooked by the woman who had the means." ”
Jiang Cairong looked at her daughter with some shock, her daughter and Qin Ruozi have a very good relationship, and even have always loved the second aunt, but now her daughter actually called the second aunt "a woman with good means", which is really strange.
But when you think about it, what my daughter said is also the truth.
Qin Ruobai understood the reason for her mother's surprise, and also understood the pain in her heart, so she sighed and said: "My daughter knows that my mother is unwilling to serve a husband with other women, but my mother has ever thought that my father is willing to let my mother suffer like this? Over the years, apart from the second aunt, where are there other women in the house? Father doesn't even have a room, just ask the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, which one can be like Daddy?"
Jiang Cairong was silent, she had to admit that she had been too cold to Qin Zhu over the years, and she had also ignored everything he had done for herself. It's just that the second aunt is always a thorn in her heart, and if she doesn't pull it out, she will always torture her.
Qin Ruobai knew that his mother had been moved, his face softened, and he said bitterly: "My mother is also a sensible person, how can I not know that in this huge general's mansion, my father's heart is the most important." If Daddy is really hooked by the second aunt, where is there still a foothold for you and me?"
After the death of his mother in his previous life, his father remembered the gentleness and thoughtfulness of his second aunt over the years, and straightened her, and Qin Ruozi also became a concubine, and the two were extremely honored.
In this life, she will not let this femme fatale mother and daughter get their wish.
Jiang Cairong was still silent, her eyes full of struggle. She wanted to be happy and harmonious with Qin Zhu's family of three, but when she thought of the second aunt and Qin Zhu's appearance, she felt resentful in her heart, and she couldn't pull down her face to be gentle with Qin Zhu at all. What's more, even if she wanted to ease the relationship, Qin Zhu's heart might not return to her.
Seeing this, Qin Ruobai bit her lips lightly, her heart seemed to be struggling, and finally her eyes became firm, she looked around, and when she saw that there was nothing unusual, she said: "Don't hide it from my mother, yesterday's daughter fell into the water, and it was the second sister's personal girl bead curtain." ”
"What?" Jiang Cairong was shocked, and a wave of anger rushed to her heart. She was not stupid, she immediately knew that it was the second aunt and Qin Ruozi's instructions. Although the second aunt shared her man, she and Qin Ruozi were okay with their daughter, which was one of the reasons why she was able to endure it, but this actually assassinated her daughter, which is intolerable no matter what, teach her how not to be angry?
However, as a mother, her daughter was almost killed under her nose, she was distressed and blamed herself, only feeling that she had only cared about her own mood all these years, completely ignoring her daughter's situation in the house, and she really did not fulfill her mother's obligations.
Qin Ruobai hit the railway while it was hot: "Her mother and daughter are like snakes and scorpions, and we were all deceived by them in the past." If you think about it, if they dare to frame their daughters, they are ambitious, how can such people allow them to be in the house?"
"If what Bai said is reasonable, in the past, my mother was too selfish and didn't protect you. It's just how to deal with them?" Jiang Cairong looked at her daughter distressedly, tears oozed from her eyes, she felt that her daughter had grown up a lot overnight, and she couldn't help but blame herself even more, hating herself for not being able to create a carefree growth environment for Qin Ruobai.
Qin Ruobai's heart was sour, a woman is a mother, and her mother still has a chance to protect herself, but she can't even protect her unborn child. Thinking of this, her eyes crossed fiercely, and she strengthened her heart to deal with Qin Ruozi's mother and daughter.
At this time, she knew that her mother's fighting spirit had been stimulated, and it would be much easier to persuade her to soften her attitude towards her father. As long as the mother and father are reconciled, the second aunt is not afraid.
The mother and daughter talked at night, and the two shadows, one big and one small, swayed on the paper window, which was quite intimate.
