Chapter 99: The Truth (2)
"Ran'er is here, my mother has been waiting for you at the door." Dong Yuqing gently held Zhu Ran's hand, and the affection in his eyes was something other than love.
Zhu Ran held Dong Yuqing back, looked at Dong Yuqing's eyes, and shouted: "Mother." ”
Dong Yuqing subconsciously dodged, his eyes turned red instantly, and he said softly: "Come into the house, my mother has something to tell you." ”
Zhu Ran held back the sourness in his eyes, lowered his head and said, "Well, let's go into the house and say." ”
After entering the house, the atmosphere in the house is quiet and breathless. It wasn't until You'er brought white fungus lotus seed soup to Zhuran that Dong Yuqing said: "Ran'er is a lot thinner than before, so I have to eat more on weekdays." ”
"The mother also needs to eat more, so that her body can be more healthy, so that her daughter can remember less." Zhu Ran put down the porridge bowl, looked at Dong Yuqing's haggard appearance, and said distressedly.
"You all go down first, I will talk to the princess of the side, and no one of you will be allowed to come in." Dong Yuqing looked at the maid beside him and Ruoyi and Wutong who were standing on Zhuran's side.
When the door was taken by the maid who went out, Dong Yuqing fell his eyes on Zhu Ran's face, and wanted to say something, but he sighed and didn't know how to speak.
Seeing this, Zhu Ran said to Dong Yuqing with a smile: "Mother has something unspeakable, that is, it is difficult to say, and it is not necessarily a bad thing not to talk about it to others." ”
"Ran'er" two lines of tears have flowed out of Dong Yuqing's eyes. Dong Yuqing hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief and said: "Although you have grown up, there are some things that you don't want to mention to you, but now, I have to tell you, even if my mother doesn't tell you, I can't stop others from talking about it behind my back." Instead of listening to other people's words, it is better for me, the client, to explain the matter and the situation. ”
Twenty years ago, in the middle of summer, the sky was clear and cloudy......
In the study of Dong Zhai, a stubborn middle-aged man was discussing his studies with two high-spirited young men. That stubborn man is my father.,The famous Confucian,Dong Haojie。 And the two young men, one is named Du Yanzhuo, and the other is called Zhuchangjun.
As a young lady in the house, they and I inevitably see each other from time to time. When I saw Du Yanzhuo for the first time, I felt that he was dignified and handsome, especially the thick eyebrows above his eyes, which were as heroic as a mountain.
Father Dong Haojie is old and has a daughter,I am very partial to me。 Although it is straightforward, it never interferes with my entry and exit from the house.
Sometimes Du Yanzhuo came to ask my father for knowledge, I eavesdropped outside, sometimes I thought I had a high opinion in my heart, volunteered, went into the house to state, every time the family said, my father preferred me and did not want to say it, Du Yanzhuo was personable and would not say it, I was proud. came and went, and they had feelings for each other.
Father Dong Haojie and the prime minister of the dynasty Qian Yanze were classmates and friends when they were young,Friends of cloth and clothes,Later, Qian Yanze took the official career,But the two families still move around from time to time,So I have known each other since I was a child,The relationship is very good。
On weekdays, when I have nothing to do, I will get together with Du Yanzhuo, Qian Sister-in-law, Zhuchangjun and others in private, play the piano and write poems, drink tea and paint.
Then it was the night of the Qixi Festival. I went out with my wife. The streets are brightly lit and bustling with people.
We went to the couplet every year, and each time we went home with a big victory, and after winning the silver, we went to the tavern to buy wine and drink until dawn.
That time we met our opponents, Du Yanzhuo was indeed talented, and easily connected to what I thought was an obscure uplink. In the evening, the three of us went to the tavern together. In the end, we all went back drunk. On the way back, I staggered along, and suddenly felt a pair of hands behind me firmly supporting me, and when I turned around, I saw that it was Du Yanzhuo.
After exchanging loves, I did not go back to the house that night, but went to the inn with him. Rumors spread on the second day. When the daughter of the great Confucian Dong Haojie and his own doorman did something insulting to the lintel,My father was furious when he learned about it。
The best way to solve the problem, of course, is for Du Yanzhuo to come to the door and marry me, but... But he avoided me, and I stubbornly withstood the great pressure, waiting for him to come to me and marry me.
It wasn't until two months later that I found out I was pregnant. My father sent a bowl of abortion decoction and told me to choose for myself, either take it and send me to the countryside to settle the matter, or cut off the father-daughter relationship with me.
And I chose the latter. In a leaky hut, I sold all my valuable things and lived for more than a month.
But in the end, I was defeated by the bitter cold of winter, and I wrote to him, but to no avail, and finally had to go to him.
It turned out that he already had a family background, and he married Yan Lingyu, the daughter of the prince of the dynasty. When I found him, I asked him if I would be his concubine as long as he was willing to marry me. But he didn't dare to look me in the eye. The heart full of hope is dead, and this man I like is so cowardly. In the end, I walked away without telling him that I was pregnant.
In the desolate and dilapidated house, under the biting cold wind, just when I thought I had reached the end of the mountain and the water, and I had no way out, Takecho-gun came.
He married me, but he was a concubine, because he had also married his wife, Zhao Yihong. When I arrived at Zhuchang County's house, he was only the master next to the county official, and after I gave birth to you, he had been promoted to become an eight-rank official.
I was very grateful to him, and when he married me that day, he explained to me that it was not because of my difficult situation that I was in a bad situation, but only because of my father's kindness to him.
He treated me with courtesy, consideration and respect. When you are on the full moon, he personally organizes the full moon ceremony. That night, when the crowd had dispersed, he tried to stay in my room, but I refused. As his career became smoother and smoother, and as time went on, he didn't have that kind of mind for me. Since then, you know...... But in August......"
Dong Yuqing said here and stopped. This long-sealed old thing was finally finished to Zhu Ran. Is this a story, maybe it happened to someone else as a story, but it happened to Zhu Ran.
Zhu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, after so many years, Zhu Changjun, her father, what he had done to her, could finally be understood. In an instant, she no longer complained that Zhu Changjun gave little love to her daughter. At this point, she also understands why her mother is reluctant to leave, she begged Zhu Heyu to find a separate garden for her mother. Because at that time, my mother never learned the truth, and I was still grateful to my father Takecho-gun.
Sometimes, for people close to you, people will ask for them unconditionally and for no reason, ask them to give, ask them to give, but for people who are not close, the requirements seem to be lowered or not at all, he is good to you, you have to be grateful to repay, he is not good to you, you will also take it for granted......
At this time, Zhuran is like this for Zhuchang County......
