Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain
Since returning to Li's house, she has hid in the quilt and cried countless times, but she always sobbed quietly, and sometimes she didn't even dare to make a sound, so she could only bite the quilt and shake her shoulders silently. But this time, I used all my strength, and I cried even more, and I didn't know that I thought something shocking had happened. Li Xunzhuo has never comforted his children, Wanhua is sensible, Jinhua is ingenious, Si Mo is clever, and Shaohua has not been around since he was a child.
The only time was when he sent Shaohua to Pu'an, when the little figure chased the carriage, crying all the way and running all the way. This scene will never linger in Li Xunzhuo's mind, so when he heard Shaohua crying so desolately, although he was a little at a loss and a little irritable, he didn't walk away.
It's just that Wanhua was a little dumbfounded, she had never dared to be so presumptuous in front of Li Xunzhuo, and Shaohua's snot and tears rubbed against Li Xunzhuo. She couldn't help but wonder if Ling had broken her leg just now, or if he had twitched her tendons. She didn't even say anything before Li Xunzhuo came, but now she is crying earth-shatteringly, and the effect of this tear is definitely much stronger than Su's pear blossom tears.
"What, does it still hurt?" Li Xunzhuo heard Shaohua crying so miserably, his heart softened, and he asked gently.
Listening to his father's gentle tone that he could squeeze out water, Wanhua couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and he wished that the person who was beaten and injured at this moment was herself.
Shaohua shook his head vigorously, and finally stopped crying, and when he heard his gentle inquiry, tears fell again. In fact, she didn't hurt so much, but she didn't expect Li Xunzhuo to come to visit her, although they were just a pair of fake father and daughter, but for this body, they were indeed blood relatives. Li Xunzhuo's hurried and nervous expression as soon as he entered the door was not fake, Shaohua could feel Li Xunzhuo's worry, and the grievances in his heart were immediately like a flood that collapsed in front of his father, and his eyes were red when he saw it.
"Okay, okay, don't cry if it doesn't hurt, what if you cry your eyes." Li Xunzhuo had done his best, and his face looked very helpless.
After persuading her for a long time, Shaohua calmed down, Li Xunzhuo asked her to go back to bed and lay down on her, and covered her with a quilt. Looking at the shocking scars on her hands, anger suddenly appeared on her face, and Shaohua hurriedly said, "Daddy, don't worry, I don't hurt anymore, it really doesn't hurt anymore." ”
"Humph! His own daughters have been able to do it. As soon as Li Xunzhuo came back, he saw Ling's stinky face and asked a few questions, but she didn't bother to ask. When he was about to go to Huansiyuan, he heard the conversation of the maids, and exaggerated Shaohua's injuries by more than ten times, and the words were blurred. I was shocked, and I immediately rushed over.
"No, A-Niang is right, it's me who is not good." Shaohua said, his body still trembling.
Li Xunzhuo was amused by her appearance, "You also know that you are not well-behaved." ”
Chu He silently handed over the hot towel, and Li Xunzhuo wanted to take over, but Wanhua took the lead. Shaohua didn't dare to be served like this, so he hurriedly took it, wiped his face, and complained in a low voice: "But, Daddy, I really don't like Lang Jun of the Marquis of Anqing." ”
"You don't like it, and you shouldn't make your aunt angry." Li Xunzhuo sighed, Ling's temper was clear to him, as long as he endured it, she wouldn't be entangled for too long. Presumably Shaohua was too stubborn and deliberately found fault with her anger.
"I didn't!" Shaohua protested.
"You still dare to say that A-Niang won't beat people if she is not angry, since I was a child, it is the first time I have seen A-Niang so angry." Wanhua dismantled the stage without giving face.
"I've done something wrong again, why should I apologize!" Tears are dry, and I already have the strength to start complaining, "I just told A-Niang, if it's not the person I like, I don't want to marry, is there anything wrong with this!" ”
Wanhua half-squinted, and was about to teach her a lesson, when Li Xunzhuo's words sounded in her ears: "You have such a temperament, just like me." ”
The Shaohua sisters were all stunned and looked at each other.
Li Xunzhuo stroked Shaohua's head and continued: "I used to quarrel with her on your mother's head, and every time I had an unpleasant quarrel, I just refused to give in. I wanted to send you to my grandfather and learn more about your grandfather's temperament, but I didn't expect to be like me. "In terms of appearance, Shaohua and Jinhua both follow their mothers, and Wanhua is the eldest daughter, so there are both, and Si Mo is also somewhat similar to Li Xunzhuo.
It's just that this temperament, which is most consistent with him, is actually Shaohua.
"Daddy, don't spoil her, or her tail will go up into the sky." Wanhua was a little appreciative.
"You have to fight with your sister even this." Li Xunzhuo saw that the villain of Shaohua was grimacing at Wanhua, and Wanhua glared back and was helpless. couldn't help but be happy, and laughed out loud, "Okay, you're fine, just sleep obediently, and I'll go and apologize to your aunt when I get up tomorrow." ”
Shaohua nodded, she knew that she was too impulsive, but she was afraid that one would be married off accidentally. Raising his head, he looked at Li Xunzhuo's doting eyes, and asked cautiously: "Daddy, can I not go to the Anqing Marquis Mansion?" ”
Li Xunzhuo didn't know why Shaohua was so persistent, so he said: "What, are you afraid that your aunt will marry you?" You're fourteen this year, and your sister is going to see each other when she is fourteen. When it came to Wanhua, she only lowered her head, turned her face away, and didn't answer. Or which Langjun do you fall in love with? ”
"Daddy, I want to say that I like Yan Kaizhi, can I?" Shaohua raised his head sharply and looked at Li Xunzhuo intently with his crystal bright eyes.
Suddenly, startled by Shaohua's shining eyes, Li Xunzhuo was stunned.
It took a long time to come back to his senses, watching Shaohua's expression change from expectation to loss, and the look in his eyes made him feel very familiar.
"Are you in love with Lang Jun of Xingyongbo Mansion?" Li Xunzhuo was a little uncertain and repeated.
Shaohua nodded busily, and a small face was firm and serious. Li Xunzhuo saw his reflection in her bright eyes, he frowned slightly, and was so silent that he even sweated, "Rest well, don't think too much, I'll talk about this later." ”
Wanhua breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, although Shaohua was disappointed, his mood was extremely bright. Although he didn't agree, at least he didn't object, and there was still room for Zhou Huan in the future. This idea made Shaohua feel that this time the punishment was very meaningful.
A sweet night, Shaohua, who woke up early, saw everyone smiling and greeting him, which made Youhan a little surprised.
Because of the injury of the palm, he couldn't do anything, and Shaohua really realized that "clothes come to reach out and eat to open his mouth". Chuhe and they are also willing to serve, and they wear one more piece for Shaohua on weekdays, and she is all the wind in her ears. Now they can't move their hands, so they have to obediently let them serve, but they didn't expect that Shaohua was only injured by his hands. Without waiting for Hatsuha to bring her cloak, she held her hand tied into a pig's trotter and ran faster than a rabbit with a smoke.
Lin met Cui's mother at the gate of Xiyuan, and saw her hands bulging, and her eyes immediately turned red.
Shaohua was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted to stop, and carefully inquired about the situation in the house, Cui's mother said that Li Xunzhuo exaggerated Shaohua's injuries a lot, and Ling was worried and sad when he heard it, but he couldn't pull his face. I was about to ask Cui's mother to visit Shaohua with the medicine, but I didn't expect her to come so early.
As soon as he heard that Li Xunzhuo was in the house, Shaohua immediately mustered up his courage, lowered his head, and walked in in small steps. When she entered the house, she found that the third sister and brother had unexpectedly arrived neatly, she secretly glanced around, but did not see Li Xunzhuo appear, but heard Ling's cold snort.
Shaohua hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the Ling family, "A-Niang Wanfu." ”
Ling didn't even look at her, Shaohua lowered his head and shouted again, but Ling still didn't say anything. Wanhua was watching and worried, Jinhua didn't know what medicine this mother and daughter were selling, only Si Mo spoke, "Ah Niang, the fifth sister is talking to you." ”
Ling glared at his son, it was rare that he deliberately stayed to eat with him today, and it was not easy to get mad. "Eat your meal, and go to school after eating."
Si Mo nodded, beckoned to Shaohua and said, "Fifth sister, you can also come over for dinner, I thought you wouldn't come." ”
Shaohua took a step, looked at Ling's glare, his gaze fell on the gauze on her hands, and turned his head again. Wanhua vigorously motioned for her to apologize quickly, but Shaohua had to flatten her mouth and pretend to be very aggrieved, "Auntie, my daughter knows that she is wrong, and I am here to make amends to you." ”
Hearing Shaohua's initiative to admit his mistake, Ling's expression was better, and he deliberately asked coldly, "What is wrong with you?" ”
"I shouldn't make A-Niang angry!" The tone is very serious.
"Huh?" Ling was obviously dissatisfied.
"I shouldn't talk back, I shouldn't be angry." The tone is still very sincere.
"And then?" The Ling clan didn't seem to intend to let Shaohua go so easily.
Shaohua was stunned for a moment, and then what, didn't she just say a few words to the Ling family, and then she was beaten. Could it be that she was wrong not to give in, and it was her fault that she didn't cry when she was beaten and hurt Ling's anger, and she was beaten harder? Seeing her stunned appearance, Wanhua immediately relieved the siege, "You, A-Niang is angry that you don't care about yourself so much, such a hot tea, why are you going to pick it up." The cup fell and fell, and it was a big deal to buy a new one, which burned myself, and made A-Niang worry, aren't you making a mistake. ”
Shaohua was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close, wasn't she beaten yesterday because she was guilty of the Ling family, why did this redness and swelling turn into burns. Seeing Wanhua trying to give her a look, Shaohua had no choice but to bow her head, confused. Jinhua's face suddenly realized, but he was also puzzled, these hands were tied like this, was it caused by burns?
Si Mo was obviously a rescuer moved by Wanhua, and when he heard Wanhua speak, he immediately helped: "A-Niang, you can forgive the fifth sister, she is also out of good intentions." You see that she is already pitiful for being injured, isn't A-Niang still worried just now. ”
"Mother, just forgive the fifth sister." The Wanhua sisters and brothers all opened their mouths, and Jinhua naturally spoke.
Ling had earned enough face, so he had to nod and say, "Have you eaten it, sit down." ”
No matter what, knowing that the Ling family would no longer talk about the affairs of the Marquis of Anqing, Shaohua was still very happy. He immediately nodded and walked over, but found that he could not eat at all. Ling sighed, and had no choice but to feed Shaohua with his own hands, and the other three were staring at each other.
"You're all here so early?" Li Xunzhuo deliberately came late, looked at his wife and children who were around a table of harmony, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Daddy, you're so late today." Jinhua complained.
"What, am I missing out on something good?" Li Xunzhuo asked.
"A-Niang has forgiven the fifth sister." Si Mo summed it up succinctly.
Li Xunzhuo's face suddenly realized, and then looked at Shaohua seriously, "Wu Niang, you are not young, you know how to do things, don't be frizzy, let your aunt worry." Shaohua nodded obediently, but couldn't help but snicker in her heart, it seemed that they were all secretly colluding to help her, otherwise how could the Ling clan have the reason to dissipate her anger so quickly.
Thinking like this, my heart suddenly became extremely happy.
It's just that Jinhua looked at them talking and laughing, and felt a little lonely, in the end, only he was a concubine, just like an outsider. Li Xunzhuo's love for Shaohua is obviously above her, and I heard that people in the capital have begun to inquire about Shaohua's news, and the gap in my heart is even greater.
"If you're okay, wait a while and go to Xuyuan to see your sister-in-law." Li Xunzhuo's words were said to the Ling family, and seeing that their eyes looked over, Li Xunzhuo said: "Yesterday, the spring was released, and Shiro's name fell to Sun Mountain." ”
Although it was expected for them that Si Yan could not pass the exam, they couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"What's wrong with sister-in-law?" Ling Shi wondered.
"It is said that I cried all night, and I don't know the specific situation, you go over and take a look."
