Chapter 247: In the Dark
"This stinky boy, it's really been a long time since he was disciplined, and..." Rui Xue was annoyed, and before she finished scolding two sentences, she heard a noise outside the second door, and soon, Zhao Fengnian and Zhang Dahe led three boys in, several of them were stained with dust, Da Zhuang and Heizi were like mud balls, when they saw Shi Niang glaring at them, their faces were gloomy, and the two of them immediately hid behind Wu Yu, Wu Yu knew his sister's temper best, and instead of looking for excuses, it was better to admit his mistake.
"Sister, the three of us led Ben Lei to the river, Ben Lei was startled by the water snake and ran into the mountain, well, we were afraid that it would run away..."
"I'm afraid that Ben Lei will be lost, so you will all follow up? If you get lost in the mountains, or where you are injured, how will your family know? Rui Xue was really angry, and she didn't need any rulers, so she picked up the chopsticks at hand and slapped her brother a few times.
Wu Yu smiled, rubbed his arm, and took two steps forward to flatter, "Sister, don't be angry, my little nephew and my daughter heard it in their stomachs, and they should think that my sister has a bad temper." ”
"You lazy boy!" Rui Xue was so angry that she couldn't cry or laugh because of his rogue appearance, threw down her chopsticks, and said, "Take Da Zhuang and Kuroko, go wash and wash, come back to eat, and then make up for today's homework, and next time, I will throw you in the mountains and feed the mosquitoes!"
"Hehe, I promise there will be no next time." The three boys swore and patted their chests, and then went to wash up together with a smile, Wu Yu took two steps and remembered the strangeness at home, turned around and glanced at the old grandmother beside his sister, and asked, "Sister, there are guests at home?" ”
Rui Xue couldn't explain the matter clearly in three or two sentences for a while, so she pouted him and said, "Let's go wash our hands first, and I'll talk to you at night." ”
Wu Yu nodded, hid the look of surprise in his eyes, and went to the East House.
Ruixue asked Zhang Dahe again, "Who is following up in the mountains, it's so late and it's hard to make a trip, remember to tell the kitchen to prepare some wine and food for them, eat here, or take them home, so that people can also relieve their fatigue." ”
Zhang Dahe responded, "There are no wild beasts on the mountains near the village, so the workshop and these people followed, thanks to the cleverness of the little six sons, he couldn't find a few Yu Ge'er in the afternoon, so he asked people everywhere in the village, and then he knew that a few boys had gone up the mountain, otherwise, they would really want to live in the mountains." ”
At this time, Zhang's sister-in-law came in with a clay pot of rice, and when she heard her child's father say this, she said angrily, "I should let them stay in the mountains for one night, and they won't run away after they are scared." ”
Rui Xue was funny, knowing that she was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, so she was willing to let her son suffer, so she persuaded, "Half a child, how can you not be naughty, I'm afraid I'm hungry on the mountain for most of the day, let them stop eating more for a while, and if you want to fight, you will fight again tomorrow." ”
After saying this, I remembered that Yun Xiaoliu was mentioned just now, so I said again, "I heard Aunt Yun say yesterday that Xiaoliuzi has been looking at his daughter-in-law recently, and after a while, my sister-in-law will go to the treasury to help me pick out a piece of brocade with a better color for him. ”
Sister-in-law Zhang smiled, "It's still a sister-in-law, I'll go in a while." ”
The two of them laughed and laughed, the old lady looked behind her in her eyes, shocked in her heart, she just felt that the young lady had become assertive, but now she realized that she had become more than just temperament, and after a year, she turned a weak and even a little cowardly Miss into a housewife with harmonious means and a good housewife, how far away is this difference from heaven and earth?
Who taught her to learn this, or did she suffer so much that she was forced to become like this?
Although the Zhao family and his wife talked and laughed together, they all paid attention to the old grandmother's face out of the corner of their eyes, seeing her so surprised, their hearts were much more down-to-earth, and they were waiting for a lot of time, trying to persuade Rui Xue to change their minds, why didn't they also want them to see that Rui Xue was no longer their original miss?
Each other has thoughts, and they are all competing with each other.
A few boys washed clean, changed their clothes and came out, Amber also came back from the East Garden with his hands behind his back, and the family sat around, the old mother stretched out her hand to Rui Xue to cloth a dish, and in the end Rui Xue almost pressed it, sat beside her, and invited her to eat and drink together.
The old lady seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to say anything, standing at the door and waiting, she saw a table, men, women, half the size, plus a sloppy old man, not paying attention to the slightest rules and etiquette, the face was dark, the brows were wrinkled, it was as if she had seen something most unbearable in the world.
Rui Xue sneered lightly, as if she didn't see it, although she had the existence of this maid in her very few memories, and the former owner of this body seemed to have deep feelings for her, but, in her opinion, this maid was definitely not a kind-hearted person, and many times it was even a fox and a fake tiger, if she still wanted to, she would use her as a puppet as before, but she would have made the wrong idea.
The family ate, and the old mother had to wait for Rui Xue to take a bath, but was persuaded by Rui Xue to go back to rest, Wu Yu gathered in his sister's house after making up his homework, and while peeling melon seeds for his sister to eat, he asked what happened at home?
When he learned that his sister was pushed into the water and almost drowned, he immediately became furious, and shouted to find those two people to come out and break them into thousands of pieces. ”
Wu Yu immediately loosened his shoulders, his face softened a lot, he stepped forward to learn from his brother-in-law's usual appearance, carefully reached out and touched his sister's stomach, and coaxed softly, "Nephew and daughter, what I heard just now was what your father said, and my uncle is a good person." ”
Rui Xue slapped him on the shoulder with a smile and said angrily, "You kid, you actually learned to frame him." ”
Wu Yu scratched his head, "I'm not afraid that my nephew will grow up and won't be close to me." After speaking, he thought of those maids and guards, and asked, "Sister, those outsiders, I'm afraid the way is not small." ”
Rui Xue nodded, "When I fell into the water, it was the captain of the guard who saved me, and later they chased us to our house, only to know that they were from the Hou Mansion of Annan, looking for the young lady who had been lost for a year..."
The more Wu Yu listened, his eyes widened, and after a while, he spit out a sentence, "Sister, you won't be that..."
Ruixue sighed and said helplessly, "You guessed right." ”
It is said that before her mother did not enter the palace, she had killed the enemy in the military camp and made meritorious contributions. If it weren't for the fact that before his father went to the battle, he fell in love with his mother at first sight and was included in the palace, maybe his mother would eventually marry one of the two of them, but it's a pity...
When the Marquis of Annan died in battle, his mother was still crying and worshipping in the palace, and this matter was taken out by the people of the harem and made a big fuss, although the father believed in the mother concubine, but he couldn't bear people's words, and the mother concubine was depressed for a few years, and died after giving birth to him.
The Marquis of Annan Mansion and the Zhenbei General's Mansion, every year on his birthday, someone sent gifts into the palace, and his nurse was the dowry maid of the mother's concubine, and she knew a lot about some old things, and often told him to get close to these two mansions.
However, he was protected by his father at that time, and he had a smooth life, and he never cared. It wasn't until the day of the accident that the nurse asked him to come to General Zhenbei before she died, and he didn't know that it was his life-saving reliance.
Unexpectedly, when he rushed to Bailu City with great difficulty, the general went on the expedition, and when he was dying of hunger, the sister who saved his life was actually the young lady of the Marquis of Annan, this may really be the spirit of the mother in the sky, bless him in the dark...
Rui Xue saw that her brother didn't speak, and thought he was shocked, so she took his hand and said, "Brother Yu, don't worry, my sister's brain is burned out, and I have forgotten everything before. ”
Wu Yu gently held his sister's warm hand, and suddenly fell on his sister's leg and choked up, which scared Ruixue really a lot, this kid is stubborn and willful, he is a hard temper, even if he moves the ring ruler and beats the handboard, he doesn't shed tears, what's wrong tonight, scared in the mountains?
"Brother Yu, why are you crying, tell your sister, you were scared on the mountain? Are you still afraid that your sister will leave? Sister said, I will lead you everywhere, don't be afraid. ”
Wu Yu's tears fell even more fiercely, even he couldn't tell the reason, he just wanted to cry well, Ruixue also saw it, this kid was probably uncomfortable, not scared, although she couldn't guess why he was like this, but she still patted his back gently, and slowly hummed the favorite snail and oriole bird, the soft voice, cheerful tone, easily soothed Wu Yu's sadness, he raised his hand to wipe his tears, leaned on his sister's lap, and quietly listened to his sister sing...
I don't know how long it took for Zhao Fengnian to come in from outside, and when he saw that Rui Xue had some worry on his face, he glared at Wu Yu fiercely, thinking that he had caused some trouble, but Wu Yu surprisingly didn't refute, didn't say much, got up, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I'm asleep." ”
Then he went out, Rui Xue lay on the crack of the window, and saw that he had indeed entered his room, so he whispered, "Shopkeeper, Brother Yu, this kid has something on his mind, he has been at our house for almost a year, and it is the first time he is so sad." ”
Zhao Fengnian didn't care, took off his outer robe and hung it on the screen, then helped Rui Xue to lie down together, and persuaded, "Don't worry about him, half a child, it's good to beat a few more times." ”
Rui Xue was so angry that she pinched his waist and said angrily, "It's not your brother, of course you don't feel distressed." ”
Zhao Fengnian was afraid that she would be really angry, so he hurriedly surrendered, "Okay, okay, I'll talk to him tomorrow." ”
Rui Xue turned her head away from him, "You two are just two fighting cocks, if you meet one place, it's good not to fight, and I still expect you to comfort." ”
Zhao Fengnian smiled flatteringly, gently moved his wife over, held her on his shoulder, and then said, "It's not that I don't feel sorry for this kid, he is so old, he should have some thoughts of his own, you can't always protect him like a child, there is always a time for a man to go out and break in, and he has a long experience." ”
