Chapter 140: Pondered
The punishment I received was neither light nor severe, not painful, but really unbearable, and I was shut up in my room and thought about it behind closed doors, and all the servants were withdrawn, leaving two guards in case I went out, and Atsui was the only one left with me.
I can't go out all day long, I feel like I'm going to get sick, Acui, the dead girl, actually complained about me: "It's all to blame Miss, let my uncle and grandmother have a stomach trouble for a while, now it seems that it is just a momentary speed, and we are the ones who suffer in the end!" I know that she doesn't really blame, it's just that she is close to me, and she was heartbroken when I was beaten, and now that I am better, she is happy and laughs and jokes.
At first, I lay down in bed to rest, but now I think I have slept so much these days that I can't sleep anymore. Today, Atsui rummaged through the cabinets and found some interesting objects, and wanted to mix a few flavors with me.
When it comes to incense, I have a lot of work on paper. When I was a child, my nurse's family made incense, and many of her words were recognized from "Xiangcheng", and it is said that the soothing incense she brought from home alleviated even my grandmother's insomnia for many years.
The most commonly used incense recipe is the "Chen's Incense Spectrum" in the "Siku Quanshu", which contains thousands of incense recipes. Among them, the famous ones are the "Dingzhou Public Treasury Incense", "Hezhou Public Treasury Incense", "Zishantang Incense", as well as the "Houshu Mengzhu Yaxiang" and "Lady Flower Stamen" used in the study, and the most refreshing is the "Jiangnan Li Main Account Incense" used in the bedroom, and "the plum blossom fragrance in the palm of Li".
Acui asked me about the incense recipe, but I just didn't remember it, and now I am confined to the room, and there is no way to get it. Suddenly, I remembered another one, it was Mrs. Yaxiang, I was a child, and I had sent the old master's daughter, she went with the old master to see her father that day, because of the same age, it was very fateful, so she gave it to the sachet.
I was very happy, so I ordered Atsui: "Don't go and prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for your young lady!" Atri: "Yes!" And he hurried away.
I silently said in my heart: "Agarwood, stack incense each three taels, sandalwood, frankincense one tael each, borneol half a penny, a tael of incense, musk one penny, skin powder, Pu Whistle each a penny, it seems that there is still a shortage of raw honey." ”
After I wrote down this incense recipe, Acui said, "We don't have these flavors!" I was discouraged again, and I thought to myself, "If only I could go out!" ”
Acui knew that I was angry and resentful of my mother beating me, she was my dearest girl, everything was towards me, even if I made mistakes, she listened to me in everything, and did not accept others to say that I was wrong, although she didn't say it, but I understood everything.
Unable to make a sachet, she was disappointed for a while, then became lively again, and said, "Then I'll embroider the veil!" I called out to her and hesitated, "Do you want to go out?" ”
She was very funny, and nodded, "I don't want to!" I asked, "Why are you nodding your head if you don't want to go out?" She touched her head with her hand and asked, "Miss, I didn't nod!" I forced a laugh: "You go down!" ”
I walked to the yard, empty, only some flowers and grass, except for myself, the rest are some butterflies and bees, it is really boring, I remembered that Li Bai once felt: "A pot of wine among the flowers, drink alone without a blind date!" "But now I don't even have a pot of wine to accompany me, I'm afraid I'm a lot more lonely than this poet!
I picked up a few stones and played with them in my hands, but somehow I was stunned, a stone the size of a pigeon's egg was thrown outside the wall, and the yard where I lived was separated from the house next door by an alley of about 12 feet.
I was so unlucky, and then I heard a "Ouch! It seemed to be a man's voice. I was also scared in my heart, so I hurriedly ran to the corner of the wall and squatted, and the voice sounded again: "Which family lacks heart, smash your grandfather and me!" "The voice was rough, it didn't sound easy to mess with, and I didn't dare to speak out.
Then the man seemed to slam the wall a few times, and then left in a rage. I dared to come out of the corner, and when I returned to the room, I felt even more depressed, and I couldn't help sighing: "This father and mother are also ruthless, whether I am my own daughter or not, it's been a few days, and they have never let me out, and they haven't even come to see me." ”
Acui said: "Actually, ......" I didn't say anything, so I said angrily: "When did you learn to spit out like this?" Is there anything I'm hiding? ”
Then she said: "Miss, in the past few days, when you were taking a nap, Madame has come to see you, but you are sleeping soundly and you don't notice it, Madame sat for about a quarter of an hour and left. "I only felt a warm heart when I heard it, and my mother finally felt that she cared about me, but she refused to bow her head.
After lunch the next day, I hurried back to my room and slept properly. As I expected, half an hour later, I heard the "squeak" of the door, and I opened my eyes a little slit: a man, about the age of not confused, about six feet tall, eyes like a phoenix, eyebrows like a lying silkworm, square lips and mouth, light beard, the person who came was my father.
He walked very lightly, tiptoed to the edge of my bed, and refused to sit down along the bed, presumably for fear of waking me, so he only half-crouched down. I suddenly felt that my arm was cold, and then I felt that my sleeve was being rolled up, it was my beaten arm, and my father must have been worried, my wound had scabbed over in recent days, and it was almost healed, and it would not hurt anymore. My father seemed to be in tears, so I stopped pretending to be asleep and woke up with my hands around my father's neck.
The father's voice seemed to be choked, and he said, "Is Bei'er still in pain?" In order to reassure my father, I said, "This one doesn't hurt at all, and it's all fine now." "My father gently placed my hands on the quilt and sat down to chat with me.
The father looked depressed, sighed, and said, "Your mother has been crying in the room for the past few days, worried about your injury, and she always told me that she shouldn't have beaten you that day." ”
I lowered my eyes and was silent, and my heart was mixed.
Dad said again: "Your grandmother is still in the house, and she is thinking about you for tea and dinner." ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "Daddy, you told your grandmother that I was fine, don't let her worry about me, take care of yourself!" ”
Dad nodded, and then asked: "Do you know that your grandmother has always loved you the most among the juniors, and you have not done your filial piety in front of her, and you have made her so worried, but is it right to call grandmother?" ”
I couldn't help but mutter, "You locked me up here, why don't I want to get out?" ”
Dad looked at me with an unconvinced look, although he didn't hear what I said, but educated me: "Although my father and mother have the heart to protect you, but in the end it is not a lifelong thing, your uncle is a child of the Eight Banners, we are just commoners of the Han family, and no matter whether she is your elder, just in terms of identity and status, you really shouldn't treat her like this!" ”
I'm not a young lady who doesn't know anything about the world, and it makes sense to hear my father say this, and that's what worries me. Although the eldest aunt is not a strategic, but after all, she also has a family with a prominent family, if someone takes advantage of this matter and secretly makes a stumbling block, the business of my father and brother outside must be much bleaker.
I bowed my head to my father and confessed my mistake: "This is because my daughter is not thoughtful, and my daughter is willing to admit her mistake and apologize!" ”
I thought that my father would be very happy that I had such a humble attitude of admitting my mistakes, but I didn't expect my father to touch my head and say, "I have been wronged!" I smiled at my father: "My daughter admits her mistakes for her family and doesn't feel wronged!" ”
Daddy also smiled and said: "Daddy has always felt that the best gift God has given Daddy is not a family fortune, thousands of acres of fertile land, but a daughter who is smart and innocent in ice and snow." ”
Daddy looked gentle, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, took my right arm, rolled up his sleeve for me, and said, "Daddy is giving you medicine!" I smiled, and I felt that I had the best daddy in the world.
While administering medicine to me, my father said, "I remember that when I got married to your mother, your grandfather was in tears, crying more sadly than your mother, the bride. ”
I was curious and asked, "What about then?" "I don't remember my grandfather anymore, he left when I was very young, so I was very curious to hear my father mention him.
The father replied slowly: "Later, after you were born, I understood that your grandfather's heart of being a father really felt that you were like a pearl, holding it in your hand for fear of breaking, and holding it in your mouth for fear of melting." Your grandfather used to say that I was better than him because I was blue! ”
I hid my face and smiled, pulling my father's beard, my father likes to grow a beard, I like to pull his beard when I was young, and said: "Then Daddy is better to Bei'er, this month's monthly money has been spent, but I want to eat Jixianglou's wine and food!" ”
My father and I laughed.
