Chapter 142: Aunt Yun
My aunt sent Yuan'er to study, and when she talked to me about the lantern festival after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she suddenly remembered an old thing and said that it was fun and important to tell me.
"Zhou'er, come and see this dress," Aunt Yun took me by the hand and walked towards the closet, with a delicate look on her face that was unique to a little girl. Aunt Yun rummaged through for a long time, found a neatly folded garment, and carefully took it out.
I looked at the clothes carefully, but it was an ordinary man's robe, and the fabric was also old, and the style was not new, so there was nothing special about it. When I looked at it again, I felt that the collar of this dress was slightly higher, and the sleeves were longer.
At this time, Aunt Yun stretched out her clothes, gestured to herself, and said, "Zhou'er, this is the best gift my aunt has received in her life." ”
I seemed to understand what my aunt meant, and covered my mouth and exclaimed, "Could it be that my aunt also disguised herself as a man?" "I really can't imagine that Aunt Yun is gentle and virtuous on weekdays, self-denial and courtesy, but she has also done such interesting things.
It was rare for Aunt Yun to be so happy, and she couldn't help but smile on her face, and said: "The lantern festival that your uncle took me to at that time was called fun, and you also know that your grandmother never allowed women to go out casually, so your uncle specially cut such a men's dress for me. ”
I listened to my aunt's vivid description, and I was very envious in my heart, so I pestered her to tell her how I met my uncle. She couldn't help but be pestered by me, so she told me about it.
She said: "I remember, it was also the weather now, the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms hit people, I embroidered flowers in the garden, embroidered flowers and tillian, he stood quietly behind me for a long time, so I was startled when I looked back." ”
I listened to it really funny, so I joked: "It has always been a posture of alluring the country and the city, and it is still intoxicating to see its face, and my aunt made my uncle stunned just by her back, and I don't know the passage of time and the rules of etiquette!" ”
My aunt was ashamed and anxious, and said: "Your uncle is also an idiot, he knows that I have a marriage contract with him, and I also have him in my heart, but because of the etiquette, I want to avoid suspicion with him before marriage, and he actually sent someone to send a few long letters, asking me why, and admitting my mistake and making amends, and introspecting whether he has mishandled himself, so as not to disgust me." ”
In my heart, I felt that my uncle was like a lovely child, an interesting elder, not as old-fashioned and calm as ordinary people. I only heard my aunt say again: "My sisters and sisters in my family don't know where they found out, and since then they have always laughed at me for having a husband who is afraid of his wife!" ”
Although my aunt used the word "joke", but I looked at her look, there was no embarrassment and resentment of being laughed at, she recalled the past, her face was always a little flushed, aunt and uncle have always been praised as a loving couple, who is not envious?
Looking at the stars outside the window, I can't help but think about what my future husband will look like, I don't want princes and generals, nor do I envy fame and fortune, even if I am a pawn in the countryside, I just want to be inseparable from the white head of a single-minded person.
Although my aunt has become poorer and poorer in recent years, everyone can see that among these relatives, she is the only one who is still as chic and comfortable as when she was a daughter at home.
I thought to myself, what kind of person my life is like, and probably the same!
I am willing to go to the lantern festival with you, I am willing to cut the window candles with you, I am willing to knock on the chess pieces and drop the lights on a rainy day, I am willing to have a pair of people in my life, I am willing to accompany you to ride a horse and drink, I am willing to accompany you to wander the world or return to the countryside.
I clasped my palms together and made a wish to the watery moonlight.
When I looked at my aunt again, she had an extra gold in her hand, and when she married her uncle, she only had a few dowries, but she wanted to wear it for me at this time, and I refused to ask for anything.
But she pretended to be angry and insisted that I take it, and said: "I can't make Zhou'er's ceremony, so it's just a little bit of my aunt's heart." ”
I was willing to accept it, and my aunt said: "Zhou'er, I will treat you like my own daughter, and then, if you suffer any grievances, my aunt will support you like you." ”
I had a sour nose and shouted, "Auntie! ”
She held my hand and leaned under the lamp, letting the candle shine, the Jin Chuan was even more delicate under the light, and my aunt said, "Zhou'er, look, it's so beautiful!" If you want to spend a few more days with me, tomorrow you will accompany me to the temple to offer incense!" ”
I laughed and said, "Obey your fate!" ”
In the morning, Acui was grooming me and asked, "Miss, I never saw my uncle and grandmother yesterday." "I had a good chat with Aunt Yun yesterday, and I almost forgot that I came here for my aunt.
I was wondering why this aunt didn't return overnight, but when she heard a commotion, she turned back to Atsui and said, "It should be back, listen carefully, this is exactly what they are making trouble again!" ”
Atsui replied: "Miss, it's from over there!" "The eldest uncle and the eldest aunt have always been at odds, the eldest uncle has been looking for a woman outside, living outside all the year round, every time they come back, the two of them have to make a fuss, several times have affected my family, I think the two of them quarrel endlessly every day is commonplace.
But after washing, when I came to the yard, I saw a young woman standing in the yard, I was very surprised, I looked like a maid who behaved like that, and looked carefully, her appearance was like a princess, her face was like a Chu girl, like a jade fragrance, red lips and teeth, she was really a rare beauty.
There was no one else in the courtyard, and when she saw me and Atsui standing by the door looking at her, she moved lightly, her willow waist slightly extended, and Nana came over.
Atsui asked her, "Where are you from?" ”
She was not a little shy and nervous, and replied, "I brought it back from your young grandmother!" I thought to myself, "It turned out that my aunt had invited me back, so it would be better to provoke less." Then he said to Acui: "Since we are the guests of the eldest aunt, we have no identity to entertain, let's go back to the room!" ”
Atsui and I both wanted to turn around and leave, but we heard a voice "Little slut, you come over to me!" When Atsui and I heard this, we couldn't help but look up, and saw my aunt standing by the door, shouting loudly with her waist crossed.
The woman was also strange, she didn't see a trace of waves on her face, and walked towards that side generously. Atsui felt as strange as I was, staring at the show with inch-inch.
I didn't know whether I wanted to delay some time for the woman, or if I was driven by curiosity, so I walked over with the woman and said, "Auntie! "My aunt didn't look good at all, and she didn't respond to me.
The woman also stood beside me and said, "Auntie, please! When I heard her aunt, I began to talk about relatives in my heart, she was a relative of my aunt's family, and this fairy-like woman was also related to me, and when I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel a little funny.
When my aunt heard this woman shouting like this, she was about to stretch out her hand to hit her, but I stretched out my hand to stop her, and said, "Auntie, please read for the sake of the juniors who are ignorant, you have to dissipate your anger first!" ”
When the eldest aunt heard me say this, she seemed to change the spearhead and said, "What are you doing now?" ”
I replied, "I didn't entertain you well that day at my house, and you ate something badly, and now my parents have punished me, but I also feel guilty, so I just want to ask for forgiveness!" ”
The eldest aunt probably wanted to send me away quickly, and she didn't want to entangle me more, so she forced a smile and said, "Bei'er, your eldest aunt already knows your intentions, just go home and tell your mother quickly, so that she doesn't worry about me." ”
I said, "Thank you, aunt!" At this time, I had to retreat, and I said to my aunt Yun yesterday that I would accompany her to the temple for incense today.
When I went back to my aunt and uncle, she was holding a letter in her hand, and when she saw me coming, she was embarrassed: "Bei'er, I just received your uncle's letter this morning, he arrived today, I want to go to the dock to pick him up, and I can't go to this incense." ”
I smiled and said, "It's okay, my aunt will pick up my uncle!" ”
Aunt Yun said: "I originally agreed with the master of Qushan Temple a few days ago to go to worship the Buddha today, but now if you don't go and show the insincerity of us as disciples, it is better for you to bring these things for your aunt." ”
I agreed without saying a word, thinking to myself, "The weather is not bad today, so I can go out for a walk and walk around with Atsui." ”
Atsui and I took the sesame oil, candles, sandalwood, and a few copper coins, and got into the carriage.
As the carriage headed south, it had to pass through several lively streets, and from time to time I lifted the curtain to look out, only to see the scene of the prosperous era of traffic, the number of vendors, and the endless stream of people who went to the street to buy.
Walking down the street, the speed of the carriage slowed down considerably.
Jixianglou is also on this street, and there are not many people in and out of the restaurant before the meal arrives, but the restaurant has invited a music class to sing, and the sound of the orchestra is endless.
Looking to the left from the carriage, it is the opposite side of Jixianglou, there is an alley that is not wide, there is a stage on the side of the alley, there are always many people gathered on weekdays to watch some juggling gadgets, today I don't see anyone on the stage, but I see a corner under the stage full of people, gossiping about something.
I've always been a fungile person, so I called to the groom, "Stop, stop!" I patted Atsui excitedly, she was sitting in the car with half-squinted eyes and was about to fall asleep, and she was awakened by my scream.
When I woke up, I said, "Miss, have you arrived?" Let's go down then! ”
I pointed to the bustling area outside the car and said, "Look, there must be something interesting over there, I want to go down and have a look!" Atsui frowned and said, "Miss, why are you so playful everywhere?" I don't want to go down! ”
I had always been thick-skinned, and she let her say whatever she wanted, but I only took her hand and got out of the carriage. Walking around the crowd, I used my "strength" to squeeze all the way to the center.
