Chapter 51
Liu Meilan was stunned, and then replied, "Those were all taught to me by my master, and I have been writing since then." Liu Yanqing nodded, and asked again, "Then when did you learn those things, and how long have you been learning?" Suning explained, "It didn't take long, that is, after Liu Wu died. Liu Yanqing was embarrassed and didn't ask anything more. Liu Meilan kept looking at his face and saw that he was very calm and had no sad expression.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid I'd already be in trouble with someone by now. But Liu Yanqing's appearance, she couldn't figure it out. "Second uncle, I killed my father, don't you scold me?" Liu Yanqing took a deep breath, "Scolding you? What are you scolding for. He hasn't been a good thing since he was a child, and he often causes trouble, just forget it, and see who bullies whom. Now it doesn't matter if it's dead, if it weren't for the sake of face, it would have started beating gongs and drums a long time ago. ”
Liu Meilan was dumbfounded, she couldn't imagine that Liu Yanqing was such a person. Suning coughed twice at this time, "Don't say it." Liu Meilan sighed, Liu Yanqing pursed her lips, glanced at Suning, thought that she was afraid that Liu Meilan would learn badly from him, and began to change the topic, "What books is Lan'er usually reading?" Has anyone taught you to read before? Liu Meilan nodded, "Master taught me to read and write before. ”
Liu Yanqing sighed, "Liu Meilan, this name is okay." Suning didn't speak, Liu Meilan glanced at Suning, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I also think that the master said before that the name Liu Lan is okay." But it sounded too manly, so I added a flattering word in the middle. He always said that my name was good, and my current master also thinks that this name is very good. ”
Liu Yanqing listened and nodded, "I think so too, my name is also taken out like this, but it is different from yours." Liu Meilan looked at him, "What's the difference?" Have you seen it? Still," Liu Yanqing shook his head, "No, my name is easy to hear, and of course there are differences like yours." Yan is the meaning of talent and learning, and Qing is to become a Qing official after growing up and gaining fame. ”
Liu Meilan was stunned, "Really." Liu Yanqing nodded, "Of course it's true, you can also ask your mother why she gave you this name." After Liu Meilan heard this, she turned her head and looked at Suning who was sitting on the side expectantly. Suning pursed his lips and replied, "There is a chance." Liu Meilan nodded, oh. Feeling that Liu Meilan's mood was a little bad, Liu Yanqing smiled and explained Suning's words again.
He looked at Liu Meilan, "This name is good, good-looking and capable, how many people have to be fascinated." Liu Meilan scratched her head and did not speak. Suning glanced at Liu Yanqing, but he didn't speak. Seeing that both of them stopped talking, Liu Yanqing didn't ask anything. The carriage walked forward, and the man who was outside couldn't help but smile when he heard the voice inside, he thought that Liu Yanqing was a cold person.
I didn't expect him to have such a side. The road ahead is very dark, and if you don't have experience in walking at night, you will really have an accident. He squinted, the bitter cold wind whistling in his ears. His whole body was shrunk, but it didn't do anything. At night, the white moonlight hangs in the sky. The cold moonlight illuminated the path ahead of him, and despite all its might, it could not illuminate like the sun.
Zhao Niang's body gradually cooled in the woman's arms, and gusts of cold wind blew in from the open door. blew out the lights, as if it attracted the underworld to take Zhao Niang away. The woman stood up with Zhao Niang in her arms and walked to her hut, she put Zhao Niang on the bed and covered the quilt again. After doing all this, she raised her hand and touched Zhao Niang's face, which was still the same as just now. She went to light the fire again and keep warm.
She burned the stove brighter than usual, as if this would make Zhao Niang's body warm up. After a long time, she came to sit beside Zhao Niang again. She touched Zhao Niang's face, and looked at Zhao Niang, who was no longer angry, and her heart hurt even more. Not so long ago, they were rubbing each other's medicine here. She would never have thought that today would be like this, just because she went to Lin Hu Chang to complain.
Just because Chief Lin happened to be from the capital, Zhao Dalang treated her like this. But why, what did she do wrong again. The woman stood up and headed for the kitchen. There was no light in the room, but she walked to the place where she often chopped vegetables, and she picked up the kitchen knife. After that, I touched the kitchen knife with my other hand, this kitchen knife is very large, and I can feel the coolness on the knife when I put my hand on it.
She took a deep breath and walked out. From the kitchen to Zhao Dalang's house, the woman felt more and more relaxed with each step. When she came to Zhao Dalang's house, she raised her hand and slashed at Zhao Dalang's neck. Perhaps because she often chops bones, she has a lot of strength. Zhao Dalang originally opened his eyes after being cut. It didn't take long for him to pinch the woman's neck with his backhand, and he died from too much blood.
The woman wiped the blood on her face with her sleeve and came to Zhao's father and Zhao's mother's house again. After she entered the door, Zhao's father woke up. He sleeps very lightly and wakes up at the slightest movement. After marrying Zhao's mother, I couldn't sleep every time because of Zhao's mother's snoring. Now when he heard the woman come in, he sat up and looked. I saw the woman staring at him with a kitchen knife in her hand, and he was stared at by the woman like this, and glanced at Zhao's mother with some fear.
The woman didn't say anything and walked over to the bed. Zhao's father sat back a little, and the woman knelt on the bed and killed Zhao's mother in the same way. When Zhao's mother was dying, her eyes were open. The woman sniffed and looked at Zhao's father who was sitting on the side, "Dad, I've been here for so long, even if I've done anything wrong before, I've never asked Zhao Niang to learn from me, and I've never asked her to scold my mother and officials." ”
Father Zhao nodded, the woman's head tilted, and looked at Father Zhao, "Then why, the officials want to kill her." This matter is my fault, why did he attack Zhao Niang. Father Zhao didn't speak, the woman walked in front of him with a sneer, and reached out to grab Father Zhao's clothes, "Dad, you haven't come back at that time, then I'll tell you." After you left, I was called by him to buy wine, and I saw it when I came back. ”
As she spoke, her hand tightened again, "I saw Zhao Niang crying and running towards me, and she said while running that Zhao Dalang beat her." I saw that she was covered in blood, and I was ready to take her away. Who knew that Zhao Dalang pushed me out of the door and didn't let me in, so I listened to Zhao Niang crying at the door. I wanted to go to the head of the forest household, but before I got to the door of the head of the forest household, I was taken back by Zhao Dalang, and when I went back. ”
Her voice was crying at this time, "When I went back, I saw that Zhao Niang was dead." Father Zhao hurriedly closed his eyes, not wanting to continue listening. But when the woman saw him with his eyes closed, she grabbed his clothes and shook them twice, and then said, "Everything is my fault, I shouldn't have gone to Chief Lin Hu, I was cheap, but why did you do it to my son, why do you say why?" ”
Father Zhao didn't speak, the woman nodded and took two steps back. Father Zhao thought she wasn't going to do anything, and opened her eyes. Before he could look at the woman, Zhao's mother's head had already rolled to his hand. Father Zhao was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. The woman slashed at him again, and Zhao's father covered the wound on his back and looked at the woman. Before he could say anything, the woman slashed down again, and Zhao's father's head also fell off.
After doing all this, the woman let out a long breath and walked out the door. She found herself a bag of poison and walked to Zhao Niang's bedside with it. Without thinking about it, he swallowed the poison. She went to bed and lay down beside Zhao Niang, and reached out to hold Zhao Niang in her arms. She thought that Zhao Niang was asleep, patted her on the back and sang to her. The woman's voice itself is not very good, but the tone gives people a sense of reassurance.
In the afternoon of the next day, the three of them had already arrived at Jingzhao Mansion with their people. Standing at the door, Suning looked at the house he had bought at a great price, and he had a very strange feeling. Liu Yanqing followed down and stood beside the two, but before they could enter the door, Suning suddenly heard a discussion not far from her. It seemed to be a few people, the voice was very small, but she still heard it all.
She stopped suddenly, and Liu Yanqing didn't notice the voice behind her. After Suning stopped, he looked at her, "What's the matter, don't you want to go back?" Suning shook his head, and at this time, the voice behind him sounded again, "Eh, look who that is." How to dress yourself so well, but the family doesn't care. Now go to the Liu family, should they all be from the Liu family, this is really unexpected. ”
Another person also said, "That's it, I told you how to buy you clothes, it turns out that he knows about this." The man sighed, "Well, I said I don't want it, what are you dressed up at such an age?" He said it was okay and he liked to look at me like this. When Suning heard this, he looked down at the clothes on his body, which were full of holes. Yes, although she can embroider, she has sold everything she has embroidered over the years.
The one she was wearing now was simply sewn with another piece of new cloth, that is, the leftovers from which she made clothes. She looked at Liu Meilan again, and the clothes on Liu Meilan's body were relatively new. There are holes that are all covered by what she embroiders, and Liu Meilan often washes her clothes, so it looks like a new one. Suning suddenly smiled, reached out and pulled the sleeve of Liu Meilan's clothes.
Liu Meilan looked at her, "Mother, is there anything wrong with you?" She asked, just now she had been watching the door, and like Liu Yanqing, she didn't hear the voices of the people behind her. Suning shook his head, "It's okay, let's go in." Liu Meilan nodded, she walked to Suning's side, and the two were about to go in. The person behind him said, "Eh, look, all of them are in, they must be from the Liu family." ”
Liu Meilan frowned when she heard this, turned her head to look back, and saw two women looking at them. That expression made people know that they were the ones who had just spoken. Seeing Liu Meilan looking over here, the two hurriedly looked elsewhere. Suning grabbed Liu Meilan's hand, "Forget it, let's go first." Liu Meilan nodded, and the three of them walked into the door, and the people in the carriage behind them came down at this time.
One man said, "They just go in and it won't be fine." The other replied, "What can happen, I didn't see anything when I was there, and what can happen now." Besides, if it really makes trouble, let's go on it together. It's just the same as it was back then, it won't take long. The man was still a little worried, "Can it be the same now as before, now that Erlangjun is here, what should I do." ”
The man in the lead chuckled when he heard this, "What is this, what Ah Lang says is what it is." With that, he took the lead and walked inside the door. Seeing that everyone was gone, all the onlookers dispersed. A man ran into the house and told Liu Zhengsheng that Suning and the others had arrived. Liu Zhengsheng nodded and let him out. As soon as the man walked out of the door, Liu Yanqing came with Suning and Liu Meilan, and they opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Zhengsheng sitting in front, Suning frowned and walked to the back. She glanced at Liu's mother, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and came out and walked in front of Liu Meilan, "Lan'er, you go inside and stand first." Liu Meilan glanced at Liu Zhengsheng and walked inside obediently. After seeing that Liu Meilan's voice was gone, Suning began to say, "Liu Zhengsheng, how long has it been since I saw you, shouldn't you come over and ask?" ”
Liu Zhengsheng raised his eyebrows, put down the teacup in his hand, and walked in front of Suning, "If I'm not mistaken, you have already married my second brother." Now let me ask you, there is no such reason in the world, sister-in-law. Suning glanced to the side, and then looked back at Liu Zhengsheng, "You come out with me to talk." After Suning finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the door, and when he looked back again, he found that Liu Zhengsheng was still in place.
He didn't move a single step at all, which made Suning frown, "What?" You don't come out? Liu Zhengsheng smiled, "It's only been a long time, why are you like a different person." As soon as Suning wanted to speak, Liu Yanqing blocked in front of Suning, "I just want to make things clear back then, what is my brother doing?" Ready to hit someone? Liu Zhengsheng sighed, "Beating people? She was going to hit me. ”
Suning was speechless, and Liu Yanqing continued, "Brother, come out and say something." Liu Yanqing also wanted to call Liu Zhengsheng out first, because he and Suning thought the same. No matter how they make trouble, they must think of Liu's mother's body first. Liu Zhengsheng didn't think about going out, he looked at Liu Yanqing, "You can call her back when you go?" I thought you wouldn't be able to call her back, but I didn't expect to be called back by you. ”
Liu Yanqing was dumbfounded, and Liu Zhengsheng continued, "Suning is afraid that he has forgotten all the previous things, otherwise how could he come back with you." Brother, why didn't you see Liu Wu. He didn't come back with you? Liu Yanqing pursed his lips, knowing that he deliberately didn't want to go out now, so he said, "You don't go out, is it because you don't dare to go out?" Are you scared? You're afraid of being told what happened before. ”
When Liu Zhengsheng heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle, "By her?" Do you think I'll care? If it was when you first came back, I might still care, but now that you know everything, what do I care? Liu Yanqing took a deep breath, "She is a waste now, you still have so many people to protect you, just to make things clear, why don't you go out, I'm afraid you won't be beaten by her?" ”
Liu Zhengsheng turned the Buddha beads and said, "Tell me clearly? Didn't Suning make it clear to you? She's been asking you before, but you've been in the capital all along, so I don't know. The corners of Liu Yanqing's mouth twitched a few times, "My brother doesn't come out, what is the reason?" If it's cold, we can change places. Liu Zhengsheng laughed, "Okay, then go out, I want to see what you want to say." ”
As soon as the few people left, Liu's mother, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes. She looked to the side and saw Liu Meilan standing not far from the bed. She was holding a large bag in her hand, and she was wearing clothes that either had a peach blossom here or there. Mother Liu hasn't seen Liu Meilan for a long time, and when she saw Liu Meilan before, she was still very young, and she was too different from her current appearance, plus her face.
is very similar to Liu Yanqing, which made Liu's mother frown, and raised her hand to let Liu Meilan pass. Liu Meilan walked to the side of the bed and squatted down, Liu's mother gently tapped Liu Meilan's eyebrows with her fingertips, and said in her mouth, "Like, really like." Liu Meilan didn't understand why Liu's mother said this, but she was never a person who asked strangers more, so she didn't speak. Liu's mother asked, "Is your father's name Liu Yanqing?" ”
Liu Meilan raised her eyebrows, "No." Liu's mother was puzzled, "You look so similar to him, isn't your father him?" Liu's mother took her hand back, Liu Meilan didn't know what to say about this matter, and thought for a while before explaining to Liu's mother, "My father is Liu Wu, and my mother's name is Suning." Liu Yanqing is my second uncle, and he is very good. Mother Liu shook her head, "How is this possible, your father must be Liu Yanqing." ”
Liu Meilan opened her mouth to explain. But when she saw Liu's mother's face, she gave up again. If she miscalculates, she is wrong, why should she have trouble with her. Liu's mother continued, "Your father is an official in the capital, so it's good to buy clothes for him." What is this I bought for you, and in a moment, you can go and call your father to me, and I'll talk to him. This raises a child, you can't raise it like this. ”
Liu Meilan pursed her lips, she didn't know the person in front of her at all. Why should she think about her? Will Liu Yanqing listen to her? Shouldn't he be an official too? No, if he is really an official, the official position is still above Liu Yanqing, it should be a, no, no matter how good it is, he will not say such a thing. Mother Liu saw that Liu Meilan hadn't spoken all the time, and thought she was scared, so she smiled at her, "Don't be afraid." ”
As she spoke, she raised her hand and touched Liu Meilan's head. "You and your father were the same when you were a child, your father, you have been timid since you were a child. I don't dare to talk to people, and I rarely talk to me. Sometimes if you don't look at it too much, you will be bullied by his eldest brother. By the way, your mother, I finally came back once, why haven't I seen her. Liu Meilan still didn't speak, and Liu's mother continued, "If you don't like to say this, forget it." ”
