Chapter 47: Mother
Xie Zhiyun was very neat, and the next morning, she asked Mama Zhao early, and immediately went to the door of Ronghua Hall.
Cui Ji's body has improved a lot, no longer coughing all day, no longer need to linger on the sickbed all day, when Xie Zhiyun arrived, she was sitting in the sunny courtyard as a female worker.
The Cui family is also a century-old clan, but it is not as famous as the Xie family, and the most important thing for the women of the Xie family is poetry, calligraphy, lyrics and paintings.
And what Cui's women are best at is how to be a good wife.
Although Cui Ji is a side branch of Cui's family, she is not conspicuous at home, but she is indeed virtuous and considerate, and she is very wise, especially the first-hand female workers.
Xie Zhiyun sat next to Cui Ji and looked at the embroidered pattern in her hand with a smile.
It was a picture of butterflies playing with begonias.
Xie Zhiyun sincerely sighed: "Mother's embroidery is really amazing. ”
Cui Ji took the needle and shook his head with a smile: "It's old, it's useless, this pair of embroidery hasn't been finished for two months, and if you delay it for a while, Shu'er won't be able to wear it." ”
"This is what my mother did for my eldest sister?" Xie Zhiyun's heart moved.
Cui Ji said: "Yes, I thought that spring was coming soon, so I would make her a new hundred-fold skirt, and choose a brighter color to wear it." ”
Speaking of this, Cui Ji paused and explained very carefully.
"You all have your own preferences, I don't interfere much, An An is still a little girl, where to dress up, I only do it for Shu'er."
Xie Zhiyun couldn't help laughing.
"Mother, I understand, you don't have to be so cautious," Xie Zhiyun changed his words, "The eldest sister is thanks to her mother's care, otherwise she might not even be able to go out of the door." ”
Cui Ji put down the embroidery bandage in his hand and looked at Xie Zhiyun with some doubt.
Xie Zhiyun sat up straight, lowered his eyes and said to Cui Ji: "Mother, my eldest sister looked for me yesterday. ”
She didn't hide it, she repeated the meaning of Wei Ningshu yesterday, and then said: "The eldest sister is her own family, since I promised her, I will do what I say." ”
After saying that, Xie Zhiyun raised his head and looked at Cui Ji eagerly.
But Cui Ji's face sank.
It was obviously a sunny day in early spring, but Cui Ji's eyes seemed to have winter snow again.
The cold that doesn't go away all year round is terrifying.
Xie Zhiyun slowly withdrew the smile on her face, she sat silently with her eyes, and said no more.
After a long time, Cui Ji sighed.
"Since you told me, you probably already know about Shu'er's past from Boqian," Cui Ji said, "Can you tell me what you think?" ”
Xie Zhiyun didn't want to say that she sympathized with Wei Ningshu, because Wei Ningshu didn't seem to need the sympathy of others, she shrunk into her own world and lived a peaceful life.
Xie Zhiyun pondered his words for a while before he said: "Mother, I also told the little grandfather yesterday that he is the eldest brother and I am the eldest sister-in-law, if the eldest sister doesn't want to get married, then stay at home." ”
"We'll raise her in the future."
Xie Zhiyun's words were sonorous and powerful, and the sun fell on her bright eyes in small pieces, leaving patches of brilliant golden flowers.
She is always calm, elegant and dignified, and you can see the confidence of a century-old family from her.
No matter what happens, she rarely panics, even if she is scared in her heart, she can maintain the honor of the Xie family's concubine on her face.
This is what it can only become after more than ten years of rigorous teaching.
Cui Ji sighed in his heart, but he still held her hand and said in a low voice: "Good boy, you have a heart." ”
Xie Zhijun has never been afraid to take responsibility, and anything given to her can be done.
"What do you mean by mother?"
Cui Ji took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"I don't have to get her married, and Grandpa Guo doesn't think she has to get married, but she's too lonely."
Cui Ji said: "I am not her biological mother, but I raised her since I was a child, and I have raised her longer than An An, in my heart, you are all my children." ”
Cui Ji has the gentleness and love that are unique to the Cui family.
"Yu Zhi is a good boy, we were all very happy to have someone to make Shu'er open her heart back then, but it's a pity that creation makes people, and in the end Yin and Yang are separated, and Shu'er has lost the only opportunity to get out of the shadow of the past."
"But parents always want to pull their children again, and don't want them to continue to be depressed."
"As long as there is Wei's for a day, you can naturally raise Shu'er for a day, but living and surviving are two different things."
Cui Ji said this, and finally couldn't say any more.
Xie Zhiyun immediately understood what Cui Ji meant, she and Grandpa Guo both wanted Wei Ningshu to live happily like an ordinary little lady.
I don't want to see her huddle in the corner alone, remembering the old people alone, and surviving alone.
Xie Zhiyun thought for a while and said, "But mother, no matter how you live, the eldest sister must be willing." ”
"There will be a long time in the future, and there may be all kinds of things and people to change the eldest sister's mind, so it's better to go with the flow and take one step at a time."
"Don't mention the past, if you look for someone else, the eldest sister is actually afraid."
That's right.
Not to mention the marriage that collapsed in the middle way, just talking about Wei Ningshu's character, it doesn't seem like she can get married.
Xie Zhiyun laughed when he saw Cui Ji's expression relaxed.
"Mother, if you really meet someone that the eldest sister can accept in the future, it's a big deal, as long as the eldest sister is still at home, she has nothing to fear."
Cui Ji was slightly stunned, she rarely showed a surprised look, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Xie Zhiyun continued: "If my mother feels that my eldest sister is lonely, I will ask her when I go back, it is okay to raise a raccoon slave, it can always make people happy." ”
Cui Ji had never thought about these things before.
At this time, she finally realized that Xie Zhiyun seemed to be the daughter of a well-behaved family, but deep in her heart, there was also a side that did not adhere to etiquette.
Being comfortable and happy is the most important thing.
What is there to care about?
Cui Ji sighed, but soon, a smile resurfaced on her face.
"You're right, it's me who got into the horns with Grandpa Guo," Cui Ji thought for a while and said, "Shu'er likes raccoon slaves, she always likes to feed the raccoon slaves on the street corner when she is young, but she is very sensible, and she never mentions that she wants to raise one." ”
Cui Ji was a little depressed again.
"It's me who didn't be a good mother."
Xie Zhijun found that she always likes to introspect, obviously she has tried her best to do her best, but she always blames herself for her incompetence.
"What did Mother say?" Xie Zhiyun grabbed her arm, like an ordinary girl, coquettish with her mother, "My mother passed away when I was young, and so did my little grandfather, speaking of which, I haven't experienced my mother's love, but in you, we don't feel unfamiliar." ”
"You are our good mother."
