Chapter 5: Mother's Family
Seeing that it was night, this time the child served dinner, and the hookah looked out of the window alone.
The night is surprisingly quiet, and for some reason, the night in Qingzhou is much more pleasant than in Kyoto. The night sky is like a vast sea, and several stars are dotted, which makes people sigh at their beauty.
In the past, on such a clear night, the hookah would have taken a few hostas out for a walk, but now her seemingly delicate body hides a mature soul, and she can't go back to the innocence of the past.
The lights were off outside, and the path reflecting the courtyard was a little quieter.
Afraid that the master would be cold at night, Jade closed the window early and waited for the hookah to take medicine.
The entrance of candied fruit eliminated the bitterness of the medicine.
The hookah looked at the book for a while, the night was already deep, and the reluctant Rong hosta waited to fall asleep.
Still not able to get rid of the habit of being afraid of the dark, the jade is accustomed to laying a sheep's horn lamp outside the master's curtain, the light is dim, but it is enough to reflect the outline of the house, and the hookah is relieved to fall asleep.
——
The next morning, when she got up, she came over with the medicine. Look at the hookah sitting in front of the makeup dowry in a daze, looking at himself in the bronze mirror.
She also stepped forward and put the medicine bowl, and stepped forward to look at the face floating above, the white and immature jade face, the cheeks were a little ruddy compared to yesterday, and the black hair was scattered on the shoulders, and the apricot eyes were particularly smart, obviously not powdered, but still delicate.
After all, seeing that the master's spirit was better than yesterday, Yu Yu's heart was overjoyed, and there was a childish smile on his face, and the two pear nests were particularly obvious: "It's time for the girl to take medicine." ”
Xu was too fascinated, the hookah was shocked, and when he calmed down, he took the medicine bowl and drank it all.
The medicinal juice entered his throat, but it was bitter, and the hookah couldn't help frowning.
Jade Yu saw her thoughts, and just joked leisurely: "The girl can't stand the smell of medicine." With that, he handed over the prepared dates again.
The date is in the mouth, which covers the bitter taste of the medicine.
Rubbing the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, the hookah gradually eased up, coughed sullenly, his eyes fell on the jade, only faintly hooked the corners of his lips, and he still sat steadily, without saying a word.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by footsteps outside.
Leaning into the courtyard, I saw the hosta running towards the inner room in the distance.
The curtain was quickly lifted.
Seeing her gasping for breath, Yu Yu frowned: "The girl just used the medicine, this time Zi Jingjing, don't bother her." ”
The hosta was not annoyed when she heard it, but when her breath was stable, she couldn't wait to spit out the words in one breath: "Hurry up and serve the girl to make up, there will be guests waiting in the front yard!" ”
Guest?
How long has it been since the old mansion was visited?
Now that the three girls are left alone to guard such a big house, who will come to find it?
"Don't sell it, the people who came are looking for our girl?" Jade Yu was stunned and asked a little blankly.
The hosta still nodded excitedly: "Yes, in the front yard!" ”
The hookah's heart tightened, and now except for the Shen family, she couldn't think of a second person who would come to the door, she resisted the question in her heart, and combed by the jade.
Since he saw the distinguished guests, the hookah picked out a beaded flower that he was reluctant to wear on weekdays from the makeup, and asked the jade hairpin to carefully put it on his head and make a fallen horse bun.
In her previous life, looking at herself in the mirror, she would definitely be happy for a while, but now she couldn't be happy, just quietly looking at the hosta's happy look in the mirror, and her eyes couldn't help but flow.
Against the stone in his heart, he followed the hosta to the front yard.
When Mother Wang saw someone coming, she also greeted her with a happy face: "The girl is much better now." ”
The hookah only tilted her head and hooked her thin lips, and did not answer her words, only a heart fluttered on the person who came.
The curtain was half raised, and the hosta helped people in, and the hookah was still pondering in her heart, when she saw a woman rushing towards her, and with a faint smile, she gently stopped her hand, and looked her up and down with bright eyes.
Only then did she ease her senses, and gently raised her eyes to look at her, but she was shocked, and slowly let go of her hand, and only blessed her slightly with the residual warmth in her hand.
I saw that the woman was wearing a brocade dress with a dark pattern of elastic flowers, a pure pleated skirt with flowers, a plump body, her hair was combed with high sideburns, a goose egg face, a white jade Bodhi pendant hanging from her ears, and a pair of peach blossom eyes had bent out of a moving arc.
The memory flooded again, and she secretly thought that this was her aunt, Wang Wei.
The hookah bit her lower lip, was helped up by her, and sat down on the big Luohan chair beside her.
Seeing someone at this time, she was always a person who couldn't let go, with a smile on her face, she looked sideways at the mother-in-law standing next to her, and pursed her lips slightly.
Wang Weishi also followed her gaze, thinking that she hadn't seen her for a long time, and it was normal for the girl's family to be afraid, she coughed lightly and ordered her mother-in-law to go out, so she opened her mouth first: "This kung fu sister has grown into a flower-like girl, thinking about the last time I went to your mother's place to eat and drink, you are still a little older, and you only know how to circle around your mother." ”
When these words came out, he realized that something was wrong, Wang Wei hurriedly looked at the hookah's look, and saw that she only lowered her eyes and did not move, so she cleared her throat slightly embarrassedly and covered it with a smile.
Shisha wondered in her heart, the first time she saw Wang Weishi in her previous life was when she went to Shen's house to eat, when she was only three or four years old, and she had no contact with her, and that time alone was the last time she saw her. Now that I see her again in the old house, is it difficult that something has happened in this life, and it is different?
"Why is my aunt here? I didn't send a letter in advance, so I was not prepared. The hookah smirked, and his tone was soft and soft.
"I didn't think about it so much when I came in a hurry,"
Wang Wei smiled faintly, but he heard the sound of the curtain outside, and it was Yu Yu who brought tea and fruit.
After a few teas, the jade is also a well-behaved person, looking at the silence in the house, he knew that it was not time, and he only went out.
Watching the curtain lifted, Wang Weishi continued to speak: "Your uncle raised a five-rank official position a while ago, and entered Beijing from Yangzhou, thinking that he would get a place with your family in the future, so he asked me to go to Shen Mansion to see a few of your sisters, after all, it is a member of my mother's family, and you feel relieved when you see it.
Unexpectedly, the Shen family supported me for a long time, but I only saw your second sister and didn't see you coming, so I went to the inner courtyard to look for it without permission, and they told the truth. ”
Hearing this, the hookah understood, she sneered in her heart, but she listened with a calm face, and just served the tea in front of Wang Wei's eyes.
Wang Weishi took the tea, skimmed the floating tea leaves, his eyes flowed, and he took a sip, he only felt unhappy in his heart, and his tone was higher: "The eldest lady of your family knows that there are 800 hearts and eyes at a glance, and I can't help but say that she will only go back to discuss with your uncle, your uncle is a bold man, seeing that we don't have a caring girl, he will come to Qingzhou to pick you up, and raise him as his own daughter." ”
Shisha originally wanted to ask the Shen family to take it back at the end of the month, but he didn't think that his uncle was pitying, he mentioned it before the Shen family, and he was moved in his heart, and secretly pursed his lips: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your love, Shisha remembered it in my heart." ”
She got up and was about to bow down, but she was held by Wang Wei, and only took her hand and brought it into her arms: "Look, isn't this an outsider?" ”
Thinking that it was so close, Wang Weishi leaned forward and looked at the hookah carefully, and finally his eyes fell on the jade bracelet on her wrist, and his smile suddenly froze, and he only muttered: "But the child who is only a teenager, my sister-in-law somehow blinded her heart by lard, called the cousin of the next family who didn't know how many turns to continue the string, this cousin has 800 flower intestines, and only a few of your sisters are suffering." ”
"It's hard for my aunt to work hard, although I belong to the Shen family, but I have been raised outside all these years, even if she has the ability to turn the world upside down, she can't manage Qingzhou." The hookah held back the tears in her eyes and smiled.
Wang Weishi was very happy when he looked at her, only stroked the soft broken hair on her forehead, and sighed lightly: "Although the poison is poisonous, it also hurts the body, she became a lady because of the blessing of your mother and no sister-in-law, but I see that she has seen people's hearts for a long time, and she may not end up well in the future." ”
After that, she loosened the hookah, put on her hair bun and straightened it, her eyes were a little moist, but there was still a smile on her face, and she only opened her lips and said: "Good boy, I will live in the same room with you today, and we will catch up with the old days, and we can prepare for going back." ”
Hearing this, Shisha hurriedly called Yu Yu to clean up her residence, and she couldn't find any other words to say, but fortunately, Wang Weishi spoke first and asked her to lead her to the courtyard for a walk, so she answered softly and helped her to go out with the curtain.
