Chapter 34: Ancestral Conversations

This time after the spring equinox, the sky is also much warmer.

Outside, there was another heavy rain, and the raindrops were like beads with broken threads, and the beads fell on jade plates, accumulating large and small shallow depressions in the courtyard.

There was already a bright moon hanging high in the haze, and the clouds on the horizon sank like ink, and the water in the pool rose, and the smoke was light and light, enveloping the small courtyard not far away.

I don't know whose paintbrush I get, I dipped it in the moonlight, and dyed the courtyard with a deep blue.

The oil-paper umbrella gently crossed the mist, breaking the silence, and when she was stuck in a courtyard, she saw a few girls outside the door bending over, half-raising the curtain with low eyebrows, and welcoming Mrs. Shen in.

At this time, waiting to take off the cloak, Mother Chu took the old lady and turned the four screens of mahogany flowers into it.

It's also as warm as a spring breeze.

The light is also dim, the curtain on the edge of the kang is half lifted, and from a distance, I can see the hookah half lying down, leaning lightly on the table, the wrist is weak, half on the edge of the kang, the apricot eyes are slightly closed, and there is no trace of blood on the jade-like face.

The hosta stood beside her, and when she saw Mrs. Shen coming, she hurriedly saluted, and was about to make a sound, but she stopped her, so she only smiled, and turned her head to look at the girl.

It didn't take long for all I could hear was the sound of the curtains outside.

Then Yu Yu came in with a red lacquer soup bowl, and when she saw that the old lady was also there, she was stunned, and she was half blessed and walked towards the side of the kang.

Seeing the hookah like this, he was a little stunned, and sighed lightly: "Girl? As he spoke, he motioned for the hosta to help her.

The hookah was also half-dreaming and half-dazed, his brain was very heavy, and the sound of the jade was in his ears, so he lazily raised his eyelids.

Then I saw my grandmother coming.

also wanted to get up and salute, but was stopped by Mrs. Shen and only told her to lie down.

A bowl of medicinal juice entered her throat, her mouth was full of astringent water, she couldn't help frowning, and then took the tea cup handed by the hosta, and also ate saliva to rinse her mouth, and vomited in the spittoon.

"This lazy girl, grandmother is here, why don't you know that there will be a sound?"

Shen Shuisha picked up his apricot eyes to look at the hosta, his eyes were purple and black, and there was a hint of anger in his tone.

Old Madam Shen chuckled and looked at her, and when she saw that her palm-sized face was pale, she also sighed lightly, sat down on the Arhat bench on one side, and lowered her head and straightened her clothes: "You don't have to blame her, I didn't let her call her." ”

After that, she took the stove and covered it carefully, and raised her eyes to look at the jade and a few people: "You go down, I'll say a few words to the cigarette girl." ”

When the words fell, Chu's mother went out with a few people.

Seeing that the curtain outside was lifted, Old Madam Shen paused, and her eyes traced her carefully: "Is it better?" ”

Hearing this, the hookah's heart was slightly warm, and at this time, he teased the eyelashes like cicada wings, and he actually felt struggling, so he closed his eyes lazily, and then smiled: "Grandmother Lao is worried, it's much better." ”

"Hmph, it's really stupid, I haven't eased up this day, the pool water is very cold, and I'm not afraid of falling into any disease." Old Madam Shen didn't reply to her smiling face, snorted lightly, and pursed her lips.

When the hookah heard this, he smiled silently, lowered his eyes and gently pinched the brocade quilt, carefully tracing the lines on his head.

At that time, I didn't think about that much, I just watched a few people entangled by the lotus pond, and I didn't care who it was, I just couldn't ignore it, and watched the excitement on one side, so I went up to stop it.

Who knows, it's so coincidental that I fell down by myself, and then my body gradually sank uncontrollably, and I didn't know anything.

The hookah slandered, and then listened to Mrs. Shen ask again: "You are not a bodhisattva who rescues the world, like this, others will not thank you, but you have suffered this for others, so that they can breathe this out." ”

The hookah only listened quietly, with a hint of warmth in her eyes, and her heart was slanderous, and only her grandmother cared about her at this time.

She also expected that since she was like this, her grandmother, who had killed all sides when she was young, would not be able to swallow this breath, and would definitely go to the long house to seek justice for her, and with her grandmother to rely on, she would not be afraid of anything.

"I didn't think about that much at that time, Sister Wan was so dragged and refused to let go, if I didn't go again, I shouldn't have been." The hookah has tears in his eyes, his heart is warm, and his smile is also very warm.

"Grandmother taught her granddaughter the most when she was young, and she wanted her sisters to help each other and love each other. She thought for a moment and continued.

Old Madam Shen couldn't hate her when she looked at her like this, so she couldn't help but cry and laugh: "It's a good reason, and it's not bad today, but looking at you like this, there is no good one, I feel distressed." ”

As she was speaking, Old Madam Shen paused and put her hand lightly on a few sons.

"Today in the main house of the long house, your distant aunt is acting well, she doesn't dare to brush my face, but she is also different, she just wants to solve this matter quickly, and she complains in her heart, my family has nothing to do with her family, I don't blame her for being like this."

As he spoke, he glanced at the hookah lightly and saw that her eyes always fell on herself.

He pursed his lips and continued: "Only a girl, it can be seen that she is afraid of getting into trouble, and she is also cautious, you helped her, she didn't say a word, compared to the Sui girl who can't get married, she is refreshing, and she can't stand it and say a few words, which is better than what she wants to do." ”

Hearing this, the hookah sneered without a trace, she had expected that this Feng Wanniang would be a wolf-hearted master, if she helped herself speak today, it would be a strange thing.

It's just to take revenge on her, indifferent bystanders, and let her fall into the water like this, but she shouldn't be a sister, if you want to embarrass her, there will be a way to do it in the future.

Thinking about it, he took the old lady's words: "Sister Wan has been taken care of by no one since she was a child, she has never relied on anyone, and no one has come out for her, such a little person has been crawling in this tiger wolf den for many years, and she can only indulge if she is bullied, no one complains, and she swallows it alive, which is not strange." "This is also a false pity.

After a pause, he continued: "Only like this, the granddaughter couldn't stand it, so she went to help her, but the aunt, this was the girl in her room, and she didn't deal with her sister, she looked at her face, and she should be punished, otherwise wouldn't she be honest with others, so that she could arrange her family in the future?" ”

When Mrs. Shen heard this, how could she not hear the meaning of the hookah's words, her face was not obvious, and she was a little relieved in her heart, so she pressed her head as if she had nothing.

Suddenly, something came to mind in his mind, his eyes were mixed with some complex emotions, and he said lightly: "It's also a disaster, now your aunt has not been good, and the girl is also filial, but she is so tolerant everywhere, it is inevitable that she will grow into the ambition of others, and now that she goes, she knows that this house can't accommodate her." ”

"Now the second room of Aunt Cui is pregnant, your uncle's heart is on the concubine's room, your aunt is like this, just thinking about some of the husband and wife feelings accumulated in the past, since the old lady of his family left, the girl has been helpless for many years, and there is no Lao Tzu to love, so a few arrogant girls in the big house rode to the head."

Old Madam Shen was kind-hearted, and she shed a tear while talking.

The hookah looked in his eyes, and his heart was sour for a while.

That's right, in her previous life, it wasn't because of her old man's temporary soft-heartedness, she buried the root of Feng Wanniang's bane in the Shen Mansion, how could she fall into the field by herself!

Right now, I can't let go of Feng Wanniang easily, I just took her back according to the old lady's wishes, and then like a cat catching a mouse, I didn't give her a pleasure, but only slowly grinded her, so as to return the pain of my previous life little by little.

Thinking about it, the hookah jade hand stroked the jade bracelet on Hao's wrist, and only clasped it tightly, trying his best to hide the chill in his eyes.

After all, she didn't speak, and Old Madam Shen looked at her and still looked bad, thinking that she hadn't recuperated, so she also suppressed her expression, and only remained silent.

The hookah slowed down for a while, and then smiled again, loosened the movement of his hand, and said softly to Mrs. Shen: "It should be the granddaughter, now my aunt is not good, like this, the smoke is adding trouble to everyone, making you worry about both ends." ”

As soon as these words came out, Old Madam Shen looked at her gently, and she expected that she was a self-reproach, and her slightly frowning brows were also much more relaxed, and a smile finally surfaced.

"Silly girl, if it weren't for you, the girl wouldn't be able to get around this, Heng and Zhi are going to suffer this calamity, only suffer you, follow me, but it will never be good." Old Madam Shen sighed lightly, her eyes fluttering.

Seeing her like this, the hookah also smiled comfortingly, thought about it, and then diverted the conversation and said something else.

At this time, the chatterbox opened, and the grandfather and grandson talked for a while, and their mouths were dry, so they added several teas.

Unconsciously, the house was also cold, and I realized that the charcoal in the brazier was almost gone, so I called the girl to come in and add charcoal.

This time Fang waited, and then he heard a flustered footsteps outside, and gradually, he got closer and closer, and when he looked out of the window, he saw a few girls turning on the lights, and hurriedly walked towards the end of the house.

When I got to the outer corridor, I took off my cloak to shake off the rain.

I couldn't wait, and then I heard the curtain ring, and several people came in.

Shen Shuisha looked sideways, and knew that it was Mother Li next to Feng Li's side in the long room.

This Mother Li's face was not good, she pulled her face, and she couldn't abolish the rules, so she saluted half-blessedly, and then said quickly: "Old lady... Oh no! ”

Hearing that she was out of breath, a bad premonition flashed in Shisha's heart, and he looked at her with a light in his eyes.

Old Madam Shen had already stood up at this time, and her body frowned at her with the strength of a few sons on one side.

After a pause, I heard Li's mother's trembling voice, and two crystal tears had already flowed in her eyes: "Second... The second grandmother is not good. ”

As soon as this sound came out, it was like a thunderbolt, and it directly broke the heart of the old lady Shen, only to see that her old man's feet were unstable, and she fell, but fortunately, Mother Chu came in time and helped her.
