Chapter 74: Just Like a River Flowing Eastward (3)
The breeze under the porch is gusting, the shadows of the trees are swaying on the window, and the wind in autumn is a little cool on the body.
At this moment, Feng Li was sent out by a few girls in the back room, and after walking a few steps, the smile on her face was blown away by the wind, she glanced at the room, secretly chewed a few words in her mouth, and brushed her slightly folded sleeves with a handkerchief, and reluctantly moved a few steps.
After a while, Sun also chased out with Xiaoxiao, and when he saw that the person had not yet walked out of the yard, he walked up a few steps quickly, affectionately grabbed Feng Li's arm, and said in a gentle tone: "Good sister, why do you want to be angry with my old lady?" ”
Looking at the corners of Feng Li's mouth, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Sun picked up the words that he said halfway: "The old lady is the grandmother of the girl, how can there be an old man in the world who doesn't care for the junior?" Now the girl's family affairs have not been discussed with her, she is not happy in her heart, and she has always been straightforward, so she said choking words, you only go in the left ear and out the right ear. ”
Feng Li was slightly moved by her, stared at her, and pretended to be helpless: "The Gu family who came to propose marriage also knew the character of the Feng family girl before, and specially went to the girl's room to listen to the words, the girl knew the situation of the Gu family, so she was willing to help others. ”
"You said that this family who knows the roots and knows the bottom can live a good life at a glance when they get married, and with such a good marriage, I can still give my own niece bad fruit to eat?"
Sun raised his forehead in approval, and wanted to continue with her words, but Feng Li never gave her such a chance: "I understand the heart of your old lady, but after all, the girl follows the Feng family's surname, and her father agrees to her parents' orders, so it will not be the grandfather's turn to worry about it." ”
"Yes, yes, if we can get such a marriage, we will be content, the old lady is just angry, I will go back and persuade again, I am sure I am willing." Sun patted the back of Feng Li's hand in a reassuring tone.
Seeing that the other party's words were soft and soft, Feng Li couldn't hold it anymore, so he reluctantly smiled: "It's not a big deal, but now I'm afraid I need to stay in your house for a few days, you just don't bother me." ”
-
This head was finally sent back to Feng Li's family, and Sun's family blew back to Old Madam Shen's house like a wind.
At this time, Mrs. Shen had just prepared for a nap, and when Mother Chu welcomed Sun in, she saw that she had taken off her coat and closed her eyes and leaned on the kang.
Mother Chu went up and called her gently, then gave a salute to Sun's blessing, and walked outside to make tea.
There was silence in the room for a while, and seeing that Old Madam Shen didn't react, Sun held back his stomach full of words, and didn't dare to disturb easily, so he could only sit with him.
The old lady believes in Buddhism and likes sandalwood, so the incense burner in the house is also sandalwood burned every day, its temperature is elegant, mellow and pleasant, but at this moment into Sun's nose, it is unusually tormented and unpleasant.
I don't know how long it has passed, Old Madam Shen opened her eyes slightly, but she didn't speak immediately, and the Buddha beads in her hands kept stopping, just staring at Sun like this.
When the Sun family came in, she had made a draft, but now that she was looked at by Mrs. Shen like this, she was covered in pimples, but she didn't know where to start.
"I understand what you mean."
Old Madam Shen slapped the hand of the Buddha beads, almost snorting from her nose.
Sun was originally sitting upright, but now when he saw that Old Madam Shen was the first to break the ice, he immediately laughed, and his body moved slightly towards her.
Seeing her smooth movements, Old Madam Shen sighed: "I don't want to hear your words at all, if you really want to be a girl, you won't turn back and run this trip." ”
"Ancestor, what are these words, I am the aunt of the girl, how can I not hurt her?"
At this time, Chu's mother made tea and was coming in from outside, and at this time the tea cup was served a few children, and she was very knowledgeable, so she only retreated respectfully.
Old Madam Shen took the teacup unhurriedly, took a sip, her eyes drooped, and she didn't seem to have something to say.
Seeing this, Sun moved his body again, and said tentatively: "Li's words, the daughter-in-law didn't believe it, but Shicai inquired again, the Gu family is indeed a good family, not only is it close to the family of Youjue, but the family is a clear stream for generations, and the lord of the Gu family can also stand in the court, and the most important thing is that the Gu family is a willing and motivated person, and there is only a young sister at the bottom, not to mention the ...... of the brothers."
"What you said, I'm not old and confused, I don't know what to do, am I so angry that I am the Gu family? I am nothing more than angry at them, the Feng family favors one over the other, and does things partially. And although the Gu family is a perfect family, but such a good family affair, there is a Sui girl in front of it, no matter how it should not fall on the girl, even if the Li lady is completely round, but in addition to the brothers and sisters, there are still in-laws and relatives, and there are a bunch of girls and mothers-in-law, and which family does not have a scripture that is difficult to read? As long as something happens in the mansion, it is biased in dealing with it, even if it is a trivial matter, it should be scolded full of holes, and it is difficult to be a person inside and out," Old Madam Shen waved her hand and interrupted Sun's words.
"You are also a housewife, you should understand that everything has to be opened to see the inside, how to marry in the past, only the girls themselves know, even if they are open for them inside and outside before marriage, whether it is brothers and sisters-in-law, in-laws and relatives, in the end, the whole mansion still needs them to run it by themselves."
Sun's thoughtful forehead pursed the corners of his lips: "Yes, my mother is naturally thoughtful, it's just a marriage of a girl, and the second room is overdone, and now the two families have agreed, this time people come to our house just to inform them, no matter how we are, we can't refute people's intentions, right?" ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a heavy sound from above, and I saw Mrs. Shen slap on a few sons, and said quickly: "What is their second room!" How long has the girl's mother gone! They came to fight their own daughter's idea, and my girl is not a thing, let others take it! ”
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, I saw that Mrs. Shen's chest rose and fell for a while, and Sun was also frightened, so he got up and took a tea cup to eat a few bites with her: "Mother is not angry, but she is very angry." ”
"When I took this girl back, the people in the second room were also happy, and they have been ignoring it, but now when something happens, they are rushing to pick up people, how can there be such a reason!? Although my old lady is a person who has buried half of her child in the loess, she is not a dead person, and she is left to be her granddaughter! Old Madam Shen slowed down for a while, and her words were still slightly nasal.
Sun's brows furrowed slightly, and she didn't know what to do for a while, she was silent for a moment, her eyes rolled, and she whispered softly: "Daughter-in-law understands that the ancestor is distressed about his granddaughter, and you are now looking at other people's affairs for a few girls, this girl is going to get married sooner or later, and now she is meeting the Gu family, and the two families are the right match, as for the second room of the Feng family, the girl has passed the door, and it has nothing to do with his family, even if she really wants to meet, it is just a movement between relatives, but it is not in the way." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Shen was really angry, picked up the tea cup next to her and threw it on the ground, the tea cup fell to the ground, the porcelain pieces splashed all over the ground, and the tea also stained Sun's skirt, her eyes widened in shock, and she subconsciously took a step back and covered her ears.
"What the Gu family really wants to look at is the Sui girl, the roots they planted themselves, and now they see that the growth is not good, they hide the Sui girl, and they want to use the girl as a disguise, how can it be so reasonable? ! It's so deceitful! After a moment of silence, Old Madam Shen took a sip fiercely, and her face was completely cold.
Seeing this, although Sun secretly cursed in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything on the surface, but he didn't wait long before he saw Old Madam Shen wave her hand and gave her an eviction order.
There was a lot of movement inside, and when the son saw Sun leave with a gray face, Feng Wanniang showed her body from behind the porch. At that time, she didn't follow Feng Li first, but now after listening to this call, her face turned even more pale for a while, and she stumbled a few steps before she reluctantly went out of the side door.
Along the way, Feng Wanniang was also speechless, and the willow branches beside her couldn't help but have a mouthful: "Why don't you go to the old lady's room and ask for it again, the old lady loves you, and she will not stand idly by." ”
As he was talking, he was slapped by Feng Wanniang with a cold eye, and Liu Zhi realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and immediately buried his head deeply.
"Are you stupid! At this time, my grandmother was angry, and I rushed into it in such a daze, but I caused her a suspicion, it is better to be well-behaved and sensible, and I can get some pity from her. ”
"What if Old Madam Shen can't be trusted?" After a while, the willow branch came back to his senses and tried to say a word.
At this moment, I saw Feng Wanniang's face visibly cold, and her hands clutched the handkerchief tightly: "Who in this world can rely on whom?" Those who rely on the mountains to draft water will eventually have the day when the mountains and rivers will dry up, so it is better to seek others than to seek themselves. ”
Better do it than wish it done.
Feng Wanniang bit very tightly when she said these words. Willow Branch silently recited it in her heart, and she guessed a little bit of what she meant.
-
Tonight, Old Madam Shen sent someone to inform the courtyards, and she only said that she was tired, so she was exempted from the province.
Yu Yu soon found out the reason, and after telling the girl one by one, Shen Shuisha also heard it immediately, and just told her to continue to inquire about Fandai's news in the past few days.
Now that some time has passed, Shen Shuisha has been intermittently dreaming the same dream for the past few days and nights, in which her mother is covered in blood, crying over and over again, and her mouth is always repeating something that she can't hear clearly.
This made her wake up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely, and she couldn't sleep in the second half of the night.
But such a dream made her want to prove more and more that her mother's death must not be simple. So she secretly sent a letter to her uncle's house, and waited like this for a few more days, and finally waited for the opportunity to see her uncle again.
