Chapter 515: Luck and Misfortune
Liu Tinger sat in front of the window, was busy pulling the needle and thread, her knees put a coat that could already be seen in shape, the clothing was not Ayaluo, just ordinary Ge cloth, this is the job she took the initiative to ask for in the sewing room, for the servants in the house to prepare the autumn clothes issued in July, she has been sewing for some time, at this time it is inevitable that her eyes are a little sore, and her waist seems to be a little tired, so she can't help but look out of the window at a tree of elm money, clustered in the golden sun, the green color makes her eyes soothed, and she can see it for a while.
Chang'an has entered the middle of summer, the sun is extraordinarily thick, but the breeze still occasionally invades the curtains, and the ice basin placed not far away is constantly releasing cool air, so Ting did not feel the heat, her mood is clearly calm as usual, but because of this, it is almost comfortable, but it reminds her of the experience she has just passed, which once made her so desperate.
It's not because of how thrilling the encounter is, she has always known that Huo Yi has a steward arranged by Mrs. Tai, as long as she is willing, she can help her return to Beijing at any time, and she will never be lonely and helpless, her despair is because she has finally lost some other important relatives in her life.
Her uncle used to love her so much, she still remembers that when she was a child, whenever the Lantern Festival, her uncle would take her and her younger brother to see the lanterns, and very generously "blackmailed" the two sisters and brothers to buy all kinds of snacks to eat, and her uncle always smiled and groaned, would rub the top of her hair with thick palms, and would lift Qian'er up and put it on her shoulders.
So the old uncle came to pick her up and return to Huoyi, although Mrs. Tai was very worried that her uncle was not kind, but she did not have any doubts, she was willing to believe that her uncle was really worried about her, and missed her niece who had been separated for many years, so she was willing to take her home to live in the middle of the year.
She believed her uncle's words: "Your parents passed away, not because your uncle ignored you and Qian'er when they were young and helpless, but really ...... Huo Yiliu is a family in the end, and his uncle is just a businessman...... The world is like this, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and my uncle really can't find your world father to theorize...... Uncle did want to raise your sister and brother, but Huo Yiliu did not allow the same, and the uncle was also considered for Qian'er, he was a man, for the sake of the future, of course, he was expected to study in Taiyuan Dazong to study clans. ”
Ting understands her uncle's difficulties, although her father is not willing to take care of her two siblings, but he will not allow her uncle to take them back to a foreign family.
So when her uncle persuaded her to agree to the marriage, although she was unwilling, in order to avoid her grandmother and uncle worrying about her, she still did not refuse.
Tinger knew very well that in her heart, it was impossible to accommodate the rest of the men.
With the passage of time, some memories are not only not thin, but more and more profound, she can't forget the gentle and affectionate man who once been, she can't even stop imagining, if that accident hadn't happened, how happy they would have been at this time, she was only a stone's throw away from such a beautiful life, but the end of the world was a sigh away.
If she could, she would rather be alone all her life, because there was no one else in the world who could replace him, and she would not marry against her will, and she would not be happy.
But she can't be so willful, she can't watch her elders and family members grieve for her, and just want to be peaceful.
The person my uncle said was Huo Yiling's youngest son, and he didn't have much flaw except for the shortcoming of not knowing how to be motivated.
And the reason why Huo Yiling is willing to accept her as a daughter-in-law is because she is also from a family, and she doesn't know that she has the fate of "Kesha" - this is repeatedly emphasized by her uncle, in order to make her understand that although this marriage is not as good as the Yu family, it is also rare for her current situation.
Sometimes Ting Er will also have a little thought, if she marries Huo Yiling's son, her uncle will also get a lot of benefits, right? After all, Huo Yi Ling is a local parent official, and for Huo Yi businessmen, he is naturally a noble person who must be stammered.
But in turn, she would be ashamed of her thoughts, and her uncle was thinking about her, but she doubted his motives.
What really made Ting and vigilant was the attitude of her father Liu Dongye.
Since that Wannian county lord Bo, the father has not been appointed so far, so he returned to his ancestral hometown and has been in Huoyi.
She is the daughter of the Liu family, if she is in Chang'an, although the marriage can be decided by Mrs. Tai, but in Huoyi, of course, the father needs to come forward, and Huo Yiling will not admit his uncle's words.
After many events, of course, Ting knew that her father would no longer have any affection for her, Liu Wan became Lu Rui's concubine because of her calculations, Lu Rui was now beaten by the King of Jin, and her life would not be easy, her father and mother would hate her to the core, how could she be allowed to "climb" Huo Yiling smoothly?
As long as the father and mother of the world will "fight her life", this marriage will definitely fail.
However, to Ting's surprise, the father and mother of the world were particularly tolerant this time, and the gift of asking for names and Najib turned out to be extremely smooth.
The more she felt worried, she finally planned to ask Mrs. Tai to arrange for her to take care of the steward in Huoyi, and to check whether the son of Huoyi Ling still had any ulterior flaws.
The result shocked Ting!
It turned out that Huo Yiling's son had not appeared in front of people for a long time, and the steward wasted a lot of scheming to buy the doctor who Huo Yiling was familiar with, and was shocked to hear that his son actually had sores and poisons.
This is not an ordinary sore, the doctor claims that Huo Yiling's son once frequently stayed in the hook bar prostitute, and the prostitute he was familiar with died because of the sores and poison of the whole body rotted, Huo Yiling's son also had the same symptoms, but because of the timely diagnosis and treatment, it has not deteriorated, but it can not be cured, at most two years of life, Huo Yiling obviously wants to leave an heir for his son before he dies of illness, so as not to have no successor to his son, and he didn't think about finding a family lady who is the right family, but asked a friend to find a commoner-born daughter for him, Ting's uncle, It is one of Huo Yiling's acquaintances.
And according to the doctor's claim, this kind of sores is not only incurable, but also infects people!
The truth is for Tinger, which can be described as five thunderbolts.
She finally knew why her father would be happy to see it, and although it was hard to believe, she had already concluded that her uncle must not be hiding it in the dark.
It was even for such a family affair that my uncle made up his mind to take her back to Huoyi.
The elder who used to be kind and loving, it turned out to be such a sinister heart, and I don't know if she didn't recognize her uncle's hideous face from the beginning, or because of the passage of time and the gradual increase in greed, people's hearts have changed.
It doesn't matter anymore.
She didn't confront her uncle, she chose not to say goodbye.
When she left Huoyi, she thought that except for Qian'er, she really had no blood relatives, and she returned with a beautiful vision, but she left in despair and despair.
Sometimes she wonders what she did wrong, why do her loved ones calculate her so viciously?
Sometimes she will be relieved, after all, Mrs. Tai and other relatives are truly fond of her, and she once had such a gentle and considerate lover, who was devoted to her, and seemed to have nothing to pity herself, compared to many people in this world, she was also lucky.
After all, there is no need to worry about food and clothing, after all, it is possible to get rid of bad luck so easily.
At this time, Tinger let out a long sigh, retracted her gaze, and focused on the work in her hand again.
"Sister!" Liu Qian came in at this time, originally smiling, but when he saw the clothes in Ting's hand, his face sank: "Why is Sister doing this servant again?" Sister really doesn't care about what people say? ”
Ting calmly looked at his annoyed younger brother, and frowned slightly: "The food in your mouth and the clothes on your body over the years have been given to your relatives, I just do what I can to repay the kindness of containment, why do I need to care about what people say?" ”
"The younger brother of the Jingzhao clan does not dare to forget it, and he will repay it in the future, but he doesn't want Sister A to do this servant thing."
"Brother not only understands the retribution of kindness, but also understands that Sister Ah is indebted and uneasy, if she doesn't even act within her ability, she really has no shame to take care of her parents."
Liu Qian couldn't convince his sister, but he was not reconciled, and he was still thinking about his rhetoric, but he heard "Sister Ting" again.
Eleven Niang entered with a smile and greeted each other politely.
Tinger and Liu Qian hurriedly returned the salute, and Tinger smiled and said, "The eleventh sister is back?" The ninth sister was still chattering yesterday, worried that the Queen Mother would not be allowed to take a vacation. ”
After a salute, Eleven Niang sat down: "I just heard Sister Ting arguing with Eighth Brother outside the curtain, I didn't mean to, don't blame it." ”
Thinking that those words were heard by Eleven Niang, Liu Qian was a little uncomfortable, but Ting was still calm: "It's Brother Qian's recklessness, Eleventh Sister didn't mean to, what's the matter?" ”
Shi Niang smiled and said: "If Sister Ting feels like this, she can feel at ease, and she doesn't need to care about people's words, just don't be too tired, otherwise the eldest mother and mother will be overwhelmed." ”
Although Eleven Niang heard about Ting's experience in the past year from the mouth of Mrs. Tai, she was also very embarrassed for her, but she did not intend to persuade Ting's change of heart, she understood Ting's mood very well, not because of the marriage did not go well to be disheartened, in fact, it is because of the unforgettable old people, if even if you get the right marriage, Ting is still depressed, and even will feel guilty about Yu Shilang, it is better to respect Ting's own decision, after all, in this world, it is not to marry and have children to be happy, some regrets, It's not even that you can compensate for it by getting married and having children.
She came this time to discuss Liu Qian's matter with Tinger.
"Over the years, the father and Aya have to be busy with government affairs, and the eighth brother has to send it to study ethnography, the eighth brother is fifteen years old, and he already has some foundation in history and literature. Xiao Jiu has decided to take the exam this fall, but Liu Qian started later and his talent is not as good as Xiao Jiu, so of course he will not be successful in the exam at this time, so Eleven Niang thinks that it is better to go out to study, one can increase his knowledge, and the other is also expected to be taught by famous teachers, which will be helpful for the future future.
Ting's sister and brother both had a light in their eyes, but Tinger had another worry, she was worried that her younger brother was out alone, but she was a boudoir daughter, not only did not help her, but it might also cause a burden, because the major academies would not allow women to stay, but if she lived alone, Liu Qian would definitely not be at ease.
Eleven Niang also knew what Ting was worried about, and she had to be thoughtful about her: "The fourth brother-in-law joined the army when he was the secretary of Yuezhou, and the fourth sister also followed him in office, and it happened that two of the nephews of the sixth brother Xue planned to go to Jiangnan to study, and the eighth brother could accompany them, and when they arrived in Yuezhou, there were four sisters and four brothers-in-law to take care of them, and Sister Ting did not have to worry about the eighth brother's food, clothing, housing and transportation." ”
Liu Qian couldn't help but get up and salute with joy, and thanked Shi Niang for thinking about him.
Ting was naturally grateful, and silently took Eleven Niang's hand, but the words of thanks, but I didn't know where to start for a while.
