Chapter 37: The Courtyard Is Deep and Deep (Part II)
With a "boom", Lin Yuchai stood up suddenly from the agarwood chair, took off the Fan Yang felt big hat on his head, stepped forward, and grabbed Luo Xiangzhu's hand.
happily said: "You are really my sister Xiangzhu, you can't be wrong, you can't be wrong at all!" Although my mother didn't tell me about the letter, how can anyone else know about the details you described unless you are close to you? ”
His eyes were full of brilliance, his eyebrows were dancing, he hated to see each other late, hugged Luo Xiangzhu again and again, and even kissed the two of them, not happy if he didn't kiss him.
With such an enthusiastic appearance, whoever comes, they won't believe that she was full of hostility to Luo Xiangzhu before!
Sleepless said in his heart: "It seems that this cousin is just a little reckless, and there is no malicious intent, Miss should be able to live well in this deep mansion compound in the future." ”
While feeling happy for Luo Xiangzhu, he looked out.
Only a wall was seen, and a gray sky.
I don't see the sun today, the sky is gray, as if I have cried, and I am a little depressed.
Tan Jingcheng coughed and said, "Pay attention to your manners, my daughter's family, pulling, pulling, pushing, pushing, ”
Lin Yuchai was unconvinced and said: "Uncle, I was speechless when you talked about me before, but now, I am right. The two of us sisters have never seen each other since they were born, but we have been friends for a long time. See you now, why don't you let us get close? ”
Tan Jingcheng was speechless, so he had to drink tea to relieve his embarrassment.
The two sisters held hands and warmed up for a long time, and they took advantage of this gap to send Qingsong's broken sword back to Chanyi's hand, hugged their fists and said: "The thing will return to its original owner." ”
Chan Yi snorted, took the broken sword, and said, "But it's not a complete return to Zhao!" The sword is broken. ”
Sleepless at night: "Although the sword is broken, the heart of Xiang Wu is not broken, the girl in Chanyi, encourage you!" ”
There was a chat in the hall for a while, and suddenly I heard a maid outside say, "Mrs. Tai is here." The crowd was stunned.
Looking out of the hall without sleep, I saw an old woman with gray hair, wearing a brocade jacket with broken flowers, wearing Buddhist beads around her neck, and holding a yellow pear cane in her hand.
The old woman looked around and said stiffly: "When I was in Anhua two years ago, didn't I swear that I wouldn't see Huangquan in the end?" Why did you come again today, and come to see my old bones again? ”
As soon as these words came out, Sleepless and others were puzzled, and Tan Jingcheng's face changed in an instant.
Hurriedly walked down from the main seat, helped her up, and said, "Mother, what my sister said when she was young, do you still want to take it out to punish Xiangzhu now?" ”
Mrs. Tai paused on her crutches and said, "Two years ago, I was thirty-two years old, what kind of young is my thirties?" At that time, I came back from Anhua and relayed her words to you, you almost went to Anhua to find your good girl, but I stopped you. ”
After looking around, but there was no one in sight, his face became ugly, and he said, "Where are the people, where are the people?" ”
Suddenly saw Luo Xiangzhu, as if seeing a life-saving straw, he hurriedly propped up his crutches, staggered forward, and said in a wailing voice:
"Xiangzhu, my heart's meat, over the years, following your father who values profit over righteousness, and your ungrateful mother, I have embarrassed you!"
The maids were afraid that she would fall, so they hurriedly followed, Luo Xiangzhu took a step ahead, grabbed her hand, cried in a low voice with her head sideways, choked up and could barely speak.
Mrs. Tai said: "What's the matter, my heart, what's wrong with you?" ”
As if he felt something, he looked around again, his expression became panicked, his withered hands were tightly entangled, tears fell, and he shook Luo Xiangzhu and said: "What's wrong, my heart and liver baby, what's wrong, you say it slowly, say it slowly." ”
Luo Xiangzhu stopped crying for a long time, but he still sobbed non-stop, and said with a crying voice: "Grandma, my father and my mother, my father and mother, they left me, left me." ”
"Where did I leave you, where did I leave you?" Mrs. Tai screamed as if she had been hit by five thunderbolts, and her whole person was ten years old in an instant, and her mouth repeated with a mabbled thought: "Where did you go?" Say, where have you gone? ”
She looked at Luo Xiangzhu, her expression suddenly became sluggish, the whites of her eyes invaded, swayed, and she fainted.
Luo Xiangzhu let out a loud cry and grabbed Mrs. Tai tightly, but his own strength was small, and he was almost taken down.
Sleepless at night had already prepared, and stepped forward to support the two of them.
Tan Jingcheng helped his mother from the sleepless hand and went to the back hall to rest.
After that, the other ladies who rushed over and heard about this scene were all in tears.
Luo Xiangzhu has seen them one by one and saluted, but he didn't see Aunt Jinghui.
Lin Yu chased: "My father is now the magistrate of a county under the jurisdiction of Chengdu Prefecture, and my mother has gone to him as a personal staff, and only I am staying in Changsha." ”
Luo Xiangzhu wiped her tears and said: "My mother often said that Aunt Jinghui has a strategy and knowledge, she is a female middle school Zhuge , she is a staff officer in Chengdu, and she is the best for my uncle." ”
If you don't sleep at night, you will remember the rumors in the Zhemei Inn. The heart said: "Chengdu may also be the birthplace of the master, if he is looking for no result in Lushan, Jiangxi, I will go to Chengdu." ”
At this time, there was a commotion outside the hall, and the coquettish voices of several maids could be heard one after another, mixed with a debauched laughter.
Lin Yuchai's face immediately sank, snorted, and said, "The dregs among the men are here." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a rickety man, holding a delicate jade gourd, walking in from the outside, and while walking, he freed his other hand, hooked on the left and touched on the right.
Everywhere they went, the ladies avoided it as if they were a plague, lest they be entangled by it.
Luo Xiangzhu glanced at the man in surprise, and then looked at Lin Yuchai, although she didn't speak, but she couldn't sleep and read what she was thinking, probably "Who is this person, how can there be such a number one person in the good Tan Mansion?" ”
Lin Yu said angrily: "This person is still our elder, and the brother-in-law of our uncle who is good at teaching people, his name is Qian Boning!" ”
Sleepless at night, he said: "This person is Tan Jingcheng's brother-in-law?" Uncle Tan's Confucian demeanor, and her aunt have just seen her, and she is also a good person, why is her younger brother so unbearable? ”
He looked at his aunt Qian, but Qian was looking at Qian Boning dotingly, and his doubts were instantly solved.
Tan Jingcheng walked over from the inner hall and shouted, "Going to drink again?!" grabbed Qian Boning and said, "Today, my niece Xiangzhu is here, and I have to make a mistake!" ”
motioned for Luo Xiangzhu to come and salute the formless man.
Luo Xiangzhu is a person who has seen bandits, and he is not afraid of Qian Boning, but he is resistant and disgusted in his heart, so he just bows slightly from a distance.
Tan Jingcheng nodded, and did not seek full blame.
Qian Boning's drunken eyes swept over Luo Xiangzhu's body, revealing a touch of greed, maybe he had some concerns, and finally took it back.
Sleepless breathed a sigh of relief, and when he raised his eyes again, he saw that this prodigal son was looking straight at him, and a disgusting saliva had already escaped from the corner of his mouth.
