Chapter 100: The Full Moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival
"What about your child?" Yuxi found that the nurse had no descendants by her side, but she said that she had escaped with a young child.
"My child, my child contracted typhoid fever and died on the way to escape. When the nurse said this, she covered her face with a square scarf and sobbed quietly.
Yuxi let out a sigh of pity.
"I didn't have the money to buy a thin coffin for my child, so I buried him under a big tree. Later, I stayed here all the way and met the kind Madam Murong who took me in. ”
The nurse wiped away her tears with a square towel and was sad as crying.
After Mrs. Murong took in the wet nurse, because she was worried that she would be bullied by others, she never told others about the wet nurse's life experience, but only claimed that this was a foreign daughter-in-law who married into the countryside of Yuxu Mountain. Because there was no one at home, I went to the house to do some chores to make a living.
The nurse is very grateful to Mrs. Murong, so since the death of Mrs. Murong, she has been carefully raising the young Yuxi, although Yuxi is the young lady of the Murong family, but the nurse has always regarded it as her own, and there is no place to neglect Yuxi.
Yuxi didn't expect the nurse's life experience to be so miserable, and she felt pity. Yuxi thought that her mother had taken good care of her since she was a child, and there was nothing wrong with her, and she couldn't help but be very grateful.
"Nurse, you are so good to me, as long as I am still here, you will stay in the Murong family to care for the elderly. ”
Yuxi whispered softly to the nurse, she very much hoped that a kind-hearted woman like the nurse could have a good home. Since the nurse has been in Murong's house for so many years, and she is a woman who abides by the rules, it is better to stay until she is supported in the future.
"Yuxi, thank you, you are a good girl, and you will definitely marry a good man in the future. ”
The nurse wiped the corners of her eyes with a square towel and whispered.
Yuxi can say that, she is very content. The wet nurse knew that she had a good owner, and although she was about to grow old now, the owner of the Murong family did not dislike her thoughts, nor did he mention the topic of sending her home.
The nurse knew that she might be homeless after leaving the Murong family, and at best, she could only use the little savings she had accumulated over the years to buy a small thatched hut until she was old.
But the wet nurse was still content, if it wasn't for the lady who took her in, then she didn't know where she would go. After all, now that she has a place to settle down, she can also have no worries about food and clothing.
When the nurse said that Yuxi would marry a good man in the future, a look of worry flashed in Yuxi's eyes, and she turned her gaze to the window and looked at the bright moonlight under the eaves.
The nurse realized that maybe her words had touched Yuxi's heart, and she lowered her eyes and pondered silently.
Suddenly, the nurse seemed to think of something, and she said softly: "Yuxi, in this world, although some things are unsatisfactory, some things are predetermined. As long as you don't give up hope, there may still be hope. Although it is difficult to say about fate, fate depends on heaven, that is, if it is yours, it may be yours in the end. ”
Yu Xi was touched by the nurse's words, but the nurse's words also seemed to tell Yu Xi not to give up her fate with Riich, maybe it seems that there is little hope now, but there will be a day when the clouds will open and the fog will disperse.
You must know that there is an old saying, sometimes there must be a fate, and there must be no chance of a hit. Since God arranged her to Riich's side, then this is fate, as long as you don't give up hope, then there will still be hope.
Yu Xi smiled, she looked at the nurse and said, "Nurse, there may be some truth in what you said. There will always be some unsatisfactory things in this world, and I really hope that those things will one day clear up. Since the swallows under the eaves used to be affectionate and righteous, what about the people in this world? They can't all be people who are greedy for profit and have little affection, right?
The nurse listened to Yuxi's words, and said: "Yuxi, you're right, everything that makes people unhappy will have a time when the clouds will open and the fog will disperse." As for you and Riich, you may only be in trouble for a while. Maybe you'll be together in the future. I still believe in it. ”
Yuxi saw that the nurse talked about her and Richie, and she was sure that they would eventually be together, so Yuxi felt that the nurse was still a very caring person, she knew her troubles, and hoped that she and Richie would eventually have a day when the clouds cleared.
Yuxi stared at the nurse deeply, and then sighed, lamenting the difficulty of the world. Although she is a young lady from a large family, everything is carefree in the eyes of outsiders, but who can know the troubles in the meantime.
Yuxi stood up and said to the nurse, "Nurse, let's go to the town market together." On such a clear night, the moon in the sky is so round, why don't we go outside and have a look. Maybe the streets will be more lively tonight, so why don't we go buy something together and come back. ”
Saying that, Yuxi and the nurse went out of the boudoir together, gently closed the door, and walked into the courtyard.
Yuxi looked up, a bright moon hung high in the night sky, the moonlight sprinkled under the shade of the trees like clear frost, and fell on the ground like silver light covering the ground, and the surrounding brakes were bright and clear.
Yuxi sighed that such a night may be the time for family reunion, and the family may be sitting around the table eating mooncakes at this time. But she was not in the mood to taste the mooncakes on the dinner table at this time, and the melancholy in her stomach had completely dispelled her appetite.
It is better to go to the streets now to dissipate her depressed mood, perhaps the lively atmosphere of the night market can dissipate her depressed mood. With the wet nurse with her, she doesn't have to worry, it might be better to go to the street together to buy something.
Accompanied by the nurse, Yuxi went out of the gate and slowly walked to the street not far away. In the distance, the streets are brightly lit at night, and many pedestrians walk on the streets, and the small traders and vendors on both sides of the road shout their business behind the stalls, hoping that someone will come up and pick up something to buy home.
The teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the road are thriving, and from time to time some well-dressed men and women come and go. Along the way, the lights are bright, and large lanterns hang on the gatehouses everywhere.
It seems that the market on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is quite lively.
Yuxi's curiosity was suddenly aroused by those small merchants and vendors, and she pulled her nurse to stop and watch from time to time in front of some stalls selling small things and rouge, playing with those new things in her hands.
Usually Yuxi doesn't leave the house, but this time she wants to take this opportunity to have a good time, so that she can visit the market in this town, and also take this opportunity to buy some fun gadgets and go back to play.
Anyway, she also brought some silver taels with her, so she might as well take advantage of this to buy something. Yuxi pulled the nurse to look at this and that from time to time, full of interest, like a child, as if everything was new to her.
