Chapter 18 Mother's Kindness and Filial Piety
Zhixue wondered, "What about the Fire Dancing Girl, why did you tell me to follow?"
Purple Shadow thought for a moment and replied, "My mother doesn't like her. After saying that, he strode forward, and Zhixue hugged the heavy wooden box and hurriedly followed. But he didn't want the purple shadow in front of him to stop suddenly, and Zhixue hit his back headlong.
"Childe ......"
Ziying turned around and looked her up and down, "You look like this...... her hair was slightly messy, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and there was dust left over from the exercises. How can she see people like this?
"You go and freshen up, my mother has a habit of cleanliness. Ziying led Zhixue to a side room, and he looked at Zhixue standing there at a loss, frowning slightly.
To be honest, Oriyuki doesn't know how to comb her hair, especially the complex bun like Fire Dance, which is beautiful but cumbersome. She thinks it's good for a man to tie up a crown. So in Ziying's puzzled eyes, she slowly tied up her hair, revealing her white neck.
Purple Shadow sat on a chair and looked at her back, her eyes gradually empty, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhixue always felt that in front of Ziying, she looked a little clumsy a little more. I didn't have much contact with him, but I always felt that he wasn't a very unreasonable person, and she had an inexplicable good impression of him in her heart, and she cautiously held the wooden box and followed Ziying to a large hall.
"The second son is here. A group of slaves hurriedly saluted.
In the main hall, Zi Youlan was kneeling in front of the statue of Nuwa and closing her eyes and reciting the scriptures, and when she heard the movement, she opened her eyes and was helped up by the maidservant beside her. Dressed in a jujube red ground-pulling robe, a few clouds embroidered with silk threads on the placket, although not gorgeous, but solemn. The jet-black hair was combed into a phoenix bun, with a jade hairpin pinned to it, and two peony flower stickers, and the dress was very simple. Her face was graceful, and her voice was as gentle as water, "The shadow is back!"
"Say hello to my mother, many things have happened recently, and I am free today, please forgive my mother. Ziying was very filial and bowed, and Zhixue was dumbfounded, and she couldn't see that this playboy was very attentive to his mother.
"Shadow doesn't have to make this big gift! Zi Youlan smiled and nodded.
"My mother is a first-class lady, and this gift is indispensable. Don't be listened to by others, and give me the charge of not being respectful and not knowing the number of etiquette, but you have wronged me. Zi Ying was helped up by Zi Youlan, with a smile on her face.
At this time, another person walked in from outside the hall, "This kid will be poor, and even I can't talk about him." Sheng Er greets her mother!" After speaking, it is also a proper kneeling ceremony. This man's facial features are delicate, his eyebrows and eyes are full of gentleness, and there is a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which is five or six points similar to Ziying.
"Sheng Er is also here, hurry up. Zi Youlan hurriedly ran over to help Zi Sheng who was saluting, and held his hand, her eyes were full of joy that could not be concealed, and this joy made Zi Ying's heart a little depressed.
"Come and sit, the citrus sent by Concubine Jing a few days ago is very fresh! Xianglian go and get it, and then soak in the pot of Biluochun. Zi Youlan commanded. Ziying's expression dimmed a little, he didn't like to drink Biluochun, but this tea was the eldest brother's favorite.
The three of them sat down around the rosewood round table, and Xianglian quickly brought the cleaned citrus and a pot of Biluochun with a faint fragrance.
"Big brother is busy with things and works a lot. Zi Ying peeled off a citrus fruit, revealing the plump flesh, and handed it to Zi Sheng with a flattering look.
Zi Sheng took the citrus and handed it to Zi Youlan, "You say good things, and you want to please me, so that you can be at ease and eat, drink and have fun every day, right?"
"Big brother is wise!I'm just an idle person, and I'm really not as good as you when it comes to family affairs, and I ask big brother to do it!" Ziying's temperament is really lazy, if he really lets him manage the affairs of the entire family, shop business, I'm afraid it will only add to the chaos.
Zi Sheng glanced at Zhixue, who was holding the wooden box and her arms trembling slightly, and saw that she was well-behaved and lovely, but she was faceless. He asked, "What gifts did you bring for your mother?"
Purple Shadow then motioned to Weaver Snow to bring the wooden box up. "This is the pearl I specially ordered someone to go to the deep lake of the Peach Blossom River to catch it. I heard that the freshwater pearls raised in the deep water lake are ground into powder, which not only nourishes the skin, but also nourishes the eyes. As he spoke, he opened the wooden box, which contained dozens of pearls the size of pigeon eggs, with a round luster.
Zi Youlan looked at the pearl and said, "Ying'er has a heart! Your sister-in-law was sick a few days ago and couldn't sleep at night, so she just took some medicine for her." ”
"What's wrong with sister-in-law?" asked Purple Shadow.
Zisheng took over, "The day before yesterday, I invited a doctor to come over and say that she was pregnant again, and I was looking forward to her giving birth to a daughter for me, you know, Jing'er is really naughty." ”
Zi Youlan was also full of smiles, "Jing'er is up to you, you were also naughty when you were a child! It's good to grow up! Ying'er was well-behaved when she was a child, but he is all this age, and it doesn't worry me the same." If you give birth to a daughter, maybe you will follow Ah Yu!"
Zi Ying also laughed with her, "Giving birth to a daughter will definitely be as gentle and virtuous as a sister-in-law!" Zi Youlan also nodded again and again, suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said: "Sheng'er, you quickly give some of this citrus to Ah Yu, Xianglian said that she has severe morning sickness, and she hasn't eaten well for several days, this citrus sweet and sour should suit her appetite." ”
"I'm going, I'm going. Zisheng looked like he was a father and trotted out all the way.
After Zi Sheng left, Zi Youlan took a sip of tea and said lightly, "The family is a big business, how can I support it without a son and a half daughter, but it will be hard for Ah Yu." She glanced at Zhixue and continued, "I look at this girl quite peugeot, you can bring it to me, it must be very pleasing to you, right?"
Zhixue was stunned for a moment, and there were inexplicable ripples in her heart, ...... please him?
Ziying looked at his well-behaved appearance with low eyebrows, and he couldn't say how comfortable he was, just smiled and didn't speak.
Seeing Zi Ying smiling and not answering, Zi Youlan continued, "Alas...... If you really like the fire dance, take it as a concubine, her identity can't be the right one. My mother won't embarrass you, but I hope you don't embarrass me either. ”
Zi Youlan made such a regression, and her heart was tormented for a long time. Since the age of thirteen, Purple Shadow has been surrounded by a girl named Fire Dance, and she only later learned that Fire Dance is a charm. How could a charm with no feelings and no heart be the young lady of her purple clan? However, after ten years of getting along day and night, the people around Ziying have always been fire dancers. It's not worrying!
In the past, there was also a girl in Hualou who was entangled with Ziying, and she used forced marriage to test Ziying's tone, but Ziying was blunt and resolutely refused to marry. She also felt that it was unseemly for the girl in the flower building to take it out, so she simply ignored it and went with him.
Seeing that Zisheng's eldest son had already gone to private school, Ziying had never mentioned the matter of marriage, and she was also anxious. The family is big, and the blessings of the children and grandchildren are, of course, the more the better.
