Yu Xi Extra Story (25)
It was dawn, and Feng Xiaohan got up. There is no way, if I don't get up early to cook, I will be hungry again later.
The woman taught her how to cook, and she stopped doing it after ten days of teaching. She had been hungry for a whole day, and her limbs became weak and dizzy. After struggling to get into the kitchen, he grabbed a cucumber and ate it.
While eating, while crying. After eating that cucumber, I started cooking by myself. The first time I cooked rice, the rice was half cooked. But in the face of hunger, poverty is not so important.
From the next day, she got up early every day to cook and wash clothes, and she didn't dare to be lazy anymore.
After persisting for five days, Feng Xiaohan realized that it was actually not that difficult. But after three meals a day, it is boring to stay alone in the yard. She took a branch and dipped it in water to practice calligraphy.
It wasn't until the end of March that the person she wanted to see was finally ushered in the yard.
Standing in front of Zao Zao, Feng Xiaohan said cautiously: "Grandmother." Ever since she was a child, she has never suffered like this.
Zao Zao nodded and walked into the room. Feng Xiaohan also followed in.
After sitting down, Zao Zao said: "During this time, I have performed fairly well." Although he was forced to do nothing, at least he did not sit and wait to die.
If Feng Xiaohan went on a hunger strike and waited to die like she heard at the beginning, she would definitely take a whip and beat him up.
She has been praised by many people since she was a child, even her great-grandmother praised her for being smart and beautiful. But every time Zaozao sees her, she always has a straight face, basically never giving her a good look. Praise is also unprecedented.
"Staying in the yard during this time, what do you think?" A person may be thinking wildly, or he may be reflecting on himself. .
Feng Xiaohan lowered her head and said, "Aunt and grandma, washing and cooking are not easy tasks. If I go to the fields to farm, I will definitely not be able to keep it." She said this because she heard that Brother Pong was forced to leave Zhuangzi started farming.
"anything else?"
Seeing that Feng Xiaohan didn't speak, Zao Zao said: "Do you think it's worth living and dying for a man?"
Hearing this, Feng Xiaohan burst into tears again.
Seeing Feng Xiaohan's pear blossoms covered with rain, Zao Zao shook his head slightly. This aunt and granddaughter is very beautiful and talented, but it is a pity that she has not experienced any hardship since she was a child, just like a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse, unable to withstand the wind and rain. Fortunately, this time, she felt that Feng Xiaohan was not so hopeless.
Zao Zao said: "How can people love you if you don't love yourself. Feng Xiaohan, how can you make people love you if you don't even take your own life seriously."
Feng Xiaohan's heart hurts every time he thinks of Hong Lang. Even now, it's the same: "Grandmother, I want to forget her too, but I can't control myself." After speaking, tears fell again.
Seeing her like this, Zao Zao shook her head: "No man can tolerate his wife having other men in her heart. As far as you are now, marrying is also harming others and yourself."
She didn't even know what the other person looked like, so how could she care what the other person thought.
Looking at Feng Xiaohan's appearance, Zaozao knew what she was thinking: "If you don't take Luo Yong to heart, you don't care what he thinks. Can you have a child later? Let the child grow up in such an environment, you don't want Do you feel selfish?"
Feng Xiaohan's lips twitched, but in the end he still didn't say what was in his heart.
If you want to tell Zao Zao, with Feng Xiaohan's appearance, she shouldn't be married at all. It's just that she knew that Liu'er and Feng Xiaohan's mother would not agree: "I think your grandmother and mother have told you a lot about the truth, and I don't bother. It's just that you follow their words and plan to marry, then After you get married, you must do your duty as a wife. After becoming a mother, you must love and educate your children well, and fulfill your duties as a mother. Keep all the past in your heart!"
After a long time, Feng Xiaohan nodded.
When Liu'er came to pick her up, her eyes turned red when she saw her granddaughter who had lost a lot of weight.
Zao Zao ordered Feng Xiaohan to be taken away, and then said to Liu Er: "After she gets married, let them go outside immediately." If she is far away, her mind may gradually calm down.
Liu Er nodded and said: "It's already arranged, and Luo Yong will be sent to Guangxi in July." That place was chosen by Liu Er. That child is too stubborn, I hope she can slowly turn her mind around if she stays away.
Seeing that Liu'er had already made plans, Zao Zao said no more: "I'm going to Jiangnan tomorrow." Everything was packed, and we will start tomorrow morning.
"I have prepared some things for my mother, please help me take them to my mother!" Liu'er actually wanted to go to Jiangnan, but she couldn't leave due to too many family matters.
Zao Zao laughed: "Forget about things, we are going on a trip, and it is a burden to bring so many things." It is no problem to bring letters, things are really unnecessary. In a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, what is lacking can be bought with money.
When going back, Liu'er hugged Feng Xiaohan and said, "During this time, you have suffered."
Feng Xiaohan was very wronged and couldn't forget Hong Lang, but this time also made her understand a truth. Without the protection of her family, she is nothing. If she doesn't change and is abandoned by the family, she is afraid that the end will be miserable. "Grandmother, I know that you and mother are doing it for my own good."
Liu Er was very pleased. The suffering of this pause and time is not in vain.
At night, Changsheng still tried to persuade Zaozao: "Mother, I have nothing to do at home anyway, so let me go to Jiangnan with you!"
After finally staying at home to observe filial piety for three years, I thought I could be a good filial piety, but Zaozao ended up going to the south of the Yangtze River. For more than half a year, mother and son have not seen each other again.
Zao Zao said impatiently: "I have said many times that you don't need to follow, why the older you get, the more tired you become."
People who are all 70 years old, now go to Jiangnan alone, how can Changsheng not worry. It's just that he didn't dare to say this directly, for fear that Zao Zao would lose his temper again: "Mother, my grandmother is getting old, so I don't worry."
Zao Zao said angrily, "Your uncle and I are here, so don't worry."
His uncle is sixty-four this year, and he still needs someone to take care of him. How can he take care of his grandmother and his mother.
Seeing that Chang Sheng wanted to say more, Zao Zao said: "I'm tired, I'm going to rest, you go back!"
Seeing her husband's frowning, Yin knew what he was upset about: "You don't know what mother's temper is? Why make her unhappy!" After more than 30 years of marriage, Zao Zao treated her like her own daughter. So in Yin's heart, Zao Zao is no different from his own mother.
"People who are all seventy years old are still so strong." He has no objection to Zao Zao going to the south of the Yangtze River to find Yu Xi, and it's good to go out for a walk to relax. But the problem is that people who are already seventy years old, how can they go out alone.
Yin smiled and said: "Mother has been strong all her life, and you can expect her to be soft now, do you think it is possible? If you are really worried, let Brother Ping and Fei Fei follow behind."
"Mother knows, don't scold me bloody in the future." His mother doesn't lose her temper easily, but she can scare people to death when she loses her temper. Moreover, as Zao Zao grew older, his temper became stronger.
Yin smiled lightly and said, "Brother Huan brought Fei Fei to find my uncle. Why is mother losing her temper?" There are some things that need to be flexible.
Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled lightly and said, "Why didn't I think of that! Thinking about it, my cousin won't worry about uncle either."
It goes without saying. They are all so old, and there is something so long and two short that they are so far away. It happened that my grandmother was going to the south of the Yangtze River, and even the emperor had no objection, and they dared not stop them as juniors.
"I'm going to find Axu now." Axu was ten years younger than him, but the relationship between the two has always been very good.
When Yun Xu heard the intention, he shook his head and refused: "My father sent a letter saying that we are not allowed to disturb them. If not, I will break my leg when I come back." If it wasn't for Qiyou's threat, he would have asked his son to accompany him to Jiangnan early in the morning .
Why are these elders all in the same tune. They are at ease, but they are worried about the juniors.
Seeing Changsheng's gloomy face, Yun Xu said in relief: "Don't worry, my aunt is always in good health, and nothing will happen. And they will be back by the end of the year." In fact, it is the grandmother who should be worried the most. After all, grandma is almost old.
Yun Xu didn't dare to let Brother Pang and Fei Fei go to the south of the Yangtze River, and Chang Sheng couldn't force him either.
In March of Yangchun, Jiangnan is already very warm. Yuxi moved to Suzhou from Hot Spring Zhuangzi in early March. While waiting for Zao Zao, I visited all the scenic spots in Suzhou and tasted all the local special snacks.
Qiyou and Yuxi said: "Mother, counting the time, eldest sister should be here in two days."
Bingmei half-kneeled on the thick carpet, pinching Yuxi's legs. As a personal female official, she can do everything and can handle it.
Yu Xi smiled and said: "When Zao Zao comes, you take her for a walk, and I will rest for two days." Although she took a carriage when she went out, she also walked a lot, and she was a little tired.
After all, at such an old age, my resilience is not as good as before.
Qiyou thumped his leg and said, "Mom, my leg hurts a little, let third brother accompany me!"
Qi Xuan suddenly showed a bitter face. The person he fears the most, besides his parents, is Zao Zao. There is no way, Zao Zao's force value is too high, and he is afraid of being beaten by her. Of course, it was Keisuke who beat him the most. It's just that Qiyou is not a brave man, he is not afraid of being beaten up, but Qixuan has cast a shadow. Even at such a great age, he dare not say a word in front of Zao Zao.
Seeing the appearance of the two brothers, Yu Xi laughed: "When Zao Zao comes, you can accompany her to stroll around Suzhou City." Compared with looking at the garden, eating is more attractive to Zao Zao.
After resting for two days, Zao Zao hasn't arrived yet.
Yu Xi said: "Let's go for a walk in the street today!"
The embroidery on the street is dazzling. Entering the largest embroidery shop on the street, Yuxi looked at each piece of exquisite embroidery with great interest.
Qiyou said to the shopkeeper, "Bring out the best embroidery in your shop."
The shopkeeper glanced at Qiyou and Qixuan, then at the silver-haired Yuxi, and took out the treasure of the shop "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" without saying a word.
King You and King Xuan accompanied the Queen Mother to play in Suzhou, and everyone with good news knew about it. And Yuxi is very recognizable because of her conspicuous silver hair.
As soon as the things were taken out, Qixuan was attracted by the embroidery. It's really, really beautiful.
Qiyou wanted to reach out to touch it, but was slapped away by Yuxi: "You have calluses on your hands, you can't touch them." In fact, the embroidery is finished, as long as you don't use force to have calluses, it doesn't matter. It's just that such a beautiful embroidery Yuxi couldn't bear to be destroyed.
Qiyou didn't roll his eyes for a while.
After Qixuan finished admiring it, he asked the shopkeeper, "How much is this embroidery?" Anyway, he would buy whatever it cost. Such good things are hard to come by.
The shopkeeper said: "This "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" embroidery is the treasure of our store."
The treasures of general town stores are not for sale. So upon hearing this, Qi Xuan was disappointed.
However, Qiyou said unhappily: "If you don't sell it, what are you doing with it? Are you using it to make us greedy?"
The big shopkeeper said sincerely: "Others will definitely not sell it if they are old, but if the old lady and the two masters like it, our shop will reluctantly give up."
Zao Zao knew that the shopkeeper must have guessed their identities.
Qiyou asked, "What do you want?" The most important thing he lacked was money.
The big shopkeeper sincerely said that he didn't want money, and wanted to give this embroidery "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" to Yuxi.
Yuxi smiled and said: "I don't need this." Although it is exquisite, she has several more exquisite embroidery than this one.
Qixuan couldn't put it down, and said: "Shopkeeper, please make a price!" He really likes this embroidery. The birds on it are all lifelike, as if they are all alive.
The big shopkeeper couldn't send it out but didn't want to collect money, so after pondering for a while, he wanted Qixuan to keep a pair of calligraphy.
Of course, in fact, he wanted Yuxi's calligraphy more. However, he didn't have the guts. You know, everyone in the world knows that the empress dowager is incomparable, but few people have her calligraphy. In addition, Yuxi's status can no longer be measured by money.
Qi Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay to leave a word, but the money for the embroidery should still be paid as usual."
The shopkeeper was very helpless and could only agree.
Qixuan consulted Yuxi and Qiyou for their opinions: "Mother, brother, what word do you think should be mentioned?"
The two agreed to follow him.
Qixuan looked at this embroidery, thought for a while and wrote down the four characters of "No. 1 Embroidery Village".
Great joy for the shopkeeper. You must know that although their embroidery village is one of the best in the south of the Yangtze River, they dare not claim to be the number one. After all, a strong player has a strong player. But now it's Qixuan's inscription, so it's different. With the title of No. 1 embroidery shop in the south of the Yangtze River, their business will definitely be better.
Qiyou was very speechless, he had opened quite a few shops himself, how could he not know the tricks in it. The third brother's inscription is tantamount to putting gold on this embroidery shop.
Yuxi felt that it was good that Qixuan didn't write No. 1 in the world.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Qixuan asked: "Mother, brother, what's wrong?"
Yuxi smiled and said: "If you add the word 'Suzhou' in front of it, there will be no problem." The first embroidery shop in Suzhou, the controversy is not so big.
The shopkeeper's face twitched.
Qixuan tore up the four words that had been written, and took out a piece of paper to inscribe again.
In the embroidery shop, Yuxi picked out two pieces of double-sided embroidery for Liu'er. She herself didn't fancy anything.
