Chapter 87

Shen, Li Qinyuan's late mother, lived in a courtyard called jinguiyuan. Although she had been dead for six years, the layout of the courtyard was the same as before. In the past, a woman in her thirties was sweeping the courtyard.

Seeing him coming, the woman quickly put down her work and asked for a big greeting. Her tone was undisguised concern, "how can you come here because of the heavy snow?"

The woman's name is Su Xiu. She is Shen's maid.

Shen was kind and didn't want these old servants who had been with her since childhood to be trapped in the house all their lives. Before she went, she gave them all the deeds of selling themselves. If she had a family to rely on, she would take a pen of silver home. If she didn't have a family, she could also take a pen of silver, whether it was a small business or for her own use.

After all, all she could think of was arranged for them.

After so many years, only Su Xiu has survived. She has married a man, but her life is not good. Her husband was killed by bandits. She has no children and no children. Two old people in her family have died, and there is no place to go. She simply stays in the mansion.

Daily for their old master wipe tablets, cleaning the house.

"I've come to see my mother." Every time Li Qinyuan came back here, he felt a little depressed, especially today when talking about old things. He handed Su Xiu the umbrella in his hand, and then went in alone.

Su Xiu knew that he liked quietness, so she didn't dare to disturb him. She only called a little servant girl to prepare some tea.

If necessary, send it in.

After waiting for someone to go out, she took the umbrella that Li Qin had handed her from afar. Looking at the closed door, she could not help sighing.

......

In the house.

Because people clean it every day, this room, which has not been lived in for many years, is still popular. When Li Qinyuan stepped in, he untied his cloak and put it on the shelf beside the door.

The fruits and melons on the table are fresh, and a Xiangfei couch not far away has been cleaned up. There is a guiding pillow embroidered with Begonia, which is my mother's favorite in the old days.

Next to the tea table, there is an embroidery basket, which is piled with a lot of rags.

On the other side, near the window of Dongxuan, there was an embroidery frame, on which was an unfinished picture of Guanyin before his mother died.

Even in front of the dressing table, there is a white jade flower comb that she often uses.

Li Qinyuan looked at it as like as two peas in the room. The arrangement was exactly the same as when his mother was in it. Sometimes, he would suddenly feel that his mother might not have left.

She will still rely on the soft couch, rely on the pillow embroidered needlework, see him will raise the gentle eyebrows with him smile, "seven Lang came."

But in the end——

It's just his delusion.

Even if the layout here is the same as before, the people who left still left.

Li Qinyuan dropped his eyelashes and didn't speak. He planned to change a pair of soft soled shoes so as not to make the room clean.

There are always his shoes here. Although he seldom comes back, he always comes to his mother's side to sit for a long time. Just as he is about to bend down to get them, his eyes scan to see that there is still a pair of shoes, which is bigger than his.

After all, he didn't say or do anything, as if he didn't see it. He took his shoes and put them on and went in.

It's the same as before.

Li Qinyuan first took a piece of pear flower fragrance that his mother used to like and put it into the twig twig peony green leaf smoke stove. Then he washed his hands and went to the place where the memorial tablet was worshipped. He took three sticks of incense from the incense clip and put them into the incense stove.

Three strokes of smoke curled up, and he looked at the black primed gold tablet.

The tablet says "wife Shen's day and night". Li Qinyuan always thinks her mother's name is not good, just like she left before she lived to the most brilliant time in her life, but she likes it very much... He still remembers that when he was very young, his mother hugged him and talked about the situation when she met that person.

If the daughter who hasn't been out of the cabinet asks for marriage, she will go to a peach blossom villa in the suburb, ask for a peach blossom sign there, write her name at the bottom, and throw it on the most blooming peach tree.

Mother would be pulled by others. When she was in the boudoir, she was gentle and had no opinion. She felt that marriage was to obey her parents' arrangement.

I was dragged by my friend and bought a peach blossom stick for her.

She had no choice but to write her own name, and then decided to find a quiet peach tree to throw.

Who would have thought that she didn't throw it to the tree, but she threw it out of the wall. Her name was still written on the sign. How could it be seen by outsiders? In a hurry, he found the man.

Li Qinyuan still remembers that his mother told him.

-"At that time, your father was dressed in green clothes, with jade around his waist, and his face was like a crown of jade. It was no different from those young men who were going on outings. But when he looked up at me, the narrow Phoenix eyes were like the wind and sand hanging over the great wall, which made me hold my breath at once."

-"He didn't ask me anything. Seeing my red face, he gave me the flower sign in his hand, and then led the squires away."

-"I have no idea since I was a child. My parents always say what they say. But that time, I sincerely wanted to marry someone and marry him."

Mother also said, "I know that he is a good soldier, and that he has been out for most of the year, but as far as I'm concerned, as long as it's him, it's just day and night."

Memories come to an abrupt end.

Li Qinyuan's thin lips still did not loosen. He still looked at the tablet without blinking. After half a sound, he opened his mouth. His voice was a little hoarse, especially in the world where the cigarette curls, with a sense of ethereal, "mother, I've come back to see you."

"I'm fine."

Like chatting with others, he said very slowly, "I have a good meal and sleep. No matter how busy I am, I won't be hungry. You don't have to worry about me."

"I also met a girl --"

Thinking of Gu Wuyou, Li Qinyuan's pale face just showed a light smile, and even her cold eyes warmed up. "She is a very good girl, gentle, considerate, and caring for me. Although sometimes she is a little coquettish, she is the best girl I have ever seen."

"If you were still there, you would like her."

"... if only you were still there," he said, his eyes slightly red and his voice a little lower. "

*

Su Xiu has already finished cleaning.

She was waiting in the corridor. Even though the wind was blowing, she still heard some repressive cries, like the vague low roar of a cub who witnessed her mother's death, just like when her wife went.

As she listened, her eyes turned red.

I don't know how long it took for her to hear footsteps coming from far and near.

Su Xiu quickly wiped away the tears on her face. When she was waiting for someone to push the door out, she asked for a gift. Then she said in a soft voice, "I've prepared some tea and cakes you used to like. Would you like to use some?"

"No more."

Li Qinyuan shook his head, probably because of crying. His voice became more hoarse. When he took the umbrella from someone's hand, he asked, "is the banquet over?"

Su Xiu was stunned, waiting for the reaction to come back and said, "it's over, and the guests are back."

Li Qinyuan nodded and didn't say anything. Just before he left, he said, "it's cold and windy. You should also pay attention to your health. You're the only old man around your mother."

Only one sentence, let Su Xiu red eyes.

Since his wife left, the seventh young master has become a different person. The child who used to laugh and make trouble has become more and more silent. She feels uncomfortable, but she doesn't dare to say anything more. Now after listening to such a concerned sentence, she finally finds it hard to bear, choking: "I'll save you."

"The old lady and the Marquis treat the slave well. They don't let the slave suffer."

"These years, slave also followed others like, recognized a dry daughter, now also do some sweeping work in the wife's side, named Xi'er, is a clever child."

"But you --"

Su Xiu red eyes, said: "a person outside have been cold and hungry?"? Otherwise... "She hesitated for a moment," you'd better go back to live in the house, slaves can take care of you. "

Li Qinyuan said with a smile, "I'm so old. Where do I need to be taken care of?" Seeing that Su Xiu had to say more, he said with a smile, "well, you go to have a rest. I'll go to see my grandmother, and it's time to go."

"Still going today?" Su Xiu followed people out of the yard, advised, "so big snow, or stay at home for a night."

"No Li Qinyuan said, "there will be an exam in a few days. I have to go back to review." Seeing that she wanted to see her off again, he stopped and said, "go in."

He had a firm attitude, and Su Xiu couldn't say anything more. She just looked at his face, which was quite similar to that of Guo Gong. She pursed her lips and whispered, "since he came back, he would come to sit for a while every day."

When Li Qinyuan heard this, he tightened his hand holding the handle of the umbrella and pursed his thin lips.

"Actually..."

Before he finished, he was interrupted, "it's time for me to see my grandmother. Please go in." Li Qinyuan did not wait for him to return, but walked out.

Su Xiu looked at his back, his mouth was still slightly open.

When Xi'er came to look for her and asked her "what's wrong", she shook her head and sighed. I don't know when I can untie this knot.

"Go back." She held her hand and said, "it's time for me to recite scriptures to my wife."

*

Shouan hall is where old lady Li lives.

The guest left long ago. She, the eldest of all ages, was tired after a long time. She was thinking of going inside to have a rest. Then she heard that someone came outside and said, "the seventh young master is coming."

As soon as she heard this, her tired face suddenly disappeared. She was invited in and asked to buy tea and cakes.

When Li Qinyuan untied his cloak and came in, all the things had already been bought. Old lady Li sat on the Luohan bed. When she saw him coming in, she waved to others and said with a smile, "you just asked me to come here, but you wouldn't come."

"Now how do you know it's coming?"

She said just now when the ladies were there.

At Mrs. Li's age, apart from family harmony and the health of her grandchildren, what she hopes for is to find a good daughter-in-law for her grandson, so that he can have a close friend with him. She will not wait for her to go. She is alone, but her grandson refuses to attend any banquet at ordinary times, so she will come back on her birthday.

But when you come back, you can avoid it.

I used to cheat people when I was young. Now I'm smart. Where can I cheat?

Li Qinyuan's mood has almost been cleared up, at least it won't let people see that he is in a bad mood, so he is very strange. Even his grandmother, who has been watching him grow up, can't find out his hidden mood. How can that little girl find out his mood so accurately?

It's just a trance.

After receiving the gifts from the servant girls and old ladies, he sat down next to Mr. Li, took an orange and peeled it. He said casually, "so many girls and ladies are here. What do I look like when I come here?"

"You child, you know what I'm talking about." Mrs. Li patted the back of his hand helplessly and said angrily, "you are sixteen this year. You don't want to get married so early. It's time to look at each other."

"I see that the girls who come here today are all good, especially the girl of the Yang family. She is gentle and gentle, and she is generous and decent."

"Li's child is not bad either. You played with her when you were a child."

"... grandmother."

Li Qinyuan's tone was long and helpless. As soon as he wanted to speak, he saw the piece of dark red embroidered jewel on her forehead. When he thought of what the little girl had said to him just now, his eyes also bent a little.

"What are you looking at?"

Old lady Li followed his eyes and stroked her forehead. When her fingertips touched the forehead, she also laughed, "this forehead was given to me by the five girls in Dingguo mansion."

"Today, her grandmother took her to this trip in person, saying that she was grateful to you for saving Xiaowu and Xiaojiu."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help frowning and said: "I don't know who sent the news that Leping was arrogant and domineering. I'm looking at it today, but it's really a good child. It's not a sign, but it's also a smile. That pair of natural smile eyes make people feel good."

Mrs. Li is a short guard.

I like that little girl in my heart, so I can't see anyone else saying that she is not good. Thinking of the rumors spread outside, she gets angry. "A good girl, I don't know who is so bad hearted, and all those rumors are spread out."

Then he sighed: "I don't know which family will be lucky enough to marry her home."

Li Qinyuan didn't expect that his grandmother would suddenly mention the little girl's marriage. He coughed softly. Which family, your grandson

But he's embarrassed to mention that now.

Old lady Li had to talk to him. Seeing what he looked like, she said with concern, "what's the matter? Is it frozen? "

"No

Li Qinyuan cleared his throat, shook his head and handed her the orange in his hand. "It's too hot in the room, and his throat is itchy."

Old lady Li then said, "then you can drink more water." He also told the people around him, "go and remove a few pots of charcoal."

As soon as the servant girl was about to answer "yes", she was stopped by Li Qinyuan. "It's OK. I'll be fine later. What did you say just now?"

"Just now?"

Mrs. Li was so interrupted that she didn't talk about the charcoal fire. After thinking about it, she thought of what she had to say and said with a smile, "I think of the full moon meeting in Leping, and your mother went to see her with you."

Li Qinyuan was stunned and obviously didn't know about it.

"You're still young. How can you remember that?" Mrs. Li, seeing his slightly stunned look, said with a smile, "you just knew how to speak at that time. When I took you with your mother, your parents didn't shout clearly, but they would call your sister."

"Looking at Xiao Leping, I went to grab her hand. After making people cry, you also cried, but you made all of us laugh."

Speaking of these old things, Mr. Li's face was as smiling as if he couldn't come down. Seeing his grandson, who didn't care about anything, he was still in a daze, so he happily talked about another thing, "and the year of Leping's third birthday, you had to go with your mother. When you got there, you said you wanted to marry Leping."

"Oh, yes..."

She suddenly said, "you even gave her a kiss."

This time, Li Qinyuan stood up and stammered, "what, what? Me, and I kissed her? "

Mrs. Li didn't expect that he would react so much. She laughed for a long time and then went to hold his hand. She said angrily, "it's all about childhood. What's your hurry? Your mother has a good relationship with Leping's mother. Before Leping was born, they really wanted to have a baby kiss. "

"Unfortunately..."

Thinking of Wang's ending, she couldn't help sighing. These happy old memories became silent for a while. After a long time, she said in a low voice: "the child of Leping is also poor. She lost her mother when she was young. Although her stepmother was good, she was separated by a layer of belly."

"I just hope that she can marry a husband who knows the cold and the hot in the future, and love her well, so as not to make the little girl's life so difficult."

Li Qinyuan thought of the little girl's life experience, thought of what she said to him today, and then became silent. After half a sound, he said softly, "yes."
