Thirty years ago in Shanghai, a night with a moon... Maybe we didn't catch up to see the moon thirty years ago.Young people think that the moon thirty years ago should be a red and yellow halo the size of a copper coin, like a teardrop falling on Duoyunxuan letter paper, old and confused.The moon thirty years ago in the old man's memory was happy, bigger, rounder, and whiter than the moon in front of him; however, looking back after thirty years of hard work, even the best moonlight can't help but feel a little sad. The moonlight shines on the pillow of Feng Xiao, the dowry maid of the newly married Third Grandma in Jiang Mansion.Feng Xiao opened her eyes and took a look, only to see her blue and white hand resting on the half-worn Korean cotton quilt, she thought to herself: "Is it the moonlight?" Feng Xiao slept on the floor under the window.In the past two years, when the dynasty was busy, Jiang's mansion came to Shanghai to avoid the soldiers, and there was not enough room to live in, so this servant room was full of servants sleeping here and there.

Feng Xiao vaguely heard someone behind the big bed. Xiao Shuang took off her shoes, stepped over Feng Xiao barefoot, walked to the window, and said with a smile: "You too, get up and look at the moon." Feng Xiao got up and asked in a low voice: "I have long wanted I'm asking you, your second grandma..." Xiao Shuang bent down and picked up the little jacket and put it on for her, saying: "Take care carefully." Feng Xiao buttoned the button and said with a smile: "No, You have to tell me!" Xiao Shuang said with a smile: "I did not pay attention to what I said, and caused trouble!" Feng Xiao said: "We are all our own family members, why are you so ignorant?" Xiao Shuang said: "Tell you , don’t tell your lady to go! Our second grandma’s family runs a sesame oil shop.” Feng Xiao yelled: “Open a sesame oil shop! Where did you remember it? Like your eldest grandma, who is also a lady of the Duke’s family, Although our one is not as good as the eldest grandma, he is not a humble person—" Xiao Shuang said: "There must be a reason for this. You have seen our second master, and he is disabled. Who is the daughter of an official family? Would you give it to him? The old lady had no choice but to buy an aunt for the second master, and the matchmaker found this Cao family, born in July, called Qiqiao." Feng Xiao said: "Oh, it's my aunt. "Xiao Shuang said: "She used to be an aunt, but later the old lady thought that since she didn't plan to marry another for the second master, it was not a problem that there was no daughter-in-law in the second room, so she simply hired her to be the head grandmother, so that it would be easy to teach She wholeheartedly serves the second master." Feng Xiao put his hands on the window sill, and said in a deep thought: "It's weird! Even though I'm new here, I've seen it for a while." Xiao Shuang said: "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, this There are words. You haven’t heard her talk yet! In front of the girls, there is no taboo at all. Fortunately, our family has always kept secrets inside and out, and the girls don’t understand anything. If they don’t understand, I'm so ashamed that there's nowhere to hide!" Feng Xiao sneered and said, "Really? Where did she hear these village words? Even our girl—" Xiao Shuang crossed her arms and said, "The one from the sesame oil shop Living signs, used to standing at the counter, well-informed, how can we compare with others?" Feng Xiao said: "Are you married by her?" Xiao Shuang sneered and said: "She is also worthy! I am old The people in front of the wife, the second master takes medicine all day long, and he can't move without people. The maids in the room are not enough, so they called me over. What's the matter? Are you cold?" Feng Xiao shook his head.Xiao Shuang said: "Look at your delicate appearance with your neck shrunk!" Before finishing her sentence, Feng Xiao sneezed, Xiao Shuang hurriedly pushed her and said, "Go to sleep! Go to sleep! Hurry up." Feng Xiao knelt He took off his jacket and said with a smile, "It's not winter, where would it be frozen?" Xiao Shuang said, "Don't look at the window is closed, the wind is creaking in the window." The two slept separately. Down.Feng Xiao asked quietly: "It's been four or five years since you've been here?" Xiao Shuang said: "Who?" Feng Xiao said: "Who else?" It's gone." Feng Xiao said: "They also had boys and girls—hasn't there been any talk?" Xiao Shuang said: "Still talking! There are too many talks! The old lady led the whole family up and down to Putuo Mountain to pilgrimage Go, she didn't go during her confinement, so she was left to look after the house. Uncle walked a little more frequently, so he lost a ticket." Feng Xiao was surprised and said, "Didn't find out what happened?" Shuangdao: "What good can you ask? Everyone can't save face! Those jewelry will only belong to the second master and the third master in the future. The grandpa and grandma are in the way of the second master, so there is nothing to say. The third master is pouring water outside It’s like spending money. I owe a lot to the public account, and I can’t say anything.”

The two of them talked a long distance away.Although he lowered his throat as much as possible, there was still a sentence that was a little bit louder, waking up Mammy Zhao who was sleeping on the big bed, and Nanny Zhao called out: "Xiao Shuang." Xiao Shuang dared not agree.Zhao Nanny said: "Xiao Shuang, if you keep talking nonsense, let people hear you, and carefully expose your skin tomorrow!" Xiao Shuang remained silent.Zhao Nanny said again: "Don't think that you still live in the deep courtyard in the past, you can go crazy! Here are people who squeeze your nose and eyes, what can you hide from others? Don't ask for beating before it's too late!" Suddenly there was no sound.Nanny Zhao has bad eyesight, and chrysanthemum leaves are stuffed in the pillow, which is said to cool people's eyes.She bowed her head and pressed the silver hairpin tied horizontally in her bun, and when she turned slightly, the chrysanthemum leaves rustled.Zhao Nanny turned over, and the creaking rattled all the joints in her body, she sighed and said: "What do you know!" Xiao Shuang and Feng Xiao still didn't dare to answer.No one spoke for a long time, and they all fell asleep dimly.It's almost dawn.The flat waning moon, a little lower, a little lower, a little bigger, sank like a red gold washbasin.The sky is cold and the crab shells are green, what is the blackness in the sky, what's on their minds, do you want to smoke this to relieve boredom? "

Dai Zhenlan Xian went upstairs together arm in arm, followed by her personal servant girls, and came to a small sitting room next to the old lady's bedroom.The old lady's girl, Liuxi, came out to greet her, and said in a low voice, "I haven't woken up yet." Taizhen looked up at the wall clock, and said with a smile, "The old lady is late today." Liuxi said, "I said two days ago It’s because the voices of people on the road are too noisy, and I can’t sleep well. I think I’m used to it now, and I made up for it today.” The small round table of Ziyu Bailing was covered with strips of red felt, and the second lady, Jiang Yunze, was sitting on one side, cracking walnuts with small pliers, because she dropped it, she stood up to meet her.Daizhen put her hands on Yunze's shoulders and said with a smile: "Sister Yun is still filial. The old lady was happy yesterday. It is called candied walnuts. Just remember." Lanxian Daizhen sat down around the table and helped Peel the walnuts.Yunze's hands were sore, he put down the pliers, and Lan Xian took it.Dai Zhen said: "Be careful of your onion-like nails, they have grown so long, it's a pity to break them!" Yun Ze said: "Ask someone to get the golden nail covers." Lan Xian said with a smile: "There are such troubles Yes, it's better to tell them to take it to the kitchen and peel it!"

Everyone chatted and laughed in low voices, Liu Xi opened the curtain and reported, "Second Grandma is here." Lanxian Yunze stood up and offered to sit down, but Cao Qiqiao didn't sit down, she propped up the door with one hand and her waist with the other, A snow-green crepe handkerchief hangs from the narrow cuffs. She is wearing a silver-red shirt with light-white thread, snow-green flashing blue Ruyi trousers, a thin bony face, bright teeth, triangular eyes, and small mountain eyebrows. Looking around, He smiled and said: "Everyone is here. I must be late again today! Why am I not late-touching the hair of the black comb! Who taught me that the window faces the back yard? Just assign me such a room Anyway, our one doesn't seem to live long, we're just waiting to be orphans and widows—don't bully us, who are you bullying?" Taizhen didn't say anything, Lanxian smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law is used to Beijing. No wonder you think it’s so stuffy here.” Yun Ze said, “Brother, when he was looking for a house, he should have found a spacious one, but Shanghai is like this, I’m afraid it’s spacious.” Lan Xian said: “ No! There are so many people in the family, it’s a bit crowded—” Qiqiao rolled up her cuffs, tucked her handkerchief into her jade bracelet, glanced at Lan Xian, and said with a smile: “Third sister also thinks there are too many people .Even we think there are too many people, like you who are not full moon, naturally you think there are too many people!" After hearing this, Dai Zhen blushed and said: "Playing is playing, laughing is laughing, There must be a measure, the third sister is new here, you make her think about what kind of family we are?" Qiqiao pulled up the corner of the handkerchief to cover her lips and said: "I know you are all clean Miss, you can change it with me, I'm afraid you won't be used to it all night." Dai Zhen spat: "I won't tell you anymore, the more you talk about it, the more you'll get on your head." Qiqiao simply said She grabbed Taizhen's sleeve and said, "I can gamble - I can gamble for the past three years! Do you dare to bet?" Taizhen couldn't hold back a chuckle, and muttered, "Why do you Have two children?" Qiqiao said: "Really, even I don't know how this child was born! The more I think about it, the more I don't understand!" Taizhen shook her hand and said: "Enough, enough, stop talking That's all. Even if you treat the third younger sister as your own, there is nothing to hide, let younger sister Yun stay here, and the old lady will tell you later, so that you can't eat and walk around!"

Yunze walked away a long time ago, standing on the balcony with his hands behind his back, poking his beak to tease the hibiscus bird.Although the Jiang family lived in an early, latest-style bungalow, with majestic arches supported by pillars of piled red bricks, the balcony upstairs was paved with wood.Inside the boxwood railing, there is a row of large bamboo baskets, where dried bamboo shoots are drying.The old sun permeated the air like golden dust, the slightly suffocating golden ash rubbed into the eyes, making one feel dizzy.The peddler on the street is shaking the rattle far away, and there are countless memories of old children in the loud "Bulenden... Bulenden".A chartered car ding-ding by, and occasionally there is a finger of a car, as if wholeheartedly counting how many fingerprints are spiral-shaped, and how many are dustpans...

On the glass window, a small neon flower bloomed for no reason—it was reflected in a shop opposite, with a green heart and red petals, a lotus flower worshiping the Nile River, and a lily emblem of the French royal family... Shifang hadn't seen a girl from his home country for many years, and he felt that Chang'an had a delicate and pitiful charm, so he liked it a little.Before he went to study abroad, he had been engaged long ago, just because he fell in love with a female classmate, and opposed the family marriage to the death. The journey was long, and countless pen and ink lawsuits were filed, and almost fell out. His parents once severed his marriage. Donating money made him suffer a lot, and he just accepted him and terminated the contract.Unfortunately, his female classmate had an affair and abandoned him. When he was frustrated, he buried himself in reading for seven or eight years.He is convinced that his wife is still better in the old way, also because of the reaction.

After meeting Chang'an this way, both of them were interested.Changxin wanted to send the Buddha to the west, but no matter how enthusiastic she was, she was not qualified to speak to Chang'an's mother, so she had to ask Lanxian.Lan Xian insisted on refusing to say: "It's not that you don't know, your father is like your second mother's enemy, and never sees each other. Although I haven't blushed with her, there is no limit to being better. Why bother to ask for trouble? "When Chang'an saw Lanxian, he just shed tears, but Lanxian didn't have any feelings, so he had to agree to go for a walk.The sisters-in-law met and greeted each other, and Lanxian explained her intention.Qiqiao heard it at the beginning, but she was also happy, because she said: "Then please ask the third sister! I'm sick and sick, and I can't help it, and I'm tired of the third sister. This girl is my heart disease. I am a mother." I can’t say that I’m sorry for her. It’s the old law. I’ll bind her feet. I’ll follow the new rules. I’ll send her to school—what else? As long as she has no scars, no numbness, no blindness, will no one want her? But this girl is born to be a dou who cannot be supported, so I hate her so much that I just close my eyes and go, men and women marry, just let fate !"

Now that the discussion is over, Lanxian will treat guests and have a blind date on both sides.Chang'an and Tong Shifang only pretended that they had never met, and they met again.Qiqiao was sick in bed and didn't make an appearance, so Chang'an got engaged calmly.At the banquet, Lan Xian and Chang Xin forcibly took Chang An's hand and handed it to Tong Shifang, who put the ring on her in public.The bride's family also returned the gift, and although the four treasures of the study were omitted, they were replaced with a new-style velvet pencil case, and a watch was added.

After the engagement, Changan secretly went out with Shifang several times.Basking in the autumn sun, the two walked side by side in the park, rarely talking, with a bit of each other's clothes and moving feet in the corners of their eyes, the woman's powdery scent, and the man's light scent of wild rice, this simple and lovely impression It is the railing around them, which separates them from the crowd.On the open green grass, many people were running, laughing, and talking, but they walked through a beautiful and silent corridor—an endless and silent corridor.Without speaking, Chang'an didn't feel any flaws.She thinks that the new style of communication between men and women "is all there is to it".As for Tong Shifang, because of his painful experience in the past, he was fundamentally skeptical about the exchange of ideas.He is content with having someone by his side.In the past, he hated the man in the novel, when he asked a woman to live together, he only said: "Please give me some comfort." Comfort is purely spiritual, but here it is synonymous with carnal desire.But he now knows that the boundary between spirit and matter cannot be so clearly distinguished.Words are of no use after all.Holding hands for a long time is a more appropriate comfort, because there are very few people who can talk, and even fewer people who really have something to say.Sometimes when it rained in the park, Changan held up an umbrella, and Shifang held it for her.Across the translucent blue silk umbrella, thousands of raindrops shone like stars in a day.The stars of the day follow them everywhere, on the rotten car windows, when the car passes the red light, then the green light, a nest of red stars and a nest of green stars fly outside the window.

Chang An came home with some random dreams under the stars, and he became very silent, smiling all the time.When Qiqiao saw her, she couldn't help getting angry, so she said coldly: "Duo Duo has neglected the girl all these years, no wonder the girl rarely smiles. Now she jumped out of the door of Jiang's house, taking advantage of her wish, and being happier, but also Don't put it on your face like that—it's chilling!" According to Chang'an's usual temperament, he wanted to retort, but Chang'an seemed to have changed his person recently, he didn't care about what he heard, and worked hard to quit smoking on his own.Qiqiao couldn't help her.On the day of Chang'an's engagement, the eldest grandma Daizhen didn't go, and came to make up the congratulations after a few days.Qiqiao quietly called her sister-in-law, and said: "I think we still have to inquire outside. We can't be rash in this matter! The day before yesterday I seemed to scratch a little in my ears, saying that there is a wife in the country, and there is another overseas." Dai Jane said: "The one in the country broke up without getting married. The same goes for the one overseas. They said they had been friends for a few years, but they didn't succeed for some reason." Qiqiao said: "Then there is another reason? A man's heart, His words have changed, and he has changed. He doesn’t even admit to being a matchmaker, let alone a crooked and hot guy? Do you know if he has anyone else overseas? I only have this one daughter, so I can’t be fooled Li muddleheadedly ruined her life, I myself have suffered from a matchmaker!" Chang An sat by the side and pinched the palm of his hand with his nails, the palm turned red, but the nails turned white.As soon as Qiqiao looked up and saw her, she scolded: "You shameless girl, keep your ears up! Can you hear this? When we were girls, we mentioned the mother-in-law's house, and it was too late. Run away. Your Jiang family has been a scholar for generations, I’m afraid you still have to go to your grandma’s house who runs a sesame oil shop to learn some rules!" Chang An ran out crying.Qiqiao patted the pillow and said: "The girl is in a hurry to get married, and I can't help it. She pulls the fishy smelly one home. The name is her third aunt looking for someone, but in fact she is just taking her third aunt Make a cover. Mostly the uncooked rice has been cooked into cooked rice, so the third aunt came out to be a matchmaker. Everyone ganged up to fool me alone... It’s okay to fool me! To put it bluntly, the mother is the face of the brother Where to put it?" Another day, Chang An excused himself and slipped out. When he came back, Qiqiao didn't wait for Qiqiao to ask her, but was about to report her whereabouts. Qiqiao scolded: "Come on, come on, don't say a few words! What the hell are you doing in front of me? One day You let me grasp the real evidence—hmph! Don’t think that you are old and engaged, and I can’t beat you!” Chang’an said anxiously: “I’ve broken the law by sending shoes to Sister Xin. Mother doesn't believe it, mother asks the third aunt!' Qiqiao said: "Your third aunt found a man for you, who will be your reborn parents, and then raise your parents!I've never seen such a light bone like you! ...in a blink of an eye you will disappear.Your family has provided for you all these years, and you only need to buy a servant to serve you. Where is it that you can't stand it anymore? You can't sit still at home for a moment? "Chang'an blushed, with tears streaming down her face. Qiqiao took a breath and said again: "I don't want any good ones at the beginning, but now I'm going to marry a worthless one. If they pick up the rest, don't they just slap their mouths on themselves? ?If he was a person, how could he live to be in his thirties, travel across the ocean, travel hundreds of thousands of miles, and still not have a wife? " However, Chang'an is obsessed with obsession.Because the two parties are not too young, and they have been engaged for less than a few months, the man entrusts Lanxian to discuss the wedding date.Qiqiao pointed to Chang'an and said: "Don't get married early, don't get married later, just because you don't get enough money for the past two years! If the harvest in the fields is better next year, the dowry will be more tidy." Don't pay attention to these. Just follow the method of the new school, and save a little." Qiqiao said: "What new school and old school? The old school is nothing more than more pompous, and the new school is more affordable. It's still a bad luck for my mother's family!" Lan Xian said: "Look at the second sister-in-law. Let’s just do it, don’t tell me that Sister An is still arguing about whether it’s too much or not?” Everyone in the room laughed, and Chang An also smiled slightly.Qiqiao scolded: "Don't be ashamed! What's the matter with something you can't hold in your stomach? I can't wait to go through the door! I don't want the dowry—you want it, but others don't? You Surely he is the one who plots for you? You are too self-conscious, what is your point of view? Don't lie to yourself! The surname Tong is not interested in the Jiang family's family name! Don't look at it Your family is full of vigor and grandeur, and the princes and generals are actually not like that at all! You have long been a strong outsider, and you can’t even hold up empty airs in the past two years. As for people, one generation is as bad as the next. How can there be heaven and earth in your eyes? Young Master They don’t understand anything, but the young ladies know that rich men need men — pigs and dogs are worse than dogs! My natal family should never have married the Jiang family and cheated me for the rest of my life. I’m going to tell that boy surnamed Tong Don't be fooled like me before it's too late!" Ever since the quarrel, Lan Xian has given up on this marriage.Qiqiao's illness gradually recovered, she got out of bed for a while, and then sat on the door every day, calling out to Chang'an's house from a distance: "If you want a wild man, you can go to fight, just don't bring him to the door to recognize me as your mother-in-law." I'm so mad at you! I just want to be out of sight and out of mind. It's the girl's grace to allow me to live two more years!" Shouting a few words upside down could be heard all over the street.Naturally, the news spread among the relatives.Qiqiao called Chang'an to her again, and burst into tears, "My son, you know that outsiders have trampled you so long and short that you are worthless! Since your mother married into Jiang's family, whoever is right? Snobbish, dogs look down on people, and I don’t know how much they angered me. Even your father, what good does he do to me, and I want to be a widow for him? I have worked so hard for twenty years, nothing more than I hope that you and your sister will grow up and win back some face for me, and I don't expect this to end up like this!" She said, sobbing. Hearing this, Chang'an was like a thunderbolt.It's okay for her mother to say that she is not a person, and outsiders can say that she is not a person.She can't handle this much.Only Tong Shifang—he—what should he think?Does he still want her?Has his attitude changed a little since the last time we met?It's hard to say... She is so happy, she won't notice the small difference... Being caught between the physical pain and all kinds of stimulation during the period of quitting smoking, Chang'an has long been unable to bear it, but she can't bear it if she persists. She survived, and now she suddenly felt that all the bones in her body were out of joint.Explain to him?He is no better than her brother, he is not her mother's child, he will never fully understand her mother's character.It's fine if he never sees her mother in his life, but sooner or later he will get to know Qiqiao.This is something that lasts forever, there are only those who have been thieves for a thousand years, but there are no ones who have been guarding against thieves for a thousand years-she knew what methods her mother would use?Sooner or later there will be trouble, and sooner or later there will be a rupture.This was the most perfect part of her life, and instead of letting others add an ugly tail to it, it would be better for her to end it early.A beautiful but desolate gesture... She knew she would regret it, she knew she would regret it, but she raised her eyebrows, pretending not to mind, and said, "Since mother doesn't want to make this kiss, I'll go Just return them." Qiqiao was crying, but suddenly stopped, stopped for a while, and started crying again. Chang'an regained his composure, so he went to make a phone call to Tong Shifang. Shifang was not free that day, so he made an appointment for tomorrow afternoon.What Chang An is most afraid of is that the intervening night, one minute, one moment, one moment, will gnaw into her heart.The next day, at the old place in the park, Shifang came up to her with a smile and didn't say hello to her—this was a kind of intimacy to him.He seemed to pay special attention to her today, and when walking side by side, he looked at her face repeatedly.With the sun shining brightly, Chang An felt that his eyelids were swollen to the point that he couldn't lift them up, so let's talk while he wasn't looking at her.She softly called "Mr. Tong" with a hoarse voice.Shifang didn't hear it.Well, let's talk while he's looking at her.She was surprised that she still had a smile on her face, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Tong, I think——our matter may be—let's talk about it. I'm very sorry." She took off the ring and put it in his hand, Cold rings, cold wet hands.She walked quickly, he was stunned for a while, then caught up and replied: "Why? Is there anything dissatisfied with me?" Chang An looked straight ahead and shook his head.Shifang said: "Then why? Chang'an said: "My mother..." Shifang said: "Your mother has never seen me. Chang'an said: "I told you, it's not because of you."It has absolutely nothing to do with you.My mother..." Shifang stood still. Is this a good reason in China? He hesitated for a moment, and she was already gone. The garden was basking in the late autumn sun all morning and afternoon. Like an overripe fruit, it falls, falls, and emits a fragrance. Chang'an Youyou suddenly heard the sound of the harmonica, and slowly blew out "Long, Long, Ago"—"Tell me that story, my favorite one in the past." story.A long time ago, a long time ago..." This is now, and in a blink of an eye, it has changed to a long time ago, and everything is over. Chang'an is obsessed, looking for the harmonica player—to find herself. Facing the sun Walking, to the bottom of the tree, a boy in yellow shorts was riding on the branch of the tree, playing the harmonica, but he was playing a different tune, which she had never heard before. A small tree , the sparse and bright sycamore leaves shook like golden bells in the sun. Changan looked up, his eyes were dark, like a shower, and tears covered his face in strings. Shifang found her. After standing quietly by his side for a while, Fang said, "I respect your opinion. "Changan raised her leather bag to cover the sun on her face. They continued to come and go for some time.Shifang wants to express that the purpose of the new character's girlfriend is not limited to finding a mate, so even though he broke off the engagement with Chang'an, he still invites her out often.As for Chang An, she didn't know what kind of contradictory hopes she had to go out with him—she wouldn't admit it even if she knew it.When they were engaged, they went out together in an open and aboveboard manner, and they had to hide it from the family, but now it has become a secret covenant.Shifang's attitude was always calm.It is true that she hurt his self-esteem a little, and at the same time he felt a little sorry for her, but "Why does a man have no wife?" The most solemn compliment a man gives to a woman is a marriage proposal.He gave up his freedom and gave her this generous gift. Although she "received it with her heart", he did his best.This is a matter of benefit without cost. No matter how delicate and awkward their relationship was, they were serious friends.They even started talking.Chang'an's new words often made Shifang laugh, saying: "You are really interesting!" Chang'an gradually discovered that she herself was a "very interesting" person.Even Shifang himself will be amazed at how things will develop if this goes on like this. However, the sound of the wind reached Qiqiao's ears.Behind Chang'an's back, Qiqiao ordered Changbai to post a message to invite Tong Shifang to have a light meal.Shifang guessed that the Jiang family wanted to warn him that he would not be allowed to sever ties with their young lady, but he and Changbai had two cups of wine in the gloomy and spacious dining room, and had a conversation. Favor, not a single word touched Chang An, the cold dishes were removed, and Chang Bai suddenly stood up with his hands on the table.Shifang turned his head, and saw a small old lady standing with the light behind her back at the door, her face was not clear, she was wearing a blue and gray dragon palace woven satin robe, holding a red hot water bottle in both hands, and beside her were two tall maid.The sun was dim outside the door, and the stairs were covered with lichen of lake-green checked oilcloth, going up step by step, leading to a place without light.Shifang intuitively felt that it was a madman—for no reason, he was just creeped out.Changbai introduced: "This is my mother." Shifang moved his chair, stood up, and bowed.Qiqiao put her hand on a maid's arm, walked in gracefully, greeted her a few times, sat down and offered a toast and food.Changbai said: "Where's my sister? There are guests here, and she doesn't help Zhang Luo Zhang Luo." Qiqiao said: "She will come down after two more pumps." Shifang was startled, and opened his eyes to look at her.Qiqiao hurriedly explained: "This child suffers from congenital inadequacy, so she had to smoke when she was on the ground. Later, she also smoked this thing because of her illness. Miss's house, it’s so inconvenient! Jiao, she's used to her temperament again, if you say throw it away, you can throw it away anywhere? It's been ten years since I quit smoking." Shifang couldn't help but change his face.Qiqiao has the prudence and wit of a madman.She knew that if she didn't pay attention, people would cut off her words with mocking and distrustful eyes, and she was used to that pain.She was afraid that if she talked too much, people would see through her.So I stopped myself early and was busy adding wine and serving dishes.After a while, when Chang'an was mentioned again, she still repeated those few words lightly.Her flat, sharp throat was cut like razor blades on all sides.Chang An came downstairs quietly, black embroidered shoes and white stockings stayed on the stairs in the dim light of day.After stopping for a while, he went up again.Step by step, step into the place where there is no light.Qiqiao said: "Changbai, please accompany Mr. Tong to drink two more glasses, I'll go up first." The servant brought a first-grade pot, and replaced it with freshly scalded bamboo leaf green.A girl stood in a panic at the door and called out the servant who was serving at the table. After muttering for a while, the servant came in and said a few words to Changbai Fuer. Changbai hurriedly got up and apologized to Shifang, saying: Excuse me for the time being, I'll come as soon as I go." He also went upstairs with three feet and two steps, leaving only Shifang to drink alone.The boy also felt sorry, and told him in a low voice: "Our Miss Juan is about to give birth." Shifang said, "Who is Miss Juan?" The boy said, "It's the young master's aunt." Shifang brought the meal After eating two mouthfuls indiscriminately, it was inconvenient to put down the bowl and leave, so I had to sit on the flower pear kang and wait, the wine was hot.Suddenly feeling extremely tired, he lay down.The flower pear kang with cloudy heads, the cold yellow rattan heart, the cold fragrance of grapefruit... my aunt has had a baby.This is the ancient China that he misses... His quiet and chaste Chinese lady is an opium smoker!He sat up, resting his head on his hands, feeling embarrassingly lonely.He took his hat and went out, and said to the boy: "Please tell your superiors later, I will thank you in person some other day!" He walked through the brick courtyard, and there was a tree growing in the middle of the courtyard, Kazuki's dead branches Gao Gao is printed on the light blue sky, like ice patterns on porcelain.Chang Jing quietly followed him and sent it out.There are pale yellow daisies on her navy blue long-sleeved cheongsam.She clasped her hands with a rare softness on her face.Shifang turned around and said, "Miss Jiang..." She stood still at a distance, just lowered her head. Shifang bowed slightly, turned around and left. Chang'an felt that she was separated by a considerable distance. Looking at this garden in the sun from a distance, looking down from a tall building, it is clear, kind, but unable to interfere, the courtyard, the tree, and the two people who are dragging the shadows of the depression, there is no words—there are not many memories, and the future will be pretended She held it with both hands in the crystal bottle—her first and last love. Zhishou lay upright on the bed, her hands resting on her ribs curled up like the feet of a butchered chicken. The curtain was half hung. Day and night, she would not let them put down the tent for her. She was afraid. Rumors came in that Miss Juan had given birth to a young master. The girl left the steaming medicine jar and ran out to join in the fun. The door was wide open, and a gust of wind blew in. , the hooks of the tent shook wildly, and the tent was lowered automatically, but Zhishou stopped protesting. She tilted her head to the right and rolled out of the pillow. She didn't die—it took another half a month She just died. Miss Juan helped Zheng and became Zhishou's substitute. After helping Zheng for less than a year, she swallowed raw opium and committed suicide. Changbai didn't dare to marry again, and only walked around in brothels. Chang'an was even younger. I stopped thinking about getting married. Qiqiao seems to be sleeping but not sleeping horizontally on the cigarette shop.For thirty years she wore a golden shackle.She hacked and killed several people with that heavy shackle horn, and killed half of those who survived.She knew that her son and daughter hated her, her husband's family hated her, and her mother's family hated her.She fumbled for the emerald jade bracelet on her wrist, and slowly pushed the bracelet up her bony arm until it reached her armpit.She herself couldn't believe that she had round arms when she was young.Even after a few years of marriage, there was only room for a crepe handkerchief in the bracelet.When I was a girl at the age of eighteen or nineteen, I rolled up the sleeves of the blue linen shirt with big trim and rolled up high, revealing a pair of snow-white wrists, and went to the street to buy vegetables.Those who like her include Chaolu from the butcher shop, Ding Yugen, her elder brother's sworn brother, Zhang Shaoquan, and Shen Tailor's son.If she likes her, maybe she just likes to joke with her, but if she picks one of them, after a long time, after giving birth to a child, the man will be more or less sincere to her.Qiqiao moved the small foreign pillow with ruffled leaves under her head, leaned over her face and wiped it, she lazily wiped away the tear on that side, let it hang on her cheek, and gradually dried it by herself. After Qiqiao passed away, Chang'an and Changbai separated and moved out.It was not difficult for Qiqiao's daughter to solve her own problems.Rumor had it that she was walking down the street with a man, stopped at a stall, and he bought her a pair of garter belts.Maybe she used her own money, but it was out of the man's pocket anyway. ...Of course this is just a rumor.The moon of thirty years ago has sunk, and the people of thirty years ago have died, but the story of thirty years ago is not over yet—it cannot be finished.
