Chapter 35 Chapter 35: The Lonely Willow Bianzhou

After all, Chunhua is too young to be very determined.In addition, she has a bit of what the Chinese call a woman's benevolence, which is far from the situation when she first entered the housekeeper's door.At this time, Chunfen ran in and reported to the uncle: "Father took my brother to the store." The uncle looked at Chunhua, and then gave Chunfen another wink.Chun Equinox said: "You don't know. I took my brother's change of clothes. Dad said, let him stay in the store for a while, and let him come back when he is called back. Because he is afraid of keeping him at home. My sister can’t be comfortable.” My aunt smiled at Chunhua and said, “Listen, I’m not lying. Gu Quan got it. So there is no other reason for this, it is nothing but love for your talent. I know in my heart what you don't want, but I can't say it, but I won't say it, your father-in-law It’s done, so there’s nothing embarrassing anymore, right?” Chunhua’s heart was shaken, and he couldn’t help but lower his head.

The aunt looked at it, smiled slightly, nodded twice and said: "Spring Equinox, go and tell your mother that I will come out for dinner with your sister." Chunhua felt that this was a little too much trace.But it would be useless to go out and stay in the house forever, so I just bowed my head and kept silent.The biggest difficulty like this, Chunhua also made trouble in a vague way, and there was nothing more embarrassing than that.Seeing her, Mrs. Liao seemed to have nothing to do with what happened last night. She didn't mention a word. After dinner, she simply said to her: "You are new to my house, and everything is unfamiliar. You don't have to do things outside the door." Don't worry. There are all kinds of books in the study room, so you can go read them." Chunhua reluctantly agreed and went back to the room.

It's already midsummer, and the sun is basking on the earth like a stove at noon.The clump of thin bamboo outside the Chunhua suite occasionally rustled, drawing a gust of southeast wind in through the window, and people felt cool for a while in the extremely irritating air.She leaned on the desk by the window, propped her head on her right hand, and held a handful of tender banana leaves in her left hand, fanning them time after time. She was very tired.With these two gusts of southeast wind, it made my tiredness even more, I closed my eyes slightly, and gradually fell asleep.So he pushed the book, rested his head on his arm, and rested for a while.Although the person didn't move, the sound of the cicadas in the sky, creaking, just sent to the ears.This made her suddenly raise her head. It turned out that when she was seven or eight years old, she and her cousins ​​from grandma's house were playing with worms by the river.There are many willow trees growing under the river, and under the shade of the trees, on the river bank, there grows fine grass like green felt.Everyone turned somersaults on the straw mat, erected the big roof, sat and rolled, and it was not hot at all.Because the wind blows from the river, it is very cool.Playing there all day long, when I heard cicadas calling in the trees, I applied fish paste on the long bamboo pole and stuck it down.I thought of such a place last time, so I made an agreement with Xiaoqiu to bend the boat there to welcome him.And I was still thinking, when I met Xiaoqiu and told him this incident, now it has become a fantasy, so I couldn't help being sad for a while, and sighed.

Yet the fantasy she asserted was no fantasy.At this time, under the willow tree on the river bank, a boat was already anchored. There were two teenagers hiding in the boat. They didn't dare to show their presence, but when the sun was noon, the boat was really hot, so the two left the boat and landed. , Sitting on the grass under the shade of willows to enjoy the shade.There are not many passenger ships berthing here in this place, so we can know that it is Qu Yujian and Li Xiaoqiu.Xiaoqiu leaned on the willow bag, stretched her legs, and looked towards the roof ridge in the embankment with her back to the river.But Yujian grabbed a long willow branch with his hands, grabbed the leaves of the tree with his hands, and stared blankly at the boats passing by in the river.Xiaoqiu smiled and said: "Old Qu, don't lie to me. This joke is not only costing me money, it is also putting my life in danger." Yujian said: "You worry too much. If I am playing with you, then I am playing with myself, am I not here to accompany you to wait for someone?"

Xiaoqiu said: "That's the only way I trust you. But why hasn't there been any news about that person until now?" Yu Jian said with a smile: "If we have news, we will sail away. What else is there? What do you mean?" Xiao Qiu said, "I'm not saying that it's news only after seeing it, but you didn't mean that she would hang a red thing first?" Yu Jian said, "She told us to hang a red thing on the boat, It's not that she hangs a red thing, and we have already done it." Xiaoqiu said: "It's only like this, I think she should also do more or less on the wall of her grandmother's house, or on the bamboo tree behind the house: Make a mark and echo each other, so we can feel at ease." Yu Jian smiled and said, "Are you a little confused? Excuse me, if she has the time to come out and see the mark on our ship, she will make a mark for each other. Let’s echo, why doesn’t she just be honest and jump on our boat?” Xiaoqiu leaned against the tree trunk, closed her eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said: “Of course what you said is reasonable, but I’m a very impatient person. I'm really getting impatient with waiting." Yu Jian walked over, sat on the grass, and said in a low voice, "Tonight is the day of her birthday, if she has a chance to come out, it must be today." Xiao Qiu said with a smile: "Then, tell me an hour, and let me count it." Yujian said, "This is what the old woman in the country did. You, a reformer like you, are willing to believe it?" Xiaoqiu closed her eyes, raised her head, Leaning tightly against the tree trunk, he sighed and said, "I can't settle my heart anymore. It just wants to get irritable, so I can't help it." Sitting on the grass, Yu Jian was also bored. Immediately pulled up the long grass stalks one by one.Xiao Qiu said: "Tonight, I will never sleep, I will sit here all night."

As he spoke, he stamped his feet to show his determination.Yujian pulled up a grass by the root, and said with all his strength, "You don't sleep, and I don't sleep either." Xiaoqiu opened his eyes to look at him, then closed them again, and said, "Then why?" Yujian laughed and said, "If you wait until midnight and no one arrives, you get anxious and jump into the river, wouldn't I be responsible for my life?" Xiaoqiu said, "Huh! That's not sure." He frowned tightly and pressed his hand to his heart.Seeing him like this, Yujian also knew that he was so anxious and helpless, so he sighed and said: "Love has been empty since ancient times, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from." Xiaoqiu said: "Sure enough, I remembered something. After you have been to the provincial capital, why do you often read the verses from "Huayuehen" in your mouth." Yu Jian smiled and said: "This is a trend. It's like learning the style of "Xinmin Congbao" Well, when we write essays in school, if we don’t write a few goals and purposes to be free and barbaric, then the essay is corrupt. At the same time, there must be a few romantic novels of "Huayueshen" on everyone's desk. And what is more fashionable Yes, display a few translated novels in oriental suits on the desk. This is what I have tried and tested. Any friend with fake braids must have this kind of translated novels on his desk. You are a reformer. Don't you have such a temper?" Xiaoqiu said: "Don't underestimate this novel, there are many things we don't know, we can know from it, and gain a lot of knowledge." Yujian laughed; "I'm afraid you are not You have to learn a lot from it.”

With just this one sentence, before he finished the second sentence, he jumped up in the grass, clapped his hands and said, "Here she comes, she comes! Xiaoqiu also jumped up when she got the news. Because He sat down against the tree pocket. Under the tree pocket, the old roots protruded vertically and horizontally, protruding from the ground. Xiaoqiu jumped up and was standing on the old tree root. He couldn't stand firmly. He fell from the side upside down and rolled straight into the deep grass Li. Yujian was taken aback and asked what was going on, so he went forward to help him. Xiaoqiu laughed and jumped up again, patted the grass clippings on his body with both hands, shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay . "He looked forward with both eyes at the same time. But another unexpected thing happened. The one who said she came was not Yao Chunhua, but the fifth sister-in-law of the Yao family. She walked forward calmly. Come, with many smiles on your face.

Xiao Qiu whispered: "Hurry up and come here." He hid his body in the willow branches that were pulled down, and just waved at her.The fifth sister-in-law stepped forward and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, why are you so afraid?" Yu Jian also said, "Get on the boat and talk." Don't worry, both of you, I'll tell you some news." As she spoke, her smile gradually faded away.Xiaoqiu first felt that something was wrong, so she got out of the willow stick, stared and asked, "What's the matter? Can't she come out?" The fifth sister-in-law sighed and said, "Young Master Li, listen to me, the marriage is not good. It's pre-determined, and people can't come by force." Yujian also walked up to him and said, "This is no joke after all, fifth sister-in-law, tell the truth." Fifth sister-in-law said: "What am I doing here in Yongtai? ? Not to tell the truth, I’m not here yet. Condolences! Things have turned into this way, I can’t think of it.” Xiaoqiu said: “How have things turned out? Tell me what you say!” The fifth sister-in-law held the willow tree and stood Ding, told the story of Chunhua Heiye being deceived and brought to the housekeeper of Linjiang Mansion.He said again: "As for what will happen to the housekeeper, I don't know. However, some of the housekeepers have been to the Xianggong's house, and they must be talking about what will happen after the girl is gone. I see that their family is very peaceful, and there must be nothing wrong. " Mengyuan Book City (my285.com)

After hearing this news, Xiaoqiu became dizzy and ten times more sad than when she fell on the grass just now. She didn't say a word, squatted down and sat on the grass.The fifth sister-in-law said: "I was thinking about it at home, and I have already led you here to wait for her. You won't see her for three or five days, and I'm afraid you still won't go to my place to inquire about the news. How long will you wait like this?" What about it? I feel sorry, so I slipped out on purpose and came here to write you a letter. Do you think I’m really impractical in doing things?” Yu Jian arched his fist and said, “This is really difficult for you. Then, please Get on the boat, and drive the boat across the three lakes, so that you can go home." Xiao Qiu sat on the grass, doing nothing all the time.Yu Jian said: "When things get to this point, it's finally clean. It's also very good to interrupt your thoughts. In the future, you can put aside the love of your children and study hard. Fuck you It’s a serious matter. She’s someone with a family, and you’ve made a mistake if you think about her.” He looked at Xiao Qiu’s face while talking, and saw that he lowered his head and just pulled weeds on the ground with his hands. answer.Yin said: "Don't be in a daze, people have left long ago, and your anxious death will be in vain. I remember this sentence in "Zuo Zhuan": There are so many beautiful women in the world, why bother?" Xiao Qiu suddenly raised her face and said to him: "Is this what you should say as a dedicated person?" Yu Jian was blocked by a sentence, but couldn't continue to continue. After a pause, he asked: "So, what are you going to say?" What should I do?" Xiao Qiu jumped up and said, "Seeing is worth seeing once, I plan to go to Linjiang City to have a look."

The fifth sister-in-law dodged in the shade of the willow tree, and listened to the two of them talking, but she was silent all the time. At this moment, she waved her hands again and again and said, "This is not nonsense. When I go to my in-law's house, there is another heaven, that is, my mother's brother." When my brother and uncle went to see her, she didn't dare to come out to meet her casually. Young masters like you, if you don't have any relatives, and if you don't have any reason, you go to visit other young women, what a big deal! Linjiang Mansion , you probably don’t have any acquaintances, and when you get there, may I ask where you settled down? It’s impossible for the housekeeper to have such two aunts and sister-in-laws to pass letters to you, right?” Xiaoqiu jumped up excitedly and was caught After she broke through with two sentences, she also felt that there was no reason to argue with her, so she also held a willow stick and stood there blankly.

The fifth sister-in-law said: "According to me, since Young Master Li came here secretly, of course he also hid it from Master Li, but don't go to Sanhu to see Master Li. If you reveal the news after the preface, say Maybe it will be another disaster. I don’t care, how did I get to Yongtai, I will naturally go back to Yaojia Village. You two don’t have to delay here, and sail back to the provincial capital immediately. The southwest wind blows today, You can walk smoothly for a day, and arrive in the province early tomorrow. There is a saying that the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. There may be a chance to meet in the future, but I dare not meddle in your business anymore. Goodbye. After she finished speaking, she hooked her head twice and walked towards the dike.Xiaoqiu chased after her and shouted: "Fifth sister-in-law, you are here too, what's the point of talking to me a few more words!" Fifth sister-in-law stood on the dike, turned her head and smiled and said: " Goodbye, let’s go back quickly.” After she finished speaking, she had already walked down the embankment and headed for the village. Qu and Li then rushed to the embankment and stared blankly at Fifth Sister-in-law's shadow for a while.Xiao Qiu said: "Do you think her words are reliable?" Yu Jian said: "She is a woman with small feet crossing the river, and it is not easy to come here. She is fine, why did she come here and report such a letter to you? So I think her words are always completely credible, if you want to go forward, it will be a waste of effort, then follow the words of the fifth sister-in-law, and go back to Nanchang as soon as possible." The two were talking. Then he walked down the embankment listlessly, and stood under the shade of willows again.Across the river, Xiaoqiu looked at the long flag outside the Liju on Sanhu Street, fluttering in the wind, and faintly saw the house where her parents lived by the river.Yin said: "When I get to this place, I always have to go home, so I can feel better." Yujian laughed and said, "You are really smart enough to see the end of the matter, and you don't see it. To be honest, what do we do that meet the wishes of our parents? If this person boarded the boat today, would you still If you want to escape to Kaifeng far away, it will be even farther! We don’t need to talk about benevolence, justice and morality when we talk about the word love. I think, you have been away from your old aunt for a few days, so you don’t necessarily miss your parents very much. What you can't rest assured about is the actual situation of this matter, what is going on. Human feelings will be dealt with to the end. We can sail the boat to the ferry on the other side now. At night, I will quietly go to Yao's house again. Let me ask you some information. Sure enough, we will sail at dawn tomorrow. If everything she says is not true, then think about it again. Do you think it’s okay?" Xiaoqiu smiled slightly again. So the two explained to the boatman that they followed the plan.That night, when the half moon was hanging obliquely outside the orange grove and at the head of the paper tower, the boat that Xiaoqiu was in had been moored at the ferry for two hours.Yujian had already gone to Yaojia Village, Xiaoqiu was the only one left here, pushed aside the canopy of the boat, leaned on the rudder board, watched the water waves in the river, pushing layer by layer, shaking the sinking moon shadow.There was no sound around, just the wind blowing and the waves rushing to the shore, making a crackling sound.Corresponding to the chirping of insects in the grass on the bank, the silence of the summer night on the river is embellished.Looking up at the shore, the small tower of the writing paper stove, together with the woods in the long embankment, the half moon, and the sidewalk with few pedestrians, I really feel that this place is a painting.This reminds me of the first time I met Chunhua here, and the second time I dropped out of school and went home, recalling Chunhua's past here.Unexpectedly, I have already left Sanhu, and I have a third chance to spend the night here.I'm afraid I may not come here in the future, so I should go ashore to have a look.Thinking of this, I couldn't bear it anymore, so I followed the springboard and walked ashore.Everything on the shore is still the same as before, but the grass on the roadside has grown deeper.Go up to the embankment and look into the embankment. The orange grove is black and towering, but you can't see anything.Only by turning around and looking westward, saw the lights on Sanhu Street, scattered in the moonlight, revealing the dark shadow of the market.There are a few lights among them, very close to each other, so I figured that it must be at home, my father must be reading under the light, but my mother should also be talking and laughing with my younger siblings under the light.They never imagined that I was standing on the embankment next to the house.My father was afraid that I would cause trouble in Sanhu, so he sent me to Nanchang. No, I sneaked back to cause trouble for him.Staring blankly at the door of the house for a long time on the embankment, he took a deep breath, sighed twice, shook his head a few times, showing hesitation, then walked along the long embankment to the side of the small tower. At that time, the boatmen had also rested early, and on the right side of the ferry, there was a small boat as big as a bed. Two black shadows were reflected by the moonlight in the water, and I felt that this state was even more amazing. There is an indescribable deep meaning.So Xiaoqiu sat on a stone slab under the base of the tower, enjoying the fun.Then he heard the sand on the embankment being trampled on. It was expected that Yu Jian had returned from inquiring about the news from Yaojia Village, so he immediately went forward to meet him.Yujian smiled and said on the embankment: "The moon is dim like this, and you are full of worries. I was on the road, so I expected you would not sleep on the boat." He walked to the side, took Xiaoqiu's hand and said: " Get on the boat and go to sleep." Xiaoqiu said: "Hey! What about the news I asked you to inquire about? Why didn't you mention a word? The scenery on the river bank is very beautiful, so we can talk here, wouldn't it be good? Arrived." Yu Jian followed his will, walked casually, and talked with him.Yin said: "What Fifth Sister-in-law said is not bad at all. When Chunhua was getting on the sedan chair, she thought she was coming to grandma's house, and she didn't make any trouble at all. After arriving at the housekeeper, it was a tiger who was in a cage. Naturally, She can never be free. As for her news, the housekeeper is not willing to leak out. All relatives and friends say that the housekeeper treats her very well. Reading." Xiao Qiu said: "Does she still have the heart to read? This is a rumor." Yu Jian said: "That's not necessarily a rumor. For example, sitting in a prison alone, you can't cry or sigh all day and all night, you have to find a way to resolve it. I think, after she became the housekeeper, there were only two Lu: One way is to die, and the other way is to surrender. No matter how harsh the housekeeper treats her, it is impossible. Her two families love each other and get married. And such a good girl is worthy of a mangy, consumptive son like him. Is there anything you can't justify?" Xiaoqiu didn't answer a word, just bowed his head and walked away.Yu Jian said: "Then, we are determined to set sail tomorrow morning. I am very worried about leaving someone alone in the provincial capital." Xiao Qiu said: "Of course I can't always delay you like this, but I My heart was broken, and I just watched someone jump into the fire pit and couldn't save her. To be honest, if it wasn't for this stupid plan, maybe she wouldn't have gone into the fire pit, I really regret it." , paused his feet on the ground a few times, raised his hands, and scratched his head.Yu Jian said: "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's ask ourselves, we are very sorry for her. This is her family's tyranny, pushing her into the pit of fire, what has it to do with you?" Xiaoqiu walked towards the river bank without making a sound. By the side, leaning against a small willow tree, looking up at the moon in the sky.Yujian was startled, afraid that he would jump into the river, so he ran forward quickly, leaned against him tightly, and secretly grabbed his clothes. Xiaoqiu didn't pay attention to it, and raised her hand again, scratched her hair, stomped her feet, and sighed: "Moon, of course you have to follow her. You can forward a letter to her. My heart is broken." Yu Jian shook his shoulders and said, "Xiaoqiu, are you crazy? We can go back to the boat. Listen to the Genggu on the boat, it's already the third watch." Meng Yuan Book City (my285.com) This sentence reminded Xiaoqiu, and sure enough there was a buzzing sound around him.Looking back, I saw the bamboo fence at home, which was already clearly visible under the moon, so I turned around and stared at it for a while.Yujian whispered: "Let's go, if the old man finds out, this matter is not a joke." Xiaoqiu said: "I don't understand why, I just feel that my heart is twenty today. I saw my home and wanted to see my parents." Yu Jian grabbed him tightly and said, "Aren't you a fool? You stole it like this How can I go in and see my old uncle and auntie? The two old people asked me more, which made me feel even more embarrassed. There is a saying that adultery is never heard of by parents. How can you go back to Sanhu for the sake of your children's affair? Tell the two old people? If you lie, it's not easy to tell a lie." Xiaoqiu stared blankly for a while, then sighed and said, "I can't help but deceive my two old people." head, and walked slowly towards the ferry.But after walking seven or eight steps, he stopped suddenly, shook his head and said, "No. Even if I don't go in, I have to go outside and listen to what my parents are saying now." Yujian said: "At this time, the old uncle and aunt are probably going to rest, and you can't hear anything if you go to listen." But when Xiao Qiu was talking, she had already turned and walked towards the door of her own house, and she was walking very quickly.Yu Jian thought, when a person arrives at the door of his house, he only thinks of his family members.So I followed slowly and stood still far away.Xiao Qiu clung to the door and listened inside.Hearing Dangdang strike ten o'clock, based on my own ear experience, I knew that it was the bell in my mother's room. I thought that it was quite hot tonight, and maybe my mother was still enjoying the shade.After ten knocks like this, the air became more silent, without a single sound.When Xiaoqiu couldn't hear anything, she thought it would be better to walk away, thinking that she was about to move, but it was in this half space, there was a gust of wind rippling, and there was a smell of medicine, which was sent to her nose.Xiaoqiu was taken aback suddenly, who was taking the medicine? It was late at night, and the medicine was still being decocted. Could it be one of the two old people? So she stopped abruptly, and stood by the door again.Yujian followed quietly, and called out in a low voice: "Hey! Xiaoqiu, why don't you leave?" Xiaoqiu shrugged her nose twice, because she said, "You heard, someone in my family is making medicine. Eat it." Yu Jian said: "I also smell the medicine, the smell spreads far in the middle of the night, maybe it's not someone brewing medicine in the house." Xiaoqiu said: "Of course I would like to be otherwise, but I definitely can't It is concluded that it is not my family who made the medicine, I have to wait for someone to come out and ask." Yujian said: "If you ask, the matter will be worse?" Xiaoqiu said: "I would rather let my parents punish me, I can't I won't go in and have a look." Then, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.Yujian wanted to stop him, but it was too late.Moreover, when people want to go home to see their parents, there is no reason for him to stop them.Not only did he not go forward, but he had to take two steps back, watching the movement, and then the two fence gates opened.Then I saw the light flickering inside the door, and someone exclaimed, "The young master is back." Yu Jian was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do, but just looked from a distance.Following the light, Xiao Qiu stepped into the door and asked, "Is anyone in our family feeling unwell?" The man replied, "My wife is suffering from heat." He stopped and went straight inside. After arriving in the main room, there was no light on. The moonlight outside the courtyard circle shone on the ground of the main room, a large piece of dim yellow.The room inside is lit with lamps, and some faint light is reflected.In the moonlight, there was a bamboo couch, on which a person seemed to be sleeping. On the ground beside the couch, there were two or three mosquito-repellent incense burners.On a mud stove beside the chair, the charcoal fire is very hot, and the medicine pot is boiling.Xiaoqiu couldn't help herself, and called Mom from afar.Mrs. Li on the couch didn't have time to put on her shoes, so she stood on the ground with her socks, and said in amazement: "My child, why are you back?" Xiao Qiu hurried forward and asked: " Mom, why did you suffer from heatstroke?" Mrs. Li said, "I just got sick yesterday, how did you come back so fast?" At this time, Mrs. Li sat down, and the maid held the lamp and put it on the table. Xiaoqiu saw The mother's cheeks were pointed, and there were two blushes on the cheekbones, like charcoal, and it seemed that the fever had not subsided.Yin said: "Mother's illness is not serious?" Mrs. Li said: "This afternoon, I feel much more relaxed. Just take another dose of medicine and everything will be fine. It's nothing. I want to ask you how to get back to Sanhu Are you here?" Xiaoqiu hesitated and said, "Is father not at home?" Mrs. Li said: "Today, there is someone on the Qianbang on a date, and your father won't be back until twelve o'clock. What's your urgent matter, waiting to meet with you Did he say it?" Xiaoqiu was already sitting beside her mother on a bamboo chair, but suddenly she stood up with her hands down, as if waiting for a lesson. The Li family is a family of bureaucrats. Although the family rules of the feudal system are as refined as Li Qiupu's, there are still many of them unexpectedly.As soon as Mrs. Li saw him like this, she expected him to apologize.Then he frowned and said: "In the first half of this year, you can make a fuss. If it is in the hands of your grandfather, you will have half your life if you don't die. It was so easy to send you to the provincial capital. Your uncle sent a letter saying that you Very good, why did you make trouble again? You ran back." Xiaoqiu said: "There is no trouble, but this time I came back, things are presumptuous, I dare not tell the truth." Mrs. Li said: "You have to Tell me. Later, your father is back, so it’s okay if you don’t tell me? Why don’t you tell me first, and I can cover it up for you.” Xiaoqiu saw that the maid was not around, so she said that she came to Sanhu this time. Behavior, vaguely stated a general idea, and said that he would have slipped back to the province tomorrow morning.Because I smelled the smell of medicine outside the door, I was worried, so I had to go in boldly to have a look at my parents.Mrs. Li sat up early, patted the armrest of the chair and said: "You are too daring! If I am not sick, I will find a stick and teach you a lesson first. You are too daring!" Her fever On the cheekbones, the heat seemed to be more obvious, and he just patted his hand on the armrest of the chair.It was not easy for Xiaoqiu to see her mother getting so angry, and knowing that it would not be easy to calm down with words, she stood there blankly without making a sound.Mrs. Li was so angry that she also looked at him.He said: "Hmph! Looking at you like this, it seems that you are very timid, but why did you do such a thing? You are a little bit afraid, and you should have scrambled and sneaked back to Nanchang long ago. I don’t want to treat you as a pair of parents who look like paper, but dare to come back and speak directly. Sigh! You really pissed me off.” Xiaoqiu listened to her mother's voice, from haste to slowness, as if she was not enough to beat her, she said in a low voice: "Mom, please forgive me, it's not that I did such a thing, and dare to come back to boast, it's because I came to the door , Thinking of the two old people, I couldn't help but decide on my own, and was reluctant to leave. Besides, I smelled the medicine, I don't know who is sick, so why don't you come in and have a look." Mrs. Li fumbled for the hookah and matches under the chair, lit the paper media, Quietly smoked two bags of hookah, puffed out the smoke, and snorted again: "You asked me to tell you what is good for you, are you really planning to stand up here, and wait for your father to come back and settle accounts with you! You made it Since the boat is still at the ferry, you still don’t roll back to the boat. Before anyone knows, you sneak back to Nanchang, so as to save your father and your second uncle from being angry with you. I have no choice but to Keep it in mind." Xiao Qiu didn't dare to make a sound, just stood there blankly.Mrs. Li put down the hookah, patted the chair again and again and said, "Don't you understand? Your father's temper is getting worse, and no one can persuade you. You did such a thing. Could it be that your father will let it go after listening to it?" You can’t do it? You’re such an adult, you’re beaten to the point of bleeding, it doesn’t look very good, why don’t you go?” Xiaoqiu said: “I’m back, I don’t see my father…” Mrs. Li rushed to say: “Confused Worm, can you still let your father know about this? I have no choice but to be a villain for you and make an appointment with the old lady to hide your father. You can go first. Maybe your father will come back soon. Can I intercede for you? You go, don't make me anxious." Xiaoqiu saw her mother's anxious appearance, and then thought of her father's character, it really is not suitable to stand at home for a long time.Then he said: "Then, I'll go. It's just that Mom is not feeling well." Mrs. Li said: "You don't have to be hypocritical, I will recover from this illness tomorrow. If your father finds out and scolds and beats you, maybe you have to He was so angry that he became seriously ill. At that time, I was only getting sicker and sicker." As he spoke, he called out, "Where's Huang Delu?" Following the call, the servant Huang Delu came in from the outside.Mrs. Li said: "Your young master came from the province without telling the master. The master knows, that's great. You opened the door just now to let him in, but you still sent him on board. The moon is very good, and there is no need to light a lantern." You just send him away like this." Xiaoqiu said: "Then, I'm leaving. I'll write a letter when I get to the province, please don't worry." Mrs. Li said: "Humph! Don't worry. How can I be so relieved?" Qiu Ben was about to leave, but he stood still after hearing what his mother said.Mrs. Li said: "Aren't you leaving? My heart is still pounding. Huang Delu! Hurry up and send him away!" Xiaoqiu couldn't say anything more, bowed deeply to her mother, and followed the footman out of the door. After walking for more than ten steps, I heard the door ringing. When I looked back, the maid in the moon field caught up and said in a low voice: "Master, Madam said, tell Huang Delu what you want, and I will send it to you on the boat in the middle of the night. Let's go!" , there is a lantern behind, it means the master is back." Xiaoqiu didn't dare to say much, so she hurried back to the ferry, and when she got to the side of the tower, she saw Yujian still wandering in the moon field.He stepped forward and said, "God! Are you back? I sweated all over for you. What did the old man say when he saw you?" Xiaoqiu said: "My father is not at home, and my mother is still afraid that I will be beaten, so she told me to go back to the province quickly." Then, he told Huang Delu to go back, saying that there was nothing needed.Yu Jian said: "That's very good. I'm afraid that I will be dragged into the sea because of your affairs. My trouble is a finished situation. Let the family know, it will be even more serious." Qiu said: "Since I met you in the province, until now, I feel that what I have done is simply a dream. What happened today is changing all the time, and it is more like a dream. I have already supported these things. I can't stop, I'm going to get off the boat and go to sleep." The boatman woke up from his sleep, also surprised that they didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and urged them to get on the boat.When the two of them got on the boat, they both felt very tired. They spread out their quilts on the deck and went to sleep separately. He didn't know how long he had slept, but he heard someone calling out to the young master on the shore.At first I thought it was a dream, but the voice continued to yell until I woke up.When I opened my eyes, there was indeed a lantern dangling on the shore beside the bow.He sat up and asked, "Is it Huang Delu? I don't want anything. It's late at night, what else are you doing here?" Huang Delu said, "The master is back, please go home." Xiaoqiu couldn't help but listen As soon as he fell down, he rushed to the bow of the boat and asked, "Didn't you keep it from you?" Huang Delu said, "I'm afraid my wife told you?" Xiaoqiu said, "This is terrible, but I can't help it." Go back." Yu Jian woke up, climbed out of the cabin to discuss and said: "I dare not say such a thing to stop you from going back. But you have to think about it yourself." Huang Delu said: "Young master, go back, you If we don't go back, we don't dare to go back." Xiaoqiu looked behind him, there were still two people standing, if they didn't go, maybe they would come and tie them.This situation is very serious. Standing on the bow of the boat, I can't make a sound, because I can't do it if I don't go, and I don't dare to go.
