Xiuran used the one hundred guan note that Zhu Aifang gave him, and used his friend who was on duty in the government to make a fortune in a few days. In addition to the initial payment of 100 guan, he now has a capital of 300 taels of silver. These hundreds of taels of silver were not a small sum at that time. With the silver, Xiu Ran had confidence, he immediately wrote a small note on the matter and sent it to Qing Wan, and asked her when she could leave with him.
[1] "Xiayi" Su Shunqin. Poem
The other courtyard is deep in summer and clear,
The pomegranate blooms all over the transparent curtain;
In the afternoon when the trees are full of shade,
There is a sound when the warbler flows in the dream.
In the past few days, Xiuran has been staying in his residence and has not gone out. He has to wait for Qingwan's reply at any time.
The small courtyard is deep and quiet, and Xiuran is lying on the bamboo mat, feeling cool all over his body; the pomegranate flowers are in full bloom outside the window, and through the hanging bamboo curtains, the empty hall where he lives is red; the dense shade of trees cuts off the intrusion of summer heat. Full of confidence, Xiuran fell asleep comfortably.
It was noon, and he woke up. Suddenly, the sound of a flute came to my ears, like Huang Yinger's intermittent singing - it was a clear signal that Qing Wan told him that she would elope with him tomorrow.
Xiuran "suddenly" got up, thinking: I'm leaving, maybe I won't be able to return to the capital again. Why don't you just go home and say goodbye? But on second thought, forget it! Anyway, her stepmother is not her own mother; on weekdays, her two half-brothers don't treat her very well; only her younger sister, Shuxian, who was born to her stepmother, has a deep affection for her on weekdays. However, she has "aged to Ji", and is also engaged to the eldest grandson of Sun Yinglin's family, the minister of punishment, and will get married in a few years If she goes back, the siblings will be in tears. If a flaw is revealed, wouldn't it ruin his own affairs? It's better to lie on the bed and have a good rest, so that tomorrow you will have more energy to take your family and go away.
[2] "Looking for Children Returning" Anonymous
? Yesterday it was snowing in front of the window, today I hear the sound of rain;
How many times does the flower fall when I am sick and look forward to my son's return?
After Qingwan finished sending the message and received Xiuran's response, she returned to her show building with peace of mind, packing up the valuables that she was about to take away.
Suddenly, the servant girl Cai Ning hurried upstairs with her servant from her natal family.
When the servant saw the young lady, he burst into tears and said: "Madam is dying, tell the young lady to go back quickly"
Upon hearing this, Qing Wan slumped down on the chair.
Cai Ning hurriedly helped Qing Wan up, and the servant also went to help, dragging Qing Wan down the stairs after mopping the floor. When I walked to the courtyard, I happened to meet my mother-in-law who was also going back to her natal home to visit her sister-in-law who was about to pass away.
The mother-in-law is Qingwan's little aunt. When Qing Wan's mother got married, her little aunt was still very young, and she heard that she had just learned to walk. After her grandmother passed away, Qingwan's mother brought up her little aunt. Therefore, the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law has always been very good.
Qingwan and her mother-in-law boarded the carriage sent by her natal family to pick them up. The coachman whipped his whip and drove straight towards Yu's mansion.
As soon as she arrived at her natal home, Qing Wanniang met Qing Wan's mother-in-law first. The sister-in-law and sister-in-law talked for a long time in Qingwan's mother's room. After the mother-in-law came out with tears in her eyes, the mother called Qing Wan into the house.
Yu Bai lay haggard on the bed, tears left crooked marks on her dry face. Qingwan's heart suddenly had a feeling of air leaking everywhere.
The mother raised her weak hand and stretched it out to her daughter. Qingwan rushed over, grabbed it all at once, and lay down beside her mother's bed, crying bitterly.
The mother gently stroked her daughter's face with her hand and said:
"When it was snowing, I married you off; today, when it was raining, my mother called you back again.
When a woman comes to this world, there are too many difficulties That incident made my body dirty and my mother lost her chastity, so I lived in the world without face.
I wanted to kill myself, but I couldn't do that because of your brother Your brother is only three years old, how can mother let him lose his education when he is young?
It's a pity, God insisted on taking my life.
Death, for mother, is not terrible! Because my heart is clean Anyway, after I die, I will go to heaven Only those women who have cheated on women and have a dirty heart will go to hell.
To me, 'the quality is originally clean and clean when it comes'.
When death comes, keep your soul beautiful, so that you can face back to heaven.
Although, I married you to your cousin.
He is a young child, you are very unwilling and dislike itbut what can mother do? Who told us that we were born at the wrong time and encountered misfortune!
Chastity, for a family, is more important than life? Which big family is willing to marryAre we going through the door?
Wan'er, this is fate!
Therefore, what you like the most is not necessarily the best; the best is not necessarily the most suitable; the most suitable is what you cherish the most. "
When my mother said these words, she was very calm. The calm before death made Qing Wan feel a little scared.
The mother came again slowly:
"After I leave, if your father has a conscience, he may be able to "decline" for me for a year or so But your father will always continue You also know that your father has already had a concubine outside. That is your great-aunt Zhenshi[1].
The Zhen family is not a kind person Besides, she is the eldest son born to your father When she passes through the family, how can she tolerate your younger brother?
For mother's sake, after I leave, you take your brother into your home, educate him, raise him Don't worry about your mother-in-law just now, I have already agreed with her"
Qingwan asked worriedly: "My father-in-law and Aunt Zhen are brothers and sisters, how could he not be with Zhen's?"
The mother said: "When you get married, half of the dowry property will also be shared by your younger brother"
Qingwan asked again: "Will my father-in-law take all of my dowry?"
The mother took out a piece of letterhead from under the pillow and said, "This is an agreement, and it is clearly stated on it. But" The mother sighed again, "'Man dies for money, and birds die for food.' The agreement is just a scrap of paper for those who break their promises."
Qingwan said: "Mother also thinks father-in-law is unreliable?"
"Who can see through people's hearts?" The mother said again, "The Buddha said, 'Money is something outside the body'. Mother doesn't have too many demands on you, I just hope that you can save your brother's life Wan'er , can you promise mother?"
Qing Wan nodded firmly.
The mother smiled and said: "Then, mother will die and rest in peace"
At the end of the next day, Mrs. Liu Bai passed away. ? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
