The next day, as Ah Luo said, it rained continuously for half a month, and finally cleared up.
The sunlight hits the glazed tiles of the British government house and refracts into the yard. The shadows of the trees are mottled and the sun is shining brightly.
After serving the master in Pine Garden, the maids couldn't wait to pick up the five-color ropes and dance hundreds of ropes in the yard. The maidservants in pink and blue skirts shuttled between the ropes, laughing and laughing, with light postures. One of the servant girls was even more powerful. She could kick the shuttlecock while skipping rope. She kicked the shuttlecock into the air, turned over in the rope, stretched her long legs back, and caught the shuttlecock firmly.
The servants applauded in unison. The management of the British government is not strict, as long as you do your job well and tell your master, it doesn't matter if you play occasionally.
When the maids were dancing with high spirits, suddenly a little girl wearing a mask with green face and fangs jumped out from under the tung tree, and opened her arms towards them, "Wow wow—"
A few servant girls were caught off guard and were taken aback by her. There was also a timid one who plopped and sat on the ground, his face turned pale with fright!
There was a crisp laughter from under the mask, and Wei Luo laughed out loud, panting and pointing at the maid on the ground, "Sister Jinge is a coward!"
Jin Ge slowly stood up from the ground, patted the dirt on his clothes, a little embarrassed: "Miss Si is bullying people again..."
The little girl raised her hand to untie the rope at the back of her head, and took off her mask, revealing first a pair of radiant black pupils, then a small Qiong nose, and pink and tender lips, it turned out to be a face carved from jade . She was wearing a delicate green skirt with a pattern of persimmon stalks, and she was standing under the tung tree with a smile on her face. You have been there several times, but you are always scared by me, is it because I bully you, or are you too stupid?"
She is only six years old, but she has a sharp tongue, and when she is unreasonable, no one can talk to her.
Jin Ge was speechless, and ran away blushing.
Standing under the eaves, Wei Luo seemed to see her former self.
That was something she would do before, childish to death.
She remembered the scene of this day clearly. She wore a mask to frighten a bunch of people, and then her father and Mrs. Du came over, Mrs. Du coaxed her with a few words, and took her out of the house alone, leaving Wei Zheng at home. At that time, she should have felt strange that Mrs. Du loved Wei Zheng so much, and would always take her by her side in everything. How could she be willing to keep her when the Shangsi Festival was so lively
It turned out that it was all planned, did Dad know about it? She was almost killed by Mrs. Du back then, how did he react
Wei Luo didn't know, anyway, she hated Wei Kun, hated him for marrying Xu Xian early, hated him for not telling her who her biological mother was, and even more hated him for letting herself call a cruel woman her mother. She raised her hands and threw the blue-faced fangs mask on the steps, the mask split in two.
The servants in the courtyard were all startled by the sound, and all stopped their movements to look at her.
But she felt very happy, and even jumped up and stepped on it twice, until the mask was torn apart, and she stopped. That mask was given to her by her father during the Shangyuan Festival. She is a playful person. This mask is very suitable for her appetite. She will take it out every three days to scare people, as if it is a treasure. Now she didn't want it at all, she just wanted to destroy it.
"A Luo, why did you throw away the mask?"
A serious question came from behind. Wei Luo turned her head and saw two people standing under the veranda not far away, one was her father Wei Kun, and the other was her stepmother Du Shi. It was Wei Kun who spoke just now.
Wei Kun was wearing a purple straight gown with a purple bamboo leaf pattern, with a stern face, but deep in his eyes was doting. He stepped forward, "Don't you like the mask that Daddy gave you the most?"
Wei Luo ignored him, lowered her head and stepped on the mask again, as if she didn't hear his question.
Wei Kun bent down to pick her up, bent his lips and said with a smile: "Did someone make our Ah Luo angry? Tell Daddy, Daddy will vent his anger on you."
Standing a few steps away, Mrs. Du was wearing an embroidered gold silk hibiscus beige, a short blouse and a hazy purple thread skirt. She was originally smiling, but after seeing Wei Kun doting on Wei Luo so much, the smile on her face was a bit cold.
Wei Luo lay on Wei Kun's shoulder, and could just see the change in her expression.
In the past, she was young and didn't understand the ways of the world, even if she saw it, she wouldn't think too much about it. But it's different now, when she looks at Du Shi, she can feel her hypocrisy everywhere.
Wei Luo rubbed Wei Kun's shoulder affectionately, with a soft voice, complaining pitifully, "Dad doesn't come to see me when Ah Luo is sick, dad doesn't love Ah Luo anymore..."
It turned out to be because of this.
How could Wei Kun not love her? It was because he loved her that he sat on the bedside for a day and a night when she was sick, and he didn't leave until she woke up. This little heartless girl only knew that she couldn't see him after waking up, but she didn't know how many times he had come here when she was asleep. Wei Kun sighed, "It's Daddy's fault, Daddy should visit you more often. Ah Luo should have thrown the mask, it's all Daddy's fault."
Wei Luo raised her head and saw that Du Shi's expression became even uglier.
Wei Kun spoils her so much, she has a sense of crisis, right? Was it because he was afraid that she would steal Wei Zheng's favor, so he couldn't wait to sell her
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Dad really dotes on her more than Wei Zheng, why? Both are his daughters, is there any difference
Wei Luo thought for a while, and the source should be her biological mother.
Wei Luo had no impression of her biological mother. She heard from her fourth aunt that her mother died not long after she and Chang Hong were born. Outsiders said that she died of hemorrhage after childbirth, but the fourth aunt said that her mother was not dead, but she didn't want them, and went to a place where no one could find her. The fourth aunt also said that Daddy loved A-Niang very much. He loved her to no end. He knelt in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights in order to get the Duke of England to allow him to marry her. In the end, he passed out from starvation. he.
I heard that after getting married, my father almost doted on A Niang to the sky, and the two lived in harmony and beauty. Later, I don't know what happened, and A Niang left after giving birth to her and Chang Hong. Dad was crazy at the beginning, looking everywhere for A Niang's whereabouts, but after three months of searching to no avail, he married Mrs. Du as a follow-up, and gave birth to Wei Zheng nine months later.
Does he still have A Niang in his heart? Does he still remember what A Niang looks like
Wei Luo buried herself in Wei Kun's neck and sneered. She had never met her biological mother, and she didn't have much affection for her. The only thing that touched me was probably wanting to know why she abandoned her husband and son back then.
"If the mask is broken, it's broken. It just so happens that I'm going to take Ah Luo out today, so I'll buy you a new one, okay?" Shi Du couldn't get in the way just now, seeing Wei Luo calm down, he couldn't help suggesting with a smile.
Wei Luo looked up at her, her eyes were cold, not at all like the eyes a child should have. Mrs. Du was stunned suddenly, inexplicably startled by this look, and when she was about to take a closer look, Ah Luo had already changed into a sweet smile: "Daddy, can you come with me? Ah Luo hasn't gone out with Daddy for a long time, I want to Let Daddy accompany me."
No matter how Du Shi looked at her, he couldn't find her expression just now. Could it be that he was dazzled
Wei Kun patted her head regretfully, "I'm going to the Imperial Academy in a while, so I can't go out with you."
Wei Kun is a Jinshi who passed the examination a few years ago, and now he is a scholar of the Imperial Academy. He is busy studying every day and preparing for the exam, so he is often away from home all day. In the past few days, he spent a lot of time at home. It was also because Wei Luo was sick. He was worried and wanted to stay and take care of her, so he stayed for a while.
Du Shi on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Luo smiled inwardly, and hugged Wei Kun tightly on purpose: "Then Daddy will take me to the Imperial Academy?"
Wei Kun thought she was reluctant to part with him, so he was both happy and helpless, "Daddy is on business, what does it look like to take you there? Obediently go out with mother, and I'll be back after you go to Huguo Temple to offer incense. "
return? If she really went obediently, would she still have a chance to come back
Wei Luo tilted her head, and finally looked directly at Du Shi, "Sister Jinlu said that my illness is still not cured, and I'm going to the street to get another two doses of medicine. The prescription is at Mother Fu's place, ma'am, I can bring Sister Jinlu and Mother Fu Shall we go together?"
Jin Lu is her most trusted maid, and Fu Mu Ye is the woman who raised her since she was a child. Both of them are devoted and loyal to her. With the two of them here, she would definitely not watch something happen to her. In her previous life, she believed in the wrong person and went out with the Golden Pavilion and Golden Ci. Unexpectedly, these two servant girls were bought by Du Shi long ago. At the critical moment, she ignored her as the master and watched her being killed by Du Shi. , I just hid aside and shivered.
Du Shi was stunned, "What did you call me?"
Wei Luo repeated, "Ma'am!"
Du Shi looked at Wei Kun helplessly, and frowned, "What's wrong with this child, she used to be called mother, why did she suddenly change her tune today? Is the servant girl talking nonsense to her?"
Wei Kun also asked her what was going on, and she seemed to understand, and said: "The fourth aunt said that I have a mother, but the wife is not my mother." She grabbed Wei Kun's clothes, raised her head and asked innocently: "Daddy?" , who is my mother?"
Du Shi seemed to have been slapped, and the calmness on his face could no longer be maintained.
She knew that before she married Wei Kun, he had a regular wife. Because her natal family had the support of Uncle Zhongyi's family, no one would dare to mention her regular wife Jiang Miaolan in front of her, but now that Ah Luo said it outright, she had to say that she was still very nervous.
A look of pain flashed in Wei Kun's eyes, and he quickly returned to normal, "Ah Luo is obedient, your wife is your mother, you can't ask this question again in the future."
Are there any mothers who strangled their daughters to death
Ah Luo's eyes were cold, and she made up her mind that even if her mother didn't want her and Chang Hong anymore, she would never call Du Shi "mother" again.
The streets of Shengjing City are prosperous. Since the founding of Daliang, Emperor Chongzhen has governed the country well, with clear rewards and punishments, and managed Shengjing City and several other important cities in an orderly manner. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the streets are becoming more and more prosperous. You can hear the voices of merchants and restaurants on both sides of the road while sitting in a carriage.
After Wei Luo followed Mrs. Du out, she sat by the window, lifted half of the curtain embroidered with dark patterns of gold, and stared at the street without turning her eyes.
Mrs. Du thought she was a child at heart and was curious about things on the street, so she didn't care much about her and let her go. As long as she thinks that this thorn in the side and thorn in the flesh will be removed in a while, she can't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
What she hated most these years was Wei Luo and her younger brother Wei Changhong, but for the sake of her virtuous reputation, she had to put on a smile and be obedient and kind to the two of them in every possible way. In fact, she has long been bored, as long as she sees these two children, she will be reminded that she is just a second wife to fill in the house, like a needle stuck in her heart, making her sleep uncomfortable.
Especially Wei Luo, Wei Kun's love for her made her unbearable.
In addition, Wei Luo is clever and clever, and Yuxue is cute. She stole the limelight in front of the Duke and took Wei Zheng's brilliance away. How could she not be jealous? Although Sister Zheng is not mediocre, but compared to Wei Luo, she is still far behind.
Mrs. Du thinks long-term, in order for Sister Zheng to have a smooth life in the future and be married to a good family, she has to get rid of Wei Luo first, sell her away, and never come back. As for that little boy Wei Changhong... Let's find a way to deal with it after she gives birth to a son.
