The moon sets and the stars sink, and the sky is faintly lit.
The several cars of the Gu family stopped slowly beside a tea house. The driver knocked on the door and asked the old couple who sold the tea to boil water. Everyone cleaned their faces, rinsed their mouths, and poured a pot of water. After tea, Meimei brought out a food box with pastries in the car, so that everyone can eat something to satisfy their hunger.
Gu Xiran looked at Mother Du and Aunt Yun whose eyes were swollen from crying, and then smiled slightly: "Congratulations on your mother and daughter reunion."
Mother Du opened her mouth, and the tears flowed uncontrollably, but she was not sad, but extremely happy. While wiping her tears, she looked at Aunt Yun with loving eyes, and sighed: "I never thought that there would be such a thing. one day… "
"Mother." Aunt Yun was calmer than her, picked a piece of walnut cake and handed it to her: "Let's eat something first."
How could Du's mother have the desire to eat? The accumulation of suffering for more than ten years and the joy of reunion gave her a desire to confide, and only by talking non-stop could she suppress the restless excitement. So all these years of searching, hope and disappointment, all turned into words, and came out of her mouth.
At the end, she handed a handkerchief to Shu Huan with trembling hands: "It's this handkerchief. She was caught playing with it the day she was kidnapped. When I finished my work and went out, I couldn't find her." Aunt Liu next door said that she had seen her squatting in front of the door and counting the plum blossoms on the handkerchief, but if she didn’t see her, she would disappear..."
Shu Huan took it and saw that it was a white satin handkerchief. It seems that Du Mu's previous family background was pretty good.
One corner of the handkerchief is embroidered with red plums, the embroidery is very delicate, but after so many years, the brilliance of the red plums has long faded, and there are still many places on the handkerchief that are worn out and stains that cannot be washed off, showing the unique dark yellow of the years Ze.
Du's mother was still sighing: "Even if this veil is burned to ashes, I can still recognize it. It's hard for her child. After so many years, she still keeps it... You know, she was only three years old..."
Everyone was listening, all silent.
They can feel this kind of feeling, but they don't feel any skin pain. They just feel that any words they say seem a little light and pale, but Du's mother suddenly remembered something, stood up, and was about to bow down to Shu Huan and Gu Xiran, mourning : "I only have such a daughter, and I beg my second master and second grandmother to treat her well in the future because of the hardships she has suffered since she was a child."
This means prudent entrustment, but it is very difficult for Shu Huan and Gu Xiran, both of them came halfway, and it is already very difficult to live as the original owner, and then they have to carry a pile of heavy troubles for the original owner It is better to die, not to mention that Aunt Yun has a hard life, but there is no reason why others should treat her unconditionally because of her hard life.
Shu Huan stepped forward to help Du's mother up, Gu Xiran said in a deep voice, "Your meaning, Master Du has already conveyed it just now, I just want to say, she wants to stay in Gu's house, food and clothing will not be a loss to her, but for other matters please Forgive me for not being able to do it, she can only live in silence for the rest of her life, if she wants to find someone else to marry, I will return the deed of sale and add a dowry to her."
Words and sentences, clear to the ear.
Even though the coachman and the maid were not in front of her, when she heard these words, Aunt Yun still felt ashamed to see people anymore, she bit her lip tightly and lowered her head.
In fact, she has given up any hope for a long time, but it is so difficult to forget her feelings, and she still feels sad.
Du's mother opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't expect him to speak so bluntly without any room for change, she unconsciously looked at Shu Huan, and begged, "Second Grandma... I know that your husband and wife are deeply in love, so you don't ask for anything else." I just want her to give birth to a child, so that in the future, there will be someone who will keep her company and burn paper for her... "
Shu Huan felt a little sad when she heard what she said, but she has her bottom line, and this matter must not be tolerated.
Gu Xiran was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he rushed to the side and said: "Sorry, I don't want to..."
He waited to say more, but Shu Huan stopped him.
Shu Huan looked at Mother Du, and shook her head firmly: "Mother Du, there are tens of millions of roads in the world. If this road fails, you can find another one. Yanniang is still a perfect body, just in time to find another lover while she is young. You Why let her spend her lonely life?"'
Mother Du's eyes widened, she was extremely surprised: "You said she is still... still a perfect body?"
Before Shu Huan could answer, Aunt Yun was too embarrassed to lift her head, she grabbed Mother Du and left: "Mom, it's getting late, we have to hurry, let's talk about these things later when we have free time."
Seeing Mother Du being dragged back to the car by Aunt Yun step by step, Du Qiu squinted at Gu Xiran: "Really?"
Gu Xiran looked back at the past calmly: "What do you think?"
Du Qiu nodded: "Very good, I'll persuade you to go."
Gu Xiran smiled wryly. It turned out that traveling to ancient times and not wanting to be a stud man was not an easy task.
Ji Danqing smiled gently at the side, and called out: "Second Lord."
"how?"
"If you need any medicine in the future, just ask."
Gu Xiran was slightly startled, and when he was about to refute in a rage, Ji Danqing had already returned to the car.
Seeing him walking away, Shu Huan couldn't hold back any longer, and burst out laughing, but what he got in return was Gu Xiran squinting angrily: "Lady"
"Ah?" Shu Huan sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly suppressed a smile.
Gu Xiran said with a half smile but not a smile: "Shall we make a couple in bed tonight?"
Shu Huan didn't realize it for a while, and was taken aback, but then he remembered the last three lines of the poem, which came from a certain famous stand-alone game, it was a famous crooked poem, extremely explicit
Unconsciously, her face became hot, she lowered her head and let out a "Pooh", and got into the car as if fleeing.
When the sky brightened, they drove all the way. When it was almost noon, the car had already driven into Sedum City. Gu Xiran told the driver to stop the car at Ji Danqing's residence. After a while, Yin Yin reminded her for a long time, until Shu Huan promised to take her into the house to see Aunt Yun after the funeral of the Gu family was over, she stood by the door and watched them leave reluctantly.
The car finally approached the main gate of Gu's house. Shu Huan lifted the curtain to take a look. Not far away, the gate of the mansion was opened. A lantern made of white paper was raised on the top of the gate. The funeral couplet was newly replaced. The one with the filial piety bowed his head and stood silently in front of the door, showing an unusual coldness and desolation.
Looking back at Gu Xiran again, seeing him nodding, Shu Huan took out the bottle of all-purpose chili water, first dabbed a little on his eyelids, then wiped his own, and then took out the handkerchief to cover it halfway. After waiting for the car to stop, he followed Gu Xiran out of the car.
"Second Master, you are finally back"
"Second Grandma"
"Quick, hurry up, report a letter to Taijun first"
…
Those young servants surrounded them, and before they could speak carefully, they surrounded them and rushed into the mansion.
At this moment, a sob choked up.
Shu Huan slightly raised his eyelids, and saw Aunt Yun's tears rolling down like loose pearls beside her, and with her red and swollen eyes from crying all night, she looked extremely mournful, I don't know if she was originally sad , or the mood changes quickly.
