Chapter 3 Such a Sad Cousin Girl! (2)

The 13-and-a-half-year-old cousin's eyes were dull, thinking of her own situation, and thinking of the secrets she overheard a few maidservants talking about at night, she was shocked and couldn't believe it!

Looking at the moonlight tonight, the poem I read before was not suitable for the occasion. The cousin slowly read: "Looking for the search, it is deserted, desolate and miserable. When it is warm and cold, the last Difficult to rest. Three cups and two light wine, how can I fight against him, and the wind comes late. The geese pass by, the saddest, but they are old acquaintances. The yellow flowers are piled up all over the ground, haggard and worn, who can pick them now? Watch the window How can it be dark alone? The phoenix tree is even more drizzle, and at dusk, it will be dribs and drabs. This time, how can there be a word of worry!"

After reading this poem describing Li Qingzhao's most difficult period, Sister Hui on the bed cried bitterly. The depressive crying was unbearable to comfort. I only hope that after crying, she can face her future life positively!

It's a pity that the cousin girl Ye Qinhui is so sad every day. It has been nearly three years since she lived in the Lu family's grandfather's house in Ren'anbo Mansion, and she is like this every day.

But after a long time, this cousin girl can't take care of the yard, the whole yard is in a mess, she doesn't know how to deal with the world, she cries every day, and she doesn't know how to run a family and manage money. The eldest aunt cheated most of them.

Moreover, those people who came from Ye's house to take care of them were all driven back to Ye's house by the eldest lady. Only the nanny's daughter, Xiuyan, and Qing Xing, an orphan rescued by Sister Hui's mother from the original city, were still guarding her. Cousin, everyone else has driven away.

In the beginning, there were people in Lu's family who were worried about her illness and came to take care of her, and they knew that she would get some benefits by letting her hands loose. Later, when they saw that she was not good at running the business, and the oil and water were getting less and less, they all became impatient.

Especially after she read a few broken books, she thought that her cousin didn't like those philistine women the most, so she simply gave the money sent by the Ye family to her aunt every month, so that those who wanted to take advantage of it, They all went to curry favor with Mrs. Fan, and this girl Ye Biao was gradually forgotten.

And the tacky gold and silver jewelry and valuable things she herself disliked, were borrowed by the girls of Lu's family in this way and in other ways, and they disappeared.

When she knew that her cousin was worried about managing money in order to study in the Imperial College, she was coaxed by her cousin's sweet words, and she handed over the management of the Zhuangzi shop to her cousin, hoping that she could marry her cousin in the future. Sometimes, these things will become my cousin's help. For my beloved cousin, I am willing to risk my life.

Maybe Sister Hui couldn't imagine that her accomplishments were the basis for making her useless in the back house, and she was heading for the end. In the end, only some slaves were willing to ask for a reward, and she had to watch the girl be happy not happy.

If there is another person in the Lu family who is really kind to her, it is Lu Daihan, the daughter of the second room of the Lu family. Perhaps it is the reason why they are more similar. Dai Han's mother Dong has passed away for many years, and the current second room Xu is very dissatisfied with her. Okay, but Dai Han still made himself better for Xu Shi to see.

Therefore, Dai Han would often come to see Sister Hui, and was annoyed that the uncle's family had bullied too much and made Cousin Hui look like this.

The cousin girl who was still crying at this time didn't feel that it would hurt her body at all. Such a beautiful face was full of crystal tears, maybe she often shed tears, and her dark eyes couldn't tell how charming she was, love A woman who cries for a long time does not necessarily get pity from others, it may be bored.

The cousin girl Ye Qinhui was like this. She would cry for a long time every day looking at the flowers and leaves, watching the sunrise and sunset. She was reading some desolate poems, and she mourned even more, her grief was unstoppable, and she cried bitterly.

So most people can only see the cousin girl Ye Qinhui's eyes are red, swollen and bloodshot, and under the eyelids and around the nose are red, which greatly damages the delicate appearance. They say that crying women are the ugliest, or it is appropriate to use it here.

She looked extremely pale, she was out of breath from crying, and her body was extremely weak, and she kept at least a dozen tear-wiping veils in her hands every day. It's hard for anyone to say a few more words to her.

Looking inside the room, there is only a canopy bed made of poplar wood. The carving is not very good, and the materials are not very particular. , there is no embroidery on it.

Only on the lonely dressing table, there is a golden nanmu jewelry box. I heard that this is an imperial gift. When the box is opened, there is a clear mirror on the top layer. This is still rare in Qiguo. Although there are many lying in it Gold and silver ornaments, but they may have been left out for a long time, and they are much duller, and there are some dust in some places.

There are only a few jade hairpins on the dressing table that are much shiny, which may be the reason why they are often worn. There is also a lonely tea tray on the table in the room. There are only four blue and white porcelain teacups on it. This is the favorite tea set of the cousin Ye Qinhui. .

If you want to say that the most precious things of this cousin girl are the gadgets brought by the young master of the Lu family, as well as some rare books of poems. These things are placed on the shelf, and no one is allowed to move them. The cousin girl takes care of them herself every day.

But the rest of the house was not cleaned up very cleanly. There was already a thick layer of dust in many dead corners. Xiuyan and Qingxing couldn't keep busy at all, and Mother Ye was driven back to Ye's house. It would be nice to take good care of Miss Hui.

The other maids from the Lu family don’t care if they don’t want to be watch girls on such a cold day. They don’t know where they are hiding now, eating wine and playing cards. Originally, it was Mama Wang who was on duty today. This old woman is the most slippery, she refuses to face the crying cousin girl, she has long since disappeared.

If ordinary people see these things, they will definitely think that the cousin girl Ye Qinhui is a child who is dependent on others to receive such cold treatment, then they are wrong!

Originally, she could live in the Sanjin house next to Lu's house. It was specially purchased by Master Ye for Sister Hui, just to make her life better, but Sister Hui didn't appreciate it, and she wanted to move to Qinghua Pavilion, a cold and dilapidated place. The place, the reason only she knows best.

That is, this place is the closest to the Changqing Pavilion in the outer courtyard of the eldest cousin, and the cousin specially made a wind chair for himself, that is, a seat for two people to swing on. It is very comfortable and can fly high. Sometimes I can still see my cousin who studies hard.

Such a poor child, his father is on official business, and he is a second-rank official in Yuancheng in the northern part of Qiguo. His mother sacrificed to save the people in the city, and he was named a first-rank wife of Zhenlie by the Holy Lord. The only daughter of the Hou Mansion, who is also the only heir of the Hou Mansion, it is not an exaggeration to say that she has gold in her arms, how could she be a poor person who lives under the fence?
