Hexi

Chapter 66 I advise you not to bother her

The room was so quiet that even the wind had died down.

The sunlight slanting in from the window is like a piece of plaster sticking on the house——somewhere in the house is sick, but there are plasters everywhere.

Su Shou was still sitting upright, but because she was too upright, she seemed to be out of her soul, so she insisted on standing there in a daze.

He has never denied the fact that he has become a father, but in the first 12 years, the growth of his children has changed in leaps and bounds in his heart. Every time he comes back, they become different.Every time they meet, his previous impression is being refreshed by their new appearance.He was used to such changes, so even in the past three years, he never paid attention to them.

He gave them good conditions, let them receive relatively the best education, and the rest, he habitually ignored.So much so that the impression of this daughter, the first 15 years combined, is not as deep as the moment in front of me-that Su Wei who always just hooks her head to salute when she meets, is she like this?
He was caught off guard.At the same time, there is also some inexplicable sullenness.It was as if a curtain that had been hanging for a long time was suddenly pulled open, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Many shadows flashed in his mind like a revolving lantern, and he subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he raised his head from behind the torn curtain, there were only a few pieces of "plaster" left in front of him, as the instigator. Su Luo, but I don't know when she has left...

Su Luo stepped out of the main courtyard, her steps were extremely slow.She looked at the plants and trees in the courtyard, her mood was a calmness crushed by the long years.

What should be excited, has already been excited in the previous life.It's not that I want to argue with him, it's just that the facts are too ironic, and I can't help but point it out.Three years later, his rejection of Mrs. Xie was still the same as before, and he couldn't even hear a few words of "mother" from her, their biological daughter.How could it be blamed for her to blame most of the responsibility for Xie Shi's death on him?
After all, on the eve of the accident, he had a dispute with Mrs. Xie.

In detail, she didn't actually look forward to his return afterwards.He kept filial piety for his grandfather for more than 20 months, and he stayed in Beijing for more than 20 months.During those months, he used the name of keeping filial piety, and he never got close to Xie Shi.

The few times he had to go together, he didn't have any joy on his face—of course, he didn't have any joy when he walked with the current Xu family.But Mrs. Xie still hoped that his children would have his father's attention, so he repeatedly lowered his body and approached him, but he just regarded it as a disgusting behavior?

That night, Mrs. Xie again asked him to stay and raise his children together for the sake of their grown-ups, but he refused and insisted on carrying out Ding You's will to return to his post as an official and prepare his luggage.

Su Luo could see clearly in the dark.Seeing how humble Xie Shi, who usually looks elegant, humbled himself.

The next morning, Mrs. Xie begged him one last time, begging him to follow Mrs. Zhang Ge's suggestion to stay in Beijing for a post, and to find a husband for her who was getting older along the way.He didn't budge an inch, and got into the carriage without hesitation.He walked so resolutely, it seems that his wife and children blocked his future.

It would be fine if he persisted in his determination as a foreigner, but Xie died, and he was stopped by the chasing servants on the way to report the news and rushed back to attend the funeral. He changed his mind and stayed in Beijing under the pretext that his children were young and needed care middle.Even after the death of his wife for more than a year, he continued the string again.

He has a heart of stone, so why is it that she speaks like a needle?
All wanton abusers will be punished.

A cloth handkerchief folded into tofu cubes was held out by a small thin hand.

Su Luo focuses on the focus, looks along the hand, and meets the owner of the handkerchief.

"The handkerchief has just been washed and hasn't been used yet. The eldest girl doesn't dislike it, just take it and wipe it."

Aji stood in front of her, and beside her was a small flower pot.

Su Wei raised her head and looked around, only to realize that she had returned to Qiyuyuan. She was sitting on the corridor railing in the courtyard, and under her dangling feet was a patio filled with water.

She looked back at Aji, stayed on her face for a moment, took the veil, and wiped off the wetness on her face.

There is a saponin fragrance on the handkerchief, which is the smell of the fields.

She said, "How long have you been staring at me?"

Aji quickly waved his hand: "I didn't stare at the girl. I came out to water the flowers just now. I saw the girl sitting alone by the bamboo forest, so I came over to have a look. ——Girl, I really didn't mean it, please forgive me .”

Su Luo looked sideways at her, then turned around and jumped off the railing.

"Can you write?"

"……Less likely."

"You will be punished for writing three copybooks every day, so go to Fusang to ask for them. After [-] days of fine, bring them to me."

Aji looked at her blankly, then lowered his head: "Oh."

Sure enough, begging for mercy is useless, and you still have to be punished.But since entering the Su Mansion, I haven't had a chance to practice calligraphy with a pen, so I can practice again!
Thinking of this, she stepped briskly over the threshold to find Fusang who was busy in the kitchen yard at this time.

As soon as she walked out of the yard, she almost bumped into a person in the corner. After standing still, she was about to make amends, but when she saw the person coming, she paused again: "Second master?"

Su Qi didn't expect it to be Aji, since he hadn't come to Qiyuyuan since the last time he met in the garden, and he didn't have a chance to meet Aji, so he was really surprised to meet him at this time.He quickly looked at her: "how are you? Did my sister bully you? Where are you going in such a hurry? "

Aji shook his head like a rattle: "The big girl didn't bully me. No one bullied me. Every morning and evening after I watered the flowers, Sister Hibiscus took me to be a female celebrity. I will patch it now! ——But , I don’t need to patch now either!”

She said and picked up her sleeves to show him: "I have a lot of clothes. Sister Fusang said that the house will distribute new clothes every season, so I don't have to worry about wearing them."

Su Qi followed her prompts to look at her, and saw that she was indeed wearing clean and well-fitting clothes. Although it was a maid's dress, it was quite different from before.

And her face also looked rounder and ruddy. Although it was still not fair, it showed a healthy complexion.

Right now, the dark circles under my eyes due to hard work and lack of sleep are gone, and my eyes seem to be refreshed, and even my withered hair has become shiny!

It's a big change.

Is this really what the little maid Su Luo should look like when she sold herself forcibly and bought her back?
Su Qi couldn't understand.

Aji asked him curiously: "Second Master, what are you doing here?"

"Oh," Su Qi scratched his head, then poked his head to look at the main room: "Su...what is my sister doing?"

Aji opened his eyes wide: "Are you looking for a big girl?"

"she is not here?"

"Yes, yes," Aji sighed, "it's just that the eldest girl is in a bad mood at the moment, I advise you to leave her alone."
