Chapter 294 The Tao is affectionate but ruthless
Chapter 294
The flowers and trees along the path leading to the back garden are flourishing, and the night wind blows, sending a faint fragrance of vegetation. Song Nan walked slowly to the back garden. He knew that Dai Suer's habit was to play a song in the pavilion of the back garden and stay quietly for a while.
Song Nan returned to Beijing in the past few days. On the one hand, she was unwilling to move in the recuperation stage, and on the other hand, it was due to some things she didn't want to face. Today, when she heard the sound of the flute, Song Nan, who was in trouble, added another bit of trouble, and she was extremely irritable.
The sound curled, and it seemed to be an invisible silk thread leading Song Nan's footsteps. In the dark, there was a lamp on the stone steps in front of the back garden, and the two figures stood there with a lantern. The two people heard Song Nan's footsteps and hurriedly raised the lantern to take care of them and found that it was Song Nan who saluted: "I have seen Mr. Song!"
Song Nan knew that it was Dai Suer's wet nurse and close maid Wan'er. The two obviously did not want to disturb Dai Suer, so they stayed at the gate of the garden to wait.
Song Nan asked, "Is your lady in the garden?"
Wan'er whispered, "Yes, does Mr. Song want to talk to my young lady? Did the little maid go to inform her?"
Song Nan waved his hand and said, "I'll go by myself. Don't bother you."
Wan'er lowered her hand and stood aside. Song Nan stepped on the stone steps and walked to the garden. Wan'er suddenly whispered, "Mr. Song, my lady said that we will leave Song's house in a few days, right?"
Song Nan nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor has personally promised to remove your daughter's slave status. Your lady is no longer the slave of my Song family. The documents will be delivered by the Japanese teaching workshop department. Are you free in the future? Are you happy?"
Wan'er looked a little strange and said, "Open...happy, no wonder...no wonder."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Of course, your daughter is also happy. She has regained her freedom and no longer has to carry her lowly status. I will give you money to help you go back to your hometown in Nanjing. There will definitely be people of your family in your house and will live a peaceful life in the future."
Wan'er whispered, "I know Master Song. No wonder the young lady asked the maidservant and the wet nurse to pack up their things. Maybe she will leave the capital sometime."
Song Nan squeaked her lips and said, "Your lady can't wait. You must have been unhappy in my Song Mansion for several months."
Wan'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, Song's house has nothing to say to be kind to our young lady. If it hadn't been for the prince, I don't know how we would have survived these days. The little maidservant didn't realize how happy the young lady was. In the past few days, it was hard to see a smile on the young lady's face, and the little maid felt that the young lady's heart..."
When Song Nan heard Wan'er's words, she frowned and was about to inquire, and saw someone in the round door scolding, "Wan'er, when did you become so talkative?"
Everyone followed the sound. Dai Suer, dressed in blue, held a tube of bamboo in her hand and slowly came out of the shadow. Unconsciously, the sound of the flute stopped in her ear. Dai Suer was obviously a song of blowing, ready to go out of the garden and go back to the room to rest.
"Msong." Dai Suer restrained a gift.
Song Nan hurriedly hugged her fist and looked up at Dai Suer's face. In addition to being thinner than before, the suffering on the beacon of Xinping Fort did not seem to leave too many traces. Like the princess, the veil she covered her face all day long blocked the exposure of the sun, and her skin was not as dark as that of men.
Dai Suer also looked at Song Nan. Their eyes were intertwined as if they were knotted. They were entangled for a long time, and they were a little forgetful.
The wet nurse said inappropriately, "Miss, Mr. Song, why don't you go back to the room and sit down and stand outside? There are many mosquitoes and moths."
The two woke up like a dream, were shocked and looked away.
"The nurse is right. Let's go to the house and have a cup of tea." Dai Suer whispered.
Song Nan shook her head and said, "I'm here to see if Miss Dai's body has recovered. It seems to be okay. I'm also relieved. It's late at night, so I won't bother you."
Dai Suer frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Today is the day when Mr. Song ascended to the commander of Jinyiwei. The slave family should have congratulated him in person; Wan'er dried some petal tea. Doesn't he like to drink tea? Just go to sit down, drink a new can of petal tea, and also congratulate the prince on his entry into the throne.
Song Nan thought for a moment, looked at Dai Suer's hopeful eyes, and nodded, "Okay."
Dai Suer was overjoyed and went first. Song Nan followed her along the path to the west first independent courtyard. At the beginning, Dai Suer was arranged to live in the courtyard next to the backyard, which was an extremely clean place.
Song Nan hasn't entered Dai Suer's courtyard for a long time. Although it is evening, it can be seen that the courtyard is neat and tidy. Under the wind lamp in front of the corridor, a red-skinned parrot stands on the crossbar and dozes. The air is filled with a faint fragrance, which is the jasmine fragrance that Dai Suer likes to use and Lu Qingli in her bedroom. The rose fragrance smoked by Aunt Ye Fang's cousin is completely different.
Song Nan sat down in the main room. Dai Suer went back to the east and changed her jumper and came out. The traces of water stains on her hair were visible. Obviously, she had taken care of it. Waner really took a small tile jar and sealed the red wooden plug on her mouth.
Dai Suer said, "Open it. Today is the first time to open the can. This is still last year's wax plum petals. I wanted to keep it until autumn, but I'm afraid... I'm afraid I can't wait for that time, so I just take it to let the prince have a taste."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Thank you very much. I'm blessed. I haven't drunk Lamei petal tea."
Dai Suer smiled, took the cork in person, put it into the delicate bamboo basket, gently hooked it, and took out a small handful of small pale yellow petals. Although the petals had withered and curled up, as soon as they were taken out, Song Nan's nose suddenly ushered in a fragrance that touched her heart and spleen.
After the petals were put into the cup, Wan'er quickly poured hot water. In a moment, the petals were alive and bloomed in the cup one after another. Suddenly, they were fragrant, and the room was full of the fragrance of wax plums, which was refreshing.
"It smells so good. Plum blossoms can also be used for tea. Your master and servant are really thoughtful." Song Nan took a sip and praised intoxicatedly.
Dai Suer smiled and said, "This is what my mother taught me. My mother is very skillful and flexible. My father likes to drink tea. My mother tried to find good tea from all over the world for my father to taste, and also made some petal tea for my father to drink. Plum blossoms, gardenia, locust flowers, honeysuckle and lotus have all done it."
Song Nan nodded and praised, "I'm very envious. The relationship between your mother and your father must be very good."
Dai Suer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, in my impression, my father and mother have a good relationship. Sometimes my father has a bad temper. When he returns home, he sometimes curses people and throws things, but as long as his mother passes the sound of the piano, his father will be calm; his father will also I can teach my mother to write and write poems. My father's writing and painting are very good, and my mother has learned a lot. Otherwise, how can the slave family read and write poetry?
Song Nan sighed, "Your father's court is really a pair of brethren, which makes people envious."
Dai Suer whispered, "Unfortunately, they are gone, and there is nothing left at once."
Song Nan's heart was shocked. Seeing something shining in Dai Suer's eyes, she knew that Dai Suer remembered sad things again, so she could only be speechless. These days, you don't have the right to live a quiet life. Whenever there is a disaster, even if you have the most loving and happy life in the world, it will suddenly disappear.
It is Song Nan who knows this that she keeps moving forward. Sometimes, by some means, she has to control her own destiny and has to control the supreme power of this era. This is something that many people will not think of or dare not think of.
"Don't be sad. Your father's hall will always be together in the underworld. The living should live happily, and the dead can also smile. People living in the past will have no future."
Dai Suer wiped her tears and said, "Yes, the slave family lost his temper."
Song Nan took a sip of tea and looked around the room. She saw several large wooden boxes arranged neatly in the corner of the room, and several packages were also on the wooden box. She said with a grim heart, "Have you sorted them all together? That's all the family?
Dai Suer whispered, "That's all, there is nothing long, and many of these are given by Mr. Meng and several sisters."
Song Nan said, "Well, the document will be issued soon. I have asked Qingli to prepare 2,000 taels of silver. She will give you the entanglement and settling down. I hope you don't refuse; I will send Jinyi Weiti to ride you back to your hometown in Nanjing. At that time... I'm afraid... I can't come to see you off."
Dai Suer looked at Song Nan and did not speak. Song Nan had no regrets. He was very reluctant to leave, but Song Nan knew that Dai Suer was not an ordinary woman. With Dai Suer's identity and temperament, she would not be willing to be a concubine. Moreover, from beginning to end, there was only a hazy relationship between herself and Dai Suer. The feeling is not difficult to part.
Song Nan asked herself that she didn't know much about Dai Suer. This woman has always been indifferent to herself, and she doesn't feel any expression of love. Why should she be affectionate? Moreover, now that her love debt has caused trouble, it is hard to say whether she can get through this, and Song Nan doesn't want to provoke love debt anymore. Although at the beginning of the time travel, there was also a wish full of beautiful wives and concubines and beautiful women in the world, but now Song Nan has understood that the reality is not as beautiful as she thought. There are many constraints in this year, even more than in later generations.
"The slave family knows that the slave family is grateful to Mr. Song. I have nothing to repay in this life. I will repay Mr. Song in the next life." Dai Suer sighed deeply. She really wanted to wait for Song Nan's words to retain her, but she was afraid that Song Nan would say something to retain. Song Nan did not retain her at all, but Dai Suer was extremely disappointed.
The two sat awkwardly for a moment and found nothing to say. Song Nan drank all the tea in the cup and got up and said, "Thank you, Miss Dai's plum tea. It's time to say goodbye."
Dai Suer got up in a hurry and lowered her head to salute. When she looked up, Song Nan's figure had disappeared in the night outside the door. Dai Suer's heart was a little lost and her body was a little weak. Wan'er beside her and whispered, "Miss, take a rest. It's late at night."
Dai Suer nodded and slowly walked into the room. I don't know when, her eyes were full of tears and her clothes were wet.
(I know that the plot of these chapters is a little abusive. Believe me, Liu An has its own time.)
