013 Yunme

After dinner, Yunqing felt that it was time to meet his aunt. She carefully took care of her hair, picked up the "Snow Search for Plum" lamp sent back by Sun Cheng, and went to the Xiangyuan next door alone.

Yunqing's aunt is called Yun Mei, who is only seven years older than her, and now she is only 222. Yun Mei is weak, and his best years at the age of 16 or 17 have been soaked in medicine jars, and his life's major events have been put on hold until now. Because of the relationship between Second Master Pei and Yunqing, the servants of Lanyuan have a lot of respect for Yun Mei, and they usually call her "Aunt Yun" respectfully with Yunqing.

Yun Mei's appearance is like coming out of a yellow scroll painting, with gentleness and softness everywhere. She doesn't like to laugh, but when she smiles, even the snow melts. Just like this moment, Yun Mei hugged Luo Yu and leaned leisurely against the head of the bed. The green silk was scattered and his eyes were pitiful. When he saw Yun Qing come in and smiled, he was really a room full of brilliance.

Yunqing dismissed the maid and closed the door. When Yun Mei saw her, she smiled gently and asked, "I haven't seen you for days. Are you busy?"

Yunqing sat down beside Yun Mei and said, "Qixi Lantern, it's the right time when you are busy. Does your aunt miss me?"

Yun Mei looked at the sky outside the window, patted the back of Yunqing's hand and said, "I really want to. So if you don't go today, did Su Ji fail to enter the third round?

"How can I not enter the third round with me in Suji?" Yunqing said coquettishly, "I won the first place. Auntie, you don't praise me."

Yun Mei smiled at ease, reached out and pinched Yunqing's face and said, "Of course you are the best. Who calls you--"

The words got stuck here. Yun Mei touched Yunqing's hair and remembered the previous question for a long time: "Then why don't you go to the lantern tonight? Second Master Pei personally helped you find the work, but don't let the second master's face.

Yunqing naturally lifted his back sleeve and said, "I hurt my hand. I can't draw anymore."

Yun Mei quickly sat up straight and took Yunqing's wrist and asked urgently, "What does it mean that you can't draw anymore?" What did the doctor say, is the injury serious? Why are you so careless? How can you let me be with the ancestors of the Xia family--

Yun Mei suddenly covered his mouth and looked at Yun Qing in horror. Yun Qing silently looked at Yun Mei for a long time, patted Yun Mei on the shoulder with his left hand and said, "Auntie, it doesn't matter. We are originally the Xia family. Even if you are a descendant of a criminal, you can't forget your ancestral surname.

"Yunqing!" Yun Mei reminded in a low voice, but when he thought that Yunqing was right, he looked at Yunqing's right wrist and whispered, "Yunqing, your aunt is very useless, isn't it? I'm not as useful as Sister Wanqing. I can't avenge the Xia family. Even as long as I keep you safe, I can't do it well. I..."

"Auntie, don't say that. My hands are fine," Yunqing leaned against Yun Mei's shoulder and whispered. "Besides, aunt, you are very good. You have always been fine."

For a moment of silence, Yun Qing could hear Yun Mei's low crying. Their voices were already very low. Yun Qing still turned his head and said to Yun Mei, "But aunt, can you be better for me?"

Yun Mei was stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.

Yunqing whispered in her ear, "Auntie, no matter why you have been sick for so many years, I just hope you can get better as soon as possible from now on. Then marry like ordinary people, have children, and live a good life.

Yunqing's shoulders trembled and hugged each other, and Yunqing could clearly feel it. She knew Yun Mei's thoughts. If it hadn't been for now, she wouldn't have revealed it, but Yun Mei's tears quickly wet her neck.

"Auntie, it's time to end some things, yours, mine, and the Xia family. After the end is a new beginning, and we all need to be fine.

Yun Mei didn't say anything for a long time, leaning softly on Yunqing as if his whole body had lost strength. Yunqing was about to open her mouth again, but Yun Mei slowly pushed away Yunqing, put her hands on her shoulder and smiled softly and said, "Auntie always believes in you. Who said you are the eldest daughter of the Xia family? My aunt is stupid and can't help you, but it will never be your worries.

What Yunqing left for Yunmei is the lamp of "stepping on the snow and looking for plums".

Yunqing didn't sleep well that night. Many things floated through her dream. Some of them thought about it thousands of times after listening to the people's stories, and some of them were personally experienced and dared not be forgotten. The snow-white fan and the scarlet seal. The great-grandfather said to his father, "When your child grows up, let me draw a fan for his great-grandfather." On the guilloine, the great-grandfather swore his eyes and sneered indifferently: "You are too underestimate my Xia family." In the small courtyard where she was hiding, her father kissed her face fiercely and hurriedly handed her over to Aunt Wanqing and said, "Let's go!" At the Qinhe Ferry, Aunt Wanqing sent her and her little aunt on the boat and kissed her face and told her, "Don't come back, never come back again!"

And Pei Ziyao stood in the distance with his eyebrows twisting. Yunqing walked towards him and getting closer and closer, but a fierce look suddenly appeared on his face. Yunqing stepped back half a step in shock, but he couldn't see the man's appearance clearly. He shook an ebony folding fan out of thin air. Yun Qing hurried to grab the fan, but listened to him. Laugh out slowly...

The next day was the seventh day of July, and Sun Cheng came early in the morning to report the news. Yesterday, Mrs. Su insisted on not finding a replacement, and only asked Sun Cheng to take the stage to tell everyone that Su Ji's painter had hurt his hand, which was incomparable. Unexpectedly, everyone sighed and more about the "stepping on the snow to find plum". Even the judge of Master Jiang and others on the stage did not forget it, which made Su Ji pick up the second place in the third round. Mrs. Su didn't care about the Lantern Festival, but Master Su and others were very excited, so she asked Sun Chenglai to invite Yunqing to put the lantern at night - according to the rules, the second one was to put a lotus lantern by the Qinhe River.

Yunqing didn't want to go. It happened that Yun Mei was having breakfast together and asked, "Do you want to go?"

Yun Mei also wanted to refuse, but the words turned around and said with a smile, "I haven't gone out for a long time, but I really want to see the lanterns."

Yunqing was stunned and hurriedly said to Sun Cheng, "Then I won't take a detour to Su Ji. I'll go directly with my aunt."

"Oh, yes, Sister Yun. I'll go to Mrs. Bing Er."

In the evening, Yunqing took Yun Mei, Feng, and Yun Mei's maid Bai Shao to the bank of the river to watch the lights. Wuhua City is rich and prosperous. When it comes to prosperity, it can be seen from the lanterns along the river. At least 300 of all kinds of lanterns were hung on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, including the palace lamp of the phoenix flying, the horse lamp of the Farewell My Concubine, the most common big red light, and the finest surname lamp, all of which are extremely beautiful.

All families have come up with the best craftsmanship, saying that it is a common event, and it is inevitable that there is a comparison. Yunqing went to Mrs. Su first, but he didn't like the young master of the Su family to look at Yun Mei as he had seen her and Zisu before, so he let Bai Shaojiao accompany Yun Mei to watch the lamp and found Su Ji by himself.

Su Ji hasn't won such a good ranking for several years, and Master Su narrowed his eyes with laughter. As soon as Yunqing came, he quickly got up and bowed: "It's really worthy of the apprentice given by Second Master Pei. The Su family, thank you very much, Miss Pei!" After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Master Su and Mrs. Su and others to salute.

Yunqing said, "Master Su is not polite. Yunqing is Su Ji's painter, and it is his job to draw a good lamp."

Mrs. Su Er was looking after a few lamps in the distance, but when she saw Yunqing hurried to greet them and said, "How are your hands? I heard from Sun Cheng that the injury is not light. Let me have a look.

Maybe the lights here are too bright, and Mrs. Su's face is much paler than usual. Her usually watery eyes are also a little scattered today, and she looks a little depressed.

"It's nothing serious," Yun Qing asked casually, "Why didn't the second wife look well and sleep well?"

As soon as Yunqing exited, he accidentally saw the Su family looking strange. Master Su coughed a few times, and his face turned a little pale. His third aunt was too unhappy. Seeing that Master Su was so delicate, Mrs. Su looked at him and turned her head away. The strangest was Master Su. His face turned into a pig liver, and a cat turned around and walked away.

Mrs Su's face was more tired, and even if she smiled a little reluctantly. She took Yunqing's hand and said, "Your hand must not be fine. Yunqing, I can't let me owe you a hand. I can't afford it, and Su Ji can't afford it..."

The third aunt was too unhappy. When she heard the words, she turned her waist and rolled her eyes and whispered, "I'm not careful. Is it possible to rely on Su Ji? But I got the second one!"

Yunqing only didn't hear it, but Mrs. Su turned around and said fiercely, "If you don't talk, no one will treat you as a mute!"

Master Su was also embarrassed: "Xiaoxi, this is Second Master Pei's apprentice. Don't speak in moderation!" After saying that, he looked at Yunqing and smiled.

Yunqing looked strangely, but it was not convenient to ask more questions here, so he patted the back of the second wife's hand and said, "I have something to tell the second wife. Su Ji tomorrow morning, is the second wife free?"

Mrs. Su took a complicated look at Yunqing, but Master Su said hurriedly, "I'm free! Free! Miss Pei said, how can Manqiu not be free?"

Mrs. Su Er smiled reluctantly and said, "Okay." After saying that, he asked Sun Cheng to take her to meet Lu Fuyin.

When Yunqing asked about Sun Cheng and Su's second wife, Sun Cheng didn't know at all. He only said that the second wife rarely went to Su Ji these days. I heard that it was the second wife's daughter Xiao Que'er who was sick. Yunqing listened strangely and wanted to ask again, but Sun Cheng only touched his head and said that he really didn't know. Since Yunqing drew "Stepping on the snow and looking for plums" during the Qixi Lantern Festival, Su Ji's business was very good. In the past two days, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water, and he really didn't have time to inquire about the Su family.

"That little sparrow is sick. Why is the second wife still here today?" Yunqing finally asked.

Sun Chengbian pushed aside the crowd to make way for Yunqing and whispered, "I also feel strange. It seems that I suddenly figured it out and didn't want to give Su Ji to others."

Yunqing couldn't think of any reason, so he simply didn't think about it. He just put the river lamp according to the rules and went to enjoy the lamp with his aunt.

At the Qinhe Bridge, Zhao Yushi, Lu Fuyin, Sun Zhuangyuan, Ye Huaizhen, Mu Chuiliang and Pei Ziyao have all been waiting, and they can't see Jiang Kuan, the young master of the Jiang family. Today, it is lively, and the Tanabata lights are lit with the intention of praying for blessings. Except for Pei Ziyao, who have not yet been married, other people's wives have also come. Zhao Yushi's wife is not pearly and has a kind smile; Lu Fuyin's wife is slightly majestic and difficult to get close to; Sun Zhuangyuan's wife is a little embarrassed and timid. Ye Huaizhen's wife is gentle and virtuous, as for Mu Chuiliang...
