Chapter 50 Bitterness
When the jade stove collected his clothes and passed by the rolling shed, he said, "Why are you sleeping here? Smoke all the mosquitoes, but not all the insects. After a careful time, you will be full of poison!"
Bu Nuan's arm stood back and sat up. "I didn't sleep. I took a nap for a while."
"Why don't you go back to the room? It's dark!" The jade stove came to take her, "Get up quickly. It's windy on the high platform at night, and you can't catch a cold. Xiu told the kitchen to stew chicken soup, add Goguryeo's ginseng, and said that he would replenish your body.
Bu Nuan held his forehead and moan, "Why do you want to eat ginseng again? It's too much to make up your nose."
Yulu said, "No, the ginseng of Goguryeo is different from our old ginseng. Their ginseng is cool and won't be inflamed. It was the filial piety obtained by the sixth son Muzhou Road. There were a total of six branches, and four branches were given to the old lady. Two of them were wrapped in oil paper and sent by Tingzhou. They still shouted silently!"
So my uncle has come back? Bu Nuan came to her senses and hurriedly looked at the drunken lake. The window of the bamboo branch hall really slapped the lamp, and the maidservant on the shore was blowing fire folding, lighting the small lanterns hanging on the water corridor one by one.
She turned around and asked, "When did the sixth son come home? Why don't I know?"
The jade furnace said, "Didn't the first six sons come to see you? You don't even know? Oh, you have really practiced your sleep. The maidservant has nothing to say but admire it.
She muttered, "He has been here? Oh, I thought I was staring for a while, but I didn't notice it.
"I expected you to be so tired. After sitting in front of the scaffolding for most of the day, it's okay to really fall asleep." The jade stove untied her and muttered, "When Gaoling comes back from drinking, Xiu said that he would ask the old lady for a favor. We will open our own firehouse and eat whatever we want, so we don't have to bring it from the big kitchen. What kind of dish do you want to add? Hit it under more than a dozen pairs of eyes. Although there is nothing sour to say, I also feel it's appropriate.
Bu Nuan responded absent-mindedly, and there was a rise to the idea of seeing him. The lamp on his window sill seems to be extremely attractive. She is like a moth. If she has wings, she will jump on it without hesitation.
But it can't. She turned to rest, and from the day the Song family came to her door, she secretly made up her mind. No matter how good her uncle is, she doesn't understand the man's world. Don't try to get close with curiosity. It's easy to get burned if you get too close. And he belongs to others. If she looks at it more, it's like stealing, coveting, greedy, salivating... Anyway, it's extremely unbearable. She can't let herself fall into such an embarrassing situation. Even if she is helpless, she still has to be proud.
She resolutely turned around. She was transparent when and where, but she didn't dare to think about it. That's a dazzling flower, right there! Don't touch it. If you are not careful, it will wither. She once heard her mother understand Buddhism and remember a sentence - life is like being in a thorn, her heart is motionless, and if she doesn't act recklessly, she won't hurt if she doesn't move. Although her heart is full, there are some things she can't say. Once she loses her mouth, even the weakest ties will be broken.
She should be afraid of her uncle for no reason and respect him like she did when she first came to Chang'an. Even if you rely on it, you should be measured.
She breathed and walked straight into the building with her silk. Xiu and Xiangnong were tampering with the newly made clothes, compared with styles and patterns. After a long time, they decided on a gold-wrapped silk skirt. Then there are the head and accessories, and even the shoes have been considered for a long time. Xiu said that he wanted to be rich and elegant, so he chose a high-headed heavy platform with rice beads.
The cloth has been tossed for a long time, and I'm too lazy to help it. He collapsed on the mat and hugged his head and said, "I'm just going to have a wedding banquet. It's not me getting married. What are you doing dressed so well!"
Bu Nuan has always been a pearl on the palm. In the past, it had the root of asthma, and it was not often in contact with the outside. He is born with a vice-child and doesn't know anything. At her age, she changed to someone else's lady, without saying anything, her stomach was clear. The folk customs of the Tang Dynasty are like this, and they like to join in the fun. However, whenever there is a happy event, the master's relatives and friends are not talking about it, but they have nothing to do with it. They have to set up roadblocks to please money halfway, and almost all the young talents in the city are all out. On such occasions, the girl will dress up carefully, look at each other, or say a few words, find out which family, and then she can get married in the next day.
This is a good opportunity that you won't meet in eight lifetimes! The girl went out without wearing a hedge, called slaves to lead maidservants, and followed the elders of the family to meet people. Let the parents take a fancy, and some immediately talk to the woman's family to settle the marriage. The Ye family is an official and eunuch, and their relatives and friends are not rich or noble. Anyway, multiple ways out are always good. There were many girls competing for beauty that day. If they were not elegant, they lost their edge. Who can notice you!
Xiu's stuffy head cleaned up softly, took out the hairpin ring in the same way, and said, "I'm pointing to you to lead a good uncle back!" With your talent and appearance, coupled with the reputation and prestige of the general, how many famous families are rushing to make fun! Leave some intention for yourself. If it suits your eyes, write it down and tell the old lady and ask her to make the decision for you.
Bu Nuan knew that the wet nurse had to pull on this, so she answered perfunctorily and asked, "Are you going to go?"
Xiu just smiled, "In such an occasion, the girl has to take the little girl. She knows that she wants Lang Jun and drags the wet nurse and tells people jokes! I will stay to look after the house and stop living in two days. You take the jade stove and the cennon and ask them to help. Marriage is unavoidable. If you miss it, you may not be able to find it back for the rest of your life.
When Xiu said, there was always a faint sadness on his face. Bu Nuan looked up at her and said, "Nanny, have you ever met someone you can't forget in your life when you were young?"
Xiu meditated, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the high wall. After a while, Fang shook his head with some embarrassment. "It's been so long that I've forgotten."
The girls have incomparable curiosity and enthusiasm for this. They stick to it like a jade stove dog skin plaster and keep shaking, "Xiu, daddy is not the person who touches you the most, isn't he? There are no outsiders here, just talk to us!"
Xiu couldn't stand her, so she sat down on the short side. Looking at a few fresh young faces in front of her, she smiled and said, "Many things in a person's life are incomplete. Or if there is a defect, it will be more time-lasting. Maybe my relationship can't be regarded as love. Only I know it. Before I entered Bufu, I had been in a village in the countryside of Luoyang. There was a village and a surname, and every family was related. One day, a man with an outdoor surname moved in. He had a son. He had two skillful hands and was famous for carpenter work. Our two families live very close. I often meet him, but I never talk to him. I was so young that I didn't even dare to raise my head when I saw him. Up to now, I remember a spring evening when I was standing under the peach tree behind the house. He happened to pass by and nodded to me with a smile.
Xiu's words stopped and stopped talking for a long time. She sat there with melancholy and melancholy in her eyes. The jade furnace asked unrelentingly, "What happened later?"
"Later..." She lowered her head and dusted her skirt. "Later, I gave it to the Gao family, and he also said that he was a matchmaker and married a girl in the village. A man and a woman have never seen each other since.
Everyone regretted, "There might have been a good ending, why not say it? Bai missed a good marriage, but it's a pity.
Bu Nuan asked, "Mother, do you regret it? If I had been brave at that time, it might be a completely different kind of life now.
Xiu still smiled, and the corners of his mouth were crooked to one side, "What do you regret? It's yours, and you can't run away after all. It's not yours. Even if you were close at hand, you will still slip through your fingers. Like water, I can't hold it in my hand.
Old people have experienced too many things, some of which are forgotten in an instant, but some are deeply in their minds. Most of what can be remembered is with some regrets. People are always like this. The more you can't get, the more fresh your memory will be.
Xiangong held his cheeks and sighed, "This has no beginning and no end. It's uncomfortable to hear. We often meet, why don't you talk to me? It's not worth living with the person you like!"
"This is not accurate." Xiu changed his calm look and joked, "It looked like a flower 30 years ago. What about 30 years later? His head is also bald and his back is bent. He stands there with his stomach, as if he is pregnant. It may not be good to look at it.
Everyone smiled and echoed, and they felt sorry in their hearts. It is actually a blessing to be old together and have a crane-haired chicken skin together.
When Xiu saw them with their heads one by one, he was embarrassed to get up and laughed, "It's done. At my age, I still talk to you children about these things, but it has become disrespectful for the old. Don't think about it. People can't live a lifetime and be happy with everything. Ordinary people, who can't help but toss and turn!"
This made people laugh again. The jade furnace covered its mouth and said, "Look, after staying in the house for a long time, the Book of Songs can also fool two sentences, which is the benefit. If you marry a little carpenter, you will probably only know how to cook and pan around the stove all day.
Xiu also agrees, "This is reasonable, and there must be a gain and a loss. If she hadn't married her nanny, she would have been a peasant woman in her life, farming and spinning, and not going to the village. After saying that, he sighed, "But it is guaranteed that men and daughters will not be so short-lived, and the whole family can be safe."
Speaking of this really sad and beautiful life, tragedy accounts for most of it. The man she married was the son of the Bu family, who was originally in charge of several industries outside the house, which was equivalent to the position of a housekeeper. He is also very nice. He is polite to everyone and has never blushed with anyone. Such a good man doesn't live long! It turns out that men are not even as capable as women when they are hit. Xiu's daughter was born with shortcomings and died at the age of 13. Since then, her father's mood has been very low. Later, I caught up with the rent collection in Zhuangzi. On the way back, I got caught in the rain and couldn't get up again when I was in bed. After procrastinating for more than half a year, it's useless to take medicine. One day is as thin as a day, but after all, he has let go.
The dead are detached, and the living are the most pitiful. Xiu has lost her husband and daughter, and now there is only one person left.
She touched the pain and couldn't help crying. Bu Nuan leaned into her body and hugged her, "Don't cry, the wet nurse, you still have me. I am the same as my sister-girl. I will listen to you and respect you in the future.
Xiu choked for a burst of tears and said, "Exactly, what would I still be alive if I hadn't looked at you? As long as you are good, I don't want anything else. At present, the most important thing is marriage. At this time, you don't have to worry about your good years. You will be old in a blink of an eye. It will be difficult to choose a good one at that time.
Bu Nuan was afraid that it would make her more sad if she refuted it, but she only said, "Don't worry, the nurse, I remember it. This trip to Ye's house for dinner, I will definitely open my eyes. If there is a suitable one, let them scan it and tell you when you come back.
Xiu smiled helplessly, "You child just hit me. Can't you hear me when you look at me? Do you want to scan it? The old lady is there, just pay attention to the sidelines.
