Chapter 90 Gather at a Table
Everyone sat around the table, and then the maidservants served the dishes one by one. Mo Qingcheng looked at these tricks. Although they were common dishes, they were also very exquisite. Shujing picked up vegetables for Mo Qingcheng from time to time, as if she had never eaten well.
Anyi is very reserved. I don't know whether it's because he hasn't had dinner with An Hong for a long time or because Mo Qingcheng is here. In contrast, Helian's achievements were much more generous. While talking with An Hong, he did not forget to pick up vegetables for Mo Qingcheng.
"Yi'er, do you have a favorite girl?" During the banquet, Shujing suddenly asked. She hasn't disciplined her two children much over the years. Fortunately, they are very worry-free. Now that her son is married, there is only Yi'er left.
Comfort lowered his head and was silent.
"You are not young. Both sisters are married. When are you going to get married?" Seeing this, An Hong frowned. After all, he was the only son, and the succession was all on him.
An Yi raised his head and said lightly, "I don't want to get married yet!"
When Shujing heard the words, her distant mountain-like eyebrows suddenly frowned, "How can that work!"
"Brother, do you have someone in your heart?" An Xian raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, with unspeakable waves in his eyes.
Mo Qingcheng raised his head and looked at An Yi. He lowered his eyelids and muttered, "The person I like has married!" His voice was hoarse and sad. Even if Mo Qingcheng had not married, he could not marry her.
An Yu and Shu Jing were stunned, but An Hong sighed and said earnestly, "Yi'er, some things are destined. You have to learn to let go in time!" Just like you treat Wan'er, no matter how much you like it, you can't have it.
An Yi frowned slightly. It's not that he didn't understand, but some things were easy to say but difficult to do. His father should be the best understanding of him.
"In this case, let's slow down this matter and wait until you think about it clearly!" An Hong patted him on the shoulder, and his eyes were full of kindness. This kind of thing can't come. He can't let An Yi take the same path as him, because not everyone is as lucky as him. If he misses a Li Wan, he can still meet Shujing!
An Yi looked at An Hong gratefully and looked at Mo Qingcheng again. She lowered her head and ate the dishes in the bowl as if she hadn't heard anything.
The meal went smoothly. After eating full of wine and food, An Yan asked An Yi to accompany her to practice calligraphy. He Liancheng accompanied An Hong to play chess. Mo Qingcheng drank tea absent-mindedly and watched the battle. Shujing entered the room early and rested early.
Everything looks so harmonious, but the atmosphere is always wrong.
"Miss, please come over!" After drinking half a cup of tea, Mother Guan came to invite Mo Qingcheng with a smiling face.
Mo Qingcheng was happy, but her face followed Mother Guan quietly. She was thinking about how to find an opportunity to get close to Shujing, but she didn't expect Shujing to come to find herself.
"Madam! Miss is here!"
As soon as Mo Qingcheng entered the door, she smelled a refreshing sandalwood fragrance. Instead of strong, there was a fragrance. She, a person who has always hated incense, felt that this fragrance smelled good. The room is very elegant, without too much decoration, but there are two pots of flowers and plants on the window sill and a pair of framed calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. This calligraphy and painting is very similar to my mother's handwriting, but a little more strong and bold.
"Qingcheng, come here, I'll show you something!" Shujing waved to Mo Qingcheng and took out a rectangular box. This box was very simple. At first glance, it was an old thing from many years ago, but although the box was yellow, it was spotless and seemed to be well preserved. Presumably she cherished it very much.
"What is this?" Mo Qingcheng stared at the box and felt a little familiar.
Shujing smiled and carefully opened the box, "You should know this piano!"
Mo Qingcheng frowned, "My mother also has a handful!"
"Yes, this piano is called Shuwan, Shujing and Waner. It was made by your mother. Give it to me and leave it to herself!" Shujing stroked the piano carefully, and her eyes seemed to be a little dim. "From the first time I saw you, I recognized you. Although you don't look like Wan'er, your charm is very much like Wan'er! There is a trace of stubbornness in gentleness! It's a pity that her life is not good!"
"I never believe in fate. My fate is in my own hands!" Mo Qingcheng frowned and the corners of his mouth sank slightly. "You betrayed my mother. Have you ever regretted it?"
"Qingcheng, why do you say that?" Shujing looked at Mo Qingcheng in a stunned way, "Did your mother tell you something?"
"Since you are my mother's best friend, why did you rob her beloved?" Mo Qingcheng stared at her and said in a bad tone, "You know that my mother is pregnant!"
A trace of sadness flashed through her desolate eyes, "Qingcheng, you misunderstood. I didn't take away the marquis. On the contrary, it was your mother who advised me to marry him!"
"What?" Mo Qingcheng looked at Shujing in disbelief. With her pale face and sad frowns, she didn't seem to be lying at all.
"Wan'er and I have been good sisters for many years. Since childhood, we have been practicing calligraphy and painting together. Wan'er is gentle and virtuous. She is a talented woman appointed by the emperor. She has the most pursuers, but none of them has entered her eyes. Until one day, the marquis appeared. He was like a lamp and lit up the hearts of me and Wan'er at the same time, just There is only your mother in his heart. Although I am very sad and envious of your mother, I have never thought of stealing the marquis from your mother. I know I don't have the ability.
The day before the marquis's expedition, your mother did something to change her fate. She sneaked out to have a private meeting with the marquis and stayed up all night. Soon, your mother was pregnant, but at this time, the news came that the marquis died in the battlefield. Your mother was heartbroken and wanted to die several times. I stopped her. Your grandfather was so anxious that he hurried to help her arrange a marriage. Your mother married Mo Ruwen hastily. Mo Ruwen found that there was someone else in your mother's heart and snolded her everywhere. I I have advised your mother to remarry many times, but your mother just refused. She doesn't want you to be looked down upon.
Three years later, one day, the marquis suddenly came back. The first thing he did was to propose marriage to the Li family. After learning that your mother had married Mo Ruwen, he was very angry and thought that your mother had betrayed him. But things have become a foreding, and the only thing that can be done is to endure it silently.
Your mother took the initiative to find me and let me marry the marquis. She always knew my thoughts and let me fulfill my wishes on her behalf that I had always wanted but never realized, and let me never tell the marquis that I didn't know if it was right, but I still married the marquis. I loved him as much as your mother loved him. !"
Shujing's eyes were red and swollen, and tears were like broken beads, dripping on the piano and also dripping into Mo Qingcheng's heart. She was moved. She could even imagine how sad Shujing was in the first few years of marrying An Hong. After all, Shujing knew that An Hong's heart could not let go of her mother.
"Maybe I should call you aunt!" Mo Qingcheng took her hand and looked at her. Let the past pass. I don't want my mother's best sister to be sad for her!" Mo Qingcheng smiled faintly. She is the kindest person in the world. She will never hurt anyone!
Shujing smiled and looked at Mo Qingcheng with some surprise, "I thought you wouldn't accept me!" She has been feeling guilty all these years. Although this is what Wan'er meant, she knows that Wan'er must be very sad.
"That letter..." Mo Qingcheng was a little surprised. According to his mother's personality, since things have passed for so many years, how could she say it before she died!
"I wrote it!" Shujing smiled awkwardly, "This is the only thing I can do for her!"
Mo Qingcheng smiled, maybe this is the real sister!
