old house bird thing

It was raining heavily, making the already muggy weather even more dreary. The windows in Xiangxiang were open, but there was no wind. The colorful flowers and plants outside the windows looked extraordinarily bright in the rain, which made people feel their exuberant vitality.

From a distance, I saw Chunyan coming from a distance with a bowl of things and an umbrella. The rain fell on her floral trouser legs, and the fabric was tightly stuck to her ankles, and her slender and round legs could be seen.The second aunt said that Chunyan was not considered a little maid, and she married someone a few years ago, but her husband died of illness within half a year. At that time, she was pregnant, but her mother-in-law's family wanted to sell her.Chunyan had no choice, so she jumped into the river. When she was rescued, she was only half breathed. At that time, the second aunt spent too much money to ask a doctor to rescue her. Chunyan lay on the bed for several months. Follow the second aunt steadily.

Chunyan put the bowl in front of Xiangxiang and said, "Second young master, the pork bone soup made by my aunt has added vinegar and coriander. It's fresh. You can drink some."

Xiangxiang took a look at the bowl of soup, and her thin eyebrows gradually raised: "What are you doing drinking this on a hot day? I don't drink it, go and get me a bowl of ebony soup."

"I drink it in hot weather. After sweating so much, I need to nourish myself."

Xiang Xiang asked, "Where is Second Aunt? Why didn't she come over?"

Chunyan said: "The second aunt is angry in the room? When the rain will lighten up, young master, you have to go and see her."

Xiangxiang asked: "What's wrong? Who made her angry on a hot day?"

Chunyan said: "Don't talk about it, the second aunt's family came the day before yesterday, and they actually told our master about a concubine. Other families hope that the married daughter will live well in the husband's house. The second aunt The family turned around and brought in a newcomer to make things difficult for the concubine. Just now, the fifth concubine went over to the second concubine and said a lot of sarcastic remarks, and the second concubine didn't eat lunch because she was so angry."

Xiangxiang asked: "My uncle's family told me? Which family's girl are they talking about? I remember that my uncle's family has no daughter."

Chunyan said: "We don't know the girl we are talking about. Anyway, I heard that she is a female student. The master was very happy to hear that, and went to see her in person. Once he came back, the matter was settled."

Xiangxiang drank the bowl of pork bone soup and broke out in a sweat. At this time, the rain had subsided a little, and the heat outside had dissipated a little.Xiangxiang personally brought a bowl of ebony soup to the backyard. The grass and trees in the backyard were lush and lush, and the annoying cicadas chirped again and again.

The second aunt was lying on the bed, wearing only a white cotton dress. The room was very hot, and Chunyan was fanning her. As soon as Xiangxiang entered, the second aunt woke up and saw her son serving a bowl for her. When Tang came in, the second aunt had a smile on her face.

"It's better to raise a child, someone to kiss, someone to love, those ruthless dogs who only see money, don't count on them." The second aunt took Xiangxiang's bowl and said: "Your uncle It's really not the same thing as your eldest aunt, hey, let's not talk about those people, do you still hurt from the wound you were beaten by your elder brother that day?"

Xiangxiang said: "After drinking the pork bone soup for so many days, everything is fine."

The second concubine said: "It's a pity that our Yu'er was beaten. It's all the fault of their mother and son, and the master is too. It is obvious that our Yu'er has been wronged, but he is partial to them. The eldest wife sees that Liang Mo can't go to school, so she encourages the master." Let Liang Mo take over the family property, they really have a plan."

Xiangxiang said: "He can take care of it if he wants to. Anyway, I don't want to get those things." After the victory of the revolution, he will be classified as a big landlord and be criticized.

The second aunt gave Xiangxiang a sideways look and said, "Silly thing, what are you talking about."

A gust of cool wind blows in, carrying the fragrance of the soil after the rain, and a loquat branch outside the window sways with the wind.

At dinner a few days later, the eldest wife said: "I have already seen the young lady of that family for Liangmo, she is quite handsome, with slender eyebrows and big eyes, knowledgeable about books and etiquette, the most important thing is that she is very handsome. , seems to be blessed."

The eldest wife suddenly mentioned Du Liangmo's marriage a few days ago, saying that it was a marriage that was arranged in the early years. Now that the children are grown up, let's do what is necessary, so that Master Du can embrace his grandson as soon as possible.

The second aunt was very aggrieved, Xin Dao had just taken over the family business, and now she was busy getting married, so she was in a hurry to think about what to do.

Fifth Aunt was imprisoned for a few days and then came out for activities again, but she no longer sat down when eating. She took Qinglian's job and stood next to Master Du serving tea and water, which was very courteous.As expected, Jiang was old and spicy, and Qinglian couldn't compare to Fifth Aunt who had been in the house for many years with so much skill. After falling out of favor for a few days, she quickly grabbed Master Du in her hands.

Only Aunt Wu said with a smile: "It's good to get married. I wish Liangwen would get married soon. I can hold my grandson tomorrow. When the time comes, I will leave everything to the children, and I will just relax at home every day."

The second aunt listened too much, she turned her eyes and said in agreement: "Yes, when the children grow up, we will all be old. It would be great to look after the children at home. It will be a leisurely and comfortable life. At that time, our sisters will be just companions." .”

Master Du was silent for a while and said: "It's time to do this, but don't worry about it, let's talk about it after the New Year."

The eldest lady looked at the fifth concubine and the second concubine bitterly, clutching a string of Buddhist beads in her hand tightly, the wrinkles on her face seemed to gather together suddenly, as if she was suddenly let go while playing mahjong, His face was extremely angry and difficult to speak out.

After dinner, Xiangxiang sat in the backyard with his second aunt and went back to the middle courtyard. When passing a bridge over the pond in the middle courtyard, he suddenly heard soft crying.It was pitch black at night, only the lanterns hanging on the eaves gave off a faint light, Xiangxiang suddenly felt a tight heart, a little scared.

He boldly shouted: "Who is it! Who is there! Stand up for me!"

Xiangxiang didn't know where he was, he just used his voice to give himself courage, if something non-human gene came out at this time, I'm afraid he would have to pee his pants in fright.

A figure came out from behind a pillar in the corridor, and when he got closer, it was the Sixth Aunt Tai Qinglian.

Xiangxiang calmed down his little heart silently, and then said to Aunt Six: "So it's Aunt Six, why didn't you go back to the house so late? You were the one crying just now?"

The sixth aunt still had tears in her eyes, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said to Xiangxiang Yifu, "Second young master, I am sorry to make you laugh."

Xiangxiang said: "You are my concubine, you don't need to call me the second young master, just call me Liang Yu. How can you cry now that you are pregnant? Tell me what's bothering you. Did someone bully you?"

Qinglian smiled, she looked sad and desolate, she looked pitiful, she said: "Qinglian is fine, don't worry about it, it's getting late, you should go back to rest early, Qinglian is leaving."

Sixth Auntie walked away with curly steps, and Xiangxiang was about to lift his feet back to the room, but when he lowered his head, he saw a handkerchief under his feet. Xiangxiang picked it up, and a strong smell of perfume wafted from the handkerchief. Looking in the direction where Aunt Six left, she shouted, "Aunt Six, your things have been lost."

Aunt Six didn't seem to hear Xiangxiang's cry, and the figure disappeared at the corner.

In the past few days, it has been cloudy and rainy almost every day. It rained continuously during the day and night. When it stopped raining, the summer vacation was almost over. Xiangxiang told the second aunt that she had to go back to school a few days earlier.

The second aunt personally packed a bunch of food for Xiangxiang, and said that it is easy to suffer from heatstroke in summer, so she asked sister-in-law Chen to cook more mung bean soup for her to drink. The second aunt found a new wife for Xiangxiang.

Xiangxiang listened to the second aunt's nagging for a long time before he was ready to go back. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something. He took out the handkerchief that the sixth aunt had lost and said, "I almost forgot. I came to you because I wanted you to help me take this The handkerchief was returned to Aunt Six. It seemed strange that I went to her for this matter. I met Aunt Six in the yard a few nights ago, and I don’t know why she was crying secretly in the garden alone. It’s so pitiful. Yes, she accidentally dropped it at that time."

The second aunt's face changed when she heard this, but she smiled and said: "I see, give it to me, you can go back and rest."

As soon as Xiangxiang left, the second aunt threw the perfumed handkerchief on the ground, stomped on it a couple of times, and couldn't let go of her hatred, then took out scissors and tore it into several pieces. on the ground.

"Chunyan, find me a brazier to burn these dirty things." The second aunt said.

Chunyan said: "What does this sixth aunt want to do? It's okay to be shameless, but she actually wants to seduce our young master." "What else can she do, she sees that she is about to be out of favor, so she is anxious to find another way out for herself Looking for a backer, this kind of bitch is really shameless."

"Should I remind the second young master to keep him away from the sixth aunt?" Chunyan asked.

The second aunt said: "Your young master knows the seriousness, otherwise he would not have asked me to return the handkerchief. He didn't have any bad intentions. When ordinary men saw those lackeys shaking their buttocks, they would immediately rush forward desperately, hum! "

Aunt Six's handkerchief turned into light smoke in the brazier, and the smoke rose slowly, swaying in the air until it disappeared without a trace.
