The widowed mother of the red mansion

The conversation was divided into two parts, and after the marriage between Xiren and Brother Jin was agreed, Jia's mother changed her mind because she liked Grandma Liu and stayed with her for a few more days.Before leaving, Ping'er showed her all the things that everyone gave to Grandma Liu, and said: "Don't think the things are bad, grandma, just take them back to use as you can, and come to our house."

Grandma Liu saw that everyone treated her so kindly, and her attitude was so humble, she hurriedly said: "Miss, what I said really made me angry. These things are not applauded. What good things are there in the world? I don't know what blessings I have cultivated, so that I can look decent like this." , living in this mansion for a few days has actually seen all the good things in the world. Now that I have opened my eyes, the house of the big landlord in Zhuangzi, which was so rare before, is nothing. After I go back, I can talk about it for decades .”

Sister Feng looked at the list of things Feng Er handed over to Grandma Liu on the kang table in the next room, laughed softly and said to Feng Er: "This time it's strange, our Bodhisattva grandma didn't bring out any of them, could it be that Grandma Liu hated her? "

Just as he was talking, Suyun came to invite Grandma Liu.Sister Feng nodded and asked Ping'er and Suyun to send grandma there.When Grandma Liu came to Daoxiang Village, she felt elegant and noble in her familiarity. She couldn't help loving Li Wan, and said to Li Wan, "I used to follow the old lady to grandma's place, and I liked it very much in my heart. It is said that most of the people in our village are the same. So, why can't our house smell like this?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "You guys are the real ones. We're just pretending here. We just live on these vegetables and fruits. Usually, four or five women clean up every day, and there are two old mothers who tend to flowers. The garden is generally tended, so it looks cleaner and tidy."

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "I mean, all the vegetables and melons in Grandma's yard are so handsome, so it's because of the bodies of the melons and fruits."

This was an interesting remark, and everyone laughed.Li Wan took Grandma Liu to sit down in the back room, and ordered to show her a box of things that had been given to her.Grandma Liu said straight to the Buddha: "Why do you ask grandma to spend so much money?"

Li Wan said: "Take these things back and let the children play with them. The clothes are all new. I haven't worn them, so don't feel unlucky."

When Grandma Liu heard this, she quickly stood up and said, "We country people don't talk about these things. I heard that big families are not taboo anymore. Grandma, don't think too much about it."

Li Wan smiled and said, "Sit down, I'm not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry. In fact, our house doesn't care about these things, and my sisters and wives often wear them together. I'm afraid that some places outside will pay attention to this." , I just talked to you to make you feel at ease."

Grandma Liu held Li Wan's hand and sighed: "My good grandma, you are hard to find with a lantern like this, but it's a pity that your life is a bit hard. If there are girls in our place who are widowed, they will definitely not be ruined by a memorial archway." For the rest of my life, whether it is good or bad, I still need to find someone to marry. How much is my name worth? I am also a widow here, and I know the feeling inside the most clearly. The room is empty during the day, and the kang head is cold at night. Long nights are easy to endure? People only live for so many decades, don’t make yourself suffer.” After finishing speaking, Grandma Liu suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, and said with a red face, “What I said just now didn’t mean that much, grandma, don’t you? Don't……"

Li Wan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't tell others, I know you have good intentions."

Grandma Liu talked to Li Wan about many things. Li Wan ordered someone to prepare a meal for her and Ban'er. They both ate their tongues and thanked her. Li Wan sent someone to take them back to Sister Feng's place.

After Grandma Liu left, Li Wan took the scissors and cut the satin for the wormwood purse on the kang table, and only cut a few pieces. Grandma Liu's words suddenly came to mind, and she felt a lot of feelings in her heart.

It is not difficult for folks to remarry. It is quite common for a poor family to marry a sister-in-law or find another family.There are also those who observe festivals and set up archways, but they are a minority after all. Most of the mothers and fathers can't bear to see their daughters suffer, and would rather relax their conditions and marry their daughters to another husband.

However, rich families love face and do not lack money to worship widows in the family. For various reasons, fewer people remarry, and even fewer remarry with children.Although Jia's mansion is chaotic inside, it has a good reputation outside, and we cannot tolerate such things happening.

Even if he could tolerate it, Li Wan would not remarry.Lan'er can't have a remarried mother, she can't... As for the deserted days, she is used to it.

Li Wan picked up the satin and compared it, and sewed it according to the pre-thought pattern.Because he was absent-minded, he pricked his finger within a few needles. Li Wan put his fingertip in his mouth, and his mind drifted to a farther place.

When Jia Lan and Li Wan had dinner together at night, he suddenly said, "Mother, he's getting married."

Li Wan was taken aback: "Who?"

Jia Lan said: "Marquis of Chang'an, Zhou Ne."

The chopsticks in Li Wan's hand fell to the ground.After a while, she came back to her senses, took the new chopsticks from Suyun, and said, "Who is that man? How did you know him? Why should you care about whether he is married or not. Just now I thought it was Brother Jun, saying his age It's too small."

Jia Lan said: "I've been asking about him. It seems that the lady is not his favorite, it was a marriage gift."

Li Wan's heart was sour, and he still said calmly: "You are really strange, who is he? Does he like that young lady? What's the matter with you? Don't mention him, eat your meal."

Jia Lan took a few mouthfuls of rice, then raised her head and said, "It would be nice if Mother married him."

Li Wan put down the bowl and said in a trembling voice: "If you mention that sentence again, don't blame me for hitting your palm with a ruler!"

Jia Lan stubbornly put down the bowl too, and said: "Mother is willing to suffer for me, so she wants me to be that ungrateful beast? Uncle Bao said that a man who loses his wife can remarry, but a woman who loses her husband can't remarry. This is obviously unfair. Brother Jun also said that his mother forced a smile during the day, but she didn't even have anyone to rely on at night, and she often cried secretly."

Li Wan couldn't speak, his face was as white as paper, and as cold as ice: "Go back to your study, copy the family motto ten times tonight before going to bed."

Jia Lan stood up and left straight away. Before leaving, she turned her head to Li Wan and said, "I know about the portrait, why does mother keep lying to herself and me?"

Suyun Biyue was stunned. After a long time, Suyun coughed a few times and said, "Second Master Bao is really serious. What are you doing teaching my brother these bastard words? He doesn't like reading, so he made my brother It's almost ruined."

Bi Yue had no choice but to agree, "Originally, grandma said what my brother would do, but now that he's grown up, he talks back to grandma."

Li Wan said: "Who doesn't have the age to contradict. That's all. How did he know about Zhou Na?"

Suyun couldn't hide it, so he knelt down and said, "It's my fault. That day grandma ordered us to search the house for any portraits. My brother asked a few questions out of curiosity, but I didn't answer well, which made him even more confused. Presumably It was later leaked somehow.”

Li Wan helped Suyun up, sighed and said: "It's no wonder you, he is eccentric and terribly clever, just like his father."

Biyue hesitated for a while, then said timidly: "Actually... I think what my brother said is right, Grandma and Grandma Lou, don't they feel bitter when they look at the scenery outside?"

Suyun smiled and said: "Usually you are very clever, why are you confused now? You say this, grandma knows it is true, others say, I am afraid she will slap her. Who has the guts to ask for the grandma in our house? Grandma Guarding Lan'er, he is still the first grandchild in this house, and his ancestors will be better in the future. If grandma remarries and does not take him with her, who knows when she will be tortured to death? What is the situation in our house? Don't you know? If grandma takes him, what is brother in the new husband's house? Not to mention being bullied by the children behind him, even if he is alone, he will get a lot of gossip. Brother can't understand grandma for him You and your brother are messing around again."

Bi Yue shook her head and said, "According to this, grandma will be buried in this mansion for the rest of her life. A woman's life is really hard, and she can't help herself."

Li Wan smiled and said, "Go and get me something for bathing and grooming now. I'm tired today and I want to go to bed earlier." The two agreed.

After blowing out the lamp at night, Li Wan held up the Fengyue Jian and wanted to smash it, but he couldn't give up and kept it beside his pillow.

"See you again for the last time." Li Wan touched Fengyue Baojian's warm mirror and said, "After you get married, I shouldn't see you again. From now on, whether you are Zhou Na or Jia Zhu, you will be fine I am a stranger who has nothing to do with me. Although I don’t know why you know my appearance...but you were given a marriage, after all, it is because of fate.”

The night was deep, and Li Wan, who was tossing and turning, finally fell asleep.She realized that she did not come to Zhou's mansion, but was in a female boudoir. A beauty in a moon-white dress was sitting in the room, holding Zhou Ne's portrait in her hand. hands to go.

"I really didn't expect our son-in-law's portrait to be so popular. If I go later, I won't be able to buy it." A maid said with a smile: "No wonder the young lady likes him so much, and even entrusted our mother-in-law to ask for it from the Holy One." I mean, I have to marry him."

The beauty immediately became upset: "Don't mention this in the future, lest people say that I am a girl who desperately wants to marry a man."

The servant girl knew she had slipped her words, and lowered her head deeply.Seeing this, for some reason, Li Wan felt a sense of disgust in his heart, and turned around to leave, when suddenly another servant girl ran over in a panic and said to the beauty: "It's no good, miss, the news just came that my uncle died in battle." !"

Li Wan felt as if struck by lightning, unable to move.The beauty was also anxious, she stood up and shook the servant girl's shoulder and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Who sent the news?"

The maid said with tears in her eyes: "It's absolutely true, what the uncle just said. Miss Shengxiu has become a widow, and specially bestowed a memorial archway and a seal..."

The beauty rolled her eyes and passed out, Li Wan's heart was pierced, and she also passed out when her eyes went dark.When she opened her eyes again, she didn't return to Jia's mansion, but to a chaotic rocky seaside, where many soldiers and pirates were fighting each other.Li Wan was taken aback for a moment, then he came to his senses and hurried to find Zhou Na.She has small feet, even though she was running in a dream, she struggled. She fell and fell so many times that she found Zhou Ne, who was seriously injured and lying in the grass.There were shocking wounds all over his body, his face was covered with ashes, and he was dying at any time.Li Wan tremblingly wanted to take back the Chun Wan from his bosom, at this moment a man who looked like a general came over, Li Wan saw that his outfit was not the clothes of Japanese pirates like Zhou Na, so he thought he was here to save Zhou Na However, Zhou Na's eyes showed resentment and pain.

"So you already knew." The man said with a sneer, "I thought I was doing everything perfectly, but you are as cunning as a fox, and even collected evidence that I colluded with Japanese pirates. You are kind to me, but once this matter is exposed , that is the capital crime of Zhu Jiu Clan, so I have to wrong you. For the sake of saving my life, I will leave you a whole body!"

After that, the man viciously raised his knife and slashed at Li Wan.Li Wan screamed in surprise, and without even thinking about it, he rushed forward to block Zhou Na's knife.In that moment of trance, Zhou Na actually saw the woman whom he had dreamed of since he was a child appearing, and was still lying on his body trying to protect himself, so he couldn't help crying.

The man dropped the knife quickly and ruthlessly. Although Li Wan had no body, he felt a sharp pain and heard the sound of his body being torn apart... Just as the knife pierced through the two of them, Zhou Na's arms fell. The mirror-like object shattered, bursting out with dazzling brilliance...

The author has something to say: Nanzhu, Ba has not forgotten you!

Li Wan has not yet fully come out of Jia Zhu's shadow, so his feelings for Zhou Na are still mixed with his grief for Jia Zhu~ Zhou Na, come on!
