Zhen Lian of the Red Chamber

Zhenlian had no choice but to look at Liu Xianglian and wink at him, but Liu Xianglian smiled when she saw it, and drank a few more glasses.The angry Zhen Lian glared at him a few times, but he laughed even more happily.Smiling, he raised his wine glass and looked at Zhen Lian in one gulp, drank it all in one gulp, his face full of complacency.

Zhen Lian laughed helplessly, knowing that he must be a little drunk, otherwise he would not be like this.I had no choice but to let them go, and went to heat up the hangover tea, and regenerated the fire to boil some hot water for them to use later.

It took half a day for a few people to leave the table. They were all drunk and staggered when they walked.Aunts, cousins ​​and sisters-in-law all went to help each other, and Feng Su was also guilty of a serious crime, so Mother Zhen hurriedly went to help him.Zhen Lian saw that Liu Xianglian walked more steadily than others, but her face was flushed, and she walked over with anxiety.Seeing that his eyes were clear and bright, he felt relieved and poured wine and tea for him.

Liu Xianglian took a sip and murmured, "It's not good at all." ''

Zhen Lian smiled and asked: "Is it more comfortable?" ''Took the cup and shook his head,''What's so good about hangover tea, I don't even like the smell.Who told you to drink so much, you have to sober up, or you won't be able to sleep well at night. ''

Liu Xianglian just laughed a few times and didn't answer.Zhen Lian tilted her head to look closely at his face, but saw that although his eyes were clear, they were not as agile as before.She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, her eyes didn't move, and it took a long time to turn her head to look at Zhen Lian.

Zhen Lianfang confirmed that he is also drunk, but his drunkenness is not as obvious as that of ordinary people, so it is not easy to see.Seeing that everyone else was drinking tea and going back to their rooms, he hurriedly asked Zhen's mother Liu Xianglian's room.After everyone has left, I call Liu Xianglian,''I'll take you back to your room. ''

Seeing that Liu Xianglian couldn't get up, she said again: "Did you hear that?" '' shook his arm.

Only then did Liu Xianglian get up slowly. Seeing that he was staggering and about to fall, Zhenlian hurriedly grabbed his arm and helped him step by step to the guest room.

Looking around, there was only a bed and a stool in the room, so Liu Xianglian had to be supported to sit on the bed.Seeing that he was sitting still, Zhen Lian went out to the kitchen to bring a pot of hot water after saying a word, twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian glanced at it, took it with a blank face, wiped her face indiscriminately, and then put it down, Zhen Lian hurriedly reminded, "Wipe her hands too." ''

After he cleaned it up carefully, Zhen Lian took it over and gave him something to rinse his mouth with.After pouring out the water and changing the footbath, I took a basin of water and put it at Liu Xianglian's feet and said, "You wash it quickly, I'll get the quilt." ''

Go out and go with Mother Zhen to get the quilt and go into the house to spread it.Seeing that Liu Xianglian had also washed, she went over to carry the water to pour it out, but Liu Xianglian took it up first and went out a few steps to pour it out.Zhen Lian followed her out and pointed to the place for him to put the basin away, and when she entered the house to see that everything was ready, she said to Liu Xianglian, "Go to sleep, I'm going to sleep too." ''

Liu Xianglian has a good capacity for alcohol, and she was only half drunk after drinking a lot of wine today, so she followed Zhenlian's instructions in a daze.Hearing that she was about to leave, I couldn't help thinking about the last time I was drunk, and couldn't help blurting out: "Don't go! ''

Zhen Lian was taken aback when she heard the familiar words, looked at the familiar scene, and turned to look at him.Seeing him looking down at her, Zhen Lian said with a smile: "The wine is not sober yet!"It's getting late, you go to sleep. ''He lowered his head and turned to walk towards the door.

After walking a few steps, she was grabbed by her hand. Zhen Lian looked down, and her hand was firmly grasped from behind.Zhen Lian whispered: "Let go, I'm going to sleep!" ''

Liu Xianglian's grip was tighter, and the other hand also grabbed Zhen Lian's hand. She walked up to Zhen Lian and looked at her. After a long time, she said: "I don't want to let go. If you let go, you will go away." . ''

Zhen Lian slowly raised her head, and saw his clear eyes staring at her unblinkingly, the eyes were hot, filled with an indescribable emotion.

Zhen Lian raised her eyes and looked at him, and the two of them did not look away for a long time.

Zhen Lian couldn't bear the defeat at first and looked away, lowered her head and said with a smile: "You only need to do the same thing twice." ''Struggling to struggle, unable to break free tightly, he said in a serious tone:''Let go, or I'm going to be angry! ''

Liu Xianglian held Zhenlian's right hand on her chest with both hands, "Where you fell, you will get up."If I let go, I will spend my whole life in regret. I have missed one time and regretted one time, and I don’t want to regret it anymore! ''

Zhen Lian's heart beat wildly when she heard this, she lowered her head and said nothing, feeling her whole body was burning red.Remembering that he drank, he calmed down and said: "You are drinking now, you may forget what you said and did when you woke up tomorrow. ''

Liu Xianglian grabbed Zhenlian's hand, "I'm not drunk, everything I do and say comes from the heart, do you know that?" ''

Zhen Lian only said: "If you are sincere, then come and tell me after today!" ''

Liu Xianglian had no choice but to let go of her hand slowly, Zhen Lian took off her hand and went out the door.

He quickly walked out of the door and walked far away before stopping, touching his face, it was so hot.Thinking of what happened just now, I couldn't help but blush again.Standing and blowing the wind for a while, when the mood calmed down and the redness on his face dissipated, he turned and went back to the room.

Mother Zhen lived in a room in the right wing, opened the door to enter, and Mother Zhen was sitting there packing her things.Seeing Zhen Lian coming in, he pulled her to sit down, "Is Mr. Liu asleep?"

Zhen Lian said: "I've already fallen asleep, I just came back, have you washed up yet? I'll fetch water."

"I've already washed it, you just have to wash it yourself, you sit, I'll fetch water." Zhen's mother got up to go out, Zhen Lian hurriedly grabbed her, "I know where it is, just go by yourself."

After washing, she came back and sat down to talk to Mother Zhen. Mother Zhen touched Zhen Lian's face and sighed: "If your father is still here, I don't know how happy I am to see you!" ''Mother Zhen burst into tears when she thought of her husband who had become a monk and had disappeared.

She hated and complained before, and now that her daughter is lost and found again, she doesn't care about the hatred and resentment for a long time, and she has completely lost affection for the man who left her home.I just feel sorry for my daughter who lost her father, so she can only depend on herself in the future.

Zhen Lian hugged Zhen's mother gently, maybe everything has a cause and effect, although this is not her mother in the previous life, but seeing the feelings gushing out of her heart is not fake, this is her mother in this world.

Gently patting Mother Zhen's back, Zhen Lian said in a flat voice, "Where did father go?"

"I don't know either!" Thinking of this, I felt even more sad, and said after a while: "He just went out to relax as usual, but he never came back. I heard from the neighbors that he went to become a monk with a lame Taoist!"

Zhen Lian hugged her tightly and said in a low voice, "I will be with you from now on, and I will never leave you again!"

Mother Zhen suppressed her tears and forced a smile, "You're talking stupid! Don't you want to get married, girl?"

"Then I have to bring you to marry, otherwise I won't get married!" Zhen Lian smiled as she shook Mother Zhen's arm.

Zhen's mother shook her head dotingly, how can anyone bring their mother with them when they get married?What a child!I don't want to talk about this anymore, so I changed the subject, ""Tell me in detail how you have lived these years, you must have suffered a lot of grievances! ''

Zhen Lian shook her head with a smile, ""I'm not wronged, they raised me to sell to others, so what will happen to me. ''Hold out your hand to Mother Zhen' 'Look at my hand, it's so white and tender, it doesn't look like it has suffered, mother, don't think too much about it. ''

Mother Zhen took Zhen Lian's hand and looked at it carefully, and it was exactly as her daughter said, and she believed in her heart that her daughter was not beaten or scolded.But there are some things that can't be suffered only by beating and scolding. Knowing that her daughter is not far away, I know that I am worried, so I have no choice but to stop asking.

Get up, go to the big box next to the bed, open it, take out a stack of clothes and say: "This is what I made for you, and you can just wear it this year, come and try it out, if it doesn't fit, I'll change it . ''

Zhen Lian walked over to pick it up, looked into the big box, and saw that it was full of brightly colored clothes, knowing that it must not belong to Zhen's mother.Put down the clothes and unfold them one by one. They are all women's clothes of different sizes, with exquisite embroidery on them.

Zhen Lian's heart was hot, and her eyes were sore and swollen. Judging by the size and style, this was undoubtedly done for herself.There are all kinds of clothes from childhood to adulthood, and the bed is piled up with a variety of beautiful things.

Mother Zhen picked up a piece of clothing and said, "This piece was made when you were five years old. You disappeared back then, and we couldn't find you everywhere."The house was burned down again, and your father and I did it when we settled down on Zhuangzi. ''

He picked up another blue jacket, "This one was made when you were six years old. At that time, your father disappeared, and I was only able to settle down in your grandfather's house, so I sold needlework day and night. ''

Zhen Lian asked: "Has there been no news from my father?" ''

Mother Zhen nodded, ""After he left, there was no news of him again. We searched for a long time but couldn't find him, so that's all. ''

Zhen Lian didn't ask any more questions, she had no objection to this kind of disrespectful behavior, but he left his wife alone without even saying hello, whether he really likes this irresponsible behavior, let alone ask in detail It's his business.It's just that when Zhen's mother talked about him, if she didn't even ask herself, it would be bad, so she would speak.

Mother Zhen picked up another piece of clothing and started talking, and then opened another box, "Here are your clothes too, but they are all the size of your childhood, you have no chance to wear them!" ''

Zhen Lian saw it and said: "I can't wear it, but I can wear it for Wan'er. I think most of the clothes are still new, only some colors that can't be worn are not bright. I'm afraid they won't be able to wear them. It's a pity!" ''

''What's the pity, I'll just make it for you in the future, and I'm afraid I don't have any clothes to wear? ''Fold the clothes on the bed one by one, and said:''Wan'er has no shortage of clothes to wear, so why do I need these. ''

Zhen Lian said cheekily: "She doesn't want to leave it to your granddaughter in the future!" ''After speaking, I couldn't help laughing.

Zhen's mother smiled helplessly: "You are also a big girl, why are you so shameless, you should say kiss at this age." ''Thinking of this, I feel sad. My daughter has been living outside for so many years before returning, her reputation is always hindered, and there is no father or brother to rely on at home.Fortunately, I survived, otherwise my daughter would be lonely and helpless, and I vowed in my heart to take good care of my body and spend more years with my daughter.

Zhen Lian didn't care and smiled and said: "What's the matter, besides, you're not the only one here, I'm just telling you this in private, I don't dare to do this outside. ''

''As long as you know! ''Mother Zhen laughed, "Mr. Liu looks good to me, but his home is in Shenjing, which is too far away."

Zhen Lian couldn't help but feel hot when she thought of what happened just now.He smiled and said, "Mother really thinks it's good? How about I let him be your son-in-law?"

"I'm really not ashamed!" Mother Zhen shook her head helplessly, and couldn't help thinking about what her daughter said.

Zhen Lian took Zhen's mother's hand, and looked seriously into Zhen's eyes, "I'm not ashamed of my own affairs. No matter who it is, the most important thing is to find someone who can make my mother stay with me." I will go wherever my mother goes, and we will serve my mother together."

Mother Zhen's eyes moistened again when she heard that, and she sighed: "As long as you live well, it's fine for me to live here."

"I want Mother to follow me!" Zhen Lian said with a pitiful face after speaking: "Could it be that Mother doesn't want to follow Lian Er?"

Zhen's mother nodded helplessly, "Okay! Okay! It's all up to you! Wherever you are, mother will follow!" Knowing that this is impossible, she only coaxed her.

Zhen Lian is satisfied, if no one wants her mother to follow her, then she won't get married, and it doesn't mean that if she doesn't get married, she won't be able to live, so why force herself.If Liu Xianglian is also unwilling, then this heartbeat can only become a thing of the past.

He asked again: "Is your mother doing well in your grandfather's house all these years?"

Mother Zhen nodded and said, "There is no such thing as a bad life in my natal family. Although your grandfather can say something, he still loves me in his heart."

Zhen Lian knew that she was afraid that she would be worried, so she didn't elaborate. According to what she saw today, the Feng family is not bad, only the second cousin is not good.Now that I'm back, I can move out if I feel uncomfortable here, and I don't care about it anymore.

''Come and try on these clothes, all of which you can still wear now. ''Mother Zhen picked up some clothes and signaled Zhen Lian to change into them.

Zhen Lian tried them one by one, only two of them were too small, and the others could be worn.Mother Zhen took out those two pieces, "I saved the size one, just put it away""

Seeing that she had cut the wick and took out the sewing and was about to change her clothes, Zhen Lian walked over and took her hand to take out the clothes and put them away, "It's already late today, and besides, sewing at night is not good for the eyes, so I'll do it later." do it."

With no clothes in hand, and seeing her daughter being so considerate, she no longer persisted.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two also turned off the lights and went to sleep.
