Hometown beacon smoke old time shadow

Xiaozhen listened to Jingxian describing her beautiful future life on her own, her face turned red and pale.She knew that in the eyes of many people, she was like a widow in the Shen family, but she was a big girl with a straight face and combed hair.Although, after all these years, she can't live without Shen Yuan and Jing Xian.She once said that she would serve the eldest grandma for the rest of her life, but it seemed that it was only regarded as a confession of loyalty and was not really accepted.After all, as kind as Jing Xian, how could she bear to see her live a lonely life without children.

Xiaozhen was in a daze, instead of resigning as usual, she went back to her room in a daze.Jingxian only hid when she was surprised and shy when she got such good news suddenly, and didn't bother with her.After a hasty breakfast, she went to reply to Zhaoquan's letter. No matter what, she had to ask the other party to send a photo to see each other, so that she could rest assured.

With such a hot-tempered personality like Zhaoquan, he sent a photo within a few days. The person in the photo is dressed in military uniform, also known as the sword-browed and star-eyed.Jingxian herself looked satisfied, and when she asked Xiaozhen, the girl just blushed and didn't speak.There is no one in the family who can discuss such matters together.After thinking about it, she asked Zhaoshi to go to the room after dinner.

Hearing about Xiaozhen, Zhaoshi blushed first, and slightly cupped his hands at Xiaozhen: "Congratulations, Auntie." Then he lowered his head and said to Jingxian: "For such matters, it is natural that sister-in-law decides, Zhaoshi Don’t talk nonsense.” Jingxian sighed, “Of course I know it’s not proper to tell you this matter, it’s not that there’s no other adult in the family except you.” Zhaoshi still didn’t look up: “Whatever needs to be done, my sister-in-law told Zhaoshi to do it. As for people, it is natural that sister-in-law decides, but, but, I still have to be satisfied with my aunt." After speaking, she glanced at the direction where Xiaozhen was standing.Xiaozhen twisted the handkerchief, bit her lips until they turned white, and said in a daze, "Xiaozhen is entirely up to Grandma." After speaking, she left.Jingxian smiled, "My child, I panicked when I mentioned this these two days, and I lost all manners, so I walked away." Zhaoshi raised his head and said to Jingxian at this time: "Sister-in-law I told her this to my face, and she really couldn't bear it." Jingxian said: "I know that, but it's strange today, I forced her to ask her a whole day and refused to answer me a word, in front of you, She said she let me make the decision. Since she wants to marry someone, she can't be said to be our aunt of the Shen family. Talk harder. I discussed with your elder sister and asked her to find two better shops in Wuhan. As for the soft and soft things to carry with you, I don’t think it’s easy to carry other things except jewelry and clothes, so I bought two more. It's a decent watch. I don't know much about this foreign thing, you read those foreign pictorials all day long, and then you go to the department store to buy two for me." "Yes" Zhaoshi nodded and agreed.

Since Xiaozhen nodded, Jingxian immediately forced her to go to the photo studio to take a picture and come back.Before leaving, remembering that Xiaozhen still had her hair up, she changed the time with the photo studio and took her to have her hair permed first.Xiaozhen came back with curly hair, Huanzhu and Zhenghai just smiled when they saw it, Lianzhou raised her small face and said, "Not as good-looking as my aunt." Jingxian patted him: "That's because you have seen your aunt perm her hair since you were a child. Now Seeing that my aunt is not used to this." After speaking, she seemed to remember something: "Oh, since she is said to be my younger sister, this name has to be changed, and I will call it aunt in the future." Lianzhou said again: "It's not as nice as aunt." Jing Xian was also annoyed: "A title, what's good or bad." Lian Zhou didn't say anything and threw herself into Xiaozhen's arms, giggling and calling her aunt.

According to the order of his sister-in-law, Zhaoshi went to the department store to pick out two Swiss watches and gave them to Xiaozhen.He entered Xiaozhen's room and smiled: "After so many years in the same family, I have never entered your room." Xiaozhen pursed her lips and said, "That's the second master who is polite and sensible." Zhaoshi hurriedly said : "Now that I recognize my sister-in-law as my sister, I can just call me Zhaoshi." Said and put two watches on the table, "My sister-in-law ordered me to buy them, one is a classic style, and the other is a new model this year. I don’t know if it suits you, so just take it with you.” Xiaozhen opened the box and looked at it, nodded and said, “I like it very much, thank you.” Zhaoshi waved his hand: “Thank you sister-in-law, I didn’t do anything.” Then he thought for a while and said: "Think about it, what else needs my help to buy, just open a list." Xiaozhen wanted to say something, but swallowed it back, and replied politely: "No more work, thank you .” Zhaoshi nodded and turned to leave.When her hand touched the doorknob, she turned her head and asked, "You are happy, aren't you?" Xiaozhen was stunned, she didn't know.From the age of 15, she was arranged to be married by her parents, and then arranged by her grandma to work, take care of the house, read and write, and keep accounts, and now she was arranged to marry again. They were all for her own good, but no one asked her if she was happy , she hadn't asked herself.She didn't know whether she should be happy or not, it always seemed that she was happy when others were happy.But it was the year when Sang Zhi got married, she asked Sang Zhi if she would marry into that family, and considering the circumstances at that time, she was willing, but now I heard that Sang Zhi even gave birth to a child.Seeing that she was silent, Zhaoshi explained: "I think, it is only happy to find someone who you think is good to live with." Xiaozhen smiled: "I understand what you mean, you showed me I have read those magazines too. But, I don’t know anyone, I think grandma, no, my sister is always looking out for my own good. So, I should be happy.” Zhaoshi nodded: “I’m happy Just fine."

After Zhaoshi left, Xiaozhen opened the two boxes containing the watches, and when she wound them, both watches clicked.Her life in the Shen family is as precise as this Swiss watch. The time of getting up every day, the time of breakfast, the time of checking accounts, and the time of reading are almost all set, and such a precise life may be about to change soon.She thought of Sangzhi again, and Sangzhi also married a man who looked good.But that man married the most powerful girl beside his grandmother, and he didn't appreciate the Shen family's kindness, so he abandoned the Shen family and became a manager of a department store not long after.From now on, Sangzhi has no face to face Jingxian, and dare not enter the gate of Shen Yuan again. Thinking about how fresh and refreshing the tall and tall Sangzhi used to be, because she is a girl who has never been out of the cabinet, she is even more handsome than her aunt. Be more aggressive, and now she is so cowardly and cowardly, she doesn't want to be like this.However, this man's affairs, how can she do the master's work?

Xiaozhen has also seen the photo sent by Zhaoquan, and the person in the photo doesn't dislike his appearance, but she doesn't know if living with this person who doesn't look distasteful is something that makes her happy.Xiaozhen lay on the bed and pulled back the quilt to cover her face, a silhouette of a man appeared in front of her eyes, the yellow light from the desk lamp looked warm, and the silhouette of the man illuminated was plated with gold.He lowered his head, holding a small regular script in his hand, and copied stroke by stroke the inscription in front of him.As Xiaozhen got closer, the man raised his head, looked at her, thanked her, then lowered his head to write again.His hair smelled of shampoo, which Xiaozhen sent someone to buy, and it smelled like chamomile; the collar of his shirt was white and straight, the shirt was ironed by Xiaozhen, and it was starched before ironing; The hand holding the pen is beautiful, with slender fingers, and the blue blood vessels under the snow-white skin can be seen on the back of the hand. In addition to writing, this hand also took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Xiaozhen. Put your palm on your chin to prevent the debris from falling on the table.Xiaozhen wanted to stretch out her hand to hold him, but he disappeared in front of her eyes.

She threw off the quilt, and felt a little suffocated after hiding in it for too long, and at the same time resented herself for thinking of these things for no reason.She got up and opened the window, Huang Meitian's moisture poured in, she could only close it angrily again.She turned around and rummaged through the cabinet, and took out two pages of paper, which were imitations that Zhao Shi had written to her when she was teaching her to read and write. After being in the cabinet for a long time, and the weather was humid, there were some moldy spots on the rice paper.Xiaozhen found a match, and burned the two pages of paper in the flower pot. The ashes of the paper smelled burnt. She became impatient and dug some soil into the flower pot to cover the ashes.

After the summer, the person from Wuhan came to pick up Xiaozhen.Knowing that Jingxian is a conservative, Zhaoquan deliberately went back to Shanghai with Chen Xiangfan.In this way, there are people who greet relatives and send relatives off.Although new life and civilized weddings are advocated nowadays, this time Xiaozhen married someone and became a wife, which is much more beautiful than last time.Jingxian is in charge of everything inside and out. In the dowry, all kinds of jewelry and clothes are available for the four seasons. She wears the deed of an apartment in Wuhan next to her body, and the account books of two shops in the cage. This is the case when the young lady of a wealthy family in the country gets married. Let's accompany it.Zhaoshi was a little distracted, and wandered to the bookstore in the concession to read books. Finally, he couldn't help but bought two books and wanted to give them to Xiaozhen by Huanzhu's hand.This is a confidential matter, and the elder sister-in-law must not know it. However, Huanzhu, who is only ten years old, seems to have read his heart, and the look in his eyes is clearly asking him to rest assured that he will send it secretly.It's just that the child looked down at the two books, one was "Hua Jian Ci" and put it down, and the other was the novel "Sorrow for the Past". She looked at Zhao Shi with some embarrassment after reading the name, as if asking: "Is this kind of novel a gift for someone else's wedding?" Zhaoshi also thought it was inappropriate, so he pulled out that book.However, at this time, it seems inappropriate to send a lonely book.Huanzhu led him into her room, and took out the flower paper she made herself from the drawer. The pink and yellow petals on the letter paper seemed to be picked by Xiaozhen in the yard for her in spring.In addition, I found a willow-style "Diamond Sutra" by Lian Zhoulin. Although it is not yet mature, it is naive and cute after all, and there is also a bamboo painting by Zhenghai.This Zhenghai stayed with Huanzhu for a long time, and he was able to draw a few strokes, but this kid didn't like anything else, so he just painted bamboo with all his heart. Everyone in the family knew his feelings for Huanzhu, so they all followed suit him.Huanzhu put the written things together, found a small furoshiki embroidered with hydrangeas, wrapped it carefully, and showed it to Zhaoshi.

On the one hand, Zhaoshi lamented Huanzhu's intelligence, and on the other hand it was funny. After all, he was still mixed with several children.

On the day of departure, although it was early autumn, the weather was still unbearably hot.The whole family got up early in the morning, and let people carry their luggage to the pier first.Originally said to leave by train, but the new uncle said that the weather is hot, and the boat can still blow the wind from the river, which is probably better than being stuffy in the tin can on the train.

The newcomer kowtowed to Jingxian in the living room, Jingxian hurriedly pulled her back, "Since she is sister and brother-in-law, how can she bear this." The groom stood up, but Xiaozhen couldn't help crying, and everyone was struggling to pull him up.Jingxian hugged Xiaozhen in her arms, and wiped the tears off her face with a handkerchief: "The makeup is all over, how can I go out? Wuhan is not far from Shanghai, so come back and live for a while if you feel homesick." Xiaozhen Nodding his head, he moved out step by step.

After Lianzhou came to Shen's house, Jingxian was often busy with business matters, and Xiaozhen took care of the small matters of eating and dressing at home. Now that Xiaozhen was leaving, the child actually held her hand firmly, Not allowed to go out.Xiaozhen squatted down and said it was useless, he didn't cry or make a fuss, just pursed his mouth, stared, and held on tightly, refusing to let go at all.No matter what, Xiaozhen couldn't bear to break that little hand away forcefully, and persuaded herself to shed tears again.The bridegroom officer was a little anxious, looked down at his watch, and whispered, "Don't miss the boat." Hearing this, Lianzhou raised his eyes and stared at him, as if the person in front of him had robbed his aunt.Seeing that it was nothing wrong, Zhao Shi used some strength to pull away Lianzhou's hand, and Lianzhou burst into tears.Xiaozhen turned around and came back to coax him, but Zhaoshi shook his head at him.Finally, he was led by the groom and walked into the yard.Zhaoshi was annoyed by Lian Zhou's crying, so he slapped him twice on the buttocks, "Why are you crying? It's not embarrassing in front of outsiders." He locked him in the study and let him cry enough before coming out.
