[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

Xi Xiahua's body was placed on the door panel and brought by a wheelbarrow.

The cold and stiff body was covered with a piece of sackcloth, fearing that the wind would blow it away, the boy pushing the cart pressed down the corners with several pieces of gravel of different sizes.After delivering the body to the door of Xi's house, the young man spat out of luck and walked away quickly.

Mrs. Xi was feeling lonely in the house at that time, lamenting the emptiness of the house, when she heard Steward Li crawling in to make an announcement, she almost ran to the door.

On the deserted avenue, there is only this door panel parked, with willows on both sides, and the edge of the plain sackcloth is turned over, and the outline of a human figure can be vaguely seen inside.Xi Xiahua was too thin, so thin that he couldn't tell that there was a corpse hidden inside.

Xi Xiahua's death was extremely tragic. She was hanged to death, so her tongue was sticking out long, her eyes were about to split open, her eyes couldn't close, and she could see traces of blood next to her dilated pupils, and her bluish white cheeks She was so thin that she was sunken, and there was a black and purple strangle mark on her neck.The end is very scary.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xi was in a daze.The hand she leaned over to hold on to the corner of the linen trembled violently, and she leaned back slightly, as if she was about to fall into the ground in the next moment.

He sent the children under his knees out one by one with his own hands, but greeted their bodies one after another.Before the news of Xi Yuanzhen's death, Mrs. Xi had already described her as stunned, and the girl's sudden death left her devastated.It's all the flesh that fell from her body, besides, Xi Xiahua is the one that hurts the most in her heart.For most of her life, the old lady fought in the house when she was a girl in the boudoir, and took care of the squire's house for dozens of years after she got married. She has seen how many people are indifferent. Didn't they all come up step by step on the blood and tears of others?But what is the use of power and money?In the end, one person still has to bear the pain of successive bereavements.

When tidying up my aunt's body, the nanny found a letter that was folded squarely from Xi Xiahua's body.Mrs. Xi didn't dare to open the letter for a while, she endured the sudden burst of tears, and then slowly opened the letter with a sigh of relief.

As expected by the old lady, it was Song Cheng—that is, the absurd tyranny of Xia Hua's husband, which made Xi Xia Huayuan suffer every day in Yongzhou, and finally chose to die to escape.She wrote simply, but only a few lines.Xia Hua used half of his pen and ink to say that he is not filial, if there is an afterlife, he should be filial to his mother, so that his mother does not have to hurt deeply for her, it should be such a catastrophe.

Mrs. Xi only knew that Song Cheng treated Xia Hua badly, but she didn't know how bad he was. She only knew that her girl was wronged, but she didn't know where the wrongedness was.The old lady's chest was stuffy and hard to express, she gritted her teeth and wanted someone to go to Yongzhou to grab Song Cheng and come out to serve him well. Even if it was for the Xi family's future, the entire Song family would be ruined.But at the end of the letter, Xi Xiahua seemed to understand the old lady's mind, and advised her to think twice before acting in anger. Song Cheng had a close relationship with the officials and should not act rashly, and this was her own choice. Song Cheng has nothing to do.

The golden sunlight streamed down from the corner of the eaves and fell on the wrinkled corners of old lady Xi's eyes.She seemed to see Xia Hua's sincere and warm smile when he was young, his plump cheeks were like blooming flowers, and a "mother" could touch the heart's heart.But how did such a fresh girl become such a miserable appearance?

She lowered her hand, as if she had lost all strength in her hand, and the paper fell to the ground like a dead leaf.She seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, so old that she could hardly hold on anymore, so old that she was almost buried in the ground.She bent down slowly and sat down on the bench, the whole house was so quiet that she could clearly hear her lifeless breathing.

The carriage was in a hurry, and the four of them arrived at the gate of Xi's house before the day arrived.

Xi Wanxiang hadn't been in such a bumpy carriage for a long time. When she was walking on the bumpy mountain road, she finally couldn't help lying on the window of the car and vomited completely.In the morning on the mountain where she was accidentally knocked by a sharp rock, she still had a dull pain. She never told her cousin, nor did she take any medicine, and the feeling disappeared after a long time.

Getting off the carriage, Yin Tang held Xue Hua with one hand, and supported Wan Xiang with the other.Xi Wanxiang didn't want to make herself look so weak, but she was really about to vomit and collapse. As soon as her legs touched the ground, her knees started to feel stuffy and painful again, so she had to let her sister-in-law support her and limped along. Entered the gate.And that big fat cat really followed its owner, looking sickly and unhappy, and fell asleep in Yin Dang's arms like motion sickness.

After more than a year, the old element on the plaque has not been replaced, and it is wrapped with new white.

Because it was getting late, I heard from Mother Song that the old lady was in a bad mood these past few days, she fell asleep after dinner with difficulty, and she was probably sleeping soundly at the moment.They didn't bother the old lady, and asked the servants to tidy up their respective rooms, then said goodbye and went down to rest.

Late in the spring, the cicadas are singing loudly, and the house is still not dead.

Wan Xiang's room was in front of the house, and after watching her sister-in-law walk away from the corridor, she sat alone under the eaves for a while, thinking of Aunt Xia Hua, although she was not familiar with her, she was related by blood after all. Dear people.During the few meetings, she also felt that she was forbearing and pitiful. She also heard from her mother that when she was young, she disobeyed orders and left home because of her one-sided love. Waiting for the hopeless environment and mentality to grind, and then lose the integrity of defying feudalism in the past.No matter what it is, it makes people feel extremely sad.

Xi Wanxiang's heart was heavy. She turned over the bottom of her trousers, only to realize that the wound on her knee was not only scratched, but also a piece of skin had fallen off and bled. It hurts a lot.

No, I still have to go to Jinlian and ask her to bring the ointment.

After realizing that he was seriously injured, the wound began to hurt very arrogantly, and it felt piercing when he exerted a little force.Xi Wanxiang managed to get to the house of his cousin's sister-in-law, but found that the house was completely dark.

The cousin is already asleep?Wan Xiang was inexplicably disappointed, so she had to continue walking back with a limp. She walked for a while with her head downcast, and then she remembered that she was not here to find her cousin, but Jinlian!

Xi Wanxiang felt that she was a little funny, so she had to turn back.Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, he bumped into Jinlian who was leaving in a hurry.

"Hey, Second Miss?" Jinlian was surprised, "You don't sleep, what are you doing running out in the middle of the night?"

"Aren't you the same? I went to my sister-in-law's just now, but she's already gone to bed?"

Jinlian shook his head, a little embarrassed.The eyes of the second lady seemed to be persuasive, and being stared at by her, Jinlian had no choice but to stammer: "Young Madam said that I won't let you tell me... that is, shortly after returning to the room, the old lady woke up and told her In the past, she passed by. But she hasn't come out yet, it's almost half an hour, which is really worrying. I waited at the door, so sleepy that I couldn't keep my eyes open, so I had to go back..."

When Xi Wanxiang heard this, she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, she seemed to forget the pain in her leg, and ran straight to the old lady's house.

The candles in the house were brightly lit, but through the closed windows, nothing could be seen clearly.Xi Wanxiang leaned against the crack of the door and listened carefully for a while, but couldn't catch even a single sentence, let alone a complete sentence.She had no choice but to walk a few steps away, casually plucking a long piece of dog's tail grass, and weaving a ring to play with.

There seemed to be movement inside, and what was heard was the sound of the chair moving.Wan Xiang didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, so she quickly jumped up from the bench, but when she turned around, she caught a glimpse of a low-rise shadow hiding behind the pillars from the corner of her eye.Before I could take a closer look, the black shadow suddenly disappeared.

Wan Xiang was about to follow for a few steps, when she had a closer look, the door opened, and the sister-in-law came out of the house, turned around and closed the door, she didn't seem surprised to see Wan Xiang.

Seeing her cousin looking at her, Wanxiang felt the embarrassment she felt when she secretly said good things in front of her grandmother behind her back and was finally discovered by her. She immediately gave up her plan to track down the shadow, and walked towards Yin Chan with a smile on her lips. "Sister-in-law, I'm the one who came to look for you. She was so sleepy that her eyelids were fighting, so let me pick you up."

Yin Chan didn't bother to pierce her, and she couldn't stand it when she came out of the lifeless room. Besides, it was late at night, and her mind was a little dizzy.Yin Tang took Wan Xiang's hand very naturally, and Gu Zi walked to the side: "Your grandmother is explaining the funeral to me."

The cousin's voice was very soft, as soft as a sad sigh.

It is rare for the sister-in-law to speak so clearly before and after without concealment. She walked slowly, talking in detail about all the matters that the old lady explained to her just now, from the bank to the house, and now The imminent funeral, no matter how big or small, was broken up one by one, so that Yin Tang knew it well, and even gave Yin Tang the keys to the storehouse at home, such a heavy key.

Wan Xiang followed the pace of her cousin's sister-in-law, not daring to take a quick step, nor did she dare to take a slow step, she even wanted to sink her breath to the bottom of her heart and lungs.She felt distressed when she heard it, so she took a peek at the sister-in-law. The sister-in-law is only 22 years old, and it should be the time when she is the most beautiful. Get up and keep it?If it was Wan Xiang, she would wish she would not leave Yin Dang even a single step, just let her be lazy all day long with nothing to worry about.But look at her now, she has become the busiest person in the family.

But in the present moment, what other way is there?Didn't Wan Xiang try her best to collect all the power and money of the Xi family and put it under the name of the sister-in-law?At that time, Wanxiang was worried that her cousin would be bullied and looked down upon in this house, but now she felt even more sorry for her burden, and wanted her to live a more relaxed life without any worries.

Yin Tang was still chattering, her tone was flat and without much emotion.It seems that Mrs. Xi's emotions have also infected her, as if she has seen through everything about this impermanence and let go of it with clarity and sadness.

Wan Xiang listened, and began to worry about her grandmother again.Although the old lady is serious and sometimes ruthless, she always treats herself well.After so many years, Wan Xiang also developed a feeling of reluctance for the old lady.It's just that it's too late now, and it's not good to bother grandma any more, so Wanxiang has no choice but to give up and visit her again tomorrow.

Finally at the front of the cousin's room, Wanxiang woke up suddenly, and followed her unknowingly. Before that, the cousin had made an agreement with her three times before, not letting him sleep with her!Wan Xiang hesitated to leave, but her cousin grabbed her arm and glanced at her: "Listen to Jin Lian, you've been knocked down? Walking so uncomfortable, it must be very painful. Go to sleep after taking the medicine, Tomorrow will be fine."

This is to keep people.

Wan Xiang didn't care if she really meant it, or her cousin saw it, so she said "Okay~" and followed into the house.

As if nothing had changed, she was always reckless and kept hurting herself.And the sister-in-law always patiently applied ointment for herself.Wan Xiang was a little embarrassed, it was obviously her own carelessness that caused her cousin to go missing, and she still made her worry about herself for no reason at such a time when the house was not peaceful.But watching her carefully treat the wound for herself, not even daring to take a breath, Wan Xiang couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, and even the pain became amiable.

When uncovering the fabric of the obscene trousers that was glued to the knee and the wound, Yin Chan's brows were tightly knit together, and he didn't make a sound when he was injured like this.In fact, Wan Xiang's wound was not serious, but seeing it dripping with blood, Yin Chan's heart ached unbearably.

After finally treating the wound, a drizzle began to fall outside the window.The rain oozes silently, like fog but not fog, floating in through the window, bringing with it a sense of desolation.

Wan Xiang seemed to want to say something else, but Yin Tang didn't give her a chance to change into her underwear, then blew out the candles and lowered the curtain.

After a long time, the rain seems to be getting heavier, hitting the leaves quickly and crisply.The eastern sky has faintly shown blue and white, and everything in the world is shrouded in haze.

Yin Dang didn't fall asleep all this time, finally opened his eyes, looking at Wan Xiang's sleeping face.The girl's youthful and slightly childish face was similar to that of when she first married into Xi's family.They were so close, yet so far apart.Yin Tang wanted to touch Wan Xiang's smooth cheeks as usual, her soft skin was bulging with baby fat, it was a joy to touch.

What old lady Xi told her, she told Wanxiang everything, as if she regarded little Wanxiang as the most trusted person.But the last thing the old lady told her was never mentioned in front of Wanxiang.

The old lady asked Yin Chan to find a husband worthy of her for Wan Xiang, and wanted an official, not a merchant.Yin Yang was dumb and didn't nod, but the old lady begged again and again, her voice was choked and hoarse, and her attitude was so low that she had never seen it before.Yin Tang finally pulled the corners of his lips and agreed to her with a smile.

A husband worthy of evening fragrance...

Yin Chan couldn't think of anyone.The finger paused for a long time, then retracted.She didn't feel sleepy, so she continued to look at Wan Xiang in a trance.

Human beings, the most difficult and most fearful thing is your own heart.If the heart has been shaken, how can it be ruthless?
