Chapter 16
"What you need now is to have a good rest. Be sure to keep warm. I'll pour you a glass of brown sugar water." Liu stretched out his arms to hold Su Miao's knees, picked her up carefully, put her on the bed gently, and tucked her quilt , Thinking of the little knowledge of physiology before, said caringly.
Su Miao hugged Liu's neck, and stared at Liu's back with a smile, like a beautiful orchid blooming happily.
Liu bent over and slightly raised his lips, a red corner on the dressing table flashed from the corner of his eyes, and then a trace of inexplicable anxiety and apprehension suddenly flashed in his heart.She hesitated for a while, Su Miao coughed twice, she put the unease behind her, and asked with concern, "Why, are you uncomfortable?"
"Ahem..." Su Miao covered herself with a handkerchief, coughed intermittently, and said with a smile, "It's okay. It may be a little cold these days, so you should catch a cold." She leaned on the pillow peacefully, her eyes following the willow The busy figure before and after, smiling like spring flowers.
Liu raised her head and stared at Su Miao's pale face, thinking that she would indeed be much weaker during this period, and would be extremely susceptible to colds, so she sat down beside her bed with great worry, and brushed her rough fingertips on Su Miao's messy forehead. She put her wet long hair behind her ears, looked at her softly with calm eyes, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, I'm here. Don't think too much about it."
Su Miao nodded obediently, and drank the brown sugar water shyly in Liu's hand, the warm sugar water was sweet and mellow like spring.She suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously, "Xiao Xiao, what happened to Xia Zhu, the maid who served in my room?"
Liu thought for a while, then remembered that there seemed to be such a small character, and hesitated, "I didn't pay much attention to it, it seemed that there was a maid in the kitchen, so I cast spells on her to make her fall asleep." She frowned again, "You don't care about these things. Don’t even think about it, taking good care of your body is the most important thing!”
"En," Su Miao breathed a sigh of relief, finally Liu didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and didn't disturb many people; she looked at Liu reluctantly, and she usually leaves at this time, "Xiao Xiao, please stay with me Me." I don't know why, at this moment, my heart is empty and cold, and I yearn for companionship and warmth.
Liu nodded, and gently leaned against Su Miao's bed, chatting with Su Miao one after another.
"Xiao Xiao, why don't you smile! I've never seen you smile!" Su Miao opened her eyes wide, looking at Liu full of curiosity.
"Um," Liu was taken aback.It has been so many years, she has almost never smiled, and she may have forgotten how to laugh.
"Hey! If you want to do this, bend the corners of your mouth upwards, relax your facial muscles, and it's best to bend your eyes!" Su Miao stretched out her white fingertips, pinched Liu's stiff cheeks, and gently pulled them to the sides.
Liu was teased by Su Miao's gentle and rascally teasing, but actually smiled very faintly.
"Puchi!" Su Miao laughed loudly, pointing at Liu's sluggish smile, she was overjoyed, the rosy blood stained her cheeks, like a flushed rose in the water, "Xiao Xiao, no wonder you never smile!"
Liu stared at Su Miao in a daze, seemingly puzzled by her words.
Su Miao smiled more cheerfully, leaning close to Liu, the tip of her nose was almost touching the tip of her nose, her eyes as bright as the bright sunlight reflected by the morning dew fell on Liu's cheeks, and her warm breath hit Su Miao's lips She couldn't help swallowing.
I saw Su Miao staring at her cheeks seriously, and suddenly smiled cheerfully, couldn't help laughing while hugging her stomach, "Xiao Xiao, you are so cute when you smile! Do you know that! Hey!" Yo, you usually keep a sullen face and don't smile, are you afraid that when you smile, you will show two dimples, and you will be suspected of being cute!"
Liu didn't know why, so he could only smile with a tense expression on his face.
Su Miao looked at Liu's serious appearance at this time, and she tried to straighten her face before she failed, "Xiao Xiao, you should smile more! Really, you are very cute when you smile, ah no, you look good!" "
Liu obviously didn't believe it, and looked suspiciously at Su Miao's pink lips, which were like petals, opening and closing, sometimes pursing slightly, pink and tender, like the freshest stamen on a branch.
"Really!" Su Miao promised with a non-serious smile, "Your pair of dimples are really beautiful!"
Liu Cai didn't care, and suddenly blocked Su Miao's naughty little mouth, and bit it down.
Su Miao was stunned, she didn't know whether she forgot to struggle or what, but she was stunned and motionless, looking at Liu Weiwei's closed eyes with sparkling eyes, a smile sneaked into her eyes.
Liu gave a quick kiss, it was sweet and sweet, and it was soft, really like the taste of flower petals; but in a blink of an eye, she ran out of the window with a blushing face, and said, "I'll come see you tomorrow!"
Su Miao's eyes are extraordinarily bright, as moist as water, touching her wet lips, it's like pink peach blossoms slowly creeping up to her heart along the path in her heart, bright as if all things are revived when spring returns to the earth, and the delicate flower buds are just about to move.She blushed and said softly, "What, I'm leaving now!" She turned around and buried her head in the pillow.
The next day, when Su Miao woke up, she felt groggy. The gloomy sky outside the window spread into the room, and her head hurt a little.She called "Xia Zhu", but was startled by the hoarseness of her voice.
Xia Zhu hurried in with tea, and seeing Su Miao's abnormal expression, she was startled, "Miss! What's wrong with you? This servant is going to find Madam!"
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly put the tea on the table, turned around and left with small steps.
Su Miao didn't have time to stop her, she froze there and sighed.This Xia Zhu, who has not served her for a long time, is very loyal to her, but his actions are too impulsive and reckless. Maybe he grew up in a rural farm and has no rules; the Su family is not considered a wealthy family, and the rules are relatively loose. , and she is more kind to the servants. Although a maid like her will be reprimanded, she will not be sold out casually.
only……
She grew up in the backyard for 13 years. Although she never lacked monthly allowances and corresponding subsidies, she always felt that there was an indelible gap between her and the front yard; she almost never saw her father, even during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival. It is a sumptuous dinner with a small meal of meat and vegetables in the backyard alone.And ever since her father remarried, she has been exempted from the night and day. She has never met Yao Shi, so she is content with her own little world, guarding the little secrets.
This time, Xia Zhu ran to look for Yao Shi ignorantly, will Yao Shi think that she ordered it?
Su Miao felt a little dizzy.She didn't want to meet Yao's nominal mother, whom she had never met before, she just wanted to live her little life in her own yard.
Yao's boudoir name is Suxin, and she was also surprised when the eldest servant girl Jingxin told her.
When she married Su Shen that day, the former wife had passed away for ten years, and Su Shen had to go through the formalities to marry. From this point of view, Su Shen is a long-term lover, which made her feel at ease.And she already knew that the Su family had an unembarrassing girl who was left behind by her original spouse. She was raised in the inner house and was unknown to outsiders, so she was definitely not favored; but since she married into the Su family, she had already seen that Su Although Shen seemed to be very indifferent to the eldest girl whose boudoir name was Su Miao, and never visited her, but she never forgot to ask the maids and women to take good care of her, and to send over any jewelry and cakes; several times , she saw Su Shen staring blankly at the direction of the backyard, with a very melancholy expression.
Yao shi knew that Su Shen had feelings for that girl.He should love his first wife very much. He has regretted the past, and his longing for the dead woman has deepened day by day. At first, he felt uncomfortable because he would think of the dead wife when he saw his daughter, and he just avoided himself.Over the years, he really wanted to visit his daughter, but he stopped at the door of the backyard a few times, hesitated for a long time and then walked back lonely, probably because he felt too guilty for her daughter and was ashamed to face it; The longer the time, the worse the guilt.
Yao Shi didn't feel wronged.It was planned for her to marry Su Shen. She had inquired about the situation of Su Shen's family and his character thoroughly, so naturally she knew about this situation, and this happened to coincide with her thoughts.
She had no intention of competing with the dead woman for Su Shen's favor—she didn't love Su Shen in the first place.In this marriage, she and Su Shen each get what they need.Su Shen wanted a virtuous wife and a son who was born on the same day; but what she wanted was a peaceful back house, and a lot of time to squander, so that she could study Buddhism carefully.
If according to her true intentions, she doesn't want to marry, but just wants to live a lifetime of green lights and ancient Buddhas, and stay away from the world of mortals. What others think is boring and lonely, in her opinion, is peace of mind.It's just that she couldn't bear her mother's crying and pleading, so she chose a husband-in-law who she thought could best achieve her goal, even if she married her just to fill in the house.
Su Shen's infatuation just happened to fulfill her.Since Su Tan was born, he never had sex with her, and it was much more convenient for her; she also felt at ease when he put Su Tan by his side to teach him personally.As for the girl in the backyard who seemed to know nothing about the world, she never thought of getting involved.
She is now reading the "Great Compassionate Heart Dharani Sutra" for the fifth time, and she has compassion in her heart: "The heart of great compassion is the heart of equality, the heart of inaction, the heart of non-defilement, the heart of emptiness, and the heart of respect. This is the mind, the humble mind is the same, the mind without confusion, the mind without seeing and the mind is the mind of the supreme Bodhi. You should know that such a mind is the appearance of Dharani. You should practice according to this..."
After hearing the maid named Xia Zhu come forward to report, Yao shi pondered for a while, and called the maid Jinglian, "Dress up for me, and go visit the eldest lady."
Although she decided not to get involved in matters related to Su Miao, but this time Su Miao was ill, and it was unreasonable not to visit her; Su Shen was not at home, and she could not escape responsibility for anything that happened to Su Miao.
Still have to check it out.So he called Jingxin to ask for a doctor.Anyway, prescribe a prescription to stop the wind and cold.
Xia Zhu was moved to tears when she heard it, and kowtowed in gratitude, "Thank you Ma'am!"
Yao shi was being combed by another maid, Jingchen, who was facing the mirror with a peony bun, and smiled slightly, thinking that this maid was a loyal protector, and she was a good quality.
Followed by Jinglian and Jingxin, Yao also ordered the two maids to hold a few boxes of tonics, not wanting to disturb the others, and the group of five went to the backyard in a low-key manner.
Before Su Miao waited for Yao Shi, after drinking the brown sugar water, she leaned on the pillow again and fell asleep again.
In a daze, she felt as if she had come to a fairyland-like place filled with white smoke.She looked at herself. It was the soft white brocade cloak she wore during the Lantern Festival. Strangely, under the cloak was not the half-arm and skirt she wore that day, but a white Taoist robe with a waist tied around the waist. Wearing a red embroidered belt on a white background, the cuffs, skirt and piping of the Taoist robe are all decorated with complicated and difficult scripture-like patterns with scarlet silk thread. gorgeous and weird.
Thinking of something, Su Miao raised her wrist to look, but she didn't find what she expected.
Did you think too much?Su Miao frowned in thought, her snow-white skin, her black and slender eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her jet-black eyes were like pearls and jade, exuding a strange light.
Is that really just something to suppress evil?Su Miao couldn't help shaking her head.She didn't know if it was a coincidence or what, it was the first time she encountered such a weird situation, and she inevitably panicked.
She raised her eyes and looked around, the surroundings were like the vast snow in that winter, pure white, like a world carved from pure and flawless white jade, and she, everything, was a part of this world.
She tentatively took two steps forward, but the ground that was smoky and hard to see was solid, giving people a sense of solidity.
It's useless to stay anyway.Su Miao boldly wanted to see what changes ahead.
What's more, she sensitively felt that the thick mist around her seemed to echo with her body, exuding a very close aura—as if those auras came from her body!
She laughed.What a strange idea!Could it be that she came to her own body in a dream? !
Huh, in a dream?
Su Miao suddenly understood why she always felt something was wrong!She obviously contracted the cold and was sleeping drowsily, so she came here for no apparent reason!Could it be that this is really a dream?
She walked forward with great interest.She really wants to know what will happen in her dream!
When Yao shi entered the room, what he saw was Su Miao's sleeping face.
