by☆、River God 1
Woo…..
The whistle blew loudly and long, and the white smoke drew a long line in the air. Sunlight leaked from the gaps in the ceiling, drawing an irregular rhombus on the stone floor of the platform.
Yao Ji wore shiny sheepskin boots, with khaki trousers tucked into the boots, and a mutton-leg-sleeved shirt on her upper body.She was carrying her suitcase in her hand. When she got off the bus, she felt that eyes from all directions on the platform were looking towards her.
There was a porter carrying luggage standing beside the car door. When he caught her gaze, he hurriedly turned his eyes aside.She wanted to see the fork but didn’t dare to look at it, which made her laugh and sigh a little.
Although Luwu is a small town, it connects the north and the south and has developed commerce, so it is not a closed place.It is now the seventh year of the Republic of China, but her appearance still attracts attention, far less than when she returned to China and disembarked in Shanghai. People in Shanghai mostly saw people wearing western clothes and didn’t think anything of it.
Fortunately, she didn’t care about other people’s eyes. She left the train station and was about to call a rickshaw when a man stood on the roadside from a distance and waved to her: “Miss! Miss!”
“Uncle Zhong?”
The man was a swarthy man, who seemed a little afraid to recognize her. He was stunned for a moment and then trotted over: “Miss, the master taught me to come and pick you up. Thank you for the hard work on the road.”
As he spoke, he snatched the suitcase from Yao Ji’s hand and led her to the Chevrolet across the road.This car, like Yao Ji, attracted attention everywhere. Uncle Zhong scratched his head in embarrassment: “The master and his wife are back, does the eldest lady recognize the younger one? The younger one didn’t recognize you just now,”
Yao Ji sat in the back seat and smiled lightly when she heard this: “You are more energetic. Are you okay in the capital?”
“Okay, okay, the master and his wife are also very good, and the young master is also good…”
The two of them talked incessantly, but Yao Ji had one thing in mind.She returned to China this time because her family sent her a telegram saying that her grandmother was ill.
The old man suffers from illnesses as he gets older. He is studying abroad and cannot return to China every time.But this time she was said to be seriously ill. Yao Ji hurried back just now and heard Uncle Zhong say that both Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi were back, and she couldn’t help but feel worried.
The Qi family is a wealthy family, their ancestral home is in Luwucheng, but most of the family members live in the capital.However, Yao Ji was raised by her grandmother when she was young. She grew up in her ancestral home and has a lot of affection for this small town.
As the car drove by, the scenery along the way was still the same as that of the old days, but there were also many differences.
When we arrived at Qizhai, the car drove straight into the yard.The original bluestone slabs have been replaced by cement. Granny Zhang from the old lady’s yard was guarding the door. As soon as she saw Yao Ji getting out of the car, she hurriedly came up to her, her wrinkled face smiling like an anus.
“Grandma, are you okay?” Yao Ji didn’t bother to say hello to her.
“Okay, okay,” Granny Zhang handed her suitcase to the little maid behind her, “The eldest lady will go with the slave to change clothes. There will be a banquet with the Lu family in the evening.”
“Don’t be busy now. I’m going to see grandma.”
“Oh, the master and his wife are waiting for you,” Mrs. Zhang hurriedly grabbed her, “The old lady drank the medicine and is sleeping. You have just come back, why don’t you go and say hello to the master and his wife first?”
Yao Ji paused for a moment, then stopped: “That’s fine, but the clothes are just…”
“This is what you’re wearing…?”
Mrs. Zhang didn’t finish her words, but Yao Ji understood what she meant – her new style of dress would not catch the eye of Mr. Qi.
Sighing, she had to say: “Okay, change.”
This change took almost half an hour.The old-style cheongsam with silver and red flowers was tied around her waist, and the maids put on a complete set of Nanzhu hair and face. Yaoji had not worn such complicated makeup for a long time, and she felt uncomfortable sitting on the stool. She thought that she would be restricted by others in every aspect during her stay in the ancestral home, and she couldn’t help but become more depressed.
This is the reason why she doesn’t want to return to China, or in other words, she just wants to see her grandmother and is not happy to deal with her parents.
She has always been regarded as the most rebellious child in the family, and because Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi have been in the capital, they are not close to each other.Therefore, when they met to say hello, the three of them felt a little embarrassed. Mr. Qi coughed and said, “You are old too. Tonight, your uncle Lu’s family is going to take care of my father, and you will go too.”
The Lu family and the Qi family are family friends, and they are also from the Lu Wu family.
he Our family’s ancestral home is not far from Youhe River, surrounded by mountains and rivers. From a distance, you can see a large group of buildings. The white walls and black tiles are typical Jiangnan buildings. Set in the afterglow, it seems to exude a heavy twilight atmosphere.
Yao Ji rarely comes here. The Lu family often lives in Beijing and Shanghai. Only Mr. Lu lives in the ancestral home.It was the old man he who was invited to the dinner party tonight. During the dinner, there was a lot of drinking, talking and laughing, but Yao Ji always felt uncomfortable.
It was probably because she had not lived in such an environment surrounded by maids for a long time. There were only four people present at the Eight Immortals table, and there were about ten servants serving on the side.
Everyone pays attention to the master’s instructions at all times. Perhaps because of this, Yao Ji feels that they are all looking at her.
“Nanny.” Mr. Lu called her by her nickname affectionately. Yao Ji was startled, and she quickly woke up from her daze. The old man raised the wine cup towards her, “I’d like to take this glass to you, grandpa, and I’ll spare your trouble from now on.”
“It should be me who respects you.” She quickly stood up and drank the wine in the glass respectfully without ignoring the old man’s words. Could you please?What’s the trouble?
It was difficult for her to ask, and the doubts in her heart became more and more serious.
Before going to the banquet, she went to see her grandmother. The old lady was a little confused and couldn’t speak clearly.But she is nearly ninety years old, so this is inevitable. Her family sent a telegram to call her back. Is it really because the old man is seriously ill?
Somehow, Yao Ji always feels uneasy.
After finding an excuse, she left the table early.When we got out of the house, the uncomfortable strangeness disappeared. There was a bright moon in the sky, framed in a square shape by the patio, and the faint fragrance of crabapple flowers floated in the wind. It seemed that even the depression had been washed away.
Taking a long breath, Yao Ji decided to go back to the house.Maybe she was overthinking it, she thought to herself. After all, they were her biological parents, so they wouldn’t lie to her.
Just as he was about to walk back, two maids came over from the corridor carrying food boxes.The two of them talked as they walked: “Hey, did you see the young lady who came in the evening? What a handsome person.”
“Yes,” her companion sighed, “That will be the eldest young mistress in the future. Do you think the eldest young master knows about it?”
“How do I know?” The maid seemed to curl her lips, “If you are curious, just ask the young master.”
“Oh, the old man still has to break my legs.”
As they said that, the two started laughing and joking, and the sound of frolicking faded away, leaving Yao Ji standing there, dumbfounded——
The eldest young lady?!Why didn’t she know she was getting married?
