Chapter 609 Silently Light a Candle for Big Brother
The first snow that was brewing in winter fell even harder on the second day. The snow fell heavily and the plum blossoms on the branches bloomed brightly. Xie Yixiao agreed to the previous agreement and made an appointment with Ming to cut the plum blossoms.
There is also a small plum grove near Duke Rong's Mansion, with more than a dozen plum blossoms planted there. The place is close to Fanghua Garden where Rong Ting and Liao Zhuyin used to live, and they passed by the door when they went there.
Mingshi and Liao Zhuyin really couldn't get along, and couldn't help complaining to Xie Yixiao about the past:
"The plum grove over there is so good. In the past, she wouldn't let the plum blossoms be cut. She said that the plum blossoms are noble and pure, and they won't mix with the other flowers. Also, they bloom in winter, and they bloom with difficulty. They should be enjoyed by the world. Why bother?
Cut it off and enjoy it alone, causing it to wither and die."
"She used to like to hold plum blossom appreciation feasts in the plum forest, and she would always have people guard there in winter to prevent us from cutting the plum blossoms." Ming became angry when she said this.
"You also know that the people around her are all like her and think that they are noble people. If you insist on cutting off, you will be a common person. You don't understand their character."
"I just don't understand. This plum blossom was transplanted from me when I was a child. I took care of it a lot during those years. When she comes, she becomes hers. I can't even cut a few plum blossoms."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Then just drive her away. Why let her go?"
Ming said: "She was pregnant with Rong Qing at that time. How could I argue with her? Besides, there are a lot of things at home. My father, mother, and your eldest brother are all extremely busy. I don't want to bother them with these little things."
."
Ming felt sorry for her parents and husband. Seeing that they were already very busy and tired on weekdays, she didn't want to worry them anymore about pruning plum blossoms.
Later, the anger passed, and he didn't bother to argue with Liao Zhuyin, so he stopped going to Meilin. Fortunately, after Liao Zhuyin took over Meilin, he didn't have much thought about the other places, and Ming thought it was just to use Meilin to get rid of her.
"As a human being, you have to cherish your blessings. How good her life was in the past. Her third brother treated her wholeheartedly and she also had a son and a daughter. My mother and I never gave her any trouble, but she just didn't take her third brother seriously.
, Yi Xin, just remember the previous one."
Liao Zhuyin has been thinking about her ex-fiancé Si Yunlang.
She doesn't care about Rong Ting at all, and naturally she doesn't care about Rong Ting's parents and family. She only wants to live happily for herself and doesn't care about the tolerance and pain of others.
"Speaking of which, this person has been gone for more than ten years, and her children are all grown up, so why are they still missing her?"
Even if it was sincere in the past, the dead person is no longer here, and the living person wants to continue. If the love was really so deep, why didn't you go with her in the first place? Why did you get married and have children?
It is simply harming others, yourself and your children.
Because of Ming Jing's incident, Xie Yixiao was very disgusted with the Si family of Jingyang Hou Mansion.
It is said that Si Yunlang is a brother and sister of the same mother as the concubine Shu in the palace and the fourth lady Lu, and he is the direct descendant. The current Jingyang Hou Shizi is the descendant of Jingyang Hou, Mrs. Jingyang Hou, after Si Yunlang died.
The concubine was only a few years older than Rong Ci.
"What kind of person was that former prince?"
"Well, what kind of person could he be? He must be exactly what Mr. Liao likes. He can recite a few acid poems and calls himself a romantic and talented person. I heard that they are a talented person and a talented girl. They are a perfect match."
"Speaking of it, I am a rough person. I only think about how to live a good life, and I don't understand these sour poems. If your elder brother reads a few words in front of me, I'm afraid I will kick him out."
Xie Yixiao: "..." silently lit a candle for his eldest brother.
"Xiaojiu shouldn't like this, right?" Ming asked curiously.
Xie Yixiao shook his head vigorously: "No, he usually just sits and reads or drinks tea when he has free time, or plays the piano and chess. He has no interest in reciting poems or writing poems."
While they were talking, they arrived at the plum forest. There was already a layer of snow on the ground, and the plum trees were in full bloom. Some snowflakes fell on them, making the plum blossoms look red and beautiful, as if they were alone in the world.
The fragrance floats in the forest, carrying the coldness of wind and snow.
The two of them each went to find the plum branches they wanted to cut, and when they were done, they put them in the basket carried by the maid behind them. Ming said, "Would you like to cut more, I will send some to Mulan Garden, but my mother is not big either."
Love this.”
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Send it off. It's hard to go out when it snows. It just adds some color. We just have nothing to do, so we should go and sit there."
"That's fine."
The two cut plum blossoms, and each asked someone to carry a basket back to the yard. Then they gathered a basket together and took it to Mulan Garden.
It's getting cold, and Mrs. Rong Guogong doesn't go out anymore. After more than a year of conditioning, her legs have indeed improved a lot, but it's best not to catch the cold. In early spring, grandma came to talk to her and accompany her to relieve her boredom.
.
The room was quiet and peaceful. Mrs. Rong Guogong was sitting in a rocking chair. There was a brazier next to her with a charcoal fire burning inside.
When she heard the noise, she opened her eyes and saw the two of them walking through the snowy yard, lifting the wind-proof curtain and entering the house. She was a little surprised: "It's snowing heavily today, why are you here?"
"Mother." The two of them stepped forward and Ming said, "We have an appointment today to cut plum blossoms and come back to arrange flowers. I will send you some."
"Oh? I went to cut plum blossoms. It's rare for you to have such leisure." Mrs. Rong Guogong smiled and asked them to sit down and warm themselves by the fire.
There was an earth dragon burning in the house, but Mrs. Rong Guogong loved to warm herself up by the fire. She felt that the earth dragon burning did not feel like winter, so she asked people not to burn it so hot. It happened that she could also warm herself up by the fire.
In early spring, grandma asked the maid to bring hot tea, and then went to get two vases for flower arrangement: "It just so happens that the room is a little deserted, and with these plum blossoms, it seems like everyone in the room is in spring."
Mingshi liked this: "I'll arrange the flowers."
Xie Yixiao thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll accompany my mother in the next round."
"Okay, let's play the next game." Mrs. Rong Guogong was bored, so after hearing this, she asked someone to bring the chessboard over.
The two of them sat around the fire pot, each sitting on a chair, with a desk in the middle and a chessboard on top. They each held a chess basket and played chess. Ming sat on a chair opposite, with a chessboard beside him.
She sat on the desk, holding scissors in her hand, and cut the plum blossoms in the flower basket and inserted them into the vase.
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law are in perfect harmony, really like mother and daughter.
In the early spring, Grandma was sitting aside, feeling relieved just looking at it. There was nothing more important for a family than harmony. Thinking of this, she just wished she could drive Rongting and Liao family further away, and it would be best not to come back for the rest of her life.
.
Maybe people can't bear to talk about it. The flowers in Ming's flower basket haven't been cut yet, but someone came to report that Rong Ting was here.
