Chapter 19
Chapter 19
I don't know how many times the sound of the horse's hooves shattered the tranquility of the night. Lu Fei, who was lying on her side on the couch, looked at Chang Xin who was still asleep, and sighed for a moment.
She suddenly felt a little envious of Chang Xin who was sleeping soundly, and she didn't know the bitterness of leaving or hating.
I recalled several times in my mind that after the owner turned on the horse skillfully, he disappeared from his sight without looking back. Lu Fei tucked her long-hearted quilt and feet, slowly got up, put on her coat, and leaned against the window.
Although she knew that there would be a cold wind if the window was opened, and the cold wind would probably make the chief ill, but she didn't want to care about it.
If the owner of the museum is gone, she will not find the meaning of taking care of Changxin.
Lu Fei's sight was cast on the empty intersection, a little blurred.
Her museum owner disappeared at this intersection for some unspoken reasons.
Lu Fei suddenly felt a little regretful, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, if she didn't pretend to be drunk, if she didn't respond to the owner, would the owner give up the long journey?
Lu Fei was engrossed in her thoughts, but heard a soft voice.
"Sister Fei'er, what are you looking at?"
Lu Fei looked back and saw Chang Xin walking towards her with bare feet.
"Why did Xin'er land on the ground with bare feet?" Lu Fei saw that Chang Xin was barefoot, without any hesitation, she quickly turned around and carried Chang Xin back to the couch, and helped her put on the embroidered shoes that were placed beside the couch.
Chang Xin sat on the couch, looked down at Lu Fei's hands busy on her feet, then gently shook her legs hanging on the edge of the couch, "Did mother leave?"
Lu Fei helped Chang Xin put on her shoes, and was about to get up, but Chang Xin's words made her freeze in place, not moving for a while.
Seeing Lu Fei squatting on the spot without making a sound, Chang Xin turned her head and looked around, and when she saw the enamel pot on the table, she knew that her mother had left.
Knowing that mother had left, Chang Xin lowered her head and asked Lu Fei, "Sister Fei'er, do you know when mother will come back?"
"Huh?" Lu Fei covered the tears she was about to shed, and responded in a low voice, "I know..."
Seeing that Lu Fei answered 'I know', Chang Xin smiled and showed two dimples, "When was that?"
when?
Lu Fei thought for a while, then replied softly, "It's time to come back."
When is it time to come back?Although I don't know when Sister Fei'er said "it's time to come back", it doesn't prevent Changxin from jumping for joy at Lu Fei's words.Because she remembered that her mother said that she would come back after eating the can of candied lotus seeds.
Thinking that the enamel jar was still full of candied lotus seeds, Chang Xin rubbed her belly, "Mother, it will be fine as long as you come back!"
Unable to guess the child's mind, seeing that the ethereal news can be so cheerful when the long heart stops, Lu Fei suddenly realizes that she is confused. In the middle of the night, why should she put on shoes for the long heart, as long as she sleeps on the couch That's right.
Thinking that it was time to go to bed now, Lu Fei swiftly took off the shoes she had just put on for Chang Xin, and placed her on the couch, "Then Xin'er will sleep well! When you wake up, the curator I'm back!"
But before Lu Fei finished speaking, she was stunned, because she saw Chang Xin's eyes that had just been closed opened again.
"Sister Fei'er is lying!" Chang Xin lay on the couch, looking seriously into Lu Fei's eyes, "Mother said, she will come back when Chang Xin finishes eating the candied lotus seeds she prepared! Didn't start eating! Why did mother come back after Changxin woke up?"
After finishing speaking, Chang Xin pointed to the enamel pot on the table again, "Sister Fei'er, when you said 'it's time to come back', was it when the pot of candied lotus seeds was finished?"
Lu Fei followed Chang Xin's raised hand, and moved her gaze to the enamel pot on the table.
The rice paper pressed under the ceramic jar touched the enamel jar first, which caught Lu Fei's gaze.
Lu Fei didn't dare to hesitate, she went straight to the desk, picked up the enamel jar, and carefully took out the rice paper from under the jar.
The black and white words on the rice paper made Lu Fei feel nervous, because she saw that the beginning of it was, 'the date of departure and return is difficult to determine'.
Rubbing the edge of the letter, Lu Fei thought to herself, since the owner of the museum wrote that the date of return is uncertain, the one-month period that the owner and Xin'er talked about is probably just a plan to delay the army.
Although Xin'er cried a lot when the owner left today, but according to the child's character, after one month, she might not even remember who the owner is.
Thinking that Xin'er may not remember the owner of the museum in January, Lu Fei took the letter in one hand and the enamel jar in the other, walked to Chang Xin's couch with small steps, and sat down gently.
When he was seated, he looked back.
Lu Fei was thinking, looking back, she might be able to see the sleeping face of a child, by the way, to gather herself together, but she didn't want to, she only saw a ball of quilt when she turned her head.
This little girl likes to sleep with her head covered?
Thinking of the owner of the museum entrusting herself to take good care of Chang Xin before leaving, Lu Fei reached out to pull off the quilt that Chang Xin covered her face.
Unexpectedly, Changxin deliberately exerted force under the quilt to stabilize the quilt.
"Xin'er! Come out!" Lu Fei frowned, hiding under the quilt for a long time, but it would be boring.
"Sister Fei'er, when do you think mother will come back?"
The muffled sound coming from the quilt made Lu Fei even more impatient, "Didn't Xin'er ask you just now?"
"Have you asked?" The voice in the quilt suddenly became clearer, "Then what did Sister Fei'er reply?"
What did you just return?Lu Fei's heart trembled, and she realized in a trance that there was a voice in her heart that frightened her all the time, that the owner of the museum is gone, and there is no return date.
No, how could the owner never return?I must have thought too much.
Lu Fei tightly held Xin's hand, turned her head and smiled at Chang Xin, "In one month..."
"Oh!" Listening to Lu Fei's one-month period, Chang Xin immediately got up from the quilt, exposed her small head, and bent her eyes at Lu Fei, "That's good! Chang Xin was worried just now. I was tricked by my mother!"
Listening to Changxin saying that she was afraid of being deceived by the owner of the museum, Lu Fei sighed softly, put the enamel jar on the head of the bed, and continued to read the letter.
Silently reading the letter in her hand, vaguely remembering that she just finished reading the first line from the right, Lu Fei turned to the inside of the couch, letting her eyes move to the second line naturally.
The characters on the second line are a little thinner than those on the first line. It can be seen that the curator did not think much when writing.
Lu Fei's gaze moved up and down the second line a few times, and after she had figured out what the owner meant, she involuntarily covered her mouth, trying hard to hold back the tears.
What is "long extra meal in spring and summer, don't forget clothes in autumn and winter", what is "do not disturb in the next life", what is "use the female committee secretary, use the hall's code of justice"...
She is not rare to be the owner of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, the mother of an orphan.
Even if the owner of the museum left a long-term heart, it is her own daughter!
While thinking about chasing the owner of the pavilion, Lu Fei thought that she had gone to the museum and there was no one there. She couldn't help but feel a little bit of resentment in her heart.
"Sister Fei'er?"
Lu Fei was engrossed in her thoughts, but she didn't realize that there was a villain behind her.
"Pray for Yu Fu to follow the example of other women, and protect my daughter's heart for a hundred years. I don't want to be admired by the world, but I hope that she can do whatever she wants in this life and not be restrained by world affairs. There is still money left on the side of the cabinet... "
Chang Xin was reading vigorously by the candlelight, but found that the letter had been covered by Lu Fei to prevent her from seeing it, and then reached out to snatch it, "Hey! Sister Fei'er, hand, hand, take it away!"
"Long heart literate?" Lu Fei was avoiding Chang Xin's hand from left to right, while preventing her from snatching the letter, while feeling suspicious. At my age, I really shouldn't know each other.
"I know! I know!" Chang Xin didn't realize that Lu Fei had become suspicious of her, and only focused on chasing the letter in Lu Fei's hand, "Sister Fei'er, give it to Chang Xin, Chang Xin wants to read your mother's handwriting!"
"How does Xin'er know that the word belongs to the owner?" Lu Fei smiled and moved her hand to the front, shaking the crumpled letter, "Sister Fei'er is very curious!"
"What's so strange about that!" Taking advantage of Lu Fei's inattention, Chang Xin secretly scratched Lu Fei's armpit, forcing the arm on the other side of the letter to shrink back suddenly, "Mother's word Chang Xin I know it myself."
After speaking, she smiled and snatched the letter from Lu Fei's hand.
Waiting for the letter to fall into his hands, Chang Xin imitated Lu Fei's appearance, sat cross-legged on the couch, and read it word by word.
Lu Fei didn't expect that Chang Xin would snatch the letter by scratching it, so she couldn't stop it in the future. She thought that Chang Xin would get the letter, but she read the rest of the words aloud, but was read by Chang Xin in front of her. The action was startled.In her life, it was the first time she saw someone reading a letter cross-legged.
"Sister Fei'er's original name was Yu Fu?"
Before Lu Fei finished judging Chang Xin's actions, she heard Chang Xin's question.
Was her original name Yu Fu?
Listening to the word 'Yu Fu' again, Green Fei seems like a lifetime away.
The owner of the museum wrote these two characters on the paper. To her, it was just a hint, and she could leave if she wanted to.
But as soon as Chang Xin read those two words, Lu Fei remembered what an old man once said, that the names of the world are all command spells, which govern life and death, and harm and blessing.
What Yu Fu said was that many years ago, his father deliberately found someone to divination for him.The hexagram image is the image of poor fortune, so it was named so to make up for the loss of the sky.
Lu Fei recited the word 'Yu Fu', and then murmured, "Yes."
As soon as the word "yes" was uttered, Lu Fei noticed that Chang Xin's eyes were red.
"Xin'er, what's the matter with you?" Lu Fei has a bit of a temperament that can't stand the long-term heart. To put it lightly, she can do whatever she wants, and when it is windy and rainy, when it is serious, she is moody. As the old saying goes, five or six years old The baby's face, just like the sky in June and July, changes as it changes.
"Did mother sell Changxin to Sister Yu Fu?" Changxin's red eyes made Lu Fei purse her lips, and she was speechless for a while.
"Forget it!" Lu Fei took the letter from Chang Xin's hand, squeezed it into a ball, and threw it out from the couch, then hugged Chang Xin and fell into the quilt, closed her eyes, not wanting to say more.
Seeing that the letter was lost, Changxin couldn't stop crying again.
The trouble made Lu Fei's heart more and more disturbed.
But the source of the chaos is not in her long-term intentions, but in herself.
Deep in her memory, there was another letter buried.
The letter was the same as the owner's letter, small script, densely packed on a piece of paper.
However, the owner of that letter is no match for her.
