"What is it?" Yue Qing looked at the exquisitely packaged box and felt moved in his heart: "Did you make it by yourself?"
"You can find out in the past." Cui Ying said, "It will be kept secret for now."
Yue Qing and Cui Ying stood at the door of Yue Qing's house, but there was unusual movement inside, and an inexplicable fragrance wafted out. Yue Qing said strangely: "This is not the time to eat."
He stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and there was a chaotic sound inside. Then he heard footsteps approaching. When he opened the door, Yue Bai had a strange expression on his face: "Why did you come here at this time and didn't even make a call?"
"When I go back to my home, I have to call in advance?" Yue Qing was a little confused: "Dad, what are you doing?"
"Come in, why do you keep Cui Ying standing outside the door?" Yue Bai bypassed the topic lightly and opened the door: "Cui Ying, come in."
Cui Ying responded, but caught a happy expression on Yue Bai's face. A trace of suspicion flashed in her heart, but Jie Yu immediately walked out with a smile on her face: "You are here."
Seeing that his parents looked good, Yue Qing was also in a good mood: "Cui Ying has a gift for you."
Cui Ying immediately put the box in Jie Yu's hand: "It's cross stitch, and the embroidery is Jie Yu flower. Although it's Jie Yu flower, it's not only for my aunt, but also for my uncle. Don't think I'm partial, uncle."
oh."
Yue Bai laughed loudly: "I didn't think so, Jie Yuhua, I really haven't seen it before."
Cui Ying smiled and said: "Although it is called Jieyuhua, it actually refers to Thousand-leaf Lotus. It is said that Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty and Yang Guifei admired Thousand-leaf Lotus in Taiye Pond. He pointed at Concubine Yang and said to the attendants, why is it so called Jieyuhua?
Comparing Yang Guifei to Thousand-leaf Lotus, this is also the origin of the Yu-Jiehua. Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty said that Yang Guifei is a flower that can understand the sentiments in words, and the analogy is Thousand-leaf Lotus."
Jieyu was slightly stunned: "So, what you embroidered is Thousand-leaf Lotus?"
"Yes, actually I thought of my aunt's name and immediately connected it with this allusion." Cui Ying said: "I always feel that my aunt in my uncle's eyes is as unique as Concubine Yang in the eyes of Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty."
Yue Bai kept praising her: "Oh my god, my god, she deserves to be a novelist. Yes, that's the feeling. She is unique in my eyes."
Jieyu blushed so much that he couldn't hold his head up: "What are you doing? Say this in front of them, don't you want to show off your face?"
Thinking of Tang Sancheng's evaluation of his father, Yue Qing couldn't help but smile: "No wonder Boss Tang said that."
"Then what did the old boy say about me?" Yue Bai immediately had a bad feeling. Only Tang Sancheng knew about his scandal: "Don't listen to his nonsense."
"Dad, your reaction is so strong, it seems to be true." Yue Qing said lightly: "You will only have such an obvious reaction when the central issue is poked at."
Yue Bai was speechless and could only slap his hand on his thigh in annoyance: "That old boy is so annoying."
Jie Yu smiled at Yue Bai's rogue behavior and said helplessly: "Okay, don't embarrass yourself in front of the juniors. I'm going to cook first. You can hang this cross stitch in our room."
Cui Ying stood up immediately: "Aunt, let me help you."
Cui Ying looked at Jie Yu's peaceful profile, suddenly thought of Fu Yu, and couldn't help but said: "Auntie, I used to think that you and Fu Yu were both gentle people, but now I feel that the things in gentleness are completely different.
."
Jie Yu stopped washing the vegetables and sighed: "I knew you were a keen child, but I really want to continue listening. What's the difference between Fu Yu and me?"
"Although they all seem to be gentle people, Sister Fu Yu's feeling is that she has experienced the calmness after the wind and rain, the ups and downs, and is now in a state of peace after the downturn, but Auntie..." Cui Ying felt agitated in her heart.
Now, should I say it or not?
Jieyu lowered his head and smiled: "I already regard you as my own family, what else can't I say?"
"Auntie is also very peaceful, but there is a bit of sadness in the tranquility." Cui Ying said: "Auntie's sadness is faint, even Yue Qing didn't notice it."
"Bang", the bowl in Jieyu's hand hit the cupboard, and she looked a little panicked. Cui Ying looked at such Jieyu and quickly apologized: "Auntie, I'm talking nonsense, you must not mind."
"You are not a kid who talks nonsense." Jie Yu said: "Cui Ying, do you believe in these four words of destiny?"
"If it had been before, I would not have believed it." Cui Ying said, "However, because of the strange rule of the family's thirty-year-old age, I went to that tomb. Because of a mistake, I met Yue Qing. We didn't know each other without fighting.
The fate that Yue Qing has developed to where he is today is really incredible, this must be destiny."
Jie Yu suddenly wiped his hands and walked into the room without looking back. Cui Ying was confused and didn't know what was wrong with her words, but Jie Yu walked in with a slender box in his hand: "
This is the marriage lottery I asked for for Yue Qing when he was sixteen."
Cui Ying took it, unfolded it and looked at it, and was stunned: "It says that Yue Qing's future marriage will be at the age of seven!"
"It's a coincidence, right?" Jie Yu said, "You and Yue Qing are a match made in heaven at the age of seven. Yue Bai and I both feel very happy because we accepted this marriage lottery."
"No wonder you completely understand that most people think it is unacceptable for a woman to be older than her husband for seven years." Cui Ying looked at the yellowed marriage sign in front of her and felt grateful: "So it's because of it."
"Some people say that you can't go against heaven." Jie Yu said: "Besides, I feel happy to see you two getting along so well. With you here, this family will be more complete, Cui Ying..."
Jie Yu grabbed Cui Ying's hand: "No matter what happens in this family, you will definitely stay with Yue Qing, right?"
Seeing the tears in Jie Yu's eyes, Cui Ying's heart sank a little bit: "Auntie, is something going to happen at home recently?"
"I mean what if." Jie Yu took Cui Ying's hand: "If something like that happens, you must protect this family. You are the person God brought to our family."
"Aunt..." Cui Ying's premonition became increasingly bad: "Aunt, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, don't be nervous. After all, people are prone to good and bad fortunes. You don't know what will happen today, so I'll take precautions for you in advance." Jie Yu laughed: "Let's not just chat, let's cook quickly. It will be dinner soon."
."
Cui Ying smiled and nodded, but her heart was worried. After finishing the meal, she was about to chat with Jieyu again, but Jieyu urged: "You guys should go back to the antique shop quickly."
Yue Qing also felt strange: "Mom, it's rare for us to come back, why do you keep urging us to leave?"
"Your mother isn't feeling well." Yue Bai finally said, "Let her have a good rest."
The two had no choice but to leave. After the two left, Jie Yu walked into the bedroom and looked at the cross-stitch that had been hung on the wall. The thousand-leaf lotus on it seemed to be swaying in the wind. Jie Yu was stunned, but his eyes were filled with tears.
With tears welling up, Yue Bai walked in and sighed: "The two children have not yet achieved enlightenment."
Jieyu could no longer control his emotions: "But it's too late."
Yue Qing stood downstairs, looking up at the balcony of his home: "They are both a little strange today."
"I think so too," Cui Ying said, "What Auntie said is a bit strange. Yue Qing, I think we should stay."
"Looking at my parents, they don't want us to stay at all." Yue Qing looked up at the building opposite and had an idea: "Many houses opposite are empty, how about we try our luck?"
Seeing Cui Ying looking at him with a strange look, Yue Qing explained: "Don't worry, it's not a break-in. There is a property rights dispute in this building, so many people have not moved in, and many of them are rough houses. When we go in, no one will look for us."
trouble."
Cui Ying breathed a sigh of relief. She and Yue Qing found an empty house directly opposite Yue Qing's house. They sat at the window and stared at the opposite side. Seeing Yue Qing's immersed look, Cui Ying couldn't help but smile.
"Do we look like spies now?"
"It's because they are so weird." Yue Qing said, "Did you smell the aroma when you entered?"
"Yes, the aroma is very light, but impressive, but it disappeared after entering." Cui Ying said: "It's really strange. Are you sure it's yours?"
"Thinking about it carefully, I seem to have smelled it once before." Yue Qing suddenly held Cui Ying's hand nervously: "Because I have cognitive impairment, I was not gregarious when I was young, and I never had friends. My mother always encouraged me to step out.
When you go out, you must take the initiative to make friends with others. Unfortunately, you suffered a severe blow on your first try and were called a fool."
Cui Ying felt a faint pain in her heart, and Yue Qing smiled bitterly and said: "I remember that day I ran home crying and saw a note with the word "Mom" on my mother. I felt very painful. I sat on the ground and cried loudly.
All my grievances came out that day. At that time, my mother came over and hugged me. I smelled the fragrance and suddenly felt at ease. That day I knew that I could face everything in the future. Although she didn't say a word, but...
…”
Yue Qing's eyes were red, and Cui Ying wiped the tears from his eyes: "Is that the first time you smell that fragrance?"
"Yes, today is the second time." Yue Qing said: "Dad was a little panicked today too, which is not like him."
"Could it be...the fragrance of Thousand-leaf Lotus?" Cui Ying said: "There is a subtle connection between my aunt's name and Thousand-leaf Lotus. No, no, my imagination is too rich. If there is a connection, there can be
What’s the connection, right?”
Yue Qing's eyes were looking straight at the building opposite. After the sky darkened, except for the light in the living room, the rest of the rooms were dark. But now, the light in his room was on.
"What's wrong, Yue Qing?" Cui Ying asked.
"They entered my room." Yue Qing lowered his head and looked at the time: "If you go out right away, you might just be looking for something. Let's wait and see."
