Chapter 316: The Trap of the Cage

In the early morning, the sky was bright, and a drop of dew was still on the red flowers and green leaves.

Wu Qiuyu got up from the soft bed and finished washing under the service of Xiaoxiang, a close-fitting maid. It's just that when she was combing her hair, she was slightly stunned in front of the bronze mirror.

Ever since she learned that her mother was going to marry her, she felt that she had grown up a lot.

Her mind is no longer interested in anything interesting and new, and she is no longer enthusiastic about flying kites and swinging, but quietly thinking about the future.

What does the future look like?

She felt a moment of confusion, and sometimes a sense of horror, but after these emotions, she would think about it again and be undeservedly optimistic about the future.

About this, she feels annoyed, but she is such a person, her character is still innocent and casual, and she always likes to think in a good direction about the future.

In her vision, she did not marry the squire's son, but married the man, the man who had collided with him by chance, the man who helped her fetch a kite, the man who waved at her in a big red flower, and then lived a good and happy life.

It's just that the reality is that she still has no progress with the man, but the relationship with the squire's son seems to be getting closer and closer, and the mother is always going out these days.

The sun is rising, and today is another good day.

She came to the small pavilion in the backyard, sat on the stone pier, embroidered with a cluster of bamboo patterns, her pretty face looked quiet, and her big eyes like autumn water sometimes looked at the roof.

When the sun covered the gray roof with a layer of broken gold, a small monkey with blond hair appeared in the middle of the roof. The little monkey was very powerful, and often walked upside down on that roof, and once saw it with a ball on its head.

When she was seven or eight years old, she once followed her father to the City God Temple and saw someone playing monkeys. It's just that compared to those monkeys, she feels that this little golden monkey is more spiritual.

Chirping!

After a while, the monkey suddenly barked and ran towards the left side of the roof. She knew that it was the man who was going out, or more precisely, that the man's sister was going out.

Wu Qiuyu was envious, but also had a faint sorrow in his heart. Compared to them, it was like living in a cage where she could only spend every day.

She had been to the temple a few times before under the guise of delivering food or pastries, but her father was not always there, and her father later made it clear to her that he did not need her to send them.

Without a sufficient excuse, her mother would not allow her to go out casually, so she had not been to the Hanlin Academy for a long time.

She didn't resent anything, but she felt the constraints of these, which made her feel a little depressed.

It's just that she is really a soft person, and she will never disobey her father's will. These days, she has wanted to have a showdown with her mother more than once, she doesn't want to marry the son of the waiter, she already has a sweetheart.

It's just that every time she sees her mother, she doesn't have the slightest courage to say it, and she is even worried about letting her mother know, so as to make fun of her extremely shameless behavior.

That's why she now has a little more troubles and a secret that can't be said.

"Miss, Madame told you to come over for breakfast!" Her personal girl, Xiaoxiang, came over and interrupted her thoughts.

Her breakfast is simple, but there are some rules, and she will abide by them.

After greeting her, she would sit aside and eat silently, not only not only without saying a word, but also paying attention to the action of eating. She is a chronic child, but she can also eat very elegantly, so that people can't find the slightest fault.

She didn't like greasy, she just looked at the chicken soup on the table, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth. Just a few days ago, she saw the siblings eating chicken thighs on the rooftop.

Just looking at her mother's suspicious gaze, she was busy picking up rice to cover up, obviously not doing anything bad, but her heart was pounding with nervousness. Fortunately, her mother took one look at her and talked to her father about it.

Mother: "I heard that the household department can't send a salary, and the emperor plans to dismiss Fang Shangshu, is there such a thing?" ”

Daddy: "Don't listen to rumors! ”

Mother: "It's not a rumor, right?" If you can't say anything now, won't the yamen you are responsible for be a mess? ”

Daddy: "The Ministry of Rites may be a little troublesome, but it's okay over there in the Hanlin Academy!" ”

Mother: "Why is that?" ”

Daddy: "Now that the Hanlin Academy has thousands of taels of silver, how can you say it's messy?" ”

Mother (surprised): "Where did you get so much money?" ”

Daddy: "I mentioned to you before, the student taught by Xia Gangyang, he got a copy of "Talking about the Past and the Present", and now one issue can sell more than 10,000 copies, and I am afraid that the Hanlin Academy will be rich in the future!" ”

Hearing this, she felt that he was really powerful, and at the same time planned to buy a copy of "Talking about the Past and the Present"

Mother: "It's that Wen Kui Lin Haoran, right?" Isn't he also your protégé? Since this person is so powerful, then you can let him come to our house more often! ”

Daddy: "Say it again! ”

But she could hear that her father had a perfunctory attitude. Based on her understanding of her father, this "say more" is actually equivalent to "don't say it again", and her father will not invite Lin Haoran to the house.

But she didn't understand that among her father's many protégés, Lin Haoran was the most powerful and promising, why didn't her father treat him?

After eating, she and her mother sent her father to the front yard, and watched her father go out, her mother said that she would go back to the room to recite the scriptures, and she planned to go to the piano room to play the piano for a while.

She already knows everything about her home, rockeries, pavilions, gardens, pools, swings, etc., the house at home is undoubtedly the best, but she feels more and more bored.

If there were no troubles about marriage, she might be able to live here happily, but the sudden marriage disturbed her mind, and she felt that the home was like a cage, and all the beauty lost its color.

At noon, her mother went out again, which made her heart "chuckle" again, knowing that she was afraid that it would not be far from the door.

She embroidered in the pavilion in the backyard, and it always ended up that she made mistakes and punctured her fingers.

She put her finger in her mouth and sucked it gently, and suddenly, slightly stunned. She saw the little girl appear on the roof, and the little figure still looked a little lonely.

The little girl sat only for a moment, but faintly heard her shouting, "Ali, let's go to the palace", and then went down from the roof, and the monkey went down as well.

"Xiaoxiang, tell me to go down, I want to go out!" Wu Qiuyu's heart was horizontal, and he immediately ordered. She didn't think much about it, there was only one thought in her mind, she was going to deliberately create a chance encounter with the tiger girl.
