Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter One: Daily Life
Chapter 18 The Fourth Dream Orphan
After turning off the lights in the room, the light from the window shone in. The night view on the snowflake side was even more beautiful than the city on a clear moon. Although there was no sound from the construction site on Yueqing's side, there were sounds of various vehicles passing by from time to time on the road near the community. She sat down on the windowsill and enjoyed the night view outside the window in the dim and soft light of the room. It wasn't until I was a little tired that I ran to bed and rested.
She didn't know why, but she had a premonition that tonight she would see the pregnant young girl she had dreamed about several times before. Yue Qing doesn't feel scared now when she thinks about it. She doesn't know why, but she feels some intimacy. People say that women's intuition is super accurate.
Yue Qing closed her eyes as she thought about it. There was no sign of insomnia tonight, and she felt that she would fall asleep quickly.
................................................................. .........
A woman's intuition is indeed very accurate. Yue Qing didn't know how long she had slept before she woke up from her dream again.
It was daytime again, this time in a very large building, with three floors. There were many people standing or sitting on the first floor. There was a stage in the center, and several people in costumes were babbling. Yue Qing couldn't understand what they were singing at all; there were many places similar to private rooms on the second floor, each with a uniform style of exquisite gauze curtains, most of which were half-open, and some were directly They were all put down to block the people and things inside; the third floor could not be seen clearly, only a table could be seen from a distance.
Yue Qing's consciousness appeared in a private room on the second floor. There were many people in this room. Yue Qing discovered that she had seen most of them, including the man sitting with the pregnant girl. She had seen them in the third hall. Outside the door of the trial. What's your name? Oh, by the way, Brother Feng.
Last time Yue Qing felt that her movements were restricted, but this time she didn't feel that way. She had a panoramic view of the entire room. There were many people in the room, and the most conspicuous ones were the young men and women sitting at the table. Yue Qing's eyes were first attracted to the girl, oh, by the way, you can't call her pregnant like that, even though she was very young. Yue Qing's eyes were first attracted by the luminous stones held by the woman named Fu'er. Yueqing quickly recognized it. It was the same piece she had seen several times, but the color had changed. It was obviously different from before. This time there is some bright blue, I should say cyan blue, without the lifeless feeling before.
She said she was holding it in her hand, but in fact, she did not touch the stone directly. There was a layer of decoration wrapped on the stone of unknown material, some of which looked like cloth, and some of which did not look like it. The color was very similar to that of the stone. match. The pattern is also very beautiful. It looked like some kind of pattern was embroidered on it. Yue Qingzai looked at it and saw that it looked a bit like a picture of flowers and birds. The embroidery was really exquisite. I wonder what kind of girl was so deft that she could embroider such a beautiful pattern on such a small thing.
There is also a beautiful pearl chain attached to this decoration, hanging around the lady's neck. The chain is very long, just long enough for the stone to hang down to the lady's belly. The belly was very big, so the lady’s hand holding the stone was placed on her belly. Yue Qing looked like her sister’s belly was about the same size when she was seven or eight months old.
This belly is growing really fast. Although Yue Qing doesn’t know if the time here is the same as where she lived, the baby in this belly is growing really fast. Although there were so many people accompanying her, the lady didn't seem too happy. A slight sadness hung on his face.
"Madam, it's okay for them to have a famous singer in the Jiuzhai Pavilion. He usually doesn't appear on stage easily. As soon as they heard that he would be on stage today, all the private rooms in the Jichuanting Pavilion were full in less than an hour. Only this private room is still available. The Marquis finally begged for it." The girl named Xiaoye standing next to the madam said. Yue Qing remembered her. She and the girl named Hong'er were both in the pavilion in the last dream.
"This is all thanks to my good friend. When I got the news, there was no room available. After I found out that he had also booked a private room, I went to ask him for it. It took a lot of effort. I heard that he was going to I was reluctant to receive a business friend at first, but fortunately I gave it to me in the end. Fu'er, didn't you like hearing this before? Why is this making me a little unhappy? Is there something uncomfortable? Huh?" Mr. Hou asked with concern from the side.
"Brother Feng, don't worry, I'm not feeling uncomfortable, I'm just a little worried." Fu'er turned her head and frowned slightly and said in a gentle and nice voice.
"worry about what?"
"Worry about this child." Fu'er lowered her head and touched her belly with her hand, and everyone's eyes followed her movements. The lady continued: "There have been several messages from the Villa recently, and it is certain that it is this child. They have been suggesting that I go back to recuperate. This child... I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse, Brother Feng, I'm hurting you. I know you've always been someone who doesn't want to be bound."
"Fu'er, how can you say that? Not to mention that this child also belongs to me. If someone wants to harm my son, I will protect him at all costs. There is no reason to be implicated. Just say We have gone through so much together before we can finally be together. How could I abandon you? People say that pregnant women love to have random thoughts, and I understand that, but you have a big belly, so don’t think so much about it. I I never feel implicated. If you are really worried about this child, I will accompany you back to the villa. At worst, I will live outside the villa and just visit you every day." The Marquis said quickly.
"But..." Fu'er raised her head and hesitated to speak.
Seeing his wife's condition, Chang Jin said from behind: "Husband, don't worry so much, we will definitely protect your wife." Chang Huai stood next to him with an expressionless face. After hearing this, he felt he stood up straighter.
"I can't bear to see you sacrifice your lives like this." The lady's expression became even more sentimental.
"Madam is kind-hearted. There is really no need to be upset about us. Brothers always know what it is like to face them. This is the meaning of our existence."
Listening to their conversation, Yue Qing had an intuition that something bad must have happened before.
The madam was not comforted by these words and sighed slightly. She was really a sentimental woman. Yue Qing felt that it would be very tiring if she lived with her for a long time.
"Fu'er, why don't we go for a walk and relax." The Marquis suggested when he saw that she was not getting better.
"That's fine." Madam said, Xiaoye quickly came over to help her.
"Come, I will help you." The Marquis said over there.
The lady put her hand on the Marquis's.
After coming out of the private room and walking from the second floor to the first floor, Yue Qing didn't have much interest in this bustling pavilion, perhaps due to the influence of his wife's mood.
Several people passed through the hall on the first floor. As soon as the people walking in the hall saw that this was a guard and a maid, they knew that this important person could not be offended, so they gave way. The weather outside was a bit gloomy, which affected the lady's low mood.
At first glance, the street is a very prosperous area. The pedestrians and vendors selling goods make the whole street very lively. There are also some beggars sitting beside the lifeless walls, stalling on the roadside and dying. The rich people stretched out their hands and asked for food. Seeing the Madam and her group coming out, several beggars nearby hurriedly came over. The Madam begged, "Bodhisattva, please give me something to eat. We haven't eaten in three days." The Madam signaled Xiaoye to give them some alms, and immediately spoke again. A group of people gathered around her. Yue Qing had never seen such a battle before. There are no such groups of beggars in modern society. Immediately, a group of people wearing similar clothes to Chang Jin but with different colors came to the side of the door and blocked the group of beggars. The Marquis quickly left with his wife, and Xiaoye left a maid behind to give alms to these beggars. .
................................................................. .........
They said they were going out for a walk, but they ended up taking a carriage. The Madam’s carriage was very luxurious. First of all, it was very big. Yue Qing saw that it was much bigger than the bed in her room. The bed in Yue Qing’s room belonged to the three of them. It was the biggest bed among the girls, a double bed, although she was the only one sleeping there. Dark red is the main tone, and the roof is decorated with silk and gorgeous tassels. There are two bamboo-barred windows on the left and right sides, with gauze curtains hanging inside. There was a wooden sign hanging in front of the car. Yue Qing didn't recognize what words were written on it. It might be to make it more convenient for the owner to get on the car. The place where the groom sat in front of the car was also very large. There were four horses in front of the car. The horses are juxtaposed.
Seeing the Marquis coming with his wife in his arms, the groom neatly took out two steps and put them under the carriage shaft, and a group of people helped his wife get on the carriage. The Marquis helped his wife sit down on the bench in front of the window, and sat down with her. Xiaoye also got on the carriage and was kneeling next to Madam.
Yue Qing's consciousness was with them, and she suddenly felt that the dream time this time was a bit long, as if she woke up quickly the previous few times. I don't know why, but the time this time was indeed a bit long. It's not that Yue Qing doesn't like watching movies, the key point is that the plot is not very exciting. Although the heroine's wife seems a bit friendly, she will feel bored if she keeps observing other people's lives.
"Madam, let's have some tea." Xiaoye's voice brought Yueqing back to consciousness after she had wandered off for a while. Only then did Yue Qing see that there was a small table in the carriage with some refreshments and a small incense burner on the table, which looked very cute. There is a bed at the back of the car, which is small enough for one person to lie down on. It is almost as wide as the sofa in Yueqing's and their living rooms, and is more comfortable than a train sleeper. There is also a small table next to the bed, with some books and other items placed on it. The curtains hanging inside the bamboo window are made of light red gauze, which is also embroidered with some flower and plant patterns, and also has some small pearls and other embellishments. It looks very beautiful and delicate. In addition to the curtains on the four walls of the carriage , and some other small and exquisite decorations.
I thought before that the Marquis's house was very rich, such a big mansion, and the place they lived in was so grand. This time, I felt deeply that the Marquis's family seemed to be really rich and really enjoyed themselves.
"Fu'er, you've looked a lot better recently. It seems that I really need to take you out more often to relax." The Marquis put down the cup that was used to feed Madam the water and said to Madam.
"It's probably because of the spirit stone. It has always had the effect of nourishing. Ever since the spirit stone suddenly lit up last time, I felt that my body was wrapped in a force. The seventh elder specially told me that the stone nourishes the soul, and the soul nourishes the stone. Since I was sure it was this child, I have been asked to wear this spiritual stone on my body all the time."
"It's very good, but it's a pity that I can't witness its brilliance." Brother Feng said.
Yue Qing was confused and didn't know what they were talking about.
The lady looked at him with a tender expression. "I really hope it's a boy so that Brother Feng can have an heir. I don't know if my bones can withstand the torture anymore."
"As long as you and the child are safe, everything will be fine." Mr. Hou said, touching his wife's belly.
Yue Qing looked helpless when she heard this. To be honest, she wasn't too cold about family ethics dramas. After listening to it boringly for a while, they were all boring topics. If Yue Qing couldn't understand the words, she started to feel a little irritated, and she didn't even notice that the carriage gradually left the busy city.
Xiao Ye interrupted them and said, "Master Marquis, Madam, should we go out of the city or back to the house." Only then did Yue Qing notice that they had gone to a somewhat eccentric place.
The Marquis looked at his wife, who turned to look out the window. Xiaoye had already opened the curtains.
I just heard the lady say: "Go back home, I'm a little tired too." Just as she was about to turn her head, she didn't know what she saw and turned back again. Xiaoye and Mr. Hou both looked in the direction she was looking.
"Stop," said the lady. The sound wasn't loud, and Xiaoye didn't say anything, but the carriage did stop.
"What's wrong, Fu'er?"
"Brother Feng, look at that child."
Everyone looked over there curiously, and Yue Qing also looked over. This place was not as prosperous as the busy city just now. There were not many people walking around. Their group was a bit conspicuous, and generally no carriages would stop in such a place. The houses here are relatively ordinary and seem to be where civilians live, not even beggars. Oh, there is still one, the child the lady is referring to.
He was huddled next to a tree in front of a house. He was dressed in rags. He was a very small child and was not very conspicuous. I don’t know how the lady noticed him in the walking carriage, nor in this empty alley. I know if I can get food.
"What's wrong with this child? Is there anything special? The South was not peaceful a while ago, and there were many children like him." The Marquis said.
"Brother Feng, I don't know why, but I feel that this child and I are destined. Let's take him in, just to accumulate some blessings for the unborn child."
"Take the child with you." Mr. Hou said to the outside.
"No, I want to go down and have a look."
"Fu'er, just...just ask the guards to take them back to the house. You have a body, if you get infected with something..."
There was no intention of giving in on the lady's face.
"Oh, okay, I'll go with you." Mr. Hou said helplessly.
A group of people helped the lady get out of the carriage.
................................................................. .........
When I got closer, I saw the child's appearance clearly. He had messy hair and was dirty. Like most beggars, he had a stink and his feet seemed to be injured. When he saw this group of people coming, , did not come up to beg, but looked wary.
Looking at his expression, Yue Qing felt that this child was somewhat mature. He looked less than 5 years old, and his eyes seemed to reflect the experience of being eighteen or nineteen years old. I don't know what this child has been through. He looked at everyone with a somewhat cruel expression. Even Yue Qing could see that there was hatred in it. She didn't know if it was directed at this group of people or this society, but Yue Qing suddenly felt a little attracted.
A guard pulled him over, and he struggled a little. At this time, you could see that his leg was indeed injured, and it was still very new, and it looked like it hadn't been long ago. One leg felt like it was being dragged along. After the guards pulled him over, he stood there with a stubborn look on his face.
Xiaoye helped his wife sit down on the prepared soft stool. The lady looked at him and asked gently: "My child, why are you here alone? Why don't you go to the street?"
The little boy didn't speak, just looked at the lady.
"How did you get hurt?"
The child still didn't speak.
"Come with us, I will take good care of you. Okay?"
The kid had a little reaction. "Really?"
"Really, I have an unborn child in my belly. When he is born, will you stay with him?"
The little boy quickly knelt down and cried: "Thank you, my benefactor, I will work hard."
"Okay, don't cry. I won't bully you again." Madam quickly wanted to help him, but Xiaoye stepped forward and helped him up.
The little boy stood up. His eyes no longer had the vigilance and cruelty before, but his face still had a determination that was not for his age. He said to the lady, "My benefactor,..."
Then it disappeared. The long-awaited alarm finally rang, and Yue Qing opened her eyes.
It was really a long dream. Yue Qing sat up, picked up the still ringing phone, glanced at the time, and turned off the alarm clock. The sky outside the window has not yet completely lit up, but there are already various sounds, including cars, people, street lights and building lights, which completely illuminate the gray dawn. Yue Qing hugged her legs, put her chin on her legs, and thought about her dream last night. The same as the previous times, this time it is also a part of the life of the heroine Mrs. Furr, but this time it lasts longer and we see more. This dream must not be over yet. I didn't have any bad reactions, so I didn't plan to do any special treatment.
"Ah~, let's just dream like this~~" Yue Qing stretched herself and said to herself. "I don't want to think about it anymore, let it be, let nature take its course, get up!"
Thinking that she had to deliver food to the Xuehua couple in the hospital, Yueqing hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen, cooked a soup quickly, quickly freshened up, and went out, planning to buy some steamed buns and fried dough sticks on the way. Bring the class with you as soon as possible.
