Chapter One Thousand and Thirty-Eight
Besides, Xiao Jiangzi, who was thrown out of the house by Zhao Dezhu, was lying in the back hall of a pharmacy, struggling to sit up, looking at everything in front of him in a daze, and only remembered what happened today for a while, and finally wiped his face with a wry smile, and lay down stupidly leaning on the soft pillow behind him.
Who doesn't want to be a good person!
He, Xiao Jiangzi, whose surname is Jiang, was originally a child of a good family with a father and a mother, but because he was framed by his father's partial concubine, he was abducted and trafficked to the capital by traffickers who traveled north and south when he was watching lanterns during the Lantern Festival.
When he was first sent to Renyazi, he was still expecting to wait for his family to save him, and even naively begged Renyazi to send a letter to his own family, after all, he was the head of the family, and a male baby was worth more, but he could exchange it for a few taels of silver when he was sold, but since he was a child, he saw that his family was very wealthy, and it was normal to take out a few hundred taels of silver to thank Renyazi.
Human Yazi is also greedy for money, seeing that he can speak well, well-organized, and also see that the dress on his body is not simple, thinking about being a good person, earning a few hundred taels of silver by the way and going home to live a comfortable life, why bother smiling at the servants in the mansions of dignitaries and dignitaries every day, but this person's teeth are also simpler, since Xiao Jiangzi's father's concubine dared to find someone to abduct and sell the family's sister-in-law, how could he not deal with the mother who gave birth to Xiao Jiangzi, so when she worked hard to follow the not-so-obvious clues given by Xiao Jiangzi, and finally found the Jiang family, the person in charge of the Jiang family had already changed。
The concubine who found someone to abduct and sell Xiao Jiangzi didn't think that Xiao Jiangzi would find it back, for fear that what she had done would be revealed, so she ordered someone to find the inn where Ren Yazi lived overnight, and a fire almost burned Xiao Jiangzi to death in the inn, and Xiao Jiangzi was also fatal, and that night he happened to have a stomach, and he ran to the thatched house again and again, and with the clean water from the thatched house, he wet the cotton robe on his body and ran out of the fire.
After escaping from the fire, he waited outside the Jiang family's big mansion that occupied two streets for three days, and was so hungry that he had only one breath left, only hoping that his irresponsible father would come back to make decisions for him, but he should be unlucky, he did not wait for the good news of his father's return, but waited for his father, who was a layman, was robbed of goods by thieves, and lost his life.
At this time, the Jiang family completely fell into the hands of the concubine who designed to abduct and sell Xiao Jiangzi.
Xiao Jiangzi's father's favorite concubine has three sons, even the clan can't stop this favorite concubine from taking the throne, and the concubine Pan who found out that Xiao Jiangzi did not die in the fire is also ruthless, she knows that Xiao Jiangzi must be unwilling to leave like this, in the name of soup soup for Xiao Jiangzi's father, arranged for a capable mother-in-law to watch in the dark, and finally lured Xiao Jiangzi, who was half starved, out and took the opportunity to drug the bowl of hot porridge that Xiao Jiangzi drank.
In ancient times, productivity was low, and even ordinary farmers could hardly eat enough, not to mention the street begging for a living.
Pan's plan was very thorough and complete, but he didn't expect Xiao Jiangzi to be a real person.
Xiao Jiangzi held a bowl of hot porridge mixed with medicine, and drank it in three or two sips, and the mother-in-law next to her saw Xiao Jiangzi lying on the street with blood from her mouth and nose, and she was about to lose her breath, but she was kindly carried to the accompanying carriage by a passing official eunuch Fujin.
When Pan's mother-in-law reported the news to Pan, and Pan arranged for someone to catch up, the passing official Fujin already didn't know where to go, who made Xiao Jiangzi's hometown a famous water transport wharf, and there were countless ships coming and going every day, and he didn't know the identity of that person。
Xiao Jiangzi was rescued in this way, and he was also saved by the doctor.
The official eunuch Fujin who rescued Xiao Jiangzi is an ordinary deep daughter, she and her husband are in deep love, and there is no mother-in-law to stuff people into the room, although she has never given birth to an heir, but the days are sweet and wonderful, she is the little Jiangzi who met on the way back to her hometown and her husband to worship her ancestors, seeing that the washed Xiao Jiangzi has beautiful eyebrows and eyes, not like an ordinary beggar on the street, after asking Xiao Jiangzi about his origin, he also really felt sorry for his experience, so he discussed with her husband to accept him as a righteous son.
Xiao Jiangzi did not come to Tai, after a few years of good life, followed his father-in-law to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and gradually forgot the old hatred, but good luck is not always there, with the outbreak of the big case that shocked the government and the opposition in Kangxi for more than 40 years, Suo Etu was detained in the Zongren Mansion, and the official eunuch family who rescued Xiao Jiangzi was also involved, and the whole family was convicted, Xiao Jiangzi was dragged to the clean room of the Internal Affairs Mansion in a daze, and became a little eunuch who spoke sharply.
Because in addition to the days when he was a child on the streets, he has always been a young master who makes slaves and maids, where to do the work of serving people, so he is tormented in the internal affairs office, if he does not remember the father-in-law and stepmother who were sent to the frontier in his heart, he is really a rope to end his sad life.
In order to save his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he worked hard and endured, and finally waited for the Ulanala clan who rescued him from the sea of suffering.
The Wulanala clan is already the concubine of Prince Yong, and it is just a matter of one sentence to ask for a little eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is not difficult to bring a suffering couple thousands of miles away back to Beijing, but in order to let Xiao Jiangzi serve her loyally, she did not take the couple who had saved and raised Xiao Jiangzi back to Beijing, but placed them in a tea garden in the south of the Yangtze River.
Xiao Jiangzi is literate and hyphenated, and he does not look like those sissy eunuchs, he was the nail that the Wulanala clan wanted to arrange to the fourth master, but before she could arrange everything, she was disposed of by the fourth master, this Xiao Jiangzi went around in the backyard of the fourth master's mansion, but it was not that no one knew the origin of Xiao Jiangzi, so his life was not satisfactory, especially to help the stupid little Wulanala clan to gain a firm foothold in the house, he recognized Du Mama, who was in charge of purchasing, as his stepmother, and finally got mixed into the sewing room, thinking that he could often go in and out of the mansion and the sewing room, when necessary, to help the newcomers sent in by the Ulanala family, but it was unfortunate to be greedy for Mama Du.
"Father-in-law, stepmother, Jiang Ye can't help you!" Now that he was blasted out of the Fourth Master's Mansion by Erfu, he was depressed and helpless, lying down on the comfortable bed, he looked up at the sky outside the window that was gradually sinking, and muttered in a low voice, and then struggled to get up from the bed, and kowtowed three times in the direction of Jiangnan.
This time, he has completely made up his mind, as long as his injuries are better, he will go south to find his stepfather and stepmother.
Bai Jiao, who had been arranging for a little servant to listen to the corner outside, listened to the reply of the people below, twisted her brows, pondered for a moment, and commanded in a low voice: "Order someone to find a way to get close to him." ”
Immediately, she turned and went into the inner chamber to send a secret letter to Erf.
In the upper room of the main courtyard, Erfu, who was sitting on the Luohan bed doing needlework, received a secret letter, but it was not surprising.
She had wondered how Xiao Jiangzi could mix like a fish in water in the mansion before, just a Du Mama, I am afraid that she does not have such a deep foothold, but now that she has seen the secret letter sent by Bai Jiao, she quickly thinks of the deceased Wulanala clan.
Because she found out that Xiao Jiangzi had done everything possible to beg Mama Du to arrange for her to serve in the front yard.
As for Xiao Jiangzi's purchase of the backyard sewing room, it was just a choice for Xiao Jiangzi to take a step back after he failed to succeed, but even so, through Zhao Dezhu's careful investigation, she also found that Xiao Jiangzi seemed to be very curious about the news from Honghui's side, and often invited Honghui to go outside to drink tea and tea, and even the new clothes that the sewing room gave to Qinghui Pavilion in the front yard, he also carefully checked it, as if he was afraid that someone would do something to Honghui, and then contact Xiao Jiangzi is not a normal errand assigned by the Internal Affairs Office to the Fourth Master's Mansion, and it is not difficult to guess the master behind Xiao Jiangzi。
It's just that she is still a little curious about the origin of the stepfather and stepmother that Xiao Jiangzi said in his mouth!
Although the Wulanala clan has passed away, Honghui is destined to be unable to become the fourth master's preferred heir, but the Wulanala family's unremitting move to stuff people into the fourth master's mansion still makes Erfu pay more attention to Xiao Jiangzi, and it is precisely because of this attention that she did not object to Bai Jiao's arrangement, all uncertainties are still in her own hands, which can make Erfu feel more at ease.
However, she didn't pay too much attention to Xiao Jiangzi, the Wulanala clan was awarded the title of the fourth master Fujin by Emperor Kangxi in the thirtieth year of Kangxi, from the elder brother to Prince Yong's mansion, and took charge of the fourth master's mansion for more than 20 years, how much eyeliner can be placed, Erfu is not clear, I am afraid that even the fourth master may not be clear, and now a small Jiangzi has emerged, and then there will be little plums, small Zhaozi, Xiao Zhangzi and so on.
In her opinion, instead of paying too much attention to Xiao Jiangzi who has been exposed, she should step up her guard against other servants in the backyard, God knows if the Wulanala clan will hand over these connections to Honghui or others, the only thing she can be sure of now is that these hands did not fall into the hands of the little Wulanala Clan Pearl, otherwise the Little Ula Nala Clan Pearl would not have been so miserable, but it did not rule out the possibility that these hands would fall into the hands of Ruixi Gege, who was quite valued by the Wulanala family, otherwise the Wulanala family would not desperately raise the identity of Ruixi Gege and seek the status of side Fujin to enter the door。
"Yanmo, I want to reply to Bai Jiao. With this in mind, she instructed Yujie, who was waiting beside her.
After a while, a letter written in cipher was delivered to Bai Jiao's hand through a carrier pigeon raised in the backyard, Bai Jiao looked at the contents of the letter, twisted her brows in embarrassment, and then put the letter paper next to the candle and lit it, burned it and threw it into the copper basin under the table.
————————
On the eighth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the sky is sunny and breezy.
In the ancestral house of the Wulanala family, Ruixi Gege, who was wearing a water-red embroidered dragon and phoenix pattern, sat in front of the dressing table with a shy face, listening carefully to the teachings of the ancestors.
The sixteen-year-old Ruixi Gege eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, and the temperament is refined, like a hollow valley orchid, and like a gorgeous peony flower.
She was able to be selected by Dahasu and the Hitara clan from the age-appropriate Gege of the Ulanala family, not only because she was more beautiful in appearance and more noble in her family background, but also because she was clever and calm, although she was full of shyness at this time, her eyes were clear, and she was obviously not dazzled by the red splendid scenery that filled the house.
The old patriarch of the Wulanala family, the Fujin Xitara clan, explained all kinds of precautions in a chatter, took out a small booklet from his sleeve, stuffed it into Ruixi's hand, and asked people to help her go to the flower hall to greet the old sisters who came to congratulate her.
Gao Jia, who has been guarding the side and helping the Xi Mama, has the opportunity to come to Ruixi's side.
Gao Jia's family was born in the Han military banner, and her status in the family of the Wulanala clan is not high in the serious Manchurian aristocratic family, and she has never given birth to a son-in-law for Garla, so she is a little careful in doing things and behaving, giving people the impression that she is the kind of humble appearance of compromise, but just by virtue of her ability to sit firmly in the position of Garla Fujin, she also knows that she is a smart woman, she watched the Hitara clan go away, waved her hand to disperse the Xi Mama and the maidservant who were waiting on the side, sat on the embroidery pier next to the dressing table, looked at Ruixi with loving eyes, and explained earnestly: "E-Niang knows that you are a smart child, and you should know how to choose what is more conducive to your foothold in the Fourth Master's Mansion.
It's just that Eniang still explains a few more words to you first, the pearl and Mei'er who have entered the fourth master's mansion before you serve, although you are sisters of the same clan, you can't be more guarded, Eniang is a character for you, and she doesn't want you to glorify your ancestors, just ask you to live a stable and smooth life in the fourth master's mansion, don't take the instructions entrusted to you by the patriarch too seriously, Brother Honghui can get close to a few points, and take care of a few points if he can take care of it, after all, he wants to call you an aunt, but don't pull yourself into troubled waters for him.
Now the fourth master's mansion's Fu Jin Niu Hulu clan looks inconspicuous, and her family background is not prominent enough, but she can make the fourth master value her, and she will not hesitate to do such a thing to cover her ears and steal the bell for her, and she wants to cover up, that is her ability, so you must not underestimate her.
E-Niang knows that you have a high heart, but when it's time to soften your body, you have to soften your body.
You must always remember one sentence, you are the side Fujin, and she is the Fu Jin.
Respect and humility, this is the most important thing for the emperor and many princes, you don't think you are embarrassed to be a little low in the Niu Hulu clan, this person is to bow his head under the low eaves, and when you successfully give birth to an heir, you will gain a firm foothold in the fourth master's mansion, and you will not worry about the day when you don't turn over!" After speaking, she also took out a small booklet from her sleeve and stuffed it into Ruixi's hand.
However, the content of the booklet she handed to Ruixi is different from the booklet given to Ruixi by the Xitara clan, what the Xitara clan handed to Ruixi is the eyeliner connections that the Wulanala family has managed to install in the Fourth Master's Mansion and the Internal Affairs Mansion and the East and West Six Palaces over the years, and the booklet that Gao Jia's handed over to Ruixi is a realistic secret drama picture, so that Ruixi can hold the heart of the fourth master.
