Chapter 54: The Feast
I don't want to know his name, and I didn't tell him my name, maybe it's just one of many ordinary little stories that pass by, maybe we won't see each other again, but I still owe someone a lifesaver. I hung my head and walked forward, thinking about whether to go to the General's Mansion or turn around and go back to the valley. But it's not easy to come to Yuling Street once, and since you're here, it's reasonable to go in and pay a visit. After all, the General's Mansion is still my home, but before my brother and father didn't come up with a perfect way to take me back to the house, I was still Shu Nianli's godsister, a country girl who recognized by chance, and I often came back to the General's Mansion, and the janitor also recognized me.
I looked at the heroic word 'Shufu' on the top of the door, sighed and walked in. Anyway, I was recovering from a serious illness and my stomach was hungry, so I was thinking as I went: go in and get something to fill my stomach, then scavenge some of my brother and daddy's treasures to block them, buy some clothes for early spring, and then buy some steamed buns, and go to see those poor people on West Street. Although Yuguo is a big country, it can be regarded as rich, but there are also a lot of beggars, especially in West Street, where there are many children, all of whom are poor people who can't send them there, they are reluctant to sell their children, but they are willing to put their children in West Street to let them grow, there, there will always be someone to help, although the children are not as good as the big families, but it is not a problem to survive, there is also an elderly gentleman, he spent his whole life, dedicated himself to those children, he taught and educated people, but did not take a penny.
This is why the poor are willing to send their children who can't afford to send them to West Street, if they are hungry and lucky, if the children are lucky, they can still get some small fame when they grow up. This is much more promising than being sold into slavery for the rest of your life in a big family. The Imperial Kingdom also acquiesced in the participation of the children here in the imperial examinations. Although they are not the pillars of the country, they have their own places to go.
"Miss. "As soon as I stepped up the steps, the little servant saluted me respectfully. My clothes don't look very good, but I bought them myself and changed them myself, I don't like those decent clothes, there are no pockets, and it's inconvenient to not be able to put things. The clothes that I have changed are very strange to others, but I am the godsister of the general's mansion Shu Gongzi, and no matter what I wear, they are respectful to me.
I looked at the little guy in the doorway, nodded, and stepped inside.
However, as soon as I stepped one foot through the door and took it back, I felt a gaze looking at me, and the faint feeling of being watched was strange, so I turned to look for the gaze that was looking at me.
Unfortunately, I didn't see anything after looking around, and no one looked at me at the street. Hmm, could it be that I was sick, and my brain and senses were hallucinating because I was sick?
I turned my head and lifted the hem of my skirt into the house.
In the hidden position of the street corner, a carriage was quietly parked at the corner, and seeing that he had entered the general's mansion, a slender hand slowly lowered the curtain: "Let's go......"
"Yes!" ordered the little servant, and drove the carriage swaying into the bustling crowd.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw my mother basking in the sun on the chaise longue in the courtyard. The maid was the first to spot me, and she was about to wake up her mother, but I stopped her with a gesture.
I came back to fill my stomach and take some inconspicuous possessions to help the poor children, I don't plan to stay longer, especially my mother, I don't want her to know that I'm back, if I let her know that I'm back, I will definitely not be able to leave.
My mother loves me, and every time she comes back, she pulls me and doesn't let go, her eyes are full of pity. I know she's been nice to me, and I grew up outside all these years and she feels indebted to me. But what I was particularly afraid of was her passion for giving me all the good stuff. I don't have any other thoughts about my mother, I have been taken care of by my brother and father and master over the years, and this carefree life is also very good, although I don't live in the house often, but I don't feel anything. I like to live freely, and I don't like the cumbersome etiquette of the princes and nobles at all.
I walked lightly past my mother's chaise longue, I knew that my mother was also a person with sharp senses, so I deliberately signaled the maid beside her to make tea to make some movement as a cover, and I took this opportunity to restrain my breath and breathe quickly past the side.
Fortunately, my mother slept deeply, and she didn't notice me. I quickly ran to the kitchen, ready to pack some food, and headed straight for my brother and daddy's study. They had a lot of treasures in their study, and I took some of the worthless ones and brought them something along the way. Anyway, it's just an ornament to put them there, but in the eyes of poor children, it's a fragrant white-flour steamed bun.
As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw Mama Gui making pastries, and I walked up to her lightly to surprise her: "Mama Gui!"
As soon as the voice came out, I reached out and went to Mama Menggui's eyes. And Mama Gui reacted quickly, she grabbed my hand with her backhand, and the gesture was like throwing me to the ground, I quickly shouted: "Mama Gui, I'm a long man!"
"Ah, it's Miss!" Mama Gui quickly let go of me and let me go, "Miss Manman, why don't you come back without squeaking?"
I rubbed my slightly aching wrist, "I want to surprise Grandma Gui." "But there was no surprise, but I almost lost myself. Mama Gui has martial arts, it's not a secret, this is the General's Mansion, even if it's a girl who burns a fire in the kitchen, there are a few hits.
"Ouch, you're scaring me. Mama Gui pounded her chest and panted deliberately, "It's just right, there is a banquet held in the mansion today, since you are back, go back and change your clothes, and stay with your mother and relatives later......"
"What? Banquet, what banquet?" I was a little confused, I had never asked about the affairs of the house, but I was not interested in the banquet or anything. On such an occasion, as long as I don't want to, no one can force me. Yes, many people know that General Shu has a goddaughter, but General Shu's goddaughter is willful and rude, because she worships the master and is not in the house all the year round, which is also a well-known current event. Although this is just an excuse for the world, the reason is that my brother and father deliberately did not let me appear in the eyes of everyone, but they played the abacus of keeping me in captivity for the rest of their lives, and they would not let me come into contact with those unnecessary people in the officialdom.
I don't like those scenes, and I don't like the false greetings between the nobles of the palace, I can't handle those things, and I don't bother to deal with them. In the house, I am a free man, I can do whatever I want, as long as I like it, I can be so casual and willful, which is hindered by the favor of my brother, father and mother.
