Chapter 17: Success
Seeing that Mrs. Liu's face was not good, Hongwen hurriedly said: "At that time, the place that Mrs. Qi and I chose was dark and unlit, and she could only vaguely see a person's figure, so it was impossible to know who we were." ”
Mrs. Liu only asked, "Did she shout?"
Seeing that she didn't know why, Hongwen only said: "Although she didn't hide when she saw us, she didn't shout." ”
Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Since this is the case, I think she is not a serious businessman, so she must not dare to talk nonsense." It's just that you still have to be more cautious in the future. ”
The red lines responded, and they were also relieved.
Mrs. Liu said: "This time I went out, I took a few of them with Rue, you are the person I brought from the northwest, the most stable, you just stay at home and take care of it, especially to pay attention to the rumors outside, as well as the movements of the three girls and Chen girls." ”
Mrs. Liu Fu instructed Hongwen for a long time to go to the maid in the temple tomorrow, arrange clothes, carriages and horses, etc., and then stop after four watches.
Spring nights, when it is warm and cold, it is the most difficult to rest.
Lin Zhixuan lay on the bed and tossed and turned, she was very flustered, and somehow, in the dead of night, as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the situation of the Hou Mansion in front of her, and when she opened her eyes, it was the boudoir of her childhood. It's not that she doesn't want to sleep, she's really tired, but at this moment, she really doesn't dare to sleep.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, she didn't even know if she was alive or dead.
Will every qiē in front of her be a dream, and when she wakes up from the dream, will she be the head of the family who is decisive in killing, or the innocent concubine of the Lin Mansion?
True and false, false and true, like a dream, where is a dream, where is an illusion?
Lin Zhixuan was worried in her heart, maybe even she didn't notice the anxiety in her heart, Lin Ruoxuan's matter, she was anxious, and she couldn't wait to ask Qiu Ju to take such a big risk, for fear that her remnant soul would just float by like the wind, after today, after this time, she would have no chance to redeem it......
Just when Lin Zhixuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night, the door creaked open, and Qiu Ju came back with the bird's nest porridge in the food box.
Qiu Ju's hands and feet were extremely light, Lin Zhixuan woke up, but Dongmei, who was sleeping next to her feet, didn't even notice it, and slept soundly.
Lin Zhixuan opened the curtain and looked at Qiu Ju who came over with hot bird's nest porridge, and her mind seemed to be slightly settled.
Looking at Dongmei's sleeping appearance, Qiu Ju was angry and laughing, and was trying to get her up, but this scene made Lin Zhixuan's heart warm, and it made her feel at ease, as if she really returned to the warm and beautiful nights in those winter boudoirs, and the one in front of her was a little more comfortable and real, she stopped Qiu Ju and whispered to her: "Let her sleep, it's been a tiring day." ”
Qiu Ju gently blew the bird's nest porridge to Lin Zhixuan, Lin Zhixuan asked her to sit on her bed and asked her in a low voice, "Can the matter be done?"
Qiu Ju had a smile on her face, nodded vigorously at Lin Zhixuan, and then explained the twists and turns of the road to Lin Zhixuan one by one.
Qiu Ju finally chose Lin Zhixuan. Not only for herself, but also because of that inexplicable feeling. Since Lin Zhixuan woke up, the feeling that Qiu Ju gave was very different, that feeling was difficult for you to say, Qiu Ju couldn't explain it to Gu's mother, no one could believe it, but Qiu Ju believed it.
Call her stupid or stupid. After all, she ignored Gu's mother's obstruction, and went to call the door alone to move the bucket, but even if Qiu Ju took out ten taels of silver, the mother-in-law guarding the door in Lin Ruoxuan's room did not let Qiu Ju in.
Looking at her stubborn appearance, Gu's mother knew that she was hard-hearted, but after all, she couldn't bear it, the mother-in-law who guarded the door in Lin Ruoxuan's house was Gu's mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, Gu's mother said a lot of good things, and said that she didn't have to take the blame, as long as she dragged it back tomorrow morning.
That Mrs. Liu took the money, and felt that her in-laws were reasonable, plus she was also pitiful Lin Ruoxuan, she finally opened the door, and the three of them helped carry the water in, Qiu Ju personally served Lin Ruoxuan to bathe, Gu's mother also kindly boiled brown sugar ginger soup, and served Lin Ruoxuan to sleep peacefully, and Qiu Ju left with the bird's nest porridge boiled by Gu's mother.
Although Gu's mother has been calm, Qiu Ju also knows that Gu's mother really loves her, so she wants to give the last eight taels of silver to Gu's mother as a thank you, Gu's mother insisted on not accepting it, only looked at her and said angrily: "What do you do for me? I can tell you, if something happens tomorrow, we just push it on you, whether it is dead or alive, you can weigh it yourself." ”
Qiu Ju naturally led Gu's mother's love in her heart, but she couldn't say these words to Lin Zhixuan, Qiu Ju only said that Gu's mother helped her behind her, coaxing Lin Zhixuan to drink two sips of bird's nest and quickly fall asleep, but Lin Zhixuan was thinking about the other two groups of sneaky people that Qiu Ju met.
"Girl, it's almost dawn, you can sleep a little. ”
Lin Zhixuan was slightly stunned, then she looked up at the pale sky, a day has passed, the day is almost dawn, she has not left here yet, does it mean that she can stay for another day.
"Qiu Ju, if I fall asleep and wake up, will I still be here?" Lin Zhixuan asked slowly.
Qiu Ju cleaned up the bird's nest and put the bed curtain for Lin Zhixuan: "Where can the girl be if she wakes up and is not here? ”
Lin Zhixuan was still full of uneasiness: "Don't go back, just sleep here." ”
Although Qiu Ju didn't understand Lin Zhixuan's dependence on her, this dependence also made Qiu Ju happy, she only thought that the third girl had fallen, so she was afraid of being accompanied by someone at night, so she said: "Okay, Qiu Ju is here to accompany the girl." ”
Lin Zhixuan saw that Qiu Ju's mattress was occupied by Dong Mei, Dong Mei slept soundly and couldn't tell her to get up, Qiu Ju was about to squeeze Dong Mei, Lin Zhixuan said: "She doesn't sleep honestly, she punches and kicks, why bother squeezing her, come to bed." ”
Qiu Ju saw that Lin Zhixuan treated her sincerely, and it would be redundant for her to shirk it, so she also carefully agreed, took off her coat and went to bed, but only put one bedside next to her, which was regarded as sleeping with Lin Zhixuan.
Lin Zhixuan looked at Qiu Ju beside her, her eyes were red again, and her voice was desolate and confused: "Qiu Ju, if I sleep, will you really be there?"
Qiu Ju turned sideways, looking at Lin Zhixuan with tears in her eyes, the pain made her heart tremble, why did the girl ask this question over and over again?
She gradually felt that maybe it wasn't because her little daughter was afraid of the dark on a moonlit night, it wasn't the look that a little girl would have, and Qiu Ju always felt that Lin Zhixuan had no longer looked like that little girl since she woke up.
"We're still here, we've been with the girl, Dongmei and I are here, the girl can just call us whatever she wants. ”
Lin Zhixuan smiled faintly and closed her eyes, but burst into tears. I don't know if it was because of Qiu Ju's company that made her feel at ease, Lin Zhixuan gradually fell asleep.
