Chapter Eighty-Six: Visiting the Family
Guo Wenying's carriage left the city and went straight to the farm on the outskirts of Beijing, although it was not Guo's mansion, but it was her real home, just because there were some people who really cared about her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Originally, she didn't want to go to see the nurse and the master this time, after all, she couldn't stay in Beijing for many days, and if she was discovered, it would be more troublesome. But in the palace for a few days, she really had nothing to do, and she missed her family more and more.
I thought it would be better to take a run, see them, and send some silver to settle down on the way. After all, the nurse and the master are both old, and the master is disabled, and without her by her side, I am afraid that life will be more difficult.
The road in the farm was narrow, and the carriage stopped at the entrance of the village and could no longer move forward, Guo Wenying got out of the car and asked Yunmo to bring several gifts for others.
Yunmo carried two jars of wine in his left hand and two large boxes in his right hand, and followed her along the muddy path.
It had just snowed a few days ago, and after the snow melted, the already uneven path became even more difficult to walk, and the feet were covered with yellow mud after a few steps, and I couldn't shake it off.
Yunmo struggled to lift his feet, and couldn't help but ask, "My lord, what kind of place is this?
Guo Wenying raised her head at the often slightly gloomy sky, thinking about whether it would snow, but said: "What else can I do, of course I went home." ā
Yunmo said "ah", he really didn't expect that Guo Wenying, who usually looks at the extravagant, would come out of this kind of place, and he thought that she was the ghost boy who grew up in the door of the mansion in Beijing.
Guo Wenying walked forward, suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "When you get here, you don't call me an adult, just call me a son." ā
"Yes, Childe. ā
After walking for a while, I finally passed this dirt field, and a low farmhouse appeared in front of me, and several people stood outside the farmhouse, and when they saw someone coming from afar, someone shouted, "Childe is here, Childe is back." ā
Someone shouted again: "Go and tell Aunt Xu, just say that the person she was looking forward to day and night is back." ā
Then there was a sound of joy, and several people ran back, and some ran to her, looking at her with excited faces.
Guo Wenying's heart suddenly swelled with a warm current, these people are all peasant heads in Zhuangzi, although they are vulgar, they all have a sincere heart.
She greeted them one by one, and asked Yunmo to take out some pastries from the box and distribute them to everyone. These were all made in the kitchen of the palace, and the taste was different from that bought in the market, and the farmers were full of joy and took it, and thanked them repeatedly.
There were a lot of cakes scattered, Yunmo couldn't help but slander, on weekdays, he felt that this adult was picking the door, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and the gifts brought back home had to come out of the palace, and there might be how many people arranged her behind her back. Thinking of the natural appearance of her ordering the cook to make snacks last night, I felt a little headache, and the two jars of wine this morning were brought by the chief manager himself, and this adult didn't look like an unruly person, how could he do this?
In fact, Guo Wenying also has a bit of deliberate meaning in doing this, on the one hand, she really doesn't have much money in her hands, and she feels distressed to spend money on gifts, on the other hand, it is also for the sake of responding to people, anyway, she doesn't want to leave a good impression in the palace, and it is better to be disgusted by the master.
She didn't know that Feng Jingting didn't treat her as an outsider at all, and at noon she heard Xu Mao say that she brought something from the mansion to Zhuangzi, and she was very happy, thinking that she would finally treat him as her own family. Then he reprimanded Xu Mao for not knowing how to do things, why not buy more for people to take with him. Xu Mao was stunned, and said in his heart, who is the guest treated like this, who cares about eating and living, and taking it? Why haven't I seen you be so generous to others?
He slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and even claimed "yes", and couldn't help but secretly say, this time it is true, the relationship between the prince and Lord Guo is unusual, and he will have to serve more carefully in the future.
Guo Wenying naturally didn't know this, she was making cakes, and heard a cry behind her, "Nannan, my good nannan." ā
Guo Wenying turned around and saw the nurse Xu standing under the door, looking at her and already in tears, and Hongxiang next to her was also wiping her tears.
The nurse is a native of Quzhou, Quzhou customs are called Nan Nan for female dolls, she and Guo Wenying are not mother and daughter but better than mother and daughter, at this moment, a heart rushed up, I can't wait to take her into my arms and make love.
Guo Wenying was also excited in her heart, and told Yunmo to wait outside, and helped the nurse into the room. The door closed, and the two hugged their heads and cried for a while, looking at each other with tears of surprise in their eyes.
After so many years in the army, unless she was bullied by Feng Jingting, she never cried with blood and sweat, but she really wanted to cry at this time, she really missed them so much.
Hongxiang saw them crying sadly on the side, and couldn't help but persuade: "Aunt Xu is not in good health, it's better to cry less, Miss is too, crying more hurts your body." ā
Guo Wenying took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and asked softly, "How has the nurse been doing in the past few years?"
"It's okay, there is food and drink, you send money back every year, and I and Hongxiang Luyu can also do some work, and life is not sad. It's just that over the years, I don't know how you've been living outside? As he spoke, he couldn't hold back his tears.
Guo Wenying coaxed a few words, nothing more than saying that she was doing well outside, so she didn't have to worry about it. Xu Shi saw that she was dressed very luxuriously, and she still had a little servant by her side, and she was also a little relieved. Thinking of her daughter's identity, she couldn't let go of her feelings after all, and couldn't help but say again: "It's not a matter for you to disguise yourself as a man and show up outside, it's better to go back to the house earlier, even if they have treated you wrongly, they are dear people after all." If you can't write two Guo characters in one stroke, you will get married in the future, and you will have to rely on your mother's support. ā
Guo Wenying listened to her words and asked, "Is someone from the Guo family here to pick me up?"
Hongxiang said: "Since the second year of the young lady's departure, someone has come, saying that the girl is going to take her back to the house when she is older, after all, the old marquis gave a kiss before his death." You weren't there at that time, we were so anxious that we didn't dare to say that you went out, for fear of ruining your reputation, and finally let Green Jade pretend to be you and lie on the bed and pretend to be sick. It also happened that at that time, the green jade had chickenpox, and his face was red, and the people in the house were afraid of infection, so they left in a hurry. I came here again last year, and I also said that you were sick and couldn't move. I don't think the second wife in Nafu really wants to take the young lady back, so she just casually let people take a look and leave. Whether it's to pick up, whether to stay, or a few polite words at will, there is no way to say it so far. ā
Xu Shi said angrily: "Most of these people don't really want to, if they really want to be good for Miss, they will leave some silver for Miss to see her illness, but they don't say anything, and they don't give money, and they don't invite the doctor to come and see, they don't seem to take Miss seriously at all." But if it weren't for that, it would have been leaked over the years. ā
