Chapter 13 Inquiry
Walking to the back wall of the Qin family's old house, Meng Jingke had lost consciousness. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Qin E dragged him out of the dog hole into the yard with all her might, and then couldn't move a single bit. She helped Meng Jingke lean against the wall, covered it with sundries, and quietly returned to the wing.
After leaving home for a day and a night, although I left a letter, my family must have panicked.
I hope Qiu Ju and Dong Mei can help her cover well, and don't let her mother and sister know. With some guilt and guilt, Qin E went to the kitchen in dodge.
As she expected, Dongmei was indeed making breakfast.
But today Dongmei is obviously a little absent-minded, the fire in the hearth is about to be extinguished, and she hasn't thought of adding firewood yet.
"Silly Dongmei, if you don't add firewood, it will be extinguished. ”
Qin E's sudden speech frightened Dongmei a lot, she jumped up from the ground, glared at her eyes and exclaimed, "Big, big, big miss!"
Qin E smiled: "Big, big, big miss, when did you stammer? ”
Dongmei stomped her feet, her face full of anger: "Miss, why are you still in the mood to laugh? Do you know how anxious we are for this day and night? Qiu Ju and I were scared half to death, but we didn't dare to alarm people, we wanted to hide it from Mrs. on the one hand, and second miss on the other. Seeing that it was starting to snow, the two of us were so confused, if it weren't for the fear that Mrs. and Second Miss would find out about the trouble, we would have gone into the mountains to look for you. You might as well let the two of us find a rope and hang ourselves, and we don't have to be so frightened. ”
Dongmei crackled and poured bitter water, and at the end, her eyes were red, and she turned around with a choked voice. Qin E was robbed by her, and she only felt warm in her heart, so she walked over and held her hand.
The hands were cold, the back of the red and rough hand was frostbitten, and the palm was a layer of hard calluses.
Qin E's nose couldn't help but sour.
Dongmei was the most beautiful in the maid, and she liked to wear red and green the most, and she was born to stand in the snow, which was three points more beautiful than the most beautiful red plum in the plum garden.
Qin E gently shook Dongmei's hand, and said coquettishly like Qin Yan: "Okay Dongmei, didn't I come back safely? Next time I'll stop worrying you like this, okay, okay?"
Dongmei was most afraid of this, and sure enough, she raised her hand in surrender after a few clicks, and said angrily: "Eldest Miss, how can you play like the second Miss?" and asked with concern: "Did the eldest lady bump into something? Hungry or not? You wait a while, I'll boil the porridge well." ”
Qin E grabbed her: "Dongmei, you wait and cook, come and do me a favor first." ”
Dongmei naturally agreed, followed Qin E all the way to the root of the backyard wall, and said puzzledly: "Miss, what are we doing here?"
Qin E motioned for her to be quieter and gently pushed away the piles of debris.
"How can there be a dead man here!" Dongmei was surprised, Qin E shook her head: "It's not dead, but if we don't save him, I'm afraid we won't live long." Give me a hand, and we'll carry him to the storehouse on the west side. ”
Dongmei hurriedly set up the unconscious Meng Jingke with Qin E.
The whole family belongs to Dongmei's greatest strength, chopping wood, carrying water to cook rice, and doing all the heavy work. But Qin E remembered that among her mother's four big girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter, she was the most squeamish, and she was too heavy to hold a needle. Because she is the youngest, everyone spoils her, and she is lazy by her delicate tricks. In a blink of an eye, the past was like smoke, Chunlan and Xia Zhu were sold out not long after the accident, and Qiu Ju and Dongmei followed them to Liaodong.
The girl who was as bright as the flowers at the beginning has also been grinded out by poverty at this moment.
Where are they going?
Can they really return to the capital and return to the Qin Mansion safely?
Can she really clear her mother's name and find justice for her mother Zhaoxue as she looks forward to day and night?
It wasn't until he walked to the warehouse piled up with sundries that Qin E's thoughts were withdrawn. Both of them were tired and panting, but fortunately there was nothing in the warehouse, Dongmei quickly cleaned up a place, and ran back to the room to quietly take out a quilt and spread it on two large boxes, which put Meng Jingke down.
Qin E didn't plan to let people see her for the time being, so she asked Dongmei to give birth to a small charcoal basin, found hot water, cotton cloth, scissors and the only little medicine they had, and bandaged Meng Jingke's wound again.
Meng Jingke had a few more new injuries on her body, but fortunately, it was not serious, and she could barely cope with it clumsily. It's just that the shoulders are too heavy, and you have to find a doctor to take a look.
But for what reason did they find a doctor? A man suddenly appeared in the courtyard of women, and the word spread out, let alone the mother, and all of them were ruined. Without the need to do anything in the capital, the clan can dispose of them all.
Qin E sighed, and the mood that had just been relaxed became heavy again.
Dongmei carries a tray with steaming gruel and steamed buns on top. Qin E was cold and scared for two days, and when she ate hot food at this time, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Miss, what the hell is this man doing? I see that he is injured, and it is very dangerous, so let's leave him at home for fear that it will be inappropriate. ”
Qin E glanced at Meng Jingke, who was sleeping deeply: "I know it's not appropriate to leave him at home like this, but looking at his appearance, there is no other way." You can't watch your life-saver die in the barren mountains, can you?"
"So he's your savior?"
Qin E bowed his head: "If there is no him, I will fall to my death on the mountain, where can I sit here and eat with my whole head and tail." His affairs must not leak the slightest rumor, these **** are more hard, we take turns to take care of him, and everything will be said when he wakes up. ”
Qin E quickly finished eating, went back to the room to pick up a look, and went to see Shen and Qin Yan.
As soon as she walked on her front foot, Meng Jingke woke up slowly.
Although his injuries were serious, years of training and vigilance did not allow him to sleep for long. When he opened his eyes, he saw mottled wooden beams and walls, and a young woman was tidying up with her back to him.
Dongmei turned around and saw Meng Jingke wake up, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "You woke up so fast, I thought you were going to sleep for a day." Do you want to drink some water? The eldest lady said you haven't eaten for a long time, do you want to eat some porridge?"
Meng Jingke's eyes were deep, he looked straight into Dongmei's eyes, and said slowly: "Who are you?
Dongmei stood in place as if she had been spelled, her hand holding the rag slowly drooped, her face gradually faded with joy, her eyes lost her mind, and she replied honestly: "My name is Dongmei, and the eldest lady is the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion, and her name is Qin E." ”
Meng Jingke frowned: "Which Qin Mansion?"
Dongmei said dumbfoundedly: "In the Qin Mansion of the Zhuangyuan Hutong in the capital, our master has a single name, Ren Taichang Temple Shaoqing." ”
Meng Jingke was slightly stunned: "Qin Yun?"
When it comes to the Qin family in Zhuangyuan Hutong, there is no one in the capital who doesn't know. Qin Wenshan, the ancestor of the Qin family, was the first and only champion of the three yuan and the first since the beginning of the dynasty, and later he was the first and first assistant, and he was a very remarkable figure. His two sons and three grandchildren have a list eye, a tanhua, and three jinshi, and they are even more famous in the capital. Emperor Taizu once praised his family style and taught his children well, and the royal pen personally mentioned the word "Qin Mansion" to make a plaque for Qin Wenshan's new mansion, and the alley where it was located was also given the name Zhuangyuan Hutong. Since the beginning of the dynasty, this kind of gift is unique and a great glory, and the Qin family has since entered the circle of the top families in the capital, and has truly entered the core of the circle of power.
However, the flowers and wealth of the year were already yesterday's yellow flowers, and now the talents of the Qin Mansion are withering. When Qin Huaili was alive, he asked his eldest son Qin Yun to marry the first talented woman in the capital, and he was the pearl of Shen Ge Lao. After Qin Huaili passed away, Qin Yun relied on the support of his father-in-law, and it was also smooth. Unexpectedly, the Shen family actually committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and beheaded all over the house. married the Qin family of the Shen family, and the status became delicate again.
Unexpectedly, the little girl was the daughter of Qin Yun and Shen.
