Chapter 13 Inquiry
After the people dispersed, Zhiheyuan returned to tranquility. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The late autumn night is cold, and even the stars in the sky seem to be blinking, shining with cold light.
After Cai Lu sent Niu Mama and the others, she came in from outside and said with a smile: "It's cold this day, and the slave maid will change a thick quilt for the girl." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and took out a brand-new brocade quilt from the six large cabinets, the pink satin was embroidered with gold and silver threads to create elegant flowers, the newly beaten cotton was soft and comfortable, and it had just been sunburned in the daytime, and it seemed that he could still smell the sunshine in his arms at this moment.
Feng Shujia watched Cai Lu fold the old quilt and put it away, and spread out the new quilt to cover it, and asked softly, "How is Cai Wei?"
In the past, these personal services were all done by Cai Wei.
Cai Lu's men paused, continued to tuck the horns, and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, she's resting in the house right now!"
If you make a big mistake like "throwing away your master", you can't run away with a few boards.
Actually, she can't be blamed for this. Feng Shujia sighed, "...... Look at what you need, just tell me, I can't leave you by my side, and I can't leave her. ”
Feng Shujia, who was so kind and protective of the servant, was shocked in Cailu's heart, but she responded respectfully on her face: "The slave and maid know, the girl can rest assured." ”
After a pause, he added: "Mama Niu was not in the house at the time, Cai Wei had a face in front of the girl, and the mother who was executing the sentence deliberately spared her, but she just put a few boards lightly, and just gave an explanation to Mrs. It's heavy, but I'm afraid that the girl will be sad, and the lady may not be happy. ”
Feng Shujia nodded, and did not pursue the "dereliction of duty" of the mother who was sentenced.
Most of the subordinates of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion are loyal to the rules and can understand the feelings of the master, and in this regard, the Bai family has indeed done a very successful job.
"I have something to ask you to do. Feng Shujia glanced around, lowered her voice and ordered, "You have been staring at the Wind Lotus Courtyard for the past few days, and if there is any change, come and tell me." ”
Cai Lu was shocked again, stalking this kind of thing, it doesn't seem like a girl would do it, the girl has always been "straightforward and frank" to make people worry.
What's more, it is still Miss Ying, who the girl has always been convinced, to keep an eye on.
Miss Ying has excellent rules, although she is a little childish because she was born in the countryside, but she is humble and generous, and she is very liked by the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
However, the affairs of the masters are not something she can inquire about at will, and after Cai Lu was slightly stunned, she immediately nodded solemnly and promised.
"Also, don't let your mother know about it. Feng Shujia instructed again.
"The slave knows that the slave will be careful. Cai Lu assured.
Feng Shujia was surprised to see Cailu, but she kept her duty and didn't ask anything, and she was very satisfied.
However, for the reason, she still plans to talk to Cailu, lest Cailu don't know anything and be at a loss to do things.
"When I mentioned Nakayama Boshizi today, my mother seemed very unhappy. But Sister Ying seems to be very familiar with Zhongshan Boshizi...... I was worried that something would happen and make my mother angry. Feng Shujia found a ready-made excuse.
When Feng Shujia said those words, Cai Lu was also on the side, and she could naturally see Bai's reaction clearly, and it suddenly became clear when she heard the words: it turned out that the girl asked her to supervise Miss Ying, all because she was afraid that her wife would be angry.
That's right, children, always worry that their parents will be angry.
Cailu's doubts disappeared suddenly, and she responded with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, the slave knows what to do." ”
Feng Shujia nodded, and asked again: "Aunt Lamei always stopped me from talking today, worried that I would make my mother angry." But I always made my mother angry...... Do you know why Aunt Lamei stopped me this time?"
She has been hanging this matter in her heart, but Lamei is very busy, and she always accompanies her mother when she comes to Zhihe Courtyard, she can't ask even if she wants to, so she can only start from Cailu.
Cai Lu thought seriously for a while, shook her head, and replied, "This slave doesn't know. The things in the Summer Palace are related to the lady's anger and anger, but I'm afraid it's not easy to inquire. ”
The Bai family treats people generously, but the family is very strict, and they will definitely not be spared when they talk about spreading the master's affairs behind their backs.
Cai Lu saw Feng Shujia's face was sorrowful, so she came up with an idea: "Why don't you ask Madame directly? Madame loves the girl so much, and she will definitely be very happy to know that the girl cares about her!"
Feng Shujia shook her head and sighed, "Forget it." Aunt Lamei didn't say it at the time, it must be because this matter is difficult to say......
Cai Lu was shocked again, when did the girl be so considerate of others, it was really rare.
However, it is always good for them for the girls to become charitable and considerate!
"Since it is inconvenient for Madame to say it now, it is useless for the girl to be worried. It's better to take good care of your body first, so as not to worry your wife. Cai Lu persuaded him.
Feng Shujia nodded, obediently retracted into the quilt, and closed her eyes.
Cai Lu smiled, put down the curtain, extinguished the candle, and quietly withdrew.
Feng Shujia's eyes, which were originally closed, opened them as soon as the candlelight went out.
She couldn't sleep.
How was she able to sleep!
She was afraid to wake up, and when she opened her eyes, she found that it was nothing more than a dream, a dream that she had been having for the rest of her life.
The night was as cold as water, Feng Shujia stared at the little starlight that came out of the window in a daze, and stayed up until dawn, when she was extremely tired and fell asleep.
This sleep, and I slept until the end of the night.
The heat of noon has disappeared, and the autumn breeze has entered the house with a slight coolness, bringing a bit of crisp chrysanthemum fragrance.
Feng Shujia woke up from her dream and let out an exclamation.
Cai Lu, who was napping outside, suddenly came to her senses, ran into the inner room quickly, and asked urgently while lifting the tent, "Girl, what's wrong?"
Before he finished speaking, his arms were tightly grasped by Feng Shujia.
Cai Lu looked at Feng Shujia, who was frightened and dripping with cold sweat, and didn't dare to move, so she let her clasp her arms fiercely, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... Is it ankle discomfort?"
Feng Shujia shook her head, feeling the warm body under her hands, gradually calmed down, and whispered: "I had a nightmare......
I dreamed that her parents and younger brother were lying in a pool of blood, and the bright red blood splashed her face, and in her hand, she was holding a sharp knife dripping blood......
But it wasn't a dream, in her previous life, it was her ignorance that pushed her family to death step by step.
The fear and remorse in that tone were so deep that they couldn't be dissolved, which made Cai Lu feel frightened, what kind of nightmare was this......
"Don't be afraid, it's just a nightmare. Cai Lu sighed secretly, patted Feng Shujia's arm, and comforted softly.
It took a long time for the rapid breathing to gradually stabilize down.
