Chapter Twenty-Eight: Farewell Without Saying Goodbye
After Doudou returned home, he went directly to the old lady's yard, and after saying goodbye to his grandmother, he briefly mentioned the accident on the street today.
Of course, if you are at the scene of the incident, you must not say it to scare your grandmother.
Rao is like this, the old lady was still startled after hearing it, pulled Doudou into her arms and rubbed it for a while, and repeatedly advised: "Fortunately, my sister Yuan is blessed, and it is better to go to such a crowded place less in the future." β
Doudou cried silently in his heart, his blessing was really great......
She didn't want to dwell on this issue, so she leaned on the old lady's arms and said coquettishly: "Yuan'er remembers." Then he told him about his encounter with Gongsun Mo.
The old lady shook her hand and said, "Gongsun Gongzi has come to Qingzhou Mansion?"
Doudou nodded and said, "Well, I wanted to invite him directly to the house, but Brother Gongsun said that it seemed presumptuous to come to the mansion suddenly, so I made an appointment with him to meet him at the Furui Inn early tomorrow morning." β
The old lady sighed and said: "This kid is too well-behaved, it's just that you are a girl's family how to come forward in person, let Xie Fu take a few people early tomorrow morning." β
Doudou naturally wouldn't go against his grandmother in such a thing, and responded with a smile.
Today was her birthday, and the old lady called someone to take out the jewelry box that had been prepared and handed it to Doudou: "Let's see if I like it." Twelve is also a big girl, and you can wear some slightly luxurious jewelry, although you don't lack it, but those styles always look childish. β
Doudou knew that this was his grandmother's intention and could not refuse, so after thanking him, he generously opened the box and tried to show it to the old lady.
The atmosphere in the old lady's yard is warm, but the maids in Doudou Ju have long been eager to wear it.
There is no big deal in the house for the twelfth birthday of his own girl, and in the maids, especially Zhujun Lanyun, who is about to get married, they can't just mix it up, maybe this is the last time the two of them celebrate the girl's birthday.
The two of them took the lead, and the rest responded, and the maids made up a dozen taels of silver, and asked the mother-in-law in the small kitchen to tidy up a table of decent dishes and a lot of fresh fruits for them, and waited for the girl to return home to make a scene for her.
Although the night was already deep, they were still waiting, and no one had any intention of giving up.
After all, even if it is the eighth day of the seventh month, it will no longer be the girl's birthday.
Fortunately, Doudou finally lived up to their wishes and accepted the blessings of the maids at the last moment on the seventh day of the seventh month.
The day of his twelfth birthday was extremely colorful, and he overslept on the second day.
She never got up more than midnight, and she didn't wake up hungry until noon.
"Picking green and mulberryβ" She rubbed her hazy eyes and called out loudly.
The two maids really knew their masters too well, one carrying hot water, the other carrying a food box, and walked in with a smile.
Cai Sang preemptively said: "Girl, if you see if Cai Qing and I are very attentive, you know that you will be woken up hungry as soon as possible, so you will prepare hot water and food for a while." β
Cai Qing glared at her: "Just your little hooves and mouth, why don't you hurry up and send hot water to the clean room to wait for the girl to wash, there are still guests coming today, don't dare to delay." β
With her reminder, Doudou remembered that she had to deal with the big trouble of the sao bag man today, so she quickly jumped out of bed and ran into the clean room.
After washing up and eating, Cai Qing and Cai Sang combed her hair and changed her clothes, and after packing up the master and servant, the three of them walked towards the old lady's courtyard.
The old lady's courtyard was as quiet as usual, and there was no sign of guests coming to visit, Doudou's heart tightened, could it be that the big trouble went to visit his mother directly after seeing his grandmother?
That's bad, my mother is confused and shrewd in big things, once she realizes the affection of the sao Bao man for her sister, it's strange if she doesn't pull him off a layer of skin!
Thinking of this, she hurriedly trotted into the main house.
The old lady had just had lunch, and because the weather was too hot, she let a little maid fan on the bamboo couch, and she was almost asleep.
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, she raised her eyelids slightly, and when she saw that it was Doudou, she smiled and said, "Sister Yuan, did you make a fuss last night, and then hurriedly came to say goodbye to your grandmother at such a time?"
Doudou took the little girl's fan and shook it gently, and said embarrassedly: "It was Zhujun who set up a birthday banquet for me, so I slept late and woke up late." β
The old lady was slapped comfortably by her, and closed her eyes again.
Doudou is a little strange, why didn't grandmother mention the matter of the man at all, could something have gone wrong?
She couldn't help but ask, "Grandmother, brother Gongsun ......"
The old lady said: "I told you Uncle Xie Fu to pick up people at the Furui Inn early this morning, and he hasn't come back yet." β
Doudou is even more anxious: "Although the Furui Inn is in a different direction from our home, Qingzhou City is such a big place, and you can go back and forth in an hour, what's going on?"
The old lady smiled: "Sister Yuan, don't worry, your Uncle Xie Fu is reliable, there must be something delayed." Besides, your grandson is not a girl, are you still afraid that he will be robbed?"
The old lady was kind enough to appease Doudou, but who knew that these words were poking at her heart.
The sassy bag man shouldn't have been robbed again, right?
Doudou's little face wrinkled into a bun, grandmother only knew that the girl would be abducted when she went out, who would have thought that once a man had a sassy constitution, it would be easy to be harmed!
But how dare she say these words to her grandmother, so she had to respond softly.
After another half an hour, Xie Fu finally came back, only to see him with a tired face, but only his daughter-in-law was followed behind him, where was there any Gongsun Mo.
The old lady asked anxiously, "Xiaofuzi, where is Gongsun Gongzi?"
Xie Fu wiped his sweat and said: "Back to the old lady's words, the slave rushed to the Tianzi room of the Furui Inn early in the morning, there was no one in it, the little second brother said that there was no one in the room last night, but he never saw anyone go to check out of the room, fortunately, the Tianzi room was settled by the people of the four princes yesterday, so their shopkeeper did not hold him responsible." β
Doudou hurriedly said: "Last night, what did Gongsun Mo mean, don't play with me without telling me!"
Xie Fu then replied: "The slave is not at ease, I am afraid that Gongsun Gongzi is too late to inform our house because of an emergency, so I searched carefully in the house, but there is still no half a piece of paper." β
The old lady was even more anxious: "Then is something wrong with him?" Let's quickly send someone out to find out. β
Xie Fu soothed: "The slave has already gone to the prefect's yamen to prepare the case in person, and the prefect Ye has promised to send someone to help find it as much as possible." What's more, the slave felt that Gongsun Gongzi was not a child, and he didn't have any sensitive identity, and the house was also very neat that day, so he probably left in a hurry. Please don't worry, old lady. β
The old lady's heart calmed down a little: "That's fine, after all, it's a benefactor's child, and we can't say anything if something happens under our noses." β
Doudou is simply one head and two big, grandmother thinks that the man is a man and will not have an accident, and Uncle Xie Fu thinks that the boy is not a child and will not have an accident, but in fact?
Yuan Er, who never believed in Buddhism, recited the Buddha in her heart for the first time, and asked the Buddha to bless the sao Bao man not to provoke a female demon like Yuwen Siqing again, and bless him to be safe! )
