Chapter XXII
Five days later, the decree arrived......
On this day, Li Yunbao was eating morning food with An Ge'er in the corner, and after a commotion outside, a eunuch came to deliver the decree. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They first went to the men's prison, and then they went to the women's prison to deliver the decree.
Li Yunbao knelt on the ground with An Ge'er, listening to the will of the above text, which roughly meant that your Weiguo Mansion was involved in the prince's rebellion case, but it was found that it was not the mastermind of the prince's case, and the prince and the princess did not know about it. The iron coupons of the Danshu of the Weiguo Mansion were recovered, all the family property was confiscated, and all the meritorious names of the men were forfeited.
At this moment, the people who still had hope couldn't help crying, and they couldn't accept this fact. Especially the sister-in-law Liao Min, after the eunuch left, she took out a hidden jade pendant and asked the jailer to pass a message to her mother's family, she didn't give up.
It's a pity that if her mother's family could really manage her, they wouldn't have seen any movement until now.
After dinner, when Ma Sanniang and a group of people came to change shifts, they called Li Yunbao out alone.
"Come with me, ma'am, someone has come to visit you." Ma Sanniang called out Li Yunbao and whispered to her.
Li Yunbao carried An Ge'er through the long corridor of the cell, came to the dark hall, went up the high stone stairs, and followed Ma Sanniang to the bright room where the female jailer on the right was resting when she was just released from prison.
"I've branched out of my people, madam, come in, there's someone waiting for you. I'll let you know when someone comes, so rest assured I'll be at the door. Ma Sanniang said earnestly as she pushed open the door.
After Li Yunbao walked in, he turned around and closed the door, and the people inside rushed over when they saw Li Yunbao entering the door, and hugged Li Yunbao, "My son, I'm sorry for you, woo woo woo." ”
"Aunt Mei, don't cry, you see that Brother An'er is still there, be careful that the child laughs at you." Li Yunbao stroked the other party's vest and comforted.
"Look at me, okay, I won't cry anymore, hurry up and put Brother An down, look, I brought you something, you quickly bring some pastries for my brother to eat, this time my poor brother will also suffer a big sin." While talking, this person has a posture of wanting to cry again.
Li Yunbao took the child to sit at the table, took the pastries she handed over and gave them to Brother An'er for him to sit there and eat.
"Bao girl, don't blame your uncle for not coming to see you. Really, it was really after he got the news of your accident, he was bent on finding a relationship and preparing to intercede with the saint, although the matter was done, but the old prince sinned against the saint. She wiped the tears that had come down again.
"The saint is furious, your uncle Zhong was ordered to return to the northwest immediately, and your uncle Zhong has no way to ask me to stay and take care of you. But I'm incompetent, I can't help you ------ ------, baby girl, don't blame us for this useless uncle, woo woo woo. ”
Li Yunbao got up and walked in front of Lin Mei, took two steps back and knelt down with a pop, Lin Mei was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help, Li Yunbao refused and said, "Don't, Aunt Mei is not only for you, you have to bear it instead of my uncle." Without waiting for Lin Mei to express her position, she slammed her head three times in a row.
Lin Mei hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Yunbao get up, and then she heard her say, "Aunt Mei, I was ignorant before, so I bothered you. Now that I've figured it out, I can do anything else, but my child still has to rely on me, and being a mother is strong, you can rest assured that your baby girl has grown up and knows what to do and what not to do in the future. ”
"Okay, good, good, baby girl, I'm relieved to hear you say that. It's just that we can't help you with this trip to the far north. Auntie here prepared some pills and gold sore medicine for you, and now the cold weather is changing into this cotton jacket for your family of three, you are now in filial piety, the night of the house is a happy event, your clothes are not suitable to wear now, although it is to this but it can not be criticized. She instructed carefully.
"Thank you, Aunt Mei, it's hard for you to think about these for me, you are so careful, no wonder my loyal uncle can't leave you, hehe." Li Yunbao looked at Lin Mei, who was easy to cry, and quipped.
"Two, hurry up, I guess it's time for someone to come back." Ma Sanniang's voice came from outside the door.
Lin Mei was a little anxious when she heard this, so she hurriedly wrapped the things on the table again in the furoshi, and handed them to Li Yunbao in one go.
"Good boy, everything I prepared for you is here, you can go back and see it. And after this farewell, we don't know when we will be able to meet again, child, if you lack something over there, you ask someone to give your uncle and aunt a letter, we can't help with this, we can ask someone to send it to you, the child remembers. ”
As she spoke, she stepped forward to hug herself and cried again, crying and whispering in Li Yunbao's ear, "Bao girl, Auntie sewed four silver tickets of fifty taels in your padded jacket, remember to put them away." ”
At this time, the door opened, and Ma Sanniang walked in. "Mrs. Zhang, it's time to go." Li Yunbao hurriedly hugged Brother An and sent Lin Mei out.
Li Yunbao walked out with the other party, her tears couldn't help falling, she rudely wiped away the tears on her face with her right hand, and kept whispering to comfort herself, "Li Yunbao, you can do it, don't cry, be stronger." But in the face of other people's concern and the difficulties that are about to begin, she still can't help but shed tears. The two said goodbye reluctantly, until they watched each other's figures gradually disappear into the night.
"Sister Ma, can the concubine bother you?" Li Yunbao asked Ma Sanniang next to him. "What's the matter? But I will not postpone what I can do, ma'am. ”
Li Yunbao went into the house and took out the long cotton jacket and cotton shoes in the baggage and gave them to Ma Sanniang, "The concubine begged my sister to send this jacket to the male prison to the concubine's husband, Shen Xingnan, the third lang of the Shen family." Okay?"
"Okay, it's a trivial matter, don't worry, I'll send it to you in a while." Ma Sanniang replied cheerfully.
Li Yunbao tied up the baggage, picked up the baggage, picked up An Ge'er, and returned to the cell along the stone staircase. After coming back, he didn't pay attention to others, and went straight to tidy up things in the corner with Brother An.
Now it is the end of October in the capital, it is a little hot at noon but it is very cold in the morning and evening, regardless of himself and Brother An put on the cotton jacket and cotton shoes first, Li Yunbao took the opportunity to put the four silver tickets into the space. Then check the baggage, there are several medicine bottles containing Jinchuang Medicine, Po Chai Pills and other medicines that are labeled, a large bag of pastries, and a water bladder.
"Shen Xingnan, who is Shen Xingnan? Shen Xingnan came over. On the men's prison, Chen Ergou came to the cell where the man of the Shen family was and shouted.
"I am." Shen Xingnan got up and came to the fence in some surprise.
"Yo, it's you. Haha, this skin grows so well, no wonder your mother-in-law still cares about you so much now, boy, you are lucky. As he spoke, he handed him the long jacket and cotton shoes in his hand.
Shen Xingnan took the clothes and saw that Chen Ergou was leaving, so he hurriedly grabbed his clothes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "But my wife Li Yunbao asked you to send it?"
"I don't know if it's Li Yunbao, this is sent to me by Ma Sanniang at the end of the women's prison. However, the head of Nama Sanniang once served under the banner of the general of the Northwest Auxiliary State. Chen Ergou sniffed and replied.
"Thank you." Shen Xingnan opened his mouth and thanked Chen Ergou, stroked his clothes with both hands, and then hugged him tightly in his arms, burying his head in his clothes for a long time without lifting it.
Chen Ergou smacked his lips when he saw him like this, "These two have a really good relationship, haha." No, I have to go to Xiao Taohong at night. As he spoke, he hummed a little song and left.
