Chapter 80: Present in the Presence of Men
Chapter 80 is before the people
Madam Gong frowned: Why is he here?
With the sound of a light cough, Gong Baixi walked slowly, it was only a dozen steps away, but he walked a full stick of incense. He came to the palace master and gasped: "The child has seen his father and mother. ”
He said a word intermittently, and he didn't pay any attention to the eyes of the people around him. Even Aunt Liu, who was still sad just now, looked at him curiously.
This eldest young master rarely appears in front of people, but today for some reason, he actually came to join in the fun.
"You kid, you've never been in good health, what are you doing on such a cold day?" Madame Gong was disgusted, and her tone was quite caring.
Gong Baixi smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Thank you for your mother's care, child." ”
"Since I know that I care about you, I should be obedient!" The palace master looked at his son who was thinly dressed and had explicit marketing, and said something inconsistent in his heart.
"My son knows." Miyashiaki kept his head down, if he wasn't still standing, almost no one would have noticed his presence.
"yes, let's go back and rest." Mrs. Gong said.
"Hmm." The palace master snorted, only to find that there was no one around his son to follow, and he said with some reproach: "What about the people who serve you?" Where did they all die? ”
Mrs. Gong's eyebrows were tightly locked, and her tone was extremely gentle: "It's because the concubine doesn't take care of herself, and I will assign a few more people to the eldest young master tomorrow." ”
Master Gong's tone was better, he didn't want to see this son, others dared to bully him, no matter how much he was a person with his blood, and his son was so thin and weak, his face was not good, and the illness tortured him to the point that he was not human, and Master Gong thought that he was distressed for a while.
Gong Baixi smiled bitterly: "The child is grateful for the kindness of his father and mother, but the child lingers on the sickbed, and there will never be so many people." And the child is used to using those few, and after changing them for a while, he feels uncomfortable. ”
The old man of the palace bowed his head, and somehow remembered his biological mother, the woman who was always submissive to him, and the son she gave birth to was as indisputable as her. So he said: "It's okay to save more people, and it will bother you." ”
"Yes." Gong Baixi stood respectfully and said, "The child didn't mean to disturb, but in the middle of the night, his heart and lungs were itching, and he suddenly heard a voice outside, so he came to take a look." And then there's ......"
"Is it that the child wakes up and doesn't see the scholar, but he doesn't know what crime he has committed and wants to be tied up by five flowers?" He pointed to the man bound on the ground.
Only then did the man raise his head and shout, "Young master, save me!" ”
"What do you say? He's your scholar? Master Gong asked again in disbelief, and the beard at the corner of his mouth twitched.
Gong Baixi opened his flawless eyes and said blankly: "Yes, he is a child's scholar, called Xiaozhu." ”
The palace master is an official in the court, and the education of his children and nephews is relatively strict. On weekdays, in order to supervise study, every young master of the Gong family is equipped with a scholar, even Gong Baixi, a sick man.
"Today's child is in a state of turmoil, I didn't let him accompany him to study, but the old mother was not happy these two days, and the child couldn't find anyone for a while, so I wanted him to accompany me as a companion, who knew that I called him everywhere, and I didn't see him coming, and I didn't think that I was here.
Master Gong said: "Of course he is not here, because he is a wolf with ambition!" ”
Xiaozhu kowtowed to the ground and shouted aggrievedly.
"Quick, he intends to be unfavorable to the master, hurry up and stop him!" Mrs. Gong said busily.
"Young master, the little one is wronged! The little ones are wronged! The little ones didn't have a private meeting with anyone! Xiaozhu called again and again, he struggled to break free from the restraints on his body, only to hear the ding-dong dong, and several things fell from him one after another, all of which were agate jade.
Aunt Liu shouted: "Isn't this your snuffbox, master?" And Madame's jade bracelet! ”
Gong Baixi seemed to understand something in an instant, and shouted: "Bold Diao slave! What do you want, don't you really invite it! He was anxious and angry, ashamed and annoyed, and he couldn't hold back his breath and almost fainted.
Master Gong also noticed that something was wrong, and said, "Yes, if you confess, maybe you can save your life." ”
Snuff bottles and agate bracelets were previously broken and glued, and were worthless. Sometimes the main house breaks things, and it is not uncommon for them to be glued together on a whim, and then they are disgusted within three or five days. The servants are rare, and they are quietly kept privately, and the main family has turned a blind eye, and I haven't heard that the people are convicted of breaking the abandoned things, and the palace lord said carelessly, but in fact, he knocked on the mountain and shook the tiger.
Xiaozhu kowtowed again and again, snot and tears: "The little one doesn't dare to deceive the master, the little one is the eldest young master's scholar, since he was sold to the palace family, he has served the eldest young master wholeheartedly, and he never dares to disobey." The eldest young master is sick all year round, and even if the lady takes care of him a lot, it is inevitable that there will be negligence. Who in the mansion didn't see the wind and steer, and when they saw that our eldest young master was not favored by the master, they all snubbed him in a different way. Sometimes it should be the eldest young master's things, and he also said that he would have to wait. It is common to detain cloth and silver. It is said that the body of the eldest young master should be raised, but when we went to the kitchen to get supplements, we were either short of catties or two, or low-class goods. The little one is the next person, and he doesn't care if he is wronged, but the eldest young master is different! After returning to his hometown from the grandmother who served, except for the little one, he was a deaf and dumb grandmother who served the eldest young master. Sometimes the eldest young master drank bitter medicine and wanted to eat a candied fruit, but he couldn't take out the extra money to buy it. The little one really felt sorry for the young master, and he didn't want the young master to know these things sadly, so he thought about getting some things and quietly taking them outside to sell them, so that he could make up for them. ”
At the end, the gambling curse swore: "Everything is a small self-inflicted opinion, and the eldest young master doesn't know it at all!" If he hadn't been caught tonight, the little one would have to hide it from the eldest young master. ”
Master Gong's voice came unhurriedly: "But why did you sell it late at night?" ”
"The eldest young master is not in good health, nine times out of ten he is resting on the bed, the little one is waiting for the eldest young master to fall asleep, so he went around to inquire about the news, once overheard Aunt Liu say that the old man broke a snuffbox, and saw that the lady's grandmother lost some bits and pieces. The small one took advantage of no one to see it, and quietly picked it up, although it was broken and glued, it was not worth a few dollars, and there was always some place to save it, and if the eldest young master wanted to buy something he liked in the future, there was also money to be taken in. ”
"Then how do you explain it, Aunt Liu's colored spikes."
Xiao Zhu's eyes widened: "The small one was picked up by accident, and I didn't know it was so valuable." The small one thought it was the same thing as the broken snuffbox, but if he knew that it was Aunt Liu's thing, the small one would have the courage to steal it blatantly! ”
Aunt Liu looked at the palace master with teary eyes: "The concubine is trying to report to the lord, the bag on this colorful spike is filled with some dried flowers and hay, and the concubine is afraid that it will not be good for the child in her belly, so she will let people put it away, how can it be here?" ”
The palace lord's inquiring gaze looked towards the palace lady from a distance.
