Chapter 54: Returning Home
PS: The second more ~~~
The carriage stopped at the gate of the original Wen Mansion, a few months, but it was already a thing or a person, looking at the original pink wall Zhumen, Wen Qiran couldn't help but sigh in his heart, an uninhabited home can't be called a home at all, the door is closed, there is no small house to report, and no wife is waiting, how can there be a little bit of going home.
"Master, go in and rest." Mrs. Ping took Wen Qiran's arm and said.
"Hmm."
The door suddenly opened, and a gorgeously dressed woman walked out surrounded by several handmaidens, which was not quite what Wen Jing had imagined, Wen Jing thought that this Mrs. Wen must be a very shrewd woman, but at first glance, this Mrs. Wen looked like a kind woman, and her smile was gentle like a spring breeze.
"Master, you can count it back, come in and rest, I have ordered someone to clean the house spotlessly, and lunch has been prepared." Mrs. Wen said and walked towards Wen Qiran.
Wen Qiran's face changed, and with a wave of his sleeve, he walked straight in, as if he didn't see Mrs. Wen.
However, Wen Shilang didn't see his mother for a long time, so he rushed over from afar, and Mrs. Wen just hugged him, and asked the housekeeper to take him to the bath and change clothes.
Mrs. Ping hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "My sister is well-informed, she arrived home a few steps earlier than us, and she lives close to us." ”
"It should." Mrs. Wen smiled slightly, but she was not angry, and walked in behind Wen Qiran.
A woman in a lilac dress followed Mrs. Wen and quietly walked to Wen Jing's side.
"Seventh sister, you're back, you want to mess with me."
Wen Jing looked up at the sweet-looking woman in front of her. Qiaoxiao is dignified and cute, and her smile is sweet. A name automatically flashed in his mind, Wen Jiuniang. It turned out that she was Wen Jiuniang, who had the best relationship with Wen Qiniang in the past, but why did she feel very disgusted when she saw Wen Jiuniang for the first time.
"How is Jiu Niang lately?" Wen Jing said with a smile.
"It's not good, my uncle's sisters are bullying me." Wen Jiuniang gagged and said, "But I see that the seventh sister is much better, but what kind of pill did she take?" ”
"That's not true, maybe the air in the countryside is good, the mood is comfortable, and the illness is getting better." Wen Jing smiled.
"That's very good. I remember the illness of the seventh sister every day at my uncle's house, and pray for the seventh sister in front of the Bodhisattva every day. Wen Jiuniang wiped the corners of her eyes after speaking.
Wen Jing felt sick to her stomach for a while, does her health have anything to do with her? The contrived can be so natural, this acting is really good.
"Thinking about it, I also said why this body suddenly got better, it turned out that I was sincerely moved by Jiu Niang, Jiu Niang. Thank you so much. Wen Jing grabbed Wen Jiuniang's hand and said.
"That's what my sister should do." Wen Jiuniang held Wen Jing's hand back.
Wenfu is not big, just a three-entry courtyard, after all, it is the capital.
During meals, men and women are still at separate tables.
Mrs. Wen glanced at Wen Jing. Xin Dao, this sick seedling, not only did not die on the road, but his complexion was a little better than before.
"Qi Niang is weak, eat more." Mrs. Wen picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Wen Jing's bowl.
"Thank you, Mother. Qi Niang bothered her mother. Wen Jing was moved.
"My sister went early, as it should have been. In the past, my sister treated me a little closer than my own sister. Mrs. Wen said with a little sadness.
"Mother, don't be sad. My mother will be grateful to my mother if she is knowledgeable. Wen Jing comforted.
"Mother is so compassionate." Wen Wuniang also wiped the corners of her eyes.
Wen Jiuniang looked at the head buried in eating, and glanced at Wen Jing out of the corner of her eye.
Finish lunch.
Mrs. Wen said: "In the past, most of the maids in the house were sold, but now there are not enough people, so I bought some back, and now it is not as good as before, and the food and clothing are tighter. ”
Mrs. Wen looked at Wen Jing and said, "Qi Niang, you pick first." ”
Wen Jiuniang and Wen Wuniang glanced at Wen Jing, Wen Jing answered, and glanced at a few handmaidens standing in the middle of the courtyard.
These maids are all handsome, tall, short, fat and thin, and one of them looks very familiar.
"Seven Ladies." A handmaiden whispered to Wen Jing and looked at her with earnest eyes.
Wen Jing looked familiar, and couldn't remember the name of the handmaiden for a while.
"I'm Mingyin." The maid said in a hurry.
The name Ming Yin seemed very familiar, and Wen Jing suddenly remembered that this handmaid should be the first-class maid in her room in the past.
Ming Yin looked at Wen Jing expectantly, Wen Jing has always treated them well, and Wen Jing is a concubine, and she has always had better food and clothing than other rooms, and it would be better if she could continue to follow Wen Jing.
"What's your name?" Wen Jing looked at a handmaid with a big pie face next to him and said, this maid.
"Slave Aoyagi." The black maid said.
"Will you follow me?" Wen Jing said.
The maid nodded and said, "The slave is willing." ”
Ming Yin was startled, and there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Everyone couldn't quite understand why Wen Jing picked a maid Aoyagi who seemed to be the most useless.
Wen Jing took Qingliu to the side, waiting for others to pick the handmaiden, everyone also picked their favorite handmaiden, that Mingyin was picked by Wen Wuniang, Wen Jiuniang didn't pick it, just waited for everyone to finish picking, and the last one left was given to her.
After selecting the personal maid, the second-class maid was assigned by Mrs. Wen.
"Zhou's mother is old, it is not suitable to work too much, and she receives silver as usual every month, and from today on, the new housekeeper mother He will be responsible for everyone's diet and daily life." Mrs. Wen pointed to an old woman beside her.
"Yes, Mother."
Wen Jing glanced at the old woman, it seemed that the future days would not be so boring.
And they took their maidservants back to their chambers. Sanniang and Wuniang live in the same courtyard, Baniang and Jiuniang live in the same courtyard, and Wen Jing has been living in the same yard by herself because she is a concubine.
Back in the house, Wen Jing glanced Qingliu up and down, and said, "You reminded me before, be careful of Mrs. Wen, but is there such a thing?" ”
Aoyagi nodded.
"It's a pity that I treated you as a wicked person at that time and punished you a beating." Wen Jing smiled bitterly, he didn't take this ugly girl in his eyes at that time, but he didn't expect that she would stay in the mansion all the time, and when he saw her, he remembered many things in the past.
"Will you help me?" Wen Jing continued to ask.
"The slave and maid are willing, the slave and maid have been staying in the house, that is, waiting for the day when the seventh lady wakes up, the slave and maid's life is saved by the lady, it is the lady's, and it is also the seventh lady." Aoyagi said in a rough voice.
It turned out that her mother was saved before her death, Wen Jing sighed, her mother's vision was far better than Wen Qiniang in the past, and she was left with a way back when she was dying, and she couldn't help but admire the ancestor in her heart. (To be continued......)
