Chapter 128: Illness Comes
After Wang Qilang left, Cheng Jianniang's courtyard returned to quiet.
Jin Ge'er continued to feed the fish, and after the busy kitchen was over, Banqin held tea and entered the hall.
Cheng Jianniang put down the book in her hand.
"Lady." Banqin hesitated for a long time and asked, "Are we going back?" ”
Cheng Jianniang nodded.
"Is it because you've been in the capital for a long time?" Banqin asked.
Cheng Jianniang looked at her, smiled slightly, and nodded.
Banqin smiled too, took a few steps forward, and picked up the teaglass.
Cheng Jianniang stretched out her hand to take it.
The autumn breeze passed through the hall, and the clanging sound of the wind duo hanging by the window. [Note 1]
"Then, lady, do you really want to marry the prince of the Wang family?" She hesitated and asked.
"Banqin, what do you think I'm missing the most now?" Cheng Jianniang did not answer, but asked.
Ask her questions?
She's the least likely to think about it...
Banqin was a little restrained, biting her lower lip and thinking about it seriously.
Lang Jun is gone, the most annoying but occasionally able to maintain their Saturday Lang is also gone, Master Zhou's family is respectful but not close...
"Lack of people." Banqin said tentatively.
Cheng Jianniang nodded.
"Lack of people, lack of a home." She said, stretching out her hand.
Relatives are never close, and having a home is equal to not having one.
Banqin nodded.
However, can the son of the Wang family really give his mother a home?
Cheng Jianniang smiled.
"I want a home that can be broken and reunited with my heart." She said. The outstretched hand was shaken. "This home. Not just a family, but a family with deep roots, a family that can be used by me, he is very suitable. ”
Banqin seems to understand whether she understands or not, but she is relieved to know that the decision of the lady is not a grievance, but a benefit.
"Where the lady is, it is the maid's home." She nodded.
Cheng Jianniang smiled and didn't speak. Put down the bowl and pick up the book.
Banqin lightly packed up the tea bowl and retreated.
When Chen Shao and his wife visited, it was nearly evening.
This is the first time that the couple has come to the door, and in the past, Chen Bainiang and Chen Danniang were in contact with each other, so this made the maid very surprised, and she was busy asking Jin Ge'er to invite her, and at the same time telling Cheng Jianniang.
Mrs. Chen Shao did not sit in the hall, but held Chen Danniang's hand with a smile.
"Danniang said that there is a place for archery here, let's go and see." She said.
Is this to be avoided? The handmaid got up hurriedly.
"Madame, come with me." She smiled, leaving half a celery to hold tea. led Mrs. Chen Shao and Danniang to the backyard.
Chen Shao and Cheng Jianniang were left in the room, and Banqin pushed the tea. So he withdrew to the door and sat down on his knees.
"That's right, before and after inviting the lady, we will send someone to Bingzhou to inquire about your past." Chen Shao said straight to the point, "I hope the lady will forgive me." ”
"That's as it should be." Cheng Jianniang said, "Even if I have the opportunity, I have to inquire about it." ”
She said this and looked at Chen Shao.
"My lord, did you find anything?" She asked.
Chen Shao took out a letter and pushed it over.
"This is a letter from someone who may be your master." He said.
Regarding the things that the Chen family has always thought that someone cured her and taught her, Cheng Jianniang knew and did not correct it, after all, she didn't believe that anyone could have these incredible skills out of thin air, but at the same time, she also had doubts in her heart, because Banqin, who had been following her, did not have this memory.
At this time, Chen Shao really found such a person, and brought the letter, she couldn't help but be stunned.
She didn't have any memories before she recovered from her illness, could such a person really exist? Was it really this person who cured her? And gave her these messy memories in her head?
Banqin was also surprised.
"What kind of person is it?" She couldn't help but ask.
"He is a scholar in his 40s, who once settled near the Taoist temple, taught children to read and write, lived with the help of the villagers' funding, and also knew some medical skills, and gave the villagers medical treatment and medicine." Chen Shao said.
Cheng Jianniang looked at Banqin.
"Yes, there is such a person, everyone calls him Lu Xiucai." Banqin seemed to think of it, and said a little suddenly, with a bit of reminiscence, "Oh yes, my mother's illness is still the medicine he collected..."
Lu Xiucai? Cheng Jianniang does not have this person in her memory.
"Did he heal me?" She asked.
Chen Shao also looked at this girl.
"No, he's not a local, so he came after his nurse got sick." Banqin shook her head, "I have only been to the Taoist temple once or twice, all for the nurse to treat the disease, and then the nurse's illness could not be cured, he did not come, after the nurse passed away, I did not see him again, but I stayed for more than a year, and did not treat the lady." ”
No?
In the end, this girl was serving closely, and she even said that she hadn't had much contact with this person, Chen Shao was a little surprised, and looked at Cheng Jianniang.
"Or, I don't know." Banqin hurriedly said, "When he saw the nurse, the lady was also in the yard, perhaps, when he saw the nurse, he told the nurse how to use the medicine." ”
said here with a little self-blame.
"At the beginning, it was the wet nurse who took care of you, and you used it for food and drink, and the maid didn't help much." She said.
Cheng Jianniang shook her head, didn't speak again, stretched out her hand to take the letter, her eyes fell on it, and she hesitated for a moment.
Will there be any memories of her loss?
"Then I will leave, and I will not investigate the affairs of the lady in the future, please rest assured." Chen Shao said, getting up and saying goodbye.
Cheng Jianniang returned the gift.
The maidservant sent Chen Shao and his wife around, and saw that Cheng Jianniang was still sitting in the hall, holding a letter in her hand.
"What is it?" She didn't know what to do, so she asked Banqin.
"Master Chen said yes, the lady's master gave her a letter." Banqin said.
The maid's eyes widened.
"Lady's master?" She asked.
"I don't know what to do..."Banqin said with a puzzled face, "Anyway, someone asked Lord Chen to hand it over to the lady." ”
The maidservant sighed, and both looked into the hall.
The lady in the hall stretched out her hand and opened the letter.
A piece of stationery unfolded, with only three words on it.
Who are you.
Who am I? Who am I?
Cheng Jianniang looked at this piece of letterhead, only to feel like a puddle of stagnant water exploded in her head.
"Lady, do you want to add tea?"
The maidservant girl came in and said with a smile, looking at Cheng Jianniang, who had lowered her head and read the letter for a while.
"Would you like to try the new dim sum?"
Banqin also asked.
"What new snacks did you make?" The maidservant asked curiously, "Don't be weird and can't eat it, right?" ”
"Sister, how could it be!" Banqin argued, "What's weird? ”
The handmaid covered her mouth and smiled.
"Lady, did you say that the dim sum she made last time was weird?" She asked, looking at Cheng Jianniang.
Cheng Jianniang raised her head and looked at them.
"Who am I?" She said.
The maidservant and Banqin were stunned.
"Huh?" They asked, puzzled.
"Who am I?" Cheng Jianniang asked again.
Who am I?
The handmaid and Banqin were stunned, what does this mean?
As soon as they were about to speak, they saw the woman in front of them roll her eyes, and she fell straight down.
The screams of the women in the house pierced the courtyard.
…………………
"What's going on?" Mrs. Zhou asked anxiously, looking at Master Zhou who was walking out.
"Said he was sick." Master Zhou said, changing into clothes for going out.
"Why did you get sick?" Mrs. Zhou asked, "She herself is a miracle doctor, how could she suddenly fall ill?" ”
"After saying that Chen Xianggong came to visit, he fainted." Master Zhou said.
"Chen Xianggong!" Mrs. Zhou shouted and stood up, "It can't be someone seeking revenge, right?" ”
"What revenge?" Master Zhou frowned and shouted.
"What revenge? Others don't know, but we know it in our own hearts! What did you and the woman mumble about in the previous paragraph? Isn't it because of those deserters? I've heard that the deserter was used by Lord Chen to accuse the Northwest Military Affairs, but as a result, the deserter was released, and everyone said that Lord Chen suffered a big loss this time. Mrs. Zhou said hurriedly.
Master Zhou looked stunned, although this matter could not hinder the affairs of the woman in the house, and he had never told Mrs. Zhou, but they also had their own sources of inquiry.
Although he didn't know what was going on in the end, he saw that the deserters were released, and he knew that Lu Dao must be his niece and what tricks he played in it.
This time, Chen Xianggong really suffered some losses.
Could it be that he really came to the door to ask for the sin?
Master Zhou's footsteps hesitated.
If it's true, then how sure is she that she will kill Chen Xianggong?
Immediately, Master Zhou shivered and slapped his leg fiercely.
My mother, what is he thinking!
"I'll go see how it goes." Master Zhou said that he was busy going out.
