Chapter 26: The Masters of Man 2
Angel didn't argue with Aunt Li, so she had to rush out of the kitchen and go back to Jiaoxing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She walked through the courtyard and saw that the doors and windows were closed from a distance, and she didn't know if Jia Yucun was still in the house, so she didn't dare to push the door rashly. When he approached the house, there was a faint burst of laughter from inside the house, but it was Jia Yucun's voice. Then I heard Jiao Xing panting slightly and whispering.
Angel was originally an extremely intelligent woman, although she was not yet in the age of the golden hairpin, but recently she gradually became familiar with personnel. couldn't help blushing with shame, and a trace of grievance in his heart disappeared at this moment. Now I'm embarrassed to stay here, but I don't dare to go too far, for fear that Jiao Xing won't be around when she needs someone to call, so she only wanders around the nearby garden.
Although the flowers in the garden have not yet bloomed, the new leaves are full of life in the sun.
An Qi felt inexplicably empty in her heart, the oily green money bag she took out from her arms, and the index finger of her right hand couldn't help but stroke the word "Chen", secretly thinking: "After five years, Sister Jiao Xing can still meet the grandfather, which shows that there is a providence in the dark." But I don't know when this kind of fate can come to me? ”
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. An Qi hurriedly stuffed the money bag into her arms, looked up, and saw Jia Yucun striding out of the room and striding towards the study with a high spirit.
Angel stepped into the room.
At this time, Jiao Xing was sitting in front of the dresser, and Hanchun was combing her long hair with a smile.
Angel saw that the bedding on the couch was very messy, so she stepped forward and folded the bed neatly.
Jiao Xing said with a smile: "Sister Anqi, tomorrow is February 19th, let's go to the temple to burn incense." ”
An Qi turned around and asked with a smile, "Sister Jiaoxing, do you want to ask for a son?" ”
Jiao Xing scolded Anqi in the bronze mirror with a smile: "Little hoof, you are getting worse and worse!" ”
An Qi smiled: "Sister Jiaoxing, you are already a wife, are you still shy?" ”
Jiao Xing turned around and said coquettishly: "What else do you say?" How did you go for so long to eat? ”
Angel said stupidly: "Where did I go to eat!" They didn't even leave me a grain of rice. Aunt Li, who was in charge of the rice, said, Mrs. ordered, in the future, we will eat one after another, and send the dishes and chopsticks over together. ”
Jiao Xing stepped forward and grabbed An Qi's hand and comforted: "I really wronged you!" ”
Angel shook her head and smiled: "Don't be wronged." Eating one less meal is also not a big deal. I didn't ask them first. ”
Jiao Xing sighed and said, "They are simply trying to make things difficult. Although I have the love of the master, I am just a slave after all. They all looked at their wives' faces and acted, and our days will be difficult in the future. ”
An Qi said: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically." I believe that there will always be bitterness. ”
Jiao Xing nodded and smiled.
Mrs. Meng was depressed because she knew that Jia Yucun wanted to stay in Jiaoxing's room at night, so she went to bed early. Jiao Xing took An Qi to Dingxing, but Mrs. Meng was too lazy to deal with it, so she only let Ziling send it away.
The next day, Jia Yucun sent someone to arrange a sedan chair and send Jiao Xing to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.
Jiao Xing was unwell with Mrs. Meng, so she asked for a peace charm for her. As soon as he and Anqi left the temple gate, a group of beggars surrounded them to beg. Only to bluff Jiao Xing and An Qi took a few steps back.
Fortunately, one of the palanquin bearers stopped in time to stop the beggars.
Another palanquin driver turned back to Jiao Xing and said, "Auntie, don't be afraid. For these are poor and insane, and they deceive the compassion of the burners, and you ignore them. ”
Jiao Xing was frightened for a while. Only then did I see an old man in ragged clothes and a gray beard, and an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman holding her right arm was very familiar. couldn't help but pat Anqi on the shoulder and asked, "Anqi, who do you look like that person?" ”
Angel followed Jiao Xing's gaze. I saw that the woman had fluffy hair, a shabby red jacket on her upper body, a pair of navy blue trousers on her lower body, and a pair of embroidered shoes on her feet that were so dirty that she could see the color. The woman lowered her head, shook herself slowly, read something in her mouth, and suddenly smirked from time to time, like a crazy fool.
Angel unconsciously took two steps closer, buried her head and squinted upwards at the stupid girl, and couldn't help but be shocked, and exclaimed, "Bailan! ”
Jiao Xing took a step forward, her eyes were red, and she said, "It's really Bailan!" ”
Bai Lan still just shook her head and giggled, as if she hadn't heard her words at all.
The man holding Bai Lan was pleasantly surprised, and dragged her forward and said with a smile: "The two nobles know my daughter-in-law? It's really a bodhisattva manifestation, just give a little reward. With that, a pair of calloused right hands were stretched out.
Jiao Xing asked with red eyes, "Are you Wang Laosan?" ”
The man exclaimed, "Hey, do you know the villain? ”
Jiao Xing felt sad in her heart, and she didn't realize that she shed two tears for Bai Lan.
Angel hurriedly took the lead and said, "We used to be neighbors with Bai Lan. She's smart and clever, how did she become like this? ”
Wang Laosan sighed and said: "It was originally a sin created by our Wang family. My daughter-in-law accidentally fell on the day she got married, and she fell into a fool. At the beginning, the villain and the cheap man sold the farmland, and originally expected to ask a daughter-in-law to take care of their son. Now it's one more burden! The family had no livelihood, so they had to take their daughter-in-law into the city to beg. As he spoke, Wang Laosan couldn't help but burst into tears.
Jiao Xing lowered her head to wipe away her tears, took out ten taels of silver from her sleeve, and sent it to Wang Laosan's hand, saying, "I only have so much on me, you can take it." ”
Anqi took out all the taels of silver on his body and said, "This is all my savings...... That's all I can help! As he spoke, he handed it over to Wang Laosan.
Wang Laosan thanked him one after another, and dragged the stupid Bai Lan to kneel and kowtow to Jiao Xing and An Qi.
Jiao Xing hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, don't kneel anymore!" ”
The sedan chair man said, "Auntie, we should go back." ”
Jiao Xing took out a handkerchief, tucked away the tears in the corners of her eyes, and only turned around and got into the sedan chair.
Angel stood beside the sedan chair, walking side by side with the sedan chair, looking at Bai Lan. But seeing her shaking her head to herself, muttering to herself for a while, and giggling for a while. Angel couldn't help but cry bitterly.
"Although Sister Jiaoxing and I are now excluded by my wife and others in the house, at least we have food and clothing. Compared with Bailan, I don't know how much better. I don't know what the days of Bailan will be like in the future! ”
Angel thought as she hid her face and wept.
At this time, Jiao Xing's whimpering sound came from the sedan chair, and Angel felt more and more sad.
This part of the way home, Angel and Jiao Xing both felt that it was very long. The two of them could hear their own crying voices, but in addition to sadness, they were more helpless and guilty.
