Chapter 109: Save Aunt Lian
Seeing that Miss Cai Sang was actually crying, Cai Xiang Cai was suddenly frightened and at a loss!
Cai Sang cried out, and Cai Xiang's eyes were red. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cai Lian and Cai Bi couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them.
Cai Sang choked and hugged Le Yi, saying that she had never seen Miss cry, and begged Miss not to cry, she couldn't stand it.
Le Yi calmed down when she saw her like this, looked at the crying Caisang, the red-eyed Caixiang, and the somewhat overwhelmed Cailian and Caibi, hurriedly controlled her emotions, patted Caisang's back, and told Cailian to call the two little girls and the one from Chunmei's family called Yijun to come over, she had something to tell them to do.
She wiped her face casually and went to her eldest uncle, who happened to be in the house today.
It was rare to see his niece come to him for something, and when he saw that her eyes were red, it was obvious that she had cried, but Yang Qicheng and Feng were so anxious that they hurriedly asked what was wrong.
Le Yi told Aunt Lian about it, and Feng slapped the table angrily, in this world, I have seen uncles and aunts sell my underage nephews and nieces, and I have never seen nephews and nieces dare to sell their own aunts! It's ridiculous!
Le Yi endured her sadness and said her thoughts, hoping that her eldest uncle could send someone to her aunt's hometown to rescue her.
Yang Qicheng summoned Manager Qian with a cold face, wrote a letter to the local county order, stamped it, and handed it to Manager Qian, asking him to go in person, get things done, and bring the person back intact. As for the pair of superb nephews and nephews, let the county order deal with it impartially, and do what you have to do!
Steward Qian took the order and left.
Le Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her like this, Feng Shi hugged her in his arms distressedly, telling her not to worry, and she would soon be able to take Aunt Lian over.
At the dinner in the evening, everyone learned the news, and while talking about this inhuman nephew couple, they sympathized with Aunt Lian's experience, and comforted Le Yi not to be too anxious. The old lady instructed Mama Fan to clean up the small courtyard next to Wei Fuzi, and arrange to stay directly when the people arrived.
Le Yi finished her meal in silence.
When she returned to her yard, Wei Fuzi and Wei Yue'er were already waiting for her in the house.
Seeing her come back, Wei Fuzi couldn't help but redden.
Le Yi helped her sit down, explained the matter roughly, and said that this time even her aunt came and would never let her go again. It was also her negligence, she hadn't asked people to go to Aunt Lian for a long time, and she ignored even her aunt's letter, otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this.
Wei Fuzi hurriedly patted her hand and said, "How can you blame this, if you want to blame those who have black hearts!" Regardless of courtesy, righteousness and shame, such a rebellious thing is done, and it will be retributed in the future. She said and became agitated again, and it was already the most vicious thing she could say.
Wei Yue'er had tears in her eyes, and she pulled Mrs. Wei's sleeve with some fear.
Le Yi couldn't help but stretch out her arm to hug her comfortingly, her tears fell, she was very scared, afraid that Aunt Lian would have an accident. It can be said that since she was a child, she was brought up by her aunt half of the time, and her feelings are very deep.
Seeing that her daughter was like this, Mrs. Wei was busy with herself, and her daughter was sensitive and easily frightened.
When the matter was understood, she didn't stay long, let Le Yi rest well, and if there was any news to tell her, she took Wei Yue'er back.
Le Yi hadn't slept for a long time at night, and her mind was full of bits and pieces with Aunt Lian, hoping that it wouldn't be too late to rush over this time.
It wasn't until the sky was slightly white that I fell asleep from exhaustion. Early the next morning, I slept until three o'clock in the morning.
Seeing that she was up, Cai Xiang hurriedly prepared the washing utensils and hot water, and Le Yi finished cleaning up her breakfast before remembering a letter from Bai Mu.
This guy has been running outside for half of the past two years, and he will write to her wherever he sees anything new, but this time he doesn't know where it is.
When she opened the letter, there was only a thin one, which was a little strange, because there were at least several of them every time she received them, and she read them with relish, this guy was lazy?
opened the threefolded letter and read the first line of words, Le Yi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise, it turned out that this guy is actually on the northwest border now!
Oh my God, her heart couldn't help but rise, there was a war going on there, how did he run there!
Then I looked down, and it turned out that he happened to be in the trapped city.
This time the army passed and the city was liberated, and he simply followed the army to do some logistics work.
Later, the prince saw him and let him go into the prince's tent to help.
The letter mentioned that her father and third brother are currently very good, which reassured her.
After a few sentences, her heartbeat was faster.
What if the city can't catch up with the arrival of the army and is breached? It's horrible!
His handwriting was very sloppy, presumably in a hurry.
Le Yi put away the letter, and silently prayed in her heart that the war would end soon, and the longer it dragged on, the more people would be killed and wounded.
In this way, in anxious waiting, half a month later, Aunt Lian was picked up. The carriage arrived at the Hou Mansion in the morning, and Le Yi ordered the people to be arranged directly into her own courtyard.
I haven't seen it for more than two years, even my aunt is a lot older, and her sideburns even have a little gray hair, and the most distressing thing is that she doesn't have the vitality she had before, but her good-looking appearance makes people feel even more pitiful according to this appearance.
Looking at her, who was thin and didn't have much energy, Mrs. Wei cried bitterly, and Wei Yue'er also shed tears.
"Okay, it's okay, I'm fine, look at you, you're all crying like a flower-faced cat." Aunt Lian smiled and comforted them.
"Auntie, the water is boiled, you go to freshen up first, change into clean clothes, and eat something, after the lunch break, we will talk in detail in the afternoon." Le Yi arranged everything properly.
"Yes, yes, you go and freshen up first, we will live in the yard next door, and when we wake up at noon, we will come back"
Aunt Lian nodded tiredly
She had been hungry for several days before she was rescued, and after being rescued, the housekeeper meant to recuperate for a few days before leaving. But she did not want to stay in the town for a moment, so the butler arranged for a carriage to take her back first, and he took care of the matter before returning.
Running all the way, tired and tired, coupled with the previous fear, after the taut string was sent down at this moment, he fell asleep after freshening up and eating a few bites.
Mrs. Wei pulled Wei Yue'er away with red eyes.
Le Yi also went back to her yard first.
She slept until late in the evening before waking up.
After waking up, before she could go to say hello to the old lady, who knew that the old lady and the Feng family Liu had already come to see her.
The old lady sat beside her, took her hand and let her live well, and didn't have to worry about everything else, she lived in the house in peace, and they were the masters for her!
Feng arranged for Dr. Tomorrow to come over to take her pulse and regulate her body.
The Liu family arranged for a maid to serve her.
Mrs. Wei nodded with satisfaction.
Aunt Lian's tears that she had been holding back for so many days fell instantly, and she wanted to kowtow to the old lady, but was stopped.
"You are Yi'er's master, a teacher for one day and a father for life, you and Mrs. Wei are companions, and you will have to be busy in the future." The old lady patted her hand pityingly.
Aunt Lian nodded, looking at Le Yi, who was already high in front of her, and only felt as if she was in a different world, until Le Yi secretly winked at her as before, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Auntie, how have you spent the past two years, can you tell us?" Le Yi knew that her grandmother was worried about this, so she simply asked.
"This is natural." Even my aunt was going to say it, but now that everyone is there, she will roughly explain the matter one by one.
In the past two years at my nephew's house, the life has passed at the beginning, except for them who are a little stingy, everything else is okay.
Later, I didn't know what business my nephew was doing outside, and he lost all his money, and he didn't even keep the house to sell. Aunt Lian had savings in hand, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't bear everyone to live on the streets, so she paid for him to pay off the debt.
But who knew that her nephew took the money and didn't pay off the debt, and continued to invest in it, and the result can be imagined, a few months later, the loss was even more!
This time, she didn't want to give it anymore because she felt that this nephew was unreliable. But her niece and daughter-in-law cried and said that this day could not be passed, it was better to separate it, so as not to be dragged to death by him, if it was unreasonable, she would take the children to die together.
The nephew knelt down with a mournful face and begged her, hoping that she could help again, and after changing the debt this time, she would definitely live a down-to-earth life.
Even when my aunt saw this, even if it was not for their husband and wife, but for the sake of the children, the children looked at her with pitiful eyes, which made her unbearable, so she had to take out all the money she had left.
Who knows, this nephew said one thing and did another, and it didn't take long for the debt collector to come to the door again.
This time she was angry, and she regretted that she had relented for a moment and indulged in their greed. didn't bother to pay attention to the family anymore, and clearly told them that her savings were all given to them, and there was no silver left, so let them figure it out by themselves.
But her nephews and daughters-in-law didn't think so, this time they showed their true colors, scolded her for being too ruthless, saying that she had been serving her and supporting her in the past few years, and when the family was in trouble, she didn't even stretch out her hand! The neighbor next door and other relatives came to see the excitement and pointed at her.
These words made Aunt Lian angry and fell ill directly.
I think that since she came back, although she has lived in their house, she has not actually reached out to use any of their silver, and even the maid who helps her with her work is paid by her own money. During the New Year's holidays, they also wrapped a lot of red envelopes for the children, and gave their nephews and daughters-in-law some silver every month for daily chewing. How did it come to their mouths and become for her and for her? I'm embarrassed to say that she is ruthless!
I was sick for more than half a month, and when my body got better, I was thinking about moving out, and the debt collector came to the door.
It was the rich man of the land, who thought that although even my aunt was not young, her perennial dance practice made her look much younger than her actual age, and her figure was not comparable to that of her age, not to mention her appearance, which made the rich man dazzled all of a sudden.
No, there is this absurd drama in the back! Fortunately, she has been treating people well for the past two years, and the servant who has been serving her is willing to take the risk of handing over the letter.
She said calmly, but people were filled with righteous indignation, and everyone accused her nephews and daughters-in-law of being too inhumane.
Le Yi could hear the sadness behind her voice!
Anyone who is betrayed by their closest relatives like this will not be able to stand it, especially even my aunt, who is quite arrogant, but in fact, she is very emotional, and the silver is gone for her, but the behavior of her family is completely hit her.
Fortunately, things didn't go in the worst direction, and they finally arrived.
After everyone comforted her, they got up and left, let her have a good rest, and take care of her body first.
That night, Mrs. Wei stayed with her, and the two talked for a long time before they fell asleep.
Due to the war at the border pass, the capital is a lot quieter!
In addition to the east and west markets are still lively, all the official eunuch houses are much more low-key! The activities of the usual seasonal tours, lotus appreciation, and flower shows have stopped, and although the daily wedding is in progress, it is not as extravagant as usual.
And the major families, officials with more than two grades have postponed these things.
After obtaining the consent of the Wu family, the Marquis of Wuping moved the marriage of Yang Wenhua and Wu Hui to the back, and the marriage was originally planned to be in October until the beginning of the spring of the second year.
As the news of the border war came back one after another, everyone's mood also fluctuated.
At first, the army used to relieve the urgency of besieging the city, but later under the counterattack of the five princes of the Western Chu State, they lost the battle and retreated.
Later, Yang Qi'an organized the personnel and divided them into many assault groups, each of which had local soldiers joining. This is also made for the local environment, they are not familiar with the place and many people are not accustomed to the soil and water these two aspects suffered a lot, after doing this effect is very good, although the number of each group is not large, but the tacit understanding is quickly improved, the combat effectiveness is much enhanced.
In particular, the small team led by the prince, Shen Ye and others quickly stood out among the other teams.
Of course, there are dangers without achievements, and once several small detachments made a mistake in judgment during a raid on the Western Chu State and were besieged by a large army. Yang Qi'an immediately ordered other teams to go to the rescue, but in this battle, many people were injured, the prince and Yang Wenkang and others were injured, and the two sides entered a state of anxiety.
The news of the prince's injury came quickly, after all, no one dared to hide such a big matter, and Yang Wenkang's injury also spread to the Hou Mansion, Yang Qi'an's idea was to avoid his family's cranky thoughts, and the injury was within a controllable range, so it was good to recuperate for a while.
But he misestimated the endurance of the women and children, Liu almost fainted in fright, and the old lady also shook her body. In the end, it was gradually eased up in the persuasion and analysis of Yang Qicheng, Yang Wende and others, but they were still anxious, but there was no other way but to wait patiently and bless them with a safe return.
The palace was even more silent, Queen He recited Buddhist scriptures all day long, and no one else dared to disturb them.
There are a lot fewer parties, Le Yile is clean, and a few friends get together on weekdays.
As the war progressed, she picked up a large number of books, and often dressed up as a boy to sit in the teahouse, and heard a lot of news about the border gates. It's better than sitting in the middle of the house and not being able to do anything.
