Chapter Eighty-Three: Raised on the Knees
At this time, it was already dark, and I couldn't see my fingers, Mama Liu stayed to watch the children and the yard, and Mama Sun took the maid Dongxue to go to Luoyue Xuan with Qian Yuning and the little marquis. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Chunli and a second-class maid of Luoyue Xuan led the way with a lantern in front, the little marquis walked forward, Qian Yuning followed, and Grandma Sun and Dongxue also walked at the end with a red lantern in their hands.
When I arrived at Luoyue Xuan, the courtyard was brightly lit, the gate of the courtyard was open, and a maid stood at the door, and when she saw someone coming, she immediately came forward to salute: "Slave Qiulan, I have seen the little marquis, I have seen Aunt Qian." ”
The little marquis ignored and walked straight forward, Qian Yuning glanced at the woman, and under the light of the lantern, he only saw a face as bright as a peach blossom and a pair of black eyes, which was impressive.
Entering the middle hall, Shi Huiyun was sitting on the main seat on the left drinking almond honey, and when she saw that the little marquis was also coming, she hurriedly got up and gave up the position to the little marquis, and sat on the right, and asked the maids to offer two more cups of almond honey.
Qian Yuning saw that Zhang was kneeling under the hall, it seemed that he had already been combed, his hair was combed back into a bun and made with an ordinary silver hairpin, and his clothes were also changed to a reddish-brown one, his face was clean, and he could no longer see the embarrassed appearance in the green garden.
After Shi Huiyun gave the little marquis a salute, Qian Yuning stepped forward to greet Shi Huiyun again, Shi Huiyun smiled politely and said, "My sister is here, sit down and talk." She pointed to Zhang, who was kneeling in the hall, and said, "Sister, look, is this the third lady's nurse Zhang?" ”
Qian Yuning nodded and said, "Yes, young lady." ”
Shi Huiyun said with a straight face: "Sister, do you know that this Zhang family actually said that you abused the third girl, can there be such a thing?" ”
Qian Yuning hurriedly said: "Young lady, don't listen to her nonsense, this is nothing at all, the concubine has already verified that this Zhang family is because she stole something that should not be eaten, which caused the third girl to have a rash." ”
Shi Huiyun: "Oh! With a sigh, he looked at Zhang, who was kneeling on the ground, and Zhang immediately knelt down to Shi Huiyun's feet in three steps and two steps quickly, crying: "The slave maid really can't stand it anymore, since the slave maid entered the house to be the nurse of the third girl, she has treated the third girl as her own and loves her very much, how can she be willing to hurt her!" On the contrary, Aunt Qian, the mother-in-law, saw that the third girl was just a girl, saying that she had no future, and she only favored the second son on weekdays, and everything good was close to the second son's nursing mother, Fang's, and ignored the third girl. Yesterday, she asked the slave maid to carry the three girls to her room alone, stayed for a few hours, and then asked the slave maid to pick them up at night, not wanting to have a rash on the three girls today. Obviously I didn't have it yesterday, it's okay, Aunt Qian, what did you do to the third girl? I don't want to let go of my own daughter, you are so ruthless! Zhang talked and sang, crying even more breathlessly, a picture of extreme grievance.
Qian Yuning listened to Zhang's words, trembling with anger, and saw Shi Huiyun's two eyes staring at him like knives, and even the little marquis looked at him in shock, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart. I had to get up and kneel in front of Shi Huiyun and said: "Young lady Mingjian, the concubine didn't, the Zhang family lied, the third girl was the concubine herself, how could the concubine be willing to abuse, it's too late to love." After speaking, he stared at the Zhang family hatefully, so frightened that the Zhang family didn't dare to look directly, don't turn his face.
Shi Huiyun looked at the Zhang family and said angrily: "Bold Zhang, you dare to slander Aunt Qian and the third girl, the third girl is obviously good, where is there a red rash!" ”
Zhang's crying was even more fierce: "Young lady, the third girl really has a red rash, the slave maid saw it with her own eyes, it's such a big piece, the three girls are crying in pain, it's so pitiful." Aunt Qian saw that the third girl had a red rash on her body, so she didn't want the slave to take it anymore, for fear that the slave and maid would see it, so she instructed the slave and maid to go to the study to bring soup to the little marquis, and said, and said that she would give the slave and maid to the little marquis, and help her tie the little marquis's heart in Bicui Garden. The slave maid listened to her words when the lard blinded her heart for a while, but as soon as she entered the study, someone came in and said that the slave and maid had seduced the little marquis and wanted to execute the slave and maid! Young lady, you have to be the master of the slave and maid, Aunt Qian is trying to harm the slave and maid, as long as the slave and maid are dead, no one will know that she abused the third girl, so vicious! Zhang's singing and singing were good, crying and talking, and looked at Qian Yuning with a frightened face, her body kept trembling and shrunk to Shi Huiyun's feet, as if she was about to turn into a beast and eat her.
Shi Huiyun pretended to be surprised, covered her mouth with the handkerchief in her hand and exclaimed, "There is such a thing? She glanced at the little marquis without a trace, then looked at Qian Yuning and said: Aunt Qian, since the Zhang family said so, I'm afraid I have to take the third girl to take a look."
Qian Yuning knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes and looked at the little Hou Ye, who also looked at her, her face was as heavy as water, and she did not speak.
Shi Huiyun looked at Qian Yuning's teary eyes, smiled proudly, and asked the little marquis sitting beside him, "What does the little marquis think?" Do you want to invite the third girl over, and ask the little marquis to decide. ”
Cui Shuyan frowned slightly, glanced at Qian Yuning, and said, "Then someone will go and bring Sister Yue'er here!" ”
Shi Huiyun immediately instructed: "Qiulan, go to Bicui Garden and bring the three girls, call a few more people to follow, the lanterns are brighter, walk slowly on the road, don't bump the three girls." ”
A beautiful maid flashed out of a row of maids and picked up the messenger: "Yes, young lady, slave maid will go." ”
Qian Yuning knelt under the hall, only secretly weeping, the straight way was not good, she had an ominous premonition, as if something bad would happen, she really didn't expect how things could become so complicated, and her mind was clouded all of a sudden.
Everyone was speechless for a while, but fortunately, Bicui Garden was not far from Luoyue Xuan, and after a while, Qiulan also invited the three girls and was held by Mama Liu. The third girl obviously looked like she had fallen asleep and been awakened, her sleepy eyes were cloudy, her short hair was fluffy, and her little face like a red apple, she was lying obediently on Mama Liu's shoulders with her eyes open, and she didn't look energetic.
When she arrived at the place, the little girl's eyes looked everywhere, and finally saw the familiar face of her mother-in-law Qian Yuning, and stretched out her hand to hug her, Shi Huiyun, who was sitting on the top seat, saw it, with a smile on her face, and said: "Xiyun is here, come quickly, come to my mother's place, let my mother hug me." ”
When Mama Liu heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Aunt Qian who was kneeling on the ground, and Qiulan on the side stepped forward to take the three girls from Mama Liu's arms, and stepped forward to hand them to Shi Huiyun.
Shi Huiyun hugged Sister Yue in her arms and said, "What a good boy, little marquis, look, she smiled at me, she seems to like me." Cui Xiyue was stupidly held in the arms of her mother-in-law, a child who was only more than four months old, and she would not have any other expressions at all, that is, she would laugh when she saw someone talking and teasing to herself, and when she was hungry or uncomfortable, she would cry when she urinated and urinated, because laughing and crying are the only expressions that little babies can express.
Qian Yuning looked at this warm scene with tears in her eyes, and whispered "cherish the clouds, cherish the clouds" in her mouth, her heart was hung to her throat, and she lifted it tightly, seeing her daughter being affectionately held by others, maybe she would be taken away from her, just like the second girl of Xiangmo, she couldn't see her own mother once a month, and she was raised under her mother-in-law, and she didn't know how to be rubbed!
The ignorant baby only raised her mouth in her mother's arms, and then set her own fate, she did not know that she was about to be forcibly taken away from her mother, and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with curious eyes. Seeing her smiling face and playing with herself, she grinned and gave her a big smile, a string of crystal clear saliva dripped from the bright candlelight and fell on Shi Huiyun's clothes, her face twitched, and she just wanted to get angry, but after glancing at the little Hou Ye who was sitting next to her, she quickly pressed the displeasure in her heart and said to the little Hou Ye: "Little Hou Ye, if you don't cherish the moon, put it under my knees, and raise the three girls together, so that you can be a companion and cultivate sisterhood." ”
A lady in royal blue clothes beside Shi Huiyun said at this time: "Young lady, let's let the old slave show the third girl if there is a rash." ”
Shi Huiyun glanced at Mama Ye who was talking, nodded, and hugged the child to her, only to see Mama Ye take Cui Xiyue to the side of the low table and put it away, and slowly untied her clothes, the clothes in the summer were just one piece, and the slippery Cui Xiyue was suddenly exposed to everyone. Mama Ye turned Cui Xiyue over and over, and sure enough, she saw some redness, swelling and red rashes on her buttocks and thighs, but now they are much lighter. During the day, Dr. Yue's medicine was very effective, and after only one day of use, the color of the rash was not so red, and the number was much less.
At this time, Cui Xiyue cried loudly, the cry shook the sky, it turned out that Mama Ye stripped people naked, and turned over and over their bodies to look at them, touching them, making them uncomfortable, she had to punch and kick and cry to protest.
Shi Huiyun couldn't hear the child crying, let alone crying, it was too noisy, it was really annoying, so she immediately asked Mama Ye to hold the child down, and said: "Mama Ye, you see if this child is hungry, quickly hold it in and feed some milk." ”
Mama Ye hugged the third girl Cui Xiyue and went down, and the sharp and piercing cry extended from the middle hall to the inner hall, endlessly, Qian Yuning felt distressed for a while, and begged Shi Huiyun: "Young lady, please let Mama Ye hold the child to me, the child is crying like this, I will not cry when I hug her." ”
Shi Huiyun said with a smile: "Sister, this child is obviously hungry, you have no milk since you gave birth to them, even if you hold it to you, you can't breastfeed, so let's do it, this child's nursing mother is here, Zhang, you first wear the guilt and make meritorious contributions, go in and serve the three girls well." ”
Zhang kowtowed happily: "Young Mrs. Xie, the slave will go to serve the third girl immediately." With that, he got up and went into the inner hall.
Qian Yuning looked anxious, so she had to turn to the little marquis for help: "Little marquis,"
But before she finished speaking, she was intercepted by Shi Huiyun: "Little Hou Ye, you see, Xiyun's child does have a rash on his body, whether it is Aunt Qian to compete for favor or Zhang's to do it, it is all a crime suffered in Bicui Garden, it is better to leave the child in Luoyue Xuan first, and then make a decision after checking it out later." This Zhang family is also suspicious, and I will find a good nurse to serve me again tomorrow. You see how. ”
Shi Huiyun, as the main mother, wants to put the child under her knees to raise it, and the little marquis naturally will not object, so he nodded and agreed: "It's up to you." ”
Shi Huiyun said again: "Little Hou Ye, since the third girl is in Bicui Garden, I think it is always bad for the second son to stay in Bicui Garden, and I, as a mother, are also worried, after all, it is a man, our Hou Mansion has always been thin men, it is better to be careful, and take care of it with Luoyue Xuan, and take care of it with the third girl." ”
The little marquis glanced at Qian Yuning, frowned and said, "You take care of Xiyun and then talk about it, if you have another one, I'm afraid you will be distracted, and you won't be able to take care of any of them." ”
Shi Huiyun smiled gently: "What the little marquis said is that the concubine thinks that the second son and the third girl are good, but he didn't think of this. ”
Shi Huiyun looked at Qian Yuning, who was sitting on the ground in despair, and said, "Sister, let's be here today, you are also tired, go back to rest early, this time fortunately, the third girl is fine, and this matter is over." Also, no matter whether you do it or not, sister, this thing happened in your yard, and you are responsible for the failure to investigate, and you must be jointly and severally responsible. But I hope that no matter where I am in the future, there will be no more abuse of children, otherwise I, a mother, will not agree, although it is a concubine, but it is also my heart, if anyone is so vicious in the future, don't blame me Shi Huiyun's family law. ”
After speaking, Shi Huiyun asked the maid to serve the little marquis to go to the back hall to freshen up, but he stood up and left without saying a word, and he didn't say where he was going.
Mama Liu and Mama Sun helped Qian Yuning, who was paralyzed on the ground, to walk to Bicui Garden, the winter snow was playing a lantern in front, in the dark night, the autumn wind was already cold to the bone, a lone lantern swayed in the autumn wind, flicking around, as if it was about to go out, fortunately, the four of them still took advantage of that faint light to shuttle through the night with difficulty, and finally walked back to Bicui Garden.
