Chapter 49: Into the Palace
When she got up in the morning, Su Man hadn't seen Feiyan's shadow yet, and Su Man thought, why did she go?
Su Man woke Chen Yao up, dressed her, washed up, and the store brought porridge and buns, and said to Su Man Chen Yao to use it slowly, and then withdrew. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Man looked at the hot buns, and didn't dare to let Chen Yao move the chopsticks, they didn't have any on them, if Feiyan didn't come back, what would they give to others to cook money? The money for the house had been given by Feiyan the night before, and Su Man had seen it with his own eyes.
"Why don't you eat?" The door creaked, Feiyan came in, and when she saw Su Man Chen Yao looking at the food in a daze, she asked.
"Sister, we don't have any sons." Suman Road.
"I've already paid for the meal, can't the shopkeeper ask you for the food?" Feiyan wondered.
"No, no." Su Man said, "But sister, we don't have the money to pay you back!" ”
"Silly girl!" Feiyan said, "Don't talk to me in the future, your task is to take care of your master, you don't have to worry about other things, someone has already arranged it, let's eat!" ”
"Sister, I'm hungry!"
Chen Yao looked up at Su Man, and the soliciting eyes touched the soft place in Su Man's heart, Su Man stroked Chen Yao's head and smiled at her.
"Let's eat!"
Chen Yao showed a smile at this time, she picked up a bun and wanted to put it in her mouth, remembered something, peeked at Feiyan, was a little embarrassed, put down the bun, she whispered to Feiyan.
"Sister, you eat!"
Feiyan paused for a moment, this is the little master of the East King, where is her share to sit down. She is different from Su Man, although Su Man is her girl, but now they are sisters in the eyes of others, of course they can be at the same table, so she said.
"Eat first, I haven't washed yet!"
"Then let's wait for you to eat together!" Chen Yao said.
"No need, Suman, you eat first!" Feiyan looked at Su Man and pouted at Chen Yao, Su Man understood that she couldn't starve her.
Su Man served Chen Yao a meal, took a bun for her, and took out the remaining half of the steamed bun that the old monk gave her last night, and ate it with porridge.
Feiyan looked at Su Man and wanted to say something, but she held back, she went out to freshen up outside.
After all, Su Man is a girl, not so delicate. Feiyan thought.
Feiyan sent Su Man to the boat, Ah Jiu was frowning, and when he saw Su Man, his eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"Two little ancestors, you are finally back, but I'm worried about death!" Ah Jiu seemed at a loss, but he felt like he had drunk honey, and now he finally had an explanation.
"you, hurry up and cook!" Ah Jiu said to Su Man Chen Yao flatteringly: "Two young ladies, are you hungry?" ”
Ah Jiu's mother-in-law heard Ah Jiu talking to someone, and heard Ah Jiu calling her, came out of the shipbuilding, saw that it was Su Man Chen Yao, folded her hands, and said, "Amitabha, finally back." ”
Mrs. Jiu hurriedly went to fetch water and brought it to the shelf, "Miss, let's wash it first, the meal will be ready soon!" ”
She started to get busy, Suman said.
"Don't be busy, we've already eaten, eat yourselves!"
"You can come back safely, I, even if I don't eat for three days, I'm comfortable!" When Mrs. Ajiu heard that they had already eaten it, she put down the dry scoop in her hand and said to Su Man.
Ah Jiu poured tea for them and said, "What do you want to eat at noon, I'll buy it!" ”
"What else do you ask?" Ah Jiu scolded: "Can the two young ladies eat well outside this day?" Hurry up and buy a chicken, buy a fish, by the way, the meat should be lean, and the young lady doesn't want to eat the fatty! ”
"Hey, what about the big festival, the two young ladies are back, it's the big festival!" Ah Jiu's wife agreed, took off her apron, and went ashore to buy vegetables.
The boat was pulled, Ah Jiu did not dare to delay any longer, for fear of accidents, until noon on the second day, the boat docked at the pier on Wangfu Street.
Feiyan's boat also docked behind.
"Girl, this is Wangfu Street." Big Dog Road.
Feiyan nodded, she picked up the package, and said to the big dog, "You wait for me, and I will sail back tomorrow morning." ”
The big dog sighed and led the mother-in-law ashore.
Zhennan Wangfu is on the edge of Wangfu Street, Wangfu Street has not risen for a few years, after Zhennan Wang moved here, the use of the house is large, and people who do business nearby like to come here, just at the back door of Zhennan Wangfu House, a street gradually emerged, and people are called Nanwang Street.
Ah Jiu and his mother-in-law took Su Man Chen Yao to the back door of the palace, saw that the door was closed, knocked on the door a few times, and no one answered inside, so Ah Jiu turned to the front door.
I saw two gilded characters on the gatehouse, the palace, under the sun, shining gold. There are two large stone lions on both sides of the door, with stone balls in their mouths, which are extremely majestic.
Outside the door stood four boys, dressed in gray robes, and an older thin man, sitting on a bench by the door, watching the people coming and going, talking to one of the four boys.
"Master Fan, how have you been doing lately?" Ah Jiu stepped forward to talk to the elder and saluted the elder.
"Oh, it's Lao Jiu, how did you get here today? In stock? Fan Ye stood up and asked.
"Ah, there is no goods, I want to inquire about Fan Ye personally!"
"Who?"
"There is a girl named Xiaocui in the house, can Master Fan know?"
"You're talking about the girl in the old lady's room?"
"I don't know about this, Master Fan, can you please send someone to notify her to come out and see if it's her?"
Fan Ye's brows furrowed, and he looked at Ah Jiudao.
"Ah Jiu, you don't know the rules of the house, that little cui girl, but you can see it when you say it? I've been in the house for five years, not to mention Miss Xiaocui, there are so many girls in it, I haven't seen any of them. You're lightweight, and let's see if you're right? ”
After Fan Ye finished speaking, he shook his head and snorted.
"Miss Xiaocui's hometown is here, take a look!" Ah Jiu said, pointing at Su Man Chen Yao and said, "It was Miss Xiaocui who wrote to ask them to come!" Master Fan, you look at things ??????"
"Oh!" Fan Ye sighed, and immediately changed his smile to Su Man Chen Yao and said, "Two girls, do you know who she is waiting for in the mansion?" ”
Suman shook his head, "I don't know either! ”
As soon as Fan Ye heard the accent, he really came from the capital, he knew that this Xiaocui had been bought by Wang Yilong in the capital, so he might as well send someone in to ask Miss Xiaocui first, is there anyone from his hometown?
"Please wait a minute, I'll send someone to talk to Miss Xiaocui!" Fan Ye said.
After a long while, the side door creaked open, and I saw a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and handsome, dressed in a Luo skirt, followed by two mothers-in-law, and hurriedly walked out.
"Still don't bow your head? I don't understand the rules at all! One of the mothers-in-law reprimanded a boy.
"You ignorant thing!" Fan Ye stepped forward and kicked the kid who raised his eyes to look at Xiaocui's girl, turned around and whispered to Xiaocui: "This is a newcomer, I don't understand the rules of the house yet, wait for me to go back to the housekeeper, let people teach him well, please calm the girl's anger!" ”
"It's fine!" Fan Ye clasped his hands into fists and bowed his head to salute, Xiao Cui didn't even look at him.
Xiao Cui fixed her eyes on Chen Yao, she looked up and down, and then looked Su Man up and down, the two glanced at each other, Xiao Cui smiled and said to a woman in her forties, "Mother Wang, how about you look at my two fellow countrymen?" It's okay to wait for the old lady! ”
"Oh, can the girl's recommendation be wrong? Just by the two of them, the old lady must like it very much! The man named Mother Wang hurriedly echoed.
"Years ago, the old lady was gracious, I went back to my hometown, and my mother mentioned it to me, saying that their family was difficult, so I had the opportunity to help them find an errand in the house, and then I met them, and I thought they looked good, I didn't see them for a year, and the longer they looked, the better they looked." Xiao Cui said with a smile.
"The eighteen changes of the female university!" Another mother Zhou scrambled to speak: "Girls say this, presumably they didn't look good when they were young, and they are usually like this??????"
Xiaocui glanced at Zhou's mother, the embarrassment on her face was fleeting, and she hurriedly interrupted.
"Let's go inside, it's too unreasonable to stand here."
"Yes, yes, let's go inside!" Mother Wang echoed.
Mother Zhou is waiting for the second door, she is different from Mother Wang, Mother Wang is the girl who is married to her wife, and her status is higher than her.
Mother Zhou still felt the change on Xiaocui's face, and she chuckled in her heart, could it be that they are relatives?
Mother Zhou regretted that she couldn't speak, and it was only right to flatter them, after all, they were introduced by Miss Xiaocui.
"Thank you, Ninth Master, thank you Ninth Mother!" Su Man took Chen Yao and saluted Ah Jiu and his family.
The two hurriedly said no, no, at this time, the hearts of the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, the person was delivered, and the task was completed.
"Mother Zhou, you go and let people inform the kitchen, treat the two of them well, thank them for taking care of them along the way!"
Zhou's mother listened to Xiaocui's words and hurriedly agreed.
Ah Jiu was still polite, and was pulled into it by Fan Ye, he went to the housekeeper to pass on Xiaocui's words, and the housekeeper heard about it and said to Fan Ye: "Since it is the Xiaocui girl who ordered, then treat people well, and you can find two people and accompany them to drink two cups." ”
Fan Ye agreed to go.
Xiaocui led Su Man Chen Yao to the inner mansion, and along the way, when the boys saw it, they all stood there with their heads bowed.
When I arrived at a courtyard in the inner house, I knocked on the door, the door opened, and a girl called out to my sister and retreated.
Cui led them through the winding corridor, crossed the bridge, and walked towards a courtyard.
In the main hall of the courtyard, there were three people sitting, the top was a white-haired old lady, and on the side sat Wang Yilong and his wife Zhou Hui. There are a few big girls standing in the back, they have all entered the palace since they were children, and they are trustworthy.
"Old lady, old lady, they are here!"
A big girl standing by the door saw Xiao Cuiwang's mother with two older and one small girls from a distance, and said.
The people in the house gathered their eyes to the door, Xiaocui and Wang's mother arrived at the door, the door curtain was provoked by the girl inside, Xiaocui helped Chen Yao and walked in, Su Man came over and pulled Chen Yao to the middle of the room, there was already a girl who took two kneeling mats, one after the other, Chen Yao knelt in front, Su Man knelt slightly back.
"Miss and I please the old lady and the old lady are safe! When we first arrived in your mansion, we didn't know the rules of your mansion, and we hoped that the old lady and the old lady would take care of it! ”
Mrs. Wang looked at them dressed in plain clothes, tears rolling in her eyes, Zhou Hui couldn't help it, and tears flowed down her eyes.
Mrs. Zhou and Xue Ying have a very good personal relationship, a year ago she followed Nanwang to the capital and lived in the Dongwang Mansion for more than a month, when Chen Yao was only four years old, she stuck to her all day long, asking her to hug, and now two years have passed, this child doesn't even dare to look at himself.
"Yaoyao, raise your head, do you know me?" Zhou Hui's voice trembled.
Chen Yao didn't dare to raise his head, and Su Man said in a low voice.
"Miss, Madame is talking to you, look up, do you still know Madame?"
Chen Yao raised her head at this time, looked at it for a long time, grinned, didn't dare to cry in the end, but tears poured down.
"My son!" Zhou Hui couldn't hold back any longer, she stood up, took a few steps, hugged Chen Yao in her arms, and cried loudly.
"Woo woo, godmother!" At this time, Chen Yao dared to cry out loud, and all the grievances of so many days were released in Zhou Hui's arms.
Chen Yao's crying made Wang Yilong's eyes moist, and he turned around, unable to bear to look directly at such a scene.
Wang Yilong stood up and said, "Mother, I'll go first!" ”
The old lady couldn't stop crying, and she waved her hand to Wang Yilong.
Wang Yilong and Chen Jing have been playing together since childhood, when Chen Jing got married, the old lady also made him a Quanfu grandmother, and now looking at his daughter, she has been wandering outside for so long, and now she is pitiful to this point, how can she not be sad.
Wang Yilong walked to the door, turned back to a few girls inside, and said: "You all listen to me, you have to take good care of her in the future, if she suffers the slightest grievance in the house, let me know that I will break your legs!" ”
A few girls, their faces have changed, the old man has never said such cruel words to them, these girls, among them, there are two in the old lady's house.
The girl and Wang's mother answered yes together!
