Chapter 85: Entrustment
Seeing Mei Jiuniang's expression, Xiaozhu brought Mei Jiuniang a bowl of bird's nest porridge and put it on the low-legged table on the kang, "Grandma drink the porridge first." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mei Jiuniang turned her head, "Grandma." Mei Jiuniang's personal maid Xiaozhu lifted the curtain and came in, "The slave gave him fifty taels of silver, and he said that he would leave the capital far away from then on and never come back." ”
Mei Jiuniang nodded, looking at the peeling candle and looking at the flames.
He in Xiaozhu's mouth was the little guy in front of Mu Shichang, and she promised to give him a settling-in fee of fifty taels of silver, so that he could reveal the news from here to the Xiao family.
Pick up the porcelain white bowl and drink porridge spoonful by spoonful. Xiaozhu sat opposite Mei Jiuniang with the kang on his shoulder, picked up a piece of children's clothes and sewed it stitch by stitch, "It's not the slave maid who said, why is grandma bothering." Let's live a good life here, why should grandma provoke that side! It's not that you don't know the temperament of the grandmother over there, how can she tolerate you, let alone the two young masters. ”
After drinking the porridge, gently put down the bowl, the spoon and the bowl made a crisp collision sound, and the room was even quieter. Mei Jiuniang smiled bitterly and pulled the corners of her mouth, and sighed: "How could I not know her temperament." It's just that I can't help it. If there is still a way, I am reluctant to see Brother Wen and Brother Hao'er look at other people's faces. Here, they are the masters, they are the young masters, everyone is spoiled, go over there......" The corners of Mei Jiuniang's mouth twitched slightly, and she swallowed the sentence whether she could live or not.
"Grandma, where is there no way to do it." When Mei Jiuniang gave birth to the twin sons, there was a blood collapse and almost died, and Xiaozhu was so frightened that she almost passed out. Fortunately, the old man invited more than a dozen doctors to take turns to take care of him, and he used all the good medicines urgently, so he saved his life. Over the years, although Mei Jiuniang has been weak, she has been **** medicine in the end, and she has been raising bird's nest again, and her body has gradually recovered, "Slave maid, look, grandma's body is much better." Grandma, don't think wildly. ”
I know that my body is much better, and Mei Jiuniang gradually developed self-confidence, thinking that she can watch her child grow up. But a few days ago, it rained, and she fell asleep for three days and three nights, which made her afraid. If he suddenly disappeared that day, what would Brother Wen and Brother Hao do.
If she is gone, she will be gone, anyway, her life in the past few years has been renewed, with her son by her side, Mu Shichang is also considerate of herself, she has nothing to regret. The only thing that can't be let go is this pair of pink-carved sons.
I'm only five years old! How to make her bear to leave it.
She had to pave the way for her son before she left.
"Don't say these good things to persuade me, those **** are in a coma, and if you don't say it afterwards, you think I don't know how long you've been crying. I kept crying for three days and three nights, I think you have to cry blind before you are willing! Xiaozhu has followed herself since she was a child, and she is more like a relative to herself, and that coma really scared her to death, "I know my illness, you have to promise me, I'm leaving, you have to guard the two brothers for me, and when the brother is over thirteen years old, you will beg the master to let the brother come back to live here." ”
These words are actually instructing the future. Xiao Zhu's eyes were hazy with tears, tears were falling and falling, he didn't dare to look up at Mei Jiuniang, the needle and thread in his hand didn't stop, completely ignoring that nine out of ten needles were pierced on his fingers, and they were red and stained with fine white arrowroot.
"The slave put the bowl first." Xiaozhu stood up, muttered, and fled in a hurry.
In the yard, under the willow tree, the autumn wind was gusting, and Xiaozhu squatted under the tree and cried loudly, his thin shoulders trembling. After crying for I don't know how long, and no longer had the strength to do so, she helped the willow tree to her feet, turned and walked towards her room.
After cleaning his face, wiping the fat powder, his eyes were red, and he couldn't see that he had cried, Xiaozhu entered Mei Jiuniang's bedroom again.
"Grandma, the slave and maid alone can raise Brother Wen and Brother Hao, why should grandma let the two brothers suffer." Xiaozhu controlled his emotions very well.
Mei Jiuniang was already bitter and desperate enough, and she couldn't let her feel any bad emotions on the side and block her.
"They always have to grow up, they always have to go to the official household, and if they don't return to their sect, how can they take the imperial examination." Mei Jiuniang let out a long sigh, "What's more, if I am gone, how can the master leave these two sons to you to take care of, they are his own sons, and he will definitely take them back." I can't wait. "When you are passive, your son's fate is even more dangerous.
Xiaozhu was stunned, why did he have to let the two brothers participate in the imperial examination. Is it bad to be a businessman? The money Mei Jiuniang has saved over the years is enough for Xiaozhu to raise her two children well. Although the status of businessmen is low, in the end, they can grow up peacefully, and the young master of a large merchant family is not still living well.
"Grandma, the two brothers are in the official household, and they can go up to Qin Feng." Qin Feng is Xiaozhu's husband, who works as a housekeeper for Mei Jiuniang and manages more than a dozen shops, "Brother can do business." Xiaozhu secretly looked at Mei Jiuniang's face and whispered.
Mei Jiuniang looked at Xiaozhu in a daze, and her nose was sour.
She knows too well what Mu Shichang is, and she will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. It's not that I haven't thought about letting Xiaozhu and Qin Feng take their two brothers away and fly away, and the industry they left to them is enough for them to use it for two lifetimes. It's just that Mu Shichang won't give up. She believed that he would do everything he could to find them.
She can't get involved with Xiaozhu. What's more, she has another purpose. With a hint of luck, she hoped that Mu Shichang could see the true face of the Xiao family, and automatically gave up the plan to take Brother Wen and Brother Hao into the Mu Mansion, and took the initiative to let Xiaozhu raise the two children.
This is the result she likes the most.
Shaking his head slightly, "I've already thought about this matter, and it won't change." You don't say any more. Mei Jiuniang said firmly.
Xiaozhu knows that there is almost no room for change in everything that grandma decides, but she is unwilling in the end! Let's do this first, if the two brothers have a hard time, I can just think of taking them away.
"I estimate, according to Xiao's temper, Ming'er will come here, you prepare well, I still have a few vicious battles to fight." Mei Jiuniang said with a smile.
"The slave knows." Seeing Mei Jiuniang smiling, Xiaozhu's heart was even more sour.
What I can do now is to help my grandmother fight with the Xiao family.
Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright. It's not that she got up early, but Luo's mother was not at ease, afraid that Linglong would regret it temporarily, and ruin his wife's good deeds, so she came to knock on the door of Jinyuan early. Holding a bright new dress and a new face, Luo's mother stood in Linglong's bedroom energetically, watching the pictures serve Linglong to wash.
Linglong doesn't bother to pay attention to her, who would dislike more clothes and more jewelry! Looking at the head brought by Luo's mother, it is worth at least forty or fifty taels of silver, don't do it in vain. Linglong smiled and let the photos dress up, and the breakfast was sweeter than usual.
Linglong followed Mother Luo out of the door of Jinyuan with her front feet, and Zhaoying and Ziyue also followed out, one went to Meishan Xiaozhu, and the other went to Ciyuan.
When Ziyue arrived at Meishan Xiaozhu, Zhe Ying and Yan Ying had already dragged Xinyi in the old lady's room, and the happy family was having breakfast.
Hearing that Linglong couldn't come, Xin Yiden was disappointed.
"It's okay, I can't come here today, and if I don't have tomorrow, my wife can't take her out every day. Don't worry, you'll be able to see it. Zhe Ying comforted Xinyi.
She really likes this soft and weak little sister, and her heart is full of strong desire to protect her from harm.
Yan Yinghe followed to comfort.
The old lady and the Jiang family Qiao looked at it, and their hearts were much more steady. The children trained by Hui'an are really not bad.
can get along with Xinxin, it is enough to see that Linglong is a good child. What kind of person is Shen Yunchi, how could she let her sister have ill-intentioned friends around her!
If Linglong had bad intentions towards Shen Xinyi, I was afraid that Shen Yunqi would have taken care of her unknowingly! The people in the Shen Mansion, he didn't have too many scruples, but he turned his face and didn't recognize the people outside.
When Linglong followed Luo's mother to Fangyuan, Xiao had just cleaned up. Luo Qing's mother and daughter were also there, and when they saw Linglong coming in in with bright clothes, Xiao Wenhui and Luo Qinggu were dazzled.
Without waiting for Linglong to say hello, Luo Qing walked up to Linglong affectionately and took her hand. Linglong frowned slightly, she hadn't seen Luo Qing before, and she didn't know who she was, but she was so enthusiastic when she met for the first time, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing Luo Qing's actions, Xiao Shi knew that she regarded Linglong as a girl from the Li family, so he smiled and said, "This is our three girls, Linglong, it hasn't been long since we came back, and you haven't seen it." "I didn't introduce Luo Qing's mother and daughter to Linglong.
As soon as he heard that it was not Miss Li, Luo Qing's face immediately changed, and he shook off Linglong's hand vigorously, as if it was something disgusting, snorted coldly, and sat back beside his mother.
Linglong secretly smacked her tongue! This face became, too, too quickly. Although I don't know who the other party is, I also know that it's not a good stubble.
Xiao didn't introduce it, but Linglong was also happy, and only saluted Xiao Shi, ignoring Luo Qing's mother and daughter who were staring at her. Pretending to be ignorant, "The daughter is waiting for her mother in the yard." With that, he turned around and went out.
Anyway, the Xiao family has other arrangements for herself today, and Linglong calculates that the Xiao family will not blame her for such a thing, after all, Mei Jiuniang's matter is the Xiao family's top priority.
Sure enough, Xiao's face changed, but he didn't say anything and let Linglong go out.
Seeing that Linglong, a girl who came out of the house, saw that she didn't say hello, Xiao Wenhui's teeth were itching, if this was in Luofu, Xiao Wenhui would have let her mother slap her mouth.
"You're too used to pampering her! What kind of thing, dare to do this to you! Xiao Wenhui complained to her sister dissatisfied.
"Sister, bear with me, and when I come back from there, I'll be angry with my sister." Xiao Shi comforted, "Sister, don't pay attention to her, it's only a matter of time before she takes care of her, so it's better to take Qing'er to her mother-in-law to say hello first, and then go to Meishan Xiaozhu, this is the right thing." ”
mentioned Meishan Xiaozhu's side, Xiao Wenhui's anger became smaller. Luo Qing urged his mother on the side, "Breakfast should run out over there, let's go over." ”
Xiao Wenhui took Luo Qing out, and when she passed Linglong, Luo Qing snorted heavily, and helped her mother away with her arrogantly, and the colorful glass beads swayed with her steps, dazzling.
Linglong bent her mouth and smiled, she really deserved to be close to the Xiao family! (To be continued.) )
