Chapter 111: Late at Night
Wang Jingxue left angrily, and Linglong turned around and entered the courtyard of Old Taijun Tong with a calm face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info was thinking over and over again in his heart, whether it was Wang Jingxue's wishful thinking or Shen Yunqi also had feelings for her. Also, when she talked to Shen Yunqi just now, how much did she hear.
Linglong sat there absentmindedly and talked to the old lady and Mrs. Tong, and finally survived until the old lady got up and left. She was really worried that if she stayed any longer, with Old Taijun Tong's shrewdness and ability, she would definitely be able to see some clues.
The old lady handed over the dowry for Lingrong to Aunt Yan to handle, and Xiao almost vomited blood. Blowing the wind in Mu Shichang's ears five times, saying that letting his aunt do the dowry didn't make the people of the Ji family feel cold, saying that we don't take them in our eyes, Lingrong married into the Ji family was originally Gao Pan, don't mess up this good family affair because of the dowry, so as to want the authority back, but Mu Shichang said that let her prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival with peace of mind, on August 15, Mei Jiuniang will enter the mansion. Xiao's internal organs and six organs of Qi are all painful.
It happened that on August 14, as soon as Mu Shichang left, while the old lady went to Li's mansion, Xiao asked Luo's mother to call Aunt Yan to Fangyuan, and casually found an excuse to let her kneel under the scorching sun for a whole day, until the news came from the second gate that the old lady was back.
Aunt Yan knew why the Xiao family was angry, but she also knelt calmly. While kneeling, he thought about what kind of dowry to buy for Lingrong, which was decent and realistic. The set of dowries that Xiao bought for Lingrong before were all good-looking on the surface, but in fact they were the most useless, and they couldn't be kept. It's just that when I got up, my knee hurt like a pinprick, and if it wasn't for the maid holding it, I could hardly walk. As long as Xiao Shi is not difficult to be Lingrong, he can do anything.
After dinner, Su'er instructed the girl in Ciyuan to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Liuli brought the prepared Biluochun.
"Mei Jiuniang and the two children will come back early tomorrow morning, who do you think is appropriate?" Xiao Shi took a sip of tea and asked the old lady with a smile.
The old lady thought for a moment, pointed to Liuli and said, "Just let her take Su'er with her." Then he smiled and said to Su'er: "Ming'er followed your sister Liuli out of the house and saw the world." ”
Su'er blushed happily and replied crisply, "Hey! ”
Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled: "It's okay, Liuli has been with you for so many years, and she hasn't experienced anything, so it's only appropriate for her to go." In my heart, I scolded the old lady for being cunning, distrustful of myself, and full of partiality towards Mei Jiuniang.
Liuli goes to the same as the old lady going, this is to give Mei Jiuniang enough face. With Liuli here, who dares to snub Mei Jiuniang's mother and son, so that early tomorrow morning, everyone in the house will know how much the old lady attaches importance to Mei Jiuniang's outer room.
Liuli went to pick up Mei Jiuniang, and Linglong also put her mind at ease. At the very least, Shaw won't blatantly make a move. With Mei Jiuniang's wit, nothing should be guaranteed along the way.
"Tomorrow, let's use the newly made carriage in the house. I went to see it today, and it was really spacious and comfortable. I have asked Luo's mother to arrange the newly made felt mats, kang quilts, pillows and so on. Xiao sighed.
The old lady also laughed, "Yes, when I came back from the Li Mansion today, I took a look at it from a distance, and it was indeed good." You tell the manager to let him make two more and come back, and that one will be given to Mei Jiuniang, and it will be convenient for her to take the two children in and out. "My sister is right, since she is allowed to come back, she must be treated as a family. Moreover, it is better to use Mei Jiuniang to suppress and suppress the Xiao family, so that she can be restrained and restrained, otherwise, she doesn't know what to do.
Xiao Shi gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "I'll give the order in a while." He turned to look at Lingrong and said, "Seeing that you are about to get married, your marriage came suddenly, and the date is also in a hurry, and I haven't taught you anything." The Ji family is not like ordinary people, not to mention anything else, you have to know how to read this account book. Later, come with me to Fangyuan, and I will teach you to read the account book. ”
Ling Rong's eyelids jumped, and she got up very reluctantly and said, "Yes." ”
The old lady instructed Lingrong: "Your mother is right, the Ji family is a family of merchants, and if you don't read the account book, those servants will look down on you, your mother taught you, you have to study seriously." ”
Lingrong nodded, "Got it." The hand hidden in the sleeve trembled. I can't stop cheering myself up, I have to hold on, as long as October 12 passes, everything will be over.
Linglong couldn't help but worry about Lingrong in her heart, unless Xiao was crazy, she would really teach Lingrong to read the account book. I'm afraid that I was angry at the Big Buddha Temple, and I was rejected by Baoning Houfu, and then Mrs. Jiang came to the matchmaker and bypassed her, and it was true to be angry.
Xiao took Lingrong back to Fangyuan and threw a thick account book to her, "This is the account book of the first half of the year, you can copy it from beginning to end." I'll tell you about that later. ”
Lingrong took the account book and opened it to see that it was densely written. It's such a thick book, and it will take about a whole day to copy it.
Luo's mother took Lingrong to the original Lingyu's house, threw her a roll of rice paper, and put pen and ink on it. "Mrs. instructed, you will copy it in the eldest lady's room, and then show it to Mrs. when you are done copying before leaving." After that, he lit the candle for Lingrong, but only lit one.
In the dim light, it didn't take long for Lingrong's eyes to be astringent and painful. continued to write, her eyes were sore and tears kept flowing, and only by silently reciting Ji Bingqian's name in her heart could she not stop.
Just after the ugly hour, Linglong instructed Ziyue to guard the door, and left a photo in the house to accompany her and wait for Shen Yunqi to arrive.
Before he finished drinking a cup of tea, Shen Yunqi came, and he looked more and more heroic in a black night suit.
"What is this?" Looking at the burden that Shen Yunqi was holding in his arms, Linglong asked.
Because I was afraid that people would find out, there was no light in the house, only a little light shining through the window, and Linglong saw that the burden was embroidered with peonies all over the place.
Shen Yunqi didn't speak, went directly into Linglong's bedroom, put the burden in his arms on the Linglong bed, and gently untied the tightly wrapped baggage, revealing a baby's head. The moment Shen Yunqi unwrapped the package, the child lying inside happened to show a beautiful smile, as if he was very satisfied with the current environment.
Rao is Linglong has always been calm and composed, and she was also startled when she saw this little baby who was sleeping sweetly in the package by Shen Yunqi. "What is this?"
"Kid!" Shen Yunqi touched the baby's face and did not look up.
Linglong couldn't cry or laugh, of course she knew that this was a child, and she was not blind, "I'm asking you, what are you doing with this child." ”
"This is my friend's child, who has just turned four months old. His house was almost wiped out last night, and now he and the child are left behind. With that, Shen Yunqi stood up, looked at Linglong's clear eyes and said, "He is my friend of life and death, and I must help him with his help." You are the person I trust the most, so I can only put the child with you for the time being, and I will take the person away the day after tomorrow. ”
Shen Yunqi's sentence "You are my most trusted person" made Linglong moved, "But ......"
Before Linglong finished speaking, she heard a loud whistle outside, and Shen Yunqi touched Linglong's head, "I have to go, you take care of her." With that, leave in a hurry.
After Shen Yunqi left, Ziyue came in from outside, and when she saw the sleeping child on the bed, she couldn't help covering her mouth, gasped, and looked at Linglong, "Miss?" ”
Linglong smiled helplessly. Shen Yunqi put the child here, but this is not an airtight place, the child always cries when he wakes up, and people in Xiao Mansion come and go, how can he not be discovered. Besides, what should I do if my child is so young and hungry? Where to find her milk.
That big pig's head didn't even think about it.
"Miss, this kid is so cute." As soon as Shen Yunqi left, he pestled the shadow that had not moved beside the bed and suddenly said, "No matter how small her arm is, I don't dare to touch it." Miss, you see, her eyelashes are so long and curly. As Zhaoying was talking, the child suddenly pursed his lips and looked like he was about to cry, so frightened that Zhaoying quickly covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak.
The three of them were in their throats, and they almost didn't dare to breathe, and if they cried in the middle of the night, they would definitely know it.
Hold her breath and concentrate for a long time, but fortunately she just pouted, didn't wake up, and didn't cry. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Zhaoying didn't dare to continue to pestle beside the bed, and left lightly. Linglong found that after a while, she was covered in sweat.
It's not a good idea to leave the kids here.
After thinking about it, Linglong decided to let Ziyue carry the child to Tongqian Hutong overnight. Zhao Sijin's family lives there, which is much safer and more reliable than here. When will Shen Yunqi come to pick up the child, and when will Ziyue come back.
It's just that Ziyue is not here, what if Xiao or Grandmother asks. didn't have time to think about this, rewrapped the child, and Ziyue hugged the child and left quietly.
"Miss, what if Young Master Shen doesn't come to pick up this child?" After Ziyue left, Zhaoying and Linglong stood side by side in front of the window, looking out the window and looking at the Qinghui, Zhaoying asked worriedly.
Yes, Shen Yunqi just said that this child's family was wiped out, and only her and Shen Yunqi's friend survived. Obviously, Shen Yunqi's friend is not capable of taking care of this child at present, otherwise he would not have handed over the only living child in the family to Shen Yunqi.
Will that person be able to find a place for the child the day after tomorrow? If not, does that mean that Shen Yunqi will have to take over this child from now on. A four-month-old child who still doesn't understand anything. It's not a problem to find a wet nurse for her to feed her, but when she grows up, what kind of identity will she have to face the world. With her true identity, I am afraid that she will soon be killed by the enemy.
Shen Yunchi's friend of life and death was tragically destroyed, so will Shen Yunqi be in danger? Thinking of this, Linglong became worried, regretting that she hadn't asked him clearly. (To be continued.) )
