Chapter 31: Clear
Mother Jiang twisted her fat waist and returned to Ling Shuirong's garden, muttering in her heart all the way, today's Miss Yuange is really weird, as if she has broken her head last time is not as good as before.
Thinking of the woman's big black and white eyes, looking at her situation motionlessly, she couldn't help but feel empty after living for half her life and seeing a lot of deceit.
Mother Jiang took the copper basin in the little girl's hand and brought it to Ling Shuirong, who had just had breakfast, to clean her hands.
"How is it, did Zhi'er agree?" Ling Shuirong wiped the water droplets on her hands and raised her eyes to look at the nurse in front of her.
"Yes, I agreed, and I also accepted the silver you gave, and I was very happy." The corners of Jiang's mother mouth twitched, and she didn't know whether to say the doubts in her heart, but finally pursed her lips tightly together and didn't say anything.
Maybe she's too sensitive, a little girl, what can she turn out.
The calligraphy and painting competition in the palace was in full swing, but Miao Zhi never stepped into it again, always feeling that she was not in harmony with the palace, and it was better to stay as far away as possible.
Xiang Yan was really neat, and within a few days, she bought a spacious and bright shop, although it was not the most prosperous street, but it also made Miao Zhi overjoyed.
The matter of burning bottles and opening a shop has been settled, and Miao Zhi has more time to see Aunt Xiu, and the three of them rented an inconspicuous carriage and went to the small courtyard where Aunt Xiu was.
The little guy who opened the door still looked around cautiously before leading them into the door, Miao Zhi couldn't wait to walk into the room, she had a lot of questions in her heart that needed to be solved by Aunt Xiu.
Entering the door, the supple and well-behaved little girl Toshiba was carefully combing her long hair to Aunt Xiu leaning on the long pillow, so many days of careful care, Aunt Xiu's complexion did not see a little ruddy, she only wore a dark blue collared gown on her upper body, and even her broken lower body was covered.
When Miao Zhi saw this scene, she finally couldn't hold back the emotions that swept over, and her dark eyes were filled with tears.
"Zhi'er, Zhi'er is here?" Aunt Xiu's voice was a joy that couldn't be hidden, Toshiba looked up and saw the three girls who entered the door, and quickly coiled the long hair in their hands into an ingots, and also inserted an orchid hairpin.
Miao Zhi stepped forward quickly, sat on the edge of the bed and gently wrapped her arms around Aunt Xiu's shoulder, "Aunt Xiu, Zhi'er has come to see you, Zhi'er misses you so much." ”
Aunt Xiu rubbed her silky cheeks with her cheeks, and said with a light smile; "You kid, you've grown up so big and you love to be spoiled so much."
Miao Zhi quietly brushed away the tears in her eyes with her hand, and then let go of Aunt Xiu, "Aunt Xiu is a person like her mother in Zhi'er's heart, what's wrong with her daughter being coquettish with her mother." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." There are no eyes, only the upturned corners of her mouth and a doting tone show that Aunt Xiu is very happy now.
"Toshiba's hand is really skillful, this ingot's bun plate makes our embroidery aunts several years younger."
Ning Er handed the walnut cake wrapped in oil paper in her hand to Toshiba, who had finished pouring the tea, and couldn't help but praise: "Yes, yes, Sister Toshiba is really ingenious." ”
"What's wrong, how can I compare with Sister Ning'er." Toshiba said with a smile, took out the walnut crisp piece by piece, put it on a small plate, and handed it to everyone.
"Okay, good, Toshiba and Ning'er are both good, they are both clever children." After Aunt Xiu finished speaking, she opened her mouth and took a small bite of the walnut crisp handed by Miao Zhi and chewed it slowly.
When Aunt Xiu slowly ate a piece of walnut cake, Miao Zhi scolded everyone out before she opened her mouth softly: "Aunt Xiu, Zhi'er has something to ask you." ”
"Okay, Zhi'er asked." Aunt Xiu replied, although her eyes were gone, but her ears were several times more spiritual than others, and the footsteps of the squirrels went to the ear room next to her, and she knew that she should come or come.
"Ling Shuirong is really not my mother? So who is my mother? Who am I? A series of questions spit out from between her pink lips, and Miao Zhi was a little eager to know.
Aunt Xiu's brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking, and as if she was struggling, and there was still a little uneasiness in her complicated complexion.
Miao Zhi's eyes widened and she looked at Aunt Xiu's face, her heart was like a cat's claw scratching, and her hands couldn't help but be tightly twisted together.
As if a century had passed, Aunt Xiu sighed heavily and said, "Zhi'er, you are indeed not the young lady of the bachelor's house, and Ling Shuirong is indeed not your mother-in-law. ”
Although she was mentally prepared enough, from the mouth of her closest and most beloved person, Miao Zhi's head exploded like a thunderbolt, and her ears were buzzing.
"Then who the hell is my mother? Why did I become the young lady of the bachelor's house, Aunt Xiu, are you really harmed by Ling Shuirong? In the end, Miao Zhi was a little scared, and her voice was a little hoarse and blurred.
Thinking of these things, Aunt Xiu's chest was stuffy, and it took a while to calm down.
"Yes, it was that Ling Shuirong who caused me to be like this." There was a lot of hatred in her tone, "She just wants to know her mother's whereabouts, and wants to know the recipe for Yinan's secret medicine." But she was wrong, what can I, an old woman, know? ”
Aunt Xiu's face sank like water, "Zhi'er, your mother is the saint of Yinan, Shuang Ningshi, that is, the sister of the first concubine's half-sister. ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Xiu's tone was a little heavy, and she told everything eloquently.
It turned out that more than ten years ago, after Shen Fengyi married Ling Shuirong back, although the two performed the gift of Zhou Gong. But Shen Fengyi knew that his wife had someone else in her heart, and he loved Ling Shuirong in every way, and he was honored and favored in every way, but he still couldn't let Ling Shuirong look at him more.
Shen Fengyi, who was in a depressed mood, could only use wine to kill his sorrows at that time, but unfortunately, one day he was drunk and met a girl, who looked four points similar to Ling Shuirong. Shen Fengyi was young and vigorous at that time, although the emperor was not allowed to take concubines, but he still set up a garden outside because of his temperament, and took the woman to live a comfortable life.
Ling Shuirong didn't like to judge Feng Yi in the first place, and she also turned a blind eye to this matter. How can a woman be like this, she wants more when she has Wen Cun.
The woman soon became pregnant, and carried Shen Fengyi to the bachelor's mansion with her stomach on her back. Of course, such a conversation will not end in harmony, Ling Shuirong made a stumbling block for the woman with compassion, and unknowingly placed a stable woman beside the woman.
On the night of the woman's delivery, Ling Shuirong's warm fragrant nephrite wrapped Shen Fengyi around her, and in the end, the woman died in childbirth, with one corpse and two lives. Ling Shuirong just took this opportunity to bag the child entrusted by Shuang Ningshi, and even interpreted the image of a good wife and mother to the extreme.
What do you say is the same as Shen Fengyi's flesh and blood, you can't be left outside, they are all mothers, and they can't help but feel distressed when they look at their children. Shen Fengyi, who was in the dark, looked at Ling Shuirong, who didn't make a fuss with her about this matter, but looked gentle and considerate, and was very grateful in his heart.
In this way, Miao Zhi naturally became the young lady of the bachelor's house, as for Aunt Xiu, she was sent by Shuang Ningshi, and the jade pendant was also given to Miao Zhi by Shuang Ningshi.
"And who is my father? Since my mother is a saint of Yinan, can't she get married? Where did my irresponsible dad go? She asked anxiously, but Aunt Xiu only shook her head blankly, and she didn't know about Miaozhi's father.
Before leaving, Miao Zhi still settled Toshiba carefully as usual: "Don't make a potion for Aunt Xiu for too long every time, and remember to give her severed limbs after taking a bath." She said, handing over a bag of silver in her hand. Toshiba is also very careful and sensible, and nods his head in response.
On the carriage back, Miao Zhi leaned on the soft pillow. After knowing so many things, thinking about returning to the Bachelor's Mansion and having such a cruel and vicious woman by her side, she began to feel anxious and afraid.
