Chapter 48: Identity
The little guy stood at the gate of Ling Shuirong's courtyard and looked back and forth.
Coincidentally, Xi Hong walked out of the courtyard with a copper basin, "Zhuzi, what are you doing here, could it be that you are fighting with others again, let Mrs. call the shots for you?" ”
She glanced at the pillar, splashed the water from the basin at the base of the wall, and turned to prepare to go back.
"Good sister, good sister. I didn't fight, I just brought a letter to Jiang's mother for someone." He grabbed the corner of Xi Hong's sleeve and couldn't help but smile flatteringly.
Xi Hong shook off the hand of the pillar as if to avoid the plague, and patted his sleeve in disgust. Standing so far away, she could smell the strong smell of wine in the pillar's mouth, let alone that he was so close to her.
She frowned and pinched the tip of her nose, "You're spilling like this, I'll go back to Madame, and I can't help but peel off your skin." ”
"Sister, sister, I'm really in trouble. There was a rough woman at the back door who took a letter and said that it was a relative of Jiang's mother, and I just came here, and there was really nothing else. ”
The pillar explained in a panic, he was terrified of Madame's methods. Last time, he and the bolt in the same room had a fight because of a dozen copper plates, which alarmed his wife, and he was hit by more than a dozen plates, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't get out of bed for a month.
He was afraid that Xi Hong would not believe it, so he took out the letter paper that the woman gave him from his arms and hurriedly handed it to Xi Hong.
"Look, look, I really didn't lie to you." Thinking of being hit by the board, the pillar couldn't help but shudder, and forcibly cut off that memory.
Xi Hong picked up Zou Baba's letterhead, glanced at it randomly, and glanced at the pillar obliquely.
"What stupid things to say, Mother Jiang doesn't know a few big words like us. Holding a letter and pretending, isn't it a bad intention? ”
She played the tail note long, full of warning. The pillar broke out in a layer of cold sweat on the side, and his frightened feet were almost unstable.
"Sister Xi Hong, I've also brought my words, I'm leaving." He lowered his head and turned to leave, and after walking a few steps, he was stumbled by the blue bricks and bricks that had been laid on the ground.
Xi Hong looked at the pillar and looked like a frightened bear, and couldn't help laughing. She picked up the copper basin on the ground, and as soon as she turned around, she met Jiang's mother's somewhat complaining eyes.
As she stood still, a piece of letter paper slowly fell at Jiang's mother's feet.
Mother Jiang saw the letter paper, and while bending down to pick it up, she said, "I don't know that Madame is resting, and she has made such a big move?" ”
In a low tone, she tucked the handkerchief in her hand to her waist and looked at the letter in her hand. "What is this? Isn't it a flower poem given to you by the pillar? ”
When Xi Hong heard Jiang's mother say this, her face turned pale, and she waved her hand and said, "No, not at all." How could I have anything to do with the pillars. ”
She was angry, and tears glistened to her aggrieved eyes. "This is the pillar, just came over and said that there is a rough woman at the back door for you."
Mother Jiang looked at Xi Hong's appearance and felt that she didn't look like she was lying, besides, this girl has been with her for a long time, and she is not an ignorant person.
"Then I'll take it in and show Madame, if it's fake, you can be careful." Mother Jiang lifted the corner of her skirt and walked quickly into the yard. Only Xi Hong's eyes were red, and he was holding a copper basin tightly in his arms.
Damn the pillar, this is going to kill her. She stomped her foot angrily, hoping that the content of the letter would not be a flower poem. If so, she is afraid that she will be beaten to death by her wife and thrown into a mass grave.
The pillar that returned to the back door also looked angry, and he stepped forward and kicked open the narrow door, and pushed at the rough woman waiting at the door.
"You get out of the way, uncle, get away. For your sake, the uncle suffered a cold sentence in vain. ”
The woman explained while hiding, "Little brother, I really came to find Mother Jiang, I didn't lie to you." ”
"Hurry up and get out of here." The pillar did not wait for the woman to say any more, and slammed the door shut.
The woman straightened the hat on her head, and her face was full of loss. She looked up at the high courtyard wall again, sighed faintly, and simply sat down on the steps of the door and ate a piece of half-dried steamed bun.
Ling Shuirong yawned softly, and took the letter and looked at it casually. Huo's, her half-squinted eyes suddenly widened, and her pupils constricted. Hurriedly grabbed Jiang's mother's hand, and Jiang's mother couldn't help but take a breath because of her strength.
"Nurse, where did this letter come from, where did this letter come from?" The tone was urgent and excited.
"This, I heard Xi Hong say that it was brought by the pillar, it seems that a rough woman asked him to pass it on to the slave maid." She grabbed Ling Shuirong's hand in the palm of her hand, and there was still a faint pain in her arm.
"Quick, nurse, it's my mother, it's my mother." Her eyes were red, and she spoke incoherently. "It's my mother here, nurse, go to the back door, let's go to the back door to pick up my mother."
Ling Shuirong was so busy putting on her embroidered shoes that she didn't even have time to put on her coat, so she lifted the curtain and was about to rush out the door.
Mother Jiang finally heard a rough idea from Ling Shuirong's intermittent words, and she stepped forward to grab Ling Shuirong, who was a little impulsive. Softly comforted: "Princess, you can't go." Slave and maid go, you listen to the nurse said, Yi Concubine Niangniang came like this, there must be some concerns, since it is said to be my relative, I must not let anyone find out, you go so rashly, it will make the house suspicious. ”
Ling Shuirong listened, her head finally regained her senses, she pushed Jiang's mother's arm, "Nanny, I listen to you, you go, go quickly." Don't let my mother go. ”
She suppressed some joy and excitement, and tears were about to burst out of her eyes.
Jiang's mother walked out of the yard quickly, and she seemed to come to the back door with her feet flying.
The pillar lying on the wooden bench in the cloister saw that Jiang's mother was coming, and hurriedly got up to greet her.
"Open the door, quickly." Zhuzi "chuckled" in his heart, it seemed that the rough woman at the door must be a relative of Jiang's mother, his palms trembled slightly, and he hurriedly opened the narrow door.
Jiang's mother ran to the door and saw the woman who was about to turn out of the alley.
She looked forward to it in her heart, hoping that the woman was really a concubine. "Ma'am, stay, ma'am." Jiang's mother shouted and trotted over.
When the woman raised her head wearing a big hat and looked at her blankly, Jiang's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief and put her mind at ease.
"Mama Jiang", "Madame". The two held each other's hands tightly, and Yi Concubine couldn't help crying with joy.
"It's like seeing you, and my travels in the past few months have finally come to an end."
Mother Jiang took Yi Concubine's hand and looked around, and then led her into the back door quickly.
Yi Concubine was relieved, and she also closed her mouth, followed behind Jiang's mother, and hung her head down.
Miao Zhi sat in Shen Yuqian's garden for a long time and enlightened him well. This kind of work has not stopped since her eldest brother woke up from poisoning.
Just thinking about the matter of looking for an antidote, Ning Er beside her muttered in a low voice, "Miss, isn't that Mother Jiang?" Panicked, who is the person behind him, why haven't I seen it. ”
Miao Zhi looked up, but no, Mother Jiang and the others looked hurried and walked very fast. Indeed, a woman dressed in coarse cloth and wearing a large hat was sandwiched in the middle, and she had never seen it before.
Miao Zhi turned her head, she was really too lazy to worry about it, she didn't have enough to care about Ling Shuirong's affairs, and then turned around and took Ning Er back to her Mandarin Pavilion slowly.
