Chapter 160, Abandonment
Leaving the eldest lady's Zhuangzi and returning to his own grange, Mu Chenxue had a good dream for a long time. If www.biquge.info hadn't gone back to the eldest lady's Zhuangzi to act the next day, she would have to sleep until three o'clock in the morning and wouldn't get up.
"Fanghua, go back today, but remember what to say and what not to say!" Yesterday before going to bed, she had already instructed Fanghua. This is just a reminder not to forget.
"Yes, the slave and maid remembered it, and said that Jiang's mother's thatched hut was very dilapidated, but Aunt Cheng was sick and didn't want to go back to make trouble for the lord and Mrs., so she persuaded the young lady to follow Aunt Ma and them back to the city together!" Fanghua helped the master get dressed, and at the same time learned the master's instructions again.
Modern people often say, "If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate." "Fortunately, compared to Ma and the third sister, Fanghua has been following her for a long time, and she has learned a lot. Nodding slightly, he looked at Baoru on the side, "Baoru, wait a minute to send us to Zhuangzi, you and Tong Jiang will drive to pick up grandma first, and when grandma is sent to the grange, you can pick me up again!" ”
"Yes, Miss Maku, rest assured, the slave and maid will live up to their mission!" It's only two hours back and forth, and there are people from the prince of the county who secretly protect each other, even if she encounters disaster victims, Miss Maku will not have any accidents. After breakfast, a few people set off in a hurry.
Early this morning, the subordinates of the county prince had already returned to the city to deliver a letter to the master, but it was faster than Baoru's movements. So after Nangong Xun got the news, he first set off to see the morning snow outside the city.
Tong Jiang rushed the car and first sent Mu Chenxue back to the post road in front of the eldest lady's Zhuangzi, and Baoru escorted people into the Zhuangzi all the time, and then went to the nunnery with Tong Jiang to pick up the old lady. The people of the county prince thought that Baoru was just a subordinate of Miss Maku's Grange, so they didn't suspect it. This gave Baoru an identity to stay by Mu Chenxue's side in a grand manner.
Xu, Ma and the other three almost didn't sleep all night, staying by the fire cage in the side hall, and finally didn't get sick from freezing that night. But after being hungry all night, I didn't even drink hot water in the morning, and a few people could still sit and stay, pacing back and forth in the side hall.
It's easy to expect someone to come back, but there are only the fifth sister and Fanghua, and the Ma family is the first to sit still, "What does Aunt Cheng mean by this?" If such a big thing happens, why do you have to send a letter to the master! ”
Mu Chenxue looked at the black and green under the eyes of the three of them, and knew that they hadn't slept all night, so she sat down unhurriedly, "Auntie was in a hurry last night, maybe she caught a cold from the wind, and she got up a little hot this morning, so she couldn't rush over." I asked Jiang's mother to stay and take care of her, and I planned to take Fanghua into the city to ask my aunt for a doctor. I went to tell my father, did Aunt Ma think there was anything wrong? ”
"Then why didn't Brother Jiu'er come?" The eldest lord still has some affection for this little son, Xu and Ma originally planned to let the ninth brother intercede, so that the eldest lord will allow them to return home.
"The ninth brother saw that his aunt was sick, and insisted on staying to take care of him, as an elder sister, I can't touch his filial piety, what do you say?" glanced at the third sister again, and then looked at Aunt Ma.
The son's heart was painful for his biological mother, and Aunt Ma couldn't find anything, so she had to sit down indignantly. "There are no carriages and horses, so don't you want us to walk back to the city?" Aunt Xu thought that Mama Jiang's family would at least have a donkey cart or something. But she noticed that the fifth sister and Fanghua were covered with snow on their feet when they entered the door, and even their shoes and socks were wet.
"Even if we leave, we have to go back to the city. There is not even a grain of food or a bed here, so you can't stay here to starve to death or die of exhaustion! "In fact, there is no grain on this village, but it is not without beds. There are more kangs in the outer courtyard or in the lower room, as long as you are willing to light the stove and light the fire, you can also sleep on people. It's just that these three people are used to being pampered, so how can they be willing to live in a human room.
After a few people were arguing, Fanghua said on the side, "Miss, you should also go back to the shogunate, Aunt Cheng is not feeling well, and she doesn't want to go back to trouble the lord and lady, but you are the young lady of the shogunate, how can you live in such a dilapidated thatched hut!" ”
Although Mu Chenxue pretended to be tired, there was no black and blue at the moment, Xu and Ma thought that the fifth sister and their life at Jiang's mother's house were better than their own. After listening to Fanghua's words, the two looked at each other and smiled, and looked at the fifth sister disappreciatively.
"Let's ask the doctor to see my aunt first, and I'll talk about the rest later!" Mu Chenxue did not immediately refuse, otherwise it would definitely arouse the suspicion of the two again. The few people argued for another hour, but no result came to an end.
The third sister just wanted to go back to the house, and when she saw that she couldn't fight for anything, she only urged Aunt Ma to leave early, and she didn't want to stay in this village anymore.
Several people had to walk out of Zhuangzi together and head towards the city gate. On weekdays, several people rarely go out, and even if they do, they take a carriage, where they have walked such a long way. And the road was full of stones and potholes, and it was covered by snow so that it could not be seen clearly. This is one foot deep and one foot shallow, and several people are wearing embroidered shoes, although the bottom is thick, but it is also separated by the raw pain, frozen cold. The third sister walked on the post road, and refused to go any further.
"Where is this road walked, auntie, I can't walk with a sore foot!" Ma has also been pampered over the years, and he can't walk anymore, let alone his daughter. Xu wanted to insist, after all, only by returning to the city could he have food to live.
Mu Chenxue squatted on the ground by Fang Hua and beat her legs, "Fifth Miss, you haven't eaten anything, you are in a hurry before dawn, and you have walked so far at this time, I am afraid that your feet are swollen!" "Fanghua is just putting on a show, this is all a play rehearsed by Miss Five, she just follows along.
Mu Chenxue pretended to be in pain, and kept sighing, "Aunt Xu, I really can't walk, why don't you go first, don't delay the hour, I'll rest and leave!" ”
The third sister saw that the fifth sister couldn't walk, but she was more energetic, and she pulled Aunt Ma and insisted on walking back to the city immediately, "Fifth sister, it's not that the third sister doesn't take you, it's that you don't fight yourself, so you can't walk after taking these two steps." Don't worry, when I return home, I will definitely ask my father to send a car to pick you up! ”
The third sister said so, but what she thought in her heart was that it was best to let Mu Chenxue freeze to death on the road. For the third sister's careful thoughts, Mu Chenxue doesn't know where she will be. looked at a few people with a grateful face, "There are two aunts, you must help us with a message, my aunt is still sick, I don't want to be angry, I really can't walk." Please ask my father to invite a doctor, go to Jiang's mother's house to show my aunt, if you can take us home, then it will be the best! ”
What her daughter is thinking, of course Ma knows, seeing that the fifth sister said this, she believes that Aunt Cheng is really sick. I couldn't help but be happy, she wouldn't tell her master these words, it was best for Aunt Cheng to be ill. The last few people threw the master and servant of Mu Chenxue on the post road, and walked towards the county seat with their skirts.
When everyone left, Mu Chenxue pulled Fanghua at this time, "I think you can act better than Aunt Ma!" ”
"That's the young lady's play is well rehearsed, the slave is just learning from you!" The master and servant chatted for a while, and then saw Tong Jiang rushing to the car, pulling Baoru to hurry up. (To be continued.) )
