Chapter 114 Returning Home to Explain
"Miss, why are you hurt like this? I'm scared to death, you don't know, we have been finding it since yesterday, and even the eldest prince has run out in the middle of the night to look for someone with us! ”
"Huh? Your eldest son is here too? Wasn't last night his wedding night? ”
"But no, the eldest prince is really worried about the second prince and the young lady, how can you be in the mood?"
"Silly girl, who told you to sue the eldest prince? disturbed people's interest, and now people are going to remember me again! ”
"Miss, you wronged the slave maid, it wasn't the slave who said it, the housekeeper was too worried and told the lady, and the news somehow spread to the eldest prince......"
Linglong thought about it, last night was Miao Dandan's wedding night, and she was asked to stay alone in the empty room, she must be so angry that she wanted to hit the wall, right? That's right, we suffer in the wilderness, and if they are still in the mood to spend candles in the cave, God can't look past it.
"Come, Gui Ying, help me, I can't walk anymore!"
"Miss, what's the matter with your feet and legs? And your skirt, and your wrists......"
"His legs and feet were burned by fire, and his wrists were hung by ropes."
"Ah, how so?"
"Well, don't mention it, I'll talk about it later."
Gui Ying carried Linglong down the mountain and went up the official road, there was already a carriage waiting there, accompanied by a pair of soldiers.
"Gui Ying, these are people sent by the government?"
"It's not the government, it's the military camp that was transferred."
"Just a few, I can't beat that group of female thieves."
"Miss, don't worry, Grandpa Guo entered the palace overnight last night to report to the emperor, and the emperor personally ordered to transfer 2,000 people from the guard camp first, and if he can't take it, he will increase the number of people.
This group of bandits has been entrenched here for many years, and they didn't take them seriously in the past, but I didn't expect them to dare to go to the capital to rob people. If you don't completely destroy them this time, no one will be able to sleep well, and there are many people in Beijing who are in a hurry, don't worry! ”
Was it the emperor who ordered the settlement? The group of female thieves is finished here, but ...... I feel that they are not all heinous, such as the woman who has been helping her to speak, and some old and weak women and children, who may also have their own difficulties when they go up the mountain.
Like cornered? Or was it plundered by bandits? Wouldn't it be a shame if they were all killed?
Linglong looked back at the stone wall mountain. That's it. If they dare to go down the mountain to plunder, they must have a way to deal with it, if it is really heinous. It is understandable to be cleared, it is difficult to protect itself, so what are you worried about?
Linglong got into the carriage and returned to Beijing under the escort of a pair of soldiers.
The soldiers escorted Linglong's carriage to the gate of Sufu. Gui Ying stuffed a silver ingot into the leader of the soldiers, thanked them, and sent them away.
Perhaps it was the arrival of the officers and soldiers that alarmed the entire Soviet Mansion. Old Lady Su hurriedly came out with a large group of people, and saw that Linglong was the only one and she was still injured, so she asked in a deep voice:
"Linglong. Where have you been all night? Why are you coming back now? Did you know that everyone didn't sleep all night because of you? ”
Linglong didn't know if Mrs. Su really cared or pretended to belittle herself about this matter? No matter which one it is, she honestly bows her head and admits her mistakes.
The eldest aunt next to him, Zhu Shi, snorted coldly: "A young lady who has not left the cabinet will not return all night." Who knows where you've been all night? If you want outsiders to know, you don't know how to laugh and ridicule? ”
Gui Yingfu Fushen: "Old lady." Ladies and misses, they are all slaves and maids who do not take good care of them, so that the young lady was robbed by a few female thieves, and the slaves and maids are willing to be punished, and please ask the lady to help the young lady ask for a doctor first, the young lady is injured, and the injury will be affected for a long time. ”
"Hmph, you also know that you have made a mistake, such a big mistake, according to the rules, you should pull it down and re-beat the 20th board to sell the house!"
Knowing that the Zhu family would fall into the well, Linglong said lightly: "Auntie, they are my maids, if you want to reward or punish me for my own proportion, I won't worry about my aunt!" ”
Zhu's face changed: "Hmph, the mouth is quite sharp, how does it look like an injury?" ”
Linglong stretched out her arm wrapped around the zongzi, and fished out the hem of her skirt again, seeing her dense gauze with blood stains, everyone frowned and gasped, it looked like she was hurt a lot!
Zhu was also quite surprised, it was really her life to be able to come back safely after being injured like this.
"Grandma, can you let your granddaughter go in first?"
The old lady turned her head sideways and shouted, "Go and ask the imperial doctor to bring the soft sedan chair." ”
Linglong was carried back to Tingfeng Courtyard by a soft sedan chair, and the old lady came with a group of ladies and ladies.
Unable to sit down in the hall, Linglong asked the maids and maids to move the stools to the courtyard, and then asked the doctor to untie the gauze on his arms and calves in front of everyone, so that everyone could see it clearly, lest someone say that I was pretending to be crazy and stupid.
Although it was bandaged with medicinal herbs yesterday, it was still a heart-rending pain to untie it again, just like someone who tore off a layer of skin from his body in life, Linglong's face turned pale in pain, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the doctor asked the maid to take a handkerchief for Linglong to bite, so as not to bite off his tongue in a hurry.
The bloody wounds on the arms and calves made everyone close their eyes and twist their heads, but Mrs. Su was still calm.
She stood beside Linglong and asked, "Doctor, how is this injury?" How long will it take to get better? ”
"It's okay on the wrist, it should be strangled, and it is bandaged for ten days and half a month, and it will slowly get better. Just this ...... on the leg It's a burn! So strict zhòng! Did the young lady fall into a fire pit? ”
Everyone couldn't bear to look at the wound, but they all pointed their ears to listen to the doctor's words, Gui Ying said: "Doctor, this is indeed a burn, you can heal it." ”
Mrs. Su asked, "Doctor, can this injury on my leg be healed within a month?" ”
"This ...... It's hard to say. ”
"Can you walk on the ground?"
"It's definitely not good to go to the ground, and my feet are also injured, and all the skin is peeling, and if you want the new skin to grow, you have to wait for it to grow strong before walking."
"How long will it take to walk?"
"It's going to take two or three months, right?"
Some people secretly gloated when they heard this, and Mrs. Su frowned: "How can this be done, this girl's family affair is just a month later, doctor, can you think of a way?" ”
"Old lady, this wound has a time to heal, not that it can grow immediately if it grows!"
"What then? How do you go to church like this? ”
Gui Ying said: "Old lady, the second son won't mind." ”
"How do you know? You're not the second son? Zhu muttered uncomfortably and kindly: "If it were me, I would know that she didn't return overnight." Immediately divorced, who knows where she went that night? ”
"Big daughter-in-law!" Old Mrs. Su reprimanded with a cold face, Zhu wiped the corners of her mouth, turned her head and muttered, "I'm not wrong." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere here was not right, the doctor didn't ask much, so he left a plaster for the prescription and asked a little maid to go back with him to get the medicine. Then he hurried away.
Now there are no outsiders. Old Mrs. Su also had no scruples, and said with a sinking face: "Linglong, you say." What the hell is going on? ”
The old lady would definitely ask this, Linglong had already prepared, and went through the process of drafting several drafts in her heart.
The old lady was surprised when she heard this: "Linglong, you said that you have been with Liang Ergongzi last night?" ”
"Yes. Grandmother. ”
"Huh~~ How can it be so coincidental? Make up a story and don't make a draft? In case people don't admit it, I see who you go to? ”
Linglong pursed his lips and squinted at Zhu: "Auntie." Do you wish I had a bad reputation? What's in it for you if I have a bad reputation? Don't forget that Sister Xuan'er is about to enter the palace draft, if my reputation is bad, she will also be dragged down, this shouldn't be the result you want, right? ”
"What nonsense. How can you compare to my Xuan'er? My Xuan'er is going to enter the palace to be a mother! ”
"Hasn't she entered the palace yet? It's useless to say anything if you don't pick a draft. ”
"You...... Okay, you're a little vixen, you're not clean and you can't wait to pull others into the water, what kind of heart do you have? ”
"That's exactly what I want to ask my aunt for reads; You keep saying that I didn't return all night, and you explained to you that you still made irresponsible remarks. What kind of heart do you have peace with? ”
"You ......"
"Okay, okay, shut up!" Mrs. Su raised her voice and stopped the two: "Look at yourself, the elders are not like the elders, the juniors are not like the juniors, what does it look like to quarrel in front of the subordinates?" ”
The two squinted at each other, then snorted coldly at the same time.
Mrs. Su said in a deep voice: "Daughter-in-law, are you very idle?" You don't do so many things in the house, why are you here to join in the fun? ”
Zhu was criticized by name and was very unconvinced: "Mother, we worried about her all night, come over to see if she is at fault?" ”
"Okay, the person is back, I've seen it, I'll discuss this matter with his mother, what should you do!"
Zhu was so angry that he glared at Linglong fiercely, flicked his sleeves and rushed out of the door.
As soon as the Zhu family left, the courtyard was much cleaner, and the old lady sent someone out of the house to invite Linglong's mother Song back.
Linglong is wondering, why she hasn't seen her mother since she came back, it turns out that she doesn't know yet! It's better that way, so that she doesn't worry about it.
In the gap of waiting, Zhihua took the ointment and came back to medicate and bandage Linglong, Linglong's mother Song had not yet come, but someone first informed the second son of Liang Mansion to come, and brought a lot of gifts to apologize.
Mrs. Su glanced at Linglong, and finally relieved herself, Liang Ergongzi came in person, so what this girl said was probably true.
Now it's okay, originally she was still thinking about how to explain to the Liang Mansion? It's a pity if this family affair doesn't work out, if this kind of thing happens, Liang Mansion really wants to retreat, there is no way, she has thought about it, Liang Mansion retreats from Linglong, and Lingxuan will be pushed up, and if it doesn't work, it's not bad that his mother's brother and granddaughter are not bad, in short, they must not let such a family affair be yellow.
Of course, it is better for the Liang family not to retreat, and it will save a lot of trouble.
Old Lady Su stood up: "Linglong, since you are injured, rest well, and go to see the second son of Liang." ”
"Congratulations to grandma."
As soon as Mrs. Su left, everyone else followed Hulala, and the crowded courtyard suddenly quieted down.
Linglong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Liang Er's gang was still righteous, and he couldn't tell if he didn't come with his eight mouths.
"Granddaughter, granddaughter? Are you there? ”
Linglong looked up and saw two rickety old ladies standing at the door, one with a black scarf covering his head, and the other with dizzy eyes and trembling walking.
Old aunt and ghost mother-in-law, why did they come out?
There is a patio behind the main house of Tingfeng Yuan, and there are several rooms in it, since the old aunt and the ghost mother-in-law got together, they get along very well, walk in the patio every day, or sit together and chat, and go back to the house to rest together at night, just like a pair of close old sisters.
Usually they rarely go out, Linglong almost forgot about them, why did they come out today?
"Gui Ying, quick, help Grandma and Ghost Granny sit down reads;!"
The ghost mother-in-law refused: "No need, the old woman can see it." ”
The two sat on Linglong's side, and the old aunt stared at Linglong for a long time, and she didn't know if she could see it clearly?
"Granddaughter, did you have a guest just now? I heard the voice as if it was Madame, did he come? ”
The lady that the old aunt said was naturally Mrs. Su.
"Yes, she came and went? Is grandma looking for her? ”
"No, no, I haven't heard her voice in years, I wonder if I should come to say hello when she comes?"
Linglong frowned slightly, the old aunt has been pressed obediently by Mrs. Su all her life, and when she is old, she is like this and wants to say hello to her, the old aunt's thoughts are really not understandable, is this what people call servility?
Linglong shook his head secretly: "Grandma, she doesn't remember that you live here, so you don't need to greet her." ”
"Don't remember?" The old aunt said this very slowly, her eyes were scattered and she looked ahead, and she didn't know what she was doing? What are you thinking?
Zhihua wanted to go over to call her, Linglong shook his head and said in a low voice: "Don't disturb her, she will naturally speak when she wants to." ”
Zhishu and Gui Ying carefully bandaged Linglong's wounds, and the ghost mother-in-law on the side kept watching but didn't speak.
After the last bit of gauze was finished, Gui Ying said: "Miss, the doctor said, you have to change the dressing on your arms and legs every day, and you can't get wet or force, so you can give birth these days!" The slave will buy a wheelchair later, and it will be convenient for the young lady to go anywhere. ”
"Wheelchair? And this kind of thing? ”
"Yes, our old lady can still go up the steps and push it by himself, but it's convenient!"
Linglong secretly sighed, things are really advanced in this era.
"Granddaughter, when will your father come back?" The old aunt suddenly spoke again!
Linglong raised his eyes to look at her, and saw that she was looking at her side, and her eyes were still not focused: "Grandma, don't worry, my father is already on his way back to Beijing, and he will arrive in a few days. ”
The old aunt thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is Zhengli'er, my Bingren is the most filial, when I was a child, I went to a banquet, and I would secretly bring some candy and pastries back for me to eat, that sugar is so sweet, so sweet that my heart melts!" ……”
The old aunt began to mumble about her father's childhood again, Linglong couldn't listen to these things, and when she heard it, she couldn't help but feel sad and wanted to shed tears, and even inexplicably hated Mrs. Su in her heart.
Seeing that Linglong's face was not good-looking, the ghost mother-in-law persuaded in a low voice: "Old sister, your granddaughter is sleepy and has to rest, let's go back to the house and talk slowly, this time I'll talk about Bingren's schooling, okay?" ”
The old aunt was immediately happy: "Okay, good, my family Bingren is the best at reading!" ”
"Yes, yes, I know, come, let's talk as we go."
The ghost mother-in-law helped the old aunt to get up and walk out, looking at their old figures, listening to their slowly nostalgic voices, Linglong felt very uncomfortable, she turned around and asked:
"Gui Ying, can you find out my father's news?" (To be continued)
