Chapter 41: The Human Heart
At this time, it is not feasible to lead people in the courtyard to make a decision, and it is even more impossible for a few people to slip out unconsciously like the previous two times.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Jiang raised his eyes and looked at Mama Han and said, "Mama asked where she is from, and if she has any parents and relatives?" ”
The topic suddenly turned around, and Mama Han was stunned for a moment: "The old slave asked, this person said that the family was a farmer with rolling land, and her parents disliked her for being pickled and dirty, and couldn't do the work, so they drove her out" After saying this, she was confused and said, "What is the lady asking about this?" ”
Xie Jiang's black and white eyes flashed a few times in the dim candlelight, and he said softly: "When the ninth prince sees such a person, there will be two results, one is to kill the person if he thinks he has lost face; The second is to send people back with generosity, neither of which is the purpose of my sending her."
At this point, it seems that the turn is even bigger, and Mama Han is getting more and more confused.
Xie Jiang's voice was soft and soft, as if he was explaining and as if he was speculating to himself, "There are parents and brothers at home to rely on, and in a critical moment, I will be timid and beg for mercy because of a way out, and vice versa······ This person has no way to survive and is in a desperate situation, and he will definitely do everything possible to grab the straw of the ninth prince" Speaking of this, she looked at Mama Han with burning eyes, "I want her to stay with her ability, and the ninth prince will force a crescent moon, and I will send him a sticky one that can't be thrown away······ Sun"
"Proud ······ Sun? Mama Han seemed to drop her jaw.
"Hmmm! Just call it this name," Xie Jiang showed two small dimples on his cheeks, "Mama, give these to that ······ Jiaoyang made it clear that she was willing for us to send her there, and if she didn't want to, we wouldn't mind having more than one person eat."
Xie Jiang's words were very refreshing, but Mama Han pondered for a long time before she came up with the meaning, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Does the lady want the old slave to explain to her the power of this, and let her decide for herself?" ”
"Yes" Xie Jiang's two eyes were dim, as if they were in their chests and seemed to be determined, "It's up to her to choose, so that she can go all out when doing things, and she can only be loyal and have no resentment" After saying this, she held Mama Han's slightly rough palm and sighed, "I've been in the house for most of my life, don't I know the difference between being forced and being willing?" ”
Mama Han noticed that her back seemed to be sweating again, so she hurriedly got up and saluted: "Yes, the old slave will go as soon as it is dawn, and then come back to the lady after asking clearly."
Xie Jiang covered his mouth and yawned, and said with a smile: "I have been in and out too many times, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of others, I have nine layers of certainty that she is willing to go to the side of the Splendid Prince." Mama doesn't have to come back to report, just look at the arrangement."
A homeless person has leprosy again, not to mention finding a job to make ends meet. Now that she is waiting for death, when she sees Mama Han, she will definitely catch it, not to mention going to a wealthy family to be a maidservant, even if it is dangerous, it is a trivial matter compared to starving to death and freezing to death. Xie Jiang calculated that she would agree.
The wind-blown window lattice "rattled", and the light and shadow flickered, and Mama Han said softly: "The old slave understands what the lady means, and the old slave retires."
"Mama go" Xie Jiang and his clothes shrunk into the quilt, and vaguely ordered, "Don't call me tomorrow, Mama can stay up all night today······ The second half of the sentence became an almost inaudible mutter. Mama Han looked at the half of the little face that showed the quilt, couldn't help but sigh lowly, and turned around and walked out of the inner room.
After dawn, the house really became nervous, and the woman who guarded the door cleaned the courtyard, together with the maid in the west courtyard, were all carried to the stone house by the steward.
There was silence in the wisteria courtyard, Han Mama and Beidou went to the back alley, and Yujing Hantang sat under the porch with a bamboo dustpan to do needlework. Just took a few stitches, the courtyard door "woo" sounded twice, Yujing glanced at Hantang, the tip of the needle leaned towards the door, and muttered in a low voice, "Is someone coming?" Can I hear what the food delivery Fu said······ The women sweeping the floor, the grandmothers and girls in the west courtyard are all locked up, and the head of the Wang family is asking questions one by one······"
Before the words were finished, the door panel rang twice, and a girl pinched her throat and shouted: "Hey, open the door, I'm Wei Zi······"
Wei Zi originally obeyed Cui's family, and was later transferred to Wang Fu's courtyard as a personal maid. Hantang put the dustpan on Yujing's lap, got up and said: "Don't say nonsense, even if the aunt and wife are not at home, the head of the Wang family will not call the people of the Wisteria Academy, not to mention this kind of thing, I will go and see, I want to come to the eldest lady to find the lady if she has something."
Hantang took a few steps and pulled the latch, and as soon as the door was half opened, Wei Zi squeezed in, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you, Ayuan guarding the door?" ”
"It was said that the eldest man in the family was sick, and the lady allowed her to go back" Hantang replied casually, while stretching his neck and shin to look outside, "Come in first, come in and talk about it"
When Wei Zi entered the courtyard, Hantang bolted the door again, looked back at her and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the eldest lady asking you to come?" ”
The door of the outer hall was closed, but the girl was sitting at the door doing needlework, obviously the master was inside, Wei Zi naturally knew what was going on, and did not ask to see Xie Jiang, raised his hand to cover half of his mouth and muttered to Hantang: "The eldest lady asked me to give Xie Niangzi a message······ Last night, the people who went to the west courtyard really bumped into a man in Xue Ji's room."
What I have done in the past two days, although Xie Jiang did not say it to the three girls, Hantang also vaguely guessed a few points, plus Han Mama and Xinyue went out for less than a while in the middle of the night last night, and the people in the west courtyard were on fire and shouted that the dog jumped, and this girl was clear in her heart. But I knew in my heart that it was one thing, and I had to make a surprised look, and when I heard this, Hantang covered my mouth and said, "Oops······ How could this happen? ”
Wei Zi did not doubt him, and whispered: "This matter was seen by the servant woman in our courtyard first, so the eldest lady went to see the head of the house first."
Let's not talk about whether it bumped into anything or not, the servant woman who served Wang Fu would actually touch the west courtyard in the middle of the night, this needs a reasonable explanation, and if the explanation is not good, Wang Yan will doubt the authenticity of Xue Ji's private meeting with the man at night.
Hantang suppressed his voice and asked, "That... What is the big lady going to say? ”
Wei Zi beckoned to Yujing: "You come too, both of you will listen, and you don't have to learn when you learn words."
Originally, the two of them were standing in the courtyard and muttering quietly, Yujing got up and walked to the door to control the wind, and at this time, seeing Wei Zi beckoning, he hurriedly turned three steps into two steps and rushed over. Wei Zi whispered, "The eldest lady said······ Recently, I have heard a servant woman preaching······ I saw a figure going to Xue Ji's courtyard in the middle of the night, so I sent a servant woman to take a look at it at night, but I didn't expect that Gu Ran really had such a thing."
After growing up in the family for more than ten years, Wang Fu naturally knows that if he wants people to believe lies, he must have ten percent of the truth. p; Pro, Nalan begged for clicks, begged for collections, begged for tickets...... Whew
