Chapter 4: Two Worlds
The Chen family was so tired that he fell asleep, and the only thing Jiang Rujin could trust in this Jiang Mansion was Cuiping.
It wasn't until noon that the old lady assigned Mama Jin to come over and say a few polite words, roughly saying that there are still funerals and children in the house that are not suitable for publicity, and then there is no follow-up.
So many busy maids in the courtyard in the early morning have left, and even the little maid assigned by the old lady before has disappeared.
Jiang Rujin and Cui Ping both understood in their hearts that now that the Chen family had given birth to a child, everything was a foregone conclusion, and there was no need to keep the maid here.
Now that the whole courtyard is behind Cuiping, she is busy alone, Jiang Rujin can only take the child to the mourning hall to burn paper, and Cuiping has to take care of the Chen family and take time to take care of the child.
Jiang Rujin put the last piece of fire paper into the brazier and stood up, Cuiping walked around the mourning hall with the child in his arms, and muttered anxiously: "Miss, slave maid, go back to see if Madame has woken up, the little boy has not eaten since he was born." ”
Jiang Rujin is also very anxious, but it is useless to be anxious now, Chen can't feed the child if he doesn't wake up, and she doesn't dare to feed the baby who has just been born.
Biting his lip, he felt very uncomfortable: "The fire paper is gone, and I have asked the little maid to get it since noon, but now the time is not short, not only the fire paper has not been taken back, but even the little maid doesn't know where to go." ”
Now there is no one in the yard, Cui Ping is not worried about being heard and complaining: "It's not the old lady's intention, isn't it just that there is no one who can call the shots in our yard now, if the old lady is still there, the old lady will definitely not do this, miss, what should we do, now the lady has no one to take care of us, there are only three of us adults and one child left in the yard, and now the old man's funeral has not been completed, so he snubbed us, if he continues to live, ......." ”
Cui Ping's worries are not unreasonable, Jiang Rujin also understands that the old lady has now begun to premeditate to drive them away, but I am afraid that the big move is still to come.
smiled bitterly in her heart, but her face pretended to be calm, now that her mother has not woken up, she is now the only person in this room who can call the shots, if she starts to mess up, things will be difficult to do.
took the child from Cuiping's arms and began to coax it, deliberately not looking at Cuiping and said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover up the matter that can be solved, even if the old lady hates us again, now that my father has died, my mother's birth is a big thing, I don't believe that she can still ignore us in the end, now it's just because she wants to give us a horse, my mother used to have my father to love...... It's just that now we are the only ones left, and we must be careful and not careless at every step in the future. ”
Cui Ping can feel the changes in this mansion even if he is dull, too many things have happened in their courtyard in just a few days, not to mention how Jiang Tianan died, just to say that Jiang Rujin fell into the water and the Chen family fell in a pool of blood, these things are suspicious.
It's just that where is there so much energy to ask about these things now, and now life needs to be carefully tread on thin ice, and the old lady is more and more obvious to them.
When the two of them carried the child over, Chen had already woken up, and Chen, who had just woken up, was pale and weak, and the whole person looked like he was sick and pitiful.
Jiang Rujin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Chen wake up, and saw that Chen wanted to stand up and hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Mother, you lie down quickly, I'll just bring my brother over." She handed the infant child to Chen.
Chen held the child and looked at the child's little face very gently, and said happily: "Look at your brother's little face, it really looks like your father." ”
It was originally a happy thing, but now when it comes to the deceased Jiang Tian'an, Chen instantly became sad and muttered: "It's a pity that your father has passed away, and I don't have time to take a look at your brother." ”
Jiang Rujin moved the stool to the side of the bed, sat on it and gently blew the chicken soup that Cuiping had just served, looked at Chen and said seriously: "Mother, there is no way to change the fact that my father has gone, this is ...... You also know that the dead are left in their hearts, and the living always have to think about how to live, originally the mother woke up and the daughter should not tell the mother about these troubles, but now the only one who can call the shots in our yard is the mother, and the daughter has to say. ”
These are the words that she hesitated in her heart for a long time and finally planned to say, Chen's temperament is too weak, although he is very strong in his bones, but he is only strong when he provokes her, and she feels that she can tolerate things very tolerant on weekdays.
She just wanted Chen to be strong and make up her mind to get out of this cannibalistic hole as soon as possible.
Chen's heart tightened, and he looked at Jiang Rujin with a worried face and asked timidly, "What happened to Rujin again?" ”
In the distance, there was the sound of piano and pipa, and bursts of laughter, which seemed like two worlds compared to their bleak courtyard.
Jiang Rujin glanced at the direction of the door and smiled bitterly: "Mother is honest, we are not in a good situation now, I am afraid that the people outside think that we will all die in this courtyard, the incense wax paper candles on Dad's mourning hall are almost running out, the little maid and the maids who were busy last night are gone after you gave birth to the child, and the matter of the incense wax paper candle has also been spread, Cuiping also went in person, but it has not been sent until now, mother, what did you do when you got up so late yesterday?" ”
After the last sentence was asked, Jiang Rujin felt that the space was about to be solidified.
Chen's expression changed completely as if he was frightened, and his eyes widened and looked at Jiang Rujin in horror.
It seemed that a long time had passed, and it didn't seem to have been long, Jiang Rujin looked at Chen in a daze, she saw the fear in Chen's eyes, but gradually Chen returned to his normal explanation: "Mother just accidentally slipped and fell, Rujin, you go to find your grandfather in person, now the only person in the house who can help us is your grandfather, after all, your father is his grandson, he can't ignore it." ”
Jiang Rujin stood up and glanced at Chen worriedly: "Mother, you feed your brother, just rest well, and your daughter will come back in a while." ”
She turned around and took a red cloak and draped it over her body, greeted Cuiping and walked out of the courtyard.
The small courtyard where they live is only one of the many small courtyards in Jiang's Mansion, it is not a big location or a good location, the only good thing is that it is relatively close to the garden, and their courtyard is in the north and the old lady Jiang lives in the east.
She glanced at the most lively south, and then went to the courtyard of Old Lady Jiang without looking back.
She had to find Mrs. Jiang quickly.
