Chapter Seventy-Eight: Qiu Ju reported to her home
At night, in the room.
"Mom, let me tell you quietly, Mother Xu and Moqi are not dead, and they are now on a village on the outskirts of Beijing." The ink books and paintings were all on duty in Sister Hui's room, and Moqin took the opportunity to whisper to Wang's mother.
"It's good now, I only know that they are not dead, but I don't know what the situation is, but now I know, but I feel a lot more at ease, thank you Bodhisattva for your protection." After speaking, he bowed to the west with his palms folded.
Seeing this, Mother Wang smiled and said, "Bodhisattva compassion naturally blesses good people, and it's not too late for you to come and thank you again." ”
"Mom doesn't seem surprised at all?" Seeing that Wang's mother was still laughing at her, Mo Qin asked.
"I also went to Dingbeihou Mansion with Miss a few days ago, Mrs. Xia recruited Mother Xu and the two to come into the house to meet Miss, I just followed to see Miss, at that time you were waiting outside naturally I don't know, after I came back, I was afraid that the matter was confidential, Miss didn't say let me tell you, I haven't told you."
"Hmph, my mother has been lying to me with the young lady, but it makes me worry day and night." Mochen wrinkled her nose.
Mother Wang smiled faintly and did not speak, and continued to do the needlework at hand.
Mo Qin doesn't really blame Wang's mother, firstly, she is familiar with Wang's mother's temperament, and she is the most cautious and loyal lady, and secondly, they can be regarded as sharing wealth and hardship together from Yizhou to the capital, and they trust her.
She remembered another thing and said: "The letter I sent to Miss today is for Mother Xu, and I asked about Sister Qiu Ju's background, and I heard Miss say that Mother Xu's reply letter said that Qiu Ju was credible. ”
"You can't say that again." Mother Wang immediately said solemnly.
Mo Qin looked at Mother Wang with some doubts, Mother Wang sighed slightly and explained: "Miss also asked me about Qiu Ju's private personality, I guess Miss is afraid that she wants to reuse her, Miss and our young master are not easy in the house, and people like Qiu Ju who are thoughtful about everything have to think about it." ”
"But she's an old lady!" Mo Qin immediately shouted.
was glared at by Wang's mother, and said in her heart, Mo Qin is not as good as Mo Qi in the end, his temperament is not calm, Mo Qi is not there, if he can get Qiu Ju, it is really a great thing, but the risk is also extremely high.
Mother Wang didn't plan to talk to Moqin about Qiu Ju anymore, but asked: "I'm afraid it's going to get hotter next month, and Miss's summer clothes will also start to prepare, have you described all the tricks that Miss said last time?" ”
Mo Qin's mind was a little simpler, and after hearing this, she didn't continue the topic of Qiu Ju, and then talked about Sister Hui'er's new clothes.
But this was heard by a man outside the door.
On the second day, Sister Hui had a whole night's dream, she couldn't sleep well, and woke up just after dawn, and she could already see a little light of the sun in the clouds that were not clear outside, but the moon on the other side had not yet set. Sister Hui didn't bother to get up, dizzy and uncomfortable, so she simply opened her eyes and watched the sunrise in the morning through the window.
The sun will show her face, and the ink painting will push the door in, today she brought a bat yarn around her waist, and the colorful silk threads were knitted delicate and funny, Sister Hui saw it and said: "You are so good-looking, your mind is so clever, let me also make one to play." ”
The ink painting is crisp and vivid, and the smile on his face is as bright and dazzling as the sun that has just come out outside.
Moshu has always been silent, but things are done neatly, and all the toiletries have already been prepared between words, and he stands quietly aside with a handkerchief.
Sister Hui smiled appreciatively at the ink book, but the ink book showed a little cramped smile.
"You've all worked hard all night, so let's go back and rest, and let Moqin and Qiu Ju come over."
The two of them saluted and just bowed and retreated, and then Wen Qiuju pushed the door in.
"Hey, why are you alone, Moqin? Haven't you woken up yet? Sister Hui smiled.
But seeing Qiu Ju close the door, her face was as serious as she had never been, and she knelt down in front of Sister Hui and said, "Before Moqi comes, the slave has something to tell Miss." ”
Sister Hui nodded, followed with a smile, and sat on the couch next to the bed, "You get up and talk, let's talk slowly if there is something." ”
Qiu Ju shook her head and refused.
"Sister Qiu Ju is the person next to the old lady, if there is anything to say, it is a matter of life to kneel like this."
"The next words of the slave maid are a great disrespect to the master, and it is okay to kneel."
When Sister Hui heard this, her mind turned a few times, and she tightened the head flower that was ready to praise her hair in her heart, and adjusted her sitting posture slightly, so she was no longer reluctant, nodded, and motioned to Qiu Ju to say.
Seeing this, Qiu Ju lowered her head and said slowly: "The slave maid was bold last night, overheard the conversation between Wang's mother and Moqin, and heard that the young lady was investigating the slave's past recently. ”
"Yes." Sister Hui stared at the lower half of Qiu Ju's exposed face tightly, and nodded lightly.
"I wonder what Miss has found?"
Sister Hui asked Xu's mother, but Xu's mother said that Qiu Ju's promotion to a first-class maid had been a matter of recent years, and she and the Qin family had already left Beijing at that time. But before coming back, the Qin family checked the people around the old lady, and the other three "autumns" were all born in the family, and this Qiu Ju was given by the old lady's sister-in-law, saying that she would know some massage skills, and the old lady made it comfortable, and saw that she was cautious, and she happened to be equipped with a big girl to go out, and she wanted to choose another one, so she picked her to make up.
"No, I only found out that you were sent to the mansion by Mrs. Dingnan Hou in the twenty-second year of Xihe, and then you came to Anning Houfu for all these years, but I didn't know anything about it before." Sister Hui shook her head and said.
"Naturally, I don't know, because the slave maid Xi and Twenty-two were not called Qiu Ju before, they were called Jin'er, and they were the maidservants of the last Aunt Anning Hou."
"I heard rumors in the house that there are many grandfathers and aunts, I don't know which aunt's maid you are." Sister Hui'er's tone was light, but she was holding a slightly tighter head flower in her hand, showing the tension in her heart.
"Aunt Qiu."
"Oh?"
Now there are several old aunts living behind Shoukangtang, but none of them are surnamed Qiu.
"Miss doesn't know her aunt, and after the death of the marquis, the aunt was ordered to be buried by the old lady." Speaking of accompanying the funeral, Qiu Ju had a sarcastic smile on her face.
If Sister Hui saw it well, there was still unconcealable hatred in those eyes, but she was not sure whether the hatred was acted, so she frowned and continued to ask: "Then how did you escape?" How did you get to the Dingnan Marquis's Mansion? How can you go back into the house and no one will recognize you? How do you want to talk to me about this? ”
"This starts with my aunt's life experience, my aunt's house unfortunately entered the green building, and the mother in the building saw that my aunt had some talent and good appearance, so she trained her to be an oiran. The aunt thought that it would be enough to stray into a life of ups and downs like this, but who knew that the old marquis would appreciate it and redeem herself and enter the house. But the old lady is a jealous housewife, has been suppressing the aunt, the aunt had to ask the mother in the building to help get two girls to serve the old marquis, the old marquis has always been taboo in the wine, the body is getting worse and worse, the old lady is angry with the aunt, to give the aunt to death, but at that time the aunt was pregnant. ”
Sister Hui'er was shocked when she heard this, and asked tentatively: "I don't know what happened to that child?" ”
