Happy Juneteenth~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The horse meat brought back from outside was enough for the two Hui Ya and the four members of the Dong family to eat for a long time. Because of the size of the Dong family, the attitude towards Mama Zheng and Huiya has become more and more respectful.

In the afternoon of the same day, Mama Zheng took out the pen and ink and other things that were packed up from the carriage, and prepared to give a letter to the master and uncle of the Zhao family in the capital, but she didn't know many words, and she was anxious in the house.

"Mama, what's wrong with you?" After Huiya finished eating, she felt that her stomach was not holding up, so she came back from two circles in the courtyard of the Dong family, and just happened to see her grandmother on the ground and remember the appearance of the group.

"Little Miss, Mama is thinking that while we have just arrived here, we still have some silver, so we have to quickly find someone to carry the letter to the capital, if the letter can't be done......" Mama Zheng is not very good at writing, so she is in a hurry, and her speech is a little incompatible.

"Mama wants to write a letter and send it to Beijing?" Although Huiya didn't know what Mama wanted to say at this time, with her own experience, this was the time to write a letter to Jingli to report her safety, and by the way, someone from the central government would come to pick it up.

However, although Hui Ya knew where the Zhao family, who was the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division ten years later, did not know the address of her grandfather, who was now the commander of the soldiers and horses in the South City.

But this letter writing is much safer than himself and Mama Zheng taking some unknown hunters into Beijing, and this letter in the previous life is also useful. Huiya thought about it, so she simply walked to the small kang table, picked up the brush on it, dipped it in ink, and then brushed the letter on the spread out rice paper.

"Little Miss, you write so well!" Mama Zheng looked at Hui Ya and wrote the letter after a while, and the neat words on it were almost the same as the words of the eldest young master she saw on weekdays, and she suddenly said in amazement.

"I learned from my brother!" Huiya raised her little face proudly and said seriously, but she remembered her brother who was two years older than herself.

When I was a child, my brother who accompanied me to catch dragonflies and play with butterflies, my brother who taught me to write one by one, and my brother who broke his leg because he was framed by his stepmother and could no longer develop in his career...... Thinking of this, Huiya's heart was heavy and sour.

Although Mama Zheng is Huiya's mother-in-law Zheng's grandmother, she is not close to Huiya on weekdays, after all, Zheng's is still there, and Huiya also has a brother-in-law, Zhao Huishan. On weekdays, Mama Zheng mostly accompanies the Zheng family, and takes care of Huishan and Huiya when she has time.

When Mama Zheng and Huiya sat in the same carriage when the accident happened this time, mainly because Huiya's brother-in-law Huishan had a fever on the road, Zheng took him to take care of him closely, and was afraid that something would happen to Huiya at a young age, so he asked Mama Zheng to take care of him.

Mama Zheng thought of her hard-working young lady, and then looked at the little young lady sitting on the kang, and couldn't help wiping her tears. He put his hands together and prayed silently to the west, hoping that his young lady would be safe, and the letter that was ready to ask for help and report safety could also be sent to the capital smoothly and delivered to the Zhao family.

Huiya gently dried the ink on the letter, and when she raised her eyes, she saw her grandmother's hands folded and chattering, and she felt a little funny in her heart, but she felt very heartwarming. Whether it is in the past life or in this life, thanks to the loyal old mother Zheng, she can keep herself from falling into the wilderness in the most difficult time.

A faint smile appeared on Huiya's face, and seeing that Mama Zheng had finished chattering, she blinked her eyes and asked, "Mama, where are we going to send this letter?" Grandfather, although they are in the capital, the capital should be very big, right? ”

"Little Miss, don't worry, this letter can be sent to Pine Alley. In previous years, the young lady asked me to help the big housekeeper with the festival gifts sent to Beijing, and it is said that the place where it was delivered was Pine Alley. When Mama Zheng said this, her face was quite proud, and her face was full of wrinkles because of her smile, and the white and chubby old man looked very kind.

"Pine Alley? It's great to know the place! Hui Ya's eyes lit up when she heard the news. In my previous life, the place where I lived was Pine Hutong, and if the festivals in previous years were sent to Pine Hutong, it means that for so many years, the Zhao family has not moved, and if they don't move, they won't be able to find a place to send letters, which is really good.

Huiya wrote the envelope neatly, and then stuffed the dried letter paper into the envelope, there were no candles in the mountain, so she found a little rice left over from lunch to use as paste to seal the envelope.

At this time, Mama Zheng also took out a silver coin from her purse, which weighed about five coins, and Mama Zheng was ready to use this silver as a fee, so that Dong Da could find a way to send the letter to the capital.

Mama Zheng is a person who does things, and when she thought of it, she was going to do it immediately, so she immediately talked to Dong Da about it. Dong Da looked at it as just sending a letter and taking silver, and if there was an echo of this letter and more silver, he naturally agreed willingly, even if he took the envelope and went out.

Seeing Dong Da leave and settling down with all kinds of things brought back from the carriage, Mama Zheng's high heart was relieved. When I relaxed like this, I felt surprisingly tired, and I only felt that my legs seemed to be filled with lead, and my body was very heavy.

"Mama, what's wrong with you?" Huiya is not a simple little girl, after seeing Mama Zheng's excitement dissipated, her face turned slightly yellow, and she looked a little depressed, and she couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm a little tired after a busy day, and it's good for Mama to sleep." Mama Zheng smiled at Hui Ya, looking at the sky, it was not too early, she took an old brocade quilt, spread it against the kang tip, and lay the kimono on it.

"Mama sleep for a while, and if the little lady is fine, lie down for a while." As soon as Mama Zheng lay down, she felt as if the world was spinning, and she immediately couldn't stand it, and said a word to Huiya, and fell asleep a little groggy.

Huiya was not really a little girl, and it was not a big deal to stay in the house for a while, so after thinking about it, she began to toss the things that Mama had brought back. I found the flower bandage and embroidery thread that my mother used to pass the time for me, and looked at the messy green leaves embroidered on it, and couldn't help but bend the corners of my mouth.

Pick up the embroidery needle casually, and slowly embroider the flowers according to the appearance in your memory, so that your fingers, which are not flexible, slowly adapt to the embroidery skills, and the time will pass little by little.

It wasn't until the sky was getting dark, and Mrs. Dong brought a small oil lamp, that Hui Ya suddenly realized that a long time had passed.

Turning her head to look at Mama who was lying on the kang and sleeping deeply, Huiya's heart suddenly swelled up with a little bad feeling, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to probe Mama's forehead, but found that Mama Zheng's forehead was hot, and it was actually a fever.

I was too careless! Huiya couldn't help but blame herself secretly, in her previous life, her grandmother was sick, and now she is hot again, what can I do!
