Chapter 60: The Messenger
The fifth lady sneered, knowing that this could be regarded as offending the big kitchen from top to bottom, so she hurriedly explained: "It's not that the big kitchen food is late, it's that the granddaughter thinks that the food sent by the big kitchen is not as delicious as yours, so I said that my grandmother doesn't care about me, and the third sister is left alone to eat delicious!" ”
The fifth lady still wanted to redeem herself, but the old lady had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "I have eaten a lot, and your third sister swore in front of the Bodhisattva, saying that she would be vegetarian for forty-nine days, so as to bless your grandfather with a triumphant return!" If you can eat white porridge and vegetarian dishes, come and eat them! ”
Fifth Miss doesn't like to eat white porridge and vegetables, Yun Xiangrong came over, and the old lady didn't really let Yun Xiangrong eat so lightly, knowing that Yun Xiangrong had a face in front of the old lady, Fifth Miss pouted and said in her heart: See how many days you can be happy! Others don't know, but she knows about things outside, I really didn't expect that Xiao Gongzi is still a wonderful person, not to mention the daily small gifts, these days she has sent a circle of dim sum from the famous dim sum shops in the capital.
Thinking of the purpose of her coming, the fifth lady said with a smile: "Everyone was not happy at the last flower banquet, today a good lady wrote to me, saying that she wanted to come to our house to enjoy the flowers, my yard is really small, not good to entertain, I wanted to ask the third sister, I heard that the third sister came to my grandmother's side, I ran over with a cheeky face, grandmother helped me intercede, I want to borrow the third sister's yard, invite a few sisters to get together!" ”
The old lady bowed her head, feeling that there was nothing wrong with the left and right, and it would not be long before she was going to get married, and it was not a bad thing to contact her feelings before marrying, so she hurriedly said to Yun Xiangrong: "Your own yard, you make your own decision!" ”
Yun Xiangrong heard that the old lady was in favor of this banquet, although she knew that the fifth lady was not a safe master, but when she thought of the relationship between herself and her grandmother, Yun Xiangrong said softly: "Since you want to have a treat, then invite more people to come, and the young ladies who are close to our house have all posted to see how many people can come, if there are not many, then we will eat barbecue meat in the yard, this season to eat roast venison, it is delicious!" ”
The old lady looked at the cheerful Yun Xiangrong, and said dotingly: "You have a lot of tricks, okay, if you do it, then I will have someone prepare fresh venison for you, as well as a barbecue utensil!" ”
As soon as Miss Fifth saw that the matter was done, she said to Yun Xiangrong obediently: "Thank you Third Sister, I'll go back to the next post, which young ladies do the Third Sister want to invite, and also make a post, the three sisters have always been good friends with Miss Huang, can you invite her this time?" After speaking, he looked at Yun Xiangrong nervously, Yun Xiangrong didn't know why, he was reborn, and he was a little light on his previous friends, because he was a concubine in his previous life, he almost cut off contact with everyone else, it's not that Yun Xiangrong doesn't want to pay attention to her friends, but her identity, and her friends have left her!
Sometimes it's like this, don't go through some things, I really don't know who is the real friend, when I think of the past, Yun Xiangrong's mind of wanting to treat is light, the fifth lady saw that Yun Xiangrong was in a daze, afraid that her purpose would be disappointed, and hurriedly asked: "Which ones are the three sisters going to invite, I'll go back later, and I'll help you write a post!" ”
The old lady raised her eyebrows and looked at Miss Five, if the old lady just thought that Miss Five was a little too enthusiastic just now, she could also see Miss Five's eagerness at this time!
Yun Xiangrong had something in his heart, so he didn't think much about it, and said softly: "I'll give them a post when I go back next time, but at this time, there are many flower parties in various prefectures, I don't know if they are free!" Yun Xiangrong said this, but in fact, he had already made up his mind in his heart not to invite anyone!
The old lady kept looking at her two granddaughters, and Yun Xiangrong's indifferent expression was also in her eyes! Seeing that the fifth lady retired and left, the old lady looked at me Yun Xiangrong and asked softly: "But what's the matter, how can your fifth sister care about the girl of the Huang family!" ”
Yun Xiangrong sighed in her heart, originally she didn't want to talk to the old lady about the troubles outside, but in the mind of the fifth lady, she guessed that Miss Huang, who was good with her, was the granddaughter of the old marquis Huang, the military general of the Huang family for generations, and the Rongguo Mansion has always been in contact, Yun Xiangrong and Miss Huang are both straightforward and can talk about going together. Miss Wu deliberately mentioned Miss Huang, but because she heard rumors outside, if it was really Zheng Guogong who was captured, the Rong Guogong who was together can be imagined, but outsiders don't know that Rong Guogong is now recuperating in another hospital! Fifth Miss just thinks that with the status of the Huang family in the army, she can find out some news from Miss Huang when the time comes!
Yun Xiangrong hesitated for a moment, but still said: "My granddaughter has something that I haven't told you, I'm afraid you're worried, now the situation outside, I'm afraid it's not a few days, you also have to know, don't worry, listen to me slowly!" ”
The old lady looked at Yun Xiangrong nervously, Yun Xiangrong hurriedly held the old lady's hand, and said softly: "Grandfather is in Beijing!" ”
When the old lady heard this, her face turned white all of a sudden, and she grabbed Yun Xiangrong's hand and asked nervously, "But something happened!" ”
Yun Xiangrong was afraid that the old lady was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Grandfather encountered an ambush after leaving the city, his leg was injured, Zheng Guogong went out on behalf of his grandfather, and placed his grandfather in a separate courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing. ”
The more the old lady listened, the more frightened she became, and in the end, she couldn't help but tremble slightly!
Yun Xiangrong hurriedly comforted and said: "Aunt Ying went to the border, and when she left, she told her granddaughter that if there is an accident in Beijing, we should not panic, let alone ask the Queen Mother, saying that with Zheng Guogong's strategy, there should be a way back!" ”
The old lady bowed her head, she didn't expect that she was thinking about some old things in the past few days, but Yun Xiangrong was tired, and hurriedly asked, "Is your grandfather seriously injured?" ”
Yun Xiangrong didn't dare to hide it, and said softly: "I hurt my leg, I'm afraid I won't be able to ride a horse in the future!" ”
The old lady bowed her head, let out a long breath, and said in a low voice: "Your grandfather told me several times that the Rongguo Mansion is now too strong, and the soldiers on the frontier only know the Rongguo Mansion, and they don't know the current saints, these words are already heartbreaking, it's time to retreat, it's just a blind eye, grandmother has been thinking that there is no capable child in the family, if your grandfather retires, I'm afraid that the Rongguo Mansion will not be long before it will decline, now it seems that it would be good to listen to your grandfather!" ”
Yun Xiangrong hurriedly relieved softly: "Now is not a bad time, but I don't know if Zheng Guogong had other plans to hide his grandfather's injury and arrange people in another courtyard, but now it seems that even if he has other plans, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome!" ”
The old lady bowed her head, frowned and thought about Zheng Guogong's move, possible thoughts, and said softly after a long time: "We think so, it's also in vain, I have a channel for correspondence with your grandfather, you can help me write a letter to your grandfather, and in less than an hour, there will be a reply!" ”
Yun Xiangrong hurriedly went to get a pen and paper, the old lady said a word, she wrote a sentence, the letter was not left, the old lady rolled the letter, and said softly: "You come with me!" ”
Yun Xiangrong followed behind the old lady, the two of them entered the inner room, Yun Xiangrong was hesitating, the old lady pressed an inconspicuous box at the head of the bed, and a rumbling sound sounded in an instant, and after a while, a world of birds and flowers appeared in front of her!
Yun Xiangrong looked at the paradise in front of her in surprise, the old lady pressed a stone behind her, and the house behind her instantly returned to its original appearance!
Yun Xiangrong turned his head and looked at the old lady waiting for an answer, and the old lady said softly: "There are some objects collected by your grandfather here, and there is also an eagle!" As he was talking, an arm-long sea eagle had already flown over and landed directly on the old lady's shoulder, pecking at the old lady's hair very affectionately, it could be seen that it was very familiar with the old lady, but he looked at Yun Xiangrong with a wary face!
The old lady stretched out her hand to hug the sea eagle and whispered to Yun Xiangrong: "When your grandfather was in Gansu, he met the little flower, when the little flower was dying, your grandfather saved it, raised it for many years, and gradually became human, and began to use it to exchange letters with me, every time your grandfather sent troops to fight, we all used this!" After speaking, he had already put the rolled letter in the mouth of the sea eagle!
Yun Xiangrong was very worried, he had seen the carrier pigeon send a message, but he had never seen such a sea eagle carrying a letter, thinking of this, he was a little worried, and hurriedly asked, "Won't it fall?" ”
The old lady shook her head and said softly: "Except for me and your grandfather, no one feeds it, it will not open its mouth, when it is saved, it is because it swallowed poisonous things, it almost died, so since your grandfather saved it, for so many years, he has not eaten anything given by others, and he will not drink a sip of water!" ”
Yun Xiangrong looked at the majestic sea eagle carefully, and felt that the sea eagle called Xiaohua in front of him was simply amazing! But Xiaohua looked at Yun Xiangrong with a wary face, the old lady looked funny, and said in a low voice: "It's Rong girl, I will hand over the errand of feeding you to her in the future, I will always have an old day, you have to listen to Rong girl!" ”
The sea eagle drooped its head and lay at the bottom of the old lady's feet, which made people look very moved, Yun Xiangrong felt that this sea eagle seemed to be able to understand human words, and said softly: "Xiaohua, send the letter to my grandfather, my grandfather is in Zheng Guogong's courtyard in the suburbs, I received a reply from my grandfather, come back quickly, we are waiting for you!" After saying that, he boldly stepped forward, squatted down and touched the feathers on the back of the sea eagle.
I was very surprised that the sea eagle's eyes were moist, Yun Xiangrong really felt that the sea eagle had already understood human nature! Very lovingly picked up the sea eagle and threw it into the sky, the sea eagle fluttered its wings and soared into the sky, circled around the top of the old lady's head three times, and then flew out with a soft cry!
Looking at the direction in which the sea eagle disappeared, Yun Xiangrong couldn't help but look back at the old lady and asked, "Does the sea eagle recognize the way?" ”
The old lady smiled happily, like a child, and said with bright eyes: "In order to train the sea eagle, your grandfather has thought of many methods, but Xiaohua is very spiritual, and just now you can see it, it seems to be able to understand what we say, so far, it has not failed to send letters!" ”
Yun Xiangrong bowed his head, feeling that he could live again, there was really nothing impossible, a quarter of an hour later, the sea eagle proudly completed the task, Yun Xiangrong took out Rong Guogong's reply and fed the sea eagle a chick!
The old lady quickly browsed the letter of Rong Guogong, Yun Xiangrong saw that the old lady's face was getting worse and worse, and said secretly: I'm afraid there is trouble, the old lady has finished reading the letter and handed the letter to Yun Xiangrong!
Yun Xiangrong unfolded it and gasped!
(The heart is in turmoil, it's late today!) See you tomorrow! The operation went smoothly, and I always felt that the things that could be solved with money were not a big deal, and I was ruined! Tomorrow the hospital is my shift, stay in the hospital for two days, feel that life is too fragile, see an old man to have surgery, his children are crying, to be honest at that age, there is really no need for surgery, there is that money for the elderly to travel across the country, than in the hospital a hundred times more comfortable! When I lifted the bed today, there was a moment very sad, many years ago, my father did surgery and did not tell me far away in Xiamen, I don't know how my mother did it alone, as a biological daughter, I did not spend a day of filial piety by my parents' side, I feel that I am really unfilial, many years ago, a brother said, none of us owe anything in this world, we owe our parents, to when, the best for us, the most worried about us will only be our parents! I've been in the hospital for a long time, and I feel a lot! Good night, everyone! )
