Chapter 016
"How did you get to Jumaozhai? That's not ......" Wang paused when he said this, and glanced at Shen's mother, who nodded at Wang.
"And then?" Wang asked again.
Xingzhou's head hung lower, and said, "Then, this morning, Hou Ye summoned Ye over and asked him if he had seen anything like Hou Ye." The master said, just said, said that he took that thing as a pawn, exchanged it for silver, went to Baoqing Silver Building, and bought a set of rice bead head noodles. ”
There was a "bang", and I don't know who knocked over the teacup behind the screen, fell to the ground and shattered.
Xingzhou's head hung lower, and he wished that the whole person was shrunk into a small ball.
After a long time, he heard Wang's voice and asked, "You go on, what about after that?" ”
Later, Master Hou sent everyone out, leaving only Master to talk in the study. Later, he heard that the Hou Ye was angry and asked someone to get the whip. When the slave saw that things were not good, he called someone to send a letter to the backyard, wanting to ask the uncle to come and plead. Who would have thought, the uncle hasn't arrived yet, the Hou master has already beaten the master. Fortunately, the uncle came quickly, and the master was only whipped three times...... The eldest and uncle finally persuaded the Hou Ye. The uncle asked the servant to come over first to report the news, and said that he would ask someone to carry the master back later. ”
Xingzhou said that, and hung his head and waited for the Wang family to show down. But he thought in his heart: He hasn't said everything about this yet, and if he says it all, I'm afraid that his wife will be angry.
Oh, then he heard Wang's words: "But there are others?" ”
Xingzhou thought about it, kowtowed again, and said, "Uncle also said that he had already sent someone to invite Dr. Zhang, and asked his wife to prepare." ”
"I see, you go down." Wang said, his voice sounding very calm.
"Yes." Xingzhou wiped the sweat from his head and bowed out.
For a while, the main room was silent, and there was not a trace of human voice.
Wang turned his head to look at Qiao Yun and smiled slightly.
Qiaoyun's face was red at the moment, her cheeks were full of spring, her eyes were slightly drooping, there was a smile on her lips that couldn't be hidden, and her heart was full of tenderness.
Fu Geng was beaten for her. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to give her rice beads, how could that handsome and merry man be the Hou Ye's thing? That's Tanhua Fu Saburo, if you can get him this time, it's worth it to die yourself.
Qiaoyun's face was full of peach blossoms, and his face was dreamy and tender, which fell in the eyes of Shen's mother, and she only felt extremely dazzling. She wasn't so angry, though. By tonight at the latest, there will be a result of this. It's just that the master does this, I'm afraid that the Wang family will feel very uncomfortable.
Wang looked at Qiao Yun with a smile, and said softly: "You also heard, the doctor will come over in a while, it will be inconvenient." Are you here, or are you going back to the house and waiting? ”
Qiaoyun lowered his head, but his back was straight, and he said softly: "It is the duty of a servant to serve his wife and master." ”
"Oh, really?" Wang's smile was a little meaningful, he paused for a moment, and said, "It's okay, it can save a lot of trouble." This was like talking to himself, his voice was not high, and Qiaoyun didn't hear it clearly.
Wang got up, asked someone to clean up the bed, and asked Shen's mother to open the box and take the "poison dispersion" she brought from her mother's house. It is said that this was obtained by the prefect of the king from the stranger back then, and it was extremely effective for external injuries.
Before he could clean up here, he saw the courtyard door wide open, Fu Geng climbed on the spring bench, and was carried in by two sturdy servants. appeared with Fu Geng, as well as Mrs. Li and a few women who were born in the face, looking at the clothes of those people, they should all serve in the front yard.
As soon as Fu Geng entered the courtyard gate, Wang hurriedly greeted him, and said with tears in his eyes: "Does it still hurt?" Why are you so stupid? How is this good for me? As he spoke, he burst into tears.
Fu Geng raised his body and wanted to reach out to wipe Wang's tears, but who knew that this movement affected the wound, he couldn't help but hiss, and fell back again, so he had to say in a dumb voice: "Your body is fine, go back to the house quickly, it's windy outside, don't be cold again." I didn't hurt, I only got three lashes, which is considered light. After that, he forced a smile.
When Wang saw him like this, his heart felt like a knife was wringing, and the tears fell down in a torrential manner, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.
Qiaoyun kept following behind Wang, crying like pear blossoms with rain. Huaisu, Yingxiang and Shen's mother surrounded Fu Geng and squeezed her out of the circle, she didn't seem to care, just blindly wiped her tears.
Qiaoyun was very sure that Fu Geng would definitely call her to him. She is the center of the whole thing, Fu Geng's actions are all for her, he must love her to the bottom of his heart. So she wasn't in a hurry at all, she was even looking forward to the situation when Fu Geng summoned her to her in front of everyone in the main room.
However, Qiaoyun was destined to be disappointed.
The group entered the main room, and Wang personally served Fu Geng to lie down. Not long after, Dr. Zhang also arrived, first diagnosed Fu Geng's pulse, and then prescribed medicine to treat external injuries, but he didn't stay long, so he was sent out by Xingzhou. Here Fu Geng took the medicine, drank a bowl of decoction with a sleeping effect, and fell asleep.
In this not a short period of time, from beginning to end, no one mentioned the word Qiaoyun. Not only the Wang family, but even Fu Geng.
Qiao Yun was still holding it first, and then he vaguely felt a little inappropriate.
Something is not right. She instinctively sensed a hint of unease. However, looking around, there were a lot of people in the main room waiting for the advance and retreat in an orderly manner. Although Wang's face was sad, he didn't look like he wanted to send anyone down. There is also the lady Li, who was only waiting in the bright room, standing solemnly and bowing her head, looking very calm, and she didn't even sweep the corner of her eyes to Qiaoyun.
Seeing this scene, Qiaoyun was a little unsure again. After all, Fu Geng was injured, and the first thing was to take medicine to recuperate, and he couldn't take care of her for a while. took 10,000 steps back and said that she wanted to eat some hangings in this matter, and it was just a slight punishment. After all, she is the person appointed by Mrs. Hou, and no matter who he is, he can't do anything to her.
Thinking like this, Qiao Yun was slightly determined. didn't dare to continue to be too public, even his expression was more restrained, and he didn't continue to stay in front of Fu Geng's bed, but followed Wang back to the bright room.
As soon as he entered the bright room, Wang thanked Mrs. Li with tears: "Thank you Mother Li for taking care of our master." ”
Mrs. Li said busily: "It was originally a matter for slaves and maids, and the third wife, you are too polite." ”
After that, she looked around, her eyes stopped on Qiaoyun for a while, and Fang said to the Wang family: "The slave maid still needs to ask his wife one more thing, which house is Qiaoyun in?" ”
Wang was slightly stunned, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to reply, but Qiaoyun on the side had already stepped forward and smiled earnestly: "What did my mother call me?" ”
Mrs. Li's face turned cold, she looked at Qiaoyun and asked, "You are Qiaoyun?" She was already quite rude in her question. It is said that Qiaoyun is a person in Fu Geng's room, and she is a housekeeper of the outer courtyard, and she is also a girl who should be Qiaoyun.
Qiao Yun also felt that something was wrong at this time, and his complexion changed a little.
Mrs. Li stopped talking, and only glanced behind her. Qiao Yun noticed that the women who were born were standing at the bottom of the stairs at the moment, and one of them stepped out of the crowd, carried the hem of his skirt up the stairs, and walked into the house.
It was a woman with a very plain face, with a round bun and a simple silver hairpin. She was wearing a gray dress, and the skirt placket was inlaid with a wide black cloth of cloudy grass and grass an inch wide, and she was dressed very simply.
If she hadn't come closer, no one would have noticed this person's existence. However, when she walked over, everyone couldn't help but look at her, as if there was a thread on her body that drew everyone's eyes.
Fu Jun was also looking at her, and the more she looked, the more surprised she became.
This woman looks like she has a lot of background. Look at the way she walks, her shoulders are not moving, her gait is steady, and the stride spacing is as precise as if she had measured it with a ruler. and her expression, no joy or sorrow, but not dull, a pair of eyes as calm as water, so that people can't find out the depth. And what is even more impossible to ignore is the kind of bearing on her body, calm and steady, where she looks like a subordinate, even the housewife may not be able to have this style.
is such a character, who can always be hidden in the crowd, as if invisible, this condensed and subtle skill, it is even more surprising.
I saw the woman walk up to Qiaoyun and said calmly, "Miss Lao will come with us." She spoke at a slow pace, her voice was neither high nor low, and there seemed to be some strange rhythm in her intonation, which sounded different.
Qiao Yun's eyes were fixed on the woman's face, her face was already pale, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.
Seeing that Qiaoyun didn't answer, the woman waved her hand. I saw two other women coming, and one of them, dressed in green clothes, went to pull Qiaoyun.
"Mom has something to say, why bother pulling and pulling?" Qiao Yun ducked back with a white face, and his voice was already trembling.
The woman in Tsing Yi didn't talk nonsense, she stepped forward and raised her hand to Qiaoyun's face to slap her.
This sudden start, before everyone could react, they only heard a dull "horn", and then saw Qiaoyun's body crooked and fell to the side. Only then did everyone realize that the palm of the woman in Tsing Yi was actually carrying great strength.
At this time, another woman in yellow happened to be standing in the position where Qiaoyun fell, and saw that she was holding Qiaoyun and twisting it again, so she cut Qiaoyun's hands back. The woman in green clothes in front of her took a white cloth towel from her arms, raised her hand to pinch Qiaoyun's chin with a slight force, and filled the cloth into it when she opened her mouth to exhale pain.
Qiaoyun struggled desperately, making a "hmm" sound from his mouth. When the woman in yellow saw this, she kicked Qiao Yun's knee, this kick didn't seem to be forceful, but Qiao Yun's face changed in pain, and her whole body trembled like chaff, and the person had fallen down softly.
At this time, Qiaoyun, half of his cheeks were swollen and tall, the corners of his mouth were bloody, his face was full of tears, his hair bun was also scattered, and a golden hairpin hung down obliquely, looking extremely wolf-like, and he no longer had the delicate appearance of pear blossoms with rain.
