Chapter 045
Zhang sat quietly at the table. When the servant woman gave Huan'er a palm, she picked up the tea cup and took a few sips of tea. After the palm was finished, Zhang wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and asked softly, "Good boy, can you tell the truth now?" ”
Huan'er swallowed a mouthful of blood foam with great difficulty, and a fishy sweet taste flowed through her throat. Her face ached hotly, and her throat was retched by the fishy sweetness. The severe pain in her body made her more awake.
Fu Jia's matter, she must not say. Even if Fu Jia said it, she must not let go. Not to mention, she may still have a life; If you say that, there is no chance of survival. Now her only battle is this ruthlessness.
As a minion, there aren't many things Huan'er can take out to fight, her life is one, and her loyalty is another.
But all masters love faithful servants. Huan'er only wishes that the Zhang family is the same.
Huan'er's heart was settled, and the person calmed down. She coughed and said in a trembling voice, "Back to Mrs. Son,...... The servant told the truth. After the servant received the errand, she secretly went to play. Went to ...... Went to the southeast corner of a ...... In a garden where no one lives. ”
Zhang's hand wiping the corner of his lips paused, and then pondered for a while and said, "What you said, but the abandoned garden over there in the Three Realms Grass House?" ”
The Zhang family also knew that the garden was said to be that the Hou Ye thought that the feng shui was not good, so he sealed it and did not let people live, and there was a bush in front of the garden, which was quite desolate.
Huan'er listened to Zhang's words, then nodded and said, "If Mrs. Hui speaks, it is there." Servant ...... The maid once wandered around and found ...... When he found that the chain of the door of the garden was loose, and he could push open the cracks, the maid ...... I often go there to play. It's ...... too."
Zhang stared at the top of Huan'er's head for a moment.
She knew that this girl was not telling the truth, and there must be an inside story. However, the immediate priority is not these, but the abandoned garden and the ghost needle. If these things are not clarified, I am afraid that there will be losses in the future.
As for this girl, it's just a matter of whether she has this life.
Thinking of this, Zhang's pine frowned, and ordered: "Come on, drag this girl down, get twenty boards first, and put her in the firewood room when you are done." After that, she looked at Huan'er again and smiled: "I know what you are thinking in your heart, I will fulfill you." When the twenty boards are finished, you will stay in the woodhouse for three days. If you are all right after three days, it is a blessing to you, and I have called you up to serve. ”
Huan'er's body trembled as she knelt on the ground.
Twenty boards, three days of starvation. Does Zhang want her to die? But she doesn't want to die yet, she still wants to live, and she still wants to get ahead and earn a decent job for herself.
But after thinking about it again, Huan'er understood that this was already the best result. At least she's not going to die right away, is she? As for the final outcome, she didn't believe that her luck would be so bad.
Thinking of this, Huan'er also calmed down, knelt upright, kowtowed three times to Zhang's family, and said inarticulately: "Thank you...... Xie Tai ** Dian. ”
Mother Liu waved her hand, and the two servants took Huan'er down.
Zhang looked at the shaking door curtain, rubbed his brows, and asked Liu's mother a little tiredly, "How is Jia'er?" ”
Mother Liu said cautiously: "Back to Mrs. Liu's words, the girl cried for a while, this will be already lying down, the second young master is by the side, and Coral, Yingluo and the ink rain in front of the second young master are all serving in front." ”
Zhang asked again: "What about Brother Chen?" ”
Liu's mother said: "I heard that the old lady is sick, and the eldest boy went to visit the patient. ”
Zhang Shi showed a slight smile on his face, and then sighed and said, "If Jia'er had half of Brother Chen'er, I wouldn't be like this." Alas, let her sleep first. Call her to me when she wakes up. ”
Mother Liu nodded, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard Fu Xue's voice outside the door curtain: "Madam, Mother Gu is here." ”
Mother Liu hurriedly stepped forward to open the door curtain, let Fu Xue and Gu's mother in, and immediately retreated knowing the opportunity, and went to Fu Jia's house to spread the word.
After Gu's mother entered the house, Zhang asked Fu Xue to go to the door to guard first, and then asked Gu's mother to sit on Zhang Xiaozi, and then said slowly: "Mom, I didn't know until today that there are many things in this house, and I am like a blind man, and my eyes are black." ”
Gu's mother already knew about today's events, so she took her hand and comforted, "Mrs. is a bad word. I think you have been in the house for many years, and you have worked hard to get to where you are today. No matter how you look at this now, it seems like it happened decades ago, and you should be right if you don't know it. ”
Only in front of Gu's mother will Zhang show some true emotions. At this time, she was depressed, and said a little discouragedly: "Although it was a few decades ago, this incident alone made my hard work almost go to waste." At this, she let out a long sigh.
Gu's mother's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and she said solemnly: "Mrs. Don't say such things. The old slave will go to check, you can rest assured, I will be able to give you an explanation. ”
Zhang said gratefully: "There is Lao's mother." It's a bit laborious to think about it, and my mother has to work hard. ”
Gu's mother smiled: "Where did the old slave come from. It's just that this matter should be sooner rather than later, and the old slave will go to investigate, and the wife will relax. ”
Zhang's heart was also very anxious, and after hearing Gu's mother's words, he also nodded and said, "Mom, go, if there is anything you need to spend, just say it directly." ”
Gu's mother smiled and patted Zhang's hand, and then withdrew.
Gu's mother walked on the front foot, and a little girl came to report on the back foot, saying that Li Niangzi in the front yard sent a mother to pass the word, Fu Zhuang couldn't go back to the house at noon because of something in the ministry, so he asked them to eat first.
When Zhang heard this, he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart. However, after thinking about it, she felt that this was fine, at least she could spare her spirit and concentrate on arranging Fu Jia and dealing with Mrs. Hou's affairs.
At this time, the mother who stayed at Mrs. Hou's place also came to pass the word, saying that Imperial Doctor Liang had already diagnosed Mrs. Hou's pulse, but did not prescribe a prescription, only saying that Mrs. Hou was overthinking and that it was appropriate to relax and recuperate.
Master Hou, Fu Ting, and Fu Geng also went to Rongxuan Hall to visit the patient, but Mrs. Hou didn't see anything, and only asked Yu's mother to accompany her to the small Buddha Hall.
This news was not only passed on to the Zhang family, but also to the Cui family and the Wang family.
It was supposed to be a happy family banquet, but who expected it to end with Mrs. Hou's illness. Fu Jun lamented the impermanence of the world on the one hand, and returned to the autumn evening residence with the Wang family.
The Wang family obviously had something on their minds, and when they returned to Qiuxi Residence, they asked Fu Jun to go back to the West Chamber, and she entered the main room. As soon as she entered the house, she withdrew from the others, leaving only Huaisu and Shen's mother.
Seeing that there were no outsiders in the room, Wang stroked his forehead, sighed and said, "How much does Sister Tang have for this matter today?" ”
Huai Su glanced at Wang's face and replied cautiously: "Back to Mrs., the girl accounts for about five points. ”
Wang couldn't help laughing, and said to her: "You look down on our girl too much, in my opinion, she accounts for at least seven points." ”
Seeing that the Wang family had no intention of punishing, Huai Su was relieved, and then smiled and said: "Yes, the maid said the wrong thing, and the girl should be the first to contribute to this matter." ”
Wang frowned slightly and said, "When you walked away the people on the corner door, did anyone else see it?" ”
Huai Su lowered his head and said: "The maid is very careful, at that time the second wife was telling jokes, the eldest lady was funny, Yu's mother and Jia's mother went to support the noon banquet, the people in the long room and the second room were all in the East Warm Pavilion, and the maid didn't see anyone when she went out." ”
Wang nodded and said, "That's fine." After that, he thought about it for a moment, then laughed and said, "How did Sister Tang'er grow her brain, she was only six years old, what can I do in the future?" ”
Even the Wang family only vaguely knew about the matter of the ghost needle, but they didn't know where Fu Jun got the news, so he even used this to teach Fu Jia a hard lesson with Mrs. Hou's taboo.
Wang's words were clear and secretly happy, and the expression on his face was too happy, and Shen's mother couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's good that the girl is like this, don't let people bully her in vain." ”
When Wang thought of Fu Jia, his face was a little annoyed, and he said slightly angrily: "When I saw that Sister Tang had no hairpin on her head, and I saw her secretly coquettish with me, can I still not understand?" What's wrong with the Yan branch, bullying his own sisters, how can he have half of the bearing that the Yan branch should have. ”
Shen's mother persuaded: "Why should my wife be angry? It's not just right now, not only the two girls, but I'm afraid that the long house will be affected. If you want me to say, this is also evil and evil is rewarded. ”
Wang thought that this was Fu Jun's handwriting, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart. The daughter is now capable, and she has to deal with things by herself, she can only help as a mother, and those who are in the way will help her get out of the way, and if there is a bad road, she will do it in advance, and it can be regarded as a mother and daughter concentric.
Shen's mother said again: "Mrs., do you want to inform the master of this matter?" And the girl, do you want to remind the lady too? ”
Wang thought for a while, then stood up and said, "Huaisu come with me, and my mother stays in the house." With that, he walked out the door.
Huai Su hurriedly followed behind Wang. But I saw that the Wang family went out of the main room, but went to the west chamber. Huaisu glanced at it, and saw a little girl with a round face wearing a pale green bikini, who was standing under the wooden tree and probing her brain here, and when she saw the direction where Wang was going, she immediately ran into the west chamber.
"Poof", Wang chuckled, pointed to the little girl and said, "Look at this stupid girl, I also sent a little spy here." Fang Cai's cleverness is gone. Wang shook his head as he spoke, very disapproving.
Huaisu is also ridiculous.
The incident of Fu Jia, the girl handled it amazingly, where did she look like a six-year-old child? But now it seems that the girl is still young, and she sent a stupid girl to probe the limelight, and she did not hide it at all, and she had to laugh when she saw it.
In fact, both Wang and Huaisu think too highly of Fu Jun. Fu Jun's house fighting skills are like five scum in battle, and what he relies on is just the accumulation of experience in the profession of the previous life, and the super memory of this life.
