Chapter 168: Door-to-door (5K, Big Chapter Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Miss, there is an old woman outside, who was brought by Mrs. Zhao, saying that she is Mrs. Madame's nurse, and asks to see Miss." Situ Ying's maid Caiqin came in in wonderfully to report, pursed her lips again, and said, "Recently, I have come to the door to say everything, and now even the person who pretends to be the lady's nurse has come out." ā
Since yesterday it was discovered that his mother's bones had been stolen, Situ Yingsleeve and He Zhifu of Jinling City issued a bounty together, and there has been an endless stream of people who have come to report the news.
However, they generally have to go through the first round of screening of the Situ family steward at the door, and then they can come to the inner house to return to Situ Yingsleeve's questioning.
It's only been less than a day, and more than a dozen people have already arrived.
Because of the importance of the matter, Situ Yingsleeve didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and didn't dare to fake the hands of others, but he kept sitting behind the screen, listening to those people, and he felt that something was wrong before asking a few words.
As expected, these people who are currently here are here to cheat money.
However, in order to let these people at least publicize that it was true that she offered a reward with silver after they went out, Situ Yingsleeve still gave each of them a penny.
Although ten taels of silver were promised as the minimum reward, it was on the premise that the news was reliable.
is completely unreliable and fabricated news, and she can still give a lot of money, just to show her determination and strength to get the news.
This time, when I heard that my mother's nurses were here, Situ Yingsleeve smiled, stroked the hem of her skirt, and said, "The eldest aunt said that she is, and she should be." ā
She didn't remember what her mother's nurse looked like, and the maid next to her was not much older than her, and she didn't remember much, but the people of the Situ clan recognized her.
Shen Yongjie's nurse followed her from the capital to Jiangnan to marry. Of course Mrs. Zhao recognized her.
This nurse came to the door of Situ's third room and saw that she didn't know those people. Then he turned to the door of Situ Dafang and asked to see Mrs. Zhao.
Situ Dafang's disciple still vaguely remembers her. At present, when the eldest lady of the third room is looking for the bones of her mother's relatives with great fanfare, these people dare not snub Shen Yongjie's nurse, and are busy going in to spread the word.
Mrs. Zhao of Situ Dafang heard about it and came to the second gate to meet her.
The nurse's surname is Shen, and she is called Shen Mama in the Situ family, she was originally the son of the Shen Xiang family, and after getting married, she went back to the inner courtyard to work as an errand. became Shen Yongjie's nurse, and later took her family to marry Shen Yongjie to Jiangnan.
After Shen Yongjie's death, Situ Jianren resold everything that Shen Yongjie's subordinates could resell, and sent away a few taels of silver if he couldn't resell the land.
And not long after Shen Yongjie gave birth to Situ Yingsleeve, she returned the deed of sale of Shen's family to them.
So later, when Situ Jianren cleaned up Shen Yongjie's subordinates who were married, he sold all those who had a deed of sale, and did not find a deed of sale, such as Mama Shen's family, so he gave a few taels of silver and sent them away.
Mama Shen was later found by Zhang Shaotian to take care of Shen Yongjie, who was rescued. I was separated from my family and didn't see each other for ten years.
Now that she has seen Mrs. Zhao, Mama Shen doesn't dare to tell the truth, only saying that there is news about Mrs. Shen's dying and burial. I want to speak to Situ Yingsleeve in person.
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly led her to see Situ Yingsleeve.
Situ Yingsleeve saw the people for a day, although he was already very tired, he still stood at the door to greet him.
"Sleeves. Do you see who I brought to you? Mrs. Zhao led a middle-aged woman with a round bun and walked in.
The woman was wearing a jujube red Shu brocade gown embroidered with dark lines that did not reach the head, and a hairpin of mutton fat jade was inserted on her head. Born white and pure, some fat. But the eyes are soft, and he looks very good, but there is a deep line between the eyebrows, which is the mark of frowning over the years.
Situ Yingsleeve glanced at the woman a few times, and felt that it did look a little familiar.
She was four years old when her mother died, and she began to remember, and she shouldn't have forgotten so much.
It's just that there are not only ten years between her memories, but also eighteen years from the previous life, so when she looks at the woman again, she only has a vague sense of familiarity.
"Who is this......?" Situ Yingsleeve asked tentatively.
Mama Shen looked at Situ Yingsleeve in surprise, with tears in her eyes, and said, "You are Sleevesleeve?" - Your eyes are exactly the same as your mother's! ā
A lot of people who know her mother say so.
Situ Yingsleeve smiled and nodded to Mrs. Zhao, "Thank you for sending it over." ā
"This is Mama Shen, your mother's nurse. When your mother was alive, Mama Shen was the internal manager of the Situ family. Alas, it's a pity, as soon as your mother left, your father sent away all the subordinates who accompanied your mother. Mrs. Zhao patted Situ Yingsleeve's shoulder, "Have a good chat with Mama Shen, apart from your father, she knows the most." As he spoke, he turned and walked away.
Situ Yingsleeves curtsied behind Mrs. Zhao's back and watched her leave.
Mama Shen kept looking at her intently.
Situ Yingsleeve said goodbye to Mrs. Zhao, turned to Mama Shen and smiled and said, "Mama here, please." "I invited Mama Shen to sit in the house.
Mama Shen glanced at the furnishings in this room with emotion, and said, "It's completely different from when Madame was there. ā
Of course, it's completely different.
Zhang's family has been a family for several years, and her father is even more eager to erase all traces of her mother, how can it be the same?
Situ Yingsleeve pressed the ridicule in her heart, lowered her eyes and personally served a bowl of tea to Mama Shen.
Mama Shen hurriedly stood up and caught it, and said, "The eldest lady really killed the old body." ā
"Mama's so polite." Situ Yingsleeve sat next to her with a smile, called Situ Chenlei over again, and said to Mama Shen: "He is Xiao Lei." ā
Situ Chenlei smiled and said, "Mama Shen is good." "Articulate and modest, where is that fool who has ever heard of it?!
Mama Shen cried with joy, grabbed Situ Chenlei with one hand, grabbed Situ Ying's sleeve with the other, and cried: "Great! That's great! Our young lady finally has the day when the clouds open and the moon shines! ā
Situ Yingsleeve: "......" What did this grandma say?!
The "Miss" in Mama Shen's mouth is, of course, that her mother kissed Shen Yongjie.
Situ Yingsleeve only thought that she was too excited, and she didn't choose to speak. Patiently waited for Mama Shen to finish crying before letting Situ Chenlei enter the house. I sat in the outer hall and talked a few words to Mama Shen.
Mama Shen wiped her tears, and also took a few things that outsiders didn't know about the Situ family and the Shen family's family and asked Situ Yingsleeve. It seems that he is worried that Situ Yingsleeve is fake......
Both sides are testing each other.
Situ Yingsleeve was amused, but also a little cautious, not as careless as just now.
"Miss, the old man has something to say to Miss, can you change to a more private place?" After Mama Shen finished asking, she confirmed Situ Ying's identity before she said solemnly.
What she has to say is too important for others to know.
Situ Yingsleeve thought for a moment. "Follow me." With that, he got up and took Mama Shen to the courtyard.
Situ's three-bedroom house is not small, and this courtyard is also very empty and spacious.
The two of them stood in the middle of the courtyard and spoke, as long as the voice was quiet, even if others wanted to eavesdrop, they could not get close.
Because as soon as they got close, they were discovered by Situ Yingsleeve.
Mama Shen looked around, and became more convinced of Situ Ying's cautious intelligence, and she sighed with emotion: "The eldest lady is like this, your mother must be very happy to know it." ā
Situ Yingsleeve tugged at the corners of his mouth. Walking slowly in a circle in the courtyard, he said, "Mama, you might as well speak directly if you have something to say." Then he asked, "Do you know where my mother's bones are?" ā
What she wants to know most now is the news of her mother's bones.
As soon as it was found that the bones of the mother's relatives had been stolen. Situ Yingsleeve was very sad and anxious.
Mama Shen paused and said, "What happened back then." The old body does know a thing or two. As he spoke, he slowly said something unbelievable to Situ Yingsleeve.
The more Situ Yingsleeve listened, the more surprised he became. In the end, I couldn't even close my mouth.
"Mama! You can't talk nonsense?! ā
Even if she has been a human being for two lives, she has enough calmness. was still frightened by Mama Shen's words, and staggered two steps and almost fell to the ground.
āā¦ā¦ You say, my mother...... My mother...... Rescued? She...... She's not dead?! Situ Yingsleeve muttered, his heart was in turmoil for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
She rubbed her hands together and walked around the courtyard with bluestone slabs in the middle of the courtyard.
Should she believe it or not?!
After all, what Mama Shen said was too unbelievable.
If only she had someone around to discuss.
The first person she thought of that she could trust and rely on was Master.
It's a pity that Master is not here.
Secondly, the only person who can be consulted is probably the one who is not very good-tempered......
Situ Yingsleeve's eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the Yamen of the prefect of Jinling City.
Xie Donglian's Qincha Xingyuan was located on the side of the prefect's yamen, and it was only separated from their Situ Sanfang house by a narrow alley.
Xie Dongli was talking to the prefect of Jinling City at this time, and the files of the Jiangnan Gongyuan were all transferred to him for inspection, but he was asking about Mrs. Shen's bones.
"He Zhifu, it's not me urging you. Mrs. Shen is Shen's beloved daughter, and now that her bones are gone, you have to work hard to find it! Xie Dongli knocked on the book case of He Zhifu, "What happened ten years ago, it is not close to say, and it is not far away. ā
"Okay, good, the lower officials will take care of it, and it will be taken care of!" He Zhifu hurriedly bowed down and said, and when Xie Dongshu turned around to clean up the file, he hurriedly raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Ten years ago, why is it not far away?!
But where do you want him to look?!
As soon as Xie Dongli packed up the file, his heart suddenly moved, and he turned to He Zhifu and said, "I still have some things, He Zhifu, please take care of yourself." ā
He Zhifu couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly retreated.
As soon as the prefect of He left, Xie Dongli changed into a homely blue arrow-sleeved Gebu robe, and came to the third room of Situ's house to see Situ Chenlei.
He is Lord Qincha, and he once came to Situ's house to support Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei, so the concierge of Situ's family recognized him.
Seeing him coming, he hurriedly went in and spread the word.
Situ Yingsleeve was eating with Mama Shen, and her heart was also tormented like a hundred claws, when she heard that Xie Dongli was coming, she was immediately overjoyed, and got up and said to Mama Shen: "You eat first, and then we will talk about it carefully after eating." ā
Mama Shen nodded, knowing that Situ Yingsleeve needed time to accept this matter.
When she was outside just now, she had already told Situ Yingsleeve not to tell anyone about her mother's situation for the time being. Because her mother is still unconscious, if someone else knows. I'm afraid that this life, which has been hidden for ten years, will not be saved.
Situ Yingsleeve already knew that there was something strange about his mother's death. And if her mother has been outside for ten years, even if she is unconscious and known by those who have ghosts and like to make trouble, she will be suspected of her chastity......
Especially her dad.
How hard did it take to marry Zhang's family to fill the house for the stepfamily, if he knew that his original partner was still alive, what would his father do?
When Situ Yingsleeve thought of this, he shivered first, and subconsciously didn't want to think about it anymore.
So far, there is no need for Mama Shen to explain. She knew that she couldn't talk nonsense.
But after the initial shock, she was left with only joy in her heart, not only happy, but also excited, and the happiness in her chest was almost overflowing.
She's not a motherless child anymore......
She has a mother, a mother!
Situ Yingsleeve turned around to the corridor excitedly, and saw Xie Dongli standing at the door of the upper room with his hands behind his back, calm and dignified, like a silent mountain. He doesn't have to say anything, he doesn't have to do anything, just standing there can calm his impetuous heart.
Situ Yingsleeve stopped. took a deep breath, walked over slowly, and said with a smile: "It's really good that Lord Xie is here." I was just going to find Master Xie. ā
Xie Dongli let out an "oh" and glanced back at her. said indifferently: "I'm here to see Xiao Lei." Did he do his homework? ā
Situ Yingsleeve hurriedly said: "Let Xiao Lei put it in advance today, I have more important things to ask the adults for an idea." ā
"Huh? For you. Is there anything more important than Xiao Lei? Xie Dongli squinted his eyes and said mockingly.
Situ Yingsleeve didn't care, and beckoned with a smile: "My lord, come with me." As he spoke, he took Xie Dongli down the steps and walked around the courtyard, while eagerly relaying what Mama Shen had just said to Xie Donglian, and finally said, "...... My lord, my mother is not dead! No wonder there are "no bones left"......
Xie Dongli stopped, frowned slightly, looked up at the sky, and said, "What are you going to do?" ā
This is where Situ Yingsleeve is in a dilemma.
She grabbed the tassel on the fan sleeve with her hand, bit her lip, and said softly, "I don't know either." What if they let others know about it? I always don't know where to go for ten years, and when the time comes, my mother's reputation is not good......"
Xie Dongli was stunned, and then couldn't bear to stand in front of her, staring at her with a pair of bottomless black eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Don't you think it's too early to consider the issue of reputation at this time?" ā
"How can it be too early? There are people in the capital who are waiting to catch my mother's mistake! Situ Yingsleeve said confidently, glaring back without being stunned at all.
Xie Dongli closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and warned himself to calm down.
This girl is so powerful that she can always make him go from indifferent to irritable and irritable with a single word.
It's not good, it's not good......
After Xie Dongli calmed down, he said word by word: "What you have to consider now, first, is whether what that person said is true." Second, if it's true, you have to determine how to wake up your mother. Third, after you wake up, you will think about how to place your mother. As for fame, if you take it seriously, it can crush you. If you don't take it seriously, what is it? It's redundant. So the last thing you need to think about is your mother's reputation. ā
Situ Yingsleeve was stunned for a long time, and then said convincingly: "Lord Xie is Lord Xie, this is said in an orderly manner, it is too powerful!" - Okay, I know what to do! "But he said that he knew what to do, but in fact, he pulled Xie Dongli again.
"Master Xie, can you come with me to have a look? I was a little scared. In case it's not true, it's a trap......" Situ Yingsleeve said hesitantly.
Xie Dongli couldn't help but sneer: "...... You're worried that it's a trap, and you're going to pull me along. In your heart, I am the one who backs you? ā
Situ Yingsleeve hurriedly shook his head and said, "Of course not!" Lord Xie is so powerful, you are going, no matter what trap you can't break, I don't have to worry about it! ā
"Clever tongue." Xie Dongli glanced at her, turned around and walked up the steps, the smile on the corner of his lips flashed, and he didn't even notice it.
After Mama Shen finished eating, Xie Dongli went back to arrange it again, and then came to the door of Situ Sanfang's house, waiting for Situ Yingsleeve and Mama Shen to come out together.
In order not to reveal the news, Situ Yingsleeve did not bring the subordinates and guards of the Situ family, only Situ Chenlei, and completely relied on Xie Dongli to take his guards and entourage to go to the small farm outside Jinling City with Mama Shen.
Zhang Shaotian hid on a small hill near a fork in the Zhuangzi, and watched Situ Yingsleeve enter with Xie Dongxi, and the Zhuangzi was heavily guarded by Xie Dongshu all around, so he nodded and left with confidence.
He knew Xie Donglian's ability.
It seems that Yongjie's daughter is not stupid, and she knows how to find rescuers.
Zhang Shaotian tried his best, but Shen Yongjie couldn't wake up completely, and he was always short of breathing. This time, he agreed that Mama Shen would go to Situ Yingsleeve and reveal this matter, hoping that the arrival of Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei would make Shen Yongjie have a little more heart to survive.
Whether she can wake up or not depends on these two children.
ā¦ā¦
Situ Yingsleeve walked and looked at this Zhuangzi.
Zhuangzi is very small, as small as a three-entry house.
It may not be small in the city, but in the suburbs where there are large open spaces, this Zhuangzi is really too small to see.
Maybe it's because she's too small, so it's not eye-catching, that she can hide her mother here for so long?
Situ Yingsleeve couldn't help but turn around and glance at the small mountain bag not far away.
It is where the ancestral grave of the Situ family is located.
It is also the place where Situ Yingsleeve buried the tomb of her mother.
It's really close to here.
Situ Chenlei looked around curiously and asked Situ Yingsleeve: "Sister, where are we going?" ā
Mama Shen turned her head in front of her, smiled with tears in her eyes, and said, "Miss, young master, the front is here." ā
Situ Yingsleeve took Situ Chenlei's hand and glanced up at Xie Dongli.
Xie Dongli didn't look at her, and went straight to the gate of the small courtyard with their sisters and brothers, and ordered his people to guard this place well, before following Mama Shen in.
In a place where Situ Yingsleeve couldn't see, Xie Dongli also sent more heavy troops to guard it, and the entire small Zhuangzi was already impassable.
He was much more thoughtful than Situ Yingsleeve.
He knows very well that the fact that Shen Yongjie is still alive will have a great impact on the people and things in the capital!
Of course, at present, the most important thing is to wake up Shen Yongjie.
Only when she wakes up, can they slowly lay out and go back to the capital to kill each other by surprise!
