Chapter Thirty-Eight: To the Pufa Temple
The days have entered the wax moon in a blink of an eye, the weather seems to be colder, close to the end of the year, and the streets are also lively. Every household began to talk about the size of the New Year, and it seemed that even the air was filled with a strong smell of the New Year.
Qin Daixin is a modern person, and her concept of the New Year's Festival is inherently weak, plus she has a special profession and no family, so she only celebrates with Feng'er every Christmas, even if it is the New Year.
The annual customs and festivals of Dayong Kingdom are similar to those of ancient China, and although she has not personally experienced many festivals, she also knows how to live them. It's just that in the past half a year, she has either been injured or punished, and she has no chance to experience it at all, and she has even missed the climbing festival that people value more. Fortunately, it is already the lunar month, and this highlight of the Spring Festival, I must be able to experience it in person.
Qin Daixin's body had recovered, and she could no longer hide in the house under the pretext of discomfort, she recovered early and woke up in the morning, and ran to the old lady and Fang's house twice a day. Fortunately, the two of them didn't seem to treat her very well, and they always sent a few words to let her come back.
On this day, as soon as Qin Daixin came out of Fang's house, she asked Chunli to accompany her to Su Clan's place to sit. Approaching the end of the year, the things in each garden are one after another, just looking at Ruyi's busy feet that can't stop for a moment, Qin Daixin can imagine how troublesome the Spring Festival of the ancients was, there are many etiquettes and things to do, which makes her, a modern person, a headache. Sometimes she is often glad that although she is the daughter of a merchant, she is also dressed as a young lady who is served, and if she is dressed as a girl, won't she be busy to death?
Su's garden is also in full swing, the nurse instructed the girl to fill the yard with busy work, but it is just a sprinkling and sweeping, placement work, she does it with relish, probably thinks that Su is pregnant, the big guy has to have a happy year, so he is particularly attentive. Seeing that Qin Daixin was coming, he immediately put down the matter at hand and greeted him happily.
"Third Miss sit in the house quickly, it's cold outside, beware of the cold." The seniority and title of the nurse have always been a very sad thing, she is the nurse of the Su family, but whether Qin Daixin or Ruyi, they all call her the nurse, and no one calls her Zhao or Zhao's mother. The nurse is Su's dowry, and she calls Su "aunt" in front of outsiders, and when only her own people are left behind closed doors, she still calls her "Miss". Now that I see Qin Daixin, I also call her "Third Miss", which is not strange and chaotic.
It's just that maybe everyone is used to it, and no one explores this matter, Qin Daixin is just idle and thinks about it by chance.
"I'm coming to see my aunt." Qin Daixin wore a white rabbit fur cape, which was a pink and green leaf He Hua jacket, and a cyan dark satin skirt with a corset, revealing a pair of fluffy thick-soled plum blossom boots under the skirt, the whole person looked elegant and cute, which made the nurse's heart soften a little unconsciously.
This kid has already come out like this. Even if the Su family was beautiful and upright back then, I'm afraid it's just like that!
Fang Qiao heard the sound and picked up the curtain for Qin Daixin in person, and a girl helped take off her cloak at the outer door, and handed over the ambiguous stove. As soon as it was taken care of, Qin Daixin entered the house.
Su Shi was lying on the kang reading a book, and when he learned that she was coming, he hurriedly asked people to change the tea on the table and make it hot again. Qin Daixin took it and tasted it, and it turned out to be her favorite Yunshan Golden Tip.
The mother and daughter were talking and laughing, although it seemed inevitable that they were a little polite in the eyes of outsiders, but they didn't know that this way was the best way for Su and Qin Daixin to get along.
Su is a concubine, to put it mildly, she is half a master, to put it mildly, she is just a slave maid in the Qin Mansion, that is, she gave birth to a son and a half daughter, or she still has to watch being raised elsewhere, in the end, she is a slave, but her parents and children have become masters, and it is delusional to hear the child's voice "mother". The previous third young lady was bent on currying favor with the Fang family, and she almost ignored the Su family. Now although there is still an invisible and untouchable distance between Qin Daixin and her, her concern for herself is sincere, compared with before, it is simply a heaven and an underground, where can she not be satisfied?
As for Qin Daixin, although she longs for family affection, she is also used to being ruthless. The soul that crossed over always controlled this body that did not belong to her. On the one hand, she was full of guilt for Su, but on the other hand, she was also moved by a mother's love without asking for anything in return, so she naturally got close to Su, but there was a certain distance. In the eyes of outsiders, although there is a layer between them, it is reasonable because of the difference between master and servant.
"Recently, that Xiu Mei Ke is still safe?" Qin Dai was afraid that the Su family would be framed again, so she inquired again and again.
Before Su Shi could say anything, the nurse said quickly: "The injury is not healed yet, and I can't get off the ground, where can I be restless?" ”
"But it's been a few days, why are you still so strict?" Qin Daixin is very confident in the proportions of her hands, although she uses her strength, she is not so strict? Suddenly, she had an idea, and a question came to mind.
This is ancient times, the level of medical care is low, there is no antibiotic miracle medicine, neither can be fixed with plasters, nor can there be any surgery, and can only let people graft bones and slowly raise.
"But is there anything wrong?"
Of course, everyone understood what she meant, and the nurse continued: "Only Mrs. Ji came once, saying that she wanted to see Xiumei, but I was afraid that something would happen, so I asked people to stop her, and only said that her injury was not healed and she couldn't see the wind." ”
Mrs. Ji? Lee's housekeeper's mother? Qin Dai had a young but not beautiful face in her mind, and she muttered in her heart.
This Li family's child is only three years old, and if she really wants to frame the Su family, it makes sense. It's just that Ji's mother seems to be shrewd and capable, would she let Li do such a stupid thing? In case someone is exposed, the crime is not light!
"If she comes to see Xiumei next time, let her see her." It can't be stopped, so it's better to create a chance for them to meet and see what this Li family is going to do.
"Why?" The nurse asked in surprise: "Third Miss, this harmful disaster is really the Li family, this, isn't this equivalent to creating an opportunity for her?" ”
There were several people in the house, except for Qin Daixin and Su Shi, even the little girl Chunli had a worried look on her face.
"This Xiumei is already an outcast, if the Li family is really the culprit, then Ji's mother only has two purposes to come to see Xiumei." Qin Daixin took a sip of tea and said, "First, she came to find out the truth, although there are rumors in the mansion that I am angry with Xiumei, but her master may not believe it." Second, I don't think she had the guts. ”
"What is it?" The nurse was anxious to know the answer, but when she saw that the Su family around her looked like she had already known, she was even more impatient.
"My good young lady, speak quickly! I'm dying. Chunli and Fangqiao, who were on the side, also listened with strong ears, for fear of revealing a word by mistake.
Women really love gossip!
"Second, I'm afraid I'm here to kill people." As soon as the words fell, I saw that the nurse and the two girls had changed color, and their faces were white. Chun-Li has always been timid, so shocked that she gasped, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, her expression full of horror. They dare to murder their masters, let alone a girl with a death contract? I only hope that I don't mess with this god, otherwise I am afraid that my life will be lost.
Su Shi picked up a plum and said to the nurse: "Look at what you are fussing about, you scared the two girls." Ah Li didn't say it, she didn't have the courage to kill. ”
"What can't that kind of person do? Miss, you're just kind-hearted. "The nurse is the lowest suffering woman in the old society, and the more she has experienced, the more she thinks. She is most afraid of what harm Miss will suffer now, how can such a kind person as she suffer so much, is it really a good person to be embarrassed?
Qin Dai said in her heart: "It's just that she really wants to kill people and kill her mouth, and she doesn't dare to blatantly do it in her aunt's yard, right?" ”
"Well, what if she's going to take the blame! Kill someone, rely on our aunt's head. Even Fang Qiao also stood up to discuss, for fear that something would happen at this critical moment, there is a lot of power, no matter what she said is right or not, after all, she will help come up with some ideas and avoid risks.
Su Shi seemed to be very interested in Fang Qiao's statement, frowned slightly, Qin Daixin saw it in her eyes, and hurriedly said: "Auntie just need to raise the fetus with peace of mind, this matter will be able sooner or later." It's just a girl, even if it's a blame, how much sin can it be? ”
Hearing these words in the ears of Fang Qiao and Chunli, it was inevitable that they would sigh in their hearts. But in the ears of Su Shi and the nurse, it is different. In ancient times, the legal system was incomplete, and the life of a slave and maid was not worth the money of a cow, and it was legal to be killed by the master and sold. Although Qin Daixin is a modern person, she was not a good master before, so she resisted this kind of thing slightly in her heart, and accepted it.
Everyone had different thoughts for a while, but they all let go of their hanging hearts.
Su Shi spit out a fruit pit and took it from the dish on the table with his hand. Fang Qiao was a well-eyed person, and hurriedly found a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
"Ah Li, the seventh day of the first month, I want to go to the Pufa Temple."
*****************************
ps: Qin Daixin frowned silently, want to go to Pufa Temple? That's got to have a lot of recommendations and collections from all the officials!
