Chapter 190: Words from the Heart
As soon as Qingluo opened it, there seemed to be something churning in her heart, she subconsciously didn't want to look at it anymore, and with a wave of her hand, she wanted to throw it away, but she was caught by one of the small words.
The signature below is Lin Zhengqing.
Is it her father?
She couldn't help but straighten out the paper and look at it from the beginning.
It reads uprightly: Set up the house book, the Lin family of Lijia Village in the north of Jizhou City is clear, and now it is difficult to eat because of the year. A girl named Qingluo, eight years old, born on the tenth day of the first month of March, was not built from time to time, willing to sell to the Zhao family as a slave, let the lesson, if the night landscape is unpredictable, each from the destiny of heaven. Both sides are willing, and each has no regrets. And approve the payment of three taels of silver. I'm afraid that there will be no evidence in the future, so I will take this and take it.
"Young grandmother, in fact, at that time...... Your father is going to sell you. But he said that you are the most stubborn, and if you don't let you die, you will do anything, so he lied that he was sold by your mother......"
As the housekeeper's mother spoke, she found that the atmosphere was a little solemn, she became frightened, kowtowed and continued to explain: "Young grandma, the old slave couldn't help it at that time, Madame urged it tightly, and the asking price here is low......"
Qingluo hung her head, tears flowing down involuntarily, one drop after another on the old notepaper.
"Three taels of silver, it turned out that only three taels of silver sold me......"
She said angrily, the original scene in her mind.
For some reason, all the scenes of that day were deeply rooted in her heart, and now that she thinks about it again, it turns out to be a different result.
It turned out that the reason why my father appeared outside the Zhao family in such a timely manner was not because he chased her to save her, but because he was watching from the sidelines after selling her.
He touched it for a long time, and only took out three taels of silver from his pocket. Said to ransom her.
Actually, those three taels of silver. It was by selling her that she got ......
Look at the deed of sale in your hand soaked with tears. muttered: "If the mountains and rivers are unpredictable at night, each according to the destiny of ......"
She couldn't help but clench her hands: "If I really can't think about it and hit my head and die, won't he frown?" ”
"Qingluo ......" Zhao Boxuan looked at her distressedly, wanting to reach out and take away the deed of sale, but he didn't dare, afraid that it would stimulate her even more.
He suddenly turned to glare at the housekeeper's mother, and asked angrily, "You come here at night." Just want to say this? ”
The housekeeper's mother hurriedly defended: "Young master, the old slave did this only when he was loyal to his wife!" Now that the truth is being told again, it is also because he is loyal to the young master and the young grandmother! The old slave swore to the sky that he had no second heart for the Zhao family and the young master and grandmother! ”
The corners of Zhao Boxuan's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes stared at the housekeeper's mother gloomily, but he said, "I know that you have no two hearts." ”
When the housekeeper's mother heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, and kowtowed to Zhao Boxuan and said, "Young master is reasonable! The young master is reasonable! The old slave will definitely do his best to be loyal to the young master and the Zhao family all his life! ”
Zhao Boxuan was not angry. This made the housekeeper's mother breathe a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the guy from the infirmary was right. As subordinates, we should keep our eyes open and see who is the master.
Seeing that the young grandmother's mother-in-law has come to the door, the truth of the year will be shaken out sooner or later, rather than living in fear and being frightened, it is better to confess and be lenient, and maybe you can win a sentence of loyalty.
Now that Master Zhao has not yet died, although most of the Zhao family has fallen into the hands of the young lady and the uncle, the young master is still the heir of the master.
What is the final result of the end, she is the life of a slave, just to please the young lady and the aunt is not enough, and the young master and the young grandmother can't be left behind.
The housekeeper's mother was complacent about her far-sighted decision, when she suddenly heard a cold voice above her head: "Have you finished what you want to say?" ”
She glanced up at Zhao Boxuan, and was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head: "Speak...... That's it. ”
Was it her delusion? Why is the young master's face so terrifying?
Sure enough, it was her delusion, because the young master's voice brought a smile again: "Think about it, don't leave anything behind......"
The housekeeper's mother nodded again and again: "Nothing has been left behind, it's all finished." ”
As long as the loyalty table is in place, there is no need to rub it off, and the young master also said that the young grandmother should rest earlier, and there is still a little conscious housekeeper mother, and after the words are finished, she will not tremble and stay more.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Boxuan's face suddenly turned cold again, and his voice was heavily suppressed: "Since you're done, why don't you leave?" ”
The housekeeper's mother trembled with fright, and was just about to get up, when the door behind her creaked open, and she broke out in a cold sweat in vain, and hurriedly bowed and bowed out of the door.
When I got out of the house, I wiped the sweat on my forehead with my cuffs.
Who said that the young master's madness was cured? Clearly still moody and nervous......
After the housekeeper's mother left, Zhao Boxuan sat on the edge of the bed again.
At that time, Qingluo had stopped crying, but looked at the deed of sale in her hand with blank eyes.
Zhao Boxuan said tentatively and softly: "Qingluo, don't look at it anymore, okay?" ”
He gently grabbed her shoulder with one hand, grabbed the deed of sale with the other, and slowly pulled it out of her hand.
I don't know how long it took for Qingluo to throw herself into his arms and cry loudly.
Zhao Boxuan kissed her forehead and coaxed softly, the deed of sale slowly folded in his palm, and he stared at one place, his eyes heavy.
The next day, Miss Zhao ordered the maid to go down and urge the housekeeper's mother to hand over the account book inside and outside Zhao's house yesterday, and by the way, all the maids and servants who had entered her house were called together to ask questions.
Miss Zhao got up this morning to make up, opened the makeup box and saw that there was only one jasper drop earring left in what should have been a pair of jasper drop earrings. She searched the house but couldn't find it, and she suspected that some careless maid had stolen it.
The maid went to the outer courtyard to shout several times, but she didn't see the housekeeper's mother coming, and Miss Zhao was even more anxious.
Aunt Zhou was angry and asked people to immediately go to find the housekeeper's mother, and this search was found at dusk.
The last glow of light in the west was gradually swallowed up by the sky, and a scream from the lantern maid pierced the quiet evening.
The maids and servants who passed by gathered one after another, and saw a person floating in the lotus pond. When I salvaged it, I saw that it was the housekeeper's mother who had disappeared for a day.
The maids were so frightened that they screamed again and again.
Miss Zhao was even more frightened and hid under the covers and didn't dare to get out of bed.
The lotus pond is very close to Miss Zhao's room. She had to cross the small arched bridge over the pond to get in and out on weekdays. Thinking about the death of people down here. How dare you go in the future?
What's even more bizarre is that two rag dolls with their heads screwed off were also found in the arms of the housekeeper's mother, with the names of Miss Zhao and Aunt Zhou sewn on them, and the earrings that she couldn't find anywhere were held tightly in the hands of the housekeeper's mother......
Regarding the death of the housekeeper's mother, there are different opinions in the house, some say that the housekeeper's mother accidentally fell down, and some say that the housekeeper's mother failed to harm Miss Zhao and Aunt Zhou. Instead, he fell into evil spirits, and when he walked to the lotus pond, he planted himself headlong.
Aunt Zhou has always whitewashed the peace in front of Master Zhao, and the matter of taking care of her mother naturally cannot reach the ears of Master Zhao. Zhao Boxuan was already crazy and stupid, and he didn't let him interfere in this matter.
And Aunt Zhou herself was also frightened, so she had to let her son-in-law come forward to deal with the aftermath.
The son-in-law is a quick knife to cut through the mess, and all the maids and servants in the Zhao family who have a little relationship with the housekeeper's mother have been sent away, and the death of the housekeeper's mother is also said to be accidental drowning.
But everyone knows that the death of the housekeeper's mother is strange.
Miss Zhao was scared to a serious illness, and since then she has heart palpitations and weakness, and she can't sleep at night. I didn't bother to ask about Mi Xing, and I left it to my son-in-law to take care of.
My sister's body is sick. Zhao Boxuan naturally had to go and greet him.
Seeing Miss Zhao trembling wrapped in the quilt, Aunt Zhou was anxious, Zhao Boxuan couldn't help but smile coldly.
This is just the beginning.
He will ask them to pay for the sins committed by their mother and daughter......
On the other hand, although Sister-in-law Chu was very sad that she couldn't recognize her daughter, she thought that Qingluo was doing well in the Zhao family, and she had let go of the burden in her heart over the years, and she stayed in the hospital for a day, and then she was ready to get up and go back to Hezhou.
Su Xue didn't do much to persuade her to stay, and told Ah Zheng to rent a carriage.
Although the mother and daughter were not reunited, they finally saw Qingluo, and Sister-in-law Chu thanked Su Xue and Miao Meng for her kindness before getting into the carriage and leaving.
Not long after leaving here, the Zhao family came to a few small houses to invite Sister-in-law Chu into the house.
Ah Zheng pointed to the direction where Sister-in-law Chu's carriage left and said, "Hurry up, maybe you haven't left the city yet." ”
Those little guys thanked Ah Zheng and turned around to chase after him.
Ah Zheng stood at the door of the medical hall and looked at it for a while, before hurriedly coming up to the second floor again.
"Doctor Su, as you expected, the Zhao family sent someone to find Sister-in-law Chu."
Su Xue was looking at the medical case book recorded by Zhang Xiang, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but smile, raised her head and said, "Sister-in-law Chu can do this, thanks to your clever tongue and persuasion of the old mother." ”
Ah Zheng smiled: "That old mother often comes to the hospital to grab medicine, and she is familiar with me when she comes and goes, otherwise she would not be willing to listen to my nagging." What's more, what I said is also from the bottom of my heart, even if we are buddies, we have to keep our eyes open to see which one is a serious doctor, let alone in the Zhao family? ”
Su Xue looked at Ah Zheng meaningfully after hearing this, and said, "According to what you say, if this medical hall changes hands again, you will also be busy showing your loyalty and explaining Dr. Zhang Xiang one by one?" ”
Ah Zheng was originally a previous buddy, and when Zhang Xiang first took over the medical hall, there were still many problems, but Ah Zheng helped to explain all the previous accounts to Zhang Xiang, so that Zhang Xiang took over the medical hall at the lowest price.
This made the previous Dr. Zhang so angry that he vomited blood.
Su Xue thought that Ah Zheng would be a little ashamed to say it like this, but unexpectedly, he still smiled and said: "We are just doing chores, don't we wag our tails at whom?" ”
Su Xue couldn't help but smile when she heard this, she knew that Ah Zheng was deliberately playing tricks, not the truth.
Miaomeng on the side couldn't hear this, and pointed to Ah Zheng in surprise: "Look at you poor mouth, wait for Dr. Zhang to listen, and be the first to sweep you out of the door!" ”
Ah Zheng hurriedly smiled bitterly and confessed: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'd better go down and work first." ”
After that, he slipped away and went down.
Looking at Ah Zheng's monkey-like appearance, Miaomeng couldn't cry or laugh.
Su Xue only smiled: "Don't be annoyed, he is all joking." Dr. Zhang treats them well, and they will naturally not be ungrateful. ”
Sister-in-law Chu had already made up her mind to go back to Hezhou, but she didn't expect to be stopped by a few small servants as soon as she arrived at the city gate, and she was invited back to Zhao's house.
When she walked to the gate, there was a maid waiting, and when she saw Sister-in-law Chu coming, she led her through the side door and went to Qingluo's room.
Because of the previous encounter, Sister-in-law Chu was still a little trembling, but after hearing Qingluo crying at her mother, she snorted, and had no other words, and stepped forward to hug Qingluo and cry bitterly.
Qingluo has liked to stick to Sister-in-law Chu since she was a child, and now that she has been separated for five years, she has a full stomach to confide.
Zhao Boxuan didn't bother, but only began to instruct his subordinates to go and make sure that Sister-in-law Chu's steamed bun shop in Hezhou was done, but Sister-in-law Chu didn't say that it would be sold, so he couldn't let the shop's business be sluggish. (To be continued......)
