Chapter 18: Running away from home
Mrs. Qiu didn't let Li Rui study, but let him follow his decision to farm After the spread in the Guogong Mansion, the subordinates inevitably whispered for a while when they got together.
After a long sigh, everyone agreed that a child without a father and a mother is bitter!
Gu Qing couldn't look at these long sighs, or rather, no one dared to show her. Since Mama Hua began to assist in the management of the inner courtyard, even a fly flew in in the North Garden to figure out who put it. returned to the countryside to live in Li Rui, and there were only some rough jobs left in it with the sweeping girls and the old women, and the affairs of the masters were not clear.
Therefore, Gu Qing is reading with Li Rui every day instead of urging Li Rui to write and the like, and it can't be passed on.
Gu Qing is now planning to find a way to go out in the near future to find "foreign aid". Mrs. Wang's son had already contacted the little fat man's uncle, and the people in the house over there handed a message to Mrs. Wang, saying that her wife was going to the "Rushi Nunnery" to worship the Buddha in the fifteenth year, hoping to meet her.
It stands to reason that if the old lady of the mansion wants to find a master to teach his grandson in the courtyard, it is natural, and there is no need to make such a big detour, but firstly, Gu Qing's Chinese studies are too poor, and she doesn't know what kind of master is a good master, and secondly, she is afraid that the Fang clan will find out and come up with some conspiracy, she is not the material for the house fight, and she will inevitably suffer.
Therefore, it is the only way to slowly adjust and teach Li Rui secretly.
Li Rui heard in the courtyard that he didn't have to go to the front to study, and in shock, he broke the teacup in his hand.
Although he also had some thoughts of "breaking the jar and breaking it" before, there was a big difference between it and being told "you are not that piece of material, and the book should not be read".
Farming? He is a young master of the dignified national mansion, even if he can't be knighted in the future, he can still be crowned an official of about five grades in the shadow. He will only farm now, and when he goes out in the future, won't his colleagues laugh to death?
Li Rui felt that he couldn't sit and wait, he had to protest.
In view of the fact that he had fainted from his grandmother last time and was whipped half to death, he decided to change the method of resistance.
For example-
Running away from home!
In the vegetable field, Gu Qing, who had not waited for the little fat man until the third pole of the day, was very strange. At this time on weekdays, Li Xiaopang had already gone to the vegetable field in a dusty outfit.
"Is Rui'er up? Don't oversleep. Gu Qing asked Mrs. Jiang, who was responsible for getting Li Rui up every day. She picked this mother-in-law at that time, just to see that she looked scary, which was very suitable for waking up children.
"Mrs. Yu, the old slave has already woken up Young Master Rui in the morning and watched him get up and change his clothes and wash." Mrs. Jiang lowered her head and replied, showing with great certainty that Li Rui was definitely not lying in bed.
"What's going on? Mrs. Jiang, you take a few little girls to return to the countryside to see what's going on. ”
Isn't it that you are tired of farming and ran?
I think she was bored with reading when she was a child, and she often thought about running away from home.
The subordinates who returned to the pastoral residence told Gu Qing in a panic that Li Rui was gone.
Gu Qing was not in a hurry at all. This is not a modern era with developed transportation, where can a little fat man go?
Gu Qing, who was trained by the cats who were often lost at home, and was familiar with the road, just thought for a few seconds before he began to command the people.
"Grandma Sun, you go and take a look at the four gates of the house, and ask Rui'er if she went out in the morning and where she went. If you go out on your own, send someone to chase after you on horseback, and if you go out with someone else, ask who you are with and then send someone to chase you. Mama Hua, Xiangyun, Qiyun, you follow me to look for it in the North Garden and the West Garden. ”
Li Xiaopang's body shape is so special, as long as he walks on the road, someone will always pay attention!
Gu Qing's composure made the expressions of the other subordinates calm down a lot. At any time, the backbone of the Lord stands there reliably, and it can always make people calm down.
"Be quiet, don't alarm the East Garden."
"Yes!"
Grandma Sun's man was in charge of the carriage and horses, and she went to ask Simen about the most suitable situation. Gu Qing took Mama Hua and the two big girls to find the Zhiyun Courtyard, the Carved Bow Tower and the Guitian Garden in the North Garden, but they didn't see Li Rui's shadow.
There was nothing missing in the house, not clothes, no loose money, and no valuable furnishings in the house. Gu Qing felt that Li Rui should not have run away. It would be silly to run away from home without a penny.
If you are really stupid like that, don't think about helping him, just wash it yourself, find a beam and hang him.
"Cangshu, where did your master go, do you know?"
Leaving this girl is worried that Li Rui is unfamiliar with life in this new environment, which will backfire.
Although she wants the little fat man to learn to be independent as soon as possible, but people have been reaching out for more than ten years, and the real "*" is the real one, and it is impossible for you to ask him to suddenly go to the dormitory with a college student.
Even if she was served like this for half a month, telling her to come back to the single dormitory in modern times by herself, I'm afraid it will take a while to get used to it.
"The slave doesn't know anything. The slave went to the laundry this morning. ”
Cang Shu said that he didn't know, but he was a little scared in his heart.
When she went out in the morning and saw the young master's somewhat flustered look, she knew that something might happen. But she chose not to say anything, and went to the laundry mother-in-law with the dirty clothes that the young master had changed last night.
Young Master Rui has been too bitter for a while. I ate coarse tea and light rice every day, ploughed the fields just after dawn, taught Mrs. Tai to read in the afternoon, and prepared homework for Mrs. Tai's homework for the next day in the evening......
God pity! Which dynasty and generation have never seen the young master of the Gongfu family live like this! Wouldn't it be a joke to die if it spreads!
Now in order to accompany Mrs. Tai's happiness, I don't even read books!
After Grandma Sun left that day, she couldn't control her tears. The young master dropped the cup, she went to clean it up, and in a trance, she cut her hand.
People and masters have always been "one glory and one loss", although she has a big girl's example, but who in the house sees her as a serious big girl? Doesn't it just look like she's following Young Master Rui?
Usually the big girls in Yunyuan and Jinxiu Courtyard are all over the place, but now even an old woman in a vegetable field dares to rush her. She also has a little girl to serve in Qingcang Courtyard, and her mother-in-law is also flattering, what about now?
When the young master's matter gets big and reaches the ears of his wife and master, I'm afraid they can move back to Qingcang Courtyard. Even if the little servants are driven away, at least it is still Young Master Rui's territory, and there is no need to look at people's eyes.
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Gu Qing didn't want to do something that would lose her character, and that girl didn't seem to be as old as her cousin who was a high school student. She had no choice but to take Mama Hua to the West Garden to have a look.
When passing by the verandah of the West Garden, Mama Hua suddenly said:
"That Cangshu, I'm afraid I hid my words."
A girl of this age said that she was not lying, just look at her eyes.
"She knows something, but not what I want to know." Gu Qing sighed, "I'm afraid she didn't expect Rui'er to make trouble with the 'disappearance'." ”
"Mrs. Tai, at the age of Young Master Yirui, I'm afraid it is difficult to understand your kindness. He was still young, and he was raised in the past, and he looked like he was confused......"
"Someone is here, it seems to be someone from the Fang clan. Let's avoid it first. ”
Gu Qing's sharp eyes saw a grandmother and a little boy coming from the opposite side. That grandmother is the grandmother surnamed Liu who came to Zhiyun Courtyard last time, and the little boy looks familiar, but he doesn't know who it is.
Gu Qing pulled Mama Hua into the corner of the verandah, "I sit in the Xuan".
This is the West Garden, because Li Rui went to Mrs. Qiu, and many people have been kicked out recently because of Li Rui's high fever, and the West Garden is inevitably empty. There is not a single person in sight on the water pavilion of "I sit in the Xuan" and the verandah connecting the inner and outer courtyards. This is a great dereliction of duty in the government.
It seemed that as soon as Li Rui left, the Fang clan didn't want him back at all.
"How's it going? Your mother is worried that you are worried, so I have to ask me to come and see you. Did the last time you were beaten hurt? Next time this kind of thing means just pull a few clicks! ”
Mama Hua and Gu Qing stood behind the door, and Mama Liu's voice was clearly sent into the Xuan by the wind.
Mama Hua raised her eyebrows in surprise and made a "scholar" mouth shape at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing nodded.
I know, last time I accompanied Li Xiaopang to be beaten by the son of the Shangshu family.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'm all right here. Last time I was injured, Sister Cangyi gave me the best stick sore medicine, and it has been cured. It's just that the old lady didn't let me follow the young master to the North Garden, and I was bored here. It's all girls and mothers-in-law here, and they don't have many books to read, so it's weird and boring. The clear, unchanging voice of the young man came clearly.
"My good grandson! The medicine in Qingcang Courtyard, don't touch it! If it's injured and broken, secretly come to the Splendid Courtyard to find me, don't use what you have in the courtyard, especially the rest of the master! ”
"Why, Grandma Uncle?"
Mama Liu can't say if she is suffering, do you want to say that the medicine in Qingcang Courtyard has been manipulated? She has no grandson herself, and she treats her brother's grandson as her own, how can she say such a selfish thing? I don't have to teach bad children!
"You don't care why, just remember. Your young master Narui is a dou who can't be helped, and the goods in his stomach are not as many as yours, so he really has no future with him. You wait for a while, and when I finish some errands, I will go and ask my wife for a favor and get you out and send you to Young Master Ming on an errand. ”
Mama Liu looked at Liu Dong lovingly, he was the smartest child in their family, and he couldn't be buried in the West Garden.
"I think Young Master Rui is not bad, by the way, the handwriting is also very beautiful!"
"What's the use of just being able to write? Can you get out of the picture? Do you want to be a scholar for the rest of your life? ”
"Don't!"
"Well, if you follow Young Master Rui, your life will be ruined."
The two of them met and chatted on the verandah for a while, mostly doing some homely things, such as "your sister has found someone's home", or "remember to go to her house next time".
Gu Qing and Mama Hua were a little impatient.
Fortunately, Mama Liu is not the kind of idle mama. As Fang's henchman, she has many errands to supervise every day. After comforting Liu Dong for a few words, Mama Liu asked Liu Dong to go back quietly and told him not to let the people in Zhiyun Courtyard know about their relationship.
"By the way, if there is anything going on in the Qingcang Courtyard, you can ask Su Pozi, who is watching the corner gate in your courtyard, to find me. I can't come often, be alert yourself. ”
"What does it look like?"
"It's all about your young master."
"I see. Auntie, go slowly! ”
The voices of the two faded into obscurity, and after a while, they became completely quiet.
As soon as the two left, Mama Hua hurriedly sat down on the platform with Gu Qing in her arms. After standing for a long time, Gu Qing's legs actually trembled a little.
Gu Qing smiled bitterly and looked at the left side of his body that he had been shaking. Is this a sign that a stroke is getting worse? Not only would I be dizzy from being tired after standing for a while, but now I even have trembling hands and feet......
After taking care of Li Rui's affairs, hurry up and commit suicide! She doesn't want Yoneda to live on everything!
"These betrayed minions! I didn't think that the scholar seemed to be good, but he was also a person who couldn't be used. Mama Hua pinched Gu Qing's shoulder and said with some concern:
"Even Mama Liu knows that someone in Young Master Rui's medicine has done something tricky, so this must be done by Madame. I just don't know if the old man knows it. This time, Young Master Rui died for nine deaths, if it weren't for Mrs. Tai, you saw that the medicine was wrong, I'm afraid Young Master Rui would not be good. ”
"I can't take care of this now, Qingcang Courtyard can't let Rui'er go back to live until it's cleaned up. The kid named Liu Dong didn't move yet, but now that he has changed, the Fang clan doesn't know who will come in the fortress when he turns around. "Gu Qing looks down on the Fang family, she is already a duchess of the country, and she is actually afraid that a child will rob the position of the duke. Those who attack children are rotten people who are intolerable!
"It's imperative to find Rui'er as soon as possible. If he ran to a place where no one was around, it would be possible for the Fang clan to take advantage of the opportunity to harm him. This Fang clan, for the sake of her son's status as a son, is simply crazy! Gu Qing patted the small table on the platform and gritted his teeth angrily.
"How many people are still her in this Qingcang Courtyard, I feel creepy when I think about it. What can a small child be protected against? She didn't want to think about whether her mother-in-law would be able to sit still if it weren't for the East Window Incident! The hat of the duchess of her country is about to be taken off, and his son is still a son! ”
"Bang!" !!
"Who's there?"
"What sound?" Mama Hua and Gu Qing were taken aback.
The screen of "Breeze and Bright Moon I" in "I Sitting Xuan" collapsed violently.
Li Rui behind the screen was full of panic, and his face was as white as paper.
