Chapter 009: The Old Man

Gui's mother ignored it, took the handkerchief basin, and came back and said to the Song family with certainty: "Can you trick the slave maid, can you trick yourself to go?" The slave knows that you don't know it! ”

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent.

A strand of hair slipped into the collar of his cheeks, itching slightly. Xie Shuning gritted her teeth and endured it, for fear that she would expose her stuffing if she moved.

I don't know how long it took for her to hear Gui's mother say softly again: "The slave is clumsy and can't speak, and her brain is not very bright, and many things can't help you." According to the slave maid, you should still write back and ask Mama Jiang to hurry up and go to Beijing. ”

"There is a long way between Kyoto and Yanling, and the nurse is old and in poor health, where can she withstand this bump." Song Shi answered in a deep voice, "However, if there is a nurse by my side, I can be a little more safe." ”

Xie Shuning listened with bated breath, but she couldn't remember which Mama Jiang was in their words.

Vaguely, there seemed to be an image of a thin and stern woman flashing in my mind, but if I wanted to see it more clearly, I couldn't. The others are more and more unable to think of it. In her previous life, after she returned to the Xie family, she didn't seem to have seen this Mama Jiang. Now listening to her mother, Mama Jiang is sick, so she didn't follow them to Beijing this time.

But when you are sick, there will always be a day when you will be cured.

In her previous life, why did she never enter Beijing?

Or, what prevented you from entering Xie's house?

For a while, Xie Shuning's heart turned a thousand times.

Judging only from the words of Mother Gui and the Song family, she can know Mama Jiang's ability. In any case, Mama Jiang should at least be a person who is proficient in the affairs of the inner house. And the more such people there are at this time, the better! The most important point is that in the previous life, the Song family ended up depressed, and now if there is that Mama Jiang by her mother's side, maybe things can be very different.

Thinking like this, she moved her mind.

Just as he was about to open his eyes, there seemed to be a commotion outside.

Someone hurriedly came in, "Madam, we have too many things to fit here." The sixth master sent a slave to ask you, whether the rest of the people found another place to stay, or simply moved to this Zhilan Zhai. ”

"Can't be placed?" Song blurted out in surprise.

"No, there is a sparrow-sized land in this house, where is there enough to put it!" It's a slightly impetuous female voice.

Xie Shuning almost laughed out loud when she heard this, and a group of people from the Xie family were already stunned looking at the Song family's dowry and luggage.

In the eyes of the third old lady and the Chen family, her mother was originally just the daughter of a businessman, and her identity and knowledge were not as good as others. I came all the way to Beijing, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bring a few pieces of luggage. As everyone knows, what they see now is only part of it.

She remembered that her mother was afraid that the distance would be too long and there would be too many things, so she only brought some of them with her. The rest were divided into two, and those that were inconvenient to take away remained in Yanling and were taken care of. Mother's dowry, as well as some antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other things, were escorted to Beijing by the dart board. Count the days, that is, these days.

A convoy of objects, it is really no wonder that the Xie family is tempted. Whoever in the world does not love money, and those who are officials love it even more.

Up and down, people come and go, where will you not need silver? and self-proclaimed hairpin family, all busy studying and being officials, not good at general affairs, how much income can those shops and Zhuangzi have all year round?

The cost of running water, where can a few broken officials afford it? The difference between the two is just equal.

A bunch of stuff with swollen faces and fat people!

Xie Shuning secretly disdainful, and listened to Song's words in her ears: "In this case, I'll go there myself." ”

This time when they entered Beijing, they didn't bring many people, so there were even fewer people around my mother who could use them. When Xie Shuning quietly opened her eyes, she saw that Gui's mother had sent the eldest maid Rose, who had been waiting in her room, in, and she went out to follow her mother.

In a moment, there was no one in the house.

When everyone was silent, Xie Shuning opened his eyes and looked at the room he was in.

The Chen family has a good face, and no matter what, he will not treat anyone harshly on these daily trivial matters, so the decorations that should be in the house have already been selected and put away. also knew that they had arrived today, and the earth dragon had already been burned, so he was afraid that the people in the south would be cold, so he lit an extra brazier in the corner. At this moment, there is a steady stream of heat coming out of it, warming the room.

"Sister Rose." Xie Shuning turned her head and called to the rose sitting on the pestle.

"Ah, Miss is awake." Hearing this, Rose raised her head, with a happy face, smiling brightly, "Miss is thirsty, the slave will pour you a glass of water?" ”

When I woke up on the hot kang, I was sweating again, and I was naturally thirsty. Xie Shuning nodded.

Rose got up, walked hurried to a long table by the wall, picked up the teapot and made a teacup of water. She put the teacup on the kang table, and then carefully helped Xie Shuning to get up, supported her back with one hand, and was about to fetch the teacup to feed her, but saw that the curtain at the door was suddenly opened, and a woman with a long face came in, and her voice was hearty: "When did Miss Eighth wake up, the slave maid is actually late." ”

"Mother Li!" Xie Shuning looked over, waited until he saw the person clearly, and subconsciously exclaimed in a low voice.

Seeing the corners of her mouth twitching, the woman with a long face couldn't help but approach quickly, and said, "What did Miss Eight say?" ”

Xie Shuning was taken aback, and immediately secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was far away, and she did not raise her voice to shout, and the people who came did not hear what she said clearly. She shook her head, and looked away at Rose and motioned for her to bring the teacup, but Rose was looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Water!" Xie Shuning lowered her eyes and deliberately puffed out her cheeks and puffed out her cheeks.

Rose hurriedly went to fetch the teacup, but was preempted by the woman with a long face.

"Miss Eight, drink slowly." Holding the teacup in one hand, she said to Xie Shuning with a smile, "Miss Eight slept well?" There is a lot of chaos ahead, and the sixth master and his wife can't get away now, so the wife will use a slave to take care of you. You can call the slave and maid Mother Li. ”

At the end of the conversation, Xie Shuning's face remained unchanged, but the rose on the side turned pale, but fortunately, Mother Li, who only cared about feeding Xie Shuning water, did not notice it.

Xie Shuning, on the other hand, swallowed the warm white water in small sips until a teacup of water was exhausted, then she tilted her head to look at Mother Li and smiled, and said, "Mother Li? But I already have Mother Gui to take care of me! ”

The smile on Li's mother's face froze, "Mother Gui came from Jiangnan with Miss Eight, and she is not familiar with life in Kyoto, so she sent the slave maid with her wife." ”

She is not from the Song family.

Xie Shuning knew that the wife in her mouth was referring to the Chen family, and a meaningful smile flashed on her fleshy little face, and she said softly: "Oh, that's the case." After speaking, without waiting for Li's mother to react, she immediately said, "Then what will you do?" ”
