CHAPTER XXXIII
When I arrived at the restaurant, the shopkeeper saw that Xuan Lin came, and gave an extra plate of beef and a cup of osmanthus wine, I happily picked up the wine cup and poured it into the cup to drink, but Xuan Lin sat still as if he was still.
"What do you have to say?"
"I don't know."
"Don't know? Then I'll come to eat and drink for nothing, and I won't be full in your house anyway. ”
Xuan Xiao sighed and said, "My mother told me to marry a wife quickly. ”
I took a sip of wine, smacked my lips and said, "Then marry, so many good girls want to marry you, it's not difficult to choose, right?" ”
"But I don't want to take a wife so casually."
"An heir like you has no chance of getting married according to his own wishes, anyway, his father and mother will marry whoever he wants, you wait for Lingtang to give you advice."
"I don't want to marry a wife like that, I want to marry what I really like."
I looked at Xuan Li's somewhat childish and determined face, sneered, and said, "Although I don't want to hit you, many times it backfires. ”
"I know I'll laugh at me if I hear that, but I'd like to give it a try."
I took a bite of beef, chewed it slowly, and said, "Actually, I'm not in a position to laugh at you, but this kind of thing seems too unlikely to happen to me." Did Ling Tang mention what kind of girl he wanted you to marry? ”
"My mother said that Lin Han and Lin Lan are good, but I think if Lin Han marries his brother, how can I be embarrassed to marry Lin Lan again? Besides, Master Lin will definitely not let Lin Lan marry me, and there is no need for the government to be between the houses. ”
I think about it, the marriage between the general government is to get the greatest benefit from each other, such as the collusion between officials or the mutual support can stand more firmly in the officialdom, if Lin Han is already married to Xuan Kai, then Lin Lan will not marry Xuan Li.
"What else?"
"There is no one else. Maybe in my mother's eyes, only the people of the Lin Mansion can be worthy of us. But I don't think so. ”
"Ling Tang has been used to being high all her life, and she can't be blamed for this. The big families in the capital, as well as the Sheng Mansion, the Zhang Mansion, and the Chang Mansion, no one will choose for you, unless you don't dislike their identity as maids. ”
"Maid? Aren't you also a maid? ”
I almost squirted out a sip of wine, squinted at him, and said with a smile: "I'm not a simple maid, aren't you afraid that when I will take a business order and kill you?" ”
Xuan Xiao poured a glass of wine and said with a wry smile: "When the time comes, I hope you will leave me a whole corpse." ”
I didn't take it to heart, I brought up Muyang's matter, and Xuan Xiao said: "Muyang is planning to leave the officialdom recently, maybe he will become a pianist or something, I don't think he is suitable for working in the officialdom." ”
"Yes, but I don't want his good talent to be buried, if the court really needs him, I hope he can be reused."
"I think so too, I will go to his house to see him when I have the opportunity and ask him about his plans."
"Take me there, I want to see him too."
"When?"
"I can do it anytime, Madame is so indulgent to me, if you blame it, say that you have to take me there."
Xuan Xiao's face changed, and then he said helplessly: "I was targeted by a killer, and the killer also saved my life, what qualification do I have to refuse." ”
Later, he said some innocuous words, Xuan Lin said that when he wanted to take me there, he would go to Changfu to find me, and we came out of the restaurant, and after parting ways, as soon as I stepped into Changfu, Ah Yan rushed over and shouted: "Liu Chunfang is going to give birth!" I was about to call a midwife! ”
I was anxious and said, "I'll call!" You look at her first! ”
After that, I ran to the hospital, hired a midwife, and hurried to Changfu.
Liu Chunfang was born a little early, but life is at stake, I just hope that there is nothing wrong with the child.
After an hour, Liu Chunfang's screaming finally stopped, and my wife and I walked to the door, and the midwife came out of the house with blood on her hands, came to us, and said, "Tell Madame, mother and child are safe." ”
It turned out to be a son, and Madame was by my side, so I stumbled unconsciously, and I hurriedly supported her.
"Madame!" I called out, and Madame waved her hand weakly and said, "I'm fine." ”
"Let's go back to the house and rest!"
I supported Madame, slowly moved back to the house step by step, poured hot water for Madame, Ayan comforted Madame on the side, and said: "How the lord is to Madame, we all know it, Madame doesn't have to worry, the old man just wants a offspring......"
I wouldn't say anything, just watch Madame drink the water, and immediately go and add it.
"Although I always wanted to get to today, I didn't expect it...... I still can't bear it. ”
I felt distraught. Although I am just a maid, I have thought that if my wife wants me to kill Liu Chunfang one day, I will never hesitate. This woman has brought a lot of harm to Mrs., Mrs. is an inferior person in her bones, and she was ridiculed by Liu Chunfang, who has always been reluctant to cause trouble, which makes Liu Chunfang even more arrogant.
Madame didn't eat well, so I grabbed some appetizing herbs for Madame to drink, Madame didn't know, just regarded it as the same tonic as usual, and asked me why it tasted different. I just said that I changed to a similar herb.
Seeing that Madame was able to eat well, Ah Yan and I were relieved. Liu Chunfang didn't let us see her child, and specially called the maid to inform us, and we didn't want to take the initiative to see it, and the hostility between the two sides became even greater for a while.
The lord came back from the palace two days later, and went to see the child first, and then returned to the lady's room, and the lady asked, "Is the child all right?" ”
“…… Good. ”
"That's good."
The old man sat down and said, "If you don't want to see the child, don't look at it." ”
"I want to meet, I like children, and you don't know it." Madame said with her head bowed. The old man said softly: "If it's still cold today, I'll bring you a hug in a few days." ”
The lord doesn't like people to be around, and it is estimated that he often has something to tell his wife about officialdom, so as not to be heard by us. People in officialdom are greedy for profit, even if the old man is innocent, there must be many things that we can't understand.
So Ah Yan and I were "driven away" by the master, not long after returning to the house, I remembered that Mrs. still had a taste of medicine that had not been boiled, as soon as I got out of the house, I saw the master and Xuan Lin walking in together, the master saw me, said something to Xuan Lin, and left, Xuan Lin came over and said, "Go to Muyang tomorrow, he is no longer in the palace." ”
"Is it a long way?"
"It's a bit far, at least not close to Changfu."
"Then you can tell Mrs. Chang for me." I said with a grin.
"Okay, they're all here anyway, I'll go to Madame and talk to me."
Behind him, there was a sudden "Ah! With a bang, I hurriedly ran towards Ah Yan's house, only to see Ah Yan sitting on the ground, her right hand covered in blood, and next to it was a broken teapot.
"I'll see." I gently took her hand, saw a few deep scars, and frowned, "How did you get so deep?" ”
"I ...... I don't know, I just wanted to try if the water in it was hot, but I didn't expect the kettle to shatter on the table as soon as my hand slipped......"
"It's okay, I'll give you the medicine."
I went out of the house and took Xuan Lin to my house, then took some medicine and turned back to Ah Yan.
"I don't think I'll be able to serve Madame tomorrow...... When you meet the stars, I guess I'm going to ask you again. ”
"It's okay, I'll serve Madame."
"But don't you have something to go out?"
"What's there, just see someone, see you another day."
Ah Yan nodded, I picked up the debris in her hand, bandaged it briefly to stop the bleeding, and then went to explain the situation to Xuan Li.
