Chapter 7 Disobedient Son, Mistress and Mother
Although Lu Ning said that no one needed to follow him, Liu Hanchang still chose four errand officers who could ride horses, and with him, followed Lu Ning out of the city.
Gan Erlang was also in the team, riding a horse with an errand officer, and followed Lu Ning to the outside of Minghu Manor in a daze, before gradually coming back to his senses.
Looking at the majesty of this handsome young man, it must be the new county order, otherwise how could he have the right to pardon himself? Back to this Minghu Manor?
That is, his hard-working sister was sent to him as a slave?!
Then, he was secretly happy in his heart, I said, my sister is so dignified and beautiful, and what man is not tempted? It seems that this Xinming Mansion is also interested in his sister, so he loves the house and Wu and forgives himself.
Although my sister was a concubine from her mother, after all, this monstrous disaster took a turn for the better.
What's more, this Lord of the Ming Mansion is several decades younger than Liu Yi, and he is more handsome, and his sister is a concubine with him, which is several times stronger than being a wife and widow for Liu Wei.
Looking at Liu Hanchang, who was also waiting outside with him, Gan Erlang smiled and said, "It seems that this person in the Ming Mansion is very generous!" ”
Liu Hanchang smiled, "Erlang, I haven't had a chance to tell you, in the future, in our East China Sea, there will be no Ming Mansion, only the lord of the country, the Ming Mansion you are talking about is the lord of the country, do you hear?" Later called the next! The Holy Son of Heaven sealed the East China Sea Kingdom, and the lord of the country was the county prince. ”
Gan Erlang was stunned: "Huh? "I didn't react for a while.
Closure of the country? What dynasty and generation is this?
County Princess? Second-grade honorable position?
Just a talented young man?
Gan Erlang suddenly felt that his legs were a little weak.
But then, I was ecstatic, sister, is it the slave of the lord of the country? If you really become a concubine, you can really enter the Zhumen!
If you are favored again!
The entire Gan family, don't you want to soar?
……
Minghu Manor, pavilion building, very exquisite, with the style of Jiangnan Mingyuan.
At this time, in the guest hall of the inner house, the candlelight was like beans, and neither the Gan nor the Li family slept, waiting for Lu Ning to turn around.
The Gan family just took over the Li family, and according to Lu Ning's instructions, they all lived in this annex, and she still had some things to ask Lu Ning.
The news from the outside world has been closed, and I just heard that it seems that my second brother was arrested and put in prison.
Gan was anxious, although this brother has an exaggerated temperament, but after all, he is a blood relative.
Gan Shi thought, can he beg Lu Ning to let go of his second brother, maybe, he can see his affection for his family in the past and promise himself?
However, if he refuses, his face doesn't matter now, but second brother, where can he endure the hardships of prison? I'm afraid that within a few days, I will die of illness.
Looking at the faint candlelight, Li Shi was extremely distressed, and said, "Master, still, let's put out the wax torch......
"Old lady, you, don't call you that slave anymore." Gan returned to his senses.
She was still reserved in the face of Lu Ning, from beginning to end, she did not call Lu Ning "lord" or "master", nor did she call herself a slave and a maid, although she abided by the etiquette of a slave and a maid, and responded that she was in line with etiquette, but she had her own reserve.
It's just that in front of this kind woman who is still unusually respectful to herself, Gan doesn't have those reserves, in fact, in the past, she doesn't want to have such a loving mother as Li, so she loves herself and pities herself like her son, not like her own relatives, and wants to give herself to a bad old man to marry in order for the family to be more prosperous.
Yes, she respects Li as a mother, and she doesn't have any entanglements.
But Li's heart is very awkward, the former high-ranking master, but now she has become her own slave, bowing to herself in three steps, bowing to herself, kowtowing in five steps, she feels that if time goes by, she is afraid that she will lose her life.
Hearing that Li was going to extinguish the wax torch, Gan answered, and Ping Ting came to the candlestick, "The old lady can rest early, and when she gets up tomorrow morning, she can also see the county princess!" As he spoke, he prepared to blow out the candles.
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, but it was Xiao Cui, Gan's former personal maid, who ran in and said hurriedly: "The master mother ......" then saved, hurriedly bowed down, and said to the Li family: "Old lady, the lord is back!" ”
Her housemother was originally called Gan, and suddenly came back to her senses, to say that she and Gan, who were originally master servants, but now they are both maidservants, this kind of identity change, is also tormenting for her, after the person she is still the master mother to Gan, but in front of people, it is to be the same identity, which makes her very psychologically burdened.
Similarly, Gan's face Xiaocui, how can he not be extremely ashamed, the master mother has become a servant, and in the face of his former handmaid, how embarrassed is this mood?
While speaking, there were already footsteps outside, Lu Ning strode in, saw that his mother was not asleep, and after being slightly stunned, he saluted and said, "Mother, I want to take Mrs. Gan out for a trip, you can rest early." ”
In this world now, it is particularly dangerous to travel at night, and it is even more so for my mother, although it is only more than 30 miles from the county seat to Ganjia Village, but my mother knows that she is rushing at night, so she has to worry about death.
Therefore, Lu Ning did not say it explicitly.
Gan's and Xiaocui's are both stunned, so late at night, to take Gan's out, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.
"Where are you taking your mistress?" Li's face also changed slightly.
Lu Ning said with a smile: "Mother don't worry, just go to the city and come back in a few days." ”
I thought I could perfunctory the past.
Who knows, Li's face changed immediately, she suddenly reached out and slapped Lu Ning, hitting Lu Ning on the shoulder, "You, you disobedient son, if there was no mastermother, you and I would have died of starvation!" You are now doing this to your benefactor, you, you, I am not alive! ......" As he spoke, he was afraid of beating Lu Ning again and again.
Her slap said that it was hit Lu Ning's shoulder, but in fact, how much strength did she have? After a few strokes, his hand hurt so badly that he cried with a beating of his chest, "Your wings are stiff, I can't control you now, just let me die...... Otherwise, how can I see my mistress again with my old face?! ……”
Lu Ning has been working hard, but the family has to sell the property, Li helps people wash the pulp until late at night to supplement the family, her hands are full of calluses, and she is sick, but she has never complained, let alone scolded Lu Ning, for Lu Ning, it is really a loving mother and a child.
But today, she scolded Lu Ning for being disobedient and looking for death, and Lu Ning encountered this kind of scene for the first time.
A little dumbfounded, Lu Ningxin said What's wrong with this? He knelt down and asked, "Mother, are you uncomfortable living here?" How about I come back and help you renovate your house like your old home? "Mom, is this a disease of poverty? Not used to being rich?
"You, you, you're mad at me? You're still going, aren't you?!!How many more days?! Li was so angry that he planted back, and Gan and Xiaocui hurriedly supported him, shouting, "The old lady is angry." ”
"What the hell is this?" Lu Ning was inexplicable, he was really confused by the second monk.
"Lord, you want to ...... your son To whom to accompany you? The old lady should be angry with you, you, you still think twice......" Xiaocui was tearful, while stroking the old woman's breasts, while begging, she was extremely vague when she called "Gui'er", and did not dare to call the former mistress by her name.
Mrs. Gan's face was flushed, and there seemed to be a sense of determination in her eyes.
Lu Ning was stunned, and then he understood, too, it was so late, he came back from eating and drinking to take Mrs. Gan away, but the three mothers thought that they had come to drink, and they wanted to take Mrs. Gan to accompany the person they admired or the nobleman they wanted to stutter?
Nowadays, it is not uncommon for concubines to accompany them, let alone servants.
Coughing, Lu Ning said helplessly: "Mother, where do you want to go?" I, alas, let me make it clear, I went to Ganjia Village to deal with some chores, and by the way, I took Mrs. Gan home to see, I'm afraid you'll worry about the night road! ”
"What sent Mrs. Gan to be accompanied by others, am I such a person? Don't say that Mrs. Gan is kind to the Lu family, that is, any maid of the Lu family now, and she will never force them to accompany outsiders, if she violates this word, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”
When Li Shi heard this, his crying gradually stopped, and he asked, "Is this true?!" ”
Gan and Xiao Cui were both stunned, and Xiao Cui's eyes were even bigger and shining, the lord said such a thing, but it was really unheard of, and he felt so pity for the maids, is it true?
Lu Ning nodded vigorously: "Naturally!" ”
Suddenly, Li felt sorry for his son again, and said to himself, "Why did you swear so badly? In addition to the benefactor's housewife, other handmaidens, why can't you just give someone to accompany you? In officialdom, it seems that this is also the way to walk.
Thinking about it, her eyes turned red again, and she said straightly: "Son, did my mother hurt you?" Don't blame A-Niang! ”
Lu Ning smiled: "Mother, I'm afraid that even moths can't be killed, can you hurt me?" Okay, mother, you can rest quickly, I will be back in three or two days at most. "Gave Xiao Cui a look, "Send the old lady to rest!" ”
After such a fuss, the Li family was really tired, and he didn't have the strength to ask Lu Ning about going to Ganjia Village again, so he agreed, saying, "You, you have to treat the master mother well......"
"Got it!" Lu Ning nodded, got up slowly, watched Xiaocui help her mother leave, then turned to Gan and said, "Mrs. Gan, let's go." ”
Gan's head was lightly bowed, but he sighed softly in his heart, now he is like duckweed, where this man takes him, he will go, and he has no right to refuse.
However, to Ganjia Village?
His second brother is in prison, and his life and death are uncertain.
What is this going to Ganjia Village for? Do you want to raid your own home?
If this is the case, I don't have to say much, otherwise, it will only increase the humiliation, if the second brother dies and the family is ruined, I will go with my family.
……
Gan had just made up his mind, but he didn't want to, when he got out of the manor, he saw Gan Erlang limping over, and she was immediately stunned.
Seeing that although the second brother seemed to be a little inconvenient to walk, he was still in good spirits, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
In front of Lu Ning, Gan Erlang didn't dare to talk to his sister, but just squeezed his eyebrows at his sister.
Gan didn't know why, and didn't bother to pay attention to him. She was anxious when her second brother entered prison, but when she saw that her second brother was safe, his frivolous temperament often made Gan's stomach angry.
"Get on the horse and go!" Lu Ning shouted.
