Fifty-eight, call for help
After Rui'er took the things back, Zhuo Xi asked her to sit down and apply the medicine to her, this white medicine has the effect of stopping bleeding and reducing swelling, but when it is just applied, it will stimulate the wound, and the pain will be more obvious.
Zhuo Xi gently applied the medicine to Rui'er, and said softly: "Bear with it, it will hurt a little at first, and it will be fine in a while." ”
Rui'er nodded, looking at Zhuo Xi's serious application for herself, a warmth surged from her heart, no one has treated her so kindly except for her mother since she was a child, and she is still a girl of the same age as herself but with a higher status than herself! Suddenly I felt my nose sore, and tears were left unconsciously.
Seeing Rui'er crying, Zhuo Xi hurriedly stopped what he was doing and asked, "Is it painful?" Then let's slow down and then apply it. ”
Rui'er shook her head with a sob, and said, "No, girl, it doesn't hurt..."
"Then why are you crying?" Zhuo Xi looked at her with some puzzlement, thought about it and said, "It's okay, just shout out if it hurts, and it will be better if you shout it." ”
Rui'er cried even harder, she shook her head vigorously, trying to speak, but a sour feeling filled her mouth, so that she couldn't open her mouth.
Zhuo Xi sighed and said, "I know that you must have suffered a lot, and the pain in your heart must be worse than the pain in your body, but I also believe that you are a strong woman, otherwise you would not be able to persevere today." ”
But any woman who comes to the Condensation Hall, which one has not walked through the ghost gate once, can stay through the screening again and again, even if she becomes the lowest maid and maid, in addition to her own conditions, it is supported by a little expectation in her heart.
"Okay, I'll pour you a cup of tea, you press the gods first."
When Zhuo Xi was about to get up, she was grabbed by Rui'er, "Girl," Rui'er looked at her with red eyes and tears, "Girl, I really don't hurt, I'm... Touched" Ruiel thought about it for a moment before finding the right words to describe her feelings, "Thank you... You, since you came here, no one has spoken to me well, you are the only one who treats me well, thank you, girl! After saying this, Rui'er couldn't stop crying again.
Zhuo Xi sat down next to Rui'er again and said to her: "Rui'er, I used to be like you, thinking that there are bad people in this world, but slowly I found that no matter where you are, you can always find good people. That is, no matter where you are, there are good people and bad people, and when you want to be a good person, you can meet good people; When you think you're going to do something bad, you're running into bad people! So, as long as we firmly believe that we are a good person, we can always meet good people! ”
Rui'er nodded as if she didn't understand, looked at Zhuo Xi with admiration and said, "Girl, you know so much!" ”
Zhuo Xi smiled and said to her, "As long as you want, you can too!" ”
"Really?" Rui'er's eyes immediately brightened, but in an instant, they dimmed again. "Impossible, I've been looked down upon since I was a child, and even my dad doesn't like me and says I'm useless......"
Rui'er fell into the memories and muttered about her life experience: "I am the second in the family, and I have an older sister who just got married last year; There are three younger sisters and a younger brother below, and my mother some time ago... I'm pregnant again, and my dad wants to have another brother, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to support him, so he's... Sold me. My father still thinks that the money from the sale is small, and he keeps scolding me for losing money..."Before he finished speaking, two lines of clear tears fell again.
"Rui'er, you remember, what others say about you is not the real you, because others don't know you, what you should do is to seize all the opportunities to work hard and strive to become what you want to be!" Zhuo Xi gently stroked Rui'er's hair and said to her in a firm tone.
may have been infected by Zhuo Xi, Rui'er wiped her tears, looked at Zhuo Xi fixedly and said, "I know, I will never pay attention to what others say about me or scold me in the future, girl, thank you for your teachings, I will definitely repay you in the future!" ”
Zhuo Xi smiled and said: "What to repay, as long as you can live happily in the future, don't be so polite!" ”
Suddenly, Rui'er remembered the scene just now, and quickly lowered her voice and told Zhuo Xi everything she heard outside Wantang's house, and finally Rui'er also told Zhuo Xi that Wantang didn't invite Liu Yuzhen over at all today, but just asked for the tea she made.
"I've already guessed" Zhuo Xi nodded and said, while putting the hand stove under Rui'er's legs, and instructed her: "Let your legs be warmed up a little to help you recover, and you can also avoid falling ill in the future." ”
Rui'er thanked her gratefully, and said, "They just deliberately make things difficult for you, girl, what are you going to do tomorrow?" Rui'er began to worry about Zhuo Xi.
Zhuo Xi looked at her and smiled calmly, and said: "When you encounter something, it's useless to just be afraid and avoid, the only thing you can do is to face it directly and find a way to solve it!" ”
Rui'er still looked at Zhuo Xi with some doubts, and nodded as if she didn't understand.
Early the next morning, Ping'er and Pan'er came to Mowenju, where Mr. Hong'an lived. They had been here once last night, but Uncle Tong said that Mr. Hongan had fallen asleep, so he sent them back. The two maids stayed in Zhuo Xi's room all night, and ran out when they heard a little wind and grass to see if the girl had come back. stayed up until the second half of the night, and the two of them couldn't hold it anymore so they both fell asleep on the table, but when they woke up, the red sun was already high.
Tong Bo saw the two maids rushing over, hurriedly put down the water ladle in his hand, straightened up and said to them: "I said girls, don't be so panicked, be careful of falling!" As soon as the words fell, Ping'er fell on her heel with an "oops".
Pan'er hurriedly picked up Ping'er and shouted at Tongbo: "Tongbo, your mouth is really poisonous!" Can't you just say something good? ”
Uncle Tong smiled and said, "I was packing up these jars and jars to plant flowers, and you broke in... Okay, let's not talk about that, let's say something nice, you girls have a letter! ”
When Ping'er heard this, she couldn't care about the pain in her feet, and hurriedly asked, "Really?" Great, when will the girl come back? ”
Pan'er also asked eagerly, "Do you need us to go to the Moon Pavilion to pick her up?" ”
Tong Bo was a little speechless for a while, and he really didn't know how to speak in the face of the two maids who were eager for the protector.
Seeing that Uncle Tong's expression didn't seem to be right, the two maids glanced at each other, Ping'er limped forward and asked, "Uncle Tong, what's going on?" Didn't you say it was a good thing? ”
Tong Bo said with some difficulty: "It's a good thing... It's not a particularly good thing... Just now, someone came to the Moon Pavilion, saying that Miss Wantang wanted to ask Miss Zhuo Xi to help her teach a few girls who practiced dance, and she was temporarily staying there these days, and said that Miss Zhuo Xi was responsible for all the expenses of the Moon Pavilion... Mr. Hongan has agreed. So, you guys... Let's go back! ”
"What?" The two maids' eyes widened at the same time, "How can Mr. Hongan agree?" Our girl didn't want to stay in the Moon Pavilion at all, and last night we heard the girl shouting to see Mr. Hongan! Pan'er shouted, her angry little face flushed.
"Uncle Tong, Miss Zhuo Xi is under house arrest, we want to see Mr. Hong'an, explain the reason to Mr. Hong'an, you let us in!" Ping'er limped over to Tongbo and begged.
"Alas, children, Mr. Hong'an went out just now, you listen to me, let the girls solve their own affairs, we just need to do our part. Okay, let's go back, just go back and guard the listening hall. Uncle Tong shook his head, and he also looked helpless.
The two maids stood in place in a daze, and even Mr. Hongan didn't care, who else could help the girl? Lanyang-sama? But Lord Lanyang went out yesterday, and it will take three or four days to come back. What now? It's not a problem to spend so much, so let's go back and figure out a way. After a while, Pan'er helped Ping'er stumble back.
Looking at the melancholy backs of the two maids, Uncle Tong couldn't help sighing, alas, it's not that the master doesn't want to care...
In the wing room on the west side of Mo Wenju, Mr. Hongan and Wuyi Guzu were sitting facing each other and drinking tea.
"Ancestor, you don't let me meddle in Zhuo Xi's affairs, but what if Wantang does something out of the ordinary?" Mr. Hongan took a sip of tea and asked a little puzzled.
"This Wan Tang is indeed a little reckless, and she has no sense of proportion, she should learn some lessons, and Zhuo Xi is still young, and she still needs more experience. Let them solve the matter by themselves this time, and it will be a test for them! All you need to do is send someone to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get into trouble. Wu Yi Guzu was still so calm and unhurried, and said indifferently.
"Alas, it's also blamed that I didn't *** Wantang, look at what she has become now?" Mr. Hongan patted his knees with both hands and said regretfully.
"This can't be blamed on you, when Changkong Sima helped you escape from Qi State, you thanked him for his kindness and wanted to rescue his children, but in the end, there was only Wan Tang left. For her, you are willing to be controlled by others and care for her, but you protect her too much, so that you are acting so recklessly now! Wu Yi Guzu's discerning eyes stared at Mr. Hong'an and solved his doubts.
Mr. Hongan let out a long sigh and put a trace of remorse into his memory, "I also blame me for being rash back then, and I had to teach the fifth prince to play that folk tune at the state banquet, but I was grabbed by someone and affected the fifth son, Sima Changkong and Guzu." ”
"The past is gone, so don't mention it again. In fact, there were many crises back then, even if there was no such thing as that minor tune, some people would use other things to slander the fifth son. I am friends with the nurse of the fifth son, and she did not hesitate to take her life in order to protect the fifth son, I just did what I could, what is worth mentioning?! "Aunt Wuyi looked into the distance through the window, recalling the past, there will inevitably be a trace of sadness, sadness is sadness, just continue to be strong after sadness!
"I feel guilty about Changkong Sima, so I want to make up for it on his child, but I don't want to hurt Wan Tang..."Mr. Hongan shook his head weakly.
"Wan Tang has grown up, it's time to let go, she must learn to bear the consequences for her actions, otherwise it will harm her life, that is really ashamed of Changkong Sima!" Wu Yi Guzu said with a firm look in his eyes, "And Lan Yang, he is a man, you must not restrain him anymore!" There are some things that he needs to do on his own, and adventures are inevitable, otherwise how will he return to his position in the future? ”
Mr. Hongan nodded in agreement.
