Chapter 186: The Secret Scroll
The small main house under the corridor of the Mozhu courtyard was originally the house where the little girls lived.
Xiangling is a big girl in the Xue family, so naturally she can't be downgraded after coming over.
However, the Mozhu Courtyard was originally a study renovation, and the wing room was not so big.
Jia Cong had Xiaohong, Chunyan and Qingwen next to him before, although she could sleep if she squeezed it, but Xiangling still chose a room here, adjacent to Juan'er Mi'er's house, and left and right in a courtyard.
At this time, Zhen Fengshi and Xiangling were sitting on Xiangling's bed, and the mother and daughter held hands, just crying.
Zhen Feng's biggest hope for surviving all these years is to find his daughter one day.
Now that I have finally found it, where can outsiders imagine the taste in my heart?
And Xiangling has been bumpy and displaced over the years, has been beaten and scolded by all kinds of lessons, sold back and forth, and has had the same difficult time.
Tens of thousands of times fantasized that there could be a mother who loved her, but now that Zhen Feng's family has fallen from the sky, how can she not cry when she recalls the suffering she suffered at the beginning......
Although her memory has long been blurred, the word "mother" made her and Zhen Feng's hands hold on to each other, and they will never be separated.
On the side, Xiaohong and Chunyan are not good, and their mothers are all in front of them.
Although I cried at this time, I couldn't understand the pain.
Ping'er is serious, although she is sad in her heart, she is still persuading others......
Only Qingwen was crying, and she couldn't help herself.
Ping'er persuaded this head to persuade that head, and his forehead was sweaty.
Others can't understand why Qingwen is like this, but Jia Cong, who can come in with Baochai, understands why she is like this.
In her previous life, she read the Red Mansion, and the most miserable girl was Qingwen.
After being dragged out of the Grand View Garden from the sickbed, he lay alone on the hay kang coldly before he died, and called his mother all night with his neck stalked......
Jia Cong stepped forward and saw Qingwen lying on a small table, crying breathlessly, stroked her hair, and said softly: "Okay, don't cry, I already asked your cousin when I was free before." Your family was originally in Southern Province, but because your hometown has been hit by floods and droughts for many years, there has been no harvest for many years, so you have to flee with your family.
On the road, there was a sudden flood, and the family scattered in a panic.
Although your cousin is not stingy, he still remembers to protect you all the way to the capital.
Although your parents no longer know where they are, as long as you remember your name and household name, it will not be too long before you find them.
When I become an official in the future, I will take this matter to heart, and I will inquire in one place when I go to one place, and I can also ask my husband and all my senior brothers to inquire in various provinces.
It's useless to cry, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can find it for you sooner or later.
Don't cry anymore. ”
Hearing this, Qingwen slowly raised her head, looked at Jia Cong with red and swollen eyes, and asked with a pouted, "Really...... Can you really find it? But it was a very dangerous day......"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Although it was dangerous that day, you and your cousin were able to escape, and there is no reason why your father and mother can't escape."
Instead of worrying about the small possibility of being bad, it is better to look forward to a great possibility.
Do you want to live a sad life, or live happily? ”
Qingwen didn't answer when she heard this, but looked at Jia Cong with rain......
Jia Cong smiled at her, leaving room for her to think for herself, and after smiling at Ping'er, she said to Zhen Feng's family: "Mrs. Zhen doesn't have to be too sad, although Mrs. Zhen and Xiangling have suffered from separation, but now they are bitter and sweet, and it is not good to worry too much, and it is not beautiful to hurt the body."
Xiangling has an excellent temperament, and everyone loves her in the house, and she never treats her as a servant.
Now that I meet my wife, my family wishes to come true. The beauty of people, return Xiangling's deed, return her innocence, and ...... in the future"
"Don't!"
Before Jia Cong finished speaking, he saw Xiangling stand up with a "pout", and said hurriedly: "I won't leave this place." ”
She couldn't speak, so she looked at Ping'er and said, "Sister Ping'er......"
Ping'er knew that Xiangling's family was not a good person before, and looked at Jia Cong strangely and said, "Although it is kind, but Xiangling is here with us, isn't it better than ordinary young women?" Moreover, she is ...... If you go out, you may not be able to fall well. ”
Jia Cong smiled: "Don't I know this truth? Feng Su will go back in the next two days, he behaved disorderly, greedy for money, and really gave Xiangling to him to raise, most of which was sold by him......"
The audience said that Feng Su was not, and Zhen Feng's face was full of shame.
Jia Cong persuaded: "Mrs. Zhen doesn't have to be careful, we don't treat Mrs. and Xiangling as outsiders, so we don't shy away from it." For ten taels of silver, he forced Mrs. to remarry a lame widower, which is really disrespectful.
My family has a fate with Xiangling, a master and servant, and I hope she has a good result.
If Madame is willing, I can find a house in the capital to rent on my behalf, and Madame and Xiangling can live in it.
And find some light means for the two of you, so that you can support yourselves.
In the future, when I go south, I can also find Xiangling's father on your behalf, and if you can find it, you can find it, but if you can't find it, you two can live without worrying about food and clothing, and you will no longer be persecuted. ”
Baochai smiled on the side: "Xiangling was originally my girl, and all the expenses should be used by my family." ”
Jia Cong looked back at her and said, "Now my family is not short of these, Sister Ping'er has silver." ”
This sudden outburst of remarks made everyone laugh.
Ping'er was even more disgusted, but she heard Xiangling crying: "Since I can remember, I have been sold by abductors, beaten if I am disobedient, and beaten when I am obedient, and now I have finally settled down, the third master treats me well, Sister Ping'er treats me well, Qingwen, Xiaohong, and Chunyan treat me well, I only think this is home."
Regardless of whether she is rich or poor, Xiangling just wants to live at home, and she doesn't want to be sold and sent back and forth......
Even if I go to beg one day, I can go with my sisters to ask for food for the third master, and I am happy to be hungry.
I beg the third master not to let me go again, woo woo ......"
As she spoke, Xiangling cried and knelt down and kowtowed.
Ping'er and the others wiped their tears, and Xue Baochai was ashamed......
Jia Cong said: "Okay, didn't I say the second method yet?" You get up first......"
Xiangling shook her head, looked at Jia Cong with teary eyes, and said, "The third master will speak first." ”
Jia Cong couldn't do it, and said angrily: "There is another strategy, which is specially prepared for fools like you." If you don't want to go, stay here like you used to. Your mother doesn't have to look for something to do outside, help the house do some needlework. You don't have to spend money to eat, drink, and chew left and right, and you can still save money. ”
When Xiangling heard this, she nodded again and again, and said excitedly: "Okay, good!" The third master's method is good! As he spoke, he gave two thumbs up......
Seeing her so delicate, Ping'er Xiaohong and others all laughed.
Zhen Feng's family also has a preliminary understanding of her daughter's temperament, and she naturally didn't want her daughter to remain a lowly person.
Although the Zhen family is not an official eunuch, it is also a Gusu Wang family.
Zhen Feng and Zhen Shiyin are only one daughter, how can they bear to let her become a lowly and slave to others?
But there was really no money to put on her body, and he couldn't redeem her.
Second, even if Jia Cong has good intentions, after hearing Xiangling's thoughts, her heart of strength has faded, and she only owes a strong debt.
Since the Jia family treats Xiangling very well, why should she not force her daughter, who has been separated for more than ten years, to leave sadly again?
Thinking of this, Zhen Fengshi knelt on the ground and said gratefully: "The women are grateful to the benefactor for taking in the little girl, and it has become a great grace for the whole people's women and mothers and daughters to get together. I only hope that the benefactor can take in the women, let the women be the first and third class mothers-in-law in the house, and do what they can to show their hearts. ”
Jia Cong hurriedly said: "Madame, please get up quickly, the Zhen family is also a Gusu Wang clan, how dare my family be so big......"
Zhen Feng's family said sadly: "There is no need to mention the past, it is the greatest wish to be able to never be separated from Yinglian for the rest of my life." She calls this home, and where she is, it's my home.
He also begged the benefactor to be kind and accepted the women to do some sewing and mending work. ”
Jia Cong persuaded: "Even if the lady stays in the house, she doesn't have to be a slave." ”
Zhen Feng shook his head and said: "The house is a high gate, although the benefactor is compassionate, the women dare not break the rules of the house." I have never heard of outsiders being able to enter your family to do things, and those who can still keep good records.
The women of the people have received great favors, how dare they cause the house to be criticized because of themselves?
As for the good and untouchables...... The women don't care about these anymore, as long as Yinglian has a good life. ”
"Mother......
Xiangling's touched heart is about to melt, and since I can remember, I feel the taste of mother's love for the first time in my life.
Hearing her call, Zhen Fengshi was also moved to nod again and again, holding her hand and not letting go.
Ping'er and the others were moved to tears on the side, and Ping'er said to Jia Cong: "Cong'er, let's fulfill them." If they find it inconvenient one day, they will let it out again. ”
Jia Cong nodded when he heard this, and said, "What my sister said makes sense, this matter is too much for my sister to worry about." ”
Ping'er smiled: "I should have done it, but what is it worth?" ”
Jia Cong said again: "Today is a big day, but unfortunately I will end the day after tomorrow, time is running out, Sister Lao took out some silver and became a host."
First, it can be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for his wife, and secondly, he also celebrates that Xiangling has found her mother, and she is willing to come. ”
Ping'er was about to agree, but Baochai suddenly smiled on the side: "It just so happened that my brother just collected three cages of crabs from the outside, all of them are very big." How did my mom and I finish eating? I sent a cage to the old lady early this morning, and there are two large cages, so it is better to take a cage and everyone try it together. Xiangling also did my girl, but my brother was too different and not worth entrusting, so he was sent to Brother Cong, and sure enough, his life got better and better.
However, in the end, Xiangling was wronged, and today's host will be regarded as a compensation for my family. ”
Xiangling hurriedly said: "Girl...... The girl and the wife treated me very well, where can I afford to be a girl! ”
Jia Cong smiled: "Get up and talk." ”
Ping'er hurriedly helped Zhen Feng's family up, while Baochai pulled Xiangling up and said with a smile: "Don't think about it too much, just find a reason to invite you to a host." As you know, there are few people in my family, and I don't have any good food to eat. There are a lot of you, and it's lively, so I'm going to come here and make a mess. ”
When Xiangling heard this, she was relieved, but she still hesitated: "This has to listen to Sister Ping'er's ......."
Ping'er hurriedly said on the side: "Don't say it, it's really a stupid girl, the girl's host, I can't look forward to it!" ”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Okay, you can arrange it yourself, I won't disturb your good situation, go back to study first." ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly got up to send each other.
……
Gulou West Street, Fuxian Restaurant.
In the window-facing private room on the second floor, a white fat boy sits at the wine table, enjoying wine and food, looking at the lively scenery outside the window.
This person is the nephew of Song Yan's wife Wu, Wu Fan.
Although he was smart and flexible, he was not good at studying, and after Song Yan and others left Beijing and returned to their hometowns, they repeatedly warned him not to cause trouble outside.
Wu Fan stayed at home for several months, and finally couldn't help it anymore and ran out to breathe......
Looking at the popularity of people coming and going, he finally felt alive again.
Just as he was eating and drinking, suddenly, he saw a man with a thief's eyebrows pushing the door in.
Wu Fanzhi frowned when he saw it, and was about to ask who it was, when he heard this man take out a thin booklet from his arms and asked mysteriously, "Childe, do you want a secret volume?" This is obtained from the president Zhao Minzheng's family, including you! ”
When Wu Fan heard this, he was stunned......
……
PS: When I read the Red Mansion again, I was really sad when I read about Qingwen's death. Why didn't I find out that she was so miserable before......
