"If it is inconvenient for Concubine Yun to go to the east of the city, tomorrow when Xiao Wu and Lianxiang change shifts, please ask Concubine Yun to be kind and allow Xiao Wu to visit her mother."

Qin Ruoyun looked at Xiao Wu's expression, it seemed that Xiao Wu had made up her mind to meet her mother.

"Okay." Qin Ruoyun saw that Xiao Wu insisted on insisting, so it was difficult to shirk again: "After breakfast later, we will go to the east of the city." ”

Qin Ruoyun finished eating unhurriedly, then took Xiao Wu out, hired a carriage, and walked in the direction of the east of the city.

When she got into the carriage, Qin Ruoyun hurriedly said an address to the groom, Xiao Wu was clever, and after Qin Ruoyun said it, she wrote it down silently.

The carriage swayed along the way, Qin Ruoyun sat in the carriage, chatting with Xiao Wu with a ride, so that Xiao Wu couldn't open the sedan curtain to look at the road and remember the scenery along the way outside.

After about half an hour of bumpy carriages, the two came to the east of the city. got out of the carriage, and under the leadership of Qin Ruoyun, the two walked towards Qin Ruoyun's house one after the other.

This house, after Song Yuchen gave it to Qin Ruoyun, Qin Ruoyun once came to see it in person, the scenery is pleasant, and it is very quiet, it is a good place to recuperate.

After passing by a few willow trees and climbing a few flights of steps, the house appeared in front of me. In front of the main entrance of the house, there are two guards guarding the house.

Qin Ruoyun and Xiao Wu didn't enter through the main entrance, they were in front of the window of the house one after the other, and gently opened the window a crack. In front of the window, there were also two maidservants with their backs to them, guarding in front of the bed of Xiao Wuniang.

In the house, the woman lying on the bed was Xiao Wu's mother, and there were several slaves and maids standing beside her. It's already late now, and Xiao Wu's mother is still asleep.

"Ahem...... "Ahem" At this time, Xiao Wu's mother coughed a few times: "Little Wu, Xiao Wu......"

"Mother!" As soon as Xiao Wu spoke, Qin Ruoyun grabbed her: "Your mother is still asleep, do you want to wake her up?" With that, Qin Ruoyun looked into the house again.

Qin Ruoyun simply grabbed Xiao Wu in time just now, and the two maidservants in front of the window didn't find any clues.

Xiao Wu also looked over, and saw that the two maids saw that Xiao Wu's mother was coughing, so they took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her. After Xiao Wu's mother coughed, she fell asleep again.

"Look, I didn't lie to you." Qin Ruoyun glanced at Xiao Wu: "Your mother's food and clothing, I made the best one." ”

"Ahem!" Qin Ruoyun coughed twice: "Okay, you also see that your mother is safe and sound." I'm tired too, let's go back first. ”

"But......" Xiao Wu still wanted to say something, but when he saw Qin Ruoyun's face, he didn't dare to continue.

"But what? There are so many people, are you still worried that they won't be able to take care of your mother? Qin Ruoyun glanced at Xiao Wu: "As long as you promise to do things well for me, your mother will naturally receive the best care." ”

Qin Ruoyun said, turned around and turned back towards the place where he came: "Hurry up." ”

It seems that Qin Ruoyun is hard-hearted and doesn't let Xiao Wu come into contact with her mother.

Xiao Wu thought about it, but he couldn't touch a stone with an egg, so he followed Qin Ruoyun and reluctantly left from the house in the east of the city.

But...... Xiao Wu looked back at his mother who was sleeping. Although these meticulous services seemed seamless, she knew that her mother had always been diligent, and rarely did not get up when she was in her prime.

Xiao Wu suspected that Qin Ruoyun's subordinates had given her mother a tranquilizer. Because Xiao Wu couldn't find out, Qin Ruoyun insisted on not letting Xiao Wu get close to her mother just now.

Qin Ruoyun was indeed afraid that Xiao Wu would see flaws in her mother, after all, Xiao Wu was too smart. But today, she is still very satisfied with the matter of Xiao Wu's mother.

These maidservants and guards take care of Xiao Wu's mother so well, and they don't have to worry that Xiao Wu's mother will run away or Xiao Wu betrays her.

The two made the carriage and turned back, and Xiao Wu sat in the carriage, not saying a word, looking unhappy.

"What's wrong? Seeing your mother, still not at ease? Qin Ruoyun asked curiously when she saw Xiao Wu like this.

"It's not." Xiao Wu glanced at Qin Ruoyun twice, and said with a dodgy look: "The slave just remembered that just now, my mother called my name in her sleep, and she was a little sad. ”

"I know that since the moment I sold myself into the palace, I have been a slave of the palace for the rest of my life. But I have been dependent on my mother since I was a child, and I feel sad when I see her sick for a long time. ”

"Alright." Qin Ruoyun comforted Xiao Wu and said: "You also saw it just now, now your mother lives in such a spacious house, and there are so many maids and guards who serve her and protect her, isn't it much better than when she was in the poor countryside?" ”

"You brought it to her, so you don't have to feel guilty. As long as you are by my side for a day, I will treat her well for a day. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Wu nodded when he heard Qin Ruoyun's words.

After walking for a while, when passing by the snack street, Qin Ruoyun lifted the sedan curtain and looked out the window: "Xiao Wu, look, there are peach blossom cakes and pine nut candy sellers outside, do you want to eat them?" ”

"If Concubine Yun wants to eat, Xiao Wu will buy it."

"Okay." Qin Ruoyun nodded, reached out and handed her a few copper plates.

Xiao Wu got out of the carriage, and when he walked towards the stall, he looked back in the direction of the carriage and hurriedly walked towards the stall selling snacks.

After buying some peach blossom crisp and pine nut candy, Xiao Wu quickly got into the carriage and handed the peach blossom cake and pine nut candy to Qin Ruoyun: "Concubine Yun." ”

"Hmm." Qin Ruoyun stretched out her hand to take the peach blossom cake and pine nut candy, and handed a peach blossom cake and a whole packet of pine nut candy to Xiao Wu: "Here you go." ”

"Give it to me?" Xiao Wu was a little stunned.

"Hmm." Qin Ruoyun stretched out her hand: "Here you go." ”

"Concubine Xie Yun." Xiao Wu thanked him, and then took the peach blossom cake and pine nut candy, seeing Qin Ruoyun's eyes looking at him without blinking, Xiao Wu opened the peach blossom cake with some suspicion and took a bite gently.

The peach blossom crisp is soft and crispy, and when you bite it gently, there is a clicking sound.

Qin Ruoyun looked at Xiao Wu and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?" ”

Xiao Wu listened and nodded again.

It seems that such a thing, such a means, is useful for Lianxiang, but not necessarily for Xiao Wu.

Qin Ruoyun smiled, and then said gently, "Eat." She thought that fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls liked these.

Except for herself.

"You don't seem to like eating these?" Qin Ruoyun saw that Xiao Wu had eaten two bites, so she didn't move the peach blossom cake much, and continued to ask, "It's not to taste?" ”

Xiao Wu smiled awkwardly, and continued: "Concubine Hui Yun, when I was a child, slaves and maids were very yearning for these. ”

"It's just that my father used to say that eating too many sweets makes his teeth decaying, and he always doesn't let his slaves eat them. So, since my father died, the slaves and maids hadn't eaten these for many years. ”
