Chapter 3: Shamelessness I
Qingshu looked at Mrs. Lin and asked, "Grandmother, can I go back to the county seat tomorrow?" ”
Old Mrs. Lin nodded and said, "If you drink the medicine obediently, I will ask your aunt to send you to the county seat tomorrow." ”
When did her grandmother become so talkative? Although he was very confused, Qingshu didn't dare to show it, for fear of arousing the old lady's suspicion again.
I took the medicine bowl and drank it in a big gulp.
The medicine was so bitter that she wanted to vomit again, and Qingshu endured the nausea and drank most of the bowl of medicine.
After drinking the medicine, I stopped vomiting.
After tossing for a day, everyone was exhausted, and Mrs. Lin couldn't stand it anymore when she was older. Seeing that Qingshu no longer had a stomachache, she was helped back to the house by Mrs. Qi.
Zhang also yawned, touched Qingshu's head and said, "Good boy, let's go to sleep quickly!" ”
Qingshu would be very excited to feel sleepy, but he still nodded obediently and responded, "Okay." ”
Lying on the bed, I thought about it for a long time, until the rooster crowed, and then I squinted.
Three poles in the sun, Qingshu woke up.
Zhang brought a bowl of porridge over, but Qingshu didn't eat it: "I'm going to the county seat to find my mother." ”
Mrs. Lin said, "I'll go after you're healed." ”
The old lady will backtrack, and Qingshu is not surprised. Thinking of the old lady's compromise, she turned her mind, deliberately knocked down the food in Zhang's hand in anger, and shouted: "I want a mother." ”
Mrs. Lin can't tolerate her children and grandchildren disobeying her, and whoever dares to disobey will either be beaten or scolded. She was beaten and scolded many times in her previous life, and sometimes she was imprisoned in a firewood room and starved for a day. But now, Qingshu is not afraid. What about the beating and scolding, she is now desperate to see her mother.
Old Mrs. Lin said with a calm face: "Look at what you are spoiled into?" Qiao Niang, let's go out, let her. ”
Looking at Mrs. Lin's back, Qingshu's eyes flashed, and what she did just now was slapped according to her grandmother's temperament. But now not only did he not fight, but he didn't even scold, which is very strange.
I don't eat, and I don't even drink medicine and water. By noon, her face was so white that people were scared to see it.
Mrs. Lin was also afraid that something would happen to Hongdou, so she had to ask the Zhang family to send her to the county seat. Otherwise, Qing Shu was really hungry, and the old woman of the Gu family was afraid that she would tear her apart.
Seeing that Mrs. Lin compromised, she was puzzled. The old lady is worried about her mother, but the people of the Lin family are not saying that her grandfather's family is broken, and her mother married Lin Chengyu only after her mother's life.
With this doubt, Qingshu was carried out of the house by Zhang.
Linjia Village has beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is only more than 20 miles away from the county seat. It takes more than two quarters of an hour to get to the county seat by horse-drawn carriage, but it only takes more than a quarter of an hour by boat.
Qingshu sat on the boat and looked at the lush mulberry fields on both sides of the river that stretched to the foot of the mountain, and his mood improved. A child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is a grass. Anyway, my mother is still alive, which is stronger than anything else.
Zhang looked at Qingshu's smile and asked cautiously, "Red Bean, shall we eat something?" "I don't know who this kid is like, with such a big temper, even the old lady dares to contradict it.
Qingshu was hungry early after not eating for a long time, but he endured it before. Now that she has got what she wants, she naturally no longer starves herself.
Zhang smiled, and took out a bowl of minced tofu and a plate of fried shredded potatoes from the food box.
Not only did Qingshu not make a sound when eating, but her posture was also very elegant.
Zhang couldn't help but say: "Red Bean, you look so good when you eat, can you teach Rudie and Le Wei next time?" "Zhang's four years in the door gave birth to a son and a daughter, a daughter like a butterfly son Lin Lewei. The two children not only gobbled up their meals, but also made chirping sounds.
Qingshu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." She was taken to the capital at the age of fourteen, and her stepmother, Cui, invited her to teach her for a year. After marrying into the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, the Hou Mansion has many rules, and the behavior has changed subtly over time.
However, Zhang's words also sounded the alarm for Qingshu. Before, I just looked in the mirror and touched my face, and the old lady suspected that she was possessed by demons, and I don't know how the old lady was going to toss her if she wanted to do anything out of the ordinary.
Just thinking about it, my stomach turned over again. Qingshu couldn't hold back, and vomited everything he ate again.
Zhang's anxious: "Uncle Jin, Uncle Jin, hurry up, the red beans vomited again." ”
Uncle Jin, who was rowing, sped up his speed, and it didn't take long to reach the county seat.
Uncle Jin raised his voice and said, "Chengzhi daughter-in-law, approach the dock immediately, and you are ready to get off the boat." ”
There are many rivers in Taifeng County, and it is more convenient to take the waterway than the land route. Therefore, the materials are basically transported to the county by ship, such as the three ships docked at the wharf now loaded with melons, fruits and vegetables.
On the wharf, there is the shouting of porters and coachmen, the shouting of hawkers, and the laughter of children.
This scene makes red beans familiar and unfamiliar. In her previous life, she and the old lady had been to the county three times, and she could see such a scene every time. But when I went to the capital, these became memories.
Zhang took Qingshu into a carriage and said to the coachman, "Go to Sanyuan Street." ”
This place was not called this name before, but it was later renamed Sanyuan Street by Xu Wenchang, a talented man who lived here. Speaking of which, Hongdou and Xu Wenchang are still related by blood, and Hongdou's great-grandmother is Xu Wenchang's granddaughter.
The relationship is actually very far away, but Mrs. Lin is proud of it and often talks about it.
After getting out of the carriage and turning a corner, the two came to a red brick and blue tile house.
Qingshu is no stranger to this house, her second uncle Lin Chengzhong's family lived here in her last life. She followed the old lady to the county three times, and twice she went to Lin Chengzhong's house.
knocked on the door, and soon someone inside raised his voice and asked, "Who?" ”
"Mother Chen, it's me."
Mother Chen, who was wearing brown muslin clothes and a silver hairpin in her hair, opened the door and said with a smile: "Third mother......"
Before she finished speaking, seeing that her face was as white as a piece of paper, the smile on Chen's mother's face froze: "Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?" ”
Zhang explained: "The red beans have been burned for two days, and I will send them back as soon as I have just some today." ”
Chen's mother shouted outside: "Jianmu, the girl is not feeling well, go and invite Dr. He." ”
A little boy of seven or eight years old answered and ran out of the alley.
Chen's mother took Qingshu from Zhang's hand and walked in quickly.
As soon as you enter the yard, you will see the grape trellis and the swing on it. Under the grape trellises, there is a small round table made of camphor wood and two rattan chairs. On the round table, there is a blue and white entwined lotus teacup, which looks particularly elegant.
In her previous life, this yard was full of vegetables planted by her second aunt, and compared with now, it is one day and one place.
Qingshu couldn't help but wonder, if her mother was really ruined, she should live as carefully as her second aunt, how could this yard be so fresh and elegant.
After entering the house, Qingshu's suspicions were confirmed. And I saw that the whole furnishings of this house were made of sorrel wood; The porcelain and jade objects displayed on the Duobaoge are very exquisite; On the dressing table is a mahogany jewelry box, and next to the box are two pieces of jewelry, a phoenix hairpin with gem-encrusted beads and a soft bracelet with gold inlaid beads.
Qingshu's face changed and changed. In her previous life, her cousin Rutong ridiculed that her grandfather's family was a broken family, and the people of the Lin family didn't say anything, and later she believed it when she saw her uncle's family dressed shabby. But the furnishings of the room and the jewelry on the dresser let her know that she had been deceived. Her grandfather's family is not only not broken, but very rich.
