Chapter 34: Labor Life
"Let the manager smile when he sees it." Mama Qing bowed her head and blessed her body slightly.
"Mama Qing is polite!" Qian Qi hurriedly returned the salute, and only after standing up straight did he speak to explain his intentions, "That's the case, today Teng Niang's mother-in-law sent a message, saying that her youngest son has a fever for several days and wants her to go back." Mama Qing, can you see if you can arrange it? ”
According to the rules, the nurse sold herself into the house, and her children could not be taken care of. However, a child like Teng Niang is reliable and down-to-earth, and the general owner is also a good person who allows mother and son to meet.
"Steward Qian is polite, the slave maid will report to Mrs., Teng Niang is a person who knows the severity, and Mrs. will be considerate."
"Then thank you Mama Qing."
Although Mama Qing knew that Madam would agree, she still got permission after reporting it, so she went to find Teng Niang.
"What? Four taels he ...... "As soon as Teng Niang heard that her youngest son had been burning for several days, she was a little panicked. But as soon as the words came out, she knew that she had lost her words, and hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake, "Mama, slave maid......"
Mama Qing helped her up, and said to Yan: "It is natural for mother and son to have a heart, and you don't have to blame yourself." Since the lord allowed you to marry and have children, Mrs. will naturally not treat your family harshly. I have already reported to Madame, and Madame is kind enough to allow you to bring your little son with you for a while. Wait for the lady to give birth before sending it back. ”
When Teng Niang heard this, she knelt down again, and kept kowtowing to Mama Qing with tears: "Thank you, Madame, thank you, Madam Qing, ......"
"That's it!" Mama Qing saw that her forehead was red, and she was a little unbearable, "Get up, serve the new master well in the future, even if it is to repay Madame." ”
"Yes! Slaves obey! Teng Niang kowtowed three more times before standing up, and couldn't help but stumble two steps under excitement, and was supported by Mama Qing.
"Let Mama Qing see it...... smiled," Teng Niang was a little surprised.
"Alright, let's pack our things and go." Qing Mama withdrew her hand lightly and left.
Teng Niang looked at Mama Qing's back, silently grateful, wiped her tears and turned around to pack her clothes. When she walked to the side door and saw the carriage specially prepared for her, her tears welled up in her eyes.
"Fuji Niang, let's go. Mama Qing knows that your home is far away, so she specially asked me to send you. "The coachman's name is Qianshun, and he has been in Qianfu for more than 30 years, and he was there when Teng Niang was born.
"Uncle Shun, I'm sorry for you!" Fuji Niang nodded gratefully, thanked him and got into the car.
"Since Miss Beat was born, you haven't seen four taels, have you?" Qian Shun saw the child once, it was when he was born, and he helped Teng Niang bring some silver back to his hometown by the way.
"Yes......" Teng Niang was a little sour, but for a person like her, it was already a great kindness of the main family to be allowed to marry and have children.
Speaking of young lady, she is even more uncomfortable. She was worried about her son, but if she said something rebellious, she also felt distressed in her heart as if she were a daughter. But more than a month has passed, and there is still no news.
"I heard that Madame allowed you to bring the child back?"
Teng Niang was in a trance, and was brought back to her senses by Uncle Shun's words, and she hurriedly returned: "Yes, Madame's great grace, let me take Si Liang back to the capital to live for a while." Send it back when it's almost produced. ”
"A few children are pitiful, the eldest one is six years old, right?"
"After the New Year, I was already seven years old. You also know that Dabao is stupid, if it weren't for the high salary in the house, Dabao's life would not be easy. ”
Uncle Shun nodded, Teng Niang's eldest son was breathless when he was born, and his brain was suffocated, which was a burden to such a countryman. If it weren't for the fact that Teng Niang had a little bit of the origin of Qianfu and changed to someone else's house, she might have lost it when she was a child.
Teng Niang smiled and said with some relief: "Thanks to Erya is a sensible person, I heard the message from the people in the village that I am only four years old, and I will help Dabao get dressed." I want to save more money in the past few years, and say goodbye to Dabao in a few years, and find an honest and reliable person who will take care of people. Dabao has someone to take care of, and Erya will be able to marry in the future. "Otherwise, my mother's family has a stupid big brother to take care of, and my mother-in-law's family is not easy to find.
"You're also a toiler." Uncle Shun knew that because Teng Niang's husband didn't like Dabao, he had to have another heir to Teng Niang. Now that she has three children, it is not easy for her. "You said that if you had chosen the manager of Qian, that day would ......"
"Uncle Shun!" Fuji Niang hurriedly interrupted him, "How can a subordinate like us afford it!" ”
"Hey......" Uncle Shun also knew that it was too late to say this now, "It's all fate!" ”
"Hehehe, Uncle Shun, I'm sorry for you. I'm like this now, it's good......"
"Hmm!" Uncle Shun lit his cigarette stick and began to talk about other things
Teng Niang didn't want to be the embarrassing topic just now, and then Uncle Shun's words went on.
The carriage drove out of the capital without hurrying, and then went southeast along the periphery of Xiangshan. Teng Niang's husband's family, Lijiazhuang, is three hundred miles southeast of the capital, which is a suburb of the capital.
"Let's go to Lijiazhuang for most of the day, I'm afraid it's dark. I can only spend one night, and then I will rush back tomorrow. ”
"Okay, then it's troublesome Uncle Shun to delay one more night."
"Hey, there's nothing to do!"
The two chatted with each other, and the bumpy road was not so boring.
They are both in a hurry, but Qian Feiyue and Qianmo in Xiangshan are always full of surprises and adventures. In four days, they traveled nearly 60 miles through the mountains and forests. If it weren't for Qianmo, Qian Feiyue felt that she would definitely not be able to get out.
The day after they escaped, they encountered a wild boar. After making the wild boar into a roast pig, Xiao Huo Wei protested that he was hungry. It's just that Qianmo is with her almost all the time, and she can't get blood crystals to feed her. When the boar was burned to death by the fire, he was already looking at himself with some doubt.
In this way, Xiaohuo can only go back to sleep to replenish his strength. Because of the previous lesson of the python, Qian Scarlet Moon had already begun to think about how to make Xiaohuo grow up. It can't always be like this, and you'll be hungry and sleepy at every turn. It's just that this thing will have to wait until they get out of here.
For the rest of the day, all Qian Scarlet could do was help guide him, teach him to speak, or help him guard when he was tired.
After cutting the wild boar and putting it in a straw cage, you don't have to worry about a few days' rations. When passing by the wild bamboo forest, I made some bamboo tubes to hold water. This way they can travel with all their might, without being distracted and taking the time to find something to eat and drink.
Sometimes Qian Mo would chat with some birds and squirrels, and then gesture to tell Qian Scarlet Moon what they were talking about. Although her understanding may not be the same as his expression in many cases, it does not prevent the two of them from having a good time.
"Qianmo, can you talk to big animals?" Qian Scarlet Moon was a little curious, "Why did you seem to be talking to that wild boar that day, and it still attacked us?" ”
"Yue, I don't understand!" Qianmo said that he didn't know how to answer her question, which was a word he had newly learned.
"Uh...... All right! Qian Scarlet Moon shrugged, but in the next second, when she looked at the dozens of pairs of green eyes shining in the darkness in the distance, her voice trembled, "Qianmo, I want to know now......."
