Chapter 65, Secret Letters
Liu Ruyue returned to the room and leaned against the door, thinking a lot.
She thought about it a lot, but if she didn't do it, she was afraid that she would delay her life.
To do something, she was afraid that this was a trap for her.
Suddenly, she remembered that on the day she entered the house, there was a cook who spoke ill of her, and her head was drenched with pickles pulled by birds.
A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
She went back to the bed, pulled up the quilt, and lay down.
Early in the morning of the second day, she packed up and found Mama Wei, "Mama Wei, I know that the house has been busy recently, but there are two children in the family, and Shuigen is too young, I have to go back to see it anyway, the child's father is a scholar who can't lift his hands and shoulders, I'm afraid he can't take care of the children, I want to go back and see them." ”
"Wan Niang, the house has been busy recently, Aunt Fang is worried about her mother's affairs, she doesn't think about tea and dinner, only the fine dishes you make can make her eat two bites, if you take two days off, I'm really afraid that Aunt Fang won't be able to support it." Mama Wei was embarrassed and politely refused Liu Ruyue's leave.
Liu Ruyue bit her lip in embarrassment, squeezed her hands with her hands staggered, muttered about the two children in her mouth, and finally pleaded in a compromise, "Mama Wei, then, can you ask the little guy who received the errand out of the house to do me a favor and send my monthly money back to my husband this month?" ”
"I can't go back, at least I have money, and I can't starve my children, so I'll give him a thank you fee."
"I just came to the house not long ago, and I don't know the little guy running outside on weekdays, so I can only trouble Mama Wei to do me a favor and find a trustworthy little guy." The big families are strictly controlled, and the small doors of the Yayin Garden are locked at night, and there is no way to climb over the wall to enter the hospital.
During the day, the maid and the maid can't go out to hang out, Liu Ruyue has to be on call in the small kitchen at any time, and she has no chance to go to Chen's mansion.
Under Liu Ruyue's bitter request, Mama Wei finally agreed.
On weekdays, the little maid is not allowed to enter Aunt Fang's Yayin Garden without the request of her aunt.
Liu Ruyue took the money bag to the door of the moon gate, handed the money bag to the little maid, and told him the address.
The little servant Tian Gui smiled and took 20 Wen for the errand fee, and he was sure to do it, and asked, "Does Wan Niang have a message for me to bring to your husband?" ”
"What else can you explain to an old husband and wife, isn't it just to take care of the children." Suddenly thinking of something, Liu Ruyue's face turned red, "Let him study hard at home, don't go out to look for flowers and ask Liu, if I find out, the old lady will chop him with a knife." ”
After saying this, Liu Ruyue seemed to feel that it was not good to say this in front of outsiders, so she turned her head and went back to the courtyard.
Tian Gui threw away the money bag in his hand, turned a corner, and turned into a utility room, and respectfully held the money bag up with both hands, "Mama Wei." ”
Mama Wei took the money bag, opened it, and poured the contents on the table in front of her, only broken silver and copper plates, and no confetti.
Then he turned the money bag over and over again, and there was no embroidery marking.
When he put the money back into his purse, he asked, "Did she let you bring a message?" ”
Tian Gui said Liu Ruyue's words word for word.
"Well, it's okay, you ask people to bring the money bag over according to the address, and the rest of the people in the house who want to let the errand boy bring things home, you keep an eye on it, remember that you can't let go of any of them, you have to check it carefully."
"Yes."
When the time came, Tian Gui came back and brought back the news that the money had been delivered to the family, and told him that the two children were doing well, and Liu Ruyue sent him a bag of fried melon seeds.
Two days later, the official of the Yamen of Xingsha County knocked on the door of the Chen Mansion, saying that he had brought back a jade pendant claiming to be given by the eldest son of the Chen Mansion for the Chen Mansion to identify.
For a while, the subordinates of the Chen Mansion became excited.
When the yamen came, a businessman in the Chen Mansion did not dare to take Qiao.
Even Aunt Fang, who fainted on the bed from exhaustion, was helped out of Yayin Garden by Mama Wei and Huang Ling, and went to the main hall to identify the jade pendant.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the house, taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Ruyue didn't care about taking off her apron, so she pretended to be watching the excitement, and followed the big guy to leave Yayin Garden.
One by one, they all squeezed forward and probed their brains to see the jade pendant in the hand of the officer.
Liu Ruyue couldn't squeeze in, so she could only stand at the back of the crowd in frustration.
Suddenly, an exclamation came from inside, "This is the master's two-year-old birthday gift to Brother Yao, thank God, Brother Yao is still alive!" Woooooooo ”
Aunt Fang cried breathlessly, and Mama Wei also wiped her tears with a handkerchief, stuffed silver into the servant and asked, "How is Brother Yao?" Now that Brother Yao has returned, when will he go home! ”
The official did not accept the silver handed over by Mama Wei, this behavior made Mama Wei flash a trace of surprise, "Brother Yao is in the county office?" Could it be that he also believed the instigation of the villain, thinking that Aunt Fang was trying to harm him, so he didn't want to come back? ”
The official replied with a straight look, "A child who claimed to be Chen Yao, the eldest son of the Chen family, shouted that he had a great grievance, and knelt down and fainted at the gate of the Dongting County Ya. ”
"This is the jade pendant sent to the county government by the county government, since Aunt Fang has confirmed that the jade pendant belongs to Chen Yao, the county government envoy said that the Chen Mansion will send three people to the county government to identify whether the child is really Chen Yao, and other matters will be discussed later."
Mama Wei turned sideways and looked at Aunt Fang.
Aunt Fang nodded again and again, her amorous eyes were full of sadness, and she couldn't help but sob, "This is as it should be, I don't know how much Brother Yao has suffered outside, Mama Wei personally went to Youlanju to find two grandmothers and maids who have served Brother Yao, you take them to the county government together, you must identify them well, by the way, bring some food and clothing." ”
She thoughtfully instructed Mama Wei, "Brother Yao has been stimulated and has a misunderstanding with us, you don't have to force him to recognize people in the past, just look at him from a distance, so as not to make him afraid." ”
"Whether this case is managed by the county government or tried by the county government, we will cooperate to find out the truth as soon as possible, and we can also help me clear up my grievances and solve Brother Yao'er's misunderstanding of me."
Mama Wei looked at Aunt Fang distressedly, and responded one by one, "Well, auntie, don't worry, the old slave knows it." ”
Regarding Brother Yao'er's reluctance to come back, Aunt Fang covered her forehead with a blow, choked away from aggrieved tears, and staggered back into Bai Zhi's arms, "It's business as usual, let's go back to Yayin Garden." ”
"Yes, auntie!"
As the eldest maid beside Aunt Fang, Qingju waved her handkerchief to the crowd watching the excitement, "Okay, okay, let's go back and do things, my aunt is tired like this, can you let my aunt save some snacks?" ”
In the end, Qingju wiped her tears from her heart.
Looking at the lively people, where are they embarrassed to stay here, they all shook their heads and sighed that Aunt Fang's is not easy, and they feel sorry for her, the old man is not concerned about Liu's funeral, and he has not come back for more than a month, so tired that Aunt Fang's own children can't take care of it, but they have to work for Liu's funeral and Liu's son.
