Chapter 81. The woman
While the eldest lady had not yet returned, Jing Wu hurried to find a reason to go home before the sun set in the west.
Before leaving, she packed a few moon cakes by the way, she didn't expect Dong Xiaoan to actually pour out the moon cakes, which were still puff pastry, not to mention the taste, completely worthy of the five-star standard!
More than a month later, it will be August 15, and this Dong Xiao'an, I am afraid that he also felt it to make this moon cake.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival is also celebrated in the current era, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is also a relatively important festival, there is no concept of "moon cakes".
The moon cake that Jing Wu recognized at a glance was probably a more peculiar cake in the eyes of Bai Xianyu.
On the way back to the front yard, she was surprised by the beautiful woman beside her.
Obviously, when I first saw her, she was not a passionate and active person, but when she faced the janitor of Zhining Courtyard, she could make friends with the other party in a few words.
And just now, when she was about to leave Zhining Courtyard, the two of them clearly didn't know each other's whereabouts for a while, but the beauty found her who was about to leave in a very short period of time, as if the entire Zhining Courtyard was ventilating her and reporting to her, obviously the beauty said that she was not familiar with Zhining Courtyard before.
Jing Wu wondered in his heart, what kind of environment can create such a person and character?
Unable to walk, Jing Wu asked as if unintentionally, "Beauty, where are your parents, are they also in the Bai family?" β
The beautiful woman smiled and replied lightly, "Before the maid, she was a beggar who wandered on the street, and she probably had no parents. β
"I'm sorry, Pretty Lady, I don't know." Jing Wu apologized awkwardly.
The beautiful woman chuckled, "What's so sorry about this, the maid has never had it, it's much better than what you lost halfway." β
Then, without moving, he changed the subject.
"Girl, what do you want to eat at night? The maid knows how to cook. β
Jing Wu was stunned, "Don't, I have a hard time using that stove, you are so small, how can I bully you." β
Who knows that the beautiful woman, when she heard this, she was a little annoyed.
retorted to Jing Wu angrily, "Girl, the maid is just short, but the maid is not small, the maid is four years older than the girl!" β
But that angry look looked in Jing Wu's eyes, isn't she still a short and cute Lori, she didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
The beauty at the moment, in her eyes, suddenly became vivid, and even the heart she was holding was let go, even if she didn't believe in the beauty, she should believe her father!
"Alright then, Pretty Lady...... Sister? Jing Wu couldn't help but be naughty.
The sudden banter caused the two of them to laugh all the way.
When they returned to the courtyard, Jingxin and Luwu had not yet returned.
But having an extra person by his side made Jing Wu feel a lot more at ease.
She took out the moon cake from the food box and gave one to the beauty, "Red bean filling, sweet but not greasy, you can taste it." β
The beautiful woman did not shirk it, and after taking it, she carefully wrapped the handkerchief and put it away.
"Why don't you eat it?"
The beautiful woman's round face turned red, "Such a novel food, the maid wants to eat separately with Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang treats the maid very well." β
Jing Wu nodded, her lips moved slightly, she wanted to say, let the beauty take it herself if she wants to eat, just take it yourself, there are not so many rules in her yard.
But after thinking about it, I swallowed it and changed the subject.
She straightened her face, "I was in Zhining Courtyard just now, but what did I find?" This is the purpose of their trip.
The beauty is much more exaggerated than her, as soon as Jing Wu opened this mouth, the beauty first searched around the room, for fear that someone would eavesdrop.
After confirming that it was safe, she came to Jing Wu's side, lowered her voice and talked to Jing Wu about what she had just discovered.
"Girl, the eldest lady is indeed sick, Mrs. Zhang said that she had heard that the eldest lady coughed after walking out of the gate of Zhining Courtyard, and Ami, who was in charge of washing in Zhining Courtyard, said that she had seen Diancui secretly washing a bloody veil. There is also the green dye of the flowers, saying that the eldest lady's room has been replaced with medicinal incense these days. β
"Girl, the eldest lady hides her illness very tightly, I'm afraid this illness is not very good."
The clues of the beautiful woman are very detailed, but they are indeed enough to corroborate.
If you want to know more specifically, I'm afraid you need to know through the people close to the eldest lady.
"Beauty, are you familiar with Mother Yan?"
"The maid has no ability, Mother Yan is very cautious, and she can't say anything." The beauty thought that Jing Wu was disgusted with her clichΓ©s, and they were all small characters in Zhining Courtyard, and they couldn't say too much.
Jing Wu did not explain.
On the contrary, it was a bit of a surprise that the beauty and Yan's mother were both at the behest of her father, but they didn't know each other, but she didn't remind the beauty.
β¦β¦
Later, Jing Xin was the first to return.
At this time, Jing Wu had already completed three dishes and one soup with the help of the beautiful woman.
Seeing that Lu Wu hadn't come back yet, she roughly guessed that Lu Wu was afraid that she was temporarily assigned something by her father.
As she grew older, Luwu gradually stopped taking care of her, and she began to slowly realize that Luwu was really not her mother......
Jing Wu then took out another dish from the plate and put it on the stove and left it for the green.
"Girl, you can leave it alone, the servant will arrange the dinner, and the servant will serve you and the housekeeper for dinner." The beauty of nature.
"No, you don't." Jing Wu directly refused when he heard this, and then pointed to the other one left on the case. "That portion is reserved for you, you can help me bring the food over, and I will come back to eat it myself."
Although the relationship with the beautiful woman gradually became harmonious.
But she wouldn't let the beautiful woman eat at the same table with her and her father, after all, even Luwu would never share a table with them when there were outsiders.
At the same time, she is not used to it, and she has to be served with food when she eats, and her father is the same.
The beauty hesitated for a moment, seeing that Jingwu didn't say anything polite or joking, so she didn't insist, and she was hungry this afternoon.
The two of them quickly put away the dishes, served the meal, and lit all the candles in the house by the way.
Jing Wu sent the beauty away and went to the courtyard to call Jing Xin for dinner.
Jing Xinle responded happily and followed into the house.
"Today's dishes are good, and my daughter's skills have improved greatly." Regardless of the taste, Jing Xin praised it first.
"Dad, you haven't eaten ...... yet"
"It's delicious to look at." Daughters boast of daughters, there is no need for a reason.
Jing Wu was tired on his face, but he was still very happy in his heart.
β¦β¦
"Dad, I'...... Is that woman coming back? Jing Wu suddenly asked, and the word "mother" was replaced by the woman again.
In the next morning, when she was silently eating melons, the beauty inadvertently mentioned that the term of office of the fourth master of the Bai family in Jiangnan was approaching.
She calculated, before and after, it has indeed been six years since she pinched off the time on the road, and the release officials of this dynasty have been rotated every six years, and Bai Siye should have returned to the capital to report on his work before this year.
And as soon as Bai Siye comes back, it means that her biological mother with this body will also come back.
Jing Xin put down his chopsticks, looking a little helpless, "What did you hear about the beauty?" β
What a shot in the foot......
Jing Wu nodded, and quickly shook his head again, "The beauty didn't say, I guess, Dad, do you have any contact with her?" β
"Do you remember her?"
When Yan Ru left with Bai Siye's family, Jing Wu was less than two years old, and it was basically difficult for a normal child to retain a memory of what happened before the age of three or four.
But Jing Wu is not a real child after all, although he is somewhat physically limited, and his memory is also very vague.
But if she thinks about it, she at least knows that she has a mother.
