Chapter 62: Take-in
It didn't take long for the little boy to bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and under the signal of Le Qing, he reluctantly bent over and bent his back to act as a bookcase.
Lin Yuniang took the ink-laden brush handed over by Le Qing, pinched the wide cuffs in one hand, held the pen in the other, and put the pen on the back of the child's rice paper without the slightest hesitation: I have nowhere to go, can the son take me in?
Seeing that Le Qing was silent, he wrote anxiously: I won't trouble you Gongzi, and I won't eat and drink for nothing in Gongzi, I will do laundry, cooking, and cleaning the room, and I can do any dirty work.
The writing on the white rice paper is very neat and clean, as graceful as her person, and her posture when she picks up the pen and writes is also very exquisite, and at a glance you know that this is by no means a child that can be raised by ordinary civilian families.
"Girl, where is your home? Is it okay for you to go back after ordering someone? Le Qing did not agree to Lin Yuniang's request.
Family?
She can't go back to the home of the original owner of this body, and she doesn't dare to go back.
Lin Yuniang shook her head with a pale face, and the hand holding the pen trembled slightly: I am already homeless, and I beg my son to take me in.
Le Qing thought about it and said his difficulties: "It's not that I won't let you follow, it's just that I have the emperor's order under me, and I really can't take you with me." The woman in front of her was afraid that something had happened to her family, so she thought about finding death.
Lin Yuniang did not chase and continue to beg the other party, but asked such a sentence that did not match the topic just now: Does the son discriminate against women?
Le Qing looked at the words on the white rice paper and shook his head in confusion.
Lin Yuniang pointed to the child under the rice paper: Then why can he follow you, but I can't? Is it because I'm a woman? Or is it because I didn't sell myself into slavery with my son? If that's the case, I can always show myself in men's clothes and sign a deed of sale with my son.
Speaking of which, with the character of Leqing and a good person, I really didn't know how to refuse, so I had to kindly arrange her future life: "If the girl really has nowhere to go, you can find a place for the girl to go below." "All in all, just don't let Lin Yuniang follow him.
Lin Yuniang lowered her eyelids, shook her head gently, and retreated quietly, trying not to let her body block the carriage.
Le Qing looked at her eyelids from the moment she urged her to lower her eyelids, saw the loneliness and helplessness in her eyes, and finally just sighed, beckoning the little boy who had put away the rice paper on his back and was standing aside to get into the carriage.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded in her ears, and Lin Yuniang stood in place, not catching up, but just watching the carriage go away.
——————。
The end of summer has arrived, and the autumn breeze has hit, which not only makes people feel cool, but the temperature rises in the middle of the day, and the temperature is still extremely hot.
The boy who was driving the carriage stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, glanced at the back of the carriage with his head and said, "Childe, that dumb girl is still following our carriage with a dead face, do you want to drive her away?" ”
Speaking of this dumb girl, Xiao Tong also looked disdainful.
Since he fished her up from the river and saw his son-in-law, he didn't look for death, but saw that his son-in-law was good-looking, kind-hearted and easy to talk, so he took the opportunity to pester his son-in-law, with a pitiful look to win the sympathy of his son, so that his son could take her.
However, who is her son-in-law, he naturally saw through her tricks at a glance, and no matter how she pretended to be pitiful, he didn't let go and took her with him.
This kind of woman, he didn't know how much he had seen by his son's side, and in the end, he didn't honestly dispel those thoughts that shouldn't be.
But this woman was so clever in her tactics that he had ever seen that she had not been able to do anything, and now she had resorted to bitter tactics and followed their carriage on foot all day up the mountain.
Even if a big man walks the mountain road all day without eating or drinking, his body may not be able to bear it, let alone a delicate little woman.
"Stop." Le Qing's gentle voice came from inside the carriage.
Although Xiao Tong didn't know what his son wanted to do, he didn't dare to listen to what his son said even if he was reluctant.
After the carriage stopped, Le Qing got out of the carriage and walked straight to Lin Yuniang, who was in a mess: "Why are you doing this?" ”
Lin Yuniang licked her chapped lips, lowered her head and said nothing.
Le Qing looked at her for a long time, and the warm voice sounded again: "The original intention of Zai Xia was for the good of the girl, since the girl you are determined to follow the girl, then follow it, but it is very dangerous to follow the next side, and I am afraid that the safety of the girl will not be guaranteed when the time comes." ”
The unkempt Lin Yuniang raised her head violently, smiled brightly at Le Qing, and gestured that she could protect herself and never cause trouble to Le Qing.
Le Qing shook her head helplessly, her eyes fell on Lin Yuniang's little feet, the shoes on her feet had long been gone, and a pair of white feet were bloodily stained with dust and gravel, which was shocking to look at.
Lin Yuniang shrank her feet a little uncomfortably, buried her feet under the long hem of her clothes, and pulled out an embarrassed smile at Le Qing.
Le Qing sighed lightly, called the child, ordered the child to take the medicine box from the carriage, and found a set of clothes and shoes that the child had not worn much, and handed the same things in his hand to Lin Yuniang and said: "The height of the child is not much different from the girl, so I can only ask the girl to change into the child's clothes, shoes and socks first, and then help the girl buy her belongings in the next town?" ”
Lin Yuniang was flattered and took the clothes, shoes and socks handed over by Le Qing, and took the medicine box in the child's hand one step ahead of Le Qing, pointed to her feet, and said that she just needed to deal with the wound by herself, and she didn't need to trouble others.
Xiao Tong didn't have a good impression of this dumb girl who was pestering her son, but now she took the medicine box from her hand without saying a word, and jumped to her feet angrily: "Childe hasn't spoken yet, what are you doing to rob it?" ”
Lin Yuniang smiled at the child for the first time, lifted the hem of her clothes, exposed her scarred feet, bent over and sat on the stones on the side, opened the medicine box, first took out a pot of liquor in the medicine box, and simply cleaned the dust and gravel on the wound with gauze dipped in liquor, and then wrapped the clean gauze on her feet after smearing the golden medicine, and then quickly put on the shoes and socks that did not fit and stood up from the ground.
The whole process took less than a cup of tea, and no sound came from her mouth except for the occasional grinning of pain.
After seeing her bloody feet, Xiao Tong was inevitably a little moved in his heart, but he still expressed disgust at her cheeky behavior of following her son-in-law.
After getting into the carriage, she was still arranged in the carriage full of luggage from before, while Le Qing and Xiaotong were in the carriage in front of her.
