Chapter 42: The Poor Woman (Extra Chapter, Asking for Recommendation Votes)
A few days later, dozens of people led by Mrs. Zhu went to the grange to escape the heat. Wei Aluan took her four sons, and Aunt Bao Mei took a few older young masters.
Wei Zongyong had to stay at home because he had to go to court every day.
Aunt Liu took a pair of children to take care of the house, and the affairs of the family were managed by her for the time being.
Bao was not at ease, and left his most powerful companion Fang Guo's mother.
I always felt that Chunying had some problems recently, so I didn't ask her to follow, for fear that she would make something with Wei Changan when she got to the Grange and lose face in front of the Shao family.
In the morning, the carriages and horses were ready, and they took up half of the street.
The young sons all rode in front, and Bao Shiwei Aluan and Mrs. Zhu walked in front in a car.
Aunt Mei and her twin daughters sat in the same car, and Wei Yining and Wei Yimi, Wei Yiwan sisters, sat in the same car.
The two big carriages in the back were all accompanied by maids, and there were more than a dozen people crowded in one car, and the last few cars were all luggage.
Mrs. Zhu and their carriage had already walked out of the street, and the next thing was Wei Yining's car.
Aunt May and her two twin daughters were in the back of the car.
Just as Wei Yining and her car were about to leave, a ragged woman ran out of nowhere, holding a skinny and bald child in her hand.
The child, also dressed in tatters, with a yellow face and thin muscles, and a pair of big eyes peeked timidly from behind the poor woman with horror and curiosity.
The woman immediately grabbed Aunt Mei and their chariot and begged bitterly, "Auntie, please have mercy on us!" I really can't help but take my children to you! ”
Wei Yining originally thought that this was a pair of beggar mother and daughter, but listening to this woman's words, it seemed that she and Aunt Mei had known each other for a long time.
She kept calling Aunt Mei her aunt's wife, which should be called according to Aunt Mei's identity in the Zhiyong Mansion.
When Wei Yiwan saw this scene, she ordered the coachman not to leave first, and the twin girls didn't always chase her like before these days, she flattered.
Wei Yiwan was very angry in her heart, and when she saw that a poor relative came to ask Aunt Mei for help, she spent her time watching the excitement next to her.
Wei Yimi was too lazy to take care of it, because she knew that Aunt Mei was from a low background, and she had always been disdainful of the poor.
But Wei Yiwan just wanted to see Aunt Mei and the twins embarrassed, so she said nothing and refused to leave.
Wei Yining sat in the same car with them, so he could only sit in the car and watch the changes.
The maids and women in the car behind also poked their heads out, and many of them had curious expressions on their faces.
Aunt Mei's face was flushed, and the twin girls naturally felt faceless.
Seeing this scene, the grooms in the two cars behind hurriedly drove the car away.
The maid in the car whispered, like a group of sparrows desperately trying to lower their voices, chattering, very excited.
Wei Yiwan felt that it was a pity, and she should have asked the people of the Shao family to take a good look at this scene, but it was a pity that they all left ahead.
Aunt Mei first scolded the two people loudly: "What are you looking for me for!" Hurry up and get out of here! Then he told the coachman to drive the woman aside.
But although the woman was thin, she had great strength, and her hands like chicken claws tightly held the wheels and did not let go, and her mouth was still begging bitterly: "Auntie, I beg you, please have mercy on us!" I met a miracle doctor who could cure the delicate disease, and I saw with my own eyes the man he cured, the black hair! ”
It turned out that the bald child she was holding was actually a little girl, in fact, it was not entirely correct to say that the child was bald, but her hair was extraordinarily thin, yellow and thin, like cow hair, and she couldn't even tie up a braid.
"How can there be such a miracle doctor! You don't come to me to cheat money! Aunt Mei calmly said with a calm face and didn't say anything at all: "You sold me at the beginning, and those few taels of silver pawn money can be regarded as buying out my relationship with you." I've helped you more or less over the years, but you have to make inches. I don't have mountains of gold and silver, and you are always tired of what I do! ”
The woman shook her head and cried, "It is true that the dead ghost did not come to cheat you out of money when he was alive, but I did not have a single one. This time there is really no way, the divine doctor said that it will cost at least ten taels of silver to treat this disease, and I can't afford to pay this money even if I knock on the bone and suck the marrow! ”
said that he wanted the child to kneel down and kowtow to Aunt Mei.
"Grandma, I beg you! If this child can't give birth to hair, no one will want to marry her! I only have such a child, and I will count on her when I am old! Female babies are different from male babies, and there is no other way out except to get married! Auntie, you have pity on me, I will never forget your kindness! ”
Aunt Mei was so noisy by her that she had no choice but to take out ten taels of silver from her pocket and throw it on the ground and said, "Take the silver and leave quickly, don't come to me again in the future." ”
The woman picked up the silver and knelt on the ground in thanksgiving.
Pulled the child over again, and told her to kowtow to Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei didn't want to entangle with them more, so she lowered the curtain and told the coachman to go quickly.
The grange they were going to was more than seventy miles outside the city, and when they stopped halfway to relieve everyone, Aunt Mei didn't get out of the car.
The twin daughters were also ashamed, Aunt Mei's poor relatives made them very disgraced before, who called their biological mothers lowly.
Wei Yiwan felt that the appearance of the mother and daughter was very appropriate, so that the dizzy twin daughters could be sober and aware of their weight.
So she stabbed them with two cool words from time to time, and she never got tired of it.
"Sister, do you really think there is a miracle doctor who can cure baldness?" Wei Yiwan asked Wei Yimi.
"You really take it seriously, that woman looks like she's here to cheat money." Wei Yimi sneered and said, "If that kid can grow hair, unless that doctor is Hua Tuo alive." ”
Wei Yiwan stopped talking when she heard this, what she thought in her heart was, how good it would be if there really was such a miracle doctor.
They rested a little halfway and got into the car again.
By noon, we had arrived at the Grange.
The Bao family had already sent someone to deliver the letter before, and the people in the grange had already cleaned the yard and house, just waiting for the masters to come and enjoy the coolness.
Lunch is eaten in the Grange, although it is not as rich and exquisite as in the Zhiyong Mansion, but it is fresh and interesting, and it has a different taste.
Wei Aluan came here with his mother every year when he was not out of the cabinet, and now when he comes again, he sees that those trees are much thicker than back then, and he can't help but sigh in his heart.
Wei Yining looked at these people in the village carefully, although there were many people coming and going, but he didn't see Mother Lin.
It seems that these servants on the Zhuangzi are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and I think they have some face to come to the front to serve the master.
Mother Lin is not among these people, which shows that her life in Zhuangzi is not good.
Wei Yining felt depressed when she thought of this, but she didn't show everything on her face, and no one noticed that she was unhappy.
