Chapter 165: Bedtime Story
At the end of June, Bao Yuan and her husband finally completed the entire investigation and verification process and were released from prison.
Although the jewelry of the whole box is indeed owned by Bao Yuan, after all, it belongs to the reward of the concubine of the previous dynasty, and now it is really disrespectful to be pawned at such a cheap price.
Therefore, these rewards, Jingzhao Yin Yamen will be returned to the palace intact.
For this matter, Bao Yuan's husband once scolded in prison, but Bao Yuan kept sitting in the corner, looking at a small wet and dirty clearing in front of him with a sad expression.
When she was just imprisoned, Bao Yuan anxiously asked the official to go back to the flower lane on the edge of Baihuaya for her, because there was a three-year-old child at home, and she was too anxious to arrest people at the beginning, and she didn't even have time to explain what happened to Nian Nian.
Hearing that there was no one to take care of the children at home, the official made a special trip the next day. If it really can't be done, it is better to take the child to the prison to take care of it, because there is no shortage of this food in the prison anyway.
However, when the official returned, there was no figure of Nian Nian by his side.
"There's no one at home." The official replied, "I asked your neighbor about it, and it was said that a girl from the Lan number came to see it last night and took the child away. ”
Bao Yuan immediately understood.
On this day, when she got out of the prison door, she couldn't care about her husband behind her, nor did she care about the filth she was all over at the moment, and ran towards Lanzi in stride.
At this time, it was already evening, and the front of the Lan brand was gradually becoming lively, and Bao Yuan stepped on the steps outside the Lan number, and was stopped by the turtle paw here.
"What kind of place is this, a person named Hanako dares to break in? Let's go! ”
"I want to see Bai Ling......," Bao Yuan muttered.
"What?"
"I want to see Boling! Let me meet Boling! ”
Several turtle paws outside glanced at each other, and then burst into laughter.
"There are so many people who want to see our Bailing girl!"
Seeing that Bao Yuan was still stubbornly trying to go inside, several turtle paws pulled out the stick on their waists, and after a random beating, they carried Bao Yuan out.
At this moment, a magnificent carriage approached, and a turtle paw stopped, pointed at the carriage on the side of the road, and said mockingly, "See this carriage?" ”
Bao Yuan raised his head, and on the carriage, the satin-decorated curtain was fluttering outside the carriage with the advancing wind.
"If you want to see Bailing, you have to use this carriage to pull two boxes of silver first, and then Miss Bailing will come and tell you when she is free...... Do you understand? Turtlepaw burst out laughing.
Bao Yuan used her last strength to shake off the hand that was clamping her shoulder with the turtle's paws, and she stood not far away and raised her face, taking a deep look at the brightly lit Lanzi high-rise building.
Then she lowered her head and left the place with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
……
Late that night, it was raining again, and several corners of the house were leaking, but Bao Yuan was no longer in the mood to pick up the footbasin.
The rain wet the foot of the bed, and although it was the height of summer, Bao Yuan still felt a little cold.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
The door wasn't actually locked, because her husband hadn't come back tonight, and she had to leave it for him.
"Who?"
Through the door, a familiar voice came from the noisy rain, "Mother! ”
Bao Yuan hurriedly sat up, opened the door, and stood outside with an umbrella on her shoulder that was not commensurate with her body.
She hurriedly picked up her thoughts, picked up her umbrella and looked down the street—there was no one in the rain at night.
Bao Yuan took the umbrella and hurriedly carried Nian Nian back to the house.
"Where have you been!" Bao Yuan's tears welled up, and she hugged Niannian tightly in her arms.
"I've been with Sister Bai Ling and Sister Songqing......" Nian Nian felt that she was a little overwhelmed by being held, and reluctantly adjusted her posture.
There was no light in the house, and Bao Yuan couldn't see Niannian's face clearly, but she could smell the smell of her daughter's body—Niannian's body was very clean, and the clothes she wore smelled of sunburned.
She suddenly remembered that the clothes she was wearing hadn't been changed for nearly a month, and she quickly let go of Niannian again.
She flattened the bed again and placed the baby in a still dry and warm place.
"Mother?" Nian Nian shouted in the darkness.
"Mother," Bao Yuan said softly, "I'll go change my clothes." ”
Bao Yuan's voice was choked, after arriving home before, she only felt that she had no strength in her body, and she didn't even feel hungry, and she fell on the bed, unwilling to move.
I don't have time to take a shower tonight, so I can only go tomorrow morning.
"Where's Daddy?" Nian Nian asked again.
Bao Yuan's eyes felt a little astringent, and said in a low voice, "He has something to do outside, and he may not come back tonight." ”
Nian Nian answered.
Bao Yuan's own heart tightened for a while - what could it actually be? It's just where to go and drink on credit......
The mother and daughter soon lay down on the bed, and Niannian obediently rested her head on her mother's arm, although the treasure duck did not smell good, but Niannian still hugged it tightly.
Bao Yuan felt her daughter curled up in her arms like a kitten, and her nose suddenly became sore, and she said softly, "...... Are you good at Sister Bailing, this time? ”
"It's good." Nian Nian replied in a low voice, she raised her head, and her soft forehead hair rubbed against Bao Yuan's chin, "No matter where my mother goes next time, I will take Nian Nian with me, okay...... I miss you so much. ”
Bao Yuan's tears fell suddenly, and she couldn't say anything, so she had to nod her head again and again.
"Can I still go to Sister Boling in the future?" Nian Nian suddenly asked again.
Bao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly cooled half.
"Why?" Swallowing her grief, she asked, "...... Do you think Sister Bai Ling is better than my mother? ”
Nian Nian shook his head.
"Sister Boling tells me stories every night." Nian Nian said softly, "She originally said that when the story is finished, her mother will come back, but yesterday's story has not been finished yet......"
Bao Yuan's tears fell again, and she held her daughter tightly in her arms again.
Although Nian Nian didn't understand why her mother was crying, she was very sensibly silent.
It took a long time for Bao Yuan to calm his breathing.
"What story did Sister Bai Ling tell you?" Bao Yuan asked softly, "Can you also tell your mother?" ”
Nian Nian nodded obediently, "Then I'll tell my mother the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves!" ”
When this story was first told, it was broken down into five parts by Bai Ling, and he coaxed Niannian to sleep for five nights.
When retelling it coherently, Nian Nian missed some details, but the whole story was remembered very clearly.
Nian Nian spoke excitedly, but it was too late at the moment, and after saying this, her voice was already obviously sleepy.
Nian Nian whispered to Bao Yuan, and Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, the little match girl, and the brave little tailor...... Many, many stories like that.
In the future, every night before going to bed, she can tell these stories to her mother.
