Chapter 210: The Nurse
Everyone was anxious to go home and share the ecstasy with their families, but they sat down for a while and then took their leave. Pucao Fang Jie and the two chatted with Li Zheng and his wife for a few more words, and made an appointment to visit Zhang Guier and Shengzi in Fuxue in a few days, and then went out.
Shanzi squeezed between the two, pulling his sister with one hand and his eldest brother Fang with the other, and from time to time he restrained his calves and played a "swing, laughing loudly." Pu Cao asked him in a low voice how many big words he had written in the morning, but this naughty boy couldn't hide from telling the truth, so he received two more chestnuts on his head. Fang Jie is always a good person, reaching out to hold Tao Boy by his side. Shanzi proudly stuck out his tongue at his sister and made a grimace, and when he saw that his sister was about to hit again, he immediately ran away with a smile.
Fang Jie and Pu Cao were helpless, shook their heads with a smile and followed.
Chu Fei walked not far behind a few people, seeing all this in his eyes, and suddenly felt some inexplicable envy in his heart. He looked down at the brocade shirt on his body, and the hollow chicken heart on his waist, all of which showed that he was born with a golden spoon, but he had never experienced such simple joy and happiness in front of him...
The three of them and one of the small slowly walked back to the back street, and as soon as they turned the corner, Shanzi pointed to the front of Fang's house and shouted, "Brother Fang, you have a guest at home!" ”
Fang Jie looked up when he heard the sound, and sure enough, a green cloth pony car was parked in front of his yard. The person next to the carriage who was looking around was the little maid Xizi who came with Chu Fei that day, and the young woman in the half-worn brocade dress next to him was extremely unfamiliar.
Pu Cao could also see it clearly at this time, and when she heard Fang Jie glance at each other, both of them guessed that this must be a "human witness" found by the Chu family. Sure enough, the woman turned her head and glanced at Shanzi after being pointed out by the little girl, and immediately threw away the package in her hand and stumbled over, "Little master, my hard-working little master." The slave was so worried that she begged God to worship the Buddha day and night, and hoped that the little master would be safe. Little master, it's not good to be a slave and a maid, if you don't get sick that day, Madame will definitely take a slave and a maid. The slave can find the young master..."
The woman hugged Shanzi and cried tears, Shanzi was suddenly held like this, and he was so panicked that he couldn't stop struggling, but after a while, he seemed to remember something, frowned and asked softly, "Sister-in-law?" ”
The woman heard these two words, as if she was a fairy voice in the sky, and responded one after another, "Little master, it's the royal sister-in-law." God bless, the little master hasn't looked at the slave yet. Pity our lady, woo, our lady can't see the little master so safe and sound. ”
Shanzi remembered the appearance of his mother pushing him to run in tears in the chaos that day, and the tears also lay down, hugging the woman's neck and crying, "Sister-in-law Wang, woo, I want my mother, I want my mother!" ”
One big and one small two cried earth-shatteringly, Pu Cao saw it in his eyes, and his heart couldn't tell whether it was sour or bitter. Shanzi found his relatives and recognized the nurse who had taken care of him since he was a child, which is a good thing. But why did she feel that her breath was so heavy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't be raised.
Fang Jie saw Pu Cao frowning and smiling bitterly, how could he not guess her contradictions and reluctance, he reached out and patted her arm and whispered comfort, "Don't think too much, you are still his sister." ”
Pu Cao sighed, smiled reluctantly, stepped forward and patted Shanzi's head and said softly, "Shanzi doesn't cry, it's cold outside, let's go home and talk about it." ”
Shanzi spent this year in Zhang's house, although he shouted Pucao as his sister, in fact, he generally regarded Pucao as his mother in his heart with Peach Blossom. At this time, he felt sad, so he broke away from the nurse's arms and hugged his sister's neck and choked, "Sister, Shanzi's heart hurts, Shanzi misses his mother..."
"My sister knows that Shanzi is a filial child. Our Shanzi's mother, watching Shanzi eat and sleep well in the sky, and work hard to read and practice words every day, must be very happy. Therefore, we Shanzi must grow up better, so that your mother can rest assured, isn't it? ”
"Well, Shanzi is a good boy, Shanzi listens to her sister."
"Shanzi is the most well-behaved." Pu Cao praised it, lowered his head and kissed Shanzi on the forehead, then got up and took his hand and said to the nurse and Chu Fei, "If you have something to say, let's go into the house." After saying that, she led Shanzi into the courtyard.
Chu Fei saw that Shanzi and the nurse had successfully recognized each other, and he was happy that this nephew had finally been found, where did he care about these little things, so he nodded and followed Fang Jie in.
The nurse was squatting on the ground, staring blankly at the empty arms and not knowing what she was thinking. Xizi reached out and tugged at his arm, and whispered, "Sister-in-law Wang, you saw it." You still don't believe what I said on the way? This woman is a powerful woman, she has already fooled your little master, hum..."
He didn't want to say anything more, and he didn't want Chunni to come out of the house to take a look, and when he saw the two of them talking together, he asked, "Who are you, what are you doing squatting in front of my house?" ”
Xizi hurriedly pulled Wang's sister-in-law to stand up and responded, "This sister-in-law, we are the servants of the Chu family, just because we suddenly saw the little master, we cried out with joy for a while, but I didn't expect to disturb the cleanliness of my sister-in-law, so we will leave." ”
Chun Nier has been trading with Pucao for a year, and now she is the master of the house and is making money every day, and the waist pole is naturally a hundred times harder than before, and she is no longer as humble as when she had to bow her head and hold her chest when she saw people. When she heard this, she only nodded slightly, and said, "Since you are a guest of the Fang family, let's hurry in and serve the master." ”
"Okay, okay." Xizi smiled and responded and pulled Wang's sister-in-law and walked to the courtyard of Fang's house, unloading the car and settling down.
Seeing the two of them walking away, Chunni frowned and thought about it, always feeling that there was something wrong with them, and she thought in her heart that she would talk to Pucao later. The servants of these big families are like the little ghosts in front of Lord Yama, and they are extremely difficult. A lot of things are bad on their mouths, and it never hurts to let the grass grow a few more eyes and pay more attention.
Over there, Pu Cao coaxed him to eat two pieces of dim sum, and then looked up at Chu Fei, who was happy, but he still couldn't say anything quibble. Just like Fang Jie just said, whether Shanzi is a child of an ordinary peasant family or a child of Tianwang Laozi, he is her younger brother of Pucao. As long as he still recognizes her as a sister, what does it matter if he is a relative or a slave? Besides, there are many people in this world who bully the weak and fear the hard, and Shanzi's many rich relatives always have more advantages than disadvantages.
Thinking of this, she finally made up her mind and said, "Since Gongzi Chu has found Shanzi's nurse, it must be Shanzi's uncle." In the future, I hope that the prince of Chu will treat Shanzi well. When Gongzi Chu returns to Kyoto, if Shanzi wants to go with him, I won't stop him. ”
"Is that true?" Chu Fei thought of the stern scolding in his father's letter, if he couldn't recognize his nephew, he would definitely be stripped of his skin when he returned to Kyoto. Now that Pu Cao said this, he was naturally overjoyed, and assured with a smile, "Don't worry, Brother Shou'er will definitely not be wronged at all if he has my care." ”
Pucao raised her eyebrows, but did not respond. Some things are about deeds, not just words that can be trusted. No one can explain the affairs of the high-ranking family.
Pu Cao was so silent, the sister-in-law standing at the door was in a hurry, she tightened the handkerchief in her hand and walked to the hall and knelt down and begged, "Uncle, the slave and maid are greatly favored by the lady, since the little young master was born, the slave and maid are taking care of it, and the slave and maid are very clear about the preferences of food and clothing." The slave and maid begged the uncle to allow the slave and maid to stay and continue to serve, and the slave and maid must do their best and dare not have the slightest slack. ”
Fang Jie heard that she seemed to be complaining a little about Pucao's poor care, raised his eyebrows and sneered, "What, does this sister-in-law think that we have mistreated Shanzi?" ”
Sister-in-law Wang's body stiffened, but she only bowed her head slightly and responded, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Fang Jie was about to say anything more, but Pu Cao felt that it was useless to say more, and shook his head at him before saying, "Originally, I thought that the mountain was too big, and it was time to sleep in a separate room with me." It just so happened that his nurse arrived, so I didn't have to worry. I sent him to live in the evening, and there were also east and west courtyards on the left and right, and I heard a word when I shouted something. ”
Chu Fei and Sister-in-law Wang didn't expect Pu Cao to let Shanzi come over to live with them, and they were surprised that their eyes were round, and even Shanzi twisted his body and shouted not to part with his sister.
Pu Cao hugged him in his arms, endured the sourness in his heart and whispered comfort, "Shanzi is obedient, you still go home to eat and play during the day, and only come to sleep at night." Besides, Sister Peach Blossom is about to be a year older again, and if his second brother comes back and sees you and still sleeps with us, he will scold you Sister Peach Blossom. Our Shanzi is the most sensible and distressed Sister Peach, right? ”
Shanzi pouted and thought about it, and nodded aggrievedly.
Seeing that he answered, Pu Cao smiled and pushed him home to pick up the wooden sword and cloth tiger that he would hold when he slept, Fang Jie saw that Pu Cao's face was not good, and he didn't want to greet a few people from the Chu family, so he got up and accompanied Pu Cao to Zhang's house.
Pucao blew the cold wind all the way, sighed, "Don't ask me why I'm like this, I don't want to." But if Shanzi is destined to return to the high-ranking family in the future, it is for his good to do so. ”
Fang Jie sighed, stepped forward and just shook her hand tightly, and didn't say a word, but he won all the words of comfort...
In this way, Shanzi quickly moved to the east chamber of the Fang family and lived in the north and south houses with Chu Fei, and Chu Fei happily asked Xizi to go into the city and buy a cart of playthings back. In the first few days, when Shanzi was about to go to Fang's house after dinner, he was still a little reluctant, but then he was jumping up and down and rejoicing, which made Pucao laugh, and couldn't help but scold him for being a white-eyed wolf.
That sister-in-law Liu is worthy of being a nurse, but she took over Shanzi's clothes in three or five days, took care of this naughty boy cleanly, and gradually returned to the appearance of a young master from a three-point rich family.
Pucao was relieved to see this, and the mushrooms planted in the greenhouse in the backyard began to arch the soil, and they needed to be carefully cared for, and occasionally they had to go into the city to take care of the two large and small restaurants, so they became more and more busy.
On this day, Fang Jie entered the city, Pu Cao came out of the greenhouse for half a day for nothing, and when he saw Peach Blossom sitting alone in the house doing needlework, he smiled and asked where Shanzi was. Peach Blossom pulled her sister-in-law to show off her newly embroidered magpie Dengmei, and at the end said that Shanzi had gone to play horseback riding and fighting with the children.
Pu Cao was curious about what kind of horse this naughty boy was going to ride, and he was worried that he wouldn't bump into it, so he pulled a headscarf and walked to Fang's house. As a result, as soon as she entered the courtyard, her face immediately sank.
(Two hours after the call today, I actually coded a chapter, and my speed was much faster.) Haha, where there's pressure, there's progress. )
