Chapter Thirty-Eight: Visiting the King's Family
With the bumps along the way, the carriage that Yingchun was sitting in came to a large miscellaneous yard. Sizhu and Zelan got out of the car first, turned around and came over to help Yingchun. Yingchun slowly stepped off the carriage.
In the yard, several daughters-in-law who were washing clothes and children playing couldn't help but poke their heads out to look out. Seeing that Yingchun and the others were about to come in, they were all bluffed back to their homes and closed the door.
Yingchun and the two walked in, Si Zhu pointed to a dilapidated door, and whispered to Yingchun: "Madam, it should be here." ”
Yingchun stopped, Zelan stepped forward to call the door, the door opened, and a thirteen or fourteen, a girl in coarse cloth clothes and pants held the door and looked out. I saw a beautiful and dignified lady standing outside the door, and two delicate girls.
Zeeland asked, "This is Wang Gui's house. ”
The girl nodded nervously.
Zelan looked back at Yingchun and smiled, "Madam, this is it." ”
Yingchun came over and smiled at the girl and said, "I'm the lady in the Sun Mansion, I'll go in and sit, okay?" ”
As soon as the girl heard that it was the lady in the Sun Mansion, and knew that it was the housewife of her mother's house, she felt even more nervous, so she first untied the apron around her waist, wiped her hands, stepped forward and gently gave Yingchun a salute, called her "Madam", and then let Yingchun into the house.
Yingchun walked into the house and really realized what the four walls of the house are. The walls of the house were gray and black on all sides, and there was some green moss growing in the corner of the roof. In the middle of the room lay an old wooden table, two old chairs, and a few small stools, and on one wall stood a broken cabinet with a handle missing, and on the other wall was a large kang. There was a boy of six or seven years old sleeping on the kang, and the boy seemed to be sleeping very unsteadily, coughing twice after a while, and constantly turning his body. On one side of the kang, a pot of water was boiling on a small earthen stove.
The girl let Yingchun to a chair and touched the chair with her own clothes before inviting Yingchun to sit down.
Yingchun saw her and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”
The girl was a little shy: "I ...... My name is Xiao Cui. ”
Yingchun looked at the boy lying on the kang and asked Xiaocui, "Is he your brother?" What happened to him? ”
Xiao Cui asked, her eyes were a little red, and she said in a low voice: "He is my younger brother, his name is Jin Zhu, and his younger brother has been sick for half a month." My father died early, the family had no money, my brother was sick, and my mother had no money to see my brother, so she could only drag it out and find some local methods to treat it, but it didn't work. My brother has been seriously ill, and he has always been like this, and now he is sleeping on the kang and can't get up. After Xiao Cui finished speaking, tears fell.
"Why don't you hire a doctor?" Si Zhu asked.
"My former mother just invited a doctor, and the doctor said that there was a bit of a delay, and if you want to remove the root, you have to take medicine for a month. My mother is a little anxious, where does my family have that spare money. My mother took me and my younger brother, and it was already good to be able to drink a mouthful of porridge, where can I afford this medicine. ”
Yingchun opened his mouth and asked, "Didn't your mother give Jin Zhu medicine?" ”
Xiaocui said: "Yesterday, my mother caught a few pairs. However, it doesn't seem to be enough for a month. ”
Yingchun didn't speak, but he already understood everything.
Yingchun stood up with a smile and waved his hand gently, Si Zhu took out ten taels of silver and put it on the table.
Xiao Cui was startled and didn't dare to ask for anything.
Yingchun smiled and said, "Your mother did something for me, and this is my reward for her." ”
Xiaocui looked at Yingchun in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a long time.
Yingchun smiled, turned back to Zelan and said, "You stay, help Jin Zhu hire a better doctor, and you can go back after taking enough medicine for a month." ”
Zeeland said yes.
Xiaocui was so happy that she didn't know what to say, but just said "Thank you, madam" over and over again.
Yingchun went out with a smile.
Yingchun and Si Zhu sat in the carriage, Si Zhu looked at Yingchun carefully, since Yingchun got into the carriage, he pursed his lips and said nothing. Si Zhu knew his master's temperament, and his wife must have been angry.
After a long time, Yingchun finally sighed: "Villain." Si Zhu, there are really a lot of villains in the world. ”
Si Zhu looked at Yingchun: "Madam is talking about it...... Sun Rong's family? ”
"Maybe it's her, maybe it's Aunt Chen behind her, anyway, she can't run away with them. They are so carefully calculated, not only harming me, but also using Mu Xiang and Wang Gui's family. ”
Si Zhu lowered his head, thought about it, and suddenly shouted: "They first let Wang Gui's family pretend to help Mu Xiang, and then use Mu Xiang's trust in Wang Gui's family to harm Mrs. ”
Yingchun shook his head gently: "Not really, I'm afraid that they are taking advantage of others." I guess they didn't think about the idea of beating Wang Gui's family at first, because she was just a rough daughter-in-law. Later, they saw that Wang Gui's family had a good relationship with Mu Xiang, and inquired about Wang Gui's son's illness, and when he became a mother, he must be anxious, so they took advantage of Wang Gui's heart when they had no claims, coerced and tempted, and forced Wang Gui's family to agree to harm me, so they gave Wang Guijia some money to treat her child. ”
"There is one person missing in the kitchen, what preserved egg porridge and brown sugar, they all designed it. They're using all kinds of tricks to deal with me now. I fell ill, so Sun Shaozu could come forward and give Aunt Chen the opportunity to take charge of internal affairs again. Besides, they had to teach me a lesson that someone in the dark could harm me. ”
Si Zhu gasped: "Madam, how can they be so vicious? ”
Yingchun smiled coldly: "People die for money, and birds die for food." If I have blocked their way of wealth, will they let me go? ”
Yingchun looked at Si Zhu again and said: "This time, thanks to your clever girl, who is well arranged, and can actually find out Wang Gui's family by looking at the cocoon, we can find out the bigger black hand behind the scenes-Aunt Chen and others." ”
Si Zhu smiled: "Madame praised me wrongly, or Madame will plan." It's not that Madame knows that Wang Gui's family is wrong, and I won't arrange for someone to spy on her. As a result, the whole thing was found. ”
Yingchun went to pinch Si Zhu's face: "You are a well-behaved and clever person, did you teach Luo Yi a lesson this morning?" ”
Si Zhu covered his face with a smile: "Madame knows, I just want them to know that we are Madame's minions, and we have been loyal to Madame all our lives, and whoever dares to make fun of Madame is an enemy of us." ”
"What a great girl, I didn't misread you going." Yingchun teased Si Zhu.
Si Zhu also smiled mischievously: "Isn't this still learned from Mrs., the slave maid has just learned a small beginning, and the later one is even more powerful, and the lady will slowly teach the slave maid." ”
Yingchun smiled and twisted Si Zhu's face: "Have you learned to be idle?" Still kidding me? ”
Si Zhu covered his face with a smile: "The slave maid is also learning from Madame." ”
The master and servant laughed and returned to the Sun Mansion.
