Chapter Twenty-Three: The Son
"Who lives in the West Chamber? Why don't you rest in the middle of the night?" Gu Yutang's feet were soaked in water, and Ah Hua sat on a small stool to wash Gu Yutang's feet.
"The girl still doesn't go out and walk around much these days, you look at these blisters on your feet, all of them are swollen and as big as peas, I'll find a needle and pick it for Miss." Ah Hua continued to lower his head and wash Gu Yutang's feet, but he didn't see Gu Yutang looking at the West Chamber.
"Ah Hua, you say, does Jiang Zhiming's stinky boy live in the West Chamber, I saw that after he asked Grandmother Feng to say goodbye, he and we walked the same road, but they were separated at the three-way intersection of the corridor." Gu Yutang's mind was in the West Chamber, and he didn't notice that Ah Hua had already dried Gu Yutang's feet, took a needle, and was about to pick up a blister for her.
"It hurts! Ah Hua, what are you doing?" Gu Yutang was brought back to reality by the pain in his feet, and when he lowered his head, he saw that Ah Hua was picking up blisters for himself.
"Ah Hua, stop it! Are you trying to hurt me? As he was talking, Gu Yutang wanted to stretch back his feet, but was pulled by Ah Hua.
"Miss, long pain is better than short pain. I'll pick it up for you tonight, I'll be on the medicine, and I'll be fine in two days. If you don't help Miss pick it out tonight, Miss will go out for a few more days, I'm afraid that this blister will be bigger, and when the time comes, Miss will cry and cry for her mother. Ah Hua said on his lips, but his hands were not idle for a moment, and he picked out seven or eight blisters on Gu Yutang's feet in one go, and streams of pus and blood flowed out of the blisters.
Gu Yutang is not so afraid of blood anymore, she is already a person who has died once, and the feeling of death is a hundred times more painful than the current pain. So she gritted her teeth this time, didn't shout half a word, and let Ah Hua help her bandage her wounds.
Ah Hua felt a little strange this time, the third girl actually held back the pain this time and didn't shout half a word. In her impression, in the past, the third girl had a small disaster, that is, she had to shout for a long time when her hands were broken, why was it so abnormal today?
Although she felt a little abnormal, she didn't dare to ask, so she had to think that Gu Yutang had grown up and become mature, and she didn't easily cry out for pain. But it is still necessary for her to tell her lady about this matter, the third girl is not so abnormal, it is not necessarily a good thing?
After Ah Hua bandaged Gu Yutang, he took the mahogany food box that Feng Lao'an had given to Gu Yutang before, took out a few pieces of sesame candy from it, and stuffed them into Gu Yutang's mouth, "In front of the old lady, the girl didn't dare to eat more, and now that the old lady is not with us, the girl shouldn't hurry up and eat a few more pieces, or she won't have a chance to eat." ”
Gu Yutang chewed the sesame candy that Ah Huasai gave her in her mouth, and turned her head to look at the West Chamber, looking at the crowds in the West Chamber, but no one came out.
In the West Chamber, Jiang Zhiming had already changed into the green cloth clothes he wore during the day, and wore a bedgown with a moonlight white embroidered auspicious pattern, bowed his head and wrote on the bookcase, and a person dressed as a guard next to him walked around the room, "Your Royal Highness, I got up this morning and heard from the people who were waiting in the gatehouse that Mrs. ordered someone to set a car and go to Lijiang early in the morning, and brought four or five carts of things, which looked like a dowry." Madame has already gone to Lijiang to be hired, what should we do?"
"Ah Liang, what are you panicking about? It's not you who marrying a wife, why are you more panicked than me?" Jiang Zhiming put down the pen in his hand, picked up a seal beside him, and stamped it on the piece of paper where Jiang Zhiming wrote just now.
"It is precisely because His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is marrying a wife that Ah Liang is so anxious! I heard that the little county lord of Muwangfu has always been rude and willful, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he is famous for being stubborn in Lijiang. If His Royal Highness the Prince marries her back, I'm afraid that the house will be lively. Ah Liang took the piece of paper on which Jiang Zhiming was writing and sighed.
"Ah Liang, don't worry! My grandmother said that she would decide my marriage personally, and as long as I didn't like it, she would never force it on me. Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zhiming said again: "You go to my box, take out a knife of Chengxin paper, and I will frame this lettering." ”
"When is it, His Royal Highness is still in the mood to frame the words? You know, the old lady and Mrs. have not had a good relationship with Mrs. over the years, if it weren't for the Hou Ye Zhou Xuan among the two, I'm afraid that Mrs. would have quarreled with the old lady in the mansion a long time ago. Ah Liang rummaged left and right from Jiang Zhiming's box, and finally found the knife clear heart paper.
Chengxin paper is a priceless thing, with a knife is one less knife, only his young master is willing to use such a precious thing to frame the words.
"I was brought up by my grandmother, and I can't spare anyone who bullies my grandmother, including Madame." Jiang Zhiming said, a murderous aura suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and he was still concentrating on framing his own words, without other interference.
Dingwu Hou Jiang family is a generation of meritorious families in Yunnan, Dingwu Hou old marquis Jiang is actually the last martial arts of the previous dynasty, the current Dingwu Hou Jiang Haiyang is Jiang Zhiming's father, but also the only one who has ever appeared in the current dynasty A martial arts champion, because it is too eye-catching in the capital, the old marquis of Dingwu has scruples, so the family moved to Yunnan.
Jiang Haiyang's biological mother Feng is the sister of Feng Lao'anren in the second room of the Gu family, and the Zhaotong Feng family is also a veteran family in Yunnan that has gone through hundreds of years, and it is full of Shilin, and the ancestors have produced three Jinshi, two of whom have entered the cabinet. It's just that after a long time, no matter how powerful the family is, there will be a day of decline, and the Feng family and the Jiang family Gu family married to save the defeat, but it was in vain.
Jiang Haiyang's wife, Jiang Zhiming's biological mother, Tao, is the second daughter of Tao Qian, the governor of Yunnan.
"Since the day the master married Aunt Feng, the lady and the old lady have been on the same page, and after all these years, the two have no tendency to reconcile, but have intensified, making it difficult for the master and the young master to be caught in the middle." Ah Liang pressed the rice paper for Jiang Zhiming, and Jiang Zhiming was smearing paste on the rice paper.
"These are not things you should be concerned about, you just honestly frame me, where is so much gossip? Do you want to beg again?" Jiang Zhiming ignored Ah Liang and continued to paste the rice paper.
In the Hanbi Courtyard, the back room was also brightly lit, and the Feng and Lin families dismissed the girls who were waiting in the house, sat on the kang and talked considerately.
"Old sister, I heard that your niece, Lin San of the Lin family in Dongchang Mansion, has not yet married, and is still waiting for the boudoir? I wonder if it's true?" Feng handed a piece of peanut candy to Lin's hand, and then continued.
"My third nephew, the third son of his uncle's family is almost thirty years old, and he has not yet married, he has a high spirit, and no one looks down on him. Your Zhengding Lin family and the Lin family of Xi'an Dongchang Mansion are brothers of the same mother, or the old sister will help me go and talk to the Hou Ye, let my third nephew marry your third niece, my third nephew is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and your third niece is also a talented woman with a famous party, a talented son with a beautiful woman, what do you think?" Feng Shi looked at Lin, although he didn't know what Lin meant, she should be able to help when he came to this favor.
What an old fox! Lin also thought that Feng was going to say something considerate to her, but it turned out that he wanted her to go to the Dongchang Marquis Mansion to talk to Xiang, but she couldn't help with this favor!
Will anyone come to the door to say goodbye? I'm afraid that there is some dark disease on my body, and no one dares to come to the door to say goodbye, right?
This kind of thankless work, she doesn't do.
