Chapter 41: Escape from the Heat
Aunt Hai's stick injury is calculated as time, it's almost time to be fine, it seems that the mother and daughter can't bear the loneliness, and they want to take this opportunity to come out and jump.
Not long after Ruyi came back, he said indignantly: "Aunt Hai will go too." ”
Aunt Hai provoked Yanwangfu, just ate a board and was grounded for dozens of days, and was let go so easily, even Ruyi felt that the punishment was too light.
"Sure enough." Yan Qingge said calmly: "Ruyi, this time we go to Zhuangzi, we have to be careful, I'm afraid that Aunt Hai will be imprisoned for this period of time, and there will be resentment in my heart." If there is any situation, you tell me as soon as possible. ”
"Yes!" Ruyi replied.
Yan Songnian said that he would leave, and the next day when the heat came, he took the whole family to Yan's Zhuangzi.
More than 50 of the Yan family's domestic slaves served in the capital, and the rest stayed in the village to farm and work, and the land that the domestic slaves could not plant was rented to tenant farmers on the outskirts of Beijing.
Usually the house slaves on the Zhuangzi have to serve the fields every day, and they must not work idle, but now the old man's family suddenly came to escape the summer, they are busy with farming, but also have to clean up the house, allocate people to serve, and are in a hurry, and the upcoming Yan old man's family is really not welcome.
Yan Shuyu and Aunt Hai were sitting in a car, and as soon as the convoy stopped, she hurriedly jumped down, helped Aunt Hai get out of the car, and chirped: "Mother, we are here!" ”
Aunt Hai was just spanked, and her face was still the same as before, and her posture was undamaged. In addition, after two months of recuperation, there is a little more meat on my body, and I look a little curvaceous.
Especially today, she is wearing a waist-pinching wide-sleeved top, and a skirt that exposes half of the delicate upper, her hair and makeup are also carefully cleaned up, and her eyes look straight at the car Yan Songnian is sitting in like a hook, and others will know what she is thinking about.
After Yan Songnian got out of the car, he looked at Aunt Hai's affectionate eyes, looking at her dress, her throat fluttered, obviously remembering Aunt Hai's goodness, and handed her a smile, Aunt Hai's eyes suddenly flashed proudly.
Yan Qingge didn't see this scene, went to Zhuangzi by herself, and asked someone to lead her to the room.
The Yan family's Zhuangzi is full of village flavor, it was not for the masters to live, the room is low, the yard is narrow, what kind of heat can you escape? On the contrary, it is hotter than Kyori.
Ruyi watched outside as his subordinates moved Yan Qingge's luggage over, and cleaned up the house for a while. Yan Qingge moved a stool and sat in the shade under the tree to embroider flowers and enjoy the shade.
After a while, Ruyi went out to fetch water, ready to come back and scrub the room again, and when she returned, she was followed by a peasant woman who had become acquainted with her body.
The peasant woman was probably in her forties, and her sideburns were already graying. When he saw Yan Qingge, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Slave Yu Zhao, I've seen the eldest lady!" ”
Yan Qingge heard this peasant woman report that she was called Yu Zhao, thought about it, and asked, "What is the relationship between you and Yu Hua'er?" ”
Yu Hua'er was the maid she called Mud, and was later killed by Aunt Hai's mother and daughter, disguised as throwing herself into a well. When Yu Huaer's parents came to claim the body, they cried so miserably, Yan Qingge heard it and asked someone to send twenty taels of silver.
The peasant woman's eyes immediately turned red and she said, "Yes, the slave maid is Yu Hua'er's mother." ”
Her good girl was sent in, and it was only two days before she turned into a cold corpse and was carried out. Even if she was clumsy, she could see that the bruises on Yu Huaer's face were beaten by someone, not soaked in the well. She kept Aunt Hai's hatred of killing her daughter firmly in her heart, and suffered day and night.
Zhishu and Dali were bought by Aunt Hai, it is not a secret in Zhuangzi, after these two people were put back, they occasionally talked about some things about the Yan family in the capital, and Yu Zhao remembered them one by one, including the fact that the relationship between Aunt Hai's mother and daughter and the eldest lady was very bad.
When the Yan family came to Zhuangzi, Yu Zhao immediately found an opportunity to come over and kowtow to Yan Qingge.
Yan Qingge knew what Yu Zhao was thinking, and said lightly: "Get up, I understand what you are asking for, but some people can't move for the time being." Please come back. Ruyi, reward, send-off. ”
Yu Zhao took the reward money and went out uneasily. She also knew that Aunt Hai couldn't move, but listening to the tone of the eldest lady, it seemed that there was still a chance, but she didn't know when to wait.
In the evening, Ruyi suddenly came in and said, "The master stayed at Aunt Hai's place tonight." ”
"Just stay." Yan Qingge didn't take it to heart.
Ruyi picked up the lantern flowers, and suddenly said: "I don't know if the little young master in our Yan Mansion will be born to Aunt Ying or Aunt Liu in the future, no matter which one it is, it is better than Aunt Hai." ”
Yan Qingge laughed at her: "Ruyi's little head always thinks so much all day long. Don't look at Aunt Ying and Aunt Liu listen to me now, being a mother is strong, and it is hard to say if she really gave birth to the little young master of Yanfu. ”
"Doesn't Miss have their deed of sale, what are you afraid of?" Ruyi said.
"What can a deed of sale do. Zhishu and Dali are not domestic slaves, they hold their lives in the hands of Yan Fu, and they dare to betray their masters. Some people are born into a broken household, the more they have nothing, the more they can abuse themselves, and those who do not take their lives seriously are the most vicious. Yan Qingge sighed.
Ruyi was not very happy and said: "I saw Zhishu and Dali today." The two of them look white and fat, better than what they raised in the house. Because he served the master, although he made a mistake and sent him back, others still respected and spoiled them, and they were the second and third masters in this Zhuangzi. ”
"Aunt Hai can still use them, of course she won't make them suffer." Yan Qingge said.
The master and servant gossiped for a while, and then they were ready to go to sleep. There are no candles on the Zhuangzi, the lamp lit is a small oil lamp, the light is weak, and it takes his eyes to see things, so Yan Qingge simply goes to bed early and gets up early.
In the middle of the night, Yan Qingge slept in a daze, and always heard a wave of tossing and turning, as if something was moving in the house.
Ruyi also heard it, and the two of them got up and searched for a long time, but they didn't find anything. The lights went out, and after a while, the rustling sound sounded again, so it wasn't annoying.
Ruyi said distressedly: "Miss, you go to sleep, I will light the lamp and watch, and someone will not have that voice." ”
Yan Qingge shook his head: "Maybe it's just a few rats, what's in the way." To-morrow let the furniture and cages of the house be removed, and the holes will be plugged.
After arguing all night, the master and servant stared at the dark circles under their eyes that had not slept well and got up early.
Ruyi went to ask someone to help lift the furniture out to find the mouse hole, when the yard was busy, Aunt Hai twisted her waist, exaggerated walked in, as soon as she entered the door, she covered her face with a handkerchief, and said, "Yo, what is this." It's smoky. ”
Yan Qingge said coldly: "It's just a few mice, Aunt Hai is staying in her own room, is it itchy and unbearable, do you want to meddle in things?" ”
As the saying goes, dogs are nosy with rats. Aunt Hai heard that Yan Qingge was scolding her, her face turned pale, and she said angrily: "I'm half of your elder, how can you talk to the elders!" Tell you to be quiet here, don't make noise about people sleeping, the master hasn't woken up yet. ”
Yan Qingge actually laughed: "A concubine dares to say that she is an elder." He turned his back and ignored her.
Aunt Hai stared at Yan Qingge hatefully, muttered something in a low voice, and walked away with a hideous face.
In the house where Yan Qingge lived, a few mouse holes were indeed found, and someone used glutinous rice water to adjust the yellow mud to plug the holes, and it didn't take long for them to solidify. The furniture and things were carried back, and the house slave who came to work said, "Okay, the eldest lady won't feel noisy tonight." ”
Yan Qingge gave a reward of silver, thanked them, and then returned to the house.
After eating at noon, Zhishu and Dali walked in, wearing brand new robes, and said: "Miss, the lord is in good spirits today, ask the lady to go out to play on the boat, the soft sedan chair has been prepared, just wait for the lady to pass." ”
Three miles out of Zhuangzi is the Ba River. Boating on the Bahe River is indeed very fun. On this section of the road to the Bahe River, men can ride horses, and women can sit in soft sedan chairs.
Zhishu and Dali used to speak for Aunt Hai in Yan Songnian's ear, and it was not once that Yan Qingge was provoked. The two of them were reprimanded back to Zhuangzi because they stole Yan Qingge's veil, and now they have dog guts, and they dare to come to her to report the news.
Presumably because Yan Songnian forgot the pain of his scars, at first glance he saw these two "loyal servants" who had been used for many years, and he was determined to reuse them. And the pillow wind blown by Aunt Hai last night is estimated to have played a big role.
Yan Qingge sat on the top, let them kneel on the ground and finish the report, and didn't scream for a long time, and after a long time, he said slowly: "What if I don't go?" ”
Zhishu and Dali were worried in their hearts, and continued to kneel, not daring to contradict her. Yan Qingge sneered: "Get out!" They quickly retreated.
Ruyi asked Yan Qingge worriedly: "Miss, the master is here, are we really not going?" ”
"Go!" Yan Qingge stood up: "Don't change your clothes, just go." ”
Fortunately, because in Zhuangzi, Yan Qingge often sees outsiders, so his clothes are very neat, and he doesn't need to change them, so it's quite appropriate to go out like this.
Yan Songnian saw Yan Qingge coming over, with a fatherly face, and asked her with concern: "I heard Zhishu and Dali say that you don't want to go, I'm afraid you are Kuxia, why did you come here again." ”
"Doesn't my father know? There are rats in the house where I live, and yesterday I made a night of trouble, and this morning I asked someone to plug the rat hole, and this is the end of the busyness. Fortunately, my father hasn't left yet. ”
"There are rats? It's no wonder that this is Zhuangzi, it's better to be quiet at home, you can be wronged for a few days first, and we will go back when the weather is cold. Yan Songnian said.
"Yes. Aunt Hai said the same thing in the morning, thinking that I was looking for a mouse hole to disturb her sleep. It's weird, she's not a mouse, how can I block the hole and make a noise to her. Yan Qingge sued with a coquettish expression.
Aunt Hai next to her girly handkerchief, Yan Songnian said twice, didn't say much, asked the person carrying the sedan chair to set off and take them to the river.
