Chapter 116: Liang's Illness (2)
After Qin's mother left, Liang slept on the pillow for a long time, but she had already slept all night, and she had long lost her sleepiness, so she only thought about getting off the soft couch to move on the ground.
But before Liang's feet touched the ground, he was stopped by Xinghuang, and said in a loud voice: "County Lord, it rained last night, and it was a little cold outside, so the County Lord should not stay, and then lie down!" ”
"I've been lying down all night, and I'm no longer sleepy, how do you want me to lie down? Isn't it because I want to lie down on top of this? Ignoring Xinghuang's objection, Liang himself put on his shoes and got off the soft couch, but his body had no strength, and he couldn't walk a few steps, so he softened down again and leaned on the bamboo mat opposite the soft couch.
After all, the Liang family is the master, and Xinghuang has no choice but to let her lean on the bamboo mat. Seeing that Liang picked up the teapot on the high table next to him, and was about to pour tea, Xinghuang was shocked to realize that she hadn't changed the tea this morning, and after taking the teapot handed over by Liang, Xinghuang said: "County Lord, yesterday Qin's mother instructed the slave maid to make the big red robe sent by the eldest wife of the Lin family in Fujian, and now there are still some in the pantry, so I will make it for you and bring it." ”
Hearing that it was sent by the Fujian Lin family, the Liang family thought that the Fujian Lin family should have sent it over to please her for the marriage of their girl and Gu Yucheng. But they didn't know that the Liang family was from Jinling, and they were used to drinking West Lake Longjing, so they really didn't like the taste of rock tea.
But since someone else has the heart to send it, she can't live up to someone else's wishes, so she will keep it! It's just that he can't drink it, so he ordered Xinghuang: "Put away those big red robes!" Put on the West Lake Longjing that I am accustomed to, these big red robes are changed to Ming'er, you ask someone to send them to Chengjiang to the master, the master likes to drink this. ”
Xinghuang was glad that his legs and feet were unhappy, if his legs and feet were fast, he had already soaked the big red robe, wouldn't it make Liang's unhappy? She knew that what the Liang family used to drink was West Lake Longjing, and the big red robe was only drunk by their master Gu Li.
After Xinghuang walked out of the door, she instructed the maid who was cleaning up outside the house to watch the door of the house, and no one was allowed to go in to disturb the Liang family. Liang slept on the bamboo mat pillow behind him and fell asleep again, but he slept a little lightly, and she could vaguely hear the sound of people talking outside.
Outside the house, there are two little maids who are cleaning up and resting under the porch, and you are talking about what has happened in this house in the past few days.
"Chu Xia, do you know that something big has happened in this mansion these days? Two days ago, the three girls who came from the big long house and the prince of the Dingwu Hou Mansion disappeared in the lotus pond at the back of our mansion. A young little maid with a purple velvet flower and a cyan armor dressed in an ordinary subordinate dress put down the broom in her hand and said to the little maid who was fanning herself.
"Xiao Han, aren't you serving in Feng Lao'an's courtyard? How do you know this? Besides, the lotus pond in our house is a big place, and it can lose people, I don't believe it. You're talking nonsense! The little maid with the fan didn't believe in Chu Xia's words, and thought that she must be idle, and talked about the master's affairs.
"What am I lying to you for? My third aunt's cousin was serving in Feng Lao'an's courtyard, and I heard the news that the third girl in the long room and the little prince of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion were missing. Otherwise, what do you think the house was lit up last night? I really believe Qin's mother's words, and she is a thief in the house. ”
Xiao Han said, looking at Chu Xia sitting next to him with an unbelievable look, and said again, "If you don't want to believe it, forget it, with the brains of people like you, what can you think clearly?" What Mother Qin said, does it have to be true?"
"Shhhh We are the maids who are serving in the Qiuyue Courtyard, and the housekeeper's mother is Qin's mother, if someone accidentally hears it and sues her, I am afraid that you and I will not only be unable to keep this errand, but may also be kicked out of the house. Xiao Han put down the fan in his hand and covered his mouth.
"The third girl of the long house and the little prince of the Dingwu Marquis Mansion, I heard that they were found and have returned to their respective houses. It's just that after all, this news came from other hospitals, and I don't know if it's true or not! But I know that talking about the master behind my back will not end well! ”
"We are the maids who serve in the second room of the Gu family, and we are not the maids who serve in their long room! And this master in our courtyard is only a useless paper tiger, and when I saw her talking back to Mrs. Lin in Mrs. Lin's house that day, I thought she was a great character. Now, don't you see you're sick? Chu Xia said, and pointed to the room where Liang was.
But how would she know that her words had already entered Liang's ears, and Liang was in the house listening to what they said outside the house.
"Xiao Han, don't talk nonsense, it's not the masters who arrange it. The second wife of the Gu family we are serving is the pearl of the palm of King Liang of Jinling and his wife, who is the county lord and a relative of the emperor. With your arrangement, it's not too much to send you to the factory! Xiao Han picked up the fan, feeling that Chu Xia was gossiping too much, and if he stayed with her for a long time, something might happen. Just get ready to go!
Xiao Han didn't go far, but he was grabbed by Chu Xia, and pleaded, "Good sister, the work under this corridor is not finished yet!" Today is the day my mother comes to see me, I will change classes with you, tomorrow I will help you clean the porch, let me go first! ”
"I had the opportunity to see my parents once a month, but I didn't see them when I was late. Good sister, help me! As soon as Chu Xia's words fell, he handed the broom to Xiao Han, and then left in a hurry.
"This silly girl! If these gossips are heard by the masters, you will be able to bear it, and where will you go to see your parents? Although Xiao Han said this, she unconsciously helped Chu Xia to do the work she hadn't finished yet.
While humming the famous tune in Pengpu Township, he helped sweep the porch in the summer.
After listening to the chatter of the two little maids for most of the day, Liang learned that Gu Yutang and Jiang Zhiming had disappeared overnight, and she didn't know it, and no one came to tell her? If such a big thing happened, even if she was sick, the Lin family or Feng Lao'an should have someone to report to her, so what was the matter with keeping her in the dark?
After Xinghuang came back from the pantry, she had a smile on her face. Because the grandmother who was waiting in the pantry today made her favorite lotus paste cake, Xinghuang ate in the pantry for a long time before she was willing to come out.
Because Liang didn't like the taste of durian, Liang was sick again. Xinghuang walked outside the house for a long time, and only after the smell dissipated a little more did she enter Liang's house.
"County Lord Niangniang, Mrs. Zhang from the pantry today made your favorite cherry fried and rose cake, do you want to eat a few pieces of tea?" Xinghuang walked in with a freshly soaked West Lake Longjing, a plate of cherries fried, and a plate of rose cakes, without noticing a slight change in Liang's expression.
"Xinghuang, you put things down, I have something to ask you! You need to answer honestly, or I'll send you to the pulp washing room!" Liang's words were extremely harsh, and he immediately scared Xinghuang like a great enemy, hurriedly put down the tray in his hand, and stood aside waiting for Liang's questioning.
"Did the third girl and the Jiang family go missing next to the lotus pond last night, and they were only found this morning?" Liang spoke a little anxiously, and his throat ached for a while, and it took half a cup of tea to ease up.
The Liang family asked so urgently, and Qin's mother told them not to tell the Lin family about it, but they were afraid that they would not be able to hide it. She thought about it for a long time, and then she understood a truth, that is, no matter how much Qin's mother is favored by the Liang family, she is just a slave who serves people; And Liang is the master.
Mother Qin has been pressing on her head for so many years, she has long wanted to pull her off the horse, but unfortunately she didn't have this opportunity, so she simply put her heart down this time. Xinghuang desperately squeezed out a few tears from her eyes and sprinkled them on Liang's hands, "County Lord Niangniang, this matter was originally told to you by Mother Qin. But I know that paper can't hold the fire, and the mother will know sooner or later. ”
"I picked up the key points, I don't want to hear any nonsense on the side!" Even if the Liang family was seriously ill, he still had a bit of majesty when he came out with the shelf of the county lord's mother, and he was shocked at once.
