Chapter 135: One Grace for One Secret
Regarding the gift to Mama Li, Bai Heran chose to hide it from the old lady, and Mo Yu could understand it if he thought about it a little, but Yingchun never understood.
But if she doesn't understand, she won't ask Bai Tsuru what is going on. No matter who she was before, she has followed the second miss now, so there should be no suspicion, let alone betrayal, even if the second miss kills people and sets fires, she must be the one who keeps the wind sentry. Bai Heran didn't explain much, but only instructed the two of them: "Inquire about Mama Li's nephew again, the more detailed the better, including the girl who once said she was married, or which girl the nephew fell in love with, know a little more." Gifts can't be given in vain, they have to be given for life
It's good that the big thing is solved. "Bribing Mama Li behind the old lady's back, Bai Heran was also forced to do it. The old lady treats her well, if it weren't for the last resort, she wouldn't have made such a decision. But the words that the old lady once said have been circling in her mind, how many children of the Bai family will be killed, this
If things don't get clear, her heart never lands. It's not the first time to search for the memory of the original owner, but it's a pity that there is a blank in the memory of these things, since the original owner's memory, the Bai family is almost the current pattern, and there are only a few concubines and aunts who came to the house and the children who gave birth to them, except for not
Except for Bai Yanyu, the third young lady who has met, there should be nothing else. But the old lady will not be untargeted, and will not speak in vain. Since she can say that, there must be a reason for her to say that. Since she can't find out what is going on from the old lady, she can only make this decision, starting from Mama Li's side, maybe under the small favor, Mama Li can give a few
Let's be honest.
Mama Li's nephew also lives in Shangdu, which is located in the north and is relatively poor. Fortunately, Mama Li has monthly silver to help, and she also bought a small courtyard with two rooms before, although she is poor, she will not starve. The outside affairs were silently inquired about, and a day later he came back with detailed news: "The person's name is Li Zhu, Chinese New Year's Eve is nine-nine years old, his left leg is missing the lower half, and he has to rely on crutches to walk. Li Zhuren is very practical, not lazy, although the yard he lives in is very small, and he himself is incapacitated, but he still planted a small garden at the door, and the vegetables produced are enough for him to eat, and other expenses have to rely on Mama Li's side to help. It's just that Mama Li's ability is limited, and the most she can give every month is one or two halves, and he is reluctant to spend it, most of it is saved, hoping to ask for a daughter-in-law to give to Li
After staying at home. It's a pity that his legs and feet are really inflexible, and his wish to please his daughter-in-law has never been fulfilled. ”
Yingchun was quick to speak, and interjected and asked: "What about the girl who said you kissed before?" Are there any contacts now? Mo Yu shook her head, "That girl got married a few years ago, but there is a widow in her thirties who lives next door to Li Zhu, and the two usually have a lot of contacts, and that widow is also a real person, and she can often help Li Zhu take care of the vegetable garden, and Li Zhu will also give some of the vegetables he grows to the widow." The slave and maid observed for a day, and the widow looked good, and she was also affectionate and righteous to Li Zhu, but Li Zhu seemed to deliberately avoid it. There was a rumor among the neighbors that the widow had killed her husband because it was bad luck. But the slave maid felt that Li Zhu avoided her not because of this, but because of ten
His legs and feet are inconvenient, and he doesn't have much savings, so he is afraid of dragging others down. When Bai Heran heard this, he already had a general understanding of Li Zhu's situation. So he instructed Yingchun: "You can do the rest of the work, take a hundred taels of silver for Li Zhu, take a golden hairpin, a pair of gold bracelets, and pick two pieces of cloth suitable for the neighbor's widow, and then go to the cloth village to buy."
Some materials that Li Zhu can use, bring these things with him, and send them to Li Zhu. After saying this, he thought about it again, and added: "Maybe it's not enough, you find another rice village, leave silver taels, and let the rice village send Li Zhu enough food for the two of them to eat every month, and there must be rice and noodles." In addition, contact a pig killer and sell meat, and send meat to Li Zhu every three days, refined meat, fat, and bones
, all of which must be there. Since this matter is managed, it will be managed to the end, and these things will be sent for a long time in the future, so as to ensure Li Zhu's life. ”
Finally, he reminded emphatically: "It can be revealed that we sent it, but we must explain that this matter is confidential, tell that Li Zhu, and you can't say it to anyone." ”
Yingchun was puzzled, "In this case, wouldn't Mama Li know that we did it?" ”
She smiled and shook her head: "I can't say it to anyone, but he will definitely say it to his aunt." Wait, in a few days, Mama Li will come to the door. ”
Yingchun went to do things according to her words, Bai Heran asked Mo Yu to close the door, and then took the initiative to ask her: "Do you say that it is possible, the Bai family once had a child, but Bai Xingyan secretly killed him?" ”
Mo Yu frowned and thought for a while, and said, "If Miss's guess is right, then the slave maid thinks that the dead child is ...... out of ten."
She paused when she said this, but Bai Heran took over the words: "Ten have* was born by my mother, Chun Yulan. Mo Yu nodded, "That's what the slave means." After all, if it was given birth to another aunt, it would be impossible for there to be no rumors in the house for so many years, but only the eldest lady ...... Not right either. When she said this, she immediately denied her thoughts, "If it's the eldest lady, then it shouldn't be, at least Aunt Hong."
The door is early, if the eldest lady has been pregnant with other children besides the young lady, it is impossible for Aunt Hong not to know. Unless......" she thought of another possibility, "unless the eldest lady was pregnant only once, that is, when she gave birth to a young lady, but she gave birth to more than one child." ”
Hearing this, Bai Heran took a deep breath, and his face was covered with a layer of haze. Mo Yu is indeed a careful maid, and he thinks of being with her. As Mo Yu said, if the old lady said that the incident was really related to Chun Yulan, then if Chun Yulan was pregnant twice, it should not only be the Hong family, but many people in the house would know about it, and it would be impossible to hide it
Sea for so many years.
Unless, as Mo Yu said, Chun Yulan was only pregnant once, but she gave birth to twins.
It's a pity that she was the only one who survived in the end, and inevitably, all the people involved in this incident back then, including midwives and maids, have been executed, and it is impossible to leak the secret again.
Irritation rose in her heart, if it was a twin, would the one who was killed be a sister or a brother? "Silence." She spoke softly, "The reason why I hid it from my grandmother is that I want to find out about this matter. Grandmother must have known, but if she doesn't say it, I can understand it. No matter how Bai Xingyan is, he is also her son, and she has to protect it. But my heart is sad that a woman gave birth once
The child is equivalent to walking through the ghost gate, not to mention the hard work of conceiving in October. Every child is the flesh of a mother's heart, and the pain of ripping out the flesh of my heart raw, how can I let my mother suffer in vain? ”
Mama Li came to Yinxia Courtyard early one morning two days later, and it was raining lightly outside, and she was carrying a food box in her hand and covering it with her own shirt, for fear of rain.
Yingchun and Moyu welcomed people in, and then retreated tacitly.
Mama Li put the food box on the table and told Bai Heran: "The old lady said, it's raining today, so don't go over to say goodbye." This is a freshly baked meatloaf from the morning, and the old slave brought it over for the second lady as breakfast. ”
With that, she took a step back and knelt down in front of Hakuzuru. "The old slave thanked the second lady for her great kindness, and in the next life, you will repay the second lady's great kindness if you are a cow or a horse." Mama Li was in tears, her nephew's matter had troubled her for nearly ten years, and she thought that even the old lady could do nothing but do it, but she didn't expect that the second lady would not only do it quietly, but also do it
That's pretty.
Bai Heran smiled and helped Mama Li up, "Mama will see the outside world like this, I just do what I can, I believe that if my grandmother has the ability to do such a thing, she will definitely help Mama." It's just that I'm helpless, and my grandmother herself is also bitter. Mama Li sighed, "Don't hide it from the second lady, if you want to say that the eldest lady was there in the past, the old lady's life was very good." But at that time, the old slave's nephew's leg was not broken, and his life was passable, so he couldn't talk about it. Later, when the second lady entered the door, everything changed, in the hands of the old lady
There is not much silver that can be used by the head, so how can the old slave take it? ”
She wiped her tears as she spoke, "The old slave never dreamed that the second lady would relieve Li Zhu's child without making a sound, I ...... I was grateful and uncomfortable at the same time. No merit is not rewarded, the second lady gave such a great favor to the old slave, how can the old slave repay it? Bai Heran shook his head, "I'm not trying to repay it, Mama doesn't have to take it to heart." This matter was originally brought up by them in the Spring Festival, because the emperor rewarded them with a lot of good things a few days ago, and I gave them some girl's gadgets, and also took a lot of supplements for my grandmother, and Yingchun mentioned it
Give some to Mama. I thought that the jewelry and fabrics on my side were all used by young girls, and it was really not suitable to give them to Mama, so it was better to help Li Zhu and reduce the burden on Mama in the future. Mama Li hurriedly said: "Where is this to reduce the burden, this is no burden at all." The pillar has already proposed to the little widow, and we don't mind if she dies a man, as long as we can live a good life with the pillar and have a child in the future, it is better than anything else. The pillar said that before he got married
Be sure to come over and kowtow to the second lady and thank him for his great benefactor. ”
Bai Heran didn't refuse, "Okay, you don't need him to make a special trip, on the day he gets married, I'll go and be an officiant for him!" ”
"This ...... It's true? Mama Li was overjoyed, "The second lady is going to be the officiant of the pillar?" ”
She nodded, "Do you think it's appropriate?" "It's a good fit, it's a good fit. This is the big face of our Li family, if the second lady can be present, then no one will dare to bully Zhu Zi and his daughter-in-law in the future, and their little life will definitely be more and more prosperous. When Mama Li said this, she struggled to kneel down again, kowtowing and saying, "Two."
Miss is very gracious, the old slave has nothing to repay, no matter what happens in the future, as long as the second lady says a word, the old slave will not hesitate to go to the soup! Bai Heran didn't mention the child, the two said a few more words, she personally sent Mama Li out of the door, and then instructed Yingchun: "Send Mama Li with an umbrella." At the same time, he quietly glanced over, and Yingchun immediately understood......
