Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Letter from Home
"Miss, are you alright?" Bai Ying shouted Ai Ai, she had just accompanied Shen Yue'e down, and she didn't dare to come in and make trouble, so she had been working outside the house in a hurry, and she also blocked the maids and women who came down to check.
She also came into the house for a while, but Sanniang didn't seem to see her, which made her a little worried. Sanniang was called back to her senses by her and nodded at her.
"Let's go back, and ask the doctor to take a look at Yue'e's injury, so as not to leave a scar." After a pause, Sanniang said again: "It's best to hide it from your grandmother." β
"Miss Wei, she ......" Mama Tang returned to the Wei Mansion because of something in the house before entering the Taibai Building, and she has not come back yet, now Wei Yunying is frightened, and Mama Tang is not there, should I send Miss Wei back first?
"This son will send my cousin back, and by the way, I will ask my cousin for guilt." I don't know when, Xuanyun walked over and said with a smile.
Sanniang raised her head and met his eyes that seemed to be lost in a layer of light mist, although Xuanyun did not say that she wanted to blame her for what happened just now, but after what happened just now, she still didn't think that this prince was a person who pitied Xiangxiang and cherished jade and had a good temper.
Wei Yunying had gradually calmed down, and he didn't say anything when he heard Xuanyun's words. Sanniang lowered her head and asked her softly, she only nodded.
Sanniang instructed Bai Ying to go out to arrange the carriage, patted Wei Yunying on the back, let her go, and then walked to Xuanyun and blessed her.
"Shizi, Sanniang just got into trouble because she was worried about her cousin, and her reckless behavior caused a big disaster, Sanniang ......"
Xuan Yun chuckled and interrupted Sanniang's words, tilted his head and said, "This Shizi didn't blame you, in the final analysis, I still involved you in this matter, didn't I ask you to wrap up all the Taibai Mansions?" The last sentence was a slanted glance at what Su Minzhi said.
Su Minzhi smiled apologetically: "You didn't tell me that you were here to be bait, and I want to come out with Chengzhi." Thinking that the female and male guests were separated, they only chartered the second floor. β
Xuanyun glared at Su Min and then ignored it. looked at Shen Yue, who was sitting on the side and bowing her head silently.
"Miss Shen's injury doesn't have to worry, wait a while, this prince will send someone to send some good ointment to the house. There will be no scars."
His voice was low and soft, always as if he was affectionate, but Shen Yue'e trembled when she heard it.
Sanniang didn't dare to have anything to do with this prince anymore, where did she dare to ask for his medicine? Immediately said: "Imperial Physician Jiang will go to the mansion tomorrow to see my grandmother, and Shen Yue's injured Sanniang will beg Imperial Physician Jiang to leave some medicine at that time, and the prince does not have to worry about it." β
Xuanyun didn't insist.
After a while, Bai Ying turned around and said that the maid and the maid had been arranged, and the carriage could go.
Sanniang asked Bai Ying to help Shen Yue. Saying goodbye to a few people, he went downstairs.
On the carriage, Sanniang Arrow Shen Yue'e's original pale face had gradually regained its blood color, so she asked Bai Ying to wait for her to change the blood-stained clothes. Fix your hair again. Make up for it.
"Today's events must have made you understand that some people are not a good match, and they forget that you will do it for themselves in the future." Sanniang leaned against the wall of the car. Somewhat tired and authentic.
Shen Yue'e paused, and suddenly threw herself into Sanniang's arms and cried, her crying was loud and unscrupulous, like a child who was wronged and was about to spill.
Sanniang's body stiffened, but she raised her hand but didn't push Shen Yue'e away in the end, only stiffened her body and let her lean on. Nor do they speak.
Shen Yue'e cried all the way, seeing that this was about to reach the Zhao Mansion. He sat up straight, shut his voice, and wiped away his tears. Bai Ying inevitably had to help her put on makeup again.
Sanniang thought about hiding today's incident, but in the afternoon, the news of Prince Li's assassination in Taibai Mansion spread loudly, and Shen Yue'e injured her neck, so there was no way to hide her summer clothes.
Therefore, Sanniang could only discuss with Mama Zeng and only hide the Liu family first. When I saw Liu, I only said that there was a prickly heat on my neck, and I was applying the medicine given by Imperial Doctor Jiang.
It's just that Sanniang is a little strange, about the news of the assassination of the prince Taibailou, it is rumored outside that the person who committed the assassination was because he had a conflict with the son of the world for a woman who sold herself to bury her father, because she didn't know the identity of the son and was angry that the beauty threw herself into the arms of others, so she found Taibaitou and wanted to avenge the beauty. In the end, the prince was safe and sound, but in the fight, one of the prince's concubines was spilled on the spot.
Subsequently, there are people in the world who regret their lives, those who envy the blessings of the world, and those who are not ashamed of the lustful nature of the world. Above the court, there was a voice of impeachment of the prince and the condemnation of Dai Xiao's daughter.
The prince's response was to cry to the emperor with an excerpt, arguing that he only saw that the woman was pitiful and wanted to help her, and wanted to give her some silver and then help her find an errand to make ends meet, and there was no intention of being obscene. But this statement was unanimously "booed" from the whole court, and even the emperor shook his head and said to the inner servant after reading the excerpt: I look at a very clever person on weekdays, why is this justification so outrageous? Sending his father far away!
Xuanyun sighed helplessly, this time he finally seized the opportunity to tell the truth but no one believed it, it seems that it is still a lie!
Of course, that's all for later.
That night, when Sanniang and Wang Jing returned to the other courtyard, Mama Zhang handed over a letter.
"This is a letter from the house this morning."
Wang Jing took the letter and read it, then handed it to Sanniang and said, "Sister, take a look, it was written by the staff sent by the eldest uncle." β
Sanniang took the letter and roughly skimmed it.
"My father would come back before the Midyear Festival to pay homage to my ancestors, just in time for my grandmother's birthday on July 20." Wang Jing said happily.
Although Wang Dong paid little attention to him, he was a father and son after all. The last time I saw my father was when Zhao died, but Wang Dong only stayed at home for a few days before rushing back to work.
Sanniang had only seen this so-called father from a distance last time, and Wang Dong was no different from a stranger to her, so she didn't feel anything happy after reading the letter, but frowned because the Liu family would also come back this time.
Today's court officials do not take a break once every five days, and when they encounter the great loss of their parents, the civil officials are worried for three years, and the military attachΓ©s retire for 100 days. For the funeral of a close relative, the holiday varies from 30 days, 20 days, 15 days or 7 days; For the funeral of a distant relative, the holiday varies from 5 days, 3 days or 1 day. In addition to the winter solstice, Spring Festival, and winter food holidays every year, there are 30 days of family leave every three years. Wang Dong came back this time, it was a family leave once every three years, and he would stay at home for 30 days.
"Sister, my uncle said in his letter that my grandfather and we had better hurry back at the beginning of July. Now that my grandmother's condition has stabilized, but Dr. Jiang's acupuncture will have to be pricked a few more times, should we wait for my grandmother to get better before we leave? Wang Dong thought of Liu's illness, and the happy energy just now cooled down a little. If I leave this time, I don't know when I will see my grandmother next time.
"We're going back with my grandfather this time, so we have to tell my grandfather about this matter, and my grandfather will decide."
After Sanniang finished talking to Wang Jing with a smile, she turned her head and asked Mama Zhang: "Have you seen this letter grandfather?" "When Mama Zhang handed the letter to Wang Jing just now, it had already been unsealed.
"When the slave received the letter, she sent someone to send it to the old lady, and the old lady brought it back after reading it." Mama Zhang said respectfully.
"Did grandfather mention when he was going to go back?" Sanniang groaned.
"This ......" Mama Zhang remembered the reaction of the old lady Wang when she came back, and hesitated and didn't know what to say.
When Sanniang saw Mama Zhang's expression, she knew that Mrs. Wang must be in Yanzhou, and she refused to go back like this. Otherwise, he hadn't succeeded in the nine-colored bird yet, and the old lady Wang wanted to continue to spend time with the empty master.
Sanniang also had a headache suddenly.
When the time comes, if the old lady Wang is stubborn and refuses to leave, she will not be able to ask someone to tie him up and put him in the carriage.
But July 15 is the Zhongyuan Festival, and July 20 is still Sun's 50th birthday, if she and Wang Jing miss the ancestor worship of the Zhongyuan Festival, it will be a big mistake, and the people in the family will not blame Mrs. Wang, but she and Wang Jing will definitely become scapegoats.
This night, Sanniang lay on the bed, as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw the blood mist in the sky, and saw Chen Xiaomei's last gentle and satisfied smile suddenly became hideous and resentful. But in the dead of night, when the moon was as cold as water, the silence and coolness made Sanniang unable to control herself from thinking about it.
Hearing a slight sound on the couch in the outhouse, Sanniang called softly: "Bai Ying? β
Almost immediately, Sanniang heard a rustling sound, and after a while, there was the sound of footsteps coming in from outside.
"Miss. But for tea? β
Bai Ying entered the room and was about to light the candle on the table but Sanniang stopped it.
"You can't sleep?" Sanniang said.
Bai Ying walked to Sanniang's bed and said, "The slave wants to sleep, but as soon as she closes her eyes, she remembers today's events." If the young lady can't sleep, can the slave and maid chat with the young lady? β
Sanniang leaned back into the bed, leaving a gap for Bai Ying. Bai Ying refused to go up, so she only moved her futon and spread it on the footrest in front of the bed, and lay down on her side.
Sanniang remembered that the Liu family would be back in a few days, so she asked Bai Ying to tell her about some of the things that happened in Sanfang outside before she came to Hefeng Courtyard.
Sanniang listened to Bai Ying while letting her mind fly to drive those phantoms out of her mind.
This trick is still useful, although Sanniang only felt sleepy when the sky revealed the white belly of the fish, but the prospect of her and Wang Jing in the Wang family still made her heart gradually calm down.
What happened can't be changed, but she can still plan for the future.
Early the next morning, Sanniang did not get up early as usual, but slept until the hour.
"The slave maid has just sent someone to the Zhao Mansion to inform the old lady, saying that the old man is back today, so you will not come until later." Bai Ying was busy waiting for Sanniang to wash up, and said.
"Grandfather?"
"Yes, Miss, the old man went back to the other courtyard early this morning." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
