Chapter Ninety-Five: If You Don't See It, You Can See It
Sanniang's answer made Xuan Shao stunned.
Is she not afraid of life and death, or is the newborn calf not afraid of tigers, and she does not understand what kind of danger this incident will put her in? He thought that she would at least ask why he was hunted down by the government, but from yesterday to today, when the official messenger came to the door, she was stunned and didn't mention anything.
Xuan Shao was silent, and Sanniang was also secretly thinking about it in her heart, so she didn't speak, and the room was quiet again.
When Bai Ying came back again, what she saw was that Xuan Shao's eyelids were slightly closed and his face was calm, Sanniang was drinking tea on the table without being surprised, and the picture was surprisingly harmonious.
"How?" Sanniang woke up the little maid who was secretly in a daze, and seeing her like this, she must have guessed that the situation outside was not sinister.
"Oh, the slave waited outside for a while after giving the young lady's words. I heard that the mother-in-law who secretly followed me came back to report that the person in charge of searching the city today came on the order of Futai, and the eldest lord and Lord Futai also have some friendship on weekdays, so after our people went, they were extremely polite, saying that they would immediately send someone to ask them to go to the peak. ”
"Let's set the table." Sanniang thought for a while and said. Anyway, when you're full, you have the strength to say something else.
After Sanniang and Xuan Shao had breakfast, Wang Jing sent someone in to report that those officials had skipped their courtyard and went out to him, Bai Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
However, not long after the meal was removed, someone from outside came in to report that Mrs. Zhizhou had sent a few mothers-in-law to come in to greet the third lady.
Sanniang shook her hand when she heard this: "How many people are there?" ”
"Seven or eight, I said." Bai Ying had anxiety in her eyes: "Miss, do you want to send someone to send it away?" ”
Sanniang shook her head: "Let me think about it." ”
It seems that this search is imperative, but they saw that there was only one young master and young lady of the Wang family left in this courtyard, and it was inconvenient for the official to come in directly, so they sent a few mothers-in-law in. Presumably, the house was surrounded by people at this time. If she says no. Presumably, the next time it will be the official lady herself.
If she dares to do this, her reputation will be ruined here in the future. Sanniang smiled bitterly.
Xuan Shao didn't say a word.
"Sister Bai Ying, those mothers-in-law outside have already come in and are coming this way." A little maid at the door whispered.
Bai Ying was startled when she heard this, glanced at Sanniang, quickly opened the door a small crack, and dodged out.
After a while, Bai Ying came back and said, "Miss, the mother-in-law who came said that their wife was worried that you would be frightened, so she sent the grandmother around her to come and see you. Because those officials are too vulgar. It's inconvenient to let them in, but for your safety, you still have to have someone come and investigate, so that the gangsters don't hide here. Putting you in harm's way. The young master heard them say this. He pulled out the eldest master and the third master, thinking that it would be nothing big to come in and take a look, so he let them in. ”
Sanniang sighed secretly. Wang Jing is still a little tender!
But with the current situation in the family, the biological father is not by his side, the grandfather is unreliable, and he lacks an adult male elder who can guide him, how easy is it to cultivate and train well?
"They came prepared, if you go out at this moment, you must be able to get out of the yard and not be able to get out of the street." Sanniang said to Xuan Shao warmly.
Xuan Shaozheng picked up the dagger that Sanniang used to help him treat his wounds yesterday from the small table on the side and pulled out the soft sheath on the top. With a flick of his finger on the dagger, a low "whine" sounded. It's a shock to the mind. Sanniang saw that as soon as he turned his finger, the dagger disappeared as if by magic. I also thought that I had only heard of the sound of a sword, but I didn't know that a dagger could make such a low sound.
"Don't worry about me." Xuan Shao raised his dark eyes and faced Sanniang's, his voice was calm and firm.
Sanniang looked at him standing there with his back straight, the blue straight jacket on his body was made by Bai Ying to make an excuse from Wang Jing this morning, the light color of his clothes lined his pale face, and his handsome face looked even more like cold jade. But with such an outstanding appearance, people can't think of him as an ordinary weak teenager.
"You don't have to go out, I have a way to avoid the search of those mothers-in-law." Sanniang lowered her head, but still grabbed Xuan Shao, who was walking out.
Xuan Shao looked down at the sleeve of his shirt that was gently pulled by the slender white fingers, as if he felt a warm current of heat snaking up the sleeve like embroidery thread on the cuff, and instantly spread all over his body, until it wrapped around his heart and climbed to the tip of his heart while he was unprepared, and scratched it mischievously. This feeling is very strange, so strange that Xuan Shao is a little overwhelmed, but he has always been old, so he can't see anything on his face.
"What's the solution?" He should have refused her and turned away, but when he looked at her and suddenly raised his clear eyes to look at him, he paused unconsciously.
"You hold me hostage and rush out." Sanniang blinked and said mischievously.
Xuan Shao was silent, and was about to say that this method was inappropriate, but Sanniang said again: "Of course, this method is only used when you are desperate, and we don't need this now." ”
Xuan Shao was very helpless about her words.
"Bai Ying, come and help me." Sanniang beckoned to Bai Ying.
###
Mama Xu is the housekeeper of Mrs. Chen Tongzhi in Jinan Mansion, she is the son of Mrs. Chen's mother's family, and has been with Mrs. Chen's mother since she was a child, so she has been trusted by Mrs. Chen since she came to her husband's house with Mrs. Chen. Even Lord Chen's favorite concubine was sent by her to push the lotus pond after hearing about her wife's grievances, and later she tied up a small servant, stripped naked and threw it on the bed of the concubine in the middle of the night, and finally the concubine was sunk in the pond.
She has done this kind of thing a lot, and she has never been afraid to be this evil person. Therefore, in the backyard of the Chen family, the maids and daughters-in-law were more afraid of her than Mrs. Chen.
It's just that just now she received a strange order from his master, asking her to take a few mothers-in-law to this small courtyard in the name of her wife to take a look at the third lady of the Wang family, but in fact, she asked her to search up and down this courtyard to see if there was any injured man hiding here.
Mama Xu has always looked down on her master from the bottom of her heart, Master Chen was originally a poor scholar with four walls, and even his studies relied on the help of neighbors to be admitted to a lifter. But his fate was good, and he was taken by Mrs. Chen's father, and relied on the help of the Yue family to seek the position of governor of Jinan Prefecture.
But men, if they have no income, they will forget their last name once they have some rights and money. At the beginning, Chen Tongzhi just stole a little widow outside behind Mrs. Chen's back and secretly teased a little girl in the yard, but later saw that Mrs. Chen was weak and silent, so he began to blatantly take a pregnant actor into the house, and pampered him in every way. Although it was because of the power of the Yue family that the concubine would not spoil the concubine and kill his wife, Mrs. Chen was always wronged a lot.
Although she despises Chen Tongzhi very much, she is her wife's husband after all. Therefore, she didn't shirk the errand that Lord Chen sent her, and she picked someone over after receiving the order.
She is a native of Jinan Mansion, and she often follows Mrs. Chen to participate in various entertainments, and she knows all those things in the backyard of the official homes of various famous families in Jinan Mansion. Therefore, she also knows the situation of the concubine of the third room of the Qingcheng royal family, and it sounds like a concubine, but in fact, it is not as good as a concubine, and she is also a poor person.
"Mama Xu, in front of you is the yard where our young lady lives." A mother-in-law said.
"Thank you for your hard work." Mama Xu said with just the right amount of gratitude on her face.
"Mama Xu is polite, I'll go and call the little maid in to report." The woman said immediately.
Mama Xu smiled and nodded, but her footsteps did not stop, and she quietly glanced at the few mammas behind her, and two or three of them slowly fell behind, and then went to the back door of the yard.
Mama Xu glanced at the little girl who was getting orders and trotting towards the main room, and then looked at the closed door of the main room, and frowned.
"Why is the third lady still closing the doors and windows in broad daylight? Isn't it stuffy? Mama Xu asked another little girl at the gate of the hospital with a gentle smile.
"This slave maid doesn't know, since she got off the carriage and entered this courtyard yesterday, the young lady has never been out of the room, and only let Sister Bai Ying go in to serve alone." The girl was ignorant.
When Mama Xu heard this, she secretly pondered in her heart, but the smile on her face was softer: "Then what instructions did your young lady have that were different from the past?" ”
The maid blinked her big eyes and thought for a while, and suddenly nodded: "Oh, Sister Bai Ying also asked me to go to the kitchen to serve medicine to the young lady twice, but I didn't see her invite the doctor into the yard." ”
"Where's your kitchen?" Mama Xu looked around.
"Over there, it was cleaned up yesterday, it's a mess, if there is anything to do, the maid can help you go on a run." The girl pointed with her little hand and answered all questions.
Mama Xu smiled at the maid, but she glanced at a mama behind her, and the woman immediately went to the place where the maid was pointing.
"Mama Xu, our young lady said that she is not feeling well now and is not a guest. After a few days, when she was well, she went to visit Mrs. Chen and apologized for today's faux pas. The little girl who had just gone in to report came back and said.
Mama Xu's smile remained unchanged: "How is it appropriate not to invite a doctor to come and see when you are sick?" Our lady and the eldest lady in the house have always had a very good personal relationship, and speaking of which, you three young ladies should also be called aunts, and they can be regarded as the elders of the third young ladies. Now that the third lady has come here and is sick, your old lady has something to do, and if there are other elders around her, our lady will definitely have to deal with this distraction. If the third lady is unwilling to see the doctor, then let the old slave help her take a look, and the old slave can also be cured of ordinary diseases. ”
Mama Xu's words blocked all the excuses for Sanniang's refusal. (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. )
