Chapter 49: Goodbye
Chapter 49: Goodbye
After about a cup of tea, the maid took Xia Meizhen to the door of a courtyard, and said to her: "You wait here, I will report to the young lady." ”
Xia Meizhen nodded, and the maid went in.
When she got inside, Mrs. Cheng was leaning over to breastfeed, and the maid was blessed from afar, so she told Xia Meizhen's intention, and then said, "Young lady, do you really want to give our restaurant to a girl of unknown origin to take care of?" ”
This girl is the dowry girl of Cheng Xiaowoman, called Xiangqin, and the one who was killed is a pair of twins, and she is trusted by Feng Jianniang on weekdays. So when I heard that Xia Meizhen was here to take care of the restaurant, not to mention whether the restaurant belonged to the public or Feng Jianniang's dowry shop, she, who was a maid, also had to think about the master.
Feng Jianniang hadn't slept well for several days for Sister Xu'er's illness for a while, and the account books had been pressed for several days, so she was not interested in the restaurant or anything, so she shook her hand: "You told her, it's the young master's intention......"
As he was talking, the baby who was lying down eating, breastfeeding, suddenly coughed violently, and then cried loudly, so frightened that Mrs. Cheng didn't care about tidying up her clothes and got up, and the nurse who was waiting on the side immediately went over to pick up her sister and pat her back, and said to Mrs. Cheng: "Miss Xu is choking on milk, just hold it with her hand when breastfeeding." ”
Originally, a big family like the Cheng family didn't need Feng Jianniang to feed the child herself, but this Sister Xu was a child she only had five years after marriage, and she was born weak, Lang Zhong said that it was good to breastfeed her mother, so the house not only invited an experienced nurse, but she also took feeding the child as the most important thing to do.
The survival rate of children in ancient times was low, but this did not prevent Feng Jianniang from treating Sister Xu as an eyeball.
Seeing that her daughter was coughing non-stop, she didn't want to see Xia Meizhen anymore, so she said to Xiangqin, who had been waiting to talk: "You just said that I will rest here and let her come tomorrow." ”
What is Xia Meizhen's origin, she naturally heard her husband talk about it, but it was just a thing to make amends, she didn't want to see it and disappeared, she still lived in her Cheng Mansion left and right, and she naturally saw her when she met.
Cheng Bu wanted to let Xia Meizhen out, but it was a temporary idea, so Feng Jianniang didn't know that Xia Meizhen was no longer from their family.
Xiangqin led the order to go out, and when she saw that Xia Meizhen was not impatient, she stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited, and said, "Our young grandmother is resting, or you will come back tomorrow." ”
This is the young grandmother of Cheng Mansion, Xia Meizhen felt that she had received Cheng Jinke and Cheng Bu's words, and she didn't dare to rush in like this, and this young lady didn't want to see herself, she estimated that she might still be angry with the Dai family for beating her maid to death, so she said to Xiangqin: "So it's annoying for my sister." When should I come tomorrow? ”
She can't still rest when she comes tomorrow, won't she be a waste of time and can't do anything by running back and forth by herself?
If Xia Meizhen is the maid of the daughter of a certain mansion, it doesn't matter, if you can ask such a thing, it is also for the master, but this Xia Meizhen is a poor and white person in her own house, Xiangqin never thought that she would have such the courage to ask such a thing, she was surprised for a while, looked at Xia Meizhen several times, and then said: "Our lady has not rested for several days for the sake of Miss, and I don't know when I will be free tomorrow, you can come early tomorrow." ”
After saying that, he didn't look at her anymore, turned around and left, as if Xia Meizhen was a flood beast that would eat her.
There was no way, Xia Meizhen had to go to the gatehouse of the outer courtyard. Her burden is still here, since Cheng Bu said that he would let her go, and now he can't see the young lady, then she will go back to Lingyang Village first.
Out of the lotus workshop, I saw people running out of the workshop one after another, and the water at the entrance of the workshop was already blocked, and the crowds were crowded one by one, and occasionally you stepped on my feet, and my hat fell off.
Xia Meizhen didn't know why, so she pulled an old aunt who rushed over to watch the excitement and asked, "What's going on ahead?" So many people go to see it? ”
The old aunt said: "It's Master Li Chengshan who was arrested, and everyone went to see the excitement." She said, without waiting for Xia Meizhen to speak, and hurriedly squeezed into the crowd.
Li Chengshan, isn't he the one who killed the original owner's father who died in prison? No matter how Li Bao died, Li Chengshan relied on his power to poison Xia Zhiyuan in prison, which she couldn't tolerate.
Xia Meizhen firmly believes that Xia Zhiyuan is wronged.
At this time, there are more and more people on the side of Fangkou, and since it is about Li Chengshan, she must also go to take a look.
It's just that when Xia Meizhen finally squeezed into the crowd, the prisoner car escorting Li Chengshan had already gone to the front, and she only saw the back of a man wearing a white prisoner's uniform with disheveled hair, and behind the prisoner car were seventy or eighty people, estimated to be the family servants of Li Chengshan and others.
When these people who wore hands and feet passed, there were seven or eight adults on horseback wearing official uniforms, and the originally noisy crowd was even more ruthless when these adults passed by, and the water and fire sticks in the hands of the officials were even more merciless, stopping the people to death, and the scene was a lot quieter.
Xia Meizhen was stopped outside, but that didn't stop her from seeing the familiar young man on the horse.
Xiao Hengwei. She said the name in her heart.
This was the first time she had seen him in an official uniform, perhaps because he was too thin, and the official uniform was a little empty on his body, just like the school uniform in our modern schools.
After a while, the escort team passed, and although the crowd dispersed a little, there were still many people discussing the matter in groups of three or five. Xia Meizhen wanted to inquire about this matter, so she also went over to hear it clearly.
I heard a man with a dark face say: "...... This matter, in fact, there have been signs for a long time, the saint ordered that private salt is strictly prohibited, this Li Chengshan Ge Zhong met Lord Xiao, it was not a cat that saw a mouse and caught a quasi! ”
Someone asked who this Lord Xiao was.
The black-faced man sold a relationship, and after the onlookers urged him again and again, he said: "This Lord Xiao is the second son of Lord Xiao Peizhong Xiao in our Fucheng, Lord Xiao, he served as the ambassador of the Salt Introduction Approval Institute two years ago, and he was in charge of the salt introduction, and he was a big official of the three grades of the servant Lang Zhengsanpin, and Lao Tzu intended to promote his son," he concluded, "It is obvious that Li Chengshan was planted in the hands of Lord Xiao Xiao." ”
When he said this, everyone sighed. The ancestral home of the Xiao family is Xuanzhou Mansion, but most of the people in the clan are in the capital, so although there is a dragon and a descendant of Yin Rong, but now in Xuanzhou Mansion is an old lady, these ten years, the people in the city are about to forget such a family, suddenly a little Xiao Lord popped up, and also killed Li Chengshan, a foreigner, really a big news!
Li Chengshan, a member of the foreign court, was given by the emperor. This time, there was inevitably another turmoil in the court.
Xia Meizhen is from the future, and naturally understands that private salt is a means for some officials to make money, Xiao Hengwei arrested Li Chengshan, not only to help her avenge the murder of her father, but also to move the interests of some people in the court, so he can't help but worry.
