Chapter 15: Coming Forward
Qi Yue didn't have those feelings, she didn't know what Ah Ru was doing at all, in fact, she knew that "her" husband didn't carry a letter or didn't accept clothes or anything, and she didn't feel anything.
At that time, she was in the house with her own scalpel and other instruments to simulate the air, listening to Ah Hao, who was exercising her skills in the kitchen, called Sister Aru, and then heard the sound of the curtain, presumably Ah Ru entered her room, at this moment, the courtyard door was knocked open, and then a little girl called Ah Ru.
"Sister Aru, the merchant asked you to bring you a letter, your brother is dying on the street." The girl shouted in a rough voice.
Ah Hao, who was in the kitchen and was about to practice her craft, sat directly on the ground, and after reacting, she saw Ah Ru crying and ran out, Qi Yue was also taken aback, and her professional habits were directly pointed at by the word "going to die", so she grabbed the medicine box and followed out.
Aru had already run away with the girl.
"Let's go see what's going on?" Qi Yue hurriedly shouted at Ah Hao, who came out of the door.
Ah Hao answered the call and ran out.
Here Qi Yue was restless and waiting, and after a while, Ah Ru ran in crying, and knelt down at Qi Yue as soon as he entered the door.
"Young lady, beg young lady to let me go back and have a look." She couldn't stop crying and kowtowed.
"Naturally, I'm going." Qi Yue hurriedly went over to pull her.
Ah Hao also ran back out of breath.
โโฆ Working as a manpower on the street, robbing people for work, and being cut with a knife...", she described the specific messages she heard from the merchants.
"Then you're going home." Qi Yue said, "What are you doing when you come back?" โ
"The slave maid can't see Mother Su, so she begs the young lady to ask Mother Su for a pair of cards..."Aru kowtowed and said.
That's what the leave note means, Qi Yue sighed.
"Okay, no problem," she said, nodding her head, and then looking at Ah Hao, "I...."
The young lady had amnesia, so naturally she didn't remember these things, but Ah Hao immediately understood.
"I'll take the young lady's pair of cards to find Su's mother." She said.
"Go, go, go." Qi Yue waved his hand and urged.
watched Ah Hao take a pair of cards and pull Ah Rufei out.
Qi Yue waited for a moment, but it was a little girl who ran over.
"Young lady," she shouted timidly outside the door.
Qi Yue was in the courtyard and looked at her immediately.
This is an eleven or twelve-year-old little girl, dressed like the little girl who grabbed the lotus flower that day, but she looks thinner, and when she saw Qi Yue looking over, she lowered her head in fright.
"Ah Hao and Sister Ah Ru are crying there, I can't see Mother Su..."She said in a low voice, turned around and ran away after speaking, as if she was afraid of being seen.
This kid was kind enough to report the news, Qi Yue heard it, and immediately raised his feet and went out, only to remember that he didn't know the way at all.
"Where are they?" She hurriedly shouted, "I don't know the way."
Fortunately, the little girl hadn't run far yet, so she stopped and waved at her, signaling to follow her.
Qi Yue hurriedly followed, not caring about appreciating the scenery of the ancient Hou Mansion, and walked along the road for a while, the little girl has been running ahead, only occasionally looking back to see if Qi Yue has followed, as if she is afraid of being seen by others, she came to a courtyard through the two gates, and heard Aru's cry from a distance, the little girl pointed in a direction to her, and she turned around and ran away.
"Please, sister-in-law, tell Su's mother, this is our young lady's pair, and the young lady agreed..."
Ah Hao kept kowtowing here, and there was already a patch of blood on his forehead.
There were four or five women standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking careless, two or three were eating melon seeds, and the other two were not allowed to eat melon seeds.
โโฆ You candlesticks, you are scolded for not being clean, and you are scolding and sweeping wherever you go..."The woman laughed and scolded.
"Do you know what kind of melon seeds this is?" The three women laughed, "This is what I just went to the eldest lady's house, I replied well, Miss A Luan grabbed it from the table for me, this is a melon seed that can only be eaten in the palace in the capital..."
"Then I have to tell someone, this melon seed skin can't be swept up and chewed..."
Everyone burst into laughter, overshadowing Aru's crying.
"Sister-in-law.." Ah was so anxious that she cried out, "Please talk to Su's mother... Sister Aru is just one relative...."
"That's what the girl said." Finally, a woman turned her face to look at her, and flattened her mouth as if she was smiling, "The girl is also a second-class position, how can she say such a ridiculous thing, what is a relative?" Miss Aru came in by selling the deed of death, what other relatives are there? Our house is her home, where are the relatives outside? If you want to have relatives, why should you be greedy for those few taels of silver? โยท
"Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, even if a few taels of silver are sold, the birth and blood relatives can't be erased, is it possible that you mean, as long as you use money, you can erase this Monarch Prince?"
A voice suddenly interjected.
The woman has never read a book, and she didn't understand what she meant for a while, but she understood that she was questioning herself, and questioning herself was to give these two girls a head, and she dared to stand out for these two girls, she was really blind and asking for trouble!
"Can you speak human words? If you can't speak, you can't speak..."The woman said with a slanted brow and a slanted face, and looked for the sound while saying to see which one was not long-sighted.
"Ahh Qi Yue said.
Ah Hao happened to pull the woman, and when he heard the sound, he gave the woman a slap.
That day, Qi Yue said that she would fish for the book if she had the opportunity, and she would keep her words firmly in her heart regardless of the future, and she raised her hand without hesitation when she heard a shout.
A crisp slap made the scene of laughter and roar suddenly quiet.
"How do you talk to the young lady?" Ah Hao shouted, and ran back to Qi Yue after shouting a few steps.
Qi Yue couldn't help wiping a cold sweat, and looked at Ah Hao, who didn't know what to say, this really wasn't what she meant to beat, although she didn't like this mother-in-law's attitude very much.....
"Less. . . Young lady. Finally, a mother-in-law saw the person who was coming, rubbed her eyes, some recognized and couldn't recognize it, and stammered and shouted tentatively.
The mother-in-law who was slapped was stunned.
"You little hoof dare to hit me," she was about to jump up and shout, and when she heard the salutation, her voice stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked at the woman standing in front of them in amazement.
I haven't seen each other for three years, and everyone's memories are blurred, as if they want to think about it, but it doesn't seem to be like ......
"What did you just say about me? I'm not talking about human words? Qi Yue looked at the woman and asked.
"Young lady. . . Young lady, the old slave doesn't know it's you.." The woman hurriedly apologized, and after the initial surprise, disbelief appeared on her face, and she covered her face, "The old slave told these two girls, and the old slave didn't say anything wrong, since he sold the death deed, how could he visit his relatives casually..."
"I don't think I'm talking about people, it's that you can't understand people." Qi Yue smiled and looked at the mother-in-law, "Did I ask you this?" โ
The mother-in-law was stunned by her drinking.
"Then what did the young lady ask?" She stammered and asked.
"You just said I didn't speak human words?" Qi Yue asked.
What is this, the women are a little crying and laughing, and they dare to speak once they die, but they are still so muddy that they can't support the wall, and what they say is nonsense.
"The old slave doesn't know that it's the young lady..."The woman was also a little annoyed, in front of so many people, she was faceless by this young lady who was like a dead person....
You just say yes, don't you? Where did the nonsense come from? Qi Yue interrupted her.
The mother-in-law on the side pulled the sleeve of the mother-in-law's coat.
"It's the old slave who said it, not the human language." The woman gritted her teeth and bowed her head.
"Isn't this the end of it," Qi Yue said, waving his hand, his voice soft, "Since I'm talking about human language, then you understand, right?" Even if this girl sold the death deed, the grace of birth and raising, the love of brotherhood cannot be erased, and now her brother is in trouble, if her sister is not visiting, it is the heart of the animal. โ
The women looked at Qi Yue with strange expressions.
Is the young lady scolding them? Right, yes?
"What's wrong?" A question came from the courtyard, followed by the sound of footsteps in her clothes, and a woman walked out.
The woman, who was about forty years old, wore a blue-purple gown, with a round and white face, thin eyebrows, and a faint powder, and she walked over and raised her hand to caress her sideburns, revealing two thin gold bracelets on her wrists and a green ring on her fingers.
As she spoke, she walked out of the door, and her eyes fell on Qi Yue in front of the door, and she was stunned.
"Young lady!" She took a few steps closer, her face surprised, "Why are you here?" Under this great sun. What do you have to say to the girl, why did she come out by herself? Can this body stand it? What about people? But the girl is stealing and slipping? โ
She spoke in one breath, her expression changed from surprise, joy, incomprehension, and severity to succession, like flowing clouds and water, without the slightest pretentiousness, hypocrisy.
Qi Yue smiled unconsciously, only feeling very kind in his heart.
Could this be the one who is in charge of all chores, the first companion of the Hou Ye and Mrs. Xie, similar to the emperor's position as the former chief eunuch of the Dingxi Houfu Inner Courtyard, Mother Su?
"Sue's mother." Ah Hao shouted.
"Mother Su is like this, Ah Hao..."Qi Yue said with a smile, stretching out his hand to Ah Hao, "Give me the right cards." โ
Ah Hao hurriedly picked it up.
"What does Madame want?" Su's mother asked hurriedly.
"My girl, Aru, has a younger brother at home, someone brought a letter to the door just now, I'm afraid it's not good if something happens, I want to go back and see..."Qi Yue smiled and handed over the pair of cards.
Su's mother immediately understood what was going on.
"Take the right cards and send the girl out, grab some money, and ask for a good doctor." She turned and said.
The two girls who followed behind immediately responded, one untied one from the pendant full of various colored cards hanging from his waist, and the other went to pull Aru, who was kneeling on the ground and crying.
"Sister, let's go quickly." They said, their faces anxious, as if it were their own matter at this time.
Ah Ru kowtowed to Qi Yue, wiped his tears and staggered away.
Here, Qi Yue looked at Su's mother and smiled.
"This pair of cards has been put aside for too long, and it has fallen gray and old..."She looked at the pair of cards in her hand, sandalwood and heavy wood, beautifully carved, with her name on it, shining in the sun, "I'm afraid that the two girls will not recognize them when they take them out, so it is better for people to come in person." โ
