Chapter 102: The Shadow Appears
Anyway, he won't be a good person, Hua Cry thought to herself.
In addition to the kitchen and a few cooks in the back house, the women from top to bottom were imprisoned.
Hua Wei can't go to the kitchen to see which cook's head is similar to the shadow outside the paper window, so I have to hope that they will come to her automatically.
Lying down and waiting for Ziyu, he hasn't come back to the back house for a long time, probably because the front hall is too busy with official business, as long as he has a little leisure these days, he will come to Hua Cry to take care of it.
Hua Cry felt very uncomfortable, felt sorry for him, and was busy before and after, but she could only let him be like this, silently reminding herself that she owed Ziyu more and more.
Ziyu didn't return to her house until noon, and it seemed that she was very busy, but she came back specifically to take care of Hua Qi's food and medicine.
Every day, he would personally go to the kitchen to serve meals and medicine, not letting his mother-in-law interfere, and then watch Hua weep and eat, and then he would go to the front hall or go out on business.
Ziyu walked back as fast as he could, he was afraid that the food would be cold.
Although Nanping is located in the south, it is also very cold in winter, sometimes, the frozen ice will crush the giant trees on the mountain, of course, that is only a very few, most of the time, until the cold season, you will see a little ice slag in the ditch, more often, it is winter and rain.
The south is not the cold of the north, it is clammy and cold, and the cold invades the muscles and bones.
"Yin'er, sit up quickly, drink the medicine first, and then eat." Ziyu brought a small table, put it on the couch, and let Hua Cry sit on the couch to eat.
Hua Wai sat down obediently, drank the bitter medicine soup that Ziyu got up in the morning and put it there, and then said: "Ziyu, just let the cook bring the food in the future, you don't have to run around all the time, I'm fine, take a look!" ”
Hua Wei deliberately waved her arms to indicate that she had regained her strength.
"Ziyu is reluctant!" Ziyu paused before saying.
Hua Cry thought that Ziyu would say that he was not worried about his mother-in-law or something, but unexpectedly, he was reluctant to be alone with her every moment, it turned out that he had listened to Lao Langzhong's "alarmist words", afraid that she would die in a short time, or be crazy and never recognize him again.
Ziyu! What a good gentleman, if he knew Ye Qinglin before he knew him, Hua Chui secretly felt that maybe the person who could not be squeezed away in her heart was him.
"Ziyu, you have a lot of things, don't be like this, I, I'm really fine, I can take care of myself, maybe I can go down to the townships and pavilions with you in a while to see the progress of reclamation." Hua Wai had no choice but to change the subject.
"Well, you have to get better quickly, don't worry about the matter of reclamation of the mountain, Yin'er didn't have to worry, I received a message from Zhenghe Fu in the Qingshui Pavilion this morning, saying that the bandits there have been cleared by the people of Minghyun, and the villagers have gone up the mountain to reclaim, and there are still ......" Ziyu said, as if he had nothing to say.
"What else?" Hua Cry asked softly.
"I heard He Fu say that the woodcutter who once bought Yin'er to go to Qingshui Pavilion fell to his death in the mountains." Ziyu wanted to tell Hua Cry that the wicked have evil retribution, and the person who bullied her had already warped, but she was afraid that Hua Cry didn't want to mention it, so she hesitated.
"Huh? He's dead? "Hua Wai is a bit unexpected, a perennial person who lives by going up the mountain to collect firewood will also fall to death in the mountain, when it is really a night road no matter how familiar, you will meet ghosts when you walk more!
"Don't be afraid, it's none of your business that person is dead!" Ziyu was worried that a kind woman like Yin'er would be frightened when she heard that someone had died, so she hurriedly comforted her.
"Well, I'm not afraid, the mountains in other places are cultivated faster than Qingshui Pavilion, right?" Hua Weeping only cares about whether the farmers have land to cultivate in the spring next year.
"In the rest of the place, some farmers have already cultivated several paddy fields for themselves, that is, it is cold in winter, and the strength is easy to sweat when going up the mountain, and then it is blown by the cold mountain wind, which is easy to catch the wind and cold, but fortunately, the apprentices sent down by the shopkeepers of the various pharmacies in the city understand pharmacology, and they are allowed to go up the mountain every morning, so that the number of patients is greatly reduced, and the reclamation is faster."
"Ahh I now want to go down to the townships and pavilions to see the paddy fields they have cultivated. Yin'er suddenly lifted the quilt and almost overturned the small table on the couch.
"Yin'er hurry up and eat, you can use the rice in a quarter of an hour after drinking the medicine, if you don't eat it again, it will be cold, and Ziyu has to take it back to heat it." Ziyu has long been accustomed to Hua Wai's thinking that it is a play.
Hua Wei quickly took a few bites of rice very obediently, wiped her mouth and said: "Look at how fast I eat, Ziyu, I'm already well, I'm really well, don't be so tired in the future, just let me go to the kitchen to eat by myself, don't believe me, I'll go down and walk a few to show you." ”
Hua Cry really went to the ground, deliberately walking very slowly, indicating that he had just recovered, and reminded Ziyu from time to time to see that he walked.
Ziyu wanted to stop her, seeing that she was really fine, and she was also happy in her heart, the hard work of these days was not in vain, Yin'er was really happy, and nodded: "Okay, it's okay for Yin'er to move around if you want to, but you can't go out, just breathe in the yard, otherwise, you won't be allowed to stay again." ”
Hua Cried got Ziyu's approval, and finally didn't have to sneak back and forth in the room, although she had fully recovered, she could jump, run, and even fight tigers, but when she went out of the door, she still had to pretend that she was seriously ill and walked slowly and carefully.
She's going to the kitchen and see the cook.
When the masters finished their meals, they arrived at the next people, and when Hua Weeping entered the kitchen, the four cooks were eating in front of the stove.
Seeing Hua Qi coming in, he hurriedly put down his rice bowl, came to serve, and asked Hua Wei what she needed, and they would send it to the room, Yunyun.
"Aunts, let's continue to eat, don't worry about me, I'm just full, I'm just out for a while, I don't need anything." Hua weeping smiled in bad spirits.
"Girl, do you want water?" A mother-in-law didn't wait for Hua Wai to respond, so she went to bring a bowl of water diligently.
Since it was served, Hua Weeping had no choice but to continue, sat down and took a sip, and looked up at the mother-in-law who served the water, unlike the shadow in front of the paper window, which should not be like this.
"Thank you, auntie, you can eat, disturb me." Hua Wai said gently.
The mother-in-law responded and carefully returned to the stove, and the other three mothers-in-law saw that Hua Wei really had nothing to do, so they also relaxed and slowly continued to eat.
The other three, the head shape is compared one by one, it doesn't seem to be, these mothers-in-law don't have any beads on their heads, they all pull their long hair directly to the back of their heads and roll them into a hair ball, which is the standard dress of the subordinates, and it is not suitable to wear a hairpin to do work.
And on the head of the shadow outside the paper window, there are several hairpins protruding.
Several mothers-in-law saw that Hua Weeping kept looking at them, and nervously put down the dishes and chopsticks, the four of them stood up, bowed to Hua Wee, and one of the mothers-in-law said: "The girl really has nothing to tell the slave?" ”
A few of them were a little afraid of Hua Weeping, because they heard that the entire back house was locked up by the county official, because there were no slaves and maids in the back house, so they invited the four of them to come, and now Hua Weeping looked at them directly, frightened, afraid that they would be locked up in the next moment.
"Oh! It's okay, it's okay, look at me, I lost my mind for a while, let my aunt laugh, Hua Cry is to see you kindly, like my hometown neighbor's aunt, no one speaks, just come and talk to the aunts, auntie, you eat, if you don't mind, you can eat while chatting with Hua Cry. Hua Xi hurriedly smiled, and secretly said how did he become feared by everyone?
The four mothers-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this girl was bored.
The mother-in-law really brought a small stool with a rice bowl and sat next to Hua Weeping, asking long and short questions while picking up the rice.
Elderly women talk a lot, and they don't care if they think of anything or not, they can always catch it anyway.
"The girl's status is noble, and she is willing to chat with us subordinates, which is really the creation of our old women."
"Auntie, don't say that, Hua Cry grew up in the mountains since she was a child, and she can't compare to your aunts who work in the city, and I haven't even touched a few coppers before."
"Hahaha, the girl is really good at laughing."
The bursts of laughter were very harmonious, and the mother-in-law had already thrown away her previous fears, and only felt that this flower girl was an approachable and good girl.
"Aunties are cooking so many people's meals in the back house, are you still busy?" Hua Cry asked with concern.
"If you can't be busy, you have to do it, the front officer, these people in the back house, all have to cook for a few of our mothers-in-law, and it's very busy to say it, but a few of our mothers-in-law are happy, the adults are very good to us, give one or two silver a month, that is, the officials in the front hall are only one or two a month, we, hehehe, thanks to the blessing of the adults and girls, we are desperate, and we must do a good job of the meals of the entire county government."
"yes, yes! The adult is really a good official, I really don't have to say anything about people like us, my children heard about a tael of silver wages, and they still don't believe it! ”
The mother-in-law gossiped one by one, praised Ziyu, and praised Hua Wei by the way.
"Why is there only four of you in the kitchen, and there is no one else? Living so much, can't you be tired of four aunts? ”
"No, it's just the four of us, and the mother-in-law next door to my house also wanted to come, but the adults didn't seem to like it, saying that the flowers and branches she wore all day long were not a worker."
As soon as the mother-in-law finished speaking, a person came in at the door, this person is also an elderly mother-in-law, Hua Cry does not know, look at her dress, it seems to be much more gorgeous than the four mother-in-law in front of her, and then look up, will also dress up, wipe the rouge with the beads.
When a woman saw someone coming in the door, she said, "Why are you here again, I said that I can't be the master, and the adults said that they are enough cooks!" ”
This person is the person who the mother-in-law said that she also wants to be a cook next door to her house, Ziyu is right, she is dressed so fancy, she is really not a worker.
A shadow flashed through my head.
"Catch her for me!" Hua Wei stood up and shouted, this person who just came in must be the shadow outside the window of Hua Wei paper.
The two mothers-in-law immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and stepped forward to grab the bewitching mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law who was talking was standing there staring at the moment, not knowing why Hua Cry was arresting her neighbor.
"Auntie, go to the front hall and call the adults to come over!" Hua Wai said to another mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law nodded hurriedly, although she didn't understand what was happening, but the master had orders, and she had to do it.
"Girl, what's going on?" The cook who knew the bewitching woman asked in a panic, she was afraid that Hua Cry would even arrest her.
"Auntie, it's none of your business, don't worry, you're a neighbor, you're not a good person, you'll find out in a moment!" Hua Wai comforted the cook.
Ziyu hurriedly came into the kitchen, and when she saw Hua Wai, she asked, "Yin'er, what's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”
"Well, that person is over to you." Hua Wei stretched out her hand and pointed to the bewitching woman who was caught by two cooks.
