Chapter 8 Nursing Mother
Mingzhu was restless during this time, it was extremely difficult to fall asleep and it was easy to wake up, Su Lan saw that she was asleep, so she quickly gently rested her feet on the brocade, and lightly took a thin quilt to cover her.
Mama Geng opened the curtain and showed her head, and when she saw that Mingzhu was asleep, she gave Su Lan a look and withdrew. Su Lan hurriedly beckoned another big girl, Su Mei, to guard the pearl, quietly withdrew, and stood under the porch with Mama Geng to speak: "What do you have to say?" ”
Mama Geng ruthlessly counted Su Lan: "I didn't want to talk about you in front of the girl earlier, you have been serving by the girl's side for many years, why don't you know the priorities?" The girl went out quietly at night, and you only knew how to catch up with her, and you didn't know how to ask someone to send me a message. It's a shame that there are no bad people on this mountain, otherwise if there is a mistake, it will not be enough to compensate for picking up the skin of your whole family! "She was Mrs. Fu Xiang's personal maid in her early years, and later married a housekeeper and made a nurse for Mingzhu, and she safely protected Mingzhu until she was sixteen years old, of course, she was very trusted by Mrs. Fu Xiang, of course, she was extremely face-saving, and she was an unforgiving character, so of course she would not easily spare Su Lan when she got such an opportunity.
Su Lan was scolded so red that her ears were red, and she pleaded in fear: "I was in a hurry, so I couldn't think of it." It's my mistake, and I ask Mama to cover it up for me, and don't tell Madame to know. ”
"Say no, let Madame know that that's not something you can manage." Mama Geng glared at her: "Where did the others die?" Why are you alone at night? ”
Su Lan said in a low voice: "Mama, you know, the girl has not been very stable since she woke up from a nightmare that day, she always likes to talk nonsense at night, and she is easy to wake up. ”
In fact, Mingzhu was afraid of revealing the clues in his heart, and no one was allowed to serve him when he was sleeping, but they didn't know it, so they just thought that Mingzhu had a big temper. Mama Geng couldn't help it, sighed, and said anxiously: "Is the shoe really the girl took off herself?" Didn't you say there was another one on the porch? I asked people to look for it, and I searched back and forth, but I couldn't find it. This is the girl's personal thing, how can it be good if it is picked up for people to make an article? Madame handed her over to me, what do you want me to do if something like this happens? ”
Of course, the shoes were not lost by the girl herself, but they were all related to the British king Yuwenchu. The first one had already fallen into the abyss, and he couldn't find it, and the second one, Su Lan recalled nervously for a while, and didn't remember whether the shoe had been knocked off the cliff by the guard named Zhang Huan in the British Palace.
Seeing this, Mama Geng pinched Su Lan's arm twice, then twisted the soft flesh on the inside of her arm and gritted her teeth and scolded in a low voice: "Dead girl, I don't know if you ask three questions, what do you want?" ”
Su Lan was in pain, shrunk her head and begged for mercy in a low voice, Mama Geng knew that she must not be telling the truth to herself, so she threatened viciously: "I know that you are loyal to the girl, but you have to know the priorities, this matter is not a big trouble, if it is a big trouble, you and I can't escape a dead word, why don't you say it quickly?" Do you want me to tell my wife, please eat family law, and then implicate your mother? ”
"It's the girl who danced on the cloister, and accidentally dropped a ......" Su Lan squeaked, but she refused to tell the truth, Geng Mama was forced endlessly, and there was a commotion in the two times, Su Mei came out and said: "The girl is awake, let you all go in." ”
Mingzhu has the gas to get up, and when she gets up, the prime minister and his wife can't control it, Geng Mama guessed that it was the two of them who woke up Mingzhu, and she couldn't please her after she went in, so she blamed Su Lan: "The dead girl and I are strong, and if you tell me the truth, you won't wake up the girl." It's all because you're ignorant, how should you talk when you go in, don't you need me to teach you? ”
Su Lan didn't speak, only lowered her eyes and went in to salute Mingzhu respectfully, and said with a smile: "Girl is awake?" ”
Mingzhu leaned on the recliner and looked at the emerald outside the window in a daze, and did not answer Su Lan's words, turned her back to Mama Geng and said coldly: "I don't allow her to say it, Mama, you should tell me, should she listen to you, or listen to me?" ”
Do you need to ask? She is the master of all of them, of course she has to listen to her. Mama Geng was embarrassed by Mingzhu in front of several girls, her old face was flushed with shame, and she was about to kneel down and kowtow to her: "It's the old slave who is confused, I only remember that the lady was only a little older when she handed over the girl to the old slave, and the old slave always remembers to treat the girl as his own eyeballs to hurt ......" Speaking of this, he glanced at Mingzhu and saw that she was looking out of the window with a faint expression, and she didn't hurry to help herself as before, so she had to continue to act, lying on the ground and crying sadly: "If you care, you will be chaotic, and you will lose your sense of proportion for a while, The old slaves only thought that Su Lan was ignorant, and they did something wrong with the girl, which was also for the good of the girl......"
Mingzhu interrupted Mama Geng's words unhurriedly: "Don't worry about Mama to keep talking about the credit, I always remember your kindness." Thanks to you for taking care of me all these years, now that I am older, I can't bear to work for me day and night, this time I went back to tell my mother, find a good house for my mother, let my grandmother raise it. ”
Is this to be kicked out? Mama Geng was startled, and covered her face in shame and cried: "The big girl is the face of an old slave, where do you dare to say anything about kindness?" The old slave didn't serve the good girl, he disliked the girl, he didn't have the face to raise him, and he asked the girl to take back her life. ”
Su Lan didn't expect Mingzhu's anger to be so bad this time, and she was afraid that she would be retaliated by Mama Geng afterwards, so she hurriedly stepped forward to intercede for her. Mingzhu then said: "I'm already old, I have my own number of what to do, don't treat me as a child who doesn't understand anything." I'm in charge of what's in my house. Did you hear it all? ”
Mama Geng was silent at all, she didn't rely on the old to sell the old, she didn't cry anymore, she just shed tears quietly. Mingzhu glanced at her and said calmly: "Help Mama up." "But he didn't say a seat.
Su Lan and Su Mei glanced at each other, and knew that Mingzhu was really going to give Mama Geng a prestige, so they lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes to help Mama Geng up, and didn't say a word.
"Mama go down and rest, you take someone to find me for half a night, and you are tired, so you don't have to come to me to serve these days." Mingzhu stood up and stretched out her arms to signal Su Lan and the others to come forward to change her clothes and freshen up.
Mama Geng has always been very embarrassed in front of Mingzhu in the past, and the existence of the two masters is suddenly hit by this, so she is naturally not convinced, ******** only thinks that Su Lan and others said bad things about her in front of Mingzhu, so she stood and refused to leave, crying: "Why does the girl suddenly hate the old slave so much?" The old slave really has no face to live. ”
