Chapter 337: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
"And then?"
"The emperor ascended the throne, the Liu family declined, but Liu Guangzhong found that he was overtaken by Yan Guangbiao, and he couldn't command those dead soldiers at all."
Wen Jin nodded: "I've always wondered how Liu Guangzhong could be so obedient, being pressed by the emperor step by step, and there was no follow-up, so that's the case." ”
"Hmm."
"Did Yan Guangbiao run away this time?"
"Hmm."
"How did you leak the news?" Wen Jin became nervous, "He won't get along with you, right?" ”
"So, you have been going out as little as possible lately, and don't follow the staff for the sake of comfort." Qian Jun said solemnly.
"Yes!" Wen Jin didn't dare to joke with her own life, she promised again and again, and when she turned around, she also demanded that the gold and money must also be complied with. Qian Qian is now a normal child, practicing martial arts with his father with his brother every day, then studying, and sometimes lying in Wen Jin's arms, because since he was a child, Wen Jin has cared more for him, the memory of his previous life has been sealed, but the memory of the future life exists normally.
Midnight is two years old, can already speak simple words, children are the most sensitive, often money coquettish, he squeezed over, Jin Jin saw it, and smiled, he really has the demeanor of a boss, more calm and sensible.
The nurse in midnight was sick, and someone recommended an old mother to Wen Jin.
"This is Aunt Fei, who suffered a disaster a few years ago and lost contact with her husband and children, she has searched for many places, but to no avail, and now she has given up, just looking for a stable place to spend the rest of her life." That's what the Chinese said to Wen Jin.
Aunt Fei is a few years older than Wen Jin, she looks very well maintained, she looks very young like Wen Jin, she sits and walks very well, and she is obviously strictly trained.
"What does your husband do? Where are my parents' hometowns? ”
"The villain is a native of Guanzhong, his father once did Zhizhou, died of illness at an early age, the husband's family was originally an official eunuch, and later engaged in business, Yongchang five years of Guanzhong Dashui, the hometown became Zeguo, the villain's property was lost, and the husband and son were nowhere to be found. For the rest of the year, the villain has been wandering outside, living on needlework and sewing. ”
"Are you willing to be an adoptive mother, that is, you are willing to sell yourself as a slave?"
"Yes!" Aunt Fei bowed her head, a little sad.
Wen Jin asked Chunlan to take Aunt Fei out, wrote a deed of sale to the steward of the outer courtyard, filed it in the government, and then brought it in.
"Oh, since you're good at needlework, help me mend a piece of clothing, you can take a look first, if you can't make it up, you can say it clearly, don't be embarrassed."
Aunt Fei saw that it was a robe made of blue peacock feathers, her eyes flashed slightly, and then she lowered her head and said respectfully: "Slave maid can give it a try." ”
This dress is Jinjin's, and after only one day of wearing it during the Chinese New Year, it was burned to a yellow point by firecracker crumbs, and Jin Jin was distressed, this is his favorite clothes.
Aunt Fei's craftsmanship is good, she took it over after two days, and re-woven it with the peacock feathers of the primary color, and if you don't look carefully, you really can't find that flaw.
"Okay, yes, Chunlan, give her a silver tael reward."
"It's too much." Aunt Fei said shyly.
"Take it, you're here, there's something to add."
"Concubine Xie."
Although Aunt Fei said that she was a supportive mother for midnight, Wen Jin had a lot of work to do, and she temporarily acted as an embroidery girl, flying needles and threads every day.
Part of the subordinate room of the Xiao Mansion is in the master's courtyard, and some are concentrated in a side courtyard of the mansion, Wen Jin is a guest in the Xiao Mansion, so it is naturally not so spacious, so he put Aunt Fei in that side courtyard.
Aunt Fei didn't say much, but she was enthusiastic, easy-going, and generous, and soon stood in the courtyard, and several single manservants were thinking about her, and there was nothing to do in front of her.
Wen Jin let the dance and dance look outside that night, she sent all the subordinates away and talked to Qian Jun: "This Aunt Fei is very problematic. ”
"Huh?" Qian Jun's face immediately became serious.
"Although she speaks with a northern accent, there are one or two words, but it is very similar to my father's pronunciation, I tested it, her embroidery method, there are also some exotic characteristics, and, she herself said, Yongchang five years of hometown flood, family property lost, but that hand, there is no callus at all, I let her embroider these days, Chunlan, dance to observe, all said that her hands seem to be very painful, do a while of work, have to blow her fingers."
"You mean, you mean......" Qian Jun's hands clenched, "the thief dared to infiltrate my side." ”
"Shizi, I will find a foster mother for Midnight, I will naturally be cautious and cautious, temptation is indispensable, this Fei Lady looks flawless on the surface, but what she said and did, the subtle places can't stand scrutiny, the more I look at it, the more strange I feel, and I can feel that she is not an ordinary thief."
"How do you feel about this?"
"Momentum, she has a momentum that has been in a high position for a long time, looking at everything vertically and horizontally, even if she is in our house, she can't hide her true face if she tries to pretend to be a little low."
"Huh?" Qian Jun's eyes widened.
"I don't need to tell you that I can catch her, but I always feel that there should be people around her, so it's better to put a long line to catch a big fish, but it's not good to startle the snake."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it." Qian Jun thought for a while.
Next, Wen Jin didn't know where so many female celebrity jobs came from, and Aunt Fei did one thing after another.
"Chunlan, give Aunt Fei more money for that reward, I'll take it first in the middle of the night these days."
"Princess, be careful, pay attention to rest, the slave and maid will hurry up and finish the work early." Aunt Fei smiled all over her face and stammered Wen Jin.
"You don't have to be busy, doing a good job is the first thing, Aunt Fei's skills are really good, and she has caught up with the embroidery girl in the big tailor shop in the capital."
"How can it be so good, the princess has won the award." It is always pleasant to be praised, Aunt Fei took the silver from Chunlan's hand, thanked and thanked, and left with a smile.
Seeing Aunt Fei walk out of the courtyard, Chunlan said before Wen Jin followed: "Princess Shizi, you don't need to be like this to her, you are benevolent and compassionate, but Aunt Fei will not live, if she has money in her hand, she will either treat herself or gamble, and it will soon be ruined." ”
"Haven't you heard that she was also rich back then? I'm used to spending a lot of money, and I can't change it for a while. ”
Chunlan shook her head: "Princess, you can't say that, now almost all the people in the side courtyard listen to Aunt Fei, and she seems to have become the chief steward there." ”
"And what else is it like? Then I'll find a new adoptive mother, and let her be a housekeeper mother. ”
"Princess Shizi, I don't think it's appropriate, you better take a look again." Chunlan said bitterly.
Unexpectedly, Wen Jin and Chunlan's words were somehow revealed to Aunt Fei, and she listened to it very usefully: "I, what's so great about being the head of a slave in the inner house, I want to ...... back then" She didn't continue, her face was full of indignation and unwillingness.
knows that she used to be a serious master of a rich and noble family, so no one looks at her unpleasantly, and the servants in the outer courtyard have more respect for Aunt Fei. There is a slave named Lai, less than forty years old, white and tall, handsome and elegant, he has the most blue eyes of Aunt Fei, and he also listens to Aunt Fei's words the most, called Dong Buxi, and is very obedient to her.
"Xiaoxiao, can you help me spread this on the side of the road outside the house?"
"What is this?"
"This is for our memorial service there, and I suspect that my child and his father are long gone." As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll help you, alas, natural disasters**, no one can do anything."
"Thank you, little big brother."
After a few more days, Wen Jin really asked Aunt Fei to help take care of the kitchen, and she sent someone to inform Yazi and asked her to introduce another adoptive mother over there.
Aunt Fei is more attentive than before, not only does things do well, but also takes care of all aspects, for example, she often distributes some leftovers to the neighbors in the yard, the southern Xinjiang is hot, and the cooked food can't be put away at all, rather than spoiling, it is really better to share it for everyone to eat, Wen Jin also praised her for this.
Mother Yin, the kitchen manager of the Guogong Mansion, ate the wrong thing and had a stomach, pulled out the water, and couldn't get up from the bed, so Mrs. Xiao borrowed Aunt Fei, who not only took care of Wen Jin's family's diet, but also took care of the food of the entire Xiao Mansion.
Aunt Fei saw that Mrs. Xiao and Wen Jin both had a big cat, and they gave the cat food first at every meal, and then the family started to eat, and felt that it was very wasteful, but what the master did, how could she be a subordinate who could put a gimmick?
In the evening of this day, after the cat ate the food, he lay at Wen Jin's feet, snoring and falling asleep, kicking the cat in the middle of the night, Qian Qian smiled and said: "Mother, look at you have raised the cat as a lazy pig, don't catch mice, just know how to sleep."
Wen Jin laughed, the family began to eat, the midnight was young, the food was still in the mouth and did not swallow, so he dozed off, took a nap, Wen Jin arranged the errand of the maid on duty and the servant in the yard, sent the dance out to run errands, and then picked up her son, hurriedly washed it, and put it on the bed, she was also sleepy, so she asked the next person to serve a few little masters early to sleep.
On this day, the Xiao Guogong Mansion was very quiet, not only when the master slept deeply, but even the slaves felt that this sleep was so fragrant, no one realized what was wrong, only the servants in the outer courtyard found that Aunt Fei was missing the next day.
"Hey, what about her?" Every time after eating, Aunt Fei would bring food to everyone, and the people in the courtyard would think about it.
"I don't know, she didn't manage the kitchen in the house today, it turned out that Zhang's mother is here again."
"What's going on?"
"I don't know."
People asked for a few days, and gradually got used to the days without this person, so they stopped asking.
"Where did Aunt Fei go?" Chunlan quietly asked Wen Jin, "Princess, I've been worried for so long, it turns out that you are luring the snake out of the hole." "Oh, Sister Chunlan, do you also know how to lure snakes out of the hole? It's really not a loss to be the one who follows the princess. Wuzi laughed and teased her. Chunlan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Wuzi went out when the master was eating that day, and she somewhat understood in her heart.
