Chapter 125: Fu Wannian is back
"Slave, thank you, Third Grandma!" Chunlan solemnly kowtowed to Zhao Qing, "The third grandmother's great grace and slave are unforgettable, and she swears to die with the third grandmother in this life." β
knew that what her third grandmother lacked most was money.
Especially when they are about to die, orphans and widows, even if it is a mountain of gold, there will be a day when they sit and eat empty mountains, not to mention that they don't have a mountain of gold at all, just thinking about the days when they have no fixed place, Chunlan feels sorry for her third grandmother, but Chunlan really has no way to refuse her arrangement.
Xia Zhu was stunned, and immediately knelt down, and followed the sonorous words to show his loyalty.
Zhao Qing was stunned.
Immediately understood, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing, hurry up, hurry up, they have followed me for a while......" The words were not spoken, seeing the eager gaze in Chunlan's eyes, Zhao Qing was frightened into a cold sweat, she blurted out, "However, I can't tell them yet!" β
"Why!"
When the words came out, Chunlan realized that she had almost made a stupid mistake.
She smiled wryly, "The slave was so excited just now, I just want to tell everyone the good news quickly!" β
People always like to share joy with good friends for the first time, Chunlan's mood Zhao Qing understood, and she didn't blame, she continued to think about it, and said, "...... Gotta find someone reliable. β
Chunlan Xia Zhu also frowned.
The room fell silent.
All three suddenly raised their heads at the same time.
"Sister-in-law Liu!" Chunlan Xia Zhu said in unison.
Zhao Qing nodded, "Dongmei Qiuju is too young to be pressed. Sister-in-law Luo is more than loyal but lacks wit and timidity, and Sister-in-law Liu is calm. I've read books again, and it's only fitting that this matter is left to her. β
Chunlan also nodded, "The third grandmother intends to let them open a workshop, and only Sister-in-law Liu can hold up the faΓ§ade!" β
That's how it was settled.
Zhao Qing mentioned the old lady asking her to take Mother Wu again, "...... I was worried that she would tell the second wife. β
Mother Wu is the second wife's person, and although she is loyal to Zhao Qing, what she knows is equivalent to what the second wife knows. With the second wife's timid and fearful nature, even if she has the heart to hide it for Zhao Qing, she will inevitably show her feet in front of the eldest wife.
And Wu's mother's family is in Guyan Town. and did not enter the group to hoard food, even if the Shen family falls, it will not have much impact on her, according to Chunlan Xiazhu's meaning, it is best not to tell her.
But this is the old lady's painstaking heart.
She was afraid that a group of their little girls didn't understand anything. There must be an old man by his side.
But Zhao Qing didn't want to disobey the old lady because of these little things, and she was frightened.
I discussed it for a long time. In the end, I decided not to tell Wu's mother first, take her away directly on the day of the winter solstice, and let her come back after the child was born, just to report the safety of the old lady and the second wife.
After solving the personnel problem, the three of them discussed other things.
Xia Zhu first thought of the small clothes and bedding prepared for the child, "...... Yueniang's craftsmanship is unparalleled in ancient towns, and the small quilts she embroidered must be brought. β
"The mink jacket given by the old lady should also be brought with ......"
"And the hand stove...... At least bring two! β
"And the fine Silver Frost Carbon...... They were all bought by the people who asked the second master for the official office. Generally, the old surname can't buy it even if he has money! β
ββ¦β¦β
Chunlan Xiazhu, you say a word, I will discuss it.
Chunlan simply took a pen and paper to record.
I was wondering if I was looking for Tian's mother to ask for a map of the mountains in the tomb of the third master, and by the way, I asked her how to arrange it. As soon as Zhao Qing looked up, Chunlan Xia Zhu had already written a piece of paper, and the two carriages were not enough.
Zhao Qing was dumbfounded.
Are they talking about escaping?
How does she feel like moving?
"We don't bring anything but softness!" She interrupted the two little maidens who were discussing hotly.
Both of them were stunned at the same time.
"These are all must-haves." Chunlan glared at Zhao Qing, "The slave has tried her best to bring less, you are about to give birth......
Without these, this ice and snow, where to prepare for a while?
At that time, the child must not freeze to death.
Zhao Qing understood what she meant, but, "We are fleeing for our lives." Without waiting for her to finish, Zhao Qing waved his hand, "We must not arouse the suspicion of the eldest lady." Her voice was particularly solemn, "Only by living can we have a future." β
Chunlan Xia Zhu suddenly remembered that in order to prevent the panicked minions from taking advantage of the fire to rob and give birth to a thief, two days ago, the eldest lady added four mothers-in-law and two guards at the second gate, and everyone who went out of the house to do business had to check the package, and the two of them turned pale.
If she really can't bring anything, what kind of predicament will she face when she goes out?
Zhao Qing didn't understand this.
Willing to give, sometimes, in order to live, you have to give up without hesitation!
She quietly instructed Xia Zhu, "...... Go see if Mother Tian is there. β
His lips moved, and Xia Zhu finally went out.
Soon returned, "Tian's mother has something at home, so she temporarily took two days off to leave the house, and she will come back about the day after tomorrow." Xia Zhu said, and said, "It should be the old lady who ordered it to be arranged, right?" She looked at Zhao Qing with sparkling eyes.
I guess so.
Zhao Qing nodded, remembered something, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "There is no news from Chi Feng yet?" β
Xia Zhu said, "I should come back after counting the days." β
"If only he were there." Speaking of Chi Feng, Chunlan muttered to herself, "With Chi Feng answering, we won't have a black eye." Although she was very excited, in the face of the unknown future, Chunlan always had a trace of trepidation in her heart.
Xia Zhu sighed, "I can't bring anything, and I don't know how Mother Tian arranges it, so what are we going to do now?" β
"Sleep ......" Zhao Qing pulled the quilt and covered his head.
β¦β¦
The next day, Zhao Qing came to Rongshoutang early in the morning.
She was about to leave, and she wanted to spend more time with the old lady.
Knowing her mind, after breakfast, the old lady didn't bother to recite the scriptures, and pulled Zhao Qing straight to the big kang near the window to talk.
ββ¦β¦ The bird's nest I gave me is still eating? Looking at Zhao Qing's thin cheeks, the old lady's eyes were distressed.
With such a thin body and pregnant body, even if she escapes, will she be able to find Mr. Su smoothly?
The thought that she was about to take the child alone to live a life under the fence of exile made the old lady's heart twitch again.
"I've been eating." Seeing the old lady's worries, Zhao Qing's heart warmed, and her tone became softer, "Grandma, don't worry, I'm in good health, Sister-in-law Luo stews old hen soup for me every day." As he spoke, he pulled out a silver hairpin on his head and bent it into a circle at will, and straightened it in an instant.
The corners of the old lady's mouth twitched.
She really has the legendary strength.
What a monster.
The second wife, who was facing Zhao Qing on the side, didn't see her small movements, and saw that the old lady was so intimate with Zhao Qing, she was happy in her heart, and took the opportunity to please the old lady and said, "Don't look at her thin, Dr. Ma gave a pulse diagnosis yesterday and said that this child is fine......
As he spoke, Du Juan Xing hurriedly came in, "...... Good news, Commander Fu has returned, and the eldest master has already handed over the post. (To be continued......)
