Chapter 27: Igniting the fighting spirit
Mao Tongtong didn't respond to her, and muttered to herself: "I don't know where E-Niang went?" ”
When Lotus heard this, she felt a little uncomfortable. If the lady saw that the girl was so tired, she was afraid that she would feel distressed.
At this time, Chen was on the carriage to Tianjin, his eyes were red and swollen, and he had obviously been crying all the way.
Before leaving Yangzhou, she also discussed with Mao Chengyun, saying that she planned to stay in the capital for a month, and then go back when Mao Tongtong got used to it. At that time, Mao Chengyun also agreed, and said that she should stay as long as possible and accompany Mao Tongtong a lot.
But she suddenly changed her mind, and decided to go around in just a few days. First, because he was afraid that he would accompany him there, Mao Tongtong would not be able to help but complain about his grievances, and he would not be able to learn the rules well. Second, she saw that it was not easy for her younger brother to support this family in the capital, and she didn't want to add too much burden to him.
As for her saying that she had already made an appointment with Mrs. Zhang to return time, it was pure nonsense! However, she heard Mrs. Zhang say that although she will not return to Yangzhou for a short time, their family's merchant ship will return in five days. So she wasn't afraid that she would go to Tianjin Port and have no boat to go back.
It's just that as the carriage gets farther and farther away from the capital, she feels more and more uncomfortable. Mao Tongtong has grown so big since she was born, and it is the first time she has left her alone! Thinking that she would not see her baby daughter for a whole year, the tears she had endured for many days finally flowed out.
At this time, Chen didn't know that this parting would be a long time she couldn't imagine.
Mama Wu didn't think about Mao Tongtong's tea and dinner, and she was distressed and anxious. The girl is her grandmother, just like her own. The lady had just left, and the girl was like this, which was really worrying.
"If the girl has no appetite, she should sleep first. After a while, when the girl wakes up, the old slave will heat up these dishes for you. Mama Wu persuaded: "It's only the first day that the lady leaves, so don't spoil your own body." If you let Madame know, you should be worried. ”
Mama Wu's words, Mao Tongtong can still listen to some of them. Although she didn't eat Mama Wu's milk a long time ago when she came over. But this grandmother's love for her is true.
"Don't worry, Mama, I've never been so tired, so I can't stand it." Mao Tongtong smiled reluctantly and said, "You don't know me yet, no matter how big the matter is, it can't delay me from eating." When I get my better, I'm sure I'll have an appetite! ”
Mama Wu smiled at this time: "Since the girl said so, the old slave will not break his mouth." ”
This will work, and the hot water of the peach blossoms will also be brought. Lotus hurriedly knelt down and took off Mao Tongtong's shoes and waited for her to soak her feet.
The soreness of the feet soaked in the hot water, and suddenly there was a tingling sensation flowing from the soles of the feet to the whole body. Mao Tongtong couldn't help but moan in comfort.
"The girl's feet are a little swollen." Peach Blossom said while massaging her: "It seems that the girl is not suitable for these flower pot bottom shoes, and I am afraid that she will suffer in the next few days." It takes this period of adaptation to get past that. ”
Mao Tongtong half-leaned on the back of the chair, squinted and said: "I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have been lazy when I was in Yangzhou, and I wouldn't have worn it a few more times, so I wouldn't be so uncomfortable today." You will call me half an hour earlier, and I will practice a little, so as not to be beaten again when Mama Ai checks up at night! ”
"Ah, by the way, the girl's hands should be warmed too!" Lotus hurriedly said: "Today's girl has been beaten several times!" ”
"Mama Ai still beats people?" Mama Wu immediately frowned.
Although the official position of the lord is not high, he is also an official master. The girl is a concubine again, and I don't know how favored she is at home! Not to mention being beaten, even if there is a slight bump on weekdays, it will be distressed for a long time!
"Don't listen to what the lotus flower says so scary!" Mao Tongtong hurriedly comforted a few people: "Don't look at Mama Ai's scary posture, in fact, the fight is not heavy at all!" She's just giving us a wake-up call and let's remember it for a long time! ”
"The girl held out her hand and showed it to us!" Lotus Road.
"Look, just see!" Mao Tongtong stretched out his hand very happily and put it in front of Lotus and Mama Wu for them to look at it carefully, "You don't believe me!" Look, isn't it okay? Not even red. ”
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the lotus said: "The slave and maid looked at Mama Ai's energetic appearance at that time!" I didn't expect it to be just scary! ”
"She's calling it psychological pressure on us! It doesn't hurt, but it's also embarrassing! It's so big, and you have to be beaten in the palm of your hand! So, I'd rather practice more privately by myself than be disciplined anymore! ”
"The girl's competitiveness is still so strong!" Mama Wu laughed.
"You can't embarrass Ama and Eniang!" Mao Tongtong raised his fist, looking full of energy!
Now the lotus and peach blossoms also laughed. Seeing the girls rejuvenated, they can also rest assured!
After soaking his feet, Mao Tongtong fell asleep on the bed. By the time she woke up again, she was already in good spirits. Mama Wu hurriedly took the noon meal and heated it up on the small stove in the house. Mao Tongtong had a great appetite and ate three bowls before putting the chopsticks. I was stunned and practiced walking for another quarter of an hour before the writing class.
"Girl, let's change your shoes and go to class." Peach Blossom brought the embroidered shoes that Mao Tongtong usually wears.
Mao Tongtong waved his hand and said, "No!" From this day on, my old shoes are put away and I will wear this flower pot bottom! I still don't believe it, I've been wearing it for a year, and I can't walk well? ”
"That's so tiring!" Peach Blossom couldn't bear to say: "The slaves don't believe that the ladies in the palace also wear them every day?" ”
"It's the stupidest way to do it. Since I have a poor foundation, I always have to pay more than others. Besides, the three of them learn the rules together, if I keep dragging my feet, I always let the two of them wait for me, for a long time, not to mention that they have opinions, I will be embarrassed myself. Mao Tongtong said.
The lotus flower was also unbearable, but she did not persuade. My own girl has always said that she is the same, and it is difficult to change what she has made up her mind.
Mama Wu nodded in agreement and said, "The old slave thinks that the girl's method is very good. If you get used to it, you will be able to walk naturally. But according to the girl's way of wearing, let's make a few more pairs, so that we can change the girl's feet. ”
"With Mama here, I won't worry about it!" Mao Tongtong said to Mama Wu with a smile. She makes shoes top-notch. It is said that from the first day Mao Tongtong was born to wear shoes, it was Mama Wu who made shoes. Now she is fourteen years old, and she has been wearing shoes made by Mama Wu for fourteen years. At least, with her experience of more than three years after she wore it, the shoes made by Mama Wu are really comfortable to wear, as if they are on her feet, and they fit very well.
"The old slave is happy to serve!" Mama Wu said with a smile.
Mao Tongtong wore the bottom of the flower pot and set off with lotus flowers.
As soon as I went out, I saw that Chen Ruzhu and Chen Ruyu also walked out with their maids.
