Chapter 399: The Painting Boat Was Banged
When Governor Qi heard this, his brows tightened, "Then I can only rely on some birthmarks on my body, but I still have to thank Master Zhang." If it weren't for you, a little girl like Li Rong wouldn't be where she is today. ”
Master Zhang was modest, "No matter what, it is a life, and we were officers and soldiers at that time, and when we saw it, we couldn't help it." However, the most important thing is the Yuanqing brothers, which are really righteous and kind. ”
"His eldest son was not biological, but adopted the child of one of his soldiers. That person saved his life, and although the pension was given to the child's family, no one treated the child well. My Yuanqing brother took the child back, and after marrying his daughter-in-law, the couple raised the child. ”
"In addition to Li Rong, there are two younger children in the back, or when the Yuanqing brothers were fighting, they saw someone chasing and killing the two children, and the servants were all killed, and there were two children in the two baskets on horseback. Seeing that the child was Han Chinese, he also adopted it. ”
When the prefect of Qi heard this, he was shocked, "General Li is really righteous, and Mrs. Derui raises her children and is kind-hearted. Regardless of whether Li Rong is my niece or not, the kindness of Lord Li and Mrs. Derui is admired by my generation. ”
"That's true." Mr. Zhang should go down.
After the prefect of Qi left, Lord Zhang immediately wrote a letter and asked him to send him to the northwest to Li Yuanqing, so as to get close to him and make friends. used to have a close relationship, but they didn't get along for a long time and were abandoned.
Mrs. Qi took her daughter Qi Shuyuan to sit in the carriage, getting up a little early in the morning, and was closing her eyes on the carriage to recuperate!
"Mother, I'm so excited." Qi Shuyuan's little face was slightly red, and she was especially looking forward to Li Rong being her cousin, "There is a word Rong in the name, if Li Rong is really a cousin, how good it is, grandmother must be very happy if she knows." Raised by Mrs. Drey, and an upright and capable adoptive father. Although she used to be a farmer and lived a hard life, she didn't suffer much sin, and her grandmother felt less guilty. ”
Mrs. Qi opened her eyes and said with emotion: "Back then, your grandmother felt that she didn't pick up the child in time, so she gave the step-room of the Jinling Marquis Mansion the opportunity to deliberately lose the child. But these are all our speculations, and there is no evidence to prove that it was the hand of the stepwife Wang back then. However, the Marquis of Jinling did not take good care of the children, and it was indeed derelict in its responsibility. ”
Qi Shuyuan pursed her lips and squinted her eyes, "Anyway, the Wang family is very suspicious, so many servants follow, they can't protect a child, who will believe it?" I think she also has her own daughter, and I feel that the child in front of me is an eyesore, and she occupies the position of the eldest lady of the Jinling Marquis Mansion, and wants her cousin to make room for her daughter. ”
Mrs. Qi sighed, "Everyone thinks so, but there is no evidence. The servants were also interrogated, but they all said that they were innocent, and no one climbed the Wang family. So far, those who serve your cousin are still confined to Zhuangzi, if Miss Li Rong is your cousin, that's it. If not, when Miss Li Rong passes through Jinling, I will have to ask her for a favor. Let those servants see Li Rong, pretend to be your cousin, and interrogate those servants again. ”
Qi Shuyuan nodded, thinking that this method was good, "Mother makes sense. ”
The mother and daughter were anxious and asked the coachman to hurry up.
As soon as the carriage was fast, the people sitting in the carriage were dizzy and dizzy, as if they had fallen apart, but in order to reach Yangzhou quickly, the mother and daughter endured it.
Finally arrived in Yangzhou on the morning of the third day, and Mrs. Qi had already sent guards to Yangzhou to inquire where the Gu family's caravan had settled.
Now in Yangzhou, Mrs. Qi and her daughter Qi Shuyuan went straight to the inn where Liu Paner and others stayed. It's just that Liu Paner is still playing in Slender West Lake with her daughter today, and she hasn't come back yet.
"Mother, do you want someone to go to Mrs. Drey?" Qi Shuyuan asked, she couldn't wait.
"No, let's stay at the inn now, as long as we catch up, we can see you in the afternoon, and it's not too late to talk about it then." What's more, we were in a hurry and didn't have a good rest. Take an early break while there's still some time. Mrs. Qi thought about it and pressed her excitement.
Fortunately, someone in this inn had just checked out, and Mrs. Qi had made a reservation, and the shopkeeper and the servants of the Qi family went to clean it together, so Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi moved in.
Liu Paner took the three girls to rent a painting boat and play on the lake. Although it was summer, it was quite cool on the lake, with a gentle breeze.
Li Nan was lying on the side of the boat at this time, pointing to the fish swimming around in the lake, and exclaimed, "Mother, come and see the fish, there are a lot!" ”
Liu Pan'er stood behind Li Nan and pulled her clothes, "Anan, be careful, you won't be able to water, you can drink enough if you fall." ”
Li Nan took two steps back, "Mother, I'll take a look, it doesn't matter." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Paner felt a violent vibration in the painting boat, she quickly stabilized her figure, and saw that the little chubby girl Li Nan was about to roll into the water, so she quickly grabbed Li Nan.
Li Fang and Li Rong were inside the painting boat, sitting by the window and enjoying the scenery outside, even if the boat was hit, they only had their heads on the window lattice, and it was not a big problem.
In order to catch Li Nan, Liu Pan'er knocked her knees on the boat, but fortunately, Liu Pan'er's strength was strong, so Li Nan didn't roll into the lake.
Li Nan was so frightened that she cried, Liu Paner sat on the boat with Li Nan in her arms, and comforted Li Nan, "Anan, don't cry, it's okay." ”
Huo Chengda and Tang Yunshan were on the other side of the boat in order to avoid suspicion.
At this time, I heard Li Nan's cry, and hurriedly came over to check, and saw Mrs. and Miss sitting on the boat.
Huo Chengda saw that they didn't fall into the water, so he turned his head to look to the right, and it turned out that a painting boat had crashed into it.
"Who are you? Hit our boat! Huo Chengda scolded, "If you don't come out to apologize, don't blame us for being polite." ”
At this time, Mrs. Zheng came out of the painting boat with the maid and the maid, with an apologetic face on her face, but her eyes were very excited, "What a sin, accidentally bumped into your boat!" I also ask Mrs. Drey's forgiveness. ”
Liu Paner originally thought that someone else had hit her by mistake, but now when she saw Mrs. Zheng, she knew that it was Mrs. Zheng's intention.
If she hadn't hugged Li Nan just now, Li Nan would have fallen into the lake a long time ago. Although it was summer, Li Nan couldn't swim and would drink a few sips of lake water.
Liu Paner handed over the crying Li Nan to Li Fang and Li Rong who ran out of the cabin, "Look good about Anan." ”
Li Fang looked at Mrs. Zheng in the boat next door with resentment, "The cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion, I used to think that the officials and wives were all virtuous, but now it seems that they are like rats in the gutter, poisonous!" ”
Mrs. Zheng's original guilty expression suddenly darkened her face after hearing Li Fang's words, "Where did you come from, the hairy girl dared to say this about me, and she was not afraid of the wind flashing her tongue." ”
Li Rong sneered, "Bullying people, so arrogant, does your Lord Zheng know?" ”
