Chapter 1084, each has a master
Xiao Er sent tea and snacks.
"Mama Li, does your body matter? Would you like to ask a doctor to take a look?" After Xiao Er retreated, Gonggong Wu asked, the relationship between the two of them in the palace was not bad in the past, and they also had the friendship of fellow villagers.
When I met again, I still have this affection.
The mother-in-law shook her hand and said with a wry smile: "Thank you Gonggong Wu, I am slowly getting better, I came out of the palace, I have been recuperating, and now I am a little better, but basically this is what it is now, I can live one day at a time."
Gonggong Wu knew about this, so he didn't ask much, and he didn't sprinkle salt on other people's wounds.
"Why didn't Mama Li return to her hometown?" Gonggong Wu changed the subject.
"I've been recuperating before, I bought a small courtyard, and the savings I have left in the palace for so many years are about the same, and now my illness is only slightly better, so I can go out and walk around occasionally." Mama Li smiled helplessly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the slightly hot tea entered her throat, and her face seemed to be better than just now.
"There's no one back home, so what if you go back? It's not a particularly close junior, even if you recognize you, it's just for money, and you can't even lose the last bit of coffin money, and you don't know what will happen in the end."
Mama Li sighed again.
Speaking of which, Gonggong Wu is also quite embarrassed, they serve people in the harem, make more money when they are young, and they can live well when they are old.
Those who have children and nephews will return to their hometowns when they are old, and they will have money and juniors to wait, and they will live quite well.
If there are no children and nephews, in fact, it is not much fun to return to the hometown, and Mama Li, like him, has no special relationship with the younger generations.
Mama Li is like this, will he have to be like this himself in the future?
Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel a little depressed, and the rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
Or in the future, I will also learn from Mama Li, buy a small yard in the capital to live in, and if there are suitable ones to buy two sons to raise, it can be regarded as the wish of the original parents, which gave Wu Gonggong a new idea.
Returning to his hometown, he had thought about it before, but he hesitated, the relationship between the juniors over there and him was really not close.
He originally had a brother, but he was separated when he fled, and now he doesn't know where his brother is, let alone whether his brother has descendants, and whether he has a nephew.
"And you're ...... now. What are you doing?" Gonggong Wu looked at the bamboo basket that Fang had just helped Mama Li carry into the door, which was covered with a piece of cloth, and he didn't know what was in it.
"I can't sit and eat empty, especially when I was sick before, I spent a lot of money, and this life was snatched back from the king of Hades, and now I don't have much money in my hand, so I have to eat and live, so I help people wash clothes and earn some pocket money." Mama Li said, reaching out and lifting the cover.
Inside the bamboo basket are washed and neatly folded clothes.
Such a big basket, there is really a lot of washing.
Wu Gonggong's heart is heavy, inexplicably sour, they have served their masters in the palace all their lives, and after leaving the palace, they have lived so poorly, it is really uncomfortable.
But look at it now, after being sent out of the palace after a beating, I bought a small house, and I will have to be self-reliant in the future.
The money was spent on the house and the injury.
The so-called medical treatment, both people know what it means.
"You have a lot of clothes, all from the people around you?" After holding back for a long time, Gonggong Wu held back such a sentence, no matter how pitiful he was, he couldn't help, Mama Li offended the queen's mother, and he was the queen's mother.
"It's from some families around, and there are also single officials from the yamen over there."
The mother-in-law pointed to the opposite side weakly.
This teahouse is very coincidental, just diagonally opposite the yamen, there is a lawsuit in the yamen, and the tea guests can also watch the excitement here.
Some officials live alone and don't want to do laundry, so they ask someone to help wash it, and they just need to pay some money.
Gonggong Wu's heart moved: "There is a servant on the other side who asks you to wash your clothes?"
"Yes, but not much." The mother-in-law smiled bitterly, "The people on duty in the yamen are not too rich."
In this way, Wu Gonggong understood when he was in office, just an ordinary errand, and he really didn't have much money, and it was okay to let others wash the laundry occasionally, but I am afraid it would not be possible to wash it all the time.
The purpose of Wu Gonggong to pick this teahouse is also to find out the news.
In this kind of place, there are many people who see the yamen opposite, and it is not abrupt to talk about the things of the yamen opposite, and it is more convenient to inquire about the things on the other side.
In the past few days, whenever Gonggong Wu leaves the palace, he will inevitably come here to listen to people gossip, occasionally discuss a few words, and even quietly probe for news with others.
Or other customers in the store, or the second child in the store.
The yamen is on the opposite side, and there are many topics that can be said recently, which thing is not related to the yamen? Everyone comes here for tea, and more than half of them come here to find out the news.
Wu Gonggong bought not special objects, originally not a particularly important thing, before out of the palace gate was not much, this period of time because the palace flowers and plants are changed diligently, when going out to do more things, will come here to sit.
"Did the eldest princess Minghe catch it?" Gonggong Wu asked.
"I haven't heard of it!" The mother-in-law shook her head, "Such a big thing, if you find it, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire capital, the palace should be the first to know, I am just a flat-headed little person now, where do I know this kind of thing, speaking of the eldest princess of Minghe, I really don't know what to say, such a noble identity, actually do this kind of thing!"
"Has Wang's daughter been found?" Gonggong Wu changed the topic, compared to Fang Cai's topic, this topic is not so important, and he will not send the news directly to the palace as soon as he finds it.
Wang was reprimanded, and the second lady who was handling the matter at that time invited herself into the Buddhist hall, but afterwards the queen also ordered to punish Wang's eldest lady, although she did not do it, but after all, this matter was also under her nose.
This incident originated in the inner courtyard, and now the entire Wang clan is in a mess, and everyone can't raise their heads.
The specific things, everyone said everything, and the matter of finding the daughter of the Wang family was also left to the Wang family's own clansmen, even if the second wife was not treated, it was not a big deal, and it was suppressed.
"I haven't heard of it, how can a good girl do such a thing, and put her elders somewhere! But I heard that the Wang family has a bad reputation now." The mother-in-law said that she was in the market, and naturally she also heard some rumors in the market, about the Wang family's daughter, and now she has everything to say.
Some people think that the daughter of the Wang family is too much, and Mrs. Erfang wants her to die, and she can only die, but now not only is she not dead, but she also brings the disaster to the Wang family, which humiliates the Wang family, and the unfilial piety is incomparable.
But some people think that Wang's daughter did a good job, but if she was killed, wouldn't she run away? Isn't it possible to die unjustly in vain? Mrs. Erfang was ruthless, unscrupulous in order to achieve her goals, and even pushed out a little girl to plot against the Xie family, in this case, it is not a fool to be filial......
The mother-in-law is in front of Gonggong Wu, of course, standing in front of a statement.
Loyalty and filial piety are what they should do as servants.
"The daughter of the Wang clan is indeed a little excessive." Gonggong Wu replied vaguely, this matter is not important, what matters is the next thing, "The daughter of the second room of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's mansion...... Call...... What's it called......
Gonggong Wu said in confusion, pretending not to remember, and stretched out his hand to point in the direction of the yamen, "The ...... locked inside."
"Yu Lanyan, the daughter of the second room of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion?" The mother-in-law looked at the direction of his finger, then looked back at the direction of the yamen in confusion, and asked hesitantly after thinking about it.
"Yes...... Yes, this is the one named Yu Lanyan, is she really crazy?" Gonggong Wu just remembered it and nodded again and again.
"It's crazy." Mother-in-law said.
"What do the people in the yamen say?" Gonggong Wu asked eagerly, he had heard from idlers before, and he had never heard from the officials.
In fact, there are also officials in this place who come to drink tea, and when they meet Wu Gonggong, they will not come forward, at most they will be on the side
Listening, quietly trying to find out something from the words of the servant.
The queen mother told him to pay attention to this, but everything related to Yu Lanyan had to pay attention, even if it was a little trouble.
However, Yu Lanyan's matter is not as big as Ming He's eldest princess and Wang's daughter, compared to Ming He's eldest princess's escape and Wang's daughter's disappearance, Yu Lanyan's matter has been suppressed.
Not much is said about this topic these days.
Grandpa Wu can't be too eye-catching, the progress is very average, now that he has met Mama Li, the two of them have long been familiar with each other, and it is impossible to have anything else to do when she looks like Mama Li, especially since she still lives here and has a relationship with the people in the yamen, Gonggong Wu couldn't help but cautiously mention the matter of Yu Lanyan.
Even if I believe that Mama Li will not have a problem, Gonggong Wu's mention of Yu Lanyan is also the matter of the eldest princess of Ming and the eldest princess, which is gradually led to Yu Lanyan's head.
As if he really just thought of it and said it here, he couldn't even remember Yu Lanyan's name for a while, and he had to be reminded by Mama Li before he remembered it.
"The people in the yamen...... Actually, I didn't say anything." The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment and shook her head.
She hesitated and looked at something.
"Mama Li, the two of us are also fellow villagers, when we were in the palace, although we didn't usually interact much, but we were also true friends, if there was anything, I would still help if I could, but you really couldn't help what happened at that time." Gonggong Wu said with a straight face.
This past incident is a pain in the mother-in-law's heart, and when she heard Father-in-law Wu mention it, the mother-in-law smiled bitterly: "It's all my fault, I know...... You couldn't help at the time."
"What the hell happened?" Gonggong Wu asked rhetorically.
"Nothing, in the palace...... You know, it's not that there's nothing going on, and we're fine." The mother-in-law smiled bitterly and ended the topic vaguely, obviously reluctant to say more on this matter.
Since the love between two people is mentioned, think about it, there is indeed some old love between two people.
Stretched out his hand and pointed to the yamen: "Yesterday, someone also asked about Yu Lanyan, and when I heard you ask again, I can't help but think about it a little more, and Gonggong Wu is not surprised."
