65. Mrs. Li tried Ma Chenlong
After hearing this, the lady burst into tears and said: "No matter what Jin Xiangyu and the second lady have done, but they have suffered a catastrophe, the child is innocent, you see that he has suffered so much and suffered so much, if you talk about the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, it has already been rewarded." Mrs. Li is really a bodhisattva, she can forgive anyone, and said: "The child was reincarnated into the Li family, it is no accident, the Buddha said that it is a person from the Li family." The concubine saw the old man distracted during the day several times, and knew that the old man was missing the second lady and Gong'er, and now she met with Gong'er unexpectedly, which was really a great blessing. Did the master ever think about it, I'm afraid he is really the master's child. Li Shanren was said by his wife, as if he was empowered, thinking of the words left by Xianghai when he left, thinking that there must be something strange in it. He had doubts, but he skimmed his lips and said, "What Madame said is pure nonsense! How could the old man think of her. However, if you think about it, it is not impossible. If he also has a back mountain bone in the back of his head......" Mrs. Li understood, nodded and said, "If it is really him, all the hardships of the Li family since Xin Chou are worth it." "
"However, it is also difficult to confirm whether he has a mountain bone."
"That's not easy, just touch it."
"He's not a kid anymore, how can I touch it? In the early days, when he was unconscious, you could touch him as you wanted, and now how can you touch the back of his head as a woman? "
"Don't worry, the concubine has her own arrangements."
"Madame must not act rashly, if it is self-defeating, it will lead to trouble, it is better to wait for Hai'er to come home and let him find out."
But Mrs. Li was anxious and didn't wait for Xianghai to go home, so she couldn't wait to take action.
Early the next morning, she came to the Xianghai room. Ma Chenlong had already sat up, and when he saw Mrs. Li coming in, he hurriedly got up to say hello. Mrs. Li said: "Since you came to my house, there is no decent clothes for you to wear, and the ones you take Hai'er with are the old clothes that Hai'er wore when she didn't go to Shanghai. Now that your body is almost recovered, you will have to do great things in the future, and it is too bad to dress like this, so today I specially invited the tailor to measure the size and make you two sets of fitted suits. Ma Chenlong learned from the newspaper that Chiang Kai-shek personally led the Northern Expeditionary Army to the north and occupied Hangzhou, and that the vanguard Bai Chongxi's unit had also advanced to Jiaxing, which was close to Shanghai. But he was lying in Li's house, the revolutionary fighting spirit was almost exhausted, but Wang Benhua did not have the slightest news, he was anxious, unwilling to lie down like this and wait for the revolutionary tide to come, he wanted to take the initiative to find an organization, and fight side by side with his comrades. At this time, seeing Mrs. Li say this, it was exactly what he thought, he had been out of the organization for several months due to injury, and he should also face his comrades with a new look, so he thanked him again and again and gladly agreed.
Mrs. Li made an appointment with Ah Mao in advance, and as soon as the sun shone into the courtyard, Ah Mao came, first went to see her mother-in-law, Wu Ma, and said a polite word to Wu Ma, and then came to the Xianghai room. Ma Chenlong had already removed the gauze on his cheeks and neck, and Ah Mao was really surprised when he saw Ma Chenlong's illness and ghostly appearance. Mrs. Li introduced that she was Xianghai's classmate, and her chin was broken when she was working, so her face was deformed, and now she lacks a piece of well-fitting clothes. Ah Mao was frightened by Ma Chenlong's appearance, and had already forgotten all the words that Mrs. Li had taken care of in advance, and only remembered to tailor the guests. He took out a bamboo ruler and made a gesture on Chenlong's body, and wrote down the numbers on the paper with chalk. Chen Long looked at the paper, except for a few feet and a few words, they were all symbols, and he couldn't understand anything. Ah Mao measured the length of his chest and sleeves, and he had to measure his neck. Ma Chenlong obeyed Ah Mao's instructions and squatted down slightly, Ah Mao went around behind Ma Chenlong, and took a thin rope around Ma Chenlong's neck, Mrs. Li kept signaling with her eyebrows on the side, and raised her hand to "scratch her head and make a gesture", Ah Mao reacted, tried the tightness of the two fingers between the string and the neck, and took the opportunity to touch the back of his head. Ah Mao was short, so Ma Chenlong was almost out of breath, Ma Chenlong felt that the tailor seemed to be here to kill him, and wanted to avoid it, but he was surrounded by a thin rope around his neck and couldn't move, so he had to touch him. Ah Mao touched it for a while, put down the string, measured and wrote down the size on the bamboo ruler, put away the pen and paper, and said: "I have been idle for a few days, and it can be completed in ten days." The lady said, "Don't worry, the clothes of the guests should be made carefully." So he took the clothes and gave it to him, Ah Mao took it in his hand and shook it open, inspected it and folded it up and said, "Good material, it's just right to make a suit, crisp." Chen Long thanked him again and again: "The tired master will do it as soon as possible." Ah Mao said yes, and then took his leave.
Mrs. Li sent it outside the door and asked, "How?" It turned out that Mrs. Li privately instructed Ah Mao that making clothes was a disguise, mainly to ask Ah Mao to touch the back of the guest's head for her. Just now, I saw Ah Mao touching and touching the back of Ma Chenlong's head, and I guessed that I must know it well. I didn't think that Ah Mao didn't know what the back bone was, so he said: "The guest's hair is long and thick, and it can't be touched, I don't know which bone the lady wants?" When Mrs. Li heard this, she almost fainted: "I see that you have been touching it for a long time, why is it not real?" Ah Mao said: "At the beginning, I did feel a coccyx that protruded from the back of the thigh, but then the guest raised his head, but it was gone. Mrs. Li sighed and said, "Oh, you said you touched it, but you didn't say it was true, this makes me difficult, whether there is it or not, I must find out exactly." Ah Mao didn't understand why the look behind the guest's head was important to the Li family. went home and told the lady that she knew, and the lady was also at a loss.
Mrs. Li was frustrated, and wanted to ask others to touch it, but she was always unsure, so it was better to touch it herself, so that she could be sure. Go back to the upper room and tell Li Shanren about it. Li Shanren has suffered from cough since he got a cold, and he fell in Xianghai's house two days ago, his body is not as good as before, and he can't smoke dry cigarettes, and then he was lying on the bed, listening to his wife's words, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "The opportunity is rare, fleeting, and it may be difficult to touch it with your own hands, so let's wait for Xianghai to come back." Mrs. Li didn't follow, and she had to touch it with her own hands before she would stop. Early the next morning, Mrs. Li came to the Xianghai room again, and saw Ma Chenlong sitting on the bed reading the newspaper, so she stepped forward to check his wound in a fake appearance. The lady said, not looking at the chin, but only at the back of the neck, and as she spoke, she stepped forward to the bed with her little feet, and reached out to hold his head. Ma Chenlong was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped: "Madam, please stop, let the child untie it by himself." As he spoke, he ripped off the gauze around his neck, turned around for Mrs. Li to inspect, and watched Mrs. Li's every move. As soon as Mrs. Li stretched out her hand to touch it, Ma Chenlong hurriedly turned sideways and said, "No, although Madame is an elder, men and women are not intimate, Madame should hurry up and ask her to come back, so as not to let the subordinates see the tongue in vain." Mrs. Li felt ashamed, returned to her chair, sat for a while, chatted a few more words, and said goodbye and went back to the room. When Li Shanren learned this, he persuaded his wife to stop, and said again that when Xianghai came back, he could find out, otherwise it would not be good to scare him.
