Chapter 144: I can't sleep without you
In a side hall of the palace, Li Yu leaned on a soft couch, held a tea cup lightly with his fingers, and mocked slightly: "When you are tired, there is an extra pillow behind you, and when you are thirsty, someone will bring a few cups of tea, and it is naturally a good thing to think that you can do it." ”
The little eunuch in front of her lowered his head, where did he dare to answer.
Li Yu is the biological daughter of the former queen, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, she is smart and sensible, she doesn't know how much she has been favored, and because she married far away from the grassland, she has been more respected by the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and many people in the court and the opposition have valued her very much over the years, so no matter what news there is inside and outside the palace, she can always know it at the first time.
"What else did the queen say?"
The little eunuch still didn't dare to raise his head, and said softly: "Niangniang said that she would support Mrs. Zeng Jing's recognition of her daughter, but since Sang Sang has served Ning Que for many years, he has his own feelings, so the University Scholar's Mansion must not cut off this affection in a rash manner." ”
Hearing this, Li Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, remembering the rift that had arisen with that person when he stood up by the fire at the Beishan Road Pass, he felt some anger for no reason, and said in a cold voice: "It took me two years to have some affection with that pair of masters and servants, and you actually want to snatch this affection away with a kiss for some reason?"
The little eunuch became more and more afraid to get up, knelt in front of the couch and kowtowed repeatedly.
Li Yu was silent for a long time and asked, "Are you sure that Sang Sang is really the young lady of the Bachelor's Mansion?"
The little eunuch responded: "Looking at the expression of the scholar's wife, ninety percent of it is true. ”
"But what credentials?"
"The little ones don't know. ”
Li Yu waved his hand to signal him to retreat, and stayed in the hall to look at the intricate and beautiful ornaments on the sorghum in a daze for a long time, she knew very well that her previous anger came from powerlessness, so she leaned on the soft couch and looked a little tired.
When she first called Sang Sang into the princess's mansion to play, Ning Que was just a down-and-out scholar in Lane 47, and this kind of interaction naturally did not have any utilitarian factors, but as Ning Que gradually made his fortune in Chang'an City, until he became a personal disciple of the master, he began to walk the world on behalf of the academy, and it was even foreseeable that he could affect the inheritance of the Tang Dynasty imperial power in the future, and this kind of interaction naturally began to have some other meanings.
Li Yu felt that his response was very correct, and occasionally remembered the acquaintance with the little maid, and even felt that there was an invisible hand in the dark to help him and the emperor's brother, but who would have thought that at this moment, Sang Sang suddenly became Zeng Jing's daughter, and Zeng Jing was a loyal dog of that woman!
If Sang Sang was really the baby girl in the university scholar's mansion back then, how could the natural blood relationship between her and Zeng Jing and his wife be love, and there was such an inseparable relationship...... In the future, if it is really time to win the heir, how will Ning Que choose? As soon as he thought of this, Li Yu felt a little dazed, and his heart was full of frustration of being abandoned by Haotian.
In the old pen house of Lane 47.
"The steward who had a lot of knives back then...... Taking advantage of the fact that the old man was not paying attention, and I was half-asleep at the time, I stole you out of the general doctor's mansion and sold you to a trafficker, and now it seems that the trafficker probably wanted to take you to another county to sell, but somehow chose Hebei County, and he was too busy to take care of himself early in the morning, so he threw you in the wild. ”
Mrs. Zeng Jing looked at Sang Sang with tears in her eyes, and wanted to reach out to hold her little hand, but looking at the big rag she was holding tightly in her hand, she was worried that she would not want to...... I had to nervously wring my fingers and look at each other with a look of anticipation.
Sang Sang looked down at the toe of his cotton skirt and said softly, "It sounds like it makes sense." ”
Mrs. Zeng Jing hurriedly said: "Yes, of course you can, child, are you willing to believe that I am your mother now, right?"
Sang Sang was silent for a moment and then raised his head and asked seriously, "And then?"
Mrs. Zeng Jing was slightly stunned, and then said with love: "Of course, you will go back to the university with us...... There is your real home, your boudoir I have ordered someone to prepare, the maids have also been prepared, if you don't like the old ones in the house, I will let the tooth shop take the little girls into the house tomorrow to pick for you. ”
Sang Sang frowned slightly...... Because I don't know how to express my feelings at this time, I seem a little indifferent.
Scholar Zeng Jing has been silently watching the picture of the mother and daughter recognizing each other, although he is indeed quite happy in his heart...... But after all, he has children with his ex-wife, so he is not as excited as his wife. Especially looking at Sangsang's slightly dark face, he could easily think of that bloody day and the things that happened next.
Although he was blessed by misfortune, he still didn't like this memory very much, and as a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty, he always had to pay attention to an ethical generation, and he was a little unhappy when he saw Sang Sang looking so indifferent in front of his wife.
He said in an unquestionable tone: "Go and pack your luggage, it's okay, I think you have nothing to pack up when you wander and suffer all these years, go back to the house with us directly, as for the household registration matter, I will let the Chang'an Mansion handle it, and Ning Que will ask the old man to say it, there will be no problem." ”
Sang Sang thought to himself that the young master and I had hidden so many silver tickets over the years, how could it not be worth packing?
Then she lowered her head again, looked at the toe of the cotton skirt and was silent, and there was a look of bewilderment written on her slightly dark face, because the feelings in her heart at this time were indeed a little dazed.
Sang Sang once imagined what kind of people his parents would be, but it was just a natural association after watching other people's children have parents, and I don't know if Ning Que, the guardian, is too competent, or the little maid has too few requirements for this world, she has never envied others for having parents.
The first person she opened her eyes to see Bei in this world was Ning Que, who had been living with Ning Que all these years, and it could even be said that there was only Ning Que in her life, no one else, and she was no longer used to having someone else's save, but today she found that she had parents. According to the secular habits she understands, her parents should be the closest people, even closer than Ning Que, so isn't that equivalent to saying that Ning Que has become someone else now?
Finding his biological parents should have been a very happy thing, but when Sang Sang thought that his life with Ning Que no longer seemed to be as good as before, he didn't know where he had gone.
On the contrary, she was very uncomfortable, and even had a strong sense of resistance, so she shook her head gently.
Mrs. Zeng Jing was slightly stunned, and then she understood what she meant, and she couldn't believe her eyes. Zeng Jing's face suddenly became even more stern, and he couldn't understand that someone dared to rebel so much as to deny his parents.
Mrs. Zeng Jing saw his face and knew that he was going to be angry, so she hurriedly stopped in front of him, smiled at Sang Sang and said in a harmonious voice: "I know that this matter is too sudden, it will be difficult for you to accept it for a while, otherwise you will go back to the house with us first...... How about we think you are a righteous daughter? I believe that as long as you stay here for a long time, you will be able to believe that I am your mother. ”
Sang Sang looked at her and suddenly smiled and said, "I know you will be good to me. ”
Mrs. Zeng Jing looked at the sincere smile on her little face, her heart was about to melt, she reached out to remove the big rag she had been holding in the palm of her hand, took her hand and said with love: "Then will you come with us?"
Sangsang still shook his head.
Mrs. Zeng Jing was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
Sang Sang said: "Because the young master has not come back yet, when the young master comes back, I will ask him what to do, if he thinks that you are really my parents, then I will naturally recognize you...... I'll see you more often when the time comes. ”
Mrs. Zeng Jing heard something else from her words, and repeated in amazement: "How often do you go to see us?"
Sang Sang said: "Even if we know each other, I still have to live in the shop." ”
Mrs. Zeng Jing was surprised and asked, "Why?"
Sang Sang looked at her and replied seriously: "Ning Que has become a lot lazy over the years...... There are a lot of things I don't want to do and probably won't do, so I have to cook and do laundry, and mop the floor and wipe the table...... Sometimes the housekeepers came to steal the waste paper, and I had to take a broom to drive them away, and there was really no way to spend the night in the Bachelor's House. ”
Zeng Jing and his wife were stunned, and they couldn't understand at all that a little maid who was tired of being a cow and a horse, after learning that she was the daughter of the university scholar's mansion and flew up to the branch and became a young phoenix, she did not cry bitterly and threw herself into their arms, but was bent on staying in the evil master's house to take care of the lazy young master's affairs...... What kind of spell did that guy named Ning Que cast...... How could you let your daughter say such a thing?
Sang Sang continued: "And Ning Que sometimes thinks too much about things and will not sleep well, only by holding me to sleep, and sometimes I feel too cold and like to sleep with him, so if we are separated, I will not sleep well." ”
Zeng Jing and his wife glanced at each other and saw the shock and suspicion in each other's eyes...... I thought to myself, could it be that my daughter has been a little maid for Ning Que all these years, and something has happened between the two? But Sang Sang is still young...... And it doesn't look like it.
The door of the old pen was pushed open from the outside.
Sang Sang knew the day when Ning Que would come back, so he knew that it was definitely not him.
Chen Pipi crossed the threshold with difficulty, rubbed his tired round cheeks, looked at the situation in the shop, and said, "Are you in trouble here?" ”
Sangsang explained: "It's not a trouble...... You don't have to play anymore. ”
Chen Pipi said: "Then let's play a game of chess." ”
Sang Sang smiled apologetically at Zeng Jing and his wife.
Just when Zeng Jing and his wife left Lao Bizhai in a bit of a daze, a simple carriage drove into the east gate of Chang'an City...... There was a lot of warblers and swallows around the carriage, but it was Ning Que and his party who came back a few days in advance.
Outside Tuyang City, their carriage met with the disciples of Mochi Garden, and then headed south together, and today these girls from the Great River Country finally saw their long-famous Tianxia Xiongcheng, and naturally they were inevitably excited.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted in a corner, and Mo Shanshan, who was dressed in a white dress, squinted slightly and looked at the scenery and characters in Chang'an City, with a faint smile on her slightly round beautiful face, and it could be seen that she was also very happy.
Senior Brother rubbed his back, which was shocked to some soreness on the way, looked at Ning Que who was full of anticipation and excitement, and asked with a bitter smile, "Little Senior Brother, why are you so anxious to go back to Chang'an?"
Ning Que said seriously: "Say it, senior brother, don't make fun of me, although I don't have the quirk of choosing a bed, but as long as I leave home, I can't sleep well, so I'm in a hurry to go home and sleep well." ”
Even if they are affectionate fellow brothers, they are still afraid of being teased by the other party, so Ning Que's words are not entirely true, only he knows the real reason why he can't sleep well and is in a hurry to return to Chang'an City.
If you are not in Lao Bizhai, there is no one to wash your feet, no one to cook omelet noodles, no one to hand over toothbrush, no one to giggle with you, no one to grieve with you, no Sangsang, and he can't do without Sangsang.
