Chapter 23: What the hell is your name?
All kinds of things flashed in front of me that day.
It was a rainy late autumn, and Xiao Duan's had been sick for half a year, and seeing that winter was about to begin, he couldn't stand the cold weather more and more.
The third uncle also lost a lot of weight, and his sideburns were all gray hair, and together with the fourth uncle, he tried to get some planks and tiles back, so that the broken roof could be repaired.
The uncles and mothers are also sick and weak, but the two younger brothers have grown up and can help the family share some of it.
Lin Yunyan went to visit them.
Chen wiped his tears and whispered: "The old lady has enjoyed the glory and wealth all her life, but in the last days, she can't even light a charcoal basin, I have been in charge of the Lin family for so many years, and there are so many silver coins in and out of the public school, where do I want to get one day, the silver money I handle is not as good as my reward for a month." ”
The more you are in charge, the more you know the suffering of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
And what made Chen breathe a sigh of relief was the silver money quietly sent over by the two maids who had been released before.
"The old lady is generous, so she has good karma," Chen sighed with relief, "If we hadn't treated them well before, and we were in trouble, they wouldn't have come to help them secretly." The old lady's medicine money for these two months can be regarded as settled. ”
Mama Ruan fell her leg a few days ago and had difficulty walking.
Qingyan took the initiative to ask Ying to grab the medicine.
Ten taels of broken silver, it doesn't look much, but it's very heavy.
Mama Ruan was afraid that someone would rob her, so she asked Qingyan to stuff it into her purse, and then hung it in her clothes, and told her thousands of instructions.
I didn't come back until it was dark.
The fourth uncle went to the pharmacy, and the doctor sitting in the hall and the medicine boy who prepared the medicine all said that they had never seen anyone.
Lin Yunyan borrowed Shenchen to help, and asked around the streets and alleys, and several people were a little handful, and they all pointed to the gate of Xicheng.
Qingyan went out of the city.
Where do I need to go out of town to buy medicine?
Mama Ruan didn't believe it, and when it was dawn the next day, she dragged her injured leg to the city gate to ask, saying that her niece was lost.
The guards at the gate saw that she was pitiful, and recalled, and the woman hurried out of the city.
What Qingyan took away was not only the money for buying medicine, but also the breath in Xiao Duan's heart.
The family business failed, and the defeat was in the imperial power, which was not her personal fault.
How many noble hairpins have been honored throughout the ages, and in the end they all ended up like this.
But she always remembered that she was kind to others in her life, and it is true that there were times when she was stabbed, but everyone around her worked together.
Chen's words were also what Xiao Duan thought.
But Qingyan proved that the relationship between kindness and betrayal is not so close.
There are some people, no matter how good they are, they still fly separately when disaster comes.
For most of the next half a month, Lin Yunyan also tried to find Qingyan.
It's not that she doesn't want to accept the facts, but if they can prove that Qingyan's disappearance has another hidden secret, at least it can make Xiao Duan's heart feel more comfortable.
As a result, of course, it backfired.
Xiao Duan walked in pain.
She knew that she would definitely not survive the winter, and she would not allow her juniors to spend another penny for her.
The old lady, who has been thin-skinned all her life and puts her own dignity and the dignity of her family in the first place, went crazy before she died and did not let her children and grandchildren be filial to her.
She has become a dead old woman who is difficult to serve everyone in the neighborhood, in order to let her children and grandchildren bear less of the infamy of "unfilial piety".
Smash the medicine bowl, smash the rice bowl, and drink a few sips of water at most.
After smashing it a few times, she didn't dare to buy medicine anymore and prepare food for her again.
It was precisely because he walked so resolutely that his father knelt in front of his grandmother's bed that he was so sad and angry.
And that scene, after so many years, is still deeply rooted in Lin Yunyan's mind.
On the side, Mama Ruan and Mama Cen exchanged glances with each other.
The county lord made a sudden attack, and they didn't understand the ins and outs.
Mama Ruan was a little better, because the old lady wanted Gao An to do something, she knew that the masters were discussing business behind closed doors, but it was limited to that.
The county lord asked Qingyan those words, but they didn't know it.
Since the old lady wants Qingyan to speak, of course the grandmothers obey the orders, so you mentioned the afternoon matter in one word, and I mentioned the afternoon matter one word.
But now, the county lord's expression didn't look right.
The anger was full of sadness, and the grievances and sorrows were clearly written on his face.
When has the county lord ever shown such emotions in front of people?
When people look at it, they can't help but feel distressed!
Mama Cen and Mama Ruan had a lawsuit, waved their hands secretly, turned around and went out, and went straight to the house where Qingyan lived.
The atmosphere in the main room was solemn, and the rest of the people had long since avoided it.
At this moment, several people in the same room with Qingyan were standing in the corner with their necks bent, not daring to look at Mama Cen.
Mama Cen asked, "Where does Qingyan keep her money on weekdays?" ”
Qingling pointed to the small wooden box on the inside of the bed.
Mama Cen climbed up and took a look, and there was nothing wrong with it.
She had no choice but to rummage through Qingyan's clothes again.
Seeing this, Qingling's heart moved: "Mother Cen, did Qingyan bring something in before the evening that shouldn't have been brought in?" ”
Mama Cen turned her head and asked, "You saw it?" ”
"I didn't see it," Qingling said, "I went into the house and saw her crawling out from under the bed, and she was shocked when she saw me." ”
Mama Cen narrowed her eyes.
Let Qingling light a candle to shine, Mama Cen bent down and pulled out a small cloth bag from the deepest corner.
When she opened it, Mama Cen sneered.
Then, she picked up the cloth bag, strode back to the main room, and put it directly on the few sons beside Xiao Duan.
Bang.
Mama Cen is also light-hearted, but things are too heavy.
Xiao Duan's fixed eyes on a golden hairpin, a pair of Nanzhu earrings, more than a dozen small silver bills, the largest of which were two silver ingots.
The word can still be said to be a daily reward, accumulating a lot, and Xiao Duan's can't remember how much he rewarded in the past, but the silver ingot, she rewarded five taels of silver ingots last time or her daughter came to see her with her granddaughter who was full of 100 days, and that was five years ago!
And the golden hairpin and earrings are not the two pieces she lost at the beginning of spring?
"Turned out under the bed." Mama Cen said.
Xiao Duan's eyes were gloomy: "The maid next to me is like this, I'm very disappointed, you took her down and sold her far away, right?" ”
Mama Cen and Mama Ruan immediately came up to drag people.
Lin Yunyan stretched out her hand and shook the silver ingot: "Don't you reprimand?" ”
Xiao Duan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Lin Yunyan was not surprised by this.
Grandmother's mouth has never said anything bad, let her scold, dirty, not dirty, she won't.
It's not a big deal to scold the maid who can't betray the master, what grandmother should learn the most is to scold the shameless Xu Guogongfu.
It seems that I have to give my grandmother more tutoring.
In the courtyard, Qingyan, who was confused by her vigorous and resolute actions, finally came back to her senses and struggled hard.
"I didn't make it up, the words were all spoken by the county lord himself. I will only be sympathetic to the second lady...... Woooooo ”
Mama Cen shook her hand and stabbed the handkerchief that had just been stuffed into Qingyan's mouth a little deeper.
"You stole the things, you took the silver," Mama Cen was angry, "What the hell is your name!" ”
