Chapter 4 Stealing Out of the House
Xun Xiang heard this voice, it was the girl of the West Cross Courtyard, that is, Li's mother's subordinate.
Li's mother said, "No, my sister is hungry, just eat enough." It's getting late, so you can rest. ”
"Oh."
The footsteps were far away.
Xun Xiang was indignant and continued to cry.
Another string of footsteps came, "Why is my sister crying so much?" ”
The voice is quite majestic, it is the steward of the main courtyard, Mama Yan.
Mother Li's attitude suddenly improved, and she said with a smile, "Sister is fine, she likes to look for me during the day and Xia Er's family at night." Ouch, for some reason, a rash suddenly appeared on Xia Erjia's face. She didn't dare to come to serve her sister, so she rested in the house. ”
Mama Yan was surprised, "Xia Er's family has a rash?" Why didn't you say it earlier, sister, we'll be guilty of being sick. ”
Mama Li said, "I was just about to tell you." Fortunately, I was breastfeeding during the day, otherwise my sister would be in danger. ”
As she spoke, she wiped Xun Xiang's tears with a handkerchief, and pressed Xun Xiang's nose again. It was supposed to be used tomorrow morning, but Dead Nizi cried non-stop, and she had to use it in advance.
Xun Xiang was extremely sleepy and had no strength to cry. She knew that the veil was given to this evil slave by Granny Ho.
The master stopped crying, and Mama Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He also said, "Ming'er asked Xia Er's family to go out of the house early in the morning to recuperate, and she was not allowed to come close to her sister again." No, I'll arrange for her to leave. ”
The footsteps were getting farther away, Xun Xiang couldn't be in a hurry, and fell asleep.
I slept soundly and didn't wake up the next morning.
At the end of the day, Mama He carried a wooden box with a lid to the west courtyard of Qijin Hall in Princess Dongyang's mansion.
When she was in Xunfu, she gave Sister Feng medicine, and she would stay asleep, and she would wake up at night, and she would have a rash at night.
In order not to let people find out the clues, the box is round, although it is relatively large, it cannot be wrapped, and the child has to huddle in it. Fortunately, the milk doll is soft and sleeps deeply.
Mama He couldn't show the weight of the box, and felt very easy to carry.
She walked away with her eyes down, her appearance as usual. Only she knew how uncomfortable and nervous she was at this time, sweating a lot on her back, in her hair, on the tip of her nose, and in her palms.
She was afraid that the box would suddenly fall if she didn't grasp it steadily, and that a vicious dog or a person would suddenly rush out and knock her down and knock the child out......
The little girl who opened the door knew her and said with a smile, "Mama He came to find Mother Li?" ”
"Yes, Mother Li said yesterday that the cloth is soft and suitable for making diapers for my sister, so my eldest lady asked me to send some more."
As she spoke, Mama He stuffed a purse into the little girl's hand.
The little girl rarely received a reward, and happily invited Mama He in.
Qijintang was very quiet, only two birds murmured from the trees.
Mama He went straight to the West Cross Courtyard.
Mother Li was anxiously pacing back and forth in the house.
Just now, she hugged the sleeping Xun Xiang to her chest, lifted her clothes and pretended to breastfeed, and went to walk around the hall, deliberately letting the girls see it.
After "feeding" the milk, let the girl come in with a basin of warm water, and sent two second-class girls to the sewing room with a few plain rulers to make clothes and hats for my sister.
also said, "The Queen Mother is a lady, and she has to wear plain clothes for a year." The clothes I made for my sister before were all a little gorgeous, so I had to make a few more sets of plain ones. My sister's status is noble, and I still have to embroider some flowers......"
In the little master's bedroom, only the big girl and the second-class girl are eligible to come in. The eldest girl, Mei Ju, was sick and asked for leave to go home in the morning.
Finally waited for Mama He to come in, and she hurriedly closed the door.
The two came to the bedroom, put the box on the bed, and took Xun Feng out from inside.
Xun Feng was wearing Xun Xiang's clothes and wearing Xun Xiang's hat, and slept soundly. This set of clothes was taken back by Mama He yesterday.
Mother Li put a small gold bracelet inlaid with kitten eyes and small Nanzhu for Xun Feng to wear. The small bracelet was given by the queen, and Princess Dongyang personally put it on Xun Xiang's wrist yesterday morning.
Looking down and smelling it again, Xun Feng's body did exude a faint fragrance, which was roughly similar to the smell of Xun Xiang's body.
Mama He stuffed Xunxiang into the box. She didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of waking Xun Xiang up.
Mama He closed the lid, and Mother Li wrapped Xun Feng in a quilt and put it on the bed, and the two looked at each other, not in a relaxed mood.
To successfully send Xun Xiang to Mrs. Xun, Sister Xun has a rash on her face, and they can basically complete the task.
The two had no intention of talking, and after being silent for a while, Mama He picked up the box and walked out of Qijin Hall.
I was more apprehensive when I went back than when I came.
Finally got into the carriage smoothly, and the carriage slowly drove out of the princess's mansion, and Mama He wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeve and exhaled a long breath.
Lifting the corner of the curtain, she retracted her gaze and looked at the wooden box when she saw the vermilion door with its green bronze knocker and forty-five large copper nails nailed far behind.
Xiao Nizi was fascinated and never cried. It's better to sleep until the night and die directly.
She silently recited the Buddha. There is a wrong, there is a debtor, if you want to hate, hate your own grandmother who died early, who made her offend the eldest lady. From then on, all your riches will be enjoyed by the granddaughter of the eldest lady.
Sister Feng'er's life is really good. No wonder it took this name, but it didn't become a phoenix.
Mama He sighed, and her heart went up and down. She didn't want to do this, if she was discovered, if she didn't talk about her old life, her family would be ruined. But the master asked her to do it, how dare she not do it......
The carriage drove into Yinfeng Street, the road was not wide, and the shouting on both sides came and went.
Suddenly, the neighing of horses and the screams of people were heard in front.
The coachman was He Shun, Mama He's nephew, and exclaimed, "Second aunt, the front is shocked." ”
He got out of the car and pulled his horse to the side, but there were many people on the roadside, and he couldn't get over. The horse screamed and stood still.
Mama He had to get out of the car with the box.
A horse-drawn carriage ran towards it, scraping over the roadside stalls, and people screaming and fleeing in all directions.
In the crowding, the wooden box in Mama He's hand was squeezed off the ground, and people were also squeezed forward by the flow of people. She wanted to turn around and pick up the box, but she was too old and frail to squeeze anyone else.
She was so shocked that she turned around and shouted, "He Shun, carry the wooden box, that's what the eldest lady wants." ”
Out of fear, the shouts were terrifying, as if someone was trying to kill her.
He Shun didn't know what was in the box, but seeing that Mama He was so scared, it must be important to know what was in the box.
He ignored the carriage and went on a rampage into the crowd. He was tall and big, and he desperately pushed the people next to him away. Fortunately, people are not at the top, and he didn't step on the box, so he picked up the wooden box and walked forward with the flow of people.
also shouted loudly to Mama He, who was being coerced by the crowd, "Second aunt, the box has been picked up." ”
The box in Ding Zhao's hand was also squeezed down, and he pushed away the person who squeezed him and bent down to pick up the box.
Follow the flow of people, walk out of the street, and the flow of people is scattered.
