Chapter 40, for the sake of food and clothing
Song's mother smiled outside. In her opinion, the wife had the means. No matter what kind of lady she came from in Beijing, she would not be proud of her as long as she had a wife here.
The lady only hit a wall in front of one person, that is Chengping Bo Mansion; there is another person who makes Mother Song unhappy, that is Madam Chen.
The mother Song, who was in charge of informing everyone, came to see Mrs. Jiang first. After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was not jealous this time and said she knew and asked someone to give her a few hundred dollars to reward. Mother Song went to Wang Yao and Zuo Zhao's house again and told them to keep the King of Jin today, but if the people from the capital don't leave for a day, they will have to worry one day. Wang Yao and Zuo Zhao also rewarded her with money, and said that they would also work hard to move forward, and Mother Song came back directly.
The courtyard is quiet and the peach is sad.
Liang Ren came here occasionally, which was a busy and happy day for Xiaotao. Usually, she and Mrs. Chen were the only ones at home. Mrs. Chen, who was washing and tidying, also took action. If the material requirements were not high, no other family members were needed.
It is also convenient for the master and servant to speak.
The half-yellow and half-green color of the leaves on the top of the head reflected between the little peach's cheeks, causing the mottled sorrow to be even more prominent. These little sorrows accumulate, and the sigh of the little peach's sigh is accumulated.
"Oh, we offended Mrs. Nangong and the others." Xiaotao was not expecting that Mother Song deliberately marginalized the master and servant. She just blackmailed Qi Gui for Mrs. Nangong's family last time, and Madam Chen refused to participate.
In the half-open window, Mrs. Chen, who lowered her head to do work, was amused and said gently through the window: "I understand, butler Xiaotao, come in and pick up your sewing basket. If you don't learn now, you will have to eat when you go to your in-laws' house in the future."
Xiaotao came in with a frown and said stubbornly: "I won't get married, I will accompany my wife."
"You are already my daughter, so you have to get married. I will ask Your Highness to see you an honest and honest man. You will support my old man at that time." Mrs. Chen smiled.
"That's good, but I'm afraid that your highness will refuse to come after their instigation." Xiaotao muttered.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone started to call the gate of the courtyard. Xiao Tao's eyes were bright. When Mrs. Chen's eyes were bright, Xiao Tao people were behind the door: "Here's here, who is it?"
"It's me."
Xiao Tao opened the door and said in a crowded manner: "Hello, Mr. Wu, please come in and sit down,"
Liang Wu, the housekeeper of the King of Jin's mansion, gave the money bag with a smile: "Take it and give it to your wife. This is the monthly silver for this month. There is also a bag of rice and a square of meat here."
Mrs. Chen bowed deeply under the eaves. Liang Wu waved his hand. He drove a car by himself. Then he sat in and picked up the whip leisurely and drove away.
The half-closed courtyard gate was filled with Xiao Tao's voice alone: "Madam, Your Highness hasn't forgotten you, Your Highness will still come."
Mrs. Chen gently flicked her forehead: "Daimei, keep the money." Xiaotao ran into the room. Mrs. Chen walked over to close the door. The neighbor opposite, the white-haired Grandma Wang, laughed here. Mrs. Chen opened the yard door open and bowed to her: "Mother-in-law comes out and walks around?"
"I'll go." Grandma Wang answered her first, and then asked: "Your Highness's mansion is here to send money and rice?"
"Yes." Mrs. Chen didn't say much. She was not Mrs. Nangong. Mrs. Jiang all had her own house. The words of neighbors had no effect on them. This was a shallow and narrow courtyard. If you talk louder in the yard, your neighbors might hear it.
Liang Ren is willing to take care of her. Mrs. Chen always thinks it is a surprise. Liang Ren never offered to change the house for her. Mrs. Chen thinks it is even more rare to be familiar with her neighbors, so she never offered to change it.
Fortunately, the neighbors never laughed at her, so Grandma Wang comforted her: "Your man left you, and no industry left behind. What can I do to dress and eat?"
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Mrs. Chen thanked.
"You are a blessed person. Follow Your Highness better than follow a bad guy." Grandma Wang said, slowly entering with a crutch. She could not blow the wind for too long. After a few days, she just came out and stood in one stop.
Mrs. Chen watched her walk home completely, slowly closed the yard door, and returned to the room step by step with gratitude.
Xiaotao was an orphan that Liang Ren bought for her after she met Liang Ren. After the two depended on each other, they gradually became relatives. As Xiaotao grew up, Mrs. Chen gradually asked Xiaotao to take care of the money, fearing that she would not be able to be a good family after marriage.
After Xiaotao put the money, he pushed out a basket with gold and silver paper in it and stacked strings of paper threads.
"Oh, let you do your work, why do you do this again?" Mrs. Chen sat down and stroked the paper thread with his hands.
"It's Mid-Autumn Festival. Is the money I gave to the old man enough?" Xiao Tao used his fingers as a calculation and lit paper money.
She called Mrs. Chen's husband who passed away as Mr. Chen.
Mrs. Chen picked up the work she had just done: "No need to order, it's enough, I have it in my room, you can take it out."
Xiaotao dragged it out and said in surprise: "Madam, you made so many at night. It's enough for Mid-Autumn Festival and some for the New Year."
Mrs. Chen said gently: "Yes." The one who passed away began to occupy her mind, in front of her eyes and in her heart, he was far less gentle and considerate to her than King Jin, but she was still her husband, the person she often missed.
.....
The new excitement of Nanxing Royal City was soon depressed in front of Mrs. Chengpingbo. The autumn rain began to roll in one night, and the rapid sound of the door raid attracted all her attention.
This sound was first heard by Wang Er, who was guarding the door. When the autumn rain started like silk thread, it brought moisture and longevity, and it also brought impatience easily.
Since the arrival of King Jin, the safety in Nanxing has been greatly improved. Although there is no road in the royal city, there has been no major damage incidents for several years. Wang Er asked who it was and confirmed that it was an individual outside the door, not a cat or a dog. He opened the door "hula", which scared the people outside the door and scared himself.
The blood flowed down the man's fingers covering his chest, and a few drops fell on the threshold. Under the light of the lantern in the corner door, there was a dark trace.
There was only one person guarding the corner gate. Wang Er had no time to blame himself for his carelessness and opened the door. The door latch was never too far away from the door, so he could pick up the door latch and press the other end in front of the man. The man fell down.
Wang Er squatted down in fear: "Hey, I don't have much money in my month. I have a mother at home, so I can't afford it."
"lady....."
The man spit out two words, closed his eyes tightly, and stopped vomiting blood, as if he was about to come out of the corner of his mouth.
Just thinking about Yinzi Wang Er's heart was mentioned in mid-air, and then looking at the silence and robbers around him? He was particularly smart in his ears, and there seemed to be footsteps coming here on the street next door.
Instinct prompted Wang Er to drag the man into the man and gently close the corner door. Instinct prompted him to verify that the ladder used to repair the door head was pulled out from the corner door and put it silently on the wall. The creaking sound when climbing the ladder made Wang Er reveal his head alertly like a mouse.
ah!
There is really someone at the intersection of the street, wearing black masks, and casting a pair of cold eyes.
There are two endings of being frightened, one is panic, the other is frozen, and the other is the latter. The man in black did not expect that there was someone in the swaying vines on the wall. He stared at the corner gate of Chengping Bo Mansion until he seemed to come again and would not admit his mistake. A gust of wind blew and he disappeared.
Wang Er saw him turn around and leave with his own eyes, but the speed was too fast, and the person in front of him disappeared. He hurried to Lin De, the butler of Shangye, and said that.
"Butler De, he will be gone when the wind blows."
Lin De was the most orthodox person in the housekeeper who stayed behind. Lin Zhong and Lin Cheng gave birth to a son. Lin De was taken care of by Chengping Bo. Since Chengping Bo passed away, something big or small happened in the family. Lin De took charge of the night work. Although he was not there, he spent more than twenty days in thirty days a month.
"Take me to see that person."
In the doorman, the man opened his eyes a little excited after fainting, but he was tied with a rope by Wang Er and could not move, and he smiled awkwardly: "Friend, I am Mrs. Chengpingbo's friend. Please send me to the Lin family. You will know at once you ask."
He didn't remember what happened before he fainted, where he went and how he got here.
Wang Er angrily raised the door bolt again: "If you don't tell the truth, I will beat you to death."
Lin De confirmed that the other party could not break free from the constraints, so he simply pointed out: "This is Chengping Bo Mansion. I am the housekeeper. What shop are you at? Tell me."
The man was shocked and then a little sarcastic: "Is this the Lin family?"
"Yes!" Lin De was determined, and his attitude and confidence were convincing.
The man was silent and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, I have no choice now. If you are the Lin family, please tell Mrs. Bo that I am Boss Qi's friend and have important things to see her. If you are not the Lin family, you should be killed or cut off and give me some pleasure."
His eyes suddenly glared like copper bells, and his voice was stern: "I want me to talk nonsense, I'll be in the next life!"
The three words Boss Qi are more effective than the imperial edict. When Mrs. Chengpingbo heard it through the window, she was shocked first, and then said, "I'll do it."
The man in the concierge fainted again. Lin De was bandaging his wound and fed him the ready-made wound medicine at home.
He woke up again and saw a young lady sitting in the room, wearing plain white clothes, black skirt, white flowers on her hair, and all of them were silver jewelry.
Mrs. Chengpingbo verified his identity, and the other party also used Qi Gui's words to verify Mrs. Chengpingbo's identity, and he said it.
"It was the King of Lu who was chasing me. There was a bag of copper hidden in every ten bags of goods in my hand. It was not ore. Boss Qi asked me to pay attention to the refined copper I bought last year. It was supposed to be delivered this month, but I didn't want Chengpingbo to die. Boss Qi lost the person who contacted His Highness and asked me to wait outside first. A few days ago, he brought the caravan to see me and said that the goods could be delivered. When he arrived at the royal city, he would find his wife. His wife would arrange someone to deliver letters to His Highness and arrange the warehouse for receiving goods. I was chased as soon as I took the goods on the road. Half of my friend died. Fortunately, the goods were not lost, and I also learned the other party's identity."
The man took out something hidden in his clothes with pain as he moved, and half-old palm-sized clothes with a sign on it.
Mrs. Chengpingbo did not recognize her, so she took it out and asked Lin Cheng, who was in charge of His Highness's business, to see her. Lin Cheng was shocked: "This is the logo of Prince Lu's Mansion."
