Chapter 9 Leaving the House
In the evening, Jiang Changning personally gave a ginseng plant from the reward to Mrs. Zhuang, "Old lady, I think this ginseng is pretty good, but I can't use it, so I took it over. The old lady, how can I use it?"
"I'm afraid this ginseng has been around for hundreds of years. Ning Yatou, are you really willing to take it out?" asked Old Mrs. Zhuang.
Jiang Changning smiled, "I will be reluctant to give ginseng to others, but I will give it to the old lady. I have nothing to give it to me."
Mrs. Zhuang was very satisfied with this answer and asked the maid to put away the ginseng.
After begging her for love, Jiang Changning took the opportunity to say, "Old lady, the wet nurse has been serving Changning for 16 years. She has been in Changning very well, just like her biological child. Now she has been going out to recuperate for many days, and Changning wants to see her."
"She is a patient. You have thin rosin. If you get infected, it will be bad. Just send the maid to see her." Old Mrs. Zhuang disagreed with her going out.
Over the past six years, Jiang Changning has gone out in just a few times.
It is better to say that it is being lived in a house with a housekeeper, it is better to say that it is being imprisoned at home by the housekeeper.
"I know that the old lady is for my own good, but she just let others see it. After all, she is separated by a floor and cannot know the details. Changning was really uneasy and asked the old lady to allow me to go in person." Jiang Changning said and knelt down.
When Mrs. Zhuang saw her, she looked firm, "Then I'll go tomorrow, go early and come back soon."
"Yes, old lady." Jiang Changning replied respectfully.
After a while, Zhuang Qingyan and Zhuang Qingchan came and thanked Jiang Changning politely.
Jiang Changning smiled and said, "Just a little thing, there is something worthy of your thanks again and again."
"The things are rewarded by the Empress Dowager. If you are willing to give them to us, you are generous. If you get your things and don't know how to be grateful, you will be the ungrateful wolf." Zhuang Qingyan walked in.
Zhuang Qingmei and her face were full of disgust.
Who is Zhuang Qingyan’s words targeting? It’s quite obvious.
The second wife and sister have always been incompatible.
Jiang Changning didn't want to participate in the matter between their sisters, and smiled and said, "I found the booklet you asked me last time and I'll send it to you later."
"No need to send me a girl. After eating Yanshi later, I will go back to your yard with you." Zhuang Qingyan likes to be a female red girl.
While talking, Wu came with two daughters-in-law, and then Zou came too.
After eating, the evening was getting dark, and the old woman was illuminating with lanterns in front of her.
Zhuang Qingyan followed Jiang Changning back to the yard and took away the booklet.
The next morning, Jiang Changning took Shufei, Fucui and four little girls to leave the old lady in Zhuang.
Old Mrs. Zhuang didn't say much, but just ordered Shufei and others to serve her happily.
Come out from Mrs. Zhuang's yard and head to the second gate.
After passing the hanging flower gate and passing the garden, I heard someone shouting: "Sister Ning."
Jiang Changning stopped and looked back. It was Zhuang Jike, with a slightly frowning eyebrows. This man skipped school again.
But she couldn't control this matter, so she nodded as a polite, "Second Brother Ke."
"Sister Ning, is this going out?" Zhuang Jike asked.
"Yes." Jiang Changning replied.
"Sister Ning, where are you going?" Zhuang Jike asked.
Jiang Changning smiled faintly and said, "Go and see my wet nurse."
"I'm fine, go with you."
Jiang Changning frowned. Since she learned that Zhuang Jike was a person who liked to be humble in front of a woman, she kept her distance from him and maintained the etiquette that relatives should have.
She thought that Zhuang Jike would stay away from her with such an alienated attitude.
But he didn't expect that Zhuang Jike seemed to be masochistic. He insisted on pestering her again and again, making Wu always feel that she was seducing Zhuang Jike.
Oh my god, she is really wronged!
"Today is not a day off, why doesn't Brother Ke go to school?" Jiang Changning asked.
"My third uncle is sick and there is a day off in the school."
"Although I was at home during holidays, Brother Ke should not be lazy. He read more books, wrote more beautiful articles, or went to visit those officials and slaughter..."
"My sister is becoming more vulgar." Zhuang Jike interrupted her and left quickly.
"This Fourth Master of Science and Technology is also embarrassed to say that girls are vulgar. He is a very vulgar person." Fu Cui looked at Zhuang Jike's back as he walked away and spat lightly.
Jiang Changning smiled and chanted: "Although I am well born, my belly is full of grass. I am poor and confused about the worldly affairs, and I am afraid of reading articles. My behavior is remote and eccentric, and I have no hope for the country or the family."
I don’t remember the sentence I saw there, which is quite appropriate to use on Zhuang Jike.
"What the girl said is so reasonable." Shufei smiled.
After passing through the garden and reaching the second gate, the carriage had already stopped there.
Shufei took two steps, took out a plain purse from her sleeve bag and handed it to the coachman, "Uncle Biao, it's hard to drive the car, this is what the girl rewards you."
The driver's mouth raised, "Thank you to the cousin to reward me."
He put the little wooden stern attentively, "Cousin, please get on the carriage."
The carriage passed through the streets and alleys and stopped outside a house.
Zhou Chengxin, the two sons of Madam Zhou, were waiting at the door, and waited for the carriage to stop before coming forward and calling, "Girl."
Jiang Changning held Fu Cui's hand and stepped on Xiao Wu to get off the carriage, "Two nanny brothers, don't be too polite, how about wet nurses?"
"My mother is still good, please come in, girl." Zhou Chengxin knew that Jiang Changning had a deep relationship with her mother, and was afraid that she would be anxious, so he lied.
Jiang Changning entered the house and walked inside.
When they arrived at the yard where Madam Zhou lived, the two daughters-in-law Miao and Luo, who were guarding Madam Zhou, heard the sound and came out.
Seeing that the two of them looked haggard and their eyes were covered with bloodshot, Jiang Changning's heart sank immediately.
"No need to be polite." Jiang Changning didn't care about being polite with them, and hurriedly walked past the two of them, and walked in as soon as he lifted the curtain.
The rich smell of medicine came over me, Jiang Changning took two steps in three steps and went straight to the edge of the bed.
Madam Zhou lay flat on the bed, her eyes closed and her face pale. If it weren't for the slight ups and downs on her chest, she would have passed away.
This old man who has cared for her for sixteen years is already exhausted.
"Wuhan! Husband!" Jiang Changning's eyes burst into tears.
"Girl, don't cry, be good girl, don't cry, the wet nurse sings the song for the girl." Madam Zhou was already ill and confused. When she heard Jiang Changning's crying voice, she habitually said the lyrics to coax people.
"Wuhan, wake up, wake up." Jiang Changning called out.
Madam Zhou slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person beside the bed, "Girl?"
"Wuhan, your girl is here to see you, wet nurse." Jiang Changning burst into tears.
Jiang's mother is weak and sickly, and cannot take care of Jiang Changning himself.
Madam Zhou acted as a mother, and she regarded Jiang Changning as her biological daughter.
"If a girl doesn't cry, she will cry and swollen eyes. Be good, don't cry." Madam Zhou tried hard to raise her hand and wipe her tears for Jiang Changning. "The wet nurse is fine, she's just tired, take a break."
Jiang Changning hurriedly wiped away the tears with a veil, "Woman, I'm not crying anymore."
"Good girl, please help me with the old slave." Madam Zhou pulled the corner of her mouth and showed a smile.
Miao and Shufei stepped forward, helped Jiang Changning and helped Madam Zhou sit up.
