Chapter 9 Greetings
Chapter 9 Please
The girl's confident tone made Madam Fang feel relieved and distressed.
What I am relieved is that the girl has grown up and her heart is brighter. What I am worried about is that the little girl who is full of admiration for her grandmother has to grow up.
Madam Fang held Xin You's hand and said in a low tone: "Miss is right. After I accompanied you to Beijing, I handed all these to the old lady as my wife's instructions."
At that time, she also ignored her identity and expressed her worries to her wife.
The lady who was seriously ill in bed smiled and said to her: "When I go, Qingqing's closest person in this world is her grandmother. Her mother will take care of Qingqing."
She could not forget the sadness hidden in her eyes when her wife said this, and she suddenly realized how useless her worries were.
How could the wife not have the worries that even she, a servant, imagined? However, the master passed away unexpectedly, and the wife could not hold on. The big Kou family was only a girl and an orphan. If the girl was not sent to the capital to seek protection from her grandfather's family, let alone protecting millions of wealth, even the girl's life would not be able to be saved.
Thinking of this, Madam Fang clenched her fists and felt sad for the mistress who died early.
It can be seen from the bottom that in the end, millions of wealth still failed to find a stable life for the girl.
"Did my grandmother know about this book?" Xin You's eyes fell on the thin book.
After hearing this, Madam Fang stared at the calm girl, and once again felt that the girl had really grown up.
She said as she stretched out her hand, gently pulled the old lady's sleeve and shook it: "Grandma, just agree. If I can't fulfill this wish, I will never be at ease."
"This—" the old lady hesitated.
"That's it—" the old lady patted Xin You's back of her hand, "Don't be anxious, take your time. It doesn't matter if you can't remember it, life will be in the future."
Xin You sat down next to the old lady and raised her head slightly: "It's really good. I'm so bored that I'm not going to stay with me all the time. Why not come and accompany my grandmother."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and her face became a little more serious: "This is just right, why do you want to go out?"
Madam Fang shook her head, showing a hesitation on her face.
"Of course it's the girl--" Xiaolian blurted out and only realized when she met the Qing Lingling's eyes. This was not her girl.
"Miss cousin is here." The maid guarding the gate was a little surprised when she saw Xin You coming.
Madam Fang hugged Xinyou and cried, and Xinyou was also sad for Kou Qingqing.
Xin You replied: "I want to visit the old couple who saved me and express my gratitude to them."
"What will the girl do next?" Madam Fang asked, wiping the corners of her eyes.
Xin You bowed slightly to Zhu: "I know the elders love me, but the old saying goes that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water. That old couple saved my life. If I can't even give thanks in person, it will be hard to feel at ease."
Everyone responded and came out one after another.
The old lady also showed an unexpected look: "Qingqing, why are you here?"
So much money and so much field, how can she, a little maid, be worthy of these!
"It is necessary to thank the manager. Just let the manager give him a thank-you gift, why bother to go in person?" The old lady disagreed.
"I'm not tired, I'm with the girl."
Xin You nodded obediently and said softly: "Grandma, I want to go out tomorrow."
The girl's eager look made the old lady feel relieved: "Then go and go back early and bring a few more guards."
"The next step is to take care of me. The wet nurse guarded me for a night last night and went to rest early."
"Grandma, please."
Xin You raised her hand and gently put it on her shoulder: "In a few days, I will accompany you to find Miss Kou."
Xin You couldn't help but look at Zhu.
Qiao smiled and said nothing. Zhu, who had always been talking much in front of the old lady, spoke: "What the old lady is saying is Qingqing, you are just in good health, so don't go out and work hard, just keep it well."
"Come to sit next to my grandmother." The old lady waved and showed a disagreement. "I didn't say I should keep it well, so I don't have to worry about it at this time."
Xin You lowered her eyes and showed a depressed look: "No. Except for remembering the wet nurse, I still can't remember anything else."
"I feel so neat today, so I'll pay my respects to my grandmother." Xin You bowed her knees and saluted.
The old lady nodded with a smile and asked Xin You: "Did Qingqing remember something else?"
And there is another fundamental point to let Xin You make this judgment: interests.
Xin You pursed her lips: "What else can't the wet nurse say to me? I just don't understand it, but it's because there is still the wet nurse who teaches me."
From the old ginseng branch when he visited the sick to the talk at this time, the second wife seemed to have been kind to Miss Kou.
Madam Fang stopped insisting and Xiaolian accompanied her to the cleaned room to rest.
Xin You couldn't laugh or cry: "Who can see it?"
"Thank you grandma."
She grew up loved by her mother, and from these words of Madam Fang, she could understand a mother's love for her daughter. It's a pity that even if she had made many plans for her daughter and gave in, she could still not resist the sinister greed of people.
In the evening, Xiaolian stayed to watch the night, and Xin You called her from the outside and took out the account book for her to show.
"Go back and rest." The old lady glanced at everyone in the room, "So too."
The numbers on the booklet were so shocked that Xiaolian's mouth had not closed for a long time, and she murmured: "This booklet was left by her wife...Maid, I shouldn't have read it..."
Maybe the small inner room has brought the distance closer, maybe it has been a few days of getting along with each other and establishing trust, Xiaolian suddenly collapsed and covered her face and cried.
If something happened to Kou Qingqing, the biggest beneficiary is not the turn of a second-bedroom family.
I still remember the day she was driven away, begging the girl regardless of her face, but the girl looked away and didn't look at her again.
Madam Fang raised her hand and gently sorted out the girl's chaotic post: "Mrs. I once told me that when the girl grows up, if she gets married with her cousin or gets married in a decent manner, the book will be burned quietly. If the girl marrys someone else and has a proper dowry, I will ask the old slave to show the book to the girl so that she can know what she wants and live her own life from now on. I never thought that I would read this book to you before the day when the girl was married. I am a miserable girl..."
The eldest wife Qiao smiled and said, "Young young and young, recover quickly. Old lady, you should be relieved now."
"Wuhan, you can take care of me if you have a good body."
Three days later, Xin You left Wanqing's residence for the first time and went to Ruyi Hall to pay tribute to the old lady.
Xin You walked slowly behind, turned her head to look at Duan Yunling, the third girl who was landing beside her, and captured the entanglement that the other party quickly concealed.
"Is there anything wrong with my cousin Ling?"
"Why don't Cousin Qing keep the Taoist priest's words in his heart? I would rather believe that he has it than that he has it. What if he encounters trouble when he goes out?" Duan Yunling whispered.
"San Sister, what are you talking to Cousin Qing?" The eldest girl Duan Yunwan appeared in front of the two with a smile.
