Chapter 576 Gossip (two chapters in one)
Yan Xuehuai's tense strings relaxed.
"You want to redeem Zhihong for your own private house or your family's money. Can you make decisions at home? You can make decisions about this matter, and you don't have to discuss with your mother-in-law and your husband? Can they promise you? Zhihong is already sixteen years old and is a big girl. She has been a slave and a servant for many years. I'm going to tell you that she was given to me by someone else, that is, she has been turned over. Are you sure your husband won't mind?"
Sixteen years old, not six years old.
Although the official secretary is a minor official who is not a member of the country, he is not a commoner. If his family is well-off, he has one or two scholars in his family, and he is one of the most wealthy families in the small county town.
Knowing Hong is a slave. Even if she redeems her body, she has been a slave through business. In addition, she is a stepdaughter, so she will inevitably be tainted when discussing marriage.
Of course, if Zhihong was the first-class maid next to Princess Rui, the situation would be different. However, at this time, Yan Xuehuai would not tell the Tao of his true identity.
She was going to put the worst possibility in front of Tao. She wanted to let Tao know that if you want to protect someone, you would not just touch your mouth or spend twenty or thirty taels of silver to redeem yourself.
If you can't do it, then you won't talk.
Zhihong is the maid of the royal mansion. As long as she doesn’t commit suicide, she will be her supporter whether she gets married or stays in the royal mansion to be a nanny when she is old.
Yan Xuehuai talked with Shi Hong yesterday, and the girl said it clearly. If Tao didn't want to recognize her, Shi Hong would take it as nothing.
Therefore, Yan Xuehuai was not in a hurry, and she didn't want to arrange any search for relatives. She said affectionately to the abducted woman who finally escaped from the day of birth: "This is your child, and the relationship between mother and daughter is greater than that of heaven."
Zhihong has grown up. Yan Xuehuai can accept it even if he recognizes Hong or not.
It’s better not to admit it, then just leave it alone. Of course, it’s better to admit it, but don’t be messy about the follow-up matters.
Yan Xuehuai discovered that not only was she not sleepy, but she was as energetic as if she was injected with chicken blood.
Could it be that the one in his belly is not a lazy pig, but a gossip pig?
Later facts proved that Yan Xuehuai guessed correctly.
Of course this is a later story. Yan Xuehuai was still looking at the Tao at this time.
Tao closed his eyes: "If my mother-in-law and husband are unwilling to accept it, I'll do you..."
Tao choked and couldn't say anything. Last night she had already thought about it. If her husband didn't agree, she would be with Li. She would take Zhihong to live with her. She could embroider, weave cloth, and copy books for others. Even if she was exhausted, she would have to save a dowry for her daughter and choose a good family for her daughter.
But now she couldn't say it when she said that her mother-in-law and husband were kind to her. She and they had already had blood thicker than water. What's more, she still had three children and her youngest daughter was less than one year old. If the county magistrate had not come to the door in person and was worried about the errands that would affect her husband, she would not be able to bear it anyway.
She couldn't bear to part with her husband!
Dow despises herself deeply. She is so useless. She is not a qualified mother. She was not before and now.
Yan Xuehuai looked at the woman kneeling on the ground quietly. She had no experience with Tao. She didn't know how she wanted to protect her daughter but was powerless.
Her role model is Li Qiniang.
"Do you want to redeem your body for Zhihong? After redeeming your body, where do you let her live and go to the Tao family, or do you immediately find someone to take over and marry her out, and then walk around as a relative? After all, she has a place to live and a little girl serves. You can't recognize her but make her homeless, right? You think about all of these and have a foolproof plan. Then you will ask me about whether he will redeem your body for Zhihong. This is just for you to tell me. If Zhihong agrees, he will ask her again."
After Yan Xuehuai finished speaking, he said to Zhou Saochen: "When you arrive at the next place, let Dill and Shihong come over and let you and Mrs. Tao go to their car."
Zhou Saochen was originally a person who didn't like to meddle in other people's business, but her curiosity was aroused at this moment. It would be better if she changed her mind. She asked clearly when she grabbed Tao.
The princess should not count on it. Zhihong is also a perfect person, so Zhou Saochen could only ask Tao. This Tao is quite crying, and he might say it when he is scared. If he doesn't say it, then he will be scared a few more times and see if she says it or not.
Seeing Zhihong, Yan Xuehuai didn't mention Tao. She was energetic now, so she asked Dill if there was anything new in the past two days. Seeing that the princess finally stopped sleeping, Dill hurriedly said what happened during lunch: "The man who delivered the meal to me wore a flowery dress and combed the woman's hair bun. But no matter how I looked at me, she looked like a man, and she looked like everything, so much like a young lady. You haven't seen that big feet are so big, bigger than a pearl, and her fingers are so supple, as thick as a small water radish."
Yan Xuehuai asked with a smile: "Is it a man or a woman? Could it be that a man wearing flowery clothes and pretending to be a woman?"
"Oh, female, I am also worried that she is pretending, so I stared at her neck, "Dill compares his throat, "There is no bone here, it's a woman."
Yan Xuehuai laughed loudly. Chai Yan heard the long-lost laughter outside the carriage and was in a happy mood. He checked into the inn at night. Chai Yan asked Dill quietly why the princess was so happy.
Dill said they told the princess something interesting on the road, and the princess liked to listen and didn't doze off all afternoon.
During dinner, Yan Xuehuai ate two bowls of rice and a bowl of soup. Chai Yan was worried that she would accumulate food, so he asked someone to take big hawthorn meatballs for her to eat, but was stopped by Tao. Chai Yan and Yan Xuehuai realized that it was best for pregnant women not to eat hawthorn.
Chai Yan simply asked Tao to write down all the things that were banned. Tao now wanted to please Yan Xuehuai, so he wrote very seriously. The next day, he handed over the full page to Yan Xuehuai.
Yan Xuehuai was stunned and looked at the things listed on her fingers. She suddenly felt that the sky was neither blue nor green, and even the sunlight turned gray.
"When you were pregnant with your first child, there were so many people who were banned?" Yan Xuehuai deliberately avoided Zhihong's name.
Tao smiled bitterly: "At that time, I couldn't even eat 50% full. I was so hungry that I wanted to catch mice and eat them."
Yan Xuehuai shook the paper: "So it may not be impossible to eat anything on this paper, right?"
"You can't say that. The young lady is delicate, so of course she must be careful." said Tao.
"The three you later conceived were based on the taboos on this paper? Who taught you?" Yan Xuehuai asked.
Tao's face turned red: "At that time, I was thin and my mother-in-law was worried that I would not give birth naturally, so she invited a nanny to serve me. The nanny used to work in a wealthy family in the capital, and she was very particular. I gave birth to my eldest son smoothly. My mother-in-law was happy and left the nanny for another two years. The paper was written down by me as the nanny told me."
Yan Xuehuai had heard before that those released from the palace or the mothers from high-ranking families became popular as soon as they left the capital. It seems that the legends are not exaggerated.
However, it seems that the Tao family is not bad, but it is true.
Fortunately, from this day on, Yan Xuehuai's sleep time began to shorten. As long as someone talked about gossip, she immediately lost her sleepiness and was full of energy.
Whenever he went to a place, Chai Yan would ask for some new things to go to the county government and ask the maids to tell Yan Xuehuai.
A family lost the dog and later caught the dog stole the dog, but it turned out that the man stole the dog and breed the bitch at home. Unexpectedly, the bitch who stole it back was also the bitch;
The newly convicted case in the county government said that a master said that he could modify the life and death book while the King of Hell was not at home, and deceived many people, including the magistrate's mother;
A family member lost his eight-year-old son and went to the county government to report the case. The county government sent people to search the whole city and finally found it in the toilet. It turned out that the child had his legs numb in his squat. He lay on the ground for a while, and then slept for half a day;
The head of the county government caught a thief and found a rope on his body. He asked him what he wanted to do with this. The thief replied: He was worried that it would hurt too much with a cowhide rope when he was caught, so he brought his own rope;
Yan Xuehuai smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth. She found that her laughter had become lower. She could laugh without stopping by just a joke. She was worried that if she continued to laugh like this, she would smile with a pleat on her face.
Fortunately, the capital is coming soon.
At this time, the capital.
Jiao Wenzhong finally couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't eat or drink for three days and three nights, and he had to watch a few guards eating and drinking in front of him. On the fourth day, Jiao Wenzhong finally admitted that he was Wang Zhong!
He is Wang Zhong, Jiao Wenzhi is Wang Zhi. Like them, Chen Datie, who was captured by the sea, is Wang Gang, the youngest among the five godsons of eunuch Wang.
Wang Dabao sold Wang Pei and Wang Huai, and the eunuch Wang was so anxious that he fainted on the spot.
They were all children at that time and mistakenly thought that Eunuch Wang was dead. Wang Zhong and the youngest Wang Gang ran to find Lao He. However, when they entered Lao He's room, they saw a stranger in the room. They thought that this man was from the same group as Wang Dabao. They were about to shout, but someone covered his mouth from behind.
The person who covered their mouths was Lao He.
The children have always known that Lao He is not only a manager, but also a guard. Lao He respects them very much. The young master is the youngest, and Wang Gang is very favored because he is the youngest child. Lao He respects him especially. Occasionally, he will bring him some fun and delicious food.
But this time, Lao He's eyes scared the two children.
Old He suddenly pushed Wang Gang to a stranger and said, "It's him."
The stranger looked at Wang Gang and asked, "Why don't he look like him?"
Old He snorted: "Nephew Xiao, his face is like his cowardly uncle carved out of the same mold."
The man obviously still had suspicion, so he looked at Wang Zhong again. Wang Zhong twisted his body and wanted to break free from Lao He's hand, but Lao He's hand was too strong, so he could only waste his energy.
The man looked at Wang Zhong and Wang Gang again, obviously thinking that Wang Gang was more like.
He stretched out his hand, pulled Wang Gang over, and said, "Okay, you can deal with the aftermath of the matter here yourself, I'll take him away first."
Old He hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, take advantage of this moment that the villagers don't know something is wrong, so leave quickly."
The man took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into Wang Gang's mouth, beat Wang Gang up and carried it, and turned around to leave.
Lao He had an extra knife in his hand, and when the man turned around, he stabbed into the man's back.
The man staggered and Wang Gang fell to the ground. Old He drew his sword and sneered: "Idiot."
He was about to take his two children out of the room, but the man who was already lying on the ground stood up and took action like the wind. He actually snatched the knife from Lao He's hand, and with the last strength, he stabbed the knife into Lao He's chest.
But he was already at the end of his strength. The stab had used all his last strength. Wang Zhong reacted from the horror and picked up a chair and smashed it. The man stared at him, took a few steps back, and finally fell to the ground and died.
At this time, Wang Zhi ran in, and behind him were Wang Dabao and his son who were chasing him. The three children pressed against the door of the house and prevented them from coming in.
They heard Wang Dabao say to his son: "Don't worry about these three little bastards for now, they can't escape anyway, so go find silver first."
Knowing that Wang Dabao and his son were walking away, the three children quietly opened the door of the house. Then, they heard Wang Dabao's son shouting excitedly: "We have made a fortune in so much money!"
Wang Gang lowered his voice and whispered: "There is poisonous on the silver."
The poison on the silver was painted by Eunuch Wang himself, and the silver was placed in a place that was easy to find. Eunuch Wang said this was for preventing thieves.
Sure enough, after a moment, the sound of Wang Dabao and his son crying and howling. They waited for a while, but the sound was gone. I think the person was dead.
They walked into the front hall with courage. Wang Dabao and his son fell to the ground, their faces twisted, and the eunuch Wang, who they thought was dead, suddenly sat up.
Eunuch Wang waved to them: "Sons, come here and help your godfather."
The three children came over and helped Eunuch Wang stand up. Eunuch Wang moved his legs a few times and asked, "Where is the one who is stinging inside or outside?"
The children were stunned and suddenly realized that the person Eunuch Wang was talking about was Lao He.
"Dead." Wang Gang pointed to the direction of the room.
Eunuch Wang smiled and said, "Go and drag his body over and put it with these turtles."
The three children dragged Lao He's body to Wang Dabao and his son according to the order of eunuch Wang.
Then, Eunuch Wang said, "I can't stay here anymore. My godfather will give you money. You go to Fuping City."
"Godfather, what about you?" the children asked.
"Wang Dabao sold Apei and Ahuai. I want to find them back. Okay, there is a secret thought behind the bookshelf in my room, you can see it by moving the bookshelf away." Eunuch Wang said.
"Where do you, sons, find you in the future?" Wang Zhong asked.
"You don't have to look for me, I'll go find you. Let's go quickly, you can't keep this place for a moment." Eunuch Wang took out a few silver notes from his body and handed them, waved his hand, and signaled them to leave quickly.
