The lights of Cheng's house were on almost all night.
The two brothers and their wives of the Cheng family were sitting in Mr. Cheng's room, and the maid made a refreshing soup and brought it over.
"Are you asleep?" Mrs. Cheng asked.
The maid nodded.
"They both fell asleep on the bed next to each other," she said.
"Have you seen all the salutes?" Mrs. Cheng asked again.
"Look, there is nothing, no money, only a few clothes, a stove, an empty food box, and nothing else," the servant woman said.
Listening to what she said, the four people in the room looked a little weird.
With these things, can you walk from Bingzhou to Jiangzhou? Even a trip to the big Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the city to offer incense is not enough, right?
Mrs. Cheng waved her hands, and the servants withdrew one by one.
"That child left home so early that I can't even remember what he looked like." Mrs. Cheng looked at Mr. Cheng Er and said, "You are watching, right?"
When Mrs. Zhou entered the family, she had not been pregnant for two years. The whole family seemed anxious, but she finally got pregnant. Although the child was a girl, the family was still very happy. The old man was still alive and gave the name himself.
I thought I'd see a problem after six months.
"Other children can follow people with their eyes, but she stays upright. Other children can sit up, but she can't. She can barely turn over. I originally thought it was a weak fetus, but she was carefully raised with good food and drink.
, but gradually there were more and more problems, drooling, dull eyes and unable to speak. When he was one year old, he was finally diagnosed as a fool..." The wet nurse sat on the mat and whispered about the past.
Cheng Qiniang was wearing a snow-green gauze dress and sitting on the couch with her knees in her arms. At the age of eight, she already had bright eyes and white teeth, and she was agile and charming.
"Still a fool?" she shouted.
The nanny hurriedly hissed at her.
"My wife, please lower your voice," she said.
"I don't want it." Cheng Qiniang's voice became louder and she threw out the pillow next to her, "How can I see anyone like this idiot sister in the future!"
The noise in the house spread out, and the girls on night watch outside shrank their heads and dared not speak.
Cheng Qiniang was spoiled and had a bad temper. No one dared to provoke her if she made trouble.
Mr. Cheng Er here is also in a bad mood, but he is not a child after all, and his temper cannot be lost.
"How did I know that when her mother died, she was sent directly to the Taoist temple?" he said.
"Whatever you said, you don't recognize that you are her father, how can we recognize it?" Mr. Cheng shouted with a serious face.
"That's it." Mr. Cheng said.
Mr. Cheng was so angry that he stood up to take the sword again, but Mrs. Cheng quickly tried to comfort him.
"The Taoist priests told her not to allow relatives to visit her. She was only six or seven years old when she was sent to her. How could she recognize this girl if she wasn't in front of her?" she said.
When talking about the female major change, everyone in the room was silent for a moment.
"How did these two women get here?" Mrs. Cheng asked suddenly.
"It was Mrs. Zhou who left her a large sum of money and buried it in the Taoist temple. The Taoist temple suffered a disaster. Banqin dug it out and hired people, carriages and horses to come all the way here. A stupid little girl fell all the way.
No one was deceived and sold, but the money that was deceived and spent is gone," Mrs. Cheng said.
The people in the room nodded, that's right.
Listening to the silence outside, Banqin got up from the mat, while Cheng Jiaoniang was lying on her side under the bamboo curtain.
"Madam," she said in a low voice, "Why don't you tell us how we came here? The old lady didn't leave any money for us? Wouldn't it be a great joy if you said you could see a doctor?"
Cheng Jiaoniang didn't move.
Banqin thought she had fallen asleep, so she crawled back quietly.
"Madam, you're not sleeping either. You can't sleep." She whispered, the joy in her voice uncontrollable, "We're home."
Cheng Jiaoniang smiled, smiling in her heart, but the smile on her lips was still faint, and it was hard to see it in the night.
"Yeah." she said.
"Ah, madam, you should go to bed quickly. You will definitely see a lot of people tomorrow." Banqin lowered his voice and said,
Cheng Jiaoniang hummed and closed her eyes.
The night wind blew in through the window, and the night was quiet. Occasionally, there was a faint sound of chattering. This did not disturb the master and servant in the house. This time, Banqin fell asleep quickly. This was about a few months after this girl
It was the most peaceful sleep day for her. Cheng Jiaoniang listened to the soft snoring and wanted to turn over, but she tried and finally gave up.
We're home. Is this her home?
Cheng Jiaoniang closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The night was getting dark, and the conversation between the four members of the Cheng family had come to an end for the time being. There was nothing they could say.
"Send someone to Bingzhou overnight, and then send someone to Zhou's house to ask, and everything will be clear." Mr. Cheng said, making a decision with a wave of his hand.
Mr. Cheng and his wife returned to their own house, and the couple washed themselves. Mr. Cheng raised his feet and was about to go to the study, but Mrs. Cheng stopped him.
"It's my fault that I started making trouble without asking questions." She handed the tea to her husband as a gift, lowered her head and said sadly.
Seeing that his wife was willing to admit her mistake, Mr. Cheng looked better. He hummed and didn't take the tea, but he didn't leave either.
Mrs. Cheng Er came over and stretched out her hand to pull her husband's sleeve.
"Erlang, I'm not an ignorant person, but I'm so deeply in love that I can't control myself. In the past, you thought I was a sour and jealous person? This time I heard that it was someone from outside who came to my door again in the middle of the night. I was really panicked and afraid.
Well, at this critical moment, if someone gets caught, Erlang, we, mother and son, are all tied to you." She said, looking at Mr. Cheng Er with tears in her eyes.
Mr. Cheng's second wife is an old girl from the Peng family in Dongpingzhou. She is six years younger than him and has become a new mother. She is at her most enchanting and charming. With these words and that expression, Mr. Cheng
The anger from before has long since flown away.
"You too, no wonder I'm angry, am I such a ridiculous person in your eyes?" He said, sat down and took the tea.
The couple finally reconciled and had a good time.
"It's just that she came back so suddenly, I don't know how to arrange it." Mrs. Cheng Er said.
"You're a fool, what's the trouble? Just eat and drink." Mr. Cheng said nonchalantly, yawned, and went to sleep due to the drunkenness.
Mrs. Cheng Er thought for a moment.
While thinking about this fool, I suddenly thought of another thing.
"Erlang, who were the Green Lady and Thirteenth Lady you mentioned just now at Big Brother's place?" She turned around and asked.
Mr. Cheng Er, who was undressing and getting into bed, froze.
Those were some of his old acquaintances that he casually mentioned during the quarrel just now. He just passed it on his lips and told his eldest brother that he had broken off relations with those people. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cheng Er, who was crying so much at the time, actually heard it and responded.
Remember!
It's all because of that fool! If she hadn't come to the door for no reason in the middle of the night, how could she have caused so many troubles!
What trouble can a fool have? Wrong! This fool has caused him so much trouble when he first arrived! (To be continued)
