Hearing this voice, Chu Yunli's eyelids twitched. He lowered his eyes and hid the expression in his eyes, "The young master has to pee at this time every day, so he cries."
Her voice was not loud, but delicate. This nanny was timid, and everyone in the house knew this. The old woman softened her expression and said, "Come with me, change first, and then go. If the old lady knows
The young master is crying again..." There was a threat in his tone.
Many nannies from wealthy families have been working as nannies for a long time and know some unique ways to coax their children. As the mother of the children and the master, Chu Yunli naturally knew some of them. She followed her mother-in-law to a room, and she hugged her
She turned the child around twice, reached out and patted it, and soon it stopped crying. Then she went out and went to the main room.
Nowadays, many older people think that children can see many dirty things that ordinary people cannot see. If a child cries to an old man, it means that the old man is in poor health or that the old man is about to die.
The old lady of the Lu family is in her sixties this year. She is getting older, and she somewhat believes what these old people say. She really doesn't like to see her crying child, even if it is her grandson.
It has been half a month since Zhang Qiuniang arrived at Lu's house. During this half month, when she came to pay her respects, she would meet that woman most of the time. Every time she went to the gate of the yard, she would love the child, and then the child would cry. The old lady
I have become a little tired of it recently. Sometimes Mrs. Zhang Qiu is still in the yard and she hears the cry of the child and is sent back.
While Chu Yunli was still standing outside, she heard the excitement in the main room. The old lady's happy laughter could be heard throughout the courtyard. She was standing outside the curtain. The one who opened the curtain was a little maid. She first came in to report, and then
Come out and let her in.
At this time, the child was already asleep. Chu Yunli came in, hugged the child and knelt down, "Young master, please give my regards to my grandmother."
Then he turned sideways to the women who had slipped down beside the old lady and said, "Young master, I would like to send my regards to the aunts."
"I didn't cry today." The old lady was quite surprised. "Bring her closer and let me take a look."
Chu Yunli hugged the child and came forward. The child, who had just given birth, was in his prime, with fair skin and long eyelashes, and was very cute. Even if the child was not her biological child, she couldn't help but soften her heart just by looking at it.
The old lady just glanced at it and said, "It's pretty good." Then she looked at a young girl next to her and said with a smile, "Hongying, take a look."
Li Hongying, dressed in red, turned her head and glanced, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and followed the old lady's wishes and praised, "It's really good-looking."
He added, "Aren't all children like this?"
After saying a few words, Chu Yunli was sent out. She carried the child back to the yard, sighing slightly in her heart.
This Lu family is a very dangerous place for this child.
Speaking of which, the current head of the Lu family is this child's father, Lu Yuzhou.
Lu Yuzhou is twenty this year, but the old lady is already over sixty. This is because the old lady is Lu Yuzhou’s father’s first wife and has never been able to give birth to a child. The Li family from which the old lady is born is also a big family in this city, so
, even though she had never made any money, Father Lu did not take any concubines. It was not until he was in his forties and the old lady was already in her forties that she relaxed and started to take in three concubines for him.
She was a good concubine, but within a year, the three concubines became pregnant one after another. The three concubines were born, and the eldest son was Lu Yuzhou.
The second son, Lu Yuman, is married to the woman who pinched the child just now, Mrs. Zhao. The third son, Lu Yuchang, has been studying abroad and has not yet gotten married.
The first wife Lu Yuzhou married was the daughter of the Hu family in Licheng next door. It was half a month away from Jicheng by horseback and even longer by horse-drawn carriage. Therefore, Mrs. Hu had not been able to return to her parents' home since they got married, and she died in childbirth.
The news, even if a month has passed, the Hu family has not received any news.
And the Li Hongying just now is the youngest daughter of the Li family. She calls the old lady her aunt. She specially picked her up with the intention of bringing her and her eldest son Lu Yuzhou together. Just now she also had the intention of praising the child's good looks in front of her. The intention is self-evident.
I want Li Hongying to accept this child.
Chu Yunli sighed softly. In fact, in her previous life, Zhang Qiuniang only raised her children here for half a year, and no one from the Hu family ever came. She also accidentally discovered that her daughter had died a month after she left. After feeling sad,
She devoted all her motherly love to this child, but the child had been getting sick one after another. He often woke up at night and couldn't take much milk. It was very difficult to take care of him. Moreover, his body gradually became weak. He grew up for ten months.
The time was gone, and the nanny Zhang Qiuniang was beaten to death and buried with her child on the pretext of not taking good care of the young master.
After Zhang Qiuniang died, she saw that because she did not sell herself into the Lu family, the servants here killed someone when they were playing with a wooden board. The Chen family's father and son came here to demand an explanation. In fact, they wanted money. The Lu family
After giving him thirty taels, the three of them went back happily. Zhang's father vaguely knew that the Chen family had benefited from his daughter's death, so he went to the Chen family to ask for an explanation. The Chen family gave him ten taels, and that was the end of the matter.
.
Zhang Qiuniang's life can be summed up in eight words - she was born out of control and died unjustly.
Chu Yunli hugged the child and looked down at the road under her feet. This has now become her life. If I remember correctly, it has been nearly twenty days since Zhang Qiuniang arrived here. The daughter she gave birth to only lived for a month.
It is urgent to take back my daughter.
When she returned to the yard, her food had been placed on the table again. It was still bland and had a fishy smell of meat, which really didn't taste good.
It was not delicious, and Chu Yunli also ate a lot. If she remembered correctly, the old lady was going to the countryside to worship Buddha in the next two days. After being gone for half a month, this might be her only chance.
When I went to pay my respects the next morning, I heard Mrs. Zhao praising the old lady for her compassion and devotion to the Buddha.
Chu Yunli knelt down and said, "Young Master, I would like to pay my respects to my grandmother."
The old lady waved her hand to let her out without saying a word.
Chu Yunli knelt down to the women over there again. Except for Zhao, the biological daughter-in-law, the rest were other rooms of the Lu family. Lu Yuzhou did not separate these cousins.
After bending his knees, he stood up straight and said, "Old lady."
Seeing that she didn't leave, the old lady frowned, "But what's wrong with the child?"
"No." Chu Yunli lowered her head, "I just heard the old lady talking about going to the countryside to worship Buddha. She has been there for more than a month. I wonder if the young master can go and light an everlasting lamp for his mother?"
The old lady frowned, "The child is so young and the temple is cold. You have to breastfeed him. If he eats vegetarian food, the milk may not be good."
It sounds like this means to refuse.
Chu Yunli lowered his eyes, "I just want to light up the everlasting lantern so that the young master can have something to think about when he grows up. As a child, filial piety is a must nowadays. The young master is still young, so it is the time when he needs to be taught."
She had to teach a child who was just one month old to be filial, which she thought was ridiculous.
But the old lady just accepted this trick. She had no biological children. Although it seemed that Lu Yuzhou was treating her well now, who knew what would happen in the future? For example, he would never let go of Li Hongying's marriage.
Let the child go to the temple to light a lantern to pray for his mother. This will just remind him that she is his mother!
According to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, the marriage should be agreed upon.
Another day, Chu Yunli packed up her large and small bags, walked out of the gate of Lu's house, and got into the carriage with her children.
Outside the carriage, Mr. Lu Lu Yuman said goodbye to the old lady. Lu Yuzhou finally came out of the door. He was dressed in a moon-white gown, handsome and elegant. When Li Hongying over there saw him, her face was already red with embarrassment and she couldn't bear to part with him.
Don't look at it. With a man like this, it's no wonder that the daughter of the Hu family went against the will of her father and brother and insisted on marrying far away.
He was going to take the old lady to the temple in person. He went to the old lady's carriage and said a few words, then turned around and headed for the carriage at the back. When he passed by Chu Yunli's carriage, he frowned slightly and said, "Be sure to keep an eye on it."
child."
Chu Yunli agreed, and soon, the carriage started slowly. It was already afternoon when they arrived outside the city, and it was already dark when they arrived at the temple.
It is worth mentioning that because Chu Yunli could not eat vegetarian food, the old lady specially let her live in a farmer's home at the foot of the mountain. She took her children to light the lanterns and prayed for seven days. After seven days, she would wait for her at the farmer's home.
It doesn't matter if my wife comes back together or in advance. We'll wait for arrangements then.
It takes one day's journey from Jicheng to Ping'an Town, and it takes three hours to travel by horseback. Fortunately, it is already far out of the city, and it takes about two hours to get to Ping'an Town.
Just in case, Chu Yunli was not willing to wait for a day. She found the woman in the house and gave her a pair of silver bracelets for the child. "I am not feeling well. Could you please help me take care of the child overnight?"
.”
Although Zhang Qiuniang was born in a peasant family, which is not even as good as this one, she is now the wet nurse of the Lu family, and she is taking care of the young master of the Lu family. In the eyes of these people, the Lu family is a very wealthy family that they cannot usually come into contact with. They did not expect this.
How dare the young master fall into his own hands to take care of him? She would refuse immediately.
Chu Yunli could see what she was thinking, and handed over a bowl of freshly squeezed milk, and tapped the bracelet, "Just one night, this thing is yours."
The bracelet weighed two ounces. The woman's eyes lit up and she gingerly took the milk and the baby.
Seeing that she had accepted it, Chu Yunli immediately said, "Remember, don't look for me tonight, otherwise I will take the bracelet back. Also, please look after the child carefully, this is the eldest grandson of the Lu family!
"
The woman responded hurriedly, "I won't sleep tonight, I will just stare at him."
When she went out, Chu Yunli blew out the candle, put on the clothes of a servant in the house, jumped out through the window at the back, the courtyard wall was a fence, and she could get out by lifting her feet without any effort at all.
In fact, she didn't want to take her child away from her, but the child was too young and there was nothing she could do about it. She could only rush back as soon as possible.
It was April now, and it was still a bit cold under the moonlight. Chu Yunli left the village and headed for the official road. Jicheng was prosperous, and there were inns along the official road. There were horses in them, and you could trade or buy them.
When she came earlier, the Lu family gave her three taels of silver, saying it was to buy delicious food for her children. At that time, Chen Dafu took her back. She had only been here for half a month, and the monthly money was still there.
There was no hair. What was left was the child's jewelry. She followed the carriage directly out of the city and had no time to exchange for silver.
Because she was in a hurry, she ran wildly alone in the middle of the night, not daring to stop.
It was already dark at this time, and she saw the inn from a distance. Except for the lantern at the door, it was completely dark. She paused, thought for a moment, then turned over lightly into the backyard of the inn, secretly untied a horse, and led him out.
The door.
When she opened the locked back door, there was a ringing sound, which made her nervous for a long time. She had never stolen anything in her life, but she didn't expect that this time she would make an exception.
Running all the way, not daring to stop at all, she arrived at Ping'an Town quite smoothly. She did not enter the town and went all the way to Baixing Village.
Baixing Village is a big village. It is said that there are hundreds of surnames in it. Even in the middle of the night, dogs bark one after another. She tied her horse in the woods outside the village and ran towards the village quickly.
Concerned about the children in the farmer's family, she did not dare to delay and went straight to Chen's house. As she passed by, dogs in the village barked one after another. Fortunately, these dogs also liked to bark, so no one came out to check.
The Chen family, father and son, are not engaged in production. In such a big village, they are considered the poorest group. The house is in dilapidated condition. Chu Yunli turned over and walked in. When she walked outside Chen's mother's room, she heard the sound of a child like a kitten.
The cry was very weak.
Through the moonlight, I could see two adults lying on the bed in the house, their babies...on the ground!
