Chapter 26
After dismissing Qing'er, who was crying and fussing, Nanny Li returned to Mrs. Wei's room and asked in a low voice, "Madam, do you want to call brother over to ask about it?"
Mrs. Wei hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No! It's not that you don't know Li'er's temper. As long as he doesn't want to say something, even if you put a knife on his neck, he won't say it. So, don't startle the snake for now, I will I have a claim." Then he ordered, "Now go and tell the few people who know about it today, if anyone dares to reveal a word to Li'er, I will let them get out of Yan's house."
Nanny Li hastily agreed with a "yes" and turned to leave.Mrs. Wei continued to sit on the chair and cast her eyes down in thought. After a while, she sneered and said to herself: "Li'er, don't blame mother for being cruel. I did this for your own good!" After she finished speaking, she shook her head and sighed heavily. Get up and go to rest.
Nothing to say all night.In the early morning of the next day, Yan Li finished his breakfast early and went to Madam Wei's house to bid farewell.Mrs. Wei didn't force him to stay this time, she only lightly told him to be careful on the road, and waved him to go.
Yan Li rushed back to his own courtyard as if he had received the imperial decree of pardon.At this moment, Song'er and Bai'er had already finished packing Yan Li's luggage, and when they saw him coming back, they hurriedly went up to him and asked, "Madam, do you agree?"
Yan Li nodded and smiled, "I agree, let's hurry up!"
Bo'er hurriedly knelt down and begged: "Young master, you always take Song'er with you when you go out, and leave me at home. Bai'er is also willing to go out with you to see and see, and ask you to help me!"
Yan Li smiled and said: "When did I go back and go out with Song'er? But this time I have a lot of things to do, let Song'er go and do the hard work for me, so you are willing to follow?"
Bai'er hurriedly said: "Yes! Don't talk about hard work, even if you go to the mountains of swords and seas of fire, Bai'er is willing!"
Yan Li had no choice but to say: "Forget it, since you are willing to suffer, I will grant it to you. There is only one thing, you must not complain about suffering or tiredness, otherwise I will beat your legs and arms!"
Bo Er hurriedly patted his chest to make a promise, and Yan Li didn't bother with him, and ordered him to bring another horse. The three master and servant put their luggage on the horse, and then they got on the horse and were ready to go.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a little servant girl running over, she couldn't help but stop Yan Li's horse, and begged out of breath, "Young master, the second girl is coming this way, she said she has something important to see you, please ask him Wait a moment."
Yan Li frowned, and asked impatiently, "What's so important?"
"I don't know about this either. When the second girl arrives, the young master will find out if he asks!" After finishing speaking, he quickly got up and stepped aside.Yan Li had no choice but to get off his horse again, impatiently waiting for Yan Ying's arrival.
Sure enough, after a while, Yan Ying came running out of breath.Yan Li saw that she was running loose, so he lowered his face and shouted: "What important matter is worth your running like this, what is the status of the girl's family?!"
Yan Ying was burning with anxiety, she didn't care about decency, hurriedly ran to Yan Li, grabbed Yan Li's arm and begged: "Brother, hurry up... go to my mother and ask for mercy. Give Qing'er to...to...as a match!"
"What?" Yan Li was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Yan Ying shook her head and said: "I don't know either, but I heard the girls talking early this morning, saying that Qing'er made some big mistake yesterday and was beaten with blood all over her face. The room is waiting for a match!"
Yan Li was even more surprised, and asked a few more questions, seeing that Yan Ying couldn't say anything, so he had to hand Ma Zang to Song'er and said, "You go to the porter and wait for me first, I'll go and see." Come!" After that, without waiting for Yan Ying, he just walked straight to Mrs. Wei's yard with his long legs like a gust of wind.
At this time, Mrs. Wei was listening to Nanny Li's report.Mother Li said: "The madam ordered Qing'er to be paired with a servant yesterday, so I sent someone to find out. I saw that there were already three young servants in the house who were old enough to be married. Which ration is appropriate?" After speaking, he told the situation of the three servants.
Mrs. Wei frowned and said: "Although that girl Qing'er is a little restless, she looks pretty good. Why don't she be assigned to Madam Zhao's son, Fu'er. What's more, Madam Zhao was also brought over by my natal family. Let her be a decent girl." The daughter-in-law is also concerned."
Nanny Li hurriedly agreed, then withdrew to congratulate Zhao Nanny.Unexpectedly, he just left the room, and when he looked up, he saw Yan Li coming in with an anxious expression on his face, he hurriedly stopped, and said with a smile: "Brother hasn't left yet, I thought he was already on the way now!"
Yan Li forced a smile and said: "I was just about to leave. I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I came here to ask my wife for instructions." After finishing speaking, he stopped chatting with Madam Li and walked into Mrs. Wei's room .
Mrs. Wei was not surprised to see him come back suddenly, she just asked indifferently: "What else?"
Yan Li said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that I suddenly heard that my mother is going to marry Qing'er, is there such a thing?"
Mrs. Wei raised her eyelids and glanced at him, expressionless said: "Yes, why, you are not willing?"
Yan Li looked embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "What can I be reluctant to part with? It's just that the news came suddenly, so I came to ask. Besides, Qing'er has served me for these years, and somehow she has a sense of master and servant, so I heard it all of a sudden. I'm really surprised about this." After finishing speaking, he paused for a while before asking: "What did Qing'er do wrong that made her mother be so eager to marry her?"
Mrs. Wei sneered and said: "You are very well informed! Since you already know, then I will not hide it from you. That Qing'er was not a quiet child when he was a child. I heard that when I didn't leave the house with you I just fell in love with Zhao Nanny's son, Fu'er, and now that she's back, the two of them are naturally stuck together again. Afraid of accidents, Zhao Nanny came here to beg me to assign Qing'er to his son. If you love me, this is also a good thing for the beauty of adults, so I should."
"This... is not possible, is it?" Yan Li was very puzzled, thinking that Qing'er only blindly pleased himself before, and had never heard of her getting along with Fu'er, this should be his mother's prevarication to him ?
Mrs. Wei became angry when she heard that he didn't believe it, and said with a downcast face, "Sick! You mean that I will lie to you because of a girl? Huh, she deserves it too!"
Yan Li hurriedly said: "My son is wrong, but I never dared to doubt my mother. Since this is what they want, my mother will fulfill them by doing so. I thank Qing'er. If so, I will go. Take care, mother!" After saying that, he quickly turned around and left.
Yan Li went out and asked a maid to call Qing'er.The servant girl said: "Sister Qing'er has been locked in the woodshed, and no one will be allowed to see her now."
Yan Li just remembered this matter, he couldn't go back and beg Mrs. Wei to let her out for a while, so he handed the only one tael of silver he had on him to the hand of the maid, saying: "After Qing'er comes out, You hand over this piece of silver to her, just say I gave it, and let her buy some dowry when she gets married. I still have something to do, so I won’t wait for her, and if she has something to do, let her go to Fenglianzhuang to find me.” Said Finished, turned around and went.
