Princess Pan and Mrs. Pei, the Queen Mother of Heyang, are old sisters. Now they are enjoying their blessings. Mrs. Pei also went to the funeral. After coming back, perhaps due to the sudden change in weather, the old lady's appetite was a little unbalanced, and her diet was decreasing day by day. The weather is getting colder, and even during the day, most of the day is spent in a drowsy sleep.
Jia Fu has an impression that in her previous life, Mrs. Pei seemed to have died shortly after Xiao Lie became emperor. So now, when she saw that the old lady was not in good health and Pei Youan was not at home, she was extremely nervous and anxious. Not only did she serve her attentively morning and night, but she also asked the imperial doctor to come to treat her every two days.
But despite this, the old lady's body was like a lamp that was about to burn out, and the firelight gradually dimmed. Jia Fu gradually felt an ominous omen in her heart.
On this day, almost a month after Pei Youan left home, Jiafu received his first letter home from him.
The letter was short and concise, just like the way Pei Youan always talked to her.
He told her that he had arrived in Jingxiang and Nanyang in the past half month, and that everything was going well now. He told her that she did not need to worry about him, and asked her to convey peace to her grandmother on his behalf.
After the letter was a one-page book list he attached. He said that he had all the books listed in his study. If you have free time, you can take them for fun in the order listed in the book list, from shallow to deep. By the time she finished reading all the books listed above, she expected that he would have returned to Beijing by then.
Since Pei You'an left, Jiafu took care of Mrs. Pei during the day, and she missed him all the time at night. Sometimes she missed him, and she couldn't sleep even late at night. I finally received his letter today. Although there was no word of longing in the letter, Jia Fu was already satisfied with the book list he had made for himself. I felt a bit sweet and a bit regretful, thinking how great it would be if my grandmother was in good health.
She went to the old lady's place.
The old lady had been sleeping all morning. She had just woken up and seemed to be in a slightly better state of mind. After listening to Jia Fu relaying the contents of Pei Youan's home letter and the greetings from her eldest grandson, she smiled and nodded. At this time, Mrs. Xin, the second Madam and Zhou Jiao'e also came to serve the meal. After staying for a while, the old lady sent them all back. The old lady asked Jia Fu not to stay any longer, and went back to take a nap. She also specifically told her not to mention her poor health if she replied to a letter, so as not to cause further annoyance.
When Jia Fu returned to her room, she was not in the mood to sleep. She sat down and started writing. When she was about to reply, Grandma Liu came in and stood aside, unable to speak.
Jia Fu asked her what happened.
Aunt Liu came closer and whispered: "Grandma, I heard that in the past two days, there have been secret rumors among the servants, saying that in the house where the great aunt used to live, there were cries in the middle of the night, and she also said"
She paused.
"What else can you say?"
Kafu immediately put down her pen and turned her head.
"It was also said that someone once saw a hanged man with disheveled hair and a long tongue hanging in front of the yard where the uncle used to live in the middle of the night"
Mother Liu looked at her face and said hesitantly.
The anger in Jiafu's heart was surging out bit by bit.
Pei Youan has only been away from home for a few days, and the old lady is ill again. Such rumors have begun to circulate in the Duke's mansion.
If Mrs. Pei had her birthday last year and she overheard the gossip of the two women when she passed by Pei You'an's former residence, and she was just unhappy, then at this moment, "unsatisfied" is not enough to express her at this moment. emotions.
She was already angry, extremely angry.
She held back and asked, "Who saw it?"
??Mama Liu shook her head: "I don't know about this yet. I've asked about it too, but there are many servants in the mansion, and people are passing it around in the two houses and courtyards. I can't tell who made the news first."
Jiafu gritted her teeth and said, "Go and investigate again! We must find out the person who saw the hanged man! He must have been very frightened, so I can comfort him."
Her tone was very serious. Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by Jiafu again. She turned around and saw that she was lost in thought. After a moment, she suddenly stood up and said: "You don't have to It¡¯s been checked, I¡¯d better ask someone to check it.¡±
Mother Liu was surprised to see that she had left the house and hurriedly followed her.
Jiafu went back to the old lady first, and asked someone to quietly call Yuzhu out. She asked her grandmother and learned that she had just taken medicine and had just rested. She took Yuzhu to an uninhabited corner and whispered to her grandmother. said it once.
Yuzhu was taken aback, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Who are these people talking about? We need to take care of them! No matter who has the dignity or not, if he catches them, even if his mouth is torn, it will also give those bad mouths an advantage. !¡±Jiafu said: "I was also thinking about it and wanted to ask something. My grandmother has been in a bad state of mind recently. I'm afraid that these dirty words will reach her ears and make her angry. It's okay that my grandmother doesn't know about it yet. Please watch more. .¡±
Yuzhu nodded: "Don't worry, Grandma, I know all the people in front of me. I won't give face to those who are lazy and talkative. Since Grandma mentioned it specifically, I will pay more attention to it."
Jiafu smiled, shook her hand, turned around and was sent out, then asked Tanxiang to invite Mrs. Meng, and then went to Mrs. Xin's main courtyard.
Mrs. Xin was in Brother Quan's room at the moment, with an angry look on her face, scolding the nanny for being lazy and not helping Brother Quan, who wet the bed during his nap, to clean himself in time. Catch a cold. The nanny was a little aggrieved and argued: "I asked Xiaohong to go to the kitchen to get hot water early. Xiaohong came back and said that just as she had finished boiling a pot, the girl named Xiangmei from the second mistress's house took her away. Second Mistress was in a hurry to use hot water and asked Xiao Hong to wait, then it was too late."
Mrs. Xin was furious and threw the clothes in her hand: "This is too much! I really thought I was an immortal descended from heaven! Do you still have any rules in your eyes?"
The nanny murmured and said, "Isn't it? That's what she said. Brother Quan, I'm afraid I haven't even seen the second master a few times these days. It's time for the madam to set some rules."
Mrs. Xin's face was extremely ugly, and she was so angry that she wanted to call Zhou Jiao'e to come and lecture her. When the words came to her lips, she swallowed them alive.
Although the Zhou family has been in disgrace recently, the queen's position in the palace is still there, and she may turn around again one day. The queen also seemed to care a lot about Zhou Jiao'e. Just a few days ago, she even sent palace officials to give her some gifts from the palace. Besides, Zhou Jiao'e's temper is really a bit violent this week. If she refuses to obey and spreads the news about this incident, the old lady will just think that she is incompetent. She is even more afraid of being laughed at by the second roommate behind her back.
Mrs. Xin felt resentful and resentful for a while, and when she was hesitating, she suddenly heard the girl come in and said that the eldest grandma was here. Seeing that the nanny was still looking at her eagerly, as if waiting for her to go to Zhou Jiao'e to lecture her, she felt a little annoyed, so she simply Taking this opportunity to go down the slope, he ordered the wet nurse to take care of Brother Quan, and he hurried out.
