Chapter 598: Mother...
Xu Qing walked back to the bedroom and saw Su Qian who was sitting by the bed and arranging the clothes. These clothes were for the little guy in the future to wear.
Xu Qing sat next to Su Qian, and said, "What does my lady ask Xuan'er to buy toys for children?"
Su Qian said: "The princess said that children love to move and play, so they always need some playthings."
Xu Qing said with a smile: "The baby will not be born for nearly five months, and it is not necessary to have toys to play with after birth. We have to raise it for a long time, but now it is a bit early to prepare."
Su Qian said, "It's better to plan for a rainy day. You have to prepare it in advance so that it won't be messed up when you need it."
Xu Qing petted and said: "Okay, what the lady says is what it is. By the way, the warm pavilion is decorated. Do you want to move there, although the weather has not really turned cold, but the season has indeed entered winter."
Su Qian nodded and said, "Mr. Yi's is."
Xu Qing said happily: "Okay then, when my father-in-law and Xuan'er come back, we'll move into the warm pavilion after dinner."
...
In the capital
Xuan'er has followed Su Qian into the capital several times, and she is very familiar with the road.
The last time Xuan'er went to the city, she saw a shop that sold some exquisite baby toys, but at that time she hadn't bought them since the little Young Master was born, and Xuan'er still remembered the location of the shop.
She wants to finish buying as soon as possible and then go home, my uncle said that he is waiting for her to go home for dinner...
Perhaps it was because Xuan'er was walking in a hurry, and accidentally ran into a woman in coarse clothes who was coming towards her, and the two retreated a step each.
After realizing it, Xuan'er hurriedly stepped forward to support the old woman, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, are you okay?"
The woman in coarse clothes originally looked like a fair girl in a pink dress. She thought she was born in an extraordinary family and didn't dare to offend her. Xuan'er: "Your eyes are used to vent your anger? Things that don't have eyes..."
Since it was her own fault, Xuan'er didn't dare to say anything else, but kept apologizing: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
Xuan'er apologized a few times, and just when she raised her head, she saw the woman in coarse clothes pointing at Own with a clear circular scar on the back of her right hand.
Xuan'er's delicate body trembled suddenly...
This scar... my mother also has it on her hand...
At this moment, a young man ran over not far away, followed by some people with short sticks chasing the young man.
The young man immediately hid behind the woman: "Mother... mother... save me... save me..."
Xuan'er looked at the young man and the woman in front of her, her big eyes were moist.
Before he had time to think about it, those people with wooden sticks had already surrounded him.
The woman looked at the young man, stomped her feet angrily, and said, "You child... why are you gambling again! You even let someone come to your door..."
The leader looked at the woman with a stick in his hand and said, "This time we owe five taels of silver to our gambling shop, pay the betting money quickly."
When the woman heard five taels of silver, her eyes immediately went dark. How could she get five taels of silver?
Even if you sell her, it won't be enough!
How could this disappointing son owe so much money...
Seeing that the two did not respond, the leader urged: "Hurry up and take out the money, the family is poor, and you are so poor that you still come out to gamble?"
The woman begged: "Can you allow some time..."
"Give some time?" The leader said impatiently: "Shall I allow your superiors to allow me? Hurry up and get the money, or I will send you to the yamen to be punished!"
Just when the woman's eyes were pleading and at a loss, Xuan'er said: "I will pay them five taels of silver, you...don't make things difficult for them."
As he spoke, he took out five taels of silver from his purse and handed it over.
The leader got Xuan'er's money, and looked at the lady and the young man with contempt: "It's really bad luck... Let's go!"
The middle-aged woman looked at Xuan'er, who was generous, changed her attitude just now, and thanked her a lot: "Young lady is really kind-hearted, kind-hearted, thank you, Miss..."
Xuan'er pursed her lips, and asked uncertainly, "Is your hometown from Yongzhou?"
The middle-aged woman was surprised and said: "How did the girl know? My hometown is Yongzhou. There was a disaster ten years ago. I escaped. Fortunately, God took pity on me and went all the way to the capital. Stall, do some business.
The more Xuan'er listened, the more complicated the expression on her pretty face became, and there was a choke in her throat: "Mother...I...I'm Xuan'er..."
"Xuan'er... what Xuan'er?" The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and then looked in disbelief at the well-made pink dress in front of her, and the hair accessories on her head looked quite delicate .
It is estimated that some people believe that the lady who came from a wealthy family is the youngest daughter who was lost because of the famine?
This...how is this possible?
So a little girl, even if she didn't starve to death, she should be bullied to death. How could she grow up so big?
The middle-aged woman asked uncertainly: "You...you are really Xuan'er..."
Xuan'er's goose egg face couldn't help but a teardrop rolled down, she looked at the woman choked up and said, "Mother...I am..."
The middle-aged woman looked at the noble-looking Xuan'er and suddenly showed joy and said: "Xuan'er, you are still alive, mother thought... You look like you have been taken in by a rich family? Do you have any money? ?”
Xuan'er choked with sobs and said, "Young Master, Miss and Master are very kind to Xuan'er..."
The middle-aged woman said: "That's good. Now our family still owes five taels of silver in foreign debts to open this stall. Your brother also needs money to marry a wife and have children. Seeing if you can come up with five taels of silver, it's not difficult to give some more money." Bar."
When Xuan'er heard this, she immediately shook her head and said, "No... no, the money is no good..."
The middle-aged woman heard that the girl she gave birth dared to disobey the meaning of own, and said angrily: "Why not? You were born in October, and now I can't use your money? If you don't give it, believe me or not Take your brother to the big family to make trouble, and see if they still need you."
The sobs on Xuan'er's face suddenly turned into panic, she quickly shook her head and said, "No...don't...don't bother my uncle...Miss is pregnant...don't make trouble..."
The middle-aged woman crossed her waist and said, "Then hurry up and get the money to marry your brother."
Xuan'er clutched her purse and shook her head and said, "No, the money is from Miss, and it's for shopping, not Xuan'er's money, so Xuan'er brought five taels of silver...Xuan'er...Xuan'er's The money is still in the house..."
The middle-aged woman snorted, "Then we'll follow you to the mansion to get it."
At this moment, the young man whispered: "Mother...now she...she is a maidservant of a rich family, let's go with her...in case she turns her face and denies anyone in her territory..."
The middle-aged woman patted the young man's hand: "This girl is usually timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and she wouldn't dare to lend her courage."
