Chapter 2 Mother and Child

The tall and wide wooden door opened and put into the dark twilight, gloomy and vast.

The neighbors' wives are joking their teeth every day and scaring their children all the time, and instantly fall into the heart of Xiao Meiniang.

Where is this?

Will you meet bad people?

The joy of being saved is also overwhelmed by unknown fear.

The little girl grabbed her clothes tightly and tried her best to soothe her little heart that was beating wildly. Unconsciously, a layer of fine cold sweat oozed out from her back.

Bang,

The fire broke out, and a big red lantern, which was lit up, was carried in the hand of the little maid. It also reflected at the door. The square-faced woman over 50 years old, became even colder and more stern.

Mei Niang calmed down a little, turned over and was about to get up, but she felt dizzy and almost fell back to the bed. She hurriedly stabilized her body and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Good, auntie..."

The old woman is quite old and has a deep experience. She looked up and down and saw the beautiful lady's expression in her eyes.

Although he was so scared that he was like a white-faced quail, he was just nervous and not afraid.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

She knew her face, and according to common sense, even if she fell into a strange environment, it would be difficult for adults to remain calm. Why did this little girl seem to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her?

When did she become so amiable?

The little girl unconsciously held the quilt, her bright eyes like black crystals, couldn't help but tremble and glance at the lantern in the maid's hand.

"Isn't this place an official? Then this room is--"

She just saw the tall pillars of the house in vaguely, and then she knew that it was not an ordinary house. If she had not a certain identity, it would have violated the rules.

The old woman suddenly realized and looked at the lantern with the words "You know how to read."

Not a question, it's a certainty.

When the beautiful lady heard that the old woman had a weak tone, she thought of the faint fragrance of ink that she smelled in the room and said boldly, "Because Dad, Dad is a Tongsheng... Therefore, when my brother was studying, I... also read a little randomly..."

When she said that, she herself was silent.

Only then did she realize that even though her father and brother had read books, the one who taught her to read and enlighten her was an outsider who had nothing to do with.

Why is this happening?

The old woman didn't know what she was thinking, so she just walked closer and looked at her carefully.

If you faint when you faint, the little girl is like a plain white pear blossom that is wet by the rainstorm, which makes you feel pity for life. After waking up, your eyes are crystal clear and you will contain some of the pure and unrestrained spirit and refinement brought about by the book.

For no reason, she thought of the ink and water pear blossoms passed down from everyone in the previous dynasty in the palace, which were quiet and elegant.

A girl with such a good color and has read books and is very thoughtful, as long as she carved it, she dared not boast that she could compete with peony and peony, and also had her own charm.

And at this age, with Your Highness—

The old woman's thoughts moved, and there was a little more exploration in her still plain tone.

"Do you still remember where your home is and why you fell into the water?"

The beautiful lady raised her eyes as pure as black and white crystals and said honestly, "I am from Shuanghe County, Huzhou, and I live in Guihua Alley. My father's surname is Lin, and I am a clerk in charge of copying in the yamen. That day, the flood suddenly arrived and my father had not returned. My mother took me and my brother to escape... and accidentally fell into the water."

As for being left behind by his close relatives, the little girl lowered her head sadly and hid without saying a word.

The old woman was a little disappointed.

Not an orphan, but a serious civilian, no matter how good she is, she will never be able to use her.

"It turned out to be a girl from the public. It's a coincidence that this is the Huzhou government office, so it's a fate to save you. It's too late tonight and you're tired. Xiao Cui, go and prepare some porridge for this...Miss Xiaolin."

She was happy when she saw the hunt, but forgot to ask the little girl's name.

Mei Niang hurriedly said, "You are kind to me, auntie, I forgot to say it. I call Mei Niang at home, so you can call me that."

Common women are no more wealthy than wealthy families, and their boudoir names are not as precious as those of them. Especially when unmarried women call them by their elders, they are a respect for them.

Seeing her so eyebrow, the woman felt even more regretful and was willing to say a few more words.

"Then beautiful lady, call me Ruigu. This maid is Xiaocui. You have lived with her these days. When you were in a coma, you had already asked the doctor of the government to see you. It was not serious. You were just a little scared and cold. After a while, you had to eat and take two more medicines. When the flood recedes, you can free up your hands and take you home."

Mei Niang hurriedly wanted to get up and thank her. Ruigu refused to let her move, so she told Xiao Cui a few more words and went out.

Mei Niang remembered to inquire, "Which benefactor saved me? Let me thank you."

Xiao Cui didn't answer, but only enviously said, "So you can read. I heard that all the maids who go to the inner courtyard can read. They can get at least one tael of silver every month, and they can also give rewards!"

Mei Niang didn't get the answer and didn't ask much, she just said to herself, "If you want to learn, I will teach you."

Xiao Cui meant this, but she felt a little embarrassed, "How can you bother with you?"

Mei Niang said, "It's okay, I think the embroidery on your belt is very unique. Can you teach me? Just think we've exchanged."

"This is not what I did. My needlework is not very good either..."

"Then you have found paper and pen, and you can draw a few tricks for me. By the way, I will teach you how to read."

“This is easy!”

Seeing Xiao Cui happily searching for paper and pen, Ruigu, who was invisible outside the window, sighed, and it was even more and more regretful.

A big girl who was in the royal palace for several years and was fifteen or sixteen years old was not as good as a young girl in the countryside who had just arrived. Although diligence can make up for her shortcomings, she has some talent and understanding, which is really powerless.

Your Highness is too anxious to leave Beijing, and there are really few outstanding maids around him. It is not easy to train him.

Thinking about his thoughts all the way, Ruigu went to the backyard.

The Huzhou government office was not small, but after moving into the Han Dynasty and his son, the spacious house also seemed cramped.

Fortunately, Huzhou magistrate He did not bring his serious family here except for his concubine, so he quickly vacated most of the yard to resettle the new owner of the fief.

At this time, both masters had already used supper, and Concubine Xu Xian, the mother of the King of Han, was scolding her son.

"......There are a lot of guards, who asked you to show off your hero to save people? You wouldn't want to enter Hong Kong first, but you would just have to care about the untouchables, but then you jumped down to save people... Is the book I've read for so many years in vain? You don't know how to avoid suspicion! You'll go back to the palace, but you don't know how to make a joke!"

The young Han King patiently explained, "It's not about being a hero. Those fishermen and merchants are also the people of the father... I asked the leader of the guards, "We have a big boat and are close to the port, and saving people is just a slaughter... As for that little girl, who can see clearly whether it's a man or a woman when she enters the water? And that girl looks as big as me, what can she say?"

Concubine Xu Xian was even more angry, "You dare to talk back! There are so many unruly people in the world. If her family depends on it, will you still have a reputation? How many bitches in the palace are waiting to see us jokes, and you won't think about your mother? Have you read your filial piety in the dog's belly?"

The more Xu Xianfei scolded her, the more she became, the more distorted it was. Ruigu had to ask for a meeting.

Fortunately, the yard was cleaned up, and she glanced sharply. She swept her left and right. The palace maids and eunuchs who served in the yard were all very eye-catching and pretended to be deaf and dumb. Then Ruigu entered the house.

Concubine Xu was obviously not satisfied with the scolding, but she was still a little more polite to the aunt in charge given by the emperor. "Auntie came just right, so I'm really angry with him!"

say what?

If your son is brave enough to save the people, who is still angry if he is a father?
