Mu Huagui

Chapter 4
"Ah..." Pushing Mother Su away violently, Chen Jiao'er put her hands on her knees and shouted, "Don't come, don't come."

Cherry and Mother Su were shocked, Cherry patted Chen Jiaoer's back lightly, and said softly, "It's okay, there are only slaves and Mother Su here, no one can hurt Miss."

"Miss, this is... what's going on." Mother Su asked in panic while wiping her tears.

"Miss was very afraid of the dark during this time, and sometimes she would sit up in fright until midnight, and couldn't remember what happened before." Cherry explained to Mother Su.

"It turns out that the rumors are true." Mama Su has not been able to verify it, she only heard rumors that Miss Cousin bumped her head, and she can't remember what happened before.

This incident is so rare that even Su's mother thought it was just a rumor, but unexpectedly, it actually happened.

"It's okay, I'm okay, you don't have to worry." Chen Jiao'er slowly raised her head, the experience of the past life and the experience of this body in recent days are like electricity, entangled in her mind over and over again.For a while, she turned into the old Chen Jiaoer, huddled in front of the mother in charge of the kitchen in the palace, holding her bloody hand and beware, and then turned into the current Chen Jiaoer, shivering in winter, shivering under the quilt and calling for mother.

Holding Su Mama's slightly rough but warm hand, Chen Jiao'er's body trembled involuntarily, and she felt that this was a trace of emotion left by the original owner.

"Don't worry, as long as they treat me sincerely, I will protect them and let them live a good life." I silently made a wish to the original owner in my heart, and a white shadow reluctantly pulled away from my body , slowly dissipates in the air.

None of the three people in the room noticed all this, only Chen Jiao'er felt her body lighten up, and the discomfort in her body during this period of time seemed to disappear all of a sudden.However, what happened to Chen Jiao'er played over in her heart like a movie.

"Mom, how are you doing these days..." I was about to ask Mama Su how she was doing, but when I touched the hard calluses and uneven fingers in Mama Su's hands, the word "good" stuck in my throat, Did not go on.

"Mom is doing well. Miss, don't worry about my old lady. People who are used to suffering are so delicate. When my wife was around, I would often mend clothes with my wife by the lamp. What my wife can do, my old lady can't do." I can't do it." Mother Su hugged Chen Jiao'er, patted her on the back lightly, and hummed.

How can mending clothes compare with fine needlework? Chen Jiaoer thought of this, straightened up, and asked, "Did Mom bring the keys?"

Mother Su was taken aback, and took out a key tied with a red string from her chest and said, "The old lady always carries it with her, but she dare not put it casually."

Chen Jiao'er also took out the key that Cherry had been keeping for her, and took out a walnut dowry from the bottom of the closet, and opened it with two keys at the same time.

The top was covered with ordinary silver jewelry, and there were two hidden compartments underneath. Chen Jiao'er opened one of them according to the original owner's impression, and took out two thin tissue papers and handed them to Mama Su.

"This is..." Mother Su held the two pieces of tissue paper and looked at Chen Jiao'er in surprise.

"Mama Su is now being asked by the eldest wife to go to the sewing room, where she arranges the most important embroidery work. It may be impossible to get her back. For now, the only way to deal with it is to return her mother's deed of prostitution. It is possible to leave the house." This is not only for Mama Su but also for Cherry.

"Going out of the house, but old lady..." Mother Su was shocked, not knowing how to answer.

"Yes, go out of the house. Attaching to the Chen family is not a long-term solution after all. Only by supporting my mother outside can we live a stable life."

"No, Miss will be thirteen by the end of the new year. How can it be... How can it be possible at this time." Seeing that Miss was young and ignorant of world affairs, Mother Su couldn't help but get red-eyed in anxiety.Regardless of Miss's age, she will leave the cabinet after two years, and she must have an experienced mother to help her. It's just me. Is there anyone in the Chen family who is so easy to get out?
Offending the eldest lady, the outside stewards can just find any reason to punish her and the couple, who would call for grievances for their two slaves who have just been released.Not to mention, Miss's parents are gone. Although Cherry is loyal, she is a little girl after all. Without a mother-in-law by her side, what will Miss do in the future.

"I understand what mother is thinking. I don't know if mother has ever thought about the number of sisters who are the same age as Chen Jiao'er in Fuzhong. What kind of situation are the concubine daughters in Fuzhong who married a few years ago?"

Mother Su was silent. Although she didn't like to inquire casually in the sewing room, it was obviously impossible for a group of old women to gather together without gossiping.What's more, it's something that everyone in the manor knows, so Mama Su naturally knows that since the older generation in Chen's mansion, none of the daughters of concubines have married well.

"But miss is not the daughter of a concubine in their mansion, how dare she be so contemptuous."

"I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep up with the concubine's daughter. Even the concubine is a century-old Chen family bloodline. I'm just an orphan girl who has a little relationship with the old lady and was taken in." Chen Jiao'er sighed.Although her surname is Chen, those who don't know the inside information may think that she is a relative of the Chen family, but in the eyes of insiders, she is not the daughter of the Chen family at all.

"After leaving the mansion, mother will show them the embroidery of the Buddha statue, and they will take you in." This handkerchief was embroidered by Su's mother before, and Chen Jiao'er accidentally discovered it, so she came up with the idea of ​​letting Su's mother leave. government's idea.

After explaining it in detail, Mother Su couldn't hold back in the end, so she had to reluctantly agree.Immediately, Chen Jiao'er dragged her sick body and took Su's mother to Jinhuaju to meet the old lady.

"It's really a mother's fate. When my mother was dying, she asked Jiao'er to let Mama Su's family get rid of her citizenship. But Mama Su cared about me wholeheartedly and insisted on following the mansion. A few days ago, I dreamed that my mother was frowning like a child. I have something to say, I think it's because I didn't do it according to her wishes. So...don't do it, please let me do it." After speaking, Chen Jiao'er forced herself to finish speaking, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

Tears fell down in strings, wetted the thick eyelashes, and flowed down the small face the size of a palm.Cherry felt distressed and hurriedly took the handkerchief to wipe it off, but Chen Jiao'er blocked it with her hand.

"Since this is the case, let Guanshi Qin go with me." The old lady half-closed her eyes, glanced at Chen Jiao'er who was leaning on the ground, and said leisurely after a long time.

Steward Qin was in charge of the shop and business that the old lady married as a dowry. Mother Qin belonged to Steward Qin's family. The doctor at Yijingju over there got the news.

That night, Yijing Juli was flying like dogs and dogs, and many maids and women ate the first ones.Pointing to a pair of unfinished Guanyin embroidery, the eldest lady said bitterly, "This is a gift for Mrs. Wang when I take guests in the first month. You should talk about what to do."

After changing the subject, he said again, "This girl, you really dare to fight against me. I want to see what good you can get by currying favor with that old bastard."

"Old lady, Miss has been living in the inner house, how could she know what's going on outside, will she be deceived by someone?" Holding the note with the name and address written on it, Su Dazhuang was always dubious.

"Regardless of whether it's true or not, Miss Su told us to go, so let's go first. Besides, we have hands and feet, we have no place to take us, and we won't starve to death." Mama Su didn't give birth to a child at home. The elder brother married a daughter-in-law, so he sent her to the Qi family to work as a helper.

Unexpectedly, there was another calamity year, so he signed a death contract and took out money to spend the day with his family.The Qi family is just an ordinary businessman who makes a living by running silk forging and embroidery workshops.

She was bought here to serve the eldest lady who was about to be born, that is, Chen Jiao'er's mother, Chen Qishi. It was precisely because she took care of Qi's growth that she became a companion and followed Qi into the Chen family.

The small family does not stick to many rules. Although she is a slave, she also learned how to embroider well, and learned a few words from Qi Shi. After marrying Su Dazhuang, a clerk in the shop, she often helped embroider in the shop. Some work, but not afraid of life after leaving the government.

"Hey, isn't this the back alley of the palace." After all, Su Dazhuang worked in the outer courtyard, and sometimes helped the steward run errands, so he knew several major directions in the capital.

The two searched for the address and knocked on the door of a house.

"Here, who is it?" The door was pushed open with a "squeak", and a fat man with a round face showed half of his face, looking at them without any expression.

Mother Su held up the handkerchief she embroidered, and said, "Excuse me, are you recruiting embroiderers?"

"Hey, you embroidered this." When the fat man saw the handkerchief, he couldn't help but push open the door, reached out to take it, and looked at it carefully, looking very happy.

"Yes, it was embroidered by the old lady." Su's mother and Su Dazhuang looked at each other, half of the anxiety after leaving the house had dropped.

"I heard about it in the Chen family's embroidery room." Mother Su did not hide her identity, and it was useless to conceal her identity. The Great Zhou Dynasty had a perfect household registration system, so you can find out when you go to the official office.

"In that case, then you guys come in first." The fat man with a round face couldn't deny it after hearing this.Whether it is true or not, he will go to the government office tomorrow.The embroiderers recruited in the palace, even if they are just helpers, must have a clear and clear history.

"Mama Su wanted to come to the mansion to meet the young lady, but was blocked by the Da Furen's people, so she entrusted Xiao Wen to send this letter in." Cherry couldn't help admiring it. It was not difficult to figure out that Madam Su would not let Mama Su enter the mansion, but How did the lady know that Xiaowen would deliver the letter for Su's mother?

An enemy's enemy is a friend, Chen Jiao'er pursed her lips and smiled, this time was enough for her to inquire about many things.Ten years ago, the old man suddenly died of a sudden illness.The old lady said to the outside world that she was too sad and handed over the power of the house to the eldest lady.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old lady and the eldest lady are at odds.It's just that the elder fell into the eyes of King Xianjun for some reason, and has been promoted all the way to the military department.No one in the mansion dared to show the eldest lady's edge, and she was very unhappy for a few years.
