Chapter 204 Wet Nurse(2/2)
Chen Liqin said angrily: "That's enough!"
Wang Gui remained silent.
The so-called wet nurse is not only responsible for breastfeeding, but also takes care of the diet and daily life of the young child, imparts enlightenment knowledge, and accompanies the young child until adulthood.
In the deep palaces and mansions, wet nurses made up for the lack of mothers. After many officials reached adulthood, they even regarded wet nurses as half mothers.
Such is the case with Chen Liqin.
At this time, Chen Liqin recalled everything he had done and subconsciously looked at Chen Ji: "You...he seems to have regrets this time."
Chen Ji said calmly: "What do you mean, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Liqin was silent for a long time: "Her mother is indeed very old... He made a mistake in a moment of confusion before, but Wenzong also punished him with a cane. Now he apologizes again, he must know how to repent. Of course, I will not let him
He continues to be the housekeeper and just comes back to Beijing with us, what do you think?"
Chen Ji thought for a moment: "Master Chen, why don't you return Wang Gui's deed to him, let him go home, and stop working in the Chen Mansion."
Chen Liqin was a little embarrassed: "I promised his mother that I would give him an errand... How about this, let's just observe him for a while. If he shows signs of being a villain again, I will expel him from the house. If he really changes his mind,
To rehabilitate himself, we also give him this opportunity to start a new life."
Chen Ji looked at Chen Liqin for a long time in the dark night, then took a step back, smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's all up to Master Chen."
Chen Liqin breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and angrily scolded Wang Gui at his feet: "Get out of here, it's embarrassing here! Go back to your home, and don't appear in front of Chen Ji to upset him before returning to the capital."
Wang Gui stood up in a hurry: "The villain understands, the villain understands!"
…
…
Wang Gui went back to his bedroom, put on his clothes, and limped out of the side door of Chen's mansion. He turned around a few alleys and knocked on the door of a house.
The courtyard door opened, and a pretty woman said in surprise: "Master, it's not a day off today, why did you come back in the middle of the night?"
Wang Gui said tremblingly: "Help me in first."
The woman supported him and said worriedly: "What's wrong with the master? Why is he limping?"
Wang Gui's face was ashen. He didn't explain a word, but whispered in a low voice: "Pack up and prepare to return to Beijing in a few days."
The woman helped Wang Gui lie down on the bed and rubbed his cold arms and legs with her hands to help him keep warm.
When she saw the injuries on Wang Gui's back and buttocks, she shed tears of distress: "Master, what's wrong with you? Who beat you like this? Let's report it to the official!"
Wang Gui said nothing and let the woman rub it for a long time before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are not allowed to report it to the officials. The government has nothing to do with this matter," he commanded with his eyes closed: "Pack up the gold and silver items at home and call the footman's driver tomorrow, and then find a bodyguard to escort them and transport them to the capital.
.You don’t want to go with the Chen family and transport the Xiruan to the capital alone and give it to my mother."
The woman sighed and agreed.
Wang Gui opened his eyes and said, "There is the box I brought back on the day of the war. I want to take a look."
The woman bent down and struggled to pull out a wooden box from under the bed and opened it. She saw that it was full of gold and silver jewelry, and Liang's once most precious phoenix crown and blue flower head was also lying in it.
On that day, the Liu family suffered a war, and Chen Liqin and Zhang Zhuo were placed under house arrest in the government office. The Liang family hid in a farm outside the city.
Wang Gui took this opportunity to collect a lot of property. Later, he shifted all the responsibility to the soldiers of the Liu family and secretly stole a box of gold and silver.
At this time, he saw a box of gold and silver jewelry still there, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Wang Gui's eyes stopped on the phoenix crown with blue flowers on its head. This was the item Liang wore on her head when she got married.
After a while, Wang Gui's eyes were filled with uncertainty: "Put this mask on."
The woman uttered a cry, her face was happy, but her mouth was humble: "Why do you want me to wear this phoenix crown? I don't deserve to wear such a good thing."
Wang Gui said angrily: "Put it on if I tell you to, what nonsense is that!"
The woman sat in front of the dressing table aggrievedly, and put the mask on her head in front of the brass mirror.
Wang Gui squinted his eyes and saw that in the dim room, the woman's face could no longer be seen clearly, except for the phoenix crown head and face shining brightly in the weak candlelight.
The woman had just put on her hair and face mask when she saw Wang Gui climb out of bed. Regardless of the pain in his body, he pinned the woman to the dressing table and lifted up her clothes from behind.
"Master, please don't do this, you are still injured..."
"Shut up."
"Master, there seems to be a civet cat watching us on the window lattice."
