In this way, Zhu Wen and the four of them ended their turbulent and displaced lives, no matter what, at least every day they did not have to worry about what to eat and where to live, of course, in addition, there was nothing good in the Liu family. Because they were newcomers, and the way they came to the Liu family was so less humiliating, soon, the matter of Zhu Wen kneeling and eating white jade cakes into the Liu family's house spread among the servants of the Liu family, and soon Zhu Wen became a joke after people's tea and dinner, and even some good servants ran to the place where they lived to see Zhu Wen's true face. Speaking of their residence, I couldn't help but add a few more words, the two houses they lived in were a remote corner of Liu Mansion, and before they came, there were no servants living here, and for some reason, it had been empty. There was no one to live, no one to approach, it seemed to be a place of refuge for the Liu family, no one was willing to mention it, no one was willing to come to this ominous place, who thought, this ominous and deserted place had become not cold with Zhu Wen's white jade cake incident. Every time he saw the other servants hiding in the corner looking at them and whispering, Little Zhu Wen's heart was full of anger, his hands were clenched into fists, his eyes flashed with anger, if it were not for his mother and brother's obstruction, Zhu Wen would have run out and beat them away, but Zhu Wen's mother knew that this stable life was not easy to come by, no matter what, he had to endure, and now what was more important than living a stable life and being able to eat a full meal. The hardships of the fleeing life that had ended were still vividly remembered, and even the wounds that had been collected on the way to escape for their lives had not yet been scarred, how could they give up the stable life of kneeling and eating white jade cakes at this time.
"Search for me"
One afternoon, everyone was resting, because there was nothing to do today, so Zhu Wen's mother came back to rest last night's work, of course, such a rest is not common, the basic mountain Zhu Wen's mother's work is all day long, and it has not been fixed, where it needs to be called to go, really carry forward the spirit of screws and the spirit of bricks, where need to move to where. This rare quiet afternoon was broken by a roar from the housekeeper, Zhu Wen's mother was excited, got up from the bed, and quickly ran out, Zhu Wen and his brother also ran out, Zhu Wen's mother knew Zhu Wen's temperament, stood in front of the two children, protected them, afraid that they were young and did not understand things, and would make trouble. Only to see the housekeeper with a few servants, the fierce god stood in front of the door, several servants were also angry, directly rushed over, pushed Zhu Wen's mother and two children to the side, Zhu Wen's fist was tightened again at this time, Zhu Wen's mother grabbed Zhu Wen's hand hard, bowed her head, looked at Zhu Wen gently, shook her head, Zhu Wen snorted, the sound was not loud, but it was heard by the housekeeper
"Oh, white jade cake boy, you don't believe it."
"Lord, the little one is not feeling well"
"Hmm, don't you dare," the butler said with a look of contempt, "hurry up and search, that is, dig three feet into the ground, and also find out the young master's grasshoppers." ”
Zhu Wen's mother, who didn't know why, now understood that they were looking for grasshoppers, and that this grasshopper belonged to the young master, but how could the young master's grasshopper be here with us, besides, even here, the grasshopper was alive, and he should have heard the sound long ago. The housekeeper searched here in vain. Several tall servants searched around Zhu Wen's mother's room, but found nothing, and they turned to Wen Jing's room again, and unexpectedly, they found the grasshopper, but it was a dead grasshopper.
"Just know it's you, little thief." The butler said with a mischievous smile
"Lord, we didn't do it, we didn't take the young master's grasshoppers."
"Yeah, you didn't take it, and I don't say you took it, but whoever found it in their room stole it."
"Lord, what happened?" At this moment, Wen Jing came in from the outside and looked at the people in the courtyard
"The real thief is back and catches him!" The butler shouted
"This... this...... What's going on? Wen Jing was taken away before he could figure out what was going on. Only Zhu Wen's mother was left to kneel on the ground and plead bitterly
"What should I do now?" Zhu Wen's mother cried anxiously
"Mom, don't cry, I'll save Uncle Wen." At this time, Zhu Wen actually changed his usual angry appearance, although there was still anger in his eyes, he could see Zhu Wen's perseverance.
After saying this, Zhu Wen ran out, and Zhu Wen's mother did not hold back, and suddenly had no idea
After Zhu Wen's mother finished cleaning up in the room, she walked around fidgetingly until the evening, when the room was quiet. The sound of the wind and insects outside, from time to time into the ears, but at this time, Zhu Wen's mother only worried about her little son, everything around her, had nothing to do with herself, until the moon hung in mid-air, heard the silent outside remembered the sound of dragging walking, Zhu Wen's mother quickly ran to the courtyard, this is already countless Zhu Wen's mother ran out to see Zhu Wen, this time did not disappoint her, Zhu Wen helped the tired and scarred Wen Jing back
"What's wrong with that?"
"Mother, don't ask, go boil some hot water, give Mr. Wen some hot water"
"Good" Mother was busy boiling water, Zhu Wen's brother Fu and Zhu Wen helped Wen Jing back to Wen Jing's room, let Wen Jing slowly lie on the bed, Mr. Wen could not help but moan out loud.
After a while, the mother came back with a bowl of hot water, slowly gave Mr. Wen to take, Wen Jing also slowly recovered, at this time the mother finally couldn't help it, "Wen Er, what the hell is going on, who beat Mr. Wen like this." ”
"Mother, we will talk about this matter afterwards, anyway, the problem has been solved, and now Mr. Wen needs to rest, let's go back, let Mr. Wen rest first, tonight I will accompany Mr. Wen and take care of Mr. Wen."
Although the mother especially wanted to know what had happened, Mr. Wen's injury and Zhu Wen's torn pants, but Zhu Wen said so, and the mother was not good enough to continue to ask, and left the room.
The next morning, Zhu Wen's mother was not yet light, she boiled some hot water, boiled some rice paste, and sent it to Wen Jing, Zhu Wen had not woken up, Wen Jing was half lying on the bed, saw Zhu Wen's mother come in, busy getting up, but unfortunately the body was still too weak, a move, a roar.
"Mr. Wen, don't move"
"Master and Mother, I am tired of you"
"Mr. Wen don't say this, this way, you have not taken care of our mother and son." We are a family, you are like my children, you should take care of each other. ”
"Master and mother want to know what happened yesterday" Wen Jing looked at Zhu Mu's desire to say and stopped, Zhu Mu lovingly looked at Zhu Wen who was still asleep, nodded, and Wen Jing began to tell the story of what happened yesterday.
After the butler took Wen Jing away viciously with a group of servants, he took him directly to the compound, and without asking, he judged that Wen Jing was a thief and mutilated the young master's grasshopper, a grasshopper was small, but the behavior of this matter was disrespectful to the young master. So a beating is indispensable, two servants on the left and right, roll up their sleeves, spit hard into their hands, shake off their arms, and use all their strength to start fighting, these servants are usually suppressed by the housekeeper for a long time, it is not easy to have such an opportunity, it seems that when it comes to their own eyebrows and exhale, when they fight, they are merciless. Wen Jing knew that he was in a dangerous situation now, and it was useless to ask for forgiveness, and today he was afraid that he was going to reunite with his parents, so he closed his eyes in despair and let the board hit him. Life or death, resigned to fate.
"Butler, I have something to say, Uncle Wen is not a thief." A childish voice came from not far away, Wen Jing was very familiar with it, this was Zhu Wen's voice, Wen Jing frowned and thought tightly, how did this little guy come, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies, Zhu Wen is young, you must not break your life because of yourself.
"Oh, this is not the white jade cake boy, you are hungry again, unfortunately, there is no white jade cake here, hurry up and blast out!" The butler said dismissively
"Butler, listen to me, and it's not too late for you to punish me later." Zhu Wen was not afraid, his voice was sonorous and powerful, his eyes were firm, he looked up for a moment, and met the butler's eyes, just when the eyes of an old man and a small one met, it was as if he saw two sparks of electric carbide, without showing weakness. The housekeeper was cowardly
"Speak fast, finish and roll fast"
"Thanks to the housekeeper Big Lord. I will first give the housekeeper a story, there is a large family, one day, the old man found that the most valuable piece of jade in the family is missing, the old man was furious, because this piece of jade is not only valuable, and this piece of jade is still the last time the emperor rewarded the old man, the emperor rewarded the jade lost, lost not only a piece of jade, said big, may lose his life, the old man closed the door, refused all personnel to come and go, gathered all the personnel gathered in the courtyard, Tell the seriousness and serious consequences of this matter to all the people present, when everyone listened, they could not help but look at each other, the women could not help but start crying, the old man gave an order, the servants began to search around, and finally in the dresser box in the room of one of the old man's favorite aunts, when the servant presented the jade to the old man, the old man took a deep breath, and the stone hanging in his heart finally landed. As a result, the jade, repeatedly touched, to see if there is any loss, intact, the old man is very pleased, after seeing the jade, the old man suddenly thought that this jade was found in the aunt's room, the smile that had just stretched was gone at this time, looking directly at the aunt, at this time the aunt had long been paralyzed when he heard the news that the jade was found by himself, and the eyes of the people left and right were gathered on the aunt at this time, as if a thousand arrows pierced the heart, the aunt knew that there was no way to live, at this time she gave up the distinction, only her own heart knew, the jade was not taken by herself, It is estimated that if it is correct, since she entered the door, the eldest wife has regarded her as a thorn in the flesh of the eye, and wants to get rid of it quickly, before the jade incident, the big wife's small actions are continuous, and often some strange things will happen in her room, such as a snake that suddenly appears on the table at night, her pet dog inexplicably drowned in the pond in the back garden, and so on, once thought that as long as she bowed down and did small, bi respectful, and served the good old man, everything would be fine, and as a result, I didn't expect that today this time can be regarded as pushing myself into the abyss of no return, and there will be no day to turn over. At this time, the eldest wife also began to assist, and in the end, the old man endured the pain of handing over the matter to the eldest wife, and lost his aunt forever. The aunt died with hatred, the old man was depressed all the time, always felt that things were strange, privately sent people to check the truth of the jade incident, and later it turned out that all the things were arranged by the eldest wife, and everything she did was just to get rid of the thorns in her eyes, and the old man who learned the truth was heartbroken, and he actually suffered from a heartache disease, looking for a famous doctor, there was no improvement, although three months after the aunt died unjustly, he died, and within a year, the once prosperous big household was broken. ”
"The story is well told" The butler's face flashed a trace of good thoughts, and soon, it returned to its usual ferocity, "So what, what does it have to do with us, the grasshopper was found in Wen Jing's room, this is the stolen goods." ”
"Lord, there must be something strange in this matter, and I also ask the housekeeper to give me time to let me check the water, and if I can't prove Wen Jing's innocence at that time, you will not be late to punish me."
"I can't see it, your boy is still quite capable, okay, I'll give you seven days, and if you can't find the grasshoppers within seven days, I'll drive all of you out of the Liu family."
"In seven days, if there is no result, it is not too late for you to throw us out again."
Zhu Wen prostrated to the butler, lifted Wen Jing, walked back, just took two steps, the two fell heavily to the ground, and then several servants came up to beat them, after the fight, spit a few mouthfuls, laughed and left, Zhu Wen looked at their distant backs, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes, this light made Wen Jing feel afraid and at the same time saw hope, in the living environment of the Liu family, a literate student like himself can only be bullied, Zhu Wen can open a new life.
Zhu Wen's mother heard this, lovingly touched Zhu Wen's injured arm, and unconsciously flashed the picture of Zhu Wen being beaten in her mind, tears could not help but fall on Zhu Wen's hand, Zhu Wen slowly opened her eyes, a look of doubt, "Mother, are you crying?" ”
"It's all right, the wind blew my eyes"
Seeing the wound on his hand, Zhu Wen understood everything in his heart, "Mother, rest assured, I will let you live a good life in the future, and I will never be bullied by these dog-fighting things." ”
"Wen'er, as long as you are safe, I don't want anything."
In this way, the life in the Liu family is not good, although there is food to eat every day, there is a place to sleep, but under the fence, being bullied, several of them are surviving in the cracks, unconsciously, the time has passed six days, once agreed with the housekeeper seven days have arrived, Zhu Wen's mother felt her heart fluttering from the morning, Zhu Wen advised her mother" Mother, "Mother, don't worry, here we are also enough, rush out and drive out, no big deal." ”
"Aunt Zhu can be in, just between the mother and son talking, a voice of a beard remembered
"In, in, in, in, Zhu Wen's mother hurriedly got up and greeted her out.
"Aunt Zhu, come to the wife please" Ya Gui is not like the other people who have come to this courtyard, Ya Gui is very polite, and she speaks politely, Zhu Wen's mother is very surprised, and she is also confused about the old lady's summons, or it is worried
"When I first arrived, I didn't know where the old lady lived, and I asked the girl to lead the way."
"It's natural, the old lady said, take your gentlemen with you."
"He... Mother Zhu chuckled in her heart, afraid that Zhu Wen would say something disrespectful when she met the old lady
"Let's go" Just when Zhu Wen's mother was overwhelmed, Zhu Wen ran out on his own, and it turned out that he had been listening to everything that was happening outside behind the door, afraid that like before, his mother would be bullied
After saying that, the girl led Zhu Wen's mother and son to the old lady's residence, and the servants and servants they met along the way saw the girl and made a respectful salute, so that Zhu Wen's mother was even more confused, not knowing what awaited her, whether it was a blessing or a curse?
