Jiao Luan

Chapter 34 Outbreak
Han Shi is putting the soles of the shoes under the lamp. The snow-white cloth has been cut and laid layer by layer. The stitches are fine and even, which is quite skillful.

"Ma'am, take a rest, your eyes hurt carefully." Xue Lan persuaded.

Han didn't raise his head: "There are only a few stitches left. I'll cut out the upper tomorrow, and a pair of cotton shoes will be finished. These cotton shoes are much more comfortable to wear at home than those leather boots."

She said and handed over the soles: "Xue Lan, what do you think?"

Xue Lan hurriedly said: "Madam Na's soles look great."

Han withdrew her hand: "You don't know at a young age. My mother is not good at being next to female celebrities. She is very good at making shoes, especially here. If they don't fit well, it will be uncomfortable to wear. My father has only worn shoes for decades. I am used to the shoes made by my mother. Before I left the court that year, I specially asked my mother to learn how to make shoes, but I didn’t expect that after so many years, the shoes I made are also decent.”

"No wonder the servant girl sees that the shoes made by the madam are more straight." Xue Lan finished praising, then turned and removed the lampshade, picked up the wick, and the room suddenly became brighter.

At this time, Shuanglan came in through the curtain: "Madam, the third girl is here."

Han's hand paused, and the tip of the needle pierced the belly of his finger. Immediately, there was a piercing pain, and blood beads burst out instantly.She hastily moved the soles of the shoes away, lowered her head, sucked her fingers in her mouth, and said, "Tell the third girl to come in."

After finishing speaking, he handed the soles to Xue Lan: "Xue Lan, put it away first."

"Yes." Xue Lan took it, turned into the compartment, opened one of them in Qing Yishui's rosewood box, and it was full of brand new cloth shoes.

Xue Lan couldn't help sighing, thinking that this cloth shoe lady makes every year but never sends it out, she is also a poor person.

Here Cheng Wei entered the door, a warm breath rushed towards her face, she was still cold in her heart, she took off her cloak with a happy face, walked up to Mrs Han, and called faintly: "Mother."

Sitting on the edge of the kang, Han looked at Cheng Wei's thin cheeks with a wet blush, and the hair on his forehead that was not covered by the hat was also damp, his lips moved to say something, and his gaze fell on her to cover his eyes On the black cloth towel, he swallowed again, and asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

Facing the Han family, Cheng Wei never thought about the possibility of being soft-spoken and acting like a baby, so she went straight to the point and said, "Mother, I miss my big sister."

Han was stunned: "You want to enter the palace?"

"Yeah." Cheng Wei nodded slightly.

"That won't work. How can you go out when you are not in good health? Even if you can hold on yourself, the nobles will feel uncomfortable. Wei'er, you are already 13 years old, don't be like a child, remember that every time you go out, you go out." .” Han categorically denied it.

Cheng Wei stood there, half a zhang away from Mrs. Han, but no longer approached half a step, biting his lips and saying, "But I miss Big Sister.

Tonight she was wearing light pink clothes and a snow-white fox fur cloak with green face, standing there pale as if outlined by ink, Han looked at the weak second daughter, thinking about how she went crazy not long ago , My heart softened after all: "How about this, I will pass the sign tomorrow morning, and see if it is not convenient for your elder sister to come out."

Speaking of this, Han's tone suddenly became severe: "If your eldest sister can't come out, don't hold any grudges. Ever since you were injured, your eldest sister has sent people to the house to deliver things, but it's all for you. It’s just that her identity is different now, so it’s not so easy to figure it out.”

Although Cheng Wei is young, she still vaguely knows the common sense that pregnant women are prone to miscarriage in the first three months. Hearing what Han said, she hurriedly shook her head, and said cruelly: "You don't need to hand over the sign. You can go to the palace after I recover. See Big Sister. I... I will be fine in three days at most."

Han raised her eyebrows: "Three days? Can you take off this cloth scarf?"

"can!"

Han breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."

After that, the mother and daughter were in an awkward silence that was relatively wordless.

"Mother, then I'll go back to Feixu Residence first."

Han subconsciously rubbed her painful fingertips, nodded and said, "Go back, it will get colder later."

Cheng Wei retreated silently, and when she got back to her residence, Huanyan and Qiaorong cleaned her face and warmed her feet, and lay down on the bed.

There was only a faint candlelight in the room, and Cheng Wei couldn't feel it. As long as he thought about taking off the cloth towel even if he was afraid again in three days, he felt anxious and couldn't sleep. Qiaorong was about to scold her mother, and then gradually there was no movement.

On the morning of the second day, when everyone went to Nian Song Hall to pay their respects, there was a lot of commotion.

Mrs. Huairenbo old lady Meng asked Han with a sullen face: "What's going on, it's fine, why are there rumors everywhere that Wei'er is insane!"

Han's heart sank: "What does the old lady say?"

"How to put it, you'll know if you send someone out to inquire about it!" The old lady's face sank, and she gave Han a hard look, "When the second child comes back, you can talk to him, so that you can take your daughter to her mother's house. There are so many moths out there!"

When the old lady mentioned Master Cheng Er, Han's complexion changed slightly, he twisted the handkerchief with both hands, and did not say a word.

The old lady didn't stop there, she raised her voice and said: "Ah Fu, Axi, you guys go to Feixu Residence and ask the third girl to take off the cloth scarf, and I will take her to Xuanqing Temple to offer incense later."

"Old madam!" Han Shi was in a hurry, "Wei'er's head injury is still not healed, so she can't go out for bumps."

The old lady said nonchalantly: "I asked the third child, Wei'er's head was just a little bit of skin trauma, it's not serious, Xuan Qingguan is in the city again, why the bumps? Han, don't be confused, Wei'er It is more sincere to go to burn incense with wounds. If you don't take this opportunity to let her meet people, don't you really want her to bear the reputation of being insane in the future? Then should she marry? Sisters, Including Yun'er, the marriage will be dragged down!"

Cheng Fangying, Chen Lingyun's mother, immediately echoed: "What mother said is, second sister-in-law, you should listen to mother's arrangements. These years, throughout the house, mother has arranged everything properly, compared to us frizzy powerful."

There is no way for Lingyun to implicate her!

Han Shi secretly gritted her teeth angrily after being ridiculed by Cheng Fangying.

"Hurry up!" The old lady raised her eyes and glanced at the two maidservants.

Seeing Ah Fu and Ah Xi walking out, Han couldn't care about anything else, and shouted, "Stop!"

"Han Shi!"

Mrs. Han knelt down, and the bluestone ground was icy cold, which made her firm in her tone: "Old madam, no matter what, Wei'er can't go out today. Not only is she injured on her forehead, but she has been lethargic for the past few days. If she goes out again , will not be able to bear it!"

"Mr. Han, do you mean to disobey me?"

Han shi knelt straight: "Daughter-in-law dare not, it's just Wei'er's current situation, she really can't go out."

Over the years, she has never had such a clear objection to this tough mother-in-law. It is not because of her soft temper, but because of her admiration for that person when she first entered the door, which made her face the woman who gave birth to him. Unable to be tough, and later, gradually got used to this way of getting along.However, no matter how cold her relationship with her second daughter was, she was also the child born in October of her pregnancy. She thought she was not up to date, and blamed her for causing her to lose her son, but she never thought of putting her life in danger.

The old lady was used to being one and the same, so she couldn't bear Han's provocation, and immediately said loudly to the two servant girls: "Hurry up, if you can't move your legs, I won't want these legs!"

Ah Fu and Ah Xi turned pale with fright, turned around and hurried out.

Kneeling there, Mrs. Han was angry and anxious, watching the two maidservants about to walk out of the door, she was quick-witted, took off a pair of cotton shoes on her feet and threw them over.

Different from ordinary women in the boudoir, Han Shi has been practiced before, and her hands are quite accurate. Two cotton shoes flew over in the wind. Ah Fu turned his head when he heard the movement, and was immediately slapped on the face by a cotton shoe. Letting out a shrill scream, Ah Xi was a little dull and didn't turn back. He was hit by the padded shoes on the hollow of his knee, and he staggered forward and fell on Ah Fu's body. sound.

The old lady Meng was completely confused by this incident, she pointed at Han "you, you, you" with trembling hands for a long time, but didn't say anything else.

The others stared dumbfounded at the two maidservants on the ground, and then slowly moved towards Mrs. Han, thinking in unison, they really deserve to be mother and daughter. Last summer, the third girl threw an embroidered shoe on the fourth girl's face, she must have got it The true biography of my mother!
"Mr. Han!" The old lady finally came to her senses, she was about to turn over and get off the kang table as soon as she slapped the table.

At this time, a servant girl walked in quickly, carefully walked around Ah Fu and Ah Xi who were on the ground, and said: "Old Madam, the Crown Princess is here."

PS: Thanks for the rewards from the children's shoes. I will take the train back to Wuhan tomorrow. After sitting for so long, I get a headache just thinking about it.
