Fragrance Returned

Chapter 4 Sneaking out of the house

Xunxiang had heard this voice. It was the girl from Xikuoyuan, who was Mama Li's subordinate.

Mother Li said, "No, I'm just hungry. Just eat. It's getting late, so you can go and have a rest."

"oh."

The footsteps fade away.

Xun Xiang was furious and continued to cry.

Another set of footsteps came over, "Sister, why are you crying so hard?"

The voice was quite majestic. It was Grandma Yan, the steward of the main courtyard.

Li's mother's attitude suddenly improved and she said with a smile, "My sister is very smart. She likes to look for me during the day and likes to look for Xia Er's family at night. Oops, for some reason, Xia Er's family suddenly got a rash on her face. She didn't dare to come. I'm serving my sister and resting in the house."

Grandma Yan was surprised and said, "Xia Er's family has a rash? Why didn't you tell us earlier? It will be a sin for us if my sister is over the illness."

Grandma Li said, "I was just going to tell you. Fortunately, I am the one who breastfeeds during the day, otherwise my sister would also be in danger."

As she spoke, she wiped Xunxiang's tears with a piece of handkerchief, and pressed her nose again. It was supposed to be used tomorrow morning, but Nizi couldn't stop crying, so she had to use it in advance.

Xunxiang was so sleepy that she had no strength to cry. She knew that Granny He gave the veil to this evil slave.

The master stopped crying, and Grandma Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said, "Tomorrow morning, let Xia Er's family leave the house to recuperate. She is not allowed to get close to my sister again. If that doesn't work, I will arrange for her to leave now."

The footsteps gradually faded away. Xunxiang was anxious but couldn't help it and fell asleep.

I slept so deeply that I didn't wake up the next morning.

At the end of the year, Grandma He carried a covered wooden box to the west courtyard of Qijin Hall of Princess Dongyang Mansion.

When I gave Sister Feng some medicine when she was in Xun Mansion, she would fall asleep all the time, only to wake up in the afternoon, and get a rash at night.

In order to prevent others from discovering the clues, the box is round. Although it is relatively large, it cannot be wrapped in quilts, and the child has to curl up while lying in it. Fortunately, the baby was soft and slept soundly.

Grandma He couldn't express the weight of the box, but it felt very easy to carry it.

She lowered her eyes and walked away quickly, her appearance as usual. Only she knew how uncomfortable and nervous she felt at this time. There was a lot of sweat on her back, hair, nose, and palms.

She was afraid that the box would suddenly fall if she didn't hold it firmly, or that a vicious dog or a person would suddenly rush out and knock her down, knocking the child out...

The little girl who opened the door recognized her and said with a smile, "Nanny, why are you looking for Mother Li?"

"Yes. Mother Li said yesterday that the cloth is soft and suitable for making diapers for my sister. My eldest wife asked me to send some more."

With that said, Grandma He stuffed a purse into the little girl's hand.

It was rare for the little girl to receive a reward, so she happily invited Grandma He in.

Qijin Hall was very quiet except for two birds chirping from the trees.

Aunt He went straight to Xikuoyuan.

Mother Li was pacing back and forth in the room anxiously.

Just now, she hugged the sleeping Xunxiang to her chest, lifted up her clothes and pretended to breastfeed. She also walked around the hall, deliberately letting the girls see her.

After "feeding" the milk, he asked the girl to bring in a basin of warm water, and then sent two second-class girls to the sewing room with some plain rulers to make clothes and hats for the sister.

He also said, "The Queen Mother has passed away and has to wear plain clothes for a year. The clothes I made for my sister before were a bit colorful, so I need to make a few more plain ones. My sister has a distinguished status, so I still need to embroider some flowers." …”

Only the eldest and second-class girls are qualified to enter the mistress's bedroom. The eldest girl, Mei Ju, was sick and asked for leave in the morning and went home.

When Grandma He finally came in, she hurriedly closed the door.

The two came to the bedroom, put the box on the bed, and took Xunfeng out of it.

Xunfeng was wearing Xunxiang's clothes and Xunxiang's hat, and was sleeping soundly. This set of clothes was brought back by Grandma He yesterday.

Mother Li gave Xunfeng a small gold bracelet with little kitten eyes and small southern beads to wear. The small bracelet was given by the Queen, and Princess Dongyang personally put it on Xunxiang's wrist yesterday morning.

Lowering his head and smelling it again, Xunfeng's body did exude a light fragrance, which was roughly similar to the smell of Xunxiang's body.

Aunt He stuffed the xunxiang into the box. She didn't dare to use too much force for fear of waking Xunxiang.

Aunt He put the lid on, and Mother Li wrapped Xunfeng in a quilt and put her on the bed. The two looked at each other, feeling uncomfortable.

They have to successfully deliver the Xun Xiang to Mrs. Xun's hands and a rash appears on Sister Xun's face, then they can basically complete the task.

The two of them had no intention of talking, and after a while of silence, Grandma He picked up the box and left Qijin Hall.

I felt more uneasy going back than when I came.

After finally getting on the carriage smoothly, and the carriage slowly drove out of the princess's mansion, Grandma He wiped the sweat from her face with her sleeves and let out a long breath.

She opened the corner of the curtain and saw that the vermilion door with its green oily copper door knocker and forty-five large copper nails was left far behind. She withdrew her gaze and looked at the wooden box.

Xiao Nizi was so fascinated that she never cried. It is better to sleep in the night and die young.

She chanted the Buddha's name silently. Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. If you want to hate her, just hate your grandmother who died early. Who made her offend the eldest lady? From now on, all your wealth will be enjoyed by the eldest lady's granddaughter.

Sister Feng's life is really good. No wonder he turned into a phoenix after taking this name.

Grandma He sighed, feeling anxious. She didn't want to do this either. If she was discovered, her whole family would be ruined, not to mention her fate. But the master asked her to do it, how dare she not do it...

The carriage drove into Yinfeng Street. The road was not wide, and the sounds of hawking came one after another on both sides.

Suddenly, the neighing of horses and the screams of people came from ahead.

The coachman was Grandma He's nephew He Shun. He said in surprise, "Second Aunt, the horse is frightened in front of us."

He got out of the car and pulled his horse to the side. There were many people and stalls on the roadside, so it was difficult to pass by. The horse screamed and stopped on the spot.

Aunt He had no choice but to carry the box and get out of the car.

The frightened horse pulled a carriage and ran towards this side, knocking over the stalls on the roadside, and people screamed and ran away.

In the crowd, the wooden box in Nanny He's hand was squeezed to the ground, and people were pushed forward by the crowd. She wanted to turn around and pick up the box, but she was too old and weak to squeeze through others.

She was so frightened that she turned around and shouted loudly, "He Shun, carry the wooden box, that's what the eldest lady wants."

Out of fear, the shouting was extremely terrifying, as if someone was trying to kill her.

He Shun didn't know what was in the box, but seeing Grandma He being so scared, it must be important to know what was in the box.

He ignored the carriage and rushed into the crowd. He was so tall that he tried his best to push the people next to him away. Fortunately, there weren't too many people there, so he didn't step on the box. He picked up the wooden box and followed the flow of people.

He also shouted loudly to Aunt He who was being carried by the crowd, "Second Aunt, I picked up the box."

The box in Ding Zhao's hand was also squeezed out. He pushed away the person who squeezed him and bent down to pick up the box.

Follow the flow of people and walk out of the street, where the flow of people disperses.
