Chapter 448 Brothers Go to Battle Together
The middle-aged woman said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Ordinary people love their only son very much, let alone the only son of the general's wife. How can she not treasure him?"
The sense of disobedience in Xie Xingchuan's heart became more and more serious, and he asked, "How does Mrs. Xie dote on this child?"
Even though too many years have passed, for the middle-aged woman, her days at the Xie family are completely "life experiences", so she remembers every scene of the past very clearly.
"The children of a rich family are different from those of our small family. When the young master sneezes, the wife becomes very anxious. I was able to join the family back then because I learned some medical skills from my father who died long ago. My wife also There is a doctor in the house. The young master feels a little uncomfortable, so he goes to the doctor. "
"The young master cried twice more, and the madam was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night long. There were so many people in the house waiting for her. When the young master fell ill, the madam personally stayed with her at night, and brought good things like running water into the young master's yard. , the fine mutton-fat jade, the young master smashed it to pieces, but the lady was not angry, she only asked him if he was happy, she didn't care about money at all..."
One after another, Xie Xingchuan couldn't believe that the person the woman was talking about was his mother.
The middle-aged woman recalled something again: "When the young master was seriously ill, I heard my wife secretly say that she prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky and would rather trade her own life for the young master's. I heard that the wife had a family." The temple was efficacious, so I went to the temple and knelt for a whole day. Such a noble person, for the sake of his own son, didn’t even care until his head was bruised and bloody.”
Xie Xingchuan has now confirmed that this person is definitely not the mother in his memory. He has received countless looks and dislikes from Mrs. dislike.
Xie Xingchuan removed all the impossibilities. No matter how outrageous the guess was, the truth gradually came closer to his mind. He asked, "You went to serve Master Xie. Does the young master have any birthmarks or moles on his body?"
The middle-aged woman said: "When I came to see the young master, he was only five months old. I have taken care of him for more than a year, and I once took him to bathe. I remember that there was a black mole on his ankle, but it was Which foot, I can’t remember.”
Xie Xingchuan was now extremely convinced that he was not Mrs. Xie's son, and there were no moles on either of his ankles.
So who is he?
Who is his biological mother?
The first thing Xie Xingchuan thought of was the outer room his father had built in the border town.
His father and mother have been separated for many years. Like many generals, his father has another home in the border town. In that home, there is a sister who is four years older than him. When he returns to the border town, he will investigate carefully.
"Do you still have contact with the other servants who served Master Xie?" Xie Xingchuan asked.
The middle-aged woman named a few names, but these people were not in the capital, but in other places.
Xie Xingchuan casually threw a few silver ingots to the two of them, and asked Xiao Song to take them away.
The woman's husband didn't know anything about the Xie family. The reason why they were kidnapped together was because he was afraid that the woman would not return home all night and her husband's family would suspect her innocence.
Outside the house, Xiaosong put masks on the eyes of the couple again, and also told them not to talk about what happened today, as he warned them that they might be killed.
Xie Xingchuan, who was in the room, was still huddled in the shadows. Xiaosong sent the two of them away and turned back, but he didn't even notice that he had moved his position.
"Master?" Xiaosong asked softly.
Xie Xingchuan said after a long time: "Go back."
Early the next morning, Xie Xingchuan went out.
When Mrs. Xie received the news, she couldn't help complaining: "You don't know how to raise a thing, and he runs away as soon as you get home. How can I count on him in the future?"
Nanny Xie looked embarrassed and said, "Madam, maybe the young master has something important to do when he goes out. Don't think too much about it."
Mrs. Xie sneered: "Everyone in the yamen has been sealed. If he has anything to do, he must have gone to the Gu family again. He recognized his godson and thought he was getting married."
Grandma Xie sighed: "Madam, no matter how much you don't like the young master, he is your hope for life after all. If he doesn't make a difference, that's it. Now that he has a bright future, do you want to just watch the hard work like this?" After all these years, I ended up making a wedding dress for someone else?”
Mrs. Xie didn't like Xie Xingchuan, and she didn't want to see Xie Xingchuan get too close to the Gu family and make a joke about her godmother being more important than her.
Seeing her relaxed expression, Grandma Xie breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Chuan, you are back. My wife was still talking about you this morning." The Gu family's concierge said happily.
As soon as he entered Gu's house, Xie Xingchuan felt that his breathing seemed to become much easier, and the depression in his heart seemed to gradually dissipate.
After Zhang Yunniang sent her godson away yesterday, she always felt unhappy. Now that she is back, her heart is finally relieved. When she saw Xie Xingchuan, she immediately asked: "Did you eat in the morning? I went to cook you a bowl of wontons yesterday. The girl has packed a lot, and it’s just a cold day, so she can keep it.”
"Didn't eat."
"Then Godmother will cook wontons for you right now." Zhang Yunniang agreed with a smile.
Zhang Yunniang's cooking skills are average, but these wontons were made by a crazy girl, and the whole family can trust her skills.
Xie Xingchuan was really hungry, so he sat in the kitchen and ate three large bowls before finally feeling full.
Niu Niu trotted in and grabbed Xie Xingchuan's clothes: "Brother, have you eaten? Come on, come on, we're going to play cards."
Just before leaving, Zhang Yunniang pulled Xie Xingchuan aside and told him: "You will meet a girl in her teens in a while. She is not very clear-headed. If she says something crazy, don't take it to heart."
Shuying was crazy, and Zhang Yunniang kept stopping outsiders from seeing her. Xie Xingchuan actually knew from other channels that there was someone hiding in the backyard of the Gu family. Zhang Yunniang felt that if she kept it a secret from him, it would be awkward.
Xie Xingchuan saved the lives of the Gu family many times. Zhang Yunniang felt that although Xie Xingchuan was young, he was a very promising child and would probably not go out and talk nonsense.
Xie Xingchuan was pulled to the backyard by his sister.
A table had been set up here, with a pile of square wooden cards on the table, with various patterns carved on them.
"This is called mahjong. Sister Shuying taught me. My eldest brother wants to study, and my father is writing a storybook. Fortunately, you came today, otherwise we couldn't play." Niuniu said happily.
"But I don't know how to play." Xie Xingchuan said.
Gu Zhaocai had only played a few times, and now he was addicted to the game. He urged: "Learn while playing! Hurry up!"
As soon as Xie Xingchuan sat down, Shuying said: "Brothers are on the same battlefield, Miss San, we have to prevent them from cheating!"
