Chapter 009 The Old Man

　　Gui mom, however, ignored, collected the water basin, came back to Song's affirmative: "You can swindle the slave girl, can not swindle yourself? The slave girl knows that you don't know what's going on in your heart!" 　　As the words fell, the room fell silent. 　　A strand of hair on the side of her cheek slipped into the collar of her coat, slightly itching. Xie Shuning gritted her teeth and endured it, fearing that she would be exposed if she moved. 　　After an unknown amount of time, she heard Mama Gui softly say, "The slave girl is clumsy and doesn't know how to speak, and her brain isn't very bright, so she can't help you with many things. According to the slave girl's view, you should still write a letter back to let Sister Jiang hurry to the capital." 　　"It's a long way between Kyoto and Yanling, and Nanny's body isn't good at her age, so how can she withstand the bumpy ride." Song's deep voice picked up, "However, if I have Nurse Maiden by my side, I would be able to have a few more moments of peace." 　　Xie Shuning listened with bated breath, but she was somewhat unable to recall which Sister Jiang was the one in their words. 　　Vaguely, there seemed to be an image of a thin, stern woman flashing in her mind, but if she wanted to see more clearly, she was unable to. The more she could not think of anything else, the more she could not think of anything else. In her previous life, after returning to the Xie family, she hadn't seen this Sister Jiang. Now listening to her mother's meaning, Sister Jiang is sick, so this time did not follow them to the capital. 　　But illness, there is always the day of healing. 　　In her previous life, why did she never enter the capital? 　　Or, what prevented her from entering the Xie family? 　　For a while, Xie Shuning's mind was in a state of flux. 　　Just judging from the words of Mama Gui and Song, she could tell how capable Sister Jiang was. No matter what, Sister Jiang should at least be well versed in the affairs of the inner sanctum. And the more such people there were at the moment, the better! Most importantly, Song's previous life had ended in depression, but if that Sister Jiang was by her mother's side, perhaps things could be very different. 　　Thinking like this, she moved her heart. 　　When she was about to open her eyes, there seemed to be a commotion outside. 　　Someone rushed in, "Mistress, we have too many things, there are still a lot of things that can not be accommodated. The Sixth Master sent the slave girl to ask you if the remaining ones should be shelved in another place, or simply moved to this Zhilanzhai." 　　"Can't be accommodated?" Song's surprise came out of her mouth. 　　"That's right, this mansion has only prepared a sparrow-sized plot of land, how can it be enough!" It was a slightly buoyant female voice. 　　Xie Shuning almost laughed out loud at her words, and in front of her eyes, a group of people from the Xie family already appeared to be dumbfounded as they looked at Song's dowry and luggage. 　　In the eyes of the third old lady and Chen, her mother was initially just a merchant's daughter, and her status and knowledge were inferior to others. This thousands of miles to come to the capital, afraid to bring a few pieces of luggage. Unbeknownst to them, what they see today is only a part of it. 　　She remembers when her mother was afraid of the long journey, things more inconvenience, only brought a part of it. The rest of those divided into two, it is not convenient to take away will remain in the Yanling, by someone to take care of. Mother's dowry, and some antiques and paintings and other things will be invited to the dart board escorted to the capital. Counting the days, it is the matter of these days. 　　A fleet of objects, it is really no wonder that the Xie family will move the heart. The world who do not love money, those who are officials are even more love. 　　Up and down the point of order, the exchange of favors, where will not have to use to the silver? And boasts a hairpin family, everyone is busy studying to be an official, not good at common affairs, those stores and manors year-round and how much income? 　　How can those shops and manor houses generate much income in a year? How can a few officials afford to pay for the expenses like running water? In and out of but just about even. 　　A group of swollen face to fill the fat things! 　　Xie Shuning secretly despised, and in her ear she heard Song say, "In that case, I'll go myself." 　　This time in the capital, they hadn't brought many people with them, so there were even fewer people around her mother that she could use. When Xie Shuning quietly opened her eyes a crack, she saw that Mama Gui had sent the eldest maid, Qiangwei, who had been serving in her room, in, and she herself went out to follow her mother. 　　In a few moments, there was no one in the room. 　　It was only when all the voices in her ears fell silent that Xie Shuning opened her eyes wide and surveyed the room she was in. 　　Chen's good face, no matter what, will not be in these daily chores harsh treatment, so the house should have furnishings have long been selected the best put good. Also know that they are today, the ground dragon has long been burned, perhaps for fear of people in the south of the cold, and in the corner of the more point a fire pit. At this moment there is a steady stream of hot air from the inside, smoked warm room. 　　"Sister Rosebud." Xie Shuning inclined her head and called out towards Qiangwei who was sitting on a stool. 　　"Ya, miss is awake." Qiangwei raised her head at the sound, a face that was suitable for joy and anger, smiling brightly, "Is miss thirsty, will the slave girl pour you a cup of water?" 　　Waking up on a hot bed and sweating, naturally she was thirsty. Xie Shuning then nodded. 　　Qiangwei then got up and hurriedly walked to a long low table by the wall, lifting the doucai teapot to make a teapot of water and brought it over. She set the teapot on the bed table before carefully helping Xie Shuning up, one hand supporting her back, about to fetch the teapot to feed her, when she saw the curtains at the door suddenly being raised, and in came a long-faced woman with a bright voice: "When did the eighth young lady wake up, the slave girl was actually late." 　　"Mama Li!" Xie Shuning peered over, and when she saw the visitor clearly, she subconsciously exclaimed in a low voice. 　　Seeing the corners of her mouth opening and closing, the long-faced woman couldn't help but approach with quick steps, saying, "What did eighth miss say?" 　　Xie Shuning was startled, and then secretly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was far away and had not raised her voice to shout, so the visitor did not hear what she said clearly. She then shook her head and looked away from Qiang Wei to signal her to fetch a tea cup, but she might as well have Qiang Wei looking at her with a puzzled expression. 　　"Water!" Xie Shuning lowered her eyes, purposely puffing out her cheeks in exasperation. 　　Qiangwei panicked and went to fetch the tea cup, but was snatched up by the woman with the long face of Rong. 　　"Eighth young miss drink slowly." Holding the tea cup in one hand, she smiled as she said to Xie Shuning, "Did eighth miss sleep well? The front is very chaotic, the sixth master and madam can't get away now, so madam has asked the slave girl to take care of you. You can just call my servant servant Li mama." 　　When the words stopped, Xie Shuning's face remained unchanged, but Qiangwei by the side immediately turned white, fortunately, Li Mama, who only cared about feeding water to Xie Shuning, didn't realize it. 　　Xie Shuning, on the other hand, swallowed the warm water in small bites until the tea cup of water was finished, and then she looked at mother Li with a crooked smile and said: ''Mother Li? But I already have Mama Gui to take care of me!" 　　The smile on mama Li's face stagnated, "Mama Gui followed eighth miss from Jiangnan and is unfamiliar with life in Kyoto, that's why mama sent the slave girl." 　　She was not a member of the Song family. 　　Xie Shuning knew that the madam in her mouth was referring to Chen, so a meaningful smile flashed quickly across her fleshy little face, and she said in a thin voice, "Oh, it's like this." After she finished speaking, without waiting for mom Li to react, she immediately added, "Then what do you do?"
