Mother Liang didn't understand this very well. She looked at the people doing farm work outside, then at Mrs. Qi, and said with a smile: "Madam, please don't lie to your slaves.
When I was a child, my family was a real farmer, and I really worked in the fields when I was a child. But now I have almost forgotten what they did when I saw them, and I don’t even know what they are doing now.
do what."
Ms. Qi smiled and shook her head, "That's not what you're talking about. When your master said I could go out at will, I was happy at that moment. I felt that I could finally be free after being locked up for so long.
But in fact, after I came out, I realized that there was no room for me in that family at all.
Wherever I go, I'm either being looked at as if I'm looking at something strange, or I'm simply ignored.
To put it bluntly, everyone there is just equal to her identity and rights, even if in theory, it is a family.
And when I lost my identity, my rights, my husband's trust and love, and my power as a housekeeper, I was no longer me, at least not who I originally thought I was.
And I didn’t find a new place for myself in that place, so even though there were people around me, even though I could go anywhere, the result was that I actually seemed to be unable to go anywhere.”
It was a bit difficult to say this, but Liang's mother had been with her for such a long time, especially during the time when she didn't see anyone else in the Summer Palace.
After hearing this, she understood Qi's mood.
"So, Madam, is she feeling herself at this time?"
Mrs. Qi nodded, agreeing with her statement, "Yes, you see, I don't know those people, and it's impossible for me to have any communication with them.
But when I saw them working there, I knew they were farming for food in the autumn. I saw the sun in the sky shining on the wild flowers and grass on the road, and I felt it real, like life.
Really.
These seemingly lifeless plants grow wantonly on such roadsides, absorbing the sunlight and water they need, without having to worry about anyone pruning them.
As for the farmers in the fields, they just have to do what they are doing, and the crops they plant will not grow well or poorly depending on their status.
Everything they do is genuine and they are waiting for time to reward them. This feeling is really great."
Mother Liang looked at the woman opposite and was speechless for a moment.
Mrs. Qi was immersed in her own emotions, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. Seeing her looking at him like this, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Did I say something a little too strange for you to understand?"
"I really don't understand what the wife said, but when I look at such a wife and listen to you talking like this, I feel very comfortable and like it very much. At the same time...it also makes me feel very relieved."
I don’t know if she was affected by her emotions, but Mother Liang, who has always been very concerned about rules, forgot to call herself a "slave" at this moment, and Mrs. Qi didn't seem to notice, and just smiled and said: "Then let's stay here longer.
Some time!
I guess Brother Lang won't come back so soon, so now I'm just worried about him."
"That's fine. After all, the old lady also said that you can just stay here and don't worry about your family. Why don't we just send a letter to my brother and ask him to send all his future letters here?"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Qi shook her head and said, "Don't bother me. I can't trust you, but your character is not a problem."
If there is a letter from Brother Lang to me, he will have it delivered. There is nothing inconvenient about the connection between here and the capital. Anyway, just wait for one more day.
If I let Brother Lang know that I have moved to another courtyard, I'm afraid he will think more about it. It's already hard enough for him to be alone outside, but also to make him worry about home, he won't even be able to do things well.
Moreover, the world is not peaceful now, and this child has a sincere heart. I am always worried that he will do something impulsive because of his thoughts.
No matter how powerful our family is, we are unable to control the local area. We can only let people take care of one or two things. It is impossible to control the overall situation."
While talking, the carriage finally arrived at the other courtyard.
As originally thought, the peach blossoms in the other courtyard have already bloomed at this time, and you can see a pink patch in the distance, which is refreshing and refreshing.
The people in the other courtyard had already received the news and were waiting at the door counting the time.
However, it was not as Qi originally thought that once the emperor and his courtiers saw him coming, their attitudes would change greatly from before.
The servants were also very polite when they saw Mother Liang.
Because there is no one else here, let alone any elders, isn't this the master who comes over this time?
As soon as he arrived, he went directly to the dining room. The kitchen was busy cooking, and everything on the menu was Qi's favorite food.
Looking at the dishes, you can tell that the house has already given a greeting, probably because there is a fixed number of meals every day.
However, the people here are attentive and the dishes they serve are very delicious.
Mother Liang gave a few people some money as a reward, and then she personally served Qi's meal. "Everyone here was brought up by my wife, and they all feel grateful for my kindness!"
Look at these, you can see that they are all done with care, so from now on, my wife will just live here peacefully, and when the matter is over, we will watch the time and go back."
Even if Mother Liang didn't say anything, the Qi family had forgotten about it. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that everyone here was assigned by themselves.
"The wife of this other courtyard also put a lot of thought into it. Because she knew that the old lady liked peach blossoms, she even had a large area planted. Unfortunately, at most, she only came here twice a year. It was a pity that she had put all her efforts into it."
Mrs. Qi couldn't help but smile and said: "What's such a pity about this? Isn't this useful now? Now I am here alone to enjoy the flowers! No one will disturb me, and I don't need to wait for anything!"
In autumn, there are still peaches to harvest here, and I remember that I specifically told my subordinates to select the best varieties."
"Yes, yes! The peaches here are so good! They come out every year, and they are sent to the house. But my wife doesn't bother to taste them, so she sends them to various courtyards. The people below will get a share, and they will be sent to the house."
There are only a few of you and the people in front of you, and you don’t like eating these melons very much, so naturally you didn’t remember them.”
Mrs. Qi found it very interesting as she listened to Liang's mother nagging about these things. The most interesting thing was that she felt that the cause she had planted in the past was now bearing fruit.
"It can be seen that God treats me well. Seeing that I have put a lot of thought into it, it is hard for me not to enjoy it for a whole day, so he just let me enjoy it quietly."
Even though I say that, it is still a little difficult to be completely undisturbed.
