Chapter 74 Pushing the Waves
Early in the morning, Gong Xu went to Madam Gong to say hello.
He takes a rest today so that he can spend more time with his family.
"Did you not sleep well last night, old lady?" Gong Xu found that his mother was a little tired.
“It was okay in the first half of the night, but I didn’t sleep well in the second half of the night.” Mrs. Gong couldn’t help but yawned as she said, “There was a lot of noise in Chang’an last night, and I woke up when I heard the noise. ”
"What's wrong with Chang'an?" Gong Xu asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"To tell the master, the slave was in front of the fourth young master last night. He had a nightmare and woke up." Sang Er He said with some fear, "He kept saying that there was a child in red clothes and green pants sitting on his chest and he couldn't breathe."
"Why are you so unruly? "Master, what are you talking about?" Wei Shi reprimanded his servant in a rare and severe manner.
The reason why she is like this is that she knows there is a taboo here.
The relationship between Wen Mingqian and Gong Xu has eased slightly, and bringing up the events of that year again, doesn’t it make Gong Xu hate Wen Mingqian again?
However, Sang Er was new here and didn't know what happened back then, so he couldn't hold back what he said.
"Okay, take Chang'an back to the Second Madam!" Mrs. Gong said, "Tell her that she doesn't need to come to say hello, I'm going to catch up on her sleep now."
"Yes." Sang Er withdrew with some shame.
Gong Xu had no expression on his face, sitting there as if he were a clay sculpture.
"Many years have passed since this happened. I have already said that it is time to turn the page." Mrs. Gong reminded her son, "You also promised me, didn't you?"
"Don't worry, mother, I remember everything my son said." Gong Xu smiled after saying this, but it was a bit forced.
"Yesterday your wife told me that these two girls she bought are to be your aunts." Mrs. Gong changed the subject, "I was thinking about Yunying's girl. If you are more mature, you can take her into the house for now. As for Sang Er, she is still a little childish. Let’s wait for a year or two.”
“It’s all up to my mother,” Gong Xu said obediently. Said, "The old lady always thinks more carefully than we do."
"Since you agreed, tell them to choose a good day. Put a few tables of wine and invite some people to have a good time. These Things have not been going well for our family, and you are giving a false alarm. Aunt Song is not in peace either, so why not take this opportunity to rejoice?" Mrs. Gong mentioned Mrs. Song in passing.
"As long as the old lady said yes," Gong Xu said, "Son, just obey your orders."
"Okay, then go ahead! I'm really tired, but I have to sleep again." Mrs. Gong yawned again.
"You servants must be more careful. If the old lady still feels uncomfortable, please quickly ask the doctor not to delay." Gong Xu said to the servants on the side.
"It's nothing, I just missed my sleep. My body is not that weak yet." Mrs. Gong smiled, "I will also eat Zhang Ma's cooking for lunch. You guys should come and join me. Eat. We haven’t had a table to eat for several days.”
Seeing that the old lady was in high spirits, Gong Xu agreed with a smile.
After walking out of the door, he was still a little gloomy in his heart.
Sang Er said that Gong Changan had a nightmare, and he knew who the child in the dream was.
Of course I thought of Mrs. Song, but I seemed to have neglected her in the past two days, which was very inappropriate.
"Master, do you want to go back to the study? Or go to the street?" the boy asked him.
"Don't go out, go to the little madam's side." Gong Xu said and walked towards the west.
"Master, you are here!" When Mrs. Yang saw Gong Xu, she seemed to have seen a Bodhisattva, and she almost knelt down and kowtowed. Seeing her like this, Gong Xu couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"
"Please go in and see the little madam!" Mrs. Yang wiped her tears, "There has been a lot of noise these past two days!"
"What? Is she feeling unwell again? "Gong Xu was very worried and guilty.
"After taking the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor, the fetus is much more stable." Mrs. Yang said while lifting the curtain for Gong Xu, "It's just...just..."
"It's just what "What can't you say?" Gong Xu entered the room while he was talking.
Mrs. Song was the only one in the room.
"Master..." Mrs. Song burst into tears as soon as she saw Gong Xu, with an expression as if she could no longer bear it after being wronged and seeing her relatives.
"Don't cry. What wronged you? Just tell me." Gong Xu walked over heartbroken.
"Master, I can't bear it anymore, so I can only tell you the truth." Mrs. Song sobbed, "I have been really suffering these days."
" What are you hiding from me? Didn't you tell me? You can tell me anything, don't hold it in your heart," Gong Xu comforted her by patting her on the back.
"Actually, I had been dreaming frequently earlier, dreaming about Kang'an...he was back again. He called me A Niang in the dream, said he died unjustly, and asked me to avenge him...
He also said, why should I greet my enemy with a smile? He blames me for forgetting how tragic his death was...
He haunts me in his dreams every night, telling me How wronged he was, how painful it was...
But I can't say these words to anyone, and I can't bear to make you suffer...
I thought it would pass if I endured it. But who would have thought... who would have thought... that he would get more and more violent
The day before yesterday, when the fourth young master, the young prince of the Feng family, and Baoan were playing together, they all said they saw a child in red clothes and green trousers running into my room.
What is even more frightening is that Baoan said that he also had a dream after falling asleep. He dreamed of a little brother wearing red clothes and green trousers who asked him to eat rose cakes.
This child was very noisy all day yesterday. He insisted on wearing red clothes, green pants, and eating rose cake. Master, I really can't stand it anymore..."
"Yes! Master, we are all afraid. The fifth young master was very noisy yesterday, crying and screaming. Mrs. Yang also helped, "My little madam is pregnant with a child now and is very weak." The fifth young master is young and can see unclean things.
If we really want to continue making trouble, how can we stop it? ”
Gong Xu did not doubt what they said, because Gong Changan also dreamed of the child.
Many people do not believe in ghosts and gods, but this disbelief is often not absolute. More people have the mentality of "I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist."
"Don't be afraid, I'll ask someone to invite a mage." Gong Xu said immediately, "Just come and get rid of the evil spirits."
"Then I'll bother you, sir. Now that there is an old lady and a madam on top, I can't make the decision on my own," Mrs. Song said while wiping her tears, "But I heard that there is a very wise Master Zhang Tianshi from Xijing in Longhu Temple. If you can invite him, I can. That's the best."
"Okay! I'll write a message and send it to him," Gong Xu said, "ask him to come as soon as possible."
