Chapter 57
The mother and daughter decided to move as soon as they said it.The next morning, Yunxia got up, and after finishing cleaning, she rushed to her mother's yard with Xiuzhu.

The two of them had agreed last night that since they wanted to act quietly, they would not take Yun Xiao to their grandfather's house today, so as not to attract the attention of the old woman.

The mother and daughter went to greet the old woman together, and then the mother packed up and was ready to go.They all agree that it is to go shopping.Xiangmei and Xiuzhu went to arrange the carriage first, while the two walked behind.

The weather is getting hotter and it looks like it will be summer.The mother and daughter walked around the flower garden in the mansion, and saw the red roses blooming in full bloom, and the flowers were beautifully dotted on the branches, as if they were transformed from the red clouds in the sky.

Yunxia ran to the rose flower, sniffing the refreshing fragrance with her nose raised.The mother looked at her daughter, who was more delicate than Hua, and smiled with crooked eyebrows.

Behind this piece of roses is a rockery, at this moment there is a faint sound coming out.Yunxia held her breath and pricked up her ears to listen.

It seemed to be the voices of several girls, but they couldn't be heard clearly.Yunxia turned her head and made a gesture of covering her mouth to her mother, then pointed to the rockery, and then pointed to her ears.

Mother probably understood what she meant, and walked over gently.Yunxia whispered to her mother, "Someone is whispering behind the scenes, mother, I'll go and find out what they say."

The mother shook her head and whispered in her ear, "Xia'er don't listen, we're still on our way."

Seeing her mother's disapproval, Yunxia was about to listen to her mother's words and give up, but at this moment, the sound of suppressed sobbing came from the rockery.

Now Yunxia couldn't move her footsteps: "Mom, someone is crying, let's go and see." After speaking, she pulled her mother's sleeve and pulled it towards the rockery.

Pulled by her daughter, her mother followed her to the rockery.Arriving at the rockery, Yunxia climbed up the steps, leaning against the rockery and sticking her head out to have a look.

I saw green radish, purple vine and Dan Hua standing together under the flower tree behind the rockery, and the crying person was Dan Hua.

A few petals of the flower on the tree fluttered down with the wind, and quietly landed on Danhua's head, and Danhua's red and swollen tearful eyes, combined with the remaining flowers on her head, formed a quite sad and dazzling picture, and Yunxia's heart tugged. tight.

"Qingluo, draw as much as you have for Dan." Ziman said.

Dan Hua held the purple vine with one hand and the green radish with the other, and tears flowed out again.

Qing Luo took out a few copper coins from her sleeve, and put them all into Dan Hua's hands: "Take it and use it first, I'll borrow it later." Qing Luo's voice sounded like she was about to cry.

"Don't cry, Dan Hua, believe me, your father will be fine." Zi Man comforted her.

"Thank you, thank you..." Dan Hua choked up his thanks.

Ziman raised her hand and wiped her eyes: "You usually do your best to serve the second lady, but now the second lady doesn't give you any affection. I, I really don't know what to say. Hey! No wonder everyone said she is a tiger with a smiling face and unreliable of."

Qingluo patted Ziman and said: "Keep your voice down, be careful not to be overheard, we are all finished."

Yunxia retracted her head and winked at her mother. The mother and daughter retreated to a distance, and Yunxia told her mother what she saw and heard.

"It seems that something happened to Danhua's father, he needs money urgently." Mother concluded after hearing what her daughter said.

Yunxia nodded, looked at her mother and said, "Mom, let's help her. Look at her, she's so pitiful."

At this time, Xiu Zhu came over, approached and saluted, "Eldest Madam, Eldest Miss, the carriage is ready, Sister Xiangmei sent servants to pick you up, please!"

Seeing that the mother and daughter had a bad complexion, they stood still, Xiuzhu was suspicious, and quietly moved to the lady's side, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiu Zhu, have you heard what happened to Dan Hua's father?" Yun Xia didn't answer her question, but asked her suddenly.

"Well, I heard that it seems that Steward Ding failed to do what he told him to do. He was beaten dozens of times and was seriously injured."

"What? How can Steward Ding judge and lay off people without permission?" The mother was stunned.

Xiuzhu blinked, and said timidly: "The old lady is here too, it was the old lady's order that Dan Hua's father was beaten."

The mother's fair face turned red, and her voice was tinged with anger: "Nonsense, what did they do while the general was away? It's no wonder that the general's mansion has a harsh tongue for servants. Yunxia, ​​your father knows I'm sure I'll blow my beard and stare with anger, what's the matter. Let's go, let's ask Father Dan Hua about his current situation."

After finishing speaking, the mother went to the rockery first, Yunxia and Xiuzhu followed closely, and went around the rockery. When the three maids were about to leave, the mother stopped them.

The three of them looked at each other, wondering why the eldest lady and eldest lady suddenly appeared, did they hear what they said just now?However, at this moment, they couldn't think about it anymore, and the three of them bowed together and greeted the eldest lady and young miss together.

Looking at Dan Hua's haggard little face, the mother also felt pitiful.She cut to the chase and said, "Dan Hua, I just learned about your father being beaten from Xiu Zhu, how is your father now?"

"My servant thank you for your concern. Let me go back to what my lady said, my servant's father, he, he was so injured that he couldn't get out of bed, so he invited a doctor, and the doctor said that it would take a long time to recuperate." Dan Hua said with her head down, her voice was dull and deep hoarse.

"Ma'am, Painter Dan doesn't even have the money to treat her father." Zi Man interrupted suddenly.

"Zi Man, don't be rude, Mrs. Don't worry about her, her mouth is too fast." Qing Luo immediately blamed Zi Man.

"It's okay, Dan Hua, when was your father beaten?"

"Back to Da Furen, the servant's father has been beaten for more than half a month."

When Yun Xia heard this, her chest rose and fell with anger, and she even scolded Butler Ding in her heart, this is really a vicious, sinister and vicious person who knows no good or evil.Speaking of which, Dan Hua's father is also considered an old man in the house, and he handles things safely. In the past, his father often praised him.But I didn't expect to be abused by the old woman and Butler Ding like this, it's simply too deceiving, it's too much!
After thinking for a while, the mother ordered: "Xiuzhu, go and call Xiangmei here."

Xiu Zhu went in response.Yunxia took over the conversation and asked about Xia Danhua's father's injuries, and learned that it was a bad day, and the doctors invited two days ago even asked them to prepare for the funeral in private.

Even so, neither Yunhui nor her mother allowed Dan Hua to go home to take care of her. These were all told by her mother when she came to work in the mansion.This morning, my mother cried and told her that all the money in the family was spent, and her sister-in-law took out all the dowry in the bottom of the box and sold it. From now on, she will never be able to see her father again, so she can only watch her father helplessly. gone.

Danhua's mother was busy working in the mansion during the day, and when she went back at night, she often couldn't sleep well all night long, struggling until dawn under her father's painful groans.The whole person is like a candle burning at both ends, which is about to burn out and dry up.

And Dan Hua has always been thinking about his father, but he couldn't serve him in front of him, so he was already very uncomfortable; after hearing what his mother said, he was on the verge of collapse.

While talking, Xiangmei ran back with Xiuzhu out of breath, and Yun Xianiang called her aside to talk.

Yunxia stood there and said some words of comfort to Dan Hua, but she herself felt that at this moment, all these words seemed pale and powerless.

I don't know what the mother said over there, Xiangmei shook her head vigorously; but the mother's face became serious, and she continued to say a few words, Xiangmei could only nod her head.

After a while, Xiangmei turned around and ran away.The mother came back, and she stood still in front of Danhua: "Danhua, don't worry too much, I will let Xiangmei go back to the room to get 20 taels of silver for you, it is important to save your father first. In addition, I will let Qinggong go Invite Aunt Zhang to come outside the city, and you will tell your mother later that after more than an hour, let her wait at the left street corner outside the mansion, and take Aunt Zhang to see your father. Xiuzhu, hurry up and talk to Mama Yang. Say, give Dan Huaniang a day off today."

"Okay, Da Furen." As soon as Xiu Zhu's voice fell, he had already rushed out to find Mama Yang.

"It's just Dan Hua, I can't do anything about your fake." Dan Hua is under the control of Yun Hui and Niang, and Yun Xia Niang really has nothing to do.

Yunxia happily said to Danhua: "Danhua, Taoist aunt is very skilled in medicine, and she will definitely be able to cure your father." She was extremely satisfied with her mother's arrangement in her heart.

The three girls Danhua, Qingluo and Ziman were all stunned in place. They never expected that the eldest lady would help, and they were so thoughtful that the three of them thought they were dreaming.

Ziman was the first to react, she poked Danhua, pulled her to kneel on the ground together, Qingluo also knelt down.

Da Furen has a heart of a Bodhisattva!While thanking her, Dan Hua kowtowed to the lady.

Yun Xianiang reached out to stop her, pulled her up, and said softly, "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come and tell me, and I will help if I can. Your father doesn't have enough money for medical treatment, so I will pay."

Dan Hua was too excited to speak, and the tears in her eyes became more intense.

Yunxia asked Qingluo and Ziman to get up too.Those two girls kept helping Danhua and saying thank you, Mrs.
