第193章 照顾

昨日派去田庄传信的人回来后很久，都一直没有见到忍冬爹上门。
到了第二天的下午，也还是一点消息都没有。这样看来，恐怕忍冬爹是真的出事儿了。
Jing Mo is worried about both her father-in-law, who is away, and her daughter, who is ill. She has specifically asked Madam Bai not to tell her daughter, and has arranged for a carriage through Yun Dang's wife, Dao Gui, to go and find Ye Xuanzhu.
“我觉得，你还是不要去的好。”
玉簪专门处理田庄的这些事情，知道的内幕比别人要多。这会儿见京墨想去乡下，劝她还是想清楚的好。
“Even if Ye Xuanzhu was hidden well by Father Rendong at that time, now that even Father Rendong is being detained there, where can they be safe?”
Seeing that Jingmo still seemed unwilling, as if unwilling to give up her own ideas, Yuzan continued to persuade her.
“更何况他们人那么多，就算想离开，也不是个轻松的事情。恐怕现在，也已经被涂壮完全扣留了吧。”
“我只是想着，如果能见到叶宣竹一行人里的任意一个人就行。我们已经很久没去过田庄了，也不知道那个涂壮已经把里头改成什么样子了。”
Bamboo hairpin sighed, although in her heart she agreed with Jing Mo's idea, but for her safety, she still continued to persuade her.
\"But the most important thing now is to ensure your safety. If they discover that you are alone outside, they will do everything they can to capture you. Your priority is much higher than that of Bamboo father.\"
"That being said, if I secretly sneak out, they probably won't know, right?"
Quietly retorted Jingmo, she still didn't want to give up. If she could go out, even if it was just to personally confirm that Ye Xuanzhu and his group were firmly under Tu Zhuang's control, that would be enough.
"Anyway, I advise you not to go out casually. If you want to go out, you should go to Bai Shi in front and let him find someone to go out with you."
见实在是劝不住京墨，玉簪退而求其次。
“放心，我不会完全不顾自己安危的。”
见玉簪答应了，京墨也露出了笑脸。这边的事情解决了，还有其他的事情要去做。
她还记得宝叔正一个人孤零零的躺在江南岸的地底下，身边连个照顾的人都没有。
与其去找别人，倒不如去找因为没了帮手，这两天正准备歇业的林大娘。
Say you're going, then go.
Jingmo called upon Bai Shi to divide their manpower into two and accompany her. Bai Shi searched for a suitable candidate but couldn't find one, so he decided to personally join the mission and invited the white-faced scholar that Jingmo had met before to go with them. Together, they headed out the door.
"I just finished lunch and didn't even have a chance to rest properly, and you're already thinking about going out. Didn't we already go see that old lady yesterday? Why do we have to go again today?"
那个白面书生坐上了马车，就闭目养神起来。倒是白世，还有闲工夫跟京墨闲聊上几句。
“我有些事情想拜托林大娘帮我，还不知道她能不能愿意呢。”
"Help you?"
The carriage swayed forward, and Bai Shi thought for a moment, his face looking a bit strange.
"If I remember correctly, isn't your Lin Dama, also seems to have injured her leg?"
"What?"
Bai Shi doesn't mention this matter, and Jing Mo indeed forgets about it completely. But when he mentions it, Jing Mo remembers it.
At the beginning, Madam Lin came out of the alleyway supported by Ru Yi. Thinking about it this way, Madam Lin's legs are injured, and she is not convenient herself, so she is probably unable to take care of Master Bao.
Jingmo couldn't help but feel a little headache.
"This is a bit troublesome. I was planning to spend money to hire Lin Dama to help take care of Uncle Bao, but now she's not available herself, so I'm afraid she won't have the time."
“不能再找个别人吗?”
“……算了，我再想想吧。”
春娘可是说过，要自己找一个嘴巴严实一点的人。可这样突然，她又能从哪里找人呢?
“那你现在还要去找你那个什么林大娘吗?”
白世问道。马车已经行驶了不远的距离，离着林大娘日常起居打理的巷子也不远了。
现在掉头离开，当然也不是不行。只不过林大娘也伤了腿，既然已经到了路口了，干脆就进去看看。
"Go ahead."
京墨探出头去，嘱咐着外头的马车夫。
“到巷子口停一下，我买一点儿东西，提着进去找人就行。你们在门口等等我，我很快就回来。”
最后一句话是转头对着白世说的。
Seeing Jing Mo wanting to take action by himself, he still felt a little uneasy. He shook his head subtly towards Jing Mo, wanting to say something.
"Don't worry, I won't go in either. I'll just say a few words at the door. As long as you lift the curtain, you'll be able to see me."
In this way, it can ensure the safety of Jingmo, and at the same time, it will not disturb Mrs. Lin because there are too many people now.
This method is quite comprehensive, Bai Shi thought for a moment, and nodded.
两人交谈完，马车夫正好停下马车。
到地点了。
京墨摸了摸怀里的银子，虽然不多，但买点儿东西提着去见人，倒也是绰绰有余。
After getting off the carriage, I casually bought some body-strengthening things, and Jing Mo carried a few packages into the alley.
Originally, she didn't know where Mrs. Lin lived, but later she asked Ruyi in advance and found out the specific location. It turned out that Mrs. Lin lived not far from the stall, and even closer to the outer street than the stall.
But she thought that there were too many people coming and going outside, and the environment was far from clean compared to the alley. She also couldn't find a way to secure a stall on the main street, so she simply opened a stall in the alley.
Knocking on the door of Mrs. Lin's residence, unexpectedly, the one who opened the door was not Mrs. Lin, nor anyone else, but Ruyi.
"Ruyi, why are you here?"
Perhaps not expecting Jingmo to come, Ruyi was also surprised. She originally wanted to make some room and let Jingmo come in. But Jingmo remembered the agreement with Baishi, shook his head, and gestured to speak at the door for a while and then leave.
Handing the items she was carrying to Ruyi, Jing Mo waited until the other person had settled her belongings, then casually chatted with Ruyi.
\"I thought about Madam Lin, whose legs are injured and inconvenienced daily, so I specially came to take care of her. Although it looked serious yesterday, it has improved a lot today, and she can walk normally most of the time. In the evening, I will take Madam Lin to see the doctor again. If the doctor says there is no problem, I won't have to come specially anymore.\"
“That's good news, but why haven't I seen Mrs. Lin?”
Jingmo looked around and didn't see Mrs. Lin's figure, but he did see the small package often used by Ruyi. He said he didn't come here on purpose, but it looked like she was going to take over for Baoshu and work here as a laborer.
如意随口解释道:“大娘刚刚吃过药，睡下了。对了，你怎么来了?”
“我忘了大娘腿上有伤了，本来想问他愿不愿意接受我的聘请，去照顾宝叔的。不过既然大娘身上的伤还没完全好起来，那就算了吧，我再去找找有没有合适的人选。”
收拾东西的动作一顿，如意有些僵硬的转过身来。
“你找到他了?”
京墨点点头，突然想起来自己还没有将这件事情告诉如意和林大娘，就删删减减，将事情的大概经过告诉了她们。
"So, he's now on the south bank of the river, and his injuries are too severe to move?"
"That's about the gist of it. I wanted to bring Uncle Bao out, but looking at his injuries, it's better to leave him there."
如意摇了摇头，不认为京墨说的对。
“你说那里环境很差，没有人照顾，甚至连个床铺都没有。把赵大哥留在那里，反而对他不好。”
京墨叹了口气，也不怪如意这么想。
“对呀，所以我想着，最起码给他找个人在身边照顾着。只是这人选实在是难以确定下来，看样子，也只能指望着那里的人能看在老板娘的面子上，对宝叔多照顾些。”
“……大概都是什么时间要去帮忙?”
“应该是需要整日留在那里，恐怕得找个空闲时间多的人。”
刚说完这句话，京墨才反应过来刚才如意问那句话的意思，有些惊讶的看向她。
\"I will go and ask Madam for leave soon; his life is also a life. We can't really let him die there, can we?\"
Ruyi didn't even look up, her voice sounded stuffy as she explained. Although her words were harsh, they also showed her attitude, and even Jing Mo couldn't help but feel surprised.\n\nPlease note that the context for this translation is not clear, as the content seems to be extracted from a narrative with specific characters and a plot.

“姐姐愿意去照顾他?”
“就是去看看他的情况，一直没消息，反而不叫人挂念着。知道了他半死不活的，倒是叫人念叨。”
And so, the caregiver chosen for Uncle Bao ended up being Ruyi.
If Uncle Bao was in excellent health, he would probably be very happy. However, he is currently in a serious condition, and whether he can recover is still a question.
After settling things here, Jingmo still wanted to go to the vicinity of the manor again to see if he could encounter Ye Xuanzhu and his group.
