第七章岁暮天寒（七）

不过，他没有继续吃，而是将剩下的冰糖连带纸包递给柳芽道：“赶紧吃了，莫叫王妈妈看见。”
柳芽虽不解其意，可依旧老实地将剩下的几块冰糖嚼咽，纸包揉成一团，塞进荷包里。
等到王妈妈回来，依旧同前两日似的，将食盒直接提到外间，唤了柳芽出去吃饭。
即便屋子里阴冷阴冷，可依旧难挡饭菜香气的挥散。奴婢下人还能一日三餐，沈瑞这个病患小主人因在“败火”，只能“过午不食”，早午两顿粥。
沈瑞无需去外间看饭桌，从香味中就能闻到有鸡有肉。沈家即便是富户，可也不至于下人每顿都大鱼大肉。不过是“项庄舞剑志在沛公”，表面是给王妈妈吃的，实际上是给他这个小主人闻味道。
对于饥肠辘辘的沈瑞来说，这就像是一场酷刑。不管是谁安排的如此，都是抓住一个孩子的七寸。别说真的九岁孩童，就是沈瑞这个伪儿童，饥肠辘辘之下，都口水嗒嗒的，忍不住想要出去抢吃的。
沈瑞躺在床上，拉起被子，将脑袋遮住，捏住自己鼻子，咬牙切齿很是热情地在心里问候了沈家列祖列宗。可脑子里都是各种菜肴，口水一阵一阵的，肚子里闹腾的越发欢实。
烤鸭、烧鸡、红烧鱼，红烧排骨，羊肉汤……各种美食画面一下子涌进脑子里，沈瑞憋的眼睛都红了。
煎熬之下，时间变得粘稠起来。
等听到王妈妈出去的声音，沈瑞才撩开被子，额上出了半头细汗
柳芽走进来，神色惊疑不定。
沈瑞见状，心下一沉，道：“怎么？可是下晌行动有什么不对？”
因怕隔墙有耳，原还想等到晚上再问柳芽下午行事，眼下却是有些等不及。柳芽摇头，推开窗看看，确认四下无人，方走到床边，打开荷包，里面躺着两枚米糕。
沈瑞咽了口吐沫道：“不是说不用给我留？你快吃了。”
柳芽小声道：“是妈妈予的，说怕小婢晚上饿，让小婢饿了吃，可飧食时妈妈说没胃口，只动了两筷子，将剩下的大半碗饭给了小婢，小婢吃了两人份的饭菜撑得不行，哪里还会饿哩？”
沈瑞闻言，不由怔住。
柳芽小声道：“许是王妈妈留给二哥，只是不敢说，借了小婢手给？”
沈瑞轻叹道：“王妈妈是好人。”
看来老安人的眼光真的不好，选了这一老一幼出来，看起来一个木讷，一个笨拙，可都是本性良善之人。要不然真要安排两个恶仆坐镇，自己想要绝处逢生也非易事。
柳芽还罢，年纪尚幼，不知这差事凶险。王妈妈是经年老人，又见惯沉浮的，当猜出老安人选她与柳芽“侍候”沈瑞的用意。这一老一少，都是孤零零的，在沈家并无其他干系之人。不管是让这两人“背黑锅”，还是有其他处置，都极为便宜。
自然，王妈妈肯多言提点沈瑞，肯留吃食给他，变相地“背叛”张老安人的安排，也不单单只因良善二字。只是这其中利害干系，就没有必要对柳芽说了。明悟到这点，沈瑞的心里越发沉甸甸的。从一老一少“服侍”他开始，三人的命运就休戚相关，或许是他想多了，虚惊一场，或许真的生死相连。
等到掌灯入更，王妈妈又来放下幔帐，嘱咐柳芽一回方回了厢房。
沈瑞将柳芽叫进帐子，两人才头碰头地小声说起下午之事。
“下午老安人院子里来了六家娘子，跟来的养娘、婢子二十来人，去厕房的有七人，三个养娘，四个婢子。多是老安人院子里的姐姐带着，可到底是进茅厕，不好陪着进去，都在廊下遥等着。小婢按照二哥交代的，养娘就等她进了厕房，在外头喊一句。婢女姐姐就当认错人，趁着对方没进去说。”说到这里，柳芽不解道：“为甚要挨个说，要是碰上一家两个入厕的，说起此事，岂不是就揭破？”
沈瑞道：“要是只对一两人做戏，万一碰上老实不生事的，将此事当成阴私埋在心里，岂不冤枉。正是要揭破才好，越是蹊跷越是引人关注。”
主仆两人也算是“共患难”，柳芽的胆子也比昨晚略大几分，忍不住问道：“二哥就不怕有同老安人交情好的娘子，将这话转告老安人？”
沈瑞道：“越是与老安人有交情的，越容易多想。若是晓得老安人能狠心对嫡孙下手，谁还敢无忌惮地与她交好？如此阴私之事，背后讲讲还罢，终是不能拿到台面上说。”
柳芽似懂非懂，可心里到底踏实几分，却是困的狠了，说着说着眼睛已经睁不开。沈瑞想起一事，道：“那个兰草是不是欺负过你？”
因老安人上了年岁忌讳，老安人院子里当差的养娘下人，只戴了三日热孝就换成了素服。沈瑞让柳芽选个婢子的名字来说，柳芽选了兰草。
事情若是泄露，柳芽掩面还能遮掩一二，那个兰草怕是难逃责罚。
柳芽耷拉下脑袋，小声道：“小婢在那边当差时，她老使小婢干她的活，还抢婢子饭食，常用簪子戳小婢哩。”
沈瑞“哈哈”一笑，主仆两人各自安置。
不一时，柳芽沉沉睡去。沈瑞为了应对明日，便只有强忍着，睁着眼生熬。
