Chapter 056: Fairness
Aunt Cui hurriedly stepped forward and put a soft pillow behind him, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, the concubine doesn't have a heart for you, who else can she have a heart for." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qi Yuanzhang smiled silently, and only looked at her fixedly.
Aunt Cui told him to look a little uncomfortable, and his heart was very empty, and he finally couldn't help but open his eyes.
Qi Yuanzhang said lazily: "Tell me, why did you come here." ”
He is so straight to the point, but Aunt Cui doesn't know what to do. She stood beside the couch a little helplessly, and said half-loudly: "It's the matter of the four girls." ”
Qi Yuanzhang raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong with Sister Mo?" After asking, he changed his words, stretched out his finger and pointed to the food box on the side, "Since you brought it, why don't you put it out to eat with me?"
Aunt Cui was stunned, and hurriedly turned her head to the side to open the food box, took out a few dishes in it and placed them one by one, and handed the dishes and chopsticks to him.
Qi Yuanzhang held up his chopsticks, took two parsleys, frowned and said, "It's tasteless, if there is wine, it's fine." ”
But he is wounded, how can he get drunk.
Even if Aunt Cui wanted to do what he wanted, she didn't dare to do it herself.
She stayed by the side, watched him eat the food without a bite, and said softly: "Uncle, the fourth girl asked the old lady to escort her to the ancestral hall and kneel." ”
Qi Yuanzhang was slightly surprised when he heard this, looked at her sideways, frowned and asked, "Hasn't my mother always liked that girl?"
Aunt Cui sneered twice, lowered her eyebrows and said: "The concubine doesn't dare to say that the old lady did something wrong, but this time the facts are not the fault of the four girls, the old lady only punished the four girls, but did not punish the five girls, it always seems to be biased in favor of the five girls." ”
Qi Yuanzhang put down his chopsticks: "The two girls are in trouble?"
Aunt Cui sighed and nodded: "Today is the flower viewing banquet of the Yongding Marquis Mansion." The fourth girl and the fifth girl went out together, but the fifth girl shouted to put the paper kite, and disappeared after a while. The four girls couldn't find it, so they were confused, and hurriedly ran back to tell the old lady what had happened. ”
"Mother is angry?" Qi Yuanzhang asked with no big expression on his face.
Aunt Cui couldn't see the joy and anger on his face, and she didn't have much confidence in her heart: "The old lady blames the fourth girl, thinking that the fourth girl didn't stay in the Yongding Marquis Mansion because she deliberately left the fifth girl alone." ”
Qi Yuanzhang was silent, and grabbed the chopsticks on the side again.
Aunt Cui hurriedly added: "What kind of character the fourth girl is, you know, where will she make ......"
"Mother is not a person who gets angry. Qi Yuanzhang glanced at her and interrupted her.
Aunt Cui said with a smile: "Yes, what you said is that the old lady will not be angry for no reason, this matter is indeed the fault of the fourth girl." However, although there is something wrong with the four girls, it is not intentional. She is a small child, and when something happens suddenly, she naturally wants to panic. ”
Qi Yuanzhang looked slow and orderly, he didn't eat slowly, and in a blink of an eye, half of the dishes on the plate were missing.
He lowered his head and asked, "Do you want me to exempt Sister Mo'er from kneeling?"
Aunt Cui said: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine is just worried that the four girls can't help but kneel like this." ”
When Qi Yuanzhang heard this, he suddenly laughed.
He was thirty-six or seventeen years old, not very young, but he was still a handsome man. In the dim light, he just smiled so casually, which made Aunt Cui's heart beat wildly and her face warmed.
But the words in his mouth made Aunt Cui cold for a moment.
He looked at her, still smiling, and said: "There is no reason that Xiao Wu can be punished if he makes a mistake, and he can't be punished if a fourth girl makes a mistake." I'm afraid you don't know the truth of this time. Mother let the four girls kneel, naturally there is a reason for her. ”
Aunt Cui didn't give up, and wanted to say more, but asked Qi Yuanzhang to cut off the conversation.
Qi Yuanzhang pushed the dish to the side, lay back, picked up the book on the side, flipped through it again, and threw out a sentence: "Mother's rewards and punishments are clear, and they are very fair." The little five can be punished, and the four girls can naturally be punished. If you don't say that your mother is partial to Xiao Wu, then let your mother also use family law against the four girls. In this way, it is all family law, so it is not biased, right?"
When Aunt Cui heard this, her breath tightened, and she didn't dare to say a word about "favoritism".
Qi Yuanzhang waved his hand to let her go.
She had no choice but to go.
After packing up her things, she picked up the food box and left.
Qi Yuanzhang in the study was still lying there, almost the same as what she saw when she entered.
The moment Aunt Cui walked out of the door, she couldn't help but think hatefully, Qi Yuanzhang was really a heartless person.
His daughter, he didn't know how distressed.
After listening to her words, he still had the heart to eat food, and he still wanted to eat and drink?
Aunt Cui held her breath in her heart, very uncomfortable.
But fortunately, Qi Mo was only punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and did not use family law. Stay up for a few more hours, and when it is dawn, she will be able to come out.
Aunt Cui stood in the evening breeze and breathed a sigh of relief.
The night was already thick.
Jing Ningbo's mansion also quieted down.
Everyone went back to their rooms, and the washing, the resting, and the rest gradually fell silent.
And in Jixiang Garden, it is even more silent.
After Mama Shen left, Taiwei didn't leave any of them and sent them all away. She was used to living alone, and she didn't feel any inconvenience when there was no one around to serve her. She made herself a cup of tea and ate it, took off her shoes and went to bed, lay down and closed her eyes, smooth and comfortable.
On this day, she was physically and mentally exhausted.
She was thinly dressed and curled up under the covers, her right hand clenched tightly into a fist.
Spread out, there was an inconspicuous copper coin inside.
It couldn't be more common, but it couldn't be simpler.
How can such copper coins be used for divination?
She doesn't know and doesn't understand, but she just learned from Xue Huaijian's appearance, accumulated over time, and developed a habit that she couldn't live without.
This habit is his.
When she saw it for the first time, she was still surprised, a copper coin can also divinate a hexagram? Xue Huaijian heard it at the time, smiled and kissed her, but he confessed and bluntly said that he couldn't.
But he always carries a copper coin with him, throws a handful when he encounters a fork in the road, and throws a handful when he doesn't know what to eat for dinner.
In Taiwei's view, this kind of practice is simply casual and undisciplined.
However, he never tired of it, and she saw a lot of it, and even learned to be like him.
It is really red close to Zhu, and black near ink.
......
Taiwei lay under the quilt, spread out her palms, and clenched them tightly.
Probably exhausted, she soon fell into a deep sleep.
That night, however, she had a nightmare worse than her usual nightmares......
She dreamed of herself.
I dreamed of Xue Huaijian.
I dreamed of the past that I don't know if it was the past or the future.
The spring breeze falls into a dream, and the sweat wets the back.
She thought to herself, blaming it all on that damn kiss during the day.
