The clouds gathered more and more, and the previously clear sky was soon overcast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

It looks like it's going to rain.

Xiao Ziyu was lying on the soft couch, with a little confusion in his eyes, watching the wind blow the carved window lattice.

The conversation of the little maid under the corridor was also listened to by her word for word.

"You just said that Mo Yan's leg is better?"

"It's not, I didn't expect it to be really good, obviously I was beaten like that by the king's steward, but ...... That's it!"

"I thought Miss Seven was joking, she just did those things at will in order to give the king steward. ā€œ

"Joke? Isn't it because the boss dares to beat the ink inkstone like that, isn't it because the dog beats depends on the owner's face? Don't you know, the ink inkstone is a mastiff specially brought back from North Vietnam by the fourth master, and it was given to the fourth wife! This time, ......

Before the little maid could speak, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and soon the old man's harsh voice came, "What are you still standing outside, Miss Seven?"

"Back to Mother Liu, Miss Seven is still asleep!"

Xiao Ziyu's blank eyes rolled, and he closed his eyes tiredly.

Summer showers always come suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, the rain falls down, and the courtyard seems to be open up with an endless curtain of water.

The sound of the rain drowned out all the noise, and the five senses gradually became dull.

The next moment-

The door was pushed open from the outside, and the summer breeze with rain blew in from outside, and the inner room was suddenly stained with some moisture.

Mother Liu's voice came in again, "Miss Seven?"

Seeing that the person sleeping on the soft couch did not answer, she stepped forward and raised her voice again, "Miss Seven, wake up!"

Xiao Ziyu slowly opened his eyes, his expression was still confused, "Is it Mother Liu?"

"It's an old slave!" Mother Liu squeezed out a smile, put the medicine bowl in her hand on the small pestle, and said, "Miss, it's time for you to use medicine, if it is too late, it will lose its effect!"

After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to help Xiao Ziyu up, and her flattering expression was a little anxious.

Xiao Ziyu lowered his eyes, "No need!"

Mother Liu was stunned when she heard this, and only squeezed out a smile after half a sound, "Miss, you are laughing again, how can you not take medicine when you are sick." ā€

"Bitter!" Xiao Ziyu replied stubbornly with a frown.

Mother Liu only noticed Xiao Ziyu's strange appearance at this time, and couldn't help but look at the girl in front of her.

Xiao Ziyu leaned on the big pillow embroidered with peonies, his face was full of sickness and weakness, and his petite lips were not half bloody. The clear eyes of the past were quiet at this time, as if they had lost their souls.

Since Xiao Ziyu fell into the water at the lantern party in the capital, his complexion has been bad. Now after arriving in Gusu, I always have nightmares at night, and my condition has not improved in the slightest.

The doctors changed wave after wave, but they all said that Xiao Ziyu's condition was fine, and he just had a good rest.

There was no major problem, but I didn't see any improvement in my condition.

So over time, everyone seemed to understand that this was nothing more than a heart disease.

Mother Liu sighed, and her words were a little urgent, "The old slave asked someone to bring some candied fruit?"

When Xiao Ziyu heard this, he just shook his head, as if he couldn't even squeeze out the strength to speak.

The room quickly returned to quiet, and after a long time, Mother Liu saw that Xiao Ziyu no longer spoke, so she said hesitantly, "Miss, the old lady heard that you have been sick since you fell into the water, and she is so worried that she can't swallow it......"

Xiao Ziyu slowly turned his head to look at her, but did not speak.

Mother Liu's face was a little embarrassed at this time, and she hurriedly explained, "It's Old Lady Gu, Miss, your grandmother, she asked the second lady to come from the capital to see you!"

After Mother Liu finished speaking, she was afraid that Xiao Ziyu would be angry, so she hurriedly added, "Miss, don't be angry, the old lady is also worried about your body!"

Xiao Ziyu lowered his eyes when he heard this, his eyes without temperature flashed slightly, and he muttered, "Really?"

Mother Liu didn't notice Xiao Ziyu's abnormality, just nodded and replied, "Yes, yes!"

"Auntie is here!" Xiao Ziyu whispered, "Then let's meet!"

Mother Liu was a little surprised in her heart, and couldn't help muttering to herself, Xiao Ziyu looked a little different after falling into the water this time. The arrogant and domineering appearance of the past is no longer half a point, and even the nine-section whip that never leaves his hand is thrown far away. It's just a child who has just turned ten, but the breath emanating from her body makes her unable to figure it out, and she always feels panicked.

The Xiao family is not a famous family, to be precise, it was only in the generation of Xiao Ziyu's grandfather Xiao Dong that he barely improved. In that year, after Mrs. Xiao was promoted, she was appointed as the Qing Officials Department of the Sixth Rank Household Department, and in her later years, she was transferred back to the capital and promoted to a member of the Fifth Household Department. It's a pity that as soon as Old Lady Xiao died, the Xiao family gradually began to decline again, and there were slowly signs of business. If it weren't for Xiao Ziyu's father, Xiao Siye, who was now a sixth-rank Zhaoxin captain with a loose rank, I am afraid that the Xiao family would have completely withdrawn from everyone's sight from officialdom.

Although the Xiao family is not a big family, Xiao Ziyu's mother married into the Xiao family, and in the eyes of everyone, she has indeed climbed to a high branch.

The Gu family has practiced medicine in the county town for generations, and their medical skills are exquisite, and their ancestors have also produced imperial doctors. It's just that the descendants are incompetent, and over the past few generations have been reduced to making a living by picking herbs. Back then, if it weren't for the North Vietnamese suddenly sending troops to attack Dachu, Xiao Ziyu's mother Gu would not have saved the fourth master of the Xiao family, who was seriously injured and separated from the army, on the way to escape.

At that time, although the Xiao family was grateful to the Gu family, they never thought that one day the Gu family would enter the door of the Xiao family.

So when Xiao Siye personally brought the Gu family back to the capital, the Xiao family went from the initial shock to the final strong opposition, and tried all kinds of methods to prevent Xiao Siye from marrying the Gu family.

Because of this incident, Mrs. Xiao always had some prejudices against the Gu family, and it was not until later that Mrs. Xiao knew that the Gu family would subsidize her own case money to the Gu family, and she was even more disgusted with the Gu family.

The Gu family was in a difficult situation in the Xiao family, and Xiao Siye led the troops outside all the year round, so he naturally didn't know the details of his wife's situation at home. The Gu family is docile, and has been tolerant of Mrs. Xiao's embarrassment and the frequent provocations of the Xiao family's big house, and occasionally takes Xiao Ziyu to the third room of the Xiao family in Gusu to live here for a few days on the grounds that Gusu is close to the county seat.

It's just that this time, Gu's trip to leave the capital was very hurried, and even Xiao Ziyu's illness did not stop her footsteps. After arriving in Gusu, the Gu family quickly lived in Hanshan Temple, claiming to pray for his daughter and needing to fast and clean his mouth, which was quite strange.

Now it seems that all the abnormalities of the Gu family may be because of the Gu family's repeated greedy demands.

If you keep choosing to be patient, you will be regarded as weak and incompetent.

Mother Liu showed a satisfied look on her face, but she was in a hurry to help Xiao Ziyu off the soft couch in her hand, and she hurriedly brought down the small pestle behind her, making a dull sound.
