Second Mrs. Xu came to the door, first went to the Songfeng Hall where the eldest sister-in-law Xu lived and sat for more than half an hour, chatted for a while, and then turned to the Qingfeng Pavilion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

She didn't expect that the Qin family's room and the female relatives of the third room didn't see her together, and she was a little surprised. In Songfeng Hall, she also paid close attention to it, and there was no trace of Cheng'en Hou Qin Song at all, only seeing those concubines and Tongfang surrounding the Xu family to flatter, bowing low and making small, not to mention how much to flatter, as if they were more afraid of the Xu family than before. If it was in the past, which concubine would have been favored by Qin Song, but she would not be so honest in front of the main room.

With doubts in her heart, Mrs. Xu went to the door of Qingfeng Pavilion, and when she saw Niu's, she changed her dignified demeanor in front of Xu's family, and greeted Niu's with a smile.

Niu and she have just met, and they are consciously like-minded, and it is a fresh time, and they have a good chat with her. Second Mrs. Xu also heard that Brother Zi'er was sick, and brought gifts to Niu's, but they were two small boxes of home-made hawthorn cakes, which were the most appetizing.

Second Mrs. Xu said enthusiastically: "I didn't buy it outside, I made it with my own family." A Zhuangzi I married planted a lot of hawthorn trees, and the fruits harvested every year were used to boil into juice, specializing in hawthorn cakes, which were cleaner than the outside. The recipe is also handed down from my ancestors, and it is best to eat this cake if children do not digest it when they eat, or if they have no appetite in summer. My eldest grandson, Brother Rong, has been difficult to raise since he was a child, and he is very picky about eating, so he eats this cake a lot. I don't know if your brother's food is suitable, so my sister will give it a try for the child. This thing is sweet and sour, just a snack, and it is the most appetizing. ”

Niu Shi hurriedly smiled: "It's hard for you to have such a heart." Things are small, I only think of you. He solemnly accepted the hawthorn cake, ordered Lily Baihui to put them away, and turned back to Zi Ge'er to eat. In fact, she has not given Brother Zi'er a taste of such things for a month, but the kindness of Second Mrs. Xu still touched her.

With the hawthorn cake as a base, Niu and Mrs. Xu are even closer, and they can also chat a few words of homely things when chatting. Niu has been worried about Brother Zi'er's illness these days, and Mrs. Xu told her some of her experiences in raising children. In fact, Niu also has two sons, a grandson and a granddaughter, and he has a lot of experience in raising children. However, Mrs. Xu is talking about the methods of a big family, which is not quite the same as what she knows. She felt that it made sense, and she felt that she had learned a lot.

Second Mrs. Xu saw that Niu was slowly chatting with herself, so she began to turn to the topic she wanted: "Actually, no matter how much you say, it depends on the situation. It's a hot day, not to mention children, adults feel unenergetic, and it's inevitable that they will have a poor appetite. Wait until the weather cools down, and that's fine. Hengzhi is now about to enter June, and if you stay up for another month at most, the autumn wind will rise, and the days will soon pass. ”

Niu Shi nodded when he heard this: "This is also true." Usually when we were in the northwest, we didn't feel so sad in summer, that is, the sun was more poisonous and the rain was less, where did I think the weather in the capital was so difficult?"

Second Mrs. Xu smiled: "It's not difficult. In the past, in June, there are always many people in the capital who want to hold a lotus banquet, go to one today, go to one tomorrow, and only think about what clothes to wear, what jewelry to wear, and how to talk to people at the banquet. If there are brothers and sisters in the family who have not been mentioned, you should also stop by to see if there are suitable children in other families. If not, then you only need to pay attention to what good food people have, which troupe they invited, and when they have a banquet at their home another day, they must also learn to make people laugh. In this way, a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and where is there any time to think about something that is too hot to eat?"

Niu Shi laughed when he heard this: "When we were in the northwest, where were there so many tricks? After going to the capital, we have been living our own small life behind closed doors. What kind of feast or drama has nothing to do with us. That is, our lord always has to go out once every three or five days, either to see the emperor in the palace, or to meet his old friends who have not seen him for decades. I'm at home with my grandchildren, and it's very quiet. The only banquet I've ever seen in the capital was the one that was held in this mansion during the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

Second Mrs. Xu said: "Speaking of this, it's not a coincidence. Isn't the third day of the sixth month the longevity of Cheng Enhou? In previous years, at this time, the government had already sent posts to invite people to eat and drink, but this year there has been no movement until today. I was just talking to our aunt's wife, and I accidentally mentioned that my aunt's face was not very good-looking, saying that Cheng Enhou was not very well and suffered from heat stroke. It's no wonder that the house doesn't mention the matter of setting up wine, Cheng Enhou is unwell, so it is naturally inconvenient for the guests to feast. ”

Niu raised his eyebrows, and mocked: "Heatstroke?" ”

She didn't say anything, but Second Lady Xu heard the words, and knew that there must be something in it that was not known to outsiders, so she continued: "I haven't heard of it before, it's embarrassing, I knew that Cheng Enhou was sick, and I should bring some pills to cool off when I came over this time." The old sister didn't know that the ancestral recipe of our wife's mother's family, with a taste of Qingxin pills, was eaten in the summer, and it was the most heat-clearing and relieving the heat. In previous years, Mrs. Gu always sent someone back to fetch it, but this year she didn't mention it. I only thought that no one in the house had suffered from heat stroke this year, and now I know that Cheng Enhou is sick. My aunt didn't know why she didn't tell us, and when I got home in a while, I had to send someone to deliver the medicine. By the way, how many pills does the old sister have to take in case of emergency?"

Niu smiled: "No need, we have our own." The old man has to prepare a few doses of medicine by himself every year after the summer, and the family eats it very well, so there is no need to trouble you. She paused, "As for the long room, I don't think you need to bother." If the eldest sister-in-law really needs to ask her mother's family for pills, she will naturally speak. If she doesn't say it, she definitely doesn't need it. The medicine you have sent is also wasted, and it is better to use it on those who really need it. ”

Second Mrs. Xu hurriedly leaned over: "Good sister, what is the reason for this? If it is convenient for you, just tell me? It also saves me from not knowing anything and committing a taboo." ”

Niu Shi waved his hand: "Where is there any taboo? Your aunt and wife, are you embarrassed to say! Where did Qin Song not live because of heat stroke? He has the face to do life! I'm afraid that he is willing, but the family in Changfang still doesn't dare." If he offends the emperor, where can things pass so easily? The holy decree is pressed on his head, and without waiting for the emperor to nod, who dares to let him out and cause trouble?!"

Second Lady Xu was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong......?" Did he make the emperor angry?"

Niu didn't have the slightest idea of covering up for the long house in his heart, and said to the second lady Xu without any worries: "But isn't it? The emperor made a lot of fire, and sent someone to the house to announce the holy decree, telling him to be grounded at home, to study honestly, not to see outsiders, not to go out, and to tell him to be pure and have few desires, and to be less of a demon at home!" That is, thinking that our master only returned to Beijing, if the emperor issued a clear decree and said that Qin Song's was not, he was afraid that it would cause outsiders to misunderstand that the Qin family had lost power and affected our master, so he asked someone to quietly send the will over and not publicize it to the public. But even if outsiders don't know it, the Divine Decree is still the Holy Decree. Now the eldest sister-in-law and the two nephews and nieces and daughters-in-law must act according to the order, and those concubines are not allowed to get close to Qin Song's body, and there is no wine and meat in the daily meals, and the emperor also wants him to copy books and Buddhist scriptures. He has been clean for several days, and now he is quite honest, just see when the emperor will lose his anger. At such a time, who in the family will mention the matter of making a birthday for him? Isn't that a protest?"

Second Mrs. Xu was terrified when she heard this: "This ...... What the hell is going on? Why did the good Chengenhou make the emperor unhappy......?" Is it because this third master Qin returned to Beijing, what did he say in front of the emperor?

Although Niu didn't know what Second Lady Xu was thinking, he could guess a few points. Qin Song did those things, she was angry when she said it! It's just that the people in the palace are still involved here. If you say the name of that Canaan, it seems that the emperor is also confused, and he has been deceived by a small palace person for decades. Niu thought about it, and decided to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork to omit this section.

She only said to Second Lady Xu: "It is also Qin Song's own bad self, he is too ruthless and unjust! It turned out that when my father died, my lord accompanied me to send my father's coffin back to my hometown in Tianjin. But Qin Song somehow stopped our master, and said that the queen mother had spoken, annoying that he refused to marry your aunt's wife, so he wanted to drive him out of the house!"

Second Mrs. Xu was taken aback: "What?!"

Niu said angrily: "Isn't this ridiculous? But Qin Song drove him out of the house, and he didn't allow us to go to the relatives and friends we knew. After a few days in the capital, the lord heard the news of the death of the queen's mother, and his heart was discouraged. However, Qin Song also came to the door and told our master that the last words left by the queen mother told him to leave the capital far away and not to come back in this life! Our lord thought that this brother turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, and his sister was gone, and he left such a last word, so what was the point of staying? Last year, my eldest son went to the capital and met the emperor in person, so that the emperor recognized him. Qin Song knew that this time he couldn't hide it anymore, for fear that the matter would be a gang, and he would be disciplined by the emperor, so he sent someone to the northwest to invite our family back. Only then did our lord know the truth, and he was so angry that he just thought that the two of them were brothers in the end, and he couldn't be ruthless, so he covered it up for him when he came to the emperor. But who is the emperor? No one can hide it from him, and at a glance he can see that something is wrong. He found out what happened back then, and he was so annoyed that he attacked Qin Song, and he refused to listen to our master's plea!"

Second Mrs. Xu was already stunned when she heard it.
