Chapter 118: The Reason (I)
As soon as Zheng Sui came back, he went straight to Minghua Garden.
When Zheng Sui entered the house, his cheeks were already red, large beads of sweat came out of his forehead, and his body was even more wet and sticky, but he couldn't take care of these, so he only let Cai Fu wipe the sweat beads on his forehead with a handkerchief.
There were seven or eight maidservants in the house, but it was very quiet, except for the cicadas on a few jujube trees in the garden, which was so loud and noisy that it became more and more disturbing.
Ziyan, who was guarding the edge of the bed, got up and walked out hurriedly when he saw Zheng Sui. "Why is the little lady here?"
"I'll take a look at my brother. ”
Zheng Sui's tone was very anxious, and he was about to rush in, but Ziyan stopped him, "Don't go over, little lady, Xiaolang has already rubbed the medicine, and finally fell asleep." "I'm afraid that the pain is unbearable when I wake up, but fortunately, this medicine has the effect of helping sleep, remembering that when he just rubbed the medicine, Zheng Wei gritted his teeth and his face turned blue, Ziyan couldn't help but feel sad, Zheng Wei has never been beaten since he was a child, these twenty boards were beaten down, the back buttocks were blurred with flesh and blood, and the plain white robe he was wearing was dyed red.
"You go outside and wait for me first. Zheng Sui said softly, only to see Ziyan's eyes red when he looked up, and he seemed to have cried, so he was not at ease, he wanted to go in and take a look, and he didn't let Cai Fu follow, and walked in a few steps.
There are ice cubes in the room to cool off the heat, bamboo mats are spread on the bed, there are two little maids who fan on both sides of the bed, Zheng Wei is lying on his stomach, his hair is wrapped in a towel, his body is covered with a thin quilt, revealing a pale face, his eyes are slightly closed, his brows are wrinkled, about the pain in his body, occasionally there are painful moans/moans escaping from his mouth, and his brows are frowning even tighter.
Zheng Sui glanced at it, felt uncomfortable, turned around and walked out.
As soon as he arrived outside, he asked Xiang Ziyan, "What's going on?"
The person who came to report to her only said that the fifth brother had beaten the eldest brother with a beating, and as for the rest, he didn't know.
I only heard Ziyan shake his head and said: "The maid doesn't know, the person was carried back after beating in the study in the outer courtyard, and I didn't hear any news from it, and later, the maid asked the servant Sandu who followed Xiaolang, and Sandu said that after class in the school at noon, Xiaolang asked the servant Hou Shi next to Dalang to call over, and Sandu and a few close servants didn't even get in the courtyard door of the study. ”
Zheng Sui was anxious when he heard this, "You won't beat people for no reason." ”
Ziyan only hung her head and didn't make a sound, and the maidservants in the room hung their heads together.
Cai Fu was just about to open his mouth to convince him, but he heard Zheng Sui ask, "Where is the eldest brother, where is the eldest brother now?" Aya is not at home now, and his uncle has gone to Han's house and has not returned.
"About Mo is still in Langhua Garden, Da Lang sent Xiao Lang back, and when he heard that, he went to Langhua Garden. ”
Zheng Sui looked at Ziyan, "Does Sister-in-law know about this?" Maybe you can ask Sister-in-law, and the eldest brother goes to Langhua Garden, always focusing on business.
"The eldest lady came to see Xiaolang, and after seeing Xiaolang take medicine, she went back to Langhua Garden. ”
As soon as he heard this, Zheng Sui was suspicious, his sister-in-law was also in Langhua Garden, and when she looked up, she looked at Ziyan and looked like she wanted to say something, Zheng Sui drove all the maids out, except for the rest of the picking, "Say it." ”
Ziyan hesitated for a moment, moved forward for nearly half a step, and said in a low voice: "The maid listened to Sandu, not long after Xiaolang went in, Chen Zhubo, who was beside his wife, came to visit, and then later, he heard a reprimand from the courtyard, and Da Lang hit Xiao Lang's board. ”
Zheng Sui's heart suddenly froze, the lady in the purple smoke mouth refers to the aunt Zhuge clan, and Chen Zhubo is the steward of the aunt's side, "Is there anything else?"
Ziyan's expression paused slightly, and he shook his head, "No." ”
Zheng Sui got up, and when he was about to leave, he asked again, "Is Ruan Qiniang at Siniang, or in Langhua Garden?"
"It's also strange to talk about this, Ruan Qiniang went to Siniang's garden two days ago, and now it seems that she has been living in the guest house, and she has never come out, saying that she is sick, and the lady and the eldest lady have personally gone to visit. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Sui, who didn't come, was flustered, she was too familiar with the fifth brother, and the fifth brother didn't like Ruan Qiniang, in fact, she didn't have any bad feelings towards Ruan Qiniang, but because the fifth brother didn't like it, she avoided it.
Don't be what she fears.
"Little lady, hurry back all the way, all the way back, all sweaty, go back to the garden to change clothes, and then go to the guard garden to find the eldest lady, ask what it is. ”
Zheng Sui looked up at Cai Fu and hummed lightly, although she was annoyed that the eldest brother had beaten the fifth brother, she only dared to be annoyed, as the eldest brother, he had the responsibility of teaching the elder brother, and it must not be a trivial matter to make the eldest brother so angry.
In a trance, clinker, at this moment, there was already a cold sweat on his body.
"If my brother wakes up and I haven't come yet, be sure to send someone to inform me. Zheng Sui threw down these words, and took the maidservant girl and the servant woman waiting outside back to Wangzheng Garden.
――*――*――
In Langhua Garden, Zheng Jing knelt on his knees in the main hall.
Zhuge and Li had just come back from outside, as soon as they came in, looking at Zheng Jing like this, Li couldn't help but feel distressed, when he left before, Zheng Jing had been kneeling here, and it had been more than an hour.
Zhuge sat down at the top and sighed slightly, "Ah Da, get up." ”
"Mother. Zheng Jing called and kowtowed, "It's that my son is not filial and I didn't take care of Anu." ”
"Say, don't do your business, big lady, you help Ah Da up. Zhuge looked at the Li family next to him.
Li Shi hurriedly responded and stepped forward to help Zheng Jing.
I only heard Zheng Jing stand up and ask, "Mother, how is Ruan Qiniang?" After kneeling for a long time, his legs were a little numb and swollen, so he couldn't bear to rub it, and stood slightly bent and stood.
"The doctor said that he was frightened, drank tranquilizers, and fell asleep, and you Ruan Shimu guarded it. ”
Zhuge said, paused, looked at Zheng Jing and said: "Send someone to the Three Emperors Mountain to talk to your Aye Ruan father, let them come over too, they can't get married, but the friendship between the two families for several generations has been ruined." "Anu's child is too willful, too freewheeling, Zhuge only feels a headache, if she could have guessed earlier, Anu made a fuss, how could she not be willing to promote this family business.
Ruan Qiniang is she grew up watching since she was a child, and she thinks that the girl is very good, Chen Liuruan's family, and the family is quite good, I don't want to, but Anu can't look down on it.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Wei would come up with such a bad idea to break this marriage.
caused Ruan Qiniang to go to Nanyuan in the middle of the night, which frightened Ruan Qiniang.
And there is a crazy woman living in Nanyuan, who is a concubine of her predecessors.
