Shocked, he hurriedly got up, and found that he was already drenched in cold sweat, and when he asked, Ji Xiang said: "The second grandmother is sick, let's rest more." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The slave asked the doctor to take your pulse and prescribed medicine, and fed you once in the middle, and the fever has subsided. ”

He Jiaxian hurriedly asked, "What about the second master?" ”

Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered, and he said half-loudly: "The slave doesn't know, otherwise let Sydney ask about harmony?" ”

He Jiaxian waved his hand: "Since he didn't come, forget it." "The eyes are dazed and decadent.

Ji Xiang looked a little distressed, fed her and took medicine, looked at her for a while and began to fall asleep again, lightly tucked the quilt for her, and quietly retreated.

When I woke up again, it was already sunset, and Aunt Mei was sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling: "Awake? She whispered, "If you don't wake up, I'll be leaving." How can a dead-eyed child freeze himself alive. ”

He Jiaxian was stunned, blushed embarrassedly, and sat inside: "Aunt Lao is worried about it." ”

"It should." Aunt Mei stepped back from the left and right, and took He Jiaxian's hand affectionately: "You are a dead eye, Rui'er is also a dead eye, the two dead eyes collide together, and it is strange if something happens if something happens." ”

He Jiaxian was puzzled: "What's wrong with the second master?" ”

"What's wrong? You have been sick for the past two days, and you have not come to see you, and you have been drinking alone in the study. If I hadn't happened to ask a few more questions, I wouldn't have known about this stupid kid...... Hey, what can't be said, you're not an outsider. ”

She sighed: "Rui'er is a smart child when she is young, and when she goes to private school, she is often praised by her master. Just in time for the second master to become an official, the master moved his mind and wanted Rui'er to take this road too. How do you know that in the winter when she was ten years old, the house where Ruier lived suddenly caught fire, saying that it was accidentally made when the next person lit the charcoal basin, and a little spark burned, Ruier was first scared half to death, and then gradually recovered, and studied hard for a while, the master naturally had high hopes, but in less than a year, he was taken to the pond to catch frogs by a subordinate who was not long-sighted, and almost drowned in it, the old man was furious and reprimanded Mrs. fiercely, because it was raised by Mrs. at that time. ”

Aunt Mei was so anxious that she hurriedly took advantage of Fang Qirui's immortality, saying that she dreamed that Fang Qirui was in danger every day, and she was uneasy, and begged Master Fang to put Fang Qirui by her side to raise her.

"It's not a secret, only the master and Rui'er know about this matter." Aunt Mei squinted and smiled, as if she was talking about something else: "I am the daughter of a criminal minister, because of my grandfather's crime, the family suffered a disaster and fell into the Qinglou. Although I didn't want Ruier High School to step into officialdom, he was still young at the time and was not in a hurry, so I didn't care, and he was sharp. Who would have thought that he was too smart and hated by others, and always wanted him to suddenly suffer a catastrophe and save his life, so he went to ask the master and allowed the matter. ”

However, after more than a year, Chen found an excuse to ask Fang Qirui back. When you go back, you are also full of promises, saying that you will send someone to take care of you. Sure enough, one or twenty people surrounded Fang Qirui and served him every day. Those people are masters of eating, drinking, and having fun, and every day they take Fang Qirui either to gamble and shake the dice, or which restaurant is newly opened to have a big meal, and then it is not a cockfight, not a serious business.

Fang Qirui was entrusted by Aunt Mei, so he no longer planned to enter the imperial examination, but only focused on eating, drinking and having fun, and waited for Master Fang to split up.

"If it weren't for your pleasure, he would just be afraid that he wouldn't be able to pass the children's exam now." Aunt Mei said in a low voice: "You must know your situation better than me, who is not facing the high and stepping on the low, and you don't have a good backer, and Mrs. blindly can't look down on Rui'er, so naturally she won't treat you sincerely." I asked to marry you because of your talented girl's reputation, but if it weren't for Fei Rui'er's move, your talented girl's reputation would gradually decline, and I am afraid that it will become more and more worthless......"

There is only one advantage, so Fang Qirui broke his promise to Aunt Mei, and couldn't help but show a little edge, magnifying his advantages to save those disadvantaged places?

He Jiaxian was gloomy. He was more thoughtful than she had imagined.

"If you think about it carefully, is it true that Rui'er has passed the children's exam, and the people in the house are much kinder to you? The old man also praised you a few words behind his back, and their attitude immediately improved. Aunt Mei recalled: "What is the name of the maid who was beaten last time?" I remember that Rui'er has never been rude to women, and I have never heard him say a heavy word, and I don't know how many maids in the house want to follow him to serve, but in order to deter those who want to harm you, he did it himself, and now the girls in the house can't avoid him when they look at him......"

"I see through his heart for you, I don't know how you look at it?" Aunt Mei took out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled stupidly: "I heard that it has been more than half a year since I got married, and he still gets up early every day to put on makeup for you, but?" ”

"Those are just frequents...... I'm not uncommon to that kind of local trick. It's not just me who has made ...... person" He Jiaxian was moved by Aunt Mei's words, but he couldn't stand her jokes, and said stiffly.

"Yes, blame me for not telling you at the time. The good relationship in the legendary Qinglou, but it was also the daughter of an old man of mine at the beginning, but when I fell into the dust, she was only swaddled and sent to the workshop to grow up, and when she was able to pick up customers, she was sent out, and I also learned about it occasionally, so I told Ruier to take care of her more by virtue of her reputation of spending time and wine. The last time I had a conflict with Young Master Wen Lei, it was also because of this. Aunt Mei took He Jiaxian's hand: "Rui'er only has you in her heart, you can't see it really in it, but I can see it clearly." ”

"Haven't you ever thought that if you weren't so important to Rui'er, how could Madame be embarrassed by you again and again?" Aunt Mei said carefully: "If Rui'er doesn't care about you, you are just an insignificant little girl she married from a small family, without any scheming, and can only be at her mercy, to drag Rui'er's hind legs." ”

He Jiaxian followed Aunt Mei's words, thinking carefully about the change in Chen's attitude towards her since marrying into the Fang family, and really figured out a trace of flavor - as long as Fang Qirui treated her better, the Chen family would definitely be embarrassed by her.

Although it is not a fatal injury, it has never stopped.

She was a little ashamed.

Aunt Mei saw it and comforted: "What is the darkest thing in the world? It's not at night, it's people's hearts, you never know how the person smiling across from you is calculating you in their hearts. You don't understand because you haven't experienced it. I do. The darkness of this back house is just a small meaning, the more powerful the place, the more intrigue is powerful, not peaceful, I'm tired, I'm old, I don't want Rui'er to get involved again, and I can't prevent it endlessly...... I just want you all to be well, don't be looked at, don't be hated, wait for the master to be a hundred years later, get a little family property, and live a good life. If there is still a slight opportunity, it is also excellent to make the saint forget about the past affairs of our Mei family, no longer pursue it, and let Rui'er become an official. ”

"In this case, why don't you let the second master study to the master, we shouldn't be a big official, not to your previous high position, auntie, just a small official, so that you don't have to wait for the master to go out after a hundred years...... Isn't the second uncle's family ......," He Jiaxian wondered.

"The twists and turns in the officialdom, you don't understand it anymore, you will move your whole body with a hair, and if you enter, you will enter, if you don't look for trouble, something will look for you. Besides, Madame wouldn't be willing. She looked at He Jiaxian with a look of ignorance, and sighed, this daughter-in-law understands everything, but she is not suitable for living in the back house, and all her thoughts are written on her face, for fear that others will not understand: "The master is big, the second master is small, the family property is inherited by the master, it should be like this, the second master has his own talent, and he doesn't look up to others, isn't it very good?" ”

"Rui'er is different, uncle's illness needs precious medicinal materials to continue his life, and from time to time he has to invite a famous doctor to diagnose and treat him, and Mrs. needs silver, and she needs a lot of silver to control in her hands. Rui'er is the second, but the eldest brother is sick, and the younger brothers are not working...... Aunt Mei looked into her eyes: "Do you understand?" ”

The words have been said so clearly, it would be a fool not to understand them. He Jiaxian said softly: "So the second master only needs to hide his clumsiness, let the third master work hard, he is a descendant, and when the time comes, he will inherit the family property and divide us out...... You have to have the ability, but you don't have to show it. Madame is also looking forward to this, so she suppresses us everywhere and doesn't want us to come out? ”

"Yes. If the second master shows his intelligence, the lady must have no sense of security, and she must think of getting rid of us as soon as possible. Aunt Mei was stunned: "So over the years, I have watched her teach Yuyan badly, but I didn't dare to reach out to stop her, for fear of arousing her suspicion and jealousy, and I wanted to destroy me." As long as she really wants to make a move, it is not difficult to involve my past, and it will affect my children in vain......"

Therefore, Aunt Mei has been quiet and forbearant all these years, and has never quarreled with the Chen family.

So what's so great about her past? Even if he misunderstood, Fang Qirui didn't dare to defend himself, even if he was depressed and had nowhere to sue, he drank drunk alone?

When Aunt Mei said this, He Jiaxian naturally didn't dare to ask again, so she only nodded heavily: "I must remember it in my heart, rotten in my stomach, and never tell outsiders." ”

"You're not stupid, and I believe you." Aunt Mei smiled: "Over the years, I have just wanted to escape from the rights and wrongs of these people, live a quiet life in a separate courtyard, and have been working hard." She sighed with emotion: "In this life, there are many unavoidable and unsatisfactory wishes. It's like when I was in filth, I didn't want to come back to such a wealthy family. However, at that time, if I was not a person with some money or power, how could I be saved from the fire pit. The taste of being involuntary is not good, you are more considerate of Ruier. ”

"Yes. I'm too headstrong. He Jiaxian became more and more ashamed: her background is limited, her experience is limited, and her vision and knowledge naturally can't keep up. ”

"You kid!" Aunt Mei couldn't help but snort and laughed: "I don't need you to do anything, live your own good life, don't take care of those troublesome chores." ”

After Aunt Mei left, He Jiaxian's whole body seemed to be full of energy and spirit back into his body, full of strength, and said to Jixiang who came in: "Pass the rice, I'm hungry." ”

Ji Xiang is busy with people to prepare.

After eating and resting for a while, He Jiaxian felt more and more that he couldn't sit still in the room, and he was about to go out for a walk after putting on his clothes, and it was already dark at that time.

Ji Xiang couldn't persuade her, so he added an extra velvet cloak and helped her to the garden, but as she walked, she couldn't help but go in the direction of the study. Jixiang couldn't help but cover his mouth and smiled silently, and Sydney couldn't help but say, "The second grandmother is worried about the second master." ”

He Jiaxian was about to arrive, but he couldn't pull his face when he heard this, so he turned his foot and walked to the front yard: "Who said that, I'm going to the front to take a look." ”

Sydney stuck out her tongue, and Jixiang said to her: "The second grandmother you said is embarrassed, why don't you go and pass on your little lover, and ask him to serve his master to come and greet him, and then don't welcome the second grandmother's fast steps, but he will step over." ”

He Jiaxian was grateful for Jixiang's empathy, but he was not good at being thought by her, so he pulled his cloak: "I really want to go to the front yard to have a look, I heard that the osmanthus trees on both sides of the corridor of the flower hall are fragrant." But it didn't stop Sydney from going first.

Ji Xiang couldn't help but laugh more and more: "The osmanthus tree can't be seen at night. The footsteps followed He Jiaxian forward.

It's just that seeing that the osmanthus tree is about to arrive, but there is still no Sydney, Jixiang can't help but wonder, but he doesn't squeak, and He Jiaxian doesn't ask.

When he walked to the door of the corridor, Sydney still didn't see anyone, Jixiang helped He Jiaxian, and asked in a low voice: "Second grandma is tired, why don't you go to the corridor and sit down and rest?" ”

The winding cloister in the front yard is about 20 meters long and is located behind the flower hall. One end of the cloister is connected to the side door of the flower hall, which is flush with the back door of the flower hall, and the other end is connected to the wing room on the left side of the front yard, which is mainly the guest residence. Behind the cloister is a barren meadow next to the courtyard wall, with a long board for resting on the side.

He Jiaxian was also a little tired from walking, so he walked straight up and sat on the longboard leaning on the column, the osmanthus flowers in his nose were fragrant when the wind passed, so he couldn't help but close his eyes and sniff gently.

Seeing this, Ji Xiang didn't dare to speak anymore, stood on the edge of the pillar, and quietly smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

There was silence for a moment.

But it was only quiet for a moment, and then I heard the sound of Suo Suo in the grass in the distance, which was very clear in this silent night.

Both He Jiaxian and Jixiang were taken aback. Usually everyone only passes through the corridor, and both sides are planted with osmanthus trees, and few people go after the osmanthus tree, and I don't know who is still here so late. The few sparse lamps hanging on the top of the cloister are dim and dim, and it is not real to see.

Just as he was about to ask, he heard a male voice say, "What are you panicking about?" Things haven't been done yet, how could you lie to you? You go and coax your aunt to get me the real account book of the Drunken Immortal Residence...... Then it all fell into place. "It's a terrible sound.
