Chapter 008: Digging a pit step by step
Zhuang Shuqing is fourteen years old this year, and she is already at the age of being able to make promises, and the Zhou family does not make decisions for her without authorization, so she keeps her mouth shut. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Zhuang Shuqing nodded, "Doctor, please take care of yourself." ”
Doctor Xu was about to step forward when he answered, but Zhuang Shuhan moved faster, "I'll come." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for others to react, moved sideways and stopped in front of Dr. Xu, and carefully removed the gauze on his sister's head, revealing the wound that extended into the hair at the hairline on his forehead.
Doctor Xu took a look, "Do you have a fever?" ”
"Yes, in bed for two days."
"It's not a big problem when the heat subsides, the doctor used good medicine for you before, I'm afraid it's not as good as it here."
"It's okay, as long as it's medicine, the wound will always be healed." Whether it's a physical wound or a psychological one, it's going to be fine.
Doctor Xu couldn't help but glance at this girl's house, how could such a heavy wound not hurt, but this girl didn't show a trace of pain on her face, and she couldn't bear it.
The wound was re-medicated, and a prescription was prescribed, and Zhou asked the housekeeper to follow him to get the medicine himself.
"Uncle won't bother your brothers and sisters, take a good rest, and talk about it tomorrow."
"Thank you for your trouble."
The two sisters and brothers are indeed tired, Zhuang Shuqing touched his brother's head, "There will be nothing to do tonight, go to sleep, we will cheer up from tomorrow, the straighter our waists and the more confident we are, the more they dare not belittle us." ”
"I know, sister, I don't sleep in the next room, just sleep here, I'll just lay a bunk." My sister is injured like this, how can he rest assured if he doesn't look at it.
"Men and women are seven years old, you don't want people to see jokes, good, go to sleep, it's next door, what's the matter, my sister calls you."
"But ......"
"Obedient, our affairs must have spread in the clan now, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us, the better we behave, the more they will look towards us."
Zhuang Shuhan got through at one point, and pursed his lips, "Sister must call me if she has something." ”
"I know, I'll call you."
The main hall of the dealer is not often used on weekdays, but it is brightly lit this evening.
The butler himself stood guard at the door, and the other subordinates were far away.
The atmosphere in the room was very silent.
After a while, the wrinkled old man who was sitting in the first place knocked on the table, "Are you going to do what the girl wants?" ”
"Yes, father." Zhuang Zemin's attitude was extremely respectful, "You didn't see the look of the girl at that time, obviously you came to ask me for help, but you didn't show any timidity, that appearance is not weaker than a man, but it's a pity that she is a daughter." ”
"You also said that she is a girl, and no matter how promising she is, she will marry a good husband, and you still want to rely on her husband's family to promote the dealer in the future?" The old man has been a patriarch for decades, although he has been out of charge for a few years, his majesty is still there, "It's enough for our Zhuang family to have a Zhuang Zeliang, and you want to be like that?" ”
"My son didn't dare to think like that, my son just felt that there was such a sister to teach, and Zhuang Shuhan would not be much worse in the future, not to mention that his son was also very sensible when he read Shuhan, and it could be seen that his brother and daughter-in-law had taught him very hard before."
Raising his eyes and glancing, Zhuang Zemin continued: "Such a pair of sons and daughters Zeliang does not know how to treat well, but I don't want to be so unconscientious, so that their sisters and brothers are completely cold to the Zhuang family, as Qing Yatou said, she can take her younger brother to Xishui Town under such circumstances by herself, and she may not be able to go to Kyoto, she thinks that she is the Zhuang family, and we can't ignore them knowing that their sisters and brothers are in such a situation, since we know that we can't stop it, it is good because of the banker's Baili and no harm, as for Zeliang's ......"
Zhuang Zemin sighed, "Qing girl said that she has a way to let them relax." ”
The old man raised his eyebrows, "Move it to profit?" ”
"Yes, Qing Yatou said that someone was jealous of the dowry that her mother saved for her, as long as she let go, someone would let Zeliang nod his head."
The old man looked at the other people in the room, "What do you think?" ”
The old man sitting in each position on the left frowned, "In my opinion, the old seven families should come back to learn the rules, so that there is no distinction between the two and the family, what kind of system will they become." ”
"The nature of the country is easy to change, and it is difficult to change, I don't think I need to, so as not to bring other people to ruin." Another old man obviously disagreed, "Dong himself is blind, to give up everything for such a conscienceless person, although it is stupid, but later it can't let go of the child, if they can really make a difference, we should help." ”
"Big brother, wait until Ming'er meets someone before making a decision."
After glancing at the moment, Zhuang Pingzhi nodded, got up and said: "It's not too early, go back and think about it first, and make a decision tomorrow, Zemin, treat that pair of sisters and brothers well, aside from others, those are also the children and grandchildren of my Zhuang family, and there is nothing wrong with being an elder with a little more kindness." ”
"Yes, don't worry, Dad."
From the moment he opened his eyes, he thought about it with all his might, both mentally and physically, Zhuang Shuqing slept very deeply this night, and he didn't even turn over.
On the contrary, Zhuang Shuhan was very vigilant, and he didn't sleep well, and his spirit was naturally not as good as his sister the next day.
Peeling an egg and putting it in his brother's bowl, Zhuang Shuqing said softly: "I heard my mother say that the dealer only has an outlier than Zhuang Zeliang, and everyone else can be regarded as pure temperament, you don't have to be so vigilant, take advantage of these few days to take care of it, and when the matter is over, we will leave, and it is inevitable that we will be displaced on the road, and then you can't sleep peacefully." ”
Zhuang Shuhan finished eating in silence before saying, "I just can't trust the Zhuang family." ”
"It's not that the surname Zhuang is all bad." Zhuang Shuqing explained softly, "If one surnamed Zhuang is bad, all those surnamed Zhuang are bad people?" If the one surnamed Dong is bad, all the people with the surname Dong are bad? Don't be prejudiced against anyone, whether it's good or bad must always be understood, and preconceived notions must not be the main thing. ”
After a while, Zhuang Shuhan's voice came out, "I wrote it down, sister." ”
Zhou secretly praised in his heart, and after standing outside the door for a while, he walked a few steps with aggravated footsteps, and did not enter the door directly, but spoke outside the door first, "Did you sleep well?" Are you used to eating? ”
This move made Zhuang Shuqing feel a little better in his heart, and he got up and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Lao is worried, everything is fine." ”
Zhou walked through the door and sat down on the side of the table, "Have you eaten enough?" Would you like to add more? ”
"Enough, the stomach is small, and it is uncomfortable to eat too much."
The maid took the plate and went down, Zhou turned around and took the things from the maid's hand, "It's too late to make a new one in a hurry, this is what your cousin and cousin have worn, your sister and brother are still in the filial piety period, I took the lead and picked some plain ones, and no one can pick your one. ”
Zhuang Shuqing took it generously and thanked him again, that style looked like there was neither the stinginess of a small family, nor the reserve of a young lady, but it looked very hearty.
Zhou liked it, and there was a smile in his voice, "You go back to the banker's house less, and there are not many people you know, your uncle means to wait until you are healed and then go to see your relatives, so as not to be talked about, Shuqing, do you think this is good?" ”
"Uncle Xie and Uncle Niang are considerate, we really don't want to see people like this, and there are more tongues and more right and wrong."
"It doesn't matter if the others don't see it, I'm afraid a few old people in the clan will have to see it." Zhou Shi pondered and spoke, "Last night, the master informed the elders of the clan about you, and there has to be a decision in this matter, and you can't come forward." ”
"I saved it, we should have gone to meet the elders."
Seeing that Zhuang Shuqing did not have the slightest resistance in her eyes, Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, although she is a woman, as a clan woman, she has more knowledge than other women, and knows how powerful this matter is, if it is a well-behaved and ignorant child to be recorded in her name, she is unwilling, but such a pair of sensible children, she is willing to accept and pay a care.
It's just, "Shuqing, you really ...... Got it in mind? ”
Zhuang Shuqing nodded without hesitation, "A child without mother's protection can't live in such a home, I'm fourteen this year, even if I keep filial piety, I can't keep it for a lifetime, I don't dare to imagine what kind of family they will promise me to, this is a matter of a lifetime, I can't think about it, and I don't dare to think that they will kindly choose a good family for me, and Shuhan." (http://)。 ”
Hold his brother's hand and spread it out in front of Zhou, "These hands should be used to wield a pen, not an axe to chop wood, if he is an honest child, it would be fine, be obedient, but he is not, he is smart, he has the courage to resist all injustice, now he is still young, he already has hatred in his heart, if he gets older, when he has the strength to resist, can he still be bullied?" But when the time comes, it will be revenge, and he will be in it for the rest of his life, and I can't let Shuhan be ruined in that house. ”
There were several old and new wounds on the small hands, some of which had healed, and some of which had just grown pink new flesh, Zhou couldn't help but tighten the veil, with the situation of the seventh uncle's family, how could a child be needed to do those things, it was clearly tossing him, no wonder the two of them were trying to escape.
It's hard for Shuqing to think so far.
"Shuhan, you have a good sister who has a plan for you."
Zhuang Shuhan, who was silent, nodded without hesitation, he has a good sister.
"You are all sensible children." Zhou's eyes moved away from those hands, "Your plan master told me, and I probably know what you mean, is it to break away from the seventh uncle, but also don't want to go to any room, right?" ”
"Yes, I'm not afraid to tell the truth to my aunt, I don't want another person who can hold our sister and brother hostage in the name of our parents."
"If you bite this to death, the old people in the clan will not agree, you can't let your two sisters and brothers come out alone, Shuhan is still too young after all."
This is the question Zhuang Shuqing has been thinking about since she made her decision, "I wonder if there are any people in the clan who are out of line?" ”
