Chapter 47: The Consequences
Zhuzhi stopped sobbing, pressed the corner of his eye with a handkerchief, and said sadly:
"I can only think like this, even if I get sick for this qi, what can I do? If this is said at the end of winter, I can still argue and argue, the eldest lady and the second miss, and the young master have all said so, I will say anything else, isn't it just to touch eggs and stones?! ”
Lan Zhi comforted her, slowly changed the topic, and the two talked for a long time before Lan Zhi said goodbye and went back to Chengxin Courtyard.
Li Xiaonuan was sick for almost a month, and Dr. Wen turned the prescription into a conditioning decoction and announced her recovery.
Mrs. Li pulled Li Xiaonuan to sit on the couch, hugged her pityingly, and said distressedly:
"Look at it, it's so thin that your chin is pointed, you have to be careful in the future, you can't get sick anymore, the ancestors are about to die of distress!"
"Ancestor!"
Li Xiaonuan whispered softly, leaning on Mrs. Li's arms, Mrs. Zhou looked at her with a smile and said:
"You can't be so naughty in the future, not only the ancestors are distressed, but the family is too worried."
"Xiao Nuan won't dare to do it in the future."
Li Xiaonuan replied respectfully, and Mrs. Li stroked Li Xiaonuan's back with a smile and said gently:
"You just happen, Mr. Wen said that your body is still weak, you have to recuperate for a few more days, don't go to school this morning for the time being, if you feel that your body is okay, go over to listen to the book in the morning, and come back when you are tired, you don't have to hold back the time, you have been sick for a month, Xiao'er has no companion, and the energy of studying is not as good as day by day!"
"Yes! The ancestor hurts Xiao Nuan the most! I want to go to class tomorrow! ”
Mrs. Zhou smiled and shook her head to look at Li Xiaonuan and sighed:
"It's really rare for this girl to go to school, if it's a boy, but she's a good one."
"Alas!"
Li Xiaonuan sighed heavily, shrugged his eyebrows and said:
"I endorsed Brother Gu Xiao and never won against him! I'm going to win him once! ”
Mrs. Zhou pointed at Li Xiaonuan and laughed,
"What do you compare to this boy? He will have to take the boy's test in two years, you are a girl's family, and you don't have to test those things, but just study some books, just be reasonable, in the future, you still have to use more heart on the needlework, and in a few years, go to the begging festival to get a head back, it is the right reason! ”
Li Xiaonuan pouted, Mrs. Zhou looked at Li Xiaonuan, shook her head with a smile, and Mrs. Li looked at Li Xiaonuan thoughtfully and did not speak.
Li Xiaonuan almost returned to his previous days, but he didn't have to get up early in the morning to go to school early, and came back from eating at Ruixuan Hall at noon, after Gu Xiao followed Mr. Lin to learn painting, and then went to Songfeng Courtyard, Li Xiaonuan accompanied Gu Xiao to finish reciting the book, so he used the excuse of being tired to rest, and drove him back to Wutong Courtyard to write, and in the evening, they also went to Ruixuan Hall to ask for dinner.
The days were busy and sliding fast, and soon it was in May, the weather was getting warmer day by day, the plantain in the corner of the yard was getting more and more green, and it was raining, Li Xiaonuan sat on the couch in the east wing, looking at the clean and abnormal jade-like banana leaves washed by the rain through the screen window, listening to the sound of the rain dripping on the banana leaves, but there was no such "Xiaoxiao in the morning, Xiaoxiao in the evening" mood.
There was a lot of rain in May, and it was not over yet, and at the time of Shen Zheng, Li Xiaonuan wore high-bottomed clogs, held an umbrella, and walked to Ruixuan Hall at the end of winter.
After eating, the little girl brought tea up, Mrs. Li took it and drank it slowly, Mrs. Zhou sat on the armchair in front of the couch with a happy face, Li Xiaonuan looked at Mrs. Zhou slightly strangely, it was really rare to see her have such joy.
Old Madam Li put down the cup in her hand, turned her head to look at Gu Yunshan with a smile and ordered:
"Your mother's birthday on the first day of the sixth month, although it shouldn't be too lively at this time, but you must also do it well, besides,"
Old Madam Li turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhou, who was full of joy, and laughed,
"Look, even if we don't want to be lively!"
Mrs. Zhou laughed, leaned over and said:
"Look at what my mother said, Ke'er made a special trip to congratulate her mother on her birthday!"
Li Xiaonuan's hand holding the cup froze, Gu Xiao was stunned, and hurriedly asked:
"Is Cousin Ke coming to Shangli Town to see us?"
Old Madam Li nodded with a smile and explained gently:
"The first day of June is your mother's birthday, and the ninth day of June is my birthday, and your aunt and uncle sent your cousin Ke to celebrate his birthday, and the end of this month will come, and he will live in our house for half a month before going back."
Gu Xiao smiled so much that his eyes were bent into crescent moons, Gu Yunhuan's eyes suddenly lit up, his breathing was shortness and slightly unstable, Gu Yunshan glanced at Gu Yunhuan, turned his head to look at Old Madam Li, and said with a smile:
"If it's the end of the month, it's only a few days away, so I have to let people clean up the yard quickly!"
"I'm not just going to tell you about this, talking and talking, and talking far away, you see, grandmother is also old!"
Old Madam Li said with a smile, Gu Xiao squeezed to Old Madam Li's side, shaking Old Madam Li's arm,
"The ancestors are not old, and when I am old, the ancestors are not old!"
Mrs. Zhou laughed out loud, Gu Yunshan raised her eyebrows, squinted at Gu Xiao and smiled:
"You are old, and your ancestors are not old, what is this called?"
Gu Yunhuan covered his mouth and smiled brightly, Li Xiaonuan smiled, but his heart sank a little bit.
"You're old, your ancestors aren't old, that's not your ancestor, that's an old goblin!"
Old Madam Li said with a smile, the people in the room burst into laughter, and Gu Xiao also laughed and fell into Old Madam Li's arms.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou discussed carefully for a long time, and decided to place this cousin Ke in the front yard of the Suo Luo Pavilion, which was originally a place where the ancient master meditated and cultivated, the courtyard was exquisite and elegant, the scenery was excellent, and the place was also spacious.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou carefully instructed which places to clean up and where to put them, Gu Yunshan agreed one by one, and the family withdrew more than half an hour later than usual, and each went back to rest.
Li Xiaonuan walked out of Ruixuan Hall, lowered his head, and gradually walked faster and faster, Gu Xiao was talking about his cousin Ke with flying eyebrows, seeing that Li Xiaonuan was walking fast, he hurriedly took her hand and said:
"Nuan Nuan, you slow down, it's very dark, walk slowly, be careful not to trip."
Li Xiaonuan hurriedly paused, she was a little anxious.
Gu Yunhuan twisted the handkerchief, ignored people, and went back all the way by his own care.
Gu Yunshan frowned, and while walking slowly, she looked at Gu Yunhuan's back as if she was a little distressed.
Li Xiaonuan returned to Songfeng Courtyard, bathed and washed in silence, lay on the bed, made an exception and did not read, only said that he was sleepy, and ordered the end of winter to put down the tent and curtains, and turn off the lights.
At the end of winter, he looked at Li Xiaonuan a little strangely, thought about it, and didn't ask much, just packed up the tent, went out of the house with the lamp, and sat in the warm pavilion with Chunqiao, who was on duty that night, and went to do needlework.
Li Xiaonuan was lying on the bed, her eyes wide open and looking at the top of the tent, feeling troubled.
If I had known that there was still a possibility of meeting with that arrogant son, I would have endured it that day anyway!
Alas, if she had known that there was such a trouble today, she would never have taken those snacks that day!
If she knew that she would be able to stay at the Gu family the next day, what would she do with those snacks?
If so...... What if you know that you have to fall again, and you still don't get up?!
What's the use of thinking about all these useless?! That bastard is coming here at the end of the month, and he has to live for half a month! In the middle, I want to congratulate Mrs. Zhou on her birthday, and I want to congratulate Mrs. Li on her birthday, on weekdays, listening to Gu Xiao and Gu Yunhuan, their cousins and brothers and sisters often eat and have fun together, at least to celebrate birthdays, festivals or something, Gu Yunshan and Gu Yunhuan are all in the same place with that cousin!
This time, it will definitely not be so clear and careful to distinguish between men and women inside and outside, and Mrs. Li is a wise and flexible person! Naturally, I know how to let the children get along with each other, the better the relationship, and the more beneficial it is to the Gu family!
That bastard is the prince of Runan Wangfu, one of the most noble families of this Yuan Zheng Dynasty! The Gu family naturally wants to treat the above guests as a gift!
Li Xiaonuan turned over irritably, no matter what, he couldn't let him see himself! Such a bastard thing was raised in the palm of someone's hand, where do you know what it means to be hungry and what it means to have a last resort! Where do you know how to understand the suffering of others, even if you talk to him, you can't make him realize that filling your stomach is far more important than losing face!
Gotta find a way to get out, no matter what, she can't let him see her!
