After Dr. Guan left, Mrs. Qi pulled Qi Xiangsi and asked a lot of things about lingering in Qizhou, and when she heard that she was not full of food and clothing, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and distressed. ”

"yes." Old Madam Qi touched her face and comforted, "It's good to come back, the hardships you suffered before will be a great blessing in the future, let Dr. Guan prescribe a few prescriptions for you to make up for it, look at this thin one." ”

Seeing that the old lady was tired, Qi Xiangsi got up and asked An to leave, and the old lady Qi ordered Puyu to send her back to Yirongxuan, and looked at Qi Xiangsi who was pushed out and sighed.

"This child is also pitiful, he has no mother at a young age, and he can't imagine the life he has lived in those years."

Mother Lin helped Mrs. Qi into the inner room, and after leaning down, she served her a soothing tea: "There is news from the Splendid Garden, Aunt Lu hit the pillar and fainted. ”

The distress in the eyes of the reunion turned into anger, and the old lady Qi put the teacup on a few pieces: "I know that I will make waves all day long, and stir up this house into a miasma, you go and call Herui!" ”

"Yes." Mother Lin hurriedly stroked her chest and calmed her up.

Old Madam Qi squinted her eyes and leaned down, then opened her eyes again and instructed: "Also, the fifth girl, you can walk around two more times to see what is still missing." ”

"Hey, don't worry." Mother Lin motioned to the waiting maid to take care of the old lady, and she went out of the house lightly, and told the people outside to go to the Splendid Garden to invite people, and walked towards the small kitchen after thinking for a while, thinking about adding two appetizers to the old lady, so as not to let her eat because of today's bad mood

After sending Qi Xiangsi to Yirong Xuan, Puyu left, and Lilac, who was guarding outside the house, was very distressed when she saw the girl limping, and looked up at Jade: "Sister Jade, what's wrong?" ”

"Go and bring a basin of water, and I'll clean the girl's face." Jade Shi instructed her to go out to bring water, and carefully helped Qi Acacia to sit down and lie down, "Girl, you have a good rest first, and when you wake up, the slave will give you medicine." ”

Lilac quickly brought water in, Yu Shi quickly wrenched the face towel to wipe her hands on Acacia's face, took off her clothes and lay down for her, put down the tent, gently closed the door, and asked Lilac after leaving the house: "Why are you alone, Zhu Lan." ”

"Zhu Lan was called away by Sister Yunxia."

"When?"

"The girl was called when she went out to the Splendid Garden."

Jade frowned: "You go to the kitchen first and look at the girl's medicinal food." ”

After Lilac left, Jade went back to the house, and when she saw that the fallen tent was opened, she hurriedly handed Qi Xiangsi water: "Girl, you can just shout if you have something." ”

"Little things." Acacia drank half a glass of water and moistened his throat, leaning on the bed and speaking a little hesitantly, "Is it okay there in Jinxiuyuan?" ”

"Aunt Lu crashed into the pillar and fainted, and now she should have been sent back to Xiuhe Garden." Jade took the cup from her hand and put it back, "Wait for Zhu Lan to come back, the slave maid will inquire." ”

Qi Xiangsi nodded, picked up the book on the side and was about to open it, when there was a sudden sound of things breaking in the courtyard outside the house, Jade walked to the door to look, Qi Minlan, who had just come back, kicked down the flower pot placed under the steps, and the mud inside was scattered all over the ground.

Qi Minlan looked towards the wing, as if she wanted to see through the wall and see Qi Xiangsi leaning on the bed, her eyes were full of hatred.

After staring for a while, when Jade thought that the sixth girl was going to rush over, Qi Minlan kicked over the basin in front of her again, turned around and entered the house angrily, Jade looked in the direction of the main house, and the sound of falling things came from time to time

In the evening, Lilac took the medicinal food from the big kitchen, and according to the recipe written by Dr. Guan, the chicken soup was stewed in the big kitchen, and after opening the urn, Qi Xiangsi smelled the smell of ginseng, and the chicken soup with filtered oil was not so thick, and the soup base was significantly clear.

Qi Xiangsi took the spoon from the jade hand and turned it over to the bottom of the urn, which pressed half a wild ginseng, and also put atractylodes and poria cocos, a few red dates and longan to replenish qi and invigorate qi. The salty and mild chicken soup is slightly bitter, and after the slight bitterness, there is a hint of sweetness brought by the red dates and longan.

There is a familiar taste.

Qi Xiangsi drank the soup, and after a few more sips, the familiarity was diluted by the strong ginseng flavor, and when she thought about it, she felt that she was thinking too much, her grandfather and father didn't like handwritten prescriptions, and they didn't leave much, and all the Qi family's qiē were buried in the sea of fire, how could those prescriptions be passed down.

While thinking about it, Qi Xiangsi was also hungry, and soon a bowl of soup bottomed out, and the jade served her another bowl, and then the Gu family came to see her.

The maid behind Gu was still holding two boxes in her hands, and after entering the house, she handed them to the jade, and Qi Xiangsi got up: "Mother." ”

Gu Shi pulled her to sit down with concern: "Sit down, you don't have to come over to say hello for the past two days, don't go to the front yard, although it is a small injury, it is not good to leave a scar." ”

"Thank you for your concern, it's a lot better." This kind of injury is really nothing.

Rao knows that she has suffered a lot in the past few years, and Gu's heart also throbbed when she saw her kneeling, and her sisters of the same age were still coquettish in her mother's arms when she was wandering outside, but they were all girls from Qi Mansion, but they were all different from each other.

Thinking of this, Gu Shi was a little more serious: "Don't think about those things in the past, your father will seek justice for you." ”

Fair? Qi Xiangsi raised his head to look at her: "Mother, what will you do with them?" ”

Gu's eyes were cold, but his voice was very kind, he took her hand and patted it gently: "You don't have to worry about these things." ”

Of course she is not worried about the fate of these evil servants, what she cares about is the Aunt Lu who "lives with her ambition", she also sees the status of Aunt Lu in her father's heart during these days, the child has more concubines than the main mother, how to do it without any means, and now this collision, it should be over again.

How sad it is that the father doesn't even recognize his daughter. In this family, it doesn't matter if the living are so alive, and the dead don't seem to matter.

Qi Xiangsi Quan didn't know anything about Aunt Lu's collusion with evil servants, and only asked about her fainting: "Mother, can I go and see Aunt Lu?" ”

Gu Shi's eyebrows raised slightly: "Do you want to see her?" ”

Qi Xiangsi lowered her head: "Aunt and Aunt Lu were very good before her death, she probably thought that I couldn't live, and she was afraid that I would pretend to find those people." ”

There was no complaint or hatred in her low voice, Gu Shi's eyebrows were slightly raised, whether she didn't know or was really kind, but she didn't pick it up, but nodded and agreed to Qi Xiangsi: "Rest for a few days, you can go to Xiuheyuan whenever you want." ”

Maybe it was Qi Xiangsi's cautious appearance that pleased Gu's eyes, maybe it was Aunt Lu's failure today that made her feel good, Gu's tone towards her was obviously much better than before, and when she left, she also told her to rest well, this time she really left the jade here with her, and she didn't plan to let her go back to Jinxiu Garden again.

"Thank you, Mother."

Qi Xiangsi stood at the door to see Gu Shi, waited for people to go away, and when he turned his head back to the house, he saw the maid who hurriedly entered the main house, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, and the road was still long.

――――――――――――――――

After nightfall, the house spread about what happened in the Splendid Garden during the day, several servants from Huizhou were sent to the official mansion, and Aunt Lu was fined and grounded for three months, cutting the use of a year, and even the young son Brother Hui was sent to the Splendid Garden, and Aunt Lu was not allowed to raise it again.

Yi Rongxuan here, there was a lamp in the small study, Qi Xiangsi listened to what Yu Shi said, and looked up at her lightly: "What about Brother Rong?" ”

"The fifth young master just moved to the Spring Courtyard at the beginning of the year." Yushi was afraid that she would hurt her eyes after watching it for a long time, so she brought a lamp over, "The young master in the mansion lives alone at the age of seven, because Aunt Lu wants to raise the sixth young master, so she lived in the Spring Courtyard a year earlier." ”

Qi Xiangsi nodded: "Come back every day?" ”

"If you go to the academy outside Kyoto, you can't go back and forth every day, and the second young master comes back once in half a month."

Qi Xiangsi closed the book: "Mother said today that you will stay here to take care of me in the future, so should your moon silver be the same as Mingcui and them?" ”

Yu Shi was stunned, this is also what Mrs. just decided today, she didn't expect that yet: "The things in the house are all in the hands of the second lady, and she will not come back until a while." ”

The second lady Wang is in charge of the Qi Mansion, and the monthly rules of these slaves in the mansion are also set by the second lady, and if the jade monthly price rises or not, if the Gu family doesn't say anything, then it will have to wait until the second lady comes back to the account room.

"Then I can't wronged you, the missing part of the past two months will come from me." Qi Xiangsi got up, and Jade hurriedly helped her out of the study, "Girl, this matter is not in a hurry." ”

So he helped her sit down, Qi Xiangsi looked down at her helping her take off her shoes, thinking back to her dedication in the past half a month, and her voice became a little clearer: "Since you are now my maid, there is absolutely no reason to wronged you, you have been here since March 15, then start counting from March, and make up until the second aunt comes back." ”

"Thank you, girl." A flash of love flashed in Yushi's eyes, and after helping her lie down, he walked outside the house, and saw Lilac standing alone, frowning, "Where is Zhu Lan?" ”

Lilac glanced towards the gate of the courtyard and hesitated, "She said she would be back soon." ”

As soon as Lilac's words fell, Zhu Lan came back, looking like she was in a good mood, and the smile when she looked up and bumped into the jade didn't have time to restrain herself, but her movements were a lot more regular, she walked to Lilac's side and called Sister Jade, lowered her head and raised her sleeve and gently wiped the corner of her mouth.

Jade asked in a cold voice, "Where did you go to steal food so late?" ”

"Nope." Zhu Lan hurriedly denied it, "I'm just going to relieve my hands, I don't believe you asked Lilac, I just told her." ”

"What's on your mouth?" Jade pointed at the corner of her mouth, Zhu Lan hurriedly reached out to cover it, and only when she came back to her senses did she realize that Jade was fooling herself, so she put down her hand in embarrassment, and her eyes drifted towards the corridor.

Jade didn't talk nonsense with her either: "If you don't want to serve the fifth girl, I'll talk to my wife tomorrow and transfer you back to the outer courtyard." ”

"Sister Jade, it's not right for you to say that, I didn't say I didn't want to serve the fifth girl." Zhu Lan looked back at the jade, and the rest of her voice lowered, "Besides, it's not up to you whether I serve or not." ”

"You're not in the yard when you come back this afternoon, what are you going to do with Yun Xia?" Seeing that she was still unrepentant, Yushi's tone became stern, "You disappeared at night without waiting for the girl to wash up, and you didn't come back until now, and lied that you were going to relieve yourself, do you want me to ask someone to ask you before admitting it?" ”

"The girl didn't say anything, Sister Jade, why are you in a hurry." Zhu Lan looked untaught, the fifth girl has nothing to do here, isn't it good to have cloves, is it necessary to go online.

Jade was angry with her, and was about to speak, when a voice came from the door behind her: "Then what do you think I should say." ”

Zhu Lan's face changed slightly, and the fifth girl who came out at some point stood there, holding the door frame with her hand, looking at her calmly.
