Xiao Liu still looked at her with a smile: "It's all a small injury, I've already asked the dumb man to say hello, and I'll go to work in two days." ”

Qi Xiangsi looked at him with a calm expression.

Half-loud, Xiao Liu couldn't hold it anymore, looked at her stupidly, and his eyes flashed: "You're not in the Tai Hospital, how can you have time to come here." ”

"Say it." Qi Xiangsi looked up at the fat man who was dodging to the side, "What is the reason for the fight?" ”

The fat man was stared at by Qi Xiangsi uncomfortable, and turned around in annoyance and slammed the door frame: "Big brother, if you don't say what I said, isn't it just that, I beat it." ”

Without waiting for the fat man to speak, Xiao Liu slapped the table with a "snap", as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, I said." ”

Qi Xiangsi looked at him, Xiao Liu raised his hand and rubbed his face, his expression showed a touch of ruffianism, and he was very unhappy: "I had a fight with those people outside." ”

"Who?"

"I've been here for almost two years, Kyoto is too domineering, I think those people here have long been unhappy, more ruthless than a few in Yongzhou, I saw that those children were about to starve to death, so I helped them, this is good, come to the door, this is a fight."

The more Xiao Liu spoke, the more angry he became, and he glanced at the fat man: "I was born with this life, and I can't see those things when I take off this clothes." ”

There are also rules for being a beggar, how much truth is common in this world, the big one is popular, the beggar is also ganging up, the strong and bullying the weak abound, Qi Xiangsi has met two times in three days in those years.

The street market under the Zhenshui Temple here in Kyoto City is mixed, and there are all kinds of people, and the beggar here is in the words of Xiaoliu, that is, he is overbearing, and he doesn't let people have a way to live, so he saw that the road was uneven and pulled out his sword to help, so he fought with those people.

The fat man was skimmed by his glance, turned around and went out of the house to find the mute, Qi Xiangsi in the room looked at him for a long time, Xiaoliu was still very angry, but halfway through the anger, seeing Qi Xiangxi's reaction was faint, he had no bottom in his heart, and his face sneered: "Don't worry, they can't find me trouble." ”

"When I was in Yongzhou, I never intervened when I saw others being beaten by old scars in the alley." Qi Xiangsi took a sip of the medicinal oil that had just been stained on his hand, "What, now you are a hero?" ”

"Those are two different things." Xiao Liu snorted, "Old Scar, they still have some way to survive if they beat people again, this gang has killed people, heh, who cares how he died, the yamen brought people to collect the corpses in the morning, and they all threw them into the mass grave." ”

"Besides, I have work to do now, help them find out what's wrong, and I'm still settling accounts with them." Xiaoliu has a deep understanding of these things, and it is precisely because of this experience that he is even more angry.

Qi Xiangsi smiled: "Won the war?" ”

"That's not it, when have I ever lost a fight." Xiao Liu grinned, his mouth hurt a little, he raised his hand to cover it, and there was ruthlessness in his eyes, "Who dares to look down on it." ”

Qi Xiangsi picked up the medicine bottle: "Take your hand." ”

Xiao Liu hurriedly snatched the medicine bottle from her hand, and said with a smile: "You are the eldest lady now, you can't let you do these things anymore, there is a difference between men and women, and you will come here less in the future, what if others see you and say bad things about you." ”

"That's what I did in the hospital." How could Qi Xiangsi eat his set, he pulled his sleeve hard, poured the medicinal oil and wiped it in his hand, and rubbed it vigorously on the red and swollen part of his arm, Xiao Liuyi gritted his teeth, and his face turned into a pig's liver color.

"Does it hurt?" Qi Xiangsi looked up at him, Xiao Liu shook his head hurriedly, and then gasped again.

When Qi Xiangsi let go of his hand, his face was already flushed, and he retracted it quickly, it turned out to be the pain of a bruise on his arm, and it was a spicy pain after being rubbed at this time.

"It will hurt for a while, just rub it open, and let the fat man rub it for you then." Qi Xiangsi got up and went to the yard to wash his hands, and the fat man who was pretending to clean up the bamboo strips for the dumb outside hurriedly ran in, and couldn't help but feel sympathetic when he saw him like this, "It's really ruthless." ”

"Shut your mouth, don't do anything bad!" After feeling a little more comfortable, Xiaoliu turned his head and glared at him, "If you open your mouth, you will say the wrong thing." ”

"You're fighting for her." Hearing the sound outside, the fat man was busy with his mouth, and turned his head to look, Qi Xiangsi was standing at the door and looking at the two of them, smiling, "Xiaoliu is fighting, what are you doing, fat man." ”

"I just happened to be on delivery that day!" The fat man reacted quickly at this time, "I won't know until I come back that Xiaoliu is fighting with someone." ”

"How many enemies are you?"

The fat man turned his head to look at Xiao Liu, and had the meaning of asking: "Enemy three?" ”

Xiaoliu coughed: "It's over, we're fine, we'll go to work in two days, don't delay." ”

"I bought a shop in Jinqiao, which sells some groceries from the north to the south, you have been running in the shop for two years, why don't you take care of it for me." Qi Xiangsi took out the key and paper and gave it to him, "It's better to run errands with others than to be the shopkeeper yourself." ”

Xiao Liu was stunned, and the fat man was also stunned: "The shopkeeper? ”

Qi Xiangsi smiled: "Yes, shopkeeper." ”

The fat man was still stunned and couldn't react, turned his head to look at Xiao Liu, and then looked at Qi Xiangxi, still feeling incredible.

There was silence inside and outside the house, and the fat man took the key from Xiao Liu's hand and looked at it carefully, and at the end he couldn't help but sigh: "Boss, I'm not dreaming." ”

He thought that he was going to be a beggar for the rest of his life, who wanted to come to Kyoto City, and still live a life where he could sleep without being driven out, and he could pick meat when he had a full stomach, and now the monkey actually said that he wanted them to be the shopkeeper.

The fat man naturally thought of the days when he was in Yongzhou, how unattainable the shopkeeper was, they squatted outside the shop, watching people go in and out, and the shopkeeper greeted everyone with a smile, but when he turned around and saw them, he was disgusted, and after a while, he let the guys come out and drive them away.

Who would have thought that one day he could become such a person, the fat man looked up at Qi Xiangxi: "Is this true?" ”

"You go over and take a look when you're empty, and you're in charge of what is in the shop." Qi Xiangsi glanced at Xiao Liu, "I also invited a master, if there is anything I don't understand, I can ask him." ”

After saying that, Qi Xiangsi turned around and walked out of the yard, the fat man was still holding the key, and turned his head to say something.

Xiao Liu got up and slapped him, snatched the key from him, and chased him out without saying anything.

Qi Xiangsi had already gotten into the carriage, Xiao Liu ran to the carriage, and wanted to return the key to her with a wounded face: "We can't ask for this, the yard here is already your money, and it's not bad for us to run the goods." ”

"The deed is still with me." Qi Xiangsi pushed the key back, and her no longer asking about his injury did not mean that she couldn't guess, "If you feel that you owe me and want to support yourself, in the future, you will take the money you earn to open a shop by yourself." ”

Xiao Liu pursed his lips: "It's not easy for you to be in the Qi family, and now you are going to the hospital, you take care of yourself, you don't have to worry about the affairs of a few of us." ”

"You're my good friends." Qi Xiangsi smiled, his eyes flashed, "With me for a good day, I won't miss you a day of meat." ”

Xiao Liu smiled, this sound too familiar, when she and A Ying came to their place, he also patted his chest and assured them that he would have a good day and they would have a bite of meat to eat.

It's just that she's doing it now.

"Look at the past few days, you have been running with the caravan for almost two years, and you are also familiar with these northern and southern goods, I am most relieved to hand them over to you." Qi Xiangsi urged him to go back, Xiao Liu took a few steps back, and when he turned around, the carriage had already passed the corner.

He held the key, his hands hot from copper.

The fat man chased him out, pushed and asked, "The monkey handed us the shop, I see that her relationship with us is still the same as before, do you say yes?" ”

"She's a good friend." Xiao Liu tugged at his mouth, his expression was unclear, "You go, get some wine." ”

When Qi Xiangsi returned to Qi Mansion, the sky was slightly dark, and the wind was blowing on the flat ground, which seemed to be raining.

Not long after returning to Siyi Courtyard, the pouring rain fell, and in early summer, it was still stuffy under the eaves.

Yuan Bao was lying on the windowsill, lazily watching the heavy rain falling like thread beads, Qi Xiangsi drank a bowl of bitter ginseng tea, and looked up at the cloves: "The second master sent a steward over?" ”

"Yes, girl, according to your orders, the second master only took two of those books after they were taken out."

"Two?" Qi Xiangsi flipped through the remaining six books, took away what his father wrote, and took away a relatively esoteric side book.

"The steward also said that the second master asked you to go to him to pick up books if you want to read in the future."

"Then let's go over tomorrow and see." Qi Henian opened his mouth like this, Qi Xiangsi naturally wouldn't be polite to him, and she also wanted to know how many grandfather and father's books were in the study.

"The four girls came to you in the afternoon." Lilac took the bowl down and handed over a small brocade box, "I've left this for you." ”

Qi Xiangsi opened the box, and there was a very delicate neckline inside, with a silver-inlaid edge hollow hook, and an oval emerald inlaid in the middle, and the hook wire at the bottom also spread to the gem, like the shape of a vine, surrounding the gem.

"The fourth girl said that this was ordered by Madame before, and because you didn't come back, it was temporarily placed with her."

Qi Xiangsi asked her to put her things away, the rain outside the house was still very strong, and the heat gradually dissipated, and the air was filled with a cool feeling.

Qi Xiangsi took out the medical book that he copied overnight, leaned against the window and opened it.

When I looked up again, it was already dark.

After washing, I went to bed early, and the next morning I went to the various hospitals to say goodbye, and the day I returned to Qi's house was like this.

Qi Xiangsi saw Brother Hun'er outside the Splendid Garden, the four-year-old child has grown a lot taller than two years ago, but when he saw her, he looked very angry, and he didn't come to call his sister when he met like in the past, but he only glanced at her in the nurse's arms, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Qi Xiangsi called Brother Hun'er with a smile, and Brother Hun'er whispered to her: "Fifth sister." ”

"Why don't you look very good?" Qi Xiangsi stepped forward and wanted to reach out to cover his forehead, but she didn't expect the nurse to move faster than her, and hugged the side, and she only touched the side.

"Fifth girl, Madame is in the courtyard." The nurse smiled and wanted to hug Brother Hui and walk away, Qi Xiangsi directly grabbed her and looked at her lightly, "What are you hiding?" ”

"The sixth young master is going for a walk." The nurse couldn't break free holding people in her hands, and looked at Qi Xiangsi with a smile, "This is the habit of the sixth young master, and I have to go to the garden for a walk at this hour every day." ”

Qi Xiangsi ignored her, and reached out to cover Brother Hun'er's forehead, which was a little hot.

The nurse couldn't stop it this time, and she couldn't force it, so she could only look at Qi Xiangsi: "Fifth girl, what are you doing." ”

"The nurse who took care of the sixth brother two years ago was kicked out of the house because she didn't care about him and was frightened." Qi Xiangsi looked at the nurse with a smile, "What, do you still want to hide this matter and watch him get sick?" ”

"Fifth girl, what are you talking about?" The nurse stretched out her hand and touched Brother Hui'er's forehead, it was indeed hot, her face was slightly shocked, and she immediately returned to the Splendid Garden with him in her arms.

The nurse left in a hurry, more like to avoid Qi Xiangsi to stop her, Qi Xiangsi then entered the Splendid Garden, and the nurse in the wing room did not come out again after holding Brother Hun'er into the house, let alone sending someone out to ask for a doctor.

Qi Xiangsi retracted her gaze and entered the house, there was not only the Gu family in the house, but Aunt Xu was also there.

"Mother." Qi Xiangsi saluted and sat down next to her, and Aunt Xu sat opposite her, her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and the whole person looked plump.

Aunt Xu's expression was very deferential, as if she was begging for something, she looked up at Gu, her lips moved slightly, and finally she didn't say anything, and lowered her head again.

Gu Shi didn't pay attention to her expressions in his eyes, but turned his head to look at Qi Xiangsi, and said in a gentle tone: "Come back for a few days?" ”

"I'll be back at the beginning of the month."

After hearing this, Gu Shi nodded: "That's right, there will be a banquet in Yueyang Palace's mansion in a few days, you can go with me." ”

Qi Xiangsi was slightly stunned, and said yes, Gu Shi immediately looked at Aunt Xu, and didn't know how long she had been allowed to sit here, and her tone faded obviously: "When Aunt Qian was pregnant, there were two people to serve, and the rules in the house are like this, if you can't take care of it here, I will add another one to you." ”

Aunt Xu's face was slightly happy: "Thank you, madam." ”

"But this person who is added, you have to pay for the moon silver yourself." Gu gently rubbed the ring in his hand, "According to the rules, when the child is born, you should add another person, and then you don't have to pay the extra monthly money yourself." ”

Aunt Xu's smile froze, the moment of change was not timely, a little embarrassing, she was pregnant and adding one more person is not too much to ask, why does Yueyin have to come out by herself.

It's not about a few taels of silver, it's just a breath.

Gu's expression was indifferent, and he was not afraid to say this in front of Qi Xiangsi, and after finishing speaking, he took a sip of tea from his cup, and motioned to Mother Chen to go out and call someone, and wanted to add another person to serve Aunt Xu.

The room was quiet for a while, Qi Xiangsi got up to leave, and when she went out, she met Chen's mother with a mother-in-law, followed by two maids.

After they entered the house, Qi Xiangsi went down the steps and looked towards the wing, where the door was still closed.

Lilac shouted to her, Qi Xiangsi was not very relieved, and walked towards the wing, and when she was about to reach the door, a low cry suddenly came from the house.

Then the nurse lowered her slightly scare voice: "Sixth young master, you must not talk nonsense, if the lady knows, she will be angry." ”

A weak voice: "I have a headache." ”

"My head doesn't hurt when I get some sleep."

"Nurse, I want to find my sister."

"Sixth Young Master, your aunt has made a big mistake, you should be more obedient, otherwise no one will like you."

Brother Hui in the house looked at the nurse with wide eyes and tears, he was uncomfortable, he wanted to find his sister.

The nurse was still persuading him earnestly, and asked the maid to wring a cloth towel and send it over to him to put on his forehead and sighed: "Sixth young master, you are no better than the other young masters in the mansion now, your aunt made a big mistake and was locked up, you have to be obedient." ”

"I want a sister." Brother Hun'er stretched out his hand to hug him, but the nurse pressed his hand back, and the maid on the side persuaded, "If you don't ask Madame, the sixth young master is uncomfortable and has to see the doctor." ”

"It's you or I'm in charge." The nurse turned her head and glanced at the maid, "I just reported to Mrs. two days ago, how long has it been, if I make Mrs. feel disgusted again, the life of the sixth young master will be even more difficult in the future." ”

The nurse said the first word, and at the end she turned her head and continued to comfort Brother Hun'er: "Sixth young master, you can sleep, you will be fine after sleeping, and when you are comfortable, the nurse will take you to find the sixth girl, but now it is not possible, you have to be obedient, ah." ”

Brother Hun'er pursed her lips, holding back her tears and not falling, the nurse felt satisfied, and asked the maid to wring a dry cloth towel to cool her forehead, the door was pushed open, and Qi Xiangsi walked in.

"Five girls." The nurse stood up, too late to cover the basin placed next to the bed, her eyes flashed slightly, and she was a little embarrassed.

"The doctor didn't even look at you to know that something was fine, it seems that whoever has any illness in the house in the future, just invite you over to take a look." Qi Xiangsi walked directly to the side of the bed and picked up Brother Hun'er, the temperature at the gate of the courtyard was not high just now, and now it is already hot to put it on again.

Qi Xiangsi immediately asked Lilac to ask for a doctor,

Brother Hui'er still refused to fall with tears hanging down his eyes, he nodded, Qi Xiangsi put him on the bed, even if she had confidence, she didn't dare to diagnose randomly, she still had to ask the doctor to come over

Chen's mother came faster than the doctor, and when she saw the situation in the house, she immediately understood, frowned and glanced at the nurse, and then looked at Qi Xiangsi and said, "There is me here, five girls, you can go back first." ”

"Since you're here, let's wait for the doctor to come." Qi Xiangsi had no intention of leaving, she sat on the edge of the bed, Brother Hun'er kept holding her hand, her little hand grabbed her five fingers tightly, and she didn't know how scared she was.

Soon, Dr. Guan came.

After getting a little cold at night, Brother Hun'er was already weak, so he was so prone to fever.

"Sometimes the sixth young master will be like this, as long as he rests for a while, he will be fine, and I don't know what's wrong today." The nurse heard Dr. Guan say that it was a poor body, and explained with a smile.

"In such a situation, you should send someone to the hospital in time." Doctor Guan looked at the nurse disapprovingly, "You can't make decisions about whether it's good or bad." ”

The nurse's face was blue and white for a while, and Qi Xiangsi took advantage of Dr. Guan's prescription to ask: "Doctor Guan, you said that Brother Hun'er is weak, so do you have to make up for him with this medicine?" ”

"It's nature." Doctor Guan quickly prescribed the prescription, Chen's mother asked someone to go to the hospital with him, Qi Xiangsi followed Doctor Guan out of the courtyard together, at the gate of the Splendid Garden, Qi Xiangsi asked him seriously, "Doctor Guan, the sixth young master's body was not bad before, why is this happening now." ”

Doctor Guan had a good impression of this fifth girl, and she was now going to the Tai Hospital, so he said bluntly: "The sixth young master is growing up, and his foundation is not bad, but he has been sick several times in the past two years, and once he even dragged on a high fever for a day before he came to invite us. ”

"Listening to the nurse, now the sixth young master often has a fever, and sometimes he retreats quickly without asking a doctor." Qi Xiangsi is worried that it will become a habit in the long run, and this body will become worse and worse.

"This requires post-illness recuperation, and the sixth young master is now weak." Doctor Guan paused, and also had something to say, "You have to take good care of it." ”

After sending off Dr. Guan, when Qi Xiangsi went to Jinxiu Garden again, Gu was already in the wing, and he didn't see Aunt Xu, he should have gone back, and Brother Hui was lying there, looking very well-behaved.

The nurse was still explaining why she had made the sixth young master sick again, and the words were full of words that the sixth young master was weak, and he was fine when he went out, but he was sick when he came back.

In the end, it seems that it is not easy for me to take care of it, and it takes a lot of thought for the sixth young master to be so pampered.

Qi Xiangsi walked into the house and took the nurse's words with a smile: "Yes, mother, since the nurse feels that she can't take care of the sixth brother, then she must really not be able to take care of it." ”

Gu Shi glanced at her, the nurse's face was scornful, she was facing the fifth girl outside the courtyard.

"Although my daughter is not good at learning, she also knows that the fever of the sixth brother from time to time is related to the weak constitution, and Dr. Guan said that these need to be treated after illness and taken care of." Qi Xiangsi glanced at the nurse, "I think there is nothing wrong with Dr. Guan's medicine." ”

"Madam Mingjian, I am doing my best to take care of the sixth young master." The nurse heard that she didn't take care of it, and she was busy begging Gu Mingjian.

"Just now when I came to Jinxiuyuan to ask my mother for peace, I found that the sixth brother was not in good spirits, I wanted to see what was wrong with him, but the nurse still stopped me from looking, I think she knew that the sixth brother was not feeling well, but for some reason why he didn't have a gift."

Qi Xiangsi smiled and looked at the nurse, the splendid garden is so big, how can the movement of the wing room be hidden from the main house, unless it is not caring, unless it is conniving, to put it bluntly, this nurse will always be unable to stay.

Gu's expression was slightly condensed, and the nurse showed a trembling look, the room was quiet, Qi Xiangsi stood by the door, and Chen's mother was taking care of Brother Hun'er by the bedside.

Half-loud, Gu Shi said lightly: "Since you don't take care of it, let's change it again." ”

The nurse was stunned, she did all this by the lady's default, how could it!

After relieving herself, the nurse looked at Qi Xiangsi, but Qi Xiangsi felt that this scene was a little familiar, two years ago, when Brother Hun'er was just sent to Jinxiuyuan, he was frightened and sick, and it seemed to be the same at that time.

changed the nurse, changed the maid who took care of it, and after only two years, it was necessary to change again

Qi Xiangsi, who returned to Siyiyuan, was a little difficult to calm down, she sat under the grapevine trellis, leaned against the pillar, pinched the pendant in her hand, and touched it gently.

"Ah Ying, didn't I do this well."

Qi Xiangsi looked down at the pendant, even if she had her eyes closed, she could feel what was engraved on it, and she murmured in a low voice: "I didn't feel that Aunt Lu's matter was wrong from beginning to end, but Ah Ying, that child is too innocent." ”

He was only two years old when he was separated, I'm afraid that Brother Hun'er doesn't have much about his aunt in his memory now, he is afraid of them, if the words she heard outside the door are often instilled, Qi Xiangsi can't imagine what Brother Hun'er will become when she grows up.

For a housewife, perhaps what the Gu family did was already polite, and it didn't seem to be a strange thing that the housemother soaked her children in Kyoto City.

Qi Xiangsi raised his head, "Ah Ying, if it were you, what would you do." ”
