In the evening, when he returned to Qi's mansion, Qi Xiangsi asked Lilac to buy the embroidery picture from the embroidery building and send it to Qi Minhua as a thank you gift, and after eating some briefly, Qi Xiangsi instructed Jade to bring the incense candle basket, took out the small pocket clothes inside and put it on the table.

In the afternoon, she also went to the cloth village to ask an experienced master to see this, the fabric of the clothes was of the highest quality, but because of the improper preservation, the clothes were a little yellowed, and the specific years could not be distinguished, but it would not be these two years.

Yun Xia has been working as an errand in the house, no matter what she says, this pocket of clothes can't be hung on her head, in and out of the past few days, and she went to Zhenshui Temple to burn such clothes, who else will tell her to do this except Aunt Lu.

Pinching the half-burned embroidery under the pocket, Qi Xiangsi took out the purse that A Ying gave her, and there was embroidery on both sides of the purse, but in comparison, the embroidery on the purse was much better than that on the pocket, and it was not from one person's hand.

Qi Xiangsi originally suspected that this dress was worn by Brother Rong when he was born, but in contrast, it was not from Aunt Wei's hand, Qi Xiangsi turned to suspect that this dress was Aunt Lu's.

"Could it be that she embroidered it herself?" Qi Xiangsi muttered, it is impossible to say if the technique has changed in the next five or six years, and if you want to compare, you have to find the previous one.

Qi Xiangsi imagined boldly, and looked up at the jade: "Yun Xia can go home?" ”

"I'm back, I'll be back half an hour before you, girl."

Qi Xiangsi nodded, it was calm in Xiuhe Garden now, and Yun Xia definitely didn't tell the truth to Aunt Lu

Early the next morning, Acacia learned the news that Yun Xia was sick last night.

After returning home in the afternoon, Yunxia was nothing at first, and after dark, people began to get hot and cold, and she had no appetite for eating, and the maid in the same room sent her some over, and she vomited not long after eating, and now she is uncomfortable lying in bed.

Xiuhe Garden only knew that Yun Xia went to Zhenshui Temple for Aunt Lu to offer incense, thinking that she had eaten something unclean outside, so she hurriedly went to invite the doctor to come over, but the doctor said that she was frightened.

What can you be frightened by going to the temple to incense, Yun Xia's own explanation is that when he went down the mountain, he was startled by the snake that suddenly came out, and when he went to Aunt Lu's the next day, Yun Xia also said the same.

Yun Xia's illness is not yet cured, the whole person looks very haggard, Aunt Lu looks good, she didn't sleep well at night a few days ago, she always woke up in the middle of the night, and had some strange and scary dreams, but after asking Yun Xia to take things to Zhenshui Temple to burn them yesterday, she slept comfortably last night.

"If you have a good rest these days, you won't have to wait in front of you." Aunt Lu saw that she was a little unsteady on her feet, and waved her hand to let her out, and at the end she was still a little uneasy, "You can watch it burn clean." ”

Yun Xia had a fever in the middle of the night, and his mind was still swollen and hot, so he reacted a moment late and nodded: "It's burned clean." ”

"When the Zhenshui Temple was built, it was said that feng shui was good, and burning in the temple could also reduce pollution." Aunt Lu was very convinced of this statement, even if it was burned in the Qi Mansion, she also felt uneasy, she raised her eyes to look at Yun Xia, "Okay, you go down and rest, don't be confused and say the wrong thing." ”

"Yes." Yun Xia turned around and walked out of the house, the warm wind blowing in her face couldn't dispel the cold on her body, Aunt Lu described the clothes as filthy, if she knew that she ran out of the bamboo forest and didn't watch the clothes burn, she didn't know how angry she would be.

Thinking about it, Yun Xia's tired eyes flashed, it was burned clean, she came back after it was burned!

――――――――――――――――――――

There were a lot of people sitting in Biqiu Courtyard, Qi Xiangsi came late today, and caught up with the eldest aunt and them, and it didn't take long for her mother to come.

There are elders who don't have their share of talking, Qi Xiangsi just listens, the refreshments here are softer than theirs, Qi Xiangsi likes to eat, eats quietly and half-full, occasionally raises his head, they are talking.

After a while, Mother Lin came in, walked to Mrs. Qi's side and bowed her head and said a few words, and Mrs. Qi looked at them: "You go back first." Then let the Fang clan and the Gu clan stay.

Seeing that the old lady's calm expression didn't seem to be a big deal, Qi Xiangsi and the others got up to say goodbye, walked outside the house, Qi Minhua grabbed her, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the embroidery picture." ”

"The embroidery of the third sister is good, I saw that there were new ones, so I bought a few by the way." Just sent a few embroidery pictures, and she didn't know how to thank her for helping her a few times.

"I'll ask the magpie to send you the silver."

"Third sister, that's what I gave you."

Qi Minhua held her hand and shook her head with a smile: "These paintings are not cheap, how long have you been back, there are places everywhere to make silver, and when you get your mind, I like the few you picked very much, and it saves me from going out." ”

didn't wait for Qi Xiangsi to say anything, after walking to the fork in the road, Qi Minhua shook his hand at her and took the maid back to his yard, Qi Xiangsi was a little helpless, then this favor was not returned.

"Minying."

Qi Minyan's voice came from behind her, Qi Xiangsi turned around, Qi Minyan walked towards her, and said with a smile: "Let's go back together." ”

Qi Xiangsi was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay." ”

The two of them walked in the direction of Yi Rongxuan, and Qi Minyan spoke: "I heard that Brother Rong taught you to read and write a few days ago. ”

"It's just pointing out some things I don't understand."

"The teacher in the outer courtyard is slow to teach, if you want to recognize it quickly, I can teach you."

Qi Xiangsi turned her head to look at her, how could she take the initiative to teach her to read, if I remember correctly, she didn't follow her mother to learn to be in charge recently.

"We can also be female celebrities together." Seeing that she didn't speak, Qi Minyan smiled again, "Although my female celebrity is not as good as the third sister, she can also give some pointers." ”

Qi Xiangsi understood that she wanted to get acquainted with her.

"Okay." Qi Xiangsi readily agreed, "The fourth sister's female celebrity is also good, and it will inevitably trouble you when the time comes." ”

Just arrived at the door of Yirong Xuan, Qi Minyan nodded at her generously: "Definitely." ”

Qi Xiangsi entered Yirong Xuan, the smile on Qi Minyan's face was retracted, and the hand covered by her sleeve was actually clenched into a fist just now, and she was a little nervous.

"Girl, you and your wife are too late to learn what to feed, how can you have time to teach the five girls to read and write." The maid on the side was quite puzzled, the girl was going to discuss marriage in two years, and the lady was particularly concerned about the girl's affairs for a while, where was there anything else.

"Then I'll have to say it too." Qi Minyan turned around and walked towards her yard, she was the eldest sister, she had to express her position.

In the Biqiu courtyard here, Old Madam Qi's expression was not as relaxed as when she had just let her granddaughters go back, she looked at the two daughters-in-law, and finally her eyes fell on the Gu family: "What do you say." ”

Mrs. Qi asked Mother Lin to go out to inquire, at first a few days there was nothing, just a few days ago, I don't know who was staring at the Qi family, there were rumors outside that the third master of the Qi family had discarded his daughter for many years, and after a day, it was also spread that the third master of the Qi family discarded the child who died early at will, and even his own children could be treated like this, the third master of the Qi family was far from being as kind and benevolent as it seemed on the surface.

"These gossips, after a few days of suppression, have passed, but it is difficult to spread over there." Although Fang is not an official wife now, she was also an official lady before she got married, and she knows a little about some things in officialdom.

"From the south of the city to the east of the city, if it reaches the ears of Lord Zhongcheng, Herui will be crowned with the sin of abandoning his children." If the money can be done, Mrs. Qi will not worry about it, but now this Zhongcheng is a person who does not eat oil, and he is not used to saying it, and he is quite unaccustomed to a celebrity like the second child in front of the saint.

When the elder brother is not used to him, if something happens to the younger brother, it is definitely a three-point effort, plus those who have been staring at the Qi family, just waiting to fall into the well.

"The master's position was semi-decided last year, and at the beginning of this year, Lord He, who took over the lord and went to Huizhou to serve as the master, came back from the end of his term, and the official documents of his tenure are not accurate until now." What the Gu family thinks is what Mrs. Qi is worried about, and the merits are almost the same, so it depends on whose atmosphere is better, originally there was an incident in the family of Lord He who almost drowned her children, but now those words have spread, and the two of them are half a pound and eight taels.

In the middle of the ring, Fang Shi said his idea: "Mother, I think I have to send someone to Huizhou." ”

Old Madam Qi nodded: "That's what I mean, but you have to find it when you go to Huizhou." ”

"If you find it, whether it's in Huizhou or Kyoto, if you make a proper placement, you won't let those people make a mistake, it's those things about Minying" Fang Shi looked at Gu's family, there was such a fuss in Danfeng Garden a few days ago, I don't know how many people spread the news.

Gu Shi thought for a while: "Mother, isn't the Chengye Hou Mansion here to post, I'll take Minying with me in a few days." ”

"It's okay, the fifth girl is also smart, you mention these things to her and she will understand." Old Madam Qi paused and said, "Send someone to Huizhou again, find the place, settle down and take care of it, be sure to make this matter beautiful, and when Hexiang comes back, let him dredge it, Herui's matter can't go wrong again this time." ”

Mrs. Qi instructed here, after Gu returned to the Splendid Garden, she immediately asked Chen's mother to ask who had buried the child who died early, and Chen's mother inquired about it half a day later, and the old man handed over the errand to Aunt Lu's brother, but Aunt Lu's brother is not in Kyoto now, and I heard from the neighbors that he went out a few days ago.

"Go out at this time." Gu Shi frowned, "Do you know where you went?" ”

Chen's mother shook her head, and she couldn't inquire where she went out of the city gate.

Gu Shi picked up the cup and took a sip of tea: "How is Yirong Xuan there these days, didn't Min Ying go to Zhenshui Temple yesterday." ”

"Listen to the jade and say that it's okay, yesterday the five girls went to Zhenshui Temple to light the lamp for Aunt Wei and the child."

Gu's eyebrows moved, put down the cup, others didn't know where it was buried, but Minying was the child's sister: "Call Minying." ”
