When she returned to the house, she asked Honglu to take the prepared ginger slices and wipe them on her eyes, and suddenly her tears flowed endlessly, and after a quarter of an hour, she looked in the mirror and found that her eyes were red and swollen, so she gave up, so she sent the girls down, and sure enough, after a while, I heard a report from the outside that Xiao Donghai was coming.

Fang Qionghua hurriedly stood up, forced a smile on her face to greet her, and asked her husband if he was busy with his work in the yamen this day? He told him that Gu Qiluo had arrived home, and he had brought back Xiao Jiangbei's letter and other things, and as he was talking, he heard Xiao Donghai ask in a deep voice: "Qionghua, why are you crying?" Who bullied you? ”

"Who bullied me? Now who in the house doesn't know that the master is protecting me, and the minions who don't take me in their eyes are gone, and who else can bully me. This is Fang Qionghua's cleverness, didn't she deny it and said, "Where did I cry"? Instead, he admitted that he cried about it, but denied that someone was bullying, which is naturally a more clever desire to get away with it.

Sure enough, I saw that Xiao Donghai didn't believe it at all, and said in a deep voice: "You have always been strong, if you weren't angry, how could you cry and your eyes were swollen?" ”

Fang Qionghua hurriedly wiped her eyes and said with a forced smile: "The master originally said this." It's not that someone is bullying me, but the old lady is happy today, and let people invite people from all rooms to come over, although I am busy during the day, but I think that it is rare for the old lady to be so uplifted, so I also went over to join in the fun. Looking at the laughter, I was ...... I couldn't help but think of the past, when I was by my parents' side, and they loved their daughter like a treasure, and the house was full of laughter all the time, and I was just an ignorant girl at that time. I dreamed all day long, thinking that my cousin would marry me in the future, but I didn't expect that how could things be as people wanted? In the blink of an eye. One qiē has changed. Fortunately, now that I can finally be with my cousin, I should be content in this life, but when I recall the past, it is always inevitable to be sad. ”

As she spoke, she began to cry again, which naturally aroused Xiao Donghai's pity and guilt, hugged Fang Qionghua for a long time to comfort her, and asked Gu Qiluo how his attitude was when he came back today? Fang Qionghua is naturally full of good words. However, Xiao Donghai has long been accustomed to her "compromised" temperament, thinking of the previous words, he has an impression: It seems that the daughter-in-law is not very friendly to his wife. At the very least, it's certainly not affectionate. In fact, he shouldn't have expected this without his wife saying it. He married his stepfamily, and the several congratulatory gifts sent back by his son and daughter-in-law from Liaodong were perfunctory at first glance, and his sons and daughters blamed Qionghua for the early death of his ex-wife, but they didn't want to think about it. Myself for this home. For the sake of their children, he also did his best in the first half of his life, and now he only wants to live with his beloved woman and Meimei for the rest of his life, why can't they be considerate?

Because the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, but I couldn't express it on my face, and after comforting Fang Qionghua, the people sent a supper, and Fang Qionghua ate a big bowl of wine-stuffed rice balls. I also felt embarrassed, so I asked Xiao Donghai to visit Xu Taijun. She asked the girls to remove the hairpin ring jewelry for herself.

Here Xiao Donghai went out, and "just rightly" saw Qinglian coming out of the side room, and when she saw him, the girl came over and whispered: "Master, Mrs. is such a sentimental character, don't be irritable." She has suffered too much over the years. ”

Xiao Donghai nodded and said, "I naturally know this." But your wife is at the old lady's tonight, don't you have a meal? I think she had a lot of late-night snacks. ”

Qinglian smiled bitterly: "What else does the master not know?" My wife is there, can she eat? Everyone is affectionate, only she sits there alone, of course, this is the majesty of the wife, but the lord should know that the wife has never wanted these, she wants a harmonious and beautiful home......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking, and then sighed again: "It's the slave and the maid who are in a hurry and talkative, and the wife doesn't let the slave and the maid say these words on weekdays, but the slave and the maid look at the wife and pity her, and she can't be happy in the day, so she can only work hard, so she can't help it...... Alas! Fortunately, there are still such things to do outside the house for the wife, otherwise the slave would not dare to imagine how lonely and desolate she would be. ”

Xiao Donghai nodded wordlessly, and let Qinglian go in to serve, he came to Xu Taijun's courtyard with a heavy heart, knowing that his mother had not yet rested, so he hurriedly went in to ask for peace, and saw that the old lady's spirit was really much better than before, Fang Jue was a little happy. Because I asked the doctor in detail about the diagnosis and treatment, and asked the girls very much, I listened to the old lady and said: "Okay, these good people around me have served for several years, and I don't need your instructions." But now Qiluo came back and brought a letter from Jiangbei, I stayed here, Qiuyue, you go and bring the letter from Jiangbei to your lord. ”

Xiao Donghai took the letter, but he was not busy reading it, but only said with a smile: "Mother is not good these days, my son is really anxious, now Jiangbei daughter-in-law is back, she is the most measured, and she is favored by her mother, and she will often let her come to her mother's side to walk around in the future, probably my mother's illness should be cured." It's just that the mother doesn't just take care of her grandson and daughter-in-law, Qionghua is also pitiful......"

didn't wait to finish speaking, and listened to Xu Taijun say: "That's it, I was fine, why did you mention her again to make me block my heart?" You really want me not to die so early, and to mention your daughter-in-law less in front of me in the future, you are confused by her, and I am not old and confused. ”

Xiao Donghai was suffocated, he couldn't say anything more anymore, he sighed in his heart, and he had to get up and leave. After he left, Qiu Yue served Xu Taijun to rest here, and whispered while helping the old lady tuck the quilt corner: "The old lady shouldn't talk to the master like this, he was originally suspicious that you treat the old lady badly, isn't this more solid?" Today, everyone is happy and lively, only the wife is sitting alone there, I expect her to go back and somehow pretend to be pitiful in front of the master, maybe she also brought the second grandmother. Now that your old man choked the old man with a word, it doesn't matter, if you make the old man suspicious and the second grandmother sow discord in front of you, wouldn't the second grandmother be wronged? It is clear that when the second grandmother persuaded you before, you promised to be good. ”

Xu Taijun smiled and said, "What do you know? I don't like this woman, you lord already knows. If I suddenly change my attitude tonight, he will wonder if the old woman has some powerful means to deal with his daughter-in-law, and then he will inevitably be suspicious of Qiluo, then it will really hurt the child, so I will harden my attitude tonight, and then slowly pretend to be softer in the future, and then he will not say that Qiluo persuaded me? Don't think about the good boy of that child? In this way, it will be convenient for Kira to act. Hum! I've eaten more salt than you've eaten, so don't you see as well as you can? ”

Qiu Yue was stunned, and said with a smile after a while: "Sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy, or the old lady is more thoughtful, and the slave maid is shallow in the end." After speaking, she saw Xu Taijun's smug smile on her face by candlelight, and she couldn't help wiping her eyes and sighed: "It's been a long time since the slave maid has seen the old lady like this, it's really thanks to the second grandmother coming back." ”

Seeing the true feelings of the big girl who has served him for several years, Xu Taijun was also very emotional, and sighed: "I was also a powerful person when I was young, and I didn't lose to Qiluo in terms of courage, but now that I am old, I can't manage things. ”

At this time, Gu Qiluo had also rested, and she didn't know that Old Taijun Xu of the North Courtyard had blind confidence in her. At this time, she was half-leaning on the bed, watching the dancing candle flame.

Qiu Rong walked in and was about to put down the tent and blow out the candles, but heard Gu Qiluo muttering: "Don't blow out the candles first, wait for me to get it myself, you can go and rest." ”

"Grandma."

Qiu Rong felt that something was wrong with Gu Qiluo, so he asked tentatively, but heard her say lightly: "After walking all the way, I just want to go back to the house quickly, so I don't have any other thoughts, and now that I have finally come back, I feel a little restless at this time, and let me be quiet by myself, you go out to sleep." ”

Qiu Rong smiled: "The slave understands, grandma is thinking about the second master, what's the matter?" Do you need a slave to talk to your grandmother? Relieve the pain of lovesickness? ”

Gu Qiluo glared at Qiu Rong angrily, and said "viciously": "You better get out, hum!" Dare to make fun of me like this, wait for me to match you with a kid tomorrow, and then send him out to do things every day, so that you husband and wife can get together less and leave more, and then see if you dare to laugh at me? ”

Qiu Rong pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Really, the slave maid just wants to solve problems for grandma, how did she come to you and become a joke for you?" Sure enough, the slave is difficult to do, so the slave goes to sleep first, and grandma shouts if she has any orders. ”

Gu Qiluo waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, by the way, add some charcoal fire to the smoke cage outside the house, so that it will be extinguished in the early morning, and you will be frozen at that time." After saying that, seeing that Qiu Rong promised to go out, she reached out and stroked her forehead.

Under her are the new futons that were only changed today, the green satin surface embroidered with yellow hibiscus brocade quilt is soft and warm, she remembers that this is still her dowry that day, after marriage, before she has time to use it, the husband and wife went to Liaodong together. Today, every qiē in this room is still familiar tight, but only the most familiar person is missing.

"Xiao Jiangbei, what are you doing now? But also looking at the starry sky and thinking about me? Forget it, I guess you can't do such a romantic thing without me by your side, at most you spread a map on the table and guess my itinerary, right? Well, let me tell you, I've reached the ground, and the house is a little bad, but fortunately, in the end, the time is short, and your father's cinnabar mole has not yet reached the point of monopoly, and now that I'm back, it's naturally impossible for her to do whatever she wants...... Well, forget it, I'll write to you tomorrow about these situations, I'm sleepy now, I want to sleep, you should go to bed quickly, maybe Zhou Gong will be happy, and we can join hands in our dreams. (To be continued......)
