Chapter 38: Apathy

When Chu Shi walked out of the old lady's room, her face was pale, and when she saw Qiao Weiyuan and Ruo Su saluting her, she just snorted and walked away. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In her eyes, Qiao Weiyuan has always been the concubine of the second room, and Ruosu is even less worth mentioning.

It's hard to say whether Bai Qishan can live in Lingnan for a long time, once the old lady returns to the west, what place can a cousin have in Qiao's family? !

When the time comes, don't mention telling her about a serious family's family affairs, even if she is a concubine for Qiao Weixun, she feels that she is elevated.

Chu left Moyaju with disdain.

After the maid on the other side reported, Qiao Weiyuan and Ruo Su stepped into the house one after another.

The incense burner was burning with sandalwood, and Ruosu, who was different from ordinary people, still smelled the strong smell of medicine.

The old lady's condition is probably much more serious than it seems.

Qiao Weiyuan sat down on the old lady's side, handed the bird cage to Mama Rong, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, my grandson went to the flower and bird market yesterday to buy this little beast for you, don't look at it as big, it will make people happy." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Ruo Su intentionally or unintentionally.

This made Ruosu even more uncomfortable, as if the little point mentioned was himself!

Old Mrs. Qiao pulled Ruosu to sit beside her, looked at Qiao Weiyuan with satisfaction, and said in a long tone, as if she was suppressing her lungs that wanted to cough out: "Brother Yuan has a heart, if your second brother can have half of your rules, my old woman can leave with peace of mind!" ”

The old man's heart was pressed with things, and the folds between her eyebrows seemed to have deepened a little more overnight, and she said: "Your father is busy with government affairs, and he needs you to take care of everything..... You can rest assured that even if the woman gives birth to a baby boy, it will not affect your current status in the second room. ”

She clearly pointed out Qiao Weiyuan's identity as 'sister-in-law'. Xia He can only give birth to a concubine.

Qiao Weiyuan smiled faintly, his face was calm beyond this age, and he said as if nothing had happened: "My grandson knows in my heart that my grandmother is dedicated to treating my grandson well." ”

Old Mrs. Qiao felt strange when she saw the two of them come together to ask for peace, and then looked at the pair carefully, her eyebrows and eyes bent with a smile, and she asked, "Sister Su and your distant cousin have been acquainted with each other for a few days, right?" ”

Ruosu felt an inexplicable embarrassment, Qiao Weiyuan was a child in her eyes, but in the eyes of these people, the two of them were clearly a pair of cousins.

Many times, things between cousins are inexplicable.

She hurriedly said: "Grandmother, I let the small kitchen stew Chuanbei pear juice, which can relieve cough and phlegm, you might as well try it." She explained, "Just now you had something to discuss with your eldest aunt, so I waited in the flower hall for a while, and I happened to meet my cousin. ”

When Qiao Weiyuan heard this, he sneered almost inaudibly, and said, "My cousin and I did meet by chance....... he suddenly didn't say anything for some reason.

Ruosu found that he was even colder when he laughed than when he didn't.

Old Mrs. Qiao seemed to be a little disappointed, coughing, and Mama Rong hurriedly took the box from Qiaoyun's hand: "It's hard to be Miss Biao, the old ancestor was still thinking about it yesterday, when the third girl was alive, she often stewed Sichuan pear juice for the old ancestor." ”

The atmosphere in the room instantly fell to freezing point.

The old lady's eyes were dim, although Qiao Ruosu was a concubine, she was also her own granddaughter, and she felt a little guilty about Aunt Liu's death.

Qiao Wei Yuan's handsome face seemed to be smeared with a layer of frost, which was a coldness that people couldn't look at directly, Ruosu saw that his cheeks carved like a knife and axe moved, and then said indifferently: "Grandmother is resting, and my grandson still has a few articles to do, so I will go down first." ”

A room full of people watched in amazement as he paced away.

Mama Rong was puzzled: "The third prince has never mentioned the third girl in front of outsiders, but today he reacted like this, I didn't expect to care about his hard-working third sister..... Hey....."

Ruosu couldn't help but hang his head.

Is this true?

How concerned he was when he heard about his own death?

Does he remember the useless third sister?

That..... Can she tell him she's still alive?

It wasn't until Qiao Weiyuan's back was no longer traceable that Ruo Su came back to her senses, and the old lady patted the back of her delicate hand and said, "Your cousin Yuan is a promising person, what does Sister Su think?" ”

Ruosu Yirin: "Ah.... What the? ”

Old Mrs. Qiao looked at her little white face with pity, and said with a kind smile: "It's okay to ....." It's still too young, stay by your side and raise it for a few more years!

Ruosu had lunch in the old lady's house before leaving.

After noon, Mama Rong hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "Ancestor, the two girls that the second wife gave to the third young master are gone. "What that means, it goes without saying.

Heavy sandalwood incense filled the room, and the table dedicated to the Bodhisattva was filled with pastries, powdered fruits, and mountains of nuts.

The old Nanmu Buddha beads in her hand became shiny because of the precipitation of the years, and the old lady Qiao closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, and then said slowly: "If you are blindly kind, you can't do big things, Brother Yuan is the one who can protect Sister Su!" ”

Mama Rong sighed: "What the ancestor said is true. ”

----------

The sun was in the west, and the pale orange light was shining around the house.

In the Lilac Garden, the maid picked off the red crepe lantern under the eaves with a bamboo pole and lit the candle inside early.

Everything here is as luxurious as ever.

Aunt Wang was like a canary living in a cage, stretching lazily, looking at the path leading to the courtyard moon gate, and complaining: "The second master went to the little slut's house again yesterday?" It's really kicking your nose in the face! I agreed that she would enter the house for the time being, and the second master, who didn't know what kind of fox trick she had used, didn't come to me for two days! ”

Mother Zhao smiled with difficulty, the most arrogant concubine in the world is estimated to be their young lady, even if Second Master Qiao wants to take a concubine, where can Aunt Wang be opposed in front of and behind!

No matter how much Second Master Qiao spoiled her, he had to snub her for a few days regardless of the overall situation.

She helped Aunt Wang to stand under the cloister, bent down and said, "Auntie, the second master is busy with official business, so he didn't come to our courtyard, don't take it too seriously." ”

The courtyard is full of lights, and the empty bluestone staircase is particularly lonely.

Aunt Wang's lips painted with bright red lipstick smiled bitterly, her eyes were dim, and she said with a chuckle in her coquettishness: "I want to see how long he can be indifferent to me!" ”

Now Qiao's house's affairs are all taken care of by the big house, and where is Qiao's second master's money enough for him to entertain in the officialdom, just going to the Crescent Moon Tower with his colleagues is the cost of a few hundred taels of silver.

And Dow's mother's family still has to rely on Dow's help to barely survive.

Silver is not omnipotent, but if there is no silver, no matter how noble the status is, it is not necessary to bow to her, the daughter of a 'humble' merchant!
