The autumn rain does not stop, and the autumn cold is heavier.

Mrs. Wen came to Hoi An Mansion in the morning. In such weather, almost all people have added clothes. Wen asked Yahuan Team Ling to turn out a red fox fur vest for her early in the morning.

In the autumn wind and autumn rain, Huining Mansion seemed quieter than usual.

Wen was stopped by Mother Du in the corridor of Xing'an Courtyard, bowed, and said, "Mrs. Ji'an, please go back first." Madame was suddenly ill last night. Dr. Lu said, don't let people into the room these days. ”

The hallway smelled of burning mugwort leaves.

Wen was shocked, "What disease?" ”

"I can't tell. Master Hou also said that don't let people into the room these days. "Mother Du didn't dare to say that Mrs. was infected with the epidemic.

"She's my sister. I'm sick, I'm not going to look at it? Does that make sense? Wen's temper came up, bypassing her and running to the upper room.

"Mrs. Gian!" Qiaomeng came out of the house and stopped her with open arms.

"I'll just see if my sister is okay!" Wen anxiously poked his head out to look inside.

"I took medicine last night and my condition has stabilized." Qiao Mengdao.

"If it's an epidemic, aren't you waiting in the house? I see you're in good spirits. Wen took her hand and had to go.

"We've been drugged!"

"It's a big deal, I also take medicine to prevent it. There must still be a decoction in the house. Bring me a bowl to eat! ”

"Mrs. Gian. Really not afraid? ”

"My sister and I are not sisters, but she is my husband's sister. Such a big thing, if you don't let me see her with my own eyes, I'm not sick but I'm sick! ”

I dreamed that she had an impatient temperament and was easily impulsive. "You wait." I'll go in and talk to Madame. ”

"Hmm."

Wen firmly believed that Zeng must have wanted to see her at this time.

Sure enough, after a while, Qiaomeng came out with a warm medicine, and didn't wait for Qiaomeng to speak. Wen snatched the bowl, drank it with his head up, and stepped into the room.

Zeng had already slept in the main bedroom, and Qiaolian was lying in the warm pavilion.

Gou Ruyun guarded Zeng's and looked at Qiaolian skillfully.

Wen crashed into the main bedroom, and Zeng slept on the bed, covered with a thick quilt. The windows are tight, the brazier is lit in the house, and the lantern is lit in the house.

"Sister!" Wen threw himself in front of the bed. Kneeling on the ground, seeing Zeng's appearance clearly, she was so frightened that her face changed, and she was ten years old in just one night.

"How so?" Wen's heart was cold. How important is this appearance to Tsang? And so on. Soon Hou Ye's love for the Zeng family faded.

Gou Ruyun slowly told the situation last night.

Wen's face turned pale, "Qiaoxin, they said that my sister drank the autumn wind golden dew before going to bed last night?" ”

Gou Ruyun said, "That tea is hot." The doctor said that the hot tea I drank before should be fine. ”

"Sister. Ruyun and I have given it to you, and Qianjing has specially sent a letter to remind you that we don't understand her set of Mingtang, but everything has a life, and we all know this basic truth. Some of the things were eaten by someone who was excellent. Someone who eats it will be uncomfortable. Ying Rong'er and you are in conflict. Yesterday I ate her birthday wine, and so many people congratulated her. She was at the head of the red fortune. What Qianjing said is very reasonable, two people who commit rushes, one is lucky, and the other must be weak, so you must not touch anything related to her. I couldn't have a banquet in the restaurant yesterday, and you still drink her tea when you come back? How can you not get sick? Wen counted in a heartache.

"I drank tea last night." Zeng sighed, his voice so hoarse that it was hard to hear.

"Originally, tea was a detoxification. But you drank it and got sick. I'm going to throw that tea away! Wen got up from the ground, ran to the outer closet, found the two pots of tea, and threw them outside.

With a bang, the fine white porcelain shattered, and the tea leaves splashed all over the ground.

was so frightened that the mother-in-law outside was suddenly startled and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Mrs. Gian, you are really impatient. Even if you want to throw it, throw it out well, how can you break it outside the house? I'll have to send someone to clean it up. Qiao Meng saw that she didn't stop her in the house, so she muttered at the door, and then called a maid and her mother-in-law to clean up the outside.

"Be careful in the future! Stay away from Ying Rong'er and everything related to her. Wen returned to Zeng's bed, knelt on the ground, held her hand, and nagged with concern.

"Hey. Could it be that my luck is not as good as Ying Rong'er? Tsang's heart was full of sorrow.

"Sister. You're not young. Where can such a thing be withstanded? Wen said, got up and picked up the shiny bronze mirror on the dresser at the end of the dresser, and looked at her, and said, "It's not that I scare you. If it weren't for that, you wouldn't remember the lesson. Every few days, he only thought about Kang'er and hurt himself again. ”

Zeng raised his head and looked in the mirror, gasping coldly, he almost didn't recognize the ugly woman in the mirror as himself. In a hurry, the weak body and dizzy eyes.

Qiao Meng came in and rebuked, "Lady Ji'an. Why do you care so much about your wife's body? ”

Zeng sighed, "Don't blame her. ”

"How much time and thought did you spend to keep your appearance? How much time and effort do you have to spend recovering? Wen ignored Qiaomeng.

Zeng held her hand and shed tears, "I'm afraid that it will be difficult to recover after this time." I feel like this disease has drained all the essence of my body. ”

"It's fine. Take care of your body first. Slowly conditioning, you will definitely recover. Mrs. Gian began to comfort her again.

"Hmm."

"Let's not talk about the unfortunate Ying Rong'er. Say something else. ”

Wen sat down on the edge of her bed and began to tell jokes to amuse her.

Zeng has her faithful company,. Gou Ruyun and Qiaomeng comforted her on the side, saying that people are like this when they are sick, they look ugly, and as long as they are sick, they will kneel when they are ugly. After a while, Wen's mood was slightly better.

"Girl Dream." Du's mother was calling softly outside.

Qiaomeng and Qiaoxin went out at the same time.

Du's mother turned pale and pointed to Yajing, who was still carrying a wooden basket for sweeping the floor, and said in a panic, "Just now she and Mother Guo cleaned the outside, and then the two of them went to the miscellaneous yard to take out the garbage. Coming from the side, I lay on the wooden basket, somehow licked and ate the tea leaves, and suddenly rolled in pain. Ya Jing said that Mo didn't eat the broken porcelain? Guo's mother broke the cat's mouth and spit out some tea leaves. The cat still spit out the tea leaves, it was still not good, and after rolling on the ground a few times, it rolled its eyes and died! ”

"Impossible!" Qiaomeng and Qiaoxin were shocked at the same time.

"Don't believe me. Mother Guo was afraid of scaring you, so she put the cat in a basket and took it around the corner. Du's mother said nervously.

Qiaomeng and Qiaoxin glanced at each other. Walking around the corner on the right, I saw Guo's mother standing there with a basket in front of her. There was a white-flowered cat that had just died.

"This is the big flower that the kitchen fed to catch rats." Qiao Mengdao.

Qiaoxin frowned, "You wait." I'll have to report it to my wife. ”

Qiao Meng said, "Mother Du." It's complicated. You call someone to ask Dr. Lu to come over and see if you can find out the cause of Dahua's death. Whether it has anything to do with this tea. ”

"Yes."

"Mother Guo. Yajing, you are waiting here. ”

Qiaoxin and Qiaomeng returned to the house and had to tell Zeng about it.

"I think there's a problem with that tea!" Wen was anxious when he heard this.

Zeng Shi calmed down instead, was stunned for a while, and then said, "If you want to die." I didn't die last night. Isn't it at the garbage heap, Dahua ate something else? Call Arran in! ”

Qiaomeng went out and called Arlan in.

Tsang asked carefully, "Have you seen where the flower cat came from and lay on your wooden basket?" ”

Ya Jing said carefully: "Slowly come from the kitchen." ”

Tsang: "Is there any other food in the garbage area?" ”

Yajing: "No. It's just some fallen leaves. Leftovers from the kitchen. Every day, someone came to collect it, but it didn't go to the garbage heap. ”

Zeng's heart was chilling. I couldn't help but cough a few times. Gou Ruyun hurriedly handed over a glass of boiling water.

"Wouldn't it be okay to let the doctor test the tea?" Wen said.

"You go and ask Imperial Doctor Lu to examine it, and then tell me." Zeng took two sips of water, was in a bad mood again, and lay down weakly.

"I'll see for myself. I'll report to my sister later. Wen snorted and went out.

"I'll have to go back and test it properly. Take this garbage and the dead cat to my house. "Dr. Lu came, took a preliminary look at the situation, and didn't dare to draw conclusions easily.

"Qiaomeng, you and the two of them take these things and follow me to Chunlan Courtyard!" Wen can't be relieved if he doesn't see Dr. Lu in person.

Half an hour later.

Wen and Qiaomeng are back.

Zeng was sick and drowsy, and he had this important event in his heart, and when he saw them come in, he straightened up half of his body and asked anxiously, "What is going on?" ”

"Hell yes!" Wen sat down angrily, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water to drink, and said puzzledly, "Doctor Lu said that the cat was not poisoned. Tea is also not poisonous. He went to the garbage with us to see, there was indeed no food left, and went to the kitchen to check, and the corners and corners were very clean. Dr. Lu said that the cat died of acute exhaustion. ”

Zeng's body fell softly, "Cats also have this disease?" ”

Wen said depressedly: "The kitchen people say that the cat is usually very healthy. Dr. Lu said that it may be related to eating tea, when the cat eats tea, it happens to have a heart attack, there are refreshing things in the tea, and when the heart is infarcted, it is not possible to drink tea. I don't know what the cat did, so I ate a lot of tea for a while. Dr. Lu has dissected the cat's belly and examined it carefully. ”

"How?" Tsang found it incredible.

"Sister. Look. That cat died of heartache after eating that tea..."Wen whispered.

Zeng didn't say anything, and the disgust and taboo corresponding to Rong'er in his heart suddenly reached its peak.

"Do you want to report this to Master Hou?" Qiao Meng whispered.

"Send someone to report it, and Zhikang will tell you there." Zeng said weakly.

"Alright. Got to the roots. It was Ying Rong'er who killed her sister. As long as she avoids her, my sister will soon be able to return to her former self. Wen sat down on the edge of her bed again, took her hand and said with concern.

"It's really a narrow road." Zeng sighed lightly, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The big stone in Gou Ruyun's heart fell to the ground, and he admired Zheng Qianjing's clever calculations so much that he threw himself into his body, and he was full of beautiful imagination about his future.

**

The next day, it was still raining.

Rong'er and Youxin, Congqing, Lingzhi, and Yingchun sorted out for a day and a half before all the congratulatory gifts were sorted out according to the gift list, except for the royal gifts and those from Huining Mansion, all of which were stored separately in the small room of the large warehouse.

In the afternoon, Youxin and Lang Wenqi went out. Rong'er and the others went to Nan'an Courtyard to see Shengrui.

It has been forty days since Xu gave birth, and she is still far from 100 days, but she can get out of bed and go to Shengrui's house, and sometimes sit in the living room.

During this period, Rong'er stopped acupuncture for her, and the rest relied on recuperation and natural recovery.

Shengrui ate his grandmother and went to sleep again after a while.

Xu Shi and Rong'er sat in the living room and talked happily.

Late autumn in the north is like winter.

Afraid that Xu's would suffer from the cold, a thick curtain was hung on the hall door.

Xu sat inward, and even if someone came in and lifted the curtain, he couldn't feel the wind chill outside.

Everyone ate dried fruits and chatted and joked.

"Chun'er. You have been in Anping Mansion for so long, and your mother didn't call anyone to urge you? Xu saw that Yingchun and Rong'er were fighting hotly, and Rong'er's birthday banquet was over, she had no intention of going home at all, and she was a little worried that Fan was probably embarrassed to urge her.

When Yingchun heard this, her small mouth pouted, "Aunt Rong didn't pick me up." Did you pick me up first? ”

Rong'er smiled, "Sister-in-law, don't rush Chun'er." I also want to keep her with me until the Chinese New Year. ”

Xu smiled, "I have a home and don't go home." What's that going on? ”

Lingzhi said on the side, "If my sister-in-law says so, our family should go back to Dongpingzhou?" ”

Xu's face flushed, "Lingzhi, you are the people of the Ying family." ”

"Am I an outsider?" Yingchun retorted unhappily.

"You... This kid... Why am I worried that Anping Mansion will have more mouths for you? I'm glad you can come and see Ruil every day. But you don't know your mother's temper. Xu said angrily.

"My mother's business, don't worry about my aunt. Take care of it yourself. Anyway, if Aunt Rong doesn't drive me away, I'll rely on it. Yingchun's black eyes blinked, and he didn't care about his sister-in-law's words.

"Look at what you are wearing and wearing now, all of them are your Aunt Rong's. I'm afraid that your mother will scold you for being greedy for enjoyment. Xu smiled.

Yingchun was unhappy and said, "Sister-in-law." Reactive power is not punished. I have followed Yuqin and they serve Aunt Rong. If you don't believe it, ask Aunt Rong. ”

After her birthday, Rong'er took off her red clothes. Today, he wore a thin cotton coat embroidered with red flowers on a pink and blue background, and said with a smile, "Chun'er is only a little shorter than me, and I can't finish my clothes." If she hadn't helped me wear it, I'd be taller next year, and some of them would be useless before they were worn. Chun'er helped me bring tea and water every day, and also helped me comb my hair and dress up, and my mother said that there were many children in the house, and it was much more lively. If Chun'er's mother comes to pick her up, sister-in-law, you have to help me keep Chun'er. ”

"Your clothes are yours. Chun'er herself is not undressed. "Xu is most afraid of the strictness of his sister-in-law's bones, and has never allowed children to take advantage of others.

Lingzhi pointed to the Biluo flower jacket on his body and said, "What is it?" I'm wearing Sister Rong's, too. She also made a lot of new clothes last year, and she wore short sleeves, and I wore just right. My mother took care of me tightly, but she didn't say anything about this kind of thing. Uncle said that this is excellent, and it is a good thing not to waste it. (To be continued.) )
