Chapter 5: Dark Tides

When the words fell, the curtain had been lifted, and a woman wearing a blue embroidered wisteria dark flower armor picked up the curtain and entered, and when she saw the Chu family and the Wang family, she first smiled, and then bent down to salute. "Please, eldest lady, fourth lady. The old lady asked the slave maid to come and see the third lady...... Knowing that the third lady was getting better, the old lady cried with joy, if it weren't for the fact that she couldn't swallow for a few days, and her body was weak, she would have to come to see the third miss in person...... The slave maid brought a few ginseng plants, all of which were treasured by the old lady, and the old lady said that although the third lady was young, it would be okay to use less...... "As she spoke, she respectfully handed over the Nanmu box she was holding in her hand.

The Chu clan made a look, and Shui Qing, the big girl who had been serving the Chu clan, hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

"Sister Ziyun is too polite, the old lady is worried about her sister's body, so she sent someone to call the slave and maid over to ask, why bother Sister to go this way. Although it was April, the sun was also very strong near noon, and my sister went with the slave to drink a pot of tea to go to the summer. ”

"In this way, there is Sister Lao Shuiqing. Third Miss, take good care of your body, and when you are well, you will go to Jardine to play. The slave maid made peach blossom cake for the third lady to eat. ”

All eyes couldn't help but focus on Xie Ke on the couch. Xie Ke felt like he was on pins and needles...... This feeling of being cherished, cared for, or even spoiled, has been lost for too long. At this point, she still didn't believe that everything that was happening in front of her was true.

If it's a dream......

It's her dream, why can't she be free in her dream?

Thinking of this, Xie Ke nodded heavily. "The peach blossom crisp made by Sister Ziyun is the most delicious, I'm going to drool......" The sentence amused the people in the room, and the Chu family took Xie Ke into his arms lovingly. He scolded with a smile in his mouth. "This kid, just remember to eat, so that Miss Ziyun smiled. The girl thanked the old lady for me, and tomorrow Sister Bao is better, so I will take her to greet the old lady. Shui Qing, put the hibiscus cake just sitting in the kitchen to Ziyun with a box, the old lady's teeth are always not as good as in the past, this hibiscus cake is the most sweet and soft glutinous, and the old lady is suitable for use. ”

Shui Qing responded, leading Ziyun to use tea across the room. Ziyun thanked him, and instructed Xie Ke to cultivate well, and then went to the cross-room with Shui Qing to use tea.

The nanmu box containing the old ginseng was rested on the high flower table of oak hazel (mahogany board) next to the bed. The Chu clan didn't seem to care very much, and Xie Ke sighed lightly in his heart. The mother's maiden family, the Chu family, is also a real wealthy family, the home of hairpins. In the past three generations, there have been five jinshi, and there is also a leader. Some people in the clan are involved in officialdom, and they naturally take care of business.

Therefore, the Chu family became more and more wealthy.

Her mother is the only daughter of the Chu family's long house, and she has been pampered since she was a child.

A few old ginseng plants are not rare in the eyes of my mother. The old lady knew that sending this old ginseng was just a heart. But in the eyes of the eldest aunt Wang, it may be the mother, who is pampered and coquettish, and is addicted to luxury. Sure enough, a dark light quickly crossed Wang's eyes. But her mother didn't care at all, and blindly talked to the Wang family about Xie Ke's turn from danger to safety.

Xie Yun on the side also listened quietly.

Xie Ke had a headache, although she was only five years old now, in the eyes of others, she was just a little bean sprout...... "Mother, I heard the second brother say that a few days ago in the school, Mr. praised the eldest brother's poetry for doing well, saying that if the eldest brother works so hard, he will be able to give a small test in three years." "Xie Ke's topic is very good, and the Wang family is very useful. I couldn't help but answer. "It's rare that our sister Bao actually knows the next test. It's really not simple...... "What's that, I also know that my eldest brother will definitely be able to pass the children's examination and enter the official school." ”

Xie Ke's tone when he said this was soft and a little squeamish. Naturally, no one will take this tone seriously, but they just feel that Xie Ke is being praised, which is pleasing to him. The smile on Wang's face really deepened, and he turned sideways to Chu and said.

"I love to hear Sister Bao'er. Sister Chengbao Jiyan, if Brother You can pass the childhood test and enter the official school, I will definitely take Sister Bao to Dafuze Temple to have a good meal. ”

"Look at what the sister-in-law said, Sister Bao is just casually talking, if Brother You enters the official school, it is also Brother You's studiousness, and it is also a good sister-in-law's upbringing, what does it have to do with a yellow-haired little girl, but I should go to Dafuze Temple to have a meal, and I just happened to take Sister Bao to give the Buddha a pillar of incense, and ask the Buddha to bless Sister Bao to be able to turn evil into good fortune in the future." There's no one who doesn't like to hear people compliment their son.

Wang Shile opened his face, and Xie Yun on the side also smiled timidly when he saw this.

Xie Ke also smiled......

Then his eyes rolled. "Big brother must be extremely tired after working so hard. Mother, is it good to give the ginseng given by my grandmother to the eldest brother to stew soup? The eldest brother drank the ginseng soup, and he will definitely be able to pass the children's test, and he may be able to come back with a top prize in the future. ”

"Yo, look at our sister Bao'er's little mouth, it's sweet. The eldest aunt can't wait to kiss a few bites. Wang said happily.

If it's just a few ginseng plants, it's won, and it won't be so happy as Wang's, mainly because of Xie Ke's words, Wang loves to listen. Chu smiled, feeling that her daughter seemed to be sensible overnight, she only had one daughter, so she was naturally pampered, although she had not developed a domineering temperament, but she had never thought about others when she encountered something. Now that he is thinking of sharing good things with others, the Chu family is very happy.

"Good, naturally good. Sister-in-law, bring the ginseng with you when you leave, this is Sister Bao'er's heart for her eldest brother. Wang's mouth was full of answers.

The two teased Xie Ke for a while, and Xie Ke's little face showed a tired look.

Wang thought that Xie Ke fell into the water, although there was no danger, but he was also injured, so he took his daughter Xie Yun to leave. The Chu family sent it to the Wang family, not only gave the Nanmu box to the Wang family, but also ordered the girl to take a few plants from her private library and give them to the Wang family. Wang shirked, but finally accepted it and left with Xie Yun smiling.

Xie Ke is really tired.

It is not only the body that is tired, but also the soul. Seeing Xie Ke's sad face, Chu Shi asked Xie Ke to lie down with a distressed face, and then lay down sideways next to Xie Ke, gently caressing Xie Ke's back with his hand, and humming an out of tune in his mouth.

Xie Ke shrunk in his mother's arms, and there was a faint fragrance on his mother's body between his nose.

What caught my ears was a familiar and unfamiliar tone...... Xie Ke closed his eyes hard.

With an indescribable thought, Xie Ke fell into a deep sleep. According to Shui Qing, after she fell asleep, people were sent to the second and third rooms. The Sun family in the second room was grounded, so he sent the henchman girl Bai Tao to ask, the third lady in the third room died early, the third master went out some time ago, and the big girl in charge of the steward in the third room, Qilu, came to visit in person. The Chu clan sent them away one by one, and in a blink of an eye, the lights were on, and this was the first night Xie Ke ushered in after waking up.
