Chapter Eighty-Nine: Sister Hui's Benefits
Since she knew that Chu Jinli had privately taken 10,000 taels of silver for the sake of a pair of plays, she had considered the feasibility of Brother Xuan'er's matter, and then saw that Qiao's degree of custody of Sister Yan'er was even more affirmative of her intention to form an alliance with Qiao's.
Because this matter has to be done by Qiao's family, the old lady can rest assured that Brother Xuan will be driven out of the house. She negotiated a deal with Qiao's again, and the old lady must have asked him to fend for himself without the protection of his family, and then Qiao's came forward to find a reliable gentleman to make arrangements for a good life in the name of Anning Houfu.
This not only solves the problem of Brother Xuan's study, but also temporarily sends him to a safe place, because it is difficult to guarantee that one day the Li aunt and nephew will not want to get rid of him when they think of him. She can't guarantee that she'll be able to see it all the time. When she got outside, it was not impossible to ask the third prince to send someone to secretly protect her, and even Changjing was convenient for her to send out to protect herself.
"Yes, my grandmother wants to send her grandson on a study trip, and that's a very high-sounding reason." Sister Hui had never said such harsh words in front of these maids.
As soon as he said this, Moshu consciously lowered his head, and the other three people did not change their faces, either looking at Sister Hui'er, or doing what they were doing without moving.
Sister Hui thought about it secretly, but quickly put it aside, turned to Qiu Ju and said, "You and Mother Wang go and take a look, choose two proper maids for Brother Xuan, and report them to the third aunt together." ”
Qiu Ju lowered her head and responded.
The next day, Sister Hui'er's illness was very good, her forehead was no longer hot, she got up early in the morning, sat in the backyard and drank half a bowl of orange juice millet porridge in the cool breeze of the summer morning, sweated, called the ink painting to freshen up, and then got up and went to Shoukangtang.
Despite the delay, she was the first to go to ask for peace this morning.
"You woke up early today, are you feeling better?" Mother Zhao was combing the old lady's hair, and her hair was full of green silk like silk, which was more suitable for the old lady's half bowl of blood ginseng soup every morning.
"Thank you grandmother for her care, my granddaughter is already well, but my grandmother has always been healthy, and her granddaughter is envious of her full of green hair."
Proper maintenance has always been a very proud thing for the old lady, and her face was even softer: "You are still young, but this recipe is not suitable for use, and you can use it for many years after you get it." ”
Sister Hui immediately squatted down with a smile on her face: "Thank you grandmother for the reward." ”
"By the way, yesterday, your sixth aunt sent someone to report that the county lord of Tongyu gave the county lord of Cangwu, married King Jing as a side concubine, and got married in autumn. Although there are still two months, Keli has to be prepared, if you want to buy anything, just come and tell Zhao's mother. ”
Sister Hui'er's expression was pleasantly surprised, and she was immediately a blessing: "Grandmother has thought carefully about her granddaughter, and there is nothing to worry about." ”
The old lady also pursed her lips and smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
After that, the old lady talked to her a lot, from eating and dressing, to going out and walking afterwards, she arranged for her, if she didn't know that she really thought they were grandparents.
But Sister Hui knows that the old lady always has to say. Sure enough, it was not until there was still a quarter of an hour before Xiao Li's family came to ask for peace, and then he said casually: "Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, Brother Xuan is also old, should go out and see more, the boy's family doesn't have to be too pampered, I think I will send him to the academy in Jiangnan to study, as for which family to ask your third uncle's opinion, I don't understand." ”
Sister Hui'er's expression that had been smiling suddenly stiffened, her face was like earth, and it took a long time for Ai Ai to ask: "Grandmother, Brother Xuan has always been polite and obedient, although I have not had much contact with him, but I am also a compatriot, and I always want to take care of him when my mother is not there." ”
After speaking, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
This is not acting, in fact, there is no way to send Brother Xuan away, mentioning that her sister and brother will not be able to see each other in the future, her heart is also unbearable, and there will really be no relatives in this house in the future.
"This matter has been decided, you are still young, how do you know your grandmother's hard work, in the future, Brother Xuan will come out, and you, who are sisters, also have a backer." The old lady saw everything in her eyes, and her reaction to her was expected, so she rarely said a soft word to coax her.
Sister Hui didn't speak, just sat aside with red eyes, silent.
Soon Xiao Li entered the door and saw Sister Hui'er's appearance, and knew that the old lady must have told Sister Hui about Brother Xuan'er, and immediately the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, the lotus step was easy, her waist was slightly twisted, and she walked to the old lady's side, and chose a jade and gold-inlaid peony hairpin to insert it into the end of the old lady's hair.
Taking advantage of the old lady's happiness, she said: "Mother, I think the third sister-in-law's proposal this time is selfish, saying that it is to let the people of Jinyuan go, in fact, I am afraid that she will take advantage of this opportunity to cut expenses to send the three concubines in her yard out, but Brother Xuan, at a young age, she immediately covered her mouth in panic before she finished speaking, and looked at Sister Hui several times.
Sister Hui raised her head suddenly, looked straight at Xiao Li, and opened her mouth several times to speak, but she seemed to press down because she didn't dare. In her heart, she gave Xiao Li a thumbs up, in addition to hugging the old lady's legs, she also learned to sow discord, although she was not clever, but if there was no agreement between Qiao's and her before, then this time she would definitely hate Qiao's in her heart.
"Well, it's okay to send it out, the yard is clean." The old lady replied casually.
The old lady's heart was another abacus, although Qiao didn't mention it, but by the way, she helped her send out all those concubines, which can be regarded as a grace to her that day without biting the fourth child.
Xiao Li felt uncomfortable in her heart, and was about to mention a way to send the maids in her yard out, but was interrupted by the old lady: "The girls in our family have to be pampered." ”
Xiao Li gritted his silver teeth and didn't dare to say the next sentence.
When everyone came to ask for peace one after another, Sister Hui has been cowardly and can't lift her spirits, and others think that her condition has not healed and understands.
Sister Jing also whispered to her in private: "You can't do this, why don't you tell your grandmother about it and cultivate for a few more days." ”
"Well, I'm afraid it has to be like this." Sister Hui held her forehead and nodded in response.
When everyone left, Sister Hui also quit the old lady early and returned to live leisurely.
When he returned to his room, he sent everyone to sleep on their own, and in the evening he called a doctor to come and see him.
Qiu Ju understood Sister Hui'er's abacus, so she asked the doctor why Sister Hui was pale and energetic, but the typhoid fever had not yet recovered.
The doctor naturally nodded repeatedly, and then reprimanded Qiu Ju and the others: "Miss, this illness is very important, how can you go out to blow the wind and get cold if you don't have a good thoroughness, these days it is good to stay and recuperate." ”
So he took the opportunity to let Zhou's mother go to Shoukang Hall to talk back to the old lady.
"I'm afraid she's dissatisfied with my arrangement for Brother Xuan'er, let her go." The old lady waved her hand and said to Zhou's mother.
Mother Zhou digested these words by herself, and when she went back, she changed her words: "Third Miss, the old lady told you to have a good life, and if you lack anything, just mention it." ”
Although Zhou's mother is lazy, her mind has always been active, and this is not bad, Sister Hui also knows that the old lady will not tear her face with her now, so she naturally has to stop in moderation, lying on the bed and nodded, and struggled to get up: "Mom went to kowtow to the old lady, it was her granddaughter's unfilial piety, which made her worried." ”
"Hey." Zhou's mother was overjoyed, turned around and went out, it was naturally excellent not to be caught in the middle of the errand.
