Chapter 17: Mama Zhou's Decision
Chapter 17 Mama Zhou's decision
Only then did Liu Qingsu understand why Mama Zhou asked her to go back so abruptly.
When Liu Qingsu and Mama Zhou came out, Liu Qingsu couldn't care about the image anymore, sitting on the ground and panting heavily. The snake was terrible, especially the big flower snake with its snake core.
Mama Zhou was also so frightened that her face turned pale, but in the end, she was an elderly person who had gone through the storms, and she was not as out of shape as Liu Qingsu.
Liu Qingsu and Mama Zhou rested for a while and prepared to walk to Youranju, just a few steps Mama Zhou said: "Second girl, the rockery should have a mechanism, and it is likely that the mechanism is the stone I moved." But now that we have come out, we have not restored to the original state, and I am afraid that others will find out.
Liu Qingsu thought of this question as soon as Mama Zhou spoke. On the one hand, it was obvious that there were people in and out of it because of the big snake inside, and if he wanted to explore, he would definitely have to let the other party not know. On the other hand, he and Mama Zhou accidentally discovered that if the people next to him did not restore their original state, as long as they accidentally entered the rockery, they could easily find the courtyard they and Mama Zhou had discovered, and then it would not be as simple as scaring the snakes.
So Liu Qingsu and Mama Zhou hurriedly returned to the rockery mountain. However, Liu Qingsu still had lingering palpitations about the big snake he had just seen, so he hesitated when he came to him.
On the contrary, Mama Zhou has already recovered from this, and when she saw Liu Qingsu's appearance, she understood that Liu Qingsu was still afraid. I am a slave, and the second girl is the master, no matter what, I can't let Liu Qingsu be frightened again, otherwise this is injured and frightened, and the body will definitely not be able to stand it.
"Second girl, you are here to rest. The slave and maid carried the stone back. β
Liu Qingsu nodded.
Mama Zhou slowly moved the stone into the rockery, and there was a rumbling sound after a while. After a while, Mama Zhou came out.
Liu Qingsu let out a long breath. Today has given her a lot of shock. In the last life, I didn't hear that there was such a secret place in Liu's mansion. Maybe everyone in the Liu Mansion doesn't know. It is said that Liu's Mansion was originally the Yasukuni Mansion of the former dynasty, but later the Yasukuni Mansion rebelled, and all 324 people in the Manchu Mansion were wiped out. Everyone was afraid of being taboo, so even though this courtyard was still very good, no one wanted it, and then there were rumors that there were too many dead people in this house, and the yin qi was vigorous, and the sound of crying could often be heard. In this way, no one dares to ask for even the lowest price, so it has been deserted. Until the establishment of the new dynasty, the reshuffle of the capital, many good mansions were occupied by those who had opened the meritorious people, so it was the turn of the Liu Mansion to choose the house, and there was not much room for choice, and the scholarly family of the Liu Mansion, even if there were people who were officials in the previous dynasty, but in the end it was not the military attachΓ©'s family that had money, but the old way of Tianqingguan Zixu Zhenren had a relationship with the old lady of the Liu Mansion, and the Zixu Zhenren looked at the current Liu Mansion at the invitation of the old lady Zeng, and said that the yin qi is heavy, but your Liu family's yang qi can also be overpowered. And this house is faintly extravagant. So there is the current Liu Mansion.
Mama Zhou followed Liu Qingsu without saying a word. Liu Qingsu was in a state of mind at this time, and for a while there was a feeling that the cutting was still messy.
So he opened his mouth and asked Mama Zhou: "Mama Zhou, what do you think of the rockery today?" β
Mama Zhou said: "The slave maid doesn't dare to say anything, but it is not easy to look at the courtyard scenery in the rockery. The other slaves didn't have a clue. β
Liu Qingsu was also speechless for a while. She was also anxious, so she asked casually. There's a lot going on right now. My brother's affairs are worrying. Although the Bai Zhi given by the third aunt is of great benefit to my brother, it can't cure my brother's poison after all.
The Household Squire Mansion didn't know what was weird, and no one was sick, but he invited Dr. Zheng, who was commonly used in his own house.
Suddenly, Liu Qingsu said: "Mama Zhou, my brother's poisoning was first found out by Dr. Li, do you know?" β
Mama Zhou had heard about it from the Liu family a long time ago, so she naturally knew, so Mama Zhou said, "The old slave knows." β
"Then I'll tell Mama Zhou again, at first, I invited Dr. Zheng, who is often invited by the house, but when I asked, I said that I was invited by the Hubu Shilang Mansion." After speaking, Liu Qingsu was speechless, and Mama Zhou still looked indifferent.
"But I asked someone to inquire, and no one in the Hubu Shilang Mansion is sick, Mama Zhou, you are well-informed, can you help me think about what's going on?"
Mama Zhou might as well Liu Qingsu said such a thing to her, and her heart became nervous again. These two girls simply don't play cards according to common sense, and their thinking jumps very fast, so that people can't resist it for a while. Since no one in the Hubu Shilang Mansion is sick, it is either that the Hubu Shilang Mansion is weird, or Dr. Zheng is lying, but Dr. Zheng often treats the Liu Mansion and is basically a house doctor, so there is no need for Dr. Zheng to do this, but the possibility that Dr. Zheng is lying cannot be completely ruled out. But whether it is the Hubu Shilang Mansion or Dr. Zheng, she is not a slave of the Liu Mansion, and she can doubt it. I had to say, "The slave and maid can't figure it out." β
Liu Qingsu knew that there was either a problem with the Household Shilang Mansion or that Dr. Zheng was lying, or that someone deliberately wanted Dr. Li to be treated, because Dr. Li's appearance was too coincidental, even if the rumors in the market were heard by the house. And I remember that Dr. Li was not famous so early.
Liu Qingsu's answer to Mama Zhou did not report any great hope. From Mama Zhou's avoidance of remarks in the rockery before, she knew it. But she seems a little unwilling?
"With such a capable person as Mama Zhou by the side of the third aunt, the third aunt must have saved a lot of trouble."
Mama Zhou still said with a straight look: "Madame was originally a smart person. β
Liu Qingsu sighed lightly, this week's grandmother is not good at oil and salt, but the attendant grandmother beside the third aunt is unreasonable, how much can he expect.
Because the skirt was torn, it took a lot of time to pick up secluded places all the way. Originally, two quarters of an hour took more than half an hour.
When he arrived near Youranju, Liu Qingsu said: "There is Mama Lao Zhou, I will go in and have a cup of tea later." β
Mama Zhou had already seen Youran's heart and couldn't go back earlier, but Liu Qingsu said like this, and said busily: "Sending the second girl is a slave in itself, how can you have to work hard for the second girl." It's been a long time since I came out today, and the slave is afraid that my wife will worry. So I won't let the second girl break the bank. β
"How can that work? Looking back, people say that I am stingy, Mama Zhou didn't even have a glass of water when she sent me back, didn't Mama Zhou shame me? β
Mama Zhou had to continue to follow Liu Qingsu.
As soon as I entered the leisurely residence, I saw Zizhu walking out.
"Girl, how did you get this?" After speaking, he looked at Mama Zhou.
Mama Zhou is still as calm as an old monk, and her expression has not changed.
"It's okay, I accidentally stepped on the rocks on the side of the road because of the scenery."
Qingzhi helped Liu Qingsu into the house, "Mama Zhou followed the slave maid into the outside room to rest for a while." β
After a while, Qingzhi also came in.
"Zizhu, help me find clothes, and by the way, help me comb my hair. Qingzhi, you go out and make a cup of tea for Mama Zhou. β
Qingzhi was about to go out, and Liu Qingsu said again, "Let Mama Zhou wait for a while." β
Soon Liu Qingsu finished tidying up and walked out.
"Let Mama Zhou wait for a long time." Liu Qingsu said with a smile.
"The second girl is polite." Mama Zhou hurriedly got up.
"I don't know if Mama Zhou thinks I can still drink the tea here?"
Qingzhi is a clever one, Liu Qingsu specially asked Mama Zhou to make tea, and then took this good Junshan silver needle.
However, Mama Zhou looked uneasy when she saw the tea in the cup that was shaped like a broken bamboo shoot and stood upright like a silver knife. Now I heard Liu Qingsu ask like this, and hurriedly said: "The second girl's tea has a fresh aroma, light yellow color, and sweet taste. β
Liu Qingsu knew that Mama Zhou was extraordinary, but she didn't expect that she also knew tea. immediately said: "Mama Zhou, have you ever heard such a sentence? β
After speaking, Liu Qingsu looked at Mama Zhou, and Mama Zhou also stopped to listen to her.
"Excessive modesty is pride." Mama Zhou was even more uneasy after hearing this, and before Mama Zhou could speak, she said: "Of course, even if you are proud like Mama Zhou, you have capital. β
After hearing this, Mama Zhou hurriedly knelt down: "If the second girl has anything to say, just ask the slave maid, and the slave and maid must know everything." β
Liu Qingsu suddenly looked down and said, "That's good." Mama Zhou, let me ask you, the white zhi sent by the third aunt is the one you gave you. β
Mama Zhou was speechless for a long time. And Liu Qingsu has been staring at Mama Zhou.
After a while, Mama Zhou said, "It was the slave who mentioned it." β
Liu Qingsu said: "Very good. Then you should know pharmacology. So have you ever heard of this poison in the palace? Liu Qingsu was originally sick and rushed to the doctor, thinking that Mama Zhou came out of the palace and had extraordinary knowledge, so she wanted to inquire about Mama Zhou. Even if there is no result, Liu Qingsu will not be much disappointed. It's just that whenever there is a little possibility, Liu Qingsu wants to try. The palace is full of people, and Dr. Zheng also said that he had heard of this poison from Imperial Doctor Zheng. So maybe Mama Zhou can also know a little?
Liu Qingsu didn't know that her question was like thunder on the ground, and Mama Zhou was dizzy for a long time. She didn't even know that her question was crooked. She didn't know that her question made Mama Zhou decide to tell Liu Qingsu the secret that she hadn't completely confided in the Liu family.
"The slave maid heard that there is a flower that blooms at night in the courtyard of the second girl, the slave maid has never seen it, and now I have eaten the good tea of the second girl, and the slave maid is greedy and wants to feast her eyes." After Mama Zhou finished speaking, it was as if she had unloaded her burden.
Liu Qingsu said: "Then why not? The third aunt has always cared for our brothers and sisters, and even my grandmother feels very close. β
After speaking, he said to Mama Zhou: "Look at me, I really don't know the rules, how can I let Mama kneel?" β
Mama Zhou listened to Liu Qingsu's words and got up.
"Qingzhi, I'll give Mama Zhou a copy of the house I found for my grandmother's rheumatism."
Mama Zhou hurriedly said: "Thank you, second girl." "Most of the elderly people have a little rheumatism, especially those like her who come out of the palace, the palace rules are heavy, and they kneel at every turn, sometimes for several hours. A lot of people are basically useless because of this. The second girl's recipe is extremely rare.
Liu Qingsu said: "What is worth thanking me or not, I have always been very quiet, and my grandmother will be able to talk to me when she has time." Or take a look at the epiphany. β
