Chapter 287: Drugged
The old lady hadn't noticed anything wrong with the Li family at this time, but Liu Qingsu felt that the Li family's expression just now was strange.
Li Shi listened to the old lady's words, because his heart was weak, so he didn't know how to answer the old lady's words for a while, so he had to say: "Second sister-in-law, let's eat." After a while, the dish should be cold. ”
Because the dishes are always cold first and then hot, this will be because everyone has just sat down and only served cold dishes, and the hot dishes have not yet come up, where is the food that Li said is cold?
The old lady knew that her younger brother and sister were not good at lying, but this time she also looked at the Li family, but her spirit was a little weak, and it was probably because of the original unsuccessful brother-in-law. Now what Li said is obviously full of mistakes, and such clumsy words understand that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while. If Li hadn't realized that she had said the wrong thing at this time, then she could only say that she was indeed sick.
The old lady looked at Li's embarrassment, and also saw the unnaturalness of Li's daughter Mei Niang, although the old lady had no intention of embarrassing, but felt that it was better to figure things out.
So the old lady spoke: "I met a few ladies in the house before, and a few brothers didn't seem to be present at that time. I just said that the juniors don't know each other, but I forgot about my old bones, if I see the juniors at that time, but I don't know which one it is, it's not the same as making a big joke. ”
Li also knew that the old lady was giving her a step. If the old lady hadn't asked so much and had been waiting for her to say it, she really didn't know what to say.
So Li said: "The second sister-in-law said the same, let those juniors come to toast you in a while." ”
The old lady smiled and said, "Okay, good." It's just that I can't drink that much. ”
Li said: "How can you really let you drink, you just drink a few more cups of tea." ”
Because there were originally two of them who were not from Liu's house, and the Li family didn't say anything for a while, Liu Yuanyi and Liu Yuanrui did not arrange a table with the group of sons in the ancestral house. Liu Yuanyi and Liu Yuanrui were arranged to sit at a table with several uncles. And the old lady always thought that it was because the juniors couldn't sit down at the table, although she felt that it was a little unreasonable, but the ancestral house was not large, and the population was large, so she thought that maybe it was just a way to adapt measures to local conditions.
At this time, the conversation between the old lady and the Li family was noticed, and everyone sensed that something was wrong.
Liu Qingsu's table, in addition to the four Liu Qingsu sisters, there are also four girls from the ancestral house. After Li finished speaking, when the juniors were toasting the old lady, the little girls began to whisper on the side.
And Liu Qingsu didn't hear very clearly because he was still sitting some distance away from them.
The old lady began to eat after it was over, and it was over soon.
The old lady took Liu Qingsu and a few people back to the Lingtong Courtyard, so she asked Liu Qingsu and the others to follow them to the middle wing room to talk.
When everyone arrived in the middle wing, the old lady ordered them to sit down, and then the old lady sighed and said, "Your uncle and grandmother are old, and their temperament is already softer. Now he is swayed by his daughter. The ancestral house was originally not large. There are many times when it comes to male and female defense, but the brothers and sisters of the family don't have so many scruples, but unfortunately a few days before we arrived, two sons from other mansions came, so let's try to stay here in the psychic courtyard these days.
If it was before, Liu Yunxiang was still a little reluctant. After all, she is a fun-loving boister. But just now when they were eating, although there were a few girls from the ancestral house on the table, they looked at them enthusiastically. But it's more about exclusion. Liu Yunxiang also felt that this ancestral house was boring.
So when the old lady finished speaking, everyone nodded.
Liu Qingsu was not familiar with this place, and he might not come here again in the future, so he didn't care much about everything.
After Liu Qingsu and the others left, the old lady said to Grandma Sun: "Got it?" ”
Mama Sun said, "The medicine has gone down." Several young ladies drank it just now, and I don't think there is anything unusual about Miss Five. ”
The old lady said, "I didn't plan to do it so early, but now I'm afraid that I will have a lot of dreams at night." That medicine was activated in two days, right? ”
Grandma Sun nodded and said, "That's true." ”
After the old lady finished speaking, she said to Grandma Sun: "Let's pack up our things earlier, that is, the work of the past two days." ”
Grandma Sun nodded.
It turned out that after the old lady knew the real situation, she quietly instructed Grandma Sun to start the original plan in a while. So when the old lady brought Liu Qingsu and them to talk, she asked Grandma Sun to put away the prepared medicine, and Liu Anzhen had already drunk it at this time, as long as Liu Anzhen was optimistic about it in the past two days.
Wait until tomorrow to greet Brother Li's brother first, and officially resign the day after tomorrow.
So the next day, the old lady asked Liu Qingsu and a few people to come over to talk together, and then let Liu Anzhen accompany Liu Qingsu when they left.
Once or twice, do you think it's still an accident, after a long time, Liu Yunxiang also feels that something is wrong.
Liu Yunxiang was talking to Liu Lingzhi at this time: "Third sister, you said that since your grandmother said that day she has let her fifth sister be by her side every day, is it true that grandmother is actually the fifth sister who is most worried?" ”
Liu Lingzhi felt that these conjectures were not easy to say out of thin air, so he did not answer them in time.
At this time, Liu Yunxiang was ready to continue grinding and let Liu Lingzhi talk about it, Liu Lingzhi got up and walked out. Liu Yunxiang also heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, so she also walked out, only to find that it was Liu Anzhen who came.
Liu Yunxiang didn't know what she said just now, did Liu Anzhen hear it. Although they haven't spoken since the last time they had an unpleasant quarrel, it's extremely bad if they are caught talking badly about others.
Liu Anzhen did hear Liu Yunxiang's words from time to time, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a loud noise even if she came over.
"What did the third sister and the fourth sister say just now?"
Liu Lingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's nothing, just talk about it." ”
Liu Yunxiang also hurriedly complied and said, "Yes, yes, just say it." ”
Liu Anzhen didn't plan to end. The old lady's words just now gave her a reassurance. The old lady said that this time she came to the ancestral house to see the place in her original memory, and now the more she looks at things and people, the more sad she becomes, so she will take them back in a few days, of course, they also include Liu Anzhen herself. Therefore, Liu Anzhen was wrong for the old lady who was worried about her to send her to the ancestral house.
"Why do I seem to be listening to what the two sisters are talking about me just now?"
Liu Yunxiang listened to Liu Anzhen's words and looked at Liu Lingzhi with some help, Liu Lingzhi said: "I was talking to the fourth sister just now, and the fifth sister, you have been talking a lot less recently. ”
Originally, Liu Anzhen still wanted to talk about it, but just now she thought that if the old lady suddenly had the idea of leaving her behind, she would be very bad for her. Especially the ancestral house is really far behind. Several girls in the ancestral house are xenophobic towards them, but they are just jealous of the girls in the ancestral house. In addition, when they first came to the mansion, the meeting gift given by the Li family and the old lady suddenly made the ancestral house and the Liu Mansion in the capital stand on a higher level. For Liu Anzhen, she really didn't want to stay.
So Liu Anzhen doesn't want to poke it anymore even if she knows that it is Liu Lingzhi who is talking nonsense. So the three of them said a few things casually, and the others went their separate ways.
On the afternoon of this day, Liu Anzhen suddenly felt unwell and felt tired, and at first thought that she had not rested well. So Liu Anzhen said to Grandma Sun, who came to let her speak in the middle wing: "Grandma Sun, I hope to accuse my grandmother on my behalf." ”
The purpose of Grandma Sun's original visit was not simple, it was Peilan Vanilla who passed the word on weekdays. Grandma Sun is here to find out the situation. So at this moment, listening to Liu Anzhen's words, he made a concerned look and said, "Miss Fifth is okay, right?" ”
Liu Anzhen said: "It should be fine." Xu was a little cold last night. ”
Mama Sun said: "Then the old slave will go and report to the old lady and ask the old lady to hire a doctor for you." ”
After Mama Sun finished speaking, she left.
The old lady in the middle wing saw Grandma Sun coming over and said, "How is it?" ”
Mama Sun said: "It has worked. Miss Wu didn't suspect it, and said that she had a cold yesterday. The slave was afraid that the fifth lady would be suspicious, so she said that she wanted to give the old lady, and you would ask her a doctor again. ”
The old lady said: "You will let someone boil a bowl of ginger soup in a while, saying that the doctor will temporarily go to another place for medical treatment today." It won't be able to pass for a while. Then don't tell anyone else about the news. ”
Grandma Sun nodded.
"It's time for us to say goodbye."
So the old lady and grandma Sun went to the Li family.
"The second sister-in-law is leaving?"
Li Shi felt very sudden after hearing the old lady's explanation. She knew the old lady's intentions. But thinking that it is not easy for the old lady to travel far away at this age, she must stay for a while longer. I didn't expect to make such a sudden decision to go back.
Before the old lady could speak, Li continued: "The second sister-in-law has not been here for a few days, why is she in such a hurry to leave? ”
In fact, Li was so anxious and unexpected, he was still a little afraid that the old lady would be angry because of her concealment that day. Because now the ancestral house is completely dependent on the Liu Mansion in the capital.
After listening to Li's successive questions, the old lady said: "Originally, I came back this time to see, but you also know that your second brother is gone, and I always feel like I can't sleep in this place." And my daughters-in-law also have to protect each other. There are a lot of things going on in the capital, and I don't know what this will look like. I'm worried about Kyori here, so I thought it would be better to go back sooner. ”
Li knew that the old lady and Liu Qingsu's grandfather had a very close relationship, and he was also envious at the beginning. So I also understand the old lady, otherwise I wouldn't have specially cleaned up the Lingtong Courtyard.
Li said at this time: "It's also that I didn't think about it thoughtfully, and I already knew to clean up other places for my second sister-in-law." ”
The old lady said, "Where, I know your heart." If you clean up other places for me, maybe I'll have to make a fuss when I come. It's that I can't get over this hurdle on my own. ”
The old lady saw that the Li family still looked like they wanted to stay, and she also knew that many of them were also thinking about it this time, for example, there were suddenly more faces in this ancestral house.
But the old lady came to the ancestral house not simply to revisit the old place, so the old lady said: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I don't know when the next time we will see each other." Originally, I thought that our concubine would have more time to talk, but the eldest princess of Yushan also said that the marriage of this girl in Kaichun Qingsu would continue to be ritualized, so I have to go back to see what. ”
When Li heard this, even if he wanted to dissuade him, he had nothing to say. In the eyes of these people in the ancestral house, Liu Qingsu's marriage is a very important thing in the Liu Mansion.
So Li said: "That being the case, I don't want to stay long." ”
After hearing this, the old lady hurriedly continued: "If you have the opportunity, you can also go around the capital, and it is not very far. I also see that your daughter-in-law is still reliable, and you can turn around with confidence. ”
Li said: "If you have the chance, you must go." ”
The old lady said, "We made a lot of fanfare when we came, and I thought that I would give you an explanation in person when I left tomorrow." ”
After listening to the old lady's words, Li also knew that the old lady did not say such a sentence for no reason, and also asked her not to tell them about going back for the time being. Li also knew that once he knew that the old lady would return tomorrow, it was estimated that the old lady would not think about An Sheng this afternoon.
After the old lady finished talking to the Li family, she returned to the Lingtong Courtyard.
Grandma Sun also hurriedly ordered to boil ginger soup.
The old lady said to Grandma Sun: "Grandma, do you still know the road in Sanqing County?" ”
Mama Sun said: "There is no change in Sanqing County. ”
The old lady said: "We are going to leave soon, you go to the Huibin Building to buy some almond crisp and come back, and by the way, tell the doctor in the city that if the Liu Mansion invites the doctor for a while, he will say that he has no time to come, as long as he can come over after dinner tomorrow." ”
Grandma Sun nodded.
Because the old lady came back with the pastries, no one thought of anything else. And Pei Lan had already replaced Grandma Sun at this time to the place where Liu Anzhen lived.
"Fifth Miss, Grandma Sun has already listened to the old lady's instructions and said that she was going to invite a doctor for you, and the old lady was afraid that you would be very uncomfortable, so she asked the slaves and maids to boil a bowl of ginger soup for you, you drink it while it is hot, and see if it can be better."
Liu Anzhen doesn't like to drink ginger soup the most, and she can't drink it at all. So after listening to Pei Lan say that he had already invited a doctor, he said, "I still don't drink ginger soup, I can't drink it." ”
Pei Lan said: "Miss Five, drink a little, it will be better for the body." ”
Liu Anzhen shook her head as she listened to Pei Lan's continued persuasion.
So Pei Lan said: "I'll put the ginger soup here, if the fifth lady feels uncomfortable, let Mama Hu warm it up." ”
Liu Anzhen heard that she didn't need to drink it, and hurriedly said, "Okay, thank you Sister Peilan." ”
And not long after Mama Sun bought the pastries, she went to Li's place alone. (To be continued......)
