Chapter 144: Entrustment
The door of the main house is pasted on the door, the air is hung under the eaves, the mother-in-law and the maids are dressed plainly, seeing Zhang Shun's family coming over and smiling inside, Caidie greeted the door and smiled, "Our side is unlucky, and no one dares to come in." ”
Zhang Shunjia smiled slightly, "The eldest son of our family is also unlucky, but I'm not afraid." After saying this, he smiled and said, "The eldest prince sent a slave and maid to ask Mrs. for peace, and there are a few books for Mrs. to see." ”
The room is very warm, there is a charcoal brazier on the ground, window flowers are also pasted on the Korean paper, the small casserole is fried with medicinal soup, adding a bit of desolate taste, Qi's face is haggard and half lying on the kang, Brother Jin is lying wilted beside Qi's, the flesh on his thin little face is gone, Qi struggles to sit up and let him sit, Zhang Shun's family sat down on the edge of the kang, the little maid handed over a few books, Qi took a look, "What account does the eldest prince want me to see, I don't have the energy." ”
"It's a few shops that the lady gave to the eldest son, and the eldest prince sent someone to accept it, and also counted the profits, left one for the third son, and one for the eighth lady, counting it as our eldest son's gift to the younger brothers and sisters, and there are a few things to play here for the third son."
Brother Jin got up and asked, "Where is my brother?" Why didn't my brother come, and my second sister didn't come home. ”
Qi coaxed him with words, "Isn't Brother Jin going to give my brother a few gifts, you go to the back to pick a few first, and then draw a picture for your brother, and let Sister-in-law Zhang take it back later." ”
The nurse went down with Brother Jin, Caidie looked through the account book, and her expression was a little complicated, "The eldest prince divided the more than 5,000 silver collected into several parts, and left 1,000 taels of silver for the fifth and eighth misses, and the eldest prince kept less than 500 taels for himself, and the remaining 3,000 taels bought two shops, both of which were hung in the name of the third prince. ”
As he spoke, he reported the income details of each shop, and Qi was speechless when he heard it.
Zhang Shunjia hurriedly smiled, "Our eldest son said, the second lady is good to him for nothing else, just for him to call the second miss a sister, the third son also calls him a brother, they are all close relatives, money is a trivial matter, the fifth lady's dowry is the most important thing at the moment, the lady just sent the second miss is not rich, the eldest prince is the master of the fifth miss to keep a copy, the eighth miss is still young now, when she grows up, the sisters will also make up a beautiful dowry, the third son grows up to inherit the Hou Mansion, Our brother will help take care of these chores first, and then hand them over to him when the third son can support the portal. ”
Qi Shi took her hand and wept, "Let me say something, I can only be a cow and a horse, and I will repay him in the next life." ”
Zhang Shun's family hurriedly said, "The eldest prince is afraid that the lady will say this, the eldest prince wants to take the fifth lady out to live for a few days, the aunt just came to our side to sit for a while, saying that the second miss is homesick and can't come back, the eldest prince wants to let their sisters meet, the slave just begged the old lady to agree, come and talk to the lady." ”
Qi Shi was a little puzzled, "How could the old lady agree." ”
"Madam, don't take anything you hear, it's all an excuse made by the eldest prince, the eldest prince asked the slave maid and the old lady to say, just say that the eldest prince will play at our house in the first month, and the old lady took it seriously, so she promised to let the fifth lady pass."
Qi Shi covered his mouth with a handkerchief and coughed violently, Cai Die hurriedly came over to slap it, and Zhang Shun's family also stood up and handed over a cup of tea to help serve, "Madame, rest assured, these are not true, they are an excuse made by the slave maid." ”
Qi Shi smiled miserably, "I understand, it's just that her grandmother's eyes are staring at the palace, and her second sister will not be able to speak if she has a stepmother in the future, and it is also a glory for the daughter of someone like us to fill the court, only pity my Qin'er, I can live for two more years and still fight, I can't do anything at the moment, there is one more thing in my heart, I wanted to wait for Brother Shen to come and talk to him in person, but when I thought that Aunt Zhou was gone, my heart was even more unpleasant, the big mistake has been made, I really have no face to see Brother Shen for a little selfishness." ”
Zhang Shunjia smiled slightly, "Madam refers to the person who assassinated the third prince and fell into the water." ”
Qi Shi looked at her calm appearance and didn't know what was wrong, "I know that it wasn't Zhou Yunfeng's brother Jin'er, and I didn't want to talk to Hou Ye, and it was also because I hated Zhou Yunfeng in my heart, I only said that she should leave me far away from here and go to the temple to chant the scriptures in peace, who knew that there was such a flying disaster, I'm sorry Brother Shen." ”
Zhang Shunjia hurriedly said, "Mrs. must not blame herself for this matter, our eldest son already knew, and also said that it was time to ask Aunt Zhou to recite the scriptures, it was an accident that happened like that, and Aunt Zhou's life was not good, the eldest prince has also been tortured by Aunt Zhou in recent years, and she occupies the status of the biological mother, and because of the incident that year out of the house, she hates the eldest prince in her heart, and now she is gone, the eldest prince has done a funeral for her, and it is also considered the love of mother and son." ”
Qi's eyes lit up, and then dimmed, and he held her hand for a long time without speaking.
Zhang Shunjia hurriedly smiled and comforted, "Madame's recuperation is important, don't worry about those idle things, just think about those good ones, our second miss married well, my uncle felt sorry for her, and said that he would not accept concubines, our eldest son is also promising, and the eldest son of the fifth lady's relatives can also help say a few words, and the aunt and grandmother can say a few more words to help the fifth miss choose a good family." ”
Qi smiled with tears in his eyes, "I hope it will be good." ”
Ordered Caidie to bring Miss Eight over, Caidie hurried out, didn't do much effort and hugged Miss Eight in, the little girl just woke up, rubbed her eyes with a small fist, and opened her two little hands to hug when she saw her mother, Qi took her little daughter in her arms and looked at it and kissed and kissed, tears flowed down, Zhang Shun's family looked at Caidie, and Caidie also turned her back to wipe her tears.
The little girl was scared and cried, she was just one year old, and she understood a little, Qi wiped her tears and coaxed her, and patted the edge of the kang to let Zhang Shunjia sit down, and said slowly, "I'm so sick that I can't take care of those idle things, Brother Jin'er's illness is not good, I also have to take care of Brother Jin'er, and I can't take care of this girl, I thought that when Tan'er came over in the first month, I would entrust this girl to her, who knew that even the red note would not be allowed in." ”
Qi laughed self-deprecatingly, "You help me take Miss Eight out and hand it over to Miss Two, just say what I said, let her raise the baby with peace of mind, don't think about our side, and don't send someone over, so as not to humiliate herself, I am still a lady, and these people are serving, and they don't dare to treat me slowly, and they don't dare to deduct what they eat, so let them make a fuss in the house, and see how long they are proud." ”
Zhang Shunjia hurriedly stood up and agreed, "The slave and maid will send a letter to the second lady when they go back, and the second lady has something to do, and the slave and maid came to pass the word, and the slave and maid didn't expect this, but they didn't even care about their faces." ”
Qi is no longer angry, and called the nurse to entrust her, so that she listens to the second lady in everything, the nurse knelt down and kowtowed to show her loyalty, the maid packed out a bag of commonly used clothes, and a few mothers-in-law and maids hugged Yuqin during the conversation, Yuqin was dressed up in a fancy way, and saw the mother's tears around the eyes, but refused to fall, Qi looked at her daughter and smiled, the smile was even more ugly than crying, and she refused to say anything, for fear of holding back the surging tears.
Brother Jin heard the movement and wanted to come over, his nurse couldn't resist him, so he had to take him out, Brother Jin'er was a child, he didn't understand how sick his mother was, when he saw that the fifth sister was also leaving, and the eighth sister was also going to go to his brother's side, he was so angry that he cried, he also wanted to go to where his brother played, Caidie hurriedly coaxed him, Brother Jin pulled Zhang Shun's family and didn't let go, "I miss my brother, woo." ”
Qi Shi was ruthless, "Take Brother Jin away, I can't take care of him anymore." ”
After Qi finished speaking, he turned over and lay inside, covered his face with the quilt again, shook his body under the quilt, Yuqin covered his face and cried, Brother Jin also cried, it seemed that he understood a little, and cried and shouted again, Caidie picked up Brother Jin and handed it to Zhang Shun's family, and wiped a handful of tears, "Mrs. entrusted the third prince to the eldest son." ”
It's getting dark, and you can't delay any longer, the group went out of the house, Caidie was busy calling two more cars, assigned a few to follow the car, and explained that a few mothers-in-law who followed should take good care of it, Zhang Shun's family hugged Brother Jin, the nurse held Miss Eight, the two children only felt fresh and interesting, Brother Jin's illness was not yet well, wilted and leaned on Zhang Shunjia's arms, Miss Eight smiled happily, pulled the tassel on the sedan curtain with her little fat hand, Yuqin just sat in the car without saying a word.
There was already a mother-in-law who ran back to report the news first, Brother Shen didn't expect his younger brothers and sisters to come over, he barely got up, and hurriedly asked Yufang to help arrange, his house is spacious, and there are several empty courtyards, but they haven't been repaired, and it's too late to clean up, so he asked the maid to carry Brother Jin to his bed first, and then let the fifth sister sit quickly, Yuqin sat there motionless like a puppet, Brother Shen shouted several times, Yuqin suddenly cried.
When Miss Eight arrived at the fresh house, she looked around happily, and suddenly heard her sister crying, so she ran over, looked up at her sister, and babbled in her mouth, very anxious little appearance, Brother Jin was also scared to cry, pulled her brother and asked what was wrong with the fifth sister, Brother Shen also had red eyes, and Yufang took Yuqin into her arms and shed tears.
Zhang Shunjia smiled reluctantly, "Madame sent Miss Eight and the Third Prince to come over to live for a few days, and then go back when Madame is well, Miss Fifth can just live in peace, and when tomorrow dawns, the slave maid will send a letter to her aunt, and Grandma will also miss Miss Five." ”
Yuqin raised his head and asked Brother Shen, "Aren't you going to give me to the eldest prince?" Let me meet with my second sister, my second sister can get around you. ”
Brother Shen smiled, "Fifth sister, you are so smart, you don't know that this is an excuse I made, tomorrow the second sister will come over, and the fifth sister is not allowed to provoke her to cry." ”
Yuqin laughed and cried again. R1152
