Chapter Ninety-Three: Expediency

(There are three watches tonight, this is the first watch, the pink ticket for the relatives.) )

After Yu Xiaoxiu was beaten, he started a fever, and the Ji family didn't even look for a doctor, Yu Shu was stared at by Ji Xiaogu and couldn't get out, so Aunt Liu avoided people and went to Changmenpu Street to invite He Fangzhi.

In the evening, He Langzhong followed Aunt Liu to the Ji family's miscellaneous hospital, because he had seen the seriously injured Yu Shu before, and later came to the door to diagnose and treat Zhao Hui, so he had a little understanding of the situation of Yu Shu's sister and brother.

Yu Shu didn't explain much about Yu Xiaoxiu's beating, asked Aunt Liu to guard the door, and bowed to He Fangzhi: "He Langzhong, Xiao Xiu and I are like this, we can't get out of the Ji family right now, but my Aunt Hui is still sick and only relies on neighbors to take care of her, I really can't rest assured, please take a trip, help me report to Aunt Hui for safety, and take care of her for me for the time being, Yu Shu is very grateful, and I will repay your kindness in the future." ”

He Fangzhi heard about Yu Shu, and knew that she had no relatives with Zhao Hui, but she was reluctant to give up in times of crisis, and she appreciated the child's affection and righteousness.

"Hurry up, I promise you."

Yu Shu didn't let He Fangzhi tell Zhao Hui that Yu Xiaoxiu had been beaten, so he only asked him to find an excuse to appease Zhao Hui, and took out the little silver left on his body as a gift, He Fangzhi refused to accept it, and Yu Shu had to only give him the consultation fee and medicine fee after the end.

"I am bothered to help me go to the main hall of the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce to deliver a message, saying that I can't go for a few days if I have something to do, and I will hand this over to Mr. Pei." Yu Shu took out the booklet that recorded the weather in his arms, tore up the two that recorded the weather in the last five days, folded them and handed them to He Fangzhi.

He Fangzhi didn't see what it was, so he accepted it, Aunt Liu sent him to leave through the back door and went to the hospital to grab medicine, Yu Shu wiped the sweat on Yu Xiaoxiu's neck with a hand towel, took the water basin out of the water bowl to change the water, and saw Qiu Xiang standing stupidly in the yard, and gave her the water basin after a pause.

"Go get a basin of water."

"Oh, oh."

Yu Shu turned back into the house, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the back of Yu Xiaoxiu's black and hazy head, the back of his hand was attached to his hot little face, Yu Xiaoxiu's head moved slightly, closer to her hand, he had a nightmare for an afternoon, intermittent babbling and moaning, and finally fell asleep peacefully at this time.

Yu Shu looked at the black finger circles on her fingers, thinking of Qing Zheng Daoren, her mood was very complicated, it happened suddenly, she didn't react at the time, and now she thinks quietly, she is in a situation today, didn't Qing Zheng calculate it?

I'm afraid he knew it in his heart, and he also added fuel to the fire, and sent her back to the Ji family by buying a red rope, otherwise Yiyang City is so big, why is Ji Xiaogu waiting for her in the Confucian Yi Pavilion.

Yu Shu didn't believe that Qing Zheng deliberately sent her into the tiger's mouth, but he did it, what was the reason, Yu Shu was not in the mood to investigate it for the time being, but she knew that it was impossible to rely on Qing Zheng to get out of trouble now, with Zhao Hui's life in danger, she was very sure that Qing Zheng would not show up again before this matter ended.

Then she has to find another way to get rid of the Ji family.

Before Aunt Liu came back from buying medicine, Ji Xiaogu sent someone to the miscellaneous courtyard to find Yu Shu, and Yu Shu left Qiu Xiang to take care of Yu Xiaoxiu and followed the comer.

A moment ago, it was still a mud-walled shack, the dim light was cold, and after wearing a few walls, he came to the place where the eaves and tiles, and the windows were bright and clean, Ji Xiaogu met Yu Shu in a dining room with a corridor in the west courtyard, and when she went, he was having dinner, holding the chopsticks of red bamboo strips between his fingers, and sending the dishes to his mouth, a table of dishes, red and verdant, and a plate of celadon from the lotus side was put on a plate, and a glance aroused appetite, and Yu Shu only felt sick in the stomach when he saw it.

She knew that Ji Xiaogu didn't think anything, in his eyes, the two of them were sisters and brothers, maybe just two dogs raised by the Ji family, because they gave a few meals and raised them for a while, they could be used to get angry, or they could be used as gifts.

Ji Xiaogu picked up the white silk towel at hand to wipe the oil on his mouth, took another sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, spit it in the spittoon at his feet, his mouth was refreshed, and then he looked up at Yu Shu, first looked at her face, and was very satisfied to see a little tame on her face that was not there during the day.

"Figured it out?"

"Figured it out."

"Okay," Ji Xiaogu smiled, his eyebrows were long and crooked, and his smile gave people a kind illusion:

"I know that you must hate me in your heart, but it doesn't matter, I won't be like you as a child, I see that you are a little smart, think about it and know that the Xue family is one of the best in the capital, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for you to be able to enter such a family. It's late today, you go back and sleep well, the Xue family has already come, tomorrow I will send someone to teach you the rules and etiquette you should have, you study well, maybe the day after tomorrow I will take you over to show people, no mistakes, this family business is ordered, but in case you play a slippery head, let our Ji family lose people, ruin this marriage, what is the end, I think you should be clear. ”

Yu Shu glanced up at Ji Xiaogu, with a straight face, and said in a sullen voice: "I will learn the rules well, I will also listen to your words, I won't run around, can you not let people stare at me and allow me to go out?" ”

Yu Shu's reaction was expected by Ji Xiaogu, as a successful businessman, he liked the feeling of taking people's emotions into his hands.

"No, before this family affair is made, you will stay in the house honestly."

Yu Shu frowned, anyone could see that she was dissatisfied now, Ji Xiaogu thought she would have a seizure, but she endured it, lowered her head, and said: "Then can you let Xiao Xiu live with me, he is very seriously injured, I don't worry that he is not in front of me, and Aunt Liu, she has always taken care of our sister and brother." ”

"Yes." This time Ji Xiaogu nodded generously, he needed Yu Shu to be honest and obedient, not to cause trouble for him, if he pressed too hard, the dog would jump off the wall if he was in a hurry.

"Xie Lu, Xie San." Yu Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she asked to go out under the guise of asking to go out, and what she really wanted Ji Xiaogu to agree to was to put the two of them together, instead of isolating them separately.

She hasn't planned how to get out of trouble yet, but one of the prerequisites for leaving the Ji family is that Yu Xiaoxiu is with her, without Yu Xiaoxiu, she can't go anywhere.

"Someone, send the young lady back."

Yu Shu was led out of the room, went down the steps, walked a few steps, and glanced back at Ji Xiaogu, who was looking up and drinking in the hall, with a sneer in his eyes.

And before getting out of trouble, she will give the Ji family an unforgettable lesson.

The Ji family took gifts to visit the annex early the next morning, and Xu Li met them face-to-face, but the eldest young master of the Xue family, who had a glimpse of last night, did not show up.

Ji Xiaochun asked, Xu Li only said that the eldest young master was still resting, and he didn't want to say more about the other half of the sentences, so he shifted the topic to the concubine who replaced Miss Ji's eight characters, and proposed to let them bring Yu Shu tomorrow and let the Yi master brought by the Xue family look at each other.

They are the two with the lowest fate, the cheap girl and the widowed woman are similar but different, the former is just their own life, but the latter has to restrain others, the Xue family will be so cautious, it is understandable.

Before leaving, Xu Li asked his subordinates to hold two gift boxes and gave them to Ji Xiaochun, saying that one was for Mrs. Ji and one for Miss Ji Si, Ji Xiaochun accepted it, went out and got into the carriage, opened it curiously, and gasped at that time.

What the Xue family gave to Ji Lao Taijun was a purple Ganoderma lucidum, with purple skin and black skin, and bright oil, such a quality of Zizhi has gone beyond the scope of medicinal herbs and can be called a treasure.

What was given to Ji Xingxuan was a picture scroll, Ji Xiaochun pulled the scroll, so that Ji Xiaogu shook it off, a picture of a spring orchid, and the name and seal on the inscription, even if Ji Xiaogu, who had seen too many treasures, couldn't help shaking.

Ma Xianling saw that the two brothers were out of shape, leaned over to look, and when he saw the payment, he shouted in surprise: "It's Mr. Jingmin's painting!" ”

What the Xue family sent must be genuine, Ma Tingxian caressed the scroll with fascination, and said enviously: "That is, people like the Xue family have such a handiwork." ”

The two brothers of the Ji family looked at each other, but the joy of receiving the gift was not as good as the fear born from the bottom of their hearts.

Ji Xiaogu looked at the two gifts spread out in front of him, and suddenly questioned his father's decision, in order to wait for the reaction of the Seventh Prince, he dragged the Xue family like this, one day in the future, even if they climbed to the imperial family, if the Xue family was angry, even if the Seven Princes were in the middle, would they really be able to afford it?

Last night, Yu Xiaoxiu was carried to the small courtyard where Yu Shu lives now, and Aunt Liu came with him.

The next morning, before Yu Xiaoxiu's fever subsided, the mother-in-law sent by Ji Xiaogu to teach Yu Shu the rules arrived, and there was also a tailor who came with him, Yu Shu was feeding Yu Xiaoxiu medicine, so he was dragged out of the body, pulled and tugged.

As soon as the tailor left, the mother-in-law surnamed Huang dragged Yu Shu's arm, frowned, looked at her back and forth, and found fault with her, as if buying vegetables and choosing pork, untied her hair, pinched her waist, and held her fingers to check the length of her nails.

Yu Shu didn't understand, so he didn't know that such a mother-in-law as Lu Dao was specially trained to teach concubines to big families, when Aunt Cui entered the Ji family, she was taught a lesson for a month, and when she had a look, she was allowed to wait for Ji Xiaogu to have the same room.

"Why is this hair so short, the mouth is dry, don't cross your legs when you stand, your legs are together, and your legs are together!"

Huang Pozi's shoes kicked Yu Shu on the tip of her toe a few times, and she forced her shoulder-to-shoulder step to correct into an inner eight.

Yu Shu looked at the woman's age, and didn't say anything harsh to her, silently recited a few words of "respect the old and love the young", and then closed her eyes and tossed by her.

"What's this wearing?" Mrs. Huang pinched the black finger ring on the index finger of Yu Shu's left hand, and was about to pull it down, Yu Shu looked at her for a long time, and did not stop it, and sure enough, the woman did not pull it out after a few strokes, so she gave up, and instead corrected other inappropriate places on her body.
