Chapter Seventy-Four: Gone
Zhen Yan took Zhende from his servant and trotted back to the house. The maids had already warmed the house, and they were all a little panicked when they saw Zhende's sick appearance.
Duan stumbled a few steps when he saw Zhende's appearance at first glance, but fortunately Zhenlin was supporting, she waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, this family is in chaos, if I am sad again, what can your brother do?" Four girls, you let Zhenhui go back to the house, warm up well, and get sick again, where are so many people waiting. ”
Zhen Lin sighed, transferred Duan's words to Zhen Hui, who was standing outside the house, and added two more sentences: "Aunt Chen and Tenth Sister are afraid that they haven't slept either, you go and say hello and let them rest too." ”
Duan looked at Mr. He's pulse, prescribed a prescription, called Jinhong over and asked a few words, and sighed: "What a sin!" ”
Jinhong replied, her heart was still up and down, although the person was punished by Mrs. Ma, she also took more care of Duan's wishes, but Zhende was frightened and weaker, so she was so sick, and when she looked back at the masters, she didn't have any benefits.
Waiting for Mr. He to blow the recipe, Jinhong hurriedly took it and went to grab the decoction in person.
The Duan family handed over Zhende to Zhen Yan to take care of, and went to find the Zhou family.
When I arrived at the main hall, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang were also there. Mrs. Ma wasn't there, but Duan's estimated that she should be awake, but she didn't want to come out.
Duan Shi smiled: "Two uncles, you are really ...... to quarrel with you."
"I'm old, and I sleep lightly, but I don't blame you." Mrs. Li glanced at Westinghouse and said, "I don't know if I don't make noise, but I haven't suppressed the heat." ”
Zhen Xuan stood on the side, holding Mrs. Li's hand. Waiting for Zhou to speak.
Zhou's face was full of tiredness, and his eyes were dark. I didn't have time to cover some powder, and I looked a few years older than usual.
"That Mother Ruan is dead."
Zhou's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, so shocked that the people in the room couldn't react, and only one person whispered in a low voice: "...... is dead."
Zhen Xuan was also stunned, and when she asked Zhou in the afternoon, she had a guess, saying that Ruan's mother might have hid or sneaked out of the city for fear of punishment, and she was afraid that she would not find it for a while, but she didn't expect it. He was already dead.
Zhen Xuan looked at the Zhou family and asked, "Sixth uncle, how did Mother Ruan die?" ”
Zhou straightened out his thoughts and told the matter from head to toe.
In the afternoon. Zhou thought that Ruan's mother had probably taken advantage of the chaos to get out of Qingrong Hall. I carefully inquired about the concierge and knew that the person was not out of Pei's house, so he transferred people. Every house and every house and courtyard must find the people.
During the second watch, Zhou was called up by a housekeeper and said that he had found it, in an old room in the original four-room Qinghe Hall.
Zhou's heart said that it was indeed a place to hide, and it had been vacant for many years. On weekdays, no one will go at all, so I am in a hurry to ask the housekeeper to bring people up.
The lady's face darkened. Attached to the ear and Zhou's said: "I took the belt and hung the beam, and when I found it, I had already lost my breath." ”
When Zhou heard this, his face also sank, what was the death of someone, so he hurried to Qingrong Hall, but when he knocked on the door, he met Zhende and several people who were sent back.
This kind of thing, it is not the turn of a junior like Zhen Xuan to express any opinions, so he can only listen with his head down, but some calculations in his heart are always indispensable.
When something happened to several masters, Ruan's mother couldn't escape the blame, and it was not difficult to explain that she ran out of Qingrong Hall in a panic. The concierge was very strict because of the last time Mrs. Zhang made a big fuss, and there must be a certificate to enter and exit, Ruan's mother couldn't go out, and she didn't dare to meet people, so it was not surprising that she went to Qinghetang more and more.
But why the cantilevers?
Ruan's mother ran away, didn't she just want to avoid punishment? Isn't it a contradiction to choose death?
I really can't hide, come back and kowtow to apologize, as long as Zhen Heng and Zhen Xun can get better, even if Ruan's mother can no longer be Zhen Xun's nurse, she begged the wives to give her a rough job, why commit suicide?
Zhen Xuan secretly looked at the faces of the people in the house, since she could think of these things, these old ladies and wives naturally thought of it, why didn't anyone say anything?
After looking at it carefully, Zhen Xuan noticed Mrs. Jiang's gloomy face, and her heart was shocked, secretly saying that no matter how many years have passed, when she hears Qinghetang, Mrs. Jiang's heart always has a pimple.
Mrs. Jiang also understood the thoughts of others, and knew that they were waiting for her to speak, so she asked gloomily: "Did you really hang yourself up?" ”
Zhou's face turned white and said, "What does the fourth uncle mean by this?" The niece and daughter-in-law didn't understand. If it weren't for Ruan's mother who hung it herself, who would have such a deep hatred with her and want to kill her? ”
Ruan's mother came back with the second room, and she has no relatives and no reason in Yongzhou, where will there be enemies. It's only been half a month since the second room came back, what chance did Ruan's mother have to provoke such a big thing?
"According to the nephew and daughter-in-law, it is about Ruan's mother who knows that she can't escape, and she is ashamed of this family, and she feels sad, and if she can't think about it, she will ......" Zhou said this, sighed, and said, "Now, I can only wait for Zhenheng to wake up, and then ask Ruan's mother why she walked away." ”
When the atmosphere in the house was solemn, Cai Mei came in and asked softly, saying that Zhen Jue had prepared some wine soup in the kitchen, and whether she could take it to fill her stomach.
From noon onwards, everyone ate little, but there were so many things, that in the middle of the night, their stomachs were indeed a little hungry.
Duan's master, let Caimei send it up, and said, "It's hot, drink it to warm up, and if you have nothing to do, go to sleep." ”
Zhen Xuan didn't want to go to sleep, so she drank half a bowl and ran to the West House, Ji's bowl was still on the table, she took it over, and said, "Mother, take a few sips, if you are tired and sick, what should my brother and I do?" ”
When Ji Shi heard this, his eyes turned red, and he was about to cry again, hugged Zhen Xuan to his side, and muttered: "Mother is reluctant to let you go." ”
Zhen Xuan sniffed: "My brother can't bear us." ”
Ji nodded heavily, drank the wine soup one by one, and went to see Zhen Heng again, his little face was hot and red, and his breathing was also very heavy.
Ji turned his head and told himself that he couldn't be blindly sad, so he asked about the things outside. When he heard that Zhende was sick, he couldn't help but sigh. When I heard that Ruan's mother was gone, she was distracted again, and said, "No......"
Lu's mother was pulled by Bang Mo to rest for a while in the afternoon, and now her spirit is better than Ji's, she happened to come in, and she was also stunned when she heard the words: "It's not like it......"
"What's not like that?" Zhen Xuan asked back.
Mother Lu changed a strip of cloth on Zhen Heng's forehead and said, "The eleventh master and the thirteenth master have a good time, so the slave maid and Ruan's mother are also familiar." Ruan's mother is from the north and has a pair of children at home. The daughter is six years old and the son is four years old. That son was a posthumous son, and in order to support the child, he sold it to our family as a nurse. The child was handed over to a relative in the first room. She treats the thirteenth master well. But I was also worried about the two I born, so I thought about saving some more money for them to bring back. When she died, wouldn't those two children be left alone? I didn't have any money to bring back for a year and a half, and my relatives' families were not rich, so I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat well and wear no warmth. Ruan's mother is worried that the two children will not be like this. ”
After hearing this, Zhen Xuan felt a little sympathy for the two children, how sad the days under the fence were, she had tasted it, and there would be no money from Ruan's mother in the future. I don't know if I can feed my big one well.
Just guess, but don't come up with a result. If there is such a thing as the death of a nurse in the family, he will not go to the yamen to report it, so he has to wait to see what Zhenheng can recall when he wakes up.
Before the sky knew it, it was already bright, and Mrs. Ma still didn't get up, so she only asked Jincheng to come over and say that she was not in good spirits and wanted to rest more.
The fourth old lady and the sixteenth old man visited yesterday, ate more wine, stayed at a friend's house at night and did not come back, as soon as they entered the door, they heard that something had happened to Zhen Xun, and hurried to Qingrong Hall.
The sixteenth old man had a dark face, the headache after the hangover had not subsided, and he looked at the young son on the bed, and there was nothing he could do about the heartache, so he just stood aside and watched.
Zhen Heng's heat had not subsided, and Mr. He came to take a look again, his face was a little better than yesterday, and said, "Be relieved, you can get through." ”
Mrs. Li recited a few words of Amitabha, and instructed the qin to decoct the medicine carefully, refusing to fake it.
Zhende talked nonsense all night, and when he fell asleep at this point, Duan went to see it a few times and calmed down a little.
Except for Ruan's mother's unexplained suicide accident, everything seems to be slowly getting better.
It's just that it backfired, and before noon, Chen Yubao's family almost rushed into the house, with a panicked and panicked face.
When Duan Shi saw her like that, he felt very uncomfortable, just because she was a distant relative of Aunt Li, so he endured his temper and said, "What's the matter, there are no rules like this." ”
Chen Yubao's family gasped and trembled, but the rules did not dare to mess up, and said: "Back to a few old ladies and wives, someone from the eighth old lady came to report the news, saying, ......"
As soon as he heard that it was about the fourth room, Duan's face became even more ugly, so he had to peek at Mrs. Jiang, and saw that she had already pulled down her face, and said stubbornly: "What do you say?" ”
Chen Yubao's family clenched his fists, tried to stabilize himself, and said, "Say that the eighth old lady is gone!" It passed on the second day of the first month of last month. Fuling's men and horses have already set off, and it is estimated that they will arrive before the year. ”
Stunned and surprised, it was not enough to describe the mood of the people in the room, Zhen Xuan suddenly understood, why would Chen Yubao's family, who was in front of the big housekeeper, panic like this.
People are always afraid of ghosts......
Ruan's mother Zhen Heng and Zhen Xun were seriously injured, and she hanged herself in Qinghe Hall for no apparent reason, if she still couldn't figure it out, she could implicate the death of Mrs. Bao, and there was another result: Zhen Xun was Mrs. Bao's own grandson, and her old man was angry about her grandson.
Just like Mo Yan, who died that night, cried all night in Qingfu Hall, telling that the Shao family treated her unfairly, Zhen Xuan knew that it was made by Su Manyue, but it still scared many people at that time.
Zhen Xuan herself died once, and she knew that there was a soul after death, but she couldn't assert the truth about Ruan's mother's death. It's just that now Ruan's mother's suicide and Mrs. Bao's death are implicated, whether it is true or not, if you can't find out a reason after the most trouble, I'm afraid everyone will believe this statement.
Mrs. Jiang's hands trembled a little, she called Zhen Jue over, helped her out of the house, and didn't say a word.
The sixteenth old man came out of Zhen Xun, happened to hear this, he lost his mind for a long time, and after Mrs. Jiang left, he finally couldn't stand it, I don't know if it was for the injured young son, or for the deceased biological mother, he knelt on the ground with a puff and cried loudly.
