Chapter 7: Escaped
The reason why the Fang clan left so simply was not that he was really afraid of Old Taijun Qiu, but that he looked down on her at all.
Speaking of his mother-in-law, Fang didn't know how to describe it. Whether it was when she was still a girl at home, or after she left the cabinet, she had never seen anyone like her mother-in-law.
Let's say that she is incompetent, she also once kept her eldest son in the chaotic army, and then held on until her husband soared, his wife was expensive, and he directly became a super-grade duchess all the way. said that she looked ordinary, but her husband guarded her all her life, she didn't have an aunt, she didn't have a concubine, there was only a concubine born to Xiaoxing, and she was married two years ago. Everything a woman's family wants, she seems to get without much effort. You said it was luck, but Fang didn't believe it at all. I'm afraid that the old lady really has any strengths that no one knows.
But if you want to say that this mother-in-law is wise and foolish, she doesn't look like it at all. She almost doesn't care about things, whether it's the front yard or the backyard, she doesn't care, she just has a good life with her husband. When the house was not opened, the backyard was simple, and Uncle Li Meng sometimes came to take a look, and the family's affairs were solved so easily. Later, when the mansion was opened, the sister-in-law Zhang got married, and she directly handed over the housekeeper's affairs to her, and she really didn't even ask. Later, the sister-in-law went, Li Mao attacked the lord, she became the mistress of this house, and she also directly handed over the housekeeper's affairs to her, just live her own life, unless she came to ask for instructions, otherwise she rarely stretched out her hand.
Whether the old lady usually treats people and treats people, or socializes with people, it can only be said that she does not make mistakes, and she can't talk about it with a few old ladies. Except for a few families who had been suffering together in the early years, she didn't like to see anyone, and even if they did, they were all faint. She doesn't like embroidery, doesn't like to watch plays, and doesn't like to be lively, she only has a few plots of land in the backyard and occasionally grows vegetables, even as a pastime. It's no different from that kind of old country woman.
Such a mother-in-law, although she is respectful on her face and has done all the etiquette, she has disdain in her heart. Although she was not born in a family of Zhong Ming Dingshi, she is also a scholarly family of generations of eunuchs, and she thinks that she is different from this kind of old woman from the countryside.
But it was such a person she looked down on in her heart, and she actually saved Li Rui inexplicably!
Fang Shi tugged at the handkerchief in a little panic, biting his silver teeth with hatred.
How could it be! How could the old lady who never cared about the affairs of Qingcang Courtyard come to Qingcang Courtyard in person and interfered in Li Rui's affairs! Could it be that she used to pretend regardless of it, but in fact, she saw everything in her eyes?
Thinking of Old Taijun Qiu standing on the edge of the bed glaring at her and asking her to leave, Fang couldn't help but shudder.
This old lady, if she notices what she is doing, is doing the thing of beating the "Dengwen Drum" to face the saint. Did she really think that the current emperor was still the amiable eldest nephew of her family!
So, did the old lady find out, or didn't she find out?
I don't think you found it, right? If she found out, it would be time for her to rush to the Splendid Temple and ask her what was going on with the medicine. I'm afraid it's just a coincidence. The old lady has been in the army with her husband for a long time, and it is normal for her to treat this kind of whiplash wounds that are common in the army. Conditions in the army are much harsher.
It's better to bury the little tripod sent from home. Buried insurance.
In Qingcang Courtyard, Li Rui could already sit up and eat by himself.
As soon as this little kid woke up, he was restless and wanted to eat this and that. There are many foods that cannot be eaten for wound infections, such as spicy and irritating and excessively greasy. Gu Qing refuted it with a straight face. She asked the kitchen staff to make some light, easy-to-digest food and serve it to Qingcangyuan.
He probably didn't know that he had picked up a life from the ghost gate.
"Grandmother, where's Auntie?" Li Rui puffed out his bun face and said with some worry: "I'm fine now, grandmother, you better go back and rest." "The old lady has been in his yard for a day. Every time she walked tremblingly with her cane, he was afraid that she would fall down again.
He still remembered that he went to the old lady in Zhiyun Courtyard to ask for his mother's dowry, and the old lady covered her chest and fainted. He really regretted it.
"Your aunt kept watch over you all night, and I let her go to rest. When you're better, I'll go back to the Cloud Courtyard. Gu Qing knew that he couldn't rest well if he stayed here, so he might as well observe it and go back if there was no problem.
"I'll leave Mama Hua and Yanyun for you in Qingcang Courtyard, you are now understaffed here, with them here, the girls and women in your courtyard will not cheat and cheat, I can rest assured. You take care of your injuries, and if you have something, let your subordinates go directly to Zhiyun Courtyard to find your grandmother. Gu Qing looked at the little fat man with a grateful face, and then looked at Mama Hua.
Mama Hua bent down to answer. "Mrs. Tai, don't worry, the slaves and maids will definitely take care of Young Master Rui."
"I'll come back tomorrow."
Gu Qing nodded, and returned to Zhiyun Courtyard in a soft sedan chair.
Not long after Gu Qing returned to his courtyard, Li Mao, who had just returned from the palace, came to greet him. She had experienced so many things when she first wore it, and she was really impatient to perfunctory these people, but she had to come into contact with the relatives who stayed behind in this body, so she had to cheer up and see him, and without saying a few words, she excused herself from taking care of Li Rui and was tired, and left this prince perfunctorily.
Li Mao heard Gu Qing say that Li Rui's high fever had just subsided, and hurried to Qingcang Courtyard again.
Now that Gu Qing doesn't look at Li Mao and Fang's family, Fang's family doesn't need to say, Gu Qing's experience in reading various palace fighting novels and costume dramas over the years tells her that this woman has a problem. And Li Mao, the son of this body, she doesn't like it very much. She always felt that although this Li Mao looked like a loyal uncle, he looked very much like his second uncle.
Her second uncle is the second in the family, her father is the eldest, and she also has a particularly favored uncle, it stands to reason that the second uncle is in the middle, and he should be the most embarrassing one, but her second uncle has known how to be left and right since he was a child. Moreover, he always puts on a "I'm neglected again" appearance, as long as his father or his uncle gets any benefits, even if it is earned by himself, he also makes a pitiful appearance to others. Her grandparents felt guilty and repeatedly stressed to her father and her uncle that they should "carry up" their brothers. This second uncle has no position in his life, and everyone who asks him says yes, and I haven't seen him do anything particularly beautiful. Gu Qing has watched his father take care of this second uncle since he was a child, as if he was raising a son.
However, this kind of person who is good at and muddy, who says everything well, is often the most unreliable person. Later, her family's business went wrong, and the second uncle was the first to disappear, but it was the grumpy uncle who had quarreled before who sold the house to help her family get through the difficulties.
Later, their family completely let go of the second uncle's family.
Besides, Li Mao went to Qingcang Courtyard to see Li Rui, and when he saw that he was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He put on a "loving father" appearance and told Li Rui that he must go to Zhiyun Courtyard to kowtow, and carefully inquired about diet and medicine. Because Mama Hua and the eldest girl in his mother's courtyard were in Li Mao's courtyard, it was inconvenient for him to stay for a long time, and when he saw that Li Rui was indeed fine, he went back to the East Garden.
In the East Garden, the Fang family waited for Li Mao to take off the official clothes he wore when he entered the palace and change into the regular clothes at home. The husband and wife were talking together on the big kang by the window. The surrounding subordinates were far away, and only Mama Liu was doing needlework under the porch not far from the door, guarding the door.
"How did the master enter the palace this time?"
"Your Majesty announced that I entered the palace and asked about the old lady." Li Mao rubbed the corners of his forehead, and didn't tell Emperor Fang about reprimanding him. "What's going on with Li Rui?"
"It was said that the whip was not clean and stained the wound. Originally, it was very dangerous, and the high fever did not go away, but then the old lady brought a group of girls and grandmothers to slowly recuperate, and I heard that it was smoked vinegar and steamed wine, and it was tossed for a while. You see if the old lady has been ......"
"Don't overthink it! Rui'er, did you interfere in this danger? ”
"Sir! How could I do such a thing without consulting you! Fang immediately screamed. It's true that she did something nasty, but that doesn't mean she wants her husband to see her as a scorpion woman.
"It's good if you don't have it."
Li Mao didn't believe it in his heart, but he still held her in his arms and comforted her.
In recent years, he felt that his wife was becoming more and more impetuous, and he said that he wanted to do it slowly, but she couldn't help but stretch out her hand. With Li Rui's current appearance, what is the difference between being alive and dead. The eleven or twelve-year-old child didn't know a few words, and he looked like that, and even the most inflammatory-attached subordinates were unwilling to send their sons to him on errands, and they would only grow and become more and more crippled in the future. Compared with him, his children are simply beautiful and good-looking.
That's all she has been worried about! Now I still suspect that the old lady is coming.
Li Mao followed his wife's back and decided to clarify the situation with the Fang family. She is a woman, and no matter how strong her housekeeping ability is, she may not be able to see the situation in the court. Now the Guogong Mansion is quite strong, but ......
"No matter how confused the old lady is, it is also Rui'er and Ming'er's grandmother. What's more, I know my mother's thoughts best, she thinks she can do it, so she interferes. The palace has been staring at the house recently, you had better be steady, don't worry about Rui'er's affairs, just have the old lady to take care of it. Their ancestors are kind and filial, and it is also a good story to spread out. ”
He held one of Fang's hands and said with a solemn face: "Fortunately, Rui'er is fine this time, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to tell." Rui'er is my eldest brother's bloodline, and it can be raised, but nothing can happen. Otherwise, the first one in the palace can't let us go, and if we really want to be applied, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the title. ”
Fang was stunned, "Seize the title? Not really, right? ”
"This is not the old Majesty of the past." Li Mao sighed, "When he was still the crown prince, he didn't agree to set up a super prince. Didn't you see that even the prince was not sealed? It was His Majesty who remembered the kindness of the old days, and we got this title in our house. Now it is difficult to say whether this national prince can be passed on to Ming'er's head. ”
Fang Shi looked at the carved patterns on the lacquer table, and gradually saw the god.
A new day has arrived, and since the third watch, the people in the Zhiyun Courtyard have moved one after another. Hearing that Mrs. Tai's health was well and she was out of the yard, the people in the North Garden looked relaxed, and even walked briskly, which was completely different from the panic of the previous days.
Gu Qing was holding a branch of an unknown tree, dipped in a green plaster and rubbing his teeth. For the past few days, she has been lying in bed eating and drinking, and she has not even brushed her teeth, but has only rinsed with salt water. Now that she got out of bed, she carefully wiped her teeth, rinsed her mouth, cleaned her face, and the maids waited for her to put on several layers of clothes inside and out, and then sat down in front of the state and let the combing lady comb her hair. After combing her hair and eating breakfast, she was going to go around the Qingcang Courtyard.
Fortunately, she dressed as an old lady, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to wear clothes!
"Mrs. Tai, is the smock on the outside today wearing that moon-white silk, or is it snow-green and ice-silk?"
Qi Yun was in charge of the old lady's wardrobe, and came over to ask as usual. The old lady in their house is different from other houses, she wears clothes very casually, and she has made jokes a few times. Later, Fang asked Qi Yun to match the old lady's clothes every time, and then let the old lady choose them. This not only respects the old lady's ideas, but also does not make embarrassing things about seven or eight colors on the body.
What? Moon white? Xue Qing?
Is that the color of the gods?
Gu Qing deeply felt that it was very difficult for him to be a historical blind person in ancient times. Even if Mrs. Qiu left her most of the memories, she couldn't find these common-sense things right away!
"The one with the moon white." Gu Qing imagined that the white moon was probably the yellow of the moon. Snowy, presumably blue? She prefers goose yellow to blue.
As a result, Qi Yun came over with a light blue robe.
Gu Qing looked at the light blouse in Qi Yun's hand, and asked a little puzzledly, "Is this the one that is Yuebai?" ”
Qi Yun looked at the clothes in his hand and nodded. "Mrs. Tai, there are two more moon-white ones, but they are not silky, and I am afraid that the cover is a little heavy on the coat."
"Then this one."
Holy! What if the moon is white and blue? You just say it's light blue, and it's moon white! I almost showed myself a fool, okay!
The ancients were too painful.
What color is snow blue?
Hmm, next time I need to take a look at the snow blue.
