Chapter 107: Evil Fire
Yun Shu once told Qin Qingsu that Yun Xiu's greatest ability is to endure.
Fighting with her, the most taboo is to be unable to hold your breath.
Qin Qingsu introspected, was she too anxious?
But Yunshu was dying at the time, and he only told her one thing, and he didn't have time to tell her the other.
Besides, Yun Xiu is not wood, it is impossible to be wronged and beaten in vain.
Qin Qingsu once wondered if Yun Xiu's hysteria was pretending to be in the ancestral hall that night?
She didn't dare to say that Ling Xiao was extremely disgusted with her, even if she covered it up well in front of the Lord of Pingkang, but how could one person hate another person, how could she not feel it.
Wealth should be content, but when the brocade clothes and jade food are piled up in front of him, and the girl and the mother-in-law are around, the obsession in my heart is like a weed, growing crazy.
Gan's mother showed up on time every day with a bowl of mung bean and barley soup, and if she didn't drink it, she called her mother-in-law to come in and pour it.
Qin Qingsu is not a fool, she says that it is for her good, but this good always has a coercive taste.
Yun Xiu was busy with the trivial things of the family every day, and just asked the account office to take away the checked account books, Chunliu came in and whispered: "Grandma, Mother Gan is here and said that there is something to report." “
She stretched and took Brother Huan'er from the nurse's hand, "Call Mother Gan in." “
As soon as Mother Gan saw Yun Xiu, she squatted and said, "Grandma, it's not the right time for the slave to come." Disturb the good interest of you and the little boy. “
"It's okay, you can say it," Yun Xiu kissed the child's face, asked the nurse to take it away, and looked at Mother Gan again, "I heard Chunliu say that you did a good job." “
Chunliu immediately understood, took two taels of silver, handed it to Mother Gan, and said with a smile: "Grandma rewards you, you take it and drink tea." “
Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, Gan's mother's words are more sincere, "Grandma's good, slaves keep it in mind." “
"Get up and speak." Yun Xiu asked Chunliu to move the stool. Say to Mother Gan, "Sit." “
Mother Gan didn't dare to sit down, and said respectfully: "Aunt Qin hasn't made trouble these days, but the slave doesn't look right." “
Yun Xiu: "What's wrong?" “
"The slave found that she sometimes went out to the front yard and didn't ask anyone to follow," said Gan's mother, "but there was no bad news from the front yard, and the slave thought a lot, so she came to report it to the grandmother." “
"I see." Yun Xiu's tone was light, and she only asked, "Does she drink mung bean barley soup every day?" “
Mother Gan nodded: "Drink it every day, my aunt sometimes doesn't want to, so the slave will force it." Grandma just put her heart in her stomach, we slaves. I haven't seen anything else, but there are many ways to punish it. “
"There's Mama Laugan." Yun Xiu chuckled and asked Chunliu to send it away.
When Chunliu came in, she reminded in a low voice: "Grandma, Mother Gan said to the slave maid when she went out just now, Aunt Qin has been forced for a long time, and it must be a bad thing, and I am afraid that the mung bean barley soup will not last long." “
"I know it in my heart," Yun Xiu didn't pay too much attention, "You want the people in the front yard to keep an eye on recently, if Aunt Qin goes to the front yard again, come and report it quickly." “
Chunliu said yes.
Qin Qingsu went to the front yard every once in a while, and he didn't look for trouble and didn't seem to be walking around.
She was strolling in the verandah, Yun Xiu was standing in the atrium far behind her, and Chunliu asked in a low voice, "Grandma, the slave maid went over to call my aunt to ask for peace." “
Yun Xiu shook his head and said in the same low voice: "No, I'll see what she's doing." “
Qin Qingsu walked leisurely, humming a minor tune, passing through the front yard all the way, and then turning back, he really couldn't see anything.
The first day, the second day, the third day is still the same.
For three days in a row, even Chunliu doubted whether he was thinking too much, and persuaded: "Grandma, let's go back, it's quite cold outside." “
Yun Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you made an appointment with Dr. An this afternoon?" “
Chunliu said that the appointment was made.
Yun Xiu: "I'll go out and get down to business in a while." “
At the end of the day, not long after the carriage of the Weeping Flower Gate left, a woman looked through the door for a moment, then turned to leave.
When he was about to arrive at the courtyard of the county lord of Pingkang, he was suddenly stopped: "Mother Qiu, I'm here." “
Qiu's mother turned around and saw Qin Qingsu sneakily hiding behind the pillar, and sighed: "My good aunt, why are you standing here, you want to scare the slave to death, why haven't you come for a few days?" “
"Mother Qiu, don't mention it." Qin Qingsu cried with a sad face, "I don't know what the big grandmother said to the eldest grandmother, the eldest grandmother stared at me for three days, I pretended not to know, and I didn't dare to run around." “
"The county lord Niangniang knows that you are embarrassed," Qiu's mother took her to the side room to roast the fire and drink tea, "But the lady is in Changchun Garden, she can't make the decision for you, the old marquis has moved the real chapter, and no one dares to plead." “
Qin Qingsu pulled the corner of the other party's clothes and begged: "Mother Qiu, you don't know, the eldest grandmother wants to kill me." She is simply a disobedient to the yang and yin, and she deceives the county lord's mother to be kind and talkative! “
"And, there's!" She hurriedly said, "You want to tell the county lord that her old man wants to keep an eye on the study in the front yard, I go, my action must be more convenient than the next person, just ask the county lord to come back early, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to stand it." “
Qin Qingsu said sadly, and Qiu's mother couldn't bear to hear it: "Grandma looks good, can't tolerate you like this?" “
"My grandmother forced me to drink mung bean barley soup every day, and if I didn't drink it, she ordered someone to pour it." Qin Qingsu cried as she spoke, "Mom, when I was a girl at home, although my mother didn't treat me as her own, she didn't force me to do anything. “
"Mother Qiu, to say something from the bottom of your heart," she said like grasping at a life-saving straw, "The little marquis hates me, I know, but for the sake of the county lord's mother, I have to fight hard, even if I can't get the love of the little marquis in this life, it is better to keep a man and a woman than to keep an empty house alone." “
"Aunt Qin, you can wear it if you want," when it came to this, she was simply open and honest, and Qiu's mother said, "Zhizi Mo Ruomu, how could the county lord not understand the temperament of the little marquis, she also regretted it, she shouldn't have blocked the breath and carried you into the door in the first place." If you want to talk about the eldest grandmother, although the county lord said that she didn't like her background, first, she was the biological mother of the eldest grandson, and secondly, her feelings for the little marquis, the two old masters saw it in their eyes and couldn't deny it. “
"I know that Master Hou and Grandma are like glue, but??"
But what?
She thought she could really see through it, and Qiu's mother's words were undoubtedly a knife to the heart.
"The county lord understands her aunt's difficulties," Qiu's mother sighed, "There is no mother in the world who is willing to wronged her child, so she can only make up for you in another way." Pressing the big grandma for you, in fact, the big grandma is no better than you. “
Qin Qingsu lowered her head and cried: "Grandma is not good to me. “
"Aunt Qin, the slave has lived for half a lifetime, as a person who came over to persuade you," Qiu's mother took her hand, "No woman is willing to serve her beloved man with others, you don't have deep feelings for the little marquis, and you can't understand it." “
Qin Qingsu couldn't realize it, and his requirements were not high: "I don't want the little marquis to like it, can't I just treat each other squarely?" “
"The slave can only persuade." There is a lesson from Kang's mother in front of her, and Qiu's mother clicked until now, "My aunt has a good life for herself, you share the worries of the county lord's mother, and the slave must tell you." “
Qiu's mother did what she said, and took the time to go to Changchun Garden to report the recent movements in the house to 1510.
"This plain girl," the county lord of Pingkang sat in front of the smoke cage and stretched out his hand to bake the fire, "It's also brainless, what's the use of crying all day long, I don't know what to do." “
Qiu's mother had one thing to say: "The slave saw that the little marquis didn't have any thoughts about Aunt Qin." “
"Do you still need to say that?" The lord of Pingkang County picked up the tea cup in his hand and blew it, "Brother Xiao has a mind, do you still need us to talk about it all day long?" You see that he is more attentive to Yun Xiu than to me, my own mother. “
Qiu's mother advised: "The little marquis is also filial to you." “
"You don't have to speak for him," Lord Pingkang sipped hot tea, "He likes to guard Yunxiu, let him go, I also want to wear it these days, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I am heartbroken, no one reads well." “
"Don't be angry with the old marquis," Qiu's mother then persuaded, "One day husband and wife for a hundred days, the old marquis will naturally take you back." “
"He's angry?" Lord Pingkang snorted coldly, "Is the study still singing a little song?" “
Qiu's mother chose a compromise and replied: "This journey is less." “
"If you come less, you will come back." Lord Pingkang's face turned a little colder, "It's just right that I'm leaving." “
After a pause, he said: "You are a girl and keep an eye on it, you don't need to think too much about this matter, don't mess it up." “
Qiu's mother said yes and said goodbye.
"Wait." The county lord of Pingkang stopped her, "You talk to Yun Xiu, just say what I mean, don't give the vegetarian girl mung bean soup, how can there be a cold day to drink to dispel the heat, punish and punish, it just means, should you drink or drink the conditioning medicine." “
***
When the words came back to the Hou Mansion, Yun Xiu was not surprised, and asked Chunliu to go and tell Mother Gan that the mung bean barley soup would be stopped from tomorrow.
"Grandma, just let her go?" Chunliu said angrily, "You have become kind." “
Yun Xiu waved his hand: "If you are told to go, you will go, there will be a lot of talk." “
Chunliu seven or eight were reluctant to go out of the door.
Gan's mother didn't ask much, how did the grandmother tell me how to do it.
The next day, Chunliu came back from Jiu'an Hall to grab medicine, but Qin Qingsu refused in person.
"Aunt Qin, are you going to be a slave to catch poison?" Chunliu said disdainfully, "Each package of medicine is stamped with the seal of Jiu'an Hall, take a closer look." “
As she spoke, she untied the rope and placed a bag of medicine on the table, with a square red mark facing upward.
"Then I won't drink either." Qin Qingsu didn't even look at it, "Grandma punished me before and poured mung bean soup, this time the county lord is not here, who knows what to think." “
Chunliu couldn't see her virtue with Joe. I couldn't hold back for a while, pointed to my nose and scolded: "How do you speak?" My eldest grandmother, Hou Fu's wife, your aunt is just a little taller than a slave, do you really take yourself as a master?! It's not the county lord who speaks, you drink urine, and no one looks for a night pot! “
"You!" Qin Qingsu didn't expect Chunliu to dare to scold her, so angry that her teeth chattered, Huo Ran got up and called Mother Gan, "Slap your mouth!" Break her mouth! What are you still doing in a daze, and you don't do it yet?! “
Gan's mother hurriedly gave Chunliu a look, asking her to leave quickly, and stopped Qin Qingsu, "Auntie is angry, Miss Chunliu is the eldest grandmother's marriage, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, it's better to leave it to the eldest grandmother to decide." “
"Leave it to the eldest grandmother to decide, and it will definitely be towards your own people!" Qin Qingsu pounced on him and was stopped by two little girls, "What are you doing to stop me?!" She looks down on her aunt, and you look down on you too?! “
"Aunt Qin, you dissipate your anger," the two girls persuaded me every word, "Mother Gan is right, Miss Chunliu is a caring person around the grandmother, the minions dare not offend the grandma, you have a lot, don't meet a minion." “
"Do you mean you're afraid of grandma, not afraid of me?" Qin Qingsu stood still, glanced at the people present, and laughed angrily, "Cheng, you are one and two superficially obedient, how can you count them behind your back, when I don't know?" “
With that, she snatched the door out.
Ling Xiao usually returned to the house when he was in charge, and when he got off the horse at the Hanging Flower Gate, he saw the figure in the door.
"It's you," he said, passing by lukewarmly, "and don't stay in the house on a cold day, run out to blow the wind." “
"Little Marquis, you still send the concubine back to her parents' house." Qin Qing has always taken retreat as advance, "I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the Hou Mansion in the future." “
Ling Xiao paused: "What's the matter?" “
Qin Qingsu told him Chunliu's words word for word, and said at the end: "You look down on the concubine, the concubine accepts her fate, and you don't want to even bully me as a slave, the concubine is unpleasant, and the county lord and the old marquis nodded and brought in." “
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, and his tone softened, "I know, you come with me." “
He entered the house and asked Qin Qingsu to wait under the porch.
Yun Xiu handed over the child to the nurse, waited for Ling Xiao to change his clothes, and said with a smile: "Hurry up early today, and the spring willow food box will come back in a while, and you will eat two pastries first when you are hungry." “
Ling Xiao's tone was not quite right: "I'm not hungry, you tell Chunliu to come back first." “
"What did she do?" Yun Xiu asked tentatively.
Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on the couch and sipped tea, "Tell her to come back." “
Chunliu thought that there was something urgent, and before entering the house, she found Qin Qingsu standing under the porch, glanced at her, got into the cotton curtain, gave Ling Xiao a blessing gift, and smiled at Yun Xiu: "Grandma, when are you called a slave?" “
"Palm." Ling Xiao didn't raise his eyelids, and spit out two words clearly.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
Yun Xiu reacted quickly and asked softly, "What's wrong?" It's so angry today, and when you enter the house, you have to beat someone. “
Ling Xiao ignored it and looked at Chunliu: "I miss you serving your grandmother with all your heart, and you fight by yourself." “
Chunliu trembled and lowered her lips and cast a begging glance at Yun Xiu.
"There's always a reason to beat someone," Yun Xiu stopped in front, "She is the dowry I brought from Yangzhou, what is the difference between you beating her and beating me?" Whether it's red or white, make it clear on the bright side. “
"You have to understand, I'll understand it for you." Ling Xiao called Qin Qingsu in, and pointed at Yun Xiu, "Say what you just told me again." “
Qin Qingsu repeated the scolding words, lowered his eyes and said: "Grandma, the concubine didn't say half a sentence untrue, I don't believe you asked Chunliu." “
Yun Xiu frowned and reprimanded Chunliu: "How do I teach you on weekdays?" Aunt Qin is also half of your master, so you should compensate her first. “
Chunliu said goodbye, and said aggrievedly: "Grandma, the slave maid is scolded, but there is a reason for it." “
"You can't do anything wrong!" Yun Xiu saw Ling Xiao's expression a little colder, and spoke first, "I'm used to you on weekdays, let you talk nonsense, this will be a disaster, you quickly admit your mistake to Aunt Qin and ask her for forgiveness." “
Chunliu didn't admit her mistake to Qin Qingsu, raised her hand and slapped her, crying and said: "The slave maid took the medicine to Aunt Qin, but the aunt didn't want it, and said that she didn't know what the eldest grandmother was thinking??"
"Get out!"
Ling Xiao suddenly became angry, picked up the tea cup and smashed it on the ground, the hot tea splashed everywhere, and the mother-in-law couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Yun Xiu, Qin Qingsu, and Chunliu were frightened, and then Brother Huan's cry came from the West House.
It undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire.
Ling Xiao stared at Yun Xiu unkindly: "Tell the wet nurse to hurry up and coax it, otherwise let your son cry outside the house." “
Yun Xiu hurriedly got up and went over, complaining as he walked, "You scared him, so he cried." “
The remaining two stood and didn't dare to move, Ling Xiao looked at Qin Qingsu first: "Are you going to get out?" “
Qin Qingsu didn't linger for a moment, and left quickly with the cloak.
There was only Chunliu left, and she took two steps back tremblingly, lowering her head, eager to find a crack in the ground to hide.
Ling Xiao said in a deep voice: "Who told you to stop?" Keep playing. “
Chunliu could only continue, crying while fighting.
Yun Xiu knew that he couldn't be persuaded in anger, otherwise Chunliu would have no good fruit to eat.
She frowned and waited, seeing that the corners of Chunliu's mouth were oozing blood, she hurriedly stopped, "She runs errands for me all day long, slaps her face, and lets the people in the house see it, come to laugh at me?" “
"I see who dares!" Ling Xiao said sharply, "Have you stopped since we moved back to the house?!" Say it yourself! “
Yun Xiu knew that this fire was coming at Chunliu on her face, but it was actually coming at her.
"You go down and rub the medicine first." She gave Chunliu a look, took all the subordinates away, turned around and sat back on the couch, and asked softly, "What is it that makes you unhappy?" There are no outsiders in the house, you speak bluntly. “
"Did I say you listen?!" Ling Xiao burst into evil fire, "If you beat it, you will beat it, instigate your subordinates to stir up right and wrong, and make the family miserable!" “
"What do you mean by me instigating my subordinates to stir up right and wrong?" Yun Xiu didn't like to hear this, "Why are you angry with me?" Your little wife provoked trouble first, and sent a message to Changchun Garden, and her mother asked her to continue to regulate her body, and I prescribed medicine to her, but I took it wrong? You punished Chunliu, why didn't you punish her? “
Ling Xiao asked rhetorically: "Chunliu is right?" How did Kang Pozi die, have you forgotten? “
Yun Xiu looked at him in disbelief: "What do you mean?" Can't take my man's sacrifice sword? “
Ling Xiao didn't pay attention to it anymore and asked someone to set the meal.
Yun Xiu glanced at the dishes on the kang table. I didn't have an appetite, so I got up and said: "Chunliu is at fault, I won't protect it, Qin Qingsu is afraid that I will do something in the medicine, so tomorrow, at most, delay you for an hour, let's go to Jiu'an Hall, the doctor is chosen by her, and you can see the prescription, it's all right." “
After finishing speaking, she went to Westinghouse to accompany Brother Huan.
Ling Xiao ate this meal without being fishy or smelly, and he changed his usual meal. He must have coaxed, forget it in the past, but he didn't want to coax today, he felt that it was because of his own connivance that he made the minions around him arrogant.
At night, Yun Xiu didn't go back to the East House, and slept directly with the child.
Ling Xiao was lying on the bed alone, thinking that the other party would take the initiative to come back to the steps, but after listening for a long time, Westinghouse did not move, so he was so angry that he got up and blew the lamp directly.
The next day, at breakfast, Yun Xiu repeated yesterday's topic and asked him to come back an hour earlier at noon.
Ling Xiao responded.
Yuzhong. The sun was warm, Qin Qingsu was happy in his heart, even if he was not enough to ride with his wife, he still happily got into the back car.
Ling Xiao and Yun Xiu sat in the car, speechless all the way.
When they arrived at Jiu'an Hall, Ling Xiao was the leader, and the three of them entered the pharmacy.
Qin Qingsu took the initiative to ask the guy who the doctor was.
The guy observed the words and looks, and saw that a few people were dressed luxuriously, so please go to the backyard and find An Entong on duty.
Before An Entong could speak, Qin Qingsu frowned and said to Ling Xiao: "Little Marquis, the concubine doesn't like foreign doctors, besides, this one is too young, can he change his position to be old and experienced?" “
Ling Xiao snorted, agreeing.
The old doctor who is taking a lunch break again.
An Entong stood in place, smiled at the three of them, saluted, and turned away with his hands in his hands.
Yun Xiu frowned and looked at his back, sighing slightly.
"What? Fellows see fellows, especially kind? Ling Xiao said coldly from behind, startling the other party.
Yun Xiu turned his head, he wanted to explain, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into cynicism, "Yes, the little marquis has never left Shangjing, he has never tasted homesickness, and of course he can't understand the feelings of a fellow countryman seeing a fellow countryman." “
"Okay, you take your time." Ling Xiao glanced at her with a gloomy face, and turned to look for Qin Qingsu.
The wind blew through the courtyard for a while, Chunliu hurt her face, Yun Xiu took the other mothers-in-law, and there was no one to speak, sitting alone on the stone bench in the atrium.
"Madam, why don't you go to the pharmacy and sit for a while, it's warm over there." I don't know when An Entong came out again, and handed over the soup woman, and said gently, "The wind in the capital is colder than Yangzhou." Be careful of freezing. “
"Is it convenient?" Yun Xiu's feet were indeed numb, and she took Tang Pozi into her arms, "I don't like the winter in Yanjing either, it's cold and dry." “
"It's certain that you won't adapt to the water and soil," An Entong opened the curtain for her, not forgetting to remind, "Madam, be careful of the headdress." “
"You are so careful," Yun Xiu stroked her hair, "You remind me of the sixth brother-in-law, who is also the Ye family, and is very good to my sixth sister, I wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that the sixth sister has a body." He ghostwrote, and the joy could be seen between the lines. “
said, the smile faded, "When I was a girl, the sixth sister suffered the most, and now she is willing to suffer, and she is more beautiful than our other sisters." “
An Entong didn't speak, listened quietly, the corners of her mouth rose or sank with her emotions, like fireworks in the blue waves and green lakes of Yangzhou City in March, and the spring river was warm, cleansing people's hearts.
Yun Xiu talked for a while, came back to his senses, and smiled embarrassedly: "Just listen to my nagging, delay you from doing your business." “
"Not really," An Entong carefully wrapped the divided medicinal herbs, "On weekdays, I like to stay alone in the pharmacy and hide quietly, but there is nothing wrong with someone talking occasionally." “
"It's good that I didn't bother you," Yun Xiu hesitated for a moment, "Doctor An, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking." “
"Madame, please."
"My aunt has no rules, you don't mind, right?"
"No," An Entong shook his head slightly, "I left home early to study, and I was a foreigner everywhere, but I got used to it." “
"That's right," Yun Xiu felt a little sympathetic in her heart, "It's good if you don't mind." “
"Where's Madame?" This time, An Entong asked her, "You live in the Hou Mansion, do you mind the eyes of others?" “
"Yes." Yun Xiu said calmly, "Marrying in Shangjing is the farthest road I have traveled in my life. “
An Entong asked again: "Has Madame ever thought about going back to Yangzhou in the future?" “
Yun Xiu shook his head: "I don't know, when the child is older, I may think about it, but fortunately, my grandmother and they also moved to Beijing, so they are not unaccompanied." “
An Entong showed a relieved look: "Madame can see it, and it's good to have a good time." “
As soon as the words fell, the mother-in-law asked in a low voice outside the house: "Grandma, little marquis, they are gone, can we leave?" “
"Let's go." Yun Xiu responded and said goodbye to An Entong, "I'm leaving, Doctor An, please stay." “
An Entong nodded and said yes.
When Yun Xiu came out, he saw that his mother-in-law looked wrong, and asked, "What about the little marquis?" “
The mother-in-law followed by her side, pursed her lips, and lowered her voice: "Grandma, just now the little marquis is standing outside the door listening to you and the doctor, the slave wants to remind him, the little marquis will not let him, no, take Aunt Qin to take the car back to the house first." “
