Chapter 98: It's useless to beg
Yun Xiu moved to the North House, and Chunliu tried to persuade him several times, but when he saw Ling Xiao with a calm face and didn't say a word, he wanted to shut up.
At this time, both of them were angry, and they couldn't listen to the persuasion.
At night, the lights went out in the north house, Ling Xiao stood at the door stunned, and then closed the door, and the glass window that didn't light up for a long time was also dark.
Yun Xiu was destined to have a sleepless night, but she didn't want Ling Xiao to feel embarrassed and embarrassed, so she simply turned off the lights early and made an illusion of eating and sleeping soundly.
Chunliu was making a bunk next to the bed, and she was also awake, she witnessed everything that happened today, but the grandmother was too quiet, except for crying in the study, and she didn't shed a single tear until now, and the old man said that it was not a good thing to be stuffy.
"Grandma, the slave will talk to you to relieve your boredom." She heard the movement of turning over on the bed, and whispered, "Talking and talking, drowsiness will come." “
"What do you want to say?" Yun Xiu stared at the top of the bed soberly and asked sullenly.
"Just??" Chunliu hesitated, "The slave and maid shouldn't talk too much, but the big grandmother, the bystander is clear, the slave and the maid think that the little marquis will not let you down, why don't you give him a chance to explain, to be honest, the slave and maid have been with you for so long, and I have never seen the little marquis so attentive to the second person." “
Yun Xiu didn't speak.
Chunliu then said: "The slave and maid were sick on the day you gave birth, and later listened to the housekeeper's mother-in-law. The little marquis kept watch outside the house all night, if it wasn't for the mother-in-law at the door to stop him, he would have rushed into the house a long time ago, and said that in case of accidents, Lord Bao, it can be seen that he values you more. “
"Besides, you have just come out of confinement, and your body has not fully recovered, isn't it difficult for yourself to lose your temper like this," she sighed slightly, "The slave knows what you are angry with, and you are angry that the little marquis should not hide it with others, and it is disrespectful, this matter is exchanged for slaves and maids, and slaves and maids do not say it." “
"Why?"
"Big grandma. Doctor An gave birth to a fierce medicine for your safety, but it was a three-point poison, and he repeatedly told you to recuperate," Chunliu said, "The little marquis is afraid that you will be angry and sad, so he won't block you, and the slave can't say a big reason, so he thinks that the little marquis won't harm you." “
"Chunliu, the truth is clear, but I can't get over it in my heart." Yun Xiu let the tears slide down the corners of his eyes, cold and cold, but his voice remained calm, "Love is deep and hateful, the little marquis is too self-righteous and looks down on my feelings for him too much." “
"I confess, I'm not gentle. Jealous, but why? Because he is the person on the tip of my heart. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, "I don't care about anyone's eyes, only the little marquis." Chunliu, when you have a man you like in the future, you will be able to understand my feelings. “
"Grandma, when the slave sees you like this, she doesn't want to get married." Chunliu expressed his worries, "When you and the little marquis are good, you really should say that you don't envy the mandarin ducks and don't envy the immortals, but when you're sad, it's really troublesome." On weekdays, it is said that the third grandmother Qi is spicy, and compared with you today, I feel that you have a stronger temper than the third grandmother. “
"Grandma," she got up and said in her heart, "In the past, the old people in the family said that the straight wood was cut down and the Ganjing was exhausted first, and the slave didn't understand it when she was a child, and then she entered the house to be a girl, and followed Fang's mother to understand a few points, you can't be too stubborn and too obsessed with everything, otherwise you will be the one who suffers." “
"Chunliu, I understand the truth that is strong and easy to break," Yun Xiu let out a long sigh, "But when it comes to my own head, tell me how to calm down, how not to be obsessed, if I have a greedy and obsessive life, I would have eaten fast with my grandmother and recited the Buddha, and I would have gone as a sister-in-law, but my heart is not dead." “
"Slave maid Ming'er will make peace with the little marquis for you," Chunliu persuaded him not to disperse, "Say a word of advice, the moth is coming, and the county lord is not facing you, you and the little marquis don't hurt their own people, but let people take advantage of the loophole." You don't want to think about Hou Ye, you have to think about Xiao Gongzi. “
"Chunliu, I found out that you didn't learn anything else when you came to the capital, so you practiced opening your mouth." Yun Xiu was angry and helpless, "If you go on to the first shift, hurry up and go to sleep, today is the first day of returning home, and Ming'er doesn't know what the situation is." “
Chunliu nodded: "So you have to nourish your spirits even more." “
Yun Xiu didn't want to sleep, but she didn't want to talk anymore, a girl who served people understood the truth, how could she not understand, in the dead of night, thinking back on the past, remembering that it was still all kinds of beauty.
But if she wants to forgive immediately, she can't do it, she doesn't want to violate and wronged her heart.
Yun Xiu opened his eyes and stayed open for a night, accustomed to getting up naturally at the right time, washing, and arranging for the kitchen to deliver food.
She subconsciously instructed Chunliu: "Have you gone to see if the little marquis is up?" “
In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, and when the spring willow goes out, it is still dark, and the main house is also dark, she enters the house and replies, "Grandma, the little marquis didn't get up, do you want to knock on the door and scream, at this time on weekdays, you and the little marquis should almost have breakfast." “
"You knock on the door and remind him to get up." Yun Xiu didn't want to meet Ling Xiao, "He got up and asked the little guy to go in and serve, and asked the small kitchen to hurry up and deliver the food box." “
Chunliu was ordered to go out.
After a while, Yun Xiu heard the sound of smashing things in the main house, and after a while, hurried footsteps sounded under the corridor, and Chunliu entered the house, trembling with fright: "Big, grandma, why don't you go and take a look, the slave knocked on the door, and the little marquis lost his temper and dropped a few tea cups." “
It's what she heard, Yun Xiu was entangled for a moment, put on a cloak and went out, standing in front of the Linghua door, one hand was just raised, the door suddenly opened, and before he could react, he was pulled in.
The door slammed shut, Yun Xiu just spit out the word "you", the crisp smell rushed over, she raised her hands above her head, and was vigorously pressed on the rhombic lattice, which hurt so much.
Ling Xiao kissed each other promiscuously, and when he saw that the other party did not resist, he was defeated.
"Are you really going to break with me?" His voice was a little hoarse, "Just for one thing, you don't even listen to an explanation?" “
"I don't want to hear it." Yun Xiu pulled out his hand, sorted out his clothes, and said lightly, "Is crazy enough?" Crazy enough to get dressed, washed, eaten, and go to the Privy Council to get some food. “
Ling Xiao looked at her in disappointment: "You came to tell me this?" “
"Yes." Yun Xiu replied simply, "Father wants us to pave the way for Brother Huan'er to inherit the road, so I will do my best to pay for my children without affecting your work and official duties." “
"No Lao Tzu has a son?!" Ling Xiao turned around and slapped the blue and white porcelain vase on the square table, smashing it to pieces, "I don't know what to do!" Bear with you, pet such a thing as you! This family can call the shots except for my father, who is me! Without my protection, you're not a fart! “
"That's it, that's it, that's it?" Yun Xiu looked at the moment. said in a cool voice, "Now plus eating, you have at most a quarter of an hour to pack up and go out, you want to take leave, I won't stop you, but I will definitely tell my father-in-law that you are delaying official business due to private matters, not that I am angry and let you go." “
"Cheng, do you want to be real?" Ling Xiao's gaze was terrifying, and his index finger poked her shoulder, "I'll ask you one last time, is it a grace break?" “
"Yes."
"Okay, from today onwards, Lao Tzu will let you know the fate of En's righteousness!"
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he pushed Yun Xiu out of the room, and the door closed again.
Chunliu was afraid that the two would quarrel, and her grandmother would suffer, so she stood under the porch and waited, sure enough??
"Grandma, the slave will help you go back," she stomped her feet so cold that she deliberately raised her voice and said, "It's too cold outside, you were frozen yesterday, and you didn't drink ginger soup, and if you walk back and forth in the courtyard before dawn today, you will get sick." “
Chun Liuman thought that the little marquis must be distressed about the eldest grandmother, so he opened the door and said a soft word and handed over a step, but no, and then saw that the eldest grandmother had already walked to the middle of the courtyard.
"Grandma, slow down." She caught up, held Yun Xiu's arm, opened the cotton curtain, and looked at the main house that was still closed, sighed and shook her head, "Why bother, alas." “
Yun Xiu fell asleep and woke up, feeling tired, asked Chunliu to cook a bowl of ginger soup, and sent someone to the main courtyard of Pingkang County to spread the word, saying that he was ill, so he would not go over to ask for peace, so as not to make adults and children sick.
She didn't know what Lord Pingkang thought, but it was okay if no one cared.
The subordinates of the Hou Mansion are all weather vanes, seeing that the eldest grandmother is not allowed to be seen by the county lord, and there is a discord with the little Hou Ye, so he doesn't come forward if he has nothing to do. If there is something to push, Ling Xiao will not return at noon, and the small kitchen will only deliver the food box two quarters of an hour later than usual.
Chunliu opened it and cursed, "What a dog!" On weekdays, you have to reward money, laugh out of your teeth, how good is a bite of Huaiyang cuisine, this chef of Yangzhou cuisine can't die! What is this, it's so black! “
"It's pickles." Yun Xiu was not very comfortable, and he didn't have the energy to care, "Just eat it, don't complain, be careful that the wall has ears." “
"Grandma, don't take such a bully," Chunliu pisted, "When the little marquis comes back, the slave will go to complain." “
"You don't have to sue," Yun Xiu chuckled, "just look at dinner." “
Sure enough, she expected it, and when Ling Xiao came back, the dishes in the small kitchen were beautiful and delicious, with green leaves, full of gravy, bright soy soup, and the color and aroma were comparable to the cooking skills of a restaurant.
Yun Xiu has no appetite, Ling Xiao wants her to go, according to the rules of the Beijing circle, the gentlemen go to the table, the ladies eat in the hall, and they can only stand and not sit when they are serving.
After eating the whole meal, Ling Xiao didn't need to stretch out his chopsticks, so he almost didn't ask Yun Xiu to feed his mouth.
After he finished eating, she went back to the north house to pick up two mouthfuls of rice. Dealing with the past.
"Grandma, that's all you eat?" Chunliu said worriedly, "The little marquis will ask you to come over in a while, and you will definitely be hungry at night." “
"I'll talk about it when I'm hungry." Yun Xiuqiang smiled energetically, and heard the mother-in-law under the porch saying that the Hou Ye was going to take a bath later, and named the grandmother to serve.
"Just come." Chunliu responded, turned her head and eagerly persuaded Yun Xiu, "Grandma, it's okay for you to be soft with the little marquis, now take the rules of the Beijing circle, and toss you endlessly, it's yourself who is uncomfortable, you have a precious body, how can you do the rough work of a slave." “
Yun Xiu asked her to bring her coat, "Don't care, it's my business with him." “
"The slave is worried about you." Chunliu hurriedly said, "Do you want to spread it to that shameless ear and not show people a joke?" “
"They just can't see the little marquis spoil me," Yun Xiu said as he walked out, "If I don't let the county lord get his wish, there will be a second and third Qin Qingsu enter the door, and the old marquis only cares about the overall situation, saying that it is to compensate me for my grievances, but I can stab my heart, and I know how much I hurt." The little marquis is a lone seedling, a child who has grown up pampered, and he has never seen a battle in the back house, he doesn't understand, and I don't plan to explain. “
After a pause, "Sister Guangqi's methods of harming me have brought endless trouble, she has been dead for a hundred, but I am alive, and I can only endure it now, endure this and then make calculations." “
With that, she went to the main house.
Uncle Ling Xiao lay on the side of the bathtub like an uncle, asking Yun Xiu to rub his back.
Yun Xiu served according to the usual practice, then foamed with the pancreas, washed it, and poured hot water all over it.
Rubbing the bath is a physical job, when she took her clothes and waited for Ling Xiao to get out of the bath, her entire back was sweaty, and the heat had been steaming for a long time, and she felt a little top-heavy and floating.
"Me??"
Ling Xiao glanced at her.
Yun Xiu immediately changed her words, "The concubine is unwell, and it may be difficult to wait for the Hou Ye to sleep." “
Ling Xiao snorted coldly: "What's the menstrual matter?" “
Yun Xiu shook his head, "No." “
"No, what's hypocritical," Ling Xiao called his mother-in-law, "Wait for the grandmother to bathe and change clothes." “
Yun Xiu pursed her lips, and when she finished washing and dressing, she suddenly felt a chill, and she got into the quilt and shivered, and her body temperature rose.
Ling Xiao found that something was wrong with her, so he leaned over and touched his forehead, touched his neck, and frowned: "There is no use for fart, there are no rules, and there is something wrong with it." “
After the reproach, he asked someone to go to the small kitchen to boil a bowl of thick brown sugar ginger water to drive away the cold and sweat.
Yun Xiu wrapped the quilt tightly and felt cold, so she simply covered her head, only exposing the top of her head.
Ling Xiao sighed and pressed his big quilt on it, "Is it still cold?" “
Yun Xiu turned her back to him and shook her head.
"Say," Ling Xiao leaned behind her back, "Are you still gracious?" No matter how strong it is, Ming'er will continue to make rules, and you can just be soft. “
Yun Xiu was silent.
Ling Xiao snorted, and no one paid attention to anyone.
After a while, seeing that the other party still didn't speak, he stood up and pulled the quilt to take a look, and found that Yun Xiu was asleep, his lower eyelids were blue, and he didn't rest well at first glance.
It's a lie not to feel distressed, Ling Xiao dragged the person to his quilt, hugged him lightly, sighed faintly, and said how gentle the Jiangnan water town is, how can he marry an alternative back.
Yun Xiu slept very deeply, and when she woke up, the two fell asleep facing each other, she raised her eyes, the other party just opened her eyes, and their eyes were facing each other, and the next moment Ling Xiao reached out and touched her head, which had already subsided the fever, so he pinched her chin and kissed it, and pressed it down.
Yun Xiu pressed against him, "Lighter, my body hasn't fully recovered." “
Ling Xiao said that he knew that he was indeed very light, and after the incident, Yun Xiu still covered his lower abdomen and said that he was uncomfortable.
"You." Ling Xiao carried her to the couch, peeled the eggs as usual, and asked her to eat them while they were hot, "The future looks at you and raises it, I don't want to say bad things, your body is like a paper kite, you will leak when you break a fart, and you love to think a lot, your seventh sister has a short life, and you will follow suit?" “
Yun Xiu glanced at him.
"You're getting better, aren't you?" Ling Xiao tapped her bowl with chopsticks, "What I said last night should be in the ears." “
"You're still not letting me eat it?" Yun Xiu asked him.
"Hurry up and eat," Ling Xiao said impatiently, "I'll let you, with your temper, who dares to marry you." “
Yun Xiu ate himself slowly and methodically, without refuting or speaking.
She didn't fight back, Ling Xiao was bored by herself, and raised her hand to wipe the egg yolk crumbs on the corner of her mouth: "Don't say anything in the future, hurt people, you know?" “
"You hurt me first." Yun Xiu burst out for a while.
"What am I hurting you?" Ling Xiao felt aggrieved, "No one has discussed with me about lifting people, I don't want to be angry?" Take a step back and lift up what you like, it's not Qin Ying's return to Beijing, what kind of side branch of the Qin family, things that are not on the table, I bothered to think about it. “
Yun Xiu squinted at him, "According to what you said, Qin Qingsu is the type you like, so I will accept it." “
"It's just a metaphor," Ling Xiao wanted to say too much and would lose, so he diverted the topic, "Last time I told you that the situation was unstable, not to bluff you, Balkhash Lake is the emperor's small test, this time he plans to take the eight cities of Yangguan border trade, saying that in the previous dynasty, he belonged to China's Liao region and could not be slaughtered by others." “
"Small cities are easy to capture," he said, "and the largest cities trade tens of thousands of people every day, and if you don't talk about attacking, you can slaughter the city for at least two days and two nights, and there will still be no resistance." Now that the prosperous world is peaceful, he came back alive and was crowned a knight, and when he died, Shangfeng took back the military power. “
Yun Xiu's heart sank when she heard this, and her face was worried: "Do you want to go?" “
"Oh, are you still afraid?" Ling Xiao pinched her face, "Don't you say that you only care about your son?" “
Yun Xiu blocked his hand, "I'm serious with you!" “
"Nope." After Ling Xiao finished eating, he got up and took the big gun, "I heard that it is snowing heavily in Yangguan now, and Stone is used to freezing to death in the suburbs, I only have one life, I have a daughter-in-law and a hot kang head, I don't want to toss blindly." “
"So you win over the Qin family and point to someone to come out?" Yun Xiu stayed down to put on his shoes and waited for him to dress, "But why do you have to let Qin Qingsu enter the door?" “
"Xiuxiu, not only do you endure it, but I also endure it," Ling Xiao touched her face, "When the first emperor died, a group of old ministers were withdrawn. The ministers betrayed the first emperor and were sick and confused, and listened to the slander of the ministers, headed by the Qin family, the hairpin family of the founding fathers, was not spared, and it will cause public anger. “
"Why?"
Ling Xiao: "Dingguo Gong said that the first emperor was not confused, he killed the ministers, and handed over the happy things to the new emperor to deal with. Second, once the son of heaven and a courtier, the important ministers who stripped their power were reactivated, reciting the grace of the new emperor, and bowing their heads to their ears. In order to consolidate the power of the new emperor, this is the beloved son of his parents, and his plans are far-reaching. “
Yun Xiu was puzzled: "General Qin returned to Beijing, and so far, he hasn't heard any news. “
"How can you take out the things you put in your purse so easily." Ling Xiao was about to go out, "The holy will is unpredictable, but the Qin family is inexplicably broken and will not be reconciled, so Qin Ying is desperate to get military merit." But I'm different, the Ling family is a rising star, rather than waiting to be served in a pot, it is better to disperse the power in my hands early. Once the emperor decides to go on the expedition, my father will not gamble with military power, the Qin family is safe, but the two families lack a bond. “
Qin Qingsu is this belt.
Ling Xiao said again: "It stands to reason. The side branch married her daughter, and the main vein could be managed or not, but this time Mrs. Wen sent a congratulatory gift. “
It shows that the Qin family agreed to form an alliance.
Yun Xiu digested these words and said bluntly: "What does my father-in-law mean, if Qin Ying goes on an expedition, we will offer part of our troops to prevent you from coming out, and he will triumph one day, and we will share the credit, in case of accidents, the loss of power will keep you safe." “
Ling Xiao: "Well, the foundation of the Ling family is not as good as that of the hundred-year-old family, and the emphasis is on Taoguang and obscurity." “
Understanding is understanding, Yun Xiu leaned into his chest and listened to the powerful heartbeat: "But I think my mother-in-law wants you to have a few more." “
"She sees others hugging her grandson all day long, and her eyes are inadequate," Ling Xiao patted her, "My father won't let me say what I said just now, but I don't want to hide it from you, you are a smart person, take care of your body now, don't think about breaking up, if you dare to beat me again, I guarantee that you won't get out of bed for two days, it's useless to beg." “
"You!"
Ling Xiao got cheap and behaved, took the opportunity to kiss and leave.
Seeing the opportunity, Chunliu slipped in and asked, "Grandma, are you moving back?" “
"Don't move," Yun Xiu thought for a moment, "Beiwu will be put first." “
Anyway, in a yard.
"Grandma," Chunliu saw that her face had improved a lot, and sighed, "The slave can see it, the little marquis is your all-purpose pill, what kind of brain fever and pain, a hundred cures." “
Yun Xiu glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense." “
Chunliu smiled and asked again, "The mother-in-law in the county lord's mother's house came to ask, are you going to see the little boy today?" “
The county lord of Pingkang took the initiative to ask, strange things, Yun Xiu looked at her: "Have you replied?" “
Chunliu shook her head: "The slave is waiting for you to show me." “
"I have a fever at night, tomorrow." Yun Xiu said, "You will ask your mother-in-law to bring the prepared small clothes over in a while, and wear those that can be worn now, and try again when the child is older." “
Spring willow went out in response.
Yun Xiu fell asleep at the end of the day, and she tossed for two days. Physically and mentally exhausted.
"Big grandma, big grandma."
Hearing someone call her in a daze, Yun Xiu snorted reluctantly, "Chunliu, what's the matter?" “
Chunliu knelt on the side of the bed and whispered, "Aunt Qin is here, I heard that you are sick, and I came to visit." “
"You want her back." Yun Xiu was in a good mood just now, and he didn't want people to poke his eye sockets, "Just say that my wind and cold have not healed, so as not to infect me." “
Chunliu sighed, and after going out for a while, she came in again, and her tone was not very good, "Grandma, Aunt Qin said she wouldn't leave." When you wake up, you have something important to discuss. “
"Then let her wait." Yun Xiu closed his eyes again, rolled into Ling Xiao's quilt, turned over and really fell asleep.
Today, the sun is out, and it is a little warmer, but the wind blowing through the courtyard blows on the face, and it is prickly and cold.
The maid behind Qin Qingsu couldn't stand it, and persuaded in a low voice: "Aunt Qin, grandma is sick, let's go back and wait." “
"Grandma is testing me." Qin Qingsu said no, "If you want to go back and go by yourself, I said that when she wakes up, her words will be true and her deeds will be fruitful, otherwise she will turn her head and tell the little marquis, and the little marquis will think that I am inconsistent." “
The maid is a subordinate of the Hou Mansion, and she is puzzled by this new aunt, "Auntie, the slave is kind, I am afraid that you will catch a cold, there is a little boy in the house of the county lord's mother, and no one will be allowed to bring illness into the house." “
"But you also heard what the county lord's mother said in the house just now," Qin Qingsu said, "If the eldest grandmother doesn't go, I will naturally pass on the word to tell me, neither can I let the county lord think that I have no eyesight, nor can I let the eldest grandmother think that I am not with her." “
It's normal for the aunt to be in the main room, but the maid wonders if the aunt is too anxious.
They waited for half an hour before Chunliu opened the door, "Aunt Qin, grandma is in good spirits this time, come in." “
The layout of the main house reveals the atmosphere of the hostess everywhere, Yun Xiu simply dresses up, sits on the couch, covers her legs with a white fox fur fur, coughs twice from time to time, and asks Chunliu to move the stool.
"What's the matter, I have to be in a hurry to say it today."
She had a gentle attitude, I don't know if she was sick or accepted the fact that she was carrying her aunt, the big stone in Qin Qingsu's heart fell, and she lowered her eyebrows and said: "The concubine is to pass the word to the grandmother for her mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law said that the day is too cold, and Brother Huan'er's full moon wine is changed to a 100-day banquet, so as not to freeze the child." “
"Mother-in-law wants you to pass the word?" The smile on the corner of Yun Xiu's mouth was a little colder, "Your aunt has an identity like a girl's mother-in-law, why are you here to spread the word and raise slaves?" “
Qin Qingsu's face was red and white when she said it, "The concubine hasn't thought about it yet, but the eldest grandmother has taught her a lesson." “
Yun Xiu smiled: "You are the aunt that your mother-in-law fancies, I don't dare to teach you a lesson, but I wrote down what you said, and when the little marquis comes back, I will discuss with him, and Ming'er will personally return when he sees Brother Huan as a child." “
A few words sent people away.
