Chapter 44: One Stone Stirs Up a Thousand Waves

"What did I force you?" Ling Xiao laughed out loud, "On the king's law, just because you just hit a few times, I will treat you with a big disrespect." “

Yun Xiu broke the jar and stretched out his two hands: "Master Hou will send the little girl to the yamen to be beaten now." “

"You have fine skin and tender meat, and you can't stand the beating." Ling Xiao stretched out his hand and brushed the hair on her ears and sideburns, "It's broken, what should I do if your old lady asks me to settle accounts?" “

"I deserved it." Yun Xiu peeled off her hairy hands and feet, got up and patted the ash on her skirt, "Master Hou is fine, the little girl is leaving." “

Ling Xiao sighed: "There is a Bao Opera this afternoon, what did you say and forget?" “

Yun Xiu didn't have a way, the steps she took were retracted, Zhongyi Hou couldn't lie on the ground, she could only kneel down and reply, "Master Hou wants to watch a play today, the little girl will accompany you, you get up first, change your clothes, the ground is cold." “

"Help me." Ling Xiao raised his right hand.

The tall and tall old men asked the girl to help, what could Yun Xiu say, she used her hands together to make the milk hard, and the other party did not move an inch.

Ling Xiao also urged: "You work hard." “

"Master Hou," Yun Xiu's face turned red, and he glanced at his injured hand, "Your injured hand." If you don't hurt your waist, you can't move. “

"I can't." Ling Xiao's expression was natural, "I just fell, I was at the bottom, and now my whole back hurts." “

Yun Xiu knew that he was holding back his badness, or because he was a "loyal and righteous marquis", he would like to step on his good hand and break it, break it and get injured, and become a paralyzed person.

But you can grit your teeth and only bite in your heart, and you have to deal with it on your face: "The little girl really can't pull it, or let your subordinates outside the door come in." “

As she spoke, she was about to get up, but Ling Xiao grabbed her wrist.

"Why don't you be teased?" He sat up effortlessly. Bent one leg up, "Don't be angry." “

What about the anger, how many girls don't say kiss, even if they climb the bed.

Marquis Zhongyi didn't ask Yun Fu to ask her to tell her fortunes.

I just jumped out of the window, I was confused, and now I feel ridiculous.

She really died, and probably no one was distressed except for her grandmother, who was sad.

My father is middle-aged, and Aunt Ding is just over thirty, so it is a big deal to regenerate, give birth to nine girls, and fill the hole of eight girls. It's nothing more than a number of tablets in the ancestral hall.

She died once, she should have been enlightened, why is she still drilling??

Yun Xiu sighed silently and shook his head lightly: "It's because I'm not interested, and I blame Hou Ye for showing love and doing stupid things to make Hou Ye laugh." “

Then she smiled at him and regained her senses: "Master Hou's clothes are dirty, and it is inconvenient for one hand, where to put the clothes, the little girl will serve you to dress." “

Ling Xiao said in the cabinet.

Yun Xiu took the top one, shook it off, spread it on the bed, and stood in front of Ling Xiao again, unbuttoning it for him.

She served Xie Zongren in her previous life, and then served Zhongyi Hou with ease.

Waiting for men to change clothes is particular, men often walk around outside, the lock is tighter, the unbuttoning can not be too light, too light can not be untied, tangled for a long time will lose his temper when encountering an acute child, and it can not be too heavy, too heavy and stupid, it is the mother's family did not teach well.

The belt is the same as the plaice belt, and the pendant cannot be stacked and collided when removed.

Ling Xiao spread his hands out, didn't feel anything, and put on his clean clothes.

Yun Xiu buttoned the button from his waist all the way to the neckline, changed a plain belt, arranged it around the front and back, and finally wiped the folds of the cuffs, and took two steps back, "Master Hou, the clothes have changed." “

Ling Xiao took a picture of the dressing bronze mirror next to the dresser, which was more meticulous than the girl who was waiting for the dressing in the Hou Mansion.

He glanced at Yun Xiu, who was standing behind him in the bronze mirror, and felt that he was a little angry.

On the way, the two of them rode in the same carriage, and Ling Xiao wanted to shake a white jade-like hand several times, but finally gave up.

Yun Xiu lifted the window screen all the way and looked out.

In fact, there is nothing to see outside, only Chun Tao, who is with the car, knows that her girl is in a bad mood.

She was guarding the door just now, and when she heard the movement in the house, she was in a hurry, and she couldn't get in in a hurry, but fortunately, when the eighth girl and Hou Ye came out together, the two were no different, but how did Zhongyi Hou change his clothes, he had to make people think about it.

The eighth girl should not have suffered any major grievances, otherwise the two would not have come out to watch the play.

"Girl, the slave maid saw your favorite pagoda cake on the side of the street, why don't you wrap a few pieces and be a snack when you watch the play for a while?" She asked outside the car.

Ling Xiao made the decision for Yun Xiu: "Go buy it." “

The carriage immediately stopped, and the entourage ran errands with Chun Tao, Ling Xiao listened to the movement outside, and changed positions to sit next to Yun Xiu.

Yun Xiu suddenly looked like a frightened bird, turned his head and stared wide-eyed, subconsciously hid back, and said in a regular manner: "Master Hou has something to ask." “

Ling Xiao thought about it, and felt that it was not his fault that there was a mistake: "When I'm angry, don't talk back." “

Yun Xiu brushed his hair: "Master Hou mentioned it." “

Started to prick, can't get in, and can't splash in.

Ling Xiao moved to the side, leaving a gap, and thought that it was not one person's fault, proving that he was also wrong: "I don't care about you, and you don't care." “

Yun Xiu glanced at him coolly, and his gaze returned to the outside of the window screen.

Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, and the flames in his heart were rising.

In the capital, when did he ever curry favor with a girl, how did he change the land boundary, and the first one, he didn't buy it?

If you don't buy it, people haven't said anything wrong, what can you do?

Ling Xiao sat back in his place because he was bored, staring at Qingli's side face, and suddenly thought of something, eight hundred miles of urgency has already entered Beijing, Qi Yuheng will not see death after reading the letter, but wait to go back and see his jokes.

Qi Yuheng is the second aunt of Yunfu, the third son of Dingguo Mansion, and he is blessed by his ancestors, and he is idle in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Although the second girl Yun Ying is spicy, she can also do it, and she helps her mother-in-law manage the food and clothing of a large family in the mansion on weekdays, and the housekeeper, some people sing red faces, some people sing black faces, and her mother-in-law has the title of Mrs. Yipin, she has to be a virtuous example, and someone has to do things that offend people.

Qi Yuheng was also submissive to her: "Madam, you said Ling Xiao's letter, will I reply or not?" “

"What do you want back?" Yun Ying flipped through the account book in one hand and held the pen in the other. didn't look up, "The words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, the eighth sister has a grandmother in charge, don't mix it blindly." “

"I'm not involved." Qi Yuheng said, "But the old marquis is my godfather, and Ling Xiao is my iron, so I am embarrassed to sit and watch." “

"I'm embarrassed to sit and watch, so I'll sit down and watch." Yun Ying drew a circle on the ledger, "As far as Ling Xiao's temperament is concerned, whether he is compatible with the eighth sister or not, our sisters were both taught by our grandmother, can we still teach one square and one circle?" “

Qi Yuheng spoke for Tiezi: "I don't think there's anything wrong with Ling Xiao, it's just??"

He considered the vocabulary, "High-minded and arrogant, yes, that is, arrogant, I think the eighth sister speaks and behaves in a proper manner, and it is easy to get along." “

"How do you understand arrogance?" Yun Ying stopped what she was doing and squinted at him, "You have read to the belly of a dog, and arrogance and arrogance mean it in your eyes." “

"Madam, if you scold me, scold me, don't scold Mr. together, it's insulting." Qi Yu Hengji was extremely patient, "Why don't you write a letter to your grandmother and find out?" I think Ling Xiao is very serious this time, he is in his twenties, and there is no one around to take care of him, my godmother is in a hurry. “

"You don't come to this set." Yun Ying frowned, "He doesn't have a daughter-in-law in his twenties, who is to blame?" Oh, you're in a hurry, take my sister to make up the hole? Bullying my mother's family has no power? Qi Sanye, you either walk birds or tease dogs every day, don't worry about the big and small things in the house, are you idle? Don't think I don't know, the marriage contract between the Ling and Li families has been dissolved. I haven't figured it out until now. “

"Hey, let's say that Ling Xiao and Eighth Sister, how did they go to the Ling and Li families." Qi Yuheng also felt that he had a lot to say, "Ling Xiao is kind intentions, thinking that the eighth sister has never been to Yanjing, he will return at the end of the month, so bring someone over by the way, you sisters get together, and others will also think about you." “

Yun Ying didn't sell it: "Come on, is he bringing the eighth sister alone, or is he bringing his grandmother and the sixth sister together?" You men don't care about anything else, and the mind of coaxing the girl is like a leek. “

Qi Yuheng didn't understand: "Why are you pulling leeks again?" Please make it clear to your wife. “

Yun Ying: "Cut stubble after stubble, cheap." “

Qi Yuheng: "??"

Gotta blame him for owing it.

Yun Ying has a spicy temperament, he doesn't want to say anything, he has to clean up after lighting the gun.

But Ling Xiao thought about it and wanted to bring the girl back, the first time.

He didn't know how the two met, so he felt that fate was quite amazing.

??

As for Yun Xiu, she didn't pay attention to what she was singing on stage, she remembered that she ordered "The Edge of the Cabinet" at the beginning, telling the story of Yue Fei's son Yue Lei, why is this the Yang family's general Shilang visiting his mother?

She pulled herself together and shifted slightly in her chair. Change to a more comfortable position.

Chun Tao brought the pagoda cake to her and asked in a low voice, "Girl, are you tired?" I've been absent-minded since I came in. “

Yun Xiu glanced at the open seat next door, and Ling Xiao listened energetically: "A little, wait a little longer." “

"After watching the play, are we still going to buy leather?" Chun Tao said, "It's too late. “

"Forget it today, let's go tomorrow." Yun Xiu thought for a while and asked, "What will Master Hou arrange for a while?" “

"The slave doesn't know." Chun Tao replied, "I just heard Master Hou tell his subordinates that if he doesn't go back tonight, he will make other arrangements, and I don't know what to arrange." “

Yun Xiu was tired all day and didn't have the heart to guess, "That's it, let's act when the opportunity arises." “

As Chun Tao predicted, the group came out after watching the play, and it was dark.

Ling Xiao was a little hungry and wanted to find a special restaurant in Yangzhou to eat snacks.

Yun Xiu took the opportunity to say: "Master Hou wants to eat Yangzhou cuisine, it is better to come to the house, although the chef's skills are not as good as those in the big restaurant, it is more expensive, and Master Hou has to be jealous, and the chefs outside don't care about it." “

This step has both face and lining, and it is not deliberate, Ling Xiao is quite satisfied: "Okay, just go to the house to disturb for a few days, it just so happens that I still have business to find Yun Yushi." “

Yun Zhidong didn't expect Yun Xiu to come out and really invited Zhongyi Hou.

At the same time, for the sake of this life-saving grace, Yun Zimo and Yun Zixuan were called to accompany Hou Ye to drink tea.

A table of four people chatted until the end of the day.

When Yunzhidong returned to the house, Ding Meisheng was concerned, "Master, why did you invite Master Hou to the house?" What if he holds a grudge and settles accounts with a concubine? “

"Fool, when will it be your turn to intervene in the affairs of the lords." Yun Zhidong reprimanded, "Now that Hou Ye has helped the Yamen handle a big case, I am afraid that people have not returned to Beijing, and the excerpt will be handed over first, how many people will not be able to stammer, to tell you the truth, if Hou Ye really cares about your mistakes, don't blame me for being ruthless." “

"The concubine will never dare to make another incident." Ding Meisheng hurriedly knelt down, hugged his legs, and begged, "For the sake of the eldest prince and the seventh girl, the master spared the concubine this time, and really wanted to arrest the concubine. “

Yun Zhidong ate her: "Okay, okay, why bother in the first place, if you don't look at the two children all these years, it won't be your turn to continue the strings, you get up and speak first." “

"Thank you, sir." Ding Meisheng hurriedly got up, knelt on the ground and pinched his legs, his eyes rolled, "The concubine has a lot of mouths and asks questions that shouldn't be asked, the last time the people from the yamen came, they also commended the eight girls, so the eight girls are also in Daming Temple with the Marquis of Zhongyi?" “

"What do you want to say?" Cloud Cave asked with a snort.

Ding Meisheng continued: "Before Xiao Wu was the messenger of the eighth girl and Hou Ye, the concubine felt strange, do you think Hou Ye will be true??"

I thought about the eight girls.

I can't explain this, but I know it.

"Whether it's true or not, you have to pass the old lady's level." Yun Zhidong was cautious, "Although I was born in the imperial examination, I am not prominent or glorious until now, and the girls and boys in the family are not as good as the big families in the capital, but there is no one in Yangzhou who does not give the Yun family a thin face." “

"That's what the lord said." Ding Meisheng said in passing, "Whether you marry a girl or a daughter-in-law, you can't be bad, let alone make jokes." “

Yun Zhidong woke her up: "In the future, how will Zhongyi Hou treat the eight girls, don't mention this kind of thing, especially don't talk nonsense with your good sister, if I hear rumors from the salt road again, don't blame me for not thinking about love and using family law." “

"The master really wronged the concubine," Ding Meisheng pounced on him, "The concubine is just a good thing to say, as for Mrs. Xue, she hasn't been here for a while." “

Just because someone else doesn't come doesn't mean she can't go.

The two made an appointment in the teahouse, and after Aunt Xue heard what happened in Yunfu, she sighed twice: "Your eighth girl is also a bold girl, she picked up a life from the knife, and changed me, and she was scared early." “

Ding Meisheng snorted coldly: "You naturally can't compare with her, don't talk about you, looking at the whole Yangzhou, how many girls are more ruthless than her, wilder than her?" “

paused, "One of her, one of the second girls, you don't see much, the second girl is the true legend of the old lady, she has a spicy temperament, she is crazy, even the master is afraid of her, fortunately she married early." “

Aunt Xue told her to stop: "Your eighth girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp, I think she is enough for you to drink a pot." “

"I'm afraid of her?" Ding Meisheng would have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, "If it weren't for the old lady, if I didn't treat her to death, if it weren't for her, my sister-in-law wouldn't be so sick." “

"Your sister-in-law is also pitiful." Aunt Xue sighed, "She's been getting better lately, have you finished eating the supplements I sent?" “

"The doctor said it was not appropriate to make up for it." Ding Meisheng replied, "Don't go to the house for a while, so as not to touch the old man's head." “

Aunt Xue's tone became sour: "There are distinguished guests living in the house, and even my sister is estranged. “

"Look at what you're talking about." Ding Meisheng added tea to her, "Sister, you and I came over, the master invited the third and fourth to invite the master, please don't come, the eighth girl accompanied someone to watch a scene, so she changed her tone, you still don't understand this?" “

"Your eight girls still accompany others to watch the play?" Aunt Xue smiled meanly, "I'm going to watch the play everywhere, don't you want to climb into bed, fox." “

Ding Meisheng was worried: "What's the use of talking about this now, she is going to climb the bed and really climb up, what should I do if I turn around and rely on the identity of Mrs. Hou Fu to find fault?" “

"You are the lady of the Hou Mansion is full of radish and cabbage," Aunt Xue asked her to reassure, "The second girl of your family is the best to marry, but she is only the third child of the Dingguo Mansion, and she is not the one in charge of the family, why should such a good thing fall on the head of the eighth girl." “

"I don't want her to climb high branches, but not necessarily." Ding Meisheng was all worried, "The master doesn't say it on the surface, but in fact, I wish that the two girls would marry as high as possible, and I have been with him all these years, and I can see it." I also figured it out, I am also a daughter, even if my sister-in-law is healthy, I still can't compare to my sister-in-law. “

Aunt Xue: "So you don't think about the seven girls now, you have to run for Zixuan's future, he will become the eldest son in the future, your mother is expensive by her son, and the old lady will be an ancient sooner or later, and then you will be in charge." “

"When the time comes, we will talk about it later." Ding Meisheng sighed, and asked as if she wanted something, "Did you say something last time you went back, and then the master lost his temper." “

"What can I say." Aunt Xue took a sip of tea calmly, "I'm just a couple of salt merchants' wives." “

Finish pulling the home. I'm sure I'll have to talk about it again when I go home.

Ding Meisheng hurriedly stopped: "My good sister, Zhongyi Hou, don't go to the house, in case it is spread out of shape, and then it reaches the ears of the Hou Ye, you and I can't eat and walk around." “

Aunt Xue told her to put her heart in her stomach, "Your sister, I'm not stupid, do you dare to talk nonsense if you lose your head." “

Ding Meisheng told again: "Anyway, you remember." “

The so-called one stone stirs up a thousand waves.

From the first day that Marquis Zhongyi lived in Yunfu, all the courtyards were spread, and there were lamps and fires.

As soon as Yun Xiu entered Hui Shou Hall, Fang's mother stood at the door to greet her.

"Is grandmother sober?" She asked.

"Thankfully, the girl is back." Mother Fang's heart fell to the ground, "The old lady woke up last night and knew that she was hungry. Knowing that he was thirsty, he also asked about the girl, and the old slave reported the hour, saying that the girl was asleep, so she didn't make a fuss. “

Yun Xiu was also relieved: "Did the doctor come this morning, what do you say?" “

Fang's mother nodded: "It's still a person from the Ye family, I have seen it, and I have also changed the prescription, and told the old lady to pay attention to the diet list, not to eat too much fishy meat, even to eat less eggs, and to avoid sweets and snacks, and also said that when you are old, your body is naturally not as good as before, and you can take proper maintenance." “

"Isn't Grandmother a vegetarian?" Yun Xiu wondered, "Why do you still need a diet list?" “

Fang's mother sighed when she heard this: "The girl doesn't know, the old lady doesn't want to eat vegetarian every day since the beginning of spring this year, except for the fifteenth day of the first month of the new year, fasting for three days, the rest of the time is not taboo, but she doesn't eat big meat food, she wants to drink chicken soup, and she takes a nap every day to drink a cup." “

Yun Xiu couldn't cry or laugh: "Drink every day, aren't you tired?" “

Fang's mother had a helpless expression: "The old lady is clamoring to drink, and the old slave can't help it." “

"Okay, I'll go in and persuade Grandmother." Yun Xiu entered the back room and saw that the old lady's complexion had recovered well.

"Grandmother." She called softly, moved her pestle and sat on the edge of the bed, "My granddaughter has come to see you, do you feel good, is there anything uncomfortable?" “

"I'm fine," the old lady grabbed her hand and patted it, "I felt like I had a long dream, and when I woke up at night, I saw Fang's mother crying." “

Yun Xiu peeled off a pipa and put it on the old lady's hand: "You have been confused for several days, and everyone in the house is frightened." “

"I heard that you went to Daming Temple to pray for me?" The old lady took a bite and called it sweet, "So far away." You are a girl running around and making trouble. “

Yun Xiu reported good news but not bad news: "Grandmother, granddaughter is in a hurry, and she asks for the blessing of the Bodhisattva if she has no choice." “

"It's hard for you." The old lady wiped her hands and said something else, "Your father came to eat with me in the morning, and said that the Marquis of Zhongyi lived in the mansion, when did he invite him?" “

The old lady was sick, and her heart was fine.

Yun Xiu said vaguely: "Just these two days, it was my father's idea. “

"Your father has dealings with the Privy Council on official business, but he and the Marquis of Zhongyi are no more than nodding friends." The old lady asked, "If you look at the face of the second aunt, why don't you stay in the house on the day you come to Yangzhou?" Only now? “

"I don't know this either." Yun Xiu could only pretend to be confused, "My father has always only discussed with my grandmother and never told us. “

That's right, "But listen to your father, because the Marquis of Zhongyi was injured and needed someone to take care of him, how did he get injured?" Yangzhou City is quite stable, not to mention that he brought an entourage and knows martial arts, who can hurt him? “

The old lady is really an old man, and she hit the nail on the head, asking every point.

Yun Xiu couldn't help but sweat, she couldn't say that Zhongyi Hou was injured to save her.

Why save her, because of solving the case.

Why did he solve the case, because he had a dispute with his father.

No matter which one is known by the old lady, she is scolded and beaten for a small matter, and she is afraid that the old man will be angry again.

"Why don't you speak?" How could the old lady not know her careful thoughts.

Yun Xiu hesitated and decided not to say: "Grandmother, how is Master Hou injured, my father doesn't say it, and we don't dare to ask, maybe he will come to see you tomorrow, you personally ask him how he is doing." “

The old lady looked at her meaningfully, "Okay, I'll ask him." “

Yun Xiu rarely felt that sitting in Huishoutang was a kind of torment, and when she came out, the wind blew, and she found that she was sweating.

Chun Tao saw that her face was not good, and when she entered the house, she asked, "Girl, did the old lady ask something?" “

Yun Xiu: "You go to boil water first, I'll wash my hair, let's talk while washing." “

Spring peach responded, mashed the soaphorn, shou wu, and tea seeds and soaked them in water, and waited to wash their hair.

Yun Xiu said a rough idea, sighing: "I thought that there would be nothing to do with me when Marquis Zhongyi came to the mansion, but I didn't expect to have to pass the grandmother's pass." “

"Why don't you talk to Master Hou about a unified statement." Chun Tao sighed, "The old lady has a mirror in her heart, up and down the house, no one dares to lie in front of her old man, and she always feels that those eyes can see through her heart." “

Needless to say, Yun Xiu also knew, "That's the only way to do it." “

Thinking about it, he asked again: "Will Master Hou go to Jiu'an Hall tomorrow to change the dressing, or will the doctor of the Ye family come over, is the carriage arranged?" “

Chun Tao didn't want to arrange it: "The girl simply asked Hou Ye to choose leather tomorrow, and then went to Jiu'an Hall to change the dressing, and went back and forth on the road, and it was enough time to discuss anything." “

That's an idea.

"I'm also concerned about chaos, and I'm messing up on my head." Yun Xiu made up her mind.
