Bai Ling was also slightly stunned when she heard Fang Hanniang ask like this, and she tried hard to remember what was unusual last night.

After a while, Bai Ling hesitated and said, "It seems to be ...... It seems that I once smelled a scent last night...... It's just that because the little boy was seriously ill last night, there were a lot of maids who came and went to serve before, maybe it was the fragrance they left behind......"

Fang Hanniang didn't speak, and the fragrance was ...... Incense is often used in the house, and the maids also use incense powder, hair oil, etc., all with incense.

Seeing Fang Hanniang pondering like this, Qiu Zhu chuckled in her heart, her face changed, she lowered her voice, and asked anxiously: "Girl, could it be that the death of that little boy, what else is wrong?" ”

When Bai Ling heard this, he was also shocked.

If there is really anything strange, then, doesn't she have to go out of the house?

Bai Ling looked at Fang Hanniang with some eagerness.

Fang Hanniang shook her head slightly, and said comfortingly: "No, I'm just a little strange, and there is no basis, don't think about it." ”

Bai Ling hung his head in disappointment.

Fang Hanniang asked some Bailing some other things, and seeing that Bailing's words were full of confusion, she couldn't ask what two and three came from, but became more and more nervous, so she stopped the topic, changed the conversation, and said directly: "...... If your family is out of the house, there is nowhere to go. There is a small village outside my city, if you don't dislike it, you can take shelter for the time being, and then plan for the future. ”

Bai Ling's excited eyes were red, and he immediately knelt down for Fang Hanniang, and kept kowtowing: "Girl, girl is really a living Bodhisattva...... The slave and maid's family are willing to make cows and horses for the girl......"

Qiu Zhu also knelt down on the side, wiping her tears, her gratitude overflowing.

Fang Hanniang sighed in her heart, it was just a trivial matter for her, but for others, it might be a matter of life and death.

Fang Hanniang helped Qiuzhu and Baiyi up, and said to Lily: "I'll write a note in a while, stamp it with my private seal, you take it and go to Guiquan Zhuangzi outside the North City Gate, find the steward on Zhuangzi, show him the note, and he will know what to do." ”

Lily was grateful and wanted to kneel down for Fang Hanniang, Fang Hanniang was a little distressed by kneeling today, and stopped Lily with a quick hand, and couldn't help but say: "Stop, stop, kneel again, I won't write a note." ”

As a result, Lily was frightened by Fang Hanniang's joke, and her body froze there and didn't know what to do.

Fang Hanniang was also speechless, Qiu Zhu was in tears, and said with a sneer: "Girl, don't scare Lily, she has suddenly suffered such a big change, and she is already a master of the six gods." ”

Fang Hanniang said sincerely: "It's me who is not good. ”

As a result, Lily looked at Fang Hanniang with wide eyes as if she had seen a ghost.

Where has she ever seen such a master!

Fang Hanniang touched her nose and turned around to go to the study to write a note.

Well, if she doesn't speak, she can't do it.

Qiu Zhu glanced at Lily soothingly, and then hurriedly followed Fang Hanniang and helped her add water and ink.

Fang Hanniang finished writing the note and glanced at Qiu Zhu.

Qiu Zhu Zhiji took the key and opened a box, took out a silk purse from it, and then carefully took out a seal from the purse.

Fang Hanniang opened the clay box on the desk, and said with a smile: "Sister Qiuzhu still understands me and knows that I want to use this square seal." While pressing the ink with the seal, he stamped it on the small note.

Qiu Zhu pursed her lips and smiled, probably because most of the things that were pressed on her heart were solved, she was in a much lighter mood, and she had the heart to let Bailing miss Fang Hanniang's kindness again, and specially mentioned Bailing and said: "...... Sister Bailing, this seal is a seal that my girl only uses when she buys some private property on weekdays. On weekdays, this cover is at least a thousand taels of business. ”

Bai Ling was grateful: "The girl's kindness to the slave and maid's family, the slave and maid's family are toothless and unforgettable, and they are willing to make cows and horses for the girl......"

Fang Hanniang really doesn't need the Bailing family to be grateful to her, although she is not a virgin, but within the scope of her ability, she may be able to save the life of the family by raising her hand, why not?

Qiu Zhu sent Bai Ling out, Fang Hanniang stood in place for a while, shook her head, and went back to bed to lie down and take a nap.

……

What happened in the Pingguo Mansion in the past two days naturally did not hide it from the other houses.

Because this is a private matter that is stained with the back house, Ping Guogong is not good at saying anything about the second brother's confusion. It's just that after Ping Guogong heard that his second brother's outer room died of illness, he was slightly stunned and shook his head.

The prince of Pingguo privately told An Pingweng to let her restrain several children in the past few days, and the wind and snow were good, so don't let them go out.

One is afraid that the children will freeze, and the other is afraid that the children will be young and encounter this kind of thing for the first time, and then something bad will happen.

Naturally, the third room also heard about this foolish incident in the second room.

The third lady Mo came from a scholarly family, and she has always been ashamed of such things as raising an outsider. Back then, Mrs. Mo San married Ruan San, and a large part of the reason was the Ruan family's family rule "A man can still accept a concubine if he has no children at forty".

Mrs. Mo San expressed her dissatisfaction with Master Ruan San, but this dissatisfaction was also very subtle and euphemistic: "Second brother is not very authentic in doing this. The second sister-in-law worked hard to give birth to the fifth child for him, and she had to raise a small one outside. ”

There is a sentence that Mrs. Mo San didn't say, the child went at such a young age, and it can't be said that it was because of the evil made by the adult.

The third master Ruan was silent for a long time, and then said a little silently: "Actually, the second brother is not easy, our family is not rich in heirs, and the fifth brother of the second brother's family is in that situation...... Although I also feel sorry for Bai'er, you also know Bai'er's situation, in case there is a bad one, the second brother's branch can't be broken. Master Ruan San paused and sighed.

Mrs. Mo San was speechless, so she had to make up her mind, no matter what, the child who died early was innocent, and she wanted to copy a few Buddhist scriptures for the child, and burn them in front of the spirit when the time came.

In private, Mrs. Mo's two daughters-in-law, Grandma Qiu Er, and Grandma Li Si reacted completely differently.

Grandma Qiu Er knew how Second Mrs. An ran for Ruan Chubai's future a few days ago, she was also a mother, and she understood the difficulty of Second Mrs. An, and her husband, Second Young Master Ruan, said with emotion: "Fortunately, we have two children under our knees, you don't want to take a concubine in this life." ”

Second Young Master Ruan smiled: "There is a tigress at home, how dare you take a concubine!" ”

Grandma Qiu Er frowned coldly: "Forgive you for not having the guts!" ”

Grandma Li Si was terrified. It has been more than three years since she married Ruan Chuli, the fourth young master Ruan, and it will be another year soon, and it will already be four years after turning over this year.

It's been four years and I haven't had children yet. Grandma Li Si felt a little restless when she thought of this.

Although the head of the family, whether it is her father-in-law, mother-in-law, or concubine, has not said anything about this matter, there is a hurdle in her heart.

Now that I heard about Second Master Ruan raising an outer room outside, I couldn't help but feel a little afraid in my heart, as if Fourth Young Master Ruan would also follow in the footsteps of Second Master Ruan, raise an outer room, and have an illegitimate child......

Grandma Li Si was panicked and pale.

Due to the heavy wind and snow, many yamen in the capital have taken a vacation. Fourth Young Master Ruan Chuli happened to be at home, discussing things with Fourth Grandma Li and discussing a few words, seeing that Fourth Grandma Li was uncertain and absent-minded, she called her a few words, but instead showed a worried look and looked at Fourth Young Master Ruan in horror.

Ruan Chuli wondered in her heart, why did her daughter-in-law look like this.

Under Ruan Chuli's repeated questioning, Grandma Li Si said what she thought in her heart: "In case I can't give birth, you, will you also be like the second uncle, raising an outer room outside......

Ruan Chuli was speechless, he was a little unhappy, and felt that Grandma Li Si didn't trust him, but he still suppressed his temper and patiently explained: "Didn't the family rules say? Our Ruan family man is forty childless before he can take a concubine, why should I raise an outer room, if you really can't give birth, then wait for me to be forty, you can find a woman with a dignified character from your maid, or from the outside, and will not cause trouble in the back house. It's not a big deal! ”

Grandma Li Si felt very sour in her heart when she heard this, and she wiped her tears: "You are ready to take a concubine......"

Ruan Chuli was also a little stunned when she saw Grandma Li Si start wiping her tears as she spoke.

However, Ruan Chuli was not an impatient person, Grandma Li Si cried like this, he let out a long sigh, and was about to persuade a few more words, when he saw Grandma Li Si's expression turned pale, and she fainted holding her chest.

At this moment, the third room was also in chaos.

Mrs. Mo San fainted when she heard that Grandma Li Si had an argument with her son for a few words, and sighed in her heart, feeling that this daughter-in-law was too cranky.

The look is a little unpleasant.

Qiu Er's grandmother heard that Yu Jiao had fainted, so she hurried over, and saw that her mother-in-law looked anxious and worried, and there seemed to be something that she was not very satisfied with Li Si's grandmother, so she whispered to Mrs. Mo San: "Although the fourth brother and sister love to think more, but she has no bad intentions, and she is very easy to get along with, mother, I think the fourth brother and sister are like this, it is much better than those who love to pinch the tip and take Qiao." ”

Mrs. Mo San felt that what Grandma Qiu Er said made some sense, and her expression softened a little.

Fortunately, there is a doctor in the house, and it is convenient to call the doctor to come for diagnosis.

After the doctor came over, he checked the pulse of Grandma Li Si, who had fainted.

It's just that his expression was a little serious, and he leaned over again and took the other hand of Grandma Li Si.

The fourth young master, Ruan Chuli, was about to pinch his heart when he saw it.

Could this be some serious illness?

As a result, he was still worried, and he saw a little smile on the doctor's serious face: "Congratulations to the third lady, congratulations to the fourth young master." The fourth grandmother has a body, and it has been a month. ”

What the?

The people in the third room who were smashed by this news were a little dizzy.

Especially the fourth young master, Ruan Chuli, he asked the doctor in a daze: "What did you just say?" ”
