Chapter 21: The Son of a Thousand Gold

When Su Mengtang saw He San, he immediately regained his usual calm, and said: It's not good to keep her hungry, let someone cook some food for her. He San took the order to go out, and Ziyu said: Girl, the sun is about to set, do you want to let the kitchen open, the two little masters are tossing today, I'm afraid they are already hungry. Su Mengtang said: It's okay, let them make some sweet and sour food, the children have injuries on their bodies, and they have to eat some astringent. Ziyu went to the kitchen with Ziwen, and Su Mengtang suddenly said to Yunhua: Brother Yunhua, I coaxed Qiuqiu to sleep last night, and I saw a scar under her forehead, it seems that it was not long ago, was Qiuqiu also injured in Taibai Peak before? ”

Yun Hua was afraid that Su Mengtang would be worried, so he didn't mention it, and when he saw that she took the initiative to ask, he said: "That day, I heard that Qingzhou was poisoned, I hurriedly sent a letter to Sister Ou, asking her to take care of it, the letter was seen by Xiaoqiu, this child is honest, I once told her that the soil poria on the mountain can be detoxified, she secretly went up the mountain to collect medicine without telling me, but stepped on the mountain rock and fell, broke her head, and fainted herself, and then lay in bed for three days before waking up. Su Mengtang was shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Why don't you trust me about such a big thing?" Yunhua lowered his head as if he had done something wrong and was criticized by his husband and said: "When Xiaoqiu was injured in a fall, her pulse was dangerous, and I had no skills, so I could only guard her; Later, the pulse stabilized, and the fever subsided, so naturally he was fine, so he didn't tell outsiders. ”

Su Mengtang said with a wry smile: "It turns out that in Brother Yunhua's heart, we are all outsiders. Yun Hua hurriedly explained: "How could it be, I lost my words, how Miss Su has treated me all these years, I remember it in my heart, and I will never treat the girl as an outsider." When Su Mengtang heard Yunhua say this, a warm current surged in his heart, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Then Xiaoqiu's body is all right now?" Yunhua looked in the direction of Nuan Ge with a trace of concern, and said in a low voice: "When I first woke up, some people didn't remember people, didn't remember things, and their personalities were not the same as before, but now they are much better." Su Mengtang said: "No wonder I heard Xiaoqiu just speak like an adult, and I thought it was two years since I saw the child, but I didn't expect it to be caused by injury." Yunhua nodded and said: "Sister Xiaoou has calculated a hexagram for Qiu'er, she should have this catastrophe in her life, and she can't hide it." Su Mengtang said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Yunhua would now also start believing in this Taoist fortune-telling." Yunhua shook his head and smiled: "I originally believed that the good and evil of the Buddhist family are rewarded, but Brother Zhao Hong is so good that he can't avoid the disaster of killing, and then I don't believe it." When Su Mengtang heard this, there was no smile on his face, and the two of them didn't speak again, looking at the small courtyard outside Lan Zexuan together, and it darkened little by little.

Then the kitchen brought the food, and Su Mengtang ordered the banquet to be held in Lan Zexuan. Zifeng found Tong Ning'er, Ziyu and Ziwen, who were wandering around the villa, to wake up Qiuqiu and Ximen March. Simon didn't wake up in March, he was called by the purple vein, hummed and cried, saying that his stomach hurt for a while, and his head hurt for a while, but he refused to get up. Ziwen was helpless, pointed at Qiuqiu and said: Your Qiu'er sister is up, if you don't go to eat, she won't go either. March sat up and said: When did I say I wouldn't go, but I was uncomfortable and wanted to lie down for a while. Qiuqiu smiled and stretched out her hand to him and said: Lie down for a while and the food will be cold, let's go quickly.

After Simon served the table, he found that the table was full of sweet and sour foods that he loved to eat on weekdays, and suddenly forgot about the stomachache and headache, and began to eat it in a big gulp. Tong Ning'er looked at it for a while, and said to Ximen March: "Xiao Ximen, you eat so fast, won't you want to sneak away where to play for a while." Ximen glanced up at Tong Ning'er while eating, and said: Aunt Tong will make fun of me, and I won't go out to play when it's dark. Su Mengtang was putting the fish soup into a bowl for Qiuqiu and Ximen, and when she heard Ximen's words, she remembered that she was teased about by Tong Ning'er in the afternoon, and said, "Your Aunt Tong is not good at making fun of you, even me and your Uncle Yunhua have not been spared." After saying that, he glared at Tong Ning'er with disgust. Tong Ning'er smiled: What I said is just the truth, if I see everyone and say it, why don't I say Qiuqiu?

Qiuqiu was suddenly named, and looked at Tong Ning'er a little blankly: Right now, Tong Ning'er had already changed out of her night clothes and wore a long-sleeved gown of stone blue, which was a skirt of autumn fragrance, which looked very elegant. Tong Ning'er said to Qiuqiu: "Xiaoqiu, Aunt Tong is going to talk about you today." Qiuqiu opened her eyes wide and looked at Tong Ning'er pretending to be serious, Yunhua and Su Mengtang also looked at Tong Ning'er, and heard her say: "You can't leave adults in the future, and go to a strange place to play by yourself, you know?" There is a saying that 'the son of a daughter cannot sit down', which means that people must protect themselves and not put themselves in danger, understand? Qiuqiu smiled: "I understand, Aunt Tong." I'll eat a trench and grow wise. Tong Ning'er immediately praised Qiuqiu with a smile, and gave Qiuqiu a large piece of sweet and sour fish: she felt that the child in front of her, although he was only eight years old, spoke and spoke like an adult.

After eating, a reminder sounded outside, and for a time the villa was brightly decorated with lights. In Lan Zexuan, everyone was busy all day, and at this time, they were tired and tired, so Su Mengtang asked Zifeng to take care of Tong Ning'er and return to Chongxiao Zhai; Ziyu took care of Yunhua and went back to Cuizhai, leaving Ziwen and Ziruo in front of him, playing with the two children. Qiuqiu saw that there were Go pieces in Su Mengtang's boudoir, so she asked Ximen March: Brother March, do you know how to play backgammon? March asked rhetorically: Is it a five-son Lianzhu? Qiuqiu smiled: That's right, let's play. So the two of them took their own hands and set up a position at the table.

Su Mengtang saw that the two children were so serious, and she also sat aside to watch the battle, and after watching for a while, she saw some doorways: Ximen March was too competitive, and always wanted to find another way to connect into five sons, but Qiuqiu intended to block and block all the roads in Ximen March, and she quietly surrounded herself, connecting them together, creating opportunities for herself. After a few sets, it turned out to be Qiuqiu's complete victory, and Ximen's total defeat. Simon looked at Su Mengtang with a sad face, and Su Mengtang said to him: A manly man, you can afford to lose. Ximen nodded and said, "Xiao Qiu'er, let's play another game."

At this time, Ziruo came over with tea and whispered to Su Mengtang: Girl, it's almost the second watch, and the slave maid will wait for the girl to rest, and she will rush to the Art of War Hall to guard and replace Bihu. Su Mengtang was afraid that his words would affect the chess game, so he pulled Ziruo aside and said: "Thank you for your hard work, although my Zhuangzi is big, only a few of you can be trusted, so you have worked hard." Ziruo's eyes suddenly sparkled, and she said: "Don't say that, girl, we are all hard-working people, and we will enjoy happiness since we beat the girl." I was the servant of the criminal officer's family, and I didn't know where I was going to be sold, but thanks to the lord who bought me back, I was allowed to follow the girl, so that I would not fall into those pickled places. We are girls, we can die, this little hard work is nothing. Su Mengtang said: "Good girl, if you do this for me, I will naturally not treat you badly." For now, I'll let Ziwen take care of it here, so you can go over quickly. Zi Ruo was a little puzzled: "Ziwen wants to take the little young master back to Sosi Zhai, who will take care of the girl?" Su Mengtang smiled and glanced back at Qiuqiu and March, and said: "I see that they are fascinated by playing, I don't know how late they have to play chess, and they will sleep here with me when they are tired of playing." Leave purple lines on it. Zi Ruo also laughed and said, "The slave will go over now."

After Ziruo left, Su Mengtang sat down and watched chess for a while, but she felt more and more uneasy, she asked Ziwen: "When the lights were lit just now, were the lights in each courtyard all in place?" "Purple Stripe Dao: It's Qi. Su Mengtang wondered: "Aren't Chai Wu guarding the Art of War Hall, why are their lights also in order?" Ziwen said: "I asked Bihu, when the lamp was lit, He San and the two family members were guarding, Sister Bihu went back and took the little girls to light the Liudan Pavilion, Brother Chai and Brother Pan went up to the city wall, and then they came back, and they went to He San." Therefore they are all together, and they have not fallen. Su Mengtang frowned and said: I feel uneasy in my heart, but don't make any mistakes. Ziwen said with relief: There are only a few of them in that place, and outsiders can't get by. This sentence woke Su Mengtang up, and she suddenly asked, "No, what about the rice, who sent the rice?" ”
