Chapter 7: The Dark Stinger
Suddenly, her eyes were a little moist, and when she was reborn, she had always wanted to find Duanmulin, but she had never had the chance, but she didn't want to meet it here.
Seeing her hesitant expression, Duanmu Qing reacted, Duanmu Su at this time in this life has no relationship with her, thinking of this, he hurriedly pressed his mind, tried to slow down his expression, and made himself look more natural.
"Why is the fourth sister staying here on a hot day?"
Duanmusu had no choice at this time, he couldn't take care of it, and as soon as his eyes blinked, tears fell down in a stream, "Big sister, aunt...... My aunt is dying. ”
She remembered that it was this year that Duanmusu's biological mother Aunt Huang also died, and the next year on Aunt Huang's death day, she hid in the corner and secretly burned paper money, which was discovered by her, and she remembered Qiu Tian to feel pity.
Duanmusu is not from the second room, she is the concubine of the third uncle Duanmuyi, and at that time, Duanmuqing had been predicted by the national teacher as the fate of Tianfeng, so when she opened her mouth and wanted Duanmusu to accompany her, the third aunt agreed without saying anything.
"Why don't you find a doctor? What are you doing here? ”
Hearing her sister's voice was stern, but with concern, Duanmusu was like a drowning person who caught a piece of driftwood, "Big sister, help me, my mother said that now Aunt Li is in charge of the middle feed in the house, and I have something to ask me to find Aunt Li, but I can't see her at all." ”
"Let's go, I'll go with you to have a look," he turned to Cai Wei and said, "Take my money, and go to the outer courtyard to trouble your brother to ask for a doctor." ”
Cai Wei's brother was in charge of the comprador in the study room of the outer courtyard, and it was very convenient to enter and exit, and when he heard Duanmu Qing's order, he promised to go down immediately.
Huang's place of residence is not in the main courtyard of the three-room, but a small courtyard next to the inverted seat, the lighting is not very good, cold in winter and hot in summer.
The third aunt Zhou is the sister-in-law of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and there are no other shortcomings except for some jealousy, and all the girls who married her have been sent out, just when Aunt Huang was about to be sent away, she found that she was pregnant and stayed, and carried her aunt.
At the same time, it can be regarded as the reputation of the Zhou family, but the days of Duanmusu's mother and daughter can be imagined.
Walking into the house, there was a lamp lit in broad daylight, and the air was hot and muddy, Duanmusu quickly rushed to the side of the bed, "Auntie, how are you?" ”
"Fourth Miss," Huang's face was already too sick, under the wide sleeves, there were small wrists like reed sticks, and tears flowed from his dry eyes, "Don't be like this, be seen by Madame, it's time to be unhappy, I'm fine." ”
"Auntie, you'll be fine, the eldest sister asked someone to ask for a doctor." Duanmusu's tears were falling in a torrent as he held Huang's hand tightly.
Turning his head, Huang Shi saw Duanmu Qing following Duanmusu, and his eyes were shining with some brilliance, "Miss, slave maid......"
Stretching out his hand to stop what she was about to say, Duanmu Qing walked over and said gently: "Auntie, don't talk too much, the doctor will be here soon." ”
After a while, Cai Wei led a doctor in, and Duanmusu and Duanmuqing hurriedly avoided behind the screen.
After diagnosing the pulse, it was still sent away by Cai Wei, Duanmu Zi waited outside the door, and only when Cai Wei came back did he ask, "What did the doctor say?" ”
Handing over the pharmacy to the little girl, Cai Wei shook her head, "The doctor said that this is a disease accumulated over the years, and Aunt Huang has run out of oil now, and prescribing medicine is just a few more days to live." ”
I also knew that this would be the result, but I was still a little sad when I thought that she was Su'er's biological mother after all.
"Auntie, don't worry, the doctor said, the important thing for your illness is to take care of it, don't think so much about it."
Huang shook his head, "The eldest lady doesn't have to lie to the slave maid, the slave maid has her own body, and she knows that if it weren't for the fourth miss for so many years, the slave and maid would not have lasted until now, and now the fourth miss is still so young, the slave and the maid are really not at ease!" ”
In fact, he knew her suffering in his heart, but at this time, Duanmu Qing didn't know how to comfort her.
"Eldest Miss," Huang suddenly sat up and grabbed Duanmu Qing's hand, his eyes were full of expectation, "The slave maid has a meager ability, and she can't get the fourth lady's thoughtfulness with all her life's efforts. ”
Hearing this, Duanmusu could still hold on, and he had already cried into a tearful person.
Saying this, Huang Shi was already exhausted, and fell on the pillow and gasped for breath.
Seeing her like this, Duanmuqing felt very uncomfortable in her heart, her mother's love for her child was always so unreserved, and she thought of Brother Jin in her heart.
It's just that after all the things in her previous life, it is difficult for her to cry, as if the memory of her previous life has affected this body in this life, and the tear ducts have been deserted.
"Auntie, don't be excited, it's serious to be healthy and recuperate, don't worry, Su'er is my cousin, I will definitely try my best to be considerate of her."
When these words were spoken, except for the Huang family and Duanmu Qing themselves, everyone's eyes widened, and the others didn't understand how the cold and indifferent eldest lady could suddenly care so much about the concubine in the third room.
Duanmusu looked at Duanmuqing speechless, because she knew very well that it was definitely not easy to do this matter, after all, they were not born to the same father.
Moreover, Duanmuqing herself is only twelve years old, and she is a daughter, how can she take care of her?
But the look in her eyes was so serious, it didn't look like she was dealing with a dying person at all.
After visiting the Huang family, Duanmu Qing began to think about how to deal with the problem of Duanmusin, and still didn't think of any good way to do it all day, but the news of Huang's death came in the evening.
In such a family, the death of an aunt is really not a big deal, except for the fact that his own daughter Duanmusu needs to keep filial piety for a year, there is almost no expression.
Just after the first seven, Aunt Huang's coffin was sent to the ancestral cemetery of the Duanmu family and buried in a corner.
With the end of Aunt Huang's funeral, Duanmu Jun also came to the Wumo Pavilion and sent everyone out.
Looking at his father's somewhat stern eyes, Duanmu Qing personally poured a cup of tea, looking a little at a loss, "Father, this is ...... Is something going on? ”
"What about the fan your mother gave you when you were ten years old?"
With a startled face, Duanmu Qing lowered his eyes, thinking about what to say, and couldn't help but be a little flustered.
"What? It's gone? At this point, there was already some coldness in Duanmu Jun's voice.
"No, no, it's ......" It's been a long time, and his heart is ruthless, Duanmuqing gritted his teeth and said, "I was killed by my daughter." ”
"Down?" originally thought that this child didn't see good things and was stolen by the maids, but it turned out to be taken by herself.
Biting his lip, Duanmu Qing said: "The maids in the house have been with me since I was a child, and the monthly silver is taken home to my parents. ”
Saying that, he looked at Duanmu Jun's expression, and then continued: "Sisters often interact with each other, and they have to spend some money. ”
In the end, the voice became smaller and quieter, and Duanmu Qing's head also drooped.
"You mean Aunt Li has arranged fewer monthly cases?"
"No, no, no one else sees this, it's my daughter who is making a big deal out of it."
As he spoke, he secretly looked at his father out of the corner of his eye, and found that his expression was thoughtful, and his heart was a little settled.
After that, Duanmu Jun didn't say much, but in the afternoon, he heard the news that Cai Wei heard from her brother, saying that Mr. Bai had been transferred to Zhuangzi outside.
"Miss, what's going on? How can I inquire about Mr. Bai? Could it be that Miss knew from the beginning that something would happen to Manager Bai? Rao is Caiwei has a calm temperament, and she can't help but ask at this time.
Lu Xi's eyes lit up, "Miss is like a god." ”
The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and Duanmu Qing said: "This is not simple, Li Ningshuang used the right to preside over the feed, used the money in the house to turnover, and secretly opened the pawnshop outside, it must be the head Bai of the outer courtyard who is helping to deal with it." ”
"Mr. Bai is indeed sincere to Li Ningshuang, and it is precisely because of his loyalty that he got such a fan, and Aunt Li will naturally give it to him who loves the fan like his life."
"It's just that Mr. Bai walks around in front of his father every day, he doesn't recognize this fan, how can his father not recognize it, he can immediately find out that it is something from Aunt Li's pawnshop, but it is in the hands of Mr. Bai. You tell me! ”
Cai Wei nodded when she listened, but her heart was terrifying, when did the eldest lady become so shrewd?
"In this way, it is enough for Aunt Li to drink a pot, it is one case of embezzling money from the public middle school to open a pawnshop, colluding with the steward of the outer court is another, and treating the eldest lady harshly is another case, the young lady is so scheming!"
Lu Xi was overjoyed, for Aunt Li, she hated it from the bottom of her heart, saying that she treated Wumo Pavilion harshly, but it was not a wrongful treatment of her, but Mu Qing didn't care much about these from the front, and the people below could only swallow their anger.
"Aunt Li should suffer now!"
Slowly shaking his head, Duanmu Qing said: "No, just look at my father's handling of Manager Bai, after all, this matter will affect the reputation of the Hou Mansion, so that's the end of it." ”
"Wouldn't that be cheaper for her?" Lu Xi muttered, looking a little unhappy.
Smiling slightly, Duanmu Qing turned his face to look at Cai Wei, "Cai Wei, what do you see?" ”
"Although Master Hou won't deal with Aunt Li, I'm afraid that a thorn has been planted in my heart! It's hard to say what will happen in the future. ”
Hearing this, Duanmu Qing nodded, obviously Cai Wei thought more deeply than Lu Xi.
Cai Wei and Lu Xi, one still and the other moving, can be paired up by her side, and it will be much easier to act.
Because she was not born in the family, Cai Wei did not marry into the palace, but married someone out of the palace, so relatively speaking, she trusted Lu Xi more, but now it seems that this girl is acting safely and cultivating well, and she will be a good helper.
While she was talking, a little girl reported that the third lady was coming.
