Lu Xiufang also thought about the house, nodded, and said: "Changyong, today is no more than before, there is one more girl, you should pay more attention to this shop and don't make any mistakes." ”

"The two ladies can rest assured, if there is a little mistake, just ask Changyong!"

"Gardenia's medicine, you have to take it once in the evening, you think about getting it in a while." Qingwan said, "Find a new bedding and let Gardenia go to bed early." ”

Changyong agreed, and trotted out early to pick up a new bedding, but because of the woman's bed, it was not easy to do it himself, so a few maids took it and placed it.

Gardenia is a well-behaved girl, so a moment of effort, and a few maids get along very closely, a mouthful of a sister, although the strength is not enough, but still hands and feet continue to help them do things, so all the maids are quite happy, talking and laughing to make the bed.

Qingwan instructed everyone a few more words, and then left the backyard, and the aunt and sister-in-law took a carriage together, first arrived in front of the Zhu Mansion, and then drove to the Wei Mansion.

Entering the main hall, I saw that the lights were bright, Qing Boding and his wife and Hanguan brothers all gathered together, waiting for her to come back while talking, and when they heard the report, Hanguang greeted her in a hurry: "Second sister!" You only came back so late, there are only two of you, how long have you been eating this dinner? ”

Qingwan was only busy with gardenia for half a day, and almost forgot this excuse, at this time when he heard the second brother's question, he thought about it, and hurriedly covered up and smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and if you can't finish speaking, you will come to this time unconsciously." ”

"It doesn't matter later, knowing that you are with Grandma Zhu, your father and I won't be worried." He didn't think much else, "Come back from a long journey, hurry back to your room and rest." ”

Qingwan agreed: "Then you and your father should also rest early." After speaking, he glanced at his eldest brother and left first.

As soon as I sat down and drank half a cup of tea, I saw Hanguan walk in.

"You're really, you've been back for so long, and you don't send me a letter, so that I think about it every day." When Qingwan saw him, she was distressed and angry, and couldn't help complaining.

"Second sister, you don't know, my mother was seriously ill a few days ago, and I was very upset, and I don't know what to write to you." Hanguan poured himself a cup of tea, but he didn't drink it, holding it in his hand, frowning.

"What did you say?" Qingwan was taken aback: "My mother is sick?" Why didn't you tell me? I think my mother's complexion is pretty good. ”

"It's all right now," Hanguan said: "I originally wanted to write to you, but my mother resolutely refused to let me, and my father also said that I was afraid that you would worry, and we couldn't help it, so I couldn't let you know." ”

"What did I tell you when I left?" Qingwan was anxious: "You must tell me if you have something, not to mention such a big thing!" What kind of illness is it, and who is invited to see it? ”

"I invited the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, and said that my mother was deficient in qi and blood, and she also felt wind and cold, took a few doses of evacuation medicine, and prescribed a tonic prescription to get better." Hanguan hurriedly said: "During the time when the eldest sister was at home, my father and mother were happy, and she got up early every day, probably because of the morning cold, but the imperial doctor said that she has recovered now, second sister, don't worry, with me and my second brother here, nothing will happen." ”

"It's good to recover," Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't hide it from me in the future!" ”

"I know," Hanguan hurriedly responded: "But, for this matter, I can't make up my mind, if I resign and go to the Turks, there will be one less person by my father's side, the second brother is a military attache after all, and he can't be stationed in the capital, maybe he will have to go to Beijing when he can't, so I really can't rest assured." In those days when my mother was sick, how could I say about my resignation and let the second elder worry about me. ”

"You haven't written for a long time, I've already thought about it, did something happen, you changed your mind," Qingwan looked at his younger brother's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't bear to criticize him anymore: "Didn't my sister say it, I will definitely try my best to help you, the matter of resignation, if you no longer cherish fame, just do it as usual, as for my father, I will think about taking them to Qianzhou, so you don't have to worry." ”

"Will this work?" Hanguan raised his head, a moment of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it dimmed again: "Daddy is also a stubborn person, since what he said is so categorical, if you don't go to Qianzhou, I'm afraid you can't say it, right?" ”

"This time, that time," Qingwan said with a smile, "If you and Qinglu get married, the situation will be very different." At that time, just to be closer to you, my father and mother will probably agree to go to Qianzhou. ”

"yes, I didn't think of that!" Hanguan became excited: "This will definitely convince them!" However, second sister, you say, will my father and mother agree to me going to Turkic? ”

"The second elder is not an unreasonable person, as long as you say it well, I think you will understand your thoughts." Qingwan said: "But don't be in a hurry, I will stay at home for a few days, find a time when everyone is happy, and then talk about it." ”

Hanguan nodded, looking much more relaxed: "Second sister, you are also tired, rest early." ”

"Don't think too much, compared to when Qianzhou was separated, you are much thinner." Qingwan said distressedly.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Hanguan didn't care, "Then I'll go back to the room first." ”

Seeing his younger brother leave, Qingwan wrote a short letter to Lu Yanyi under the lamp, sealed it, and prepared to send it the next day.

Early the next morning, after freshening up, he handed the letter to the servant, and went to the main hall to eat.

Mr. and Mrs. Qing Boding had already gotten up, and were sitting there drinking tea and waiting for her.

As soon as she saw her parents, Qingwan couldn't hold back the worry in her heart: "Mother, I heard my eldest brother say that you were seriously ill a few days ago, but you didn't tell me?" ”

"Guan'er is really eventful," At first hearing this, He Shi was stunned for a moment, and then complained and said: "I tell you a thousand times, ten thousand instructions, it's not a serious illness, don't let your second sister know that this child is out of the end." ”

"Are you really going to keep it a secret from me?" Qingwan was anxious and helpless: "You don't know, how worried I am after hearing it?" ”

"Isn't it all right now?" He Shi hurriedly said: "Even when your eldest sister was at home, she suffered a little cold in the morning and evening, but it was just a common problem. What's more, your eldest sister and eldest brother are all three at home, and they tell you what to do? Thousands of miles away, in vain to worry you. ”

"Mother, how can you say that?" Qingwan hurriedly said: "If you don't tell your daughter, you will make your daughter sad." Although it is a long way, it is easy to come back, and besides, I can still treat you, isn't it better than outsiders? ”

"The imperial doctor invited by Guan'er is also very skilled," He said: "Okay, okay, don't worry about your mother, it's just a little illness, why be in such a hurry?" ”

"Mother, I think you and your father should go to Qianzhou with me, so that I can put my mind at ease," Qingwan said sincerely: "If you really feel sorry for your daughter, don't let me run at both ends like this, wouldn't it save trouble?" ”

"Didn't I tell your father? Just stay in the capital. He said firmly.

Qingwan wanted to say something, but after thinking for a while, he felt that it was not the right time, so he said, "Okay, this matter will be discussed slowly." ”

"Let's eat, I remember that you liked to drink the polenta I made the most since you were a child, and it hasn't been boiled for a long time, and I don't know if the taste has changed." He personally served a bowl of porridge for his daughter, and his eyes were full of love.

Qingwan's eyes were red, and she hurriedly took it and took a sip: "It hasn't changed at all!" ”

"That's good, that's good," He said repeatedly, showing a hint of a smile: "When your eldest sister was at home, I also made it for her, and she also said it was delicious!" ”

The Hanguan brothers also came one after another, and the family had a meal with a smile, so Qing Boding urged Qing Juan to go to the shop: "Didn't you say yesterday that the matter was not done?" Hurry up and go. ”

Qingwan was also really worried about that end, so she stood up: "Then I'll go with the eldest brother and the second brother." ”

Qing Boding nodded, and the three sisters and brothers went out together, and each got into the carriage and left.

The cosmetics shop is still the same as usual, with a lot of customers, and you can't see the slightest difference. Lu Xiufang was busy working, and as soon as she saw her, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Second sister-in-law!" You're here! The secret recipe."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Gardenia also hear the voice from inside: "Meet Madame!" ”

"What, are you feeling better?" Qingwan asked

"Thank you, Madame, it's all right," Gardenia said busily, "It's just"

"Two ladies! Big things are wrong! A few guys ran in in a panic: "A lot of people came outside, saying that they were from the Chen Mansion of the Ministry of War, and they wanted to come to our shop to find someone."

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." Qingwan smiled: "Finally came to the door." ”

"Second sister-in-law, what are you going to do?" When it came to the end, Lu Xiufang was still a little worried. "You go back to Beijing alone, or don't go out, be killed"

"It doesn't matter, I've never met this Mrs. Chen, and she may not recognize me, so it's good not to say who I am. Moreover, the guests who came today are not familiar with each other, and will not be noticed. ”

"Two ladies!" Gardenia pounced and knelt down: "Don't be embarrassed for the slave maid, if not, the slave and maid will still follow back, and never affect the two ladies!" ”

"Hurry up," Qingwan hurriedly helped her up: "Don't panic, follow us and act according to the looks." ”

"No matter what today, I have to give you this breath!" Seeing this, Lu Xiufang also calmed down, "She has a ghost in her heart, what else does she dare to do?" ”

Gardenia timidly followed to the front, and sure enough, a middle-aged lady in her forties was sitting upright on a chair, her face was very calm, and she couldn't see any waves.

There were a large number of servant women around him, but they were all arrogant and arrogant, and they were arrogant at a glance.

At this time, there are many buyers, and the people who have crowded a room, although they are still selecting goods, are all paying attention to the movement here.

Lu Xiufang stepped forward first: "Isn't this the wife of Chen Shangshu's Mansion in the Ministry of War?" Why are you free today? ”
