Chapter Eighty-Five: Disaster Returns
"You crazy woman!" Old Mrs. Zou was extremely angry, she asked Xiao Zhiyuan on the side with a cold face: "This is your aunt, what are you going to do with it?" ”
Xiao Zhiyuan also looked coldly at Aunt Su who was sitting on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Mother rest assured, tomorrow my son will send her to the Zhuangzi outside, and she will never be allowed to step into the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion for half a step!" ”
Hearing this, Aunt Su didn't look up, as if she didn't care at all.
After a while, the fire in the house was finally extinguished, and everyone in front of Aunt Su had happy smiles on their faces, she suddenly laughed twice, and then quickly picked up the scissors that had just fallen on the ground and stabbed them into her chest.
This unexpected move startled Mrs. Zou and the others, and they took a step back, and Xiao Yiling and the others covered their eyes and didn't dare to look at it again.
Xiao Yiran looked at Aunt Su who was bleeding and fell to the ground in front of her, and hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that she was no longer saved.
"She's dead." Xiao Yiran said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyuan frowned, obviously not expecting that Aunt Su would commit suicide in front of him, but at this time, he didn't have any sympathy or forbearance in his heart, just a little irritated and said, "Steward Wu!" You took a few people and buried her! ”
"Yes." Steward Wu responded, and then he glanced at Xiao Zhiyuan's face with some embarrassment, and hesitated: "Is that to be buried?" ”
Hearing him ask, Mrs. Zou glared at him: "This Su family is just a concubine, if you die, you will die, just find a place to bury it, do you still want to enter the ancestral hall?" ”
Steward Wu bowed his head and said yes again and again, and then took a few people to move the body.
Hearing Mrs. Zou say this, Aunt Liu on the side didn't feel good in her heart, she is also a concubine, will she be hastily buried like the Zou family after death?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhiyuan, and then lowered her eyes.
"Mother, many yards must be uninhabitable now, and you have to wait a little longer to clean them up." Zou said on the side.
"Hmm." Old Lady Zou nodded.
On the side, Bai Huaping suddenly said: "Master, why has there been such a big disaster in our house now, and you can be busy next." I'm afraid that the second brother and sister won't be able to do it alone, but let the concubine help her. ”
Zou frowned, knowing that Bai Huaping was about to seize power, and hurriedly said: "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, but I can still do it alone." ”
Mrs. Zou is also reluctant, since the Zou family took charge, her mood has been a lot smoother, and the Zou family has always been filial to her, usually use her power to do her filial piety, now if the white painting screen comes in and re-inserts a foot, I'm afraid this benefit will not be so easy to get?
So she said: "Old family, your younger brother and sister have just taken charge of the house, and it is inevitable that they are not skilled enough in doing things, so they must always experience and experience." ”
Xiao Zhiyuan was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth at this time: "Mother, my son thinks that what the painting screen said is reasonable. For so many days, the affairs of the family have been troublesome to the second brother and sister, and she is inevitably a little difficult to be alone, and there will be no less things in the future, so it is better to let the picture screen help one or two. ”
What does this mean, no one said that she was hard when Bai Huaping was in charge, and now she says so, doesn't it mean that she is not capable enough!
But this Zhongyong Marquis Mansion is still Xiao Zhiyuan's most right to speak, and now that he has opened his mouth, the old lady Zou and the Zou family can't say anything anymore, so the two of them have to grit their teeth and agree: "Okay." ”
Hearing this, Bai Huaping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Zou and the others proudly, and looked at Xiao Zhiyuan shyly, she knew that Xiao Zhiyuan was still facing her.
Xiao Yixian's sisters were also happy that their mother had won some power in the family, and the two looked at Xiao Yiran defiantly.
Xiao Yiran on the side couldn't help frowning, she had long known that Bai Huaping would one day regain control of the inner mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
Because the fire in the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion was really big, many people in Beijing were alarmed, and even Emperor Rui'an asked when Xiao Zhiyuan went to court, and when he heard him say that there were no casualties, Emperor Rui'an comforted him a few words.
After all, it was an important matter such as a residence, Bai Huaping did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly called the best craftsmen and carpenters in Beijing to renovate the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion as quickly as possible, and then everyone moved in again.
Just when the people in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion thought that everything was settled, a major event happened again: Mrs. Zou and Xiao Zibai in the third room suddenly fell ill together.
The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion is busy again.
"Doctor, how's it going? What is this disease? Except for the people in the third room, almost all the people in the mansion gathered around Mrs. Zou, and Zou looked at the doctor who took Mrs. Zou's pulse and asked.
In the hearts of so many people, I'm afraid that Erfang is the person who is most looking forward to Mrs. Zou's goodness, because if she has something good, then they won't be able to fight Dafang.
The doctor carefully observed the herpes on Mrs. Zou's face, and said, "It seems to be smallpox!" ”
"What!" Hearing this, the faces of the people around changed in unison, this smallpox is contagious, even Zou couldn't help but take a few steps back, covered his nose with a handkerchief, and asked anxiously: "Doctor, are you mistaken?" ”
"No, it won't." The doctor shook his head firmly, and then comforted: "Don't panic, ladies and misses, this smallpox is also a relatively common disease, as long as you keep taking medicine, there is still a great hope of recovery." During this period, those who are close to the old lady should try to pay attention to it and cover their mouths and noses. In addition, it is better to take care of people who have had smallpox before, and such people are not susceptible to infection. ”
Hearing this, Zou and Bai Huaping looked at each other, they had never heard of anyone in this mansion who had smallpox. But after thinking about it, what is this, it is not them who take care of Mrs. Zou, and when the time comes, just find two maids, who cares if they will be infected with you.
"There's one more. Doctor, there is also a young master in our house who suddenly has this disease, please follow us to take a look. Bai Huaping said.
"Okay." The doctor nodded, and then followed her away,
Later, the doctor determined that Xiao Zibai was also infected with smallpox, and Zou wanted to persuade Liu not to stay by his side, but Liu did not listen, and finally became infected.
In this way, the smallpox in the house gradually became serious, and everyone had to shut up.
Xiao Yiran looked at the increasingly serious smallpox in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and couldn't help but ponder, this white painting screen did not follow the doctor's words, looking for those who had not had smallpox to serve, and finally sent over the maids were all infected, and no one dared to approach Qingshoutang and Sanfang.
Bai Huaping is also in a hurry for this matter, but he didn't expect this to be inadvertent, things have developed to this point, Xiao Zhiyuan is a little dissatisfied.
On this day, Bai Huaping and Xiao Yixian were discussing the matter of smallpox, and she held her forehead with a headache and said: "I don't know what's going on, these ones have all fallen, it's really bad!" ”
Although she was at odds with Mrs. Zou, and often cursed her in her heart for dying early or something, but this smallpox is not incurable, if Mrs. Zou has any mistakes in this case, then wouldn't others say that it was her dereliction of duty?
At this time, who had been listening to them, Zou's personal grandmother Zhao Mama said quickly: "Madam, the old slave looks at this sick evil sect!" I'm afraid that why didn't our house provoke something unclean? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yiling immediately rubbed his shoulders with numbness: "Mama, don't scare me." We're good right here, and who's going to hit something unclean? ”
Bai Huaping couldn't help frowning when he heard her words.
Xiao Yixian smiled: "What Mama said has some truth. ”
Mama Zhao saw that Bai Huaping and Xiao Yiling didn't like this topic, and knew that she was talking too much, so she originally planned to stop there, but after seeing Xiao Yixian Ying and her, she suddenly came to her senses again: "Yes, Miss, this kind of thing would rather be believed than not, according to the old slave, it is better to find a master to do it." If the old lady's illness is cured because of this, then after she recovers, she still doesn't think about their well. It doesn't matter if it's not good, it's harmless anyway, others can still say that we have a heart, it's better than doing it in a hurry like now. ”
Hearing this, Bai Huaping really pondered, but she looked at Xiao Yixian a little strangely, this daughter she understands, she has always disbelieved in these gods and ghosts, why is it abnormal today.
Xiao Yixian knew her doubts and smiled slightly: "Mother, who do you think is the most likely thing that has been recruited from the house during this time?" ”
Bai Huaping's eyes widened: "You mean? ”
Xiao Yixian smiled and was silent.
Bai Huaping instantly understood what she meant, and a calculating smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
