He asked casually: "Mother Liang, what is the use of peeling so many lotus seeds?" ”

"The old lady has been sleeping lightly recently, and the slave woman wants to make some lotus seed porridge for the old lady to eat every day, so as to calm her mind and calm her mind. As for this lotus seed heart, it is used to soak in water, and it also has this effect. Liang's mother held the lotus rice in one hand and the lotus seed heart in the other, and explained to Sima Qu with a smile.

"Calm your mind?" Sima Qu showed excitement, "Mother Liang, I'm restless, I'm tired of Mother Liang, so I'll make a cup for me." ”

"All right, slave woman will go." Liang's mother responded, found some dried lotus seed hearts from the cabinet a few days ago, and exited the room.

When the old lady heard the conversation between the two, she asked with concern, "Son, is there anything bothering you?" ”

"Hey!" Sima Qu sighed heavily, "It's not that Feng Jia's son, but he scared his son's three souls and seven spirits away." ”

Although the old lady couldn't see Sima Qu's expression, she could hear from his complaining voice that he was indeed uneasy.

"Why is that?"

"Feng Jiaerlang's strange illness is really terrifying." When Sima Qu said this, he paused, "Hey, my son won't go into details, I'm afraid that my mother will panic when she hears it." Anyway, if he can get better, unless the Da Luo Immortal descends to earth. ”

"So serious? What can I do with the marriage of the sheng girl? I thought that the sheng girl would have this good fate and be happy for the rest of her life, but I didn't want to, God is not beautiful. The old lady immediately looked sad.

"Mother, that's not right. Son, look, we don't need to go to the door to push off the family affairs, Feng Jiaerlang is afraid that he won't be able to survive for a few days. Speaking of this, Sima Qu's expression softened a lot.

"Hey! Because of this, I am worried. ”

"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Sima Qu's face was full of doubts, and he didn't understand the meaning of the old lady's words.

"Think about it, since ancient times, how many big families have chosen Chongxi to save people suffering from serious diseases?"

After all, the old lady is an elderly, and she has naturally experienced more ups and downs than these juniors. In fact, her worries are not unreasonable.

Large families, once their sons are suffering from a serious illness and there is no medical treatment, they often pin their hopes on ghosts and gods, and this "Chongxi" is the most direct and immediate method.

Sima Qu pondered for a moment and asked, "What my mother means is that she is afraid that the county lord will let Guan Sheng rejoice for Feng Jiaerlang?" ”

The old lady did not say a word, and nodded slightly in response.

Sima Qu frowned, and then suddenly smiled brightly: "Mother, you are too worried. At that time, the son made an excuse to push it, and said that he would discuss the marriage when her son-in-law was well. She is also the county lord anyway, so she doesn't dare to marry and rob her, right? At that time, if the Feng family can be good, then everyone will naturally be happy. If the legs are kicked away, it will have no effect on our Sima Mansion. ”

When the words fell, the old lady hooked her lips and smiled, and sighed: "Wu'er rarely thinks about it so thoroughly, it seems that it is still 'the edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold'!" This matter will be discussed like this for the time being, for fear that the Feng family's sons and daughters will be dragged on for a long time. ”

Sima Qu listened carefully, and after saying such a thing, he felt that his mouth was dry, and he picked up the sour apricot on the table that was not yet yellow to quench his thirst.

It's early April now, and the sour apricots are not yet ripe, and the taste is so sour that people's teeth and mouths are sour.

Sima Qu took a bite and chewed it with relish, this sour feeling made his face a little hideous. He couldn't vomit in a hurry, so he hurriedly grabbed the water cup on the table and poured water to rinse his mouth.

The old lady listened attentively, and Sima Qu didn't reply for a long time. She asked suspiciously, "Son! What are you doing with the bells? ”

After Sima Qu rinsed his mouth, he didn't forget to take a piece of candied fruit from the table to suppress the sour taste in his mouth.

"Mother, where is this sour apricot eaten? Your teeth can be sore, so don't eat them. Although Sima Qu was no longer confused, there was a cute expression at this time, which made people laugh when they saw it.

When the old lady heard this, she immediately burst into laughter.

"This apricot is a sour apricot from a barren land, not for bare food, but for making sour apricot jam, and boiling it with some honey to make a paste. In summer, the weather is hot and dry, and the appetite is poor, so it is very appetizing. Women have morning sickness, and the effect of eating this antiemetic is also excellent. The old woman also plans to let Liang's mother do more, so that Sheng Yatou and Dai Yuan can use it then. ”

The old lady is very peaceful, although she protects Sima Guansheng clearly, but what is the benefit is still thinking about those girls.

Is this what she is called, a knife mouth tofu heart?

After speaking, Sima Qu touched his hungry stomach and said with a smile: "Mother, don't say it, this little thing really works, my son's stomach is so hungry that he growls at this moment." ”

"It's not too late! Is it to leave the old woman to eat here? Or go back to your house? ”

"Before going out, I asked them to prepare food, but my son still went back to eat and came back to eat with his mother another day." Sima Qu said with some embarrassment.

The old lady waved her hand to signal Sima Qu to leave, and said, "Okay, go back!" The old woman is also going to sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple. ”

Sima Qu saluted respectfully before exiting the room.

On this night, the moon is in the sky; This night, the wind and waves are calm.

The next day, Liu Yuwan paid a portable gift to visit Sima's Mansion.

Before going out, Feng Bozhong dragged her and begged her for a while, begging her not to withdraw from her marriage to Sima Guansheng.

As a mother, she can't take this risk, for the sake of her son's well-being, she must make decisions properly.

Listen to the Snow Pavilion, the residence of the Lu family.

Sima Qu went to Yali early, the sun was shining today, Lu Shi had breakfast, and was taking Sima Yongshuo to bask in the sun in the courtyard.

Sima Yongshuo is white and chubby, and his smile is very cute, and the maids and women in the Xue Pavilion especially like to revolve around this cute little guy.

Listening to the snow pavilion, laughter came and went. Today, everyone's mood is unusually good.

At this time, someone came to report: "Madam, be well! Madam, the lord of Yuwan came to visit. ”

Hearing this, the smile on Lu's face stopped abruptly, and he hurriedly put away his heart to coax the child, and said, "Please." With that, she handed the child to the nurse, "Take the little boy down!" ”

She hurriedly walked towards the guest hall, muttering as she went, "What is she doing at this time?" Isn't it true that as the husband said, he is here to let Guan Sheng go over to rejoice? This husband is not here, and if something happens, I can't make up my mind alone. ”

Seeing that she looked in a trance, Mother Lu said worriedly: "Madam, otherwise, the slave woman will invite the old lady over." The old lady's words are more useful than the head of the family. ”

Lu Shi took a hurried step, pondered carefully, and responded for a long time: "It can only be like this, Mother Lu, you go quickly, by the way, let Poria make a pot of hot tea, and ask for the Longjing before the rain brought back by the head of the family two days ago." ”

Mother Lu responded and went in the direction of Qilanxuan.

Lu's temperament is too gentle, and he is timid in doing things, so he never dares to make up his own mind, for fear of doing something wrong, dishonoring Sima Fu and displeasing Sima Qu.

It is precisely because of her temperament that even if she is a wife, Zhong Xiaoniang does not take her seriously, and always changes her ways to get benefits from her.

A few days ago, Sima Qu and his wingmen went to the Western Regions and specially brought back the Western Regions specialties to give to him. Among them, there is a box of women's eyebrows with Dai pen, this kind of Dai pen color is natural, easy to paint, with its own fragrance, is the best in Dai pen.

Sima Qu gave the silk scarf to Zhong Xiaoniang, and gave the box of dai pens to the Lu family. He thought about it, for so many years, Zhong Xiaoniang has searched for countless things, and it is not easy to get a little decent thing, and he should compensate the Lu family for his merit that is greater than the sky.

Zhong Xiaoniang heard the breath and rushed directly to Tingxue Pavilion, and after a pear blossom with rain, Lu Shi gave up the Dai pen. Sima Qu asked, and she also explained to Sima Qu and spoke for Zhong Xiaoniang.

Zhong Xiaoniang has also been in peace for a few days, and seeing that the Lu family occupies the position of the main wife, she is indifferent, which is indeed a bit abnormal.

Perhaps, this is the calm before the storm.

Not long after, Liu Yuwan came to the guest hall of Tingxue Pavilion.

When Lu Shi saw her coming, he hurriedly got up to greet her.

"The county lord came, but the slave family couldn't welcome him from afar, and I hope the county lord won't blame him." Lu smiled and saluted.

Liu Yuwan hurriedly helped up the Lu family, who was leaning over and bowing her head, and said with a light smile: "Madame doesn't need to be formal, I have prepared some things, and I hope Madame will accept it with a smile." ”

She glanced at the maid behind her, who hurriedly handed her the things in her hand.

Lu Shi accepted the gift with a smile, "Then the slave family will accept it with a cheeky face, please sit down." ”

The two of them sat down at this time, and the maid quickly came up with hot tea to serve.

The guest is as follows the host, Liu Yuwan drank the tea and did not speak, and the Lu family could only find a topic to talk about.

"County Lord, I don't know if Feng Gongzi's illness is better?"

As soon as the words fell, she regretted it, and she wanted to slap herself in the mouth.

Lu Yunshu, Lu Yunshu, why are you as stupid as a deer pig? You have to talk about anything, you have to expose other people's scars, and pour salt on them.

At dinner last night, Sima Qu told her about Feng Bozhong's general situation. In her cognition, this Feng Bozhong is a person who has already stepped into the Yama Hall on one leg and is about to leave at any time.

That's why she felt like she had said the wrong thing.

Sure enough, Liu Yuwan's face was still very flat, and it suddenly became cloudy.

She shook her head and sighed vigorously.

In order to remedy the situation, Lu Shi immediately said embarrassedly: "Feng Gongzi Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely come to Jitai." County Lord, you taste, this is this year's newly harvested pre-rain Longjing, see how it tastes? ”

At this time, the only thing she could do was to change the subject and try to delay until the arrival of the old lady, so that she would not be overwhelmed like this.

Liu Yuwan hesitated for a moment, and her face showed embarrassment: "Madam, I came here today, I have a reluctant request, but Mrs. wants to do it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuwan frowned slightly, and her expression immediately froze.

Ay! It's really a matter of what comes from anything, and you really can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night.

It is already so, and there is no reason to refuse to listen.

She squeezed out a slight smile and said softly: "The county lord bluntly said that if the slave family can do the master's thing, he will do his best." ”

"Yesterday, Lord Yin came here, and he must have known about my child's situation. My life is thin, my husband died at an early age, and now my son is suffering from such a bad disease. Liu Yuwan first told her pitiful life, and then changed her words, "Your Guansheng girl is indeed a rare good woman, but it's a pity that my son doesn't have this blessing." As a woman, I don't want to watch Guan Sheng be dragged down by my son, so I want to quit this family business and let Guan Sheng find another good match. ”
