Liang listened to Qin's mother's words, but the left ear went in and the right ear went out, and he didn't listen to it at all, and he didn't want to answer.

She didn't react, picked up the tea cup on the top of the high table and took a few sips.

Gu Licai and Gu Lichi are brothers of the same mother, and they have brotherhood, he will definitely not be ruthless to deal with Gu Lichi, so he let Gu Lichi and the Yang family quarrel again and again in the mansion, she has long been tired of it, so she made the decision this time and let people detain the outer room.

Only when people have a firm look at the outer room will Gu Lichi calm down and discuss with the Yang family. If that outer chamber is constantly making waves outside, then what's the matter?

This farce, which has been in trouble for more than half a year, is finally coming to an end.

Qin's mother has served by Liang's side for so many years, and she also knows what kind of temperament Liang's temperament is. The reason why Liang didn't respond to her question for a long time was that he wanted to avoid talking about it, and if he continued to ask without interest, he was afraid that he would annoy her.

Mother Qin thought for a moment in her heart, wanting to bypass the topic of Fang Cai, so she said.

"Mrs., there is a maid over there in Ruiyue Courtyard who handed over the news, saying that Cai's cough has not stopped in the past few days, and he will be wheezing for a long time when he knocks up, Dr. Qin has prescribed several prescriptions in a row, and after taking seven or eight pairs of medicines, he has not improved, but I am afraid that it will not work."

"If you don't succeed, you can't do it! Now that she is sick like this, she deserves this reward. I have no grievances with her, she actually wanted people to poison my decoction, and as a result, I really underestimated her. ”

As he spoke, Liang picked up a plate of sugar lotus seeds on the top of the table next to him and chewed it.

"Madam, the Cai family is now regarded as having evil retribution, but it is going to be bitter for Brother Sheng, and without the care of his biological mother, I am afraid that the life in this mansion will be difficult in the future. Although Feng Lao'an loves Brother Sheng, Aunt Hong is still young and still has to give birth, and in the future, she will hold the power of the housekeeper of the second room, and she may treat Brother Sheng harshly. ”

Mother Qin thought about it, so she said the worries in her heart.

"Those wrong things were all done by Cai's alone, Brother Sheng is still a child, and others will not blame Cai's mistakes on him. If Aunt Hong is smart, she should not treat Brother Sheng harshly, but treat him as her own, so that she can really gain a foothold in the mansion. ”

After Liang finished the previous sentence, he continued.

"Hongmei is a little maid who went out of Cai's courtyard, from a small family, without any foundation, and the people in the house will definitely disobey her discipline. If there is another rumor of mistreatment of the eldest son, then she will be even more untenable in the house. ”

"What Mrs. said is that Aunt Hong was born in a small family, and she was sold to the house, her family background is not as good as Cai's, and her majesty is not as good as Cai's, and she can only rely on the sixth master's favor for her, if she treats Brother Sheng harshly, I am afraid that the sixth master will also talk about her." Mother Qin said, looking at Liang's tired look, picked her up, and went to the inner room to rest.

Liang leaned crookedly on the soft pillow, Qin's mother went to the small kitchen to bring Liang's medicine, Liang's decoction was contained in a small lotus pattern bowl of celadon in the kiln, and there were ice cracks on the wall of the bowl.

Mother Qin watched Liang drink the decoction, and remembered that the yamen came in the evening, so she said. "Mrs., in the evening, the yamen handed over the news, Zuo County Commander said that Mrs. is the county lord, a daughter, and now the mountain bandits on Tiger Wolf Mountain are ready to move, two days ago they have slaughtered a village under the mountain, and they are about to run to Pengpu, Zuo County Commander asked Mrs. to go to Yamen to take refuge for a few days."

Liang endured the pungent smell of the decoction, drank the decoction in one go, handed the bowl to Qin's mother, and said coldly.

"This Zuo county commander is really good at doing things, and invited me to live in the yamen, does he really think that his broken yamen is some kind of iron wall? The mountain bandits on Tiger Wolf Mountain are all murderous and unblinking, and they have already slaughtered a village, if they kill Pengpu, can those wine bags and rice bags in the yamen be able to stop them?"

"Madam, if we don't go to the Yamen, where should we go? Although the gate of the house is reinforced, it is difficult to ensure that those mountain bandits will not come in through the wall, do you want the old slave to write a letter back to Chengjiang to the master, and let the master send someone to pick up the wife and the old lady, and the three girls go back together. ”

As she spoke, Mother Qin was about to turn around and get the pen and paper on the bookcase.

"If we write a letter back at this moment, I'm afraid it's too late, those mountain bandits slaughtered a village, I'm afraid that they are going to the city, if we let people send the letter back to Chengjiang, I'm afraid that people haven't gone to Chengjiang yet, and they will die halfway." Fortunately, she brought the black-clothed guards of the Liang Wangfu down, and she could let those black-clothed guards escort them out of the city at a critical moment.

It's just that those mountain bandits are all vicious thugs, slaughtering a village, the old people and children refuse to let go, if they collide, a bloody battle is unavoidable, even if there are black-clothed guards to protect them, I'm afraid it won't be much better.

Liang thought for a moment in his mind, thinking that it was better to tell Feng Lao'an about this matter first, and then say, she was the elder of the second room, and she had to be invited to get ideas about these things after all. Raising his hand, he instructed Qin's mother: "Qin's mother, you go to the back room, tell Mrs. Feng about the slaughter of a village by the bandits on the Tiger Wolf Mountain, and let Mrs. Feng strengthen her vigilance in the mansion these days, and let those little guards firmly watch the courtyard." ”

Mother Qin got Liang's order, let the little maid come in and clean up Liang's medicine bowl, and went to the direction of the back cover room.

In the hall, Gu Yutang was accompanying the Lin family to dinner.

Because today Lin ordered the small kitchen to make Gu Yutang's favorite sauce duck and corn sweet soup, he asked Mama Liang to call Gu Yutang over and accompany her to eat.

Lin looked at Gu Yutang with an absent-minded look, and after a few mouthfuls of rice, he was about to glance outside the house, as if he was waiting for someone to appear.

Following Gu Yutang's line of sight and glancing out, the Lin family didn't see anything, and no one came over here, so he asked in his heart, so he said: "Sister Tang, I asked the cook to make your favorite sauce duck and crispy chicken tonight, why don't you move a few bites?" Is this cook not what you like to eat, or what's wrong? ”

When Gu Yutang heard this, he turned his head and glanced at Lin's family, and used chopsticks to pick a few pieces of sauced fragrant duck and crispy chicken into his bowl, but he didn't move, but said: "Grandmother, the cook in your small kitchen is naturally delicious, but I don't have much appetite today, so I can't eat it." ”

Hearing Gu Yutang say that he had no appetite, Lin asked Ah Hua, who was standing behind Gu Yutang and gave Gu Yutang a piece of food, "Ah Hua, is your girl suffering from a cold?" How can there be no appetite? Is it that those of you who are waiting around you are not serving with all your heart?"
