I said earlier that Ye Rong was sick, and now she is even sicker, and Mrs. Ye, as a mother, is false to say that she is not distressed.

"In that case, we should go and see her!" Sure enough, Mrs. Ye worried: "Rong'er, this child, I know, she is the strongest, and with the previous incident of Li Jiayi's mother, Rong'er also said that she and Ah Sheng really had a lot of differences, so I'm afraid that what I said in the letter is not true enough." ”

Ye Lusheng knew that Old Madam Ye was earnest, so he first persuaded him, thought about it and said, "It's really difficult to get out of the city gate now, I have to go to the front and ask." ”

It is very difficult to get out of the city gate at the moment, Ye Lusheng visited the trusteeship for a long time, and only then did he find a groom who was going to send things out of the city for the Dongying people in three days.

Mrs. Ye took out the jewelry she had hidden, and handed it to Ye Lusheng for some money: "It doesn't matter if it's more expensive, let's go early and come back early, just take care of it!" ”

How did she know that Chunwen had seen these jewelry, she immediately reported to Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu and Lu Qingzheng had a headache for the high expenses of the Lu Mansion, and when they heard that Mrs. Ye could easily rent a carriage at this time, she couldn't help but wonder: "Where did she get all this money?" ”

Lu Qing closed the account book, intentionally or unintentionally: "This Ye family has not been demolished yet, so let's not talk about it first; Mother, there is a saying that 'the foundation has failed, but the branches and leaves still exist'. Mrs. Lu listened, looked at the account book again, and already had an idea in her heart, she said in a low voice: "People die for money, birds die for food, Lu Liufang, you are also a member of the Lu family, don't blame me now......"

Three days later, the horseman drove the carriage to stop at the back door of the Lu Mansion, and Mrs. Ye lifted the curtain to take a look, and saw that it was full of stuffed things, so she couldn't help frowning and said, "How can this sit people?" ”

The groom had already received the deposit, and now he was a little impatient and said: "It's good to have some cars, if I hadn't stopped by and wanted to accumulate some yin virtue, I wouldn't have done this headless thing." ”

Ye Lusheng smiled and said, "Little brother, don't worry, my mother didn't mean that." Then he turned his head and said, "I see, there are two people in this carriage, and there is no other stuff." ”

Old Madam Ye was also a little displeased: "I can't find anything else?" ”

"Mother, now that you take someone out of the city without permission, you will indeed be arrested by the Yamen, and this little brother has also taken a big risk" Ye Lusheng coughed, so he had to say: "In this way, you and Xiuwan go, I think Rong'er should be fine." ”

Old Madam Ye thought about it, it's okay, Ye Lu has pneumonia, and the attack is even more serious this time, so she nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll come back as soon as possible." After that, Xiuwan helped her get into the car, and Ye Lusheng quietly stuffed some money to the groom: "My mother will bother you to deliver it safely." ”

The man checked the money in his hand, and naturally agreed with joy, and rode away.

Ye Lusheng and Zhuo Gui went back to the house and changed into dirt-resistant clothes: "Zhuo Gui, let's go." "They are still working in that restaurant, getting up early and staying up late.

However, Ye Lusheng has recently been taken by a Dongying woman, and every time she pulls him and asks him to accompany him to drink, compared to physical work, it is naturally much easier to accompany him to drink. Every time he came back from there, Ye Lusheng had to go back to the house to take a bath first, and only after the smell of alcohol on his body could he go to see Mrs. Ye.

The face of the Ye family, he unconsciously worshipped this thing extremely religiously.

A few days later, when Ye Lusheng and the others had just left the Lu Mansion, two or three people came from the corridor, the first one pointed to the door of the old lady Ye, nodded secretly, and then only heard a few keys colliding, the door of the old lady Ye was quickly opened and closed, and then only heard a few soft barks of the dog raised by the Lu Mansion, and it was slowly quiet again.

Since the end of the year, the Li Mansion has been a little depressed.

Master Li came back drunk every day and scolded Waikou for being a jackal, tiger and leopard, and then Lingxin and the others had to make great efforts to persuade him to go back to his room to rest; There are fewer and fewer people in the Li Mansion, and the housekeeper said: "Now that everyone has been impacted, where can we support idlers if we can't make ends meet?" ”

The Li Mansion has been reduced for a while, and there are only about a dozen of the more than 60 maids and family members who used to be.

Li Sheng didn't care about the big changes in the Li Mansion at all, and he was also drunk every day, but unlike Master Li, who drank proudly, he raised a few little people, and drank with him in the backyard wing every day, and he was drunk like mud......

At first, Ye Rong could still persuade him, and beat those little ones with family methods to cry and call their mothers, even if Li Sheng sneered and said, "What else does Li Mansion have now besides a few acres of ancestral land?" I see that the court will have to send it out soon after, you scold me for not knowing how to make progress, you tell me, what else is worth my effort? ”

"Listen, are you what a man should say?" Ye Rong's family fought hard, but Li Sheng didn't move: "You fight, I'll thank you for killing me." ”

Ye Rong felt aggrieved every time, and when she wanted to make a fuss, she found that the current Li Mansion had already changed, and the two masters who should have stood up had become drunkards who dreamed of death, so she had no reason to be willful anymore.

All the big and small things in the Li Mansion had to fall on her, not that she didn't persuade Zhiniang to stop Li Sheng, but as soon as the green branch entered the room, she was scared and cried, how could she expect it?

And I heard that Luzhi had nightmares every night, so Ye Rong had to send Wu'er over to serve.

went back and forth, until she heard that the Ye Mansion had been occupied by foreign criminals, and the life and death of the Ye family were uncertain, that she breathed tight and collapsed to the ground.

Although the Li Mansion is still there, they all look at the top of the Li Mansion and there is no positive shape, and everyone can't help but be in danger. A few people who were worried that the Li Mansion would also be occupied by that time had begun to quietly steal the things in the mansion, and were later caught by Cui Ping and kicked out with a mouthful.

When Master Li was awake, Ye Rong was lying on the bed, and she had to tell Cui Ping to move the Li family's account books to her room. Seeing that the property under the name of the Li Mansion was divided again and again, she was also anxious with Master Li, and almost fainted several times.

Lu Zhi didn't dare to see Li Sheng, so he had to come over every day to serve Ye Rong to drink medicine: "Grandma Shao drink a little more, and only when her body is better can she continue to look at these things; The green branch is useless and cannot be shared for you. ”

Ye Rong drank it dry in one go, took Lu Zhi's hand again, and said, "Good sister, you can also see what the situation of the Li Mansion is now, I just ask you to help me take good care of the ingots." ”

Green Branch hurriedly agreed, and comforted him for a while before going out with Wu'er.

"Alas, I don't know how long it will take for the young grandmother to recover." Lu Zhi sighed and said, the depression of the Li Mansion has nothing to do with her, but she really feels sorry for Yuanbao, and she shouts every day to see her grandmother and mother, but one is sick and the other is drunk, and it is not good to see anyone.

Wu'er walked to the side and said, "The young grandmother's illness really won't get better for a while." ”

Lu Zhi wanted to cover her mouth, and said hurriedly: "Sister Wu'er asked me to be cautious in my words and deeds, why am I so careless?" ”

Wu'er shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Where can I take care of it now?" Everyone is thinking about how to survive until the next day, and who cares what you say or do? ”

Lu Zhi retracted his hand in a daze, and Wu'er said again: "Actually, the young grandmother's illness, listen to the doctor, you can get better by recuperating slowly; is still sick in bed now, it is nothing more than seeing the old master and the young master so depressed, and his heart is depressed. ”

"Well, that's true." Lu Zhi smiled faintly, took the medicine bowl in Wu'er's hand, and said, "Anyway, I don't understand anything, I just need to serve the young grandmother to drink medicine every day." ”

Wu'er smiled reluctantly, she was still so optimistic at the moment, she couldn't help but think of the green branch back then, timid but a little stubborn, and sighed in her heart: "Fortunately, after so many years, there is also a person who has not forgotten his nature." ”

After a few times, Ye Rong felt that the medicine tasted bitter and difficult to swallow, and spit it out a few times. Cui Ping went down and ordered a few times, but there was still no change, and Lu Zhi said on the same day: "The cook has changed, maybe she is not very good at decoction...... When I was in the backyard before, I also decocted medicine for the old lady, so I might as well be responsible for the young grandmother's medicine in the future. ”

Cui Ping naturally agreed, and looked at her mockingly: "Zhiniang is really respectful to the young grandmother." ”

Lu Zhi was a little unsure of how to answer, but Wu'er took the medicine in Cuiping's hand and said with a smile: "If decocting medicine for the young grandmother is respectful, then Zhiniang is really not as good as Sister Cuiping, Sister Cuiping has served the young grandmother for many years, and she really treats the young grandmother as a bodhisattva!" ”

Cui Ping pursed her lips, said no more, and went to the back room to serve. Green Branch went out with Wu'er, and she said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Wu'er, for speaking for me like this." ”

"You're just too weak to be bullied." Wu'er has long regarded Luzhi as a sister, and the two of them do not distinguish between master and servant on weekdays, and they can be regarded as taking care of each other.

"It's a hand." Green Zhi was choked by the medicine stove and sneezed several times, and she laughed at herself: "I've been a Zhiniang for so long, I haven't done anything, and I forgot what I knew before." ”

Wu'er helped her watch the fire of the stove, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing with this?" Is it really because it's cold, find a way to bake the fire? Wu'er was holding a fan in her hand, fanning it all at once, she really couldn't understand that Ye Rong was not good to the green branch, and the green branch was really ...... to her Be respectful.

"Sister Wu'er is laughing again." Lu Zhi smiled a little embarrassedly: "As for me, I see that the young grandmother is a woman's family, and she is really capable of managing the Li Mansion; Second, these days are really boring, and I'm looking for something to pass the time. ”

Wu'er knew that Green Branch was a simple-minded person, so he didn't ask any more questions, and sat quietly on the side, watching Green Branch busy with a serious face.

Lu Zhi opened the lid of the medicine and looked at it, and smiled at Wu'er: "If my sister is bored, go first, I'll just guard here." ”

Wu'er remembered that the clothes that Yuanbao had changed yesterday had not been washed, so he looked left and right and went.

The smiling face of the green branch was as cold as frost after Wu'er's figure disappeared into the doorway.
