Chapter 21: The second aunt's heart hurts
Liu Yi was puzzled, but he also knew that he couldn't talk too much about his master's affairs. She clenched the note, and said solemnly before leaving, "Miss has her own way of doing things, don't ask." β
When the maid in the courtyard heard this, she immediately understood, lowered her head and whispered, "Sister Liu taught me a lesson." β
"Hmm."
After that, Liu Yi walked quickly to the back of the cloud courtyard, lit a match, and a blood letter burned to ashes.
At this time, Qin Yunshu was sitting on a cotton blanket covered with red embroidery, thinking about Zhao Ruyu's request.
entered a plum banquet in the palace, and rushed to the front to steal the limelight. Now, my buttocks are injured like this, and I still want to go to the Ningjiang banquet.
It was a banquet for rewarding soldiers, which was different from a plum banquet for women.
Qin Yunshu's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but raise his hand on the table and look at it carefully.
Her thoughts shifted, and she thought of meeting Jinyan in the teahouse, and they met one after another in a short period of time, as if there was something inexplicable pulling in the dark.
She understands, that thing is called fate. If she hadn't been born again, she wouldn't have that thought right now. But now, she is unconsciously ashamed.
Seeing him again made her feel like she was in a different world.
Thinking of this, the corners of Qin Yunshu's lips were hooked, and his white fingers were gently beating.
"Miss, Aunt Zhuang is here."
Outside the house, Liu Yi called back her thoughts, and she immediately got up and walked out the door while replying.
"Please."
Saying that, Qin Yunshu opened the door himself, walked to the courtyard in a few steps, and saw Aunt Zhuang standing at the gate of the courtyard with a plate.
The maid in the courtyard immediately let people in, and Aunt Zhuang said respectfully as she walked, "Miss, listen to the steward, you have been talking about the bean curd cake I made recently." β
Qin Yunshu looked down at the white bean cake, and when he got closer, the fragrance was fragrant, and it was still hot.
"Auntie, you just returned home today, you should have a good rest. Just because of my words, I cooked it myself. β
That being said, the movements of his hands were very neat, and he took it, "Let's go into the house and eat together." β
After that, the free right hand was about to hold Aunt Zhuang, but he stretched out halfway and took it back, turned his head and instructed Liu Yi, "Lead Aunt Zhuang." β
She had been treating her aunt harshly before, and the change was too big for her aunt to stand it, so she had to take her time.
Aunt Zhuang followed Liu Yi, walking very carefully, and her heart trembled.
It has been more than ten years since she was an aunt, and this is the first time she has entered the eldest lady's boudoir. The cloud courtyard is the best lit courtyard in Qinfu, except for the master's courtyard, this one is the largest, with the most flowers and plants.
I didn't expect her to come in in this life. Suddenly, his gaze shifted, and he cautiously glanced around with his peripheral vision.
The dΓ©cor is simple, but it is full of elegance.
"Auntie, sit. I just don't have a meal, so come with me, right? β
The sudden question interrupted Aunt Zhuang's thoughts, and she hurriedly waved her hand, "No, I'll go back." β
"My mother is gone, and while she was alive, you were the person she trusted the most. Now, you are my ......"
Qin Yunshu smiled with crooked eyebrows, but halfway through the words, he saw Aunt Zhuang's anxious face.
"Miss, I have no disagreement with your mother. For the master, there is only respect, no side thoughts. β
"You've misunderstood me again, anyway, you're going to stay and dine with me."
Qin Yunshu didn't say much, and directly glanced at Liu Yi and asked her to serve a meal.
"Auntie, sit down and talk to you about Shuyou."
As soon as the topic changed, Aunt Zhuang's eyes also changed, no longer anxious but overflowing with concern, "Steward Wang said that the rules of Yuelu Academy are that you can only go home once a month, and you are not allowed to visit during this period?" β
Qin Yunshu hummed lightly, "Yes, for the sake of Shuyou." β
Even though there is a lot of reluctance, but compared to the parting, the joy is heavier, "Thank you, Miss." β
"I only hope that Shuyou can become a talent."
She knew that Shuyou was influenced by her father and liked to read. In her previous life, she didn't have time to develop, so she sacrificed herself for her.
Now, as long as Shuyou likes it, she supports it.
"Miss, a letter from Jiangnan."
At this moment, a respectful call came, and then the steward of the king bowed down and entered with a letter with a yellow cover.
Hearing the word Jiangnan, Qin Yunshu suddenly thought that the second room of the Qin Mansion was now in Jiangnan. There are not many heirs of the Qin family, and the previous generation has a total of two rooms.
The father was kind, thinking of his only younger brother, although he was a concubine, he also placed several courtyards in the southwest of the Qin Mansion.
On the surface, brothers love each other, but in fact, her second uncle is a person who likes to mess with flowers and grass, the second room is smoky, and there are many concubines and juniors.
And her second aunt, Mrs. Erfang......
Thinking of this, Qin Yunshu's hand hidden in the sleeve clenched, and the fire that ruined her appearance was put together by the second aunt and Zhao Ruyu!
The sky was full of firelight, and the cloud courtyard was burned clean, and she was stunned by the smoke at that time.
When she woke up, the burning pain in her face almost made her faint again. The moment she saw the mirror, she went crazy.
The wound is not good, the skin and flesh are turned out continuously, the blood has already dried up, and it is full of layers of gray and yellow powder, which makes people nauseous!
The funny thing is that on the first day she woke up, her second aunt was still in her house, crying uncontrollably.
"My Shu'er, why are you so miserable? It hurts, doesn't it? The second aunt's heart hurts, she is so dignified, how can it be! β
Presumably, under the expression of crying and mourning, he concealed his excited heart.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
The sudden light call brought back Qin Yunshu's flying thoughts, and she immediately returned to her senses, "I'm fine, since I'm from Jiangnan, I must be the second uncle." β
As he spoke, his fingers turned slightly to open the envelope. The writing is extremely sloppy, from the second uncle's subordinates, and he likes to write wild grass the most.
She has followed her father for many years, and she has recognized the calligraphy font all over again, but others don't know it, but she can see it clearly.
It turned out that her scheming second aunt had been recuperating in Jiangnan for a year, and her health was getting better, and she was clamoring to come back recently.
What can I do when I come back, isn't it Xiao Xiangqin's family business?
Qin Yunshu folded the letter in two or two and ordered, "Steward Wang, reply the letter for me, and say that he sent a lot of maids out of the house not long ago. Now there is not enough manpower, and if you force yourself back, you are afraid that you will not be well served and you will lack food and clothing. β
Steward Wang was stunned when he was said, didn't he dispose of Mama Zhou, and the others were still there.
"By the way, one more thing, the weather in the capital has been bad recently, many people have a cold, and the doctor can't be busy."
After that, Qin Yunshu saw that the king steward was still standing, and couldn't help waving his hand to urge, "Why don't you go quickly?" β
With an urgent call, Steward Wang didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly said yes, then turned around and left quickly.
The inner meaning of the eldest lady made it clear that she didn't want the second room to come back.
Seeing Qin Yunshu's firm attitude, Aunt Zhuang couldn't help but be a little worried, and said boldly, "Your meaning is so obvious, according to the temper of the second lady, it will make trouble." β
When he was not sick, the loud voice was scary, and the second master was also reprimanded many times.
A woman who has been married for many years is spicy when she is a girl. A gentle and elegant, not yet out of the cabinet. If there is a dispute, she is afraid that the eldest lady will not be able to defeat her.
