In the last book, Jiang Hongsheng lamented that the water in the capital is getting muddy and muddy, and it is impossible to distinguish between them.

Gu nodded approvingly.

"No matter what, Yao'er is always my own daughter, even if the Xiao Mansion is down, there is still me, no matter how bad it is, there are still two younger brothers to rely on."

Jiang Hongsheng's words turned around, and his eyes were clear and said: "A few days ago, the eldest brother talked to me about the separation of the family, and now I think about it, this family is the time to divide it, in case there is something on Yao'er's side, I am the head of the family in this house, who dares to say more?" ”

Gu Shi smiled bitterly and said, "The second master can plan for Yao'er, which is a blessing for this child." ”

Jiang Hongsheng said with a look of shame: "What stupid thing to say? This child is sensible and obedient, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and has suffered so much since she was a child, I don't plan for her, for whom? In the past, it was I who neglected her, and I also wronged her, I didn't know that the evil beast had no humanity and was so vicious. ”

When Gu Shi heard this, tears fell again.

Jiang Hongsheng stepped forward and took Gu's hand, and said softly: "Yuzhen, I am telling you this today, I am selfish, the old lady is my mother in the end, give birth to me and raise me, I can't watch her go, the old lady will not live long, even if there is Imperial Doctor Xiao's help, it will only be a year or two." Yao'er is my daughter, she is still young, who can I wrong, except for wronging her? We've been married for twenty years, my heart, don't you understand? ”

Gu Shi cried: "I just feel sorry for the cane my daughter received, how much bitter medicine I have to drink, and how long I have to recuperate." This child has never stopped taking medicine from small to large. ”

Jiang Hongsheng sighed lightly and stepped forward to hug Gu. He lamented: "Why don't I feel distressed? The old lady has always had such a temperament in her life, who can persuade her? After dividing the family, the old lady is willing to go to Suzhou Mansion with her eldest brother to raise her, or follow us, depending on her willingness. Our family is behind closed doors, and I will only watch over you. ”

"Guarding me?" Gu sneered.

Jiang Hongsheng knew that she didn't believe it. didn't say much, just said word by word: "Yuzhen." Believe me! ”

Because of Xin Yao's explanation, Gu Shi saw that the heat was almost over, so he nodded lightly and said, "That's it." If I don't go through this experience, I will really become that unfilial person, and I will go to Xiao Mansion early tomorrow morning. The ugly words are ahead, whether I can invite Mrs. Xiao, I can't say. ”

Jiang Hongsheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "It depends on whether the old lady has this blessing." ”

Gu Shi wiped the corners of his eyes and said gently: "Second master, what are you going to do?" ”

Jiang Hongsheng said in his heart: "This will be a mess in the house, and I don't have the heart to think about it, let's let it go for a while." Knowing that he has a good life and a good life, it's okay! ”

Hesitated for a moment. He said again: "I won't tell you the truth, I let them go when the third brother was the first time." ”

Although the Gu family had heard Xin Yao talk about this a long time ago, he still pretended to be surprised and said, "Second master? ”

Jiang Hongsheng looked bitter and recalled: "When I was still young, I once overheard my father talking to my second uncle. I knew some things about my father and Miss Xu's family. That year, I happened to see Xu's letter to my mother, and I learned that my father had set up an outroom in the capital. Even the children are more than ten years old. I guess the outer room should be the Miss Xu family who has passed away a long time ago.

The old lady discussed with me about going to Beijing, and I knew that the old lady was afraid that she was going to do it, so I sent my henchmen to the capital first, first inquired about the appearance of the mother and son, bought two people with similar figures from the traffickers in the capital, and bought a small house in a remote place with a private house, and bought the subordinates of the Hou Mansion to escort the mother and son, transferred the bag, and placed them in the small house, and outsiders thought that the two of them were sent out of the customs and went to the northwest. Hey, there is no need to go into detail about the twists and turns here. ”

Gu sighed: "The second master acts like this, and he is not afraid that the old lady will make a big move after finding out?" ”

Jiang Hongsheng palpitated: "Afraid, why not afraid?" I'm scared to death. For some reason, I thought that the man was my own brother, and I couldn't bear to see them die. It's just that at that time, I obeyed the old lady's orders in everything, and even you couldn't protect me, and that's all I could do. Later, when they moved, they lost contact. It's been more than ten years, and today is the first time I've talked to anyone. Yuzhen, for the third brother, I feel guilty in my heart. If it weren't for my mother, my father wouldn't have died early, and my father's body has always been very good! Hey, in the final analysis, Yao'er's incident is also because of me. ”

"Why did the second master say this?"

"A few days ago, it was rumored that Xu Sizhen of the Hanlin Academy married Qingwangfu, and some colleagues in the yamen talked about Xu Sizhen's appearance, and I became suspicious, thinking that the third aunt was also in the Hanlin Academy, so I asked him to inquire in private. This kid is a solid one, and he actually drew a portrait to show me, and when I looked at it, wasn't it the third brother, and I panicked and forgot to bring the portrait back. That's why there is Guiyuntang. ”

"It's strange that Miss Dao San went to the northwest corner a few days ago, but I'm afraid that she took the portrait and secretly asked Aunt Zhou about it." Gu Shi gently and softly.

Jiang Hongsheng listened, became angry, and couldn't help sneering again and again: "I knew that I couldn't get rid of her, and I dared to make waves with brocade clothes and jade food, and from tomorrow, Zhou's food and clothing will be halved, and all the people waiting for her will be withdrawn, let her do everything by herself!" If you want to cry, send it directly to Zhuangzi! ”

Jiang Hongsheng said to himself: "You also have to restrain the people in the house, Yuan Chen will end up this month, you must not be disturbed by others, those girls who are dressed beautifully and have improper hearts will all be sent out to me, so as not to bring my brother bad." Uncle Xinna's aunt, you send more people to keep an eye on it, I always feel that this niece is not simple-minded. ”

Gu nodded his head one by one.

……

Early the next morning, Gu went to Xiao Mansion with a cart of supplements, and when the porter saw that it was Mrs. Gu, he didn't dare to slack off, so he respectfully stepped forward and welcomed people in. Li's mother, who had already received the news, was waiting halfway.

When Gu saw his daughter, he naturally cried sadly, but fortunately, there were Mother Li and others on the side to comfort him, so he stopped it.

The mother and daughter talked secretly in the study for a long time, and Gu carefully told a few big girls before going to the west courtyard to say hello to the old lady.

Xiao Ting explained before his grandson left, and knew the purpose of Gu's trip, so he didn't take Qiao at the moment, and gladly agreed.

Gu's heart was moved, Ying Ying walked to Xiao Ting, kowtowed three times, and said sincerely: "Yao'er can get such a courteous elder, it is really a blessing from her previous life. ”

Xiao Ting sat upright and accepted her three heads, and then followed the Gu family to Jiang's mansion!

……

Old Lady Xiao came to the Jiang family in person, which made the eyes of the people in the Jiang Mansion who gathered in Guiyun Hall look at the second wife with a slight change.

Jiang Hongjian and the brothers saluted with the people in the two rooms, and then respectfully invited people in and stood behind the old doctor.

Xiao Ting slowly stretched out four fingers, closed his eyes, and frowned slightly.

The brothers stared at every subtle expression on the old lady's face, anxious, but they didn't dare to speak.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Ting opened his eyes and coughed weakly.

Jiang Hongsheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Old lady, how is it?" ”

Xiao Ting glanced at him, didn't speak, picked up the old lady's other hand, closed her eyes and continued to check the pulse.

When the brothers saw this, they only felt that their feet were weak, and their foreheads were oozing dense sweat.

After another quarter of an hour, Xiao Ting withdrew his hand and said coldly: "Let people take off the old lady's coat, you all go out, I want to apply the needle." ”

The brothers retreated to the outer room, took the tea handed by the maid, and sat and waited with the others.

After more than half an hour, Xiao Ting, with the support of his personal servant, walked out with a pale face, drank a few sips of hot tea, and looked at the people in the hall slowly.

He said slowly: "The old lady was stimulated to cause half of her body to be paralyzed, speechless and lethargic, and it will take 3721 days to get better, and from tomorrow, she will come to pick me up on time at 3 o'clock." ”

Jiang Hongjian hurriedly asked, "Imperial Doctor Xiao, ...... old lady like this?"

Xiao Ting glanced at him coldly, rolled his eyes upward, and said very unceremoniously: "After my treatment, two or three years, it just depends on how to recuperate." However, people who have had a stroke are most taboo and moody, if there is such a thing again, hmph, you don't have to invite me again or again, just prepare for the aftermath. ”

Jiang Hongjian half-bowed, and said yes again and again.

Xiao Ting got up, took a pen and paper, opened a prescription, handed it to Jiang Hongsheng, and said meaningfully: "Life is rare for seventy years, ask you how many springs and autumns there are, Bai Bi is easy to bury eternal hatred, and the old lady who is a sixtieth person also needs to see through and let go of all fate." If it weren't for Mrs. Gu's personal begging, this Jiang Mansion, I would never come again, Jiang Shaoqing is familiar with poetry and books, and naturally understands that 'if you are too big and don't complain, the more sparse you are...... The more sparse, the more unfilial piety'. ”

Jiang Hongsheng's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Junior, thank you for the advice of the old lady." ”

Gu stuffed a silver ticket into Xiao Ting's hand, Xiao Ting snorted coldly, and walked outside with his hands behind his back.

The brothers personally sent them outside the gate of the mansion, and when the carriage was far away, they glanced at each other, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and returned to the mansion.

Since then, the carriage of the Jiang Mansion has appeared at the gate of the Xiao Mansion on time every day.

Seven days later, the old lady was able to open her eyes and swallow something. Half a month later, the old lady was hungry, and she knew how to call people when it was cold, and she could say a word or two with difficulty.

When the people of the Jiang Mansion saw it, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

At this time, another inhumane incident happened in the capital. The dignified Guozi Supervisor Zheng Saijiu fell to the ground because of the sedan chair he was sitting on the way back to his home, and his leg was broken.

On the second day, Zheng Xianjiu limped and was helped up to the temple. King Jing snorted coldly a few times, and asked unceremoniously: "The sacrificial wine is expensive this year, and even the upper hall needs to be supported, and the position of this sacrificial wine should also be given to the virtuous."
