He has always been indifferent and withdrawn, and he was suddenly coquettish by the delicate and soft little girl holding her arms, and suddenly he was a little dazed.

But Mingshu, who was asleep, felt that the things she was grasping did not move, so she was relieved, rubbed against her cheeks, and continued to sleep with her eyebrows bent.

She dreamed that she was still at home, her parents hadn't left yet, and she was coquettish by her grandmother's side.

Gu Huali waited for a while, and when he saw that Mingshu was asleep, he withdrew his hand. This time it didn't alarm the little girl, and he planned to go back and continue reading.

Before she turned around, the little girl raised her paws like a puppy and grabbed his sleeve at once.

Gu Huali: "......"

Gu Huali raised Mingshu's flesh claws with a little disgust and gently threw them aside. Just as she was about to turn around, she put her little white hand into the quilt again, and then walked out.

He only walked out of Picking Hongxuan a few steps, and saw his mother-in-law leading Lang Zhong to come in a hurry, and saw him hurriedly salute.

Gu Huali nodded lightly and looked at Lang Zhong, who was sad for half a hundred, "The sister-in-law didn't recover from typhoid fever a few days ago, and it is menacing again at this time," the grim-faced young man actually bowed his hand to the master, and his tone was earnest, "Please bother more." ”

When he heard that the old disease had not been cured and a new disease had been added, Lang Zhong's expression became grim.

Gu Huali left.

Lang Zhong walked in with his mother-in-law, and saw that Mingshu was sleeping soundly, so he hurriedly checked Mingshu. It wasn't until I finished taking the pulse that I was puzzled.

This is obviously not a sign of a long-term illness, but it ......

Lang Zhong withdrew his hand, got up and smiled at his mother-in-law: "The little lady's foundation is not good, and the old illness adds a new disease, so she must have a good life and recuperate." ”

He also wrote the prescription and handed it to his mother-in-law, "You must take care of it carefully, otherwise the consequences will be serious." ”

The mother-in-law originally thought that this illness had nothing to do with her, but as soon as she heard the words that the consequences were serious, she knew that it was also her own fault for not taking good care of her, and her face immediately became serious.

Seeing his mother-in-law's face like this, Lang Zhong's expression became gentler. Twisting his beard, he smiled: "Then I'll take my leave first." ”

The mother-in-law sent the little maid to send him out, and she stayed in the yard to take care of Mingshu.

……

Li Jiabai only went home, and learned that Mingshu had annoyed the old lady again, and Mingshu was sick.

"How's the old lady?" Li Jiabo couldn't help frowning.

Zhao raised his hand to take off his coat for him, and sighed, "The old lady's body is quite tough, and it is okay." Glancing at her husband's face, "I heard that Ling Ling had not recovered from the cold before, and now he is very sick." ”

Li Jiabai sat down, poured a cup of tea for Zhao and handed it over, "You have worked hard these days. ”

Zhao's eyes were red, so he lowered his head, pressed the corner of his eye with a handkerchief, and said with a forced smile: "As long as the old lady is tough and the backyard is peaceful, you can work hard outside, and I will be happy." ”

Li Jiabo squeezed his wife's hand under the table.

Zhao lowered his head, but he was thinking in his heart, the old lady loved her sister-in-law, and she hated Ling Ling very much. But Ling Ling is the only bloodline of the sister-in-law, if she is too cold-blooded at this time, she will regret it in the future, and it will be difficult to make up for it. The old lady was confused for a while, but her husband would not be confused.

There are some things that are difficult for the husband to say, so he might as well come forward.

So he raised his face, sighed, and said with a sad smile: "Ling Lingcai is so young, he has no parents, and no brothers to support. A family like Pingxi Houfu, a lonely little lady, I am afraid that life is sad. As uncles and aunts, we still have to support Ling Ling a lot in the future. ”

Li Jiabai smiled and said, "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!" ”

The two talked about business again, and Li Jiabo remembered his son's proposal, so he told Mingshu to study with his sisters in the family.

Zhao naturally had no objections, but couldn't help but ask more, "Are you going to ask Ling Ling to stay at home for a few more days?" Then I'll send someone to send a letter to the Gu family tomorrow to say something. ”

Li Jiabo didn't shake his head or nod, but said: "I'm afraid this matter is not simple." The third master of the Pingxi Hou Mansion and the officials of the imperial court also dared to rob and kill, and the ordinary mountain bandits did not have the courage. ”

Zhao was shocked and looked at Li Jiabai. Li Jiabo didn't say anything more.

The third master of the Pingxi Hou Mansion and the second official of the first class, how could there be mountain bandits who dared to rob and kill? Mingshu's temples ached suddenly.

Her fever subsided in a short time, but she was still lying in bed. It's boring.

Her parents are gone, and she is left with only her grandmother. In her previous life, her grandmother died when she was thirteen years old, and because of the loss of her parents, her grandmother had been in great pain for the past five years.

But because of this, the sisters and brothers of the entire Gu family all disliked her. After her grandmother's death, her second aunt was mean, and she was harassed by her sisters from time to time.

At that time, she was isolated and helpless, only hated her own life, her parents went early, but she never thought about why her parents died.

Now it seems that it is very likely that someone deliberately murdered him.

But she can't rush, she has to check slowly. The first step is to protect yourself first, and you can't go with the flow anymore.

The maid came in with a tray and said softly, "Cousin, you've been sick for a day, let's eat something." ”

Mingshu suddenly became hungry, and poked her head out of the bed, "Okay." I couldn't help but glance at what it was.

It turned out to be a bowl of plum soup cakes and a plate of plum parfait, as well as a few delicately arranged cream rolls. The plum-shaped soup cake is sprinkled with lovely green onions and green shoots, and the scattered ham is red.

Mingshu swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly, and obediently let the maid help her out of the bed. added a pillow to her, and Mingshu sat at the kang table and ate pastries and soup cakes.

The maid saw that she was in acceptable condition and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The mother-in-law came in from outside and said respectfully: "The eldest lady gave her cousin a large handful of bird's nest, as well as a pound of lily and half a pound of white fungus, and half a frame of good pears." It's good to recuperate for the girl, don't hurt your throat and lungs. ”

It's just a cold wind, so many things are sent, which shows Zhao's attitude.

Zhao's attitude is also the attitude of his uncle, and Mingshu's heart is slightly warm. Huan Huan accepted it, and generously rewarded his mother-in-law.

……

The old lady's illness is not serious, but she is old and cannot be stimulated, so she must recuperate.

"I'm so bitter in my heart...... the old lady leaned on the kang and stared at the dust on the roof.

The old lady patted the old lady on the back, and sighed sadly, "You also have to take care of yourself." ”

"Why doesn't Sister Lan listen to me? I have to marry into a family like Pingxi Houfu......" Tears fell in an instant, and the old lady choked, "Now that the innocence is gone, I can't vindicate her grievances." My sister Lan, ......"

The old lady couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she quietly turned her face away.

Outside the window, it is full of spring and very bright. The old lady waited for the old lady to cry better before she said, "My cousin was sick yesterday when she hid in the garden, and it is said that she is very sick. ”
