Chapter 204: Grandmother's Help
The matter of Cheng Qi going to the Guogong Mansion to make trouble, no matter how much Sanfang hid it, was still known by Mrs. Cheng, and after the person learned the reason, he was also furious, but because Cheng Yunduo intended to offer her alive, Mrs. Cheng had no way to do it, but just asked Zhou's mother to send some things over.
In the living room of the villa, there are rockery plants in the distance, and there is a cool stream flowing quietly under the stone bridge nearby, and the scorching heat of midsummer is washed away a little bit, listening to the sound of the water, the birds and cicadas are singing, and there are many interesting things in the heart.
Zhou's mother was sitting and waiting, and Qingmiao next to her brought tea.
This girl left the Guogong Mansion, walking, sitting and standing more freely, only a few days, the whole person was raised white and fat, Zhou's mother looked at it, and said fondly: "Qingmiao, you have gained a lot of weight." ”
Qingmiao smiled shyly and said lightly: "Mom, please sit down first, and our girl will come later." ”
Zhou's mother said: "Don't be in a hurry to call the girl. He lowered his voice and said helplessly, "The matter of Zikuang, the Wuyuan side also knows about it, I heard that the girl is now running around all day in order to raise money, and the business of Sanzhuang is also very busy, and she only sleeps for two hours a day, and she is very tired." ”
Qingmiao also felt sorry for her girl, and the little child also learned to sigh.
Not long after, just when the teacup in Zhou's mother's hand bottomed out, Qingmiao raised her head and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The girl is here!"
After saying that, she added tea to Zhou's mother and stood quietly aside.
Mother Zhou looked over when she heard this, and there was suddenly more pity in her eyes.
Cheng Qi lost weight again.
She was born with a small skeleton, and when she was fleshy in the past, she was the most well-proportioned water spirit, but now she is busy and thin, and the whole person looks thin, and the dark green under her eyes is really distressing.
This damn Cheng Yunduo.
"Girl......"
Zhou's mother was about to stand up as she spoke.
Cheng Qi didn't take Zhou's mother as an outsider, so he didn't dress up very carefully, he was only wearing a bedgown, covered with a thin shirt, his freshly washed long hair was scattered behind his back, and he pinned it casually with a brush, his face was delicate, with a light smile in his eyes, and he said busily: "Mom sit." ”
Zhou's mother didn't shirk either, sat down again and said, "The girl has been tired lately." ”
"It's fine."
Cheng Qi didn't have the character to complain about anyone, so he also sat down and said, "But grandmother wants my mother to come?" He picked up the freshly poured tea on the table and drank it, and quipped, "But you're here to deliver the baby?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhou's mother lowered her chin and whispered with guilt in her eyes: "The girl also said, why did she have such a big problem with Sanfang, and she didn't say a word with the Wuyuan side." ”
Cheng Qi was stunned for a moment when he drank tea, the smile on his face slowly retracted, and he said cautiously: "So, grandmother already knows?" Child...... What happened over there in the sub-mine? ”
Mother Zhou nodded, clenched her fists and said: "The girl went to Changyin Pavilion that day and smashed it to a pulp, and everyone knew about it, the old lady called the third master to go, and asked for a long time, but the person didn't say anything, or the second master couldn't hold back, and told everything, and the old lady only knew." ”
"Cheng Spruce?"
Cheng Qi was slightly surprised, and sneered: "This second uncle is really going to mess around. He pursed his lips slightly, he has been a little angry recently, and his lips are peeling and bleeding, "Then grandmother knows, what do you say?" ”
"What else can I say."
Mother Zhou sighed and said, "The old lady is very angry, but now there is nothing she can do." Leaning forward, "The girl also knows, our old lady...... That's just in name, and that Ge envoy is respectful on the surface, but behind his back...... That's it. ”
Cheng Qi naturally knew and nodded.
"The old lady scolded the third master with a bloody squirt." Mother Zhou continued, "But the attitude of the third master ...... It's also a hob meat, and I can't say anything about oil and salt, so the old lady asked me to send something over early this morning. ”
Cheng Qi raised his head slightly: "Something?" What is it? ”
As she said this, she already had seven or eight guesses in her heart, and sure enough, Mother Zhou withdrew the rest of the waiters in the hall, took out three silver tickets from her arms, and pushed them over with a folded board.
Cheng Qi didn't look at it, and said, "I can't ask for this, mom take it back." ”
"Girl."
Mother Zhou sighed: "This is 30,000 taels of silver tickets, although it is ...... It can't be completely filled, but it's still a lot to save for emergencies, the old lady hasn't saved much over the years, girl, you take it first, the matter of the sub-mine should not be underestimated, once it is discovered by the court, it is a sin of beheading. ”
patting Cheng Qi's somewhat cold hands, Zhou's mother said solemnly: "Girl...... It's not like you haven't tried it on that guillotine, it doesn't taste good. ”
Cheng Qi frowned and thought in his heart for a moment.
"That's fine."
Cheng Qi put away the silver ticket, and then said: "The deficit of the sub-mine is really urgent, and if I resign my grandmother's silver now, I will also be pretending." "However, I will never take this money from my grandmother in vain, so that I will definitely return the IOU to my grandmother with interest." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou's mother sneered.
Cheng Qi was puzzled: "What is Mom laughing at?" ”
Mother Zhou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Before the old lady sent me, she also said so, she said that the girl would definitely make an IOU, and said that you have a stubborn temper, and want me to listen to you and accept the IOU." ”
When Cheng Qi heard this, his nasal cavity suddenly pantothenic acid, and he also smiled.
At that time, my grandmother refused to come with them to live in this villa, and I was afraid that she did not want to burden the long house.
"It's still grandmother."
After Cheng Qi finished speaking, he asked Qingmiao to take a pen and paper, typed down the IOU, and put it away by Zhou's mother.
"I should have kept my mother for dinner." Cheng Qi said, "But there is no shortage of people to serve my grandmother, and I trust my mother more than Aunt Hongginseng, who is always sloppy, so I will rush back as soon as possible." ”
Zhou's mother bowed her head and bowed and left.
After Cheng Qi saw her off, he exhaled, sat back in his chair, took out the three silver tickets and looked at them, but his consciousness wandered away unconsciously, in the end, he was too tired recently, as long as he was not busy, he would be sleepy.
"What is this?"
Cheng Yan's voice sounded, and at the same time, the silver ticket in Cheng Qi's hand was also taken by him.
"A silver ticket from my grandmother." Cheng Qi said lightly, "Thirty thousand taels, I have already sent an IOU to my grandmother." ”
Cheng Yan responded lightly and didn't say anything else.
"By the way, uncle, don't call him nonsense."
Cheng Qi rubbed the corners of his sour eyes and said, "He is not the only one on the dock, and if the embezzlement of official money without permission is discovered, it will also be a disaster." ”
"I've already told my uncle." Cheng Yan glanced at him and said, "Even if he uses the money from the dock, it is just to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, so ...... The uncle scratched and pulled, and barely took 50,000 taels. ”
"The 70,000 taels from Cheng Yunduo's hand, plus the 30,000 taels given by my grandmother and the 50,000 taels from my uncle." Cheng Qi cleared, "It's 150,000 taels, and the rest is barely enough for 200,000 taels, so it's still 100,000 taels." ”
She calculated, suddenly covered her face annoyedly, and said with emotion: "It is said that our Cheng family has money, but which of these money is not a radish or a pit, take this, you have to use the side to make up, there is a lot of money in the village, but it is all dead money that cannot be moved at will, to put it mildly, it is still not rich enough, and there are still two months to pay to the court, what can I do." ”
Cheng Yan looked at her like this, and didn't say any useless words of comfort, only thinking in his heart about making up for the deficit of the sub-mine, but racking his brains, there was nothing good to do for a while.
"Girl!"
Sister-in-law Zhang came in from outside and said excitedly: "Good thing, girl! ”
Cheng Qi looked up and looked at her: "What's wrong?" ”
"Did the girl hear that?" Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't wait to say, "That Mrs. Jia, the continuation of Ge Envoy Jun, was in charge yesterday by the Queen Mother, rehabilitated her mother's family, and gave her mother a posthumous seal. ”
"And such a good thing?"
After Cheng Qi's heart heard the good news, he relaxed a little, and glanced back at Cheng Yan, who was also a little surprised.
"Not really."
Sister-in-law Zhang smiled.
…
…
It turned out that just half a month ago, the queen mother went out of the palace to pray for blessings in the Pu Temple in the capital, because of the sudden rain, he lived there for a night, who knew that the queen mother Jin Zun Yu was used to it, but also the temple did not take care of it, so that the wet and cold air rushed in and injured the queen mother, and the rats were frightened, and they committed a rare high fever.
And at the moment when the Taiyi acupuncture failed to work several times, an old woman in the temple said a prescription, I don't know where to get a lot of unnamed wild vegetables, mashed the porridge, and gave it to the queen mother.
But it's also strange, the high fever that made the imperial doctor anxious, after drinking this old girl's wild vegetable porridge, miraculously got better, and that old girl is Jia's mother.
At the beginning, Jia's father and brother were wronged and died of illness on the way to exile, and her mother was disheartened and became a sister-in-law, also for the sake of her daughter's face in the future.
Now it's okay, after the queen mother rescued her, she was allowed to return to the vulgar, helped her redress the grievances in her family, and also sealed the wives of many dignitaries and nobles who couldn't ask for it, which is a step to the sky.
Now, when the Queen Mother has nothing to do, she summons her mother into the palace to chat, and only treats her as an old sister.
And Chia's.
Naturally, he also turned over and sang the serf.
This can be seen in Ge Yuanjun's attitude towards her today.
At the Cheng family party a few days ago, Ge Yuanjun still treated this Xu Xian like a stranger, and wanted to maintain the vicious concubine Sui Linglong everywhere, but the current situation, in the mouth and eyes of Ge Yuanjun, where is there still Sui Linglong's shadow, and it is full of Jia Xinlan in front of him.
The two sat side by side, I didn't know what was greasy among them, and I really thought it was a couple with deep love.
"Desert."
In the clean and elegant small hall, everyone is sitting cross-legged on the futon, and the people who are constantly walking in the hall are waiting, they don't say a word, their movements are neat, and they still have a faint fragrance.
Ge Yuanjun raised the wine glass in his hand and said to Cheng Qi: "This cup is for you, thank you for sacrificing your life to save my beloved wife that day, great kindness, unforgettable." ”
Cheng Qi hurriedly straightened up, raised his glass and said, "It's really tormenting me to make you like this." ”
As she spoke, something suddenly came to mind.
Then the more he smiled, the brighter he became.
