One, four, five, night

Ning Yuanju was brightly lit in the warm pavilion of the upper room, Xun Qing was dyed on the kang, the bellflower was sitting on the edge of the kang, and the other girls each moved a small pestle to sit on the ground, chattering and talking while doing needlework.

"The fourth master has been out for a few days, and I don't know when I will be able to come back."

"Didn't you say that if you can come back before the smooth year, it should be soon."

Xun Qingran pursed her lips slightly, presumably Qi Yu had been gone for a long time, these girls weighed her mind, and deliberately said this to make her happy.

Xun Qingran took out his pocket watch, and it was already the right time, so he was the first to put down the work in his hand.

"It's getting late, let's all go back and rest." Xun Qing said.

The two servants of the bellflower malt Xun Qingran fell asleep, and they also went back to their rooms to rest.

Xun Qingran felt as if he hadn't slept for long, when he heard a gentle knock on the door outside, and then Kikyo came in softly from outside holding a candlestick.

Xun Qingran stood up from the bed and asked what was the matter.

"Back to grandma, the third grandmother's hospital sent someone over, saying that the third grandmother was a little uncomfortable, and asked grandma for some snake gall Sichuan shellfish pills." Kikyo replied.

Xun Qing got up from the bed with a dyed cloak.

"Which one was sent, tell her to come in and talk." Xun Qingran commanded.

"It's Mama Cai."

Kikyo agreed and withdrew.

Xun Qing dyed her skirt and went to the outside compartment.

Mama Cai was already waiting there, and when she saw Xun Qingran, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Say hello to the fourth grandmother. The third grandmother is down today, and her throat is not very comfortable, thinking that the fourth grandmother is busy, she doesn't dare to disturb, and she will endure it. Who knew that at night, the cough was even worse, and he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so the troublesome third master had to move to the study outside to sleep. The fourth grandmother really couldn't get through it, so she guessed and told the minions to eat the snake gall Chuanbei that was newly matched the day before yesterday, and knew that the fourth grandmother had it, so she asked the minions to ask for some. Mama Cai said to Xun Qingran with a smile.

Xun Qingran sat on the kang, because she was sleeping soundly, she suddenly got up, and her eyes were a little unable to open, but she still beat her spirit and asked Mama Cai: "What's going on, do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"

The third grandmother said that there was no need to bother to ask for a doctor. I think it's because I've been taking care of Brother Mao for the past two days, and I'm tired, so it's a little cold. ”

Xun Qingran nodded, and then ordered Kikyo to go and get a bottle of snake gall Chuanbei pills.

Mama Cai reached out to pick it up.

Xun Qingran sighed and asked a few girls who came to serve, "Didn't you send some of this pill to the third grandmother just a little later, did you be lazy and didn't send it?" ”

Baozhu hurriedly stepped forward, "Back to grandma, the maid has already sent it to the third grandmother." ”

Xun Qingran pretended to be angry and said, "You didn't lie, since you sent it, it's only been a few days, why is the third grandmother gone." It can be seen that you are not telling the truth. ”

"The maid didn't dare to lie, when she sent it at that time, it was Mama Cai who took it." Baozhu said, glancing at Mama Cai.

Mama Cai smiled wryly, "Grandma, don't wronged Miss Baozhu, this pill, the third grandmother got it, but she couldn't help eating it, but in the past two days, the third master, Brother Mao, the third grandmother, Aunt Yan, and several girls in the house are all a little bad, knowing that this medicine is good, they all ate it." ”

Even if this pill is precious, eating it to nourish your throat, it can't be regarded as eating jelly beans.

Malt brought a cup of hot almond tea, Xun Qingran took it, took a sip, and ordered someone to prepare a coat.

"Your grandmother is a very trouble-free person, and she is sick and she doesn't tell anyone. How can I just take medicine, I don't feel at ease if I don't go to see it. ”

Mama Cai still laughed, "Grandma works hard every day, how dare you do it." ”

Xun Qingran wore a big coat here, ordered the little girl to lead the way with a lantern in front, and took a group of girls and mothers-in-law to the Peony Pavilion.

The upper room of the Peony Pavilion was really lit up, and Xun Qingran walked into the courtyard, and only then did the two girls pick it up.

"How's your grandma?" Xun Qingran asked, and before he entered the door, he heard a cough from inside.

The little girl opened the curtain and invited Xun Qing to enter the door, and saw that Grandma Qi San was coughing at the bedside, and a little girl took a sputum box and waited by the bedside.

"Why did the third sister-in-law cough like this?" Xun Qing said.

Grandma Qi San didn't seem to expect Xun Qingran to come, and deliberately asked, "In the middle of the night, why did the fourth brother and sister come?" He complained to Mama Cai again, "It's just a matter of letting you find a few pills wherever you go, the fourth grandmother is the hardest, how can you disturb her." Then he reprimanded the little girl who was waiting, "The fourth grandmother is here, and you don't say a word, you should have told me to go out to greet you." It's so rude now. I don't know, I think we don't know the rules of etiquette. ”

The little girl moved over the embroidery pier, Xun Qingran smiled, and sat down next to Grandma Qi San's bed.

"Where does your family pay attention to you, this is the pill that the third sister-in-law wants." Xun Qingran asked the bellflower to send the porcelain bottle.

Grandma Qi San took the porcelain bottle, opened the stopper, and smiled when she saw that it was full of bottles of pills.

"The fourth brother and sister are too polite, just let people send them over, why bother to run so late, it really makes me feel uneasy."

"I heard Mama Cai talk about the history of my sister-in-law's illness, but I can't rest assured to come and see." Xun Qingran said with concern, "It's better to ask a doctor to take a look." ”

Grandma Qi San shook her head, "I still don't want it, I took this medicine, and I'll talk about it tonight." Brother and sister, let's be a concubine, I told my brother and sister that I am not so squeamish, I work as a family in the middle of the night at every turn, and the doctors of the entire Tai Hospital have been invited, so don't let people say that our family is frivolous."

Xun Qingran smiled and didn't answer.

Grandma Qi San meant that since Grandma Qi raised a baby, she had asked a doctor for medicine many times, but it was not as exaggerated as Grandma Qi San said.

"I'm still in charge of my younger siblings, and I treat it well. If it's ......," Grandma Qi San pointed to the east, "When you're in charge, you don't care if we live or die." ”

Grandma Qi San said, leaning on the pillow with satisfaction.

Xun Qingran raised his hand and stroked his forehead, sighing in his heart.

I don't know that Grandma Qi San is the logic of the gods. When she met someone who didn't pretend to her, she only dared to complain in her heart, but she was honest in action. encountered that she did not snub her because she was a daughter-in-law, but treated her well, but she tossed desperately.

Xun Qingran couldn't help but think of a movie she had watched in her previous life, where a woman took two guns, one pointed at herself and the other at a man, threatening the man to let her go with her lover. The man asks the woman why he thinks this is a threat to him. The woman's answer leaves people speechless, and the woman says because you are a good person. Because he is a good person, he can't bear to watch her die, because he is a good person, he is threatened by her, and he will not retaliate against her ruthlessly.

Thinking far away again, Xun Qingran gently covered the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief to hide the yawn that was about to exit.

Grandma Qi San seemed to be a little embarrassed when she saw Xun Qing's tired face.

"My brother and sister are busy now, and the whole family is all done by my brother and sister alone, and I am very tired to think about it."

"I don't dare to say I'm tired." Xun Qingran said with a smile, "I really want to find someone to help me, but my wife won't allow it." If I show a little bit of tone, I will scold me for being greedy for leisure and deliberately lazy. ”

Xun Qingran watched Grandma Qi San take the pill, and she was still not at ease, so she sat with her for a while, and her face became even more tired.

Grandma Qi San said a word, and she didn't see Xun Qingran answer for a long time, it turned out that Xun Qingran was already leaning on the head of the bed, her eyes slightly closed.

"I see that my younger siblings are almost asleep, so let's go back and rest." Grandma Qi San giggled, she had just taken the medicine and stopped coughing.

Xun Qingran really couldn't support it, smiled apologetically, stood up and came out with someone to say goodbye.

Grandma Qi San asked Mama Cai to send it all the way out and send it directly to Ning Yuanju.

Xun Qing dyed into the door, and ordered someone to lock the door.

After a while, Mama Cai saw that first the lights in the upper room went out, then the lights in the east and west rooms were also turned off, and then the lights in all the lower rooms were extinguished.

Mama Cai didn't follow Ning Yuanju, and she didn't go far. Ning Yuanju first went to the room to turn off the lights, and then went to the east and west rooms. Mama Cai watched Ning Yuanju fall into darkness, so she trotted back along the way she came.

Ning Yuan lived in the upper room, and Xun Qingran sat in the dark.

"What is the fourth grandmother going to do?" Dong'er asked softly.

Just now, Mama Cai came to look for snake gall Chuanbei, and Xun Qingran asked people to quietly go to the pomegranate courtyard on the grounds of looking for medicine, not to alarm others, but to find Dong'er.

"I'll have to rely on Miss Dong'er for a while." Xun Qing said.

I listened to the clock in the corner of the wall striking twelve times in the middle of the night.

After a while, Mama Song quietly came in from outside.

"How?" Xun Qingran asked.

"According to grandma's instructions, grandma went to the peony house, and the slave took people to guard nearby, and sure enough, I saw a mother-in-law sneaking around, and as soon as the time came, the slave let people arrest her."

Sure enough, someone was looking at the wind here, Xun Qingran nodded, and the matter had another chance of winning.

"Can you ask that?" Xun Qingran asked again.

Mama Song glanced at Dong'er and replied, "If you go back to grandma, there is indeed a gamble in the Peony Pavilion." The minion didn't ask which room it was. ”

Xun Qingran nodded, since it was a big gamble, naturally he would not let these people on the periphery know the specific location.

"Let people be optimistic about her, Mama Song, you brought someone with you."

Mama bowed down and agreed.

Xun Qingran came out of Ningyuan with people, everyone carried a lantern, but they didn't light it, only Malt carried a glass palace lamp, illuminating the road for Xun Qingran, and the rest of the people took advantage of the moonlight to walk quietly all the way.

Not far away is the gate of the Peony Pavilion, and Xun Qingran made everyone stop. Ordered to go down, Mama Song took Dong'er and entered through the West Corner Gate, the Tong family and Baozhu entered through the East Corner Gate, and Xun Qingran led people to enter through the main gate. The rest of the people were guarding around the Peony Pavilion to prevent people from jumping off the wall in a hurry.

"My word, tonight is done, everyone has a reward. The first to find the gambler, the one who caught the leader, and the one who caught the gambling money, were rewarded. Be careful if you accidentally leak the news and let the thief go, you will be severely punished. Xun Qingran finally commanded.

Xun Qingran has already made a wish, caught this big gambler, and all the confiscated money was rewarded to everyone. Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men.

And the people received the commandment, and scattered.

Xun Qingran then led people to the gate of the Peony Pavilion, only to see that the door was closed and locked.

Xun Qingran didn't let people call the door, only waved her hand, and a mother-in-law stepped forward and opened the door with a key, and everyone rushed in. At this time, the guard next to him realized that he was about to shout, and he had already been gagged by Ning Yuanju's mother-in-law, and he was put to the side to watch.

Xun Qing entered the gate and looked around, the surrounding houses were pitch black and silent, obviously not alarmed, and saw two torches lit up in the backyard.

Xun Qingran nodded, and the people who followed lit the lanterns in their hands one after another, Xun Qingran relaxed his steps and walked to the upper room.

When she came to Qi San's grandmother's bedroom, Xun Qingran asked Malt to come forward and knock on the door, but no one responded. The mother-in-law who followed stepped forward and leaned on the door and listened for a while, only to hear the sound of Suo Suo inside, but no one answered.

"Back to grandma, there must be someone inside." Mother-in-law said.

Someone didn't answer the door, Xun Qingran thought about it a few times.

The light was lit in the ear room next to her, and Aunt Yan came out of the ear room wearing a cotton jacket, and when she looked up, she was stunned when she saw that it was Xun Qingran, and she hurriedly came forward to salute.

"I've seen the fourth grandmother."

"Well," Xun Qingran raised her hand to let Aunt Yan get up, "Your grandmother is sick, but she refuses to ask for a doctor." I just went back and thought about it, but after all, I couldn't rest assured, and I still had to ask the doctor to take a look. Wake up your grandmother. ”

Aunt Yan looked at the door of Grandma Qi's bedroom, and stood still, "When did Fourth Grandma come in, why didn't there be any sound at all?" ”

"I don't know how loud it is for my aunt to hear it?" Mai Mai raised her eyebrows, "Our grandmother kindly came to ask the imperial doctor to treat the third grandmother, and after coming for half a day, not a single slave came to agree." Now standing outside the door, blowing a cold wind, knocking on the door and knocking on the door are sore, and you have said so many things to your aunt, but no one has come out to answer the door. Auntie, you don't appreciate our grandma, but you came to help, but said that our grandma's voice was soft, what kind of truth is this? ”

Aunt Yan's face turned white, and she stepped forward with a smile.

"It's the slave who said the wrong thing, please atone for your grandmother." Aunt Yan said with a smile.

Xun Qing pointed to the door.

Aunt Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door and said, "Grandma, the fourth grandmother has come to see you." ”

After knocking for a while, no one came out inside.

"I think my grandmother took medicine and slept deeply. The fourth grandmother feels sorry for our grandmother, so it's better to wait for the dawn to let people come to see it. ”

What's going on?

Xun Qingran motioned for Aunt Yan to continue knocking on the door, and at the same time quietly stepped back and nodded to the stout mother-in-law next to her. The mother-in-law pretended to lose her foot, and hit Aunt Yan hard, and heard the sound of the door bolt breaking, Aunt Yan couldn't retract her feet, slammed into the door, and fell to the ground.

Mai led people into the house with lanterns first, and the house suddenly lit up.

Xun Qingran then walked into the house, ignoring the little girl who was cowering in the corner.

"Third sister-in-law, I've come to see you. Are you feeling better? ”

Xun Qingran walked to the side of the bed, only to see that the bedding on the bed was neat, but it was empty, and there was no half of a figure. Xun Qingran couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth. Life is full of accidents, where did Grandma Qi San go?

――――――

It's a fat chapter again, ask for pink.
