In the warm pavilion of the small courtyard next to the maple forest in Baopu Garden, Xun Qingran was sitting on the kang and playing chess with Qi You, and when he heard Baozhu's report that Zheng Yuanshuo had killed someone and was arrested in prison, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Killed someone, what's going on?"

"Back to grandma, it was said that the uncle of the Zheng family went out to drink, and somehow competed with someone in the restaurant, so he made a move, and the person swallowed his breath on the spot. Uncle Zheng was arrested and put in prison by Shuntianfu. The second master of the house went to intercede in person, but the bitter lord was not an ordinary person, but also an official family, and silver was not rare, so he must find justice, saying that he also made silver in Shuntian Mansion. Now that a lesson has passed, the uncle of the Zheng family has been sentenced to death by beating him to death, saying that he will report to the Criminal Department and be beheaded after next autumn. ”

Xun Qingran listened to Baozhu speak, holding a chess piece in his hand, and did not fall for a long time.

"Didn't you say that he wouldn't go out to mess around after he got married, and now this kind of thing is happening again," Xun Qingran frowned.

Qi You lightly dropped his expectations and urged Xun Qingran to hurry up.

"He had such a thing before, but he didn't kill anyone, or made money, or entrusted favors, and gently let it go, so he connived into today's temperament. If he had been willing to teach him a lesson earlier, he wouldn't have fallen like this. Qi Yu said.

"Why not." Xun Qingran nodded, and asked Baozhu again, "Is Aunt Zheng okay over there?" ”

"Aunt Zheng is entrusting people everywhere to make the money count."

Aunt Zheng only has one son, Zheng Yuanshuo, who has always been short of him, and she refuses to let him die like this.

"I see, you go down."

Xun Qingran sent the orb out and gently dropped the chess pieces in his hand.

"Everyone is a relative, and Aunt Zheng is a very good person, it seems that she shouldn't say such a thing, but ......" Zheng Yuanshuo really deserves it.

Xun Qingran couldn't help but think of the old mansion in Yingchuan, that thrilling day, it seemed to be a past life, but in fact it was the beginning of this life.

"If my aunt comes to ask for ......," Xun Qing said.

"I don't have any errands now, I just sit at home." Qi Yu twisted a chess piece and thought about where to put it.

"What the fourth master said is that I was too worried. Even if my aunt asks for affection, she will only get one ......place in the end," Xun Qing said.

Qi Mansion Prayer Hall

Second Mrs. Qi sat on the couch, and across from her sat Aunt Zheng and Zheng Hao'er, both mother and daughter were crying and their eyes were swollen.

"My lord and I only had such a son. He has just become married, and he has no sons and half daughters, and if he goes like this, no one will inherit the master's incense. Later, when I went underground, how to meet the master, how to meet the ancestors of the Zheng family. Aunt Zheng sobbed.

Zheng Haoer lowered her head and wiped her tears.

"He is my own child, I know his temperament best, and he is not bad-hearted, but he is lazy and willful. He didn't want to kill the man, or he didn't take it lightly. This is really unjust, that day he and his daughter-in-law were angry and quarreled, his daughter-in-law had a hot temperament, and neither of them would give in. He went out in such a fit of anger, and was about to find someone to be angry, but he ......"

Second Lady Qi sighed again and again when she heard this.

"Now that the person is dead, let Shuo'er pay for his life, but he will not survive, so it is better for us to compensate him for more silver. I'd rather go bankrupt than exonerate Shuo'er. After that, I just locked him in the house and didn't let him go out anymore. Sister, you can save your nephew. Aunt Zheng begged Second Lady Qi.

"Sister, the second master went to ask for love in person. It's just that the facts of the case are clear, and there were many people present at the time, and the family was also an official, so they refused to let go. It's helpless. Second Mrs. Qi was embarrassed.

"Eldest sister, others are helpless, but eldest sister always has a way. The eldest sister begged for the concubine, and the big thing was resolved. Eldest sister, no matter what the conditions are, it doesn't matter how much money you spend, I'll go and kowtow to the bitter master. Aunt Zheng said.

"Please, auntie, think of a way for us." Zheng Haoer also spoke up.

Second Mrs. Qi stroked her forehead, looking embarrassed.

"Eldest sister, that family is just a seven-grade county order, an official the size of a sesame seed. When the housekeepers went out of the door, they were all more noble than him. Eldest sister, Shuo'er is your nephew. His life is all in the hands of the eldest sister. Eldest sister, I am also a lot of age now, and my hair has turned gray for the past two days for his business. The eldest sister can't bear to see me helpless for the rest of my life. If Shuo'er is gone, I won't be able to live, eldest sister. ”

Aunt Zheng said, crying and falling into the arms of Second Lady Qi.

Second Mrs. Qi was also a little sad when she heard this, and tears flowed from her eyes.

Zheng Hao'er sobbed while gently helping Aunt Zheng to her back.

"Mother, mother, you have to take care of yourself." Zheng Haoer cried.

"Eldest sister, I know this matter is not easy. But with the eldest sister's current identity and the eldest sister's means, only the eldest sister can save Shuo'er. ”

Second Mrs. Qi naturally couldn't bear to watch her sister white-haired person send black-haired people, but this matter was not easy to do.

Aunt Zheng saw that Second Mrs. Qi had loosened a little, so she actually got up and knelt down in front of Second Mrs. Qi on both knees.

"Ask the eldest sister to save Shuo'er, I will kowtow to the eldest sister." Aunt Zheng's eyes were a little straight as she spoke.

"Mother," Zheng Hao'er cried, "I'll kowtow to my aunt for my mother." ”

Zheng Hao'er said, and knelt down to kowtow to Second Mrs. Qi.

Second Mrs. Qi hurriedly hugged Aunt Zheng and asked Zheng Hao'er to help her up.

"That's it, that's it, we sisters, why do you have to do this."

"Eldest sister, you agreed." Aunt Zheng.

Second Mrs. Qi glanced at Zheng Hao'er, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, nodded, and made up her mind in her heart.

Second Mrs. Qi agreed to go into the palace to find the idea of the virtuous concubine, and Aunt Zheng and Zheng Hao'er returned to Xiangluo Courtyard to listen to the news.

It's just that after noon, the second lady of Qi did not leave the house, but the news came that the second lady of Qi fell ill.

Aunt Zheng suddenly panicked, and she was busy coming to the New Year's Hall again.

Second Lady Qi was only wearing a half-worn homely skirt, her hair was scattered, and she was lying on the couch with a frown.

Aunt Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and Second Mrs. Qi said that she had an old headache and couldn't get up at all.

Aunt Zheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"In the next two days, the document will be sent to the Criminal Department, if it is stamped with the big seal of the Criminal Department, even the gods will not be able to save Shuo'er."

Second Mrs. Qi said that she was also in a hurry, but her body was not angry.

"It's an old problem, it's a headache, it's better to say it's a heart disease."

"Eldest sister's heart disease?"

"It's Yi'er's marriage." Second Lady Qi sighed and said, "Every time I enter the palace, Niangniang always asks. Yi'er is not small, and this family matter has no clue, hey. ”

"How could the eldest sister make trouble for Yi'er's family?" Aunt Zheng was puzzled. Even if there is no virtuous concubine in the palace, with Qi Yi's appearance, character and family background, he will not worry about finding a suitable woman. What's more, everyone in the mansion can see that the Rong family likes Yan Mingyue to be the fifth grandmother of Qi Mansion.

"Originally, it wasn't difficult," Second Lady Qi said and became sad, "I was beaten in front of the minions. is to marry which one comes to the door, and how can he put my mother-in-law in his eyes. Even if it's excellent, it's just a face-saving relationship, and behind the scenes, along with those companions, I don't know what to think of me......"

It turned out that Second Mrs. Qi was worried that there was no majesty in front of her new daughter-in-law, and this worry was really not groundless. Aunt Zheng was speechless for a moment.

"If there is a daughter-in-law who knows the roots, is virtuous and generous, and sincerely respects my daughter-in-law, I will be able to get rid of my heart disease." Second Lady Qi said, looking at Aunt Zheng expectantly.

"This ......" Aunt Zheng's heart snorted and sank.

………………

The capital ushered in the first snow since the beginning of winter, and the leaves of the maple trees in Baopu Garden have almost fallen.

Xun Qingran sat alone on the kang in the warm pavilion, just before Zheng Yuanlang came to sit for a while, Qi You sent Zheng Yuanlang out, and he would not come back for a while and a half, because he said that he wanted to go out to walk the horse while he could.

Mama Xu led the little girl to come in with a tray.

"Freshly cooked**, and freshly baked dim sum, grandma try it." Mama Xu took two plates of dim sum from the tray, poured a cup of hot ** from the silver kettle, and put it on the table in front of Xun Qingran.

Xun Qing smelled the faint milky fragrance and the tempting smell of the dim sum, and felt her stomach squirm gently. She has been eating a lot lately, and three meals a day can no longer satisfy her, so she always has to eat such refreshments several times a day.

"This kid can eat more than Xuan'er." Xun Qing said, and then twisted a piece of snack. The fragrant and soft snacks were hot with a strong fragrance, Xun Qingran only felt extremely comfortable in his stomach, and his whole body became lazy.

"Grandma has such a good appetite, this baby must be a sturdy brother." Mama Xu said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Tang Da * Grandma is very happy this time, and in just a few days, she has lost weight." ”

"She's just pregnant, just get through this month." Xun Qing said.

Malt was pregnant again, not only Tang Younian, Xun Qingran and Qi You were also happy.

"Xuan'er, Fusheng and Tangtang, is anyone watching?" Xun Qingran asked.

"Back to grandma, the nurses are here, and Jin Ling is also waiting for her with someone." Mama Xu said.

"That's good." Xun Qingran nodded, "Tang Da * Milk went to the bellflower?" ”

"Yes." Mama Xu said.

"It's okay, they have nothing to talk about since they were young, and if she tries to persuade them, I will be completely relieved." Xun Qing said.

"Miss Kikyo can't turn a corner for a while, these days, it's time to figure it out." Mama Xu said.

"Well, that's right."

…………

In the back room, Malt and Kikyo are sitting on the kang and talking. Since moving to Baopu Garden, Xun Qingran no longer let the bellflower serve by his side, and arranged a back cover room for the bellflower to live, and sent two little girls to serve the bellflower.

“…… The second master of the Zheng family had already made his words clear in front of people that day, and he came to propose marriage in a serious way. Sister Kikyo, you have to say that you won't marry, Sister Kikyo, what are you thinking, tell me. ”

Kikyo bowed his head and did needlework, and did not answer Malt's words.

"Sister Kikyo, don't you like the second master of the Zheng family?"

Kikyo raised his head at this time, "Don't talk nonsense. ”

The malt burst out laughing.

"Second Master Zheng is a person with status, even if he goes to fill the house, he is not a good match." Kikyo Road.

"Sister Kikyo, I'm just afraid that this is not what I'm worried about." Mai said, "If I talk about identity, then I will not be where I am today." ”

Kikyo hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't mean you. You and Lord Tang are a perfect match. “

"We grew up together, and I will misunderstand my sister." Malt smiled, "I know what my sister is worried about, my sister is worried that Second Master Zheng is not sincere, right?" ”

"That day, because of the situation, Second Master Zheng had to say marry me. He is a kind man, and if he says something like that, he will not go back. But if I marry like this, I always feel, I always feel that ......" Kikyo's gaze is a little resentful.

Malt really had such an expression on his face.

"Grandma knows that's what my sister has in mind." Mai said, "Grandma said that she had a heart for this matter at first. But Zheng Erye said those words, which were not forced to be said by people, and there was no other way at that time. If he didn't like his sister, he wouldn't say anything like that. Later, you told your grandmother what you wanted, and she followed your mind and put this matter down. It was Zheng Erye who came to ask for a kiss by himself, if he wasn't sincere, where would this be. ”

"Grandma wants you to persuade me?"

"Well, my grandmother asked me to come. But these are also the words I want to say to my sister. Second Master Zheng has a good character and likes his sister, why didn't his sister agree. Is my sister afraid that she will treat Zheng Erye badly in the future? ”

"I'll be nice to him, of course." Kikyo rush.

The malt burst out laughing.

Kikyo found that he had lost his mouth, and lowered his head in shame, refusing to speak again.

"Sister Kikyo, you don't need to have a knot in your heart anymore. You have long liked Second Master Zheng, and grandma has known it for a long time. Grandma is willing to fulfill you. Malt said quietly.

"What?" Kikyo looked up in shock.

In the warm pavilion, Xun Qingran looked at the bellflower with a smile.

"Grandma, ...... servant" Kikyo is very embarrassed.

Malt came in from outside with bellflower and nodded to Xun Qingran secretly.

"I know it all." Xun Qingran smiled, "Kikyo, I believe in you." I'd like to see you get married. ”

Kikyo likes Zheng Yuen Long, she has known it for a long time. But she understands Kikyo's personality, and she believes that Kikyo will follow the rules if she marries into the Zheng family. It's just that the hand of fate turned the clouds and rained, and she gradually drifted away from that young time. And the mountains and rivers are restored, and another possibility has emerged.

Kikyo and Zheng Yuenlong, she cares about these two people and has some good expectations for their future. There is affection and fate between them, Xun Qingran will not hesitate to be the hand that pushes, she hopes that they are happy and happy, and I believe that with her understanding of the two, it is difficult for these two people to be unhappy.

Xun Qingran's simple sentence contains a lot of meanings, and the bellflower obviously understands it.

"Grandma'......" Kikyo was full of tears.

"I'll change that name in the future." Xun Qingran said with a smile, "I asked Yazi to bring a few girls, you go and pick two, slowly adjust/teach, and bring them over in the future, I can also help you." ”

Kikyo blushed, and was about to speak, when he saw Qi Yu hurriedly walking back from outside.

"What's wrong?" Xun Qingran saw that Qi You's face was not good, and hurriedly asked.

"The old lady is sick.".
