Chapter 136: Parting

Leave note: Due to queuing to buy salt, wooden time code words, broken for 1-N days, I hope to understand.

…… Quack, just kidding. (I don't know if there will really be an author who can't update it for this reason, because, the queue to buy salt is really long).

……………………

Rong listened to Second Lady Qi's words and thought for a while.

"It's not easy to welcome a girl. Just speak my words, and spare her from asking for peace everywhere, and I will not use it here. Don't bother her with family affairs anymore, let her have a good life. Rong Shi instructed, and saw that the second lady Qi had a sad face, "The things of the New Year are complicated, you can't be busy, it's better to ......"

Rong turned his head and saw Xun Qingran waiting beside him.

"It's better to let the dyeing girl take over the cooking......" Rong said.

"She ......" Second Lady Qi smiled, lowered her head and pondered, noncommittal.

The little girl opened the curtain, and the eldest lady led Grandma Qi San to come in from the outside and salute Rong's front.

"Say hello to the old lady. …… Fang just came from the second grandmother's side, which is a great joy. The second master is not young, I have been worried about this matter day and night, and now I finally have hope," the eldest lady smiled.

"Well, I just said that I didn't want her to ask for peace everywhere. Let her take good care of the baby. Rong said.

"What the old lady commanded, I also instructed the people around her to take care of her, not to bother her with things, just look for me if you have something." The eldest lady chimed in.

Rong smiled and nodded, "You are her mother-in-law, and you have to take care of her more." ”

"Old lady, don't worry." The eldest lady said, "She still has a lot of chores in her hands, what arrangements does the old lady have?" ”

"Old lady, if the second sister-in-law is tired of this because of her housework, then there is no place to regret going...... "Grandma Qi said.

Xun Qingran lowered her eyes, Qi San's grandmother had a mouth, and she always had the ability to make people uncomfortable.

The eldest lady also felt that the third grandmother's words were not good, coughed twice, asked the third grandmother to shut up, and smiled at Rong's companion: "Seeing that it is the end of the year, I don't know how many things outside the house, I have to take care of them, I can't help but worry about it." ”

"This morning, the eldest lord asked for a few horses of reckless satin made on the top, and gave us a son who had just won the official position. Let people come to get it, and after waiting for a long time, they can't get the right cards. Because it was urgent, I had to scrape together and take out some of the bottom of the box, and finally made up half of the number, and sent it away, and the old man complained. I said that now that it is coming to the end of the year, there are many things at home, and the second wife is alone, and there are some who are too busy. The eldest man said that I shouldn't hide from the idle, I should always help. Second wife, do you say yes? The eldest lady smiled at the second lady again.

"When I got up in the morning, I had a lot of things to do in the two places of Sanssouci and the Pomegranate Courtyard, and then I came to see the old lady. The reckless satin,...... It's already ready, and it's been sent over. Second Mrs. Qi said with a smile.

"What's the matter, I've already paid for it. And this is still our own family, there is always something, and it is not a big deal, if something else goes wrong, the face of our Guogong Mansion will be ugly. The eldest lady said.

Second Lady Qi pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at Rong's family, and said with a smile, "Just now I was telling the old lady that there are many things, and I can't take care of them alone, so I need to find someone to help me." The old lady has already said that let the fourth daughter-in-law help me. ”

The eldest lady and the third grandmother looked at Xun Qingran together.

Xun Qingran smiled, but she didn't think so. The second lady of Fang Cai Qi was clearly not very willing to let her take over, and now her attitude turned 180 degrees, which made her speechless.

Without waiting for the eldest lady to speak to the third grandmother, the second lady Qi said again: "Although she has been in the door for a short time, she has done things safely. Besides, the affairs of the family should also be familiar to her. ”

"Well, the matter of welcoming the girl is also thanks to her quick opportunity. You take her with you and let her learn from her, Guan Bao is a good helper. Rong laughed.

"According to the old lady, these days when the girl is raising the baby, let her help with the cooking, it will be enough." Second Lady Qi said.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law settled this matter in a sentence or two.

Xun Qingran had no joy in his heart. Marrying Qi You, there is one thing that makes her quite satisfied. Qi You is not the eldest son, but she is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and she has to be very important, she is in the Qi family, her status is superior, and she doesn't have to worry about labor to take care of this big family's affairs. Her own attitude towards power and money is as long as it is enough, and she is not very enthusiastic.

But now......

"Old lady, madam, I'm young and don't know much, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on a heavy responsibility." Xun Qingran smiled.

"Let you learn from your mother-in-law, and your mother-in-law will have her own big things. You are young, and you must not be lazy. Rong said angrily.

Rong said this, Xun Qingran wanted to push two more sentences, but it was not easy to say.

And so it was settled.

The eldest lady sat for a while, and then took Grandma Qi San away.

The little girl outside reported: "The fourth master is back." ”

Xun Qingran took out his pocket watch from the placket and looked at it, it was still early for Qi Yu to go to court.

Qi You stepped in from the outside and saw Rong and Second Lady Qi, Rong asked him to sit down next to him, and Xun Qingran hurriedly brought ginseng tea and sent it over.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Yung asked.

“…… There is a decree from the saint that I should go to Baoding Mansion and take an errand and leave immediately. Qi Yu replied.

"It's about to be the New Year, so why do you have an errand." Rong complained, "How long will it take, will you be able to come back before the year?" ”

"It's hard to say, if it goes well, I can come back before the year."

Rong was a little worried, but he knew that the king's order could not be violated, "Did you tell your father?"

"I just came in from outside, and I've already told my father." Qi Yu said.

Rong asked Xun Qingran to quickly follow Qi You back to prepare, and asked him to bring a few more big sweaters.

The two went back to Ningyuan together, Xun Qingran called bellflower and malt to come over, packed the luggage and clothes that Qi You wanted to bring when he went out, and wrapped a pack of various pills for daily use, indicating the name of the medicine, the efficacy, and the method of taking it.

"When you go out to do errands, it's not like at home, there are always inconvenient places. These pills can be carried with them, or they can be saved. Be careful on the way to the fourth master. Xun Qing said.

"Don't worry, there are more times when you have gone farther than here in the past, and Baoding is close."

"Be careful with errands, too." Xun Qingran said again.

Qi Yu was serving the holy decree, and he didn't say what the specific errand was in Yinianju, Xun Qingran naturally didn't ask much, so he could only tell him to be careful in everything.

Qi Yu nodded.

Xun Qingran thought about it, waved his hand to send everyone in the house out, stepped forward to help Qi You sort out his clothes, and told Rong and Second Lady Qi that she asked her to take over the housekeeping.

“…… The second sister-in-law was like that, and the old lady and his wife said that I should share my worries, and I excused myself a little and scolded me for being lazy. Although my abilities are limited, I really can't refuse. I had to respond, but I really didn't know ...... bottom in my heart."

Qi You is in the house, everything is easy to say, but now that he is going out, some things are difficult to say.

Qi You lowered his head and looked at Xun Qingran, "And this is the case?" He pondered for a moment before he said, "You take Mama Song with you." ”

Qi You's answer is reasonable and expected.

Xun Qingran turned her head sideways and glanced at Qi You slightly, "I also thought of Mama Song. She has been serving in front of the fourth master for so many years, and I always want to respect her more. ”

Qi Yu didn't speak.

Xun Qingran took a deep breath, knelt down on Qi You's chest, and stretched out his hand to wrap around Qi You's waist, "Ning Yuanju's affairs are all taken care of by her, it's already too much work." Now there are a lot of things to come, and I can't get away with it. ……”

Qi You patted Xun Qingran's back, "You have something, just tell her." ”

Xun Qingran nodded, and asked again: "I don't know how long the fourth master has been gone, but what do you have to tell me?" ”

"Go talk to the old lady more,...... If you have something to do, you will tell Mama Song. ”

Qi You said, called in and Mama Song instructed: "Your grandmother wants to follow Mrs. to take care of the affairs of the house, you can follow and serve." ”

Mama Song bent her knees and blessed her, "The slave obeys grandma's orders for everything." ”

After sending Qi Yu away, Xun Qingran got up and came to Rong's side, and even used dinner with Rong's, and laughed again before returning to Ning Yuanju.

Xun Qingran was not used to letting people be on duty at night, and Qi Yu was not there, so according to her old rules at home, she only let the bellflower and malt rest in two shifts.

The bellflower waited for Xun Qingran to wash up, helped Xun Qingran get off the bed, and went out with the candlestick.

Xun Qingran was lying in the quilt, with two soup women under her feet, holding a hand stove in her arms, and the earth dragon was still burning in the house as usual, but she felt a little cold.

Is it because it is deserted, Xun Qingran thought with his eyes closed. Usually, Qi You is mostly not at home, but he doesn't feel anything, but now he suddenly feels a little lonely. It's just one more person and one less person, but there is such a big difference.

Xun Qingran hugged Qi You's pillow over, rubbed it with all his strength, and threw it on the ground.

"Grandma, what do you have to say?"

Kikyo listened outside and walked outside the curtain to ask.

"It's fine. You go to sleep. Xun Qing said.

………………

Early the next morning, Xun Qingran got up early, finished freshening up, and put a little more thought into his clothes, so he took people to the New Year's Hall.

Second Mrs. Qi hadn't gotten up yet, and was sitting on the kang with her clothes on.

Xun Qing came forward to say goodbye.

"Bring the pair of cards in the house to the fourth grandmother."

The second lady of Qi asked Wangcai's daughter-in-law to take the pair of cards from the inner house and hand them to Xun Qingran.

"This is the pair of cards for the inner house to support things, you hold it."

"Madam, what are you ......" Xun Qing said in surprise.

Second Lady Qi leaned back, "Last night, my body was a little uncomfortable. At this hour, those housekeepers' daughters-in-law should be waiting in front, and they can't be delayed for a moment. I won't go over, and your second sister-in-law will take care of these trivial matters in the past. I'll let Wangcai's daughter-in-law follow you, you can go with confidence. ”

Xun Qingran suddenly had some black lines. Second Mrs. Qi was obviously unwilling to let her take care of things yesterday, but then she had no choice but to let her help on the side. Xun Qingran thought in her heart that Second Lady Qi would not really hand over the power to her, but let her make a show and do chores on the side. Unexpectedly, Second Mrs. Qi let it go without warning

―――――

Xun Qingran shook Second Mrs. Qi vigorously: Hey, can you be a little responsible, who are you trying to fool like this?

First day of the meeting: Leader: Little A, you are in charge of logistics.

One minute before the meeting starts: Leader: Little A, today's pr is handed over to you, come on, don't mess up.
