Chapter 235 Cool Down

In the upper room of the main courtyard, Xun Qingran was listening to Mama Xu's report.

“…… The people of the fifth aunt and grandmother have returned, and the mother and daughter of the Yao family have been taken away by the people of the fifth aunt. Mama Xu said.

"Oh, what's going on?" Xun Qingran couldn't help but put down the teacup and asked.

"It was the fifth aunt who took people to the Dizang Nunnery first, and wanted to take the mother and son away. The nuns in the nunnery did not agree, saying that they were ordered by their wife, and if they did not have a wife, they could not just let people take the three people away. The fifth aunt had no choice, so she left a few people in the nunnery and came to the governor's mansion to see her grandmother. Later, the people of the fifth aunt and grandmother went, and the people in the nunnery saw that there were people from the governor's mansion, so they asked the people of the fifth aunt and grandmother to take the mother and son out. Then, the fifth aunt's people handed over the mother and son to the fifth aunt's people. Mama Xu replied.

"Fifth aunt and grandmother, do you know?"

"Back to grandma, I already know. It seems that the fifth aunt and grandmother instructed it so. ”

Xun Qingran nodded, "I know." ”

The two of them, bellflower and malt, were waiting on the side, and when they heard this, they were a little puzzled, "Just now in the Dizang Nunnery, the fifth aunt and grandmother looked like they were going to eat Yao's, why did they deal with it like this now?" ”

Xun Qingran and Mama Xu glanced at each other, and Qi Wanrong's thoughts were not difficult to guess.

Whatever, Xun Qingran thought to himself, he could lend it to Qi Wanrong, and he had already borrowed it, Qi Wanrong had a good deck of cards in his hand, no matter how he played, it was a win-win situation, who let the family have a super plug-in, an old brother like Qi You, the emperor of Pingxi Town.

"Grandma, the fifth aunt waited in the front yard for a long time, and then begged the little maid to send a letter to the second gate, asking to see grandma, saying that if grandma is inconvenient to see him, let him meet the fifth aunt and grandma." Mama Xu said to Xun Qing again, "Grandma, see if you want to see him." ”

"Let's hang it out first." Xun Qing said. She didn't have the heart to listen to von Dengke's argument. "What's going on over there with the fifth aunt?"

"When the fifth aunt and grandmother arrived at Mulan Courtyard, they said that they wanted to take a nap, and quietly sent someone to the front yard to see the situation of the fifth aunt."

…………

"The man let the uncle's people take it away?"

In Mulan Courtyard, Qi Wanrong reclined on the couch and asked a mother-in-law standing on the ground.

"Yes, according to Grandma's orders, the slave handed over the slut to the uncle's person. Uncle is now in the front yard, sending someone to deliver a letter to see grandma. said that it was all a misunderstanding, and it was necessary to explain it clearly to grandma, so that grandma could not fall for Yao's evil woman, which ruined the relationship between husband and wife. The woman said with a smile.

"It's not the first time he's said this." Qi Wanrong sneered, "I thought I was really so easy to coax." ”

"This time is different from last time," the woman said, "this time I made trouble with my wife, and my uncle was really afraid, and he was in a hurry because he was afraid that the adults would know." This time it should be able to be completely cut off. ”

"Let him go in a hurry, see if he dares to do this in the future." Qi Wanrong's face was colorful.

"According to the slave, the uncle is good to the grandmother. The Yao family's affairs, the uncle did a bad job, it's just that the Yao family is a good person, and there are also people who deliberately provoke the uncle and grandmother, and such tricks are also common for slaves. Grandma always has to make up her mind, don't hit the mouse and hurt the jade bottle. The woman laughed.

"I'm measured, you can step down."

…………

It was already the time to hold the lamp, and Feng Dengke was still in the side hall of the Governor's Palace.

"Uncle, we're going to close the door and lock it." A man who looked like a steward came in and laughed.

Feng Dengke was stunned for a moment, he asked someone to pass it inside a few times, but there was no news, Xun Qingran didn't say no, let alone wanted to see him, Qi Wanrong's side, he also used the money to dredge, but he didn't get any news. He sat here for a long time, only a cup of tea, and no one prepared dinner, and the little servants seemed to have forgotten that there was such a guest as him, but now it meant to drive away guests.

"There is a housekeeper Lao," Feng Dengke said with a smile, "I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”

In the upper room of the main courtyard, Xun Qingran got the news, and heard that Feng Dengke had left, but he didn't take it to heart.

"The fourth master doesn't know where to camp today, and the snow group doesn't know if he caught the prey." Before going to bed, Xun Qingran thought.

………………

On this day, as soon as Xun Qingran got up from a nap, Qi Wanrong came.

"It's stuffy in this house, let's go to the garden to cool off." Xun Qing said.

"The pavilion by the lake has the best scenery, and people are being arranged to pick lotus seeds, water chestnuts, and dig lotus roots in the lake, and grandma and aunt are just going to take a look." Mama Xu said.

Qi Wanrong naturally said yes.

The two of them went out to the back garden, and sat down in the pavilion, where the girls set a table with chilled grapes, watermelon, red dates, and various pastries. Xun Qingran talked and laughed with Qi Wanrong, while watching the boat lady holding the boat and shuttling on the lake.

"It's comparable to the weather in the house." Qi Wanrong sighed.

Xun Qingran shook his head, "The artificial traces are heavier, and they can't compare to the delicacy of those small bridges and verandahs in the mansion." ”

"Fourth sister-in-law, should the fourth brother come back today?"

Xun Qingran nodded, "I said that I would go out for two or three days, and I would come back today." ”

"Fourth sister-in-law," Qi Wanrong stopped talking.

"If the fifth sister has anything to say, just say it." Xun Qingran withdrew his gaze from the lake.

Qi Wanrong peeled a grape and ate it into her mouth, she was a little hesitant. In the past two days, Feng Dengke has come to the house every day to guard, and yesterday she sent someone back to get a change of clothes, so Feng Dengke brought a letter to her. The letter was sincere, saying that it was only Yao's yin* before getting married, and other than that, it had nothing to do with Yao's mother and son. It was Yao's who pestered him and played all kinds of tricks in order to separate the feelings of their husband and wife. The letter reviewed all the sweetness of the two since they got married, and swore that they had sent Yao's mother and son far away, and there would be no such thing in the future. begged her to remember the kindness of the husband and wife and forgive him.

The mother-in-law who came back with the letter also told her, "If the adult has a misunderstanding and annoys the uncle, I am afraid that I will not contribute to the uncle's future in the future, and the grandmother will suffer the most." Grandma and uncle are husband and wife, one is prosperous and the other is lost. But there is no reason to be an elder brother and raise a sister all his life. Even though there are mountains of gold and silver in adults, they are used for their wives, but there is no reason to use them on their grandmothers. Grandma still has to count on the uncle. ”

She was moved by Feng Dengke's letter, and felt that what her mother-in-law said made sense, so her heart was shaken. She wanted to stop there, but she was still worried that Feng Dengke would break off the connection with Yao's lotus again.

Xun Qingran looked at Qi Wanrong a little unsettled, and she was also silent, just waiting for what Qi Wanrong would say.

"Fourth sister-in-law, I ......"

As soon as Qi Wanrong spoke, she heard a jingling sound, and Xin Nuhao walked towards the pavilion with people sharing flowers and willows. Walking closer, Xin Nuhao seemed to see someone in the pavilion, and her footsteps suddenly stopped, as if she was hesitating whether to come over or not.

Qi Wanrong saw that it was a good woman, and immediately stopped talking.

Xun Qing smiled and ordered someone to greet the woman, "Please come and sit down." ”

Xin Nuhao followed the little girl into the pavilion.

"I don't know that Mrs. and Mrs. Feng are here, the woman is so disturbed." The Xin woman bent her knees and was blessed.

Xun Qingran got up and let Xin Nu Hao to the seat.

"It looks good, the woman is a good girl, she is studious, and she must not work too hard." Xun Qing said.

After Xin Nuhao recovered from that illness, she somehow suddenly had a strong desire for knowledge, and proposed with Xun Qingran that she wanted to read more books and learn needlework. After Xun Qingran discussed with Qi You, he invited an old Confucian to teach Xin Nu good homework every day. As for needlework, Xin Nu is better than poetry and books, but the needlework is a big difference. Xun Qingran personally taught Xin women for two days, but she dealt with the affairs of the house every day, and socialized with all the family members, so she really didn't have much energy, and finally found another embroidery girl with excellent needlework, and taught Xin women a good needlework for an hour every day.

"Thank you for your care, the woman knows how to measure."

"That's good."

Xun Qingran saw that Jin Ling and Yin Ling were following behind Xin Nuhao, one holding Zhang Guqin in her arms, and the other holding a small incense burner in her hand, which she gave Xin Nu Hao to play with.

"This incense burner is so familiar." Qi Wanrong said.

"I brought it from Kyoto." Xun Qing said.

"Oh," Qi Wanrong sighed, and turned her gaze to the guqin, "Miss Xin also brought the guqin out, could it be that she wanted to play a song?" ”

"Women don't dare to be ugly." The Xin woman is good.

"Miss Xin, you're welcome, can't it be that the piano was brought out for decoration?" Qi Wanrong said with a smile.

Mrs. Xin glanced at Qi Wanrong, turned her head, and smiled at Xun Qingran, "If Mrs. doesn't dislike it, the woman is willing to offer a song." ”

Xun Qingran smiled and bowed.

The two girls put the piano and the incense burner on the side of the table, and the woman stood up and sat on the stone bench next to the case.

"Golden bell, burn incense." The Xin woman commanded.

Playing the piano should burn incense, a good elegant habit.

Then the golden bell opened the censer and burned the incense.

"Wait." Mama Xu stepped forward with a smile and stopped Jin Ling, "Miss Xin is so elegant." But the old slave has a saying, this place is empty, and the wind is strong, but it is different from being in the house. Besides, the water of this lake is fragrant and fragrant, but what incense can compare to that. ”

"What Mama said is that I'm too stubborn."

Xin Nu picked up her hand and bounced.

Xun Qingran couldn't help but listen attentively.

Qi Wanrong's eyes were turning back and forth between the incense burner and the Xin Nuhao, thoughtful.

At the end of the song, Mrs. Xin said: "I haven't practiced for a long time, not only is the fingering rusty, but I have even forgotten a few places in the music score, which makes Mrs. and Feng Da * smile when they see it." ”

"The good woman is too modest." Xun Qingran said with a smile. Xin Nu Hao said that the fingering is rusty, forgetting the score, she is not an expert, can not judge, according to her Xin Nu Hao played as if the clouds flow, the technique is first-class, but for some reason, the music is very pleasant to listen to in the ear, but it can only stay in the realm of the ear.

Xun Qingran suddenly thought of the Matouqin music she had heard, which was in her ears and heart.

"A good girl, can you, Ma Touqin?"
