Chapter Ninety-Five: The Mystery
Grandma Qi San was having fun, and when she saw that Xun Qingran was leaving, she hurriedly stopped her.
"Yes, if you leave, whose money will the third brother and sister win?" Grandma Qi Er, laughed.
"I've got to go out for a walk, get a breath, and I'll win when I come back in a while, so let the citron take my place first." Xun Qing said.
The citron pushed and refused to sit.
"Your grandmother lifts you up, and you sit down and play for a while." Grandma Qi Er smiled.
Citron followed the Rong family since she was a child, and later gave it to Qi You, such a big girl can be quite decent in front of her master.
Citron excused himself, and seeing that Xun Qingran insisted on doing so, he also sat down, but only sat on half of the chair sideways.
"You just play, it's your jackpot if you win, and it's mine if you lose. This string of money is enough for you to play for a while. Xun Qing pointed to the money on the table.
"Your grandma is so generous, you just be a good person, don't wait for your grandma to come back, and lose all the money to us." Grandma Qi Er quipped.
Xun Qingran smiled and walked out with the orb and malt. Cai Qin hesitated behind and followed.
"I go out for a walk and don't have to be served by so many people. You go and give the citron a palm. Xun Qing said.
Cai Qin bent his knees and was blessed, and then he stopped following.
"The second master has already made arrangements, please grandma to the small study in front." Baozhu whispered to Xun Qingran.
Xun Qingran nodded, and went directly to the small study in front. As soon as she walked to the door, Mama Xue picked it up from inside.
"Say hello to the third aunt and grandmother." Mama Xue bent her knees and was blessed.
"Mama Xue doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly."
Xun Qing dyed into the house, and saw that there were two charcoal basins in the house, which made the house warm, and a short kang was spread near the window, covered with red orangutan felt, and a brocade mattress and backrest were set on it.
Xun Qingran sat on the kang, "This kang is really hot." ”
Mama Xue laughed, "Knowing that my aunt and grandmother were coming, my aunt specially sent a slave over, cleaned it early, and burned the kang." What does my aunt think, should I add another charcoal basin? ”
"No, that's fine. It's hard to bother my aunt. My aunt is heavy, and I can't go over to disturb her, so Mama remembers to bring it to me. Mama comes here, who will take care of my aunt's side? ”
"It will take a month for my aunt to give birth, and there will be a Yuwan in the house to serve. It happened that Mama Xu was free in the back, so she asked her to take care of her aunt for half a day. Mama Xue said.
"Mama Xu......" Xun Qingran passed by the hugging building behind the study, and saw Mama Xu coming in and out.
"The slave was promoted to be a steward, and I used to have a relationship with Mama Xu, knowing that she was a safe person, if you said that taking care of pregnant women, midwifery, and all kinds of things, Mama Xu is more experienced than the minion, so I asked her to help."
"It's also a blessing for my aunt to have my grandmother by her side. Mama praised Mama like this, and I looked at her as a good person. It's okay to have a few girls around me, but they're all too young. Mama Xue helps me pay attention, if there is a good Mama to help me find one, it is worse than Mama and Mama Xu, and I will never treat it badly. ”
While the two were talking, Xun Junhui came in from outside, and Mama Xue hurriedly said goodbye and went out.
"I made you new winter clothes and shoes, and I have asked Baozhu to give you that little guy, remember to add clothes when it's cold." Xun Qingran said to his younger brother.
"I know, sister, don't worry, I know how to take care of myself, and they are all dedicated to Kapok."
Seeing that Xun Junhui was dressed quite thickly, Xun Qingran was also relieved.
"Have I received my letter?" Xun Qingran asked.
"I've received the letter and things, I've already found someone to read it, and my sister has read the list." Xun Junhui took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Xun Qingran.
"It's hard to make a noise, who are you looking for, is it reliable?"
"One of our classmates at Lushan Academy, he has a crude medicine shop at home, and there have been people working in the Tai Hospital for generations, and his grandfather has just retired from the Tai Hospital. I gave it to him, and he asked his grandfather and two veteran doctors to check it separately. …… Sister, this is a child-avoiding medicine, and my sister didn't make it clear in the letter, what the hell is going on, sister, ...... you" Xun Junhui looked at Xun Qingran, his eyes full of anxiety and concern.
"Don't ask these questions first, my sister only asks you, how effective is this medicine, is it harmful to people?"
"This medicine is very effective. The grandfather of the classmate said that this medicine is not for ordinary people's homes, and it does not hinder the body. Because there is only residual porridge, this prescription is not sure, but the medicinal materials used in it are listed upside down, and it is on the list. Xun Junhui pointed to the list, "My classmate told me that his grandfather's words are very similar to the prescriptions for nobles in the palace." Sister, where did you get this ......, who wants to harm my sister......"
Xun Qingran waved his hand, not letting Junhui continue, only looking down at the list in his hand. There are more than a dozen medicinal herbs listed on it, many of which are precious and rare. Looking at the last taste of safflower, Xun Qingran suddenly understood why Mama Song was so anxious when Rong Yunnuan wanted to eat the bird's nest porridge.
The bottom of this bird's nest porridge, Mama Song absolutely knows, and even knows the ingredients of this prescription.
"Sister, tell me what's going on." Xun Junhui looked at Xun Qingran pondering, and couldn't help but be more anxious.
Xun Qingran thought for a while, whether to tell her brother about this matter, and how to tell him, she still hasn't figured it out yet. She has a way to deal with Mama Song, but Mama Song is Qi You's nurse, and Qi You was raised by Rong's side. If things are not clear, what's the use of sending a Song Mama.
"No one wants to harm me, I'm going to eat it myself." Xun Qing said.
"If you plan to eat it, you must have taken a prescription or a medicine, and you must have taken the residual porridge. Sister, you don't have to lie to me, it's someone in his family who wants to harm my sister, is it, brother-in-law knows it, I'll go and talk to him. ”
"Don't go, don't go." Xun Qingran hurriedly stopped Xun Junhui.
"Why didn't my sister let me go,...... Even if his sister wants to eat it herself, it's because he treats her sister badly, isn't it? Xun Junhui stood still, stared at Xun Qingran's eyes and asked.
Xun Junhui is already extremely smart, and because of the environment since he was a child, he is much more thoughtful than his peers, and he is not so easy to deceive.
Xun Qingran thought about it and told Xun Junhui about it.
"I thought he was a good one, but I didn't expect ......" Xun Junhui slammed his fist on the wall, "Sister, you don't have to be afraid, everything has me." Let's not live with him, I'll raise my sister in the future. If my sister wants to remarry, let's find my sister's favorite remarriage. ”
"With your words, what else is my sister afraid of." Hearing that his younger brother wanted to support himself, Xun Qingran was not surprised, but his younger brother was so open-minded about remarrying, which was a bit unexpected by Xun Qingran.
"It's just that you have read a lot of sage books, in today's world, pay attention to women's chastity, and your sister remarries, which is not good in the Xun family and on your face. The old man is talking about taking some Cheng Zhu Lixue all day long. ”
"You're my sister, and you're no one else. Sister can do whatever she wants, Cheng Zhu Lixue, sister is a person who reads stupid books. That Cheng Gong, who had just written that one daughter could not marry twice, found a good husband for the newly widowed niece when he turned around, but he was afraid that her sister would be sad. ”
Hearing his younger brother say this, Xun Qing's somewhat gloomy heart immediately became cheerful.
"What are you going to do with your sister?"
Naturally, it is necessary to find things out. Although he has the support of his younger brother, marriage is not a child's play, it is not a play, whether there is a marriage with or without love, it needs to be carefully managed. Some of Qi You's qualities can be said to be rare in men. Xun Qingran is not a person who gives up easily, she plans to give Qi Yu and herself a chance.
Xun Qingran told his younger brother all his plans, "...... Which family doesn't have such and such things, don't worry, my sister is not so easy to bully. You have to take the exam during the Chinese New Year, don't be distracted by these miscellaneous things. My sister can handle it, and I won't hide anything from you. ”
The siblings spoke again before they dispersed.
Back in Xinuan Pavilion, Xun Da * Grandma and a few people were still playing leaf cards, but in the position of Qi Er's grandmother, it was Cailuan who was sitting.
Citron stood up and let Xun Qing dye it.
Xun Qingran waved her hand and sat on the chair next to her, "Where did the second sister-in-law go?" ”
"At the house, it was said that the second master was back. The second sister-in-law was in a hurry to leave, and our master, fourth master, and fifth master also went back. ”
As soon as Xun Qingran heard this, he also had to leave.
"Not busy, not busy. Our family is not like the Zhang family, your second aunt and grandmother only came out for a while, and the Zhang family's wife sent someone to urge. Our old lady came and said that it would be okay to let the four brothers and sisters stay at their parents' house for a while. Grandma Qi San threw herself on the card table.
Xun Qingran smiled and looked at the table. Grandma Qi San has already piled up a lot of money in front of her, and Grandma Xun seems to have lost a lot, and then looking at the citron, the pile of money doesn't seem to have changed much.
"Let's go grandma." Citron stood up and handed the cards in his hand to Xun Qingran.
Xun Qingran no longer shirked, took the card and sat down. The cards in this hand have become ** points, and they are sure to win. Xun Qingran smiled at the citron.
"Where's Cai Qin?" When he entered the door, he didn't see Cai Qin, Xun Qingran asked casually.
"The minion just looked at the cards, and didn't see Cai Qin, so the minion came back to her." Citron Road.
"Celery? Didn't she go out with her siblings? Grandma Qi San said.
After playing two more games, Xun Qingran saw that the time was not early, so he persuaded Grandma Qi San to throw the cards, and the two of them said goodbye from the Xun family.
When Grandma Qi Er left, she took most of her family members away, leaving Xun Qingran and Grandma Qi San to take care of her daughter-in-law Wangcai's family, and brought a few other small servants. Grandma Qi San and Xun Qing dyed a carriage, and the girls squeezed into another carriage and turned around to the Anguo Mansion.
Halfway through the road, the soldiers blocked the road, and the carriage detoured to the cross-well alley and came to the back alley of the house.
Grandma Qi San won a lot of money, and she was in a very good mood, chattering non-stop, Xun Qingran only smiled and listened. I don't know how long the carriage was traveling, but suddenly it came to a stop with a creak. Both of them were caught off guard, Xun Qingzhi was fine, but Grandma Qi San hit her head on the car frame.
"Who is looking for death and dares to stop the car of the National Mansion?"
