CHAPTER XXII

Chu Qianyi, who was sitting upright on the side, saw that it was his grandmother and three aunts who came over, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

Mrs. Xia smiled and hugged Chu Qianyi into her arms and asked, "Yi'er, do you want to be a grandmother?" ”

Chu Qianyi said loudly: "I want to!" Yi'er wants to see her grandmother every day! Then he asked, "What about my grandfather?" Why didn't you come to see us? ”

Mrs. Xia kissed Chu Qianyi on the face and said, "When my grandmother's house goes, I tell my grandfather that Yi'er misses my grandfather." Naturally, my grandfather came over to see Yi'er. ”

Chu Qianyi was very happy when he heard this, and nodded again and again.

Pei Shufan turned his head and saw that it was his mother and three younger sisters who came, so he got up slightly and said, "My mother is here, sit here." He also called Chu Qianyi's nurse, Mother Jiang, to bring Chu Qianyi to the warm pavilion and be with Chu Qianqian.

Mother Jiang came over and took Chu Qianyi from Mrs. Xia and carried him to the warm pavilion next to her.

Mrs. Xia sat next to Pei Shufan with a smile, helped her tuck the quilt, and asked with concern, "But are you tired?" Would you like to take another break? I can take your sisters to Madame Tai for a sit and come back. ”

Pei Shufan had a lot to say to his mother, where was he willing to let his mother go away, smiled and took Mrs. Xia's hand and said, "I'm not tired." I just took a nap and have already rested. - My sisters, sit down, too. Pei Shufan beckoned the three younger sisters to sit down.

Tong Ye came in with a rectangular tray surrounded by purple and black carved flowers, on which were placed four teacups with pink and green lotus leaves from Ru kiln, and inside were freshly brewed white tea silver needles and white hair.

Mrs. Xia picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "This is this year's new tea, right?" The taste is sweet and mellow, and it is a high-quality white tea. ”

Without waiting for Pei Shufan to speak, Tong Ye put down the other three teacups to the three young ladies one by one, and replied: "Back to the old lady, this is the new tea that came in this year, and the queen lady values our lady, so she specially gave two catties of silver needles to come out." "A look of honor, very proud of the fact that the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion has a queen's mother.

Pei Shufan stretched out his hand to take the teacup from Mrs. Xia's hand, took a sip, and put it back in Mrs. Xia's hand before saying, "I have a bad spleen and stomach, so I just rely on this tea to wake up and refresh myself." ”

Mrs. Xia drank the remaining white tea in one gulp, put the teacup on the small table next to the bed, and said a little carelessly: "How good can it be?" - It's just tea, and if you can drink it for people and use it for others, you have done your duty. ”

Kiriha was a little embarrassed when he heard this, so he hurriedly took the tray and went out backwards.

Pei Shufan smiled and took Mrs. Xia's hand and said, "Mother, don't talk about these things, I'm looking forward to my mother coming over to talk." ”

Mrs. Xia took out the sign and three talismans for Pei Shufan from her sleeve pocket, and said, "This is asked for in the Dajue Temple, and the abbot of the Dajue Temple has specially recited it. You are one, Yi'er and Humility are one each. ”

Pei Shufan opened the signature and looked at it, picked up his talisman and put it under his pillow, held Chu Qianyi and Chu Qianqian's talisman tightly in his hand, and said to Mrs. Xia and the three younger sisters: "Thank you for your trouble." The last thing I can let go of is these two children. ”

Pei Shulan saw that her grandmother and eldest sister seemed to have something to say, so she got up and walked over and said to Pei Shufan: "Eldest sister, I'll help you send the talisman to Yi'er and Qianqian." ”

Pei Shufang and Pei Shufen also stood up and said with a smile: "Exactly." The last time we came, we didn't talk to our two nephews, but today we want to kiss each other. ”

Pei Shufan smiled and handed the talisman to Pei Shulan and said, "Then I will receive your love." It's just one thing, your two nephews have some poplar pollen allergies, and today Qianqian accidentally got it, and he was a little uncomfortable, and his temper was not very good. If she screws it up later, you aunts will have to take care of it more. ”

Pei Shufen heard that the two children had allergies, and her heart moved slightly. She also has a slight pollen allergy, but she has parsnip, tribulus terrestris, sophora and banxia that grow in Langjingdongtian, which are miraculous in curing allergies. So she didn't have to suffer for long, and she cured her pollen allergy. - Perhaps, this is her opportunity to make a contribution in front of her eldest sister......

Pei Shulan walked in the front, and when she heard the words, she turned around and said, "What did the eldest sister say?" Qianqian is still a child, so don't detrain her too tightly with the eldest sister. Tong Ye heard it outside, and hurriedly came in and took the three sisters of the Pei family to the warm pavilion.

At this time, Chu Qianqian seemed to have woken up, and after a while, he heard Chu Qianqian's scream of surprise coming from the warm pavilion.

Pei Shufan leaned sideways and listened, and said enviously to Mrs. Xia: "The child is really carefree. ”

Mrs. Xia waited for everyone in the house to leave, and then asked Zhengse, "What happened?" Now in the wax moon, how can there be any poplar pollen? How do children get poplar pollen at this time? ”

Poplar pollen only flies in the spring when poplars pollinate. Speaking of winter poplar pollen allergies, a thoughtful person like Mrs. Xia immediately noticed something unusual.

Pei Shufan smiled bitterly: "This matter is strange, my mother will help me refer to the details." ”

Mrs. Xia asked in a low voice, "But did you fall into someone else's way?" ”

"Yes and no." Pei Shufan frowned slightly, and whispered to Mrs. Xia what she had just thought.

When Mrs. Xia heard this, she felt that Pei Shufan was very reasonable, and said: "According to this, this person's mind is indeed interesting. What are you going to do? ”

Pei Shufan said: "I have already sent Mother Zhao to the pulp washing room to take care of everyone." I also sent Ning's mother over to question, and when we finished asking, we knew what was going on. ”

Mrs. Xia got up and looked at the window.

In the bedroom of the upper room of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, there are eight large mahogany lattice glass windows. Usually during the day, only silver-white crepe curtains are lowered, and thicker gold velvet curtains are hung on both sides of the window with two gilded tent hooks.

Such a curtain allows you to clearly see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside.

"How long has Mother Ning been gone?" Mrs. Xia asked.

"Got a meal, didn't you?" Pei Shufan is not very convinced.

Mrs. Xia frowned, she has been gone for so long and hasn't come back, are there a lot of people to ask?

Pei Shufan called Mrs. Xia over and sat down, and comforted: "Mother, don't worry, this matter will definitely come to light." ”

Mrs. Xia sat back on Pei Shufan's bedside and sighed: "Even if this matter can be revealed, what about the future?" What if something happens again? - There are only thieves for a thousand years, and there are no thieves for a thousand years. Yi'er and Qianqian are so young......"

Pei Shufan grabbed Mrs. Xia's hand, and immediately with tears in his eyes, he said, "Mother, can there be a way?" ”

Mrs. Xia gave birth to three sons and a daughter, all of whom were raised smoothly. But this is not entirely the credit of Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia's husband, that is, Pei Lixing, the first assistant of the Three Dynasties, also played a big role. People say that a virtuous wife has few misfortunes, but in fact, a virtuous husband can have fewer wives and fewer woes, which is really a blessing for a family. If there is an unobtrusive man on the stall, no matter how virtuous his wife is, she will only be boiled to the point that the oil runs out and the lamp runs out, and she dies in tears.

"When I came from Dajue Temple today, your second sister Shu Lan and third sister Shu Fang gave me an idea, and now that I think about it, it's still very good." Mrs. Xia wanted to unravel Pei Shufan, and told Pei Shufan about it as a joke.

Pei Shufan smiled, a little disbelieving, "Really? What good ideas can they have? ”

Mrs. Xia looked at Pei Shufan's expression, knew that she didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "They said, let's take Yi'er and Qianqian back, go to our hometown in Yuezhou, and let me and your father personally help you take the two children." ”
