Chapter 17: Breaking the Deadlock
Zhou Yunqing lowered his head under the gaze of everyone: "It's not that I can't tell my aunt, it's just that it's about my brother's face......"
As soon as Zhou heard that it was related to Zhou Yunyi, he put away his eyes and retreated from everyone, leaving only Mama Tao carrying the lamp: "What's wrong with Ziqian?" ”
Zhou Yunqing said softly: "My aunt also knows that my brother's health has always been bad, and since he was twelve years old, he took the Xie Yuan of the township test, and his mother is reluctant to let him end, I just hope that he will be healthy and healthy, and start a family as soon as possible." ”
Zhou nodded slightly. Zhou Yunyi was shocked and gorgeous, but she was sick in her mother's womb, and her body was very bad, and her sister-in-law was heartbroken because of this.
Zhou Yunqing sighed: "My brother is seventeen years old this year, and my mother wanted to help him talk about family affairs last year, but my brother was very stubborn, saying that he was not in good health and did not want to drag others down, so he had an argument with his mother, and he fainted with anger, which frightened his mother. After a few days, he woke up easily, and his mother asked him not to say goodbye to him first, and took him to Kyoto to seek medical advice. ”
Speaking of this, a touch of sadness appeared between Zhou Yunqing's eyebrows: "During these days, my mother has found many doctors, and my uncle has also helped find many imperial doctors to show my brother. Yun Qing thanked her aunt and uncle for her mother and brother. As he spoke, he bowed. Zhou hurriedly helped her up: "Good boy, don't be so polite to your aunt." ”
Zhou Yunqing continued: "But after seeing so many doctors, there is no improvement. My brother refused to drink medicine anymore, and he lost his temper at home again, and wanted to go out and travel around. Where can the mother rest assured, but the elder brother said...... Said that he wanted to see more places before he died...... It's not in vain to live this ......," he said and cried silently.
There was also a layer of tears in Zhou's eyes, and he hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief: "This kid, why is it so hurtful to speak." ”
Cersey hung her head and hid her expression by the light. I can't see it, this Miss Table is really a wonderful person, look at the sympathy card played, it makes Zhou very sad, even if there is harsh criticism and suspicion, there are only three points left. In the end, it is the Zhou family.
Zhou Yunqing cried for a while, then forcibly suppressed her tears, and choked up: "My cousin has been with my brother every day recently, and I am very close to each other. I didn't want to go directly to my cousin's yard to find him, so I found this maid and wanted her to talk to my cousin to see if my cousin could persuade my brother to ......"
Cersei secretly said wonderful. Before, she was afraid that this kind of lady had not lied and made any mistakes, but this confession not only explained why the two of her people who couldn't hit the eight poles were hiding here in the dark, but also aroused Zhou's sadness. It seems that her little life can be saved.
"You are cousins and sisters, if there is anything bad to say directly, you have to find a girl to pass the word. This must not be the case in the future. This spring is cold and windy, if you catch a cold, how can I explain to my brother and sister-in-law. "Zhou's affection is sincere, and it can be seen that he really cares about Zhou Yunqing.
Zhou Yunqing hung his head in shame: "It's me who didn't think well and made my aunt worried." But why did my aunt come here tonight? ”
Zhou sneered when he heard this: "The grandmother in charge reported that there was a mother-in-law gathering to gamble and eat wine at night, so I will come to see who is so bold." ”
So he walked fast and hurriedly, he was in a hurry to catch the mother-in-law who committed the crime, but he didn't know that he almost caught his niece's "adultery". I just don't know how much credit there is in this. Thinking of tonight's grievances, Cersei couldn't help but add to the fire: "I don't know if the second young master came in a hurry, and he staggered, and it has nothing to do with Mrs. going to catch those mothers-in-law." ”
Zhou's face was pensive. Cersei knew in his heart that the two naturally had nothing to do with each other, but the subordinates had a private gathering and were involved with the master of the concubine, and with Zhou's so suspicious and meticulous temperament, I am afraid that they must investigate for a long time. Whether it's Qiuxi or someone else, just give a warning, save yourself from a plan and another plan, she is not in the mood to deal with these things.
Zhou Yunqing noticed that Cersei was still kneeling. Although it was spring, it was very cold at night. She was grateful for the grace of the smash, and hurriedly said to Zhou: "Auntie, go and get busy, the second cousin is still injured, I'm afraid I want my aunt to go and see it again." I'll be helped back by this little girl. ”
When Zhou thought of Lin Huaijue, he felt anxious, and he was anxious to inquire about what he had just said, so he nodded, left a claw lamp for Zhou Yunqing, and hurriedly went.
There were Zhou Yunqing and Cersei left in the garden. The two looked at each other and smiled, and Zhou Yunqing couldn't help but raise his hand to caress his chest: "It really scared me, and now my heart is still pounding." In this way, the coquettishness of the child is revealed, as if the person who was calm and crying and laughing just now was not her.
Cersei "fluttered" for a while, and slowly walked towards her courtyard with a light for Zhou Yunqing: "Miss Biao is really witty, even the young master and the prince have been brought out." ”
Zhou Yunqing said: "My brother's matter really worries me, but I don't dare to lie to my aunt." It's just that my brother has had a lot of ideas since he was a child, and no one can persuade him, so I never thought of letting my cousin persuade him. ”
Se Se comforted her and said: "The ancients said, 'Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles', if the young master really makes up his mind, maybe go out for a turn and have a broad mind, and the illness will be much better." ”
Zhou Yunqing was surprised: "Have you ever read?" “
Cersei nodded: "The slave maid waited for pen and ink in the study of the prince of the world, and read a few books along. “
Zhou Yunqing's eyes flashed. She grew up in a big family, although she is almost in decline, but the intrigue of these maids in the house has not been heard of, and Lin Huaijin must have given some preferential treatment to Cersei and attracted the eyes of others.
Zhou Yunqing looked at her thin appearance, a head shorter than herself, and she was not very old, but she had the courage just now, she saved her and saved herself, she sighed in her heart, and couldn't help but mention her: "Why are you here tonight?" ”
Cersei had already made a plan, and sneered: "The slave maid was called by Qiu Xi from Jihui Courtyard to find you to get medicine, saying that Mama Zhou was infected with wind cold and had some fever, who knew that after entering the garden, Qiu Xi was gone." Miss Cousin, why are you here? At this time, there was only Zhou Yunqing, and she didn't want to pretend to be kind and submissive anymore, so she simply didn't even call "Sister Qiuxi".
Zhou Yunqing was slightly uncomfortable: "I was tricked by a strange little girl, and now I think about it, it's too hasty." ”
Everyone has their own secrets, Zhou Yunqing was vague, and he didn't delve into it anymore, after this matter, they all knew that each other was a very smart person, and they didn't have to say it too thoroughly, they all knew that the other party knew it.
Zhou Yunqing looked at Cersei: "Speaking of which, I want to thank you for saving me, if there is no you tonight, or if I change to any less timid girl, I can only die." Cersei smiled and looked at her too: "Where did Miss Cousin say, the slave maid met you tonight, you can meet the slave maid tonight, this may be fate." ”
Zhou Yunqing smiled: "You're right, we are very fateful. As soon as I saw you, I felt that you were very kind-looking, otherwise based on the situation at the time, I would not have suspected that you were the second cousin's person. "Don't say it, when I look at you, I always feel that you look a little like my brother......"
Cersei was very surprised: "Young Master Cousin? ”
Zhou Yunqing nodded, and looked at her carefully: "I can't say, if you look closely, it's different everywhere, and the bearing is completely different, and it doesn't feel like it, but at first glance, it looks a little similar between the eyebrows and eyes, which is strange." ”
"The slave was picked up by the son of the world when she was a child, and she may have rubbed a little fur with the son of the world for a long time, thinking that the son of the world and the young master are cousins. So don't be surprised. ”
Zhou Yunqing couldn't help laughing: "You don't compare your cousin to Xi Shi, don't say it, your cousin looks like that, and it makes sense to be compared to Xi Shi." ”
Cersei touched his nose: "Miss Cousin, just laugh yourself, don't tell others, let Mrs. hear, I have ten lives to explain." ”
Zhou Yunqing stretched out her jade onion-like fingers and nodded her head: "I know, it's a pity that my brother doesn't like Anguo Mansion, otherwise I will definitely take him to meet you, a ghost." ”
The two talked and laughed, and soon went back to Zhou Yunqing's yard, Se Se still remembered taking the medicine, and went back to Mama Zhou to use it before returning to the house.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Qiu Xi sitting in her room with an anxious face. Yan Cao hurriedly greeted him: "Where have you been, why has it been so long?" But it made us die in a hurry, I want to go out to find you, and Qiuxi is afraid that we will go wrong. ”
Cersei asked Qiu Xi with a smile: "Sister Qiu Xi, where did you go just now?" As he spoke, he looked at her, but saw that Qiu Xi only had an anxious look on his face. If it weren't for the fact that he was the one in that game, it would be really hard to believe Qiu Xi's calculations.
"It was too dark, I accidentally stepped on a stone, I broke my foot, and when I looked up again, my sister was gone, I had never been to the garden, I was afraid that I would get lost in it, and I would go two forks with you, so I came back first, thinking that if you can't find me, you will always come back." Qiu Xi looked ashamed, answered impeccably, and looked at her ankles, which were really red and swollen, so pitiful.
I couldn't catch her, and I couldn't say anything, so I could only pry people: "Let my sister worry, I have already got the medicine for Mama Zhou, tonight I met the second young master and broke his head, and I was a little tired after tossing, so I didn't chat with my sister." ”
Qiu Xi nodded and limped. Cersei and Yancao chatted for a while, and after spending their energy, they fell asleep.
