Qiu Yulan asked curiously: "This matter is unguardable, once Qiu Jinzhu's stupid girl doesn't even suspect Qingwu, how can she doubt her parents?" Second, what is her food, clothing, housing and transportation that is not under the hands of this couple, how simple is it to do her hands and feet? Even if she died, the outside would never guess that her parents did it, at most they would suspect that the situation was Qingwu! ”

Jiang Yashuang smiled: "What you said is very true, but Qiu Mengmin and his wife are not in unison...... Just as she was saying this, a maid ran in with a happy face, and she didn't even bother to salute: "Nineteen sons, nineteen young ladies!" The old lady is awake! The imperial doctor said that he could already take care of things, and the old lady asked the maid to invite the nineteenth prince to go immediately! ”

"Really?!" Jiang Yashuang and Qiu Yulan glanced at each other, and they both showed surprise: this is two days earlier than the expected recovery!

The maid smiled and made up a salute: "The maid has ten dares, do you dare to deceive the son and the young lady?" ”

"Go quickly, don't keep your grandfather waiting!" Where can the two young couples still care about talking about the Xihe Palace, Qiu Yulan hurriedly pushed Jiang Yashuang out of the door, "Su He brought two pastries over, and you ate a mat on the way...... It matters to see your grandfather first! ”

Sending Jiang Yashuang away, when he returned to the house, he could feel the joy all around, Qiu Yulan secretly sighed that Qin Guogong was important to the Jiang family, and even Su He and others, who she married, heard that he could ask about things, and their eyebrows danced, as if they were relieved at this point.

"But it's a good thing!" After Qiu Yulan sighed, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, "Grandfather is awake, he is in charge of these major matters, whether it is the queen or Jiang Tianqiao, they must breathe a sigh of relief......"

Even the queen and Jiang Tianqiao have the backbone, and she, the granddaughter-in-law, only needs to play soy sauce. However, in the matter of the previous dynasty, she could make soy sauce, and she really couldn't be idle in housework: "Go and pack up two servings of nourishing medicinal herbs, after breakfast, go to the old lady to visit the eighth sister-in-law first, and then go to see the sixteenth sister-in-law when it's over!" ”

It's not just these two sisters-in-law!

"Then ask the kitchen to make a box of chic pastries, if you come back early from the sixteenth sister-in-law, then go to the eighteenth sister-" On the night of Qin Guogong's illness, she heard the foot of the wall when she went to chase Xin Fubing, but it was also a big deal! has dragged on for so many days, although I haven't heard that Jiang Qizheng said that she will leave in front of her elders, but Xu was delayed by Qin Guogong's illness, and I don't know what she is like with Qiu Feng now?

Qiu Yulan had breakfast, ordered Su He and Shen Shui, checked the medicinal materials prepared for the next spring dyeing, and went out.

When I arrived in Mrs. Tao's yard, I happened to see Xiao Dou's leading Jiang Huizhi out, although the two concubines were filthy before, but because of Xiao Tao's experience, now they have a bit of the same hatred, so Qiu Yulan took the initiative to salute: "Sister-in-law came to see grandmother?" ”

Xiao Dou smiled and asked her not to be so polite, and asked Jiang Huizhi to see her aunt, so she said, "I have a little kung fu today, come and see my eighth brother and sister...... The second uncle seems to be busy, so we won't bother. If you see it later, you will give us a sin. ”

"I'm also here to see the eighth sister-in-law." Qiu Yulan knew that Qin Guogong was waking up and shouting just now, and it was estimated that Old Madam Tao was worried that he would be cured, and she was still guarding it herself, and she didn't have time to receive Xiao Dou's mother and daughter—she didn't necessarily have time to greet her, so she said truthfully, "Since my grandmother is busy, if she doesn't summon me for a while, I won't dare to disturb me." ”

Xiao Dou didn't take it seriously when he went to Mrs. Tao's yard but didn't ask her to be safe - the big house was more than this domineering behavior, especially when she still brought her daughter over to visit Mrs. Tao's beloved little Tao today, how could the old lady care?

Now seeing Qiu Lulan say this, she simply didn't mention any excuse or not, only said Xiao Tao's: "The eighth brother and sister are a lot haggard again, it's really worrying to watch!" ”

"Alas!" The autumn is gloomy, and Jiang Yadan, a ruthless and unrighteous master who is not easy to move, is really a piece of hob meat, and no matter how good it is, there is no way to be a master of house fighting!

This is the gate of the courtyard where the old lady lives, and it is not good for the two of them to stand here and talk all the time, so after a few sighs, Xiao Dou said that the Dou family still had something to order, and led Jiang Huizhi to leave.

Qiu Yulan said goodbye to her and entered the door, and when she arrived at the place where Xiao Tao lived, she heard a violent cough before she entered the house - she hurried a few steps into the door, and couldn't help but gasp!

Originally, Xiao Tao was very haggard when he fell ill in Beijing, and he was even more sick when he arrived at Dizi Mountain. In the past ten days, because of Qin Guogong's illness, Qiu Yulan ran between the palace and the courtyard, and had no time to come to visit, but now I see that Xiao Tao has lost weight into a handful of bones!

Looking at her sister-in-law who seemed to be wearing a layer of human skin on her skeleton, Rao is Qiu Lulan has always been hard-hearted, and she couldn't help crying: "Eighth sister-in-law, why are you here!" There is a grandmother and nineteen, even if you are really not our eighth sister-in-law, are you still afraid that you will not be able to live? ”

Although Xiao Tao was so thin that he took off his human form, his spirit was strangely good, and he smiled at her slightly: "I want to open it now, but I'm really sick...... Maybe that's fate! ”

Qiu Yulan didn't know how to answer her, and cried for a while before asking, "Are you really resigned to your fate like this?" ”

"If I don't accept my fate, what else can I do?" Xiao Tao sighed leisurely, but relieved her, "You don't want to be like this, it's sad for you to see me like this!" My days are numbered, and I have nothing else to think about, so I hope that everyone who comes to see me can say a few words with joy...... So, don't cry, okay? ”

Qiu Yulan wiped her face indiscriminately, but the tears flowed down again, she wiped and wiped, and finally turned her face to prevent Xiao Tao from seeing the tears - although Xiao Tao couldn't see it, he could guess it, and he couldn't help but be gloomy: "I used to be always worried, afraid that I wouldn't get along with you and my sixteen brothers and sisters, but now I know that I spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." It's a pity that we met a little late...... If I had to do it again, I would have gotten to know you and my sixteen siblings as early as the day my grandmother moved to live next door to Xihe Wangfu! ”

In fact, this is a half-truth, Xiao Tao himself had not thought about it so much earlier, and it was Mrs. Tao who was really worried.

But with Xiao Tao's personality, even if he is dying, he will not say such words that will separate Qiu Yulan and his elders, so he will take the blame on himself.

Although Qiu Yulan doesn't know the inside story, where would he care about such a person's normal thoughts at this moment? She thought about this sister-in-law's life—her gentleness, her tolerance, her grievances, her patience, her maintenance...... Just because her appearance was not beautiful enough, this woman who was only thirty years old ended up being forced to die, and she became more and more choked up.

Seeing this, Xiao Tao tried to say something else to distract her heart: "Sister-in-law Fang brought Zhi'er to see me, although there was some conflict with the big house in our room before, but she is still willing to bring Zhi'er to visit, it can be seen that it is always a family." ”

Qiu Yulan's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help crying for fear of making a sound, but she bowed her head silently.

"Zhi'er is a little prettier than the last time I saw it." Xiao Tao said a little stunned, "She was still holding it in her hand when I passed the door, the snow ball was a little bigger, and she was going to talk about it in a blink of an eye, time passed, it was really fast!" ”

Qiu Yulan still couldn't accept this, so Xiao Tao himself continued, "I have no children, and after I go, the dowry should be returned to the Tao family." There is a pair of phoenix hairpins in my dowry, which are the things that pressed the bottom of the box when I left the pavilion, but I want to leave it for Zhi'er to add makeup when she leaves the cabinet...... Of course, if she is unlucky, it is okay not to want to. There are also two pairs of bracelets, left for you to think about with your sixteen brothers and sisters...... I'll tell my grandmother that I'll tell you now, and if there's any trouble at that time, I hope you can come out and testify......"

When Qiu Yulan heard this, her tears fell even more: she knew that Xiao Tao's special statement was not actually for any corroboration - Xiao Tao's total of what she left to her husband's family was a pair of phoenix hairpins and two pairs of bracelets, which added up to not even a makeup box. With Mrs. Tao speaking, no matter how stupid the Tao family is, they will not care about such a few things, and there is no need for Qiu Lulan to come forward.

The focus of these words is the phoenix hairpin - Qiu Yulan had a fierce conflict with the big house soon after entering the door, and the fuse was the phoenix hairpin that Qin Guogong gave an extra reward, and now Xiao Tao wants to send a pair of phoenix hairpins to Jiang Huizhi, but he is afraid that she will be unhappy, so Tete will say it first.

"The eighth sister-in-law did this just to ease the relationship between the big room and the fourth room. The phoenix hairpin that Dafang wanted was given to me by Qin Guogong, and it was impossible for me to give it to them, so the eighth sister-in-law gave Jiang Huizhi a pair of phoenix hairpins that she pressed at the bottom of the box when she was married, plus she is like this now, even if the Dou family is here, she can't bear to refuse, right? Qiu Yulan bit her lip hard: This sister-in-law has only one breath left here, but she hasn't forgotten to give her brother and daughter-in-law in the room......

She was feeling broken, and listened to Xiao Tao's idiot: "It's a pity that I can't see the children of the sixteen brothers and sisters, I have a lot of regrets in my life, and the most regrettable thing is that I can't have a child of my own." Both men and women, as long as they are safe...... Unfortunately, I don't have that blessing...... Fortunately, you and your sixteen brothers and sisters are blessed people, if there is really any spirit in heaven after I go, I must pray from time to time, I hope that you and your sixteen brothers and sisters can have a full house of children and grandchildren, and you will have no worries for a lifetime! ”

The nails unconsciously pinched into the palms, Qiu Yulan suddenly turned his head and ordered Cui Zhan, Su He, and Shen Shui to go out, and then said to Xiao Tao: "Eighth sister-in-law, you ...... Really want a baby? Want one, your own flesh and blood? ”

Xiao Tao saw that she asked the maid to retreat, and only said that there was something important, and when she heard this, she was stunned, and laughed at herself: "Yes, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've really dreamed about it all these years...... It's just that...... What's the use of thinking about it again? ”

"I know there is a recipe, as long as you have one time, you will be able to get pregnant!" Qiu Yulan took a deep breath and tried to make his expression look believable, "As long as you start recuperating now, when your body improves, I promise—"

Xiao Tao looked at her and smiled: "Nineteen brothers and sisters, I know you want me to live." It's just, I really ......"

"Eighth sister-in-law, you don't believe me?" Qiu Yulan looked at her infinitely aggrieved - this look was getting smaller and smaller in front of Qiu Jinglan, but in Xiao Tao's place, it was still exchanged for a sigh: "Brother and sister, you have always treated me well, I think the children are about to go crazy, so I will tell you now." But as a woman, who doesn't want to have a child? You really have such a formula, you are a human being, and you should have given it to me when you entered the door, didn't you? ”
