The Queen Mother has not come back yet, and the Ningchun Pavilion is empty, and on weekdays, I saw a few little eunuchs who came up to say hello and say hello, looking at Li Quan'er, and they all avoided it from afar. (->

Qi Su Niang is calm and calm, Mama Yu will come back.

She opened the door, walked into her own room, pushed away the little eunuch's hand, and looked back at Li Quan'er, who was following the house, "I'm tired of my father-in-law, I'm a little tired, and I want to rest." ”

Li Quan'er smiled slightly, "I'm afraid that the injuries on Miss Qi's feet need to be seen, so as not to hurt the bones." Without waiting for Miss Qi to answer, she gave the little eunuch a look, "Go to the Tai Hospital, and ask a doctor who specializes in treating bruises to come and take a look at Miss Qi." ”

"It's just a minor injury—"

Qi Su Niang's words were only out, and the little eunuch had already gone out and went straight away.

Qi Su Niang endured and endured, and glanced at the four guards in the room, "Father-in-law, look at the clothes on my body—"

Li Quan'er hurriedly said: "Miss Qi is changing clothes." The minions waited outside. "Come on, two go to the door, and two go to the window to guard." With that, he withdrew with a smile and gently closed the door for Qi Su Niang.

Qi Su Niang listened to the sound of footsteps, two straight figures could be faintly seen outside the window, her heart was getting colder and colder, she barely supported herself, didn't think about anything else, changed her clothes, and muttered to herself, "Mama Yu, Mama Yu will come to me, I ask the Queen Mother, I ask the Queen Mother-" It was getting late, the room fell into darkness, Qi Su Niang said softly in a daze, "I'm going to find Brother Chen-"

The door creaked and was pushed, and the little eunuch carried a lantern and led an old lady doctor in.

A lone lamp lit on the table. Qi Su Niang saw that the doctor had taken medicine. Wrap your left foot naked like a rice dumpling. Asked softly. "Adult injury—"

"It's a small injury. but twisted the tendons. Chen Fu is afraid that it is better not to move this month. ”

The Imperial Physician withdrew. Qi Su Niang's center of the earth is getting heavier and heavier.

Soon. Li Quan'er walked in. Greet someone to bring dinner. Li Quan'er looked at her face. Said slowly: "Miss Qi is a slave and the imperial doctor has told Mama Yu about Miss Qi's injuries. Miss Qi doesn't have to go to the Queen Mother to wait in the future. The slave persuaded the girl that there was a hot spring in the mountain village. Miss Qi figured it out. It's good to ask the Queen Mother to heal her injuries. Otherwise. Miss Qi can't get out of this house. ”

Qi Su Niang looked at Li Quan'er coldly. "The Chen Qi family does not have Xiaotang Mountain Zhuangzi under their names——"

Li Quan'er glanced at her. There was no interface hand to let people go out. "Miss Qi. The slave can also be regarded as having a fate with Miss Qi. Over the years, Miss Qi has been courteous to the slave in everything. The slave persuaded Miss Qi again. Li Quan'er paused. Miss Qi and Master Cui learned to listen to the master's words. I haven't treated Miss Qi badly all these years—"

With a bang, the door of the house was kicked open heavily, cutting off Li Quan'er's words.

Li Quan'er and Qi Suniang were startled by the sound, and together they saw that it was the fourteenth elder brother in front of the door of the house, and Fu Yourong was standing behind him.

Qi Su Niang's tears that she had endured for a long time finally welled up, she stood up on the table, moved towards the fourteenth elder brother one step at a time, and cried: "Fourteenth master, what happened to Brother Chen—"

The fourteenth elder brother glanced at the injury on Qi Su Niang's foot, and swept Li Quan'er coldly, with a hint of annoyance on his face, but he covered it up again, and said in a deep voice: "Tell them to get out." ”

Li Quan'er hurriedly responded, closed the door with a smile and retreated, and the four guards outside retreated together.

Fu Yourong stayed outside the door, and the fourteenth elder brother walked into the room, frowned and looked at Qi Su Niang's injury, sat down in the chair, and waved his hand, "You sit." ”

"Fourteenth Master, what the hell is wrong with Brother Chen, he-" Qi Su Niang held on to the table, crying and asked with fear and fear, "The Crown Master and the Eighth Master both said that he was dead-I don't believe it-"

The fourteenth elder brother looked at her and sighed, "Ye has already asked carefully, when he came out of the source of the Yellow River, he was raided by the Junggar rangers, encountered an ice collapse, and lost his life, and the bones were probably searched by the Dzungars, or buried under the ice."

”

Qi Su Niang's hand holding the table trembled, "Dzungar-" She shook her head desperately and cried: "Since I haven't seen the bones, I don't believe it, I don't believe it-the emperor hasn't issued an edict yet-"

The fourteenth elder brother said worriedly: "The emperor's decree has been prepared, and the second-grade baron has been rewarded, and the descendants are hereditary—it was the queen mother who was worried that you would not be able to stand it for a while, so she dragged it out." ”

Qi Su Niang heard that the emperor had drafted a decree and decided that Chen Yan was dead, her heart twitched, her feet were soft, she sat down on the ground, and looked at the fourteenth elder brother in a daze, her lips were so white that she was bloodless, but she was trembling and couldn't speak.

Brother Chen is dead! Qi Su Niang couldn't support it anymore and collapsed to the ground.

The fourteenth elder brother looked at Qi Su Niang on the ground, angry and helpless. He slapped the armrest on the chair, got up and walked over, sat beside her, looked at her and said, "These days, the master is planning to come and go for you, and it is useless to go back to Gaoyou's hometown, unless you are a big merchant in Jiangnan, you have no friendship, and you have not taken care of the affairs of the ninth brother, and you don't want all the wealth of the Qi family...... Now this season, don't find a man to support the portal for you, you

Do you live a frank life......"

Qi Suniang looked up at the layers of dougong beams on the roof, tears flowed silently, and her eyes were already blurry.

"You are a woman with such temperament, and there is no one to protect you, where can you survive? Chen Bianzhi is in one day, you live in one day. The master just wants to carry you into the house, but he is impatient to be angry with you and be troubled by you. ”

The fourteenth elder brother smiled bitterly: "If you are an outer room, not to mention that I have wronged you, I don't worry that you are outside." You have white eyes, and you are not a well-behaved woman who can not go out of the house. I don't know when I recruited a wolf, and I don't want to worry about cuckolding every day...... In terms of calmness in this matter alone, the master is far inferior to Chen Changzhi......"

Qi Su Niang remembered the words of the eighth elder brother, and suddenly opened her mouth, trembling in a trembling voice, "Lian-Lian Zhenyun-"

"Actually, if you marry Lian Zhen, he won't treat you badly......" The fourteenth elder brother frowned and said, "You don't look down on him again......"

Qi Su Niang covered it with a handkerchief and whimpered, "I didn't expect it...... There are so many women in his house......"

Fourteenth elder brother thought

Qi Su Niang only felt that the tears in her eyes kept coming out, and she was so painful that she couldn't breathe, and she opened her mouth, but she couldn't spit out a word.

The fourteenth elder brother crossed his legs, rubbed his forehead, and said slowly: "Fourth brother and the thirteenth, don't think about it, this is something that can't be done." Besides, the thirteenth must be looking forward to you keeping the festival for Chen Bianzhi. Forget it about the tenth brother. There are too many women in Brother Jiu, and the house can't take care of them......"

"He said that if I remarry, he can't stand it...... I would like to ......," Qi Su Niang muttered, "What else do I live—"

"No one is going to stand it. It's just that people are staring at it now, you are a lonely widow with no children, if you really fall into the trap and something happens, you can only admit it, it is better to choose one as soon as possible! The fourteenth elder brother was full of trouble, suddenly stood up, kicked over the chair he was sitting on, and said angrily: "Chen Bianzhi has no worries!" Since he married you, he should plan for you, if he took a concubine and gave birth to a son, inherited the title and family business, you lived with the second-grade baron, and became your wife in peace, who else would be interested in you! ”

Qi Su Niang's heart was already cold, she slowly closed her eyes, stopped crying, and stood up on the table.

The fourteenth elder brother walked away two steps in annoyance, "Forget it, don't talk about it, there is really nothing you like, at most, the master will bear with it and accept you......" The fourteenth elder brother glanced at her and sighed, "The days are still long, you should think about it." ”

Qi Su Niang leaned against the table and sat down slowly, she looked at the back of the fourteenth elder brother who turned around to open the door, and suddenly exhaled, "Fourteenth master." ”

The fourteenth elder brother paused, looked back at her, and looked at her with doubts on his face. Outside the door, Fu Yourong listened with his ears pricked up.

Qi Su Niang stared at the fourteenth elder brother and said softly: "The fourteenth master has taken care of me for more than ten years, but I haven't repaid the slightest ......."

The fourteenth elder brother was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "Ye still wondered, how could Ye come up with such a stupid idea as accepting you as a slave in the first place." It's not that you do things for your grandfather, but that your grandfather worries about you, and I regret my death, but fortunately, I haven't counted on you yet......" After that, he stepped out of the door and went.

There was a lone lamp in the room, and the oil in the oil bowl was about to burn out, projecting Qi Su Niang's thin black figure onto the window. Before the footsteps of the fourteenth elder brother disappeared in Qi Su Niang's ears, the sound of clothes rubbing against each other sounded in the corridor outside the house, flashing the figures of the four guards beside the eighth elder brother who had withdrawn earlier.

Qi Su Niang watched their shadows silently projected out of the door, in front of the window, and sighed softly.

The evening breeze rose, and the branches outside the window swayed, and the shadow of Qi Su Niang was hanging around.

The wind penetrated through the closed doors and windows, blowing the lonely lamp bright and dark for a while, and Qi Su Niang's face was already blurry.

Qi Su Niang slowly walked to the black lacquer round-horned suitcase and opened the lid. The box is full of her clothes, the left corner is the Buddha beads and the "Diamond Sutra" given by the Queen Mother, and there is a roll of white Luo Xuan and a pair of copper scissors in the right corner.

Qi Su Niang took out the red jade Buddha beads and scriptures, took out the three tribute sandalwood sticks sandwiched in the scriptures, she lit the incense on the oil lamp, and the sandalwood that rose from Nana surrounded the whole room in a blink of an eye, seeping out of the doors and windows.

Through the cigarette, Qi Suniang seemed to see the figure of the Queen Mother worshipping Buddha in Cining Palace for decades, and smelled the withered sandalwood fragrance of the old ladies in her nose. She finally put the incense on the table, turned around, and walked to the box.

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Bai Luoxuan.

Bai Luoxuan was soft and soft, rolled layer after layer, but it was so cold.

Qi Su Niang twisted the white Luo pin with two fingers and dragged it out of the box little by little.

Bai Luoxuan twisted and wrapped around Qi Su Niang's feet, Qi Su Niang looked blankly at the empty hut, the layers of dougong beams, and the figures guarding outside the doors and windows, and murmured, "I'm going to find Brother Chen-"

The squeaking sound of the big locust tree outside the window was heard in Qi Suniang's ears, as if it was the locust tree outside Gaoyou Village that hanged the Song widow......

The lone lamp swayed in the wind, and the oil was running out.
