Chapter 210: Grace and righteousness

Chapter 210

Grace and righteousness

Xiao Jun woke up and remembered Mengxi. Reaching out and touching it, his arms were empty, his heart was shocked, and he wanted to sit up, but after exerting his strength, he found that he had no strength in his body, and shouted:

"Red beads, red beads!"

Hongzhu, who was dozing off on the soft couch, heard the second master's shout, opened her eyes suddenly, and saw that the second master was looking at her, hurriedly got up, came to the second master's bedside, and said excitedly:

"The second master finally woke up, the slave and maid fell asleep, the second master has been asleep for two days, and finally woke up, what does the second master want to do?"

Finally waiting for the chattering Hongzhu to shut up, Xiao Jun opened his mouth and asked:

"I've slept for two days, what about the clothes I wore that day?"

After listening to the second master's brainless question, Hongzhu was confused for a long time before she came back to her senses, and hurriedly replied:

"The second master's clothes were dirty that day. The slave maid has already been sent to wash, and it should be sent back in the next two days, and the second master wants to wear it? ”

When Xiao Jun heard that the clothes had been sent to be washed, his face changed, and he asked casually:

"Have you taken out all the contents of your clothes?"

Don't even ask! Is it so hard that the second master is really confused? After listening to the second master's question, Hongzhu glanced at him worriedly, and replied cautiously:

"It's all taken out, what is the second master looking for, the slave will get it for you"

"Take them all."

After listening to the second master's words, Hongzhu hurriedly turned around and took out a tray on the cabinet on the ground, on which were placed jade pendants, flutes, silver tickets and other things that the second master carried, and held it in front of the second master, Xiao Jun glanced at it, there was nothing he wanted, his face was a little pale, and he looked at the tray in a daze.

Hongzhu stood there holding the tray, seeing that the second master was silent, he didn't know what he wanted, so he asked:

"What does the second master want?"

"That's all, no more?"

After listening to the second master's words, Hongzhu was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said:

"Second master, wait!"

After Hongzhu finished speaking, he turned around and put down the plate in his hand, rummaged through the cabinet next to the bed for a while, took out a small bag wrapped in a handkerchief, and opened it. It was the wisp of green silk cut by the second grandmother, which had been washed clean, revealing a hint of luster, and handed it to the second master with both hands and said:

"The second master is looking for this, the slave maid thought this yesterday...... It's not good for the minions to see, so I put it alone."

Seeing the wisp of green silk, the second master's eyes emitted a strange brilliance, stretched out his left hand to take the clumsy wrap up, and carefully put it into his arms, only then did he breathe a long sigh.

His eyes began to look in the house again, and after looking at it for a long time, a trace of panic suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked anxiously:

"What about the second grandmother? Is it still in the house? ”

Watching the second master put away the second grandmother's green silk as if he had obtained a treasure, thinking of the origin of the second grandmother's concubine, Hongzhu couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for the second grandmother, and when she heard the second master's nervous voice, she also knew what the second master was worried about, and hurriedly replied:

"Second master, don't worry, the second grandmother has been in the house all the time, and she has been serving you for two days without undressing, and I just saw that you didn't burn. I went back to the East Chamber."

After Hongzhu finished speaking, seeing that the second master did not speak, he continued:

"The second master has been asleep for two days, I think I am hungry, the second grandmother just ordered the slave to make some white porridge, the slave and the maid ordered someone to bring it up, the second master used some first, the old lady and the eldest lady just sent someone to inquire about your situation, and the slave and the maid ordered someone to pass the word"

After Hongzhu finished speaking, seeing the second master nodding, he turned around and walked out, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he was called back again, only to hear the second master say:

"Later, I will go to the Shouxi Hall to spread the word, you go to the East Chamber to pass the second grandmother first"

After listening to the second master's instructions, Hongzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally answered and walked out.

Hearing that Mengxi had been guarding his bedside for two days, the second master showed a happy smile, and his heart was suddenly full of tenderness, he couldn't see her immediately, and when he saw that Hongzhu was going to pass on the old lady, he suddenly remembered that on the day when Mengxi's identity was revealed, he was taken directly to Shouxi Hall after he was urgently retrieved from outside the house, and he has not spoken to Mengxi alone since then.

Mengxi's background is against the ancestral teachings, this matter is too big, even if he swears not to be the head of the family, his grandmother and parents will not let it go easily, he must see the old lady before he meets him. Reached a consensus with Mengxi, and secretly regretted it at this time, he should have talked to Mengxi a long time ago, he had to fight against the Xiao family's ancestors, his strength alone was too small, they had to work together, as long as she stood behind him and gave him a trusting look, he would have infinite strength, persevere to the end for her and his happiness, and never give up! didn't let her be wronged in the Xiao family.

Looking at the door, after a while, the door was opened, the second master's eyes lit up, and then dimmed, it turned out to be Hongxing walked in with a silver plate, and when he saw the second master looking over, he said while putting the silver plate on the table:

"This is the white porridge that the second grandmother specially instructed the slave to make, and the second master can use it while it is hot."

Seeing Hongxing coming in with porridge, Xiao Jun was really hungry, but he was worried that Mengxi would come over soon, so he said to Hongxing:

"Leave it alone, pour me a glass of water to drink first."

Red Apricot answered. Hurriedly took the teapot and poured a glass of water, came over to help the second master up, cushioned it with a pillow in the back, and waited to drink.

was busy, only to see Hongzhu listlessly push the door in, the second master saw it, and said to Hongxing:

"You go out, just have red beads"

Hong Xing answered the call and turned around and walked out. Seeing that Hongxing had gone out, the second master asked:

"What is the second grandmother doing, what do you say?"

Looking at the second master, Hongzhu's expression darkened. His lips moved, he turned his head to see the porridge on the table, and said to the second master:

"The slave maid will serve the second master to drink porridge first, if it gets cold for a while, it will not be good"

"What did the second grandmother say!"

Seeing Hongzhu like this, Xiao Jun's body shook, and he unconsciously aggravated his tone. Seeing that the second master was in a hurry, Hongzhu's face turned pale, she was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said:

"The second grandmother said that she and the second master had already broken off their righteousness, and only waited for the second master to wake up and give her a letter of resignation before leaving the Xiao Mansion, and it was inconvenient to meet the second master in private, so she only told the slave maid to serve you well."

Hearing such heartless words, Xiao Jun's body shook and asked:

"Did the old lady and the eldest master persecute the second grandmother while I was unconscious?"

"Back to the second master, the old lady only told the second grandmother to abide by the rules and serve you well, everything will be said when you wake up, the slave and the maid guess that the second grandmother is also afraid that you will offend the ancestral training for her again, make the old lady and the eldest master angry, and be charged with unfilial piety, it is better not to see, cut off your thoughts, the slave and the maid begged the second master to see it, the ancestral training is difficult to disobey, the second grandmother is also doing this for your good, after all, the long pain is better than the short pain."

Listening to Hongzhu's words, Xiao Jun leaned weakly on the bed and closed his eyes. Hongzhu didn't know how to persuade this infatuated second master, and she didn't dare to tell him that she had just knelt in the east chamber and begged for a long time, and she almost broke her head, and she couldn't even bear to know Xia and Zhidong, so she begged for help. But the second grandmother still ruthlessly kicked her out of the East Chamber.

Looking at such stubborn two people, Hongzhu also felt a burst of sadness, such a good pair of beautiful people, but they were destined to fly apart. Suppressing the sorrow in her heart, Hongzhu said softly:

"The slave and maid will order someone to pass the word to the old lady, the porridge is going to be cold, and the second master has to use some food first."

Seeing that the second master was silent, Hongzhu pushed the door and told Hongxing to go to the Shouxi Hall to pass the word, and then asked someone to fetch water for the second master to wash, there were already two little maids coming in with toiletries, Hongzhu waited for the second master to wash, and then instructed the maid to move the table to the side of the bed, and was busy, the little maid came in and returned:

"The three aunts and Hongyu heard that the second master woke up and came to serve"

Hongzhu listened, looked at the second master, and saw him leaning there expressionlessly, as if he hadn't heard the maid's words, Hongzhu thought about it and asked them to come in and persuade the second master, maybe it would be better. Thinking of this, he nodded at the maid who was talking.

After a while, the three aunts and the red jade fish rushed in, and stepped forward in turn to say hello to the second master.

When the second master saw it, he was slightly stunned, nodded at them, and the aunt asked for peace, so she stood on both sides, and the eldest aunt saw that Hongzhu was busy setting the meal, and stepped forward to help.

The meal was set, Hongzhu helped the second master to sit at the table, and added a pillow on the back, the eldest aunt had already prepared the porridge and brought it to the second master, Aunt Cui saw that the second master was clumsy with a spoon in her left hand, her eyes rolled, and she swept around, and saw Aunt Zhang standing there, with a hesitant look on her face, she hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the porridge on the table and said:

"It's inconvenient for the second master to have injuries on his hands, and the concubine serves the second master's meal"

Aunt Cui said, reaching out to take the spoon in the second master's hand, wanting to feed him with her own hands.

Because of Mengxi's desperation, Xiao Jun had already lost his appetite, but he also knew that he couldn't get better without eating, so he forced himself to sit at the table, only to find that his right hand was wrapped in a medicine cloth, and he had to use his left hand, and he was awkward, seeing Aunt Cui talking, he looked up at her, and he caught a glimpse of a trace of excitement flashing in Aunt Cui's eyes, and he felt a burst of disgust in his heart, and he had no appetite at all, put down the spoon and said:

"Pull it off."

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and looked at the second master in unison, only to see that the second master had tried to move to the bed, lay down, and closed his eyes.

Aunt Cui's body shook, her hands trembled, and a bowl of porridge almost spilled out. His eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist, and he choked up and said:

"The second master has been in a coma for two days, and the water and rice have not entered, so he can eat some to recover his strength, and if he survives like this, the iron man can't stand it."

After Aunt Cui finished speaking, she looked at the second master sadly, for a long time, only to hear the second master close his eyes and say:

"I'm in good health, how can I be so delicate, all the aunts have good intentions, stay in the backyard, just have less things, don't come over every day to serve, go down."

"Second master, the concubine will serve you and eat a little, the second master just received the family law a few days ago, and no matter how strong his body is, he can't stand such a toss."

I saw that the second master said impatiently:

"Let's all go down, I want to be quiet for a while"

Hearing that the second master's tone was already full of impatience, Hongzhu hurriedly stepped forward to take the porridge bowl in Aunt Cui's hand and said:

"The second master wants to be quiet, the aunts will wait outside first, the second master will have something to do in a while, and the slave will invite the aunt to come in"

Aunt Cui glanced at the second master again, saw that he closed his eyes and stopped talking, bit his lip, turned around and retreated, and a strong hatred rose in Aunt Cui's heart to Aunt Zhang's gloating expression.

The aunts withdrew, Hongzhu glanced at the second master who was lying there with his eyes closed, knowing that it was useless to persuade at this time, he motioned to the maid to move the table first, and was busy, a little maid came in to report:

"Back to the second master, the old lady and the eldest lady heard that you woke up and came to see you."
