Chapter 66: Night Comes
“…… What's good? Bringing Li Qi's daughter-in-law to the opposite room, Zhen Siniang quipped, "Is my pills robbed, you sent the silver?" While letting him sit down, he turned around and instructed Qiu Ju, "Serve tea." ”
"You're going to die of this heart!" Li Qi's daughter-in-law took a sip, "Your pill shook its head when it saw the price, and it has been sold for less than ten pills in half a year, and your brother Li asked me to discuss it yesterday, so you can just take it back." Li Qi's daughter-in-law looked at Zhen Siniang half-jokingly and half-seriously, "It's a big business that has come to the door, saying that it has been five years since I got married, and I asked you to go to the clinic by name, as long as you can conceive a child, it doesn't matter how much money you have." Looking at Zhen Shi Niang, "Do you say this is not pie in the sky?" ”
"Really?" Bringing tea in, Qiu Juzheng heard this, "Where are they?" He added, "You have also seen Aunt Magpie, and my young lady is the best at curing this disease." ”
Eating the marrow and knowing the taste, thinking of the New Year's goods sent by Xiao Yucheng's carriage, Qiu Ju's eyes lit up, these big families in the city, the most important thing is silver, if they are cured, just give a little is enough for them to eat for half a year.
Zhen Shi Niang couldn't cry or laugh.
This Qiu Ju really treats her as a child-giving mother.
"Who's to say it's not." Li Qi's daughter-in-law nodded in agreement, "Or someone specially named you to go to the doctor." He looked left and right and lowered his voice, "Look at the style, it should be a big family from the capital, but look at the illness with three or four carriages, from above down a fairy-like little girl, look at the dress you Brother Li thought it was the daughter of which family, and when I asked, I knew that it was actually a maid." Smacking his lips, "Do you think, the maids all wear brocade, so the serious master doesn't know how rich?" Looking at Zhen Shi Niang, "A big family like this, there is a lot of money to spend, and what I care about most is the heir, this must be the aunt of an official eunuch in Beijing, who has been married for several years and has no children." I'm afraid that my status is unstable and I secretly run out to see the disease, if you take a good look at it, let her get favored silver, it will definitely be indispensable......" said mysteriously, "This is all a shady thing, and if you make good use of it, you will definitely have a steady stream of wealth." Deadlifted Zhen Siniang to stand up, "Let's go." People are waiting. ”
"Slave maid go get clothes for Miss!" Qiu Ju ran out happily.
Zhen Siniang stepped out of the door with one foot and suddenly stood up, "Sister-in-law Li is saying that she has been married for five years?" ”
"Well, I haven't had any children." Li Qi's daughter-in-law nodded.
"How many wagons do they have?"
"Three."
"What is that little maid wearing?"
"Green brocade embroidered narrow jacket ......" Li Qi's daughter-in-law thought carefully.
It's her?
Qiu Ju suddenly remembered that Chu Xinyi's eldest maid Chunhong was wearing a green brocade embroidered narrow jacket, and her eyes widened. Turning his head and looking at Zhen Shi Niang in astonishment.
Remembering that Chu Xinyi had gone to Shangshu Mansion to find herself, Zhen Shi Niang couldn't help laughing.
It turns out that she wants to cure this disease.
Seeing off Li Qi's daughter-in-law, the magpie turned around and began to complain. "Miss is really, her face was beaten into a pig's head, and she definitely didn't dare to face you, so you disguised yourself and covered your face to show her, and knocked her hard."
The left and right sides have torn their faces, and this silver is not earned in vain.
"Then it depends on who the general's successor is?" Zhen Siniang dragged a pillow and leaned on it lazily, looking at the window pane that was covered with a layer of clear light reflected in the snow, and said casually. "If she hadn't been corrected, I could have helped her have a son and fight with the future mother of the General's Mansion......"
……
Awakened by a fierce knock on the door, Zhen Shi Niang sat up. Reaching out and touching the fire fold was just about to fight, he thought about it and put it aside again.
"Miss. It seems that the general is coming! Qiu Ju ran in with her clothes on.
"Is the big grandma asleep, the general is here!" The voice of the ascension was accompanied by a hurried knock on the door and remembered again.
Nonsense, who doesn't sleep at such a late hour?
Hearing that it was Rongsheng's voice, Zhen Shiniang scolded in her heart, and saw Jian Wu Jianwen sleeping sweetly by the moonlight in front of the window, and her whole body was excited, "It's the general who is here, hurry, hug Brother Wen and Brother Wu to the house......"
Qiu Ju also came back to her senses, and immediately stepped forward to hug Jian Wu, and Zhen Shi Niang followed to pick up Jian Wen.
After settling the child, hearing the knock on the door became more and more urgent, Zhen Siniang instructed Qiu Ju, "Put away the child's bedding and clothes." Grabbed the padded jacket and put it on his body, and ran out, "It's coming, it's coming......
"The general is well...... Zhen Shi Niang opened the door panting, "The concubine is sleeping too dead, so the general has been waiting for a long time." ”
“…… Real ink! As soon as he said that, Shen Zhongqi saw that Zhen Shi Niang was hurriedly buttoning up, half of her cotton clothes were open, and her thin body was trembling in the cold wind, and she immediately remembered her weight as light as catkins, so she frowned, "Why did you come out like this when you are not in good health, maid?" Thinking in his heart, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, and then retracted it again, and strode into the courtyard with a black face.
"Big Grandma Ann." Rongsheng gave Zhen Shi Niang a salute and quickly followed Shen Zhongchi.
What a temper!
Zhen Siniang turned to look at his tall and mighty back, in the moonlight, he was like an evil spirit, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, feeling the cold wind biting, and hurriedly trotted to follow.
After packing up Jian Wu Jianwen's things, Qiu Ju just lit the lamp, and as soon as he turned around, Shen Zhongqi had already entered the house with a blue face, and was shocked by the evil aura that rushed towards him, Qiu Ju knelt down, "...... People are slaves and maids, and it has nothing to do with the young lady, and the general will punish the slaves and maids if they want to punish them! He broke in in the middle of the night, he must have been angry for Chu Xinyi.
He also knew that he was a slave and maid, and he let his master brave the cold wind to open the door in disheveled clothes!
Glancing at Qiu Ju coldly, Shen Zhongchi's face turned even darker.
Qiu Ju shuddered.
“…… It's really a pearl in the palm of my hand, and I just beat Aunt Chu. Seeing that Shen Zhongqi couldn't get along with a ten-year-old child, Zhen Siniang sighed in her heart and pulled her up, "...... You are the orphan I picked up, not a slave of the General's Mansion, you don't need to kneel, go out. ”
"Miss!" Qiu Ju secretly stared at Shen Zhongqi and didn't dare to leave.
"Brother Wen and Brother Wu are still in the opposite room." Zhen Shi Niang made a lip gesture at her, and said loudly, "Qiu Ju, don't worry, the general is a great hero through the ages, and he won't beat a woman." ”
Whoever says heroes don't hit women!
Seeing Qiu Ju flashing out like a cat, Shen Zhongchi's forehead was bruised, he was going to do it, but his irritable mood was diluted a lot by this cunning and obviously flattering tone for no reason.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Zhen Siniang closed the door without a trace to separate Qiu Ju's back.
"General, please take a seat." She stepped forward and pulled a chair for Shen Zhongqi and touched the pot on the case, "The water is a little cold, the concubine went to make the kettle hot for the general." "Pull open the door and get out.
This fight is too angry, so let's wait for him to put down the fire before coming in.
"No, I'll be gone in a moment." Hearing Shen Zhongchi's cold voice, Zhen Shi Niang sighed and turned back.
"Minions go." Rong Sheng took the pot and took the opportunity to walk out.
"Why do you want to punish Aunt Chu?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhen Siniang sat quietly without speaking, Shen Zhongqi's anger couldn't help but rise little by little, and finally couldn't help breaking the silence.
"She hit the magpie."
Zhen Shi Niang's voice was faint, with a natural taste.
"The magpie is just a minion!" Shen Zhongqi lowered his voice again, and he looked at Zhen Shi Niang sarcastically, "...... Can't she punish even a minion? ”
Chu Xinyi is also a minion!
Zhen Siniang was also angry, but she only thought about it in her heart, she didn't dare to yell at him, Zhen Siniang coughed, "The concubine is the general's wife, can't even an aunt be punished?" ”
"You ......" Shen Zhongqi, who has always paid attention to the rules, couldn't help but stiffen.
After being abandoned for five years, he almost forgot that she was still the mother of his backyard, and never thought that Zhen Siniang would dare to interfere in the affairs of his inner courtyard as his wife. can think about it carefully, it is a fact that Zhen Siniang is the wife he is marrying, there is nothing wrong with what she said, and the punishment of the concubine by the wife is a matter in the backyard, and he, the head of the family, really has no position to speak, let alone support the concubine.
"Or ......" He was thinking about it, but Zhen Siniang didn't give him a chance to think, she said word by word, "The general came here late at night, and he moved the crowd so much to spoil his concubine and kill his wife!" "The last four words bite very hard.
Zhen Shi Niang met Shen Zhongchi's staring gaze and boldly looked at him.
Shen Zhongchi's eyes flashed, and his heart was slightly empty.
Suddenly, seeing that Chu Xinyi was beaten like that, under the anger and coercion of his mother, he rushed over overnight without saying a word, just to take the opportunity to break off with her, and now she said this, if she really used this matter to force her to reconcile tonight, she would really respond to the saying of spoiling the concubine and killing his wife, if she really messed around and made trouble to the government, it would really be difficult to clean up.
At least, in order to block Youyou's mouth, he can no longer support Chu Xinyi.
Thinking of Zhen Shi Niang's previous tricks and arrogance, Shen Zhongqi was really a little shrug in her heart, and her momentum was obviously a little weaker, "No matter what, she always presides over the aunt who feeds in the general's mansion." ”
Seeing that he softened, Zhen Shi Niang accepted it when she saw it, she sighed faintly, "If I beat someone else, I will always give her three points of face and don't care." "The words turned, "The magpie is different, she is a person with a double body, kneeling in the snow in the cold day, a corpse is not even a corpse and two lives, in the eyes of the general, she is just a slave, life is like an ant, death is dead, but the concubine is a life-saving benefactor, four years ago the concubine was seriously ill and her life hangs by a thread, if it were not for her undressed, the concubine would have returned to the underworld, the concubine ...... This life is hers. ”
Thinking of the bitter past, a layer of mist floated in Zhen Siniang's warm eyes, which made Shen Zhongchi's heart tremble.
The air fell silent.
After a long time, Shen Zhongqi shook his head, "...... Yi'er is gentle and virtuous, how could she let the magpie kneel on the snow? "Before coming, Chu Xinyi and Chunhong didn't say that.
That means she's lying!
A wave of anger suddenly came out, and Zhen Shi Niang understood as soon as she thought about it, between herself and Chu Xinyi, what he believed was naturally Chu Xinyi, and the words that he blurted out were stuck in her tongue, Zhen Shi Niang pursed her lips.
