Chapter 281: Life and Death (I)

That day, Fang Shaoqin was wearing a lake-colored undergarment, an azure skirt, and a jade pendant of Danfeng Chaoyang fell on her waist. УNхАNе,cǒm

This time they are all young people, although they are separated by generations, and there are not so many taboos.

Qi Man's daughter-in-law smiled and said: "The eldest nephew and daughter-in-law are not a noble daughter from Xizhao, look at this appearance, none of us can compare with Yandi." ”

Fang Shaoqin pursed her lips and smiled: "Look at what Auntie said." Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, I arrived at the Qi family, and I was the daughter-in-law of the Qi family. Xizhao noble girl, it was also yesterday. ”

Gu Xiyan, who was leaning on the pillow, looked at Fang Shaoqin with a smile: "That's right!" ”

Fang Shaoqin avoided her gaze, lowered her head and walked to the cradle to look at the child.

Duan Yingluo took a few steps forward, and her hand gently rested on the cradle, as if she was shaking a child.

The child's silhouette is strikingly similar to Qi Hao...... It's not like Scarlet, it's like there are more people in the Fang family, it's beautiful, like a girl......

The thought flashed, and tears welled up in my eyelashes.

She blinked.

At this time, if you really shed a tear, I don't know what gossip will come out among relatives.

Fortunately, Qi Man's daughter-in-law asked Gu Xiyan about the "three-day ceremony" tomorrow: "The Wei family is far away. Brother is a little early. I'm afraid that grandma's family can't catch up! ”

"Hmm!" Gu Xiyan nodded and smiled. "It's been prepared for a long time. People definitely can't make it. I have to wait for the full moon ceremony. ”

Qi Qudi's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Otherwise." We've helped. It's the same! ”

Everyone was stunned. And then they all joined in.

Fang Shaoqin also laughed a few words with everyone. Then he got up and said goodbye: "Auntie." I've heard people say that Mama Yi's body is a little uncomfortable. I want to check it out! ”

"That's as it should be!" Gu Xiyan said with a smile. "She's been serving her grandmother all her life. You go over and take a look. It is also the grace of the masters. If there is a lack of medicinal herbs. Just come to me and get it. ”

Fang Shaoqin smiled and bowed her knees and thanked her.

Gu Xiyan smiled at Yunshang on the side: "You help me send the young grandmother." ”

Yunshang responded and left.

"Fang Shaoqin went to see Mama Yi?" Mrs. Wei was standing at the glass window looking at the artisan building the roof.

Yun Sheng replied "yes" and said, "The young lady has a room full of guests, and I have to rush over to serve ...... Mrs. sorted out and posted on ωωω jade nxuange, do you have any other instructions! ”

Mrs. Wei turned around and said, "The young lady is still nursing the child herself?" ”

This matter cannot be concealed.

Yunshang nodded.

Mrs. Wei snorted softly and said coldly, "You go!" ”

Yunshang hurriedly bent his knees away.

Bao Niang smiled on the side: "Madam." Aunt Gao also said that the young lady feeds herself, which is good for both children and adults. ”

Mrs. Wei sighed and said, "But in this way, I'm afraid it will be difficult to conceive for a while." ”

"Madame!" Qin Niang smiled, "Look at our brother Jun, how good it looks." If it weren't for the young lady's good mover, how could this be. She has just given birth, take this opportunity to raise for two years, and it is not too late to regenerate! ”

Mrs. Wei did not respond. said: "Go and see, what is that Fang Shaoqin doing with Mama Yi?" ”

Ju Zhengshang is divided into East Cross Courtyard and West Cross Courtyard. The East Cross Courtyard is dedicated to accommodating those who have errands around their masters, while the West Cross Courtyard is inhabited by some low-status servant women or servants who have made mistakes and are inconvenient to let go of them. It's a bit of a mixed taste.

Because it was morning when they came, the people in the West Cross Courtyard either hid in the house to avoid it and did not come out, or went to the various courtyards on errands. So when Fang Shaoqin entered, the courtyard was empty, and only four or five young children were squatting in the middle of the courtyard around a broken bucket and playing with fish.

When they saw someone come in, the children looked up.

An older one stood up. Ran over attentively: "Madam, who are you looking for?" ”

The child was dressed with patched clothes, but it was clean.

Mama Shi smiled and said, "Let's find Mama Yi!" ”

The boy pointed to the low door of the chamber not far away: "Oh, there it is!" The two pushed the door open.

The house is really just a narrow corner of an alley, with a door against the wall, and a small stove in front of the bed, on which is a black clay pot.

Hearing the sound, Mama Yi, who was lying on the bed, raised her head full of silver threads with great difficulty.

Seeing that it was Fang Shaoqin, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Struggling to sit up: "Grandma, why are you?" ”

Fang Shaoqin smiled: "Grandmother doesn't worry about you. Let me take a look. ”

It was Mama Shi who walked to the side of the bed and helped Mama Yi up.

Since Mrs. Xu fell ill that day, Mrs. Wei said that Mama Yi did not take good care of people, and let people drag her to the corridor between Xianji Courtyard and Gongshun Courtyard and beat her severely, breaking her leg and discounting her waist...... For the rest of my life, I'm afraid I'll have to lie in bed.

Mama Yi leaned weakly on Mama Shi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Young lady, how is Madame's illness?" ”

Fang Shaoqin's face was calm and there was no squeak. It was Mama Shi, who said in a low voice: "...... Don't worry, the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother will personally serve the sick in front of the bed......"

Mama Yi knew about this, so before Mama Shi's words fell, Mama Yi said anxiously: "Grandma, we are all dying people, and we are not worthy of your ...... You and the eldest young master should go back to Peanut Hutong and beg Fang Houye......"

Fang Shaoqin smiled helplessly: "...... The jade official disagrees, what can I do! ”

As she spoke, Mama Shi heard the sound of people walking around in the yard and greeting each other.

It seems that this is not the place to wait.

Mama Shi hurriedly whispered, "It's not convenient for us to come to you...... It's really the young lady who is too ruthless, the lady is sick, the monthly case has not risen, and the stickers are now posted, and now the daily expenses still depend on the marriage of our girls! ”

Mama Yi's eyes widened.

That's why I came to myself!

With Wei Zhengrong's personality, I am afraid that it will be impossible for me and Mrs. Xu to leave this courtyard. What's the use of keeping all that private money...... Maybe, one day it will be cheaper Wei Zhengrong.

She sighed: "Young lady, the thing is under Mrs. Xu's bed." ”

When Brother Jun celebrated the three-day ceremony, the chief steward of the Wei Mansion in Yongzhou sent food for the confinement and daily necessities for the children. It's just that people can't get there on time.

It should have been a matter of the mother's family, but it was the daughter of the Qi family who came, but among them, there were two foreigners, one was the Han family and the other was Liang Zhangzhu.

The Han family was invited by Gu Xiyan, but Liang Zhangzhu took the initiative to ask for it. She brought a toddler's cloak. The silver-red satin is embroidered with the pattern of the three gentlemen of Meizhulan, unlike the cloaks of ordinary children, and is embroidered with auspicious patterns such as bats, so there are several new ideas.

Liang Zhangzhu smiled and said, "This is made by our aunt and grandmother." The people in the room were bustling, and it was not the place to speak, Gu Xiyan nodded with a smile, and said excitedly: "Thank you to her on my behalf." ”

Later, Gu Xiyan and Qi Maosheng talked about it: "...... Thanks to her remembering me...... It makes me think that I don't feel like I'm alone. ”

Qi Maosheng hugged her and kissed her sideburns: "It's nonsense again, it's not me." Is there still the tenth day of the first month! ”

Gu Xiyan hugged Qi Maosheng back and said with a smile: "Because of you, I feel perfect!" ”

Brother Tun, who was lying alone in the cradle, pouted and cried.

Gu Xiyan hurriedly lost Qi Maosheng to coax the child.

A few days passed. An incident happened in Qi Mansion.

When Mama Wang of Xianji Yuan went out of the house to see her relatives, she was found out by the grandmothers of the second gate with a small roll of silver tickets, all of which were 1,000 taels, a total of three.

By the time Gu Xiyan knew that Duan Niang had rushed over to see what was going on, that Mama Wang had already been beaten up and out of breath. The grandmother guarding the door handed over people and things to Duanniang and brought them back.

Gu Xiyan asked her: "Is it a white and chubby grandmother?" ”

That should be the first time I entered the mansion, I took them to Huaiyuan to meet Mrs. Wei's grandmother. Then. She was on an errand in Xianji Courtyard, and it seems that she is also a trustworthy person for Mrs. Xu.

Duan Niang nodded, and then pushed the rolled silver ticket in front of Gu Xiyan.

Brother Jun rarely opened his eyes, and Gu Xiyan kept talking to him, so he just glanced at the silver ticket.

Her heart was like a mirror.

It seems that the life of the Hyunji Temple is not good, and this is thinking of countermeasures.

"Put things away!" Gu Xiyan said lightly, "The person will be handed over to the grandmother of the second gate." How it should be. So be it! ”

Duan Niang left in response.

"Wait," Gu Xiyan stopped Duan Niang, who was about to lift the curtain. "Tell Fang Shaoqin about this, just say that there is a bit of chaos at home these days, let them put away their things, don't walk around. After a few days, everything in the house will be cleared. ”

Mama Shi hurriedly said, "Girl, what can I do about this?" ”

Fang Shaoqin smiled bitterly and fell on Mrs. Xu, who was lying on the hospital bed: "You heard it too, let's not go around...... If we act rashly again, I'm afraid we will find an excuse to get rid of it quickly! ”

Mama Shi felt a sense of powerlessness, and suddenly thought of Mama Yi's words.

"Or, you can write a letter to Fang Houye!"

Fang Shaoqin pushed open the long window and stared at the bare courtyard, and said abruptly: "Shengjing is thousands of miles away, even if he wants to help us, he can't reach it!" What's more, who else can we find to deliver the letter now! ”

Mama Shi couldn't help but set her eyes on Mrs. Xu, but was surprised to see that there was something glittering in the corner of Mrs. Xu's eyes.

Fang Shaoqin didn't pay attention to these, and muttered: "Fortunately, I have an extra heart, and I brought some silver tickets out to try it first...... It's a nameless thing, it can be pushed clean, if you take the jewelry out as the jade official said, I'm afraid the matter won't be so simple. You have to find a way to get the account books at home and see what is in the bag of jewelry and what is not...... If you find us in this house, when the time comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River. ”

Over there, Gu Xiyan was also telling Duan Niang: "Find a way to let them get the account books...... If you can secretly return it, you will pay it back...... There is no need to push people to be urgent, to be ruthless. Give her hope in everything, and she won't be desperate...... It's not time yet, so you can put it off if you can......"
