"What's wrong?"

Ruri frowned.

"When the general and his grandmother went out of the house to go to the grave, Hanxue suddenly asked the slave to buy embroidery thread on the street, and asked me to go to the house where there was a stone lion at the gate of Qingque Hutong to buy it. Then he gave the slave and maid a note, saying that he was afraid that I would not be able to tell me, so he wrote a piece of paper for me to show to the shopkeeper and match it for her. Although the slave and maid could not read, they could read the numbers, and when she heard her say that the numbers and everything were written, she saw that there was not a single number on it, so she paid attention, and then asked the street to help the scholar who wrote the letter to see it. After reading it, the scholar was puzzled and asked which minister's family I belonged to? The slave maid thought that if it was really the name of buying embroidery thread, how could the scholar see that I was a subordinate of the minister's family? So he pretended to be from the Prime Minister's Mansion, asked him to copy a copy and bring it back, and asked his grandmother to look at it. ”

After Bingling finished speaking, he took a folded piece of paper from his belt and handed it to Liuli. "The slave and maid have carefully compared, and it is indeed exactly the same as the original one."

Liuli opened it and looked at it, and suddenly frowned, what was written on it was actually some things and analysis that happened between the father and son of the Qi family, but the names were replaced by the old man and the second master and the third master, and there was no big secret, not to mention the question of how Liuli and Qi Yunhao thought about how Qi Yunhao stood in line. When ordinary people get this piece of paper, at most, they think that the secrets of various provinces are just passed on between the women of the house, and they will not think of any major military affairs.

Although the prince is stupid, he shouldn't be stupid enough not to care about Qi Yunhao's private movements and study the relationship between other fathers and sons, what does Hanxue mean by sending this out?

Liuli believed that Qi Yunhao would not lie to her, it was useless for him to lie to her, and he took 10,000 steps back and said, even if he really liked Hanxue, there was no need to make up that kind of lie. Besides, she herself has eyes, and she can see that Hanxue has a purpose. It's just that she hides it well. So, what does the content of this note say?

"You just said that she asked you to show this note to the embroidery thread seller who has a stone lion in front of the door of Qingque Hutong. And what did you find when you went?"

Liuli folded the paper and said.

Bingling said: "That shop is not big, mixed on the same street and eye-catching. There are many shops with stone lions at the door. It's just a needlework business, and it's the only one with a stone lion at the door. There were only two women, one old and one young, both of whom could read and write, and the old woman took the note with a calm expression, and gave the slave maid five-color silk embroidery just like the real thing, and said nothing else. ”

Liuli thought for a while and said, "Rui'er bring the monthly money." Then he said to Bingling: "You go back first." Don't reveal anything. ”

Bingling nodded and went down. Liuli called Kikyo Er, "You go and find a family that sells embroidery thread with stone lions at the entrance of Qingque Hutong, and observe who the people there are in contact with." And then what an anomaly. ”

A young and old woman who does a small needlework can actually read and write, which in itself is suspicious. Liuli wants to see what mission Hanxue is carrying.

Liuli waited for the bellflower to come back, but after drinking a bowl of medicine, Ji Xiaoquan came in.

"Back to grandma's words. The news came out from the prison, and when Yu saw He Tingfang's list for the sale of the restaurant that day, he vomited blood on the spot and fainted twice. Today, He Tingyu and his wife went to visit the prison and talked about it in prison. Yu cried for a long time, wrote a blood book, and explained that he would give all the property in his hand to He Tingyu and our second grandmother. Old lady He has only been a little more neat in the past two days, so she lay down again. ”

The Yu family's pile is down, anyway, what seedlings bear what melons, and which of the descendants taught by the Yu family is red. Just hearing the mention of the sick old lady He, Liuli couldn't help sighing. It is customary to go back to her mother's house on Chinese New Year's Eve to say goodbye, and she has been hesitant to go back to see him for the past two days. In dealing with her, the granddaughter who came out halfway, Mrs. He's attitude is indeed not very thoughtful, and she is always in a constant vacillation between good and bad, all in all, Liuli has not treated him as his own grandfather, but if he hates him and hates him, it is not enough.

"The old lady is just afraid that it won't last long," Ji Xiaoquan saw that she was silent, and said: "The little one heard from the people in He Mansion that after the death of the eldest master, the old lady had a stroke, and he didn't recover much, just his consciousness recovered." Dr. Wu has already gone to see it, and it is a blessing to be able to drag it through this spring. ”

Liuli sighed again, picked up the tea and paused, "Do you think I'm going or not?"

Ji Xiaoquan paused and said, "If grandma lets the little one say, the little one thinks that it is better to go." Grandma should go even if she is not for the old lady and the eldest master, or for the old lady back then. What's more, there are eight girls and five grandmothers in He Mansion who treat grandma well, and their fathers are also the flesh and blood of the old lady, and it is understandable that grandma does not recognize the eldest master, but if even the old lady and the old lady do not recognize it, it is not recognizing the ancestor. Later, I saw the three masters and the four masters, and it was not easy to talk. ”

Ruri nodded and took a sip of tea. It sounds a little reasonable, and her dowry was given by the old lady, and for the sake of the old lady's face, it is reasonable to go to see her husband who died soon. So he put down the cup and said, "Then let's arrange it, I'm not free tomorrow, Rui'er will prepare a few color gifts, and go to He Mansion after lunch."

It happened that Qi Yunhao came back at lunch, and heard that she was going to Hefu, so he said: "I killed their eldest lord this time, their old lady must hate me, maybe even you will have to complain." I'll go with you. ”

Liuli hesitated: "But what if he is not polite to you?" It's possible, after all, a dying person has no scruples. She doesn't care about it, if Qi Yunhao is scolded by him, she doesn't think he can stand it.

Qi Yunhao said slowly: "How can you not be polite?" Can he still beat me? If you scold me a few words, it's nothing if he talks about him as an elder. As long as you are a grandfather to him, I will respect him as a grandfather. ”

Liuli's heart warmed, and her eyes were astringent.

After dinner, he set off to He Fu, He Pusong and He Xiu were officials in the same dynasty as Qi Yunhao, and greeted the gate, and the Liang Nie family welcomed Liuli in with complicated eyes.

Huanhua and Luo Mingzhu hugged Brother Ping to greet them at the second gate. Liuli looked up, the red lanterns that had been hung high at this time in previous years were gone, a few servants stood sparsely under the courtyard, and the window flowers and New Year's paintings on the door had not been replaced.

"There is such a catastrophe in the long room, and the old lady is seriously ill in bed, and no one has the heart to get this." Huanhua glanced at Liuli and said.

Ruri also glanced at her and went to the main courtyard together.

There is unspoken indifference in Huanhua's eyes, and this kind of emotion is invisible in the eyes of others. Liang Nie's eyes were complicated, but there was only fear, awe, worry, and uneasiness, and they all counted how He Lili died, and they were all afraid that she would deal with them next. And Luo Mingzhu is indifferent, not indifferent to Liuli, but indifferent to the ending of Changfang, all this is none of her business, although she has not seen it before, but Ruan's greed and He Lili's coldness to Aunt Su She knows.

The reason why Huanhua is indifferent is because in addition to disagreeing with what He Lili did like Luo Mingzhu, there is also a kind of sadness about the gradual decline of her family by the descendants of the He family, and she is one of the few descendants of He Mansion with a pure heart.

Along the way, except for the He Pusong brothers and Qi Yunhao had a conversation, the female dependents were speechless, in fact, it was only a month since the last time Liuli went in and out here, but it looked like it had been many years, and with the collapse of the long house, it became depressed in an instant.

When I arrived at the main courtyard, a maid with a raw face opened the curtain, and Liuli glanced around, and Biyun and Qingshang were gone. The old lady sat on the couch, the quilt was huddled together, and the whole person was thin. He Pusong stepped forward and said, "Dad, General Qi and Liuli are here." The old lady raised her eyes after a long while, looked at Liuli, stretched her chin, and said, "Sit down."

Ruri and Qi Yunhao sat down on the chair in front of the couch.

The room was silent. Liuli coughed after a long time and said, "The general and the second master go and sit next door."

He Pusong and He Xiuyuan hurriedly got up and asked Qi Yunhao to go next door, and the Liang family and Nie also got up to go to Zhang Luo for refreshments

Liuli said to the couch: "How is the old lady's appetite these days?" I brought some easily digestible jujube paste cake and yam cake, and I don't know if it suits your taste. ”

The old lady said: "What tastes are not tasteful, the dying person."

Ruri fell silent and stopped talking.

After a long silence in the house, the old lady said, "What are you still doing?"

Liuli looked at him, but still didn't speak.

The old lady snorted and held the edge of the couch with both hands: "I have been thinking about whether my son died unjustly or not these days, I know, Qi Yunhao hates him, he hates him right, and the matter of food almost killed him, but your life is given by him, without him, you have no chance to live as well as you want." My son gave you life, but died at your hands, and you owe me two lives, one for yours and the other for him! ”

His eyes glared at Liuli, his cloudy eyes as if they were about to burst into flames.

Liuli stood up against the slanting sun shining in from the window, stretched out her hand and pushed the window sash, and the sunlight leaked into the house like a curtain of water.

The old lady's eyes narrowed, don't look over.

"How long has it been since the old lady saw the sun?" Ruri asked, "This window has been so closed for a few months, right?" A person is always trapped in his own world, and he will never know how to empathize, even if he dies, he will not feel that he is wrong. ”
