149 The Dark Tide is surging
But what she is worried about is indeed a thing, although Luo Mingzhu has only seen one time, but she has the impression that she is a very measured girl, since she has ordered a baby parent, it is not satisfactory for this family matter, so she can only discuss it with others, how can such a thing be pulled out at this juncture?
She shook the fan, squinted at Nie slightly, and said in her conscience that she didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of the fourth room, but Uncle Xu was in Yu'an, and it was only a matter of asking about Scholar Luo's family background, so after thinking about it, she said: "It will take at least seven or eight days to write this letter once, and it may not be possible to inquire about it comprehensively immediately."
Seeing her nodding, Nie immediately straightened his waist: "I'm not afraid of this, I'm still in the old lady's filial piety, it doesn't matter if it's half a month or a month!" After speaking, he got up again, opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Please leave this matter to you, I won't delay your meal, and when it is done, I will thank you again!" ”
Rui'er sent her to the door, Yuegui came in and looked at the food on the table, while putting it away and heating it again, she couldn't help sighing: "Don't delay eating, this meal is already cold, if you delay it, this meal will not be rancid?" ”
Haitang pouted and came over to help, and also said: "I also said that I will thank you again after the fact, if you are sincere, how can there be any reason to thank you afterwards?" ”
Liuli complained to them, pondered for a moment, and walked to the study to pick up a pen and write a letter.
Although it took seven or eight days to go back and forth with the Nie family, in fact, it took four or five days to go fast. In the past six months, she has made a lot of money selling words, although Aunt Su has always refused to ask for it, but she has already saved up the twenty taels of silver. And I heard Rui'er say that they also saved several silver tickets in Ruifeng Bank, and now they don't have to shout poverty anymore. With the money in hand, it is much more convenient to do something, and now if you want someone to go to the street to carry something, although they will also go in the name of the nine girls, but spend two dollars to reward and reward. The man who did the work was running on his legs much faster. Therefore, when she writes letters to her uncles now, she usually adds money and walks quickly.
Anyway, she will get the money back from the Nie family.
After the letter was written, she handed it over to Rui'er to do, remembering that Uncle Xu wrote that the senior lady had a headache and had another problem recently. I was going to ask Wu Yinzhong for some good medicine for gynecological headaches and bring it over together.
She called Yuegui over: "Has Doctor Wu come to the mansion these days?" ”
The maids thought she was unwell, so they couldn't help but gather around. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's not that I'm sick, I'm asking Dr. Wu for some medicine for my wife." "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair" Yue Gui then said: "Linlang just sent rouge to the girl, saying that the third grandmother has not been happy these days, and it is rumored that Dr. Wu will come to the house early tomorrow morning, so the girl might as well go to the long room to find him." ”
Linlang is the maid in Aunt Su's room. Now the supply of glass is all with Aunt Su, so every month Aunt Su does not come, she has to send the maid over from time to time.
I had breakfast the next day. She took the begonia to the long house. First go to Aunt Su's house to say hello, Aunt Su is taking medicine.
"Mother's body is not feeling well again?" Ruri sat at the head of the bed and stroked her back.
Aunt Su smiled, "It's okay, it's an old disease." ”
Her cheeks rolled down as she laughed. She has lost a lot of weight these days, although there is no major problem, but the days of taking medicine are denser than before. He Lili now takes turns walking between her and Aunt Chen's room, sometimes she is uncomfortable, and she also stays in Aunt Chen's house for two days in a row, and the people privately say that he has taken a fancy to Hui'er next to Aunt Chen.
Liuli knew that Aunt Su also knew, but she didn't seem to care. At least Ruri can't feel it. Originally, she thought that after the fall of the Yu family, Aunt Su, as the victorious party, would be reasonable to regain some territory in the long house, but now she feels that she seems to have no He Lili in her heart at all, and she is still quietly being her elegant and generous aunt every day as before.
Ruri looked at her for a moment, then moved her gaze to her sideburns. There were already a few white threads, which had lost their luster like faded years.
She gently slapped her back and said casually, "The second girl hasn't been back for a few days, right?" ”
Aunt Su nodded: "It's still a trip back in the first month." ”
Since Aunt Su told Min Hua's life experience in public, this big secret is no longer a secret, Min Hua came back soon after, and cried under Aunt Su's knees for a long time, Aunt Su didn't say a word, and not a single tear came out. Min Hua couldn't do it in the end, so he had to go.
Some people say that Aunt Su is very sad, but Liuli feels that she is hating. Her hatred for the Yu family has extended to Min Hua in the past ten years, so she used to be so strict with her, and even a little unkind, but in that case, she still had to hide it. It wasn't until she tore open the wound in her heart that she was finally tired and didn't bother to hide it.
But she is ruthless, but Min Hua is still righteous, and then she comes back to see her every now and then, since Ma Weiqing married her, she has been promoted by the old lady to two levels, and now she is a waiter in the Hanlin Academy, and she is also very dedicated to Min Hua, and Min Hua comes back with her every time she goes home. The old lady admired him very much, and was thinking about transferring him to the household department as the head of the household department a few days ago. Although the attendant and the principal are of the same grade, but the household is rich in oil and water, how can it be compared to the clear water yamen of the Hanlin Academy? Now Min Hua has not returned to Ning for two months, and he doesn't know if it has been done.
She was absentmindedly accompanying Aunt Su here, and Lu Wei came in with the curtain at this time, and said, "Doctor Wu has come to the long room, does Auntie want to call him in to take a look?" ”
Aunt Su said: "That's it, let him take a good look at the third grandmother, I still have medicine here, I don't need him." ”
Liuli heard Haitang say this, and knew that she was notified to come, so she said: "I have some headaches these days, you go and tell him, after the diagnosis, the third grandmother invited him to come over, and I asked him for some medicine." We'll stay for dinner at noon. ”
Haitang agreed, Aunt Su looked at the bead curtain dangling in the air, retracted her gaze and looked at Liuli: "The third grandmother is probably happy." If she gives birth to a son in this womb and divides the family in the future, I am afraid that the right to give money in this long house may fall into her hands. ”
Liuli said: "On the eldest and younger, she is young, and the status of her mother's family Xie is also half a level higher than her Ruan family, Xie and Tingyu respect each other like guests, and the relationship is excellent, it is not impossible to have a male heir in the future, even if there is no, you can also let life in the room, how can the aunt conclude that the right to give money will fall into the hands of the Ruan family?" ”
Aunt Su looked at the ground, her tone was gentle, but the volume was slightly lower than before, "A few days ago, I was in the main courtyard, and I heard the old lady talking to the eldest master, saying that the Xie family had a lot of dealings with King Qing, the prince and King Qing were rivals, and Xie Fu's father Xie Fu was the secretary of the Ministry of Works. Now that the general's mansion is about to be completed, someone suddenly sued Xie Fu, saying that he had embezzled the silver taels of the mansion, and now the saint is working on someone to handle this case. ”
Liuli was slightly shocked, Xie Fu had an affair with King Qing, didn't Hu Jin say this back then? Could it be that the Xie family was really involved in the battle between the crown prince and King Qing? If this is really the case, unless Xie Fu has become an indispensable right and left hand by King Qing's side, it will be too difficult for him to get out of danger safely this time. This is a war between princes, and no one will easily take this risk to intervene.
She asked Aunt Su, "Did they think of any way to do it, old lady?" ”
Aunt Su sighed: "It's just not, I will estimate it like this." When did the people of the He family not put their own interests first? Besides, a yamen like the Ministry of Industry has always had little weight in the court fight, and at this time, King Qing has not come forward to protect him, so they naturally won't. In fact, in comparison, the Xie family is not as difficult as the Ruan family, and there are still certain benefits to keeping her. ”
She said this, bowed her head and took a sip of white water.
Liuli was silent for a moment, and also lowered her head to drink tea.
The Xie family also has a place in the court, and if King Qing is a smart person, whether it is to win people's hearts or preserve his strength, he should keep Xie Fu. He hasn't made a move now, and he doesn't necessarily stand by and watch, even if he doesn't come forward to avoid suspicion on the surface, he will definitely have some plans in secret. It's not their turn to worry about these women. However, Aunt Su's saying may be reasonable, the Xie family is not as difficult as the Ruan family, because usually the person who is really proud in her heart, she is always not so cheeky to compete with others.
The two of them had just finished talking, and Wu Yinzhong had already come with a medicine box.
When Linlang moved her seat, Liuli said, "Where is the third grandmother uncomfortable?" ”
Wu Yinzhong said with a smile: "Congratulations to the ninth girl, you are going to be an aunt again!" ”
Liuli shook the fan and pulled the corners of her mouth, and glanced at Aunt Su.
After staying for lunch, Liuli took the headache medicine back to the room and handed it to Rui'er to send to Yu An.
It is estimated that when the letter arrived in Uncle Xu's hand, it was also Liuli's birthday. The girls in the last day all gave birthday gifts, and the next day still went to school in Wutong Courtyard, and only had dinner in Yishou Garden in the evening. Liuli was wondering if Guo Yao would be interested in participating, but Ren Ran stopped her before class: "Nine girls go to the study, Mr. has something to explain." ”
Liuli hurriedly went up to the study, only to see Guo Yao with his back to the door and doing something in front of the bookcase. Liuli called out to Mr., and she turned around after a while, and said with a very shallow smile: "Your birthday today?" Liuli hurriedly bent down: "Mr. Lao, remember, it's today." Yi Shou Yuan prepared wine and food tonight, and a few good sisters gathered, I don't know if Mr. is willing to appreciate it? ”
Guo Yao said: "If I go, you will never be able to enjoy yourself, so just stop." I've got a little gift for you to play with. ”
As she spoke, she leaned over, picked up a small satin box with countless flowers printed with thousands of characters from the bookcase, and handed it to her with both hands.
