Aunt Qin said. Brother Zhen is dead? The fourth lady had a miscarriage? Mrs. Tai glanced at Mother Du.

Mother Du stood aside with a smile on her face, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows did not move.

Lianjiao nodded timidly, but her eyes glanced at Eleven Niang, who was hanging her eyes on the side: "Auntie, that's what you said." 、

"Looks. Aunt Qin was really confused. Mrs. Tai sighed. Let Lianjiao retreat. asked Du's mother, "Where is Brother Yu'er now?" , Yesterday at noon, Xu Siyu rushed back from Le'an, said hello to the elders of the family and went to Falling Leaves Mountain, and only came back from Falling Leaves Mountain this afternoon, Mrs. Tai called Lianjiao to ask.

Mother Du smiled: "Master Hou is talking with the second young master in the study!" Mrs. Tai nodded. said to Eleven Niang, who had been silent: "It is rare for father and son to see each other again. Looks like. I can't finish saying this for a while, and we won't wait. "Finished. Tell the little maid to set the meal.

Eleven Niang Ying. He Mrs. Tai went to the east room, ate something hastily, and led Xu Sijie back to his yard.

Along the way, Xu Sijie cautiously looked at Shi Niang's expression from time to time.

Eleven Niang asked him with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Sijie hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mother. Aren't you happy? , Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

Seeing that she was silent, Xu Sijie was even more sure that he had guessed correctly, and hurriedly said, "Mother, will you listen to me playing the flute?" I played the flute. I was so happy. You'll be happy too. , Eleven Niang was very moved, and the unhappiness just now faded a lot.

She touched Xu Sijie's cheek and smiled: "Okay! 、

Xu Sijie became happy, took Eleven Niang's hand and ran forward: "Then let's go home quickly!" , so frightened that Nan Yong's daughter-in-law hurriedly stopped him: "Fifth young master, be careful, be careful, Madame is still pregnant!"

Xu Sijie hurriedly let go of Eleven Niang's hand and asked nervously: , Mother, mother, am I with you?

"It's fine!" Since getting up that morning and vomiting inexplicably, Eleven Niang can eat and sleep, although her movements are not as flexible as before, but she is not clumsy. Seeing that Xu Sijie was worried, she took his hand. I'm fine! ”

Xu Sijie put his mind at ease. Jumping up and down and Eleven Niang went back to the house. She played several flutes to listen to her.

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

These days are busy with Xu Sizhen's business. She hadn't listened carefully to Xu Sijie's flute for some days, but she didn't expect him to learn several new repertoire.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but feel a little weak-hearted, and held Xu Sijie in her arms: "Brother Jie'er is making progress so fast!" , Xu Sijie smiled a little proudly: Mr. also said that I am very good. Someone else learns for a month. It only took me three or four days to learn. Also, in two days he will start teaching me how to play the piano. He said.

tone of mind. "But, Sheng said. This thing. I have to get my father's permission.

"Is it about learning to play the piano?" Shi Niang was a little puzzled, when Xu Sizhen and Xu Sijie followed him to learn the flute, they were not so solemn.

"Hmm!" Xu Si admonished, "Mr. asked me if I would like to learn to play the piano from him as a teacher." I said yes. He was delighted. Touched my head. Say. Wait until he has discussed it with his father.

Is it the kind of formal apprenticeship that pays attention to inheritance?

Eleven Niang was a little curious.

This Mr. Zhao. It seems to be not only erudite, but also versatile.

While he was talking, Xu Lingyi came back.

His face was a little solemn. Seeing Xu Sijie talking in Eleven Niang, his expression eased a lot. Seeing Xu Sijie holding a flute in his hand, he thought that he had just practiced a flute, and told him a few words like "Don't blow so late in the future", and then asked Nan Yong's daughter-in-law to take him down to rest.

After Xu Lingyi was freshened up, the couple leaned on the head of the bed and talked.

"Did Master Hou go to say hello to his mother?"

"Go!"

Other words. He already knew Aunt Qin's situation. Then there are some things that need not be argued.

Eleven Niang muttered: "What did Brother Yu'er say? ”

Xu Lingyi was silent for a moment. He said in a low voice: "He asked me straight to the point, did the Qin clan use witch Gu to curse Brother Chen!" ”

This kid used to be very smart, but now he is very sharp.

"That. What did Master Hou say?

"Since he guessed it, I didn't hide it from him." Xu Lingyi said." He sat silently for a moment with his head down. Then ask me. What is said about this to the outside world. When I saw that he was clear-headed, I picked something important and told him. When he heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed to me three times. Please let me agree with him to go to the Fallen Leaf Mountain and serve Aunt Qin to return to the mountain. He said, sighing awkwardly. Speak. Walk calmly like an adult. ”

For Xu Sizhen, who is still like a child. How could Xu Lingyi not be accountable?

Xu Siyu felt that his clothes were completely soaked.

For the first time, he took the initiative to speak to his father. Also for the first time. The father's gaze was no longer gratifying, but appreciative!

He collapsed on his back on the bed.

Wen Zhu hurriedly tiptoed on his hands and stepped forward to take off Xu Siyu's shoes. Yi saw Xu Si talk with his eyes closed. Tiredness on the face. After hesitating for a while, he gently helped Xu Siyu build a thin quilt.

Xu Siyu said suddenly: "You go and clean up, I will go to Fallen Leaf Mountain early tomorrow morning." "Again." Let Lianjiao go with me. ”

Lianjiao knows so much, her life will definitely not be guaranteed. Rather than pulling anyone in, it's better to just be her.

Wen Zhu was slightly stunned, and whispered "yes", and then said with concern: "Second young master. Have you had dinner yet? I asked the kitchen for some new wheat flour yesterday. Otherwise, I'll make you a bowl of bread to eat......"

"No need." Xu Siyu interrupted Wen Zhu's words, "I ate with my father in the outer courtyard!" ”

His voice just fell. Qin Xiang came in: "Second young master, the eldest lady is here!"

At this time?

Xu Siyu sat up in surprise. Let Qin Xiang invite Sister Zhen to sit in the hall. I was served by Wenzhu to freshen up and change clothes. Only then did I go to see Sister Zhen'er.

Not seen for months. Sister Zhen is even whiter.

"I heard that the second brother is back," Sister Zhen smiled lightly, "Take a few black tendon watermelons from Pang Gezhuang and come to the second brother to relieve the department." ”

Xu Siyu thanked him with a smile and asked Wenzhu to fetch some well water to get melon: "Don't be busy leaving, eldest sister. I borrow flowers here to offer the Buddha and invite you to eat watermelon. ”

"Okay!" Sister Zhen responded happily and asked Aunt Qin: "...... Are you okay?.

"It's fine!" In addition to this sentence, Xu Siyu didn't know how to answer well.

"That's good!" Sister Zhen smiled and nodded. Talk to Xu Siyu about Leguan"...... Have you ever seen Miss Jiang Jiajiu? She's got a little taller, right? Did you study with Mr. Jiang? Or follow the Jiang family's aunt to learn female popularity? Where do you and your classmates go to hang out? "Lots of questions.

Xu Siyi and her socialized: "When I asked Mr. Jiang for his homework. Seen it a few times. Because I didn't look closely. I don't know if I've grown taller. She didn't study with Mr. Jiang. Instead, he studied with his wife. "Speaking of which. He remembered something and smiled faintly, "Once, my wife specially called me to ask if my mother's female celebrity was very good. Also said. When she was in Yenching. I often hear people talk about mother's needles. It is known as the first in Yanjing. ”

"Yanjing first?" Sister Zhen laughed, "It's the first time I've heard of it. "I've never heard of it at all. Xu Siyu also felt a little funny. There were a few smiles in my eyes." It is also an exaggeration. My wife was a little worried. I invited the most famous embroidery lady in Le'an to tell Miss Nine at home.

Wen Zhu brought the watermelon up.

Brother and sister eat two pieces of watermelon. After telling Xu Siyu about the interesting things in Le'an, Sister Zhen saw that it was not early and got up to say goodbye.

Xu Siyu sent Sister Zhen to the door.

Sister Zhen never mentioned the purpose of coming here. It seems that it is really just to send two watermelons.

He couldn't help but wonder secretly.

Go back to the house. I saw Wen Zhuzheng and Qin Xiang packing up the cage one by one, but fortunately, they had just come back, and the contents of the cage had not been taken out yet. Just tidy it up a little.

It seems like this every time I come back. I'm not in a hurry to clean up the cage, and I always feel that I have to go back to Le'an in a few days. When the time comes, the things will have to be reboxed.

Don't know why. Xu Siyu's mood has improved a lot.

Then he was stunned.

Why do you feel like "I'm so much better again..."

Xu Siyu thought about it just now.

I always talk a lot. Sister Zhen just listened quietly most of the time.

Sister Zhen is coming. Was it just to comfort him?

How much does Sister Zhen know?

Xu Siyu stayed there.

The next day, Xu Siyu went to Fallen Leaf Mountain.

Yang's mother couldn't help but say: "It's good to have a son." There is a sick man who is sick! ”

Yang looked at the satin that could be done by embroidering two more children, and smiled faintly.

Wait until July. This embroidery can be given away!

Qiao Lianfang only nodded slightly when she heard this. She discussed with Xiu Xuan: "Or. I'll go and ask Mr. White again. Du's mother didn't know those young guys. Mr. Bai won't be unrecognizable! ”

Where do people don't know. I just don't want to worry about it!

Xiu Lu said euphemistically: "I heard that the house in Madame Goldfish Lane is about to be completed, and Manager Bai is busy. Where to air traffic control these. I think, forget it! "Then advance Qiao Lianfang." Look, should we send some congratulatory gifts? ”

"It's not a housewarming. What to give. Qiao Lianfang immediately vetoed it. She has her own Aunt Wen there to join in the fun. We'll forget it.

She said, "I was struck by it." Otherwise, let's go talk to Aunt Wen! They are literati, and they are a lot of tubes. Can't you find a suitable one! She said. I went to Aunt Wen's.

Aunt Wen was pondering about Aunt Qin.

It's been more than a month. The second young master is also back. Aunt Qin probably doesn't have a few days...

Hearing that Aunt Qiao was coming to see her, she gathered her thoughts and went to the hall.

I know the meaning of Qiao Lianfang. Aunt Wen was a little embarrassed.

If yes and a few years. What's the matter? helped Aunt Qiao do it, and it can be regarded as making a friend. But in the past two years, the Wen family hated her for not helping, and even the commercial bank she opened in Jinan Mansion was affected a lot...... But if she directly rejected Qiao Lianfang, Qiao Lianfang would definitely think that she was unwilling to help, so she had to smile and say, "I'll ask for a letter in two days!" Ok and no. In just two or three days, Aunt Qiao will come back. ”

Aunt Qiao smiled and thanked her and left.

Two days later, news came from Fallen Leaf Mountain, saying that Aunt Qin was sick and died!
