Chapter XVI Counting
Han revealed Songhetang, called a little girl in the corner to carry the lamp, and the two walked quickly to the big kitchen.
The big kitchen had just extinguished the fire of boiling medicine, and Hanlu poured the medicine into the sweet white porcelain cup while it was hot, and walked quickly back to Songhetang. When he arrived at the courtyard gate of Songhe Hall, Han Lu touched the medicine cup with one free hand, it was still hot, and his heart was just about to be put down, when he suddenly heard a low shout "Han Lu" in his ears.
Hanlu stopped, a cold sweat broke out on her back, her hand holding the medicine trembled, the tray in her hand was crooked, and the lid of the medicine cup almost left the medicine cup, making a bumping sound. The little girl hurriedly stretched out her hand to help and asked Hanlu, "Sister Hanlu, what's wrong with you, the medicine cup is about to be spilled!" ”
Hanlu could still hear what the little girl said, turned her head to look behind her in fright, the little girl saw it, and turned to look, there was only a thick night, the branches and branches of the trees were shaking in the light, and she looked like a beautiful woman dancing lightly, but at this moment it was reflected in Hanlu's eyes, but it was like a ghost asking for her life.
At this time, a light breeze blew past the two of them, and there seemed to be green smoke hidden in the wind. Han Lu came back to her senses and asked the little girl, "Did you hear someone calling me just now?" ”
The little girl raised her head and wanted to speak, but she was frightened by Han Lu's frightened look and took a step back, patted her chest, and said, "No, Sister Han Lu, it's just the two of us here, no one else, did you hear it wrong?" Okay, let's send the medicine in, you see Sister Mingqin is waiting at the door of the wing! ”
Hanlu was dragged by the little girl, entered the courtyard, and went to the main wing where everyone was. Looking at the lights in the courtyard and the Ming Qin waiting at the door, Han Lu's face was a little calmer, but there was a fire in his heart, and he couldn't hear the "Han Lu" just now, it was clearly the autumn leaves that had been disposed of by his wife! Akiba is back looking for me!
When they arrived at the door of the wing, Mingqin asked why the two were grinding outside the courtyard gate, Hanlu found an excuse to cover up the past, Mingqin didn't care, let the little girl retreat, and opened the curtain to let Hanlu enter the house.
Everyone in the house kept staring at the door, and when they saw Han Lu coming in, they hurriedly looked at the medicine in Han Lu's hand, but they didn't notice that there was a cry outside the courtyard, and they didn't notice that after Lieyun and Cuizhu heard the cry, their eyes were relieved.
Han Lu entered the house and was about to hand over the medicine to Cheng Jinsi, but saw that Cui Jing had already stretched out his hand, "Give me the medicine." ”
Cheng Jinsi glanced at Han Lu and saw that Han Lu nodded slightly, although he was annoyed that Cui Jing didn't believe himself for Lie Yun at this time, he still told Han Lu to take the medicine to Cui Jing. At this time, Cheng Jinsi's eyes were gone, and Fang Cai's admiration for Cui Jing was gone, but there was a strange joy.
Affirming that this medicine is hot, Cheng Jinsi waited to see Cui Jing's face change color, and waited to see Cui Jing slap his face.
Cui Jing's face did change, but it was not the look of shame that Cheng Jinsi was looking forward to, but Tie Qing who suppressed his anger. Cui Jing didn't glance at Cheng Jinsi, nor did he say a word, only handed the Chinese medicine cup to Mrs. Cui.
Old Lady Cui took the medicine cup, stayed in her hand for a moment, a look of disappointment welled up on her face, looked at Lie Yun with pity, and handed the medicine cup to Old Lady Cui.
Old lady Cui directly slammed the medicine cup on the small table next to the couch and snorted coldly.
Cheng Jinsi suddenly panicked and looked at Han Lu, and Han Lu also lost the certainty on his face.
Cui Jing got up, picked up the medicine cup and walked to Cheng Jinsi step by step, "See for yourself!" ”
Cheng Jinsi suddenly felt a chill welling up all over his body, Cui Jing spoke to himself, always softly, Cui Jing's voice had never been so cold.
Reaching out to take the medicine cup in Cui Jing's hand, Cheng Jinsi felt that the autumn rain was cold just now, and now it was winter snow and cold! This medicine cup is really cold, needless to say, the medicine in the medicine cup is naturally cold! Good for you!
Cheng Jinsi's eyes were like needles piercing Han Lu, and Han Lu also understood at this time that there was really something wrong with this medicine!
Fang was frightened, and at this time, he was suspected by the master, the strings in Hanlu's mind were about to break, and he actually snatched the medicine cup from Cheng Jinsi's hand!
"Cold? How can it be cold! Han Lu looked at everyone, and then looked at Cheng Jinsi's eyes that wanted to breathe fire, and knelt down, "Madam, Mrs. Angry, old lady, old lady, old lady, old lady, I checked this medicine before entering the courtyard gate, it was still hot at the time, it was impossible to get cold in a few steps from the courtyard gate to the main wing!" Certainly, something must have gone wrong, yes, someone must be harming me, no, someone is trying to harm Madame! ”
With a "bang", a blue and white porcelain tea bowl shattered at Hanlu's feet, interrupting Hanlu's mouth, the tea soaked the skirt, and the tea foam was stained with embroidered shoes.
Hanlu looked up, and Cui Jing was glaring at him, looking at him. "Okay, you said that someone used this medicine to wronged you and hurt you, and even more so to harm your wife, then tell me, who is it? And how did you use this bowl of soup and medicine to do harmful things? “
Only then did Han Lu remember what he had said, and remembered what happened outside the courtyard gate, Han Lu was about to open his mouth and looked at Cheng Jinsi, but he didn't know what to think of, and his face turned pale for a moment.
Countless thoughts flashed through Hanlu's mind, but it was only a moment, he had already made up his mind, and when he opened his mouth again, he had already taken all the blame, "It's all the slave's fault, no one wants to harm the slave and maid, let alone anyone wants to harm the lady." Saying that, Han Lu turned to Cheng Jinsi, "Madam, the slave and maid can't stand you, you worry about the county lord day and night, but in the end you are burdened by the slave and maid, ruining your love for the county lord." Knocking his head at Cheng Jinsi, Han Lu turned to Lie Yun again, "The county lord's daughter's body, but because of the slave's mistake, the county lord's body was damaged, and the slave and maid are to blame for their death." Ask the county lord to punish him, whether it is life or death, the slaves and maids are willing to bear it. After saying that, Hanlu knelt on the ground facing the fierce clouds and didn't get up again.
Lieyun and Cui Jing are the two kindest masters of Cui Mansion, seeing that Cui Jing has been annoyed tonight, even Cheng Jinsi was taken aback, and Han Lu had no choice but to bet on Lieyun. The last time Autumn Leaves were disposed of because he had committed a taboo with his wife, and afterwards Lieyun knew about it and blamed himself, which shows that his heart is simple. Hanlu hoped that Lieyun would look at his wife's face, for the sake of his own decoction for a year, and that even one word could be said for himself.
Lie Yun laughed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. It's smart, but it's only a few points. Don't worry, Hanlu, you won't be disposed of like autumn leaves, at least not now, and finally found out that your card is still a good card, how can you use it once and abandon it.
Therefore, with the tacit consent of Old Lady Cui and Old Lady Cui, when Cui Jing opened his mouth to sell Hanlu like autumn leaves, and Cheng Jinsi could not intercede and could only echo it, Lieyun said loudly, "Please Grandpa Cui, Grandmother Cui, aunt and aunt to calm their anger, although Hanlu was negligent, but in Yun'er's opinion, the sin is not like this." In the past year, no matter the wind or rain, Hanlu has come to the Purple Courtyard with her aunt every night to deliver medicine to Yun'er, there is no merit and hard work, because of this bowl of medicine, Sister Qiuye has been punished to leave the house, if Hanlu is punished again, Yun'er is really at ease. Besides, this cold illness is also to blame Yun'er herself, if it weren't for Yun'er's willfulness, how could she cause this disaster, and also stirred up a good reunion feast! If you talk about it, Yun'er should also be punished. “
Cui Jing listened, his face showed a look of pampering and helplessness, and Cheng Jinsi only felt extremely dazzling.
Old Mrs. Cui took Lie Yun's hand, "Yun'er, don't say that, you are the same as Wan Ning Yanqi, you are my precious grandson, we are too late to feel distressed when you are sick, how can we punish you for a meal." Old Mrs. Cui pointed to Hanlu again, "But there is a family law in the family, and you can't tolerate your mistakes if your subordinates make mistakes, especially when it comes to your body, you can't be slack!" ”
Lie Yun hugged Mrs. Cui's arm, showing the delicate appearance of her little daughter at this time, "Good grandfather and good grandmother, if you really want to punish Hanlu, why don't you punish her for going to the purple courtyard every night to boil medicine for me, and then tell me jokes to relieve my boredom?" The weather is getting colder and colder, and it saves my aunt the hard work of running again every night. Saying that, Lie Yun looked at Cui Jing and Cheng Jinsi again, "Aunt and uncle, can you allow Yun'er to do this?" ”
The second elder couldn't, so he had to agree, but Mrs. Cui said again that Cheng Jinsi was not strict in governing the family, and punished him for copying Buddhist scriptures for a month to pray for Lieyun.
Cui Jing naturally didn't disagree, Lian Dao should have done so a long time ago, and fined Hanlu three months' monthly money.
Cheng Jinsi had the intention to object, but he was also punished, and he really couldn't find an excuse, so he had to smile and nod his head in agreement.
Hanlu breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
Lieyun and Cuizhu's eyes flashed with joy, but the two of them didn't expect that this time, which was only used as an excuse, would almost become a prophecy in the future.
