Seven days later, in Luodong Mansion, in the lower room of the north courtyard.

Originally, noon and the next hour were the most sleepy times for everyone, and they were not interested in doing anything, and yawned for days, but today it was obviously a big holiday to rest, but they didn't go back to their respective rooms to make up for sleep, but one by one like a chicken, ten people and eight people made a bunch, and you and I discussed the various explosive news in the past few days.

First, the current affairs news that is most closely related to their lives - the kitchen manager Wang Qijia and her underground gambling house have fallen! In addition to some of the subordinates who have invested in and operated gambling houses, this "gambling case" involves a small scope, but it has made many people who have used public meals to pay off their debts, so that they have been tired for their stomachs for several months to eat delicious public middle school meals again, which has attracted countless Luofu subordinates to give a thumbs up, and directly praise Mama Tang's resolute and resolute means are not reduced back then!

Second, the most confusing and divergent news of the family change - the big young master's room has changed! It is said that with the consent of the old lady, the eldest young master took Wei Ge'er and Sister Yan to move into the Qilu Garden, and the young grandmother's Liulitang only left four dowry maids, and the rest of the people were all stationed in its recording garden, and the eldest and young grandmother was grounded in Liulitang! It is said that the old lady hired Guangxia Weaving, the "No. 1 matchmaker in Yangzhou", and planned to give the eldest young master a concubine!

Three, the most reverie and imaginative peach-colored news - the second miss fell into the water again! It is said that the second lady went to listen to the perfume pavilion and enjoy the flowers, but somehow did not bring her female guard, and fell into the water, although the deepest part of the water in the water pavilion pond is not more than the chest, but the second lady was still agitated by the cold water, and then fainted! It is said that Peng Shi, the eldest young master of the Peng family, happened to pass by, and not only saved the second lady, but also carried her all the way into the embroidery pavilion of the Water Pavilion for treatment!

Fourth, the most incredible, suspected old lady's "convulsions" of the day-changing news - the day after the fourth lady went out to play, the old lady painted a huge peach courtyard and gave it to the third lady who was resurrected from the corpse in the Taoist temple to live? He also put Brother Zhu'er, who was dying and unconscious for days, into Taoyao Hospital, saying that it was the most down-to-earth and suitable for recuperation? The second wife sent Ding Rong's family to Taoyao Courtyard to ask for the crime, but Pan Jingyang stopped at the door, and didn't even enter the courtyard gate?

Fifth, the king-size anecdote that can best confirm the old lady's "real convulsions" - the old lady...... Rejuvenation? Everyone who saw the old lady said so, the wrinkles on the face became less, the white hair on the head turned black, not to mention, the spirit of the whole person was different, when the sky was bright yesterday, the old shoehorn who cleaned the Fushou Garden looked up and saw that the old lady who used to advocate motionless is not as quiet as ...... Doing tai chi in the garden? He was so shocked that he almost threw the broom in his hand on the spot! Anyway, in the past few days, everyone has praised the old lady for her good looks, and she is so happy that she can't close her mouth.

At this moment, in the Fushou Garden, Mama Tang smiled and showed her two front teeth, and asked Dengcao: "I heard that the old lady ate two full bowls of rice at noon today?" ”

Dengcao smiled back: "Yes, if it weren't for Miss Ji who couldn't help but persuade her, 'Seven points full, every day is good', the old lady still wants to eat the third bowl, and almost every dish on the table has moved two chopsticks, not picky at all!" After dinner, I walked around the garden twice before going to take a nap, which is a rare thing that has not been encountered in ten years! ”

"The old lady should wake up now, right?" Mama Tang listened attentively to the movement in the house, "I have an urgent matter to ask the old lady." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a neutral voice immediately came from the room: "Hongjiang, are you here?" Come on in! ”

Mama Tang first withdrew the lamp grass, and then pushed the door in, and saw the old lady sitting in front of the dressing table fiddling with a large box of jade beads with holes, although these are already high-grade jadeite with green color, but in the eyes of the old lady, it is subdivided into three grades again. Looking at the old lady's red face and full of interest, Mama Tang said from the bottom of her heart: "Miss, how many years have you not liked to fiddle with these flowers and pearls, and now that you have eaten a jujube, you look ten years younger, and your mentality is more than ten years younger!" ”

"In the past few days, I feel that my body is much more refreshed, and I naturally have the energy to tinker with a little bit of these gadgets, hehe, that jujube is really a good thing," the old lady smiled, "By the way, Hongjiang, did you go to Taoyao Courtyard to visit Brother Zhu today?" Did he wake up? ”

Mama Tang shook her head and said: "When I went to give the third lady silver earlier, I went to the side hall to see Brother Zhu once, tsk, it's really pitiful, I was poisoned by my mother, and I haven't woken up yet!" Now that everything is going well, this is all that is needed. ”

The old lady stopped playing with the jade beads, and asked, "Haven't woken up yet?" Has he ever eaten dates? Dates don't work either? ”

Mama Tang leaned closer and explained in a low voice: "The third lady said yesterday that although the jujube can cure all diseases, it may not be able to cure all kinds of poisons, and she asked me, 'Since you know that it may not work, do you want to give it to Brother Zhu'er?'" I hesitated, and finally took back the date that had been sent to me and put it back in the jar of our secret room...... Old lady, the old slave secretly thinks that this date can't be used on Zhu Ge'er's body! ”

“…… Why? The old lady's voice was discernible as she agreed or disagreed, and her men began to fiddle with the jade beads again, making a rattling noise.

Mama Tang took a step closer, and said the words that she had been thinking about all night: "This jujube is a rare treasure in the world, and it is also the heirloom treasure of our entire Luo family. There is an eighty-year-old lady in the Luo family, who supports the glory of our entire family, and no one in the Luo family can lack him, one of them; Luodong Mansion is supporting you again, as long as you are well, the whole family will naturally be well, and this is the second; The second young master and brother of the third room are your only grandsons, except for the eldest young master from the big house, he is the most expensive single seedling in Luodong Mansion, and this is the third. In addition, there are many places where this jujube can be used, no matter which place it is used, it is more useful than using it on Zhu Ge'er! ”

Seeing that the old lady had divided a few jade beads into the three small brocade boxes, but kept her head silent, Mama Tang called her hesitantly: "Miss, are you listening?" The old lady bowed her head and said, "You go on." ”

"Miss wow, this can't blame us for being ruthless, after all, you have already sent a message to Brother Zhu to send dates, and the old slave also sent one," Mama Tang took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her face, "But the third miss said it herself, even if 'Kaiguang' is eaten by Brother Zhu, it may not be able to save him, it can be seen that this is all providence......"

The old lady sighed and said, "Alas, such a pair of twins, do you really want to be alone?" Could it be that Brother Zhu'er is really hopeless? ”

Mama Tang listened to the old lady's tone and was smooth and smooth, and understood that she had acquiesced to the fact that she had taken it upon herself to detain the jujube, so Mama Tang breathed a sigh of relief and replied truthfully: "Dr. Wu goes to see Brother Zhu every day, according to him, since Brother Zhu was admitted to Taoyao Hospital, the symptoms of poisoning have improved a lot, probably because the local qi there can support people...... It's just that for some reason, he tried all kinds of methods to make Zhu Ge'er wake up, and finally came and went, and he couldn't explain why, only said that Zhu Ge'er was not in danger of life at present. In addition to our old lady, Dr. Wu's medical skills are unique in Yangzhou, if he can't cure Brother Zhu'er, no one can cure Brother Zhu'er. ”

"Hongjiang, I originally asked Sister Yi to give 'Kaiguang' a date, but in order to facilitate the feeding of dates nearby, we put Brother Zhu in Taoyao Courtyard," the old lady looked up and asked, "Now Brother Zhu doesn't have to eat dates, do you want to move him out of Taoyao Courtyard?" Sister Yi is a ten-year-old child, and she has no experience in taking care of her young son? ”

Mama Tang thought for a while and suggested: "In my opinion, since Dr. Wu said that the environment of Taoyao Courtyard is suitable for Brother Zhu'er, it is better to put Brother Zhu there first, and then make an appointment with the third lady, and then take it to the eldest lady and others when he really can't do it...... Anyway, a few days ago, Brother Zhu was already dead, and the people who came to the big house again were also mentally prepared. Let's do our best to obey the fate of God, if we want to blame, we can only blame the young grandmother for being too ruthless, in order to frame the third lady, she actually fed poison to her parents and children! ”

While classifying the jade beads according to their fineness, the old lady asked slowly, "What does Sister Yi mean?" Is she willing to take in Brother Zhu'er? After all, before she ...... lived in the Taoist temple because Brother Zhu pushed her. ”

Mama Tang said with a smile: "Old lady, please rest assured, the third lady is the most temperamental and soft-hearted person, she said, although after some fainting and vomiting, she has gradually remembered the old things about being pushed down the mountain by Brother Zhu, but what is there to worry about with a three-year-old child, and now that Brother Zhu has become like this, she is also distressed when she looks at it." Anyway, listening to her, she is very willing to take care of Brother Zhu. ”

"Alas, the children in the family are the most obedient and worry-free," the old lady said with annoyance, "I thought that Sister Qiong'er was the most knowledgeable, but I didn't expect her to do such a shameful thing this time!" ”

Mama Tang snorted and comforted: "Maybe she really accidentally fell into the water...... And the second lady is a twelve-year-old girl, even if she lets her cousin hug her, there is no big problem...... It's really not good, the Peng family's family background is worthy of our family, I heard that the young master Peng Shi is very handsome, no wonder the second miss ...... him"

"No, no, this matter won't work, the second daughter-in-law has been wholeheartedly letting Sister Qiong go to the draft girl in the past two years, how can a Peng family get into her eyes!" The old lady shook her head, "Forget it, don't talk about it, children have their own children's blessings, let them toss slowly." By the way, Hongjiang, did you send all those silver tickets to Sister Yi'er? And the hairpin pattern I asked you to choose for her, has she chosen it all? ”

Mama Tang nodded and said: "In addition to the four hundred taels of silver that I found from Wang Qi's family, there are also one thousand taels of silver allocated from the account of the dry goods shop under your name according to your meaning, which can be regarded as a reward for the third lady's meritorious dedication, a total of 1,400 taels of silver, and I sent it to the third miss this morning." Then I showed her a bunch of patterns, but she said that she didn't like to wear those gold and silver jewelry, not only was it cumbersome to wear, but she couldn't wear the noble temperament of the second lady. I told her that the three sets of gold and silver heads were promised by the old lady, and she deserved them, and even if she couldn't wear them now, she would have to have some decent jewelry and makeup when she got married in the future. But the third lady still refused to choose the trick, I saw that she was not enthusiastic about it, and thought that it would be too late to wait for her to grow up and then make some dowry, so I made my own decisions, and gave her three hundred taels of silver, so a total of one thousand seven hundred taels of silver. ”

"Well, Sister Yi is a good boy, these are all things she deserves," the old lady suddenly remembered something, raised her eyes and asked, "I heard you say to Dengcao in the house just now, 'There is an urgent matter', what is the matter?" ”

Mama Tang patted her head and said, "Ah, I forgot about the business while talking, the eldest master came over before noon, and said that he had already obtained two places with Vice Dean Wei to enter Chengxu Academy without examination, and the school will start on the first day of October, and now I have to fill out two registration books." The eldest lord said that Sister Qiong'er had already filled in and handed it to him, and asked Sister Shao'er when she would come to fill in - how do we answer him, do you want to explain to him the real whereabouts of the fourth lady? ”

The old lady began to play with the jade beads again, and Mama Tang waited for half a pillar of incense before she heard the old lady say, "This quota ...... Give it to Sister Yi, well, she can't write, so let her uncle fill out the registration book for her. ”

Mama Tang's eyes widened: "To the third lady?" Do you want Miss 3 to go to Chengxu Academy? These two places are not easy to come by, what about the fourth lady? ”

"Alas, what are you anxious about? Anyway, it's empty now, and when Sister Shao'er comes back next year, I'll go to Vice Dean Wei to ask for an entrance without examination," the old lady explained, "I thought, Sister Yi'er's background is not good, and it will be difficult to marry into a good family as a wife in the future, so it's better to choose a match from the Peng family's brother Shi and Brother Gradual, even if she can't get a wife, she can get a flat wife with the kinship of the two families." Needless to say, the benefits of being a kiss are not to be said, in the future, Tuo Peng Haoguang will find an official position for his ex-brother, and we can also open our mouths, which can be regarded as more than one stone. ”

Mama Tang couldn't help but be convinced: "Old lady, you are really thoughtful, such an arrangement, I believe that the third lady and the eldest young master will be happy!" ”

"Yes, Brother Shi and Brother Ji are also good children, I arranged for the three of them to live in the adjacent courtyard, and sent them to the same academy to study, hoping that Sister Yi can open up and find a husband from the two brothers. Although the three of them are young, the sooner they decide on their relatives, the sooner they can find a job for their ex-brother. At this time, the old lady had already divided the upper, middle and lower grades of jade beads, and after a little hesitation, she handed the best box of high-grade jadeite to Mama Tang and said, "You go and take this to Sister Yi, and tell her that since she doesn't like gold and silver jewelry, let her wear a few strings of beads and play with them; Tell her again, let her prepare, and go to Chengxu Academy with Sister Qiong in four days! ”
