360. Resignation
But when I woke up in the middle of the night, I didn't see Chun'er in my room, I thought she was going to rest, so I didn't think much about it, just got up from the bed by myself, and then went down to the table to put on my shoes and pour water for myself, but the water just poured half a cup, I still had something wrong, so I directly put down the water cup in my hand and pushed the door open, and walked outside, at this time the yard was extremely quiet, basically no one was keeping vigil, only a few oil lamps under the tree were glowing faintly, I walked along Chun'er's room, and when I arrived at her door, There was no light inside, so I raised my hand and knocked on the door twice, but there was no response.
I pushed the door open and walked inside, there was a quilt on Chun'er's bed, the quilt was open, but there was no one on the bed.
I stood there and watched for a long time, almost ten minutes, but Chun'er still didn't come back, and I was basically sure that she should have been out for a long time.
I didn't linger any longer, but retreated from her room and went back to my room.
By the next morning, Chun'er had come to my room at eight o'clock in the morning with water, as usual, and I had just sat up from bed.
Chun'er saw me rubbing my neck there, so she handed me the mouthwash and asked, "Miss didn't sleep well last night?" ”
I took it from her hand, and then rinsed my mouth there, and after rinsing, I said to Chun'er, "I was a little bit of a bed last night, so it wasn't very comfortable." ”
Chun'er took the cup from my hand and said, "Fortunately, we are going back to Mu's house today, and you won't recognize the bed when you get there." ”
I looked at her energetic face, so I smiled and asked, "How did you sleep last night?" ”
Chun'er behaved very naturally, and if I hadn't gone to her room last night to confirm it, I would have been convinced of her answer, not even the slightest doubt.
She smiled and said: "The slave and maid slept well last night, and taught them to make cakes yesterday afternoon, but the slave and maid were tired, and when you fell asleep, the slave and maid went back to the room and lay down on the bed and fell asleep, and when they opened their eyes again, it was seven." ”
I smiled and said, "Looks like you slept better than I did." ”
Chun'er fished the face towel out of the warm water for me again, and then handed it to me, I wiped it twice, and didn't mention that she was no longer in the room last night.
After wiping his face, he went to the next hall for breakfast.
Chun'er Xiaoyuer and they wanted to read in the morning, so they went to the study early in the morning, and from time to time there were a few recitations of texts from the study, mixed with a few bird calls from the trees.
Then, when the Mu family came to pick up my car, it stopped at the gate, and a driver got out of the car and walked straight to the hall. ”
Chun'er knew that he was here to pick me up, so she said to the driver, "Miss is still having breakfast, you can wait first." ”
The driver lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”
Then he quickly withdrew from the hall and went outside to wait.
After I finished breakfast, I waited for Xiao Yu'er Chun'er to finish their morning reading, and told Xiao Yu'er to take care of his younger brother before leaving here.
When I arrived at the living room, there were indeed guests in the hall, the person sitting on the sofa was Shi Xinlan, and the person who accompanied me was Wang Zhizhi, when I walked in from outside, Shi Xinlan saw me, and put down the teacup in his hand and called with a smile: "Qingye." ”
Wang Zhizhi also put down the teacup in her hand, she didn't speak, just peeled the melon seeds in her hand.
Chun'er looked at me, so I walked towards Shi Xinlan, and when I reached her, I whispered, "Mrs. Huo." ”
She smiled and said, "No need to be polite, I came here with Changfan to come to see Jingchi." ”
I smiled and said, "I just came back from elsewhere too." ”
She said: "I heard that for a while, Jing Chi was going to leave the Mu family to go to Jiang Ze to recuperate, and you want to go with you?" ”
After Wang Zhizhi heard Shi Xinlan's words, she interjected on the side and said, "That's right. ”
Shi Xinlan sighed and said, "It's really hard for you, and this family will have to rely on you alone to support it in the future." ”
Wang Zhizhi chuckled and said: "What is this, as long as Jing Chi's body improves, I am willing to do whatever he asks me to do." ”
When she mentioned this, Shi Xinlan remembered something, and asked, "Is Dr. Han still awkward with Jing Chi?" ”
Wang Zhizhi said: "After the last time I had a dispute with Jing Chi, I asked his little servant to send a resignation letter after a few days, and the two have been friends for decades, and I don't know why it has become like this, and now the family has naturally changed doctors." ”
Shi Xinlan said: "It's not easy for us to say anything about this kind of thing, but I heard that the weather in Jiangze is very good, the four seasons are like spring, and it is suitable for recuperation, but I don't know when Jingchi will return after going this time?" ”
Referring to this matter, Wang Zhizhi said with a smile: "I shouldn't be able to return for a while, and now his body is no longer suitable for dealing with business, so it's better to go there to recuperate first." ”
Shi Xinlan said: "Since he is going to recuperate, why do you want to resign, if he can't handle official affairs, naturally we will let others deal with it, if his body is well, this position hangs on him, will it be hot?" ”
When Shi Xinlan said this, she sighed again and said: "He and Changfan have known each other for so many years, everything in Jinling was established by him and Changfan himself, if he leaves, keep Changfan here ......"
Wang Zhizhi comforted her and said: "Don't worry, it's not that he won't go back, it's still unknown when he will go to Jiang Ze this time, the position on his body can't occupy a position, but he doesn't perform his duties, even if you don't mind, it doesn't mean that people outside don't mind, we all know what kind of person Jing Chi is, and I'm most afraid of others gossiping,"
When Shi Xinlan saw her say this, she didn't speak again.
Wang Zhizhi said: "Okay, this is Jing Chi's idea, you just let him be, I used to be like you, but now I am relaxed, as long as he is in good health, it is good for everyone." ”
Shi Xinlan could only nod.
Just as the two were talking, Shi Xinlan saw that I was still standing beside her, and when she reacted, she turned her head to look at me and said, "I talked to Zhizhi just now, but I forgot about you for a while, I don't need to accompany me here, Qingye, since you just came back, go upstairs to rest." ”
I nodded and said, "Okay." He smiled at Shi Xinlan, and was blessed, so he didn't stop here, but walked upstairs.
Obviously, Shi Xinlan also heard Mu Jingchi's decision, so she just came here today, Mu Jingchi lost the Mu family to Wang Zhizhi, presumably Wang Zhizhi was satisfied, and Shi Xinlan and they naturally would not be so afraid that Mu Jingchi would leave as before.
The Mu family gave Wang Zhizhi, maybe Mu Jingchi's approach is a kind of satisfaction for everyone.
I don't know why, I actually want to laugh, what Mu Jingchi has gained in his life will finally be thrown out by him in such a way, and sure enough, at this time, money has long been not the most important thing for him.
Throwing off everything in his hand in such a way, and leaving in such a hurry, he must have been unwilling in his heart.
I sneered inwardly.
After arriving upstairs, I glanced sideways at the location of Mu Jingchi's study, and found that there were a few soldiers and two or three maids standing outside the door.
Almost two hours passed, there was movement from the study, it was about Huo Changfan who came out of Mu Jingchi's study, there was a sound of footsteps passing in front of our room, Chun'er walked over quickly, and peeked at the door.
When the footsteps went farther and farther, Chun'er came back to me and said, "The person who came out is Mr. Huo." ”
I put down the teacup in my hand, and then said to Chun'er, "You go and call Ju'er." ”
Chun'er immediately said yes, and immediately pulled the door and went out, and it didn't take long for Chun'er to call Ju'er over, and I asked Ju'er if she had served in the study just now.
Ju'er immediately replied to me, "Miss, the slave maid was serving tea in there just now." ”
When I heard this, I asked, "But about the resignation?" ”
Ju'er hesitated for a few seconds and said: "Yes, Mr. Huo didn't agree at first, but then when Mr. insisted on doing so, he agreed, Mr. has already written all the documents and sent them to the presidential palace, almost waiting for President Huo's approval, and in another week, he will be officially removed from his position." ”
Chun'er didn't expect that she would really approve Mu Jingchi's resignation, she said: "Mr. Huo personally agreed? ”
Ju'er nodded and said, "Yes, it was Mr. Huo who personally agreed." ”
Chun'er glanced at me, and I said to Ju'er, "Okay, I know, you can go down." ”
When Ju'er heard my words, she said yes, and she slowly stepped back from me.
I am not surprised that Huo Changfan will agree, now Mu Jingchi has thrown the entire Mu family to Wang Zhizhi, without taking away a cloud, which is more beneficial to them, and Mu Jingchi, who has taken off his body, will go wherever he wants, and it will no longer be their focus from now on.
After all, replacing Mu Jingchi with a Wang Zhizhi is really undesirable for them, they can't wait to send him away, where will they leave him dead in Jinling.
Mu Jingchi's move made him easy and thorough.
Chun'er saw me sitting there in a daze, so she said again: "Mr. is true this time, it seems that this Jiang Ze and Miss will definitely go." ”
I didn't respond to her words.
After Huo Changfan and Wang Zhizhi left, the next day, the news of Mu Jingchi's resignation spread throughout Jinling, and those reporters rushed to hear the news and came to ask whether this matter was true or false when they arrived at the mountain.
Steward Sun also came to my room on a special basis and told me not to go out of the hall and to the garden outside, saying that I had just gotten out of that incident, and that public opinion was calming down a lot, and it was not appropriate to go out and show up again, causing a storm again.
Naturally, I am clear, and I only agree to Steward Sun's advice.
In those days, Wang Zhizhi was very busy, busy inside and out, and was always led in and out by Assistant Yu, probably taking her to familiarize herself with the various businesses of the Mu family, and rarely saw her.
Her busyness brought out my idleness, because the reporters persistently blocked outside the iron gate, I could not even go to the garden, and every day I sat either in the room or in the living room, looking at the position of the reporters blocking the door.
Chun'er saw me sitting there looking out bored, so she thought of a way to make me happy, and asked me if I wanted to call a few maids over and accompany me to the chess and card room to play cards.
I wasn't interested in her words at all, I just shook the fan in my hand and looked out in a daze, my eyes fell on the reporters outside the gate and thought, with such a big sun, they are not hot at all, but I, sitting inside, with ice cubes next to me, feel that the air is hot.
Now is the time when the sun is at its strongest, and the sound of cicadas outside is annoying, and Chun'er saw that I didn't answer her, so she could only fan me with a fan on the side.
At this time, Sister-in-law Gui came out of the kitchen, she was holding the chilled sour plum soup in her hand, but she had just put it in my hand, and there were a few coughs from Mu Jingchi upstairs.
When Sister-in-law Gui heard this, she immediately stopped her movements, and then looked upstairs, and she looked at it for a long time before she said to me: "You have not entered Mr.'s room since you came back from there, and I heard that Mr.'s body has not improved until now." She sighed and said, "Since that day, I haven't seen my husband come downstairs, and I don't know if this doctor is good now, do you want to ...... it."
She tried to look at me, and though she didn't make it clear, I knew what she meant.
Chun'er's hand to fan me naturally stopped, and she looked at me.
I casually picked up the bowl of sour plum soup that Sister-in-law Gui put down and said, "I'm not a doctor, what's the use of me in the past." I scooped a spoonful with a spoon and tasted it, and it took a long time before I added, "No." ”
Sister-in-law Gui listened to my reply so resolutely, she sighed, and could only hold the tray and say, "You, you are still that stubborn." ”
Sister-in-law Gui shook her head helplessly, and then went into the kitchen again.
After Sister-in-law Gui left, Chun'er said again: "Miss, why don't you really go in and take a look?" ”
I said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Chun'er said, "Go and visit." When she said this, she suddenly remembered something and said: "Now Madame is really busy, but she really has the style of the master of the Mu family, compared with Madame, we are idle and panicked." ”
Regarding Chun'er's words, I smiled and didn't speak, and it took me a long time before I said: "You're still afraid that she won't be busy, but I'm just right, so as not to look up and see you under this roof." ”
Chun'er said: "You think about it, the slave is worried about death, what do you say you can do in the future, why don't you go to Mr.'s room again, talk about it again, let Mr. take back that decision, and give the Mu family to Young Master Xiaoyuer again?" ”
When she said this, I looked up at her, and she saw that I seemed to be a little interested, so she hurriedly said, "It is better for you to have something to rely on than to be bullied by your wife in the future." She sighed and said, "You shouldn't have asked Mr. to send Young Master Xiaoyu'er away in the first place." ”
I put the spoon in the bowl and felt that the sour plum soup was a little too sweet and greasy, but it was a little less sour, so I didn't plan to taste it again, but wiped the corners of my mouth with a silk handkerchief and said, "You think more for me." ”
Chun'er said: "The slave maid is anxious and worried about your future every day and night, and so is Sister-in-law Gui, maybe you should really listen to the slave maid's suggestion, go and give Mr. a soft face, and bring the young master Xiaoyu'er back again." ”
I chuckled and said, "How can it be so simple, the overall situation has already been decided, and I guess it's too late for me to regret everything." ”
When Chun'er saw me say this, she hurriedly stopped the fan in her hand, and she hurriedly said, "It's not too late, miss, you haven't tried it, how do you know it's late?" ”
Chun'er was very anxious about this matter, and she said: "You listen to the slave's advice, there is absolutely nothing wrong." ”
I glanced at her, but didn't say anything more, and took a piece of ice from the plate and put it in my mouth to cool it down.
After that, Mu Jingchi's coughing sound still came from upstairs from time to time, and there was a sound of cars outside the gate at this time, and a car drove in from outside the big iron gate, and the guards stopped the reporters who tried to break in.
After the car stopped at the door of the hall, Xiao Xiu'er also hurriedly came down from the upper floor, and when she walked to the center of the hall, the person who got out of the car outside was the doctor hired by Mu Jingchi.
I don't know what the situation is above, Xiao Xiu'er didn't even have time to greet me, she walked directly past me, walked towards the gate, and after rushing to the doctor's side, she said in a slightly anxious tone: "Doctor Qiu, fortunately, you are here, Mr. is coughing again, you go up and take a look." ”
Dr. Qiu asked with a solemn face, "Can you cough up blood?" ”
Xiao Xiu'er said: "From time to time, there will be some. ”
The doctor listened, and muttered silently.
