That night, the old lady didn't go to see Junguang.

As for how long the people in Beifu stayed in Shouzhong, the old lady had no intention of accusing, so she asked Zhu'er and a few other big girls to help them go into the bedroom to lie down. The next day, Cha Zhu'er stopped outside the gate of Zhongfu and told the people of all provinces that they did not need to come to ask for peace. The same was true for the next few days.

After the Cao family committed that incident, she was much more low-key, in addition to the daily life in her own mansion, the affairs of the entire mansion were managed by Zhuang Hu, and she felt that she had no face to meet people. In fact, the rest of the provinces didn't know what happened that night, only heard that the second wife and the second master had a night in Shouzhong. The old lady fainted, and Zhu'er was not allowed to mention it, so no one knew the roots.

Now, the old lady avoids everyone, but asks Yu Qi to come to Shouzhongju to dine with her every day, but unlike in the past, she talks less, and while eating, she looks at Yu Qi directly, and a thousand words are in her eyes. The old lady's eyes were full of concern and worry, how could Yu Qi not count in her heart? Because she was afraid that the old lady would be bored, Yu Qi stayed in Shouzhongju for a longer time than usual, and she accompanied the old lady; Even if she has nothing to say, sitting and talking to the girls and making some noises can give her old man a little relief. There is nothing to sit for a long day or two, and then I feel bad for a few days, so I took the female red embroidery and worked with the bamboo children, deliberately asking the old lady for advice from time to time, and slowly, the old lady was relieved.

Even for a few days, late at night, Yu Qi woke up from his dream and couldn't help but wonder, why did he come to Zhuangfu? Come in with a great grudge, and swear to take revenge! Now all actions have stopped, and they are in deep trouble, and they are still blindly currying favor and flattering the people here. Is it your own incompetence? Have no intention of fighting yourself? Are you broken by the gentle warmth here? After reflection, she blamed herself fiercely, but the next day, she went to Shouzhongju to accompany her with her good looks.

Zisu expressed deep dissatisfaction with this, and said to Yu Qi: "It's good, you are now doing your filial piety for others!" ”

Zisu did not shy away from such ridicule. Yu Qi shook his head, laughed at himself, and thought, what if he didn't do this? Do you pick up a knife and kill the people of Zhuangfu at will without asking questions? If you say that you are filial to others, who can you do for them? In the end, the old lady is her own grandmother, her mother's old mother, and if she is really filial, she will do her best for her mother. Moreover, the old lady is really good to herself, since she recognized her identity, the old lady has been extremely protective of herself, which is obvious to all! The second wife invited the nun of Xianyuan Nunnery, and the old lady was angry, didn't she also do it for herself?

Zisu also said: "In the long run, all your resentment and hatred will be consumed. I'm afraid that from now on, you will be reduced to the same as the eldest ladies here, and you will no longer be the person we used to be. ”

When Yu Qi heard Zisu say this, he replied, "No." ”

However, Yu Qi's words and actions in Shouzhongju are enough to prove that she did not associate the Zhuang Mansion with the hatred of her Zhuo Mansion, but treated the old lady of the Zhuang Mansion as a relative.

And so, about four or five days.

During this period, in addition to the North Mansion, people from the West, South, and East Mansions all came to invite Yu Qi, most of them to inquire about the old lady. Yu Qi didn't see anything, and asked Sanxi to talk back, saying that the old lady stayed in Shouzhong to accompany him. The wives were embarrassed to invite again, so they called the girls again, and after the girls came, Yu Qi hid in the house, and shirked that he was living in Shouzhong. The girls didn't dare to go to Shouzhongju, so they had to give up. At this time, Zisu was the happiest, and Kua Ku said: "This is the temper that your Zhuo Mansion should have." ”

One day at the end of February, Yu Qi had dinner in Shouzhongju, and the old lady said that she was uncomfortable again, so she let her play by herself, and asked the girls to help her back to the bedroom to rest. Yu Qi suddenly felt ridiculous in his heart, he was alone, what could he play? She watched the old lady enter the bedroom, sat down for a while, said a few words to the girls in Zhu'er, and then said goodbye and returned to the mirror.

As soon as he returned to Jinghua Xie House and sat down, the tea was not moistened, Sanxi trotted in from outside and said, "There is another person from Dongfu." ”

Yu Qi took a sip of tea, glanced at Sanxi with a cold and indifferent expression, and then put down the teacup and said, "The fourth girl is also pitiful, she is unwilling to go to Beifu." The fifth girl in Xifu and the second girl got closer, presumably she didn't want to look for it. The six girls and seven girls in Nanfu may not be able to speak if they have something to say. ”

When Zisu heard Yu Qi sigh like this, he smiled and said, "You can feel it clearly, I thought that I would live in Shouzhong every day, and you didn't know any people outside." ”

Yu Qi showed a hint of disgust.

Sanxi laughed a few times, and while listening to what Yu Qi said, he cast his eyebrows to Zisu and said, "The girl is wrong, it's not the girls who came this time." It's someone else. ”

Yu Qi said: "Who? ”

Zi Su said: "Who else can there be?" Nowadays, the people who care most about Shouzhongju are nothing more than a few wives. The old lady doesn't want to see people, and you are the one who can see the old lady, and they try their best to win you over. You haven't seen you again or again, and people haven't given up! ”

Sanxi smiled: "It's not the wives. It's a big granny! ”

Hearing that it was the eldest grandmother, Yu Qi hurriedly got up and walked out the door.

Zi Su glanced at Sanxi and said, "It's not that you are dazzled." What did she come to do? "I went with him.

Sanxi chased after him and said, "I told the eldest grandmother that the girl accompanies the old lady in Shouzhong." ”

Yu Qi stopped, turned around, showed a little annoyance, and said, "What are you lying to her about." ”

Sanxi said: "Didn't the girl tell me that no one would be seen?" ”

Yu Qi choked, sighed, and hurriedly walked outside the gate of Zhongfu.

Zisu turned around and blamed Sanxi: "Send it away, what will you say when you come back." ”

Sanxi stood with his mouth curled, very aggrieved. Zi Suyuan wanted to chase him out, but because he didn't want to see the eldest grandmother, he turned his head and pushed Sanxi again, and said, "Go and have a look, take the wind, don't let people see her go out to meet people." Others pushed and disappeared, she went alone, and fell into the eyes of others, what to do? If you don't see it well, you want them to make a long story short. ”

Sanxi quilt Su pushed out the door.

When I got to the outside of Zhongfu, I didn't see Yu Qi's figure, and I chased it to the Dongfu Trail to see it. At this moment, Yu Qi and the eldest grandmother were standing on the road talking, and the eldest grandmother's girl beeswax was waiting far away.

Sanxi trotted over, and was about to pretend to salute the eldest grandmother, when he suddenly saw Yu Qi holding the eldest grandmother's hand and said, "Let's not talk about the rest, let's go to my house and sit for a while!" At this time, no one came. Anyway. ”

Sanxi bit his lip and wanted to stop it. Yes, Zisu pushed her out, didn't she just want to stop Yu Qi from talking too intimately with the eldest grandmother? Now, Yu Qi still wants to invite the eldest grandmother back to the house, and Zisu is so angry when she sees it!

Seeing Sanxi in the middle of the road in a daze, Yu Qi pushed her away and pulled the grandmother away. Later, the beeswax smiled like honey and grabbed Sanxi and said, "Sister, let's go!" ”

Sanxi shook off his sleeves slightly, freed his hand to pull his hair, and roughly deliberately pushed away the beeswax.

When entering the central mansion, Yu Qi's eyes first probed to see if there was anyone walking, and when he saw no one, he beckoned the eldest grandmother to come in, and then walked into the mirror quickly. Sanxi and beeswax naturally followed quietly.

Entering the courtyard of the mirror flower Xie, the door is closed after the three joys stay.

At that time, Zisu hung a parrot cage under the porch, and was very surprised to see Yu Qi and the others coming back, and looked at the grandmother, but raised her eyes, and continued to tease and feed the parrot, as if she hadn't seen it.

Yu Qi regarded them as his own people, so he naturally didn't think about etiquette, so he just asked his grandmother to sit inside, and whispered to Sanxi to make tea.

Sanxi answered and went.

Then, the eldest grandmother lifted her skirt and went up the steps and followed Yu Qi into the room. When she passed by Zisu, she lowered her eyebrows slightly and gestured to Zisu.

Zisu stood lightly, and the big grandmother was air.

Yu Qi had already walked into the door, turned around and beckoned, "Come in!" ”

Seeing that the eldest grandmother suddenly bowed her head to Zisu, Yu Qi came out again, grabbed Zisu and said, "You come in too." ”

The eldest grandmother turned sideways and let Yu Qi and Zisu go in first, and then she went in. Inside, Yu Qi asked the eldest grandmother to sit on the kang and let Zisu sit on the chair.

Yu Qi smiled and said to the grandmother: "I didn't know that you came, otherwise I would have been invited." ”

The eldest grandmother also smiled: "It's me who came out of time." Make it difficult for the girl. ”

Yu Qi said: "Don't be embarrassed. I'm glad you're here. ”

Zisu smiled coldly: "Don't be embarrassed now, wait for someone to see it, and see what to say when someone sees it and has something to investigate." ”

Yu Qi "oops" looked at Zisu with a strange look, and said, "Sister, what are you talking about!" My sister-in-law is not an outsider. ”

The eldest grandmother was smiling, obviously embarrassed.

Zi Su said: "Naturally, he is not an outsider. I didn't say that grandma was an outsider. We...... I'm an outsider. ”

Yu Qi frowned and said, "Nonsense! Sister, please go and bring the box that my sister-in-law gave me a few days ago. ”

Zisu got up lazily and went. Yu Qi looked apologetic and said to the eldest grandmother again: "Sister-in-law, don't be surprised. ”

The grandmother shook her head.

Yu Qi was about to speak again, but suddenly saw the girl Beeswax standing on the side, raised her eyes slightly to look at her, and stopped talking. The eldest grandmother sensed it, and quickly turned back to Beeswax and said, "Beeswax, you go outside to play, I'll talk to Miss Qi for a while." ”

Beeswax smiled and bowed, and withdrew.

After the beeswax left, the eldest grandmother smiled and said to Yu Qi: "My girl is loyal and trustworthy. ”

Yu Qi looked even more apologetic, and said: "Naturally, I heard that my sister-in-law fell into the water that day, and she went into the water to save people regardless of her own safety." It can be seen that she is a good person. ”

The big grandmother nodded.

Yu Qi praised again: "It is your blessing to have such a person around you." ”

The eldest grandmother said politely: "The girl is also a blessed person. ”

Yu Qi said: "My blessings are all here. What would I have been without your help? On weekdays, I treat my sister-in-law as if I were my benefactor. Sister Zisu and sister-in-law are very important people to me. So, it's not good for me to meet others, but when you come, I have to invite them. ”

The eldest grandmother blushed and bowed her head and said, "More girls love you." ”

Yu Qi said: "You and I don't have to be so outside. ”

As he spoke, Zisu brought the box. Yu Qi took the box, opened it and took out the letterhead left by the grandmother before.

The eldest grandmother took it from Yu Qi's hand, looked at it for a while, then put it away, and said with a smile: "I came today, one is for our wife's care, and the other is for this matter." ”

Yu Qi replied: "I know it in my heart. The ladies all remembered the old lady and wanted to ask her how she was. But if they want to know, they don't have to ask me. There are so many people down there, there is always someone who knows. ”

The eldest grandmother smiled heartily and agreed with Yu Qi's words.

Yu Qi said again: "I don't see them and I have concerns, because the old lady is really angry with the people in Xianyuan'an." Now it seems that the old lady is very protective of me. But I don't understand, how could the old lady invite her to Shouzhongju again? Aren't the people of Xianyuanan from Beifu? ”

The eldest grandmother shook her head, her eyes full of doubts, and then said, "The girl hasn't heard what the old lady said in the past few days?" Didn't see anyone walking around in Xianyuanan? ”

Yu Qi said: "No." I've been living in Shouzhong for the past few days. The old lady didn't mention a word of Xianyuanan. ”

The eldest grandmother was about to say something, but Zisu smiled on the side: "It may be true that it is someone from Xianyuanan, but it may not be the one you know." ”

After hearing this, the eldest grandmother was a little dissatisfied, and asked Zisu, "The girl doesn't believe me?" ”

Zisu sneered and said, "Why should I believe it? I can doubt what others say without my eyes. As the old saying goes, be careful to sail a ship of ten thousand years. The more critical it is, the more careful it must be. Naturally, I was worried and suspicious for the girl. ”

The eldest grandmother's face sank and she didn't say anything.

Yu Qi said "oops", hurriedly persuaded peace, waved his hand and said, "Isn't that what you are saying?" Believe it or not. That night, the old lady had trouble with the second wife and the second master, which was undoubtedly for Xianyuan'an. ”

The eldest grandmother was surprised: "Sure enough, as rumored outside, the old lady is angry?" ”

Yu Qi nodded.

At this time, Sanxi brought the tea in. After pouring tea, each has a cup.

After that, Yu Qi sighed: "Listening to what you told me, I was worried about you at that time. If Master Chunguang of Xianyuanan saw you, she didn't recognize it? But I read from your letter that you went to the fence bamboo garden to meet you, what is going on? ”

The grandmother looked embarrassed. Zisu and Sanxi looked at her suspiciously!

That's right, on Yu Qi's birthday, didn't the eldest grandmother and the people in the fence bamboo garden rest in the Shouzhong House? Could it be that the eldest grandmother knew that the people from Xianyuanan were coming? Or did Cao Yingguan tell his grandmother in private?
