Chapter 42: No Wind and No Waves

Yu Qiyuan planned in his heart, and after all, he hated his parents in vain. Now, a few figures suddenly appeared, how not to be frightened?

On the contrary, the people who came were smiling, like a battle, victorious, and excited. Those people are Zhuang Yu and his personal boy resurrected, as well as the girl.

Previously, Yu Qi came out of Bichi, thinking about talking to Zhuang Jue alone, mentioning the things she was worried about, how did she know that it was inconvenient for the garden to be scattered, and she went back to her house separately, and she herself was not good at keeping him alone, let alone giving him hints. Now that the fright is fright, I am very happy in my heart.

Zhuang Jue said to Yu Qi: "My sister doesn't wait for me. ”

Yu Qi didn't say a word, and walked into the house. The resurrection behind Zhuang Jue and Su Yan squeezed their eyebrows, and they didn't know what they wanted, but they saw Zhuang Ying turn to Su Yan and say, "You go back first." Mrs. asked, you said that I went to Su Yuan, and I would invite Su Yuan to come to the house to watch a play to celebrate the birthday of my fifth sister later. ”

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I pity us a little, and my wife didn't say much about tearing up the book last time." I won't dare to throw it around for you. Sister Xianglian in the second master's room, but she didn't see the second master, and she was talked about a few times. You ...... you."

Zhuang Jue didn't care about her and followed Yu Qi in.

Suddenly helpless, Fusheng comforted her and said, "Come back, there is me." ”

He glanced at his resurrection: "The master is instigating you, be careful, my wife will theorize you one day." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The words of Su Yan and resurrection, not to mention that Yu Qi heard a word or two, Sanxi and Huiyuan also understood. The county lord was afraid that his two sons would not study well and cause trouble.

After entering the house, Yu Qi asked Sanxi and Huiyuan to go out to make black tea to entertain Zhuang Ting. This black tea was originally a gift from the Siamese merchant to the palace, because the tea is dark, the quality is not good, the palace has already taken it out to give it to the closer relatives, etc., the old lady naturally has a share, often reluctant to eat, and because of the knowledge that this black tea has the effect of awakening the mind and invigorating the blood, he promised some to Yu Li, and the rest of the Zhuang Mansion has not yet received this reward. It can be seen that it is precious.

Sanxi and Huiyuan got the meaning, and poured out some of the teabox, regardless of whether the black tea was precious or not, Sanxi was rude and half of it was poured out. Huiyuan looked at it and wanted to say it, but he was afraid that Sanxi's mouth would be so powerful that he wouldn't be forgiving, so he didn't say it. After taking the tea, the two went outside and saw Fusheng sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, doing nothing.

When he was resurrected, he saw Sanxi and Huiyuan, and he was happy in his heart. stepped forward and said attentively: "Two sisters......"

Where will Sanxi treat him? Let's go, go get utensils and prepare to boil water and make tea.

It turns out that this black tea cannot be cooked like ordinary tea, because when it is boiled, it will emit a strange smell and is extremely smoky. To eat, you need to start a new stove, clean the utensils, if the utensils are mixed with its smell, it is a pity to brew the tea, not to mention the color and taste halved, but also bleached white silk foam.

Sanxi has thick hands, of course, these need to be taken care of by Huiyuan. Although she left, she still handed a voice to Huiyuan: "I'll cook it, the girl is going to say it." ”

Huiyuan was full of embarrassment about resurrection, so she didn't say anything to resurrection, and went straight to the corner of the yard with Sanxi to make a stove and other things.

Huiyuan skimmed the resurrection who was sitting there far away, and whispered to Sanxi: "The girl is like a different person when she comes back from outside, don't you see it?" ”

Sanxi tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Since something happened in our house, the girl is always like this." His eyes were dumbfounded, some tears flickered, and he said, "It wasn't like that before." ”

Huiyuan knew, and asked, "Who did you see when you went out?" ”

Sanxi said heartlessly: "The backyard of Dongfu ......"

With this sound, Huiyuan hurriedly stepped forward to block Sanxi's mouth.

Huiyuan said cautiously: "I know." But who has not seen it? ”

Sanxi shook his head.

As the two of them spoke, they had cleaned their utensils and fetched water from the well. At this moment, Fusheng came with a smile.

Fusheng said: "The two sisters are good. I am in the third master's house, and my name is resurrection. ”

Regardless of whether the two of them wanted to or not, they rolled up their sleeves and picked up the barrel rope to help fetch water.

Fusheng said to himself: "This kind of rough work should be done by mothers, and my sister suffers this crime with tender skin and white hands." ”

Hearing this, Huiyuan was grateful, but Sanxi didn't think so, and his mouth was like a knife.

Sanxi said: "Look at what you said, Jinghua Xie is only the two of us, where is the mother." ”

Fusheng said: "In addition to being close to each girl, the girls in each province have mothers. My sister didn't go to the housekeeper in the house, my wife didn't allow it, the old lady did it, look at the old lady who loves the girl so much. ”

Sanxi snorted, too lazy to talk again.

Huiyuan looked at Fusheng and smiled, embarrassed not to go back.

Hui Yuan said: "Don't call my sister and sister, so that people can hear that we are more close to you." My name is Xiangjun, my nickname is Huiyuan, and her name is Sanxi. ”

Fusheng smiled silly, just worked hard to help fetch water and make a fire. The black smoke instantly spread, and Hui Yuan was afraid that the smoke would rush into the inner room, so she got up and walked to the edge of the house, and began to close the door.

When he arrived outside the door, he saw Zhuang Jue pestering Yu Qi to say something, and Yu Qi hesitated. At this point, Huiyuan felt that it was not good to look when the door was closed, so he left a slit the size of a palm, so that he could be more upright and not leave words for others to point out.

Huiyuan arranged it like this, and went to get busy.

Looking through the crack in the door, Zhuang Jue is extremely cute, walking around, pestering Yu Qi.

Yu Qi was helpless and said, "Just now I went to Sister Bichi with Sister Yu, I'm afraid that the eldest sister will know." ”

When he returned to Zhongfu Garden from Qinyuan, didn't Dao Feng say something to Zhuang Hu? Zhuang Hu's eyes swept to her side, and if she didn't go far, she must have known something. Acquaintance with Bichi, although it is not a matter of great shame, but think about it, he is an outsider, this Bichi enters the mansion or Zhuang Hu's secret, since Zhuang Hu doesn't want outsiders to know, he has no intention of getting involved, it is somewhat bad. After all, offending people, isn't it? Even if he didn't threaten to say it, if anyone said anything, the result would be that Yu Qi would harm Zhuang Hu and Bichi.

Thinking of these, Yu Qi faintly felt worried about gains and losses.

This is also the meaning of why Zhuang Yu is trying to win over.

Zhuang Ying listened and said, "Big sister will know if she knows." ”

Yu Qi said: "I'm worried about ......"

Zhuang Jue said: "If you are afraid that I will blame you for falling down, I will tell the eldest sister to go." Say that this has nothing to do with you and your fourth sister. ”

Zhuang Jue was about to leave after speaking. Seeing that he was so real, Yu Qi hurriedly grabbed it.

Yu Qi said: "I don't worry about this, I'm ......"

Zhuang Jue smiled: "Then what are you worried about." ”

Yu Qi can't say too much, after all, many things are just speculation. She knows that trouble comes from the mouth. So she said, "In short, you have to promise me one thing." ”

Zhuang Jue said: "My sister begged me, and I agreed." If my sister doesn't ask me, how can I know it's my sister's problem? ”

Yu Qi smiled and said, "Poor mouth." Then I'll beg you. Let's go to Sister Bichi's place, don't go out and tell people. Quan Dang is that we have never been to her, and we have never known Sister Bichi. Can you rely on me? ”

Zhuang Jue looked at Yu Qi strangely: "Is it Sister Bichi who offended her sister?" ”

Yu Qi said: "No." ”

Zhuang Ying was even more curious: "Then why?" ”

Zhuang Qi said: "Don't ask me, I'll tell you later." If you depend on me, I will depend on you whatever you want in the future. ”

Zhuang Jue has a million doubts in his heart, and it is not easy to ask at this moment. Just press it in your heart. For the rest, I talked with Yu Qi about the night's miscellaneous plays and interesting anecdotes about natural subjects. Yu Qi listened, and during the period, he couldn't help but tell him about Hui Yuan coming back to take his clothes and bumping into Su Yuan.

How do you know that Zhuang Yu heard that Su Yuan had come, and slapped himself on the forehead again and again,

Zhuang Jue said: "I originally wanted to invite him, but because it's not my birthday, it's the fifth sister's birthday, isn't it too rude for me to invite him?" So that the old lady thinks that our younger generation has no rules. ”

Yu Qi said: "It's fun to call family and friends to celebrate your birthday, why are you people in Kyoto so old-fashioned?" Don't dare to cross a step? ”

These words made Zhuang Jue stupid, only to see him look at Yu Qi stupidly, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed, angry, or mixed with other affairs. Kyoto's daughter's house, where have you ever seen such a woman? Very down-to-earth and fresh.

Yu Qi was embarrassed, so he raised his head and shouted outward: "Sanxi, is the tea good?" ”

At this moment, the smoke was thick outside, and the water was boiling and blooming.

The water outside Jinghua Xie's courtyard opened, and the bowl of tea in the Dongfu Zhuanghu house was also boiling hot. At this moment, Jian Qiu was pouring her a full cup.

Zhuang Hu sat on the kang thoughtfully. Daughter Cha Liangxiu rubbed in her arms, and from time to time reached out to the small table to take melon seeds to eat.

Dao Feng waited on the side, smiled and said to Zha Liangxiu: "Eldest sister, don't eat too much, your throat hurts again." ”

Zha Liangxiu pursed his mouth, grabbed stubbornly, and didn't care about Dao Feng's words. Dao Feng was still smiling and waiting.

In the end, Zhuang Hu scolded his daughter for a few words, and then asked the nurse outside to come in and take her daughter out.

Before the daughter left, Zhuang Hu said, "Where did you just go?" ”

Dao Feng glanced at Jian Qiu, who was serving tea, before saying, "Don't look carefully, it's like Miss Qi and the fourth girl." ”

Zhuang Hu sighed, looked distraught, and said to Jian Qiu: "You call the fourth sister, I'll ask her." ”

After a while, Jian Qiu led the fourth girl, Zhuang Yu, to come.

Entering the back room, Zhuang Yu said cautiously: "Big sister looking for me?" ”

Zhuang Hu said with a straight smile: "I heard that the fourth sister is closer to Sister Qi than other sisters, I want to ask the fourth sister to ask Sister Qi for something." ”

Where is this trying to ask Zhuang Yu for something, it is clearly Zhuang Husheng's plan to move flowers and trees from east to west, and to set people's words. Zhuang Yu is a stable person, although he doesn't have many scheming, he grew up in such a big mansion, and he always knows a little. On weekdays, a few sisters, and amiable, always lack something, like the wives and aunts, showing up at the old lady, in the field, the face and the heart do not match.

Zhuang Yu lowered his head: "I have never been close, and I have walked around a little like other sisters and sisters." ”

Zhuang Hu said: "Watching the play today, isn't the fourth sister also walking outside with Sister Qi?" ”

Zhuang Yu said: "It's just a bump, and I said a few words." ”

Zhuang Hu said: "I think you are so familiar? I think Sister Qi is also an arrogant person, and she may not really be close to you. ”

Zhuang Hu's tone was a little reproachful, and the meaning of his words was even harsh. Zhuang Yu didn't dare to explain again.

Zhuang Hu said again: "Which tongue chewer told me that you were close to Sister Qi, and said that you were walking around in the backyard!" You know, what kind of place is that in the backyard, the old ladies and old ladies don't allow us to go one step further. Sister Qi doesn't know, fourth sister, have you forgotten? ”

Zhuang Yu said: "Maybe someone is wrong. ”

Zhuang Hu picked up the tea, took a sip, and then said, "I'm not looking for you, and don't be careful." It's hard work in the house, and I have a lot of people coming and going with your brother-in-law, a big family. Taking care of the outside and looking inside, every day I can't eat well and can't sleep. It's hard, but outsiders don't know, but our sisters and brothers in Dongfu need to know. You also saw when I just came in, the eldest sister has been in poor health for the past two days, and I don't dare to let the old lady know that I don't have the slightest time to manage her. Think about it, I'm sorry for your brother-in-law and their old Cha family. Then he put down the teacup and said, "Since this is the case, I don't bother my sister to beg, I will go and ask my sister myself!" ”

Zhuang Hu glanced at Dao Feng.

Dao Feng lowered his head. Here, Dao Feng was afraid of Zhuang Hu's reproach, because it was her eyeliner words to Zhuang Hu. Now call Zhuang Yu to confront her, Zhuang Yu doesn't admit it, it can be seen that it is not catchy, usually Zhuang Yu's sister is honest, she has never lied when she is young, this point, Zhuang Hu trusts her nine times out of ten.

A little later, before the banquet for Zhuang Yu's birthday in Xifu, Zhuang Hu thought before and after, and finally brought the sword and phoenix sword to the backyard Qinyuan.

Zhuang Hu thought about warning Bichi, telling her to know some rules and not to make trouble at this moment.

The three of them quietly came to Qinyuan.

Entered the courtyard of Qinyuan, and drilled into the inner room.

When he got inside, he asked Jian Qiu to guard the door. Bi Chi was lying crookedly on the kang, his spirit was obviously much worse, his face was not bloody, and his eyes were not so bright as before.

Bi Chi saw Zhuang Hu and the others, and hurriedly struggled.

Zhuang Hu was not polite, glanced around the room, and motioned to Dao Feng to put the pot of blooming peony flowers he had just brought on the low table on the kang head.

Zhuang Hu said: "I haven't been free for the past two days and haven't come to see. I just passed by the garden, and I see that the flowers on the other side of the garden are blooming well, so I will bring you a pot by the way. ”

Bi Chi bowed in thanks: "Thank you, big girl." ”

Zhuang Hu said coldly: "By the way, let me tell you, the eldest brother is not feeling well, and the eldest lady will stay in the house to take care of it." I'm afraid I won't be able to pass these days. ”

Bi Chi originally knew, but he was still so concerned at the moment: "Can it be serious? ”

Zhuang Hu said: "It's good to take the medicine, don't worry." ”

Bi Chi lowered his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, big girl, I'll wait for my master to come out in the room." ”

Zhuang Hu said: "It's good that you understand this reason." By the way, has anyone been here these days? ”

Bi Chi's heart trembled, only to know the purpose of Zhuang Hu's sudden visit, and hurriedly said, "No." ”

At this time, Dan, the girl who came over with tea, fainted.

The teacup shattered to the ground, and the water spilled everywhere.

Everyone was shocked.

Bi Chi hurriedly said: "Danxin, what's wrong with you......"

Dao Feng helped Dan Xin up slightly, and Dan Xin said timidly: "I didn't mean to ......"

Zhuang Hu snorted, the corners of his mouth were slightly pulled, and he wanted to laugh, and glanced at Dao Feng a little.

Dao Feng said coldly: "This is how much work you have, you can't stand it so much?" It's delicate. ”

Zhuang Hu said: "How troublesome the life of two people can be, and they don't have to be so tired." ”

Bi Chi listened, his throat felt like something had been clicked, and there was a pain in it. Although Zhuang Hu will send some things every day, he generally doesn't have to worry about it, and after all, he still has to do it himself. But where there is some moving work, there is no capable man around, and the two daughters' families have to work together to carry it. She felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to contradict it.

Zhuang Hu said: "You rest first, I have to come back when I am free." ”

The three of Zhuang Hu's master and servant hurriedly came, and after speaking, they hurriedly went again. Seeing them go away, Bi Chi turned around to grab Dan Xin and let Dan Xin sit on the kang.

Bi Chi said with concern: "Are you better?" ”

Dan Xinnuo said: "I get dizzy when I move, and I don't know how it has been in the past few days." ”

Bichi said: "I also get dizzy from time to time. The big girl gives us a lot of meat every day, I think we eat less, and if we eat more meat and meat, it hurts our bodies. ”

Dan Xin said: "I haven't eaten vegetables for a long time. I'll wait until it's dark, and I'll get some outside, and I'll see that there's a vegetable garden in front of me. ”

Bi Chi shook his head: "One less thing is better than one more." It's good to wait for the master to come out. ”

After saying this, Bi Chi asked Dan Xin to go inside to rest, and he stayed on the kang for a while, feeling bored, and got up and walked around again. After walking for a while, I felt dizziness and nausea worsened, and I couldn't stop wheezing; I ate some tea, relieved myself for a while, and then opened my eyes to look ahead, but it was blurry and not real.

At night, Danxin struggled wildly and went outside to steal vegetables. I stole some, and I was happy to run to Qinyuan, but a stone flew out of nowhere and threw it. was smashing on Danxin's brain, and was stunned, she threw away the dish in her hand, touched her head, and it was wet and sticky. At this moment, in the west direction, the lights are bright, the voices of people are rising, and the musical instruments are noisy.

How did Danxin know that this was the birthday of the fifth girl, and Xifu was having a big show.

Dan's heart was in a hurry, and he picked up the vegetables on the ground and ran back to Qinyuan.

At this moment, the back garden of Xifu is very lively, and the brothers and sisters take turns to send gifts, and they are precious and abnormal. The Western eyebrow pencil that was unique to Yu Qi, Zhuang Jue really liked it in his heart, but he didn't show too much on his face.

This night, Zhuang Yu's birthday was noisy until the next night, and everyone dispersed happily. The old lady left the table early, especially asking Yu Qi to stay and accompany the county lord and others. Yu Qi was reluctant in her heart, and the old lady did not obey the words. Later, Zhuang Hu rushed back to see because his eldest sister Zha Liangxiu was unwell, and it took a while to come. During this period, Zhuang Yu approached Yu Qi if he didn't have anything, and if he didn't have anything, he said something to her.

Zhuang Yu said: "The thrush sent by Sister Qi is fresh. ”

Yu Qi said: "It's the old things I brought from the south, I don't think I can get my hands on it, and my sister doesn't dislike it." ”

Zhuang Yu said: "My sister doesn't know, my eldest sister has had this thing before, and it was given by my brother-in-law." In the capital, only there is above. "Especially with a gesture to the sky.

Yu Qi didn't know what it meant, which means that only the land of heavenly grace exists. is the head of the palace, the emperor's person.

Yu Qi smiled and said: "If my sister likes it, I will be fortunate to go back to the south in the future, and if I can get it, I will give it to my sister." ”

Zhuang Yu smiled, his heart was not so hard, and said: "Sister, do you know that thrush skin is difficult to draw in the bones, and no matter how good the eyebrow makeup is, it is not as good as the sisters' affection." ”

Yu Qi said slightly: "My sister is reminding me that I don't know my heart if I know people." What does that mean? My heart is true, sister, don't doubt me. ”

Zhuang Yu was surprised and blushed. She couldn't imagine that Yu Qi was so direct and calm at this moment.

Yu Qi said: "Listening to what my sister just said, I don't hide my mouth, so I joke nonsense, sister, don't take it seriously." ”

Zhuang Yu said: "The truth is useful, and the joke is happy." It's good that it's not bad. Therefore, looking at Yu Qi's expression, I added: "I see that Sister Qi likes to walk around the garden every day, and they don't remind them that there are some places that they can't go." The old lady and the lady were not allowed to go to the ......."

Yu Qi knew in his heart that Zhuang Yu's words were directed at Qinyuan, but he didn't break it.

Yu Qi said: "I am new here, and I want to walk around with my sisters more. I am not very familiar with the provinces, and sometimes I walk around and can't find a way out. In the future, fifth sister, you have to mention me more. lest you go to the wrong place. ”

Zhuang Yu smiled slightly, and it should be over. Moreover, Zhuang Jue saw Zhuang Yu talking to Yu Jue, he came to please him with his heart and lungs, Zhuang Jue saw that it was boring and left. Leaving Zhuang Jue Tiannan Haibei to find something to say, Yu Li didn't say a word, just listened.

At the table in the distance, Zhuang Pu talked and laughed with the other sisters, but he was not so shameless and entangled with Zhuang Yu.

When Fang was about to disperse, the housekeeper came to report to the Qin family that the eldest master Zhuang Xi was originally scheduled to return to Beijing at the beginning of next month, but because of the resurgence of disasters outside the province, he wanted him to stay calm. In addition, the officials in charge of the affairs of foreign communication, the turnover of those officials in charge of the turnover is not successful, and they ask him to stay for a few more days to help, so the eldest man can't come back at the beginning of the month, so he calls to the family to say.

The Qin family knew that it was not a problem to send someone to report to the old lady every day.

The night was a good night.

After 25 days, and the beginning of June, everything was normal, and the house was peaceful. During this period, there were only two trivial incidents, one was that Zhuang Pu was messing with someone outside, and he was chewed on his tongue, and his father Zhuang Qin was afraid that his reputation would not be good, so he locked him up for a few days. The second thing is that Zhuang Lu, the second old man of Beifu, had a few troubles with the second wife Cao, and he was so angry that Cao went back to his parents' house, and after the old lady knew, she asked Zhuang Lu to pick it up in person.

In mid-June, the old lady was greeted by the queen mother in the palace and went to the palace to accompany her for a few days. When he came back to the house, he told the people in the house that the Queen Mother was in poor health and wanted to go to the Imperial Garden to stay, because the Queen Mother did not want to alarm the court, so she only ordered some relatives to accompany her. After these days, the old lady who was physically and mentally tired returned to the mansion, and was supposed to rest well, but after lunch on this day, Cao ran from Beifu crying and shouting.

Before the Cao family arrived in Zhongfu, the voice resounded inside and outside early, followed by a tail of people, two daughters Zhuang Zhuang Ying, and personal girls Guiyuan, Yuyuan, and mothers-in-law, the momentum was huge.

The old lady was napping crookedly on the kang, and when she heard the cry, she hurriedly asked Zhu'er to wait for the girl.

Cao ran into Shouzhongju, knelt down in front of the old lady, and cried: "The old lady is in charge!" The old lady is going to call the shots for me! ”

The old lady and the girls looked at each other without knowing what was happening.

The old lady asked Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying, two sisters: "What's wrong with your wife?" ”

Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying choked with tears.

Cao cried even more.

The old lady asked Zhu'er to help Cao up, but Cao was paralyzed and couldn't stand on his knees.

At the end, Cao cried: "Old lady, I'm not alive!" The second master, he wants to deceive the door and destroy the house! ”

The old lady was upset when she heard this. Every day, I heard the girls gossip about Beifu, saying that the Cao family would mess with the second master if they were fine. Over the years, the second master has been annoyed with her, because of the marriage in the main house, it is difficult to repair her.

The old lady said, "What are you talking nonsense! Sternly said to Zhuang Qi Zhuang Ying: "If you don't pull her up, I will kneel through the ground here." ”

The old lady was unhappy, and sat down with the help of the girl to listen to Cao's theory.

Because of hearing the Cao family's loud cry, it was rumored that the wives of various mansions were coming, and at this moment, the Qin family, the county lord, and the aunt all came. Seeing that there were many people, Cao's even more shameless crying.

Cao said: "I heard the housekeeper whisper to him that the villains have been recruited, please show the second master, and say whether you want to report to the old lady." The second master is ruthless, and he is not allowed to make a noise! I thought that no one knew, but I heard it outside the house where I was deliberating, that it was the last time that those gangsters came out halfway and injured Miss Qi, which was the evil caused by the second master! ”

These words are really in the clouds, what does the second master's affairs have to do with Miss Qi? The old lady and the others all spat her nonsense in their hearts.

The old lady said angrily: "You should make it clear! ”

Cao couldn't stop crying.

When the old lady saw that she was only crying, she was very helpless, and said to everyone casually: "Go! Call the second master and the housekeeper! ”

The Qin family is from the Changfu, and the old lady has made a point, so she took the lead at the moment and gave a signal to her eldest girl.

Yuan Yi comprehended.

The county lord heard that the matter of the second master was related to Yu Qi, and his heart went up and down, hoping that this was Cao's nonsense, and it was the reason for the two of them to quarrel, not really. In short, the county lord was really uneasy in his heart, and he was afraid and wanted to know the truth of the result.

In other words, the second old man Zhuang Lu is only in charge of laying out business, and he has never met Yu Su before, how did it cause those things? Listening to Cao's words, it also led to the disaster of killing?

These, when Yu Qi, Sanxi and Huiyuan found out, they were also shocked. As the saying goes: Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky; Nowadays, the providence is boundless, and it turns out that there is karma.
