Chapter 40: Stoppage
A peaceful night, no words.
Cao returned to Beifu. Although she was sad and indignant, but she had two daughters who were comforted in every possible way, and her mood was slightly better, and she let her two daughters go to sleep the next night, and she asked Guiyuan Yuyuan to bring two bottles of gold paper drunk, and I don't know how much I ate, so I fell asleep on the kang in a daze.
After this trouble, the West Mansion was calm on the surface, but in reality, the county lord and the third old man Zhuang Qin couldn't sleep all night, full of worries. The husband and wife discussed, and the next day, after inviting the old lady, they had to go to Beifu to discuss countermeasures with the Cao family and the second master. In the following night, the county lord was still not worried about Zhuang Pu, and went to visit twice; was very resentful of Xianglian before, but after all, seeing her serve her wholeheartedly, he had nothing to investigate. Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu, brother and sister, wanted to stay in Zhuang Pu's house, but the county lord refused to let them go back and drove them back. As for whether the two of them can sleep when they go back, they don't care too much. And Yu Qi came back from the trouble in Beifu Lizhuyuan and returned to the house with Zhuang Yu, and the county lord did not say a word to her.
The eldest girl, Zhuang Hu, returned to Dongfu from Xifu, and did not mention it, and the people of Dongfu waited for the joy of the scriptures, and slept happily, but they didn't know about it at all.
Next.
Yu Qi returned to Zhongfu from Xifu Jinghua Xie, and before he entered the courtyard, Zisu greeted him from inside. Zisu saw that Yu Qi's face was tired, so he anxiously went over and asked.
Yu Qi shook his head, not quite wanting to speak. Zisu raised his eyes to look at Sanxi, and Sanxi frowned and stared at Yu Qi, absent-minded.
I went up the stairs and entered the room to the inner room.
Zi Su said: "It's been a whole night, and I can't sleep well. Maybe you're drunk in Dongfu? I didn't see anyone go back and forth. ”
Sanxi sneered, turned around to pour the tea, brought back the tea and handed it to Yu Qi, and then said to Zisu: "The girl thinks too much, and the masters and girls in the house have their families back, what are we?" It's just cheap skin and cheap meat. ”
Hearing this, Zi Su knew that the two of them were wronged last night.
At that time, Yu Su had already sat on the kang, Zi Sutuo pulled out the quilt to cover her, and brought Tang Pozi to her, because she heard Sanxi say this, Zi Su only held Yu Qi's hand and said: "Eat a good meal, why did you wronged you again?" ”
Yu Qi looked helplessly, looked straight ahead, curled his lips lightly, and said softly: "Mr. Guan's matter in Accord has been lost." I didn't listen to Sanxi's words and did something I shouldn't have done. So I couldn't come back overnight. ”
Zisu opened his mouth and spoke dumbly, his eyes full of worry.
Yu Qi shook Zisu's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, aren't I coming back?" ”
Zi Su said: "Back is back." But you ......"
Yu Qi's hand was raised, standing on Zisu's lips, shaking his head and saying, "Sister, don't say it." ”
Yu Qi's scene is not only sad, but also more disappointed. Zi Su really didn't say anything about Mr. Guan last night.
Then, Zisu turned the conversation away and said, "When will you go over and say goodbye?" ”
Yu Qi didn't reply, turned his head to look out the window.
Outside the window, half a ray of warm sunlight slowly shone on, and the shadow moved the wall. According to the past, it is time to go to Shouzhongju to say hello, or because the first night is too enjoyable, the old lady may not have gotten up yet, and the wives of various prefectures may have filial piety to let her rest more, so there is no movement of everyone entering the door.
Yu Qi planned in his heart that when the wives went in, it was almost time for him to go quietly. At this time, take a nap by yourself, and I really didn't close my eyes very much last night.
Zi Su felt it, got up lightly, and said, "I'll go out and have a look, if they all go, I'll call you again." ”
Yu Qi nodded slightly, his eyes closed.
Zisu walked outside the curtain and deliberately stayed to wave to Sanxi. Sanxi took care of Yu Qi on the kang, she wanted to stay and serve, but did not respond to Zisu's call.
Zisu was anxious in her heart, and just now she asked her to stop talking, but she didn't say it, but she was very worried in her heart, and she couldn't wait to find a gap to ask Sanxi.
Now that Sanxi shouldn't, Zisu was annoyed, so he strode in, regardless of the size of the movement, and stretched out his hand to pull Sanxi out.
Go to the verandah of the hospital.
Zisu got straight to the point and said: "You tell me carefully what happened in Dongfu, and don't miss anything." ”
Sanxi sat down on the railing and sighed.
Zisu was anxious, and pushed one hand on Sanxi's shoulder: "Sigh of defeat, how can you hope that your girl is good?" If you are good for her, speak to me. I can't help much, at least I can relieve her and make her feel more comfortable. ”
Sanxi said: "I'm afraid that the Jade Emperor Buddha will not be able to make the girl feel comfortable." ”
Zi Su anxious: "What's the matter?" ”
So, Sanxi poured out all the things that happened in Dongfu for a day. Speaking of the section where the Cao family begged the county lord, he deliberately mentioned the incident of cheap skin and cheap meat. In the end, Sanxi's hatred is hard to dissipate, and she complains that the Zhuang Mansion has belittled her girl's identity.
After Zisu listened, he had no idea for a while. Because he thought that Yu Qi would stay in Xifu and sleep with Zhuang Yu, he asked, "What do you mean by the five girls?" ”
In the words, I want to ask the five girls what is their attitude towards Yu Li? Have you ever talked to Yu Qi when you went back to sleep?
Sanxi misunderstood, shook his head and said, "The second master was beaten, didn't the third master and the fifth girl also lie down?" What's the point of protecting yourself? ”
Zisu sighed: "I mean, you go back to the fifth girl's room, and the fifth girl can take care of you?" ”
Sanxi shook his head.
Zisu's brain suddenly seemed to be empty, and he sat down softly along the railing, took out a handkerchief and rolled it in his hand.
Sanxi said: "What does the fifth girl say if she doesn't speak?" ”
Zisu said: "One son knows the overall situation. When such a thing happens, the five girls retreat and refuse to talk to you, presumably others know about it, and they also want to isolate you! ”
Sanxi muttered, "That's right, they have a lot of things to do anyway." It's better not to bother our girls, lest they be pushed into the pit again and again. ”
Zisu nodded "um", which was considered to be in agreement.
In fact, Yu Qi and Zhuang Yu went back to the room last night, and the two of them lay on the same pillow and had a conversation. It's just that he said it very softly, and Sanxi couldn't hear it.
That's going to happen. The county lord ordered Zhuang Jue, Zhuang Jue, and Yu Qi to return to the room, and tonight's incident will not be investigated for the time being, and will be re-questioned after tomorrow. And because of the late night, the county lord specially asked Zhuang Yu to sleep with him.
All the way back to the room, the two of them had nothing to say. The girls added warm incense, and the two removed their makeup and trimmed one after another, and went to bed in wide clothes. Zhuang Yu was bored for a long time, and finally whispered to Yu Yu: "Sister sleeps inside or outside?" ”
Yu Qi responded: "Outside the main master, the guest is as the master is convenient, and he should live on his back." I'm in it! ”
The two lay flat. No sleepiness.
Zhuang Yu originally turned his back to Yu Qi, but because he was a little irritable, he turned around and faced Yu Qi, staring at her with straight eyes.
Yu Qi closed her eyes and calmed her mind, but she didn't know that Zhuang Yu looked at her like this. After a while, Zhuang Yu whispered: "Sister, what do you say the wife will do to us tomorrow?" ”
Yu Qi opened his eyes, and he saw Zhuang Yu staring at him with wide eyes.
Yu Qi turned around and looked at her, "Sleep!" Tomorrow has tomorrow's results. What if you are too worried? Zuo is just one person doing things and one person is responsible for it, I am the one who caused the incident, and I can let my wife punish me. My sister doesn't have to worry. ”
Zhuang Yu was slightly moved and said with a smile: "My sister looked down on me." If I wanted to escape, I wouldn't be lying on the ground with you tonight. I can't do anything like that. To be honest, it's all the blame for the second brother, which has affected my sister. ”
This is heartwarming, since entering the house, Yu Qi has intersected with all the sisters, and he is kind every day, which is not true. After this calamity, I suddenly received these sincere hearts, so I was quite moved.
Yu Waner laughed: "Thank you, sister." ”
Zhuang Yu said: "I have something unclear and want to ask my sister." Seeing that Yu Qi didn't respond, she lay down and said quietly: "I remember that many things happened when my sister came in, and my sister was so calm. How did my sister do it? Looking back, I have also done some things that I can't live with my sister, although we didn't say it clearly, after all, it was buried in my heart, I was a little careless, I don't know if my sister minded? ”
Hearing this, Yu Qi's mind suddenly remembered everything that happened after he entered the Zhuang Mansion, the master and servant of Bichi were struggling to survive, Zhuang was fighting, the Cao family was making trouble, Zhuang Hu was framed, and Huiyuan was forced to marry. Where is the cause? There are some festivals in it, which are indeed related to Zhuang Yu, but after all, she is younger than herself, which may be forgivable.
Yu Qi thought about these things and didn't answer Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu felt that Yu Qi had a grudge in his heart, so he stopped mentioning it.
This is the whisper in the tent of the two, and the three joys are unknown. So when Zisu asked, she could only answer like that.
Now, Yu Qi was lying on the kang, thinking about the events of the previous night, and recalling the words that Zhuang Yu said to him, and suddenly felt a trace of apology. With this thought, his vision gradually blurred, and he vaguely saw a few people walking in front of him.
One is the father.
One is a mother.
One is a younger brother.
Only my sister is missing. Yu Qi got up from the kang and approached her parents in a trance, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart, and she had a lot of things to say to them. But before the words could be spoken, the three relatives turned around and left one by one. She chased it out, but she didn't expect to hit the threshold with a kick and hit the ground with her head.
Suddenly, I heard a voice: "Girl! ”
Yu Qi opened his eyes and saw Sanxi standing in front of the kang and gently pushing himself.
Yu Qi said silently: "Why are you leaving?" The tears could not be stopped, and they flowed.
Sanxi was surprised and said, "Who is gone?" ”
Yu Qi said: "It's all gone!" All gone! ”
Sanxi was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, so he hurriedly squatted under the kang, held Lu Qi's hand and rubbed him hard, and said nervously: "Girl, I'm here, and Miss Zisu is also there." Didn't go! ”
Yu Qi took a breath, struggled to smile, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. Then he said lightly: "Oh! I'm dreaming! I dreamed of our old lady and my sleeping brother. ”
Sanxi grinned, cried, and said sadly: "The girl misses them, the lord and the wife know in God." ”
Yu Qi said: "However, I didn't see my sister in my dream." My sister didn't know where she had gone. ”
Sanxi said sadly: "Niangniang? ”
At that time, Zisu lifted the curtain and walked in, urging: "Why did you call someone like this?" I looked outside the courtyard and saw that they were all in. Don't hurry up and wait for your girl to get up. ”
Zisu said that, he went up and lifted the quilt, and helped Yu Qi up with Sanxi.
Yu Qi was confused and let the two of them help them up, rearrange their clothes and headdresses, and after taking care of them, Zisu told Sanxi: "Hold on carefully." After going out, Zisu was not at ease, so he took Yu Qi's hand and said, "Ting'er, everyone in this house is evil. What you did to Mr. and Miss Yu is to repay your kindness, there is no fault right or wrong, what they think in their hearts, let them go. After good morning, come back quickly, you can't follow them all the way, the old lady will leave you with breakfast and push it if you can! Don't stay there and let the old lady ask for something. If you want the old lady to know that one of them has mentioned this, you can let go of the rebuttal. At this time, there is nothing to be afraid of! ”
Yu Qi smiled and nodded.
So, on this, he and Sanxi went to Shouzhong to live in peace, and met with everyone in various prefectures.
