Zhuang Hu brought the ginseng soup and the fateful pill given by the saint, and stopped at the door outside the hall in the wing room, not daring to enter the thunderbolt. The Qin clan and the county lord saw that the Cao clan was silent, and they didn't dare to go in. However, Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Pu didn't treat anyone when they saw the situation, and Zhuang Pu grabbed Zhuang Hu's tray in front of Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Pu said: "Eldest sister, I'll come." ”

Zhuang Hu was afraid of being blamed, so he didn't want to give it.

Zhuang Jue hurriedly said: "When will the eldest sister be afraid, if the second brother goes in and is punished by the masters, he will punish me." Don't worry. ”

Zhuang Yu said, gently taking Zhuang Hu's hand away. Zhuang Hu was shocked in his heart, and handed out his eyes to the Qin family, the county lord, and the Cao family.

Qin Shifang got up and said, "If not, let's go in and take a look." That's what Fang means. ”

The county lord chimed in: "What the eldest lady said is extremely true. ”

In this way, the Qin clan took the lead, Zhuang Pu trayed the trays, Zhuang Yu was on the side, and the county lord and the aunt followed behind with half pulling and half pushing the Cao family. In addition, there are girls in each room, aunts, wives and girls.

The group entered the inner hall on their own, but they didn't dare to go straight into the side room, waiting outside, but heard the old lady humming and crying inside. Qin Shi hit the front and coughed a few times. At the end, the second old man Zhuang Lu opened the door and came out, raising his hand to signal to bring things in.

When I entered the house, I saw the old lady wiping her tears, and said to everyone impatiently: "What are you doing here?" That's it, hurry up. ”

Zhuang Pu was about to put the tray on the tray, but Zhuang Hu had already grabbed it and handed it to the old lady. The old lady first chose a vermilion lacquer box wrapped in yellow silk, and opened it slightly, revealing a ball as clear as jade. She picked it up in her hand, and a strange fragrance quickly dispersed, rushing into everyone's noses. This is the destiny pill of the divine reward.

Cao didn't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but when he smelled this incense, he really sneezed.

Zhuang Lu stared at her in disgust, but he didn't speak, and he was somewhat uncomfortable.

The old lady gently broke Zhuo Yiting's mouth and pushed the pill into her mouth. Then he stretched out his hand to everyone, but everyone didn't move, and the old lady's hand stopped for a while, annoyed, and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, bring water." ”

The county lord started by paying attention to the need for water, and asked the girl to bring the orb early, and when the old lady was annoyed, she signaled to let the orb be brought.

The Qin family and the Cao family were so annoyed by the old lady that they hung their heads and said nothing. But the girl next to Cao's Guiyuan had a bitter look on her face, and she kept looking at her master Cao, afraid that she would be scolded if she went out.

The old lady served Zhuo Yiting to take medicine, drank water, and entered the ginseng soup. After a while, Zhuo Yiting slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

The old lady saw that people had returned to their souls, and they liked it very much, so she hurriedly got up from the side of the bed, prayed and worshiped outside the window, and couldn't help but be happy, walked to the edge of Zhuo Yiting, and whispered to her: "Okay, okay!" Son! Don't talk, don't move. Take a good rest, don't be afraid, ah! ”

The daughters-in-law were all surprised in their hearts, and none of them dared to say a word. Instead, the four old men slowly retreated outside, shaking their heads and whispering. The Qin family also retreated, walked up to Zhuang Xi, and stopped talking, probably wanting to ask about the situation, but Zhuang Xi signaled not to speak. After a while, the county lord also came over, and Zhuang Qin took the county lord's hand and signaled not to speak.

I only heard the old lady say: "From now on, take care of my south-facing upper room, and move in when the girl is better." The ladies of each room gave some orders to go down, and the place where the girl lived could not lack anything or less. If I had known, I would not have relied on you! In the future, this mirror flower Xie Yuan wing room will be left for these two girls to live in......"

Everyone responded in unison. Seeing that the situation was settled, Sanxi was afraid that she would be separated from her girl from now on, so she was anxious, and hurriedly pulled Huiyuan to kneel to the old lady.

Sanxi said: "Old lady, we follow the girl to serve the girl, and we will go wherever the girl goes." Please allow the old lady. ”

The old lady took a closer look at Sanxi and Huiyuan, and without a sound, she reached out and slowly pulled up the two of them, with endless gratitude in her eyes. Sanxi saw that the old lady's tears were about to fall, so she hurriedly changed her words and said, "Our girl just took medicine, so she needs to take a rest." "How much resentment is born in the heart, outsiders can't see it.

The old lady smiled and said to the family members: "Listen, this is the person who takes care of people, and we can't pick out one of the hundreds in our house." Girl, what's it called? ”

Sanxi and Huiyuan glanced at each other, and Huiyuan signaled not to say much. Sanxi ignored it, and said half-cold and half-hot: "The name my girl gave me is called Sanxi." The girl said, know that Anxi, Kangtaijia is happy, and the reunion is happy. ”

The old lady smiled and admired, and couldn't stop looking at Zhuo Yiting on the bed. asked Sanxi again: "How old is the girl?" ”

Sanxi said: "Fifteen." ”

The old lady was about to ask Huiyuan, and Huiyuan took the initiative to give a blessing and said, "Back to the old nobleman, my name is Xiangjun, and I am seventeen this year." A little smaller than the girl. ”

Seeing Huiyuan Zhili, he took a look at it more, and didn't say anything, and his heart was full of praise Zhuo Yiting for having these two women serving him, one upright, the other soft and polite, without losing the share of a big family. At this point, the old lady led everyone out after a few greetings.

As soon as the old lady left, Sanxi and Huiyuan squatted beside Zhuo Yiting's bed.

Zhuo Yiting's injury was actually not as serious as he imagined, so he pretended to be a little bit better to fool the past. Now that the man is gone, he must lean on his feet.

Huiyuan consciously took a pillow and put it on Zhuo Yiting, and Sanxi pushed her away.

Sanxi said: "Okay, I'm so polite to them." Do you not know what to do with them? ”

Hui Yuan knew that he had made a mistake, so he didn't dare to squeak, standing aside, tears rolling in his eyes.

Zhuo Yiting saw Sanxi like this, so he said: "I see that Huiyuan is excellent, but you are too sharp." ”

Sanxi served Zhuo Yiting and got up, lay down, and didn't say anything. Huiyuan said with tears in her eyes: "Blame me, I'll pay more attention in the future." ”

Zhuo Yiting said: "Good sister, Sanxi is like this, don't be like her." You must know a little bit about us. Now, this is ......"

When Huiyuan heard this, she thought she was going to get rid of her, so she was so anxious that she knelt down. She knew what Zhuo Yiting was in, after coming out of Xianyuan Nunnery, they hid from her at Mr. Yao's house, and at first did so, but then when she saw that she couldn't hide it, Zhuo Yiting told her something. Presumably at this moment, I know nine times out of ten.

Hui Yuan said: "Hui Yuan is willing to serve the girl. ”

Zhuo Yiting wanted to comfort her a few words, but who thought she was so careful. Just as he was about to say more, Zhuang Yu sent Yuping, a girl in his mother's room, to bring a vase, which was filled with lilies. When Yuping came in, Zhuo Yiting pretended to lie down again.

Yuping glanced at Zhuo Yiting a few times, and told him that it was the third master Zhuang Yu who called to say hello, and went out.

Yuping came out of the mirror and thanked him, and replied to Zhuang Yu on the edge of the lotus root pond in Zhongfu, roughly saying that the girl was fine, and her face was much ruddy. Zhuang Jue was relieved and was about to go to the old lady's house, when he suddenly saw the old lady's big girl Zhu'er serving tea, so he asked, "The old lady is in good spirits?" Drove us all back, and I will ask Xie An to go to her old man's house now. ”

Zhu'er hurriedly stopped and whispered: "The old lady is talking to the four masters now, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

Saying so, Zhuang Yu didn't go, and he went back to Xifu to study alone. Zhu'er walked back to the old lady's house with tea, and at this moment, the old lady was lying crookedly on the kang bed, and Zhuang Xi, Zhuang Lu, Zhuang Qin, and Zhuang Yao sat opposite.

Zhu'er came in, the five stopped talking, she first gave tea to the old lady, and then served it to the four old men in an orderly manner. When she was done, she was about to go out, when the old lady stopped her and said, "You go to the girl's side to see, if you need anything, look for the eldest girl, the eldest girl should not ask the eldest lady and the third lady first." Go ahead! ”

Zhu'er looked at Zhuang Lu uneasily, and felt that the old lady intended to embarrass the Cao family, and the affairs of the original mansion should be in charge of the North Mansion.

Zhuang Lu didn't hear it, so Zhu'er answered and went.

When Zhu'er went, the old lady said, "I asked the two girls carefully before, one was brought out of the house, and the other was a life-saving benefactor in the nunnery." ”

Zhuang Xi said: "The accompanying Mr. Yao Ming'er is leaving, and he is relieved that he is relieved when he says that the person has arrived." ”

The old lady nodded and said, "The dare is all known, fortunately, there are nobles, hard work for this girl." ”

Zhuang Qin said: "Mr. Yao told me alone, the eldest sister originally had something to say, and it also meant to bring Yiting and Weimian over." ”

The old lady said: "It is important to find my nephew as soon as possible, so as not to fall into the hands of others, and I will not survive." ”

Zhuang Xi said: "It's arranged, let people ask around." ”

The old lady said: "You don't have to hide it from me, if you look for it, you have a conscience, if you don't look for me, I can't care a lot if I close my eyes, and I can't forgive you." ”

Zhuang Xi said: "Yes, mother." ”

The rest did not dare to answer.

After a while, Zhuang Qincai said: "The eldest brother-in-law and I are colleagues, and I heard Mr. Yao say that the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law mean to entrust to our house." Colleagues don't say it, it's in-laws, and it should be. ”

The old lady continued: "In that case, it is good that the pavilion will be taken care of by your house in the future!" ”

When the old lady said this, the other three princes were overjoyed and frequently praised the old lady* for being properly arranged.

Zhuang Lu thought for half a minute, but suddenly said: "Mother, the eldest brother is now the third and the fourth, and he is an official in the court, I am afraid that it will be passed out, and the loss of official affairs will be small, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

The old lady hesitated: "According to your wishes, it will be sent far away, or it will be handed over to the government?" ”

Zhuang Lu got up again and again and explained: "I didn't mean that, my mother misunderstood." ”

The old lady said in disgust: "Misunderstanding, I think this is your plan!" ”

Zhuang Lu said: "Besides, we don't know where Mr. Yao came from, he said that the eldest sister's family entrusted him with his words, who knows whether it is true or false." Whether this pavilion is true or false cannot be determined......"

The old lady was even more disgusted, and she didn't even look at Zhuang Lu, but said: "I don't think Mr. Yao is a bad person, and he saved me today, you can see so many eyes, and you will say these unconscionable words." ”

Zhuang Yao saw her mother angry, and timidly got up to comfort: "Mother is angry." ”

The old lady took a sip, pointed at Zhuang Yao and said, "You will coax me to calm my anger, and I can't say a second sentence with the knife on my neck!" I look at it this way, there are not a few more people in the house for no reason, but I have a way to block people's eyes and ears! ”

Zhuang Xi was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Please show my mother." ”

The old lady sighed and pondered, "I'm afraid that the days will be a little sadder in the future, and I am not allowed to mention this matter to anyone, nor to my wives." In the future, I will explain it to them again. There are many people in the house, and if one is not careful, the whole family will lose their heads. What I mean......"

Several old men stepped forward and listened to the old lady whisper.

After the old lady finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhuang Qin without moving. Zhuang Qin waved his hand again and again.

The old lady said, "Okay? ”

Zhuang Yao said: "I think it's very appropriate, the third brother is the most suitable." ”

Zhuang Xi said again: "Although it is not very comprehensive, it is reasonable. ”

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In the future, Ju'er will become a person, and I have another plan, so let's talk about it today!" And it's so decided, the third master, you are not allowed to refuse. I'm tired, let's go back! ”

Zhuang Qin wanted to argue again, but the old lady didn't allow it, and Zhuang Xi and Zhuang Yao pulled him along, so they had no choice but to go out. Only Zhuang Lu was stunned in his heart, and he had unspeakable worries, because he didn't dare to refute his mother's plan, so he went with the flow and forgot it.

The old men just went out, Zhu'er came in, hesitated to stand aside, pinched the old lady's arm, and reported intentionally or unintentionally: "Old lady, there is trouble in the East Mansion again." ”

The old lady rubbed her head, took off her forehead, and said, "Let's make trouble!" There are lives in each house, and I am old, so I can't help it. ”

Zhu'er said with a smile: "Where is the old lady old, the house is not to ask the old lady to nod." It can be seen that there is filial piety in the house. ”

The old lady put her forehead around again, and the bamboo helped buckle it. The old lady said: "Then tell me, what's going on in Dongfu?" ”

Zhu'er said slowly: "I'm afraid that the girl's ginseng soup will be cold and difficult to enter, so I went to Dongfu to ask the eldest girl, so that I could assign someone to take a look, and before I arrived, I heard the aunt and grandmother crying in the uncle's room." ”

The old lady frowned, puzzled, "Why?" ”

Zhu'er said: "Auntie and grandma are jealous, blame the uncle for not coming back outside." said that as soon as I came back, I was always at my aunt's place. ”

The old lady smiled and said: "This woman will make trouble as soon as she is jealous, I see that your uncle Dongfu is not sensible, he is dozens of years old, he is not as good as Pu'er, and Ju'er is young." He Lao Tzu drilled the military generals in the court all day long, and he didn't care about him. ”

Zhu'er said: "The eldest aunt and grandmother sued the eldest lady, and the eldest lady said that she had a headache in the past, and the eldest aunt and grandmother made trouble because of this, saying that no one in the house was willing to stand up for her, and she was forced to be pressed every day when she entered the Zhuang Mansion." ”

When the old lady heard this, she was not happy, and said: "It's also to blame her for not being angry, she can't control men, and she can't control her stomach." See, there is still a vacant place for Xuan'er, waiting to help a grandmother in the main house. Those two are boring masters, and they can only make these noises. Let's go, let's see! ”

Saying this, Zhu'er hurriedly picked up the old lady and went to Dongfu with a few little girls.

Dongfu is the long house of the Zhuang mansion, and the master of the family is Zhuang Xi, the eldest son of the old lady. Now a certain age, because he was a thief who fell off a cliff when he was young, he was chivalrous and rescued, and married Qin Shi, the daughter of the chivalrous man Qin Gong, in order to repay his kindness. He had a son named Zhuang who was born to the Qin family, and he was the grandson of the head of the Zhuang Mansion; and gave birth to a daughter named Zhuang Hu with Aunt Xi, the second aunt, who is the eldest sister of the long house, and this eldest sister is the same age as her father's third aunt's wife. The third aunt's wife also raised a daughter, named Zhuang Yu, the fourth in line, and ordinary people called the fourth girl.

Now the old lady came to see the troublesome aunt and grandmother of her eldest house, Sun Zhuang.

Zhuang Wei was nearly forty years old at the time, lazy all day long, and he was a noble son and brother when he was young, inheriting the blessings accumulated by the old lady's generation, and he was free for half his life, and he was also a happy and ignorant little fairy. Just talking about Zhuang Xuan, a person who relies on forty people, looks like a fairy-like character, which is very different from his daily behavior. Looking at it quietly, it is very peaceful, and no matter how deep you are, it is not a little flower master in the capital. Only one thing, it's not good to play a small body, always sick, I don't know what year I got a serious illness, and since then I've been crazy and crazy intermittently, and it's always normal. And because of his shallow nature and a bit of amorous demeanor, he blindly wanted to find a wishful beauty, but for many years, he couldn't find it, but his family married two aunts and wives back, but he didn't arrange the position of the main room, and lingered in the market all day long. Whenever he was in good health, he invited friends to drink, went to the kiln and went to the market, all the flowers and wine, Hu Hai came in chaos, if the body was mad, the medicine was not complete, the family tied him up, locked up in the house for ten days and eight days, and waited for the third wife and the county lord to take expensive medicine to cure it, and then went out to the wild again. This Qin family and Zhuang Xi are helpless, they can't control him, they just turn a blind eye and let him go, praying that he won't cause anything outside.

At this time, Zhuang Xuan's aunt and grandmother made trouble because of jealousy and silver. When the old lady arrived, she did not go in, but listened outside.
