Chapter 34: Be Careful with Friendship
After seeing the old lady wake up, Zhuang Qi served tea left and right. After a while, the wives of the various mansions came to ask for peace and talked about some family affairs, and the old lady asked Zhuang about it again, others were not good at talking, and the Qin family was at a loss, so they only listened to the training.
The old lady asked Zhuang again if he had been able to say anything, and the Qin family dared to say, "He knows that he is wrong." β
The old lady didn't save half of her face, and said, "If you know your mistake, you should go to the ancestral hall to kneel down to your ancestors." Don't you recognize your ancestors in Dongfu? β
The Qin family didn't dare to say any more, Zhuang Hu was full of worries beside her, and Zhuang Yu knew it, so she said on behalf of the Qin family and Zhuang Hu: "The old lady is much worried, what else do we have, and you still have the spirit to manage it?" is also a little biased, so he always cares about the big brother, the big brother. β
The county lord coughed at Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Yu retreated, and the old lady was not angry, and said with a smile: "Other people's children are good, you don't want to go well, you just want to be like your big brother, fortunately, you are a girl's family, a man, I don't know which bone to break." β
The county lord said: "The old lady is used to her, and she should have been rewarded with a mouthful to taste it to know that it was amazing." β
These words were originally a joke, and they were also a reprimand for Zhuang Yu's rude naughtiness, and when it came to Qin's ears, it was full of sarcasm for her. So the Qin family said coldly: "Our master is not the uncle, he teaches his younger brothers and sisters badly." β
The county lord heard a little unfairness, apologized, and lowered his head to the Qin family.
Cao Shi said: "If you want me to say, it's not that the masters in our house are disobedient, it's that the people outside are all crooked-minded and squint-eyed, and I don't have any worries about the children in my own house." The old lady doesn't have to look for the uncle's bad like this, the uncle also has a good one, I think back then, the uncle stole the red basket charcoal for the old lady in the snow in winter! What kind of thing is that, it's from the palace. β
The old lady took a sip and said, "You still have the face to mention, the second master entrusted the blessing of the third master, and you have to be sent by the Tianfu to transport these things to Xi'anmen, and you will let the uncle know, fortunately, it didn't cause any big incident." Rather, there is thee today. β
Cao said: "Didn't you say that it was good, but if it was not good, there was nothing to say." The daughter-in-law is unhappy for the uncle, and the old lady must also remember whether the uncle is good or not. β
The old lady didn't want to see Cao, and when she saw that she was reasonable, she didn't blame her. only said: "If you do this, you will close it, and if you admit your mistake, you will release it." Don't really get sick again, so that the third wife can go to find medicine. I don't know how many carloads of medicine the third wife has contributed to your Dongfu over the years. β
The old lady first felt that the Qin clan had an unfair look towards the county lord, so she came to this point. These words kill three birds with one stone, and one eagle listens to Cao's words, which makes her feel comfortable; The second carving makes the Qin family comfortable; The three eagles let the Qin family never forget the kindness of the county lord. Intended to elevate the county lord.
The old lady has good intentions, somewhat because Zhuang Qi is a person from the county lord's mansion.
After being reminded like this, the Qin clan looked extremely apologetic, and smiled at the county lord.
The county lord said: "The old lady mentioned this stubble again, in the past, I also said that the eldest lady is not the flesh and blood of the family." β
The old lady said: "The third lady is worried, I didn't say it." β
Zhuang Hu, who was standing next to him, said: "So, can the eldest brother be released today?" β
The old lady said: "You are also a mother, may not ask your wife to lock up the uncle for the rest of your life?" Is there anything you don't feel distressed about? β
Zhuang Hu smiled and gave Qin a happy look, and Qin's heart was full of gratitude.
Zhuang Hu said: "That...... I'll thank the old lady for the eldest brother. β
The old lady said, "What does it have to do with you?" He was the one who was wrong. I've heard that the bastard is still talking about you in front of so many people. It's not too much to rush here, and it's not too much to close it for another ten days and half a month. β
Zhuang Hu saw the old lady defending herself in a blink of an eye, her eyes immediately moistened, and she only said: "The eldest brother is your eldest grandson, and we will have to rely on him in the future." The old lady punished him severely, and he will not recognize my sister in the future. β
Saying this, it made everyone laugh.
Zhuang Qi looked at and smiled with Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu; Zhuang Hu and his wives laughed together; The aunts and wives were a bunch of foils, Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Qili pursed their lips and stared at each other, speechless, full of playfulness.
At this moment, Zhuang Pu came to ask for peace, and everyone dispersed after a while.
Walking out of Shouzhongju, the county lord took Zhuang Pu's hand and asked, "What about your third brother?" Why didn't you come to say hello to the old lady? When he went to his room, he saw no one, where did he go? β
Zhuang Pu said: "Ask him about his resurrection and death, where do I know." β
Resurrection and Resurrection are Zhuang Di's personal servants and girls.
After Zhuang Pu finished speaking, he ran away.
The rest of the wives, aunts, and girls watched the county lord's mother and son talk, but they didn't say anything, and when Zhuang Pu left, they also dispersed and went back to the house without mentioning it.
The county lord returned to Xifu and asked Yuping to call Fei Yan to come over for questioning, and Fei Yan replied that Zhuang Ying and Fusheng went to the back garden to fly kites. The county lord was surprised, it was out of season, and it was early in the morning, how could Zhuang Yu play these games.
He said suddenly: "The third master tore up the study book and made a kite overnight. β
The county lord asked angrily: "What books have you torn?" β
Seeing that the county lord was angry, he didn't dare to hide it, and said, "Yes...... "Four Books." β
The county lord was even angrier. He said again: "The third master said that foreigners can cross the ocean, and I rarely go to the sea, so it can be seen that the eight strands are cages and locked up people, and they are not as good as natural subjects." β
The county lord said: "Which dynasty does not study the slaves?" Without these books, how can you stand up for a certain future? Neither do you persuade and persuade, but instigate him all day long. β
He said: "I have persuaded Fusheng, and the second master saw it." The second master is still ...... I also helped the third master ......"
The county lord was so angry that he didn't know what to say, so he only sat down and took a deep sip of tea. Fortunately, Zhuang Qi led Sanxi and Huiyuan to come, and only then did he slightly dissipate the arrogance of the county lord, and then he had to leave.
Zhuang Qi listened to some things outside, and knew about Zhuang Jue's tearing of books.
At this time, Zhuang Qi bowed and comforted: "Mrs. is thinking about the third brother like this, he naturally understands." There are also whims, and it would be nice to find new books tomorrow. β
The county lord said: "You don't know him, how can you hold what you admit." I think he wants to be close to you, so you have time to say a few words to him. β
Zhuang Qi agreed, but she praised Zhuang Jue in her heart. In the south, I saw that there were many children from rich and noble families who were not interested in learning these books, but these princes and nobles in Kyoto still kept them, not to mention that these books were not good, but it was not necessarily a bad thing to change the strengths of others. Therefore, he treated Zhuang Ying differently and treated him with a few impressions.
The county lord said: "Last night, Ju'er came back from your place, and she was angry that she didn't eat dinner, and wanted to ask someone to ask you if you came, thinking that it was too late to go, and she was afraid of disturbing the old lady." β
Yu Qi apologized: "The third brother originally came to sit with Su Yuan Beizi, but he didn't know that his wife kept me for dinner, and I didn't go back, maybe I was angry waiting for no one to see." β
The county lord said: "Where is there such a stingy man." He said to the girl Baozhu: "Baozhu, go to the back garden to find him back." β
Yu Qi stopped: "Mrs. ......" for fear of blaming Zhuang Yu for what she just said.
Baozhu was about to go, but the county lord suddenly signaled not to go.
Yu Qi said: "Small things, why should my wife be angry in the morning." β
As he spoke, Yu Qi took out a handkerchief bag and opened it, and inside was the bracelet that the old lady had rewarded.
Yu Qi said: "This is the old lady's reward, I think it is precious, and after thinking about it, I still take it to my wife." β
When the county lord saw it, he excused himself and said, "Silly girl, you can take it from the old lady." β
Yu Qi said: "I thought, the old lady let me take it for the sake of my wife's face, and it should be handed over to you, my wife." β
Seeing that Zhuang Qi was so sensible, the county lord was very comforted, took her hand and changed his tone and said, "Son, it's rare that you are sensible and filial." This is good, you keep it, but not everyone has it. β
Seeing the opportunity, Yu Qi further said: "So, my daughter doesn't dare to stay." β
The county lord was about to continue, and Zhuang Ying came back from outside with Fusheng.
Zhuang Ying smiled and said to Zhuang Qi: "My sister is earlier than me." He also asked the county lord to salute and said, "Say hello to my wife." β
The county lord glanced at Zhuang Yu and deliberately asked, "What about your second brother?" β
Zhuang Jue said: "I went out early in the morning. Said to go and say hello to the old lady. β
The county lord sighed, showing half annoyance, and said, "Your second brother understands this reason, but you are behind." Look carefully for the old lady looking for you. I wanted to angrily reprimand him for tearing up the book, but I didn't mention it, so I lifted the old lady out to speak.
Zhuang Jue said deliberately: "The second brother is better than me now, and my wife is happy." I heard Si'er say that the second brother went to the field for several days, and was with several brothers from the Hanlin Academy, as well as several brothers from the outside of the hospital. I don't know if I lost or won! β
The county lord snorted, poked his finger directly on Zhuang Yu's forehead, and said, "Together with the gentleman, I hope to be more serious, and you don't persuade him." β
Zhuang Ying said aggrievedly: "Where is there anyone I persuade the second brother, only the second brother said me." β
The county lord said: "Looking at the age of growth, it is not worrying at all. In the future, he will end up like the big brother of Dongfu, and see how it ends. β
Zhuang Jue said: "The second brother won't!" The second brother is better with several brothers in the Hanlin Academy, because he fell in love with the brocade girl in the Hanlin Academy. β
The county lord was taken aback, showed joy, and said, "Oh? β
wanted Zhuang Jue to say it in detail, but he didn't say it, and stared at the bracelet in Yu Yu's hand.
Zhuang Jue said: "Why did my sister take off the bracelet?" β
Yu Qi had to wrap it in disguise.
The county lord replied, "Your sister took it to honor me, and I said that the old lady rewarded her and told her to keep it." β
Zhuang Jue said: "No, Bei Ziye is not good yet!" β
The county lord was surprised and said, "What does it have to do with Bei Ziye?" β
Zhuang Jue said: "Bei Ziye learned that his sister has this rare thing, and he also wants to make one or two to send Fujin." β
The county lord scolded: "Nonsense! His face was a little unsightly, Zhuang Jue thought that the county lord was angry with him, so he turned around and took Yu Qi's hand and ran out.
Who knew that what the county lord was worried about at the moment was not the bracelet, but her mother's family, Master Bei Suyuan, how could she be so close to Zhuang Qi? It's okay to take this file and lose your head, and now your mother's family is also involved, how about it?
Where can Zhuang Jura Zhuang Qi run? I went to the back garden.
Sanxi and Huiyuan followed.
After a while, Zhuang Jue led Zhuang Qi to a rockery pavilion, and took out a papier-mΓ’chΓ© kite from the top beam of the pavilion.
Zhuang Jue smiled and said: "Sister, I tried the kite I tied early, but I couldn't fly, you can help me take a look." β
Zhuang Qi took it, the paper was really the loose pages of those "Four Books and Five Classics", she didn't say anything else, took the kite and looked over and over. After a while, he said, "Haven't you ever made a kite?" β
Zhuang Jue scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I have always bought it outside, and I have never done it myself." β
Zhuang Wei smiled, and cut out two holes in the two wings of the pasted kite, Zhuang Wei saw that he was going to destroy his kite, and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Zhuang Jue said: "My sister doesn't like to tear it all up, so why bother to pick a hole to embarrass me." β
Zhuang Qi smiled: "You are too careful." And he took a new thread from his hand and reconnected it.
Zhuang Jue was speechless, stunned to see Zhuang Qi go online, and handed the kite to Hui Yuan, let Hui Yuan run away, and when the line was straightened and let go, the kite fluttered with the wind.
When Zhuang Jue saw it, he was so unhappy, he jumped and clapped his hands.
Zhuang Qi handed the thread to Zhuang Jue and said, "Have you ever seen Kong Ming's lanterns all sealed and able to fly?" β
Zhuang Jue took the line, pulled hard, let him fly higher, and replied: "You cut a hole in the Kong Ming lantern to see if you can fly?" β
Zhuang Qi said: "You still have to study natural science? β
Zhuang Yu was stunned for a moment and turned his head to stare at Zhuang Qi. Zhuang Qi covered his mouth and smiled. The smile at that glance did not make Zhuang Yu crazy, and the kite in his hand took off.
Zhuang Qi wanted to catch the end of the line, but he didn't have time, he twisted and slipped with one foot, and almost fell outside the pavilion, but fortunately, Zhuang Ling's eyes were fast, and a moon in the water held Zhuang Qi. Frightened, Sanxi who was behind screamed.
Zhuang Jue said: "Is there such a thing in natural disciplines? β
Zhuang Chu Chu looked at Zhuang Jue's bright eyes, and said embarrassedly: "Natural science also says that when an apple falls from a tree, it is called gravity. β
Zhuang Jue's hand holding Zhuang Qi shook slightly, and it softened, Zhuang Wei only felt that his body was slowly falling, and he fell on the railing, and tears fell from his eyes.
Zhuang Jue apologized again and again, and said, "My sister forgives my sins, my sister forgives my sins." "If you want to help, Sanxi ran over early, pushed Zhuang Yu away, and helped Zhuang Qi up.
Sanxi said distressedly: "Everyone in your family can't look down on my girl." β
Zhuang Jue didn't know the past, but felt that Sanxi was blaming himself, and apologized repeatedly. Seeing that Zhuang Qi was blushing and speechless, he said to himself: "I'll go and find the kite back." β
Saying that, Zhuang Yu shyly ran down the pavilion, and after a few steps, he ran into Zhuang Yu and the girl walking silently.
Zhuang Yu leaned over and let Zhuang Yu run over.
Zhuang Yu stopped, turned around to grab Zhuang Yu, and said, "Fourth sister, your sister Qi is above." I just fell, and you can help me say a few nice words. β
Zhuang Yu looked up, on the pavilion in the distance, Sanxi and Huiyuan were protecting Zhuang Jue, and then turned his head to look at Zhuang Jue, who had already run in the direction of Dongfu.
Zhuang Yu slowly walked up to the pavilion, Zhuang Qi heard the footsteps, turned his head, and just saw Zhuang Yu arrive.
Zhuang Qi didn't open Sanxi and rubbed the hand he had fallen, and got up to salute Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Qi said: "Why is the fourth sister here?" β
Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "Sister is not afraid of heat. As early as the old lady, I wanted to talk to my sister, and I scattered to see you go to Xifu, forget it. I just went to your mirror to see that there was no one, so I had to go back and see someone flying a kite here to take a look. β
Yu Qi went over and pulled Zhuang Yu to sit down, and said, "My sister said several times that she wanted to come to me, but I didn't see it. β
Zhuang Yu said shyly: "Every time I go back and think about it after I finish talking to you, I'm embarrassed." The fifth sister is almost her birthday, and I want to inform you, so ......"
Yu Qi held Zhuang Yu's hand, full of gratitude, and said: "Where is my sister, if I don't understand anything in the future, it will be difficult to ask my sister." When is Fifth Sister's birthday? β
Zhuang Yu said: "Two or five days"
Zhuang Qi calculated in his heart that it was almost there, and said with a smile: "That's close." "I want to ask their sisters how they celebrate their birthdays, think about it, and take the initiative to ask if I'm sorry.
Zhuang Yu lowered his head and smiled, and said, "On the girls' birthdays, the old ladies all refer to the play of one and two stations. β
Huiyuan, who was standing on the side, said: "I should give a gift to the birthday star." β
Zhuang Yuzan glanced at Huiyuan and didn't speak.
Zhuang Qi was very grateful, she was reminding her, otherwise it would be a shame if she really didn't understand these etiquettes that day.
Zhuang Qi said: "Thank you sister for coming to me, otherwise I really don't know." β
Zhuang Yu said: "The eldest sister is busy, the second sister and the third sister may have told you, I think, I will also tell you what it means to be a sister." β
Here, where did Zhuang Yu know that no one mentioned it to Zhuang Qi except her.
Yu Qi said: "Naturally, the eldest sister, the second sister and the third sister seem to have mentioned it, blaming me for not bothering to ask about the day." β
Here, how did Zhuang Yu know that Zhuang Qi's words didn't want to offend people, but wanted to show that he was close to her before asking her about the specific time, which was different from other sisters.
Zhuang Yu said: "On your birthday in the future, the old lady will give you such a lively time, and the third lady will give it to you." β
Yu Qi said: "My sister knows me, I am a very cold person, it doesn't matter if it's lively or not, it's good for my sister to be happy." β
Saying this, Zhuang Yu's girl interjected silently: "Among the girls in the day, the third girl is closer to our girl, and she doesn't like to be lively. Now that Miss Qi is like this, she has another companion. β
Zhuang Yu looked at the silence with reproachful eyes, and said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Then he changed his words and said, "I heard that Bei Ziye often goes to look for you, right?" β
Yu Qi was taken aback and said, "Who said this?" β
Zhuang Yu blushed and said, "I just saw it once or twice, and then I heard what they said." β
They? Who? Zhuang Qi's heart tightened suddenly, and there was an indescribable sourness.
Yu Qi said: "Oh, Master Bei is here to pour the mold, well, just for this." He took out the handkerchief and opened it to reveal the bracelet.
Zhuang Yu touched the bracelet and sighed: "The old lady really loves you." β
Zhuang Qi held Zhuang Yu's hand and patted it, and said, "The old lady also loves your sister, and there are other sisters and sisters." Deliberately pushed the bracelet to Zhuang Yu and said, "My sister likes to take it." β
Where did Zhuang Yu dare to ask for it, but he only promised: "How can I compare with the concubine." Naturally, it hurts to be a little more in-law. Sister put it away, it's precious. β
Yu Qi shirked again and again before letting Huiyuan put it away, reached out to hold Zhuang Yu's hand, and said, "My sister is serious, I am from outside." β
Zhuang Yu lowered his head and smiled shyly, just when he saw Zhuang Qi's bruised hand that had just fallen, he was very distressed and said, "I thought the third brother was joking." He blew at Zhuang Qi's hand.
Zhuang Qi didn't bother tightly, and looked in the direction where Zhuang Jue had just run. They didn't know that Zhuang Ying was tripped by a group of girls at the moment.
It turned out that Zhuang Jue followed the direction of the kite and went to the East Mansion to look for it, and saw a group of girls talking about Zhuang Qi's rights and wrongs in the garden behind the East Mansion. Roughly speaking, Zhuang Qi is an alien disaster star that plagues Zhuangfu. Where did Zhuang Jue hear these words, and asked the girls angrily.
When the bold girl saw that it was Zhuang Yu, she said a few words and said, "We didn't say it, but I want to blame the person who started it." β
Zhuang Jue is usually kind and pleasant, but he was really angry about Zhuang Qi's matter. When the girls saw that Zhuang Ying was really angry, they connected to apologize and dispersed.
At the end, Zhuang Jue said: "If you talk nonsense again, I will tell the old lady to go." β
The girl who usually does good things is afraid of being reported, so she turned around and begged: "Third master, spare us this time, don't dare next time." β
Zhuang Yu was soft-hearted, so he didn't pursue it. After the girls went, Zhuang Jue continued to look for the kite, looked inside, and went to Qinyuan.
When I arrived outside the Qin Garden, I saw the kite landing on the thin and tall peach tree from a distance, and the long line was on the top of the southern pear tree outside. He searched left and right for a long and short stick to pick, but the stick was not long enough, and he could not shake the tree. When he couldn't do anything, he climbed the peach tree.
At this moment, Uncle Zhuang came from afar.
Before Zhuang Ji arrived at the courtyard gate, he shouted loudly: "Bichi, Bichi!" β
Originally, Zhuang Jue was staggering on the tree, gathering his spirit to pick up a kite, and when he heard the shouting, he was startled, fell from the tree unsteadily, and passed out.
Zhuang Wei only heard a "poof" sound, looked back in fright, and saw that it was Zhuang Di.
At this time, Bi Chi and the girl Dan Xin came out of the room, and when they saw Zhuang Xuan, they were full of joy, and when they saw a person lying on the ground, they were so scared that they didn't know what to do.
Bi Chi grabbed Zhuang Ji's hand and shook it, "Master, what's going on?" β
Zhuang Di's face was afraid of change, and he hurriedly went to probe Zhuang Di's snort, and when he saw that there was anger, he was slightly relieved. He slowed down and beckoned to Danxin: "Hurry up and help, carry it in." β
After a while, Zhuang Xuan, Bichi, and Danxin carried Zhuang Ying into the house.
