Chapter 19: Calm Tone, Great Sadness

Zhuang Pu and others rushed to the customs office to ask for help from Mr. Falsford.

The customs office asked the four people to wait outside the door and take the letter and go in. After waiting for a long time and no one came out, Zhuang Pu was a little anxious, and after waiting for a while, the servant inside came out and said that Mr. Steft was going out because he was going out, and I was afraid that he would not be able to help with this matter.

This customs office Falte was originally a subordinate of Hurd, a senior member of the General Department of Customs, and they were not nationals of the Shangguo of Shenzhou, but the people of the overseas Sherlock Holmes country. In the eighth year of Emperor Feng, Sherlock Holmes used commercial communication to cross the sea, racking his brains to occupy the Lingnan territory of Shangguo in Shenzhou, trying to occupy the territory.

After the occupation of Lingnan, the officials recommended to the emperor and the empress dowager, and hired Hurd to join the customs to help the Celestial Empire deal with the affairs of various countries. As a result, Hurd resigned from the Consulate and joined the Deputy Department of Taxation of Lingnan Customs. Within a few years, he was promoted to the rank of Customs and Excise Department with Hurd's efforts to be honest and powerful. In just a few years, Hurd has been continuously promoted to the rank of official: according to the inspection of the third rank, the political envoy from the second rank, until the first official position in the first two years. Therefore, the Hurd official was busy with major affairs, and he was on business in Songhu and Kyoto on a daily basis, and the customs office was handed over to his assistant Si Ford to take care of.

As Hurd's help, this Chef not only handled all kinds of things in Kyoto for him, but also handled the recent foreign education case compensation negotiation for Ashang. Therefore, he is very attentive, and often goes in and out of the palace gate, so he naturally has a relationship with the emperor and the master of Zhen. And Master Zhen admires the foreign very much, likes foreign things, especially the black box that can shoot portraits, thanks to Ford's careful guidance, he naturally became friends with him. When there was a request outside the palace, she happened to bump into it, and when she met in front of others, she showed off her social relationship, and she responded to this matter. In addition, Master Zhen and the Queen Mother are not very close, and the Queen Mother is very fond of Mr. Miao, and she also wants to take this opportunity to sell her personal favor to Mr. Miao, so that she can say a few kind words in front of the Queen Mother.

Who would have thought, Steft was busy negotiating about the reparations of foreign education cases in various countries, and he had no time to spare.

At present, Zhuang Pu thought that the foreigners were shirking, so he scolded Master Zhen with dissatisfaction. Su Yuan, Zhuang Yu, and He Hongzao were afraid of causing trouble, so they hurriedly pulled him back home.

When he returned to Yage, Zhuang Pu didn't tell them about it, but only asked Ayu straight to the point: "Miss Yu, you told me, this heart is dug up, how to put it on Mr.?" ”

When the rest heard him say this, their faces were as frightened as dust.

Wei Ayu said: "This heart has to dig up the hearts of the living, if it is the dead, it will not be used." At this time, it is the right time to dig it out and bury it with ice and snow. Send it back to me, and I'll have my own way to put it on. ”

Zhuang Pu said: "Okay." If you can't ask for anything, I'll ask for it myself! No matter what, you have to dig one or two and come back to use, girl, you wait to pick. ”

Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Yu were so frightened that they hurriedly pulled Zhuang Pu: "Brother, whose heart are you going to dig up?" ”

Zhuang Pu smiled: "Who else?" Naturally, there are people who are distracted. ”

Su Yuan said: "Breaking the law, you dig people's hearts, you want people's lives, how can others live?" ”

Zhuang Pu said to Ayu: "They reminded me. Girl, dare to ask me to take that person's heart and exchange it for a wolf's heart and a dog's heart, can I make it? ”

Ayu was slightly stunned.

Zhuang Pu said: "Girl, don't worry, those individuals should exchange their wolf hearts and dog hearts." ”

He Hongzao thought that a few people were laughing and easing the atmosphere, so he interrupted Zhuang Pu and said: "The second master is also laughing and angry because of the unsatisfactory encounter outside, and he scares people." ”

Zhuang Pu snorted and stopped talking. Zhuang Yu and Su Yuan, Zhuang Yu, and Yu Qi looked at each other, not knowing what to do, thinking that Zhuang Pu was angry in his heart and deliberately said so.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Pu remembered the painting with his cousin, so he said to Zhuang Jue: "Although I helped my cousin, I didn't make any effort in the end, he wanted the painting, and you asked the old lady to go." Let him and Hongzao take it to him. ”

Zhuang Yu thought about it, so he told Su Yuan and the others to watch Zhuang Pu and go to Shouzhongju to ask for paintings.

It's easy to draw from Shouchu Ju. Zhuang Jue didn't go to see the old lady when he arrived at Shouzhongju, but only quietly found Mei'er, who was in charge of the warehouse. His thousands of sisters begged. Mei'er is a little woman, with a high heart, and only the serious master in the house is heard. On the three young masters in the house, the most intimate one belongs to the third master, so Zhuang Yu begged, and she answered.

Mei'er said: "I don't have the courage to sneak in to get the inventory for you, otherwise, I will go and tell the old lady first." If you want to take it or carry it, I will just cooperate to open the door for you. ”

Zhuang Jue said: "I'll borrow it to see, it's Su Yuan who came, he hasn't seen it." It's all to blame for my unsteady mouth, saying that he knows, if I can't take it out, I won't give jokes in the past? And Hongzao is also there! At that time, it is nothing to lose my own face, so that the Hongzao Mansion looks down on the North Mansion, so I will lose the face of the third girl and his wife! ”

These words reminded Mei'er that Su Yuan is Beizi, and He Hongzao is the third aunt of Beifu. Mei'er is secretly close to Beifu, and this face must always be taken care of. So, talking about life and death, let Zhuang Jue set up an IOU before she was willing to obey.

In this way, Zhuang Jue got Mr. Miao's hand-painted work and went to Accord.

On this side, Mei'er heard that he and Hongzao came to the house, so she hurried to the north mansion to find Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying to tell them. Who knows, Zhuang Xuan is a good thing, and he felt that the brothers in Xifu were looking for someone to play him, so he led Zhuang Ying to go angrily, and there was a tendency to make trouble.

Zhuang Yingyuan refused to go, ashamed. But Zhuang Xuan said: "What are you afraid of, let's go in a dignified manner, not more secretly than them?" ”

Sure enough, when Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying rushed to Xifu, they couldn't find anyone, and only after asking did they know that they were in Yage. He quietly rushed to Accord.

When I arrived at the Accord, before I entered the courtyard, I heard Zhuang Di's exclamation in amazement: "You guys hold him up." How did you give it to him? Listen carefully, and hear Zhuang Yu say: "Sister Yu, I don't want to let the second brother save Mr. Even if he goes, he'll have to take me with him. Ah! ”

Zhuang Xuan motioned for Zhuang Ying and the girl to walk lightly. She stepped up the steps first, and jerked open the curtain to enter.

I wanted to intimidate the people inside.

But when she went in and saw a room full of people, all of them looked sad, and she was dumbfounded. Then, Zhuang Ying and the girl came in.

Everyone was surprised to see Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying's sisters. Zhuang Qi said again and again: "Yo, it's complete." Seeing Ayu wiping his eyes and avoiding it, he saw someone lying on the kang again, and said with a smile: "Is Mr. back?" ”

The crowd barely relented, so no one answered.

Zhuang Xuan's eyes moved away from the kang, cast on Su Yuan, covered his mouth with a handkerchief shyly, and saluted Su Yuan.

Su Yuan and He Hongzao returned the salute, and Yu Qi also followed the salute.

Zhuang Yu said: "Why did the second sister and the third sister come?" "Go out and lift the curtain and look outside.

Zhuang Qi didn't greet Ayu, but only turned to Zhuang Yu: "If you sneak like this, you must not be doing any good things." Only then did he hook his head and say to Ayu: "Mr. is cold?" The cover is so thick. ”

Ayu bowed and wiped her tears.

Seeing this, Zhuang Qi relented. Zhuang Ying walked up to Yu Qi, glanced at He Hongzao with a red face, then turned his face to look at Mr. Guan, and whispered to Yu Qi: "Why didn't you invite a doctor?" ”

Yu Qi shook his head. Zhuang Ying realized this, and quickly closed her mouth, revealing a worried look.

At this time, Zhuang Jue sighed and stomped his feet, and grabbed Su Yuan: "Go!" ”

Su Yuan didn't know where Zhuang Ying was going to take him, so he went. When Zhuang Ju saw Su Yuan, he was unwilling to let him go, so he stopped Zhuang Yu: "Where is this going?" ”

Zhuang Jue said: "Second sister don't care. ”

Zhuang Xuan "hummed" and said, "I didn't ask you again." ”

Zhuang Xuan was angry, stood aside to make way, and Zhuang Xuan pulled Su away.

So, Zhuang Qi snorted and said, "I don't know what it means, just leave when you see me coming." Come back, sir, you are a group of people, and you don't invite us. Quite bored, he glanced at He Hongzao and said, "I think you want to be the uncle of Xifu." ”

After speaking, Zhuang Xuan rolled his eyes and turned to go out, ignoring the people in the house.

Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Ying had inexplicably red faces and lowered their heads.

He Hongzao was embarrassed and smiled: "This ...... If they go, I'll ......."

Zhuang Yu snorted: "You go too!" Be your uncle in Beifu! While speaking, he pushed Zhuang Ying, and in an instant, Zhuang Ying was pushed to the edge of Hehongzao and almost fell over.

He Hongzao was shy and dodged, but fortunately, Zisu and Sanxi quickly supported Zhuang Ying.

Zhuang Ying said angrily: "What is the fifth sister doing!" ”

Zhuang Yu said with a cold face: "Mr. is still lying down, he doesn't care about them all, he runs and walks." Open up and tell people that our family is so hospitable? I'm not afraid of outsiders laughing at me! ”

Saying this, Zhuang Yu burst into tears. Yu Qi wanted to speak out in relief, and saw Zhuang Yu saluting to Ayu and said, "Sister and Mr. are waiting, no one is calling and managed, I will take care of it." I'll go back to the old lady and tell the old lady to go. ”

Yu Qi hurriedly grabbed Zhuang Yu and said, "Why is my sister angry. The brothers are in a hurry, and the second sister still doesn't know what's going on, so she should understand. My sister doesn't look at the situation of the jade girl, but also at the situation where the husband is lying. ”

Governor Yu Qi went out, and there would be chaos in the house, which was a kind reminder. Who knows, Zhuang Yu hated and said: "Sister Yu stayed to save my sister that day, but now my sister is all right, but I forgot about it?" said that I was angry, but my sister was not angry? I didn't know my sister could endure it like this. ”

Yu Qi choked.

Zisu couldn't look at it, and said: "The fifth girl's words are heavy, if my girl is not worried about not thinking about her kindness, why do you still run here in the middle of the night?" ”

Yu Qi immediately said: "Zisu! ”

Zi Su said coldly: "Mr. is not good, who is not worried." I'm still running on your back and forth, girl! If it weren't for the fact that our girl had a jade girl and a husband in her heart, and the second master was angry at me, I would have gone back a long time ago. Now it is really wrong to say that I am a girl. ”

Zi Su held back the fire in his belly, before Yu Su returned to the mirror flower to take the lantern worm, he was pulled by Zhuang Yu to move the bedding, and when he moved to the Accord, Zhuang Pu disliked Zi Su's slow hands and feet, and accused Zi Su of not knowing how to care and being unkind, but he didn't scold Zhuang Yu for anything, and turned around to blame Yu Yu for teaching without a way. At that time, if it weren't for Zhuang Pu's concern for Mr. and his anxiety, and for understanding Yu Li's situation, Zisu would have gone back on the spot.

Now, Zhuang Yu's words hurt Yu Qi, and Zi Su couldn't bear it anymore and expressed his grievances.

He Hongzao held a scroll of paintings, neither walking, nor not leaving, and said with a smile: "The girls are discouraged." ”

Zhuang Yu took care of the loss, after all, he couldn't hold his face with such a subordinate as Zisu, snorted, and said to the girl Fu'er: "Fu'er, let's go!" ”

Yu Qi was afraid that Zhuang Yuzhen would report to the county lord and others, so he hurriedly ran out to chase him.

When I got outside, I saw Zhuang Yu standing in the snow, crying on his back.

Yu Qi approached, apologized first, and said, "My girl has a stubborn temperament, I'll teach her well when I go back." Sister, don't go to your heart. ”

Zhuang Yu was aggrieved: "Who can I be angry with and whose heart can I go to?" I can't say any of them. But I love these things, and I can't advance or retreat better than my sister's identity. ”

In the words, Zhuang Yu was sad that his background was not good, he was born by his aunt, and his words were so resisted, he was not paid attention to, he was not adopted, and his position was not serious.

Yu Qi comforted: "My sister thinks too much. We all have the same heart, we are all a family, how can there be dissenting words? Sister, don't go to your heart. It's cold outside, come back to the house with me! ”

Zhuang Yu did not move.

Yu Qi said: "I know that my sister's heart is the truest. In the past two days, my sister's words and deeds have really touched me. It is said that Mr. and Miss Yu have nothing to do with their sister, and her sister can be treated like this, because her sister is generous and warm-hearted. Hold Zhuang Yu's hand to protect the warmth, and then said: "My sister's personality, I want me to say a fair word, which is more real than us people." Since my sister is real, we should let everyone be down-to-earth. My brothers are out, and I'm worried, so my sister shouldn't go! Otherwise, I don't know what to do if I stay here. ”

Zhuang Yu was moved, still wooden.

At this time, Sanxi came out with an umbrella. Yu Qi recognized, took the umbrella in his hand, and covered Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu was moved: "Sister, go back!" ”

Yu Qi smiled, took her hand and walked up the steps.

When he arrived at the door, Zhuang Yu refused to go in, and said, "I don't know what happened to the second brother and the third brother." ”

Yu Qi's eyes were full of worry, and he stood up with Zhuang Yu, and looked at the snow outside the house in a daze.
