In the inner room, the Qin family saw that Zhuang Ji was no longer troublesome, so he loosened his ties.

Zhuang Hu said: "Madam, do you really want to give the old lady back?" ”

Qin Shi said helplessly: "What if you go back?" ”

Cao's eyebrows raised, and said: "You should go back, the second master is unreasonable, where can I see my brother crying on the street!" So that the old lady let the third old man take care of it. ”

Aunt Xi was about to talk, but Zhuang Hu glanced at her and grabbed her, not allowing her to speak.

Zhuang Hu said: "The old lady is social, and it is not wrong for the second brother to go to the banquet to socialize, the old lady is at most vague in the past, and it is impossible to blame." But isn't it all the blame for the wife's side? ”

Qin said: "I don't know this truth. ”

After all, Aunt Xi couldn't hold her mouth and said angrily: "How do you talk like a big girl, dare you not be from the East Mansion." ”

Zhuang Hu glanced at Aunt Xi: "Auntie, why don't you understand, the eldest brother is from our house, and if something happens, it is naturally the wife's fault." In the final analysis, Dongfu didn't take good care of it, and when the old lady asked, it was Dongfu's fault! We still blame the Xifu people, not to find the old lady? ”

Cao Shi heard the meaning, changed the direction of the conversation and said: "What the eldest girl said is reasonable, since this is the case, just find the third wife to get some medicine." ”

Qin said: "I asked her to get medicine a few days ago, and she said no. This time I will send ...... again."

Cao Shi smiled: "That's it, the medicine is complete, can the uncle still get sick?" Someone has a heart! Just now, Guiyuan went to Jinghua Xie to find Miss Qi, and Miss Qi also said no. Who knows if it's going to be delivered by yourself? Who can say clearly in Xifu? ”

These words made the Qin clan speechless.

Zhuang Hu said: "It's better to have something than nothing." I hope the big brother will get better soon. Then he glanced at Aunt Xi fiercely and motioned for her to stop talking, but Aunt Xi understood and was silent.

Qin said: "I'm afraid this house can't be lived, you come to my side to clean up the room and take your eldest brother to me." ”

Zhuang Hu responded.

After talking for a while, it was all the Cao family's inferior minions, and then blamed Xifu, and at the end, it was about Yu Li's disaster star entering the mansion, and he said that Yu Qi was prosperous before entering the house, and after entering the house, the incident continued to be sorted out, and I had to mention how the old lady took a fancy to her and rewarded her with a valuable bracelet or something.

A few people seemed to understand what Cao meant, but they couldn't grasp what it meant.

Inside and outside the room, Yu Qi, who was originally delivering medicine, listened to it for a while and felt that it was really inappropriate to send it in. Therefore, I turned around and returned to the mirror to thank you.

After arranging Zhuang Hu's affairs, Cao and Zhuang Hu came out. The Cao family still chattered about Xifu's no, and Zhuang Hu didn't say anything. Cao Shi saw that it was not interesting, so he went back to Beifu and did not mention it.

Zhuang Hu returned to his yard in a distraught mood, but unexpectedly, Zhuang Yu and her girl Fu'er sat on the stone bench in the courtyard early and waited for her. As soon as she saw Zhuang Hu returning, she greeted her.

Zhuang Yu was full of apologies and said, "Big sister ......"

Zhuang Hu knew that Zhuang Yu was apologetic, because the second master was his brother, he was somewhat embarrassed.

Zhuang Hu said: "Why hasn't my sister gone back yet?" ”

Zhuang Yu said: "The eldest sister is still angry with the second brother? ”

Zhuang Hu said: "Where is it, the brothers and sisters in the house will be angry and gone." "It should be the same, and between sisters, they are not outsiders. So many years, so. For he said, "You will not have many hearts." ”

Zhuang Yu said: "Is the big sister also angry with me." ”

Zhuang Hu was afraid that there would be a disagreement, so he deliberately went over to hold Zhuang Yu's hand, and said kindly: "My sister thinks too much." And he said no more. Zhuang Yu saw that Zhuang Hu was in a dilemma because of Zhuang Hu's affairs, so he bowed and walked out.

Zhuang Yu was full of spirit, knowing that Zhuang Ji went to Qinyuan to find Bichi after he was released, Bichi also said that Zhuang Ji went out of her, and that something like that happened after she went out.

Who knows what Bichi did to her big brother?

So, Zhuang Yu came to Qinyuan in a huff.

It's so fast, it takes a long time to come over on weekdays, and this time it's coming in a flash. When they entered the courtyard, they did not call anyone, but went into the house in a straight way.

When I arrived at the house, I saw Danxin carrying a basin of water in and out.

Danxin bowed to Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Yu asked, "Where is your Bichi girl?" ”

Dan replied timidly: "In the kitchen." ”

Zhuang Yu hated: "What are you doing in the kitchen?" When it's done, no one will come to eat it. ”

Hearing Zhuang Yu's sharp voice, Bi Chi hurriedly came out of the kitchen, laughed at Mimi, beckoned her to sit down, and asked Danxin to put down her things and hurriedly go to clean her hands for tea.

Zhuang Yu was not polite, found a chair and sat down, and waited for the tea to come up, Fang took it with an angry face, took a small sip, and said, "What kind of tea is this!" "Quite disgusting.

Danxin whispered back: "It was sent by the eldest girl." ”

Zhuang Yu immediately stopped saying anything. Bichi Zhizhuang was angry, and at this moment, he smiled and waited for her to speak.

After a while, Zhuang Yu calmed down, took two more sips, put down the tea, and said to Bichi: "Let me ask you, the eldest brother has been here, why did he go out?" ”

How dare Bi Chi tell the truth, and arranged: "I'm not feeling well, and the uncle said that it was not appropriate to go to the house to get medicine, so I went out to ask for a doctor." ”

After hearing this, Zhuang Yu was furious, pointed to Bichi's face and said, "You...... Okay, you're a Bichi, you're really a Bichi. ”

After Zhuang Yu finished speaking, he got up and hurriedly left, only went out, turned back again, and said sharply: "I can tell you, if something happens to the eldest brother, you just wait!" ”

Bi Chi exclaimed: "What's wrong? ”

Zhuang Yu ignored it and ran away.

Bichi returned to her room and sat down melancholy.

Dan was on the side, complaining distressedly: "We shouldn't have come in." ”

Bi Chi said without a look: "What's the use of talking about this now. ”

After Zhuang Yu came out of Qinyuan, he was going back to Xifu. At the fork of Atrium Avenue, seeing Zhuang Jue hesitating, she knew that Zhuang Jue wanted to go to Yu Jue.

Zhuang Yu greeted: "The third brother wants to enter, walk around on the road, people can't see your sincerity." ”

Zhuang Ying smiled and said, "Fifth sister, you laugh at me." ”

Zhuang Yu said: "What does it have to do with me." Hmph left, Zhuang Yu was hesitant, and when he saw Zhuang Yu say this, he was even more embarrassed to go.

Zhuang Yu said: "Mrs. pointed to her to get the medicine, and if she doesn't have it, she won't say a good thing." We know what is the icing on the cake, and we never know what adds fuel to the fire. ”

Zhuang Jue said: "Where is my sister, Sister Qi is not that kind of person. ”

Zhuang Yu said: "Did I say her?" ”

Zhuang Yu really couldn't theorize about this vernacular, so he followed Zhuang Yu back to Xifu and didn't mention it. It just so happened that Zhuang Jue and Zhuang Yu, the two brothers and sisters were muttering outside, and they were seen by Sanxi.

Sanxi returned to Jinghua Xie, and said what Zhuang Jue and Zhuang Yu were muttering outside, which was also a two-by-three word, she didn't know whether it was clear or not, and it was not very important, Yu Qi listened to it vaguely, and did not keep it in her heart.

Sanxi said again: "I heard their discussion in the East Mansion, and the wife moved the uncle out of that house and went to live with the wife. The second aunt and grandmother were unwilling, and they said something bad behind their backs. ”

Yu Qi didn't care much about this, she knew that Sanxi was telling the truth, because she got along with some girls, and a few days ago she sent them some handkerchiefs or something, and it was easy to ask for a word.

Huiyuan said: "Fortunately, our medicine was not sent in today, so I am very happy." ”

Yu Qi said: "To send or not to send, it's all the same." ”

Sanxi heard that Yu Qi and Hui Yuan came back, and knew that they were talking about their coming. just said: "The second master of Xifu started up, Xifu has medicine and doesn't give it, what's the matter with our Zhongfu." These wives and grandmothers really don't have a tongue to chew for a day, and they are not happy for a day. ”

Huiyuan listened and smiled.

Yu Qi said: "The old lady knows? ”

Hui Yuan said: "I haven't seen any movement, I'm afraid I'm hiding it." If the old lady's temper is known, can she still be so pure? ”

Sanxi smiled coldly and said, "My girl, you don't know anything, the old lady doesn't know, and Sister Zhu'er, Mei'er, Lan'er, and Ju'er don't know?" If they don't know, the other errands don't know? ”

Hui Yuan glanced at Yu Qi worriedly.

Yu Qi smiled slightly and said, "Naturally." It reminds me of the last words of Master Bojing, when she said 'the void of ears and eyes'. Look, maybe there's something to say. ”

Hui Yuan said: "The girl plans to deal with it." ”

Yu Qi said: "Master Bojing also told me that I should respond to all changes with no change. It's better to be calm than anything. ”

Saying so, Huiyuan stopped persuading, and Sanxi didn't say anything. In the evening, Lan'er from the old lady's house came to invite her, saying that the old lady would have a banquet tonight, so let her go early.

Then to the palm lamp, to see a moment that is neither early nor late, Yu Qi led Sanxi and Huiyuan to live in Shouzhong.

Before entering the hall, I saw the girls holding boxes in and out, serving the fruits, serving the vegetables, and passing the soup. It is a scene of great swing.

When the girl outside the door saw Yu Qi, she bowed silently and invited her in.

When you get inside, you have to pass a screen, through the light, the shadows are more than enough to see a few tables of figures, all of them are like jade, the golden hairpin is scattered, and the brocade is shining. After passing the screen, I saw that everyone had arrived.

The ladies, Zhuang and the old lady have a table, the girls have a table, and the aunts have a table.

When Yu Qi arrived, everyone else was already seated.

When the county lord saw Yu Qi, he hurriedly said, "You go and have a table with the girls." ”

After Yu Qi finished saluting, he saw that the table was full, and there was no place left.

The old lady said, "Come and sit here, there is no gap over there." ”

The county lord smiled and said, "Then listen to the old lady." ”

The old lady said to the girl, "Mei'er, go and carry a chair, let me sit next to me." ”

Mei'er took the order, and carried the chair with a few girls. Zhuang Qi took a seat.

The old lady said, "I haven't eaten in one place for many days, it's lonely." I eat with the girl every day, and I can't say a word or two. Or with the wives, some words. ”

Qin said with a smile: "The girls and boys are in front of the old lady, and they can only listen to the old lady's words." ”

The old lady said: "I don't like this, if you want to teach and learn, it is your wife in the house, and the gentleman in the school!" I just have to eat well, drink well, and play well. I'll be happy if you want me to be happy. ”

Zhuang Ying on the side smiled with a smile on his face, made a fool of Yu Qi, and then said to the old lady: "Otherwise, I will come over to accompany the old lady every day." ”

The old lady said, "You're here, who will accompany you Lao Tzu Niang?" ”

Zhuang Jue said: "There are five sisters, two brothers!" ”

The old lady's face was displeased, and she said, "Hmph, your fifth sister is fine, but your second brother is useless!" Why don't you see you today? ”

The language stopped, and Xianglian, the girl in Zhuang Pu's room, stepped forward to bow and replied, "Back to the old lady, our second master and the master of the Hanlin Academy went to the banquet." Haven't returned yet. Our wife said, let me come along, so that I can talk back to the old lady. ”

The old lady squinted at Xianglian: "Are you Xianglian in his house?" ”

The county lord said, "Yes, old lady. ”

The old lady asked Xianglian, "Can your grandfather go for a day?" I've heard that I go to the casino with the masters in other courtyards all day long, and I don't form a unit! Since you are a man close to him, you do not persuade. ”

Xianglian lowered her head.

The old lady glanced at the Qin family, smiled slightly, and said, "Move the chopsticks!" ”

Everyone picked up the chopsticks and ate them, but the old lady didn't eat them, she raised the chopsticks, and her eyes swept around.

After eating for a while, the old lady said: "The old men are busy outside, and it should be a friendly foil inside." I see that the big girl works hard every day, and I feel distressed! ”

The old lady picked a few dishes and put them on the plate, and said to the girl next to her, Zhu'er: "Take it to the eldest girl, saying that the old lady feels sorry for her, she has worked hard." ”

Bamboo was served to Zhuang Hu.

Zhuang Hu took it, his eyes were red, and he got up to thank him: "Thank you, old lady." ”

Qin was very happy to see that the people in her house were praised, and took a spoon to add food to the old lady.

The old lady didn't shirk it, her happiness was piled up on her face, and she said to Qin: "I like this, add more." ”

Qin's food didn't stop before he added vegetables, and Cao's also got up to add vegetables to the old lady.

The old lady smiled and said: "Don't add those in Beifu, the world is far away, I know your filial piety." ”

Cao smiled and was satisfied. The old lady ate the dishes added by the Qin family, and gave them to Yu Qi and Zhuang Yu respectively on the plate.

The old lady said: "Now I don't manage the affairs of this mansion, it is the eldest girl and the eldest aunt's family who work, and the second master of the North Mansion is also working." It's also due, this family is not your own in the future, and it's better to be early than late. The queen mother in the palace often told me: When people get old, there is only one dirt bun left, and what else can you hope for. Before closing his eyes, he prayed for harmony and harmony in his family. ”

The county lord said: "The old lady has the love of the queen mother and the emperor, that is the old lady's blessing." ”

The old lady sneered: "Naturally, it is my blessing." Our generations of coatings are loyal to the emperor! Chungdae Qingguo! Without the emperor and the Qing Dynasty, where would you have today's duck and fish meat, as well as good wine to eat? Yu'er, full of wine, respects the second wife, saying that his master has worked hard. ”

The county lord didn't want Zhuang Jue to drink, and the old lady gave the county lord a blank look.

The old lady said: "Big and small, don't allow it!" ”

Zhuang Jue happily raised the wine to salute Cao's, and Cao's did not shirk and raised his mouth for a glass.

The old lady saw that she had drunk, so she said: "I originally wanted to respect the eldest lady first, but the eldest lady's house was not as hard as the second wife's house, so I gave her first." At this time, I will respect the eldest lady again. If nothing else, just for your Lao Tzu Niang and your second brother. ”

This is what everyone knows, and the old lady is reproaching the county bishop for having no way.

Zhuang Ying filled another glass of wine and raised it to salute.

Qin sat awkwardly, embarrassed to come.

When the old lady saw that she was not moving, she laughed, "Drink! I won't say anything if you don't drink it. ”

Seeing the old lady say this, Qin picked up the wine glass and threw it up.

The old lady didn't look at the others, and said to Zhuang Yu alone: "If you say that you are a big brother, I hate it, let Dongfu force him to take the fame test, and drive him crazy." Isn't your second brother? There are few men in our house, and now only you and your second brother are left, and your second brother is all out of the climate! All day long, swim three and play four, I can't help but throw my face in the future, my brother doesn't care, only cares about himself. ”

The county lord knew that the old lady had taken her Xifu knife, and he could only listen to it now.

Although the Qin family hated the coming of Xifu in their hearts during the day, at this moment, the old lady spoke so defensively, and when she saw the embarrassment of the county lord, the breath in her heart suddenly dissipated, and she hurriedly said to the old lady: "The old lady is all for the good of her children and grandchildren." It is doomed that the second master and the third master are excellent, and the second master and the third master are excellent. ”

The old lady snorted: "That's the people who talk with their eyes open, chew the root of their tongues, and don't know what to think about their bad stomachs." ”

Cao said with a smile: "Naturally, you have to look at my brother himself." ”

The old lady screamed, "Isn't it? It's just that Xifu is wrong, and his son has no way to discipline him! Hawks, drink with the wives again. Let them all think you're good! ”

Zhuang Jue happily agreed, poured wine and swirled among the wives, and at the request of the old lady, he went to give his aunt a table of salute, and then drank with the sisters.

It's just that I went to my aunt's table and paid tribute to my little aunt in Dongfu, which was quite a prevarication, and the Qin family was afraid of ruining the fun, so I asked her to drink it.

At the end of the day, I didn't eat much of the food on the table, but I drank all the wine, and I asked Mei'er to go inside twice during the period. After drinking, Yu Qi was afraid that Zhuang Jue would not support him, so he whispered in the old lady's ear: "The old lady has also drunk a lot, take care of your body." ”

In this way, the old lady gave up, let everyone disperse, and asked Yu Qi to send people out on her behalf.

After sending off the guests, I went back to the back room and told the old lady back. The old lady is washing her face and removing her head.

Yu Qi said: "The wives are all back." ”

The old lady said "um" and said, "How did you eat this meal?" ”

Yu Qi wondered the old lady's question, and said: "The food is delicious, and I have benefited a lot from listening to the old lady's words." ”

The old lady said, "It's not mine...... My son! You see, everyone in this house is united, and the wind and sun are beautiful. Behind the scenes, thorns and thorns, my old eyes are dizzy, and I can still see it clearly. ”

Yu Qi said: "What does the old lady mean......"

The old lady turned around with a smile: "I still praise you, it turns out that you don't know what I mean." ”

At this time, the girl Zhu'er came over to serve tea and said with a smile: "The old lady is far-sighted, and the girl naturally can't understand." The girl is smart and clever and can understand a thing or two, and we people who are stupid can't understand it. ”

The old lady pointed at Zhu'er and smiled: "If you look at this mouth, you will please me." ”

Zhu'er served tea, hung her legs to the old lady, and said, "Where is it to please the old lady, and what you say is sincere." ”

The old lady didn't manage her anymore, she just beckoned to Yu Qi, who came over, she grabbed her, patted her hand, and said, "Are you happy to see the eldest lady?" ”

Yu Qi smiled: "It's very happy to watch." ”

The old lady asked again, "What about the second wife?" ”

Yu Qi said: "I'm even happier than the eldest wife." ”

The old lady asked again, "What about the third wife?" ”

Zhuang Qi paused, revealing a look of embarrassment.

The old lady said solemnly: "If you have anything, just say it, there are no outsiders here." ”

Zhuang Qi said: "The old lady has good intentions, and the third wife warns the governments, and comforts the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the eldest lady and the second wife, and praises the talent of the eldest sister. Yes, it is appropriate. ”

The old lady was happy in her heart and sighed: "It's just that I wronged your third wife, you rush Ming'er to accompany her and say something good to her." Say I'm not sincere about her today. ”

Yu Qi nodded.

The old lady said to the girl Lan'er: "Lan'er, you can send some sobering soup to Xifu." The kid didn't know how much he drank, and he was unsteady when he left. ”

The girl Lan'er responded.

The old lady turned around again and said to Yu Qi: "It's late, go back to your room!" I see you've eaten some wine too, so you don't have to come over tomorrow to say goodbye. ”

Yu Qi came out of the old lady and thanked Jinghua back, and when she went out, she happened to see Lan'er carrying a box and preparing to go to Xifu with a girl holding a lamp.

Yu Qi quietly grabbed Lan'er and said, "Sister Lan'er, what does your decanting soup taste like?" ”

Lan'er looked at Yu Qi strangely, and couldn't help laughing: "The girl is also drunk?" Want to ask for a bowl to eat? ”

Yu Qi said shyly: "Sister, you know me, where have you taken a few sips?" In the old days, I heard my old family say that eating sour soup when drunk can be reduced. ”

Lan'er frowned and said, "Hu Wei medicine smells, put sugar." The third master doesn't like to eat acid. ”

Yu Qi said: "Sister, I didn't say it." "Shyness is gone.

Lan'er shook her head and carried the box to Xifu. When I arrived in Xifu, I happened to see the county lord taking care of Zhuang Ting, who was lying on top of a basin and vomiting.

As soon as Lan'er was introduced, she smiled and said, "Third wife, the old lady asked me to send a sobering soup." Exactly. ”

The county lord said politely: "Yo, I'm sorry to bother you." ”

Lan'er looked at Zhuang Ying quite seriously and said, "It should be." The third master can't drink clearly. He opened the box, brought out the soup, and said, "This soup is warm, just drink it and go to sleep." ”

The county lord said gratefully: "You are careful, no wonder the old lady left you alone." ”

Zhuang Jue ate the soup, and Lan'er said a few words of relief, and then helped him into the house.

Lan'er said to the county lord: "It can also be seen that the old lady is drinking high today, not the third wife." ”

The county took the initiative and said, "I know. ”

Lan'er said: "Please don't mind the old lady in your heart." ”

It's over, Lan'er quit Xifu and returned to Zhongfu. Until the next night, there was an accident in Dongfu, and the Qin family sent Hong'er to report it quickly, and it was Lan'er's vigil outside, so he heard what was going on, and hurried in, because he saw that the old lady had drunk wine and was sleeping soundly, so he didn't dare to disturb it, so he only woke up Zhu'er and Mei'er outside. The two of them were in a daze, and when they heard that, they woke up in a hurry.
