The two came to Shouzhongju.

The old lady's headache worsened again, and she didn't go to the temple to worship the Buddha and listen to the scriptures early this morning. Seeing her today, she changed her dress to a simple outfit, because the weather was close to summer and hot, Zhu'er changed her forehead around the summer. When Yu Qi and Zisu came in, they saw her crooked on the kang, and Zhu'er wiped her forehead after changing it, and was waiting for her to take medicine at the moment.

Because she heard that the little girls were coming, the old lady knew that Yu Qi was coming, so she hurriedly raised her hand to let Zhu'er take the bowl away, got up and sat down by herself, and waited for Yu Qi to enter.

Yu Qi entered, bowed more solemnly than before, and knelt down to say goodbye.

When the old lady saw this, she was full of joy and told her to get up again and again.

Zisu helped Yu Qi to get up.

The old lady said to her, "Come and sit with me." Yu Qi went over and sat next to her, for a while, the little girl brought tea, and Zhu'er picked it up and gave it to Yu Qi, Yu Qi took it, her eyes showed a smile, and she thanked her. The old lady said at that time: "I heard that you are playing in Beifu, and my wife will keep you for a few days." How do you get along with your sisters over there? ”

Yu Qi pretended to be shy, and said: "The second sister and the third sister treat me very well, give me good food, good drink, and good use." If I hadn't wanted to come back and say hello to the old lady, I wouldn't have been willing to leave! ”

The old lady twisted Yu Qi's cheek and said, "Look, climb the high branches." After suffering from the monkey head in Xifu a few times, Zhu'er also helped him go to the mirror to see it! I said what to see, people in Beifu said back and forth, keep the girl for a few days. Why did you lie to him? Why didn't he go to Beifu and look for it here, isn't it embarrassing? ”

Zhu'er said: "The third master said to look for a girl, according to my reality, he came to see the old lady with filial piety." ”

As she spoke, the old lady smiled very happily.

Yu Qi felt sad in his heart, but he didn't show it, he only smiled: "That day, it rained, and I didn't make it clear to the third brother." He thought I was back and said he was looking for me to get something. No, it's a problem for the old lady and the sisters in the old lady's house. ”

The old lady smiled, and Zhu'er said again: "It's not troublesome." It is to run errands for the grandfather, and to move the muscles and bones for the old lady. ”

The old lady smacked Zhu'er and said, "Turn around and scold me for being lazy!" Listen to the mouth catch up with Mayer's hooves. A thief is powerful. ”

Zhu'er blushed.

When Yu Qi and Zisu heard Mei'er, their faces were slightly gloomy, and they deliberately looked around, but they didn't see her.

Yu Qi said: "Where did Sister Mei'er go?" ”

The old lady said strangely: "You don't ask her, yesterday, your cousin from Xifu came and came to ask me for peace, and your second brother also came with his cheek, and he thought he was going to ask me for peace, but he didn't know to ask me for the silver." In the end, we are not allowed to let him know. Your second brother likes to mess with the people below, Mei'er's hooves are not serious, tearing off the jade ring he wears, he is angry, I can't bear it today, so I asked Mei'er to find a piece from the treasury and return it to him. Perhaps, Mei'er has gone to Xifu, what are you looking for her to do? ”

Yu Qi smiled: "Oh! I want to thank her. I went to Beifu for a few days, and she sent a message to our son. Otherwise, you can die in a hurry. ”

When the old lady heard this, she smiled faintly, glanced at Zisu, and said, "It's okay, Zisu is not more lively than Sanxi, and she is a little colder." Who knows, my heart is so hot. I was also relieved. ”

Down, the old lady likes to talk and laugh, and Yu Qi listens, pretending to be happy. Zisu stood aside and listened, very anxious, I don't know what Yu Qi is doing when he comes to Shouzhongju this time, he has no purpose, he wants to talk about the key points to report, and he didn't mention a word.

At the end, Yu Qi cared about the old lady and said, "The old lady is uneasy, so let's worship the Buddha in the house, and I don't think it will be beneficial to the body if you walk day by day." With good medicine, it is also necessary to calm the mind and recuperate. ”

Of course, the old lady understands that saying that worshipping the Buddha is just an act of concealing people's eyes and ears, so why bother? She was genuinely concerned about the old lady's condition.

The old lady said: "Believe in Buddhism to be sincere, and sincerity is spiritual." See you every day, calm down every day. If you don't see it for a day and a half, no matter how good the medicine is, it will be difficult to bless it. You say, isn't it? ”

Yu Qi was moved, and it was difficult for the old lady to focus on herself, in order to see the nun of Chunguang.

Coming out of Shouzhongju, Zisu couldn't help but ask Yu Qi: "Look, you can't wait to come, I think you want to say something." Why don't you mention it? ”

Yu Qi said: "After seeing it, I know what to do next." Just talking about it, expecting others to do things for you, does my sister feel unreliable? In other words, the old lady's art industry is focused on keeping the pure light and finding her sleeping brother, and then there is the spiritual energy to raise her, and we will do the rest by ourselves. Even if we can't be happy, we can't watch the tiger fight from afar. ”

Zisu excitedly said, "Do you have an idea?" ”

Yu Qi said with a smile: "The idea is to wait for Sanxi to return safely, and for the rest, watch the East Mansion and the North Mansion sing big dramas." In the end, we hope that the old lady is good, and some people hope that she is not good. ”

Zisu was puzzled and said, "The more you talk about me, the more confused I become." ”

Yu Qi was still smiling and didn't agree. Out of the courtyard of Shouzhongju, go straight to the outside of the middle house.

Zisu asked again, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Yu Qi said: "Dongfu." ”

Zisu said deflatedly: "You shouldn't go to Dongfu, how far away from the little aunt is, how far away you can be." Dongfu and Beifu, right and wrong, you still go to these two places, looking for death and death! ”

Yu Qi said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?" Sister, don't worry, I'll go to Dongfu for nothing else, I'll find my sister-in-law. I don't care about the rest. ”

Hearing that she went to find the eldest grandmother, Zisu's face darkened.

Yu Qi knew that she had a problem in her heart, and comforted: "Sister should let go of her prejudices." Since my sister-in-law has become a sister-in-law, isn't it all my idea? If you blame her, you blame me. ”

Zisu smiled: "It's up to you!" From now on, I will treat her as the grandmother of Zhuangfu. I'm afraid that the girl will be indecisive, love to drill into the past, and suffer losses in the future. I'm sure to follow, who told me to be miserable. Girl, you also said that since your sister-in-law has become a sister-in-law, then she is from Zhuangfu. Girl, think about it, are the people in the Zhuang Mansion reliable? ”

Yu Qi seems to be awakened, but she still believes in her heart that Huiyuan is the Huiyuan who lives and dies with herself, and it will not change, if Huiyuan changes, what good will it do to her? Of course, what benefit does it do to Huiyuan, the new grandmother of Zhuangfu, to obey himself and bring down the Zhuang Mansion?

In the past, Yu Qi thought that she and her grandmother shared weal and woe, and if she had emotions, she believed her. Now Zisu's words also make sense.

All the way to Dongfu.

Yu Qi suddenly remembered that the old lady said that Beizi Suyuan had come, and she asked Zisu with a smile: "Su Yuan came to Jinghua yesterday to thank you?" Why didn't I mention it? ”

Zisu said vaguely: "Come on...... Here it comes. After standing for a while, I said you were not with him and left. ”

Seeing Zisu's unnatural face, Yu Qi thought of the mandarin duck she embroidered last night, and said, "Could it be that Su Yuan wants my sister to embroider mandarin ducks?" ”

Zisu was ashamed and angry, slapped Yu Qi's hand, and said, "Nonsense! ”

Yu Qi didn't say anything, the two of them made a fuss, and finally arrived at the gate of Dongfu. Get started, turn straight to the rolling garden.

I happened to bump into Zhuang Yu under the corridor leading to the rolling garden. It was Zhuang Yu who saw the master and servant of Yu Qi first, and she deliberately dodged. Coincidentally, Yu Qi saw her and hurriedly went up to greet her.

Because Yu Qi lied to Zhuang Yu last time, Zhuang Yu had a prejudice against her, and this matter has not been solved in her heart. Now, if you want to avoid Yu Qi, this is exactly the reason.

How did Yu Qi think of that incident, or as usual, he grabbed Zhuang Yu and said, "Is my sister going to see my sister-in-law?" ”

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Zhuang Yu turned around and gave Yu Qi a small salute, just nodding.

Yu Qi said: "I'm going to see my sister-in-law too, let's go together!" ”

Zhuang Yu said: "Sister go first, my things are left in the house, I have to go back to get them, and I'll go back later." ”

After speaking, Zhuang Yu Yingying turned away with careful steps.

Seeing Zhuang Yu so cold, Yu Qi felt a sense of loss in his heart, and couldn't help but recall the scene in the Red Mansion that day. In the end, how did I offend her? She wasn't like that before. Deep conjecture: Could it be that something happened to the little aunt and her brother?

sighed, and secretly settled in my heart: It's just right, ask my sister-in-law!

Entering the Rolling Garden, as usual. Outside the courtyard where the grandmother lived, I heard a cheerful chirping of birds. Yu Qi is strange, how come there were not so many birds in the past, this time, just like spring and summer, the return of a hundred birds, so lively.

Walking inside, I saw two rows of wooden poles in the courtyard, and there were neat bird cages hanging on the crossbars, cages of various colors, some covered with black cloth, some open, and the open cages were inhabited by one bird or two, and they could not name the objects, and they looked very beautiful, and the closer they got closer, the more crisp and moving their voices became.

Looking from a distance along the wooden frame of the crossbar, there are several people on the side of the steps under the door of the hall. I saw clearly, Uncle Zhuang Wei was sitting on the stool, and the grandmother was behind him, and there were several girls with beeswax and ice pears standing on the side, one of them holding a hand towel, and the other holding a grate and a head rope tie, not far away, Zhuang Xu's second-room aunt and grandmother sat on a chair, looking at Zhuang Wei and the grandmother in a daze.

It turned out that Zhuang Wei got up early and said that his head was itchy, so the grandmother asked someone to bring water to grate his hair. Right now, the family is surrounding Zhuang Ji in the courtyard.

The eldest grandmother first used a large grate to smooth her hair, and then exchanged it for a small grate from Bingli's hand.

Seeing such a scene, Yu Qi was timid, did not dare to disturb lightly, and watched from afar. I vaguely heard their family talking something, although they didn't show great joy, but they were also happy.

Uncle Zhuang said: "The well water in my yard is good, and the rainwater outside smells of it, and some people use it to wash their hair." Two days ago, when I was out shopping, someone caught the rain to make tea, and lied to me that it was the ice and snow water that had accumulated ten years ago, thinking that I didn't know. Aged ice and snow, how can there be a fishy smell? I really lied and didn't write the manuscript, thinking that I was sick in my old home, and my brain was not good, so my nose couldn't move. ”

The aunt in the second room smiled: "Uncle loves these people on weekdays, and he is used to them, they are used to them, they accept it, and use crooked goods to prevaricate you, so he must treat him as a fool!" ”

Zhuang Ji snorted, his head shook, and said, "I can see it, who is the fool?" I scolded them fiercely, these faceless ones didn't dare to stand up, and the baba changed it for me again, and said that this was with my daughter Hong, who had been buried for many years, and my daughter was red before she opened the soil, so she dug it first. I didn't let them cook it first, but I came and looked at it, and when I saw it, it had been soaked for a while, and there were insects floating in the water, and the insects were alive, and they were playing and playing, and if you really saw them, don't mention how disgusting they were. ”

Auntie said, "Did you eat it?" ”

Zhuang Ji smiled: "Eat! I watched them eat. I didn't eat it. ”

After speaking, Zhuang Ji laughed, because the movement of his head was too big, his hair was stuck on the grate. The grandmother pinched the grate and pressed his hair, like a wild horse for a while.

Because the movement was too big and it hurt, Zhuang Ji turned his head and blamed: "Be slower with your hands and feet, it hurts grandpa." ”

The eldest grandmother apologized with a smile and said, "Tell me not to move, I don't stop moving." When you speak, you speak, and your head follows the words. Fortunately, it's a comb, if a bucket of water comes down and pours it down, won't it rain all around? ”

Zhuang said: "There is a lot of rain this year. You don't know that some of the countryside outside has been accumulated by rainwater, and the rivers are so narrow that they cannot retreat, and many houses are hidden. Now when you go out into the streets, you will see many people. ”

The eldest grandmother smiled: "What does it have to do with people and water?" ”

Zhuang said: "I thought you read a lot and knew a lot." I didn't expect you to be a sheep's head dog meat, jade outside the wood. People and water are the relationship between the boat and the boat, do you say it's the relationship? In other words, we can't do without water, how can we cook without water? How to cook tea and wine? As I said again, there is a lot of rain, flooding and flooding, flooding the villages and villages, and those who are poorer have no land, no houses, no food, can they not come to Kyoto to ask for food? How can it be one or two when you come to ask for food? That's the whole village going out. ”

Saying this, the aunt and grandmother said "oh", as if they suddenly understood.

Hearing this, Yu Qi turned his head and glanced at Zisu, motioned to turn around and go out, and decided not to see the eldest grandmother.

Who knows, Zhuang Xu's eyes glanced at him, and he just saw Yu Qi dangling from among the leaves, so he asked strangely: "Who is that person?" ”

The aunt and grandmother were puzzled, and they all followed Zhuang Ji's eyes, but there was no one in sight.

Beeswax was smarter, chased out quickly, and when he went over there, he saw that it was Yu Qi and Zisu. They're leaving.

Beeswax didn't make a sound, so I came back to report first, and when I heard the newspaper, the grandmother handed over the grate to Beeswax and asked her to comb the uncle's hair, so I went to chase it first.

About to chase out of the gate to catch up with Yu Qi.

The eldest grandmother exhaled: "Girl." ”

Yu Qi stopped, his face was full of embarrassment, and slowly turned around to salute the eldest grandmother. The eldest grandmother hurried down and said, "Why did the girl come in and leave?" ”

Yu Qi smiled: "Seeing that your family is happy, I can't bear to disturb it." Sister-in-law, go back, big brother is waiting for you to comb your hair. ”

The eldest grandmother blushed and kept looking back at the door, and then pulled Yu Qi to the side, and said, "Is there something wrong with the girl coming here so early?" ”

Yu Qi said: "It's nothing, take a walk and relax." I didn't want to walk to my sister-in-law as soon as I left. ”

The eldest grandmother looked at Zisu with a worried look, but Zisu didn't look at her, only looked away.

The eldest grandmother thought for a moment and said, "Then, Miss Su and the girl will come together, the uncle's hair is almost finished." I asked her to make some warm tea. ”

Zisu replied coldly: "Summer is approaching and it's hot enough, grandma don't be busy." If there is ice, take some ice to relieve the heat, and warm tea should be heartburned? ”

The eldest grandmother hung her head and laughed, speechless.

When Yu Qi heard Zisu's words, she pushed her down, and then said to the eldest grandmother: "Sister-in-law, go back!" ”

After that, Yu Qi took off her grandmother's hand and pulled Zisu away. After passing the cobblestone path, going out to the moon gate, and when he arrived at the moon gate, Zisu said: "I don't understand you more and more, I obviously came to talk to her, and I have to leave after standing for a while." What are you afraid of? I know that it costs my heels, so why bother to go through this experience. I see that your heart is a thinking heart, and you are troubled, isn't it? ”

Yu Qi smiled: "My sister's kung fu is getting deeper and deeper, and I don't understand my sister anymore." ”

The two raised their bars and laughed at each other, and in the end, Yu Qi sighed and said, "I want to ask her, what happened over there when I was under house arrest in Beifu." However, you have also seen how the family is in the family, how to talk well. ”

The words are full of helplessness.

After the two sighed, they walked outside the East Mansion. Here, the eldest grandmother heard them talking under the moon gate. It turned out that the eldest grandmother couldn't bear to see them leave, and chased a few more steps, and then, when she heard that the master and servant laughed at each other, she didn't dare to disturb, so she shrank by the bushes, wanting to wait for them to slow down and talk before going out to stay, who knew that she heard Yu Qi say that she was under house arrest in Beifu.

Hearing this, the eldest grandmother was extremely frightened.
