Yu Qi's words were right.

No matter how bright the sun is, it can't fully cover the black shadows. This is black.

After Yu Qi finished grooming, he took Sanxi to Shouzhongju to ask for peace, but Zisu still refused to see everyone. When I arrived at Shouzhongju, I heard the old lady and others discussing the activities of today's Dongfu, and Cao Shi was spending a lot of time explaining to the old lady where to listen to the play first, what snacks to eat at lunch, what tea to prepare, when to hold a banquet, who the old men invited and so on.

Because of the banquet and the old man, the old lady remembered that someone came to report last night that the housekeeper was taken back by the big master and bitten by a wolf dog, and he was seriously injured. Zhuang Hu replied that he asked the housekeeper to take a day off and asked the old doctor to treat him. In this way, today's banquet, the housekeeper does not come to watch, and Zhuang Hu has to personally supervise everything, although the second wife Cao was named by the old lady to help, but after the banquet, she is the main guest, and she can't worry about it.

When Yu Qi entered, after Cao's explanation, the old lady nodded with satisfaction. At that moment, everyone lived in the hall of the side room in the middle of the life, and the old lady sat in the middle of the kang, next to the aunt and the seventh girl Zhuang Yuan, and a low table was placed on it, and some dried nuts and fresh fruits and hot tea were placed on it. On both sides of the small table, the eldest lady Qin sat on the left side, the third wife county lord sat on the right, and the Cao family stood on the edge of the charcoal cage in front of the kang, stretching out his hand to the cage to bake the fire, while holding a handkerchief to talk to the old lady.

Behind the charcoal cage under the hall is a round table, Huiyuan and Zhuang Hu, Zhuang Xuan, Zhuang Ying, Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Jue, and Zhuang Jue sisters sit around, and the aunts sit in front of the girls, and their respective girls stand next to the back. Zhu'er, Mei'er and other longevity girls are waiting in front of the kang. Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Pu were missing.

Yu Qi walked in steadily and gracefully, and everyone was talking happily inside, and no one saw it. Fortunately, Zhu'er had a sharp eye, and when she came over and saw it, she didn't care what Cao was saying, she only hooked her head to the old lady's table and said, "Miss Qi is here." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look.

The old lady leaned her neck and raised her face and said, "Why is the girl here?" I also said that you are not in good health, and I will call you over when the banquet starts. Since you are here, go to the kang and sit on it to get warmer. ”

When the old lady spoke, Yu Qi had already saluted everyone. glanced around, and saw that their respective positions were fixed, and the old lady asked herself to go to the kang, and it was inappropriate for her to follow. So Yu Qi smiled slightly, didn't go, and went straight to Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu.

Zhuang Qi was angry with Yu Qi, his face was not as happy as that of other sisters, and Zhuang Yu was also a little conflicted with Yu Qi a few days ago, so he was quiet at the moment and did not say anything. Only Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu held her.

At this time, the county lord smiled: "It doesn't look like I'm sick, I woke up with my sisters." The old lady also allowed her to come to the kang, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to come up! ”

As he spoke, everyone laughed.

The old lady felt that someone was missing, looked left and right, and found that Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Pu were missing, and said, "Where did the two monkey heads go?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you, as if you don't know. Zhu'er knew, and didn't go back, just looked at Yu Qiba.

Yu Qi pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer.

Seeing that no one returned, the old lady sighed, "I can't keep anyone here." In a few years, the house will be empty! ”

The crowd hastened to say good words and comfort.

Zhuang Hu is the eldest sister, and she is responsible for taking care of the daily life of the sisters, so she took advantage of the situation to divert the topic and said: "The third brother is not here, and the old man is not here, and there is no time for the end of the year. ”

After hearing this, the county lord woke up to one thing, didn't he say that the two brothers went out to worship Mr. in the morning?

Therefore, the county lord said: "The old lady spoils him." I didn't see the two of them that morning, and I asked someone, and the girl told me that her third master and second master went out to meet Mr. Xin. I forgot to ask. ”

The old lady said, "Pu'er is looking for Mr. Ju'er?" Ouch, you guys are so worry-free! What kind of good gentleman can Pu'er's temperament make? But then again, I think there are good ones, but unfortunately they are not there. I think that Mr. Kwan is very good, although he is a little younger. ”

The county lord didn't dare to speak, only echoed and smiled.

Cao Shi originally stood on the side, squirmed to the girls' table and sat down, and said, "The old lady likes that gentleman, let's just come back." Shu is barbaric, and Mr. Guan must not want to go back. We have good food and good drink in our house to serve him, and we have given him silver. Such a good thing can't be beaten by anyone. I wondered, why didn't the gentleman come here after he had been with us for several years? It shouldn't be! ”

The meaning of the words is to remind you that the gentleman was very good, and the children must have taken him naughtily.

The county lord's face looked a little displeased, and he squinted to meet it.

The Qin clan glanced at the county lord, then turned his head to the Cao clan and said, "Second wife, what are you talking about!" The girls don't read again, and when the girls read, you Zhang Luo will find a female gentleman! ”

This was said lightly and unintentionally, but in fact it was sarcastic, sarcastic that Cao had no children under his knees. Of course, the Qin family is also jealous of the county lord, after all, there are three young masters in this mansion, and her son's eldest young master is crazy, and there is no big hope. Therefore, when I heard the discussion of Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Pu, I was unwilling and displeased, so I said such things.

When Cao heard Qin say this, he didn't answer, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table.

The girls were close to Cao's and could see her face clearly. Fortunately, her daughter Zhuang Ying smiled and said, "Why do you need to invite a female gentleman?" On that day, we were boiling tea in the rolling garden to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms, and there were several female gentlemen. ”

Cao Shi glanced at Zhuang Ying fiercely as if she had been slapped on her mouth, but Zhuang Ying didn't look at her mother.

Because the old lady answered, "Which female gentlemen?" ”

Zhuang Ying said shyly: "Sister-in-law, grandmother, Sister Qi, and Miss Ayu, not to mention poetry and songs, even the history of human relations in all dynasties and dynasties is known." Very Bogu. ”

Only then did Yu Qi look sideways at Huiyuan, who was sitting on the side, dignified and elegant, gentle and smiling.

Cao Shi said angrily: "The girl knows a few words and runs boldly, the needle and thread in the door can't be straightened, what kind of book to read!" Quite disgusted and glanced at Zhuang Ying, Zhuang Ying knew that he had lost his words.

Zhuang Ying quietly pulled Zhuang Ju and asked for help.

Zhuang Xuan slapped her hand away and snorted.

The old lady and the others didn't answer Cao's words. Here, the Cao family scolded a few people, first, it was Yu Qi's mother Zhuang Hui, who knew poetry and books, was disobedient when she was young, and finally ran away with Aunt Zhuo; Second, the girls who came in from outside, such as Yu Li, Grandma, Ayu and others, are knowledgeable, but after all, they are mixed outside, and they can't be beautiful and unseemly.

Zhuang Hu was afraid that the old lady would be angry, so he turned the topic back to the banquet in Dongfu.

Zhuang Yu quietly asked at the root of Yu Qi'er: "I saw that the third brother went out with Zhu'er, didn't he go to you?" ”

Yu Qi blushed and replied in a low voice: "He came to see that parrot, and after teasing him, he ran away." ”

Zhuang Yu covered his mouth and smiled, and listened to the adults for the rest of the day.

If Zhuang Jue runs out, where can he go? Yu Qi knows very well.

Zhuang Jue went to the Accord.

He went for only one purpose: to persuade Ayu to come to Shouzhongju immediately and go directly to Dongfu for a banquet in the afternoon.

But when he arrived at the Accord, he couldn't say anything.

Inside the house.

The fragrance of medicine is curling, the charcoal cage is smoking, the outside of the hospital is freezing, and the house is dry and warm. There was no one in the kang house.

In the bedroom where Mr. Guan lived, there was a low sobbing sound. Zhuang Yu thought that his life was in danger first, and Ayu was heartbroken, so he rushed quickly.

When I got to the door, I saw Mr. lying on the bed, smiling and talking to Ayu, his complexion seemed to be very good, and his voice was a little strong.

Mr. Guan said: "It's time to say that I made it clear, you let me die, I don't blame you at all." But you asked me to exchange those two hearts for my own life, even if I lived, my life was cheap. ”

Ayu cried: "But they are also dying people, and if they can save your life, they don't have to waste it." ”

Mr. Guan said: "After all, no one else is dead, is he?" I know that if you can save your medical skills, but it doesn't hurt to save it, it is also two lives. ”

Ayu wiped her tears and smiled bitterly, and said, "Isn't Mr. being harmed by these kindnesses all these years?" Every time you send kindness to others, how do people treat you? At the end of the day, Mr. is still thinking about others, foolishness is not true goodness, Mr. has read so many books, why can't he be thorough? Those two are not human, sir! It's a beast with a human face! Poison you like this! Say, "Can I save them?" ”

Mr. Guan said: "I have made up my mind. I can't decide if you can heal me, but I decide when I'll die. In the end, you're right, it's a beast with a human face, how can you bear to be on me with such a beast heart? ”

Ayu was in tears and speechless.

When Zhuang Jue heard this, he was relieved and felt a lot of awe. He wanted to slowly pull out.

Knowing that, there were voices from Zhuang Pu, Caitong and Wang Wu outside the courtyard, as well as a wolf howl.

Zhuang Jue went out and saw Zhuang Pu standing at the foot of the steps, Wang Wu and Cai Tong standing in front of and behind a wolf dog, Wang Wu had a rope in his hand and put it around the wolf dog's neck, and Cai Tong also had a rope in his hand and put it on the waist of the wolf dog's hind legs.

One person pulls the dog forward, and one pulls the dog backward. It can be seen that they prevent the wolfdogs from rushing forward to bite people, and also prevent the wolfdogs from escaping.

Zhuang Pu stomped his feet and clapped his hands to command.

It's ridiculous.

Zhuang Pu called Ayu while commanding, but Ayu didn't come out, but bumped into Zhuang Yu. The two brothers met and were dumbfounded by each other.

Zhuang Pu pushed Zhuang Jue away in disgust and said, "What are you doing here?" I don't need you to come. ”

Zhuang Jue said: "I know what my brother is going to do. I just heard from my husband, and he doesn't want to change his mind. ”

Zhuang Pu stared at Zhuang Yu fiercely, and then turned around and entered the house. When I got inside, I saw that Mr. Guan was awake, and Ayu was crying inside.

Zhuang Pu smiled happily: "Brother Guan is awake? Oh, Jade Girl, I brought the wolfdog. It's okay to ......."

Mr. Guan gasped and wanted to struggle to get up, but Ayu leaned over and held it down.

Ayu wiped away her tears and said to Zhuang Pu: "Second master, go out first!" ”

Zhuang Pu felt guilty, he felt that it was because he came in that Mr. Guan was uncomfortable. Ayu spoke, and he involuntarily retreated. When he got outside, Zhuang Jue was still standing there stupidly.

Zhuang Pu asked Zhuang Pu what he heard Mr. Guan say, and Zhuang Pu did not hide it and told Zhuang Pu everything he had just heard. That Zhi Zhuang Pu gritted his teeth, pushed Zhuang Yu away, picked up a wooden stick from under the eaves porch, and yelled at Wang Wucaitong and the two servants: "Tighten it for the master!" ”

Zhuang Di's eyes widened.

See clearly.

Zhuang Pu raised the wooden stick and smashed it down on the top of the wolfdog's head.

Blood, bursting out, splattered on the snow.

The wolfdog trembled all over, its feet were forked, and it was scratching around, but it was not dead, but it struggled desperately.

At this time, Ayu rushed out when he heard the sound and saw several people stupidly looking at the dying wolf dog on the snow.

Ayu's teary eyes stared at the pool of blood and snow on the ground and the painful and dying dog; She felt a pain in her heart, and looked back helplessly at the house, wanting to see through the partition wall to see Mr. Guan's face, but how could she see it? Yes, this dog is like the man lying in it, and he is dying, so similar. It's the same with the other two.

However, people are different people, dogs are different dogs, and people and dogs are alienated.
