The eldest grandmother lifted the curtain and let Yu Qi take the first step. Before he approached the outer door, he heard the footsteps of the old lady walking up the steps. In addition, Zhu'er reminded her to wait carefully at her feet.

When the two of them arrived at the door, they happened to see the old lady approaching. The two of them bowed softly and solemnly, and said in unison: "Say hello to the old lady." ”

The old lady's mental outlook looked sleepy, and she stretched out her trembling hand and motioned for the two of them to get up.

After getting up, the two lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, stepped forward to take Zhu'er's hand to hold the old lady, turned their feet and started into the room.

When Yu Qi lifted the curtain, he instructed Sanxi behind him to bring the cushion. Sanxi went, brought a pair of Western cushions, and put it on the left kang according to Yu Qi's eyes. After that, he helped the old lady to sit.

Sit down, Zisu changed his indifference from the past, and went to pour tea subjectively.

After the tea, the old lady smiled comfortably: "It's much more enjoyable." Because there were too many people in the house, he instructed Zhu'er: "There are many people who are bored, so you all go out!" ”

Zhu'er hooked his head in response, stepped back, and beckoned to the people on the side to go out. Seeing this, Sanxi and Zisu consciously followed out.

Remaining.

Yu Qi and the eldest grandmother stood in front of the old lady.

The eldest grandmother saw that everyone was going out, the house was empty, and some people were standing uneasy, and she hesitated again and again, and she whispered, "Then I will go out too." ”

The old lady sighed and waved her hand, "You two sit down!" When the people below go out, what do you do when you go out? ”

This is to keep the two of them to talk about things, and it also shows that the eldest grandmother is the master, not the girl who is called underneath.

The eldest grandmother showed embarrassment, very embarrassed, and gently pulled her smiling face a few times, and glanced at Yu Qi slightly. Yu Qi looked back and nodded secretly, indicating that she should stay.

So, Yu Qi sat on the edge of the kang, and the grandmother sat down on the chair below.

The old lady waited for the two of them to sit down before she said, "I won't say some things, and you generally know about them." The two nuns of Xianyuan Nunnery are now living in our Shouzhong Curie, and I am planning to do this for the pavilion. For several days, I have supported the people of the government, and I have also distanced myself from you. Reasoning, I don't have to. If you care too much, you will lose a big thing. But I thought, be careful, the boat can dock! Wind and rain are nothing, and I am most afraid of the wind and rocks. When you first entered the mansion, you told me about the experience of Xianyuan Nunnery, and mentioned the pure light nun. Fortunately, I went to Beifu that day and intercepted it. Otherwise, I don't know what will happen now. So I said, "You must know my painstaking efforts." ”

After listening, Yu Qi got down from the kang, and the eldest grandmother also got up and knelt in front of the old lady.

Yu Qi said: "My grandmother has worked hard for me and for us, and I have made my grandmother worried." ”

The old lady propped her hands on the low table, supported her body, and said, "Get up!" No outsider doesn't have to do this. ”

They arose and sat down.

The old lady looked at Yu Qi with a kind look, and said seriously: "I arranged it like this, do you blame me?" ”

Yu Qi shook his head and said, "How can Ting'er blame her grandmother." It was Ting'er who didn't pay enough attention to it, so I just went to the Buddhist temple and let Master Chunguang see me. ”

The old lady smiled deeply, "It's okay. The bamboo girl came in and said that you had been here, and the nun was surprised. I thought to myself, but it's bad, maybe we'll see each other. Didn't you see it? So what? Not to mention that you are now the daughter of the Zhuang Mansion, even if they go out to spread it, they can't do it for a while, don't I keep them? To put them under house arrest. So, don't worry. The meaning of my coming here is to comfort and comfort you, and the other is to tell you clearly. Your sister-in-law is here, it's just right, and I don't need to call her anymore. Now, all understood? ”

The two nodded.

The old lady added, "Nothing has happened today. You don't have to take it to heart. ”

Yu Qi sat on his side and saluted, and said with a smile: "Yes." Listen to the old lady's arrangement. ”

Later, the old lady asked why she came back so early today, and Yu Qi didn't dare to hide it, so she told all the things that Zhi Fanggui had met with the old man.

The old lady listened, was silent for a while, and then said: "In the end, it is because of you that the Red Chamber is reopened." Xi Xue, after all, it is difficult for your second brother and third brother, they are not the material for the children of the official career. Look at them, and make as much as you gain! In short, as soon as my eyes were closed and my legs were extended, it had nothing to do with me. But I have a word to say, your sisters and sisters don't know about Xianyuanan, you should cover your eyes, and learn to copy scriptures with them, and you should be happy. If the Red Mansion is not opened, Xianyuan Nunnery will not be able to avoid it. ”

The old lady's words were not too clear, but the meaning was exactly that. It is nothing more than to let Yu Qi be at ease when she comes, let her be in the Red Mansion with her brothers and sisters, avoid troubles, and at the same time, let the people in the house not know the details.

For the old lady's good intentions, Yu Qi was very moved.

Because he remembered that he had offended the third master in Zhefanggui, Yu Qi said uneasily: "But I made a disrespectful speech in the morning, so that the master couldn't get off the stage." I don't know if the old man is angry with me. ”

The old lady said: "Let me tell you, literati have always been cautious, and these sour literati are more stingy than authentic literati!" However, what's so difficult about this, it's easiest to make him happy, I'll teach you a way, you help Stare Pu'er and Ju'er work hard, and the master won't be angry. Later, I'll ask someone to make a fish, and you send it to Xifu, which can be regarded as your reparation. The third old man loves to eat fish. ”

When Yu Qi heard this, he smiled shyly.

At this point, the old lady had finished saying all the important points, and then got up and said that she was going back to rest. Yu Qi and the eldest grandmother didn't dare to stay, so they helped her up with their left and right hands and sent her out of the door. When he went out, Yu Qi whispered to the old lady: "When I came back, I lied to them, saying that I came back because of my old illness. The old lady asked me to go to Xifu later, for fear that they would ......"

The old lady patted Yu Li's hand and said, "The girl is confused, I am the universal elixir, and I can cure your old diseases." Now, isn't it better? ”

Several people laughed for a while.

The old lady said again: "Actually, the bamboo girl told me that you are not feeling well. I'm worried too, but I'll come to your hospital to see that you're in good spirits, not like that. Presumably he was angry in Beifu. If you hadn't told me the truth, I would have called someone to scold the people in Beifu. ”

After hearing this, Yu Qi was moved, but also felt thrilled, fortunately he confessed, otherwise the old lady sent someone to Beifu to blame, and it would be even more difficult for him to deal with himself.

After the old lady left, the eldest grandmother sat for a while and comforted Yu Qi even more. Yu Qi, like her, also comforted her and said, "It's okay now, at least the old lady didn't hide it from us." I don't worry, and you have to rest assured. ”

The big grandmother nodded.

Yu Qi suddenly remembered that he hadn't cared much about his grandmother's life after so long, so he asked, "Are you okay in Dongfu?" ”

The eldest grandmother smiled sadly and said, "I'm fine, don't worry, girl." Now, the little aunt is a big deal, and there is nothing to do with the people next to her. Besides, I'll serve the uncle well, and that's it. ”

Between the words, it can be seen that she is not happy and unhappy.

Isn't all this the sin created by Yu Qi? Yu Qi was very remorseful, and his heart was full of self-blame, at this moment, even if there were thousands of words of apology, it was useless to say more, after all, there was nothing to recover.

Yu Qi picked up the handkerchief and wiped his eyes.

Seeing this, the eldest grandmother smiled again: "The girl really doesn't have to worry, I'm fine." ”

Yu Qi took the opportunity to say: "Knowing that you are good, I am at ease." It's just that I lamented those scenes when we entered the house, and it was only a long time before it turned out to be like this. ”

A stiff smile appeared on the grandmother's face, but a layer of mist appeared in her eyes; In order to restrain her gaffe, she didn't look away, took a hard breath, and said, "In the future, we will see each other for many days." ”

Yu Qi nodded fiercely. Yes, there are many days to come, at least in Beifu, and many, many more days.

However, isn't this also a tragedy? If you come to seek revenge, but you are like a relative with your enemy; If the grandmother does not want to marry but marries, she forces her face to smile and pretends to be happy every day.

Yu Qi knew that she was depressed. But how can a normal person be happy in the face of a crazy husband day and night? Besides, she has a low status and is in an awkward position in Dongfu.

Fortunately, the eldest grandmother did not complain and did not show it. This confirms what Yu Qi said at the beginning: Huiyuan is a person who can pretend to be big things and knows how to be measured.

The more the grandmother is like this, the more Lu Qi's conscience is tormented.

When the eldest grandmother left, she said to Yu Qi: "When I came out of Zhefanggui, the master was still upstairs to reprimand the second and third masters, and the third master repeated the girl's words to the master. I didn't want to mention it to the girl, but the girl will have to go later, and she will have to be prepared with words. ”

Yu Qi felt warm, and thanked him again and again.

After the grandmother left, Yu Qi told Zisu and Sanxi what the old lady said, and told the two to pay attention to their words and deeds in the future. The two listened. In the afternoon, I had a snack, took a nap, and woke up to the west. Sanxi came in and said that Ju'er from Shouzhongju came to ask when she would go to Xifu.

Presumably, the old lady specially asked Chrysanthemum to make a vegetable fish, and she came to ask for the time.

When Yu Qi heard this, she felt extremely ashamed, and she asked Sanxi: "What did you say?" ”

Sanxi said: "I said that the girl took a nap, and I didn't know until I woke up." ”

Yu Qi said: "What else did she say? ”

Sanxi said: "I didn't say anything...... Say...... said that she would wait until the girl woke up to cook fish, for fear that it would smell strong and the meat would not be tender. ”

It happened that Zisu came in and said with a smile: "Why bother to do it, marinate it on the top, make a live salted fish and send it over." ”

Yu Qi said: "My sister's heart is too hard. He is a court official, are you cursing others? ”

Zisu said: "I didn't think about it so much, I just felt bothered, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to please you in the past." ”

Yu Qi also had doubts in her heart, and took a plate of fish for no reason, the third master naturally knew that she came to ask for guilt, but she had to have an explanation, didn't she? Last year, in order to please Cao's family, he made a chicken, and finally injured Cao's family, and today it is this kind of trick again, for fear of repeating the mistakes of the past.

Yu Qi sighed and lamented, and finally said: "I promised the old lady, even if I want to regret it, I can't!" You say, I will go to the dishes of Shou Zhongju, and then say that I made it myself, will this be ......?"

Zisu interrupted angrily: "Then you can do it yourself!" ”

Zi Sutong's cooking skills make it difficult for her to make fish. At the moment, she spoke like this, it can be seen that she doesn't want to participate, and she doesn't want to be a fish to curry favor with the Zhuang Mansion, not to mention that the third master Zhuang Qin is the enemy of the Zhuo Mansion!

Yu Qi said: "Then I'll do it myself." "Let's say, let Sanxi go to Shouzhongju to find chrysanthemums and ask for fish.

Sanxi went for a while, and put a carp back in a basin, which was about the size of his hands spread out, and the golden lin's red beard was very auspicious.

Zisu looked at it and said coldly: "You dare to kill?" ”

Yu Qi really didn't dare, so he had to push it to Sanxi. Sanxi took it out and thought of a lot of ways to kill the fish, but it didn't work out after all. At the end, he shouted and shouted to ask for Zisu.

Zisu didn't want to help, so he sat under the porch at the door and read a book to tease the parrot.

Sanxi begged: "Miss Su, you can help me!" ”

Zisu said: "The carp didn't kill your parents, why did you kill it?" If you kill it, you won't be able to eat its meat, what are you doing with all this effort in vain! The sin of a fish, because it was born as a fish? ”

This was said loudly, deliberately so that Yu Qi could hear it.

When Yu Qi heard this, she was silent, and she didn't go to her heart, she knew that she wanted to help when Zisu was angry, so she kept quiet and waited for the result.

Only now made her worried, and went to Xifu to say something. Zisu is right, the sin lies in the man, the fish is not guilty, and what is the difference between himself and the fish? If you are a fish, you will be caught in a net.
