Yu Qi, Zisu, and Sanxi's master and servant rushed to Xifu with lanterns.

Because of the cold weather, the servants who keep their shifts on a daily basis have already finished their shifts, and the afterglow is in the evening, the surroundings are dark, the courtyard is full of high walls, and the snow is not alarmed. Only under the eaves porch, the lights fluttered in rows.

When he arrived at the head of the West Mansion, Yu Qi only showed that he paid attention to etiquette, and asked Sanxi to call the door first. Sanxi went to call, no one answered, and went into the door independently, and saw that the mother-in-law who was keeping vigil at the door was eating wine and hiding in the corner gate pavilion at the moment.

When the mother-in-law saw Sanxi, she frowned and came out, and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Yu Qi and Zisu standing outside the door, she hurriedly stretched her eyebrows and asked, "Yo, why is the girl here so late?" ”

Yu Qi put his hand on the back of Zisu's hand, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Mom hasn't given the key so late, you have worked hard in the cold night." ”

When the mother-in-law heard Yu Qi speak like this, she liked it very much, so she stretched out her hand to invite her, and said, "Mrs. I'm afraid I'm going to sleep this time." Something wrong with the girl? ”

Yu Qi looked inside, but he didn't mean to step in, his eyes flashed: "The second brother just came in, how are they now?" ”

Yu Qi inquired about this, and he was a little pondering in his heart, afraid that he would be reckless to find it, and Mr. Guan and they were not in Accord, so they were empty. went in and smeared the headless flies to find it, showing that he was rude and did not say anything, and disturbed the rest of the master's house, for fear of leaving a bad toe and being known to be short. That's why I asked Sanxi to call the door first, and then ask them what their current situation is and where they are going, so that they can go inside step by step so that it is not obtrusive and reasonable.

Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law listened to Yu Li's words, didn't wake up for a long time, and said, "The second master is back?" Ouch, you see I've eaten a few sips of wine and blinded me. Miss Xianglian came to help me keep the fire for a while, and I got a chance to loosen my hands, I'm afraid I missed it. The girl has something to do with the second master? ”

Yu Qi thought about it, and the banquet in Dongfu on the 20th was a matter of two days. Zhuang Pu went outside to pick up Mr. Guan, it was still the same scene, but he was afraid that he would not dare to publicize it, so he let Xianglian open the mother-in-law who was guarding the door. Thinking of this, Yu Qi didn't dare to tell the truth anymore, shook his head and said: "It's nothing, Sister Xianglian's things fell to me, I'm afraid they won't find it." This is not sent over. ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "What is so important?" It's cold and slippery, and the girl will send it tomorrow. If you are in a hurry, you entrust me, and I will pass it on to Miss Xianglian. The girl went in again. ”

When Yu Qi heard what her mother-in-law said, she regretted that she had lied for a while, because she didn't have anything on hand to shirk the delivery, so she said with a spicy face: "Don't dare to work mother." Then he changed his words sharply and said, "The jade girl lives in Accord? ”

The mother-in-law said, "Yes, live in Accord." Mrs. asked her to live with the fifth girl, but the jade girl refused for fear of causing trouble. The wife had several men to serve her. The fifth girl talked to her all night over there last night, and came back at midnight, and the fifth girl was afraid that she would still be there. Girl, are you looking for Miss Xianglian or Miss Yu? ”

Yu Qi said: "Just ask." Originally, I wanted to give things to Sister Xianglian, but I went over to talk to Miss Yu. I am not in good health every day, and I was diagnosed and treated by Miss Yu. ”

The mother-in-law responded with an "oh", and roughly thought that Yu Qi's health was not good again. Then he said: "The girl's body is important, I advise the girl not to go over." The road over there is the most difficult to walk on rainy and snowy days. Come back tomorrow! ”

Yu Qi smiled, thinking in his heart that it was not very important, he just came to take a look at it with his conscience. Perhaps at this moment, a group of them were busy serving Mr. Guan, and a few of them went over, not only did they not help, but added to the chaos.

So Yu Qi shook his head and turned his steps, wanting to go back.

When the mother-in-law saw Yu Qi leaving, she caught up and asked, "Do you want me to transfer the girl's things to Miss Xianglian?" ”

Yu Qi blushed and said, "I was in a hurry, and half of that thing was still in the house." Now that I think about it, forget it, I'll send it over another day. ”

The mother-in-law nodded with a smile on her face, and watched Yu Qi and a few people go down the steps.

Then, Yu Qi heard the sound of the door closing, stopped slightly, turned his head to look at the door, and suddenly felt lonely and uneasy. At this time, I heard Zhuang Di's voice coming from the door.

I only heard Zhuang Jue say: "Just now I heard Sister Qi's voice, did my mother see it?" ”

The mother-in-law replied: "Miss Qi said to send something to Miss Xianglian, but after talking for a while, she couldn't say it completely, so she didn't come in." Why don't you just go? ”

After speaking, the door opened again, and Zhuang Yu flashed out with a lantern and a red cloak. At that time, Yu Qi had not yet gone far.

Zhuang Jue shouted first: "Sister! Xiao Yinyin ran down the steps, and the woman behind her lowered her voice and called, "Master carefully slide down." ”

Zhuang Jue didn't listen to her mother-in-law's reminder at all, and ran to Yu Qi.

Zhuang Jue didn't bring an umbrella, and his pink face shrank into his cloak and hat, and the snow at one end was stained on the hat, and it was sparsely white. Seeing this, Yu Qi pulled him over with a smile and motioned for Sanxi to move the umbrella closer to him so that he could cover him.

Yu Qi said: "With such a big snow, why did you come out without an umbrella?" As he spoke, he reached out and slapped the snowflakes on Zhuang Di's hood.

Seeing her warm and concerning, Zhuang Ying was extremely moved, and said with a smile: "Why doesn't my sister go in?" ”

Yu Qi flickered her eyes and looked back, and saw her mother-in-law standing outside the door with her hands and feet shaking, so she turned her face and whispered to Zhuang Jue: "Mr. is back, do you know?" ”

Zhuang Jue was stunned for a moment and said, "How does my sister know?" ”

Yu Qi said: "It's strange, is it possible that the people in the mansion don't know?" Instead of being a thief, what do you do secretly? ”

Zhuang Jue sighed and said, "Don't hide it from my sister, I just heard about it." I rushed over to take a look, saying that this matter should be avoided by the people in the house, and our wife and master don't know about it yet! So I'm curious, how did my sister know? I knew it before I did. ”

Yu Qi grabbed Zhuang Jue tightly and whispered to inform Zhuang Pu and others of carrying Mr. Guan back. After hearing this, Zhuang Jue was shocked and said: "They asked the rich boy to inform me, and they didn't say that it was so serious. Let's take a look! "I want to go back with my hand.

Yu Qi held down Zhuang Yu and said, "Since the second brother intends to avoid the people in the house, I won't go." Besides, the mother guarding the door hasn't sat warm yet, and if I go in and out again, won't I trouble her again and let her suffer from the cold on a snowy night? It's okay for you to go and see, and thank me tomorrow for coming to Jinghua. ”

Zhuang Jue refused to let go: "It's all here, sister come with me!" ”

Yu Qi said: "Why don't you understand. I was confused for a while and didn't have a thought to run, but now that it's transparent, I naturally can't go. They will invite you to come, and they will have something to say to you. It's not good for me to be there! ”

Yu Qi hurriedly broke free of Zhuang Yu's hand, and said, "You go in quickly, find an umbrella in the house, don't catch a cold." ”

After speaking, Yu Qi returned along the road.

Zhuang Jue looked at the three of Yu Li's master and servant in the distance, and when they disappeared into the snowy night, he was depressed and reluctantly went up the steps and returned to the door. Because of listening to Yu Qi's instructions, Zhuang Jue asked the mother-in-law guarding the door: "Does my mother have an umbrella?" ”

The mother-in-law muttered that she found an umbrella for him, and asked Miss Qi why she left, Zhuang Ying smiled and said: "Sister Qi is a reasonable person, I'm afraid of giving you trouble for old licking." You have to get up and open and close the door when you sit warm, for fear of annoying you! ”

The mother-in-law sighed again and again, and said, "Miss Qi is really considerate. ”

In a blink of an eye, Zhuang Jue took the umbrella and went to the Accord.

When I arrived outside the Accord, I saw a light shining in the house from a distance, and I knew that the people inside were busy. Zhuang Jue looked left and right, and walked in lightly with a lantern. When I arrived outside the hospital, I heard Zhuang Pu's low and angry shout: "Bastard, you can't talk about it, just ask you to invite the third master, what else do you say to the fifth girl?" The third master didn't call, you ran away first! Get out on your knees! ”

After listening, I saw the rich boy lift the curtain and come out, crying with a sad face.

Because he saw Zhuang Ying standing in the courtyard, the rich boy was surprised and hurriedly invited Zhuang Ying in. Zhuang Jue generally heard Zhuang Pu's rebuke just now, so he patted the rich boy and said, "The second master is confused. Pulling the curtain and poking inside, I saw Mr. Guan lying on the kang wrapped in a quilt, Zhuang Pu walked around the kang with his hands behind his back, Ayu concentrated on Mr. Guan's pulse, Xianglian clenched her hands and stood on the side, and the mother-in-law and girl who were waiting in the house were also shocked and trembling and looked at the side.

So, Zhuang Jue lowered the curtain, pulled the rich boy to the corner, and asked, "What's wrong with the gentleman?" ”

Cai Tong said: "In the afternoon, the second master asked us to quietly follow us to pick up people, and the gentleman was like that." Don't let anyone talk about it yet. I just went to invite the third master, and when I came out, I met the fifth girl, and you saw it here, she had to pull me and ask me what to do at night! I thought that the third master would know about it, and it wouldn't matter if I said a word to the fifth girl. It's a coincidence that the third master, you disappeared in a blink of an eye, I thought you were here. When the second master saw me coming back by himself, he scolded me and punished me for kneeling. ”

Zhuang Jue sighed and soothed: "You go to the fifth girl to take a look, if she doesn't come out to squeak, forget it, if she also comes, let it be quiet, don't alarm the people in our house." You can remember this, the second master doesn't want to publicize it. ”

The boy nodded gratefully and ran out.

Don't pass the fortune boy, Zhuang Yu blew out the lights outside the door, and then lifted the curtain and walked in.

When I arrived at the house, a warm hall rushed to my face, and a large charcoal cage was set up on the ground, and a red fire was piled up in it, and the flames were full of smoke and ashes.

Zhuang Jue handed the lantern to the girl standing on the side, leaned over and asked, "What's wrong with Mr.?" Regardless of whether Zhuang Puhui answered or not, he approached the side of the kang.

Under the candlelight, I saw Mr. Guan's face purple, frowning and closing his eyes, angry like a gossamer, lying straight still. Ayu had finished taking the pulse and put the gentleman's hand back into the quilt.

Zhuang Pu hurriedly said: "How?" ”

Ayu's tears obviously never stopped, and the two tear stains shimmered in the light. She took a breath and raised her hand to wipe her eyes. Xianglian handed her a handkerchief, but she didn't answer. Zhuang Pu was anxious, and asked again: "How is the gentleman?" ”

Ayu slowed down for a moment and shook her head sadly.

Zhuang Jue saw this scene, shocked and anxious, and then asked, "Sister, what happened to Mr. Guan?" ”

Ayu still refused to speak.

Zhuang Jue turned around and pulled Zhuang Pu and said, "Brother, are you planning to let me go to the doctor?" Who to look for? I'll go right away! ”

Zhuang Pu said: "That's what it means." You ask Su Yuan for help, and let you ask the medical officer in the palace. I'm afraid that at this moment, the talents of the royal palace will work. ”

After hearing this, Zhuang Jue didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and wanted to leave.

Ayu turned her head and cried: "No need to go!" ”

Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Pu looked at Ayu at the same time.
