days.

The people of Sifu waited to come to Shouzhong to wake up in the morning and say hello, as usual. After the morning, Yu Qi sent the wives out, and then returned to Shouzhongju to have breakfast with the old lady. After the meal, the old lady felt a little unwell, and the headache in the past flared up again. Zhu'er was worried and wanted to inform the prefectures, but the old lady stopped her, saying that she didn't need to tell the people in the mansion, she was just quite strong, and asked Yu Qi to thank her.

Yu Qi thought that the old lady wanted to rest, and did not dare to stay, went out, she also said last night that she was going to Beifu to worship the Cao family today, and the old lady would stumble for a while and not walk, but the old lady asked her to leave again.

It turns out that there is a story here, and the old lady doesn't want Yu Qi to know. In the past two years, the old lady has suffered from headaches, and the root cause is that the drugs configured in the past have been used up. The medicine was prepared by an old friend doctor, but this doctor has withdrawn from the medical profession for many years because of the crime committed by the court, and refused to meet outsiders. This section of the story, which is not suitable to be extended, will be mentioned later.

The doctor who treated the old lady's headache was an old lady doctor, surnamed Bai, who was called Bai Taiyi in the old days, also known as Bai Ye, and at the current age, it should be Bai Lao Ma. Today, he is about the same age as an old lady and lives in the East Castle of Kyoto, with a full house of children and grandchildren.

The old lady broke up with Yu Qi, just to take time to see the white doctor. Because of some old things, the old lady didn't want people to know that she had gone to find Dr. Bai, which was the reason.

Right now, Yu Qi returned to the mirror first, and he was restless. Zisu and Sanxi were relieved on the side, and they were not useful. Perhaps the old lady was full of worry when she saw Yu Qi coming out of Shouzhongju, and then before she went out to find Dr. Bai, she sent the girl Zhu'er to take a look at Yu Qi and said something of relief. Yu Qi was more relieved at this time.

The old lady sent Zhu'er to see Yu Qi, and there was another meaning.

Zhu'er said: "The old lady said that the girl should not worry. She will be fine after a while, and the girl is empty in the house, and she is also worried, so it is better to go to the girls to play with them, and dissipate the worries that have just been unhappy. ”

The old lady wanted to persuade Yu Qi to find someone to play with through Zhu'er, so as to avoid everyone's eyes and leave the house.

Yu Qi naturally wanted to listen to the old lady's words, this was one thing, and the other was that she was going to Beifu, and the old lady let go, so it was more reasonable for her to get out and go.

So, as soon as Zhu'er left, Yu Qi and Sanxi went out of Zhongfu to Beifu.

Zisu refused to follow and stepped out, but told Yu Qi: "Girl, that's right and wrong!" Hurry back when you see bad signs. I'm really not at ease, but your heart is concerned about Mr. Guan and Miss Ayu, and I can't persuade you. I hope you understand what I mean. ”

Yu Qi took Zisu's hand and said gratefully: "Sister, don't worry." If my sister is okay, help me take a few more looks at the old lady. ”

Zisu nodded in response.

So far, Yu Qi has walked all the way to the gate of Beifu.

Before entering the gate of Beifu, I heard a few girls who came out of it laughing. When those girls saw Yu Qi, they naturally knew the etiquette and came to salute with a smile.

Yu Qi didn't catch a cold, and asked the girl in Beifu at the exit, "Mrs. is busy?" ”

The girl kept laughing when she came out, and at the moment she still kept the smile on her face when she just went out, and said, "The girl is looking for a wife?" ”

Yu Qi was a little shy, and said, "I heard that my wife was not in good health yesterday, so I'll take a look." I just asked the old lady for an appointment, but I didn't have time to ask. ”

The girl looked at each other, laughed and stopped, and finally said: "The girl wants to be too *, go to the fence bamboo garden and settle them, and the wife will naturally be safe." ”

With that, the girl left.

Yu Qi wants to ask what happened to the fence bamboo garden? I didn't ask.

Sanxi was very worried on the side, and kept urging Yu Qi to return to the mirror.

Yu Qi was unwilling, lifted her skirt and walked inside. When I arrived at the second courtyard of Beifu, there were more people walking and busy in it, and I saw the girls in groups of three or five, chattering and discussing. Yu Qi couldn't really hear it, he walked in with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered, his steps were light, and his body turned slightly, but he had the meaning of avoiding suspicion and going in and out.

When I was about to arrive at the courtyard where Cao's was, I suddenly heard a "clang" sound from inside.

Yu Qi stopped suddenly.

Then, Cao's angry voice was clearly heard: "How can this be reasonable! It's getting more and more unruly! Go out and shut up these hoofs without gourd mouths, and if it reaches the old lady, I'll skin you!" ”

When Yu Qi heard this, he quickly turned his head and avoided a corner. Immediately after, seeing Cao's big girl Guiyuan trotting out of it, she stopped and told people to talk when she met along the way. Roughly speaking, they should not gossip.

Yu Qi hid in the corner and didn't dare to come out.

Sanxi complained in a low voice: "I should have listened to Miss Su's words a long time ago, girl, you see that you have met something bad again." ”

Yu Qi sighed: "I'm not an immortal, how could I expect that?" ”

Seeing that the girls in the distance were still talking about each other, Sanxi was surprised: "I don't know what happened, even the old lady doesn't let me know." Girl, let's go! Don't look at it. ”

Yu Qi looked at it for a while and shook his head: "It's not good to go." Let's go to the Fence Bamboo Garden. ”

Sanxi opened his mouth wide and grabbed her: "Girl, it's not because of the conflict between Lizhuyuan and his wife." Aren't you going against your wife now? ”

Yu Qi smiled: "I'll go to the fence bamboo garden to help my wife vent her anger." Now, my wife and I are on the same line. Anyway, I went against my wife. ”

That's right, Yu Qi went to the Fence Bamboo Garden to find Yi Linglong is to ask and ask Mr. Guan where to go, and to go deeper, he and the Fence Bamboo Garden are not in harmony, but he is a person with the Cao family. If the Cao family blames for this, at that time, Yu Qi will stand in line with her and only say that she is looking for a girl to give a lecture, which is to help his wife get angry. Now, when I hear Cao's anger, there are still some secrets that can't be known, how can I excuse myself if I go out in a grand way? Therefore, walking the fence bamboo garden is a last resort.

But if you want to go out of the fence bamboo garden, go back to the inner courtyard and turn around, if you go out like this, isn't it just to inform the people in Beifu that you have come to Cao's courtyard? After thinking about it repeatedly, Yu Qi made a decision, took the trail to the deserted courtyard, and then turned into the fence bamboo garden.

The deserted courtyard is where the wolf dog is kept.

So, Yu Qi was optimistic about the opportunity, and pulled Sanxi to walk quickly when there was no one around. Unexpectedly, the moment of the shadow behind him, Guiyuan came back and saw it. Gui Yuan's suspicious and confused Wang Yuqi master and servant left, and they didn't say hello, and went straight back to Cao's house.

As soon as Gui Yuan entered the house, he first reported to the Cao family that he had finished telling the order, and those girls didn't dare to talk nonsense. Cao Shi calmed down and picked up the tea to eat.

Gui Yuan said again: "Madam, just now I was in a trance, as if I saw Miss Qi." ”

Cao Shi took a sip of tea and said coldly: "I told people not to talk nonsense, but you said it first." Miss Qi, who is grateful for the mirror flowers, has nothing to do in my Beifu. ”

Gui Yuan shook his head: "I'm not mistaken, Miss Qi and Sanxi went in the direction of the deserted courtyard." ”

After listening, Cao Shi covered the tea bowl fiercely and said angrily: "These girls don't pay attention to any of the things they should be staring at, and they care about the things they shouldn't be staring at all day long." If you do, follow along. Could it be that wolf dog, Miss Qi already knew? ”

Gui Yuan shook his head and hurriedly withdrew, following behind Yu Qi who had left in that direction.

Sure enough, when Yu Qi arrived at the deserted courtyard, he heard the barking of dogs. Sanxi was frightened, and pulled Yu Qi hard, with the intention of running for his life.

Yu Qi soothed her: "Do you remember our hometown in the south? I was fishing by the river with Sister Su and Sister Xuan, and a dog came, and Xuanyao and I ran away, and the dog chased after us. Sister Su didn't run, and she was fine. That time, our shoes all ran off. ”

Sanxi nodded.

Yu Qi said: "Sister Su told us that we can't run when we encounter a dog, and if we provoke it, we have to chase and bite." So, let's stand for a while, quietly. ”

The two of them stood outside the courtyard gate for a while, because the dog barked too loudly, and they were worried that it would attract people, so they became more and more concentrated and held their breath, and did not dare to come out half-loud. After a while, the dog's barking died down.

Later, Yu Qi grabbed Sanxi and signaled to continue walking lightly. Gui Yuan saw this scene, and she hid far away in the corner of the courtyard wall. When he saw Yu Qi turn around and go to the fence bamboo garden, Gui Yuan also turned back to the Cao family and reported to her.

Gui Yuan said to Cao's family: "Madam, Miss Qi went to the fence bamboo garden and played with the dog outside the dog door for a while. ”

After hearing this, Cao Shi was angry and said, "Okay! I really didn't expect it! These people, all from outside, are all breathing out of one nostril, secretly colluding to deal with me! ”

Guiyuan didn't dare to speak.

I heard Cao Shi say again: "Has Yuyuan come back?" ”

Gui Yuan said: "Not yet." ”

Cao Shi said evilly: "Isn't it the words that the Yuyuan girl passed on to me?" I haven't seen it back for a long time, maybe the fence bamboo garden will tie up the jade circle and not give it out? Look at it! ”

Gui Yuan replied with a "yes" and withdrew.

In fact, Cao's anger was due to two things.

The reason was that Aunt Nazha was angry with the master, did not eat sour plums, and instead ate spicy seeds, and then asked Yi Linglong to sell spicy seeds outside. The girl named Chili was afraid that her aunt wouldn't be able to stand the spicy, so she went to ask the cook to cook a dish privately. It just so happened that there was no food in the kitchen, only a pig's knuckle was left, so I made a 'Nanban pig's knuckle' and put a little spicy food. The mother-in-law who served the vegetables to the Cao family walked around the kitchen every day, and when she knew about this, she came to Cao and said, "The aunt of the fence bamboo garden likes to eat spicy seeds. Ask the cook to get one! Let's go! ”

Cao's is very strange, because in the past few months, Aunt Nazha has been eating sour, how can she change her spicy food? Isn't it the son of the child?

Because he was not at ease, he asked someone to send the cook to ask, but the cook did not dare to hide it, and replied: "Nanban pig hand, also known as Bodhisattva Man, is also called Nanbanzi." The meaning of Kannon sending a child. My dish is not only spicy, but also sour. Mrs., the meaning is a rich gold bead (pig), how can it be a girl? It should be twins, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious! ”

The cook is also selfish, knowing that pregnant women eat food, and they have always been pro-sour children and avoid spicy women, so asking him to make a spicy dish is not a clear curse for others to give birth to daughters? The second master knows how to spare himself. But if the master wants to eat, he can't shirk it, so he puts some sour and spicy. Just when Cao asked, he found something to say to pass the matter.

The old lady said before that even if the aunt gave birth to a son, she would have to call herself a mother in the end, which was no different from Zhengchu, so she was still looking forward to Aunt Nazha giving birth to a son. But when she heard that Aunt Nazha was eating spicy seeds, Cao's heart was empty, thinking that she was going to give birth to a daughter. But the cook said that he might have to give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, what a good person, give birth to two children at a time, and in the future, the old lady and the old man will not hold her to the sky?

At that moment, in order to hide his emotions, Cao casually asked Nanban how to do it?

The cook said: "This dish is complicated and trivial, raw with a pig's hand, chop it into pieces, put it in water and boil it for half cooking, then wash it with cold water in a deep well, and then soak it in hot water for half a day. After the tendons of the pork knuckle are hard, then boil them in the pot, cook them for eight minutes, get out of the pot, steam them in the steamer and rice, let the meat enter the rice fragrance, and it takes about a stick of incense here. After a stick of incense, bring out the pork knuckles. Start another boiler, fry spices, spices place: dog fragrance, fish oil, vegetable essence, Zhenhai vinegar, star anise, cinnamon, fennel powder, rock sugar, spicy seeds, ginger, melon garlic, tender lady garlic, etc. The fire is from large to lukewarm, the vinegar is spicy, the water is opened, the steamed pork knuckle is put into it, and the pan is fried into the flavor. Out of the pot ......"

After hearing this, Cao Shi waved his hand and said: "I didn't make it so carefully, but I made it so fine for the side room." It can be seen that you want to worship her as your wife. The fence bamboo garden gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, which is all due to the pig's foot pole you made! In the future, the lord will definitely reward you greatly. ”

The cook also thought that Cao Shi cared about his cooking skills, and in order to show off his skills, he poured out the details and said. When he heard Cao's words, the cook turned white with fright, and stood tremblingly with his hands down, not daring to say anything more.

This is the fuse of Cao's anger.

Secondly, the second thing.

Cao's real anger is from this morning from the old lady to ask for a return, a girl reported that the fence bamboo garden raised the table to set up offerings, in the courtyard to worship God, the girls all went to see, said that the worship is very strange. After Cao Shi heard this, he thought of the Nanban pig's hand, and he was even more angry.

According to the ghosts and gods, the old lady does not believe in it, and has strictly ordered everyone in the house several times not to spread the theory of ghosts and gods, and not to worship gods and raise ghosts in private. Everyone in the house knows about this. Of course, the Cao family remembered that managing the daily life of the Zhuang Mansion and worshipping gods and ghosts was the first taboo for her. Now that she heard that the girls had gone to take a look, she was afraid that the old lady would know and blame.

Therefore, on the one hand, he asked Yuyuan to spread the word to stop the fence from continuing to worship God, and on the other hand, he asked Guiyuan to seal the mouths of the girls. In the process, Yu Qi came.

Now, the Cao family asked Guiyuan to go to the fence bamboo garden to see how Yuyuan stopped worshipping the gods.

After Guiyuan went out, he bumped into Yuyuan under the porch.

Yuyuan was wet and aggrieved, and was coming back from the direction of the fence bamboo garden.

Guiyuan asked Yuyuan: "They refuse to listen?" Still splashing you with cold water? ”

Yuyuan cried aggrievedly: "What a yard of demons and monsters! No one listened to what my wife said, so I had to go there myself. I can't be persuaded anymore! ”

Guiyuan comforted Yuyuan while helping her back to see Cao.
