Chapter Ninety-Eight:
Geng Cheng had such a big event, it was a big deal in Bofu, but looking at the entire Ningdu, no one knew about it at all, but the yamen where he was located knew it.
Some people come to the door to care, and some people gloat, everyone has different attitudes, but the perception of the outcome of this matter is the same, that is, Geng Cheng will not be able to go to the government in the future, if he does not take the initiative to resign, he can only be persuaded to retire.
On the third day of Geng Cheng's injury, Geng Shulou returned.
Geng Xingshuang only knew that Geng Shulou had been in Yide Courtyard for more than an hour, because Yide Courtyard was guarded by Liang Ben, and there was no suitable place behind Geng Xun's study, so Jinbao couldn't hear what they were talking about.
However, in the following days, Geng Shulou did not do anything, although he did not go to the academy, but every day except for going to the backyard to see Geng Cheng, most of the time he spent in the study study.
As for the progress of Geng Xun's investigation, even the Xia family and the Yao family didn't know, because Jinbao didn't hear anything from them, Geng Xingshuang could only ask Zhan Pei and them to pay more attention to the situation outside.
As for Zhan Pei's speculation, the first group of people who attacked Geng Cheng at that time may have been her third uncle and her father, Geng Xingshuang has often observed her father recently, but her father is often not in the house, and he has been helping Geng Cheng find a famous doctor outside, and he is very conscientious, and Geng Yan is too, so she can't test it.
But it's okay like this, I can't see it, I hope that the uncle and the second room can't see anything.
With the passage of time, Geng Cheng's injuries stabilized, but Geng Wen Geng Yan and even the entire Bofu asked around to find it, but did not find a famous doctor or a good prescription that could continue the hamstrings and tendons.
Geng Xingshuang often heard that there was a sound of scolding and roaring in the Yinghe Courtyard, mixed with a word or two of ridicule from time to time.
The former is Geng Cheng's unwillingness and powerlessness, and the latter is Yao's belated counterattack.
Geng Xingshuang met Yao a few times in the mansion, and found that she was not depressed because of Geng Cheng's paralysis, but her complexion was much better.
"In this way, the person who broke the second uncle's hamstring seems to have done a good thing, and the second uncle has become like this, in addition to the sadness of his grandfather and grandmother and the elder brother, even the second aunt and the fourth sister seem to be just doing it on the surface, not really sad."
On this day, Geng Xingchen finally drew a batch of shoes, and made samples himself, and the next thing, because the business in the shop is getting busier and busier now, only relying on her and the maids of Wutong Courtyard can no longer meet the supply of Mingshang Pavilion, so he also handed over part of the work of making shoes to the embroidery workshop, so Geng Xingchen can also be much easier.
Geng Xingchen, who was finally relieved, ran to Qingcui Courtyard to talk to Geng Xingshuang, and the most he said was of course the matter in the second room.
"I don't know if my grandfather found out who attacked the second uncle that night, did the third uncle say anything?"
The third uncle couldn't hide his words more than her father, and Geng Xingshuang thought that he might leak something out of his words about the attack on the Luxun River that night.
Geng Xingchen shook his head, "My father is quite concerned about the second uncle, he used to always scold him, I thought that the second uncle is like this now, my father will definitely gloat and say something that deserves it, but I didn't expect that for the sake of the second uncle, he not only went out every day to inquire where there was a famous doctor who could continue the tendons of his hands and feet, but also often went to his grandfather and grandmother to walk around and ask about the progress of his grandfather's investigation, but I heard my father say that although my grandfather used all the relationships that he could use, even Uncle Liang was sent out to visit around, but so far, nothing has been found." ”
Geng Xingshuang nodded, relieved, the more time passed, the more difficult it became to check.
Soon, May 22 arrived, the Liu family did not send someone to carry Geng Xingyu, Geng Xingshuang and others breathed a sigh of relief, but according to the news from Jinbao, Geng Cheng sent another fire, and it was Geng Shulou who went in to persuade him to stop.
"I heard that the second wife has moved to the east wing, and I told Miss Zhang and Miss Ni to take turns to take care of the second master, Miss Zhang and Miss Ni will be scolded every day, and Miss Ni will bring some wounds out every time she goes."
Jinbao's biggest pleasure now is to inquire about the chickens and dogs in the second room, Miss Zhang and Miss Ni are Geng Cheng's two rooms, probably Yao's also knew that Geng Cheng had gone too far before, and if Aunt Peng was asked to take care of Geng Cheng, he didn't know what would happen, so he used the two rooms.
Geng Xingshuang was painting, originally just listening to it without a match, but when she heard this, her hand holding the pen paused slightly.
"You mean, the Zhang clan didn't get beaten?"
Jin Bao nodded, "That's what the little maids in Yinghe Courtyard said, when they said this, some people also raised questions, saying that they might have been beaten, but Miss Zhang hid it well and was not seen, but there was a little maid who specially waited for tea and said that when she went in to deliver tea every day, if she met Miss Ni waiting in the house, the second master would scold her harshly, if it was Aunt Zhang, the second master would not speak with a cold face most of the time. ”
"So, the second uncle prefers Aunt Zhang?"
Geng Xingshuang had never inquired about these things in the second house before, after all, she was a niece, so she asked what she was doing with this.
But now this matter makes her a little puzzled, her second uncle is like that, and it is really unexpected that she can watch people serve dishes in two rooms.
"Girl, the slave maid also felt strange, so I specially asked, in the past, the second master was almost the same for the two rooms, but not long ago, the second master obviously preferred to go to Aunt Zhang."
"Not so long ago?"
"There is a little maid who has calculated it, and it was probably during the time when the third girl recognized her ancestors and returned to her ancestors."
Does this matter still have anything to do with Geng Xingshui? Is it a coincidence or does it really have anything to do with it?
"Girl, Lu Xuan came over just now and went to the wife's house." The curtain came into the house to report.
Geng Xingshuang was about to wait for Lu Xuan to leave, and then went to the main house to ask if it was Mrs. Bo who wanted to do something again, so Marigold came over and asked her to go to the main house.
"Mrs. Bo said, tomorrow I will go to the Yaowang Temple to offer incense, pray for your second uncle, let us all go."
As soon as Geng Xingshuang entered the house, Ruan Shi said the purpose of Lu Xuan's coming to Qingcui Courtyard.
"Doesn't grandmother believe in this?"
Mrs. Bo is different from many old ladies from rich and noble families, she does not often go to the temple to offer incense, she can't go once a year, and occasionally she goes at the invitation of Xiao Xia, the old lady of the Zhu family.
"Listen to Lu Xuan's meaning, it was originally proposed by your fourth sister, she wanted to go to the Yaowang Temple with the third girl to make incense, pray for your second uncle, and pay tribute to filial piety, Mrs. Bo probably has no choice, these days I have invited dozens of doctors, and the doctors who are famous in Ningdu City have all been invited, and now I will send the imperial doctor, but with the current situation of our family, we can't invite the imperial doctor, so I can only try to pray to the gods and Buddhas."
"A dead horse should be a live horse doctor!" Geng Xingshuang blurted out.
Ruan Shi glanced at her, "You can't say that outside. ”
"I know." Geng Xingshuang coquettishly, "I have always been the most reliable, mother, you don't know." ”
