Chapter 234

Jiangnu held a lacquer plate in her hand, on which was a bowl of steaming medicine.

"Master, please get up and drink the medicine. The decoction is ready just now. Seeing that Master is in a deep sleep, and hearing that Master has not had a good rest recently, I didn't ask you to wake me up. I have been warming on the stove until now."

The lacquer plate was placed on the long table by the window. She picked up the bowl and walked to the edge, sat sideways, and gently stirred it with a spoon in her right hand, blowing it once in a while.

Xiao Yuandu thought about everything, but he couldn't figure it out.

And the Jiangnu who disturbed his mind is now approaching again, she looks as if she wants to feed herself medicine, just like when he was feeding her medicine on the boat back then.

Xiao Yuandu was startled, so he didn't have time to think about anything, sat up straight, grabbed the medicine bowl from Jiangnu's hand and drank it with his head up.

"Dang—" Beware of hot.

The reminder was only half spoken, and the pitch-black concoction had already entered his stomach.

Even hot and bitter, I saw Xiao Yuandu's eyebrows twitched, and his whole face was distorted for a moment.

But he wanted to pretend nothing had happened, and handed her the empty bowl, "It takes so much trouble to drink medicine!"

Jiang Fosang took the bowl and stood up, and poured a cup of tea, "My husband is neither afraid of scalding nor bitterness, ordinary people can't compare, but the medicinal juice is always bitter, so I'd better drink a cup of tea."

Xiao Yuandu didn't want to take it at first, but there was a bitter taste in his mouth, which reached his throat.

Anyway, I drank the medicine, and this cup of tea was not bad, so I took it and drank it down.

Jiang Nu handed over the clean kudzu towel again.

When picking up Ge Bu, he raised his eyes to look at Jiang Nu, and found that she seemed to be holding back a smile.When I met his eyes, my expression returned to normal.

Xiao Yuandu couldn't help being depressed, put his arms around his arms, and lay down again.

It was raining heavily outside the house, and there was already a lot of water on the ground. At this time, he had to wet his clothes, shoes and socks when he went back to the inner courtyard, so Jiang Fosang was in no hurry to leave, and went to sit by the window again.

The room suddenly fell silent, Xiao Yuandu stared at the beam, trying not to look there, but his ears were more sensitive than ever.The sound of wind and rain, the sound of flipping books, and the sound of Jiang Nu's light and even breathing, the sound hits my ears, and I can't cover it even if I try to cover it.

Don't want to think about it anymore, so I simply have nothing to say, "When will I arrive?"

Jiang Fosang stopped flipping the pages of the book, and replied, "It's the second quarter of the morning."

Xiao Yuandu is the mansion that Chen Zhengchu left, and the two happened to be staggered.

"Is Xiao Zhang's wedding still lively?"

"There are so many guests, it's very lively."

Jiang Fusang narrated the situation on the day of the wedding, and removed the part where Mrs. Zhai embarrassed her in public.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuandu snorted and laughed: "In such a big battle, he only married one, and I thought he married ten or eight, so that he couldn't finish his work."

Jiang Fosang thought to himself, could it be that she was blaming her for coming home late?

"It's not just about cousin Zhang's big wedding. My concubine Liaozuo and Xishi Ling jointly organized a brocade meeting. Although there are several stewards in charge, my concubine wants to stay and witness the grand occasion. The brocade meeting was held in the middle of last month. At the end, when the family was about to leave for the return journey, the family accidentally fell and injured—"

Mrs. Tong did fall and hurt herself, just after the Moon Festival.

Although the postponement of the tapestry show was the result of her negotiating with Jiang Fosang, she herself didn't like those noisy occasions, so she never went there.It wasn't until the last two days before the museum closed that I went to the exhibition hall with several ladies who had good friends with Beppu.

Xiao Yuanzhen and Xiao Yuanlong also followed, there were many people with mixed eyes, and they were at the age of being playful and active, so the servant disappeared without a single glance.

After Madam Tong learned about it, she hurriedly ordered to look for it. She and Yin Ji also ignored the brocade appreciation and went to look for it.

After looking through the three exhibition halls, there was no sign of anyone. The West Market Commander broke out in a sweat, and immediately closed the four gates of the West Market, ordering all the city officials to search along the street inch by inch.Not to mention shops, even the corners are not spared.

Soldiers from the Xiao Family's Mansion were dispatched outside the West Market.

Time passed and there was still no news. Yin Ji was crying so hard that she couldn't stand, and Mrs. Tong's expression was even more frightening.

Until the sky darkened, a faint cry came.

How can a mother not be familiar with the cry of her child?After some searching, it was found that it floated from the top floor of the city building.

Madam Tong sternly ordered people to open the gate of the city building, grabbed the lantern from the attendant and went up the wooden ladder first.

Xiao Yuanzhen and Xiao Yuanlong climbed to the top floor of the city building while others were not paying attention, they forgot the time when they were playing, and when they heard their names being called downstairs, they became more playful, wanting to see when these people would find them, So he hid in the attic.

Unexpectedly, the attic was really scary after dark, and the two cried out of fear. Madam Tong couldn't bear to reprimand when she saw it, so she handed over the lantern to the servants who came after them, and led them downstairs with one hand in each hand.

I don't know who slipped his foot first, Mrs. Tong couldn't hold it back, Xiao Yuanzhen and Xiao Yuanlong rolled down the wooden ladder.

Regardless of her own safety, Mrs. Tong rushed forward and hugged Xiao Yuanzhen. It was too late when she reached out to grab Xiao Yuanlong. She watched Xiao Yuanlong roll to the last level. Fortunately, there was a buffer between the next level. Life may not be saved.

As a result, Xiao Yuanlong was the most injured, followed by Mrs. Tong, and Xiao Yuanzhen, who was tightly protected by Mrs. Tong, was unscathed and was not frightened at all.

"Ah's family is injured, brothers and sisters-in-law take turns serving soup and medicine in front of them, how can I, a son-in-law, just walk out without leaving the house?"

"You are filial."

Jiang Fusang knew that Mrs. Tong was not his own mother, and he didn't ask a question when Mrs. Tong was injured. He behaved too "filial" in front of Mrs. Tong, and it might not be good in his eyes.

Then he sighed and said: "The master is a man, how can you know that it is difficult for a son and a wife? It is a duty to respect uncles and aunts. A word of filial piety may not crush a son to death, but it is more than enough to crush a son and a wife. After all, the son is raised by himself, no matter what Everyone is distressed; but the daughter-in-law is an outsider after all, and it will be difficult to go on the road after taking a wrong step, so who will feel sorry for the concubine at that time?"

These words somehow poked Xiao Yuandu, he was silent for a while, and then spoke again, but changed the topic.

"In short, it's all your reasoning. Who knows which sentence is true and which sentence is false, maybe it's because you don't want to return."

Jiang Fusang lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "How could it? I don't worry about my husband, and I will come as soon as the matter is settled."

Eloquent!

Xiao Yuandu sneered in his heart, but he remained silent.

When the atmosphere was about to cool down again, Xiutu and County Captain Sun returned to the Yamen.

After Xiao Yuandu was injured by the villagers, he rode back to the city directly. The two of them left the lockers and the people busy for half a day.

After the two entered the room, they found that Jiang Fosang was also there, and Sun Sheng bowed to salute.

Xiutu first looked surprised: "The young lady is back?!" Then he looked around, probably looking for Calamus.

Jiang Fusang knew that they had something serious to talk about, and wanted to avoid it, but Xiao Yuandu suddenly said, "We'll discuss it tomorrow."

The county magistrate's wife left Wu Xiong for nearly two months and only returned today. Sun Sheng was not indifferent, so she even resigned.

Xiutu said excitedly: "Young Madam, why did you come back so late? You're not here—"

Hearing the sound of wrong teeth, he belatedly noticed that the young master's eyes were not looking good.

Xiutu scratched his head, "This subordinate still has something to do..." and slipped away.

Jiang Fosang seemed to have just remembered, and asked in a chatty tone, "How did Husband Master get hurt?"

When this matter was mentioned, Xiao Yuandu became furious.

Zuo You and Jiang Nu had nothing else to say, so they roughly talked about the origin of their injuries.
