Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 185 Uncle Zhou is insidious, Brother Run is poisoned
Longqingtang is the most prosperous opera theater in the capital, and today's performance is "Farewell My Concubine".

Chu Sui reserved a private room, he sat side by side with Wan Shu, and let Brother Run sit on his right.Before the play started, Wan Shu whispered to Chu Sui. After all, Brother Run was a child. It was his first time to come to the play garden. He curiously walked to the front guardrail and looked down.

There are rows of chairs under the stage, and now the hall is full of guests, and the opera singers have not yet come out. Brother Run looked at the guests under the stage one by one, and saw a woman sitting on her lap with her daughter in her arms, Brother Run's eyes froze. Feeling sour, I thought of my mother, who also liked to hug him like that and tell him stories.

He stared at the pair of children, mother and daughter, unable to move his eyes away.

Wan Shu talked a lot, and most of the time Chu Sui was absent-minded when he listened. When he found his son staring at one place, Chu Sui smiled. When Wan Shu stopped for a while, he raised his voice and asked his son, "Brother Run, what are you looking at?" ?”

Brother Run tried his best to hold back his tears, and smiled without turning his head: "There is a little girl over there, who is still being hugged by her mother when she is so old." His father never said it, but Brother Run knew that his father didn't like his mother, otherwise he would He won't ask about his mother at all, and he won't marry another woman.

Chu Sui also grew up from a boy, and understood his son's disdain for a little girl. Since his son was enjoying himself, he continued to listen to Wan Shu's chatting. If she was the overlord of Chu, she would never commit suicide easily. if.

After drinking two cups of tea, a gong sounded from under the stage, and it was about to start.

Brother Run obediently retreated to sit next to his father. Chu Sui was hugged by Wan Shu with his left hand and his son's little hand with his right. Neither his wife nor his son was left behind.But Brother Run saw his aunt hugging his father's arm, and the boy wanted to be alone with his father. Now that his father and his aunt were acting intimately, Brother Run felt that his father didn't particularly like him.

Being neglected by his father, Brother Run missed Uncle Zhou more and more, always remembering Uncle Zhou's instructions, Brother Run gently tugged on his father's sleeve, "Daddy, I want to clean the room."

Chu Sui nodded, and ordered the chief follower, Agui, to accompany his son.

The theater has two floors. There is a clean room in the north and south of the second floor, the south one is for male guests, and the north one is for female guests.Brother Run followed Agui to the clean room on the south side, told Agui to wait outside, he went in by himself, and said considerately before he went in: "You find a place to sit, I may be here for a long time."

Ah Gui knew that the young master was going to be a mess, so he nodded with a smile, and when Brother Run went in, he walked to the window a few steps away, leaned his back against the window sill, and stared at the corridor.The show had just started, and at this time the guests were watching with great enthusiasm, and almost no one came to use the toilet, so the entire corridor was empty, only the singing from the first floor came up in rhythmic rhythms.Agui is a servant, and he doesn't have much time to enjoy this kind of place. He looked at the corridor, but his attention was attracted by the singing, and he hummed unconsciously.

There are a total of eight compartments in the cleaning room, two rows on the left and right. Brother Run went all the way in, and when he got to the innermost, he found a small stone outside the left compartment.This was the secret signal that Uncle Zhou had agreed with him. Brother Run was so happy that he put his head on the door panel and called "Uncle Zhou" quietly.

Uncle Zhou coughed softly, then pushed the door open from the inside.

Reunited after a long absence, Brother Run saw Uncle Zhou, and the grievance that had been suppressed for almost a month suddenly surged up, walked in quickly, threw himself into Uncle Zhou's arms and cried.As long as he could remember, there were only his mother and Uncle Zhou by his side. Brother Run once suspected that Uncle Zhou was his father. Otherwise, why would Uncle Zhou treat him so well?Although Brother Run now knows that his father is the second master of the Duke's Mansion, Brother Run still likes Uncle Zhou very much, even more than his father.

"Uncle Zhou, my mother doesn't want me anymore..."

Speaking of sadness, Brother Run almost couldn't suppress his voice.

"Brother Run, don't cry, your mother lives in our house, she didn't want you."

Time is running out, and someone may come over at any time, Uncle Zhou has no time to waste.He sat on the lidded pail, held Brother Run's shoulders with his big hands, and said to the shocked boy in a voice that only two of them could hear: "Brother Run, your mother's status is low, your father, great-grandmother, Grandmother wouldn't let her in, and drove your mother away while you were asleep, so she lied to you because she was afraid you would get angry. Brother Run, now that your mother has returned to my side, she begged me to find a way to send her into the country. Uncle Zhou has a way to reunite with you, but Brother Run must help you, Brother Run, do you dare?"

The words were a little fast, but Brother Run understood. Daddy and his great-grandmother lied to him. Brother Run was very angry, but he wanted to reunite with his mother more quickly, so he nodded vigorously, and stared bravely at Uncle Zhou said: "I dare, Uncle Zhou, teach me quickly!"

Uncle Zhou nodded, and quickly took out a white porcelain bottle the size of half a pinky finger from his sleeve, opened the stopper and let Brother Run look inside, "Brother Run, here are three pills, which will melt in water, colorless and tasteless, you can take advantage of it." Inadvertently put it into the tea of ​​Mrs. Tai, Aunt Chu Ying and your father. They will get sick if they drink it. The doctor can't cure it. Only I have the antidote. Uncle Zhou will give the antidote to your mother, and your mother will cure them. They just like your mother, and they will never drive her away again, right?"

Brother Run's eyes lit up.After all, he is only seven years old, he may have the ability to hide his thoughts from adults, but he is far from smart enough to question whether Uncle Zhou's plan is feasible.What Uncle Zhou said was swearing, Brother Run also thought it was very reasonable, coupled with the impatient reunion with his mother, the boy never doubted it at all.

But there is something he doesn't understand, "Why did you make your great-grandmother and second aunt sick?" Daddy must be sick, and if mother cures him, daddy will love mother so much.

Uncle Zhou laughed and said, "Because Mrs. Tai is the most effective speaker in the Duke's Mansion. As long as she doesn't agree to your mother's entry, your father will not agree. Besides Mrs. Tai, you have to agree with your uncle Chu Guogong, but he is too smart. Yes, he may find out that you took the medicine, so Brother Run has to put the pills in your second aunt's tea. The second aunt is your uncle's only sister. Your mother cured his sister's illness. He must be grateful to your mother ,Right?"

Brother Run suddenly realized.

Uncle Zhou continued to instruct: "Brother Run, remember, the attack will occur three days after taking this medicine. You'd better feed the three of them within one day, and the interval should not exceed three days at the latest. After it's done, you Let off fireworks at night, I saw it outside, and send your mother there immediately. Then you must not let anyone find out about this, or your mother will be killed."

Brother Run looked at the small porcelain bottle in Uncle Zhou's hand, pursed his lips, reached out to take the small porcelain bottle, and put his head down into his pocket.He wanted to live a rich life in the Duke's mansion, and he also wanted to bring his mother in to enjoy the blessings. He just need to quietly put the pills in his father's tea. Brother Run didn't think it was too difficult.

The boy was brave enough, Uncle Zhou gave him an encouraging kiss and asked Brother Run to repeat his plan.

What Brother Run said was very simple, but he remembered everything that should be remembered.

Uncle Zhou was very relieved, and finally said: "Brother Run, hold your breath. Before you see your mother, you can't tell anyone about this. Daddy is sick, so you have to pretend you don't know anything."

Brother Run hummed.If he told Dad that he had given the medicine, Dad would definitely be angry.

He gave all the instructions, and Uncle Zhou hugged Brother Run hard, and told him to wash his face before going out. If anyone saw that he was crying, they would say that he missed his mother.

Before we parted, Brother Run held Uncle Zhou's hand reluctantly, and said eagerly: "Uncle Zhou, tell my mother that I miss her every day, so don't worry, I, I'll get things done tomorrow! "

"Brother Run, Uncle Zhou will definitely tell your mother." Uncle Zhou kissed the little guy again.

Brother Run still wanted to ask Uncle Zhou to help him deliver a message to his mother, but Uncle Zhou was worried that the delay would be too long and people outside would suspect him, so he put his index finger on Brother Run's lips and forbade him to say any more.There was also his person in the compartment next to the door. The other party was in charge of guarding. Knowing that no one else came in, Uncle Zhou opened the door directly, pushed Brother Run out without hesitation, and then closed it again.

Across the door, Brother Run stared at the door panel eagerly. He didn't turn around until he heard Uncle Zhou's urging from inside, and then walked out.After going out, Brother Run's mind was full of Uncle Zhou, he didn't look for Agui, and walked back along the way he came from.When Ah Gui saw him, he thought that the young master was in a hurry to go to the theater, so he silently followed behind, and only reminded Brother Run when he almost missed the private room booked by the second master.

Brother Run came back to his senses, looked down at his purse, and when he raised his head again, he looked like a child happily watching a play again.When his son came back, Chu Sui gently patted his son's head, pointed to the stage and told his son in a low voice who those people were. Brother Run looked up, but remembered Uncle Zhou's words in his heart, he loved his father so much, Daddy lied to him...

Brother Run is very sad.

He really liked Dad, but Dad didn't like Mother, for Mother's sake, he could only make Dad sick.

In order to see the stage more clearly, the light in the private room was relatively dim, Brother Run was holding the purse in his little hand, while the adults were watching the play and the servants were standing behind, Brother Run unknowingly opened the purse, and separated Holding the small porcelain bottle with her purse, she carefully poured a small pill into the palm of her hand.It's all right, Brother Run put the lid on the porcelain bottle, and slowly tightened the purse.

Ready, Brother Run didn't rush to prescribe the medicine, but watched the play intently. After a while, he put the pill on the hem of his clothes, covered it with his purse, and then went to take the tea bowl in front of his father with both hands.Chu Sui saw his son's small movements and didn't take it seriously, but Wan Shu frowned and reminded Brother Run softly: "Brother Run drinks from his own tea bowl."

If Chu Sui said this, Brother Run must be guilty, but Wan Shu is someone he hates. Brother Run is not convinced and will be disciplined by her. If he is not convinced, he will not be afraid. Looking up at his father, his eyes are watery, " Daddy, I want to share a teacup with you."

His son acted like a baby with him, but Chu Suina was reluctant to object, nodded in acquiescence, then held Wan Shu's hand, turned his head and whispered to his wife, "Brother Run is still young, let him go." Shu's ears know that Wan Shu likes this one the most.

Wan Shu was so kissed that half of her body softened, why would she want to waste her time getting angry with a small wild species?

The couple didn't know that while they were whispering, Brother Run took a sip of tea, and then sneakily put a bean-sized pill into the tea bowl.Seeing the pill disappear without a trace with his own eyes, Brother Run was very satisfied, and put the bowl back in front of his father steadily.

Chu Sui gradually became thirsty. When he reached out to hold the tea, he remembered that the tea had been drunk by his son. He felt a slight discomfort in his heart. He looked at his son instinctively, but saw that his son was also looking at him.Chu Sui was afraid that changing the tea by himself would make the little guy sad, so he smiled helplessly, picked up the tea bowl and drank it directly.

My own son has nothing to dislike.

After one sip, there was a second sip. At the end of the scene, Chu Sui drank three bowls of tea in total. The middle one was drugged by Brother Run because it tasted like the tea itself. Didn't find anything unusual.

After watching the play, he took his wife and children to go shopping with great interest.

After successfully feeding his father the medicine, Brother Run became more daring. The next morning he went with Wan Shu to pay his respects to Madam Tai. Go to listen to Mr. lecture again.Mrs. Tai was willing to spoil him. Before his grandson left, he obediently brought tea to her. Mrs. Tai smiled from ear to ear and drank several sips happily.

"I haven't finished drinking yet." Brother Run looked at the tea bowl and said innocently.

The child has his own naive insistence, as if it is really rare for him to show his filial piety after drinking it. Mrs. Tai smiled and touched the top of her great-grandson's head, and drank the rest of the tea in one go.

Uncle Zhou asked him to feed three people pills, and two of them ate smoothly. Thinking that he would see his mother as soon as possible after feeding the second aunt, Brother Run was very happy. After finishing school in the morning, he didn't go Sanqiutang did not go back to Xianyuntang either, but led the maid to Chu Ying's Fragrant Garden.

Chu Ying happened to have her menstruation today, she was not feeling well, she was lying in the room, she was a little surprised when she learned that her new nephew was here, but she still sat up, waiting to entertain the little guests.

"Auntie, are you sick?" Brother Run came to the bed, seeing the gentle and amiable second aunt leaning there with a pale face, Brother Run asked sensiblely.

"A little illness, it will be fine tomorrow, why did Brother Run come by himself?" Chu Ying patted the side of the bed, beckoning the boy to come and sit down.Brother Run's status is embarrassing, Chu Ying never took the initiative to get close to Brother Run, but she has a good relationship with sister Chu Xiang, Chu Xiang often brought Brother Run over, and Chu Ying and the boy became acquainted.The boy's aunt shouted so dearly, Chu Ying couldn't help wanting to be nice to him, to be by her side, not afraid of getting in the way of the second sister-in-law's eyes.

"I don't really understand what the teacher taught me today. Third aunt doesn't like to teach me, so I came to you." Brother Run looked anxiously at the girl on the bed, "Second aunt, do you have the strength to teach me now?"

Chu Ying laughed and told him to take out the book.The third sister doesn't like reading, no wonder her nephew came to her.

Chu Ying's voice was very nice, Brother Run listened very carefully, as if he really didn't understand.After Chu Ying had finished speaking, Brother Run ran to the table, not allowing the maid to help, he rushed to pour a bowl of tea, and then held it in front of Chu Ying with his own hands, "Second aunt, drink tea to moisten your throat. "

The boy was so well-behaved, it was the first time she was honored by her nephew, Chu Ying felt warm in her heart, and took a sip of the tea.

"Second Auntie, drink more." Brother Run persuaded attentively.

The tea was cold, and Chu Ying felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so she said tactfully, "Auntie is not thirsty, let it be left for now, and drink later."

She was polite, but the maid beside her didn't want her master to suffer in vain, and explained to Brother Run with a smile: "Our girl can't get cold right now."

Brother Run looked at Chu Ying in surprise.

Chu Ying's pretty face was flushed, and in order to resolve the embarrassment, she softly persuaded: "It's time to eat, Brother Run, go back early."

Brother Run looked at the tea bowl that was taken away by the maid, and felt a little uneasy. The second aunt only took a sip, will she get sick?
