Chapter 77
Qin Guogong had no choice but to send the Ming family back to Tanzhou, and arranged for his second son, Qin Yue, to perform filial piety in front of the Ming family.At that time, Qin Yue was already married to the nobleman, and the Ming family was too old to worry about it, so the nobleman became the head mother of the Tanzhou Duke's Mansion, and she arranged all the big and small matters in the mansion.

You have a clever and exquisite heart, not only good at learning, but also taking care of the family well.The Ming family was full of praise for the nobleman.

Although the nobleman has no one in her natal family, her natal family had a very good reputation and high prestige when she was alive, and celebrities who opened and settled dynasties were all highly respected.In order to rectify the name of her natal family, she wrote a collection of poems, which was approved by Emperor He Dong and rewarded by the Queen.

The Duke of Qin's ancestor was a bandit, and the entire Duke's mansion lacked a reputation, and the nobleman just gave the Duke's mansion a reputation.Qin Guogong is very satisfied with the nobleman's daughter-in-law.

Later, the nobleman had a son, and the son was very upbeat.

The nobleman's life in the Tanzhou Duke's Mansion is generally good, but he is worried.

Qu Shi got up early and made dinner.Xiaoqing and Mrs. He were so ashamed that they apologized repeatedly.

After He got up and used it a little, he asked Xiaoqing to take it off. After the nobleman got up and washed, Mrs. He and Xiaoqing had already prepared lunch.

Li Jingjing looked at the nobleman with wide eyes, and asked with a smile: "Auntie, don't you eat breakfast at home?"

The nobleman blushed and said, "I'm just so casual at your house. I get up very early at my house."

Li Jingjing circled around the nobleman, "I don't believe it."

The nobleman explained: "Really. I get up early at home and eat some snacks."

Li Jingjing smiled and said: "My mother wants me to take your pulse, just wait until you have lunch."

Li Yunqing came back from the school, bowed to the nobleman, went to clean his hands, and the Li family began to eat.

It was as hot as a steamer outside at noon, and the cicadas were screaming irritably, which did not affect the good mood of the Li family in the slightest.

The host and guests sat at two tables in the main room, and the four servants brought by the nobleman, Wu Taoist and two Wu Taoist from the Li family sat at the second table.

The main table has ten dishes, and the second table has six dishes. The second table has stir-fried scallion fried dog meat, braised grass carp, cold sauced elbow flowers, and vegetarian fried bamboo shoots.

Just as Qu Shi was about to speak, He Shi shook his head lightly.

The nobleman beckoned to Xiaoqing, and said, "You have to serve meals according to the rules of Li's house when you come here. From now on, the meals at the two tables will be the same."

Xiao Qing respectfully replied: "Yes."

Li Yunxiao gloated and made a face at Xiaoqing.

The nobleman couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand lovingly to touch Li Yunxiao's hair, and said to He Shi: "Xinglang was as lively and mischievous as Xiaolang when he was young, but I changed it completely afterward."

He Shi said: "My nephew who I haven't met must be a good candidate for being a scholar when he was young. You must bring him over next time and let me have a look."

The nobleman nodded and said, "I'll bring him to stay at your house for a few more days while Dashu Academy is closed."

Qu looked at the eyes of the two sisters who were so red and swollen from crying that they could hardly open, and said considerately: "Sister-in-law, if it is inconvenient for you to come to the village, let sister Yi take Xiaoyazi and sister Jing to visit you in Tanzhou. "

Li Yunxiao exclaimed excitedly: "Okay. I'm going to play at my aunt's house."

The He family and the nobleman were overjoyed, both thanks to the Qu family.

Xiao Qing and Mrs. He at the second table were also very happy to see the nobleman smiling frequently.

The host and guest were having their lunch lively when they heard the urgent cries of a dozen men and women from outside.

The voice of an old and anxious old man sounded in the courtyard, "Sister Zhu, is your sister Jing there? Please hurry up and ask her to save your sixth uncle's only grandson."

Another grieving old man's voice sounded, "Zhumeizi, please save yourselves and let your Jingmeizi save my miserable grandson, he is about to die."

Qu Shi didn't care to touch the oil on his mouth, and left the dining table first to go outside.

He Shi said to the surprised nobleman: "Sister, this is for Jing Niang to ask for medicine, you sit and eat in the main room. Let's go outside and have a look."

Li Jingjing said: "Auntie, don't be afraid."

The nobleman nodded and said, "Don't worry. Auntie is very courageous and will not be afraid."

The Li family all put down their bowls and chopsticks and went out of the main room. The nobleman was very calm and still ate the meal gracefully. Xiao Qing who was standing behind her did not move even half a step.

The Li family's small yard is not small, with fruit trees, vegetables, and medicinal herbs planted, and the open space is nearly a hundred square meters. A dozen men and women come here at once, and they can stand there.

Among the visitors were the old patriarch, his eldest sons Qu Shun, Qu Langzhong and the old patriarch's six cousins. Brother's only son-in-law.

Qu Da, the eldest son of the old patriarch's sixth cousin, was holding a three or four-year-old unconscious child in his arms. This is the sufferer who was almost killed by his stepmother.

The son-in-law of the old patriarch's sixth cousin is Xiaotong's biological father, and his family lives in Xiaoju Village.Xiaotong's biological mother passed away the year before last, and his biological father married a very sinister woman, who has abused Xiaotong more than once, and everyone in Xiaoju Village knows about it.

The sixth cousin of the old patriarch is 70 years old, and he is still in good health, but in the twelfth lunar month, he can only shrink under the blanket and cannot go out of the house because he is afraid of the cold.

He stepped forward and kowtowed to Mrs. Qu, crying: "Sister Zhu, Hua Yazi is your cousin's only blood, our whole family kneels down for you, and begs you to let sister Jing save Hua Yazi's life. "

The son and grandson behind him immediately knelt down and kowtowed.The three daughters-in-law felt guilty for refusing to adopt the child several times in the past, and they also knelt down and said good things one after another.

It was not the first time that Qu's was begged by members of the clan. Every time, he hoped that Li Jingjing could save someone's life, so he turned his head and looked at Li Jingjing expectantly.

Li Jingjing nodded lightly and asked, "What's wrong with my little brother?"

She recognized Xiaotong.She is only one month older than Xiaotong.

A few years ago, when the little Tongniang was alive, she took him from house to house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year. At that time, he was wearing new clothes, and the smile on his face was as bright as Li Yunxiao's.

After Xiaotong's mother passed away, in the month when Xiaotong's father remarried, Xiaotong was taken to Qujia Village by his grandfather to live for ten days. At that time, he played behind her and her little friends, and he didn't know how to mourn for his biological mother's death.

Qu Langzhong replied: "He has been injured for a long time, he was poisoned by dampness a few days ago, and he had a high fever yesterday."

Li Jingjing wondered: "How can my little brother be injured for a long time?"

The old patriarch's sixth cousin's family stared angrily at Xiaotong's father.

"He was abused and beaten by his poisonous stepmother." Qu Langzhong took the boy with a serious face, sat directly on the seat under the orange tree, and stretched out his hand to take off the boy's clothes, leaving him only in underwear with blood stains on his face The skin without a piece of good meat is shocking and appalling.

Qu's lost her voice and said: "Poor little boy, how poisonous his stepmother's heart can be, that she managed to deal with such a cruel hand."
