Princess Jiang Jun couldn't believe it, everyone in the Qingjiang Hou's mansion lost their minds and went crazy?By distorting Mrs. Xu's reputation like this, wouldn't she want to offend the Xu family to the death?Offending Xu's family, what good does Qingjianghoufu have for him?Princess Jiang rubbed her temples with a terrible headache, she was at a loss for a while, Mrs. Xu is seeing good things every day, Yaoyao is right, she can't hear such bad things, her body is the most important thing, but this matter can't be like this Ignore it, they can't let them tarnish Mrs. Xu's reputation like this, Princess Jiang thought about it for a long time, and raised her voice to order the car to be prepared. This matter can't be ignored. I have to find Mrs. Huang to see if she heard about it. No, listen to what she means.

Mrs. Xu's elder brother, Xu Xuwen, came out of Xu Shangshu's mansion, his lungs were about to explode. As a younger sister, he watched her grow up. I know her character and temper best. She is just too virtuous. , the Qingjiang Hou Mansion, which is so used to, is full of monsters and ghosts, so arrogant that it ruins her reputation so much!
Xu Xueshi jumped on his horse and urged the horse to run halfway to the Qingjiang Marquis's Mansion. Suddenly he stopped the horse, and sternly ordered the long follower: "Go out of the city and go to Fayun Temple!" The long follower knew that Xu Xueshi was in a rage, so how dare he There was a half-delay, so he hurriedly turned his horse's head, left the city and went straight to Fayun Temple.

On a tall ancient tree in the back garden of the other courtyard outside Fayun Temple, Yue Niang was sitting on a branch with thin arms that protruded from the wall, leaning against the tree behind her, swinging her legs and eating melon seeds, leisurely. Looking at the post road leading to the capital from the bottom of the mountain.

On the porch at the entrance of the wing room on the west side of the main courtyard, Yu Yaofang was talking to Li Tian in a low voice: "...I always feel that my uncle must go straight to the Hou's mansion when he hears such words."

"I don't think so. Although your uncle says he is noble and unwilling to enter an official career, he is not the kind of nerd who only knows how to read and has no understanding of human affairs. Who doesn't know that he is cautious and careful in his actions, and the officials have praised him so much. Hearing this In other words, if you are extremely angry, you must be extremely angry, but it is not enough to rush to the Qingjiang Hou Mansion, no matter what, this is just a gossip, what can he do if he refuses to admit it? I think he must first Come here to talk to your mother." Li Tian said in a leisurely tone, Yu Yaofang breathed a sigh of relief, pressed her hands together under her chin, and said in an anxious low voice: "I waited all day yesterday, and I don't know what will happen today. I won't come, this heart is so painful."

"Look at you, what's the rush? If you don't come today, there will be tomorrow, and if you don't come tomorrow, there will be the day after tomorrow. If you don't come the day after tomorrow, let people go to the city to have a look and talk to you. Don't worry, they say that marching and fighting are very important." Be patient, and secondly, be calm, we are fighting like a war, you have to be patient and steady." Li Tian pushed Yu Yaofang and smiled, Yu Yaofang put down her hands and was about to answer when she caught a glimpse of Yueniang coming from the Moon Gate The son jumped up, clasped his hands nervously in front of his chest, and stared straight at Yue Niang.Yue Niang's brows were full of wrinkles, she took half a step back and looked Yu Yaofang up and down, pointed at Yu Yaofang and turned to look at Li Tian, ​​saying: "This girl is too impatient."

"Here?" Li Tian also stood up and asked, Yue Niang nodded: "The horse is not slow, and we will reach the gate of the courtyard in another quarter of an hour."

"Tian Tian!" Yu Yaofang was nervous and excited at the same time, she stretched out her hand to hold Li Tian's arm tightly, and her hands trembled a little.

"Don't worry, there are still many things to do. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly." Li Tian hurriedly hugged Yu Yaofang and said, Yu Yaofang took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and exhaled it all out.Yue Niang raised her eyebrows, looked at Yu Yaofang amusedly, lowered her head and found a short thick incense stick from her purse, looked back at Li Tian, ​​saw her lowered her eyes, turned around and entered the room holding the incense stick, Li Tian patted Yu Yaofang and said in a low voice, "Stay calm, let's go in and have a look."

Yu Yaofang nodded heavily, and entered the upper east room side by side with Li Tian. Seeing that Yue Niang had chased away all the maids and women, she lit the incense sticks with a lighter, watched the green smoke from the incense sticks, and carefully sent the incense sticks to the bedroom. Under the nose of Mrs. Xu, who was on fire, gently fanned the smoke with one hand, sending the smoke into Mrs. Xu's nasal cavity. Seeing that the incense stick had burned half an inch, Yue Niang extinguished the incense stick, stretched out her hand and flicked Mrs. Xu's forehead, Turning to look at the two of them, he said with a smile, "Don't worry, she won't be able to wake up even if there are firecrackers in her ears right now."

Yu Yaofang looked at her mother very worried, Li Tian patted her to comfort her and said, "Don't worry, just let her sleep more deeply, it's harmless to her body." Yue Niang turned her head back and forth to look at Mrs. Xu's face, Yue Niang looked back and forth several times, then turned to look at Li Tian and said: "In my opinion, her face is ugly enough, how much more ugly?"

"Well, the uglier the better, you can fix it up."

"Okay." Yue Niang untied the purse hanging behind her, loosened the rope, untied it and spread it around Mrs. Xu, turned around and poured a bowl of warm water, took some powder from the purse, melted it in the palm of her hand, and used her fingers Apply a little bit on Mrs. Xu's face, Yue Niang took a half step back after wiping it a few times, and then stepped back to look after a few more times. After a while, Madam Xu's face turned yellowish gray and rough, as if she was dying people in general.

Yue Niang put on the makeup for Mrs. Xu, put away the things, and gestured triumphantly: "How is my skill?" Li Tian pulled Yu Yaofang closer to look carefully, smiled and said with relief: "It's really good, good Now, it’s up to you next time.” Li Tian turned her head to Yu Yaofang and said the last sentence, Yu Yaofang closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said heavily: “Don’t worry, don’t just cry, I can do it just like a shrew rolling around on the floor!"

"Then I'll hide in the back garden first, don't worry for a while, if you can't think of anything for a while, just cry, think while crying." Li Tian confessed, pulled Yue Niang and walked out, Yu Yaofang nodded in agreement, and went He took two steps back and sat on the armchair, closed his eyes and replayed the words that he would cry when he saw his uncle later.

Xu Xueshi jumped off his horse at the gate of the other courtyard, and couldn't wait for his mother-in-law to pass on the news, so he rushed into the vertical flower gate ahead of her mother-in-law.

Yu Yaofang rushed out of the upper room to greet her, and when she saw her uncle, her stomach was full of grievances, and tears burst out of her eyes without even brewing.

"Uncle." Yu Yaofang choked up and shouted, Xu Xueshi patted Yu Yaofang's shoulder distressedly and comforted him: "Don't cry, what's the matter with your mother?" Yu Yaofang stepped aside, pointed to the room, and said painfully Without saying a word, Xueshi Xu hurried into the room, ignoring any etiquette, and rushed straight to Mrs. Xu's bed in the east chamber. When he saw his sister, who looked sallow and dead like a dead person, he felt all burned up, and his hands trembled. Lie on the edge of the bed, kneeled down in front of the bed as soon as his legs gave up, holding his sister's exposed hand and crying bitterly.

Uncle Yu Yaofang, who was heartbroken and weeping, rushed up like a tidal wave of years of grievances, knelt on the corner of her mother's bed, crying out of breath, Xu Xueshi cried for a while, carefully looked at her sleeping sister with red and swollen eyes, and turned to look at her. Looking at Yu Yaofang, she asked in a hoarse voice: "Didn't you say that you are better, why... this look, how is your mother?"

"Doctor Hu said..." Yu Yaofang replied while sobbing: "Say, it's much better than before moving out, much better than then." Xu Xue's eyes were burning with anger, and he stood up shaking his hands on the bed, lowering his headache and heart Staring at my sister for a while, I waved my hand and said, "Let's go out and talk, your mother...let her rest."

"Yeah." Yu Yaofang stood up and followed her uncle to the west chamber. Xueshi Xu frowned, looked at the east chamber and then at Yu Yaofang and asked, "Why is your mother sleeping so deeply? It's been like this for a while ?”

"No, Auntie couldn't sleep at night, and her sleep was extremely unsteady. Physician Hu prescribed Zhang Anshen's prescription. It didn't help after taking it a few days ago. In just these two days, after taking this soothing decoction, she slept very well. Shen, it’s much more comfortable when you wake up.” Yu Yaofang hurriedly explained, Xu Xueshi breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back and sat on the armchair, pointed to the chair and signaled Yu Yaofang to sit too: “That’s good, Doctor Hu I've seen the calming prescription, and there's nothing wrong with it, so it can be seen that your mother is indeed overworked."

Yu Yaofang raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and was secretly thinking about how she could ask her uncle about her visit quietly. Xu Xueshi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yu Yaofang and said, "You are a girl, so I shouldn't have asked you this. But your aunt is so ill, so I have to ask you this question." Yu Yaofang hurriedly looked up at her uncle, Xueshi Xu sighed angrily, looked at Yu Yaofang and said: "It has been spread all over the capital that your aunt is not virtuous. , I don’t need to mention anything else, just the same, I just want to ask you, is it true or not that your mother has never served your uncle’s meals? Tell me the truth.”

Yu Yaofang stared, her face full of astonishment, she slid down from the chair and knelt on the ground, crying, "My uncle doesn't know what kind of character Auntie is? Auntie would rather die by being wronged by herself, and she has to abide by women's morals. How can she do that?" Such a breach of etiquette? The old woman said that she was too old to get up and sleep well, so she wouldn't let her go to pay her respects, and even if she went, she refused to go in outside the courtyard. The old woman only stopped me and A Niang from the gate of the courtyard, and she used all kinds of excuses to prevent her from going in to visit Weng Weng, but my uncle said, what can A Niang do?"

Xueshi Xu was angry and startled, he clenched his fist and slammed it on the neighbors, Yu Yaofang looked at her uncle with tears in her eyes and continued: "Okay Weng, scolding my mother for being unfilial in front of everyone, the old lady sat beside her and looked at her and smiled Uncle, tell me, what can A Niang do? Can it be said that the mother-in-law didn’t let her in to serve? Isn’t that unfilial? Both sides are unfilial! The restaurants outside and Goulan Yueyue all came to Hou with IOUs written by my uncle. The government collected the bills, and my mother was concerned about my uncle's reputation, so she had to pay off the debt for him in a stroke, and was afraid that my uncle would waste his time, so I looked for an opportunity to tell my grandmother, but the grandmother said that my mother deducted my uncle's fees. , How Weng Weng loves my uncle, it's not like my uncle doesn't know, so he followed my grandmother and blamed my uncle for harshly accusing my uncle."
