Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 87
Ling Zhu left in a hurry after staying in Zhuangzi for three days. He wanted to continue to work harder for the future of his family.Seeing Ling Zhu like this, Qi Luo felt a little distressed, and she was also reflecting on whether she was too willful, so her mood was a little low.Qi Luo was constantly reflecting on everything that happened when she traveled to the Qing Dynasty. She clearly remembered that her wish at that time was a simple, ordinary, and low-key life, but what she understood was why she faced this situation now?It seems that everything that happens every time is such a coincidence, but if you think about it carefully, am you also a person who is not willing to be ordinary?Qi Luo picked up the preserved fruit in front of him and put it in his mouth. Does the sweet and sour feeling reflect his current life?

Hongying interrupted Qi Luo's contemplation and said, "Girl, my wife told you to get ready! My wife told me that I have stayed in Zhuangzi for too long, so I should go to the capital."

"Did something happen at home? Why are you in such a hurry?" Qi Luo asked.

"I haven't heard of this, but it's better to have a serious master in the mansion, otherwise those naughty people won't be turned upside down!" Hongying said while directing her people to pack their things.

They should indeed go back. They came here to avoid trouble, but unexpectedly, they would have more troubles here.Sitting in the carriage on the return journey, Qi Luo was no longer as excited as when he came.Only Mrs. Dong and Qi Luo were in the carriage. Seeing her daughter's depressed expression, Mrs. Dong hugged her distressedly, and comforted her softly, "Don't think too much, just like your Ama said, if you really become Everyone in the Qing Dynasty was a lady, so is that still our daughter? Impulsivity and shortcomings are vivid and complete, so let’s live according to your temperament, we know that you are already depressed enough in this era.”

Qi Luo leaned her head on Dong's shoulder and murmured, "But I seem to have caused a lot of trouble for you. I said I would be filial to you. I have reflected on it, but I didn't expect to face this kind of trouble." situation."

"Isn't it our job to solve your troubles? You just need to pay more attention outside in the future. In fact, we are not afraid of anything else, but we are a little worried that your reputation will be too famous or your reputation will be ruined, so we will be sad! But We believe in you. Although you are a little informal and love to follow your temper, you have never made mistakes in major matters. Don't worry too much about your father. Of course he worked so hard because of you, but he also He also hopes to realize his own value, which is also his wish for many years."

Qi Luo slipped into Dong Shi's arms and said, "It's great to have you by my side, we will always be together." Dong Shi hugged her coquettish daughter tightly. Dong's daughter also has such a side, Dong Shi is happy but also feels distressed, it seems that the impact and pressure on Qi Luo in this era are really great.

Back at home, Mrs. Dong ordered people to tidy up things while listening to Mother Zhao's report. "Everything is normal in the wife's house. Thanks to the wife's well-established rules, the servants are not lazy and slippery. The concubine is also very well-behaved and honest. She doesn't go out of the yard easily. She just concentrates on taking care of Mr. Huan. According to the wife's orders, give The monthly money of my concubine and Mr. Huan both increased to 20 taels."

"Well, this is very good. Qi Huan is studying in the Imperial College, which is related to the face of our Viscount Mansion, so there is nothing missing? You should pay more attention, after all, he was also praised by the emperor himself."

"It's no wonder the master respects his wife so much. Whose wife can care so much about the concubine like you? Please rest assured that the servant will take good care of it."

In fact, Mrs. Dong knew that Zhao Mama's attention had other meanings, so she could only shake her head helplessly, it seemed that she was too magnanimous!The dispute between the concubine and the concubine has always been the eternal theme of this era.

"Ma'am, has the servant ordered you to set the meal? After using it, you can go to bed earlier!" Mother Zhao suggested looking at the late sky.

"Well, you can order the dishes. The dishes are mainly light dishes. For dessert, make Qi Luo's favorite lotus seed soup, and then call Qi Luo to eat with me."

Zhao Nanny nodded in agreement, and went down to prepare to go.After a while, Qi Luo arrived, although he was still a little depressed.But it has improved a lot. Dong Shi knows that there are some things that she needs to figure out by herself.After a while, the four cold and four hot dishes were ready. Ling Zhu's family pays attention to quality rather than quantity when it comes to food. Dong's especially pays attention to healthy eating. Although these raw materials are natural and pollution-free, yes 'Red meat' Dong still does not advocate eating more.After all, in this era, there is no specific drug for clearing blood lipids and lowering blood pressure, so their meat dishes often use some chicken, duck, fish, and various seafood to match.The cook of Ling Zhu's family is still very good, and the combination of dishes makes his mouth water.Mrs. Dong is now used to having people serving food by her side, and she is also used to not talking about eating.Qi Luo felt that his parents adapted faster than himself in ancient times, which is really a strange phenomenon.

After the meal, Qi Luo drank the lotus seed soup happily. Mrs. Dong had always been very strict with desserts, and was worried that Qi Luo would get fat and lose shape, but she knew that Qi Luo had no control over delicious food.In the modern age, because of pity for Qi Luo, she always took her temper, but seeing Qi Luo's painful weight loss process, Dong really regretted and felt distressed.Since she had the chance to do it once, how could she make the same mistakes again?

Qi Luo quickly finished the dessert, feeling a little unsatisfied, and looked at Dong Shi eagerly.Although Dong felt distressed, she still shook her head cruelly. In ancient times, the amount of exercise was too little, and if they didn't know how to exercise restraint, they would easily gain weight.Seeing this situation, Qi Luo could only put down the empty bowl regrettably, and Dong waved her hand to let the maids take away the leftovers.

Mrs. Dong lightly tapped Qi Luo's head and said, "A bowl of lotus seed soup will make you like this? I'll tell them to make it tomorrow, but you can't eat too much, so you won't regret it in the future." Qi Luo pretended to be stupid, this is her The usual trick, so Dong did not say anything.Zhao Nanny ordered the servant girl to serve Dong Shi and Qi Luo some tea, then waved away the servant girl who was accompanying her, a little hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong with you? What's the matter?" Mrs. Dong put down her teacup and asked in surprise.

"There is nothing wrong with the servant, but the servant knows that the relationship between your master's family is cold, but you are relatives, there are some things you still need to know."

"It's not that the relationship is cold, it's just that they have different ambitions. What happened to their family?"

Qi Luo is still very interested in what happened to Ling Cheng's family, especially there is Qi Zhu whom she admires very much. Counting the days, the draft seems to have passed. Qi Luo also wants to know whether Qi Zhen's wish has been fulfilled, so So he went back in no hurry, and listened carefully to Zhao Nanny's words while eating the pickled red bayberry.

"Ma'am, you are not in the capital, so I don't know. Mr. Tang, there are so many new things during this period! Mr. Tang accepted a pair of sisters into the room a while ago. I heard that the pair of sisters are not only good-looking, but also very understanding to serve you." Man, Mr. Tang loves so much. This pair of sisters are scheming. They are gentle and pleasant on the surface, but they are very fierce. It is said that the wife of the same hall has the upper hand! Sick."

Although the Dong family looks down on the Dong E family.But as a woman, she still felt sorry for her. "Is it serious? Didn't she always want to drive? Why did it change?"

"Which woman can think about such a thing, besides, Mrs. Tang also needs face. Those who used to be honest, they are not as powerful as these two. I heard that these two sisters are skinny horses in the south of the Yangtze River. Think about it Can it be easy to plant a place? I didn’t expect this pair of sisters to be really blessed. One of them is still alive. Master Tang is so happy that he spoils them to heaven. Mrs. Tang is even more angry, sick It was a little heavier. Miss Zhu and Miss Zhen were just in time for this draft, and Miss Zhen was so worried. Although Mrs. Tang tried her best to prepare for her, she didn't expect another one. event."

"What happened? Shouldn't Qi Zhen be able to point it out to Brother Eight?"

Zhao Nanny sighed, "If you say that Miss Zhen looks good, and Mr. Tang is valued by the eighth elder brother, it is a matter of course to point it out to the eighth elder brother through the draft. Since Mrs. Tang is busy preparing for her draft, naturally There is less supervision of her. Miss Zhen has always been in charge of the restaurant of Mr. Tang's house. It is such a coincidence that Miss Zhen will meet Brother Ba in the restaurant. Fujin was suppressed. Then Miss Zhen was dismissed. Although Fujin wants to let Miss Nazhen enter the mansion, it seems to have to wait three years later."

"Three years later? It's not too late to marry after three years according to age. But men are changeable, especially those who are as noble as the eighth elder brother. Who knows what will happen in three years? It can be better after all with the emperor's order, but now it's like this, and Bafu Jin's background is so noble. Hey, what a pity for Qi Zhen!" Dong sighed.

"Who says it's not! This is an even greater blow to Mrs. Tang, and Master Tang lost his temper with Mrs. Tang because of this. He said that he didn't teach his daughter good manners, which lost his face and affected her. his career."

Qi Luo knew that Ling Cheng's family had great hopes for Qi Zhen, and the current situation would definitely be unbearable for the Ling Cheng family to bear such a gap.Although she didn't know why Qi Zhen was so determined that the eighth elder brother could succeed, she also couldn't understand some of Qi Zhen's actions.For the sake of being a fellow villager, he asked, "How is Qi Zhen doing now?"

"I heard that she was taught the rules by being locked up at home! In fact, Miss Zhen used to be quite dignified and quiet, very well-behaved, but she became frivolous after she started doing business. The Tang wife was also negligent in discipline, which is why she fell into this situation. Fortunately, God has a good eye and separated the family in advance, otherwise our good girls will be implicated by her."

Mrs. Dong looked at Qi Luo and said, "It will still have some influence, no matter what, they are all of the same clan, Qi Luo, you should be more cautious, don't go out during this time, wait until the limelight calms down." Qi Luo is serious She nodded, although she had provoked a lot of love affairs, but that was limited to the knowledge of the person concerned, and there was no rumor about it.Thinking of this, she was thankful and thankful to Prince Yu's son at the same time. Although he was strong and domineering, he didn't tell anyone what he meant and the few encounters between them. Based on this, Qi Luo had a slight impression of him. It's better.

"Mother Zhao, do you know what's going on with Sister Qizhu? She also refers to marriage?"

Zhao Momo said regretfully, "The most pitiful one is Miss Zhu. She was completely implicated by Miss Zhen, and she was also dismissed. Maybe Miss Zhu had high hopes for the draft. , I got a strange disease, the doctor came to see it and said it can't be cured, I can only take care of it slowly. Master Tang wanted to marry Miss Zhu to a concubine from some palace, but Miss Zhu got this strange disease Who dares to ask for it, hey, Miss Zhu really suffers."

Qi Luo couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, but still asked, "What are the symptoms of Sister Zhu's illness? Why is it a strange illness?"

"Miss Zhu said it was a headache, but she has a pulse and then no pulse. It's really strange. I have never heard of such a disease."

Qi Luo's hanging heart finally let go. It seems that Qi Zhu's goal has been achieved, but now that Ling Cheng's family is in such a situation, she will definitely have a hard time.Although Qi Luo admired Qi Zhu very much, she would not have anything to do with Ling Cheng's family in order to help Qi Zhu, she could only help her when she saw the opportunity.

Mrs. Dong and Madam Zhao talked about the number of servants in the mansion again. Since Ling Zhu was promoted to Viscount, the number of servants in the mansion is not enough according to the etiquette system, and more people have to be found. "Ma'am, those slaves who left our house to go to Tang Master's are very regretful and want to come back! Huh, who made these snobs shallow-sighted, even if they buy someone to teach them, they can't be used." Madam Zhao said angrily.

"Yes, I agree with what you said. We don't want those who are alienated from morality. Now the outside world is unpredictable, and our family is an upstart, so we have to be cautious in every step. In terms of selecting people, loyalty is still important. Now the government The atmosphere is pretty good, I don’t want to break the rules of the house. If you really can’t pick them out, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough people.”

Zhao Momo thought for a while, then carefully calculated, and suggested, "My wife is right, but this servant remembered one thing. Li Fu, the steward of the kitchen in our house, had a sister who was burned out when she was a child." She has lost her brain, so she is a bit stupid, but she has some strength and is also very obedient. She was supposed to come to our house when we separated, but she insisted on staying with Mrs. Tang. I don’t know why she was beaten half to death a while ago. When she came out, Li Fu thought she was hopeless, but unexpectedly she came back to life. Li Fu asked the servant girl to make her a thick girl in the mansion, so that it would be convenient for him to take care of his sister. The servant girl looked at her It’s just too pitiful.”

Dong asked, "Has she really burnt out her brain?"

"This servant dares to vouch for her. In fact, she is obedient and able to work. It's just that she has some brain problems. People call her an idiot."

Dong felt that this name was very kind, and besides, she was just a rough girl, so it was no big problem to stay.He was beaten half to death for doing something wrong. It seems that Dong E's temper has been very irritable recently! "It's okay to stay, but don't say that she came from that mansion, just say that she has been in Zhuangzi all the time, and was transferred back recently. And arrange less conspicuous work for her, so as to avoid meeting people in that mansion, Just adds to the trouble."

"The wife is still thoughtful. The slaves thanked the wife on their behalf. In fact, the wife doesn't need to worry too much. The people in our house are very well-behaved and never talk nonsense outside."

Dong Shi nodded, and the matter was settled.
