Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 124
After Jia'er left the firewood room, he went to find Xiang'er according to Yang Lianxiang's wishes, dressed up carefully according to Yang Lianxiang's wishes, loosened up his black hair, and carefully adjusted his face.

Yang Lianxiang looked at Jia'er carefully, and saw that her eyes were full of tears, and she seemed to have a thousand words to say, like Aunt Xiao when she just opened her face. Thinking of those days, her heart became more and more annoyed , Even losing a good face towards Jiaer, he said in a deep voice: "Now I give you this rare opportunity, whether you can grasp it or not depends on your talent. Jiaer, I just want to see you remember Live, you have to think about your parents and sisters in everything.”

Jia'er shook her shoulders slightly, bowed down with courtesy, and then retreated, carrying the bird's nest cooked by Xiang'er, and went to Yunuanlou. The girl in Yunuanlou told that Shi Jingran was The old lady Meng's Chunhui Hall asked her to wait in the wind.Jia'er had no choice but to stand at the vent of the corridor with a red lacquered tray, waiting for Shi Jingran to return.

But Shi Jingran got off work from the court hall, and went to Chunhui hall to greet the old lady as usual, but when he picked up the curtain and went in, he saw that the old lady's expression was not very good. They took turns serving outside, but the third wife, Yang Lianxiang, was the only one missing.

Seeing Shi Jingran coming in, the old lady held her forehead and said in a cold voice: "It's really strange, you can still think of me as an old woman, and you can still come in to see me."

When Shi Jingran heard the old lady's angry tone, she seemed to be angry with herself on purpose, and suddenly felt a sense of inexplicability in her heart, but it hindered her filial piety, so she could only lick her face and leaned forward, saying: "Mother is used to joking. If I have nothing to do after get off work, I will always come to my mother's side, even if my son can't come, I think Lai Lianxiang will serve her close by my mother."

It's okay not to mention Yang Lianxiang, but when she is mentioned, the old lady is even more furious, pointing at Shi Jingran's nose and scolding: "Don't act like a filial son in front of others, people who don't know will only think you are a good man." How filial, how unsatisfactory my dying old woman is! Hehe, and your mother-in-law Yang, I don’t know if she died in her pear courtyard. They also asked me for leave, obviously afraid that I would die, she looked at the fire!"

The eldest lady and other ladies who were accompanying her hurriedly stepped forward to appease the old lady and persuaded her one after another.

The lady said: "Mother, what is wrong with these three siblings? Why bother to blame the third brother? Thinking that the third brother has been exhausted physically and mentally after a hard day, why does mother bother to scold the third brother?"

These words caused Shi Jingran to frown and squint.

The second wife, who had always looked down on Yang Lianxiang, hurried forward and said, "Mother, don't be angry. My siblings were very filial in the past. Even if it was windy and rainy, they would come to Chunhui Hall to serve mother. It's abnormal, I'm afraid it's really sick and can't get up, so I can't say for sure."

These words seem to protect Yang Lianxiang on the surface, but secretly they are sarcasm with the eldest lady.

Sure enough, the eldest lady who heard this sneered, and said: "Second sibling is wrong. Although the third sibling is not of noble origin, she has a supercilious mind. She will come whenever she wants, and she will come if she can't." Didn't you come? Since you came back from Yang's house, it has become more and more severe, and you have to show your mother face to face..."

Before the eldest lady could say anything, the old lady scolded anxiously: "Enough! You are elders, and you are not afraid to spread it out and make people laugh when you talk like this in front of everyone!"

Because she was speaking in a hurry, she gasped involuntarily, letting her breath breathe, and then continued: "I don't need you to wait on me here, let's all go out. Yu'er, you are weak, It's getting late, so let's hurry back to the yard, I have Qian'er and Qing'er to take care of me."

When Shi Jingran heard this, he couldn't help being taken aback, and subconsciously asked: "Qing'er? Mother, didn't you say that Aunt Mo is going to start class today? Why is Qing'er here?"

Seeing the impatient look on the old lady's face, the eldest lady hurriedly stepped forward to stop the conversation and said, "Aunt Mo hurt her leg, I'm afraid it will take a long time for her to recover, so mother ordered the young ladies to learn from women first."

Shi Jingran was about to ask the old lady about Yang Lianxiang, but seeing the old lady waved her hand impatiently, he felt ashamed, so he had to bend over and back out.

Because he was implicated by Yang Lianxiang, Shi Jingran felt a fire in his heart, and was about to leave Chunhui Hall, when he walked around the corridor and passed the side room, a touch of green clothes flashed past.It was Shi Yiqing.

Seeing that it was Shi Jingran, Shi Yiqing's pretty face was full of astonishment, and after he regained his composure, he bowed down and said softly, "Qing'er has seen my father."

For so many days since Shi Yiqing returned home, Shi Jingran has not had the chance to talk to Shi Yiqing alone a few times, not only did he never give her a good face, but he almost let her be murdered.Shi Jingran sighed in his heart, he is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he knows some things, and he knows that Yang Lianxiang can't tolerate her, so he repeatedly makes moves to deal with such an immature child.

Thinking of this, Shi Jingran felt ashamed of Shi Yiqing, and the smile on his face increased a little: "I heard from the old lady that you have been serving filial piety in front of the old lady, and it can be said that it is rain or shine. Oh, it's hard is you."

Seeing Shi Jingran's inexplicable words, Shi Yiqing couldn't help feeling suspicious in his heart, but he still had to put on an aggrieved look, and said with red eyes: "Qing'er is not filial. Having fulfilled my filial piety, now that I am returning home, I dare not delay for a moment."

Seeing her shed two tears, Shi Jingran opened her eyes and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but suddenly found that he had nothing to say, so he touched his nose in embarrassment, let out a deep breath, and said, "Your grandmother is in the house. There is still waiting for you here, go quickly, don't make your grandmother wait anxiously."

When Shi Yiqing heard that Shi Jingran had even changed her title, she knew that in Shi Jingran's heart at this moment, it was not the girl who was exiled with the title of evil star, but Miss Nine of the Shi family, Shi Jingran's biological daughter.

It is said that this title is not easy to come by, but for Shi Yiqing who is reincarnated as a human being, he dismisses it.After Shi Jingran was sent away, Shi Yiqing stood in the veranda and did not turn around to enter the main room. Instead, he called for Li Ying, who was waiting for him with complicated eyes, and whispered to her: "Let you go to Tangli Courtyard to see what's going on, but What did you hear?"

Lian Ying leaned over and said: "I heard from people who came back that Miss Six really went to Tangli Courtyard, and she left the main room after a while, but she didn't leave directly, but called Sui'er, who was serving by the third lady, into the side room Sui'er couldn't bear Miss Six's beating and scolding, so she told about the third lady's affairs, and when the third lady found out, she beat her up and threw her into the woodshed."

Shi Yiqing raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Think that Sui'er was mentioned by the third lady recently, right?"

Lian Ying replied: "Although Sui'er has been serving the third lady for many years, she was promoted from a rough servant girl, and then she was suppressed by someone above, so she became a third-class maid for many years. If you say the first month, you will bring it up."

Shi Yiqing lowered his eyes and sighed quietly: "It's a good life, I'm afraid it will be folded in her hands again."

Lian Ying, who heard this, said with a strange expression: "I still heard something, I don't know whether I should say it or not." Seeing Shi Yiqing raised his eyebrows and looked at him, he quickly lowered his head and continued, "The person who came back said that Sui'er and the same Jia'er who serves the third lady is good, Jia'er has agreed to work for the third lady in order to save Sui'er's life, and become a master."

Shi Yiqing frowned: "You mean, the third lady asked the scorpion... where is that scorpion?"

"It is said that it is now in Yunuanlou. The master has not come back, and I think Aunt Cheng will not let Jia'er in."

Shi Yiqing frowned and thought for a while, then hit his palm with his fist, and exclaimed in a low voice: "No, I'm afraid this girl is in trouble."

Lian Ying was taken aback, and asked subconsciously: "Why would Miss say that? Could it be..."

Shi Yiqing shook his head hastily, and said in a deep voice: "It's not the third lady who wants to harm her, but my father." After finishing speaking, Shi Yiqing looked at the puzzled expression on Li Yingying's face, stopped talking, and just let out a deep breath, and asked Step to the main house.

Walking to the door of the main room, she lifted the curtain and entered the inner room. When Shi Zeqian, who was waiting on the side, saw her, she made a soft noise, got up and took her lightly to the outer room: "Why did you come in? Can Madam Xu still come?" Better?"

Shi Yiqing smiled wryly, and said, "It's still the same, but the fever has subsided a little. I was worried about grandma's headache, so I wanted to come in and have a look."

Shi Zeqian said in a low voice: "You still have a heart, unlike that person who kept saying he was worried, but now he doesn't even have a face!"

Although Shi Yiqing knew that Shi Zeqian was waiting for her to vent her anger, she just smiled and turned to ask, "I saw my father coming? Why did he come and go in such a hurry, and didn't stay for dinner?"

Shi Zeqian couldn't help sneering: "It's not my aunt." After she finished speaking, she remembered that although Shi Yiqing had a problem with Yang Lianxiang, she was also Shi Yiqing's aunt after all.

Although Shi Zeqian was born in a wealthy family and had two aunts, Shi Yiqing understood that the ironic "aunt" was referring to Yang Lianxiang specifically, and couldn't help feeling a little bit in his heart. Thinking of Shi Jingran's unhappy face just now, he became more and more sure that Shi Jingran was because of Yang Lianxiang hit a wall with the old lady, and went out angrily to find Yang Lianxiang's bad luck.

Because both of them were harboring ulterior motives, Shi Yiqing said a few words to Shi Zeqian, thinking that the old lady would wake up after a while, she withdrew, washed her hands to make soup, and made some side dishes for the old lady.

After Shi Yiqing finished the dishes, the old lady also woke up, very refreshed, clamoring to eat stemmed rice, she had no choice but to bring half a bowl with Shi Yiqing's side dishes, the old man People eat very happily.

Seeing that the old lady was eating well, Zhu Xi also had a smile on her face, and said: "After all, it's the old lady's granddaughter who knows what the old lady is thinking, and even the side dishes are so delicate."

The old lady rinsed her mouth, looked at the bamboo breath with a smile, and said: "You monkey boy, you are a monkey spirit. Forget it, Qing'er, why don't you come and eat with me?"

Shi Zeqian hastily stepped forward and said: "Madam Xu's fever subsides, and her mind is very clear. Sister Qing'er thought about not letting Mammy come to beg Grandma again, so she took her back with her, and she will come back when her illness clears up tomorrow morning." See you."

The old lady nodded, and after a while she let out an inexplicable breath, and said: "After all, Qing'er is filial, and Mother Xu is worthy of loving her."

Zhu Xi walked forward slowly with chrysanthemum tea, and said with a smile: "Miss Nine has a pure heart, and she is even more grateful. If she knows who treats her well, she will treat others well. The old lady really loves her, doesn't she remember that?" In your heart, don't you always forget about the old lady?"

The sweetness of these words made the old lady happy for a while, she raised her hand and ordered "cherry meat" and said: "I want to come to this sweet and sour, Aunt Xiao and Qing'er like to eat it, you can add some side dishes to make it delicious." Sending a copy to Aunt Xiao and Qing'er is my kindness."

This surprised Shi Zeqian, she couldn't control her demeanor for a moment, and in the eyes of the old lady, she became concerned.

But Zhu Xi told the little girl to send it to Aunt Xiao and Shi Yiqing quickly while the dishes were still hot. The little girl carrying the red lacquer box didn't dare to delay, so she went into Baifang Garden with a lantern and found Ranyue. At the end, he knocked on the door.

Seeing that the flower candles belonged to the old lady's yard, she led them into the house, and said to Shi Yiqing with a smile: "The old lady is still thinking about Miss, and sent some food."

Shi Yiqing gave her a sideways look with a smile, and said, "You know how to eat."

The little girl blessed Fushen with a smile, and said to Shi Yiqing: "The old lady ordered me to bring some food to Miss Jiu, and told me that the side dishes made by Miss Jiu are delicious, and I also let Aunt Xiao taste it, which is considered a substitute for Jiu. Miss has done her part to be filial."

Aunt Xiao was rewarded with something from the old lady's room, which Shi Yiqing did not expect, a little bit surprised, then smiled and ordered someone to give some big money to the little girl.

After dinner, Shi Yiqing embroidered with a few maids by candlelight for a while, and then heard Mo Xian, who was going to serve by Mammy Xu, ordered the little girl to report back, saying that Nanny Xu had invited the young lady over.

Shi Yiqing followed the girl to the side room, raised the curtain to go in, and saw Madam Xu sitting leaning on the bedpost, her face still pale and bloodless.She hastily walked up to Grandma Xu: "Is Grandma okay?"

Seeing that it was Shi Yiqing, Grandma Xu had a smile on her pale face, leaning on the bedpost, she was about to stand up and walk around, and said, "This old slave is fine. I have been lying down for a whole day, and my back hurts from sleeping. Alas, thinking about it It's old."

Shi Yiqing looked at the aging Madam Xu and felt her nose sore, recalling that in her previous life, Madam Xu was always suffering from minor illnesses, but she was never so tired when she was with her, and now she just had a serious illness However, people's spiritual heads seem to be not very good.

Mo Xian, who was waiting on the sidelines, helped Shi Yiqing to support Nanny Xu, Rou Yin who came in with soup saw her, put down the soup bowl hurriedly, stepped forward to replace Shi Yiqing, and said: "Miss, let me do it. "

Shi Yiqing shook his head, just smiled and said to Mammy Xu: "Where are you going, Madam? Take Qing'er with you."

Mother Xu couldn't even laugh: "Put me back."

Shi Yiqing and Mo Xian Rouyin waited for Nanny Xu to lie back on the bed, and she took care of Nanny Xu with her own hands, just like how Nanny Xu served her when she was a child, she tucked up the quilt carefully and sat down low. Beside the bed, humming softly the nursery rhymes I heard when I was young.

Two lines of turbid tears flowed from the corners of Grandma Xu's eyes. Shi Yiqing couldn't help but turn red when she thought of the kindness that Grandma Xu had treated her in her past and present life. , you need to get better quickly, Qing'er really can't do without you."

Mo Xian's eyes turned red, and she refused to cry in front of Nanny Xu, for fear of hurting Nanny Xu's heart, so she rubbed her eyes and pulled Rouyin out of the side room.

Mother Xu hugged Shi Yiqing with a smile, and said softly, "The old slave will get better, don't worry, Miss." She paused, and seeing that there was no one else in the room, she lowered her voice and continued, "Qing'er, you Listen to me, the old lady will not let me live in the mansion for the elderly, I am afraid that I will leave the mansion in a few days, and after today, I am afraid that there will not be many opportunities for you and me to speak alone."

Seeing Shi Yiqing raised her eyes and looked at herself suspiciously, Nanny Xu cleared her throat and continued: "I know that Qing'er has worked hard to get to where she is today. The Shi family is mediocre, and the Xiao family is even worse." It's indifference, if Qing'er lets the two families handle it, he will be lonely for the rest of his life. Although the old slave is useless, there are still some things in his hands that can be left to the young lady."

Shi Yiqing was startled, lowered his voice and said, "Nurse..."

Mother Xu raised her hand to interrupt her, and said, "Listen to me first. I hid a list in the Yilan Garden where Mrs. Xiao lived before, and it was written that the Xiao family said in various rooms of the Shi family. People who can talk, and behind them are the relationship networks of the Xiao family and the Shi family in the court. If you use it well, it will definitely help you. You must remember, what I told you today, you Don't tell anyone, you keep those lists in your heart, burn them all when you write them down, don't keep them, remember?"

Shi Yiqing was so shocked that he couldn't speak, so he nodded his head, taking it down.

Madam Xu smiled gratifiedly, gave some detailed instructions, and analyzed the maids in her room, until she was tired of talking and fell asleep drowsily, Shi Yiqing came back to her senses .

Shi Yiqing sorted out her emotions, then got up and left the room, called Mo Xian, and said, "You take good care of the nanny first, and I'll let Rouyin take your place tomorrow."

Mo Xian laughed softly: "Miss, don't worry about the servant girl. Although the servant girl has not been with Madam for a short time, in Fahua Temple, Madam took good care of Mo Xian. Now that Madam is seriously ill, Mo Xian can do everything for Miss. Filial piety is Mo Xian's blessing."
