Reborn Concubine Queen

Chapter 233: All Thoughts (1)

Early the next morning, when it was still daylight, Nian, the old lady next to Mrs. Meng, knocked open the door of Shi Yiqing's room. Xing'er, who was on duty, looked at Nian's mother sleepily: "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Mother Nian stood at the door with a sullen old face, gloomy eyes: "Old Madam, please ask Miss Jiu to copy scriptures. Go ask Miss Jiu to get up!"

Xing'er didn't recognize this year's mother, it can be seen that she had a sullen face, full of evil spirits, she was a little scared, and she didn't care about Shi Yiqing's getting up, so she hurried into the inner room and called Shi Yiqing to get up: "Miss, miss, get up quickly." Come on, miss, don't sleep!"

Shi Yiqing was drowsy: "Let me sleep for a while, just sleep for a while, and I'll get up in a while."

Mother Nian who was waiting at the door saw that Xing'er couldn't wake up Shi Yiqing, so she strode in, stepped forward and lifted Shi Yiqing's quilt, and said in a cold voice: "Miss, it's already dawn, it's time to get up!"

Shi Yiqing couldn't help cursing with coldness, and half woke up from a doze: "Mother Nian? Why are you here?"

Nian's mother folded her hands on her stomach and made a full gesture: "Madam asked the young lady to go and copy the scriptures. It's already late now, I'm afraid the old lady will be angry."

Shi Yiqing looked coldly at the Nian mother who was holding a chicken feather as an arrow, and secretly hated: "I see, mother, go out and wait."

After washing and washing as quickly as possible, Shi Yiqing, dressed in a half-worn lotus root skirt and jacket, followed Nian's mother out of the house and hurried to the nunnery hidden deep in the backyard. Nian's mother told her to stand on the porch and wait, so Shi Yiqing had to stand The vent is waiting.

The sun in the sky changed from pale white to bright, and finally when the sun was at the top, Shi Yiqing only felt his legs were numb, his consciousness was confused, and the cold wind was blowing like chaff, but the old lady Meng was nowhere to be seen.

A girl rushed into the nunnery, and her reply was loud and crisp: "If you go back to the old lady, Sister Huopao has already gone to the Qi Palace to bring Master Qi'er back."

Shi Yiqing was startled, and his chaotic consciousness instantly became clear, and he heard the voice of chanting Buddha in the room paused, and then came the voice of the old lady Meng: "Ask Scopole to bring Qi'er to see his sister."

The girl followed Shi Yiqing's line of sight, and after a while, she saw Nian's mother leaning out from the curtain to look at Shi Yiqing: "The old lady told you to come in."

Shi Yiqing moved his numb body, walked step by step into the warm room with difficulty, and saw that no girl came with a futon, so he knelt on the cold ground and kowtowed: "Granddaughter Shi Yiqing has seen grandmother, grandmother Wanan."

There was no reply for a while, Shi Yiqing knew that the old lady was still angry, so she had no choice but to continue kneeling.

The sound of chanting Buddha came from the room, low and hoarse, it was the old lady's voice, trying to ferry herself to the Buddhist holy place where the flowers bloomed on the other side.

After a while, Shi Yiqing heard the noisy voices of children outside, and then heard Scoopal come up and reply: "Old Madam, Master Qi'er has been brought back."

"Call him in."

The girl raised the curtain and let Qi'er come in to say hello. Qi'er saw Shi Yiqing kneeling on the ground at a glance, and hurriedly trotted to kneel beside Shi Yiqing, with tears in his terrified eyes: "Sister, what are you doing! Get up quickly!" , get up quickly!"

Shi Yiqing's face was pale and she pulled her lips and smiled: "Qi'er, don't cry."

Qi'er raised her hand and took her sleeve to wipe the tears streaming down her face, and knelt on the ground with her to kowtow to the old lady Meng: "I beg grandma to spare my sister this time, please please grandma to spare my sister this time! "

The old lady Meng stopped twiddling the fingers of the prayer beads, turned around in surprise to look at Qi'er who kept kowtowing, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you know what wrong your sister has committed, and you asked me to spare her?"

"Qi'er knows." After all, Qi'er was still a little afraid of the old lady Meng Shi. At first he lowered his head cowardly, but then he thought that he was a man and wanted to protect his sister, so he straightened his back and replied Lang Lang, " My sister wanted to take Qi'er home, but grandma didn't allow it, so I punished her to kneel and kowtow! But Qi'er wanted to go home with her sister, and she didn't do her business. Since grandma wanted to punish her, she should punish Qi'er first. Bar!"

The old lady Meng was about to get up in shock, staggered and almost fell to the ground: "Qi'er, do you know what these words mean? Let me ask you, who told you these words? It's your sister!"

"It's not my sister! My sister has never said these things to Qi'er!" Qi'er straightened her back and replied, "Qi'er is already a man, and a man must have the responsibility of a man. It has nothing to do with my sister! If Grandma wants to punish, she can Punish me!"

The old lady Meng was startled and angry, she couldn't bear to blame Qi'er, she turned her head and pointed at Shi Yiqing and cursed: "You loser, I should have thrown you out when you were born, lest you get hurt My Shi family is full of unrest. It's all my fault that I was soft-hearted back then and let you stay, but now I have left myself a disaster! You, you get out of here!"

The clear sound of slaps resounded through the entire nunnery accompanied by repeated exclamations. Shi Yiqing was slapped abruptly by the old lady Meng Shi, and her snow-white skin became more and more beautiful taking advantage of the slap marks.

"Sister!" Qi'er exclaimed, "Grandma, if you want to hit me, hit me, don't hit my sister!"

"Qi'er, shut up!" Shi Yiqing yelled in a deep voice, "Scroll, you take Qi'er out, I have something to tell grandma."

Scopole hesitantly looked into the eyes of the old lady Meng, and seeing that she had no objection, she stepped forward and dragged the unwilling Qi'er to the East Nuan Pavilion.

Shi Yiqing straightened his kneeling position and then kowtowed to the old lady Meng: "Grandmother, everything is Qing'er's fault. Qing'er let his grandmother beat and scold him, and never fought back. It's just that Qing'er hopes that grandma can listen to Qing'er's excuses, and come again." Punish Qing'er."

The old lady Meng sat cross-legged on the futon, waving her hands and leaving only Nian's mother to wait on her, then she said with a cold snort, "I want to hear how eloquent you want to be."

Shi Yiqing knelt on the ground with his back straight, and said softly: "Grandmother, I really had the idea of ​​taking Qi'er away from the Shi family back then, but I didn't know that so many things would happen, and I even paid for Miss Xiao's seventh daughter." It is not my intention to be forced to return to Beijing now, but since I am back, I have no intention of hiding the truth from the Shi family and Qi'er, so that Qi'er does not recognize his ancestors and return to his clan. Qi'er belongs to the Shi family Children and grandchildren, all his life, but he is not only a child of the Shi family, but also my father's bastard, a child who has not yet had the ability to protect himself."

She paused, and continued: "Grandmother loves Qi'er, and it's Qi'er's blessing. She asked Qi'er to come home and live there, so that he could have a foothold in Beijing in the future, but grandma has Haven't thought about my brother's thoughts?"

"Ti'er?" The old lady Meng was slightly taken aback, "What would he think, that's his younger brother, shouldn't he recognize him?"

"Grandma is right, but grandma, don't forget that Qi'er just crawled out of his aunt's stomach. Even if the family is divided in the future, Qi'er will not treat him badly if he stays with grandma because he is young." " Shi Yiqing raised his eyes to look at the old lady Meng, "But in case, in case grandma goes west by crane, how should Qi'er deal with herself?"

Seeing that the old lady Meng's expression was gloomy and seemed displeased, Shi Yiqing remained calm and restrained: "Qing'er's words did not mean to curse grandma. Grandma has been with the Buddha all year round. I don't know if she wants to be a living Buddha in the next year. Qing'er I just want grandma to think about it carefully. There are still ten years before Qi'er gets married and starts a business. In the next ten years, you want him to bear the title of bastard all his life, to be a coward in the capital, and never to have a bright future. It’s good, you’d better go back with me, live in peace, get married and have children.”

The old lady Meng's expression turned pale: "Are you teaching me?"

"Qing'er dare not."

"I see you have nothing to dare!" The old lady Meng was furious, "Get out, get out!"

Seeing that Shi Yiqing couldn't explain her, she had to leave the nunnery first, and tried to get up with her cold and numb lower body, her dazed vision suddenly went dark, half of her body hurt, accompanied by exclamations and screams, she stumbled fell into a coma.

In the scent of sandalwood, the old lady Meng knelt on the futon and recited the scriptures devoutly in front of the clay Buddha statue. The sky turned from light to darkness for a moment, and Nian's mother who had returned from the outside stood at the door and replied: "Old lady, the doctor said nine The lady has been ill for a long time, and now she has a new illness, which is said to be menacing, if she can survive tonight, then everything will be fine."

The old lady Meng stopped the scriptures, her expression hidden in the darkness was blank: "Why did you suddenly fall down?"

Nian's mother hurriedly said with relief: "The doctor said that the young lady's body has been weak since she gave birth. She was tired from running around and hurt her body when she was just out of confinement. Later, she suffered from typhoid fever several times, and she couldn't bear it long ago. , It’s just finding such an opportunity to explode.”

"Amitabha." The old lady Meng clasped her hands together with lingering fear, "If it's my fault, I'm afraid the Buddha will blame it."

Mother Nian saw that Mrs. Meng didn't care about Shi Yiqing's serious illness this time, but instead thought about her sins in front of the Buddha, she couldn't help but feel sour for Shi Yiqing: "Old lady, Master Qi'er is crying and guarding the nine By the lady's side, do you see?"

"You go ask Scopole to bring him here." The old lady Meng said displeased, "Don't tell that girl to pass on her sickness to Qi'er, Qi'er will suffer the same as him."

Seeing that the old lady didn't care about Shi Yiqing's life or death at all, Nian's mother couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Old lady, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to bring Chopole here with Master Qi'er."

The old lady Meng raised her eyebrows and looked at Nian's mother with dissatisfaction: "Xiao Nian, I always knew that you were hard-hearted, but I didn't expect you to be so ambiguous!"
