The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 86
In fact, to be honest, Zhengde really didn't suffer much. After Xing Xiuyan's family came to this world, the family situation gradually improved, and the boy he raised was white and fat. Later, he practiced martial arts under the old escort of the Escort Bureau.It is not an exaggeration to say that he is both civil and martial arts, coupled with his already cute and exciting appearance, he instantly captured Mrs. Qi's heart.

"Oh, good boy, I can't explain everything for you!" Mrs. Qi hurriedly asked Mama Zhu to bring the honeyed fruit she had kept for Zhengde to eat. It is difficult for people to grasp the train of thought of the question, and it is up to the young man to answer it himself.

Zhengde really lived up to expectations, but when Mrs. Qi asked him where the phrase "A gentleman has a way, he must be loyal and trustworthy, and he must lose it when he is arrogant", Zhengde turned his head and looked at his sister in a daze.

Xiuyan's heart moved, she hurriedly laughed and said: "It can be seen that learning is endless, you have a lot to learn!"

Zhengde blushed, and Mrs. Qi hurriedly said: "Zhengde is only a little older, and he is already very good. If it were someone else's child, he might not even be able to answer half of the answers. Don't be too harsh when you are a sister, just follow me. Seeing that Zhengde's future is limitless, if there is a famous teacher to guide him at this time, it will not be difficult to become a Hanlin scholar in the future."

As Mrs. Qi said, she quietly looked at Xing Xiuyan's expression, but seeing the other party's calm expression, she was neither surprised nor pleased, neither arrogant nor impatient, but secretly admired her.No wonder the Xing family dared to send a little girl to see him casually. It turned out that it was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Mrs. Qi stretched her body, and slowly leaned back on the pillow, waiting for Xing Xiuyan to take the initiative to talk about her apprenticeship.

Unexpectedly, Xing Xiuyan didn't intend to mention this matter, but instead changed the topic.

"The younger generation came here today to ask Mrs. Qi for something. Seeing that early spring is approaching, but our garden is still very barren. The younger generation heard that Mrs. Qi's family has several very skilled gardeners, and they also I don’t know if I can ask them to help take care of it.”

Mrs. Qi frowned tightly, and asked Mama Zhu with a gloomy face: "Why, the boss hasn't sent those servants yet?"

Zhu's mother quickly apologized and smiled: "There are a lot of things at home recently. I think the young master has not had time to take care of these things. If Miss Xing hadn't asked, I would have forgotten that there is such a thing. Speaking of which, those girls are also simple and honest. Yes, they take care of our family's garden all year round, and their skills are no worse than those of the gardeners in Duke Houmen's mansion."

Mrs. Qi didn't wait for Zhu's mother to finish speaking, and slapped the low couch violently with both hands, "Call me out, all of them out! Those dog slaves helped her kill my son, what do I want them for!" Zhu's mother's eyes were flustered, and she called out to the young daughter-in-law who was waiting outside, and after a reasonable number of people pushed Mrs. Qi down on the couch.

Zhu's mother tied her hands together and almost pushed Xiuyan and others out of the room.

"Miss Xing, I'm really sorry, our wife."

Xiuyan said with guilt on her face: "Mama, don't say any more. This is my fault. I didn't know it was related to the third young master. Otherwise, I would never dare to make trouble in front of Mrs. Qi. What should I do now, otherwise I will Go ask someone to invite an imperial physician, the Rongguo Mansion has supported an imperial physician, and I heard that his medical skills are good, so I entrust someone to invite him here."

Mother Zhu was afraid that outsiders would know what kind of disease his wife had. The Qi family died one after another, which attracted people's attention.

Zhu's mother's tone was slightly pleading: "My good girl, you go home first, I'm in charge of everything! Our wife is just sick with worry, I'll just persuade you, you don't have to worry."

Xiuyan let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good, then I'll come see Mrs. Qi again tomorrow."

Zhu's mother smiled wryly as she watched the figure leave the courtyard door, then turned and went back to the inner room.Mrs. Qi had been ill on the bed for a long time, and had exhausted her last bit of strength just now. She was breathing weakly at this moment, and raised her eyelids slightly.

"Here I am, madam! What do you want?"

Mrs. Qi had passed the point of being confused, she was a little more conscious than before, and saw the corners of her mouth twitching slightly: "Go and tell cousin to avenge the third young master!"

Zhu's mother immediately knelt down in front of Mrs. Qi's couch, tears streaming down her face like rain: "My wife, the eldest mistress is dead, and our young master's revenge has been avenged. You can rest assured to recover from your illness!"

Mother Zhu dare not tell Mrs. Qi that the master has surrounded the mansion, and no one from the wife is allowed to enter or leave, let alone send a letter to the Song family!Although the second young master was detained by the master because of the care of the eldest and young mistress, in fact the master still loves this son the most!There is no doubt that the future family property will fall into the hands of the second young master.

The wife's condition is sometimes good and sometimes bad, if Mr. Song hadn't often sent the imperial physician over for diagnosis and treatment, the master would have left his wife to fend for herself!

The whole family knows about these things, except for the wife.

Zhu's mother took the medicine bowl from the young daughter-in-law, put it spoonful by spoonful into Mrs. Qi's mouth, and forced her to relax with a smile: "When Miss Xing left, she said that she would come to visit my wife tomorrow! This girl is more caring than others, she knows what my wife likes to eat, and she caters to her, let me tell you."

Mrs. Qi regained some strength, and pushed the medicine bowl away in displeasure after hearing what Mama Zhu said.

Zhu's mother was shocked, knowing that she was talking too much, which aroused his wife's suspicion.

The wife hates the people around her for begging the Lord for glory for petty gains.But the wrong thing is that she didn't take any advantage from Miss Xing!

When Mama Zhu was so worried that she didn't know how to explain it, Mrs. Qi suddenly said: "I remember my cousin gave the third young master an ancient version of "Mencius". You can find it and give it to the Xing family when they come back tomorrow. Said that I was not in good health and disappeared."

"But madam, that book..." The third young master gave the book to the second young master as a gift long ago, saying it was for the enlightenment of the future little nephew.

Mrs. Qi sneered: "He's just a mud leg, and he deserves that kind of good stuff! You just ask for it, and say it's my order. I'm sorry they don't dare not give it."

I wish my mother would serve Mrs. Qi's side as a child, and understand Mrs. Qi's character best.Once you make up your mind, you can never change it.

I wish my mother was starting to worry about her own future now, it would be easy if she wasn't dragged down, at worst she would go with his wife.But she still has a son who works as an errand in the Qi family, and a daughter and son-in-law who help in the Qi family's shop.The wife kicked her legs and left as soon as she said, will the second young master and second young mistress vent their anger on her family?

Zhu's mother shivered at the thought of this, and left the inner room full of thoughts.

After walking a full hundred or so meters, Mother Zhu froze in the hallway, staring blankly at both ends of things, not knowing where to go!
"Hey, my old sister, why are you blowing cold wind here! Quick, come inside and warm up with me!"

It was Mama Kang, the cook who received dozens of silver coins from Xing Xiuyan in the Xing Family Library, who greeted Zhu Mama attentively.

It was no accident that Kang's mother stopped Zhu's mother at this moment, she made a special trip to find an opportunity to intercept Zhu's mother under the signal of Xing Xiuyan.

Mama Kang pulled and dragged Mama Zhu into a nearby room. This is the inner courtyard, and there are many courtyards. Mama Kang has been secretly waiting outside Mrs. Qi's courtyard, and she has already touched the nearby lines. clear.She had just sent the maid in charge of the house to eat hot cakes in the kitchen, but at this moment, apart from the two of them, there was no more living things.

Zhu's mother approached the brazier, rubbed her hands together, and didn't take the initiative to speak.

Mother Kang said with a smile: "Old sister, how did I offend you? I haven't seen you show me a good face this year! I won't be wronged to death!"

Zhu's mother sneered and looked up at her: "Don't mention sisters and sisters, I can't afford it. If you hadn't recommended that woman back then, how could she have approached the third young master!"

Mother Kang's old face froze: "My sister, how could it be my fault? It was clear that the wife said that the eldest young mistress was good-looking and calm in her work, so she allocated it to the third young master. Who knew she had an affair with the second young master? I want to know that she is dishonest, how dare she lead her forward!"

"Let's go, let's not talk about being brave in the past, and we both fell for that woman's way. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Look at my sister's words, if it's okay, I can't."

Mother Zhu snorted: "Forget it, when you were young, you liked to take advantage of petty advantages. You can do things that don't benefit you? Someone must have asked you to come to me to intercede! You tell them that you want to stay in relatives. It’s impossible to go home, my wife should be kinder, but just let their parents take them back.”

I wish my mother would still be the person next to the eldest grandma and want to stay in Qi's family.

But Mother Kang snorted and laughed: "Who dares to be such a nosy business! This is the most important thing for me." Is it? I heard from Aunt Guo in their house that the Xing family probably knows the inside story of the third young master's death."

I wish my mother was shocked, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Mother Kang said angrily: "Who dares to talk nonsense about such things? Think about it, how old is the master of the Xing family? Please, the inside story will be kept secret!"

"Are you sure? If I go back to my wife, you will turn your face and deny it."

Kang's mother hurriedly said: "I'll go with you to see my wife, for the sake of our third young master, what am I afraid of!"

The two hurried into Mrs. Qi's yard. Mrs. Qi saw that she wished her mother back so soon, and thought things were going well. After listening to Mrs. Kang's words, Mrs. Qi was surprisingly silent.

"Mrs."

Although Kang's mother is greedy for money, she is still trembling in front of Mrs. Qi.

"Go and invite Miss Xing with Mother Zhu. I must make this matter clear. My son can't be wronged. If Mr. Xing can really avenge my son, I'd rather give up the place in Bishan Academy." !"
