When Bai Zhi heard this, she lowered her head and said nothing, tears falling down one by one. Although she was a slave, she had never suffered such a disadvantage with her parents since she was a child. After arriving at the Qi family, He Hua was a kind master, and Qi Jintang was not that lecherous. She was a disciple, so she was treated like this. Even though her sleeves were pulled off and some nasty words were said to her, she felt aggrieved just thinking about it.
"Don't cry yet. What if grandma sees you?" Miao'er wiped Bai Zhi's tears with her handkerchief, "It would be okay if it was normal, but grandma is not in a good mood today. If you continue When I cry like this, I really don’t know what to do.”
Although Xiaozhen sat down, he still groaned angrily, rubbing the handkerchief in his hand, wishing that the handkerchief was Qi Peng, and pinching it hard to relieve his hatred, muttering Chapter 414: Jiang is still The old man said sarcastically: "This scoundrel should be beaten out with a broom after he gets this matter back to me and grandma."
"Hurry up and shut up. It's enough if one of you cries, and you're still messing around." Miao'er was so noisy by the two of them crying and muttering that she had a headache. She was also worried that Hehua was upstairs, so she couldn't sit down in the end. He stopped, stood up and said, "I'll go up and see grandma first. There's been no movement for a long time, so don't let anything happen..." Before he could finish his words, he spat a few words, "Bah, bah, look at my bad mouth. What did you say?"
When Miao'er turned around, she saw He Hua standing on the stairs looking at her. She shivered with fright and knelt down without knowing what to do.
Xiaozhen and Bai Zhi were puzzled by her actions. They looked over and saw lotus flowers. They both got up and knelt down next to Miao'er, but they didn't know what to say.
He Hua walked down slowly holding on to the railing, and Miao'er quickly got up and stepped forward to help him. Finally, he was placed on the Arhat's bed and sat down. Then he said hesitantly: "Grandma is hungry and wants to eat." What slave did you ask the kitchen to prepare for you?"
"What's this Bai Zhi?" He Hua looked up and saw Bai Zhi's pair of red rabbit eyes, and asked.
"It's okay. Chapter 414: Jiang is still old. She squinted her eyes just now." Xiao Zhen blurted out.
Hehua narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiao Zhen, "You are telling lies more and more smoothly now, aren't you? Just open your mouth?"
Xiao Zhen was choked back. He stood with his head bowed, not daring to interrupt casually.
Hehua stretched out her hand to call Bai Zhi to her side and asked, "Tell yourself, what's going on?"
"No, it's nothing, just... just..." Bai Zhi hesitated for a while and didn't say what she was.
Lotus's face was straight. She said in a deep voice: "Bai Zhi, you have always been obedient and never lied. What I want to hear is the truth. Don't come back like those idiots."
Bai Zhi knelt down in front of Hehua's legs, and cried on Hehua's knees: "Grandma, please let me make the decision for you. The young master is pulling the sleeves of your slave, saying a lot of dirty things, and saying that he wants to find grandma." I begged my slave to be a little girl, and begged grandma to make the decision for my slave..."
Hearing this, Hehua tightly grasped the armrest of Arhat's bed, so hard that her knuckles turned white, revealing tiny green blood vessels.
"Grandma, take care of yourself. It's not worth getting angry for such a person..." Miao'er hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her. I feel more and more anxious. Master Xindao is supposed to come back around this time every day. Why is there no one there yet? I wanted to hide it but still couldn't. If I made grandma angry, the lives of several of my girls wouldn't be enough to pay for it.
He Hua slowly let go of her hand, gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, very good! I'm pregnant, so I can't take care of the family, right? What kind of monster dares to come out and make trouble, I want to see, he is really Dare to come and ask..."
"What are you asking for?" Qi Jintang raised the curtain and went in. Seeing the terrified expressions of several girls, he took two steps forward and asked. "What's going on here?"
When He Hua saw Qi Jintang, he couldn't hold himself together. Tears suddenly rolled down his face. Qi Jintang was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to hold her in his arms. He stretched out his hands to wipe away her tears and asked softly: "Who made you angry?" ?" He said and glanced at the three girls.
The three people shook their heads hurriedly, and finally Xiao Zhenyi gritted his teeth and said: "Grandma is angry because Master Cousin teased Bai Zhi today. He also said that he would come to grandma to ask Bai Zhi to do it. The slaves were supposed to hide it from grandma, but unfortunately But grandma caught me and asked about it, and grandma got angry."
When Qi Jintang heard that it was Qi Peng's business, his face suddenly darkened, and he said displeasedly: "I told you a long time ago that it would be better to kick him out. My mother-in-law and you didn't agree. It's better to leave it at home now. It's even more useless." ." The more he talked, the more angry he became. He turned around and walked out, "I'm going to kick them out right now."
"That's all, I think there isn't enough talk outside!" He Hua grabbed him.
"What's the point? You're thinking wildly again." Qi Jintang stood still and said, "I'm there for everything outside. You just need to take good care of yourself."
"I just feel like I'm useless. I can't help you with anything, and I'm just causing trouble for you." Hehua said, and her nose started to feel sore again.
"Nonsense, the honey-pickled bayberry you made sells very well. These days, many people come to the Yamen to inquire about Kailin and tending the bayberry trees. Nowadays, the men of many families have returned from outside. There is a place in the county. Who would be willing to run away when they can make money to support their family!" Qi Jintang hugged her and coaxed, "Isn't this all your fault? How can you say that you can't help!"
"Last time about Mrs. Zhou, I only called Sister Hongpei, which caused trouble for you." Hehua buried her head in front of Qi Jintang and said with a nasal voice.
"Nothing, those are just their excuses. Now I pay close attention to the money to dredge the river. They can't find any oil and water one by one, so they start to find trouble. But don't worry, the project will continue later. There are officials from above coming to check, not to mention that the people in the whole city are now concerned about the river. Who dares to cause trouble here will not please everyone."
"You didn't lie to me?" He Hua raised her crying face, looked at Qi Jintang pitifully, sniffed and said, "Have I been particularly convulsive recently?"
"No, I just like you like this." Qi Jintang pulled the handkerchief from the lotus skirt, wiped her tear-stained face, and then kissed her red nose, "What about Qi Peng? Just leave it alone, I'll go to my mother to discuss an idea, it's just that he refuses to study, his character is becoming more and more of a problem, we can no longer let him live at home like this."
Qi Jintang ate some food with He Huashao, coaxed her to rest, and then went to Qi's mother's room and said, "Mom, my cousin's family can't stay at home anymore."
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Qi's mother thought that her son was coming to get close to her, but she didn't expect that such a sentence would come out of her mouth.
"Qi Peng is holding on to the girl in my room, saying some stupid things, and even saying that he wants to go to Hehua to ask for a baby." Qi Jintang lifted up his clothes and sat down and said, "It's becoming more and more unruly. It's already grown big. A girl's stomach is full, and she is still uneasy about living a peaceful life. Instead, she is greedy, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. To put it bluntly, they and our family have been separated for a long time. Although they are from the same clan and have the same surname, They are not real relatives anymore, so why bother leaving them in such a mess at home?"
"You know that the family is divided, but outsiders don't know. Now it's no better than at home, and you can't produce evidence. If they bite you back and the trouble gets out of hand, do you still want to be an official?" Qi's mother is here But she can still distinguish the seriousness of this kind of thing. Although she is justified in this kind of thing, she can't say it after the incident. She followed Mr. Qi and went to several places to serve as an official. For this I have actually seen several cases of this kind of thing.
As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, but outsiders will only say that your family is an official, and will not support relatives, but will kick people out. When the time comes, it will be spread to ten and hundreds, and you will not be able to explain it clearly. If you meet someone who wants to punish you, then this is the best excuse.
So although she didn't like Qi Yongzheng's family, she didn't dare to let her son kick them out rashly. After hearing what Qi Peng did, she felt really angry. She raised her hand to her forehead for a while, then suddenly came up with an idea, clapped her leg and said: "I was just thinking about sending something home, so I asked your cousin's family to follow the escort boat back. I told them to go back and pay homage to their ancestors and ancestral halls. If they refused, it would be unreasonable for them. If they agreed, they would be taken away. Let them all go back to their hometown, and you can send someone else to send a letter back to your father, and let your father and the old people in the clan deal with it."
Qi Jintang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said repeatedly: "It's my mother's idea, I didn't even think of it."
"Of course, I am your mother. Although you have read a lot of books, my mother eats more salt than you eat about these personal matters and family affairs." It was rare for Qi's mother to be praised like this by her son, and she was in a good mood. He took his son and talked about how to behave in daily life and how to maintain a good relationship with other officials in the yamen.
Qi Jintang heard that it made sense and naturally took it to heart seriously. The atmosphere between mother and son suddenly relaxed a lot.
It was almost evening when we returned to the room, the lights were on, and the gauze curtains in the bedroom were still closed. Miaoer sat at the foot of the bed, lowered her head and embroidered the bellyband in her hands.
Qi Jintang made a silencing gesture towards her and raised his eyebrows at her, meaning to ask if he hadn't gotten up yet
Miao'er nodded, stepped back a few steps and whispered: "I didn't sleep well at first, and my energy was not good. Later I took the soothing incense that the doctor left last time and burned it a little, and then I fell asleep." . The slave girl saw that grandma’s feet are a little swollen and she can’t even put them on the slightly larger embroidered shoes she usually wears. Do you want to ask the doctor to take a look tomorrow?”
"The doctor told her about this last time. Soak her feet in warm water and rub her feet. If she usually puts her feet up when she is leaning or lying down, she will feel better." Qi Jintang ordered softly. He said, "If it still doesn't feel better, please quickly ask the doctor to take a look." (To be continued.
