"Yes, thank you grandma for explaining to the maid and concubine today, otherwise the maid and concubine will do stupid things." Aunt Jiang thanked lightly, "Don't worry, grandma, although the maid and concubine are soft on the outside and strong on the inside, they won't do anything like hit a stone with an egg." What a stupid thing, I still want to live well for my Brother Chuan."
"I'm relieved if you can say that. Hurry up and invite Hua Daopo over here, let's light a long-burning lamp for Brother Chuan, and I will pay for the lamp oil for you. May this child be safe and sound. They say that if there is a catastrophe, there must be death." Houfu, he has survived two life-and-death hardships, which shows that he will have great promise in the future, and you have something to look forward to in the rest of your life."
Seeing that Aunt Jiang listened to her persuasion, Xu Ranyun seemed very happy, and after saying a few more words, she got up and said, "Okay, I'm going to pay my respects to my wife and old lady, you don't have to go today, Brother Chuan has something like this, everyone knows that you have to take care of him, the old lady will not blame you for being rude."
Aunt Jiang nodded in agreement, and personally sent her out. Here, Xu Ranyun returned to her room, watched Fengxian open the jewelry box to choose jewelry for herself, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she murmured: "Today is Er Fifteen, everyone is going to say hello to the old lady, hehe, it will probably be lively this time."
"Grandma is so sure? Aunt Jiang is going to make trouble? The servant girl looks at her as if she has been persuaded by grandma." Fengxian asked softly, inserting a pearl hairpin into Xu Ranyun's hair.
"You don't understand her temperament, she looks soft, but don't push her to the point of no return, otherwise she can do anything. Brother Chuan is her lifeblood, and now she has suffered This kind of thing is forcing her to the point where she can't retreat. Don't say that the double reed song I sang with you showed her the way, even if I sincerely tried to persuade her, I would not be persuaded."
Xu Ranyun said this. Then he shook his head and said regretfully: "It's a pity that Brother Chuan is so lucky that he didn't die. If he died, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so troublesome. Aunt Jiang could just grab a knife and go find Grandma to fight for her life. Wouldn't it be more fun for you? Speaking of which, did you pay enough attention to what I said? What do I think? He, a four-year-old kid, shouldn't have escaped this disaster."
Fengxian hurriedly said: "Why didn't you put your foot down? If you put in more, I'm afraid that there will be some clues left. Just like this, the servants are afraid that the bowl will be dirty and people will catch it, and they will rush to deal with it when they come out when they find a chance." Yes. In the final analysis, it was Master Chuan who was so fateful, how could he have imagined that Dr. Liao was at our house. Why did he come so quickly? There are also Master and Doctor Fang, who also came very quickly. The servants were so scared that they broke out in a cold sweat It's gone. If they notice something, grandma will be in danger."
Xu Ranyun nodded, and said in a deep voice: "You are right, the so-called hundred secrets and one sparse. Although I made a quick decision at the time, I also considered all aspects, the only thing I didn't consider. Thanks to Dr. Liao's medical skills After all, it was not at the peak. Later, Doctor Fang, I felt that he seemed to have noticed something. It’s just that the grandma made such a toss, and Brother Chuan’s pulse was weak, so he didn’t dare to judge it accurately, so he didn’t say this Just come out."
Hearing what she said, Fengxian suddenly remembered something and lost her voice: "Grandma, could it be that Grandma's emetic really worked? That's why Master Chuan escaped, otherwise the weight... Slave... Sigh !"
Xu Ranyun nodded silently and said: "What you said is exactly what I was wondering about, but I have never heard of this method of saving lives, so how could it be useful? Could it be because the ginger syrup was in her stomach, and she Have you figured this out?"
"I think it's like this..." Fengxian didn't wait to finish, and suddenly stroked her chest, and said in fear: "Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Young Master Chuan at that time, otherwise we just need to test the spit out thing, wouldn't it be No... thank God, no one thought of it, and let the girls clean up at that time."
Xu Ranyun stood up and said with a sneer: "Forget it, it's useless to say these things now. No matter what, we didn't leave any evidence behind, and no one can say anything. Let's go, let's go to the old lady, today I don't want to miss this good show."
The two masters and servants packed up and went out to the north courtyard. Looking at the unmelted snow along the way, Xu Ranyun laughed and said: "This is caused by Brother Chuan's troubles. In the past, when it snowed, the mansion There must be more strange snowmen everywhere, this time the snow fell heavily, I didn't expect not a single snowman to be seen."
Fengxian smiled and said: "Isn't it? Usually the masters are kind, even if they are naughty, it doesn't matter. Maybe some snowman caught the eyes of the eldest son or the second master, and he can get a few dollars as a reward. Now the mansion is being rewarded because of Master Chuan. The masters are all worried about this matter, who dare not open their eyes at this time?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the daughter-in-law who was in charge of Duan Tingxuan's private treasury coming from the opposite side, saw them, and hurriedly saluted. Xu Ranyun snorted coldly and turned her head away: she was the one who took care of her husband's private treasury, but Su Nuannuan "robbed" it abruptly. After returning from Pushan Temple for a few days, even the person who was in charge of the private treasury The lady in charge has been replaced by this daughter-in-law of the Yue family, so how can she be angry
Fengxian then asked: "Where did Sister Yue come from? You also went to the old lady's courtyard?"
The daughter-in-law of the Yue family smiled and said: "Yes, I went to ask Grandma for instructions. When I arrived at Chunfeng Garden, I said that Grandma came to the North Courtyard early in the morning, so I came here."
Fengxian smiled and said: "Why is it so urgent? You still have to chase after grandma, this is not the New Year's Eve shopping, and there is no money in or out of the private treasury, right?"
The daughter-in-law of the Yue family smiled and said: "Grandma is charitable, because some refugees came to the capital earlier, and now I want to take some money out of the private treasury to make some clothes and bedding for those refugees..." Before finishing speaking, Xu Ranyun suddenly turned around and said sharply "There are porridge sheds in the mansion, and hundreds of catties of grain are scattered every day. The porridge sheds on the south side of the city are stretched out for a distance of one or two miles. She still has to take money from the private treasury? What do you think?"
The daughter-in-law of the Yue family said neither humble nor overbearing: "What does grandma think, how can a servant have the right to ask? But I heard that grandma said that the refugees now have no shortage of food, but they suddenly gather in the capital. Where can they find a place to stay? The temple or the dilapidated yard are being dealt with, isn’t it freezing? That’s why I made this decision. I have collected a batch of old clothes in the mansion a few days ago and sent them over, but they were not enough, so I discussed with my master about using the private treasury. I don’t know the specific slaves.”
What Yue's daughter-in-law said half explained the reason. How could someone like Xu Ranyun be so considerate for refugees? I thought it would be good to give them a bite, so the daughter-in-law of the Yue family ordered it; secondly, she told the other party: This matter was approved by the master, so don't make bad ideas, thinking about using this matter to sow discord.
