Yuxi stayed asleep until he woke up before lunch, which caused not only a sore back but also a burning pain in the lower body.
The grandmother knew that Yuxi had woke up and went into the room and said, "I'm done with the medicinal bath, let's go take it!" The medicinal bath will be much better.
After soaking in the medicated bath, Yuxi applied the medicine herself, and then she was massaged by Mother Quan.
While giving her a massage, Mother Quan said, "Let's relax a little bit. Don't take care of your body because you are young." This is quite euphemistic.
Indulgence/desire is not a good thing for men and women. Of course, it is more harmful to men in comparison.
Yuxi was a little embarrassed, and deliberately squinted her eyes to pretend to be asleep, so that she wouldn't respond.
Yuxi just ate a plate of pastries while soaking in the medicinal bath, she wouldn't be hungry yet. Yun Qing and Zaozao wouldn't come over for lunch at noon, so Yuxi asked Liuer to have lunch in her yard, saving her from going to the main yard to eat under the big sun.
Mother Quan gave Yuxi a full-body massage, which made Yuxi so comfortable that she almost fell asleep again.
When Yuxi got up, she felt a lot more comfortable all over her body: "Mother, your craftsmanship must be passed on to Tong Fang." Grandma is getting older and older, and even if she wants to wait on her in two years. She, Yuxi also refused. So if Tong Fang could learn the skills of Grandma, he would be considered a successor.
Mother Quan said: "It depends on how much she can learn." Although Tong Fang is not very smart, she is willing to endure hardships and study. So to Tong Fang, Grandma is quite satisfied.
Yuxi smiled and said, "As long as you give her time, I believe you can learn the seven or eight costs of the mother." Tong Fang has learned these skills, and it will be her who will benefit in the future.
Mother Quan nodded and turned a topic: "Yuxi, Zhengyu is here today. I asked him his opinion, and he happily agreed."
When Yuxi heard this, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
Grandma is such a keen person, she knew it was not right when she saw this: "What's the matter?" When she said this before, Yuxi smiled.
Yuxi has been in friendship with the grandmother for so many years. Now that the grandmother talks about this, she naturally does not deny it roundly: "He didn't tell the grandmother anything else?"
Mother Quan's heart sank: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Zhengyu?" Seeing Yuxi's expression, she knew that the problem was with his grandnephew.
Yuxi nodded and said, "He often meets with a girl named Xue Qing. Xue Qing is 16 years old this year and looks like a flower. Because her parents have died, she is now living with her aunt."
Mother Quan looked very ugly, and asked, "Are you sure?" Seeing Yuxi nodded, Mother Quan cursed angrily: "This bastard thing?" She actually taught and accepted privately. And what irritated Grandma the most was that she didn't even tell her and let her help Zhang Luo's marriage.
Yuxi felt a little guilty, and said, "Mother, I also asked Xu Wu to investigate it just in case. It's not that I don't believe you." Quan Zhengyu has been out for so many years, who knows what it is like to be outside.
Mother Quan waved her hand and said, "Fortunately, you sent someone to investigate. Otherwise, if you wait until you get married and then violently come out, you will have harmed the licorice for the rest of your life. If so, I won't be at ease for the rest of my life." Fortunately, this matter. I haven't said it yet, it won't affect the reputation of licorice.
Hearing this, Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother, don't worry, you go to Zhengyu in the afternoon and ask carefully what is going on?"
Mother Quan nodded and said, "I'll go later." If this matter is not resolved, she feels uneasy.
While Yuxi was having lunch, Mother Quan took a maid out.
In Mao'er Hutong, the grandmother bought him a two-door house. The grandmother still has plenty of money in hand, and it is not impossible to have a larger one. It's just that Mother Quan wants Quan Zhengyu to work hard on her own, otherwise she won't be enterprising if she is ready for everything.
The concierge does not know Grandma, but the steward knows Grandma. Seeing the grandma, the steward said respectfully: "Old lady, the adult has gone to serve as a servant at the yamen, do you want to ask the adult to come back if you are younger."
The grandmother nodded and said, "Go and call him back now." Now that she has come out, she must figure out what happened this time.
The house was not far from the Yamen, and Quan Zhengyu came over three quarters later. After saluting the grandmother, Quan Zhengyu said, “If grandma’s aunt sends someone to tell me something, I’ll be there.” As long as he tells Shangguan that he is going to Pingxi Palace, Shangguan will not stop him. Will diligently ask.
Mother Quan looked at Quan Zhengyu and asked, "Do you really want to marry licorice?"
Quan Zhengyu looked at Grandma's face and felt bad, but he nodded and asked, "Naturally, I really wanted to marry. Grandma, is it because the licorice girl is unwilling?"
Mother Quan's eyes were full of disappointment, and she said: "Since you really want to marry licorice, then tell me what happened to Xue Qing?"
Quan Zhengyu's face flashed in panic, but soon he pretended to be calm and said: "Auntie, what is Xue Qing? I don't know who is Xue Qing." After that, Quan Zhengyu hurriedly explained: " Auntie, someone must have deliberately discredited me so that I can't marry a licorice girl."
Grandma, whoever heard this, still didn't understand. Although she knew that the probability of Xu Wu making a mistake was very low, when she came, she still hoped that Xu Wu made the mistake this time. But now, the last fluke is gone. The grandmother said: "No one discredited you, the princess told me this personally."
Quan Zhengyu couldn't pretend this time anymore, and said silently, "Why? How could the princess know such a thing?" The princess knew everything about him, how could he know about him.
The grandmother sneered: "If the princess doesn't know, do you plan to marry licorice and then accept Xue Qing as a concubine? In the future, you will have a good life of good wives and concubines enjoying the blessings of the people?"
Quan Zhengyu shook his head and said, "No, grandma, I have broken up with Miss Xue."
The grandmother was so angry that she laughed: "Aren't you meeting in the box of Li Ji Teahouse the day before yesterday? You won't tell me, you went to see her the day before yesterday and broke her?"
They even knew the time and place of their meeting, and anything else was sophistry. Quan Zhengyu said: "Grandma, Zhengyu is a ghost who is obsessed with her heart. She is reluctant to miss Xue Qing, nor does she want to miss the licorice girl. Grandma, I know I was wrong."
The whole mother gave a wry smile when she saw this. Quan Zhengyu was only five years old when she returned to her hometown, and her elder-nephew was relatively dull, so all her thoughts were devoted to Quan Zhengyu. She personally taught him to read and read, and later sent him to the school. I didn’t expect Quan Zhengyu to go to the school not long after he started to look down on his parents and brother who were shoveling in the soil, and felt that his parents were ashamed of shoveling in the soil. , Facing the same mother's brother is also arrogant. Mother Quan was a little frightened at the time, so she severely punished Quan Zhengyu and asked him to apologize to his parents and brother.
After the punishment, I saw that Quan Zhengyu had corrected his attitude, and the grandmother Quan Zhengyu thought that when Quan Zhengyu was young, it was normal to have a comparability, and this matter had passed since it was changed. Now that I think about it, I think it's too simple, and my nature is hard to change. She can teach Quan Zhengyu to read and learn how to be a human being, and she can also give Quan Zhengyu a good education, but she can't change the selfishness in Quan Zhengyu's bones.
Mother Quan sighed, and said, "It's hard to draw a tiger's skin and its bones." No matter what's in the bones, nothing can be changed.
Quan Zhengyu's face paled when he heard this: "Auntie, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I am tomorrow, no, I will go to Xue Qing to break it now." Compared with Qiancheng, a woman counts. what.
Mother Quan was very chilling when she heard this, and after a while, Mother Quan said: "How do you deal with Xue Qing's relationship is your business, and I will not interfere. Your future affairs, whether it is marriage or official career. , I won't care anymore." Since I can entangle that Xue Qing for so long, it proves that I really like that girl. Now she says she will give up for the sake of her future, and she has no value in the future, is it right
For Quan Zhengyu, these words are no less than five thunders: "Auntie, I know that I was wrong, and I will definitely change it in the future. Auntie, please forgive me!"
Grandma shook her head and said: "I have been with the princess for so many years, and I have never asked the princess for myself. On the contrary, it was for you, and I had three mouthfuls with the princess. Zhengyu, grandmother asked herself to be able to do everything you did. . No matter how much, grandmother aunt can do nothing, and the future will depend on you." For the first time, Quan Zhengyu was placed in the guard camp. For the second time, I asked for an official for Quan Zhengyu. For the third time, this time, I asked for licorice for Quan Zhengyu. She digs her heart out for Quan Zhengyu, but how does Quan Zhengyu treat her. If Yuxi didn't find out about Xue Qing in time, she would not only be sorry for the licorice who trusted her in the future, but also have no face to face Yuxi. When Quan Zhengyu thought of her a little bit in his heart, he wouldn't do such a thing.
After listening to these words, Quan Zhengyu knew that Mother Quan had really let go of him completely.
Before leaving, the grandmother looked at Quan Zhengyu, who was looking frustrated, and said: "You can do it yourself!" As long as Quan Zhengyu stays alone and works hard, she is better than his parents who are digging in the soil.
That night the grandmother couldn't sleep, she opened the window and blew down, but forgot to close it, and fell ill the next day. In Yuxi's impression, Grandma seldom gets sick, and this time I was really sad by Quan Zhengyu.
Mother Quan saw Yuxi coming to visit her and said, "What are you doing here? What if you get sick?"
Yuxi smiled and sat down and said, "After the sickness is over, the sickness is over, so I can take advantage of the illness to take a good rest for two days."
Mother Quan knew that Yuxi said this to comfort herself deliberately, and took Yuxi's hand and said, "I can't open this mouth over licorice, you can tell me about it!" She almost killed the licorice child .
Yuxi shook Grandma's hand and said, "Mother, when you are old, Zaozao and Brother Hao will be filial to you! You will not be alone." Yuxi knows that Quanma is actually scared. I'm lonely when I'm old.
Mother Quan nodded slightly and said, "Zaozao and Brother Hao are both good children." Zaozao is sensible and filial, which she sees in her eyes. With a big sister like Zaozao as a role model, Brother Hao will certainly not be bad in the future.
Yuxi smiled and said: "Since they know they are good children, they will definitely be filial to you. Other people, we treat you sincerely, and stay away from this." Through this licorice matter , Yuxi naturally also knows what Quan Zhengyu is. How could such a person be truly filial to Grandma in the future.
Mother Quan couldn't help sighing angrily again, and said, "You were only four when I taught you, and you were only five years old when I taught him. Why are you so much worse?" Except for Yuxi, Mother Quan He also carefully taught Quan Zhengyu alone. But Yuxi had nothing to choose in terms of character, and Quan Zhengyu didn't have to talk about it.
Yuxi said: "Some people are naturally selfish. This kind of people can't be broken no matter how the day after tomorrow teaches them, so mothers don't have to blame themselves."
Mother Lan brought the medicine in, and the grandmother didn't want to drink it.
Although Mother Lan didn't know what happened, it was not a good thing, so she didn't ask. Seeing that Grandma didn’t want to take the medicine, Mother Lan said, “Mother, you drink this medicine to recover from the disease early, or else the big princess will also be thinking about it! The big princess heard that she was sick in the morning. They all said that I would come to see my mother! I was afraid that I had been sick and it took a lot of effort to stop it."
When the grandmother heard this, she drank the medicine immediately without shirk. The medicine contained soothing medicinal materials, and the grandmother fell asleep after a while.
Yuxi went back to the bedroom, called licorice, and said, "The thing that the grandmother said before that she wanted to promise you to his grand-nephew, if something happened, it shouldn't have happened."
Licorice is not stupid, and you can understand it when you hear it: "Wang Hao, did you get sick because of this?"
Yuxi thought about it, and felt that hiding the licorice is not good, so she said the matter: "Don't blame Mother, Mother is also in the dark. Mother Quan Zhengyu knew about this yesterday. I scolded, and I was so guilty that I was sick."
Licorice turned his face pale in fright, and after a while he recovered and knelt on the ground to thank Yuxi for his favor. Thinking about taking a concubine before marrying, such a man can see how bad his character is. Had it not been for the princess to send someone to investigate, then she would have entered the fire pit.
Yuxi said: "You have served me for so many years, I will definitely find you a good character."
Licorice shook her head quickly and said: "Wang Hao, I will not marry, I will serve the princess for the rest of my life." Before seeing the princess and the princess lovingly and lovingly, she also wanted to marry a good man and lead an ordinary but happy life. But she forgot that there are too few good men like the princes and too many unscrupulous men in this world. Aunt Zhang and Aunt Tong are precedents.
Yuxi knew that the licorice was frightened, and said, "Don't be afraid, I will pick a good one for you, and I won't marry you out in a muddle." Once the woman got married, her life would be ruined. So when you say kisses to Licorice and the others, you must check the details of each other carefully.
