Qiao Zhongqing's situation was very bad, to be precise, it was terribly bad. He was stabbed with a knife before he recovered, and he went to the forbidden area once again. When it came to the attack of the poisonous snake, although Qiao Yueshan cleaned up his snake venom afterwards, after several tossings, his vitality was completely lost.
Qiao Zhongqing had to rely on big tonic soup every day, Tianshan snow lotus was the best, ginseng chicken soup was second, but they couldn't get such precious things as Tianshan snow lotus, and they brought some ginseng from Qiao's house when they moved, but this It's been a few days since I ate it all.
Mrs. Xu went to the table, looking at a large bowl of sweet potato porridge without oil and water in front of her, her stomach was tumbling. In Qiao's house, sweet potatoes were used by servants to feed pigs, but now, they became hers. It's lunch.
Resisting the strong discomfort, Mrs. Xu finished the porridge.
Afterwards, Mrs. Xu went to Qiao Zhongqing's house.
There are only three rooms in this house, one is for Danju and Lin's mother, one is for her and Qiao Yueshan, and the other one is for the two sons. The youngest son is boarding in the academy, and he doesn't know about the great changes in the family.
crunch—
The moment the door was pushed open, the piercing voice made Xu's heart tremble.
"Ma'am, be careful, why don't you hold the lamp?" Mama Lin came over with an oil lamp, stepped into the house first, and showed Xu the way. After Xu also came in, she adjusted the wick Brighter.
But no matter how bright it is, it can't compare to the peony incense candles in Enbo Mansion.
Xu sat down by the bed, held her son's hand, and took a sad breath: "Mother Lin, how much money do we have left?"
Mother Lin took out the shriveled purse from the drawer, hesitated for a moment, and poured out two copper coins from it: "That's all, madam."
Xu's throat slipped: "Aunt Mei has gone back to her natal family to raise money."
Mother Lin lowered her eyes: "... yes, we will be rich soon."
Having said that, both Xu and Lin Miaomiao understood that Aunt Mei could not come back, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and all the servants left, what would an aunt leave behind? A bitch is ruthless, an actor is ungrateful, Aunt Mei was born as an actor, do you expect her to help the second room when it falls? Can really think about it.
Xu stood up, and found a small box from the old wardrobe.
Mother Lin frowned: "Ma'am, what are you going to do?"
Mrs. Xu didn't speak, and went out with a small box in her pocket.
Mother Lin motioned for Danju to follow, and Xu scolded, "You all wait at home!"
At such a moment of embarrassment, she didn't want to be seen by the servants.
Mrs. Xu habitually got into the carriage and waited for a long time before the coachman came to drive, only to realize that the coachman had "retired and returned to his hometown".
Ms. Xu abandoned her car and walked. It was only a few miles from her rented place to the city center. A slender alley was like a watershed. On the left was a whole row of old gray and white walls, and on the right was busy traffic and money.
Xu passed through the alley, and the voices of people swept in like waves. The salesman with the shelves yelled past her, and the pedestrians crowded shoulder to shoulder. She walked alone among the people. For the first time, she felt a little strange.
In front of a pawnshop, Mrs. Xu stopped in her tracks, hesitated again and again, and walked in, holding the box tightly.
"... I'll give you two taels of silver for this hairpin, fifty taels in total." The shopkeeper said with some calculations.
Xu was shocked: "These jewelry are all made of pure gold, why are they only worth fifty taels? Do you know how much silver I bought them for? This hairpin is more than fifty taels! You only give two taels, do you want to buy it?" Grab it!"
This kind of customer, the shopkeeper sees a lot, they just want to ask for more money, but what is the pawnshop for? It's not a place for buying and selling at equal value. If the future guest has a ransom, they can redeem the original amount of things.
The shopkeeper smiled unhurriedly and said, "Madam, the lower the price I ask, the easier it will be for you to redeem things in the future? If I ask a sky-high price, you won't be able to redeem them in the future!"
Xu Shi didn't understand this truth, but she is really short of money right now, fifty taels of silver is not enough to buy a few high-quality ginseng.
Suppressing the shock in her heart, Xu said with a normal face: "Why are you worried that I won't be able to redeem it? Just ask the price. I don't believe you can receive such a good thing every day."
The shopkeeper showed a slight smile: "In this capital city, if a brick falls, it can hit three people. Madam really thinks that she is the richest of the unlucky people?"
Xu choked.
The shopkeeper stretched out his index finger: "Twelve taels more, the highest price. If Madam is willing to sell, sell it. If not, go to another house to try your luck."
Of course Mrs. Xu refused to sell. The jewelry in her box was more than six hundred taels, but the unscrupulous shopkeeper only gave her sixty taels. It was obvious that she saw that she was short of money and wanted to kill her severely.
Like that little slut, he's a looter!
With so many pawnshops in the capital, she couldn't believe that no one offered a high price!
Holding the small box in her arms, Mrs. Xu left the pawn shop angrily.
However, what was desperating was that she hadn't taken a few steps when she was bumped into by a beggar. The beggar quickly snatched the box from her arms, and then ran away!
Xu yelled: "It's a robbery! Someone is here! It's a robbery!"
Passers-by looked at her one after another.
She grabbed a young man casually: "Little brother, my things were robbed, you help me get them back! I will thank you very much!"
The boy looked at her suspiciously, then smiled coldly: "It's you?"
Xu was taken aback.
This young man looks familiar.
She remembered that he was the "peer" who caused trouble at the Lingzhi Church that day. His eldest brother was "dead" by the Lingzhi Church. He came to ask for justice, but was beaten out by the people from the Lingzhi Church.
The young man sneered: "My elder brother has recovered, thank you Lingzhi Church for your kindness!"
After saying that, he pulled back his sleeve coldly and left the place without looking back.
The beggar has run away, taking all her belongings with her.
Xu covered her head in despair, and slowly squatted down against the corner of the wall...
After autumn, the sky gets dark early. In the past, the children had dinner and played wildly with Brother Zhong in the yard before seeing the sunset. Now when a bowl of hot food is served, the sun will slowly set.
The orange-red light draws a warm color to the sky.
Qiao Wei put the last plate of green vegetables on the plate, and took a rag to uncover the steaming steamer.
The two little buns were lying at the door, poking their round heads in, widening their black and bright eyes, staring at the drawer in front of their mother for a moment, their mouths salivating because of the strong aroma.
Qiao Wei raised her eyes and saw two little greedy cats, she couldn't help smiling: "Are you so greedy?"
The two nodded.
They smelled the aroma at the foot of the mountain, and ran up the mountain with a rattling sound. After finishing their homework, their mother hadn't served dinner yet, and they didn't enjoy themselves playing in the yard.
"Is it a shrimp? Mother?" Wang Shu asked while sucking his saliva.
Qiao Wei smiled and shook her head: "There are no more shrimps now."
"Oh." Wang Shu lowered her head in disappointment, she really likes eating shrimp, shrimp slips, shrimp balls, shrimp shells, spicy crayfish, garlic crayfish... blah blah blah.
Qiao Wei looked at her daughter's small appearance with a smile, and said, "This thing is better than shrimp."
"Really?" Wang Shu's eyes lighted up again.
Jing Yun swallowed his saliva.
Qiao Wei opened the drawer, and a gust of hot air rushed towards her face. With a groan, she took out the steamed hairy crabs one by one and put them on the plate.
August and September of the lunar calendar are the best seasons to eat crabs. At this time, the crabs are the fattest and tender, and female crabs are the best. I can't help the temptation of the female crab, I can't wait to eat more than a dozen in one meal.
But crab is the best, don't be greedy, it is a cold food, eating too much is not good for the body, it may cause digestive tract diseases, and may even cause biliary colic and so on.
Qiao Wei took 20 steamed crabs to the small courtyard, and kept six here, three belonged to Wang Shu, and three belonged to herself. Jing Yun... was allergic and couldn't eat it.
Jing Yun looked at his mother pitifully as he put the crabs into his sister's bowl, so greedy that tears almost came out.
Qiao Wei pinched her son's face: "Mother made you fried rice cakes with crab meat."
"Can I eat crabs?" Jing Yun was very excited.
Qiao Wei said: "No, it's a vegetarian dish made with tofu, but mother assure you, it tastes similar to crab meat!"
Jing Yun pitifully picked up the chopsticks.
Why can mother and younger sister eat shrimp and crab
Why are mother and sister so strong
Why are mother and sister's handwriting so ugly
Also, why do mother and younger sister look so alike
Is he real...
For the first time, Little Baozi Jingyun began to doubt his life.
Not being able to eat crabs is such a cruel thing, it’s even more sad than not being able to lead a sheep, Zhu’er hung the jade pendant that came along yesterday on Jing Yun’s belt, and patted Jing Yun’s little shoulder, looking like a young man doing a good job look.
Qiao Wei stared, wait, isn't this jade pendant belongs to Boss Rong
Is this little monkey stealing again? !
Qiao Wei put down the chopsticks with a snap, and Zhu'er was so frightened that the monkey's body shook, and she let go of her feet and rushed up to the roof.
Qiao Wei stared at her: "I'll deal with you later!"
Zhu'er wept bitterly, taking advantage of Qiao Wei's inattention, she took out the crab that came along.
Qiao Wei saw that there was one missing crab on the table: "Xiaobai! Catch it!"
Huh
Where's Xiaobai
"One, two... nineteen, why are there only nineteen? Madam brought twenty." Qiniang wondered.
Agui slapped Xiao Wei on the head: "You kid is stealing food again!"
Hang Chi Hang Chi, Hang Chi Hang Chi.
Xiaobai sat on the branch with the crab in his arms, gnawing on it bit by bit, very happy.
The beauty of crabs is that they are delicious no matter how they are made. Qiao Wei opened the crab shell, and a lump of plump crab roe came into view. I dipped it in the vinegar dish of silk, and tasted it myself first. It was sour, with a little spicy taste of ginger, and the crab roe was fat, tender and delicious.
There was no problem with Wang Shu breaking the crab. Like her mother, she scooped out the yellow thing with a spoon, dipped it in some sauce, and ate it in one bite.
Wang Shu nodded like pounding garlic: "It's delicious! It's so delicious!"
Jing Yun gnawed at his "crab roe" resentfully, I am not my own, I am not my own, I am not my own...
Unlimited resentment.
Wang Shu is a self-taught crab eater. The crab roe and crab feet are all gnawed until there is no residue left. When Qiao Wei gracefully kills the first hairy crab and is about to eat the second one, the crab shells are already on the plate. there is none left!
Wang Shuyi licked the corner of his lips: "Is there any more, mother?"
Bear boy, eating so much will cause diarrhea!
Wang Shu ate another bowl of rice, a chicken leg, five large pieces of braised pork, half a carp with watercress, and a bowl of mutton vermicelli soup.
When Wang Shu was about to eat a steamed bun that was bigger than her face, Qiao Wei held down her fleshy little hand: "Don't eat it, your stomach will explode if you eat it again."
Wang Shu smacked his lips: "Okay, sir, you should eat well in the morning, eat enough at noon, and eat less in the evening."
This, this is still called less? !
Qiao Wei cleaned up the dishes and boiled a large bucket of water to bathe the children. It was getting cold, so she didn't dare to wash them outside. After soaking in the room for a while, she picked them up from the tub.
After drying the two of them, Qiao Wei handed Jing Yun a set of pure cotton pajamas. At this time, the ice silk would be cold, not as warm as pure cotton.
Jing Yun quickly got dressed.
Wang Shu couldn't fasten the button with her little fleshy hands, Qiao Wei helped her do it, she lay down on the bed, hugged the pillow and rolled into it.
Jing Yun also took off his shoes and began to crawl on the bed.
Qiao Wei suddenly said: "Go to sleep in your own room today."
"Why?" Jing Yun and Wang Shu asked in unison.
"Because... because you have grown up!" Qiao Wei said: "You should learn to sleep by yourself, and you can't sleep with your mother all the time."
The two hang on and don't leave.
However, Qiao Wei's attitude was very firm. One in each hand, she carried the two of them back to her room, forcibly covered them with a quilt, and left behind a small night pearl.
The Ye Mingzhu was given by Mingxiu. It is safer to use the Ye Mingzhu in case the children get up in the middle of the night and encounter lights.
The two children watched their mother disappearing through the door pitifully, and almost burst into tears.
No wonder there are crabs and rice cakes, so they are coaxing them to sleep, mother is too bad, too bad, too bad!
Qiao Wei went back to her room humming a little tune, and took out a note from the drawer: See you in Haishi.
The corners of Qiao Wei's lips curled up inadvertently, she put the note away, looked at the 360-degree face in the bronze mirror with no dead ends, and raised her eyebrows in satisfaction.
Afterwards, he put his hand into the belly pocket and gently closed it, forming a beautiful career line.
She stood up and bent slightly.
The curve is beautiful, revealing but not transparent.
Perfect.
Just as Qiao Wei was admiring her figure narcissistically, another figure suddenly appeared in the bronze mirror, and Qiao Wei was startled! Busy turned around and looked at him awkwardly: "When did you come?"
Ji Mingxiu looked at her with great interest, and his eyes flicked around in an unspeakable place in her: "It has come since you relieved yourself."
What self-relief? she just...
Qiao Wei was speechless.
Ji Mingxiu approached her slowly, Qiao Wei took a step back and pressed against the dressing table, unable to retreat, opened her eyes wide and stared at him unwillingly, he smiled: "It's the second time, Master Qiao .”
Qiao Wei blushed: "Don't talk nonsense, my clothes are just uncomfortable, adjust them."
"Really?" Ji Mingxiu obviously didn't believe it, the teasing in his eyes was burning like fire, burning Qiao Wei's cheeks hot.
Qiao Wei cleared her throat, avoided his gaze, looked at the open window and said, "Didn't it mean Haishi? Why are you here so early?"
Ji Mingxiu raised his lips playfully: "If you don't come so early, how do you know that Chief Qiao is lonely?"
Qiao Wei glared, "I told you I didn't!"
Ji Mingxiu's eyes fell on the empty bed: "You are very thoughtful."
Qiao Wei blushed: "Don't get me wrong, I let them go back to sleep because they are old enough to learn to sleep by themselves."
Ji Mingxiu turned his head and looked at her playfully: "I didn't seem to say that I was thoughtful about it."
Qiao Wei gasped, and widened her clear eyes: "You don't say it, but you write it all over your face."
Ji Mingxiu looked at her steadfastly, his eyes were like a deep pool under the moonlit night, bottomless.
Qiao Wei only felt that she had fallen in with her foot and was drowning in her breath.
Just when Qiao Wei was almost out of breath, Ji Mingxiu smiled softly. He was born extremely beautiful, and this smile added a bit of charm, which can shake people's bones. It's all crispy.
Qiao Wei supported the chair.
"Promise." Ji Mingxiu gently tapped her forehead with his slender fingers like jade, and then conjured up an exquisite hosta like a magic trick. The body of the hairpin is made of brown-red sandalwood, with a white magnolia flower on the top , the petals of magnolia are clear white jade, and the stamen is a green emerald bead. The quality of jade and the wooden body are perfectly combined, which has an indescribable elegance.
Qiao Wei is not a person who particularly loves jewelry, and she couldn't take her eyes away when she saw this hairpin.
"Better than the last one?" Ji Mingxiu looked at her and asked.
Qiao Wei nodded.
The topaz plum blossom hairpin is also beautiful, but in terms of temperament, it loses to this white magnolia.
Ji Mingxiu asked her to sit on the stool and put it on for her. Qiao Wei looked at the person in the bronze mirror, but there was just an extra hairpin, but for some reason, a subtle change occurred in her whole temperament.
"Are you satisfied, Chief Qiao?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
Qiao Wei said cheekily: "You are beautiful, you look good in anything you wear."
Ji Mingxiu said: "My mother said she wanted to keep her daughter-in-law's most beloved jewelry during her lifetime."
Qiao Wei stopped holding the hairpin.
Ji Mingxiu looked at her eyes that were about to dodge from the bronze mirror: "The Qiao family has taken it back, when will the identity be announced?"
It was announced that she was his passing wife.
Qiao Wei lowered her eyes: "My father hasn't woken up yet, I think it would be more legitimate to announce his identity after he wakes up."
Ji Mingxiu pinched her chin, forcing her to turn her face and meet his gaze: "Speak human."
People say that she doesn't want to get married.
Isn't it good that she is happy and carefree on the mountain? Why do you want to step into the mansion? With her unreasonable temperament, she will pay back ten points to anyone who offends her. There are many people in the house and there are many things going on. If she goes, she will definitely make his house a mess.
She has only met two of his family members, one is his grandmother, the other is his sister, they are not easy to get along with, and they are all married, not counting his parents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters.
He cares about her now, but when he finds out that she is not what he imagined at all, and she can't be a submissive wife like the women in ancient times, what should he do
Qiao Wei muttered: "Isn't it good for us?"
Ji Mingxiu's expression faded: "You want to keep sneaking around?"
Qiao Wei rubbed her neck: "...not sneaky, haven't you seen my family?"
Ji Mingxiu snorted, "Your family? Or your servant?"
Qiao Wei corrected: "You have seen my father."
Ji Mingxiu sneered: "Yes, I have seen it before. He doesn't know who I am, and I don't know who he is."
Qiao Wei pursed her lips: "Didn't I find the evidence of that night yet? When I find it, I will tell my father and my godmother."
"Tell them what?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
Qiao Wei settled down: "Tell them...you are the father of the child, and I am your...fu...fiancee."
"Then?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
"Then what?" Qiao Wei looked at him inexplicably.
"Then you never thought of taking the child back home with me."
"I… "
"This is your father's medicine." Ji Mingxiu took out a medicine bottle from his arms and put it on the table, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
"Meditation!" Qiao Wei grabbed his hand.
Ji Mingxiu separated her fingers, turned around, and left the room.
Qiao Wei looked at his gradually disappearing back, picked up the medicine bottle, and felt a little uncomfortable.
…
The next day, Eunuch Cui sent someone to collect the goods, and he saw mighty and majestic guards and majestic carriages parked at the entrance of the village like an army, which made the villagers dare not even approach.
Manager Cui ordered the goods and left satisfied.
The people in the workshop saw that the business of the proprietress was really good, and they became more energetic in their work, and the output of the workshop increased a lot.
Since Qiniang was appointed as the steward, Qiao Wei didn't need to be involved in many things in the workshop.
Qiao Wei went to the sorghum field to harvest the last bundle of sorghum, and went to Aunt Luo's house.
These sorghum were originally for sale, and it was too troublesome to move them to the mountains, so they put them all in the backyard of Luo's house.
On ten mu of land, the average yield per mu is 180 jin. It is very rare to grow such a result in a drought year.
Aunt Luo called a dealer and sold the sorghum.
Originally, the sorghum couldn’t be sold in the market, but by coincidence, everyone didn’t grow sorghum, so the winery couldn’t get sorghum. This year, they tried their best to raise the price. I heard that there are nearly two thousand catties of sorghum in Rhino Village. The distilleries in several nearby towns all sent dealers over. From the beginning of one penny per catty, they got two pennies per catty. I bought it for a pound.
"Tsk tsk tsk, ten cents a catty, that's the price for meat!" Aunt Luo really didn't know what to say to Xiao Wei, what is this girl really doing, her luck is so enviable.
As soon as the news is released, it is estimated that many people will plant sorghum next year.
Aunt Luo went up the mountain to send money to Qiao Wei.
Suddenly, a beautiful lady stopped her: "Ma'am, I want to ask, where does the girl surnamed Qiao live in your village?"
Only Xiaowei's surname is Qiao in the whole village. Aunt Luo looked at her strangely: "Who are you?"
"I'm Miss Qiao's fourth aunt, and I'm here to deliver something to her." The fourth lady said softly.
"Not the second aunt?" Aunt Luo asked.
The Fourth Madam smiled softly and said, "No."
Aunt Luo said: "I'm going to find her, let's go together."
The fourth wife went up the mountain with Aunt Luo.
This was the first time that the Fourth Madam went deep into such a barren place. Even her horses were unwilling to go into the village. She got out of the car without letting the servant girl follow her, and entered the village alone.
Guessing that the eldest girl might be having a bad time, she never thought it would be this bad.
However, this thinking changed when he saw the villa on the hill.
A fence full of pink roses, a yard with green grass, a few delicate white roses planted, a magnificent house, bucket arches and cornices, walking inside, and an exquisite backyard, swings, wooden horses... all kinds of children's toys Toys, and beyond the backyard, there is a spacious garden. Not many flowers and plants have been planted in the garden, but there is a large pond made of white marble.
"You sit down first, I'll call her." Aunt Luo told the fourth lady to sit down.
The fourth lady was embarrassed to continue to look at her, and sat quietly in her seat.
Qiao Wei came out of the kitchen and poured a cup of tea for the Fourth Madam: "Why is Fourth Aunt here?"
The fourth lady was a little surprised when she saw her dressed as a peasant woman, and then said with a normal expression: "Isn't it almost the Mid-Autumn Festival? I'll send you some hairy crabs, and by the way, I'll show you the blueprint."
As she spoke, she put a large basket on the table, and took out two pictures from her wide sleeve.
Qiao Wei didn't look at the crab, but took her blueprint.
The fourth lady said: "One is your original embroidered building, and the other is the yard of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. This is a sketch, you can see if there is anything that needs to be changed, but I still suggest you go to the mansion to see it yourself. "
Renovation is a major event, so naturally I have to go in person.
Qiao Wei nodded: "I have nothing to do today, let's go with you."
The fourth lady looked at her: "You don't look very good."
Qiao Wei touched the corners of her lips: "I slept a little late, which made my aunt bother. Is my aunt's carriage at the entrance of the village?"
"En." Fourth Madam said again: "Brother, are you going?"
Qiao Wei smiled faintly: "My father is asleep, so I won't disturb him."
"Also."
Qiao Wei changed into a refreshing outfit, handed over the villa to Aunt Luo and Bier, and then went down the mountain with the fourth wife.
The rhinoceros village is only fifty or sixty miles away from the capital, so hurry up and arrive in the afternoon, and it will take more than half an hour to arrive at Qiao's house.
"Is Fourth Uncle back?" Qiao Wei sat on the carriage and asked chatting.
The fourth lady said softly: "I'm back, I'm cleaning up the Ganoderma lucidum hall these few days."
The Ganoderma lucidum hall has been turned into a mess by Mrs. Xu, and its reputation is stinky. It may not take a day or two to get it straightened out.
Qiao Wei said: "Thanks for your hard work, Fourth Uncle."
The fourth madam spoke quickly: "Your fourth uncle is away all year round, homesick and can't return home. Being able to work in the Ganoderma lucidum hall for elder brother is a blessing he couldn't have dreamed of. Why bother?"
During the conversation, the carriage entered Qiao's house.
The fourth lady was helped out of the carriage by the maid, and when the fourth lady turned around to help Qiao Wei, she saw that Qiao Wei had jumped off the carriage neatly.
Not seeing each other for five years, they really look like two different people.
The fourth lady led Qiao Wei into the back house: "Your parents live in Lanyuan, and your embroidery building is in Lanyuan."
"Whose yard is this?" Qiao Wei asked, pointing to a simple and atmospheric courtyard.
The fourth lady paused: "This is the Fushouyuan, where Aunt Meng lives now."
The Erfang collapsed, and the title of Mrs. Meng was changed.
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows faintly: "Shouldn't my grandmother live in such a high-end place like Fushouyuan?"
The fourth lady said in embarrassment: "Mother lived there originally, and mother... After leaving Qiao's house, Aunt Meng moved in."
Qiao Wei was already in a bad mood, and this Meng family was hitting her gunpoint: "An aunt has the nerve to occupy my grandmother's yard? Let her move out."
The fourth lady winked at the accompanying maid.
The maid quickly entered the room, and soon there was arguing and cursing in the room, followed by the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground.
The maid covered her swollen face and ran out.
Qiao Wei's eyes turned cold, and she strode into the courtyard, opened the curtain, stepped forward a few steps, looked at Meng Shi who had just fired, and said bluntly, "Who hit it?"
"Me!" Mother Xue said.
Qiao Wei kicked her out of the room.
Meng Shi was frightened by the sudden battle: "You, you, what are you doing?"
Qiao Wei said coldly: "You can control what I do? This is my grandmother's yard, you are not qualified to live in it! Sensible, hurry up and get back to your original yard! Otherwise, get out of Qiao's house, Go find your Lord Hou's son!"
Meng Shi became angry from embarrassment: "You, you, are you still being unreasonable? Your father is my grandmother!"
"My father was raised by your milk, and I am not!" Originally, because she had nursed Qiao Zheng for a few days, Qiao Wei didn't want to make too much trouble with her, because she was afraid that Qiao Zheng would still feel bad for this nurse. There is a trace of emotion, but ever since she learned that her own grandmother died in the nunnery, she has no sympathy or fear for this so-called Meng family!
Why can this little concubine eat and drink at Qiao's house when her own grandmother spent her final years in desolation
"You didn't hear what I said, did you?" Qiao Wei grabbed her skirt, dragged her out of the yard without hesitation, and threw her on the ground, "Get lost!"
Meng Shi was so frightened that she didn't dare to accept the burden, so she ran back to the original yard with the help of her maid.
The Fourth Madam noticed that Qiao Wei's anger was unusually high today, but she didn't dare to ask why, so she just ordered the personal maid to take out Meng's things, clean up the yard, and put the old lady's things.
"Who else lives in a yard that shouldn't be?" Qiao Wei said lightly.
The fourth wife said: "The main courtyard of the second room was originally the courtyard of the elder brother. Later, the elder brother specially built a orchid garden for the elder sister, and then moved out of the main courtyard."
Qiao Wei didn't speak, her face was frighteningly cold.
The Fourth Madam hurriedly ordered the servant girl: "Go, take out the things in the main courtyard."
"Yes!" The maid answered.
Qiao Wei went to Lanyuan.
Lanyuan has been in disrepair for a long time, and the front yard is full of weeds. Although the fourth wife ordered the mother-in-law to clean it up in the past few days, at a glance, it is bare and inexplicably desolate.
Qiao Wei stared and said: "There is no need to make major changes, just repair it to what it was before."
The fourth lady nodded: "Alright."
The fourth wife stayed with Qiao Wei for dinner, but Qiao Wei refused. It was getting late, if she didn't leave, once the city gate was closed, she would not be able to go back.
Qiao Wei got into the carriage prepared by the fourth lady, and walked out of Qiao's house.
Thinking of the two children, Qiao Wei asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the candied haws shop where she often ate.
When I got to the shop, I saw a familiar figure unexpectedly.
"How much is this?" A girl in a white dress asked. This girl is very pretty, with a delicate oval face, fair complexion, phoenix eyes, red lips and white teeth, and an inexplicable aura exuding her whole body.
The boss glanced at the man beside her and said with a smile, "I'm a regular customer, this is for you!"
"Why is this so embarrassing?" The girl asked for money.
The man gave the boss a silver nude: "You don't need to look for it."
Qiao Wei walked over nonchalantly: "Master Ming is really generous, he is a silver naked as soon as he makes a move."
The girl looked at Mingxiu, then at Qiao Wei: "Brother, who is she?"
brother
Ah, the legendary little junior sister.
Qiao Wei's sharp eyes fell on the two of them: "Isn't it too stingy to just eat a candied haws when I take my junior sister shopping?"
The girl smiled sweetly. When she smiled, she had two dimples on her cheeks, which was very cute: "I just like eating candied haws. I asked my senior brother to bring me here! Are you my senior brother's friend? My name is Xiaoyue, and I am Suxin A disciple of the sect, my father is the suzerain of the Suxin sect, who are you?"
Children of the rivers and lakes, no wonder they are so informal, the daughter of a family would not show their faces outside with a man.
Qiao Wei smiled lightly and said, "I'm a countryman, so I won't tarnish Miss Xiaoyue's ears with my humble name."
The girl said innocently: "Actually, it's nothing. My grandfather always said that I'm from the country."
"Your grandfather?" Qiao Wei said casually.
"Well, my grandfather is the grand master of the court. He always said that my mother married a countryman, and the children my mother gave birth to are also countrymen." She was talking about her grandfather, but her eyes were full of admiration for him. Feelings.
What Qiao Wei thought was that this little girl in the world actually had a background in the imperial court!
The girl said familiarly: "I came back this time to celebrate my grandfather's birthday. You are my senior brother's friend... I haven't met my senior brother's friend yet, so you can come too!"
Without waiting for Qiao Wei to speak, Ji Mingxiu said calmly: "Miss Qiao is busy with business and has no time for a clone, I think it's better to forget it."
Qiao Wei squinted at him, and sent him a knife as if she didn't want money.
The girl sighed regretfully: "That's right, but this is my first time going down the mountain, and I also want to meet my brother's friends."
"Don't you want to eat tofu flower?" Ji Mingxiu changed the subject.
The girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately forgot about finding friends, and took Ji Mingxiu's arm: "Where should we go to eat?"
Qiao Wei looked at the hand on Mingxiu's arm, and really wanted to chop it off!
