In the early morning, the old man sat up from the bed in a daze.
Old Xu came over to wait for him to wash, and asked softly, "Master didn't sleep well?"
The old man waved his hand and didn't want to mention it. Ever since Shi Qing was divorced, he seemed to be having a nightmare from which he could not wake up.
Not to mention the fact that the Shi family became a laughing stock in the capital, even Shi Qing himself changed his personality accordingly.
In the past, he always complained that when he was clear-mouthed and stupid, he was too honest and silent. How could such a child have a future. But now when he said a word, there were ten sentences waiting to argue with him, every sentence pierced her heart, no matter how choked she would come.
It's only been a few days, and it feels like a long time at home has passed for a few years. As long as he thought that Shi Qing might be caught by something, he couldn't even close his eyes at night, let alone sleep well.
The old man didn't feel much at first, and he was preoccupied, so the old man almost kept his eyes open and waited for the dawn.
Fortunately, I went to Miaoyin Mountain yesterday afternoon and sincerely asked for the talisman, and someone secretly put it under Shiqing's pillow. Whether the Shi family can be changed back to its original state depends entirely on last night and this morning.
The old man sat on the edge of the bed with his clothes on, and asked Old Xu, "Is there any movement from Shiqing?"
"I sent someone to watch it early in the morning." Old Xu handed the old man a towel soaked in warm water. "It's still late in the yard over there. Our people can't get in, and we can't get things out."
As for the talisman, if there is a problem with the timing, the talisman paper will be effective, and the bright yellow and fresh paper will eventually become dry and curled, which means that the expulsion is successful. If the talisman paper remains unchanged, it means that the time is normal.
After wiping his face, the old man handed the towel to Lao Xu, reached out and took the crutch to lean on, as if he had something in his hand to feel confident.
He closed his eyes, and begged in his heart for the blessing of Mistress Miaoyinshan, let the original Shiqing come back, and let everything in the Shi family return to normal.
"Grandpa, Your Majesty is here to visit you." Jinzhan stood at the door and passed on a message.
"Master's is here?" The old man finally showed some relief on his face.
If you want to talk about your favorite son-in-law among the three daughters, then you have to talk about the husband married by the eldest Shi Rong.
This was chosen by him personally, no matter in terms of family background or appearance and character, it was particularly in line with his wishes.
"I'm going out now."
As soon as the old man packed up and came out, the eldest Shi Rong's husband, Mrs. Zhang, hurried up to meet him, took Lao Xu's place and stretched out his hand to support the old man's arm.
Mrs. Zhang is in her forties this year, with a thin figure. Compared with Mrs. Li of the third family, her appearance is like a chrysanthemum meeting a peony. She is plain and simple, not as young as the other party. But it seems to be dutiful and filial, the most pleasing.
No, as soon as Mrs. Zhang supported the old man, she began to say, "Father, I heard that Xi'er said that you were not feeling well yesterday. I was really worried about it. I came here in a hurry this morning. I hope I didn't disturb your rest."
"What are you talking about, I wish you would come here every day." The old man smiled and patted the back of Mrs. Zhang's hand, telling Lao Xu to quickly serve tea and fruit cakes.
Shi Xi also came. He was outside just now, but now he entered the house when he saw the old man coming out, and shouted crisply and sweetly, "Grandpa."
"Come, come, come to grandpa." The old man was in an unprecedentedly good mood, as if the grievance and dissatisfaction he had received from Li Shi and Shi Qing could be filled by Zhang Shi and Shi Xi.
If you want him to say, Shi Qing is not as good as Shi Xi, what good would it do if a woman's parents are as flamboyant as her father, but Shi likes it, she looks like her mother, she looks like a child of the old Shi family.
"Thanks to your father and daughter's concern, my old bones are recovering."
Mrs. Zhang smiled more filially, "I'm relieved if you are good."
At this time, Old Xu sent the servant who was watching the movement in Shiqing Courtyard to come in and whisper in his ear. After hearing this, Old Xu was slightly stunned.
He waved people to go down, bent down beside the old man and whispered, "Little master, everything is as usual, she went to touch the coffin in her yard as usual after getting up in the morning, and then sent Ye He out to nowhere. It's no different than the last few days."
What the old man is most afraid of is that there is no difference.
He would rather that Shiqing was possessed by something dirty, and he couldn't accept that her temperament changed drastically, and she would be so irritating in the future.
Mrs. Zhang drank tea quietly, pretending not to notice the movements of the master and servant next to her. Some things are difficult for him to inquire about, but Shi Xi can ask them.
He winked at his daughter, and Shi Xi immediately stepped forward to ask the old man concerned, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"
The old man's face was ugly, and his fingers clenched his cane tightly.
Old Xu looked embarrassed, and hesitantly told Shi Xi Zhang the whole story, "Now the talisman paper is placed under the little master's pillow. We don't know what the result will be, and our people dare not go there to get it."
Last night, I had to push people away before I went in, but today it would be abrupt to pass by rashly during the day.
Shi Xi was given a hard time by Shi Qing yesterday, holding his breath in his heart, when he heard that Shi Qing could be cleaned up, he immediately volunteered, "It's not difficult, I just go and get it. Shi Qing and I are relatives and sisters, I can always go to her yard."
Shi Xi bit the word "pro" very hard.
Well, she said how her sister seemed to have changed her sex, and she suddenly had sex with her face to face. It turned out that there was another article.
Naturally, Shi Xi doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, she suspects that Shi Qing is pretending to be a ghost. If he catches her, we'll see how she cleans it up!
Didn't Shi Qing say that Baifu Taoist pretending to be a ghost is a liar? Her feelings are the same kind of thing herself.
Now that the imperial court has not assigned positions, if the emperor finds out that Tangtang Hua's house is disturbed by playing tricks at home, I don't know what he will think.
Shi Xi gave Mrs. Zhang a "sure to win" look.
"Father, don't worry, let Xi'er handle this matter." Mrs. Zhang understood, and personally brought hot tea to the old man.
After Shi Xi left, Mrs. Zhang sat down with the old man and continued to chat.
Facing his satisfied son-in-law, the old man kept telling him how unfilial Shi Qing was, and how Mrs. Li hated him.
When mentioning the third child's family, the old man waved his hands again and again, "It's fine for Ju'er to marry an uneducated one, but now she is conniving Shi Qing to marry a businessman's son like her."
"Then Yun Zhi, what else can he do besides embroidering peonies? His Yun family in the south of the Yangtze River is no longer what it used to be, let alone the capital, which is a side branch that is 800 times farther away, our Shi family still needs an embroiderer?" The old man took a sip of tea. I couldn't drink any more, so I put down the teacup again.
Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and sipped her tea, her eyes flickering. He came here today not because of the old man, but because he heard that Shi Qing was going to marry Yun Zhi.
"Father, I see that you look haggard, why don't you go to our place to rest for a few days?" Mrs. Zhang smiled, "Although it is not as good as Sanmei's place, it is more important to be clean, and besides, Yanxin's husband is pregnant, so why don't you come over?" have a look?"
Shi Yanxin is Shi Rong's eldest daughter, and she is currently working as an editor at the Imperial Academy. Although it is a job with a lot of qualifications, she can barely support her family.
The eldest, Shi Rong, was not good at reading, but both daughters were taught well by the second, who was his wife. The eldest daughter took up an editorial job, and the second daughter just won a Jinshi after the year.
The old man asked in surprise, "Yes? When did it happen? Why didn't you send someone to tell me?"
Mrs. Zhang explained, "I only found out about it in the past two days. I didn't dare to speak out in less than three months. I was afraid of ruining my fortune. The child is filial and misses you, but he didn't come here because he was inconvenient. That's why I told you to go." Stay for a few days."
The old man nodded again and again, "Okay, okay."
After he finished speaking, he was ready to let Lao Xu pack his things, but then he thought of something and hesitated, "It's just a matter of time before Shi Qing wants to marry Yunzhi."
He is 100% dissatisfied with this marriage, but if there is a real wedding banquet, wouldn't he have to make a fuss about it at home and abroad? As for Shi Qing's own father, Li Shi, the old man never thought about him at all, he was something that was not on the table.
That's what Mrs. Zhang did, and said with hesitation on purpose, "It's really not possible. It's okay for me to help my third brother-in-law make arrangements."
Shi Rong has opened a small restaurant in the capital for the past few years. Recently, he wants to expand and buy a good piece of land, but he doesn't have enough money. The richest person in the Shi family is neither Zhang nor the old man, but low-key, honest and timid. Lee's.
Mrs. Li is the treasure of the Li family, as long as the treasures of the Li family are not packed in boxes, they are escorted by horse-drawn carriages during festivals.
Mrs. Li just passed her birthday, so she has a lot of spare money. At this time, help him organize Shi Qing's happy event, even if it leaks through the fingers, it is enough for Shi Rong to buy a good storefront.
If the old man buys it, it's really hard to get some money out of it, but if the old man is not at home, isn't it what he says
Li Shi's temperament has been tempered by the old man these years, and he can't say a word. When the time comes, it will not be what he says.
Zhang's calculations sounded loud, and he heard that his family was going to visit Yun's family to propose marriage in two days, so he came here at the right time, just to take advantage of this loophole.
"I'm sure I'll be at ease with you here," the old man thought it was a good idea. "It just so happens that I'm also at this age, so it's better to go to your place to spend the rest of my life for him to worry about these things."
It has been discussed here, and I will wait for Mrs. Li to come back and tell him.
Over there, Shi Xi has swaggered into Shi Qing's yard.
When the servant saw Shixi, he came over and bowed to her, "Little master just went out, I guess he went to the back kitchen, you..."
"I'll go in and wait for her." Shi Xi's eyes lit up, he waved his hand to let the servants go down, and stepped into Shi Qing's room by himself.
It's better if Shi Qing is not here, I can find the talisman paper by myself.
After waking up this morning, Shiqing asked Yehe to go to Changfu to spread the word that she was going to attend the spring banquet. After making arrangements, she and Mihe went to the back kitchen to get some fresh food.
In the past, she was afraid of trouble, and she basically ate whatever was in the mansion, even if the food tasted relatively bland, she never mentioned it.
The old flattering personality.
It's different now, my wife can eat whatever she wants.
The fresh melons and fruits ordered by the old man in the mansion, Shi Qing asked someone to squeeze the juice and drink it himself, "This fruit is so cold in such a cold day, it is not suitable for the elderly to eat."
Shi Qing drank the juice and said, "Just prepare more hot water for grandpa."
Not to mention, the juice is really delicious after squeezing.
Besides melons and fruits, she also felt that the cook in the old man's small kitchen made red bean cakes and planned to bring people to the big kitchen.
How old is the old man, why is he still eating alone? People who have studied don't even know how to be humble and share, and the books are all read in the stomach of a dog
She had just returned from eating here, and before she reached the door, Shi Qing caught a glimpse of someone rummaging through the window gaps in her room.
Depend on!
Shi Qing rolled up his sleeves on the spot.
Haven't played yet, have you? Didn't come in last time and didn't give up, came here to steal things again today
Mihe stretched out his hand to hold Shi Qing's arm, "Little master, I see how the person inside looks so much like your second sister."
Shi Qing stopped and looked inside carefully.
Who else could that person be if not Shi Xi
With a blank face, Mi He turned her head and asked Shi Qing in a low voice, "Little master, what do you think she is looking for?"
Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, and moved his fists and feet more than before, "Oh? I guess I'm looking for a fight."
Little ones, it's time to clear the door!
The author has something to say:
hours: little ones
Thug: In!
Hour: Pick up!
in the future
Yun Shaoxia: Is this a lot of money? (about to move)
