The morning light shone into his eyes, Zheng Qingchuan turned to the left, found that the pillow in front of him was empty, and turned over to the right, but still found that there were no figures of Ah Qing and Ah Yun on the pillow.She sat up in shock, thinking that it was very late, and shouted anxiously: "Nurse Chi Yue" Chi Yue hurriedly ran into the east room and asked: "Fifth young lady, what's wrong" Zheng Qingchuan asked in wonder: "Why don't you wake me up Ah Qing and Ah Yun" Chi Yue walked to the bed, handed the clothes to Zheng Qingchuan, and said with a smile: "It's still early, the eldest girl and the second girl woke up before dawn, and they are watering the saplings in the yard" Zheng Qingchuan rubbed his eyes, looked at the window, and thought: It's late spring, the sky is early, Ah Qing and Ah Yun If they are too active in watering, Will it drown the little sapling, she hurriedly put on her clothes, climbed out of bed, washed and ran outside."
Qiqi" Ah Qing turned her head and called her, her little face smiled very brightly in the morning light, her voice was loud, she was still holding a water scoop in her hand, and there was a big bucket beside her.Ah Yun also held the water scoop.The nurse was accompanying them, smiling.Zheng Qingchuan observed it and asked curiously: "Did it rain last night" Why did the ground of the whole yard get wet The nurse smiled: "It didn't rain" Ah Qing said: "Feed the tree water" After speaking, he poured another scoop of water and said: "Cucumber, melon, go and bring a bucket of water again" Zheng Qingchuan said: "Drink too much water, it will be uncomfortable" Zheng Qingchuan thought that Ah Qing did not understand the growth of plants, but Ah Qing had a reason: "The tree has many roots, the roots grow very long, and you must water here and there, otherwise some roots will not be able to drink water" This reason is so sufficient, Zheng Qingchuan almost fell for it, but, looking at the wet yard, she couldn't cry or laugh a little, and finally laughed, and said: "I have poured enough water today, let's water it tomorrow" Ah Qing and Ah Yun were very satisfied with the fruits of their labor in the morning, and handed the water scoop to the maid with confidence, and at the same time said: "Come and feed water at noon, three meals a day" "Xiaoshu has a small appetite, only one meal a day is enough" Zheng Qingchuan took their hands, and the three of them went to Mrs.
Su to ask for peace while discussing.After breakfast, Mama Yun hurriedly came to tell her: "The relatives who received the venison yesterday have sent back gifts" Su Liang happened to be sitting in Zheng Qingchuan's house, and she was curious, so she asked casually: "What did you reply" Mama Yun handed over the gift list with a smile.However, Su Liang probably wanted to avoid the suspicion of Yue Ling's substitution, so she didn't reach out to pick it up, but watched Zheng Qingchuan take it.Zheng Qingchuan glanced at it quickly, put it on the table, and Su Liang took it to look at it.The Qin family sent back two jars of bayberry wine, a basket of small cherries, and two black chickens.Doctor Yao's family sent back high-quality bird's nest and a prepared herbal tea medicine bag.Doctor Li's family sent back a small basket of Hetian jade dates and Xiangfei red raisins.The return gift from the fourth master of the Zheng family was home-made pastries.Su Liang looked at it for a while, saw the difference, and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled.Zheng Qingchuan instructed: "Put the herbal tea medicine bag into the warehouse, and then take it out and use it in the summer."
Divide the bird's nest into three portions, one for the grandmother and one for each of the two cousins.Give the bayberry wine to Master Du.Take one-third of the cherries, Hetian jade dates, and raisins to the four little servants of the fifth young master and Master Du, take one-third and send them to the East Cross Courtyard, and send the rest to the grandmother.Give the pastries to the maids, mothers-in-law and servants" Ah Yun pouted: "Qiqi didn't give it to me" The expression was annoyed that others had, she and Ah Qing did not suffer from widowhood, but suffered unevenly Zheng Qingchuan and her affectionately put their foreheads on their foreheads, and said with a smile: "Let's go to my grandmother's place to eat" In fact, the snacks that Su Mu brought into the West Cross Courtyard every day were no worse than the return gifts sent by relatives, so Zheng Qingchuan was not impressed by those things.After listening to the explanation, Ah Yun smiled and nodded in agreement, in fact, she is very good at talking.After hearing this, Mama Yun was stunned for a moment, because every time the Fifth Young Lady distributed something, she would not forget the four little maids and Master Du beside the Fifth Young Master, is this considered to buy people's hearts, I didn't expect that the Fifth Young Lady was young, so she thought that she would start with the people around the Fifth Young Master in the future, so as to inquire about the whereabouts of the Fifth Young Master, could it be that Grandma Jiang taught the Fifth Young Master to do this in private Mama Yun went to distribute things with a stomach full of suspicion.Su Liangxiu asked angrily: "Why don't you send things to the third uncle and third aunt" It may be because Zheng Qingchuan is younger than her, so she still treats Zheng Qingchuan as a child who can't hide her words, so she asks directly.Zheng Qingchuan smiled and said: "They are also the same as us, go to eat at my grandmother's place, and I don't have anything to do with Ah Qing and Ah Yun" Ah Qing and Ah Yun nodded in agreement Su Liang's next words seemed to be blocked, and it was not good to say anything more, but they did not agree with Zheng Qingchuan's words in their hearts, and felt that Zheng Qingchuan was quibbling.The eldest aunt of the Su family went to the East Cross Courtyard to complain, saying that Su Mu was mean and stingy to her family, Su Liang heard it in her ears and remembered it in her heart, and she has been observing the people of the Su family with her eyes.Su Liang learned double-sided embroidery with Xiuqiao in Zheng Qingchuan's house for a morning, during which Ah Qing, Ah Yun and Zheng Qingchuan chased and ran in the house, chasing and laughing, a little noisy, but she was embarrassed to complain and barely endured.After lunch, Su Liang didn't come to the West Cross Courtyard.But Tong and Hai happily brought things to thank Zheng Qingchuan, because Zheng Qingchuan gave them bird's nest and snacks in the morning.The key to giving gifts to other people's hearts is to see what others lack and need.Tong's husband Su Dong and Hai's husband Su Jing are about to take the national spring exam, and it is the time when they need to replenish their bodies, so they need bird's nest, and they are very happy after getting bird's nest.After Tong and Hai left, Zheng Qingchuan accompanied Ah Qing and Ah Yun to play chess pieces for a while, the level of the three people is not high, winning or losing is about the same, winning or losing in the master is about the same, in the eyes of the master, they are probably three stinky chess baskets.However, they don't dislike each other.When Zheng Qingchuan hesitated with the chess pieces, Ah Qing or Ah Yun would interject without hesitation, shouting: "Qiqi won't be wrong to go here" Zheng Qingchuan was in a very good mood Suddenly, Mama Yun walked in with a letter and said with a smile: "Fifth Young Lady, the letter sent to you by the eldest girl of the Hong family, just arrived" Ah Qing and Ah Yun both raised their little faces, their eyes were bright, they looked at the thick letter curiously, and asked: "Did the big sister write me a letter" Mama Yun bent her eyebrows and smiled warmly: "There is no letter from you this time." ”Zheng Qingchuan took the letter, and Ah Qing and Ah Yun also squeezed their little heads over, and they also wanted to read it.Zheng Qingchuan took the letter and walked to the east room before opening it.After reading the letter, Zheng Qingchuan's expression was very solemn, and his gaze became dark.Hong Yuejing, the eldest girl of the Hong family, said in the letter: "Qiqi, because there are some things you don't know, I am afraid that you will be confused in front of the Su family and Su Mu, so I decided to do you a small favor by the way and give you a reminder, no matter how Su Mu doesn't treat his uncle and aunt, you can't persuade him, let alone sympathize with those two people who deserve it, I am a little older than Su Mu, so I probably know everything about Su Mu, and I am not saying empty words."
After Su Mu's father accidentally fell off a horse, Su Mu's mother was pregnant with a posthumous son, and then the old lady of the Su family took Su Mu's uncle and aunt into Beijing, only two days later, the aunt met the maid who delivered chicken soup on the road, so she rudely grabbed the food box, saying that she sent it to Su Mu's mother, she went to visit Su Mu's mother, Su Mu's mother drank chicken soup, and the blood collapsed that night. ”After the accident, the Hong family wanted to interrogate the eldest aunt, and the eldest uncle took a rope to hang himself and threatened the Hong family, and Mrs.
Su cried and pleaded with her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law.The Hong family found five imperial doctors to find out what medicine was given in the chicken soup.The eldest aunt had a weak heart, and after Su Mu's mother had an accident, she took advantage of the chaos to take the bowl away.After interrogating all the servants of the Su family, no evidence was found that she bought medicine, but her maid said that she had boiled the bowl with boiling water more than a dozen times, which was simply Sima Zhao's heart. ”So, on the surface, the truth is unknown, but the Hong family suspects that she has searched the house where she brought the medicine from Suzhou, but she has not found it.At that time, the Hong family was determined to dig three feet into the ground, but at that time, the situation in the court was unstable, my grandfather was impeached by the imperial history, and there was a dispute between friends in the court. ”"The Hong family was anxious at that time, worrying about their grandfather every day, and it happened that two officials in the capital were sentenced to exile for the whole family, and the people were panicked, and the Hong family began to plan a way back for their own family, and neglected the affairs of the Su family.Su Mu sent Ah Qing and Ah Yun to the Hong family, and he has been checking on the eldest aunt in the past few years.In this matter, don't ask Su Mu casually, just understand it in your heart, the most important thing is that you must not sympathize with people who should not be sympathized, do not object to Su Mu's attitude, you are Su Mu's wife, although you are still young, but you have to stand on the same position as Su Mu.Having said so much, it's a small favor for you, next time if I ask you about getting married, you are not allowed to be sloppy, Qiqi, I like you, I think you are very sensible, not a child who can only eat, drink and have fun.When you're done reading the letter, remember to burn it down. ”Ah Qing and Ah Yun finished playing a game of chess, ran into the east room, looked at it, and wondered: "Qiqi burned the letter, how did he burn the letter" Zheng Qingchuan was so interrupted that she almost burned her hands, and her hands were hot, she quickly let go of her fingers, and a few pieces of paper that were on fire fell lightly to the ground and turned into ashes in the dazzling flames.Looking at Ah Qing and Ah Yun's big clear eyes, Zheng Qingchuan's own eyes were a little sour and hot."
It's okay, the eldest sister told me the secret in the letter, and she didn't want others to know the secret, so after reading it, she burned the letter to ashes."
Zheng Qingchuan explained, but his voice was a little hoarse.A Qing pouted: "I haven't seen it yet, why did you burn it" Zheng Qingchuan patted her little shoulder, and said briskly: "I'll tell you, okay" ------ digression------ Good night, see you tomorrow:
