After a while, the nurse came again and said, "The fifth young master has sent Imperial Doctor Yao out." ”Zheng Qingchuan hurriedly walked to the outer courtyard.She met Su Mu in the outer courtyard who came back from the gate.Zheng Qingchuan got straight to the point: "How is the situation" Su Mu was quite calm, but he didn't smile: "Go to the study and say." ”They went into the study of the outer courtyard, and there were no idlers.Su Mu said: "I can't judge until Uncle Tang wakes up."
I was fed a soothing soup just now, and I may sleep until tomorrow morning.I asked Master Du to bring a few servants to help guard the east courtyard, and four mothers-in-law were arranged to guard the door at the gate of the courtyard. ”Su Mu didn't look tired, but his eyes were deep.Zheng Qingchuan asked realistically: "Do you want to continue to hide it from your grandmother" Su Mu nodded.Old Madam Su doesn't know for the time being.The saddest person now is probably the Tong family.Zheng Qingchuan asked: "Do you want to send someone to accompany Aunt Tang" Su Mu stretched out his hand to stroke her black hair: "It has been arranged." ”Zheng Qingchuan: "What about the Hong family and Su Liang" Su Mu: "I sent a letter just now." ”As expected, Su Liang came quickly, and the third and fourth masters of the Hong family, the second young master of the Hong family, Hong Zhengchang, and Hong Zhengchang's wife Fu."
Why is this happening" Su Liang asked in grief, and couldn't wait to hear the answer, so he ran to the East Cross Courtyard to see Tong.Because he was afraid of disturbing Mrs.
Su, Su Mu left the rest of the guests in the outer courtyard.Su Mu objectively and concisely described what happened.After listening, the fourth master of the Hong family said: "Listen to the imperial doctor" In the face of illness, no matter how many words he said, he seemed pale and weak.The third master of the Hong family added: "Let's make a few more posts later, and invite a few more doctors to take a look tomorrow." ”The men gathered in the study, and Zheng Qingchuan accompanied his second cousin-in-law Fu Shi to drink tea in the small flower hall next door.The second cousin-in-law said: "My sister-in-law has been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet."
Qiqi, why don't you accompany me to have a look" Zheng Qingchuan hesitated for a moment and shook his head, the reason being: "The eldest cousin and aunt may have to talk privately for a while." ”The second cousin-in-law touched the teacup and compromised: "Yes." ”The two have different thoughts, and the topic is very dull, but it is difficult for them to say anything other than this topic, after all, this is a top priority.When it was dusk, Mama Yun helped Su Liang back.Su Liang's eyes were very red, but she didn't seem to be able to shed tears anymore, and said dejectedly: "Please cousin take care of my father and mother more." ”Su Mu replied: "Definitely" The second cousin-in-law Fu Shi interjected: "Please ask the imperial doctor and the medicine matter, the Hong family will help."
Sister-in-law, don't worry. ”The tone is caring.Su Liang glanced at Fu Shi, pursed her lips, and silently clenched her fists.Su Liang thought to herself: You want to see my jokes, let's go and see that Su Liang and Fu's concubines have a fight in private, but they are very harmonious on the surface, and the mask is so well worn that outsiders generally don't know the intrigue between them.After sending off the guests, Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan went to say goodnight to Mrs.
Su, and then went back to the West Cross Courtyard.After dinner, when Zheng Qingchuan was bathing, Chi Yue asked worriedly: "What if Mrs.
Yi leaks the news to the old lady" In the eyes of the maids of the Su family, the aunt of the Su family has always been the one who likes to make trouble.Zheng Qingchuan thought about it seriously and said, "Unless she is a stupid person and she deliberately wants to make her grandmother sick with anger." ”The reason why the Su family's aunt's family can live in this house is entirely because Mrs.
Su is alive.They are like vines wrapped around trees, and Old Lady Su is the tree that their family relies on.If the tree falls, the Su family's aunt and family may not be able to live in the capital.Instead of gloating and watching jokes, there is finally something more important for her to be afraid of.Zheng Qingchuan is worried: It is more likely that the Tong family inadvertently revealed the stuffing, and now the Tong family and Su Dong are sick together, if the Tong family does not show up for a long time, Mrs.
Su will inevitably take the initiative to visit the Tong family.Zheng Qingchuan came out of the bathtub, put on his bedclothes, and went back to the east room.The nurse said, "The fifth young master is still in the small study. ”Zheng Qingchuan had a hunch that Su Mu would stay late in the small study, she felt very tired today, so she didn't wait for him, and went to bed first.In the middle of the night, a howl like a wolf woke Zheng Qingchuan awake, and her eyes suddenly widened.The howls rang out one after the other, making the hairs stand on end in the night.Su Mu next to him sat up first, quickly lifted the quilt and went to the ground, and bent down to help Zheng Qingchuan cover the quilt, and said, "I'll take a look." ”Su Mu's steps were fast, and Zheng Qingchuan hurriedly put on his coat and got out of bed.The nurse and Chi Yue also woke up, and lit a few more lights in the hall, and Chi Yue shivered with fright.The nurse's face turned pale and said, "Fifth young lady, this voice sounds like the old man in the East Cross Courtyard." ”It seems that it is really crazy.The people of the Su family were probably woken up, Zheng Qingchuan heard the sound of opening the door many times, and the sound of footsteps and discussions was particularly clear in the middle of the night.The environment was unstable and the mood was not restless, and they stayed awake until dawn.Then, Mama Yun ran to deliver the first-hand news: "The old lady also knows that she is crying sadly As for the old man in the East Cross Courtyard, she was afraid that he would hit the wall again, so she could only tie him up with a rope." ”Chi Yue asked with a lot of mouth: "It's already like this, the official can't do it, do you want to go back to your hometown in Suzhou" If you continue to stay here and shout like this in the middle of the night every day, won't everyone be frightened every day Mama Yun looked at Chi Yue and sighed hopelessly.The nurse was silent, and her eyes were gloomy.There are still old and frail elders in my hometown, and so many proud relatives, if Su Dong goes back like this, the elders may not be able to stand it, besides, there are so many imperial doctors in the capital, and there are so many imperial doctors in the capital to help treat diseases, Suzhou does not have this convenience, for this, Su Liang will definitely desperately leave his parents in the capital.The bad news was sent to Hong's house in the morning.However, something unexpected happened, Su Liang did not agree to leave Su Dong in the capital, and asked to send his parents back to his hometown as soon as possible before the news leaked.In his hometown, Su Dong also has two biological sons, both of whom are already married.Imperial Physician Yao was going to be on duty in the palace today, and he lacked skills, so Imperial Physician Li and another imperial physician surnamed Han came to Su's house and were taken to the East Cross Courtyard by Su Mu.Zheng Qingchuan was hungry and looked weakly at Su Liang, who was looking nervous and panicked in front of him.Su Liang had already met with the Tong family just now, and knew the situation, I was afraid that there was a little luck yesterday, but today I found that the situation was so bad, and it was already messed up.She thought of herself first, was a little selfish, and considered her situation in the circle of ladies in the capital.There is a crazy father, others will say: "The father of the eldest young lady of the Hong family is a madman", and then, others may look at her whole family with a kind of crazy eyes, and even look at her and feel that it is abnormal, and her son will also be affected.Su Liang covered her face with her hands and covered her eyes, feeling very painful at this time, very painful Before yesterday, she was still desperately helping her father find an official, but now everything is in vain.Zheng Qingchuan thought to himself: The matter has come to this, and it is important to take care of the patient.She didn't accompany Su Liang anymore, and ordered a few maids to continue to accompany her in the small flower hall, she went to Su Mu's outer courtyard study, and simply solved the breakfast, I didn't know the taste of food, but at least I was no longer hungry and had the strength to deal with other things.First find Mama Yun and a few housekeepers, and ask them to recommend a few powerful mothers-in-law.Because the maids will definitely not be able to control in the East Cross Courtyard, they will only be beaten.The housekeeper's lady led six stout mothers-in-law to show Zheng Qingchuan.Zheng Qingchuan looked at it in person and asked: "Give you three times your salary, let you be an errand in the East Cross Courtyard, are you willing" The mothers-in-law looked at each other, and four of them answered "yes", two twisted and pinched, but they didn't dare to refuse in person, anyway, they meant that they were unwilling.There is an unfounded rumor among the people: if you live with a madman, you will be infected and you will go crazy.Zheng Qingchuan didn't persuade a word, and directly ordered the two unwilling mothers-in-law to go back and let the housekeeper's lady recommend a few more people.Under the temptation of three times the salary, I finally got together eight mothers-in-law.Zheng Qingchuan ordered the second thing: "You are divided into two teams, one team is responsible for the day, and the other team is responsible for the night. ”The mothers-in-law nodded firmly in agreement.After ordering this, she then instructed the maid who specially delivered the meal, and then the mother-in-law who guarded the door.The main courtyard is where Mrs.
Su lives, the corner gate of the main courtyard leads to the outer courtyard, the corner gate of the main courtyard leads to the west across the courtyard, and the corner gate of the main courtyard leads to the east across the courtyard, a total of three doors, all of which are very important, each corner gate is assigned two mothers-in-law to guard during the day, and at night, the door is locked directly.The number of servants in the house is not unlimited, and the mothers-in-law are all busy, and their original errands fall to the maids, and the maids don't want to be idle.So, there was a complaint in the house.Zheng Qingchuan instructed Mama Yun again: "Add four sets of ready-made clothes, shoes and socks to everyone in the family a year, if someone is sick, no matter who it is, you must help as soon as possible to invite a good doctor to come to each meal to have two meat dishes, no deduction is allowed, if the amount of dishes given by the big kitchen is not enough, the big kitchen will be severely punished again, and at the end of each month, I will personally send a reward, and the amount of the reward is double the salary."
Salary in the middle of the month, reward money at the end of the month If things are not done well, then directly replace people to do it, there must be many people who can work and are willing to work on the grange" This time, Zheng Qingchuan can be described as vigorous and resolute.Many of the maids of the Su family were shocked, and the complaints almost disappeared.At the same time, many people began to make small calculations in their hearts, crackling, thinking, their own wages plus rewards, how much money can they have in a month, the happiest is the eight mothers-in-law sent to the East Cross Courtyard, one by one personally asked Mama Yun that they took three times the salary, whether the reward was also three times the salary, whether it added up to six times Mama Yun gave a positive answer, and then the eight mothers-in-law were like grabbing the iron rice bowl, desperately hugging this rice bowl, for fear that others would come to grab it.After Su Mu heard the news, he praised Zheng Qingchuan."
Ah Qi, take care of the house very well" Zheng Qingchuan's happy result was to hug him.After hugging, she saw that he had two panda eyes, and finally he was also tired, hey, there is no iron beating person in this world to forcibly pull Su Mu's back clothes first, pull him shorter, and then press Su Mu's shoulders and let him sit down to eat, Zheng Qingchuan is like a domineering housekeeper, and said domineeringly: "Leave my grandmother to me with confidence, you take care of others, I take care of you, you have to be obedient, eat well and lose weight, otherwise, I will beat my buttocks at night" Su Mu couldn't cry and laugh
