green bamboo dream

"That can't be helped, but I think she can't go very far with two legs, so I should send someone to inquire around the area slowly, and there should be some clues." Yu Zhu said helplessly, and now it can only be like this.

In the end, she couldn't help persuading her: "...you have done your best for Shuanghong. You have helped her so much, and you have already paid off your debt to her mother. There is no need to work yourself so hard. Don't you think so? Can you take care of her for the rest of your life?"

She had said these words to Ning Qiu more than once, but the effect was not so ideal. Yu Zhu wondered if she should do something...

After being out for too long, Yuzhu also missed brother Xi a little bit, so she got up to say goodbye without further delay.

Ning Qiu walked her to the door until the carriage disappeared around the corner of the street before turning around in awe.

The little maid named Zao'er who was answering just now hurriedly came up, with her head hanging down, looking pitiful.

"I'm not angry." Ning Qiu smiled, and stretched out his hand to grab Zao'er's shoulder, "It was my fault in the past that caused you to suffer so much."

Zao'er shook her head hastily, and argued: "It's none of your business..."

"Okay, how is Mrs. Wu doing now? Let's go and see her." Ning Qiu patted Zao'er's head and stopped her from talking.

It's my fault, I was really negligent before.

"En." Zao'er nodded vigorously, as long as Miss Shuanghong was in charge, their worries would be relieved.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps ahead.

Then Liu Ma ran over panting, and just stood still, she clutched her chest and said, "Miss Ning, go quickly...go and see, Miss Shuanghong is about to hang herself with a rope, and the servants stopped her." I can't stop it."

Ning Qiu and Zao'er looked at each other helplessly, and hurriedly followed...

When Yu Zhu returned to Cheng Guogong's mansion, Yu Bian greeted him as soon as he entered the Qingyu Courtyard.

"Ma'am, you are back!" Although she was a little anxious, she still did not forget to bow to Yu Zhu, "The old lady and Miss Nine are here, talking to the old man... the elder sister Wenyue who is next to the big grandma is here Yes, please go there when you come back."

"Old lady?" Yu Zhu raised her eyebrows, what is she doing here?

While muttering, he went back to the inner room and changed into a change of clothes, "... how is the old man, how has he improved today?"

It's better to keep warm and stay in bed for wind and cold, but you can't bother your mind for too long.

Yubian replied: "It's much better, I heard that I can get out of bed."

Yu Zhu nodded, and asked about brother Xi's situation worriedly. After learning that everything was fine, she led the maidservant out of the house.

The old lady has been very quiet for a few days since Cheng Xunxun took action last time, and she never came to the door, but today the sun has risen from the latrine.

But what is certain is that she must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and she doesn't blame herself for thinking badly about her heart. She is really in this position, and she can't do it without a little more heart.

Thinking about it this way, it is really inappropriate for Ning Qiu to marry the current Lu Haoran. Lu Haoran has already stepped into the officialdom, and now he is valued by the emperor. It is indispensable.

Ning Qiu has a bright temper and a kind heart. She doesn't like and doesn't like to speculate and calculate things secretly.

It seems that Ning Qiu is simple and self-aware... If that Guirong talent is really as good as what he heard, it would be a good home for her!

The moment of contemplation had come, Hua Ruo reminded her to pay attention to the stone steps under her feet, and another little maid stepped forward to pull up the door curtain with silk thread engraved in Xiang color.

The charcoal fire in the room was burning very vigorously, and there was a faint smell of medicine. The old man looked much better, and he was no longer as pale and haggard as before... He was wearing a thick blue-colored collar and wide-sleeved robe, sitting in the On the Arhat bed covered with a pale leather mattress, he was talking to the old lady, while Ji Shi led the maidservants to wait on him.

Standing next to her was a bright girl with almond eyes and peach cheeks, wearing a long jacket with autumn fragrance and green embroidered flowers.

Seeing Yu Zhu coming in, everyone standing there hurriedly saluted.

After meeting each other, Yu Zhu smiled and said, "I'm late, don't blame me for being negligent, auntie."

After not seeing each other for a few days, the old lady became a bit old again. Hearing what Yuzhu said, she looked compassionately and said softly, "It's okay, there's nothing urgent."

Yu Zhu smiled and walked over to Ji's side without making a sound.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, although I can't reach that long, it's not useless. Brother Ming just do his best, and I will always take care of him." The old man's face showed a trace of sincerity. With a smile, he obviously still respects this sister-in-law.

The old lady nodded excitedly, and said with tears in her eyes, "Sister-in-law knows you're not mistaken... Your elder brother is also cruel, so he let go of his behavior, but it's good for us to be orphans and widows... Thanks to the brotherhood of the second younger brother who cares about his brotherhood, otherwise there would be no future among so many juniors, and I would not be ashamed to see the master when I come underground..."

Haitang hurriedly approached cautiously, holding a handkerchief to help the old lady wipe away her tears, her eye circles were also red, adding a bit of delicacy.

The old man also sighed for a long time, and persuaded: "Don't worry, I will never wrong you. The ancestors rule that although the family is separated, you can't live together, but the elder brother is gone. As a younger brother, I can't watch you suffer .”

After he made a promise, he asked again: "Brother Ming put it outside, the joints have been dredged, do you want me to do some more?"

"Second brother, don't worry about it, everything is fine." The old lady had already eased her emotions, she frowned slightly, and waved her hand: "I'm helping him pack his luggage recently, and training the servants who are going to take away... After doing things, my heart is slightly relieved."

"That's exactly what it should be." The old man agreed with his eyes, his face softened, and he smiled and invited the old lady to have some tea.

Ji guessed that the tea was getting cold, so she didn't need a maid, so she went down to change the tea by herself.

Yu Zhu hurriedly followed out.

As soon as they turned around, the smiles on both of their faces faded, and they didn't bother to maintain it anymore.

"What are you doing so sincerely..." Yu Zhu couldn't help pulling Ji's back, "You are busy taking care of Brother Yi every day, so you must be exhausted, why do you have to do such trivial things yourself? "

Ever since he found out that Cheng Siyi was addicted to drugs, he never let him go out, and stayed in his room to take medicine every day.His addiction is not deep yet, as long as he can get over it, he can quit.

But to put it simply, it is not so easy inside.

First of all, Cheng Siyi's temper became very bad-after the addiction came up, he went to Hongfu Tower like crazy, and the Ji family would definitely not let him go, so he stabbed a hornet's nest... At that time, Cheng Siyi's violent temper often made him feel angry. He lost his mind, he didn't have any scruples about Ji's family, he even got to the point of cursing and hitting when he stretched out his hand.

Every time I feed him medicine, it's like a scuffle, unless Cheng Siyi occasionally slows down and comes to his senses...

Having to hide from the old man and take care of Cheng Siyi and the children, the Ji family is exhausted.

In fact, according to Yuzhu's mind, tying Cheng Siyi up would save a lot of inconvenience - using loose cloth strips would not hurt him, and it would save a lot of effort.

But she absolutely can't say this, and the Ji family won't agree to it, which is inappropriate.

Ji took out the tea ball and put it into the cup, poured hot water slowly, and looked at Yu Zhu gratefully, "Second Aunt, it's okay, compared to my fault, what is this tiredness?"

Yu Zhu silently took the small black pear wood tea tray and put it on the table, sighing in her heart, Ji Shi has always had an idea that if she hadn't persuaded Cheng Siyi to go out on errands, he wouldn't have run into those cronies, and wouldn't have been hurt by them. catastrophe...

"Look at you, why are you still saying such things at this time!" The tea had already been filled, but Yuzhu held Ji's hand, "Even if Brother Yi stays in the mansion all day, there may be other things Come out, it may be more serious, then you should regret it again."

When it comes to self-comfort, no one can compare to her.

Ji's eyes lit up, she didn't speak, just nodded to Yuzhu, and went in with a tea tray.

The old lady's temperament is much more restrained than before, and she no longer sees the domineering orders of the old master when he was alive and Xie's just passed away-the red lipstick that was too gorgeous in the past is gone, and she is wearing a brown satin front. On the jacket, there is a drop-shaped silver hairpin inlaid with beeswax on his head, and the hair on his sideburns has turned gray again, giving him the appearance of a loving elder.

Yu Zhu was quite unaccustomed to this appearance, so she just stood quietly and listened to the two talking about their daily routines.

After seeing off the old lady, Yu Zhu personally brought the decocted medicine and said with a smile, "...Brother Ming is about to be released. This is the first good news this year, and it's a good sign."

The old man took the medicine bowl with a smile, drank it down, and then took the warm cloth towel from the servant girl's hand to wipe the corners of his mouth, "That's right, brother Ming knows how to make progress, and it's not in vain that your uncle loves him the most. He is the eldest son, but he will be responsible for the whole family in the future."

He didn't quite agree with Xie's previous methods. After all, they are all descendants of the Cheng family, so it's no big deal to help. Why bother to let the elder brother hold back?

Of course he knows the difference between concubine and concubine, but the Cheng family's concubine is so powerful, why should the concubine be suppressed so ruthlessly...

Thinking of Mrs. Xie, he couldn't help but think of Princess Zhuyi. After all, she is not the married wife. The status of the Duke's Mansion is always behind her...

As soon as he thought about it, Xie's cold and elegant face appeared before his eyes again, and he heard her softly calling him: "Master..."

Seeing the old man's eyes slightly closed, Yu Zhu seemed to be in some kind of deep thought, and hurriedly pulled Ji Shi, and the two retreated lightly.

After Cheng Xunxun came back at night, Yuzhu dragged him to Cheng Siyi's yard.

Cheng Xungong is not in the mansion, there are some things that no one except Cheng Xunxun would dare to do, such as - tie up Cheng Siyi.

"Except for falling asleep and awake, you are not allowed to untie it at any other time." Cheng Xunxun ordered this, and the prescriptions prescribed by old doctor Gu added a lot of soothing medicinal materials, which made him fall asleep for most of the day.

Looking at Cheng Siyi who was tightly tied up on the bed, Ji's heart ached, and he hated to the bone the few people who hooked up his husband to go to Hongyun Tower.

"Old Doctor Gu said that the reaction was a bit stronger in the first half a month, and then it was just a little uncomfortable... Gradually, it will be under control, don't worry." Cheng Xunxun stood in front of Cheng Siyi's bed with his hands behind his back, and comforted Ji. Brother Yi has become like this, it's really hard for her.

Ji saluted, indicating that she had listened.

The servant girl brought the medicine, she quickly went to pick it up, sat down by the bed, and fed it herself.

Cheng Xunxun was about to take two steps back to make room, when he suddenly frowned, he stretched out his hand and pressed Cheng Siyi's shoulder——Yuzhu saw that if Cheng Xunxun didn't stop him, Cheng Siyi would pounce forward, and the soup was still steaming. Most of it must be spilled on Ji's body...

Seeing that Cheng Siyi's eyes were blurred at this time, the veins on his forehead were exposed, he was gnashing his teeth and staring at Ji Shi, as if he recognized this person who always poured bitter medicine on him.

"It's like this, it's okay if you don't tie it up." Cheng Xunxun looked at Ji, with a bit of sternness in his eyes, "What if the servant girl can't stand him and let people run out? This kind of reputation Get out, Brother Yi will be really ruined in the future!"

Ji Shi just bowed his head and wept silently.

In front of Ji's family and servants, Yu Zhu couldn't refute him, and after she got out of the yard, she said angrily: "What are you blaming grandma for, what woman who has read the female commandment dares to tie her husband!"

It was precisely because she knew that Ji Shi could not do anything that she pulled him over.

Cheng Xunxun just smiled and said nothing, it's not that he doesn't know this, but he just thinks that in that situation, the crying and begging that women often use are useless, and the matter should be done urgently, even the housewives should have some courage when necessary...

He couldn't help but think of the dark and rainy night when the fifth prince seized the throne—the little wife who was as delicate as a flower, holding a blood-stained dagger in her hand, her eyes were cold... On the ground, Gong's bloody face was tied tightly Tightly.

She kept her token securely on her body, and the old lady wasn't hurt at all...

I don't quite remember what it felt like at that time, as if something hot and hot rushed to the tip of my heart, leaving some vague and meaningful impressions...

"Okay, don't be weird." After being twisted, Cheng Xunxun smiled and said.

What do you ask so much from others?

While talking, she brought up the old man's illness again, Yu Zhu smiled and said: "...I can get out of bed already, and my complexion is also good, it seems that it will fully recover in a few days."

"Father's body has always been in good health, but it's strange to be sick this time." Out of the East-West corridor, Cheng Xunxun made a wrong foot, stepped forward with his long legs, and moved to the other side of Yuzhu in an instant, and said slightly sideways, "When you get older, you can't wait until you're old." It’s no different than before, in the future we still need to have Dr. Gu come to check his pulse frequently.”

The tall figure in the black fox armpit cloak almost blocked her whole body, seeing the handsome smiling face of the man, Yu Zhu suddenly became playful, and jumped back a step on tiptoe.

The night wind was cold, the cold wind was icy and biting, and it pierced into human bones. Yuzhu was blown trembling, like a frightened little sparrow, hurriedly took another step forward, and retracted to Cheng Xunxun's side.

A man's low laughter came from next to his ears, Yu Zhu felt ashamed and embarrassed, but couldn't help getting closer to him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
