Rebirth of a famous family: Mala's first wife

Chapter 238
Mei Xiaodong heard the mystery in Uncle He's words, and immediately asked with a cold look, "What? Is there something wrong with the soup and medicine that the old lady sent?"

Uncle He straightened his body, with indignation written on his vicissitudes face, "Returning to my son, even though I have never read medical books, I also know that the weaker a person is, the less he can make up for it. The old lady expressed concern Under the banner of the Grand Duke, what is sent every time is a tonic with warm medicinal properties. After the Grand Duke ate it, not only did the cough and asthma not improve, but it became more serious!"

"You mean, the old lady did this on purpose, just to kill my grandfather?!" Mei Xiaodong said coldly.

"I don't dare to say that." Uncle He hurriedly lowered his head.

"Hmph!!" Mei Xiaodong slapped heavily on a big tree beside her, causing the green leaves to fall down one after another.Mei Xiaodong instantly understood the reason: Mrs. Jiang must have been afraid that the emperor would suddenly take back her title. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, she set up this poisonous plan. !

Such a vicious woman, her heart can be punished!
Hearing the loud noise, Uncle He raised his head immediately.He looked at the little master who was full of resentment, and nodded slightly.He sees it well, only the little master is the old man's biggest support!

Mei Xiaodong frowned and pondered, and quickly made up his mind. "Uncle He, I will arrange two hidden guards for you. From now on, the soup and medicine brought by the old lady will be replaced by the hidden guards, and then you will serve it to Grandpa to drink. I will personally go to persuade Grandpa to take the prescriptions prescribed by the imperial physician every day." As for the old lady, don't worry, I have my own countermeasures. In short, you remember, first, don't alert the mastermind behind the scenes, and second, don't let grandpa know my actions, lest he get emotional."

"Yes, my lord!" Uncle He immediately agreed respectfully.

Mei Xiaodong returned to the Qinjiange where she lived, and the leader of the secret guard, Lou Yi, was already waiting here with several brothers.Mei Xiaodong ordered with a calm face, and the hidden guards took their orders and left.

……

Today was Mrs. Jiang's 57th birthday, and the British government was full of excitement as in previous years.

After the guests took their seats in the flower hall, a butler lady in indigo bija and double row of silver hairpins led the theater troupe owner to ask Mrs. Jiang for instructions, "Old lady, the theater troupe is ready, do you see something important?" play?"

The birthday star, Mrs. Jiang, was smiling brightly, talking to her sisters from her natal family.Because of her fair skin and outstanding temperament, she looks like she is only in her 40s, and she is even more conspicuous in the crowd today in her splendid attire.Hearing that she took the play list, she said with a smile, "The Deyun class is the one you invited? I'm already tired of listening to their literary plays, so I'll order a martial play this year."

Seeing several old sisters nodding their heads, she turned to ask the troupe owner, "Which one of you sings better, 'Havoc in Heaven' or 'Wu Song Fights the Tiger'?"

The owner of the theatrical troupe was about to answer "Wu Song Fights the Tiger", but when he saw the housekeeper's wife flirting with him, his heart trembled, and he immediately realized that there was a word "tiger" in the old man's name taboo!So he quickly bowed his body, and said very respectfully and humbly, "As for the nobles, it's better for the young ones to practice the monkey show "Havoc in Heaven" on weekdays."

Before Mrs. Jiang herself could speak, an old sister she had always been close to pointed at the troupe owner and said with a smile, "This old opera singer can't speak! What benefits have you gained from the Duke's mansion, why did the Mrs. Became your great nobleman?"

"Haha!" A few old sisters roared with laughter.Jiang shook her head and sighed with a smile, "Fourth Sister, I think you are getting thicker with age, and you are the only one who can make fun of your elder sister in front of an opera."

The old lady known as the Fourth Sister crossed her hips and raised her face proudly, "People say that you are old and pretty, but there are only us old guys here, so what if I show off my old face? Is it not enough to be restrained for a lifetime, even on my sister's birthday, I am not allowed to joke around?"

"Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want!" Jiang Shi waved his hand in defeat, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but the corner of his eyes was aimed at the troupe owner, and he lowered his head deeply, with a deaf ear and a very interesting look Only then did he look away.

The list of plays was circulated among the wives, and only a few plays were ordered.Seeing that there were too few plays, Mrs. Jiang asked the troupe owner, "It's all old plays that I'm tired of listening to. Do you have anything new?"

The troupe owner was so nervous that he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said tremblingly, "As for the nobleman, there are a few new actors in the small troupe this year. The nobles look fresh."

"Hmm." Jiang shook her head noncommittally.Today is her birthday, so the guests must be happy to return... "That's all. If you have any other good things, let's talk about them together."

"This..." The troupe owner hesitated for a moment, but finally summoned up his courage and said, "As for the nobleman, there is also a new play in the small troupe called "Biography of Ren Xiao", which has been sung several times. Well, why don't you see..."

""Benevolence and Filial Piety"? That's a good name! Sister, today is your birthday feast. In my opinion, singing such an auspicious opera is the best." The old lady named Simei said again .

"Yeah, the name is really good, just listen to it." The other sisters also nodded in agreement.Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang asked the troupe owner to add this new play to the play list, and ordered the housekeeper to lead him out as before.

After leaving the flower hall, the owner of the theatrical troupe hurriedly wiped his sweat again.The housekeeper caught a glimpse and couldn't help laughing, "Boss Huang, you have seen our wife several times, why are you still so nervous?"

This is not because your old lady is born with the appearance of a tigress, which makes people feel scared at the first sight!Boss Huang was slandering in his heart, but he tried his best to flatter him on the face, and smiled embarrassingly, "You are laughing, my lady, our opera singers belong to the bottom class. After seeing so many noble people, naturally our legs trembled. It's hard to be nervous! Fortunately, you took care of me today, so I didn't make a bigger mistake, this little care..." He said, and passed a small purse from the bottom of his sleeve.

The butler smiled in satisfaction, took the purse and hid it in her sleeve familiarly, turned her head and smiled, "Boss Huang is a sensible person, no wonder the Deyun troupe can gain a foothold in this capital. We have ordered four plays today, and you can sing from the new play." Get up."

"Yes, ma'am." Boss Huang immediately beamed with joy when he got this little reminder, and went to work in a hurry.

The housekeeper's wife shook her head and sighed secretly as she walked away, "Oh, what a pity, good man!"

After half a cup of tea, the gongs and drums were knocked on the stage, and the clown came to the stage. First, he praised the birthday star Jiang Shi fiercely, saying that she was like a queen mother who descended to the earth, which greatly angered the guests below. I can't stop laughing.Next, I will introduce the repertoire, the new play "The Legend of Ren Xiao" will be performed!After hearing this, the guests were all looking forward to it.

The title of the first episode of the new play is "Jiao Yu Zang", and Jiang s beats the beat slowly. As soon as he heard the beginning, his face turned green!
