Lan Congxiao

Walking into the side courtyard, there is a small building, which seems to be very inconsistent with the entire Zongzheng family house, and it is quite a bit of their elegance.

Approaching Xiao Zhu, hearing a few coughs, Qiu Zhu immediately slowed down her pace, only to hear her superior whisper, "Ma'am, are you sick again? I have already asked the kitchen to decoct the medicine."

"No need in the future, no matter how much medicine you take, it won't help, let them not bother in the future." Listening to the voice, the woman's body is very weak, her energy is suspended, and she has no breath when she speaks.

"Ma'am, you can't hide your illness from the doctor. The master hired the best doctor for you, and he will surely cure your illness." Before he finished speaking, the voices of the two men behind him turned from far to near.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you say that idlers are not allowed to disturb Madam's recuperation?" The voice was very familiar, and when Qiu Zhu glanced away, Zong Zhengmu was walking towards him. He hadn't seen him for a few years. He was much more mature and stable before.

"I'm here to deliver medicine to Madam." The voice tried to be stable, and Zongzhengmu didn't look at each other, and slightly bowed to explain.

"This toad bead is like a stone sinking into the ocean, and there is no news. These medicines can only temporarily suppress the toxicity." Zongzhengmu looked at the bowl of medicine, full of worry, and the man beside him sighed helplessly, "Don't worry, drinking is better than not drinking."

"I'll send it to Madam right now." Qiu Zhu turned around, took a deep breath, and started walking, pretending to be clumsy, making a little footsteps for them to listen to.

The man next to Zongzhengmu is probably Zongzhengshan, the young master of the Zongzheng family.The two brothers sat beside Mrs. Zongzheng, and the three of them, the mother and the son, also talked about commonplace things.

"You haven't handed over the medicine yet." Until Zongzheng Shan opened his mouth, Qiu Zhu slowly handed over the medicine and candied fruit "Madam, please take medicine." Respectfully put the medicine bowl on Mrs. Zongzheng in front of.

It was the first time Qiu Zhu saw Mrs. Zongzheng. She had a delicate appearance, and she could tell that she was not a woman from this place. The sickness on her face could not be concealed. It was the long-term toad poison that dragged her down.Qiu Zhu looked at her many times, and always felt that this woman looked familiar, and there was a faint sense of familiarity in those eyes.

"Go down and tell me, don't boil medicine for me in the future, can I still not know whether it will work?" Mrs. Zongzheng pushed back the medicine bowl, and coughed a few more times, "Mu'er, don't go out to look for anything in the future. The toad bead is gone, that thing is long gone, so why bother looking for it?"

"Mother..." Zong Zhengmu was interrupted before he could speak, "You are filial, and you will stay at home with me as a mother in the future, so that mother will be happy."

"What mother said is that Mu'er has been away from home for many years, so he should stay for a while longer. The most important thing is that mother is happy." Zongzheng Shan secretly pinched Zongzhengmu's leg, and Zongzhengmu had no choice but to compromise, "Mu'er knows his mistake. "

"Mother, drink up the medicine, you can be more energetic when you go out tonight..." Zongzheng Shan personally handed over the medicine bowl, but Mrs. Zongzheng didn't answer, and said to Zongzhengmu, "Don't leave when you come back, If you go out another day, take your mother out for a walk."

"It depends on whether the mother is healthy or not. You have to drink this medicine for this."

Just when Qiu Zhu was about to wait for Mrs. Zongzheng to drink the medicine and put it away, Zongzhengmu suddenly gave him a stare, which made him freeze, and quickly put away the dishes and turned around to leave.

Qiu Zhu thought about it, and always felt that Mrs. Zongzheng didn't care as much as Zongzhengmu did, and she didn't even ask for a chance.

The speed of walking out of the courtyard slowed down a lot. He looked around quietly, and found that there were only two maidservants in the courtyard, and according to the distribution of a big family, it was really a little less.

It's a pity that he couldn't take a detour to take a look at the back. Zongzhengmu's sudden appearance made him unable to stay for a long time. That guy knew him, and if he recognized him, it would be a lot of trouble.

Tonight, Zongzheng's family will take care of the second young master. Naturally, the whole family will be together, and it will not be too late to find out.

They stayed until dark, and everyone was busy in the front yard, so the side yard inevitably seemed deserted. Just as they were about to go to the side yard again, they were stopped by the housekeeper who hurriedly ordered the servants to work.

"You, what are you doing in a daze, go to the front and help."

Qiu Zhu reluctantly walked towards the front yard with the food and wine. Zongzheng's so-called life of singing and dancing was completely different from theirs.

"Hurry up and bring it to the second young master." Everyone sat alone at a small table, Qiu Zhu lowered his head and placed the dishes in his hands in front of Zongzhengmu, "Second young master, please eat slowly."

"Amu, this is the new cook at home. The grilled beef and mutton are excellent. You should try it out this time when you go home." Slightly raised his head, Zongzheng Yue, the official head of the Zongzheng family, was sitting in the front seat. .

"The dishes at home are the best, and there are no delicacies outside." Zongzheng Mu took a sip and praised, Zongzheng Shan smiled and said, "Then don't go out all the time."

"What your brother said is that you are a grown man, and children of your age have already married wives and had children, but you are often away from home, and you can't see anyone even when people propose marriage."

"I have traveled to many places and met different girls. If there is one I like in the future, I will definitely bring it back to show my parents and elder brother."

Although talking and laughing to the family, Zongzhengmu's eyes never left the servant, and after a few drinks, he excused himself to leave for a while.

Qiu Zhu walked quickly towards the side courtyard, pushed open the courtyard door, and went straight to Mrs. Zongzheng's room.

The room is simple and elegant, without the slightest sense of luxury, but it is somewhat similar to his mother who has been studying for many years.

After looking at everything, I didn't find anything wrong. I opened a few drawers, but I didn't find the wooden box that Dr. Su said, or was it really carried by Mrs. Zongzheng?

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed quickly, and when he turned around, the golden light shot out. Qiu Zhu kicked back and hit the arm of the person who came. neck.

"I haven't seen you in three years. How is Second Young Master Lin?" Zong Zhengmu put away the lotus thorns, as if seeing an old friend, he took two steps back.

"Your skills are improving really fast." The speed of the moves just now made Qiuzhu almost unable to react in time. If it wasn't for the lotus thorns that need to be close to be effective, he might have suffered at least some skin trauma.

"Back then, when I visited the Weiming Villa at night, you locked me in the stone room, so what should you do when you visit Zongzheng's house unannounced today?" You tapped your fingers on the table twice forcefully, "But second young master Lin, you also took great pains. Now, at first glance, it is really different from the one I knew at the beginning, but..." Zong Zhengmu looked up and down artificially, the person in front of him had dark and rough skin, without the slightest air of a gentleman, who would believe that this was the Lin family The second young master is dressed as "but how can a servant have the smell of wine? Although the taste is very light, it is enough to distinguish. The second young master Lin has tasted a hundred wines since he was a child. This is not something that ordinary people can get. The smell on his body But it's hard to hide."

Qiu Zhu ignored this point, he never thought that he still had the smell of wine on his body, and Xun Fei mentioned that he was only talking nonsense like that child.
