chapter 56
However, when he heard the mourning sound from the cloud board, Yang was scared to death.

If any master should die unexpectedly, Gein, the little butler among the women of the night, must be summoned for cross-examination.

But what she did tonight, how could she stand up to careful questioning?

It wasn't until I came out of the warm pavilion and stopped the sister who was on the night watch to inquire about it, that I knew it was a false alarm.

But it turned out that the mourning news from the cloud board was not the master of this mansion, but the grandmother Rong of Ningguo mansion.

Now, since Jia She and Jia Zheng, most of the grandfathers, wives, brothers and girls have rushed to the East Mansion, but there is no one in this mansion for a while.

Even so, he was frightened.

The two agreed to discuss the business another day.

Laishun went back in the dark, how to coax his own father; Yang Shi went back in the morning, how to scrub like peeling, not to mention first.

Let's just say that Siqi Er was half past [[-] o'clock in the evening], accompanied Jia Yingchun back home, and waited for Yingchun to wash and rest.

Then he ordered the little maid to make hot water, and leaned on the spring stool with her feet in the bath and closed her eyes to rest.

"Sister Siqi."

Half-dreaming and half-awake, he felt someone wrap his arms around his waist.

"No!"

With a coquettish cry, she covered her chest with her left hand and Guanqiao with her right hand. When she was about to struggle to get up, her limbs and bones were all softened into a pot of porridge.

Reluctantly twisted a few times, it was said to be struggling, but in fact, Pipa was half-concealed and refused to greet him.

"What's wrong with my sister?"

This was Xiuju's concerned voice coming from his ear, and Si Qi finally woke up from his strange emotions.

With a blushing face, she broke free from Xiuju's embrace, and said angrily, "What the hell are you doing this night?!"

"What's wrong with me?"

Xiuju looked at her innocently, and said aggrieved: "I just wanted to help you go back to the house to rest for a while because I saw that you were tired."

Only then did Si Qi realize that the wooden basin under his feet had been moved aside, his feet had been wiped dry, and he had put on a pair of Sujin socks.

She knew that Xiuju was wrong, but she was ashamed and didn't retreat, and she couldn't say anything soft, so she muttered: "I can't sleep well when I go back to the house, you should go and rest, I'll just protect the girl. "

"Sister, what's the matter?"

Xiuju refused to leave, looked at Si Qi carefully and said, "It's said that he was ill, but his complexion looks very moist, but..."

"What moisturizing!"

Hearing the word 'moisturizing', the red tide just faded from Si Qi's face, but it was immediately rendered to the roots of his ears.

He got up and stomped his feet and said, "In the middle of the night, I listen to your nonsense here - if you really don't want to sleep, then I'll go..."

Just as they were talking, they heard four consecutive knocks on the cloud board from the second door. They both knew it was the news of mourning, and they couldn't help but change their colors.

Si Qi hurriedly ordered Xiuju to go out to inquire, and stepped forward to wake Yingchun again.

Just halfway through here, I heard rumors from outside that Grandma Rong from Dongfu was gone.

Si Qi was relieved.

No longer in a hurry to urge Yingchun to go out quickly, but to help her neatly and tidy carefully.

Thinking of the dullness of these two girls, Si Qi quietly ordered someone to find some ginger, cut it into pieces, and instructed Jia Yingchun to carry it in his sleeve. The film should be urgent.

After the arrangement was properly arranged, Si Qi and Xiu Ju took the little maids and first sent Jia Yingchun to Mrs. Xing, and then accompanied her to join everyone in the second room.

A mighty group of [-] women, those who rode in cars and those who sat in sedan chairs, took two quarters of an hour to arrive at the Ningguo Mansion next door.

I saw that the gate of the Ningguo Mansion was open, and the lanterns on both sides were illuminated like daytime.

Everyone was welcomed into the mansion. It was supposed to be You Shi to entertain, but the woman in charge said that her grandmother had an old illness and was already asleep.

This is a little strange.

Previously, because the Rongguo Mansion sang the box-sealing meeting, You Shi also went to join in the fun. At that time, she and Wang Xifeng were chatting and laughing happily.
Everyone has doubts in their hearts, but after all, it is not easy to ask other people's family affairs.

Therefore, after only a few words of concern, under the guidance of Jia Qiang, they went to a separate flower hall.

Madam Wang had just waved Jia Qiang back, and relatives from all walks of life arrived one after another outside. For a while, Madam Wang and Madam Xing became the mistresses of this place, and were admired by all the women.

Seeing that the sky was white, Jia Baoyu looked for it again, and the three aunts and six grandmothers hurriedly gathered around to give a loud compliment.

Si Qi was the least likely to see such flattering people, so he pulled up his jacket and went to the courtyard to breathe.

Who wants to gossip with Qingwen under the porch, suddenly the front yard is in chaos, and Jia Zhen can be heard shouting and killing in the mourning hall from a distance.

After a while, Ping'er also came out of the house and asked what was going on outside.

Si Qi was already curious, and because he had already wrapped his skirt, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to inquire.

When I went to the outside yard and listened to it, I realized that it was Jia Zhen who had to kill the old servant in the family for some reason.

Thanks to Jia Zheng's timely arrival and a slap in the face, Jia Zhen's murderous intention was finally put out.

However, he still angrily ordered that the old servant Jiao was beaten out of Ning Guofu.

That's not all, Jia Zhen was sobbing in front of the mourning hall again, full of 'heart' and 'liver', and Jia Rong, the real husband-in-law, looked like an iron man with no heart and no tears.

Such kinds of things are really hard to see.

After Si Qi went back, he was embarrassed to explain it in detail, and only picked up what he could say and roughly described it.

Fortunately, it was Mrs. Wang who was in charge in the hall. She had already noticed something faintly, so she only asked a few general questions and did not delve into it.

At this moment, I saw the sky was white with fish belly.

Wang Xifeng thought that in the morning, the sisters had to wash up, but it was really inconvenient to go back to the house at this time.

So he called Ping'er and instructed her to bring all the maids and go home first to fetch everything she needed.

Ping'er took the order, and immediately gathered six or seven outposts and more than a dozen little maids, who were divided into five carts and returned to the Rongguo Mansion.

Among them, Siqi, Xiren, and Jia Tanchun's maid, Shishu, were riding with Ping'er.

They are all familiar with each other, and they don't have much scruples about each other, and three or five gossips are brought to that Jiao Da's head.

Others don't know, but Ping'er knows about Jiao Da's origin, so he sighed: "He went out with the grandfather three or four times since he was a child, carried the grandfather out of the dead man, and died; I stole something for my master to eat; I didn’t get water for two days, so I got half a bowl of water and gave it to my master to drink, and he drank the horse himself.”

"Relying on this kind of credit, he should have been honored for a lifetime, but he didn't cultivate his oral ethics, and said a lot of rebellious words, which is how he ended up like this."

In the words, there is a bit of regret.

Although Xiren and Shishu did not know about Jiao's great achievements, they had also heard rumors of 'pickling ash and raising a younger brother-in-law', and now they all knew that he was benevolent and could not blame others.

Ji Siqi sneered again and again, and said: "Jilai is always hurt by things, all of you, don't you think of yourself as your master?"

Xiren and Shishu were immediately speechless, and their faces were a little unsettled.

Ping'er was busy in the middle of the game, and half-truthed Si Qi again, and said angrily: "You girl has been through some things recently, and you are getting more and more lonely!"

Xiren and Shishu remembered what happened to her recently, and they were relieved.

There was a group of peace, and suddenly there was a lot of discussion outside, and some people laughed loudly at 'Jiao Da'.

Si Qi opened the curtain curiously, only to find that he was already on the street.

Looking at the sound, I saw a white-headed old man lying alone in the snow that had not yet melted under the south wall.

 Thanks to book friends: Fingers Eternal, Ai Lijiang, Sugar—— for the reward.
