Mrs. Tai is really rich

Chapter 77 A letter from Mrs. Tai's third son
The hustle and bustle of the night market finally dissipated with the sound of a gong, and the night really immersed the earth. Xie Ruqing walked quietly in the night in a small sedan chair lit with lanterns.

This small sedan chair began to appear in the dark night like a tiny and weak dawn, like a thin silver thread, slowly stretched out.

Its existence is incompatible with this dark night, it is like a ray of bright sunlight in the dark night, it is no longer so scary in the dark, and it dispels the darkness in people's hearts.

In such a dark night, Brown Tang slowly rushed out from the street, walked to the side of Xie Ruqing's sedan chair, and asked with her head lowered:
"Master, let's leave everything to Mr. Gao like this. Do you want us to secretly ask someone to investigate?"

"No need, although Gao Qi is ruthless, he is indeed famous for his promises. What's more, he must care about our wife's affairs. You don't have to worry about Gao Qi."

"But, remember, go back and find some people who don't look good, and ask you to trust them, and put them in each room quietly, and pay attention to their movements."

"Master, do you doubt..." Hong Tang was about to express her conjecture when she heard Xie Ruqing lightly tap on the wooden board in the sedan chair, so she immediately fell silent and said instead:
"Yes, master, a group of Kunlun slaves were just cultivated on Jiangnan Road the year before last. You originally said that they were going to be inserted into Fuxi Kingdom, but on Fuxi Kingdom, you gave Master Qin and Master Fang to the slaves last month. Let's go, if the Kunlun slaves pass, I'm afraid they can't compare with Master Qin and the others, how about..."

"No, although Aqin and Afang are shrewd, they are no match for four punches. Those Kunlun slaves used to be their hands, eyes and ears. No matter how urgent the family affairs are, they can't overstep national affairs. Let some of the family members return to Beijing, and let them enter our mansion to work."

"But isn't the Gong family our confidant's big trouble, this is the man we managed to get in with great difficulty... If..."

"The Gong family is not stupid. We have found out some clues a few days ago. We can't lose our hands. Besides, I have already made other arrangements for the Gong family, which is better than our Kunlun slaves." Xie Ruqing turned the jade wrench in her hand, Feel free to say it.

"Yes, master, you are wise~"

"Don't flatter me, you don't have to go back to the house with me now, go to Chen Ji to buy bowls and pots, Madam's hometown taste, it doesn't look like the cooks in our house, Chen Ji has a old master for many years, you Buy it back and let Madam have a taste." Xie Ruqing opened the sedan chair curtain and said.

"Yes, little one, let's go."

After receiving Xie Ruqing's order, Brown Tang disappeared into the night as silently as when she came.

The first ray of dawn in the morning quietly draws a line from the horizon, and gradually becomes brighter and brighter. It begins to drive away the night and make the darkness disappear.

As the dawn continued to grow, everything on the earth began to wake up, plants, flowers, birds, insects, they all began to be active and ready for the new day.

Xie Ruqing stood at the door of Hefeng Hall, glanced back at the first ray of light in the sky, then retracted her eyes, and then pushed the door open and entered.

At this moment, the main house still has a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine. Gu Ruosu is still asleep at this moment, and has not noticed Xie Ruqing's arrival. On the contrary, Murong Shu, who has not slept all night, is guarding Gu Ruosu's side tightly. At the first moment, Then he discovered Xie Ruqing's arrival.

"Little uncle."

"Well, go back and rest first, I will take care of your aunt here."

"Yes..." Murong Shu didn't want to leave, but seeing Xie Ruqing's chilly eyes, she didn't dare to say no, she could only reluctantly leave Gu Ruosu's room, secretly making up her mind to wait for Xie Ruqing to go up When it was time, he came again and stood by Gu Ruosu's side.

"Why haven't you woke up after sleeping for so long? Are you tired? You've worked hard. Marry me..."

"Sleep for a while... just for a short while... I have come back from Gao Qi... I have to wake up soon so that I can rest assured..." After Xie Ruqing took off her robe and mask , and immediately sat beside Gu Ruosu, grabbed Gu Ruosu's little hand, rubbed it constantly, and babbled about his feelings.

At this moment, Xie Ruqing very much hoped that Gu Ruosu would wake up sooner, but Xie Ruqing was afraid of waking Gu Ruosu up and interrupting her rest, so she kept lowering her voice as she spoke, until the ever-increasing dawn light entered In the house, he refused to stop.

I don’t know how long Xie Ruqing has been muttering to herself, but I only know that as the dawn increases, the sky becomes more and more beautiful: the color of the sky changes from black to dark blue, and then dark blue gradually turns to light blue, Then after turning pink, orange and yellow, the sun began to appear in the sky, and when the light brightened the whole earth, the moment Gu Ruosu woke up, Xie Ruqing also stopped her muttering.

"Hmm...so sleepy..." Gu Ruosu turned over sleepily and said.

Xie Ruqing could no longer hide the smile in his eyes at this moment. He watched Gu Ruosu turn over on the bed, and then, pamperingly guided Gu Ruosu to put his head on his lap, and then, like coaxing a child, gently Patting Gu Ruosu on the back, he said with a joyful tone:
"It's okay, I'll have breakfast later, drink the medicine, let's sleep for a while, let you sleep well enough, and don't let anyone disturb you..."

"Hmm...ok..." Gu Ruosu replied in a daze.

But this scene of peaceful years was only half a moment before Gu Ruosu suddenly said, "I miss my fourth sister."

Xie Ruqing paused, and then said: "She will miss you too, she has been watching you in the sky..."

"My fourth sister is the best person...Why don't good people live long...Why does her daughter suffer so much...It's all my fault, why didn't I take good care of my sister's children..."

"It's not all your fault. Tigers are poisonous and don't eat their children. Who would have thought that everyone in the Murong family is inferior to animals, and my own daughters and sisters are willing to harm you..."

"For so many years, they have written to us, saying that Shu'er and the others are doing well. You want them to come to Beijing, but they have repeatedly refused. If you really say something is wrong, it is also my fault. I didn't remind you in time. There's something wrong with you..."

"What about Shu'er, is she okay...I want to see her..." Gu Ruosu said in a muffled voice.

"She's okay. I stayed with you for a whole day yesterday. It's just that you fainted. I don't know. You just asked her to go back. When she goes back to have a good rest, I'll call her to you again..." Xie Ruqing said Seeing that Gu Ruosu's brows were still furrowed, he continued:

"I have already taken back Murong Shu's deed of selling herself from 'Die Lian Hua' and burned it. I will take care of the rest. No one will know that Jiao Niang is Murong Shu. In the future, Murong Shu It will only be a relative of our Xie family, and the guest of honor—Gu Shu."

"Gu Shu?" Gu Ruosu asked doubtfully.

"Well, Gu Shu, she said that she doesn't want to be named Murong again, which shamed her. She wants to use your sister's surname as her surname, and use your sister's surname to do something great and honor your Gu family."

"Well... indeed... it doesn't matter if you don't want the surname Murong... to save us trouble... But for changing the surname, do you have to invite the elders of the Gu family and the Murong family..."

"Don't worry, I will take care of all these things for her. You don't have to worry, just take good care of yourself..." Xie Ruqing couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw Gu Ruosu who was constantly worrying about various things, and hurriedly interrupted, It comforted Gu Ruosu's heart.

"I asked Brown Sugar to buy you your favorite pot side. You said you wanted to eat it a few days ago. It happened that Chen Ji came to a master chef. You can try it later. Brown sugar to buy, please come back is also possible."

"Thank you..." Gu Ruosu said.

"Thank me for what. I am your husband. Protecting you and making you happy are the most important things in my life. It should be a matter of course. There is nothing to thank." Xie Ruqing patted Gu Ruosu's head and said.

"You don't understand..." Gu Ruosu sighed, and said in his heart alone: ​​[I am not your wife, but I have taken over your wife's status, taken up her life, and enjoyed the bonus and care you gave me...]

"I don't understand, I only understand...in this world, only you, only you...is my wife..." Xie Ruqing deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "you" when she said this, as if deliberately refers to.

But Gu Ruosu immediately shook his head, thinking that this was his own illusion...

But Gu Ruosu was afraid that Xie Ruqing would be suspicious, so he said again: "Nonsense, you are not just my wife...you obviously married another one before me...and gave birth to many children."

"The relationship between you should be very good. At least, I remember that when the third son saw me for the first time, he was coaxed by me and told me the love story between you and his mother... What kind of flower is it? , thrushes in the morning... don't they all have them..."

"I respect Mrs. Yu as a guest, but what the third child said never happened... At most, it was me and his mother who brought the children to enjoy the moonlight together on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival. over the moon.

What's more, the youngest child sees things quite simply, and he will think of some things by himself. Listen to what he said, you really wronged me. "

"Nonsense, although the third child is a member of the military camp, he is not as good as you civil servants... But he is not stupid, why is he quite simple, and he likes to think about it... It is clear that you are guilty..." Gu Ruosu muttered road.

"I'm never guilty. When the third child comes back from the New Year, I will ask him in front of you about these things, what exactly did he see when he was a child."

"The third child is coming back? Why didn't you say anything before?" Gu Ruosu suddenly asked in surprise. Her attention had already shifted from Xie Ruqing's relationship issues to the third child of the Xie family. There was no other reason. She had already seen I have passed all the children of the Xie family, but I have never seen this Saburo Xie who has been guarding the frontier all the year round, so I am inevitably quite curious.

"Well, I'm coming back. After guarding the frontier for ten years, it's time to return to Beijing. Things have been decided at the beginning of spring, but there are too many things happening in the mansion recently, and I am also busy preparing for the reception etiquette. Time to say."

"Then Rushi knows, she is a frail woman with two children, her husband is not around, she is quite pitiful."

"I should know that the third child values ​​his family the most, and I think he has already written a book for Rushi."

"Well, that's good, forget it, I won't ask the third child about you when he comes back."

"Why?"

"Tch, you are his father, how dare he say that you are not good... Besides, family reunion is the most important thing, so what's the point of asking these?

Besides, I'm not... Yuan... I'm not a small-bellied person. Gu Ruosu was almost about to reveal the "truth".

At this moment, Xie Ruqing's eyes were darkened, and she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say that, but continued to pat Gu Ruosu's back time after time, coaxing the only heart in his life...

Xie Ruqing and Gu Ruosu on the other side were not able to be completely honest with each other at this moment, and there were some little-known sorrows.

On the other side, Ru Shi, who was guarding the vacant room alone, just as Xie Ruqing said, received a letter from Xie Jiasanlang Xie Haojia, and became ecstatic.

"From my wife, everything is fine with me at the border, but there may be marching arrangements in the near future. This matter is very important, and it involves a major issue of our country's espionage, so I won't go into details with my wife. In the future, I may not be able to communicate with my wife for a period of time. I hope that my wife will not miss it and live a good life at home. I will try my best to return home as soon as possible. I only hope that on the day of return, my wife can personally take the sweet-scented osmanthus wine under the locust tree and get drunk with me." Xie Changdong stood at Rushi's Beside the couch, a childish voice read the letter for Ru Shi.

After reading it, Xie Changdong threw himself into Rushi's arms with great joy and said, "Mother, Daddy said that he will try his best to come back early to drink with you, does it mean that he is coming back! I miss him so much! "

"Yes, yes, I think I should be back soon... Ordinary people change their defenses at the border every seven years. Your father has been at the border for ten years now. Thinking about it, no matter how you think about it, he should be back." Rushi continued Xie Changdong coaxed with a smile.

"Really! Then I'll tell my brother later! He must be very happy too!" Xie Changdong said with a smile.

"Your brother... By the way, why have I been ignoring your brother for the past few days? Didn't he tell me that he was sick earlier? Why, is he still sick?" Ru Shi frowned.

"Mother... In fact, my brother's illness is just pretending..."

"What pretense?! Your brother never lied!? But what happened? Did someone in the ethnology bully you!" Rushi anxiously grabbed Xie Changdong's shoulders and asked nervously.

Xie Changdong shook his head and said, "No, no, everyone is very kind to us, and my husband is also very kind. My husband likes my brother the most, and says that my brother is smart!"

"Then your brother told you, why on earth is he pretending to be sick?" Rushi calmed down after hearing Xie Changdong's words, and asked as calmly as possible.

"Well... I don't know... my brother just said... just... let me study hard with him... After that, I will take my mother to another place to be an official! Stay away from here."

"Your brother is a man of fighting spirit. You have to learn from your brother, but how did he know that the world is so big, but there is no reason why the capital is as good as it is~" Ru Shi said with a smile.

"Cut~ Brother has no fighting spirit~" Xie Changdong said with a snort.

"Oh~ where's the lack of fighting spirit? Your brother's homework is all first-class~ It's not like you, every time you pass~" Rushi poked Xie Changdong's little head and said with a smile.

"Huh~ Mother, you don't know, my brother asks me to study hard every day, but he hasn't studied hard by himself recently. He just got up today, so he went to his little uncle and said he was going to borrow a few books. Look at the miscellaneous notes, but I went with my brother, who obviously went out! And I went to find sister Putao, who was next to your mother before! They even entered the house together!
Sister Putao makes the best wine glutinous rice balls!My brother must have gone to eat alone behind my back!

What I saw with my own eyes...don't take me with you...Mother!You have to take it out on my behalf! "Xie Changdong puffed up his little bun face and said coquettishly.

Rushi's face froze when he heard this, but he still smiled and said: "Okay, okay, your brother wants to go out to find your sister Putao for delicious food, I'm not sure, just drop by to catch up~
You~ I think about eating, drinking and having fun every day. Let me tell you, as far as your schoolwork is concerned, if you don’t study hard...I’m afraid you will find out when your father comes back. Your father is going to beat you. Listen to your brother, okay? Reading well is the right way..." Rushi said as he patted his youngest son's head.

"By the way, Dong'er, when your brother comes back, ask him to come to mother for a while, and tell him that mother has something to look for him, and let him come no matter what." Rushi's tone was still gentle, but there was something in it. Xie Changdong frowned uncomfortably for some reason.

But Xie Changdong still said obediently: "Yes, mother, don't worry, even if I tie him up, I will tie my brother up in front of you!"

"Good~" Hearing this, Ru Shi said with a satisfied smile, and immediately cast his eyes on the locust tree in front of the window, his eyes glowed, as if he was expecting something... But, when Xie Changdong left, he Silently dimmed his eyes, seemingly inadvertently cut off the Buddhist beads in his hand.

"Nurse, go give Putao some money so that she can live her life well. Now that you're out of the mansion, it's best not to have any contact with people in our mansion."

"Yes, Putao has recently become a mother, so she should be able to understand your hard work, madam."

"I hope so too. If she can't understand, I will be extremely distressed." Ru Shi said this, rubbing her temples in distress, and then said:

"By the way, Mammy, I heard that the girl brought by my uncle went to the Duke's wife's yard and made her mother-in-law faint. What's the trick? I heard that she hasn't come out yet."

"Perhaps he was beaten, the Duke is not a good-tempered person."

"Oh, she's a poor girl. When someone returns to our uncle's yard, go and deliver some plaster. Just say that it's our kindness, and then mention her a few words, let her work harder, and let Liu Yeer continue to work hard." Try hard, the mother-in-law is the most merciful, and she will be able to be a family in the future."

"Ma'am, you are kind, why don't you call people over to chat with you about Buddhist rituals, copy scriptures, and pray for the Duke and Madam?"

"That's not necessary. I can copy the books by myself. It just shows my sincerity." Ru Shi squatted down, picked up the scattered Buddhist beads, and said softly...
