Chapter 300 Many Secrets
"What's wrong?"

Liuli frowned.

"It was when the previous general and grandma went out to visit the grave, Hanxue suddenly asked the servant to go to the street to buy embroidery thread, and instructed me to go to the house with a stone lion at the entrance of Qingque Hutong. Then she gave the servant a A note, saying that I was afraid that I would not be able to explain clearly, so I wrote a piece of paper and asked me to show it to the shopkeeper, and make it up for her according to the list. Although the slaves can't read, they can recognize numbers. I wrote it, but saw that there was no number on it, so I paid attention, and then asked the scholar who wrote the letter to read it. The scholar was very puzzled after reading it, and asked which minister’s family I belonged to? How could the scholar see that I was a servant of the minister's family when I bought embroidery thread? So he pretended to be from the prime minister's house and asked him to copy it and bring it back for grandma to look at."

After Bingling finished speaking, she took a folded piece of paper from her belt and handed it to Liuli. "The servant has compared it carefully, and it is indeed exactly the same as the original one."

Liuli opened it and frowned suddenly. It actually wrote some things and analysis between the father and son of the Qi family, but the names were replaced by the old master, the second master and the third master, other than that, there was nothing special about it. The big secret is not what Liuli and Qi Yunhao think about how Qi Yunhao stands in line.Ordinary people get this piece of paper, at most they think that the women in the inner house are passing secrets from various houses, and they definitely won't think about any important military affairs.

Although the prince is a bit stupid, he shouldn't be so stupid as not to care about Qi Yunhao's private movements and to study the relationship between father and son. What does it mean for Hanxue to send this out?
Liuli believed that Qi Yunhao would not lie to her, and it was useless for him to lie to her, so he took a step back and said, even if he really liked Hanxue, he didn't need to make up that kind of lie.Besides, she herself has eyes, she can see that Hanxue has other purposes, but she hides it well.So, what does the content of this note mean?

"You just said that she wants you to show this note to the embroidery thread seller who has a stone lion at the gate of Qingque Hutong. Then what did you find after you went there?"

Liuli folded the paper and said.

Bingling said: "The shop is not big, it is mixed in the same street and it is not eye-catching. There are many shops with stone lions at the door, but they are only engaged in needlework business, and this is the only one with stone lions at the door. There are only one old and one young A woman, both of whom can read, the old woman had a very calm expression after receiving the note, as if it was real, she gave the servant girl a five-color silk embroidery, and said nothing else. "

Liuli thought for a while and said, "Rui'er, bring the monthly money." Then she said to Bingling, "Go back first, don't reveal anything."

Bingling nodded and went down.Liuli called Ji Jiaoer, "Go and find an embroidery thread seller with a stone lion at the entrance of Qingque Hutong, and observe who the people in there interact with, and then what's unusual."

It is suspicious that an old and young woman who is engaged in a small sewing business can read and write.Liuli wants to see what mission Hanxue is carrying.

Liu Li waited for Ji Jiao'er to come back, but Ji Xiaoquan came in after drinking a bowl of medicine.

"Returning to grandma, news came out from the prison. When Mrs. Yu saw He Tingfang's restaurant sale list that day, she vomited blood on the spot and passed out twice. Today, He Tingyu and his wife went to visit the prison, and they are also in prison. Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Yu cried for a long time, wrote a blood letter, and confessed to distribute all the property in her hand to He Tingyu and our second grandma. Just now when He Tingfang returned to He Mansion with the blood letter, He Tingfang and He Tingyu started a fight. Mrs. He It took two days for my body to become more agile, so I lay down again."

That's all for Yu's heap, anyway, what kind of seedlings bear what kind of melons, and which of the descendants taught by Yu's has the right seedlings.But Liuli couldn't help but sigh when he heard the mention of Mrs. He who was ill.It is a custom to go back to her mother's house on New Year's Eve to bid farewell to the New Year, and she has been hesitating for the past two days whether to go back and see him.When it came to treating her, the concubine granddaughter who came out halfway, Mrs. He's attitude was not very correct. He was always vacillating between good and bad. All in all, Liuli didn't treat him as a real grandfather. But if you say you hate him or hate him, that's not the case.

"I'm afraid the old man won't be able to drag on for long," Ji Xiaoquan saw her silent, and said, "I heard from people in the He mansion that the old man had a stroke after the old man's death, and he didn't recover much. It's just that his consciousness recovered. That’s all. Dr. Wu has already visited, and it’s a blessing to be able to delay this spring.”

Liuli sighed again, picked up the tea and paused, "Do you think I should go or not?"

Ji Xiaoquan paused, and said: "If grandma lets the younger one talk about it, the younger one will feel that she should go. Even if grandma is not aimed at the old man and the old man, she should go if she is aimed at the old lady. What's more, what's the matter? There are eight girls and five grandmothers who treat grandma well, and their father is also the old man's own flesh and blood. It is understandable for grandma not to recognize the old man, but if even the old man and the old lady don't recognize the old man, it means they don't recognize the ancestors. Yes. After seeing the third master and the fourth master, it's hard to talk."

Liuli nodded and took a sip of tea.It also sounds reasonable. Speaking of which, her dowry was given by the old lady. For the sake of the old lady's face, it is reasonable to go to see her husband who is not long alive.So he put the cup down and said: "Then let's make arrangements, I won't be free tomorrow, Ruier will go prepare some gifts, and I will go to He Mansion after lunch."

It happened that Qi Yunhao came back during lunch, and heard that she was going to He Fu, so he said: "This time I killed their elders, their elders must hate me, maybe even you will complain. I'll be with you go."

Liu Li hesitated and said: "But what if he is rude to you?" This is possible, after all, a dying person has no scruples.Forget it, if Qi Yunhao is scolded by him, she doesn't think he can bear it.

Qi Yunhao said slowly: "How can you be impolite? Can he still beat me? If he scolds me a few words, it's okay if he is an elder. As long as you treat him as a grandfather for a day, I will treat him too It's my grandfather's respect."

Liuli's heart warmed, and she ate the food with astringent eyes.

After dinner, they set off for He's Mansion, He Pusong and He Xiuzhi were officials in the same dynasty as Qi Yunhao, and greeted him out of the gate, while Liang's and Nie's greeted Liuli in with complicated eyes.

Huanhua and Luo Mingzhu greeted him at Erdaomen with Brother Ping in their arms.Liuli looked up and saw that the red lanterns that had been hung high at this time in previous years were nowhere to be seen. There were a few servants standing sparsely under the gate, and the window grilles and New Year pictures on the gate had not been replaced.

"The long house has suffered such a catastrophe, and the old man is seriously ill in bed. No one has the heart to deal with these things." Huanhua glanced at Liuli and said.

Liuli also glanced at her, and went to the main courtyard together.

Huanhua still has unspoken sadness in his eyes, which is invisible to other people.Liang's and Nie's eyes were complicated, but there was only fear, awe, worry and uneasiness. They all counted how He Cunli died, all because they were afraid that she would deal with them in the next few rooms.And Luo Mingzhu is indifferent, not indifferent to Liuli, but indifferent to the ending of the long room, all this has nothing to do with her, although she has not seen it before, but Ruan's greed and He Yuli's indifference to Aunt Su She knows it.

The reason why Huanhua is sad and indifferent is that apart from her disapproval of He Yuli's actions like Luo Mingzhu's, there is also a kind of sorrow from the descendants of the He family for the gradual decline of her family. She is one of the few descendants of the He family. One of the few with the heart of a child.

Along the way, apart from the conversation between Brother He Pusong and Qi Yunhao, the group of female relatives had nothing to say. In fact, it was only a few months since Liuli went in and out of here last time, but it seemed that it had been many years. After the downfall of the long house, it became depressed in an instant.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, an unfamiliar maid opened the curtain, Liuli glanced around, Biyun and Qingshang were gone.The old man sat on the couch with the quilt wrapped around his body, and his whole body became emaciated.He Pusong stepped forward and said: "Father, General Qi and Liuli are here." After a while, the old man raised his eyes, looked at Liuli, stretched his chin, and said, "Sit down."

Liuli and Qi Yunhao sat down on the chairs in front of the couch.

The room was silent.After a long time, Liuli coughed and said, "The general and the second master go sit next door."

He Pusong and He Xiuyuan hurriedly got up, letting Qi Yunhao go to the next door, Liang's and Nie's also got up to go to Zhang Luo for tea

Liuli said to the couch, "How's the old man's appetite these days? I brought some easy-to-digest jujube cake and yam cake. I don't know if it suits your taste."

The old man said: "If it tastes bad, it's a dying person."

Liuli fell silent and stopped talking.

The room was silent for a long time, and the old man said: "What else are you here for?"

Liuli looked at him, but still didn't speak.

The old man snorted and supported the edge of the couch with both hands: "I have been thinking these days whether my son died wrongly or not. I know that Qi Yunhao hates him, and he is right to hate him. In the end, the incident almost killed him, but your life was given by him. Without him, you would have no chance to live as well as you want. My son gave your life, but died in your hands. Counting, you owe I have two lives in He Fu, one is yours and the other is his!"

He stared fiercely at Liuli, his cloudy eyes seemed to burst into flames.

Liuli stood up facing the setting sun coming in from the window, stretched out her hand and pushed the window sash, and the sunlight leaked into the room like a curtain of water.

The old man narrowed his eyes and turned his head away.

"How long has it been since the old man saw the sun?" Liuli asked, "It's been a few months since the window has been closed like this? A person is always trapped in his own world, never knowing how to change his position, even if he dies." , and I don’t think I’m wrong.”
