Flowers are expensive

Chapter 516 Who Prescribed the Medicine 2
"Hmph!" Mrs. Zuo snorted coldly, "I'm afraid you don't think so in your heart! What did they wrong the butler for? I'm afraid you've been watching theaters and listening to books with me these two days, and you feel very uncomfortable, right? "

"No! No! How could I?"

"No? Then what did you tell them in the first two days?"

"I... I'm just going to tell them to pick a good joke, don't fool you with the ordinary one..."

"Just because I'm too old to tell good from bad, I want you to be troublesome there!" Mrs. Zuo raised her voice and scolded An Shi, "What a restless thing! It's so easy to come to a team I like. Are you getting impatient after performing a few good plays? As soon as you turn your back, ask someone to change the play, and you like the play just now?"

An Shi hurriedly shook her head and said, "I didn't ask me to change it, they put it on themselves!"

"Without your orders, how could it be changed like this? A lowly fireworks woman wins the favor of her master, kicks her wife out of the court, and her family becomes his wife like a dog. You like this kind of scene very much, right? "

The sarcasm made Anshi unable to lift his head!Zuo Chanyin and the others began to persuade Mrs. Zuo, but she was not relieved at all, and continued to point at An Shi and cursed: "You just think I can't see clearly with your small intestines? I wish I would die immediately to make room for you." , you are an old lady!"

"No! Mother, why would I think so?" An Shi tried to argue.

"Didn't you think so? You're afraid that you always think so in your dreams! Bullying me because I'm old, coaxing Zuo Tian to hand over the power of the house to you, you don't like me? Even if I listen to a few good plays You want to stop it too? Do you want me to go west immediately!"

"Mom, you have wronged me to death!"

"You are the kind of person," Mrs. Zuo said angrily, pointing at Mrs. An, "what kind of family do you deserve? If you want to run the family, it should be my eldest granddaughter-in-law in the future. What are you? I gave you a few keys. , You are really dreaming of the old lady! I am ashamed of you! Listen, untie the key and seal and give me!"

"What?" An's face changed drastically, and he looked up at Mrs. Zuo in astonishment and asked, "Mother, what...why do you want the key for?"

"The key and seal were originally taken out of my hand, so what if I want to come back? I'm not dead yet, so I don't need you to run the house for me! Bring them!" Mrs. Zuo shouted angrily.

Anshi was panicked and angry, and very embarrassed!There were no less than 40 people present, all of whom were dignitaries and their families in the city. Mrs. Zuo asked her to hand over the housekeeper's key and seal on the spot.Although she is not liked by Mrs. Zuo, she is also Zuo Tian's favorite concubine Aunt An.Who in the capital doesn't know her name An Ru?In this way, how will she see people in the future?

But no one in the Zuo family would speak for her, only Zuo Chanyin, the married daughter, persuaded her a few words, and the others looked at Anshi coldly, as if all this had nothing to do with them.When it comes to Zhen'er, An's background in the Zuo family is the lowest.She is just the daughter of a wealthy businessman in central Beijing, and the two granddaughter-in-laws of the Zuo family are all well-known, not to mention Zuo Tian, ​​his father and son, and Zuo Chanyin, all of whom have meritorious service or titles.

Therefore, even if she is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, her natal family has no imperial background, and she will be looked down upon in the Zuo family.And the onlookers were even more unwilling to offend Zuo Tian's old mother for helping an aunt.

Just when the atmosphere was awkward, An's two sons jumped out.They were very angry when they saw their mother being wronged, and they were already angry when their mother was hit on the forehead by their grandmother for no reason the day before yesterday, and now they are even more angry!

Then Zuo Xing walked up and said, "Grandma, how can you blame my mother just based on that girl's one-sided words? It's clear that they did something wrong and wanted to frame my mother..."

"Shut up!" An Shi hastily tugged at her son's sleeve.But it's too late, Mrs. Zuo is completely on fire!She squinted her eyebrows, slapped the coffee table heavily, and cursed angrily: "Irregular things! Do you have a place to speak here? The elders are lecturing, and if you don't listen carefully, you jump out and talk out loud because you want to help Is your mother mad at me, an old woman? All right! I can tell, it’s great to have two sons backing me up? I can’t even talk about it, but once I talk about it, the mother and son will come up to deal with me, right? "

An shi yanked hard to the left, raised her head and said in a low voice, "Quickly kneel down and apologize to your grandma!"

Zuo Xing was young after all, and he was doted on by Zuo Tian, ​​so he stuck his neck out and refused to kneel down.Madam Zuo was naturally even more angry.Among the three concubines' grandsons, she has a good attitude towards Zuo Yan, and the two born by An's are the ones she dislikes the most.Now in front of everyone, Zuo Xing showed her face like this, can she bear it?
"Forget it! Forget it!" Mrs. Zuo was trembling with anger, she stood up tremblingly holding a nanmu crutch and said, "I can't stand him kneeling, and I don't want to watch this show! I'll just go back and have a glass of arsenic, so I don't have to cry You juniors are not pleasing to the eye!"

"grandmother!"

"Old lady!"

"Old sister of the Zuo family!"

Zuo Chanyin and those older female relatives persuaded Mrs. Zuo one after another.Mrs. Zuo pointed to the left with trembling fingers and said, "Look, do you have such a rebellious and unfilial grandson in your family? This is a rebellion at all! Our Zuo family has always been strict, how could we raise such a child? Look at the three brothers and sisters of Chanyin, how can they look like this? They are really dragons born of dragons, and rabbits born of cowards!"

Zuo Xing became even angrier after hearing this, and directly contradicted Mrs. Zuo: "Who are you calling a coward?"

"Okay!" An Shi hurriedly tugged to the left.

"Oh my God!" Old Madam Zuo covered her heart and screamed, trembling, "This is really going to be a rebellion! Chan Yin, Chan Yin, hurry up and call your father! This disobedient thing actually talks to me like this !"

When there was a lot of commotion, Zuo Tian arrived late.As soon as he came, the whole scene fell silent, except for Mrs. Zuo who "accused" Anshi and Brother Zuo Xing with tears and grievances.

Zuo Tian was a tactful person, he comforted his old lady with a few words, made An's mother and son apologize, and then ordered Xixi and others to start the gong as usual.In less than half a cup of tea, everything was calm again, as if nothing happened just now.But whether it happened or not, those who know will know.

After the play started again, Xixi returned to the yard where they were waiting for the summons.As soon as she entered the room, Xixi tore off her veil, covering her mouth and laughing until her shoulders trembled.She sat down on the chair, leaned on it comfortably, touched her increasingly round belly and laughed softly: "Oh my! The play just now was more exciting than what I made up! Hehe...it's really interesting Make my heart flutter!"

"What disgusting words? You still have a heart and soul!" Zhuang Yunxian sat beside her and drank tea and said, "But what you arranged today is really interesting! It almost caused the old lady of the Zuo family and Aunt An to fall out on the spot !"

"Hmph!" Xixi shook her shoulders and laughed, "Who told them that the Zuo family locked up my dear husband! It's a trivial matter to have a falling out, and there will be a big drama behind it!"

"But Zuo Tian seems to be difficult to deal with! He just came, and there was no trouble. I was hoping that the old lady of the Zuo family would clean up the two Zuo Xing brothers! But when he came, what kind of drama? nothing!"

Xixi lightly patted her round watermelon belly and smiled: "Don't worry, a good show needs to be sung slowly to be good. What we have to deal with is not Zuo Tian, ​​and we can't deal with Zuo Tian, ​​who is in power. All we did was set fire to his backyard and upset him. If we rashly target Zuo Tian, ​​we must seek death."

Zhuang Yunxian got up and leaned against the window, glanced outside and asked: "Then what are you going to do next? Do you want to continue singing for the old lady of the Zuo family here?"

"The show has just started, so naturally we have to continue singing. We have been in touch with people from the Zuo family for the past few days, at most we have learned a little bit about it. If we want to make the backyard of the Zuo family really catch fire, we haven't added enough gunpowder," Xi said. Xi said with a sinister smile, "When we secretly sprinkle the gunpowder all over the Zuo family's backyard, then with just a few pointers, we can immediately burn a fortune!"

Zhuang Yunxian let out a chuckle and said, "You're still rich! By the way, have you noticed that among the guests who came today, there is someone who has a bit of a relationship with Dongguo Mingzhu and Qixiang."

"Is there? I didn't care so much, I just played the oboe with Xin'er. Male or female?"

"It's a girl, I think she should be Dongguo Mingyue?"

"So what?" Xixi straightened up and said, "You still want to ask her for information? We don't know her position, so it's better not to disturb her."

"That's right, look again!"

After the two scenes were over, the luncheon was set up.Xin'er and the others packed up their things and returned to the yard.Not long after, a table of meals was brought to them in the kitchen.Wuye performed two performances in a row, tired and hungry, so she picked up her chopsticks and wanted to eat.A spy patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't panic!"

"Oh..." Wuye lowered her eyes and said weakly, "Please hurry up, okay? I'm really hungry!"

The spy took out a silver needle from his bosom, waved it in front of her eyes and said: "For the sake of your mother's safety, you must probe it first, and you will bear it no matter how hungry you are."

"Understood..." Wuye lay on the table and stared at the table of good wine and food, with the expression of a puppy salivating.

The spy first probed it with a silver needle, and there was no sign of blackening, then scooped up a spoonful of soup and tasted it carefully, but unexpectedly he spit it out after sipping it in his mouth, and said with a serious expression: "No! "

"What's wrong?" Xixi asked hurriedly.

"Put laxative on!"

"Ah?" The people at the table were startled, looked at each other, and thought of a question in unison, who would be so childish to put laxatives in their meals?
Zhuang Yunxian frowned and said: "It's unlikely to be the butler. I just got hit by a board just now, I guess I'm still lying on the bed right now, so I didn't come out so soon to harm people?"

"It's unlikely to be Aunt An," Xin'er nodded, "We're going to have an accident, the first people to suspect are her and the housekeeper, right? Who could it be? Why are you giving us laxatives? Are you trying to poison us?" Just put arsenic on it, but what are the laxatives for?"

Xixi bit her lower lip, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she picked up her chopsticks and tapped the edge of the bowl twice: "I think of two people."

"Who?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Zuo Xing and Zuo Che."

Zhuang Yunxian slammed the table, pointed at Xixi and said: "It must be those two boys! It must be that we sued their mothers for being unconvinced just now, and they want to punish us with laxatives!"

Xin'er also nodded and said: "That makes sense! We're all purged, who will play the big show? Doesn't it hit Aunt An's desire to change the team? Besides, laxatives are only something that those two childish ghosts can do. thing!"

Xixi smiled and said, "I'm not too sure, I just think they are the most suspicious."

"Then should we eat this meal or not?" Wuye asked pitifully while holding an empty bowl.

After pondering for a few seconds, Xixi smiled and said, "Since some people have taken the lead, we shouldn't disappoint them. But if we are the only ones who are expelled, how lively is that? If we want to be expelled, we should all embarrass together , then this scene will be noisy enough!"

"How lively?" Zhuang Yunxian immediately asked with a smile.

Xixi took out a square box from her satchel, opened the lid and said, "There are six kinds of poisons in here, which Mr. Zhao Xun specially prepared for me in case of emergency. One of them is also a laxative, I say so." You should understand, right?"

The spy just now nodded and smiled knowingly: "Your Majesty, that's a great idea! I'll leave this matter to my subordinates, and I'm sure no one will notice it!"
