Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 273 Chapter 72 · Broken Wrist

  Xu Tongzhou always felt that there was something wrong with his mother's expression. In his impression, his mother had never been such a talkative person. But he was young, and when he heard his mother talk about the funeral, he subconsciously felt that his mother was worried because of the second uncle, and was afraid that they would collide with something, so he nodded and agreed, promising: "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of him. With my brother, I won't let my brother walk around!"

  Zhang Linghui hummed, praising him for being obedient and sensible, reaching out to help him straighten his collar, then helped Zhang Mammy to stand up and walked out slowly.

Xu Tongji leaned on the window and tilted his head to watch her leave the yard, then turned his head and said to Xu Tongzhou, "Great! Mother, she is finally getting better, and when Daddy comes back, we can go to the other villages together again. Play."

  Xu Tongzhou's attention was attracted by his younger brother. When he saw him finished speaking, he turned around in a hurry. He accidentally bumped into the pen holder, so he had a headache and called the girl to come in and sort it out.

  The house was quiet, and even the servants all looked cautious, Xu Tongzhou sighed and took his younger brother to review his homework.

When the light coming in from the window slowly dimmed, he asked the girl to put away the books and take his younger brother to find his mother-although something happened to the second uncle, since grandmother came back, she would definitely want the family to eat together. For dinner, he didn't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy and just wanted to stay by his mother's side.

  Xu Tongji followed him step by step, like a puppy wagging its tail.

   When he arrived at Zhang Linghui's yard, Xu Tongzhou turned around and pulled his younger brother to speed up his pace. Just as he entered the door, he saw people in the yard rushing back and forth in a panic.

   Some ran out, some ran in, and some wiped away tears.

   He was startled, and stood outside the door in a moment of uncertainty, watching the chaos in the yard, and subconsciously clenched his brother's hand.

  Xu Tongji was also blank, tilted his head and looked up at him: "Brother, what are they doing?"

  Zhang Linghui usually hates noise the most, so her yard has always been very quiet, but at this moment, these people don't care at all, aren't they afraid of their mother getting angry?

  Xu Tongzhou frowned, his heart was beating fast, and he quickly entered the yard holding his hand.

The people around    didn't even care about them, until they were all on the steps, Xu Tongzhou grabbed it and stumbled and almost fell.

   He turned his head in surprise and saw Mama Li's anxious face.

"Hey my two young masters, why are you two here?" Mama Li was very anxious, but she forced a smile and coaxed them to go out first: "What's going on here, take the little one with you first. Master, go back, okay?"

   Xu Tongzhou didn't have time to speak, when she saw Zhang Mama opened the curtain and walked out with tears on her face.

   He was startled, he didn't care to talk to Li's mother, and hurriedly shouted: "Mother Zhang!"

When Mammy Zhang saw the two of them, her tears flowed even more fiercely, but she reluctantly wiped away her tears with her sleeves, and hurried over: "Why are the two young masters here? This is not the place for the two of you to come. You go back first"

   One and two have such an attitude. Xu Tongzhou was full of doubts. He shook his head and refused: "I want to go to my mother, where is the mother?"

  Mama Li coughed suddenly.

  Mother Zhang quickly grabbed him with her eyes and hands, with great strength: "No, the two young masters go back first, the adults have something to do, you are obedient, don't worry Mrs. Shizi."

  Xu Tongji also realized that the situation was wrong. The tension between the adults infected him. He looked at this, looked at that, and suddenly burst into tears, shouting to find his mother.

Li's mother hurriedly picked him up and coaxed him. When she was in a hurry, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu's second came in from outside, her face full of anxiety. Seeing that both Xu Tongzhou and Xu Tongji were there, her face sank. Quickly stepped forward and took Xu Tongji from Li's mother, and asked gently, "Why did you come here?"

  Xu Tongji's tears were still hanging on his face, when he heard his grandmother's question, he pursed his lips honestly: "I came to see my mother, but my mother ignored me."

   Mrs. Xu sighed: "Mother is not free now, when you are free, come over again, okay?"

  Xu Tongji was ignorant, but Xu Tongzhou had cold hands and feet. Thinking of Zhang Linghui's abrupt visit and words in the afternoon, he opened his eyes and asked Mrs. Xu, "Grandmother, what happened to my mother?"

   Mrs. Xu frowned and said after a pause: "It's nothing, grandmother go in and have a look, you are obedient, go back first, you are a big brother, you need to be more sensible and take your brother, don't let your brother scare you, go back."

  Xu Tongzhou had no choice but to lead Xu Tongji one step at a time and three turns back out of the yard.

   Mrs. Xu has already entered the door through the opened curtain.

   I don't know why, but at this moment, Xu Tongzhou suddenly felt his heart beat very fast, he turned around hesitantly, suddenly quickened his pace, and galloped into the room.

   His movements were so fast that Mama Li couldn't stop him for a while.

   Mrs. Xu's sigh resounded in the room: "This child is fine in the morning, why can't you think about it?"

   With a thud in his heart, Xu Tongzhou turned around the screen and saw Zhang Linghui lying on the bed at a glance.

   She was still wearing her afternoon clothes, and her hands were hanging softly on the edge of the bed, looking like she was asleep.

   But if she fell asleep, why are so many people crying and talking here, but she still doesn't move at all? Mother is most afraid of noise. With so many people, how can she sleep?

   He walked forward in a trance and accidentally knocked over a vase on the side.

   This movement suddenly made both Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu's second turn their heads in shock. When they saw him, they were subconsciously stunned.

   Mrs. Xu was the quickest to react, she immediately called out to be in the same boat, and stepped forward to cover his eyes and take him out.

  Xu Tongzhou refused to leave, he couldn't breathe, his chest seemed to be blocked, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, trying hard to break free from Mrs. Xu's hand.

   Seeing him like this, Mrs. Xu's tears immediately fell, and she choked up and said, "Poor child!"

   Zhang Linghui was unconscious on the bed, and the last ray of light outside the window disappeared. The lanterns under the corridor lit up one after another, and the wind blew, and there were bursts of heartbreaking crying from children.

  Almost at the same time, Su Yao almost gave all the books to the correct account, came out of the council hall, stood under the corridor and glanced at the newly changed lanterns.

The lantern was newly made, and it looked much brighter than the previous round lanterns. When the wind blew, it swayed gently. Yancao said with a smile: "This is from Master Shen, and it is said to be from Jiangsu and Zhejiang today. Bian's most popular lanterns are beautiful, and they are indeed better than the ones we hung before."
