Want to hold the king's hand, but the king runs away

Seeing that there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year, the whole capital of Bianjing is immersed in an atmosphere of joy and jubilation, only the Zhao Mansion is shrouded in desertedness and bleakness.

It wasn't that they didn't want to make Zhao's mansion more joyous, it was because they were cash-strapped, and in order to treat Ruide's leg, they spent nearly 200 taels of gold and medicine alone.

Yu Shi's eye sockets have become deeper, and the light blue below makes people look listless. She sits beside Ruide and slowly rolls up his trouser legs.

The calf that came into view was already pitch black, and the calf was severely swollen.

"Mother, can my leg still be healed?" Ruide looked at Yu Shi with a mournful face.

Yu's tears have dried up these days, so many doctors have been invited to see Ruide, but the injury on his foot has not healed, on the contrary, it has gotten worse.

The acupuncture and medicine used by all doctors are different, and some medicines interact with each other, causing Ruide's legs to hurt so badly that he can't walk at all.

Ruide watched as Mrs. Yu didn't answer him for a long time, and played around as usual, beating the bed with both hands while shouting: "Mother, if this leg can't be cured, I will never go out again for the rest of my life. I have no face like this." Get a wife, and I will die in this house alone in the future."

Seeing her precious son lose his temper again, Yu hurriedly pressed his hands that were pounding the bed vigorously, and said in a panic: "No no no, Ruide, don't be like this, mother has already figured out a way for you Yes. It will definitely work this time?"

"Really?" Ruide's face, which was still crying, immediately subsided, which was exactly the same as the way he was swearing at Jinshu back then.

Yu Shi watched her son calm down.He breathed a sigh of relief: "How could mother lie to you?"

Ruide suddenly remembered what Yu Shi said to Qingyi behind his back a few days ago, and asked again: "Mother, are you here to deceive me again? You told Qingyi earlier that my father is no longer willing to spend money to treat me So, where did we get the money to cure the legs?"

Hearing Ruide knew about this, Yu was worried that he would feel uncomfortable, so instead of answering him, he asked, "Don't you blame your father?"

"Hmph! What kind of father is he? He just fools around with that vixen all day long! When I can stand on my own, mother, I'll take you away. I'll save you from being useless in this family."

Talking about Zhao Chi, Ruide didn't show any respect on his face.

I don't know how Zhao Chi will feel when he looks at him now, but it's because the house is poor and can't afford money for medical treatment, so he is so spoiled by his beloved son.

After all, apart from Aunt Jin, this son is the one he likes the most in the whole house. Compared with the misery of his sisters, Ruide is already in the Fuwo.

If a mother in an ordinary family listens to her son talking about his father in this way, she will inevitably blame her.

Instead of sternly admonishing him, Mrs. Yu said to him encouragingly: "Mother is just waiting for you to grow up to raise me. Then you help me. Let's avenge our revenge and avenge our grievances. Let's bully these bullies." Get rid of our bitches."

"Definitely, definitely! So mother must heal my leg, otherwise, who will avenge you." Ruide hugged Yu Shi coquettishly.

Yu Shi hugged his head, let him lean on her shoulder, and rubbed his face against his hair: "Rui De, this time, in order to cure the illness, I have to wrong you to apologize to the side room two."

"what?"

Mrs. Yu stopped stroking her head with her hands, and said to him seriously: "Rui De, Kang Ting is going to Bianjing, if you let him come to treat you, you will definitely improve!"

Seeing that Ruide was about to interrupt, she quickly said, "Don't rush to interrupt, just listen to your mother. Although your father is unwilling to ask the Kang family to help, we can still use Zhao Jinshu! With her As for the relationship with Kang Ting, as long as she asks, Kang Ting will definitely agree. If he treats your leg, he may not charge you a penny."

Mrs. Yu had already begged Zhao Chi to ask the Kang family to help him, but he refused without even thinking about it.

Sure enough, Zhao Chi took his own face the most.It has been so many years since Kang Xufeng reprimanded him, but he still holds a grudge, and even stopped walking during the holidays.

"But I don't want to apologize to them!" There was obvious rejection in Ruide's voice.

Yu felt his disgust, but there was no other way: "Mother has already thought of a complete solution, but the etiquette that should be done must be done adequately. Mother does not want to apologize to them so easily, but there is no There is a way."

Thinking back to five years ago, when he thought he had a chance to win, he proudly put down his harsh words in front of Jin Shu, now thinking about it, he finds it extremely ridiculous.

"The two of them are villains! How could they talk nicely to me? Have you forgotten that Aunt Jin dared to slap me in front of everyone before she was in her current position?"

Ruide thought of Aunt Jin's slap in the face, and hated him so much.

All these years, he looked at the mother and daughter in the side room, with their nostrils facing the sky, and they left with a snort, and now he was going to apologize to them, how could he be ashamed?

So Ruide pulled Yu Shi's sleeve again to play tricks: "Mother, you love me the most, can you go and tell me for me? I can't lose face."

If he can handle it by himself, Mrs. Yu will definitely not let his son appear on the stage. Now it is a last resort: "Rui De, face is not something you can eat. You have to remember that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, so bear with it for a while It's nothing. When the time comes, mother will definitely return all the grievances you suffered to them!"

Ruide looked at his terrifying legs, knowing that the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so he could only nod his head and do as Yu Shi said.

The next day, at two o'clock.

Looking at the time, Mrs. Yu guessed that everyone in the mansion should have already woken up for lunch break, and told Qingyi beside her: "Just follow my instructions yesterday, you go and call all the masters of Zhao's mansion to the main hall, the next few rooms Everyone went to collect the weeds and dead wood in the yard."

Qingyi nodded, and replied: "Mistress, then I will go first."

Seemingly a little worried, Mrs. Yu told Qingyi again: "Qingyi, be careful in everything, don't be discovered by others."

"Don't worry, ma'am, I won't let you down."

After finishing speaking, Qingyi hurried out the door and walked towards the courtyard.

Relying on her leaving, Yu twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand, a peace that had not appeared for a long time appeared on his face.

When Qingyi arrived at the side courtyard, she first knocked on the door and entered Aunt Jin's room.

Just as Yu expected, Aunt Jin just woke up from her lunch break. She was lying on the kang yawning, her eyes were sleepy, and she looked tired.

Seeing Qingyi coming here, she rolled her eyes and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Qingyi bowed slightly: "Auntie, Miss Jinshu, Cuiwei and Master Ruiyi, let you go to the main hall together to make plans for the New Year."

What kind of trouble did Mrs. Yu get?

Aunt Jin wanted to see what tricks she was going to play, so she raised her hand and shook Qingyi: "I see, I'll be here right away."

She moved her body and was about to get up, when she told Qingyi again: "Go and tell her where Jinshu is. You know, she is rarely willing to go out in this weather, if she doesn't want to go. Don't force her, if there is something important, just talk to her when I come back later."

"Okay, Auntie." Qing Yi seemed to have thought of something again, and added: "There is one more thing, Auntie."

"You say so."

"The eldest lady said that as the new year is approaching, there are dead trees and weeds scattered everywhere in the mansion, which stinks after soaking in the snow water. She saw that the weather is good today, so she told all the servants in the mansion to take advantage of this opportunity. Hurry up and make the mansion orderly."

Since the servants of the Zhao Mansion left a lot, the people in the few rooms only cared about the few inches of land in front of their own door, and the rest of the mansion automatically turned a blind eye. It really made people feel disgusting after a long time.

So when faced with this proposal, Aunt Jin raised her hands in favor, and quickly told Pingrui: "Call Pingyue up later, go help."

"Okay, Auntie. Just..."

"Just what?" Aunt Jin looked up at Pingrui.

Pingrui glanced at Qingyi and didn't know whether to say what she said, but she also thought about Qingyi's plan to frame her aunt before.He straightened up and said, "When we all leave, this yard will be empty. What if those bitches want to put something in our room again?"

After she finished speaking, she pointedly glanced at Qingyi.

Qingyi's face was livid with anger, but she dared not speak.

Aunt Jin sneered: "Don't worry, the child has grown up so much, can it be possible to drink a sip of safflower water, and just die like this?"

Qingyi was so excited by the words of the master and the servant that she couldn't lift her head, and hurriedly said: "Aunt Jin, you are busy first, I will go to Miss San first."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the next room.

Seeing Qingyi walking away, and being reminded by Pingrui again, Aunt Jin said to Pingrui: "It's a good thing you said that, she has stopped too much these years, I was a little careless .Wait to go out later, save the money in the house and hide it in one place."

If Mrs. Yu really had any plans, it was most likely for money, so Aunt Jin only cared about collecting the money.

"Auntie, once I was bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of well ropes. I learned such a big lesson back then, don't I remember it?"

Pingrui was talking.After counting all the silver in the house, they put it all in the wooden box and locked it.

Qingyi entered Jinshu's room, the temperature in the room was much warmer than outside.

Looking around, there were three carbon basins on the ground, and the silver carbon inside was crackling and crackling.

And today's Jinshu also fell to the ground wearing winter clothes which was a rare occurrence. She was sitting in front of the case and was holding Zihao in her left hand, and coughing with a handkerchief in her right hand.

Seeing Qingyi salute to herself, Jinshu asked coldly: "What's the matter?"

Listen to her cold voice.Qingyi felt a little fear unconsciously.

In the past, she would pretend to be cute and silly in front of the eldest lady, but after returning from the chrysanthemum banquet, Jin Shu became more and more indifferent to the people in the main room. Except for Hua Shu who had a good face and could talk and laugh, everyone else was indifferent to her. It is like a dead thing.

Qingyi was shocked, and then told her Yu Shi's order.

After listening, Jin Shu only asked, "Is my mother going?"

"Aunt Jin just told me that she is going, so let me tell you as well." Qing Yi concealed more than half of Aunt Jin's original words.

"Okay, I see. You go out."

Qingyi immediately said: "Then please hurry up, Auntie and the girl, I will invite Cuiwei and the others right away."

finished.Then he walked out in a hurry.

Qingyi went out of the yard and did not go to Cuiwei as she said, but found a place to hide.

Until all the people waiting in the side courtyard were gone, Qingyi quickly and cautiously entered Aunt Jin's room.

Aunt Jin took Jinshu's hand to the main hall, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw Mrs. Yu sitting in the center, with Ruide and the three sisters sitting on the left, and four empty seats on the right.

As soon as the two came in, everyone's eyes turned to them.

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, the mother and daughter didn't seem to care at all. They didn't greet Mrs. Yu according to the etiquette, but sat down on their own.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the two of them didn't take the initiative to chat with others, they just lowered their heads and exchanged words in a low voice.

Fan Shu looked at the two people in the side room, dressed in brocade clothes and exquisite makeup, discussing literary and ink matters in a low voice, and felt that the two of them were extremely pretentious.

Thinking of them being defiant and unruly after they came in, I was even more angry.

Perhaps because she felt that she already had the backing of Han Mo, Fan Shu raised her airs and trained Aunt Jin: "Aunt Jin is very personable. When she saw the mistress sitting in the main seat, she didn't even say a word of greeting. Is etiquette and shame swallowed by dogs?"

Hua Shu felt extremely embarrassed when she heard her sister's blunt lecture to Aunt Jin. Seeing so many people here, even if there is any dissatisfaction, can't she just say it tactfully?

Xiushu and Ruide wanted to stand up and applaud their sister.

Jinshu heard the sound, glanced up at Huashu, and sneered: "Sister Fanshu's words are interesting. Even if there is something wrong with my mother, it should be brought up by the eldest lady, and it's your turn to yell here? "

With a mocking face, Jin Shu lowered her eyebrows and played with the stove in her hand.

Sorry, I can make money now, my pockets are bulging, and my wings are stiff!I really don't want to pay attention to the monsters in the main room. At worst, everyone will tear their faces and bring Aunt Jin out of this "haunted house".

Jin Shu is not even in the mood to play with them now.

Aunt Jin didn't speak, and drank tea leisurely by herself.

Seeing Jin Shu's arrogant face, Fan Shu trembled with anger, and was about to argue with Jin Shu.But I don't want Mrs. Yu to talk about Fanshu with a straight face: "Fanshu, who taught you to be so unruly!"

Yu's stern reprimand really choked Fan Shu speechless.

Fan Shu could only look at Jin Shu ferociously, wishing to eat her flesh and blood, she secretly swore in her heart that once she married into the Pingyuan Houfu, she would make her life worse than death for the rest of her life.

Jin Shu naturally saw Fan Shu's vicious eyes. Compared with Yu Shi's benevolent and scheming face, the girl in front of her was far from her.

Ignore it, and continue to chat with Aunt Jin about the topic just now.

After waiting for a long time, Cuiwei's mother and son never came, Hua Shu couldn't sit still, and asked: "Why don't I go and see what's going on with Cuiwei and the others? Why haven't they arrived after so long?"

Hearing that Huashu was going to find Cuiwei, Yu hurriedly stopped her: "Don't go. Ruiyi is young, and changing clothes in this winter is troublesome, so it's normal to slow down. You go there and stand there, but let her In a hurry."

Hua Shu thought this was the reason, so she didn't mention it again.

A group of people in the room waited for another time for Cuiwei to burn incense before Qingyi accompanied Cuiwei to here.

Cuiwei bowed to Mrs. Yu and Aunt Jin, and then sat next to Jinshu with Ruiyi in her arms.

When everyone was not paying attention, Qingyi nodded towards Mrs. Yu.

Seeing that everyone was here, Mrs. Yu said with a smile, "I called you here today because I have two things I want to talk to you about."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Shi Yu, waiting for her to continue.

"The first thing is the good news. Xiushu's marriage has been settled. She will get married on the first day of March. She is the third son of Prime Minister Wang's family."

As soon as this remark came out, except for Aunt Jin and Jin Shu, everyone else looked at Xiu Shu with joy in their hearts.

Fanshu was most happy in her heart, she never expected the chrysanthemum banquet back then.It actually led to the great marriage of my sister.

Although Shi Xi, the third son of Prime Minister Wang's family, already has a regular wife, but according to the current situation of the Zhao family, being able to marry into the Prime Minister's family is already a blessing for several lifetimes.

Besides, his first wife Ning Wenchu ​​is also an extremely gentle and virtuous person. His younger sister was chosen by Mrs. Wang herself, so she will definitely not be treated harshly when she marries into the prime minister's house.

Seeing that Xiushu, whom she brought up, was the first to get married, Fanshu was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, she quickly lowered her head and wept quietly.

Hua Shu saw it, and quickly comforted her: "My silly sister, why are you crying because of such a good thing." She took out a handkerchief and wiped away Fan Shu's tears.

The client, Xiushu, lowered her head shyly. She thought that her mother must be extremely proud of herself now, and how elated she was to be able to enter the prime minister's residence.

Xiushu was ecstatic in her heart, imagining the beautiful future.

Cui Wei was also moved to tears, Rui Yi in her arms didn't understand why her mother was crying, so she quickly rubbed her face with her hands, coaxing softly: "Mother, don't cry."

Seeing Ruiyi being so cute and sensible, Cuiwei couldn't hold back her tears: "Ruiyi is good, mother is happy, it's okay."

After Fanshu calmed down, she casually glanced at Jinshu who was sitting opposite.

Seeing Jinshu's normal expression, Fanshu guessed that she must be pretending to be calm at this time, but deep down she must be crazy with jealousy.

But the real situation is that after hearing the news, Jinshu rolled her eyes deep in her heart: Oh, got it, next one.

Seeing that everyone's expressions softened slightly, Yu opened her mouth and said the second thing leisurely: "Actually, after confirming Xiushu's marriage, I felt it in my heart for a long time. We are really old, sons and daughters They also left their side one by one?"

She looked at her four children kindly, and then said: "Everyone knows that we have been a little unhappy because of some trivial things these years, but looking back now, I just feel that all this is like a dream, why should we bother?" No longer clinging to demonic obstacles. The children have grown up, and they are gradually becoming more sensible. I don’t want the unhappiness of the few of us to affect them.”

In the first few sentences, Aunt Jin thought she was acting again, but the last sentence moved her a little.

She never told Jinshu about her grievances with Mrs. Yu, because she didn't want her affairs to affect her.

Jinshu should have her own life, and shouldn't let her accompany him to drown in hatred.

Seeing the expression on Aunt Jin's face, Mrs. Yu sighed: "The children are always related by blood. One prospers and one loses. In this troubled world, sisters and brothers support each other. It's better than holding grudges against each other. I don't know if Mingruo and Cuiwei agree?"

Cui Wei nodded, agreeing.

Aunt Jin glanced at Jinshu next to her and nodded.

Jin Shu lowered her head and played with the copper stove in her hand, thinking that Yu Shi said such a lot of words, most of them were to help Rui De heal his legs.

"Ming Ruo, I will tell you in front of everyone today. Jin Shu's marriage is up to you, and I will never interfere. What do you think?"

When Aunt Jin heard this, a smile appeared on her face.

Mrs Yu has been crushed by her all these years, but she has never been able to get Zhao Chi to put her out of the house, and Zhao Chi has never waited to see Jin Shu, so Jin Shu's marriage has always been in Mrs Yu's hands.

Seeing Jin Shu growing up to the age of marriage day by day, Aunt Jin has been worrying about this matter in her heart.

Now Yu Shi actually took the initiative to release it, which naturally made her extremely excited.

It's just that Aunt Jin knew that Mrs. Yu would not release such a thing so easily, so she asked directly: "What does the eldest lady want me to do?"

Just as Jin Shu expected, Yu also said bluntly: "Let Kang Judgment help Ruide's leg."

Aunt Jin didn't rush to respond, because she knew that it was Jin Shu who had to ask Kang Ting in the end, so she asked Jin Shu, "Jin Shu, can you help Kang Ting to judge the situation?"

Jin Shu knew that Aunt Jin had been worrying about Mrs Yu's control of her marriage, and now that Mrs Yu had spoken out, Aunt Jin must have wanted to seize this opportunity.

In order to reassure Aunt Jin, Jin Shu smiled and answered Yu directly: "Madam, Ruide is my younger brother after all, so it is only natural to help him. It's just that our family can't bother the adoptive father when he is sick. He helped us out of friendship. How about this, the consultation fee should be handed over to the adoptive father in full, which also shows our family's courtesy."

Yu Shi was happy to hear that Jinshu agreed to this matter, but she never thought that the other party would actually talk about money.Although there is a gap from what was expected, it is no longer negotiable.

"Naturally, Jinshu is also thoughtful."

Yu shi forced a smile, then glanced at Ruide.

Ruide immediately got up from the chair, limped to the table, poured two cups of tea, and brought them to Aunt Jin and Jin Shu.

Unexpectedly, he slowly knelt down on the ground, picked up the teacup and handed it to Aunt Jin and Jin Shu respectfully, and then said: "Rui De did a lot of stupid things before, and I hope Auntie and Sister forgive me."

Aunt Jin really didn't expect Mrs. Yu to show such sincerity that he would make his precious son kneel down and admit his mistake.

Is it really asking for peace?

Without further delay, Aunt Jin drank the tea in one gulp.

Seeing that Aunt Jin had drunk it, Jin Shu followed her to drink it without saying a word.

Aunt Jin helped the man kneeling on the ground: "Rui De, go and rest."

Seeing Aunt Jin's actions, Mrs. Yu smiled kindly, and said to the children, "You are all blood of the Zhao family. After you settle down, you will find that the ones who can help you are still your own family members." .May you get along in harmony in the future and don't have any misunderstandings."

Yu's mistress demeanor, which she hadn't seen for a long time, showed up again.

Looking at Mrs. Yu, Jin Shu felt in her heart that there was something strange going on, but she still couldn't figure it out.
