In Sanli City, Dongzi was fine after two acupuncture sessions.
Yan Li carried two bags of snacks and two pounds of sugar and went to visit the child.
"I didn't expect to scare the child at the time. I'm really sorry."
Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are not unforgiving masters. Seeing that the child is fine, they will naturally not vent their anger on him again.
"Oh, I can't blame you for this.
"There's nothing wrong with you killing pigs in the kitchen, it's all because of this kid running around and scaring yourself like that!
"Fortunately, Mrs. Tong is very skilled in medicine. You don't know that she is even sick herself, but she still insists on getting up and giving acupuncture to this brat of mine!"
Aunt Chen said and slapped her son on the butt.
"Let's see if you dare to run around again!"
Yan Li rubbed Dongzi's head and said, "When you go to the kitchen from now on, remember to go through the front door and don't go back."
"I know, Uncle Yan." Dongzi responded, but he was still thinking about the beautiful fairy sister who gave him the acupuncture.
The fairy sister was so beautiful that he didn't even feel the pain of acupuncture. It was done in the blink of an eye, and he hadn't seen enough yet!
I don’t know if Sister Fairy’s illness has recovered.
Dongzi ate his fingers while thinking about whether he should go to the old lady's yard after lunch. Maybe he could meet a kind-hearted maid sister who would take him in to play!
Yan Li sat for a while and then stood up and left.
Sanshu Chen quickly picked up the things he had brought and insisted on taking them back: "Dongzi, isn't it okay? Where can I get your things? Take them back quickly for your mother-in-law and children to eat."
Hearing this, Yan Li hurriedly quickened his pace and said, "Third brother, my mother-in-law asked me to buy it!
"Besides, I've brought everything, so there's no reason to take it away again."
Yan Li said, taking three steps in succession and then running out the door.
As a result, he bumped into people standing outside.
"Hey, who is it? What is the tree stump like standing at the door doing?"
Yan Li shouted angrily.
But when he took two steps back to see who he bumped into, he immediately gave up.
"Mother Dong, why is it you!" Yan Li said cautiously, "It's all because I walked too fast, didn't see you, and didn't hurt you, right?"
"It's okay." Aunt Dong's attention was obviously not on Yan Li. When she saw Uncle Chen chasing him out carrying something, she went to meet him.
"Mother Dong, you..." Uncle Chen was a little confused.
He didn't know what the old lady's nanny was doing when she suddenly came to his house?
I don’t usually have much friendship with her!
"I heard that Dongzi was frightened, so I came here to take a look." Aunt Dong said, handing the things she was carrying to Uncle Chen, and walked straight in.
Although Yan Li also thought it was strange that Aunt Dong came to visit Dongzi, but when he thought about it, maybe it was the old lady who ordered it, he stopped worrying and took the opportunity to run away quickly.
"Hey, Yan Li...Mother Dong..."
Sanshu Chen held two gifts in his hand and looked outside and then inside the door. He didn't know for a moment whether he should chase Yan Li or go home to entertain Aunt Dong.
But seeing Yan Li disappear in an instant, Uncle Chen had no choice but to turn around and go home.
Aunt Chen San had already poured tea for Aunt Dong, and the two of them sat across from each other and talked.
Aunt Dong called Dongzi to her side and asked with concern: "Little guy, how are you? Is there anything else that feels wrong?"
Aunt Chen stabbed her son in the back, signaling him to call someone quickly.
"Mother Dong." Dongzi called out, and then said, "It's okay."
Seeing that he was mumbling and unable to say the next words, Aunt Chen took over and said, "Thanks to Mrs. Tong for being so knowledgeable, otherwise we would have never even heard of him having such a problem."
"Who says it's not the case!" Aunt Chen was still frightened when she mentioned the previous incident.
At that time, everyone said that the child must have been hit by evil spirits, so she
I also went to the Buddhist temple to pray all night.
"Mother Dong, I owe this to you.
"If you hadn't given us some advice, how would we have known how to ask Madam Tong!
"You saved Dongzi's life, and we both discussed going back to buy something to thank you!
"Who knew you were still carrying things to see Dongzi? How does that make you?"
Aunt Dong immediately frowned when she heard this. She subconsciously looked around to make sure there were no outsiders in the Chen family and said, "I've told you before. God knows this and the earth knows it. It's okay if you know and I know.
"I'm telling you this because I can't bear to see Dongzi delaying his illness at such a young age.
"But you also know that Mrs. Tong has worked very hard to take care of the old lady these days, and she is also tired and sick.
"If people know that it was me who gave you the idea, what should I do if the old lady blames me?"
"Yes, yes, look at my mouth!" Aunt Chen nodded repeatedly, "I saw that there were no outsiders at home, so I forgot for a moment.
"Don't worry, I'm very strict with my words outside. I will never cause you any trouble."
Aunt Dong finally regained her smile and chatted with Aunt Chen.
The first few questions I asked were all about Dongzi, but the more I asked about it, the more I asked about things related to Mrs. Tong.
But firstly because she was someone close to the old lady, and secondly because it was her idea to go to Mrs. Tong for help.
Therefore, San Aunt Chen could be said to answer all her questions without any defense.
Aunt Dong stayed at Chen's house for less than half an hour and left after she really had nothing to ask.
After Sanshu Chen sent her out, he asked with some confusion: "What's wrong with Aunt Dong today? She actually talked to you so much."
Before Aunt Chen could say anything, Dongzi, who had been playing on the bed in the room, had already rushed to say, "Mother Dong didn't say anything. She just said it to my mother."
Uncle Chen asked his wife curiously: "What did you say?"
"We were just chatting about Mrs. Tong!" Aunt Chen said disapprovingly, "The old lady hid the person very well and didn't let anyone leave the Shouanyuan.
"So even Aunt Dong has never seen this famous Lady Tong. If it were me, I would be very curious!"
When Sanshu Chen heard this, he thought this was strange.
"Isn't Aunt Dong the personal nanny next to the old lady? Madam Tong can't come out, but she can go in. Why do I have to ask you?"
"You're an old man, isn't this how women chat with each other!" Aunt Chen San said unhappily when asked, "If it weren't for Aunt Dong, Dongzi wouldn't know where he would be now!
"You even brought your things to see Dongzi today. Why are you so busy with so many things?"
Uncle Chen thought the same thing. He occasionally heard Aunt Chen chatting with other women in the city, and it seemed that they were all trivial things.
Someone's mother-in-law quarreled with her daughter-in-law, someone's couple started fighting, someone's men went out to stir up trouble.
We can talk about one thing over and over for an entire afternoon.
Thinking of this, Uncle Chen stopped worrying about these things. He opened the oil paper bag, took out a piece of snack, stuffed it into Dongzi's mouth, which was already very greedy, then rewrapped the rest and put it in the stove together with the sugar. Store in a cupboard out of reach of children.
For families like Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, although they rely on the Chen family to live their lives, they are a little wealthier than the common people outside.
But these snacks and sugar are also rare things that I am reluctant to open and eat.
Dongzi took the snack, but did not eat it in a hurry like usual. Instead, he carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it in his arms. Then he jumped off the ground, pulled on his shoes and ran out.
When Aunt Chen saw it, she was so angry that she chased after her and shouted, "You are so smart, aren't you? You started running around again!"
"I'm going to play with Shuanzi and the others!" Dongzi had already run far away at this moment, and these words came from afar.
Sanshu Chen said with a smile: "Aren't all boys of this age like this? It's not good to be active and active? It's better than lying in bed sickly.
"I guess I got some snacks and want to show off to other kids, so just let them be!"
Aunt Chen thought that this was also the case, so she left it alone.
But what they didn't expect was that Dongzi was not looking for his friends at all, but the destination was Mrs. Chen's Shou'an Courtyard.
But just halfway through, he saw Aunt Dong standing next to a small forest and spinning around.
Dongzi didn't take it seriously at first, but he knew that Aunt Dong was not as easy to talk to as other maids and sisters, so he thought he would go there while she was away.
But then I saw Nanny Wu walking over looking forward and backward.
"Why don't you go back and talk about it? Why do you have to talk about it here?"
"It will be so crowded when we go back. I'm afraid the walls have ears." said Grandma Dong, pushing Grandma Wu into the woods first.
Although Dongzi felt that it had nothing to do with her, she also knew that they didn't want to be seen like this.
In order to avoid being scolded, he decided to take a detour and not go through the woods here.
Unexpectedly, when he walked around to the other side of the grove and was about to leave, another person came over sneakily.
Dongzi couldn't escape, so he had to stick his body behind a big tree.
The person who came was none other than Tingxiu, the maid in Xue Shanya's room.
She tiptoed to the edge of the woods and stood only two or three steps away from Dongzi, listening to the voices of Aunt Dong and Aunt Wu talking in the woods.
I heard Aunt Dong say: "Are you going to ask for money from your cousin again?"
"What do you call this? It was all given to me by my cousin." There was a hint of guilt in Grandma Wu's voice.
She didn't expect that Aunt Dong called her here to talk about this matter, and she immediately no longer felt that this place was remote.
"You clearly know that the old lady has no intention of making my cousin my granddaughter-in-law. If you are so reckless, aren't you afraid that your cousin will settle the score with you later?"
Tingxiu's heart skipped a beat after hearing this.
Could it be that what Nanny Wu usually told the girl was a lie? Just to coax the girl into giving her money?
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Mother Wu say disapprovingly: "I didn't tell my cousin that the old lady wanted Master Jingke to marry her.
"Just her, let alone the old lady and Master Jingke, I don't like them either!
"She is a young girl who has not yet left the court. She comes to me every day to inquire about Master Jingke. What shame does she have?
"Besides, Master Jingke will be back soon, will I be afraid of her?"
