Lian Jialiang ran to the latrine countless times throughout the night, and finally lay on the bed exhausted.
Mrs. Zhang felt very distressed, thinking that Mrs. Qin was deliberately targeting the mother and son, and crossed Mrs. Qin to seek help from Lian Fangyu.
"Sir, the eldest son had a stomachache last night. Please call a doctor... I know it is unlucky to ask a doctor to come in during the Chinese New Year, but I saw how uncomfortable the eldest son is. His body is more important!"
Lian Fangyu was going to accompany Mrs. Qin back to her parents' home today. Hearing this, he frowned and looked at her.
"Why don't you ask Madam?"
Mrs. Zhang swallowed the words that came to her lips and said nothing, but she said everything. Ms. Qin is the head mother of the house. Although she is more favored by her husband, today, she does not dare to speak openly about Qin. His bad words.
Looking at her expression, Lian Fang Yu didn't understand. She wasn't smart, but she was very petty. She thought Qin was targeting them deliberately?
Qin didn't even take him seriously, how could he deliberately target the mother and son?
"Okay, I'll ask someone to call the doctor later, you go back first."
For such a big event as Mrs. Qin going back to her parents' home to visit relatives, Lian Fangyu would never bring someone he shouldn't have brought to ruin the scenery. The couple packed up and met in the front hall with a tacit understanding. Lian Suisui followed them and got into the back. carriage.
The two uncles and the eldest cousin all went to the border, while Mrs. Qin and Qin Shiqiong remained in the capital.
The eldest lady has not been to her parents' home for a long time. Today she took Qin Shiqiong back to her parents' home. The old lady was the only one left in the Qin Mansion, deserted.
Lian Suisui sat and talked with the old lady for a while, then got up and went to the garden to get some fresh air.
There were many withered lotus leaf stems standing on the surface of the lake, and a thin layer of ice formed on the water.
With a splash, someone threw a stone on the ice. The stone broke through the ice and fell into the water, and the splash hit Lian Suisui.
"Cousin Suisui, I didn't mean it!"
A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old apologized with a smile behind her, but there was no trace of apology on his face.
It turned out to be Qin Mingjun, the cousin of his second uncle's family.
"You didn't go with your second aunt to visit relatives today?"
Qin Mingjun was dressed like jewels, with a white jade band hanging on his forehead. He held a muddy stone in his hand and threw it into the middle of the lake with all his strength.
"My aunt is not here. My mother said she would go back tomorrow. There must be someone at home to greet the guests."
Not surprisingly, she and her mother were guests.
There is actually no problem in saying that. The married daughter threw water, but even Suisui felt that she could hear a smell of alienation.
"Oh, so you were sent by my second aunt to greet me..."
Qin Mingjun frowned.
"No, my mother asked me to stay away from you. I don't know why. But my eldest brother and father are not at home. I am bored by myself. I also want to go to the battlefield, but none of them agree."
The young man looked lonely.
"Why can my eldest brother follow my father and uncle to the battlefield since he was a child, but I can't..."
"Maybe it's because you're young."
Lian Suisui consoled him.
"My eldest brother followed my uncle to the battlefield when he was twelve years old. I will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year!"
It's time to say goodbye, but Qin Hongye hasn't gotten married yet, so he can't say goodbye too early.
Lian Suisui suddenly felt that ancient times were not as rigid as she imagined. Everyone would delay marriage to some extent because of various things. For example, she was nineteen this year, and Chen Wanli was twenty after the New Year!
In comparison, she is not too out of the ordinary.
"Maybe it's to protect you..."
"Third Young Master, the Second Madam is looking for you."
Suisui didn't say a few words to Qin Mingjun before the maid came to call him. He was at a rebellious age and Qin Mingjun's tone was not very good.
"I always use my mother to oppress me. What is my mother asking me to do now?"
In front of Lian Suisui, the maid blessed her body and said implicitly: "The second lady only asked you to come over."
"But I just came out..."
Lian Suisui advised: "Maybe there is something important, you go and take a look."
Qin Mingjun slammed the stone in his hand onto the ice and started to follow the maid.
Lian Suisui laughed at himself at the undulating water.
The reason why the second aunt hates her is probably because the old lady originally asked her to choose one of the two Qin brothers to be her husband, and she was afraid that she would choose Qin Mingjun.
She is not silver, there are people who like her and there are people who hate her.
Today was very boring. After lunch, Lian Fangyu and Mrs. Qin took her back home.
Remembering that he had not been to Miaoshou Tang for a long time, Lian Suisui returned home and asked Xiao Tao to prepare snacks and candies before heading to Miaoshou Tang.
"A father-in-law is very energetic. He never sleeps from childhood to old age. His body is light and his strength is not weak. He can't push it down by pushing it left or right. Guess a toy!"
Qian Hao and Xiao Wei squatted in the yard and played with mud. The afternoon sun was shining in the yard. They were not too cold and got their hands wet with mud.
Xiaowei shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I can't guess."
After raising it for so long, his voice is still hoarse.
"It's a roly-poly!"
Lian Suisui handed them the snacks and candies.
"Sister Sui Sui!"
Qian Hao happily accepted the snack and complained to Lian Suisui.
"Xiao Wei can't even answer the simplest riddle I give. He's so stupid! Even after studying the medicinal materials my grandpa taught me for a long time, he still can't recognize them all."
Xiaowei stood behind him cautiously, not daring to reach out, hanging his head and waiting for Suisui to beat him and scold him.
Unexpectedly, Lian Suisui stuffed a handful of candies into his hand.
"Don't bully Xiao Wei. He's younger than you. It's not that he's not smart, it's that he has never seen a roly-poly."
Only then did Qian Hao think of this possibility, and turned back to Xiao Wei for confirmation.
"Have you really never seen a roly-poly?"
Xiaowei nodded honestly and held the handful of candies motionless until Lian Suisui stuffed the candies so full that they couldn't hold them anymore and fell to the ground. He hurriedly knelt down to pick them up.
Lian Suisui rubbed the top of his head.
"Put it away quickly, be careful that the moneywort will snatch it from you after it's eaten!"
Xiaowei smiled and replied: "I'll give him my share."
So well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.
Lian Suisui sighed in his heart.
"Third sister."
Lian Xiao came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, holding a wooden basin in his hand. There was a washed old hen in the basin.
"Why are you here?"
Before coming, Lian Suisui didn't expect that she would be here.
"I have nothing to do at home, so I thought of making chicken soup for Qianhao and Xiaowei to replenish their health. I'll make the soup early so that I won't delay going home for dinner in the evening."
She didn't expect that even Suisui and the others would return home so soon.
Doctor Wu was sitting in the yard cutting astragalus slices while carrying a bag of astragalus. He didn't even raise his head while they were talking.
Women are indeed better at cooking. Lian Xiaoxiao has made great progress since she couldn't even light a fire at the beginning, but now she can barely cook.
"I don't dare bother Miss Fourth, I'll do it!"
Ning Er filled the water tank with water and ran over to take the work from Lian Xiao's hands.
"It's okay, let me do it, I don't have anything to do..."
If she can't do anything in the house, she will feel like a burden and a useless person. She is very happy to be able to do something for everyone.
Doctor Qian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Then we are in for a treat tonight."
"Third sister, I'm going to the kitchen!"
The sun was just right in the yard. Doctor Qian turned over on his couch and felt very comfortable. He even invited Lian Suisui to sit down and bask in the sun.
"Sister Suisui, are you free? Come play games with us!"
Qian Hao found a copper pot from nowhere and handed Lian Suisui an arrow.
"Let's play pot throwing. Let's compete to see who can throw the most pot!"
The door of Miaoshou Hall was being patted continuously. Neji agreed and went to open the door. The people outside still didn’t stop. They pushed Neji and barged in from the outside, pointing at Lian Sui who was playing pot throwing with a child. Sui scolded: "Okay, it turns out you are in the same group! You have tricked my son so badly!"
