Such a big thing happened to Geng Cheng, which was a big deal in the uncle's house, but looking at the entire Ningdu, no one knew about it, but his yamen knew about it.
Some people come to care, and some are gloating. Everyone has different attitudes, but they have the same understanding of the outcome of this matter, that is, Geng Cheng will not be able to go to the Yamen in the future. If he does not take the initiative to resign, he will have to be persuaded to quit. .
On the third day after Geng Cheng was injured, Geng Shulou came back.
Geng Xingshuang only knew that Geng Shulou stayed in Yide Courtyard for more than an hour. Because Liang Ben was guarding Yide Courtyard and there was no suitable place behind Geng Xun's study room, Jinbao could not hear their conversation.
However, in the following days, Geng Shulou did not do much. Although he did not go to the academy, except for visiting Geng Cheng in the backyard every day, he spent most of his time studying in the study.
As for the progress of Geng Xun's investigation, even Xia and Yao didn't know because Jinbao didn't hear anything from them. Geng Xingshuang could only ask Zhanpei and the others to pay more attention to the situation outside.
As for Zhan Pei's guess, the first group of people to attack Geng Cheng at that time might be related to her third uncle and her father. Geng Xingshuang has also been observing her father a lot recently, but his father is often not in the house and always outside. She was very conscientious in helping Geng Cheng find a famous doctor, and so was Geng Yan, so she had no way of testing him.
But that's okay, I can't see it myself, and I hope my uncle, his wife, and the second bedroom can't see anything either.
As time went by, Geng Cheng's injury stabilized, but Geng Wen, Geng Yan, and even the entire uncle's house searched everywhere and found no famous doctor or good prescription that could repair the hamstring and hand tendon.
Geng Xingshuang often heard that there were shouts and curses coming from Yinghe Courtyard, sometimes mixed with one or two sarcasm.
The former is Geng Cheng's unwillingness and the latter is Yao's belated counterattack.
Geng Xingshuang met Yao several times in the house and found that she was not depressed because of Geng Cheng's paralysis, but her complexion was much better.
"It seems like the person who broke the second uncle's hamstring did something good. When the second uncle became like this, apart from the grandparents and the first cousin who were sad, even the second aunt and the fourth sister seemed to be sad. It’s just a superficial appearance, not really sad.”
On this day, Geng Xingchen finally drew a batch of shoe styles and made samples herself. What happened next, because the business in the shop was getting busier and busier now, and she and the maids from Wutong Courtyard could no longer satisfy Ming Chang. The supply was provided by the pavilion, so part of the shoe-making work was handed over to the embroidery workshop, so that Geng Xingchen could relax a lot.
Geng Xingchen, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, ran to Qingcui Courtyard to talk to Geng Xingshuang. Of course, what he talked about the most was the matter with the second room.
"I wonder if my grandfather found out who attacked the second uncle that night. Did the third uncle say anything?"
The third uncle could not hold back his words even more than her father. Geng Xingshuang thought about what might have been revealed in his words regarding the attack on the Luxun River that night.
Geng Xingchen shook his head, "My father is quite concerned about the second uncle. He always scolded him in the past. I thought that if the second uncle is like this now, my father will definitely gloat about his misfortune and say something like he deserves it. I didn't expect that because of the second uncle's matter, Not only did he go out every day to find out where there were famous doctors who could repair tendons in his hands and hamstrings, but he also often visited his grandparents and asked about the progress of his investigation. However, my father said that although my grandfather used all the connections at his disposal, even Liang Liang My uncle also went out to check around, but so far, nothing has been found."
Geng Xingshuang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. The longer time passed, the harder it became to find out.
Soon, May 22nd arrived. The Liu family did not send anyone to carry Geng Xingyu. Geng Xingshuang and others breathed a sigh of relief. However, according to the information that Jinbao found out, Geng Cheng got angry again. It was Geng Shu. He went in upstairs to persuade him to stay.
"I heard that the second wife has moved to the east wing, and I ordered Miss Zhang and Miss Ni to take turns taking care of the second master. Miss Zhang and Miss Ni will be scolded every day, and Miss Ni will bring out some wounds every time she goes there."
Jinbao's greatest pleasure now is to inquire about the second wife's affairs. Miss Zhang and Miss Ni are Geng Cheng's two first-in-laws. Probably Yao also knows that Geng Cheng has gone too far before. If Aunt Peng is asked to take care of Geng Cheng , I didn’t know what would happen, so I used two common rooms.
Geng Xingshuang was painting, and she was just listening attentively, but after hearing this, her hand holding the pen paused slightly.
"You mean, Zhang didn't get beaten?"
Jinbao nodded, "That's what the little maids at Yinghe Courtyard said. When they were talking about this, some people also raised questions, saying that they might have all been beaten, but Miss Zhang hid it well and was not seen by anyone, but there was A little maid who specializes in serving tea said that when she goes in to deliver tea every day, if she encounters Miss Ni waiting in the room, the second master will scold her more harshly. If it is Aunt Zhang, the second master will remain cold-faced and silent most of the time. .”
"So, second uncle likes Aunt Zhang more?"
Geng Xingshuang had never asked about these things in the second house before. After all, as a niece, why did she ask about these things.
But now this matter makes her a little confused. Her second uncle is like this, and it is really unexpected that he can watch and order the dishes for his two cousins.
"Girl, I also thought it was strange, so I asked specifically. In the past, the second master treated the two wives in the same way, but not long ago, the second master obviously preferred to go to Aunt Zhang's place."
"Not long ago?"
"A little maid made some calculations, and it was probably around the time when the third girl recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan."
Does this matter still have something to do with Geng Xingshui? Is it a coincidence or does it really matter?
"Girl, Lu Xuan just came over and went to my wife's room." Hua Lian entered the room to report.
Geng Xingshuang was about to wait for Lu Xuan to leave and then go to the main room to ask if Mrs. Bo wanted to do anything else. Jinzhan came over to invite her to the main room.
"Mrs. Bo said that tomorrow we will go to Yaowang Temple to burn incense and pray for your second uncle. Let us all go."
As soon as Geng Xingshuang entered the house, Ruan told Luxuan the purpose of coming to Qingcui Courtyard.
“Don’t grandma not quite believe this?”
Unlike many old ladies from wealthy families, Mrs. Bo does not often go to the temple to offer incense, not even once a year. The only time she goes is at the invitation of Xiao Xia, the old lady of the Zhu family.
"From what Luxuan said, it was originally proposed by your fourth sister. She wanted to go to the Yaowang Temple with the third girl to burn incense and pray for your second uncle as a sign of filial piety. Madam Uncle probably has no other choice. Please come in these days. We have invited dozens of doctors, including all the famous doctors in Ningdu City. Now we are looking for an imperial doctor. However, given the current situation of our family, we cannot hire an imperial doctor, so we can only try to pray to the gods and Buddhas. ”
"A dead horse is a living doctor!" Geng Xingshuang blurted out.
Ruan gave her an angry look, "You can't say this outside."
"I know." Geng Xingshuang said coquettishly, "I've always been the most reliable, and it's not like you don't know that, mother."
