Chapter 231 of the clothes with folded branches and flowers.

Xiaoxiao kept hesitating, how to use a clever method to tell Ruicai about Mr. Wei.

If you tell her directly, both parties will inevitably be embarrassed, especially for such sensitive things. The other party does not want outsiders to know that even their friends are theirs.

In addition, Ruicai was an ancient man after all, and it was hard to imagine how much the ancient girls could accept the matter of taking a concubine.

When I got to school, I realized that Ruicai had taken leave today. I asked about helping with the school and said that he was suffering from heat and had to recuperate at home for two days.

"We really should have visited it, but unfortunately, my aunt and her family came to Beijing today, and it was hard to miss it." Xizi looked regretful.

"What else can we say? I'll just send your greetings." Xiaoxiao said, "Your aunt rarely comes to Beijing. For the elders, don't lack etiquette."

Xizi nodded: "That's all. I'll ask someone to send some heat-proof gifts to your house. You can take them for me."

With Ruicai's disease, Xiaoxiao gave up the idea of ​​telling her father that he had cheated. With Ruicai's temperament, if he knew about this, he would probably make things worse and he would become more sick.

So, after the school was over, after going home for lunch, Xiaoxiao packed up some food and food items to cool down and took a carriage to the Wei family.

Although Zidi Lane is in the city center, it is a narrow alley with tightly decorated houses on both sides, which are not suitable for large families. Especially those with old and young like the Wei family, they should find a spacious place with good air. What's more, the Wei family is not without money! Thinking of this, Xiaoxiao felt depressed and took out a pill of elixir from his purse and ate it, asking himself to try his best not to think about these things anymore. It is serious to make the patient happy.

When I came to Ruicai's house, it was clear and cool. After using enough ice, I also erected a bunch of rosy flower vines. There were no flowers at this time, but just a large area of ​​dark green feathered leaves, which added coolness to the heated house.

"My sister's special feathered rosy is better than the round and heart-shaped ones," Cuncai pulled her down and poured tea himself: "Some people say that this rosy was originally grown by the combination of Teng and the rosy. In my opinion, rosy is better than the rosy parasitic and dodder chinensis!"

"What's so good? It's just something that clings." Ruicai's voice came from the bed tent.

"The eldest sister is awake." Gai Cai walked over, gently lifted the bed tent, and hung it on the copper hook. "I slept for two hours this time. Sister Yingyuan came to see her."

Xiaoxiao walked to the bed and saw Ruicai's sick look on his face: "I was doing well at school the day before yesterday. It must be because you played outside for too long on the Dragon Boat Festival and got caught in the heat." As he said that, he hooked up the entire bed tent to facilitate ventilation. "I heard from Cuncai that your sisters went to the mountain to pick hundreds of medicines yesterday, but they didn't pick much medicinal materials, so you got tired and sick."

Ruicai's face was very bad, and there were heavy dark circles under his big eyes. If you look closely, his eyelids were also a little red and swollen: "It's such a hot day, you're still coming to see me."

Xiaoxiao sat on the embroidery pedestal brought by the girl: "Xizi also said to see you, but her aunt and her family came here today, so they had to come again another day." Holding Ruicai's hand, she felt it was particularly cold, so she said to the girl: "Although it should be a little heat, the room is too cold. The patient's body cannot stand the heat and cold."

The girls nodded and said yes.

Ruicai directly instructed: "Remove some ice, cut the watermelon in the well, and then bring two red beans to Miss Tang. By the way, make a pot of Maofeng tea brought back by the second uncle for Miss Tang to taste."

Xiaoxiao burst into laughter: "Stop, you two sisters have already let me eat and drink all the ones you ordered."

Ruicai smiled as well, but the smile was not as bright as usual: "Then let's talk and let them all go down. Cuncai's homework must have not been done yet, so you two can do your homework."

So, there were only two left in the room, Xiaoxiao and Ruicai.

Xiaoxiao gently fanned her: "I like the Madam Zhu you sent here so tightly. Now people have put mint leaves and chrysanthemums in it, and it smells cool and pleasant!"

"Now, I only let them put some pepper leaves on them, which smells good." Ruicai sat up, leaned on the cushion that Xiaoxiao put on her, picked up Mrs. Zhu rolling on the bed, and when she moved, she felt a scent of pepper.

Xiaoxiao hugged her in her arms and smelled it, and suddenly said, "If you can smell the smell of Mrs. Zhu on a person's bed, you should be the closest best friend in the world."

"You are too arrogant." Ruicai shook his head and smiled, picked up a fan of fine bamboo skin beside his pillow and shook it: "I said to go to your place to see you, but I didn't know if this one is not available or that one is not available, and I never went over to see it."

"That's not easy. When you recover from your illness, go and stay with me for a few days!" Xiaoxiao really hopes that a partner can stay with her for a few days.

"Let me open my eyes and see what the real lady's boudoir looks like." Ruicai smiled, "and that big garden, I'll go for a walk."

Xiaoxiao gently hit her with a fan: "Before drinking sour plum soup, I speak sourly. What's the reason?"

Ruicai said nothing for a while, suddenly his eyes turned red and he held Xiaoxiao's hand tightly: "I just... feel unhappy. I'm most likely angry with this disease today."

Xiaoxiao felt tight when she heard this. Listening to Ruicai's long sigh, a ominous premonition surged into her heart, but she forced a smile on her face: "What's wrong with our eldest lady Wei unhappy? But it's yours again..." As she said that, she gestured three times, and now she hopes that Ruicai's strange third aunt is just a monster.

Ruicai smiled coldly: "She really doesn't have the ability to anger me. The only person who can hurt herself in this world is the closest person."

Xiaoxiao paused and held Ruicai's cold hand tightly: "Who is it?"

Ruicai's tears rolled, and then hurriedly covered her face with a bamboo fan: "It's my confused father!"

Sure enough, everything expected was fulfilled, and paper cannot cover the fire.

"I came back this time and brought a Yangzhou skinny horse and bought her a big house." Xiaoxiao couldn't see the Ruicai expression under the fan, but she could guess a few points.

"Yangzhou thin horse?"

"I don't understand much, it's just the things on the Qinhuai River anyway." Ruicai's disdain in his voice at this moment seemed to be talking about other people's affairs. "The families who specialize in raising thin horses are hung high on the pleasure boats, and wealthy businessmen linger. The identity of thin horses is higher than that of those brothels."

Speaking of which, Liu Rushi, Kou Baimen, and Dong Xiaowan were all considered thin horses in Yangzhou. Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Mr. Wei would bring back a full-time mistress. Full-time, which means that he treated the concubine as a serious career. If he was another woman, he would probably be a shame. If he had a thin horse, he would be dedicated.

Professional players have ranks.

Xiaoxiao cleared her throat pale: "Did you see her? That thin horse."

"Then he dares not!" Ruicai's tone became stronger, and he didn't know who he was referring to, whether it was his father or the thin horse.

Ruicai wiped his eyes with a veil before removing the fan in his hand, but it turned red and swollen peaches.

Time is limited, Xiaoxiao chose a key question and asked: "How many people know about this? Does Aunt know?"

According to Xiaoxiao's judgment, Mr. Wei should have hidden it from his family: he brought a thin horse back to raise it. In Yuanlongchao, he could barely say it, but letting the whole family squeeze into a four-entry courtyard, and building a luxurious mansion for the thin horse was a bit unreasonable.

"He hid it, and thought we didn't know." Ruicai's lips trembled, and she was teasing infinitely: "It was my mother's confidant who told her. Yesterday, my mother secretly sat in a carriage and went to the door of the thin horse to take a look. It was a big house, because there was a large lotus pond inside, so it was named Fengheyuan." As she said that, tears flowed down: "My mother likes lotus flowers the most, and my father once said that she wanted to build her a house with lotus pond."

Xiaoxiao was angry and shook the fan hard: "What did aunt think? Is it pretending not to know? Or..."

"With my mother's nature, it's impossible to think that this has never happened." Ruicai's veil was wiped completely wet, and he changed it to another piece. "Now, only my mother and I know in the whole family. I didn't plan to say it, but now I can't help saying it when I see you... Yingyuan, I feel so uncomfortable in my heart, and I don't dare to cry in front of my mother, she feels even more bitter."

Xiaoxiao felt the feeling of being sympathetic for the first time, and his eyes also turned red: "It's not worth crying for such a father."

"I'm for my mother," Ruicai grabbed Xiaoxiao's arm, "Do you know the saying that the three things are not allowed to go? You can't divorce your wife first, you will be poor and humble first, and then you will be rich."

Xiaoxiao was stunned, and never expected Ruicai to think so far or so pessimistic: "What are you thinking about? What's wrong with your mother? She accompanied him to build such a big career and gave birth to a large group of children. Now she is still at home to serve her mother! If he really dares to abandon his wife, the Chamber of Commerce will not forgive him! Once his reputation becomes bad, his business will be ruined. No one will do business with such an unkind, unrighteous, unfilial and unkind..." He felt that he was ruthless and gradually stopped.

Ruicai didn't think about this before, and wiped her tears: "My mother wants my father to turn back..."

Alas, this has been the case from ancient times to modern times. When a man is romantic and returns home, he is a prodigal son who turns back and doesn’t change his gold. If he changes to a woman, he will never be able to turn back. Thousands of people scold and spit on ten thousand feet, and then he will take ten thousand feet.

Xiaoxiao opened all the curtains, and the pomegranate trees outside the window had already produced small pomegranate bottles, and the flowers were not so dazzling, but instead made the few canna trees next to them look particularly beautiful and charming.
