The next day.
These days, Rong Chaoxi sleeps very well and wakes up on time every day.
After breakfast, Rong Chaoxi put on his small schoolbag.
There is a delicate baby embroidered on the bag, which is a replica of Chaoxi.
"You can't bully the teacher anymore today, okay?" Qin Nanjing reminded repeatedly.
Having given birth to four children and being a parent of students for fourteen years, Qin Nanjing finally experienced being called a parent yesterday.
Master Hu came from a family of scholars and literature, and was proficient in three languages. When facing his friends day and night, he actually used a fourth language.
Poor elegant young man, he was tortured into a dancing madman.
"Chaoxi didn't bully the teacher, it's the teacher who is too stupid. He recited the first sentence and didn't know the second one, so Chaoxi helped him complete it." Rong Chaoxi pouted with grievance.
The teacher often forgot her articles and every time she had to ask her classmates to stand up and tell her.
People don’t know that he was also punished by copying books.
Why didn't he copy it himself?
"He was asking a question, not..."
"Madam, something happened." The servant ran back shouting, with a hint of excitement on his face.
"What's the fuss about? You've been in the mansion for so long, but you still haven't learned to be steady." Yan Zhu glared at the servant.
The servant timidly lowered his head and spoke slowly and steadily, "Madam, there was a commotion at the Annan Marquis's residence just now. I heard that the old lady fell in the courtyard last night and is unconscious. We have sent for the imperial physician, but we don't know yet what her condition is."
"I heard from the servants in the Marquis' Mansion that they found blood all over the floor this morning. I'm afraid he's not going to make it..."
"There's such a good thing—ah!" Someone exclaimed in surprise and quickly covered his mouth.
"Ahem..." The servants in the general's mansion always loved to hear these gossips about the marquis' mansion.
[Could it be that the old woman found out and died of rage?] Rong Chaoxi lowered one shoulder strap of his schoolbag.
[Will she treat me to a feast when she dies?]
[As a filial son, I won't go, but I can join the feast.]
I heard that when an elderly lady died in a wealthy family, not only was there a sumptuous banquet, but there was also a funeral performance. It was quite lively.
[Oh, by the way, if someone dies in the family, I can take seven days off. The old woman is my family now...]
Rong Chaoxi put the schoolbag back on the chair steadily with a burning look in his eyes.
Qin Nanjing was almost irritated by her inner thoughts.
Rong Yuanyou also made the same move.
After all, I've called her grandma for several years, so let's just treat her as a family member for seven days.
"Why did you fall suddenly? Have you asked for details?" Yan Zhu asked hurriedly when he heard that this was a big deal.
The servant wiped his sweat and said, "The Marquis's Mansion has been in trouble recently. The old lady often can't sleep at night and will go for a walk in the yard."
"Last night, a maid was stealing something and ran into the old lady. The maid also fell into the lake and drowned."
"The Marquis' Mansion lost its income, and many of the servants were dismissed. No one noticed overnight. Or maybe it was this morning when I didn't see her get up, so I went in and saw she was gone, so I went to look for her."
"When I found it, I was half cold."
[Oh, oh. Second Aunt must have been sleeping with that guy, and the old woman caught them in the act.]
[The old lady cherishes her life very much, how could she go out without someone?]
It was Second Aunt's vest that fell off first.
[I want to eat melons, I really want to eat melons...]
There are more than just Rong Chaoxi who want to eat melons.
"Ms. Hu sleeps with a man", "caught in the act", these words are so exciting no matter how you hear them!
She cleared her throat and coughed dryly, her face looking dignified but her tone quite sad.
"Although we were driven out of our home and crossed off the family tree, in the eyes of the world, we are still the ones who raised us."
"The old marquis had his hand crushed and broken yesterday at the gate of the general's mansion. And now the old lady has been in such a serious situation. A visit here will actually help silence the gossips and prevent them from accusing the general of being unfilial."
Qin Nanjing stood up and said seriously.
"Abai has to prepare for tomorrow's palace banquet, Xuqing left early in the morning, and Ayou and Chaoxi have to go to school."
"so……"
"Only your mother will go on this journey for you."
Qin Nanjing's eyes sparkled, "Eat melon, eat melon, eat melon!"
After Rong Xuqing helped to manage the family business, she had plenty of free time. She was bored recently and was looking for something to have fun, and now it was delivered to her doorstep.
"Mom, I want to go eat too..." Rong Chaoxi paused, "I want to show my filial piety to my grandmother and pray for her safety in person..."
[Fake, I want to eat melon too! ]
[I want to be at the forefront of eating melons...]
"Mom, I also want to be filial to my grandmother..."
Rong Yuanyou and Rong Chaoxi looked at their mother expectantly.
Qin Nanjing didn't want to take them with her because the children were still young and it would be unlucky if they saw a dead body.
But with Chaoxi's personality, he would definitely run away secretly.
"Never mind, come with me."
"Abai, just stay at home and rest assured. Mother will comfort your grandmother for you." Qin Nanjing waved her hand.
They walked out of the house holding one of them in each hand.
Rong Yubai: Is it possible? I want to go too.
"Mo Qi, go to the palace and ask for leave for the young master and young lady." Yan Zhu gave the order and followed happily.
When they arrived at the Annan Marquis's Mansion, Yanzhu went forward and knocked on the door.
The servant opened the door and said with surprise, "Sister Yanzhu, why are you back?"
Looking behind him, he saw the eldest lady.
The servant's eyes filled with tears of excitement. "Madam, without you, our lives are so miserable..."
There are more than twenty servants in the mansion, and nine masters are waiting to serve them. Each person does three jobs, and their monthly salary is half of what it used to be. They are busy every day.
"Alas...you have suffered so much..." Yanzhu patted him comfortingly.
"I heard that the old lady fell down and is still unconscious. Madam, please come and take a look on her on behalf of the general." Yan Zhu smiled and handed over the reward silver.
