Ten days passed by in a flash. It was already the twelfth lunar month, and it was snowing heavily. Everyone in Qin's family was in Mrs. Qin's room. Everyone looked panicked and a little sad.
In the past ten days, the old lady has not woken up even once. The golden needle has been pricked and the talisman has been drawn, but she does not wake up. Only the shallow breathing proves that she is still alive.
When Qin Liuxi walked in, everyone looked at her with red eyes and did not dare to speak.
“Go and prepare a bowl of shredded chicken noodles, add an egg, ginseng soup and qihuang and they will bring it over in a while. Then clean up the old lady and get dressed.” Qin Liuxi looked at Wang and ordered.
Wang's throat was choked and tears welled up in her eyes.
“Woo…”
I don’t know who is whimpering.
"I'll go get the kitchen ready." Qin Meiniang couldn't bear it, so she turned around and walked out. Naturally, she had to leave the cleaning work to her daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Wang also calmed down and asked Ju'er to fetch water. She also asked Nanny Ding to fetch the clothes she had prepared, and asked all the children to wait outside.
Qin Liuxi didn't leave. She needed to pull out the golden needle, and she could only do it when.
Wang stepped forward and whispered: "Xi'er, do you want Yan'er to come over too?"
“I want it, but not now, wait a little longer, Third Uncle and the others are coming soon.”
Mrs. Gu's hand hit the basin, and she turned her head to look at Qin Liuxi in shock. Her eyes were surprised and happy. She didn't have any hallucinations, did her husband and the others come back?
Wang was also a little surprised and glanced at Mrs. Qin: "That's good."
At this time, Qin Boqing and others were sitting in the carriage with pale faces, looking very haggard. They had been traveling day and night these days, and they were almost vomiting blood.
That is to say, Feng Chou is here to protect them with demonic power. Otherwise, they would have fallen apart long ago, and Cao, a fat-bellied woman, would not even think about it.
“We’re here.” Feng You looked at the city gate and snorted.
He had to put in a lot of effort along the way, not only to protect these fragile mortals, but also to use sorcery to shrink the ground to an inch, and to deceive the gatekeepers into reading the customs clearance documents. Only by passing the customs all the way could he shorten the time by more than half. Time journey back to Licheng.
It’s quite tiring.
Qin Boqing also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two big characters of Licheng. He couldn't bear to go on the road any longer.
Qin Liuxi pulled out the golden needles from the old lady's body and fed her some ginseng soup. After a while, the old lady woke up.
"Mother."
"Mother."
“grandmother.”
Everyone gathered around, shouting with red eyes.
The old lady blinked lightly, turned her head slowly, saw the person in front of her, and slightly curled her lips: "I'm hungry."
Everyone's heart was pounding, but they pretended to smile and said nice things.
Xie pushed Qin Mingqi and Qin Mingchun up and said, "You guys can carry a book for grandma."
Qin Mingchun wiped his tears and said, "Grandma, let me recite arithmetic for you. My husband praised me for learning well."
"Okay." The old lady smiled and looked around, looking at the door. There was a bit of expectation in her eyes, but also a bit gloomy.
"Mother, our Qin family has been rehabilitated. Dad and Bohong have returned to Beijing to thank you, and the third child and the others are coming back soon." Mrs. Wang told the story of the Qin family's redress.
“Here comes the noodles.” Qin Meiniang herself brought a bowl of shredded chicken noodle soup, with a sun-coated egg lying on it, a few chopped green onions, and two green vegetable seedlings that were rare in winter.
Wang took it and served it to the old lady herself. She also took in half a bowl of ginseng soup and saw her cheeks flushed and her chest getting more sore.
The old lady sat on the bed, covered with a quilt, looked around at the people in the room, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Since the saint has forgiven me, the dowry that can be returned to me will be 40% of the total property. The house is divided into 30%. For my jewelry, each of the female family members will choose one. The rest will be sent to Yingniang, and she will be given 2,000 taels to put at the bottom of the box. Mei Niang will be given 1,000 taels to put at the bottom of the box. The three of them will each choose three kinds of jewelry. Just think about it."
"Mom, don't say this, everything will get better." Wang said with choked sobs.
Qin Meiniang also said: "Yes, mother, don't say such depressing words. I don't want your things, you can keep them for yourself."
The old lady patted Wang's hand: "Everyone will die, and I should have died a long time ago. If I were in Beijing, I would have distributed the things well, but now I don't know how much I can get back, so I can only keep everything simple. Mei Mother, don’t blame me for being partial, there is a difference between a concubine and a concubine.”
"Mother, I don't blame you." Qin Meiniang knelt down and cried, "You can give it to whomever you want, I don't blame you."
The old lady tugged her lips, looked at Qin Liuxi behind the crowd, waved to her, and said, "Thank you for your hard work these past two years."
Qin Liuxi nodded: "The Qin family deserves it."
The Qin family gave her this physical life, and what she can get now depends entirely on this cause and effect.
The old lady said to Wang, "Give her the preserve shop."
Qin Liuxi raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Xie and others were shocked and left Qin Liuxi alone?
She stepped forward and said: "Mother, give Xi Yatou a girl, is it...?"
"I will give it to whomever I say." The old lady said forcefully: "The preserve shop was originally built with the money given by Wang's natal family, and Xi Yatou gave the recipe, so that the whole family can have food and drink. , without her protection, do you really think that just a few women and children can safely run the shop?"
Xie did not dare to speak.
"I have made up my mind, the preserve shop will be given to Xi Yatou." The old lady looked at Mr.
Xie immediately said: "Mother, don't be upset, my daughter-in-law is wrong."
"You are wrong." The old lady was a little depressed: "I was wrong too."
Everyone felt an indescribable feeling of sadness.
The old lady didn't say anything more, she just looked at the door, pursed her lips and waited foolishly.
Wang's eyes were wet, and she looked at Qin Liuxi. When she nodded, she turned away and tears fell down.
Qin Liuxi walked towards the door and said to Chen Pi, "Go and carry Qin Mingyan over."
Chen Pi ran out immediately.
The east corner door of the Qin Mansion was already open. Li Cheng was waiting there. When he saw the carriage coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet it, regardless of who was getting off, and said: "Hurry, the old lady is waiting for you."
Qin Boqing's feet went weak for a moment, his eyes caught sight of the white lantern placed on the ground behind the door, he yelled and ran towards the backyard.
The old lady who had been lying down closed her eyes slightly and breathed slowly. Suddenly she opened her eyes, looked hard at the door, and said hoarsely: "I seem to hear the third child's voice."
“Grandma, Yan’er is back.” Qin Mingyan had already been helped in. He knelt beside the old lady’s bed and grabbed her hand.
"Yan'er." The old lady looked pleased and looked at the door. A thin figure came in, her third son.
“Mother.” Qin Boqing rushed over and knelt down beside the bed, followed closely by Qin Boguang and Qin Mingmu.
The old lady's eyes were kind, and she glanced at them one by one, with reluctance and relief in her eyes. She raised her hand and touched their faces: "It's great that they are all back. Mom can go now with peace of mind!"
Everyone fell to their knees and sobbed.
