C20 A Crushing Defeat

Xincheng River, the dark green river flowed eastward, the bright sunlight was warm and warm, the riverbank was covered in trees like a shade, and the river flowers were like flames.

The Zhang servants were not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

They were all panicking. Some of them shouted that they would go to the Yi Pi Tang to get a doctor, while others said that their second grandmother had probably broken her leg and needed a sedan to come over to fetch her. Some of them were overjoyed, because their second grandmother had finally found someone who was reciting Amitabha.

It turned out that Hua Hanyun had followed the ditch all the way to the edge of Xincheng River, only then did her instinct to survive allow her to climb on the protruding rocks near the riverbank. When her eyesight had recovered, she realized that she had fallen into a ditch.

A few women pulled her up from the gutter. She was wearing a golden silk bun and a five phoenix hairpin. She was wearing a red coat, and under her dress was a flowery crepe dress. Her facial features were beautiful and natural.

But now that she was in the water, her makeup was in disarray. The phoenix had become a drowned chicken, and her throat was hoarse. Where was the beauty of a second grandmother?

When the sedan chair came, a group of servants carried her to the sedan chair, and the servants brought her back to Zhang Mansion.

… ….

After the great fire, West Corner House was still the same as before. Lu Zheng's days were leisurely and at ease, with a special sense of order.

The news of Xu Liang bringing people to rob the Zhang Family's Eldest Grandma and burning the Fortune Restaurant in the streets, to burn Zhang's brother and sister, was hotly discussed in Yangzhou city.

Xu Liang, Zhang De, Zhang Tai and the others were sent to jail, while Fortune Restaurant and a dozen other burnt shops handed over papers to the Yangzhou Mansion's yamen. That was over ten thousand taels of silver and over a dozen lives, the Zhang Family could not easily settle this matter with money.

He had warned Qi Biao, allowing him to see the chaos on D Street once they started, before taking the opportunity to create chaos. It was basically just shouting, shouting, and so on, who would have thought that Qi Biao had set a fire in the backyard of Fortune Restaurant.

This chaos was too big, to the point that it required Xu Liang and a few other big brothers to fight for it, causing it to fail. The atmosphere inside and outside of the Zhang family was extremely weird, the truth was, no one dared to bring it up anymore.

The truth could not be told, and no one believed it. The key point was that the shopkeepers of the dozen or so shops that had lost their families could not believe it. The Zhang Family's role as the victim could be taken away, but once they changed their identity and provoked the wrath of others, they would be in great trouble.

From this point of view, some of the people of the Zhang Clan were just dumbstruck. They could not speak of their bitterness, and could not bear it at all.

Ever since the matter with the Fuyun House that day, she had been bedridden and unable to leave the courtyard. There were so many things in the family that she was responsible for, her second grandmother's health was not good, and her family's matters could not be delayed. Cui Hong, who was in Hua Hanyun's room, had taken care of a lot of her worries.

In autumn cinnamon garden, the girls and wives did not dare to enter Second Young Madam's house. Cui Hong waited on her and sat at the head of the bed as she said in a low voice:

"Granny, the Old Ancestor sent someone to bring back the chicken soup today, and also gave you three of his Consonance Pills. He said he wants you to properly heal up!"

"Hm!" What news do you have outside today? "

Cui Hong said: "I heard from the servants outside that Fuyun House Tong Manager had passed the bill over to the prefecture s yamen, and Master Zhou had recounted the losses from the fire. He said that there were a total of twelve stores that had been burnt, and that it was worth about ten thousand taels of silver.

It's true that the silver hole cannot be filled, but the lives of more than a dozen people are even more troublesome. Xu Liang and the others were directly sent to the Sky Prison.

"Over ten thousand taels of silver?" Hua Hanyun took a deep breath and asked: "Hao Geer, where are Bao Yiguniang and the rest?"

"Hao Geer went to the school, she hasn't returned for four or five days, and from what little girl Qing Yao said, Hao Geer is going all out, and is planning to use her full strength next year. I don't think she will return in the near future!"

"He can actually hide in seclusion and escape just like that!" Hua Hanyun said.

"Bao Yiguniang has not changed from before, it's just that she's going to Eldest Grandma more frequently. Eldest Grandma is too shocked, the Old Ancestor sends soup over everyday, let's compare it to yours!"

Hua Hanyun let out a light sigh, and said: "Xu Liang, Zhang Tai, Zhang De, these scum, should be cut into a thousand pieces. They want to hurt Eldest Grandma, and yet they want to harm me! Such a heartless person, is my Zhang family going to use money? I think the old master wants to hack them into pieces too! "

Cui Hong, "Ah …" She immediately covered her mouth with her hands.

Hua Hanyun frowned: "What's wrong? Cui Hong? "

Cui Hong's face reddened, and said: "It's fine, eating dinner at night is a little depressing."

Hua Hanyun sat up from the bed and helped him get dressed properly. She said: "From now on, eat less of those jars and jars of food.

"Second Grandma, is your body alright now?" Cui Hong said.

Hua Hanyun rubbed her temples, and said: "It's not that efficient, there are so many things piled up there every day, as long as I'm not dead, I will still go and do them. The old lady used to tell me that it wasn't easy to take care of the house, and now I finally understand what the old lady was saying.

It was difficult! I've only been lying on the bed for a few days now, and everything is already piled up in one go. You take the lead, we'll go take a walk at the Eldest Grandma, she's so delicate, and can't compare to me.

Cui Hong was extremely happy in her heart, silently chanting the Amitabha Buddha, thinking that her second grandmother had finally recovered.

When he first came back, he had been in a daze for two days without eating or drinking. It was enough to scare people to death. Then she started to eat, but she didn't say anything. Until today, she seemed to have fully recovered.

"Second Grandma, you …."

After Cui Hong said that, she pouted, it seemed like the Liang Shi family had come to the courtyard.

Seeing this, Liang Shi immediately came over, and said with a flattering smile: I know Second Young Madam's health is not good, the family just happened to bring back a bunch of fresh goods from the village, it's not worth much, what's rare is the taste of the family, so I'll give you some kitchen food, and let you have a taste of it.

"Sister-in-law Liang, how much can I eat?" Oh right, don't forget to send some over to Eldest Grandma! "

"It has already been delivered!"

Hua Hanyun said: "I say, Liang's sister-in-law, we can forget about this matter in the future. With regards to the matters of the men, there are two of them in the house, the master and the third master are holding hands, this time I want to take care of them, I looked at Xu Liang, Liu Song, Zhang De, Zhang Tai and the others who are out there acting unreasonably, but they have a close relationship with our Zhang family, speaking of this, they are all our own brothers.

I wanted to put them at home so that they could accept the rules of my Zhang family and be decent people. It could also be considered as a form of respect for Eldest Grandma, Aunt Xu and the others.

But look at the result, this bunch of bold brothers are really bold, daring to do anything and piercing through the sky. Eldest Grandma suffered a fright and I almost lost my life, do you think that the wives and grandmothers in our backyard can handle this kind of thing? "

Liang Shi's family's shrewdness was much deeper than Cui Hong's. She could not help but nod his head and said: "Second Young Madam's kindness, even as servants, we can understand it! "It's because those brothers don't want to live up to expectations. I presume that the madam and the old lady are all kind-hearted people. Fortunately, they were able to avoid danger. Second Young Madam, please don't take it to heart!"

Hua Hanyun and Yue Shuang started singing together, full of nonsense, but the two of them spoke in a serious tone, while Cui Hong stood at the side and thought:

"Xu Liang, Zhang De and his brothers have truly died unjustly, but Zheng Geer of the Lu family is still very free and unfettered in the West Garden! Second Young Madam can really take this lying down? "

"Sigh, Second Young Madam is good in every way. It's just that she's too strong and her personality is very soft, but she's very tough on the outside. She is sincere to Second Master, but Second Master …" "Sigh …"

Cui Hong took out a lamp, Hua Hanyun and Liang Shi talked while walking, the group walked all the way to Orange Country.

There were already several small, isolated courtyards here, but now they were no longer needed.

The little girl Qiu Yue who was in the Eldest Grandma's room was guarding the door. Seeing the lantern come over, she raised her eyebrows and said: "Where did this servant come from? It's best not to see the light when you sleep at night, and even light up a lantern? "

Liang Shi spoke with a sharp voice: "Little girl, your sharp mouth really ought to tear it up for you. Second Grandma came over to the Eldest Grandma with an illness in her arms, what kind of servant are you scolding now?"

Qiu Yue stood up in a hurry and stood to the side. She did not speak, but her expression was still as ugly as ever.

Liu Wan's voice came out from the main room: "Is this Leng Yun? You have a weak body, yet you came to see me. How can I bear it? "

"Elder sister, what are you saying? How can you and I sisters afford it? " Hua Hanyun carefully walked forward, shot a glance at the two people from the Liang Shi Family, and said:

"You guys just wait at the door. Eldest Grandma's health is not good, you guys can't look at too many people. I'll just talk to her myself."

Qiu Yue pulled the curtain and Hua Hanyun entered the house alone. Liu Wan's room was like a snowy cave, there was not a single item in sight, and on the table, there was a pen container, an inkstone table, a few courteous words, and a few books on the shelves.

Liu Wan reclined on the bed, wearing a plain white long robe. She did not put on any makeup and her face was haggard, but she did not lose a single bit of elegance.

Hua Hanyun was shocked in her heart, and said: "Elder sister, your room is too chilly! Are all these dog slaves really born with dog eyes? The Zhang Family's Eldest Grandma is such a house, are you trying to humiliate the Zhang Family? "

Liu Wan smiled faintly, and said: "This is my first time coming to my room! Don't blame them, I have a carefree personality, I can't bear to see the room crowded, like this simple furnishings. "Even if sister sends me some things, I'll have to send them back to you later!"
