Since Shen Junxuan got married and returned to the door, Ma seemed to be suddenly relieved, probably because he was too nervous a few days ago, and this time his spirit relaxed, and he became ill.

At first, Ma didn't do anything, these days, how can people eat whole grains without getting sick, seeing that there is just some fever, only people cook ginger soup and pour it raw, thinking that it will be good to sweat. The first day seemed to be better, and Ma didn't care even more, so he just asked someone to continue to cook ginger soup. It happened that Shen Jizhong was busy with official business in the past two days, and when the people on the night vigil found out about Ma's, the people were already burned and their faces were red and they were delirious, and they immediately made a disturbance in the whole courtyard, but fortunately, the Shen family has always had a doctor, and he immediately went to invite him.

Ma originally valued Jingdetang, and she single-handedly took the affairs of the inner courtyard by herself, but she was not a powerful person, she and Jingdetang were inevitably a little messy, originally Shen Junxuan could still help Ma when she was there, but now among the girls in the big house, the two eldest Shen Junwei and Shen Junying are still not very up, where can they manage things. Shen Jizhong himself is a typical person who adheres to the rules of "male outside, female inside", and when he had no choice for a while, he had to ask people to knock on the door in the courtyard next door and invite Xiao Shi to help with the cooking.

Shen Jitang and Xiao came over, the doctor of the Shen family was diagnosing Ma's pulse, and the people in the courtyard were running around without any rules, and there were actually several aunts in the main hall.

Shen Jizhong was in a hurry to deal with the affairs in the courtyard, and when he saw Shen Jitang and Xiao coming over, he hurriedly told Xiao Shi for help. Originally, Xiao Shi wanted to excuse himself, but he felt that it was so inappropriate, so he couldn't stand Shen Jizhong's repeated requests, and only said that if he needed anything, he would just ask someone to tell him, so that he could help him for a while.

Xiao Shi was still hesitating, but Shen Jitang spoke first on the side: "Since the eldest brother said so, don't hesitate, help deal with the past tonight first, if there is anything to worry about tomorrow morning." Seeing that there is chaos here now, I am afraid that if the chaos continues, I will wake up my mother's side, which will be bad. ”

"Yes, yes, the second brother is very right. If these little things disturb our mother, it will be unfilial to us. "The Shen family is the most difficult time, Shen Jizhong has not had much contact with general affairs, he was born as the eldest son, for the sake of the Shen family's scholarly reputation, he focuses on his studies, if it weren't for the sudden illness of the Ma family this time, he didn't know, the affairs of the inner courtyard were not simple.

Shen Jitang opened his mouth, and Xiao Shi didn't shirk it, and hurriedly led people to stabilize the hospitalized people first, and then began to distribute affairs.

Although Ma's illness was dangerous, fortunately, the maid discovered it in time, and the doctor's medical skills offered by the Shen family were also unique.

Xiao Shi withdrew the hand that touched Ma's forehead, and said to Mama Sang and Minghong, who were accompanying him, "This heat has finally subsided, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"Thankfully, the heat has finally subsided. "Mama Sang is a person next to Ma's side, it turns out that Ma's is not very respectful to Xiao's, more or less on the face, this time she sincerely saluted Xiao's, "This time it's really thanks to the second lady, the slave is here to thank the second lady." ”

Xiao Shi waved his hand, "It's all a family, don't say these foreign words." ”

Ming Hong saw that Xiao Shi was blue and black at the moment, and said very distressedly: "Madame has been busy all night, and now that the eldest lady is fine, Madame might as well go back and squint her eyes first, there are a few slaves and maids guarding here." ”

Mama Sang on the side also echoed and said, "What Miss Minghong said is that the eldest lady still has a few slaves and maids here, and the second lady just rest assured." ”

The Xiao family, who had spent most of the night, was indeed tired, and he didn't shirk anything, but he reconfirmed the situation of the Xia Ma family, and told the maids in the house before taking people back to Jingxian Hall to rest.

The news of Ma's illness spread in the Shen family early the next morning, and several girls from the De'an and Shen families went to the courtyard of the big house to see Ma's Jingde Hall, and Mrs. Feng also asked Mama Yan to go, and also found a lot of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials to send to Ma's.

Mama Sang took the empty medicine bowl handed by Ma Shi and put it aside, and quickly handed the candied fruit to Ma Shi again, "Madam, this is the candied fruit made by Mrs. Tang in our yard herself, with licorice, it is your favorite, you taste it, just go to the taste of medicine in your mouth." ”

Ma Shi felt that drinking the medicine was tasteless in his mouth, and he didn't want to eat anything, so he heard Mama Sang say this, twisted one and put it in his mouth, "Well, yes, it's still that smell, Mrs. Tang is not young, but it's hard for her to be anxious about me." I remember that I still have two Shu brocades, and you can find them and send them to her together with the foam ginger flower jade bracelet that someone sent last time. He twisted a few more and ate them, and then waved his hand to let Mama Sang take them down.

Mama Sang took the candied fruit and said to Ma with a smile, "It is a blessing for us to be slaves and maids to be able to do things for Madame, why does Madame need to be so polite." That Shu brocade is a good thing, plus this topaz bracelet, Mrs. is enough to buy a jar of golden candied fruit, this time Mrs. Tang can get Mrs. is a big bargain. ”

Ma Shi half leaned on the head of the bed, and said, "It's nothing, it's just a matter of silver." I will get sick and find out that these gold, silver and jewelry are not important, they are all external objects, and the most important thing is my own body and bones, or ah, you people who are sincere to me. Since you have treated me with all my heart, I will not do you any wrong. Why, do you envy Mrs. Tang?"

"Look at what Madame said, I am the shallow-eyed person, Madame's reward, I will personally send it in a while, let her get such a big bargain, I have to ask her for two glasses of wine to eat. Mama Sang said with a smile.

"Go ahead, I'll have two cups for my wife. When I come back, I will reward you with a pair of jasper bracelets with floating flowers. ”

Although I have gained a lot of things over the years with Ma, who would dislike rewarding more, Mama Sang hurriedly smiled and saluted Ma's, "Hey, thank you, madam." ”

Ma Shi turned his head and looked at the other maids in the room, thought for a while and said: "Tell the people in the yard that everyone has worked hard in the past few days, and this time each person will be rewarded with an extra month." ”

As soon as these words came out of the house, a few people in the house also saluted and thanked Ma's with a smile, but Ma's was having other things to say to Mama Sang at this time, so he sent people outside, and those who could enter the house to serve the master were all maids with eyes, and they all immediately withdrew when they heard Ma's words, and carefully closed the door.

As soon as Mama Sang saw Ma's posture, she immediately expressed her loyalty obediently, "If Madame has anything to do, the old slave will do it for you!"

Ma shook his head and pointed to the side, "No need to be formal, you can move a stool and sit and talk to me." ”

"I've been sick for the past few days, how are things going at home?"

Mama Sang asked with a little hesitation, "Madame means ......?"

"What else can there be, I, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, can be in charge of the house. I've been sick for a long time, and I've been leaving my family behind for a long time, and I remember that it's time to arrange summer clothes, and if something goes wrong, the old lady can't explain it. "Somehow, Ma has been a little lacking in energy these days, and I don't know if he has been lying in bed for a long time.

"Madame, don't worry, I'll keep an eye on them. Besides, Mrs. is still sick now, there is a way, illness comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread, and now Mrs. is at ease to take care of her body, and the rest is that something went wrong, and the old lady must be able to understand Mrs. Mama Sang carefully comforted Ma's words.

"If the old lady is really dissatisfied, it is not unheard of to take back the account book in my hand directly. "What Ma said was really that the old lady was dissatisfied with her actions last time, and she was directly taken over the right to take charge of the family, but if she was still thinking about grasping all the affairs of the family in her hands before she got sick, isn't it now......

"You go to Shou'an Hall with the account book and the key in a moment, and say to the old lady, well...... Let's just say that I am sick now, and I am afraid that I have no time to take care of the affairs of the family, and I asked the old lady to arrange for the second and third brothers and sisters to come. ”

"Ah?!" Mama Sang was surprised, Ma's Suri hated to take all the housekeeper's affairs into her own hands, when did she actually think about pushing it out, "Madam, this is ......" What's wrong, this rhythm is really a little incomprehensible.

"I used to be a little wary of my second and third siblings, but I'm sick these days, but I can see it more clearly. The second brother and sister marry a lot, and the third brother and sister are the county lords, where would they stare at these things of the Shen family with shallow eyes. Besides, the second brother and the third brother also have their own abilities, and their two rooms are still simple, where are they like me......" Ma Shi also understood what Mama Sang meant, and said half-explained and half-self-deprecating, "That is, I haven't been able to understand." Who is the old lady, looking at her daily behavior, she should know which grandchild she really likes, and she can always achieve a bowl of water, and in the future, it will be her...... The separation of the Shen family brothers into three rooms must be very fair, where do I need to bother to do something evil. ”

seems to sigh for his previous stupidity, "That is, I don't know the blessings in the blessings, and I have boiled my body in vain, and it is not worth it." ”

If Ma really wanted to open it, it would be really good for Mama Sang, but she was worried that Ma was just thinking like this for a while, and when she got better, she changed her mind, and if the affairs of the head of the family had been let out, it would not be good to tell the old lady about getting it back.

Mama Sang smiled and said to Ma, "The old lady and the old man must be very happy if they know that the lady can think like this." It's just that the old slave is stupid, and he thinks privately, it is not a matter of a day or two for the old lady to let Mrs. you come to the house, even if the account book is collected and placed in Mama Yan's, and it is not given to the second or third lady, presumably the old lady still wants Mrs. to do this thing in charge. If the lady pushes it like this, I am afraid that it will make the old man dissatisfied. ”

Mama Sang carefully looked at Ma's and seemed to be loosened, and then made persistent efforts and said: "Madam, you don't think it's as good as this, I'll go and talk to Mama Yan in front of the old lady first, and ask her and the old lady to ask a few words in private, if the old lady also shows this meaning, I'm going over with the account book and the key, if not, I don't think it's better to forget it, so as not to cause the old lady to be dissatisfied." ”

Ma Shi thought about it and thought it was okay, so he asked Mama Sang to explore Mama Yan's tone first
