Chapter 70: Shame (Asking for Subscription)
The blood jade that the fourth uncle gave her, Hanyu thought about it and kept it carefully. I took a silk handkerchief and wrapped it, and then placed it in a square carved box that was only the size of a palm, and the box originally contained a pair of hosta flower earrings, which were given to her by her mother, and it was more than enough to put a small object inside.
She read the medical books for half an hour, ate at night, and went to bed early.
The next day, when it was dawn, they prepared the wagon, and the things were loaded into the wagon.
Hanyu woke up early, got up and washed up, and had breakfast with his aunt, and went out of the inn together, and the innkeeper sent it with a smile.
When he arrived at the gate, Hanyu saw Mu Agarwood standing not far from the carriage, and a young man with a round face stood in front of him, holding a burden in his hand and seemed to be giving it to Agarwood.
Agarwood pushed it back, but didn't want to accept it. When the man saw that she was leaving, he slipped the burden into her hand and turned around and ran.
Mu Agarwood wanted to catch up, but he ran very fast, and disappeared when he turned into the alley.
Hanyu looked at Mu Agarwood with a helpless look, raised her eyebrows and smiled. I really can't imagine that Mu Agarwood can have such an encounter when she goes out, if it weren't for Agarwood having her ninth uncle in her heart, in fact, this gentle and conscientious intention is really quite a match.
It's just that it will be passers-by after all!
But he said that in Yan's Mansion in Bianjing, Master Yan received a letter from Hanyu, and when Master Yan opened the letter, he saw that Hanyu's handwriting was really more and more similar to that of his eldest son, and he was quite relieved.
Hanyu's letter said that he asked his grandfather to take good care of his body, and he didn't work hard, and finally mentioned Mama Hong, wanting to know Mama Hong's condition.
After reading the letter, Master Yan sent the housekeeper to visit the manor.
The day before Yan Hanyu left Bianjing, Mama Hong felt unwell when she got up in the morning, her body was heavy, and her head was also groggy.
Mama Hong didn't know why, she slapped through the door and asked, "Why are you locking me here?
"You've got smallpox. Let's fend for ourselves here. ”
Mama Hong couldn't believe it, "You let me go, let me go back and explain that I didn't have smallpox." ”
"Go look in the mirror yourself and talk!" the two men who escorted her all the way to the manor covered their mouths and noses. Far away from her, he left after speaking.
Mama Hong banged on the door and shouted, but she could only watch the two of them go farther and farther, she was weak, she actually knew that she was sick. But she couldn't believe smallpox.
She looked back and glanced at the small courtyard, only to think that it was a farmhouse that had not been inhabited for a long time, and the house behind it was made of wood, with the door ajar and cobwebs and dust. The courtyard wall is also tied with high and low wooden stakes, tied tightly together, there is an abandoned vegetable patch in the small courtyard, and there is a well on the other side.
The eyes are full of desolation. Sending her here, there is nothing, isn't it certain death?
She walked to the well and looked out, the water at the mouth of the well was as clear as a mirror, and her square face was also revealed, full of pox.
Mama Hong was surprised. After all, she had stayed in the palace, and quickly calmed down and gave herself a careful pulse. She had smallpox when she was a child, and smallpox would have survived the first time. She will never come out again, which is why she firmly believes that she does not have smallpox. And at this moment, her weakness and acne rash made her feel confused, and the symptoms were too similar!
If she hadn't been weak now, she would have found a way to escape from this manor.
Two more followed. said that he was sent by Master Yan, gave her medicinal materials, and asked her if she needed anything, even if she was instructed, he would send it to her.
Mama Hung hurriedly explained that she did not have smallpox and asked them not to lock her here.
The two men hesitated. Naturally, they didn't dare to open the door lightly, but said that they would go back and tell the master.
When Master Yan learned that Mama Hong was locked up in an abandoned manor on the outskirts of the city, and heard that she did not have smallpox, he naturally asked her to recuperate first, so he sent someone to transfer her to a manor that could live in her, and a person from the manor was set up to help her outside.
Mama Hong saw herself and prescribed medicine, and thanks to Master Yan's inquiry, she only had medicine, and someone sent her food, otherwise she would not have survived if she was left to fend for herself.
After staying up in the manor for a whole month, Mama Hong finally got better, the acne on her face disappeared, and her body recovered.
The housekeeper went to the manor, but he didn't see anyone, and he heard that Mama Hong had recovered from her illness and had been taken back. The housekeeper was puzzled, so he could only go back and tell Master Yan.
The housekeeper only made a mistake with the person who took Mama Hong back to Yan's mansion. Mama Hong was sent to Mrs. Yan's courtyard, and Master Yan also knew about it and went to Shou'an Hall.
Mrs. Yan said that she was unwell, and before Hanyu came back, she asked Mama Hong to serve by her side for a while.
Master Yan said tepidly, "If the people around you are not attentive, just sell it, and find a few more people to serve." ”
Old Madam Yan was so angry that she almost jumped off the couch, "Master, sell the people around me, this doesn't make me have a comfortable life in the future, how can the new slave and maid use it easily? ”
"If you weren't so mean and bitter now, how could I ask? Mama Hong is Hanyu's person, why did she get sick before Hanyu left, and you didn't give an explanation for this?"
Old Madam Yan's voice was raised, "What do you mean by this, master! Could it be that I caused Mama Hong to have smallpox! Say that I am scathing, is this what my lord thinks?" She got off the lodge and stood, raised her head and said, "If the lord doesn't say this clearly today, and give me a clean slate, I would rather invite myself to the court." ”
"I'm not here to quarrel with you today, you need to remember that Mama Hong is Hanyu's person, and that's the person I specially found for Hanyu. You don't have to be too embarrassed to fight with your granddaughter!"
Old Madam Yan was extremely embarrassed.
Master Yan continued, "You can rest well now that you are sick, I will ask you to ask for a doctor, and the second family in the inner house is now the head of the second family, so let the second family take more responsibility, and you don't have to worry about interfering." ”
On the other side, starting from Hongxian, all the way upside down, the carriage walked Yan Hanyu and the others all morning, and at this moment they arrived in a small town, ready to rest and get something to eat.
The sun was rising in mid-air, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.
After staying for half a moment, Hanyu didn't eat much, and after eating, he lazily leaned on the carriage to rest, and the bones were crispy all the way.
This journey of carriage and horses is indeed more tiring than sitting on a big boat.
"Hanyu, are you okay? Is there anything uncomfortable?" Because Hanyu had just recovered from a serious illness, Lin Susu couldn't help but ask a few more questions. Originally, she let the carriage go slowly, but Hanyu felt that they were walking too slowly, so it was better to go faster and get to her grandmother's house early.
"I'm fine, little aunt. ”
"Why don't we rest here for half a day in the afternoon?" Lin Susu asked her, for fear that she would not be able to bear it.
"Little aunt, I'm really fine, if I delay all the way like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to Suzhou for a year. ”
"What will!" Lin Susu said with a smile.
"Let's rest for a quarter of an hour and we'll go. ”
After resting in the town, they continued on their way, preparing to reach the next state town before dark. (To be continued.) )
