Chapter Twenty-Six: Falling Short
At noon, after eating fast, they went home.
On the carriage, Qingtong whispered in Lin Wan's ear: "The spirit sword is back, Mr. Qiu is fine." ”
Lin Wan nodded, relieved. Before, she was worried that the prince would be unfavorable to Qiu Ming, so she asked Lingjian to stay and help, and asked Liu Fangyao to stir up the situation, but she knew that the prince was deep and ruthless, and she didn't want Qiu Ming to have an accident because of herself, so she was always very worried.
When he was about to enter the city, the sound of a gale suddenly sounded in his ears: "Miss, something happened to Madame, Miss Wang Qi said that Madame was poisoned again last night." ”
Lin Wan was shocked and looked at Qingtong, who nodded, indicating that she had also heard. Qingtong communicated with Gale Wind, and said in Lin Wan's ear: "It's the same poison as before, it's a failure, and Madame's body is very weak, so she may be ......."
Lin Wan was resentful in her heart, although she didn't like the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but after all, they were all Lin Wan'er's relatives, and she didn't want to be an enemy of the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, if her mother can't survive this catastrophe this time, she will not let go of those who hurt her.
The return trip was relatively fast, and before the end of the time, I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen's mother was already waiting at the gate, the carriage stopped, Chen's mother wiped her tears and greeted her, and cried to the old lady: "Old lady, my wife is afraid ...... I'm afraid it's not good. ”
Old Madam Lin waved her hand and said angrily: "Shut up, what nonsense! I will go with Wan'er to take a look, and the others will go back to their respective rooms, and don't come out without my permission." Then he commanded: "Take my post and ask the king's imperial doctor." ”
Aunt Qin knew in her heart that the old lady would not let go of herself easily this time, and now she was grounded. She didn't dare to say much, took her two daughters and walked to the backyard.
Lin Wan followed Mrs. Lin to the Autumn Garden, silent, with a solemn expression.
In the main room of Qiuyi Garden, Zhao Liniang was lying on the bed, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and her willow eyebrows were slightly locked. Wang Qi stayed by the bedside, and his face was very ugly.
Seeing Mrs. Lin come in, Wang Qi hurriedly got up and saluted. Mrs. Lin waved her hand to stop her from speaking, walked to the bed and looked at it for a while, seeing that Zhao Liniang would not wake up for a while, and went out again with everyone.
When she came to the front hall, Mrs. Lin sat on the main seat, and Chen's mother stepped forward to pay her respects.
"Back to the old lady, our wife's illness has not been good, but it is quite stable, Xiangye also came to see Mrs. last night, but soon after Xiangye left, Madame suddenly fell ill. Mother Chen said, raised her eyes and looked at the faces of Mrs. Lin and Lin Wan, Mrs. Lin was expressionless, Lin Wan did not react, Mother Chen was secretly anxious.
Lin Wan stepped forward, took Chen's mother's hand and said, "Mother Chen, don't worry, grandmother has already invited the royal doctor to come, and she will heal her mother." ”
Lin Wan patted Chen's mother's hand, Chen's mother wiped her tears, nodded, and stepped aside to wait.
After a while, Mother Du brought Imperial Doctor Wang in, and Mrs. Lin was not polite, and directly asked Imperial Doctor Wang to enter the inner hall to diagnose Zhao Liniang's pulse.
Imperial Physician Wang frowned, stroked his beard, and made a cup of tea before withdrawing his hand, packing up the medicine box, and inviting everyone out of the inner hall together.
After Mrs. Lin sat down, Imperial Doctor Wang said: "Old lady, the officials are incompetent, and they have no power to return to heaven. Madame's pulse is very weak, and there is a sign of heart failure, most for half a year, less than one month. ”
When Chen's mother heard this, tears flowed down again. Old Madam Lin's face showed grief. Lin Wan's face was frightened, looking at the imperial doctor Wang, but he didn't get any hints, and he was worried in his heart, could his mother really not escape this catastrophe?
After Imperial Doctor Wang finished writing the prescription, Lin Wan asked Wang Qi to follow him to get the medicine.
Lin Wan's tears flowed down instantly, holding Mrs. Lin's hand, and crying: "Grandmother, mother, she really ......"
Old Madam Lin sighed and patted Lin Wan's hand, not knowing what to say.
Lin Wan was grief-stricken, and it took a long time to calm down the ups and downs in her chest, and pleaded: "Grandmother, my mother has been sick for so long, and Wan'er has not been by her side to fulfill her filial piety. Now Mother ...... , ask your grandmother to allow Wan'er to move to Qiuyi Garden to live, and accompany her mother for the last ...... , okay?" said Lin Wan, who was no longer speechless.
Old Madam Lin looked at Lin Wan's sad appearance, and couldn't help crying. patted Lin Wan's hand, nodded and said, "Good boy, grandmother knows that you are filial, don't be too sad, cry your body." It's fine for you to stay with your mother, but don't let her see you crying, because she'll be sad too, understand?"
Lin Wan nodded, leaned on Old Madam Lin's shoulder, and slowly calmed down his emotions.
"Grandmother, you just came back, and you're tired, go back and rest, there is a granddaughter here, and she will take care of her mother, don't worry!" Lin Wan looked at Mrs. Lin worriedly.
Mrs. Lin nodded, moved in her heart, very satisfied with this granddaughter, but sometimes she felt that she couldn't see through it. Mother Du came over to help Mrs. Lin, and Lin Wan helped the other side and sent Mrs. Lin out of the Autumn Garden.
I heard that Lin Wan went straight to the Autumn Garden when she returned home, and Green Willow and Fluttershy had already rushed over.
Lin Wan returned to the hall, sat down on the main seat, and began to instruct directly: "Fluttershy, go back and call Angelica, Tomlyho, Qingxiang, and Tingfang, and send all the things I want to use to the Autumn Garden." Let Jin Man and Yin Man stay to help me take care of Wanxin Pavilion, and report anything at any time, and don't be negligent. Fluttershy goes first. ”
"Yes. Fluttershy leads the way out.
Lin Wan continued: "Green Willow and Cuihuan deal with the affairs of the Autumn Garden together. Only our own people can be left in the inner courtyard, and those who sprinkle and sweep in the outer courtyard are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard. If there is a problem, do not stay, send it to the housekeeper and let him reschedule. You have to show me the yard, and there must be no more problems. My mother was so sick that I didn't see anyone, including my father. ”
Green willow and cuihuan said in unison: "Yes." ”
Lin Wan turned to Chen's mother and said, "Chen's mother, please find a craftsman to see if you can dig a well in the yard." In the future, we will have to do the affairs in our yard by ourselves, sewing, purchasing, carrying water, cooking, etc., you can arrange it, and you must do everything in detail and in all aspects. ”
Chen's mother also nodded in response: "Yes, miss, I will arrange it." ”
"There are some things that may not have been done by Da Yahuan before, but there is no high or low value, just a difference in the division of labor, I hope everyone understands. If you are good at anything, you can talk to Chen's mother directly, she will arrange you in the right position, and if there is anything that cannot be solved, you can come to me directly. I'll be staying in the West Wing, and when Fluttershy returns, I'll ask her to arrange for someone to tidy things up for me. When Wang Qi came back, let her come to see me. Lin Wan finished everything in one breath and went to the east wing.
The layout of the east wing and the west wing room was about the same, and Lin Wan sat down at the table and called in a deep voice: "Gale." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gale was already standing in front of him.
