Chapter 61: A Glamorous Lady
In such a heavy atmosphere, Le Yu felt a little depressed, and Zhu Ji saw that there was a patient in the room who was suffering from hemorrhage, so she was afraid that she would be too sick to Le Yu, so she hurriedly said: "Let my sister have a good rest, let's talk outside." As he spoke, he pulled Leyu to stand by the stove at the door and speak.
Shunzhu's daughter-in-law bit her lip and knelt down for Le Yu, she seemed to have been numb these days, her eyes that had long dried up were hot with tears, and she kowtowed: "The slave and maid deserve to die, the old lady has no complaints about the slave and maid leaving the house, but the poor daughter of the slave and maid...... Fourth girl, show mercy and save my poor daughter. Even if you want me to die, I'm willing. “
After a while, her forehead was bruised, Le Yu felt very uncomfortable, and motioned to Qingmei to pull her up, "To say that your actions are indeed not worthy of sympathy, but you do have extenuating circumstances, a single mother, for her daughter to do such a thing, it is really helpless." Can the big girl's illness still be cured?"
Shunzhu's daughter-in-law seemed to see a glimmer of hope, let the tears sway on her face, raised her head and said: "There are those who can be cured, and there are those who can be cured." The doctor said that if you can continue to take medicine every day to recuperate, you can still live. “
Zhu Ji couldn't help but speak: "I have inquired, the medicine you prescribed to your eldest girl costs two taels of silver for a dose, there are a lot of precious medicinal materials in it, and it will take at least a few months to be cured, this is not a small amount, even if you sell it, you can't afford it." “
Le Yu exhaled softly, "Zhuji, don't say it, give it to her." Zhuji couldn't, secretly sighed that the girl was too kind, and took out a silver ticket from her arms, "Take it." This is our girl's reward for you, you can't live here anymore, there is no way to live a patient here, find another place to settle down, take the money to give birth to the eldest girl, it should be enough. “
Shunzhu's daughter-in-law's hand holding the silver ticket kept trembling, her eyes widened, and it clearly said "two hundred taels", she was stunned, such a large sum of money, she couldn't earn it back if she didn't eat or drink for decades. The fourth girl gave herself like this?
When she came back to her senses, the three masters and servants had already walked out. Shunzhu's daughter-in-law chased after her, kowtowed in the direction of Le Yu, and cried silently: "The four girls are very kind, the slave is unforgettable, and one of them cannot be repaid for death." “
Leyu glanced back at her and said lightly: "I don't pity you, I just pity your daughter." You don't have to thank me, it's rare for me to do good deeds on a whim. “
Back at Tingxue Hall, Zhuji hurriedly fetched boiling water and added wormwood and artemisia collected during the Dragon Boat Festival to let Le Yu wash her hands and disinfect her hands, and threw out the clothes that Le Yu wore and burned them, and she and Qingmei were also busy washing inside and out.
Although Le Yu didn't think so, she saw that Zhuji was nervous and let her go, and she bathed with medicinal water very cooperatively to prevent her from getting sick.
Princess Baoqing must give some congratulatory gifts on her birthday, and she will leave the public in the name of the Xiao family, and Leyu will also prepare a gift, but it makes her a little nerve-wracking. Bao Qinggui is a princess, what rare treasures have you never seen, what do you have to give to make her happy?
After thinking about it, I decided to go shopping on the street and see what was suitable. It was clear to the old lady and the Gu family, because of such a high-sounding reason, the Gu family thought that his beloved daughter had been sick for a long time a few days ago, so he agreed, and only ordered to bring more guards.
The high-end gold shops and jewelry shops in the capital and the place where the silk and satin villages gather are none other than the Changping Avenue that reaches the palace gate, and every family is a high-quality goods, jewelry, rouge, ready-to-wear, everything. Changping Avenue is always full of people, prosperous, the carriage stopped at the mouth, Le Yu took Qingmei Lingge to get off the car and slowly walk around.
I walked around a few aimlessly and didn't see the right one, the next one was the tassel building specializing in southern jewelry, and I saw Le Yu coming to the upstairs VIP room in person to receive the shopkeeper. When I arrived, there was already someone, a gorgeous young woman in her twenties with two girls was choosing, wearing a honey-colored placket pinching waist tulle breast-length skirt, and two white and greasy towering masses on her chest, very plump and beautiful. The eyebrows are like the distant mountains with emerald, the eyes are like autumn water, and the cherry lips are red and delicate, which is really a rare beauty.
Le Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and somehow her eyes became strange, but her mouth was not idle, and when she saw a regular ceremony, she smiled and said: "It turned out to be the young lady of the An family, and Le Yu is polite." “
That beauty is the wife of An Zhiyuan, the sister-in-law of An Huaisu's family, and the concubine of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, Ke Shi, the two have seen each other at the Spring Festival banquet before, Yi Ke Shi also Yingying got up and smiled: "It turned out to be Miss Xiao Si, what a coincidence, did Miss Xiao Si also come to see the jewelry?"
Leyu nodded and smiled: "No, Princess Anqing's birthday, I don't know what to send, so let's see if there are any interesting things." “
Ke's fan only showed a pair of charming eyes, covered his lips and smiled: "Princess Fangdan naturally can't be lazy, I'm just hanging out, let's go first, and the four girls will pick slowly." “
Le Yu smiled gently, and she couldn't see any danger: "Then Mrs. An is easy to go, and Le Yu won't send it." Ke Shi was in a graceful posture and went downstairs with the girl swaying.
Seeing her go away, Le Yu couldn't help laughing, "Where don't we meet in life." What a coincidence. Ling Ge was a little confused and asked, "Didn't the girl meet this Young Lady An once?"
Le Yu smiled meaningfully, "But it's more than one." “
Le Yu picked a superb Hetian jade carving rabbit ornament for Princess Anqing, Princess Anqing is a rabbit, this ornament is just right, the warm and white body is dotted with two rubies to make rabbit eyes, which is very expressive and interesting. On the way back, the carriage walked to Xingguifang but was blocked, and the people on the third floor and the outer three floors were surrounded in front of the people, watching the excitement and gossiping.
Zhuji lifted the curtain of the car and sent the coachman: "Go and see, what's going on in front?" The coachman nodded hurriedly, and then came back after a while and replied: "Fourth girl, in front of you is the carriage of the Anshun County Palace, saying that it accidentally hit someone, and the owner pulled it and refused to leave." “
Le Yu was puzzled, Anshun County Palace? She thought about it and thought about it, and she had never heard of this mansion in her past and present lives. Le Yu suppressed the doubts in her heart and said, "In this case, let's change the route, you don't have to block the road." “
changed the way, all the way back to the Xiao family, Le Yu went to Hening Hall to let the old lady see the congratulatory gift before going to Yaohuaju. Gu smiled and touched a few handfuls of warm jade rabbits, "It's a good thing, I can't be wrong when I think about it." “
The mother and daughter gossiped a few words, and Le Yu remembered today's events, and finally couldn't help but ask Gu Shi curiously: "Mother, my grandfather's family has been in the capital for many years, and you have also grown up in Beijing since you were a child, have you ever heard of an Anshun County Palace?"
Gu Shi was stunned for a moment, then his face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Where did you hear that?" Le Yu was taken aback by Gu's reaction, and hurriedly told Gu Shi about the things on the road.
Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and sent away all the subordinates before pulling Le Yu and said, "Don't mention this palace again in the future, especially in front of the old lady." “
Le Yu was puzzled, and said in surprise: "Why?" Gu wanted to speak and stopped, and only when he saw Le Yu asking: "Our old lady is the princess of Emperor Chongping's queen, you know this." Le Yu became more and more like falling into the fog, "So what?"
Gu's voice trembled slightly, obviously remembering the tragic incident in the past: "The old lady also has a brother-in-law, named Prince Lian, who competed with the first emperor for the throne at that time, and the fight was in full swing. He rebelled on the eve of the death of Emperor Chongping, and after being suppressed by the first emperor failed, he was beheaded in public, and the illustrious Prince Lian's mansion was also razed to the ground overnight, leaving only a three-year-old son. After the first emperor ascended the throne, thinking of brotherhood, he still named the young son King Anshun, and the current King of Anshun is the son-in-law of King Anshun. “
