Chapter 8: Sickness

In front of the bronze mirror, Bai Qiyu let Qiu Ling tie her hair for her, while talking about the harvest that Qiu Ju brought back yesterday. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Now that there are suitable shops to choose from, it's easy to do, and I'm going to find a way to go out of the house these days to investigate. ā€

Bai Qiyu said as she took a pair of Nanzhu earrings from the brocade box and put them on, the particles the size of lotus seeds and rice shook gently, and the faint brilliance flowed, making her face more and more flawless like white jade.

Bai Qiyu looked at it and sighed again, this original owner really has a good look, and I don't know how it was inherited, it is not much similar to Bai Yuntang and Aunt Lan, maybe it is a combination of the beauty of the two?

Qiu Ling was ashamed again, "My eldest brother is an honest man, so he will help find out the news, but nothing else can help Miss......"

Bai Qiyu smiled and patted her hand, "Honest people are good, and doing things is reassuring." ā€

Qiu Ling pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, turned around and took the cloak for her to tie, "It's time to go and say goodbye to Madame." ā€

"Alas, it's better to be sick, you don't have to get up early, you don't need to say hello, there is someone to take care of, how comfortable!" Bai Qiyu sighed.

Qiushui was so frightened that he hurriedly looked outside, and said, "Oh, my good young lady, how can you say that? If Mrs. knows about it, you will be punished again!"

Bai Qiyu smiled and said, "Look at what scares you, I'll just talk about it, it's up to us here, it's okay to talk about it." ā€

Qiushui was helpless, "Miss, it's too late to talk about it." ā€

"Okay, okay, let's go, there's something important going on today. ā€

Bai Qiyu said and pulled his furry hat, took the hand stove handed by Qiu Ling and went out.

When I arrived at the Orchid Garden, I saw Bai Shihua and Bai Baozhu talking from a distance, Bai Wutong was standing on one side, and Wen Ying and Wen Hui were standing outside the curtain and bowing their eyes.

Bai Liuyun's maid Bihe was also standing on the side, and the rest of the maids and daughters-in-law were also acting cautiously, and the atmosphere seemed a little strange.

Bai Qiyu and Qiushui glanced at each other, and they both saw questions in each other's eyes.

The maids saluted, and Wen Ying stepped forward and said, "Miss Seven, after Madam asked a few young ladies to come, wait a minute, why don't you go to the wing room and sit down first?"

Bai Qiyu saw that Bai Shihua and Bai Baozhu were standing outside the door waiting, and he naturally didn't want to be an exception, so he smiled and said, "I'm waiting here, has my mother eaten early?"

Wen Ying replied, "Madame got up early and ate a little sago. ā€

Bai Qiyu nodded and didn't ask any more.

Since he still ate a little something, it means that his mood is not bad, Bai Qiyu said secretly, a little relieved, but he didn't know what it was to summon Bai Liuyun in alone.

"Seventh sister, I heard that you have been making new perfume these days? Bai Shihua said with a smile.

Bai Qiyu said lightly, "It's just some playthings, where can it compare to the embroidery of my sisters, that screen must have been embroidered, right?"

Bai Shihua suddenly stopped smiling on his face, and raised his eyebrows with jealousy, "Where can I compare to my sister's light work." ā€

Bai Qiyu smiled lightly, and Bai Baozhu on the side jumped over this stubble and pretended to be curious, "I don't know what is the matter with my mother calling the sixth sister......

Bai Shihua said, "What will you know later, isn't it?" Seventh sister, what do you say?"

This Bai Shihua, how can she pull the topic to herself! Bai Qiyu slandered in his heart, and said with a smile on his face, "Mother naturally has her reasons for doing things, how can we be daughters." ā€

After saying a word, Bai Shihua and Bai Baozhu's faces were not very good, Bai Shihua was about to say something, the door curtain shook, Mother Wang walked out of the house, and the words in her throat had to be swallowed back, her expression was indescribably aggrieved, and she was even more resentful of Bai Qiyu in her heart.

Mother Wang saluted, "I've seen Miss Four, Miss Seven, Miss Eight, and Mrs. ordered a few young ladies to come in and talk." ā€

Bai Shihua snorted lightly and took the lead, and Wen Ying hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the curtain.

Bai Qiyu and Bai Baozhu Bai Wutong also walked in.

There was a scripture book on the kang table at the banquet place, Mrs. Bai sat next to her and drank tea, while Bai Liuyun took a small bowl of sago and ate it with a small spoon.

As soon as Bai Shihua entered and saw this scene, her eyes flashed slightly, and her face was full of smiles, "My daughter asked her mother to say goodbye, her mother looks good, do you want to sleep well?"

Madam Bai said lightly, "As long as you can make me worry, I naturally look good." The tone is ambiguous.

Bai Shihua said no more, but there were countless doubts in her heart.

Bai Qiyu and Bai Baozhu also stepped forward and saluted.

"What's the matter, Xiao Jiu hasn't come here today?" said Madame Bai, her fingertips turning the Buddha beads.

Bai Qiyu said, "I want to come to the Ninth Sister and walk slowly." ā€

As he was talking, a maid hurriedly walked in, Bai Qiyu saw that it was Wen Ying, followed by a little maid, but it was the green rui beside Xiao Jiu.

Wen Ying stepped forward and saluted, "Madam, Lu Rui said that Miss Nine is sick, and she got up early and found that she had a bad fever......

Madame Bai immediately looked anxious, "What's wrong with Xiao Jiu, how could he suddenly get sick?"

Lu Rui stepped forward with teary eyes, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and choked up, "Madam, please save Miss Nine, when the slave came, Miss Nine was talking nonsense......

Madame Bai's face turned pale, and she shouted coldly, "How did you all take care of Miss Jiu? You even let her be sick like this before you came to report it? If my Xiao Jiu has any mistakes, I will definitely not spare you!"

Lu Rui trembled and cried, "Madam, it's the slave's fault, please save Miss Nine quickly, Madame......"

Madame Bai raised her eyebrows and scolded, "Cheap, pull down and hit the twenty boards." ā€

Mother Wang on the side responded, and went with the two maids to bet on the crying green stamen.

With this kind of skill, a doctor has already been invited, and this is not clear that he is delaying time.

Bai Qiyu sighed in his heart, but he still stepped forward and said respectfully, "Mother, this maid is at fault, but the ninth sister is sick at this time, and she has to be taken care of by familiar people, so it's better to let her take credit for her crimes, take care of the ninth sister first and then punish her?"

Madam Bai's eyebrows and eyes were slightly cold, and then her face eased, and she said lightly, "What Xiao Qi said is reasonable, I won't punish you for the time being, go back and take good care of you Miss Nine." ā€

Lu Rui immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed gratefully, "Thank you, madam, thank you, Miss Seven......"

Madame Bai waved her hand to make her retreat first, "...... Wen Hui, go and ask Steward Liu to send someone to invite Dr. Meng to ......"

Doctor Meng is a very famous old doctor in Yunxi City, and he came to see Bai Qiyu injured and comatose last time, but although Bai Qiyu finally woke up, this Bai Qiyu is not Bai Qiyu, of course, except for Bai Qiyu himself, no one knows this, so it is harmless, but it adds to the reputation of Doctor Meng.

Wen Hui responded and left quickly to run errands, and Madame Bai shook the Buddhist beads, "Let's go see Xiao Jiu first, and you sisters will go together......"

Everyone naturally respectfully agreed, and went to Bai Jiuxiang's Linyue Pavilion.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw the maid and the maid going in and out nervously, holding a basin of water.

Madame Bai walked indoors with a cold face, the maids and mothers-in-law all saluted tremblingly, Bai Qiyu walked at the back, and her steps stopped in front of a little maid who had just left her head.

"What the hell is going on?" Bai Qiyu asked.

The little maid trembled and bowed her head and replied, "The slave doesn't know either, the slave and the maid are just sprinkling and sweeping in the yard......"

Bai Qiyu was slightly annoyed, "Then tell me what you know." ā€

The little maid stumbled and said, "Early this morning, Sister Luzhu called a few times, and seeing that Miss Nine didn't get up on time as usual, she brought hot water into the warm pavilion to see...... I found Miss Nine lying on the bed with a fever......"

"Did Miss Nine feel uncomfortable yesterday?"

The little maid said uncertainly, "It seems to ...... I don't think I've heard of uncomfortable ......."

Bai Qiyu saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he went into the house to see.

Mrs. Bai looked at the little person lying on the bed, her eyes were closed, her little face was very red, and her breath looked very weak, Mrs. Bai sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroked her little face, and covered her face with tears on her face.

Bai Jiuxiang's nurse brought a basin of ice water, twisted the handkerchief, folded it and put it on her forehead.

"Tell me, how did you all serve your young lady, and you were all sick like this, and you didn't find out until early in the morning...... Who was on duty last night?" Madame Bai wiped the corners of her eyes, turned her head and said sharply.

The maid in the house knelt on the ground, but she didn't dare to make a sound.

Madame Bai said angrily, "Are you dumb?"

The nurse said at this time, "Last night's supper, Miss Nine said that she wanted to eat some spicy bean cake, but the slaves didn't dare to give her it, but Miss Nine made a lot of trouble, and the slaves and maids ate a small piece of it for her because they couldn't help it...... In the middle of the night, I kept saying that I was thirsty, and the slave and maid fed me water several times, and there was nothing abnormal, but this morning I started to have a fever, and the slave and maid had to keep changing the water and dressing it......"

Bai Qiyu listened, sighing in his heart, now Xiao Jiu is in a coma, and he doesn't know what is going on, not even a person in charge......

"Miss Nine was brought up by you, why can't you even do this little thing when you are old, and make her sick like this? How did you behave as a nurse?" Madame Bai was obviously also upset by this remark, and her voice became sharper.

The nurse kowtowed with tears in her eyes, "I beg Mrs. to forgive me, it was the slave who didn't take care of Miss Nine, and I begged Mrs. to spare the slave and maid this time for the sake of the slave and maid's dedication......."

Madam Bai glared at her in disgust, "What howl, bad luck, let me kneel under the eaves, and clean you up when Miss Nine wakes up." ā€

He pointed at the green stamen again, "You can't change the veil yet, are you blind?"

The maids and ladies retreated and knelt on the bluestone brick floor under the eaves.

To say that Bai Qiyu is most disgusted with this place, is to kneel and punish at every turn, so sometimes when she wants to kneel to Madame Bai, her movements are stiff, and her knees will feel unbearable pain because of this.

At this time, it was winter, but Madame Bai punished them to kneel on the cold bluestone brick floor outside the house with a word...... Bai Qiyu couldn't bear it when he thought about it, but what could he do, this was just one of the rules of this era, and he couldn't change anything at all, and he couldn't do anything......
