Chapter 46: The Wound
At this time, the ladies shifted their attention to the arms of the maid by the pond.
That maid was Lan Xin, she didn't expect that she only went to the big kitchen to visit relatives, but suddenly the news of their young lady's accident came.
She hurried over, and just as she saw Shen Moyun tumbling out of the cold pool, she hurriedly ran to hold Shen Moyun in her arms, only to find that her young lady had already frozen as hard as ice.
At this point, she also realized that something was wrong, and she looked down, and after just one look, she burst into tears.
Just now, Shen Moyun had been soaking in the water, and everyone had never noticed it, but now except for the bloody water on the stones, Shen Moyun's two sleeves were shocking.
The light purple sleeves had long been dyed dark red, and they had not faded away after being soaked in the pool for so long, indicating that the blood stains had dried up a long time ago.
However, where did the blood come from the cuffs of this eldest lady of the Shen family?
Lu Shi took off the big stove on his body and covered Shen Moyun, and asked someone to move two of the stoves in front of her. Aunt Xia saw that Shen Moqing's stove was half dragged away, but she could only dare to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so she endured it.
Nalan trembled and tried to pull up Shen Moyun's sleeves, but no one expected that what was really shocking was the mottled blood stains under the lilac robe, and the sleeves of the beige woolen jacket under the brocade robe had already been stained with blood.
At this time, a mother-in-law shouted: "The doctor is here!"
I saw an old man with gray temples and more than ten years old being brought in. This is Dr. Xu who is sitting in the "Rejuvenation Hall" in Beijing. Since Dr. Xu and many of the ladies and ladies present knew each other, and because Xu was old, the ladies did not shy away from it.
As soon as Aunt Xia saw that the doctor was coming, she ran up in three steps and two steps, and led Xu Lao to run to Shen Moqing, who was coughing, for a consultation.
At this time, it caused the dissatisfaction of many ladies. The first person who is most disgusted with Aunt Xia is Mrs. Huang.
"Aunt Xia, haven't you learned a lesson yet? I have already reminded my aunt in the hall just now, I didn't expect you to be so reckless!"
Hearing Mrs. Huang's words, several ladies also followed you and accused me word by word:
"That's it! Does this aunt understand humility? Is it bullying Miss Shen for losing her mother? When did the eldest lady come out of rank after the second lady!"
"That's it! The old lady hasn't spoken yet, and she doesn't know what to say!"
"It's just her father, and her little concubine dares to show off her power in the house!"
"So, with such a mother, she will teach such a domineering daughter as Miss Shen Er!"
……
This is the case in her Great Zhou Dynasty, where the elder and the young are clearly distinguished, and there is no room for confusion, otherwise they will be criticized. With Aunt Xia's shrewdness and ability, how could she make such a low-level mistake?
The Lu family glared at Aunt Xia fiercely, what's wrong with this Xia family, how could such a clever person on weekdays do some foolish things today and lose the face of her Shen family and Xia family?
"It's good that Elder Xu is here! My two granddaughters have fallen into the water today, and I still have to bother Elder Xu to see if the two of them are in trouble?"
Doctor Xu glanced at Shen Moqing, then turned to look at Shen Moyun, and then squatted down beside Shen Moyun, "This young lady has purple lips and gray lips, and at first glance, the cold air enters the body, I am afraid that it is stricter than the ruddy young lady, I better see this young lady first!" After the old man Xu finished speaking, he took out a padded hand towel and began to take Shen Moyun's pulse.
Aunt Xia couldn't help but be even more annoyed when she saw that even a bad old man dared to show her face, but she didn't dare to attack, so she could only bite and bite her thin red lips.
The onlookers couldn't help but chuckle, who doesn't know that this Doctor Xu is a snob, and now many ladies are speaking for the eldest lady, there is no reason why this Xu Lao is not expected to return!
However, this Old Xu's brows became tighter and tighter: "Miss Shen's pulse is tight, and she is weak and cold, I'm afraid that this cold disease is quite deep!"
Looking at Shen Moyun's trembling lips, Nalan answered with tears in her heart, "Doctor Xu, our young lady was here in this lotus ...... many years ago" When the words came to her mouth, she glanced at the old lady's face, and changed her words: "Our young lady drowned once in a cold day many years ago, and she almost couldn't save her, and she has been suffering from some cold since then. ”
Doctor Xu touched his beard and nodded repeatedly, "No wonder! This is Miss Shen's shortcomings." After a while, the old man will prescribe some medicine to ward off the cold, and then take a bath with some old man's medicine bag, and he will definitely be safe within three days! However, if this eldest lady's cold disease is cured, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time and effort! In the future, when it comes to nine miles in winter every year, we must pay attention. After two or three years of raising like this, it will get better!"
Old man Xu finished taking the pulse, and when he saw Shen Moyun's cuffs, his eyebrows were directly typed into Sichuan characters.
With the help of Lan Xin and a mother-in-law, Shen Moyun's short jacket arm was pulled up, revealing the snow-colored middle coat inside, no, not snow-colored, blood-colored. The blood had already dried up and hardened, and because it had not been breathed in time, it had been running in the water for a long time, but at this moment the middle coat was tightly stuck to the skin......
When Shen Moqing saw this wound, she couldn't help but snort coldly: "Where did this injury come from? It must be some kind of bitter trick made by Shen Moyun, right? You don't want to be deceived by her!"
"What nonsense! If such a long wound is not treated in time, how can it still be soaked in water!" That old Xu scolded Shen Moyun unceremoniously.
Shen Moyun glanced at Shen Moqing, and said with a wry smile: "The little girl is also a last resort! This flesh wound is really nothing compared to being criticized by others!"
"Hmph! nothing?" That old Xu only gently pulled the sleeve of Shen Moyun's middle coat, and the heart-rending pain caused Shen Moyun to "hiss". "You know it hurts, right?"
I saw that the old man Xu took out a pair of long-mouth scissors from the medicine box, and began to cut her cuffs little by little, and every time he took a small piece of clothing, a piece of red blood and a white-soaked wound would overflow.
At this scene, many young ladies turned their heads and didn't dare to look at it, and many young ladies even cried.
"Girl, how did you get this?" Old Man Xu and Lan Xin asked in unison.
Shen Moyun looked up at the old lady, then at Shen Moqing, lowered her eyes and bowed her head: "As soon as my sister falls into the water, I will reach out and pull her, I can't swim and I'm afraid that I will lose my instrument if I wet my sleeves, so I can only roll up my sleeves to pull my sister." Seeing my sister in the water in every way uncomfortable, constantly sinking, and repeatedly choking on water, how can I, as a sister, be willing to do so? I panicked for a while, so I could only lie on the rocks and pull hard, but I used up all my strength, and my sister still refused...... No, I couldn't pull my sister even with all my strength......
I repeated dozens of breaths like this, and finally failed to pull my sister up, I was anxious at that time, for fear that something would happen to my sister, so I didn't take this wound to heart......
Later, the younger sister ?...... My sister blamed me, saying that I pushed him to drown her, and I was impulsive for a while, so I went into the water, and now, since my sister and I are safe, this matter is over......"
