Chapter 6: Goodbye Brother
Mu Zhiyue remembered that her second cousin married in Fengyang, and her second brother-in-law Qin Se and Ming, her in-laws were sympathetic and took good care of her, even if her uncle's resignation did not affect her, she was very happy. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Looking at the beautiful and graceful, soft and weak second cousin in front of her, Mu Zhiyue really couldn't imagine that she still had such a strong side. After knowing this, Mu Zhiyan was no longer the fairy-like appearance in her mind.
Mu Zhiyue liked her straightforward, daring to think and act, and by her own will, so she secretly nodded and smiled at Mu Zhiyan to show her closeness.
The third aunt let go of Mu Zhiyue's hand when she obeyed the words, smiled heartily and said that she was confused, and turned around busily and ordered someone to invite Doctor Chang over.
Doctor Chang is the sitting doctor of the Mu family's pharmacy, and he also made a contract with the Mu family, so he is his own person, and he often comes and goes to the Mu family, so all the women and relatives do not avoid it.
The number pulse asked about the color, and after a check, he prescribed a prescription for blood circulation and blood stasis and two bottles of medicine to be smeared, and after understanding what happened, he added a soothing soup, and everyone was relieved to know that Mu Zhiyue was nothing serious.
Only Mrs. Mu looked at Dr. Chang suspiciously, and asked vaguely, "Have you checked it carefully?" and got Dr. Chang's repeated assurances before she didn't ask again. For the sake of prudence, before Dr. Chang left, the old lady called Ling Yan to give him some instructions before letting him leave.
The Mu family is a scholarly family, and the school is extremely famous, so there is no one in the entire Mu family who is not full of learning, and even a group of girls have opened a primary school in the house. Mu Zhiyue was able to leave the house today, so the girls in the Mu Mansion were not there, which made her feel a lot more at ease, and she really didn't have the energy to deal with more people.
Everyone talked to the old lady again, and the second aunt, who had been busy with the old lady, said to the old lady: "Mother, do you want to let the six girls go back to rest earlier, although fortunately they didn't suffer any major injuries, I'm afraid they are not lightly scared."
Old Mrs. Mu patted her forehead and said with a smile: "Look at me, I forgot that the six girls were still injured when I talked about gossip, let's disperse quickly, it's enough for me to keep the second girl here." ”
After speaking, he said to Mu Zhiyue Zhengse: "Go back and give birth to a good life, don't be naughty again." If there is any discomfort, send someone to your second aunt and ask Dr. Chang to take a good look again."
This tone seemed to be like Mu Zhiyue was a little demon king who gave the elders a headache, but it made Mu Zhiyue feel very warm. Holding the Cao Mansion on his shoulders for six years, how could he have had a little daughter who was coquettish, and now he was spoiled and said Don't be naughty anymore, and sighed in his heart, grandmother, don't be so sensational anymore, otherwise your little granddaughter will cry again.
Everyone said goodbye to Mrs. Mu and went back to their courtyard, and the elder brother had already been taken back by Mama Hong first, and only the five-room Fangxie Courtyard was in the West Garden, so Mu Zhiyue said goodbye to the elders when he left Ciyan Hall. Several elders carefully advised her before letting her go.
Seeing a few people and servants turn the arch on the east side and disappear, Mu Zhiyue exhaled softly. Don't show too much in front of your loved ones, so you hold it all the time, and now I'm finally at ease.
Walking dozens of steps to the lake, looking at the lotus leaf fields in the distance, as well as the lake pavilion built in the middle of the lotus leaves, breathing the moisture by the lake, Mu Zhiyue felt that after this toss, his heart was much calmer.
He stood for about a quarter of an hour before turning and walking towards the arched door on the west side. Ling Yan and Xu'er, who had just come back from chatting their teeth in the tea room, followed behind them step by step, and the two always felt that the six girls were a little strange, and the secret saying must be that the frightened horses had not yet eased, and they had to stare at the girl and drink the soothing soup first when they went back for a while.
Out of the arch is a long gravel road, yellow and brown cobblestones are mixed together, but the road surface is not so monotonous, and the sides are lined with green trees, even if you walk in the sun, there is shade. These are all things that Mu Zhiyue hadn't noticed before, and now he has walked inch by inch, as if he had just arrived in another world.
The corridor stretches far from south to north, and halfway through it you reach the entrance of the West Garden, where a hexagonal door stands. This Mu Zhiyue is more familiar, after all, her entire childhood has been spent in this West Garden. This door is open during the day, and at night in order to prevent the people in each room from running around, the second aunt will ask someone to lock it after taking charge of the house, so that it can be managed.
Everything is the same as when she was a child, Mu Zhiyue suddenly felt that it seemed very good to accept this change, if life really started over like this, would her fate be different?
On the left side of the courtyard gate of the West Garden is a rockery made of Taihu Lake stones, which is full of mountains and mountains, twists and turns, which is the style that the original owner had when he was there. After the merger of the three provinces, my grandfather said that although it was just an ordinary white stone, it was fortunate that the posture was beautiful, and it could be seen that the original owner had put his heart into making this rockery, so he left it without change.
On the right side is a long corridor, and when you step on the corridor and walk about 20 zhang away, there are two paths in front of you, one of which is the Fangxi Courtyard that leads to the fifth room, and the other is the courtyard that leads to the lobby brother and sister-in-law.
After walking a short distance along the path, I saw another ear gate, which was the Fang Xi Yuan. The first is the guest room and the manservant's quarters, and the second is the outer courtyard, where only the father and brother live. Because the population of the five-room room is not large, Mu Zhiyue lives in the main house of the third entrance, and the east wing room is the residence of Mu Jingyun, the sister of the third of the five-room house.
When she entered the gate of Fangxie Courtyard, Mu Zhiyue got the news that her brother was so tired that he fell asleep, the third sister had not yet gotten out of school, and her father was not at home, so now she was the only master in the entire Fangxie Courtyard. Knowing that these Mu Zhiyue were completely relaxed, she could finally be quiet.
Mu Zhiyue did not stay in the outer courtyard for long, if everything was true, there would be time to enjoy the scenery in the garden in the future. She was really tired, both physically and mentally.
Along the west verandah all the way to her yard, there was already a little girl who had come back first to ask someone to prepare things for her to wash. walked into the house quickly with the beaded curtain lifted by the little maid, and finally stepped into the boudoir where he had lived for many years, which looked familiar and strange at the same time.
Like the main room of Ciyan Hall, Mu Zhiyue's room is a standard room with one light and two dark rooms, and in the Ming Hall, there is an interstitial screen of red acid branches and five blessings and a black lacquered Luohan bed. Near the right side of the study, there is a Huanghuali round multi-treasure grid, on which are placed jade, porcelain and other antiques. I have the impression that once my brother hit it while playing, and broke a lot of things, and since then this multi-treasure grid has been replaced with an octagonal one, and even the things placed on it are mostly gold and silver, dendrobium, and stone.
Full of memories rushed to my face, and my footsteps seemed to know where to go spontaneously.
Following the footsteps to the west is his childhood bedroom, with a large kang inlaid with nanmu wood near the window, a rosewood carved copper-clad corner cabinet near the wall of the hall, a wenge red lacquer three-circumference dresser, and a stepping bed faintly visible through the silk screen through butterflies.
Yes, this is the place where I have lived for more than ten years, and after a few years, I can still smell the familiar smell. For the first time since Mu Zhiyue woke up, she was a little sure that all this was true, and she had really come back.
After changing out of the clothes that went out, and washing up with the lacquered copper basin, gargle, and washing brought by the maid, Mu Zhiyue felt that the whole person was immediately a lot refreshed.
As soon as he sat down on the big kang near the window, a man dressed in a first-class maid's costume walked in. Fourteen or fifteen years old, the thin Danfeng eyes are very clear, and the two dimples are very obvious when they laugh. Mu Zhiyue thought for a long time before remembering who she was, she was still young when her mother died, and her grandmother couldn't take care of her all the time, so she was afraid that the servants would treat the two brothers and sisters badly, so she gave one of her personal maids named Bai Lu to herself, the person in front of her.
Because she was a first-class maid from Ciyan Hall, Bai Lu's ability was self-evident, and under her management, Fang Xieyuan was even better than when her mother was there. It's just that Bai Lu is older, and when she was about to get married, her old son asked for her grandmother's grace and let go of the deed of sale to go home to get married. At that time, I seemed to have rewarded her with a lot of good things.
Bai Lu came in and curtsied to Mu Zhiyue and curtsied, and then restrained her smile and said: "The sixth girl is going to scare the slaves to death, this fortunately didn't hurt her face, and the Bodhisattva blesses people It's nothing serious, and when you turn around, you must kowtow in front of the Bodhisattva to thank you."
After speaking, he took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve that looked a little familiar and said: "Lingyan went to watch the little girl boil medicine for you, and I also asked her to go back and pick it up first, and the maid will give you medicine."
Mu Zhiyue nodded weakly on the kang, she never needed to care about these little things.
Bai Lu took Mu Zhiyue's hand and rubbed the medicine for her while talking to her, "The second lady just sent someone to say that she had sent an apology to Miss Table, and Miss Cousin also replied that you should rest for a long time, and she will come to see you again when she is free."
Mu Zhiyue nodded again and did not speak, the noon sun shone in through the window pasted with Korean paper, and the person who was baking became more and more sleepy, although there was a cool cloth under his body, he also felt a trace of heat, and a thin layer of sweat was on his forehead.
Seeing this, Bai Lu put away the medicine bottle and gently shook it with the fan on the low table on the side of the kang.
Then he said: "The slave maid heard that the girl who was shocked today is the second son of our Fengyang Mansion who sentenced Master Sun's family."
This matter has not yet reached Mu Zhiyue's ears, but she knows what happened before. Speaking of this Sun Tong family, there is some relationship with his own family, and Master Sun's sister-in-law is the sister-in-law of the third aunt and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rong family.
If you ask an official lady how she marries into a merchant family, you have to talk about this Sun family. Mr. Sun's grandfather was born in a lift, and his father was also a lifter, and when it came to Mr. Sun, he was still a lifter, and it was a coincidence that the three generations of the Sun family were all folded in the spring.
But Master Sun is still different from his grandfather and father, those two have a tireless heart that is different from ordinary people, and they don't take the test twice at a time, and they don't take the test three times twice...... I took the test until I was old. This is also a big talk of Fengyang people after dinner. Parents and grandparents are not engaged in production but only dedicated to studying, three years into Beijing costs a lot of money, the Sun family is only a small surplus of wealth, how can it be so squandering, so when the Sun master is not poor family, it is almost the same.
It happened that at this time, Master Sun's sister-in-law and Ji Ji, and people who asked for relatives came one after another, but the quality was uneven, including the Rong family.
