Chapter 692: Almsgiving
Xu Zhengyuan's wail made Old Madam Xu even more upset.
"Old lady," the housekeeper's mother continued, "the second master's injury has used a lot of medicine but has not improved, what do you say, today's days are not as good as before, the second master's body is already weak, and now there is nothing to eat, and the body can't be made up for a while, and the slave and maid look at the second master in the past two days is getting thinner and thinner." ”
The housekeeper's mother's eyes flickered, and if it continued like this, the second master was only afraid that his life would not be guaranteed.
"Otherwise," said the housekeeper's mother, "let the second wife come forward to ask for ...... Pei ......"
The housekeeper's mother felt that it was not right to say anything, the eldest lady was about to be the princess of Qing, and it was inappropriate to call her Grandma Pei Si.
The housekeeper's mother didn't finish her words, and Mrs. Xu already knew what she meant.
Old Madam Xu's face sank: "There is no way for the imperial doctor invited by Liu Xiang, can she be cured? You were also deceived by those people and couldn't tell the difference between good and bad." "Since knowing Gu Langhua's life experience, the Xu family has not stopped for a day. Now that their families are ruined, these people are still bent on asking Gu Langhua for help.
The housekeeper's mother immediately lowered her head: "The slave just thinks it's big and small...... Gu's ...... Holding the Queen Mother's private treasury in his hand, he said that there could be no secret medicine...... The medicine in the palace is excellent......"
Old Madam Xu said, "Even if there is a secret medicine in the palace, Liu Xiang can bring it, our family is not so down-and-out that she wants to beg that person, she doesn't know the situation of the Xu family, she doesn't come by herself, do you want me to send her face over and let her beat her?"
The housekeeper's mother didn't dare to speak anymore, and when the room became quiet, Xu Zhengyuan's moaning voice became clearer and clearer.
"Then should we move to Westside?" the housekeeper's mother pursed her lips.
I heard that several princesses of the county presided over and asked the clan and dignitaries to clean up the empty mansions in Beicheng and Xicheng for them to live in, and the old lady asked Liu Xiang to inquire, and Liu Xiang asked the royal family to help leave a courtyard for them, and the situation over there was naturally incomparable here, and the old lady happily prepared to move over.
But now that the eldest lady has become Princess Qing, I don't know if it matters.
Old Madam Xu's eyes widened: "Even if she is named Princess Qing, will the entire royal family have to give her face? We live in the courtyard of the royal family, and it is not hers, what does it have to do with her? Those people are looking at Liu Xiang, not Gu Langhua." ”
"Liu Xiang has been in the DPRK for so many years, and she will never be able to catch up. ”
The housekeeper's mother breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what the old lady thought, as long as she was willing to move over.
"Song Yuan refuses to come back, and he also wants me to beg Gu Langhua," Old Madam Xu sneered, "Don't think about it, I just want everyone in the world to know that our Xu family has nothing to do with her." ”
……
A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and Sister Qiao took advantage of the people in the house to retreat, and quickly stuffed the things in her hand into Mrs. Xu's mouth.
Mrs. Xu Er was startled, and immediately tasted a smell of corn mixed with herbs between her lips and teeth, which was a medicine cake.
Sister Qiao raised her little face, her eyes shining: "Mother, eat it quickly, this is what was left when Grandmother Fang snatched it." ”
Second Mrs. Xu's tears flowed down, and she reached out to hold Sister Qiao in her arms.
"Mother," Sister Qiao looked at Xu Zhengyuan, who was weak on the bed, "You say, if my sister comes, will she be able to cure my father's illness? Can I make my father get up from the bed and still talk and walk with us as before?"
Second Mrs. Xu's face floated in front of her eyes: "Yes, your sister is always very powerful." ”
Sister Qiao no longer spoke, but quietly snuggled up to Mrs. Xu.
Outside, the rain was pouring down.
After a while, the rain began to drip in the kung fu room, and Sister Qiao felt more and more cold.
Mrs. Xu listened to the sound of rain falling in the basin, wondering if they could support it until the next year. She doesn't ask for anything else now, she just hopes that after the war is over, the family will return to Hangzhou to live a good life.
"Old lady," the next person's voice came, "the Cijun Palace's office has sent something." ”
Mrs. Xu and Sister Qiao went out to visit together, only to see that the next person moved a few boxes into the door.
When the box opened, there were brand new quilts and clothes, and a few food boxes were placed on the table.
Old Madam Xu was very surprised, and said again and again: "How good is this, it is a great kindness for Princess Cijun to lend us the courtyard to live, and now she is sending these again." ”
"You can take it," the steward of the Cijun Mansion said with a smile, "Our princess said, as long as the old lady and the wife don't dislike it, we can't help the second master's injury, but these are always there, and now it's an emergency, where can we be needed in the future." ”
Old Madam Xu's eyes were red, and she lifted the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes: "The palace is a charcoal in the snow, and our Xu family will always remember it in our hearts." ”
"Then you are polite," said the steward of the Cijun Palace, "We are also borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Mrs. Xu knew that Liu Jingchen had some friendship with the King of Cijun, and the Cijun Mansion did this in order to ask Liu Xiang to help him in the future, so that the relationship between you and me can be unbreakable, in the end, the son is unreliable, the subordinate is unreliable, and it is Liu Xiang who can make her rely on.
Old Madam Xu said: "Then the old body will accept it." These are indeed the things she needs most now, otherwise she will not only have to spend it in the future.
The steward of Cijun Wangfu smiled and narrowed his eyes: "If you don't accept it, you dislike us for not being thoughtful, our princess said, don't worry, we have cleaned up the house in Xicheng, you don't need to bring anything, all the household belongings are taken out of the library, and the second master's illness will be good after moving over." ”
After the steward finished speaking, he happened to see the second wife and Sister Qiao on the side, and immediately stepped forward to salute: "The princess specially mentioned Miss, Miss is the same age as our county monarch, if you want, you will live with the county monarch." ”
Second Mrs. Xu immediately said, "Then how to make it." ”
"Make, make," said the steward, "that is, the old lady and the lady should not promise anyone else, they must live in our courtyard, and do not let our princess wait empty." ”
The big stone pressed on Mrs. Xu's chest seemed to move away, and she finally got some joy in her heart: "As long as you don't cause too much trouble to the palace......
"No trouble, no trouble at all," said the steward, bowing, "in this case, the slave and maid will go back to our princess." ”
After sending off the steward, Mrs. Xu sat back on the kang, and the next person opened the food box and presented it to Mrs. Xu, and a strong aroma of food immediately wafted away, and everyone in the room couldn't help but swallow saliva.
The food box contained a whole fat chicken, while the other boxes contained delicate side dishes, hot rice, and a few plates of dim sum.
The subordinate immediately added food to Mrs. Xu.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at the second Mrs. Xu who was standing: "Give half to Zhengyuan, Zhengyuan will eat the rest, you two will eat." ”
Second Mrs. Xu was happy in her heart and took Sister Qiao's hand.
"Don't forget the kindness of Liu Xiang and the Cijun Palace," Old Madam Xu lowered her eyelids and said coldly, "This is not given by Gu Langhua." ”
