166. Natsuhime's Troubled Times (6)
"Presumptuous...... Are the servants of your mansion so unruly?" Gongsun Ning said angrily.
"It's not as educated as adults!" Xia Ji replied unceremoniously, and then commanded the two apprentices left behind by the Shen Fu Doctor, "Why don't you two hurry up and help Lord Gongsun clean his wounds?"
That's what it means to drive people out.
Gongsun Ning didn't know how the treatment he had received when he came here today was so bad, could it be that this woman really took a fancy to Yixing's father? Why was it? Why was he? He and his conditions were obviously about the same! In any case, he must not leave like this today, otherwise he would not have to hold his head up in front of Yixing's father for the rest of his life.
"Madame doesn't want your son to succeed his father?"
Xia Ji saw Xiao Liu'er's behavior on the Liufeng Tower before, and estimated that she might betray her family, and she has been struggling with whether to save Gongsun Ning once!
There was no vaccine for rabies in this era, and she knew that it would be at least another 1,000 years before the relevant Chinese medicine prescriptions appeared. If Gongsun Ning was only bitten and died at the door of Sima's house, then his own family would be able to shirk it. But he was taken to Sima Mansion by Xiao Liu'er, and Xiao Liu'er told him that chasing the shadow was Nan'er's business. The guards he brought with him might have known about this.
Although they were temporarily blocked by themselves, if Gongsun Ning died because of this incident, the guards accompanying him would definitely be held accountable, and although they had no tangible evidence at that time, it would be troublesome to insist that it was related to their own family in order to get rid of responsibility.
So when Xia Ji came just now, although she hadn't thought about whether to save Gongsun Ning or not, she had already asked people to prepare Qianghuo, Duhuo, Poria cocos, Chuanxiong, purple bamboo root, ginseng and other things. Although Gongsun Ning offended himself just now, Xia Ji didn't think about it and left him alone.
Now Gongsun Ning is blatantly threatening Xia Nan's future, which makes Xia Ji really have killing intent in her heart. Thinking that the son of the original lord in the previous life died tragically at the hands of Gongsun Ning and Yixing's father, and Fu'er also died because of them, although these things have not happened in this life, if he is soft, it is conceivable that he will not use this matter to eat himself to death with his temperament? What should I do if I coerce myself to do more things in the future?
Besides, Sima is an official position higher than that of a doctor, and he has already clearly expressed his disgust with him, if Nan'er is Sima, he will definitely not succumb to him. Will he still help Nan'er? It's just to hang his appetite.
After thinking about these things, Xia Ji looked at Gongsun Ning again, as if she was looking at a person who was about to die, without fear or anger.
"Nan'er's affairs don't need to be done by Lord Gongsun. It seems that you don't need to deal with the wound anymore. Come on, send off!"
Gongsun Ning's face was so angry that he turned white. However, his guards had been arranged to other places by the concubine before, except for a personal servant, and he was now surrounded by soldiers and servants of the Sima Mansion. Xia Ji had to kick him out, and there was nothing he could do.
On the way back, Gongsun Ning thought about it for a long time, and he didn't know how Xia Ji and the female stream became so bold today. Gongsun Ning attributed the matter to Yixing's father, and he didn't think that women could actually be very powerful.
"Madam!" As soon as Gongsun Ning was driven away, Xia Ji saw the concubine who went to deal with Xiao Liu'er's affairs come to her with a frown.
"What's the matter?" asked Natsuhime as she sipped a glass of peach blossom brew. Although the variety of food in ancient times was not as abundant as in modern society, the food made was also exquisite and delicious, and many of them were not inferior to modern ones.
"Madam, the old slave was about to enforce the family law on Xiao Liu'er, and she suddenly said that she was pregnant. The old slave asked the doctor of the Shen Mansion to help her take a look, and it was really so!"
"Oh, why didn't she say it when she was in front of Gongsun Ning?"
"She said that she was not sure at first, and she was afraid that Madame would ......" Uncle Yu raised her eyelids and looked at Xia Ji's expression, and stopped talking.
"Afraid of me, what?"
"I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that Madame won't be able to tolerate the child in her womb!"
Poof! Natsuhime squirted out a mouthful of peach blossom brew she had just drunk. This little willow really thinks she is a green onion!
"Then how dare she say it now?"
She said that if she didn't say it now, she wouldn't be able to keep it if she really had children. ”
"It seems that our temple here is too small to fit her!"
What is this? Uncle Yu didn't have time to wonder, so Xia Ji arranged a new task for him.
"Uncle Concubine, you go and prepare a sedan chair, tie pink silk on it, decorate it with joy, and send Xiao Liu'er to Gongsun Mansion tomorrow with gongs and drums!
Walking a little slower on the road, I found a few people who could speak well while walking and publicizing, and said that Gongsun had taken a fancy to the maid in our house and often came to date her, and this time he was accidentally bitten by a wild dog. Now that the maid is pregnant, we only know about it, and we quickly sent someone to him. He won't have to make excuses to run to our house in the future. ”
"Yes, don't worry, madam, the old slave will do it properly. Uncle Fei agreed, and his face was full of pride.
If you insist on dealing with Xiao Liu'er, your own wife may end up with a reputation of being vicious and jealous of the maid. Now doing so not only sent Xiao Liu'er, a hot potato, out, but also explained the past gossip of his wife and Gongsun Ning. Pity...... It would be nice if we could solve the matter of the father of the ceremony together.
He didn't know that Xia Ji already had a plan in his heart for this.
Xiao Liu'er happily put on a pink wedding dress, said goodbye to Xiao Su, sat in the sedan chair prepared for her by her uncle, and swayed all the way to Wanqiu.
Xiao Su looked at Xiao Liu'er's happy appearance, and faintly felt in her heart that this matter would not be so simple. No master will be willing to help his betrayed servants make a good living. Although Madame is a good person, Xiao Liu'er betrayed her life-saving young master Xia Nan yesterday! How could she send Xiao Liu'er to the Gongsun Mansion of her dreams without any punishment!
Xiao Su felt that if it was him, even if he didn't want the other party's life, at least he would drive Xiao Liu'er out of the house empty-handed.
After all, Xiao Su is just a maid's knowledge, although she thinks it's not right, and she can't think of a reason, so she just decided to put away her past laziness, be diligent, and try not to anger Xia Ji.
The sedan chair man was not stable at all, swaying from side to side, and Xiao Liu'er's head was hit several times. She lifted the sedan curtain and said several times, but the people just looked at her indifferently and disdainfully, and went on going her own way. Xiao Liu'er couldn't, so she could only endure it, and secretly decided to wait for herself to give birth to a son for Gongsun in the future, and stabilize his favor for herself, so she went back to Sima Mansion to find Mrs. to ask these people to come, and slowly clean them up.
Thinking that Mrs. Lai's cowardly temperament, for the sake of Lord Gongsun's face, she would not disobey herself. Otherwise, how could he know that he was pregnant, and he didn't dare to say what he was doing, so he prepared a sedan chair and a guard of honor, and sent her to Gongsun Mansion with gongs and drums?
Outside the sedan chair, the people along the way saw this knocking and beating team, thinking that it was a person with a bit of status who wanted to marry their daughter to some dignitary.
It is said that Mrs. Xia of Sima Mansion is ** nature, and after Xia Sima died, she hooked up with Gongsun Ning and others, it turns out that there is another hidden secret! Sima Mansion is not lower than Gongsun Mansion, and she is also a member of the royal family, because Xia Sima died, and the maids in the mansion did not dare to deal with it themselves if they made a scandal, and they had to beat gongs and drums to send it to Gongsun Mansion, which shows that this orphan and widow is bullied enough on weekdays.
For a while, many people's opinions on Xia Ji have changed, although there are some other voices, but more people are full of sympathy for her.
After Gongsun Ning returned home, he immediately found a government doctor to see his injuries, but as soon as the doctor heard that it was a dog bite, and then saw that his arms and legs were full of injuries, he was about to fall down in fright. It's not that he doesn't dare to treat, Gongsun Ning is especially afraid of pain, he knows it, and it hurts to wipe the wound with wine, and it's strange not to be beaten by him. You must know that several of the doctors in front of him were all disabled and driven away by Gongsun Ning.
What's more, he had spent time in the countryside, and although he didn't know why, he had seen many people who had been bitten by dogs, and most of them did not live long, regardless of the recovery from their injuries. When the time comes, if the people of the Gongsun family are angry, their family will not want to live. He had to pretend that he couldn't handle the injury. Gongsun Ning scolded him and let people drive him away.
As if he had been granted amnesty, the doctor quickly packed up his bedding and fled with his family.
The government doctor couldn't cure it, so Gongsun Ning called the few doctors he knew to treat the disease. Everyone said that they would use wine to clean their wounds, and after Gongsun Ning scolded him several times, Gongsun Ning's mother made the decision and asked him to be tied to the bed and let the imperial doctor treat him.
Gongsun Ning fainted in pain, and when he woke up, he heard that Sima Mansion had sent Xiao Liu'er, and he was so angry that he smashed a room full of things. I don't want to see each other.
What he wants is Mrs. Xia, who wants this replacement! As for his son, he has no shortage of sons, what is so rare? What's more, he originally wanted to use this matter to make some more articles, but the other party took the lead, and it was difficult to make another move.
Now everyone outside knows that he has taken a fancy to a maid, and that he has been bitten by a dog, which is a shame!
When Mrs. Gongsun saw that her husband was unwilling to see Xiao Liu'er, she was overjoyed, and asked her to throw Xiao Liu'er into a house where no one lived, and provided her with a maid every day. She has always been unapologetic about these women outside, if she wasn't afraid that her husband would remember to ask in the future, she wouldn't let this little Liu'er enter the mansion at all.
Xiao Liu'er thought that she would be treated as a concubine, and there would be servants to call her in the future. Unexpectedly, no one cared about her in Gongsun Mansion at all, and she didn't see Gongsun Ning. She felt that this was all done by Mrs. Gongsun, and she secretly hated it in her heart, and only thought about waiting for the child to be born and then slowly fight with her.
In Sima's mansion, Fu'er is suing Xia Ji.
"Madam, Xiao Liu'er, this slut, actually changed all your makeup powder. It's too much!" Fu'er took a beautifully carved wooden box and opened it for Xia Ji to see.
"Your makeup powder has always been lead powder, but you see, this is obviously rice powder. Although it is the best rice flour, where can it be compared to lead flour? Your box of lead flour is worth at least one box of this rice flour!"
Natsuhime took the wooden box and saw that there was clumping powder on the edge of it.
