Zhang Xing and the others finished eating, but Zhang Jinbao had not returned home.

Wei Yunhai looked at the sky outside, frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's going to rain this day, where did Jinbao go?"

Ye Hexiang was very angry with her son for pulling her hind legs, and said in a bad voice: "Who knows this? I knew I was going to eat, but I ran out. "Still facing himself, "Big brother, you don't have to worry about him, he will naturally know home when he is hungry." ”

Wei Yunhai was still worried and had to go out to find someone. Ye Hexiang hurriedly stopped him, "Big brother, where are you going to find him?" He's not a three-year-old, and he'll be back when it's time to go home. Ye Hexiang had made up her mind about this matter, she didn't want Wei Yunhai to be coaxed by her son and daughter again, "Big brother, you have to go to Hongchang tomorrow to see the land, so let's rest early." I'm done here, and if he hasn't returned, I'll look for it. ”

Wei Yunhai was pushed into the room by Ye Hexiang. Zhang Xing went back to his room, and after a while, there was a light rain in the sky, Zhang Jinbao sneaked home, touched the kitchen, ate some indiscriminately, and went to sleep.

The rain became heavier and heavier, knocking on the bananas under the eaves and crackling, Zhang Xing couldn't sleep, stayed up until the night was late, feeling that her throat was smoking, and her head was dizzy and uncomfortable. She knew she was cold, and she had been covered with wet clothes for too long today. She got up and prepared to drink some ginger water to ward off the cold.

The water in the teapot was still warm, so she poured a cup first and brought it to her mouth, but she didn't open her mouth. It was raining very much outside, like gold and jade falling on the plate, crackling and crackling, and the water vapor came in through the cracks in the doors and windows, with a different kind of freshness. She felt that her drowsy mind was much clearer. So he pushed the window open. It was dark outside. I could only hear the sound of rain falling. The oncoming water vapor dissipated the depression and dullness in the room, and also made her completely sober up.

Maybe only by being ruthless to yourself will things take a turn, and it has always been a good plan to die and live later.

Having made up her mind, she felt that the boulder that was pressing on her heart disappeared, and suddenly became extremely light. She put down the teacup and stripped herself down to only two undershirts. Then he went out and stood in the middle of the yard.

The autumn rain in September and October, there was already a slight cold winter, she shivered a few times at the beginning, and after standing for a long time, she didn't feel the cooling, but only felt pain in her body. The rain was too heavy.

She didn't know how long she had been standing, everyone was asleep, there was no light in the sky, and her vision was blurring. So he bit his tongue hard and forcibly held on for a while. Then she staggered back to her room, away from the rain wrap, she sensed the cold, and the wind came in through the crack in the door, and she felt that the cold seemed to be in her bones. She was intentional, and it hurt like this. So he sat down for a while, and when his wet clothes were almost dry, he climbed into bed.

In the second half of the night, it really started to attack, and it was cold and hot all over my body, as if I was in the June sun, and it was like being in an ice cellar, which was too uncomfortable. She didn't say a word.

The next morning, Wei Yunhai got up early in the morning, picked up a piece of dry food and went out. The Wei family now has nearly 100 acres of land, both far and near, most of which are high-quality land, and most of them are leased to nearby townships. And Wei Minwen has not yet stopped the momentum. This time, the twenty or thirty acres of land in Hongchang had just been bought, and he had to go and see it, and by the way, he would have a look at it and meet with a few villagers who were interested in renting it.

It was dawn, Ye Hexiang couldn't sleep, put on a dress and went to see the things sent by the Huaiyang Palace yesterday, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it. From then on, she was also a person who wore gold and silver. She looked at them one by one, and she was hungry. That's when I put things away one by one. When I got to the kitchen, it was a cold pot and a cold stove.

"Dead girl, it's so late, and she hasn't gotten up yet. Ye Hexiang couldn't help but scold. was about to go to Zhang Xing's room to call someone, and suddenly remembered Ye Yunlan's words. I came back to my senses. The daughter has to be well raised these days, and when the time comes, she will enter the palace to win the eyes of the prince, and there will be hope for it.

Ye Hexiang is not patient to rotate in the kitchen on weekdays, but this day she cooks and remediates four dishes. Zhang Jinbao came to the kitchen, and as soon as Ye Hexiang saw her son, she was angry, threw away the cloth on her body, and went over to pick up Zhang Jinbao's ears.

"Stinky boy, what did you tell your uncle yesterday?"

Zhang Jinbao shouted, "Mother, mother, I'll go to Hu Xiucai's house in the town in a while, don't make me can't get out." ”

Ye Hexiang snorted coldly, "What Zhang Xiucai, Hu Xiucai, if you don't make it clear to me, don't think about going out today." "She is not as talented as those now, her daughter is going to enter the palace.

"Heaven and earth testified, I didn't say anything, I just told Uncle Sù that someone from the Huaiyang Palace had come, and I wanted my sister to enter the palace to enjoy the blessings. Zhang Jinbao argued, "Mother, I really want to go out today, Hu Xiucai has the county exam questions in recent years, I told him okay, go to his house to see." Don't let your son's face be invisible. ”

Ye Hexiang has always regarded her son as a treasure, and let go of her hand when she heard this, "You really said that?"

Zhang Jinbao raised his hand and said, "The conscience of heaven and earth." He smiled and coaxed some soft words.

Ye Hexiang finally lost her anger, warned her, and said: "When your sister enters the palace, you will be prosperous in the future, and she will not give you a brother like you, who will she give to you? ”

Zhang Jinbao swore to the sky. Ye Hexiang pushed him and said, "Okay, okay, don't tell me all these nice things, turn around and pull me back." When the meal is ready, you go and call your sister to come over for dinner. ”

Zhang Jinbao answered and called Zhang Xing. But soon ran back in a panic, "Mother, it's not good, my sister seems to be sick." ”

Ye Hexiang was startled, and subconsciously thought that Zhang Xing was pretending, and while going to her daughter's room, she scolded and said, "Dead girl, I actually came up with a trick of pretending to be sick, see if I don't skin her." ”

When I arrived in Zhang Xing's room, I didn't look closely, I lifted the cover of the quilt suddenly, and scolded again.

"Mother!" Zhang Jinbao shouted loudly, "My sister is really sick, if you don't believe it, come and have a look." ”

Zhang Jinbao rarely has such a pair of Ye Hexiang. Ye Hexiang was stunned, and saw that Zhang Jinbao's face was pale, so he hurriedly leaned over to take a look. But I saw that my daughter Zhang Xing's face was white and miserable, her eyes were closed, she was not angry at all, and she was like a dead person. She reached out and touched it, and immediately felt hot.

"Quick, quick, quick, you go and call Wei Cripple over. Ye Hexiang said in a panic.

Wei Cripple is a nickname, in fact, his full name is Wei Anhua, when he was an apprentice, he broke his leg while collecting medicine in the mountains, so it was a little inconvenient to move, so the people in the village called him this nickname.

Zhang Jinbao rushed out to call Lang Zhong, Ye Hexiang didn't know the cause of Zhang Xing's illness, her mind fluctuated, thinking that the upcoming good thing might die because of this incident, she was angry and hateful, and felt that her life was miserable, so it was easy to wait for hope, but it was so unpleasant. She scolded and complained about God's injustice, and blamed her daughter for not being angry, saying that she clearly meant it, but she didn't want her to be a good mother.

Zhang Xing was groggy, she was used to hearing words, but this time she was even more in the ears.

Zhang Jinbao soon invited Wei Cripple. Wei Cripple took a closer look and said, "This is a serious cold." ”

Ye Hexiang hurriedly asked, "Does it matter?"

Wei Cripple said: "Let's take a few pills first." ”

Wei Cripple prescribed medicine, and Zhang Jinbao followed to grab the medicine. The next day, Zhang Jinbao was startled when he saw that Zhang Xing was even breathing weakly, and hurriedly invited Wei Cripple over. After Wei Cripple came, he pondered for a long time, asked for yesterday's recipe, and he didn't put pen to paper for a long time.

Zhang Jinbao asked, "Second Uncle Wei, how is my sister?"

Wei Lame glanced at Zhang Xing, who was motionless on the bed, and said, "Looking at the pulse and signs, it is indeed a serious cold, it is said that it will be better with medicine, but the apricot girl is ......" He shook his head.

Zhang Xing is even heavier than it looked yesterday.

Zhang Xing opened her eyes and glanced at a few people beside the bed. The medicine was splashed by her into the flowers at the door, and her illness naturally wouldn't get better so quickly.

Wei Cripple thought about it for a long time, reopened the recipe, and explained the usage in detail.

On the third day, Zhang Xing not only didn't get better, but became heavier, Zhang Jinbao screamed for a long time before he could hear her respond. Wei Cripple has no choice. Zhang Jinbao had to go to the town to invite Lang Zhong.

Zhang Xingshi woke up from sleep and knew a little about the things around her. She is too sick to get out of bed now, presumably the Huaiyang Palace's plan to take her into the mansion in the near future will fall through. Picking up a dying person into the mansion, no fool would do such bad luck?

Ye Hexiang often swirled around her bedside, scolding impatiently. She just didn't hear it. She won't be a little wife to others. No one wants to call the shots about her affairs. She also knew that Zhang Jinbao went to town early in the morning.

In the drowsiness, there were some different sounds in her ears, including the laughter and talking of children, and the loud noise of cars crashing. The staggered sound of a woman's high heels falling to the ground was mixed in. Every time, the remorse and hatred in her heart rolled out, and she was so painful that she wanted to die. She knew she was moving between the past and the present. Something engraved in her bones would not allow her to bow her head.

She also saw Ye Yunlan. Ye Yunlan's face looked very bad, and she looked at her condescendingly and quietly.

Ye Hexiang stood next to Ye Yunlan and spoke: "Yunlan, don't worry, Lang Zhong has said that Xing'er's illness is not a serious illness, and it will be cured in a few days." You can help me and say some good things to the son. As soon as Xing'er recovers, I will send her to the palace as soon as I get better......"

Ye Yunlan didn't even look at Ye Hexiang, only waved her hand, "You go out first, I'll talk to her." ”

Ye Hexiang licked her face and said, "Yunlan, what does she know?

Ye Yunlan turned her head and said in a cold voice: "Ye Hexiang, if you want to be satisfied, it's best to listen to me." ”

Ye Hexiang was stunned, in the end, her momentum was not as good as that of others, she softened and said: "Okay, good, listen to you, listen to you." ”

Ye Hexiang went out, Ye Yunlan looked at Zhang Xing quietly for a while, and suddenly asked, "Don't you want to enter the palace?" (to be continued......)
