Mrs. Xia was looking out the window, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a white figure leaning out of the door, and when she saw her, she immediately curled the corners of her mouth and smiled quickly, but in an instant, the smile disappeared, and she coughed lightly twice, and then Yingxue helped her in: "Mother, why are you here?"

Mrs. Xia glanced at Wen Niang who was following them, and when she saw Wen Niang's eyes blazing, she bowed slightly towards her, so she took a breath and made her voice sound as calm as water: "A little girl just ran over and said that you fell into the water." ”

Mrs. Xu on the side opened her mouth wide, looked at the little lady on the bed and looked back at Xiaoyu, and saw that she was still wearing the clothes she had just celebrated her birthday, except that her face was a little pale, and she didn't look like she had fallen into the water at all.

Xiaoyu saw that there were outsiders, so she also followed her mother's example, and said "oh" coldly, explaining: "It's just a little bit, that stone is quite big, but I don't want to be loose, and I was about to throw myself into the water, so it happened that Wen Niang stood aside and pulled me." As he spoke, he stretched out his head to look at the girl lying on the bed and said, "Isn't this Miss Fang Yueniang, the cousin of Chen Biaoxiu's family?" Yingxue, go and call her aunt Mrs. Chen over. ”

While a few people were talking, the big girl who helped Xu Qiniang take away all the female dependents walked back quickly, and said softly: "Big lady, it's all settled over there." ”

Mrs. Xia looked at her without a trace, and saw that she had a duck egg face and delicate eyebrows, and was wearing a blue sprinkling cotton silk armor, revealing that it was a water-blue round-necked middle coat inside, and a pine green embroidered sweat towel was tied around her waist. Underneath is wearing a water-blue cotton skirt, which looks very neat and neat, not like the kind of reckless person.

Mrs. Xu on the side was not so reserved. Frowning and asking in a deep voice, "Shisu, what's going on?"

As she was talking, a middle-aged woman walked in wearing a light cyan flower-sprinkled satin gown, Ying Xue saw that her cinnabar horse-faced skirt was equipped with colorful embroidery to cover her knees, and the stitches and colors were very exquisite, not losing her mother, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised. The lady behind her lowered the curtain and lowered her head and followed quickly.

Xiao Yu saw that the lady glanced at everyone in the room sharply, and finally fell on Mrs. Xu's body, and asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't you say that Miss Xia fell into the water?"

At this moment, a woman stumbled in outside the door. It must have been Mrs. Chen, and as soon as she came in, she asked in a panic, "How is Yue'er?"

The girl on the bed heard her voice, and struggled to get up to speak, perhaps with too much force. His head tilted and he fell again.

Ying Xue saw the round-faced girl kneeling in front of the couch and just crying. couldn't answer half a sentence, so he replied with Xiaoyu in his arms: "Mrs. Chen, the slave maid doesn't know, Miss Fang, Second Lady Chen, and Sixth Lady Zhao are on the opposite side of the pond." Our girl stepped on the empty end of the pond and almost fell into the water, and the slave and the maid were busy taking care of the girl until she was settled. Only then did I know that a little lady on the other side had fallen into the water. ”

Xiaoyu took advantage of the time to speak and coughed again, and snuggled softly in Mrs. Xia's arms. whispered: "Mother, my heart palpitations, I want to go home." ”

Mrs. Chen's husband's family is Shangshu, and when she heard this, she snorted coldly: "No one is allowed to leave the house until this matter is clarified." ”

Xiaoyu coughed twice on Mrs. Xia's shoulder, and complained softly in her mother's ear: "It's so annoying." ”

Seeing that she still had the spirit to find fault with others, Mrs. Xia knew that she was just pretending to be pitiful, but she was a little relieved, but she also followed her daughter's meaning and said: "It's hot and stuffy here, and the imperial doctor will come over in a while, and we will add to the chaos here, so it's better to go to Ziyin Pavilion to listen to the news." ”

Mrs. Chen couldn't stop it anymore, so she had to snort and look at her daughter-in-law: "Don't cry, is this a good thing to cry?"

At this time, Grandma Xu San and Grandma Xia Liu also walked in quickly out of breath, and the sixth grandmother saw that Xiaoyu was listlessly leaning on Mrs. Xia, and hurriedly pulled Xiaoyu to take a closer look, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I followed the third grandmother to see how their chestnut cake was made, and I heard someone shouting: 'The little lady of the Xia family fell into the water, hurry up and cook ginger soup.'" I didn't stop to catch my breath all the way. ”

Zi Su's face flushed with shame when he heard this, and he hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt: "It's all the negligence of the slave and maid, and I didn't understand the situation and sent a letter to my wife and wife in a panic, which shocked several ladies, wives and grandmothers, and asked the eldest lady to punish her." ”

Grandma Xu Liu frowned and said, "You tell me what's going on first?" She wondered in her heart, Zi Su can be a big girl in the world, and she is naturally an outstanding character, how can she be panicked, and she can't even figure out who fell into the water.

Zi Su hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained: "Just now, a few little ladies were fighting carp together, the little lady of our family and the little lady of the Han family were on the bridge, the little lady of Chen Shangshu's family and the little lady of the Guogong Mansion were opposite Xia Niangzi, they threw bait at each other to see who attracted more carp." ”

Miss Xia said that she was too tired and her feet hurt when she walked, so she didn't follow across the bridge, and kept watching the excitement on the opposite bank. Later, the little ladies gave too much fish food, and I saw that there was a carp here that seemed to turn white, so I told the girl that I could not play anymore, otherwise the carp would die. I didn't want the girl to have to turn the white carp, and the slave didn't know how to fish, so she didn't dare to go down to fish, so Sun Niangzi volunteered to fish. ”

Mrs. Xia listened to it for a long time, but she didn't hear anything about Xiaoyu, so she couldn't help frowning.

Zi Su paused and continued: "At this time, the opposite Miss Xia thought that she was tired of standing, so she came to a big stone on the shore, and the slave maid saw that she was going to sit on it, but she did not stand firm and planted herself in the water, and the slave and maid were frightened and thought that she was going to fall into the water, so she hurriedly instructed the little girl to report to Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia. ”

When Zi Su said this, he glanced at Xiaoyu helplessly, and thought: "I can only say this, I used to hear the scholar say, I can't express it, I don't believe it, how can there be anything in this world that is not clear? ”

Mrs. Xia swallowed her saliva involuntarily, took a closer look at Shisu's expression, and then said astringently: "It's dangerous." ”

The sixth grandmother stroked her chest when she heard this, she was kind-hearted, afraid that Zisu would really be punished, so she hurriedly said: "In this way, I can't blame you for this." ”

Grandma Xu San saw Mrs. Chen frowning, and hurriedly asked, "Since this is the case, why did Yueniang fall into the water again?"

Zi Su sighed, couldn't hide the helplessness in her heart and continued: "Sun Niangzi saw that Miss Xia almost fell into the water, she was a little panicked, and she couldn't stand steadily and was going to fall into the water. I don't want Yueniang to slip under her feet and roll into the water. At that time, everyone was busy with Sun Niangzi, and it was a little too late to turn around and pull her again. ”

Several people were shocked when they heard this, and looked back at Xiaoyu with some confusion, Xiaoyu was at a loss by everyone, and said in a squeaky voice: "I'm not in good health, I'm a little tired after standing for a long time, and I want to sit down and rest for a while." ”

At this time, a maid came in with ginger soup, and Zi Su hurriedly took it: "How is Yueniang, the imperial doctor can't arrive for a while, so it's better to drink some ginger soup first to get rid of the cold." ”

Mrs. Xia sighed, turned her head and said to Mrs. Xu, "We can't help here, but we're delaying you, let's go to Ziyin Pavilion first." As he spoke, he was supported by the sixth grandmother and walked towards Ziyin Pavilion, and Xiaoyu hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and followed behind Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia glanced at her and sighed again, but she didn't say anything more.

After another half an hour, a maid came in and said: "Ladies, young ladies, the imperial doctor has just seen it, and the lady has personally sent two imperial doctors over, and she will take the girl into the palace at this time, so that the imperial doctor can take care of it." ”

Everyone looked at each other for a while, Xiaoyu scratched her nose and thought, "This is strange." Could it be that this Yue Niang has no relationship with her mother's family. ”

Everyone was obviously surprised, but they didn't dare to gather here to criticize the royal family, so they all endured the gossip and left and returned home. As soon as Xiaoyu and Mrs. Xia came out of the side door of the Xu Mansion, they saw the seventh master, the eighth master and Xue Shizi were waiting outside with anxious expressions, and the eighth master saw the carriage of the Xia family hurriedly urging the horse over, and asked next to the carriage: "Mother, how is Jiu'er?"

Xiaoyu hurriedly lifted the corner of the car curtain and said with a smile: "I'm fine." Tilting his head and seeing that Xue Yu was dressed gorgeously, he also leaned over and looked at her with concern, and said, "My cousin is not very good, she fell into the water, and in such weather, I am afraid that I will fall ill." Xiaoyu saw Xue Shizi's dazed expression, as if he didn't know who his cousin was, so he said, "It's Fang Jiayue's mother." ”

Xue Yu thought for a long time as if he remembered who Yue Niang was, and then he paused: "I'll go over and take a look." Saying this, the person didn't move, so Xiaoyu continued: "No need, she has been taken into the palace by her mother, and it is convenient for the imperial doctor to take care of it nearby." ”

At this time, Xue Yu was also stunned.

Xiaoyu looked at his expression and thought secretly: "Brother Xue doesn't know, it can be seen that this matter is strange, although I am not from a big family, but I have not seen in the history books that the little lady of the minister's family was sick and was taken into the palace to take care of her." ”

In the palace, Niangniang looked at the girl on the bed blankly, turned her head and asked Wen Shan: "This is not Miss Xia, whose little lady is this?"

Wen Shan was also a little confused, and looked at it for a long time before saying: "It seems to be the little lady of the Fang family, her mother is not in good health, she doesn't come out and walk around, she thinks she is old, and it will be a little late to talk about others." ”

At this moment, there was an attendant outside who said loudly: "The Holy Lord has arrived." ”

Queen Lang only felt bitter in her mouth, and hurriedly went out to greet her. After a while, the emperor took the empress's hand, stood side by side in front of the bed, frowned and looked at it for a long time, and then sneered: "Who is it that just passed the message, push out the staff twenty." ”

Queen Lang smiled bitterly: "It's not good to send it back to the mansion like this, let's raise it for a few days first." (To be continued......)
