Chapter 1: Sickness
At that time, it was the time when the north wind was bleak, and the surroundings were covered in snow, and there was only a dead silence left under the foggy sky.
The black-haired woman in green clothes sat by the window, and the heavy curtains on the house were also shaking in the cold wind, and occasionally the ice slag hit her eyes, which was sharp and cold.
It was at this time that Chu Muran heard the shouts, mixed with the baby's weak cry, which made people feel chilled in the cold wind.
Her indifferent face finally showed a smile.
There are guests coming.
It is rumored that just sweeping the cracks in the Lin family's ground is enough for the people of the entire Los Angeles to eat for a year.
But it is the divorced wife of Lin Rui, the second eldest of the Lin family, Li Zhenniang.
Zhen Niang's daughter was burned when she was in Shen, and when she was half asleep, she was just crying, and her little face was flushed, and when she touched it, it was amazingly hot.
Frightened, Zhenniang hurriedly called the maid over, "Shuang'er, my sister is sick, please ask the doctor to come!"
The maid who called Frost was really taken aback, and ran towards the door in a panic.
The foot had not yet stepped out of the door, but it had shrunk back.
Shuang'er turned sideways, and Yu Guang clearly saw that Zhenniang was carefully holding her sister in her arms, but her face was full of anxiety.
She watched this scene in a daze for a long time, and suddenly her footsteps turned, and she ran straight to another place in the house.
Sister's little face is getting hotter and hotter, and Zhenniang is getting more and more anxious, holding her sister in her arms, pacing back and forth.
After a long time, the sound of footsteps finally got closer and closer, but it was not the doctor who was waiting for him, but the Lin family's grandmother Liu.
Although the Liu family is over half a hundred years old, the clothes on his body are more than Zhenniang's coarse linen clothes, but they are extremely rich.
I saw that she was wearing a reddish-brown embroidered Luo shirt, a long skirt of moon white and light rose red mixed with a brocade dress, the skirt and cuffs were trimmed with silver filigree, the cuffs were thin with pale yellow patterns, the light brown gauze cloak was draped over the shoulders, and the skirt was embroidered with large purple duck flowers, which looked rich and rich, and there was a little more disdain in the eyes of looking at the virgin mother.
When Zhenniang saw that it was Liu, her heart was half cold, but she could only kneel down and wipe her tears, "Grandma, my sister is sick now, you can do well, help my sister hire a doctor to take a look!"
"I can't do anything about this!" Liu glanced at Zhen Niang, looked at her hugging her ankle, and said disgustedly, "Zhen Niang, you also know, now this house is not as big as before, don't look at our house is so big, it is all empty inside, it is indispensable to spend money to see a doctor and take medicine!"
Zhen Niang knew the meaning of Liu's words, and immediately turned around and took out a silver hairpin from the box and handed it to Liu.
He almost knelt down and pleaded, "Grandma, there is only this silver hairpin left on Zhenniang, it should be regarded as Zhenniang's filial piety to you, and my sister's life depends on you!"
"I also have my difficulties," Liu Shi saw the silver hairpin, and there was a slight smile in his eyes, and he quickly took it and put it in his hand to weigh it.
With satisfaction in her eyes, she only said faintly, "Oh, what weight do I have in this house?
After saying that, he looked at Shuang'er who was standing at the door, and immediately scolded, "You stupid slave, what are you doing standing here stupidly, don't call Second Master Rui here!"
"Yes! Yes!" Frost leaned over, not daring to look at the two people in the room, and hurriedly turned and ran away.
Taking advantage of this gap, Liu put the silver hairpin in his hair and admired it carefully in front of the bronze mirror.
From time to time, he was even sarcastic, "I said that Rui'er is also true, my daughter is so seriously ill, and she doesn't show up, do you want to watch my sister die of illness!"
"Xu is just busy with business matters!" Zhen Niang hugged her sister in her arms and said timidly.
He just lowered his head, and his long hair fell down, covering the expression on his face.
Therefore, Liu Shi did not see that at this time, a line of tears slipped down Zhenniang's cheeks, setting off her originally pale face even more pale.
Zhen Niang said that the bowl was silent and Liu didn't speak, but just looked around the room.
As far as the eye can see, it is only simple and simple furniture, and even the bedding on the bed has more than a few patches.
Zhen Niang's room is just the most remote corner of the West Chamber, Liu will never set foot in it on weekdays, rarely come here, looking at Zhen Niang's bleak appearance, Liu couldn't help but look at the corners of his mouth up, his face was full of schadenfreude.
After waiting for a long time, no one came, and the Liu family was also annoyed, and was about to leave, Lin Jiarui's second master finally rushed over at this time, and saw Zhen Niang holding the daughter in her arms, frowned suddenly, and said impatiently, "What's the matter?"
Hearing the voice of Second Master Rui, Zhen Niang finally raised her head and looked at him with teary eyes, "Xianggong, my sister is seriously ill, please save her! This is your own flesh and blood, you must save her!"
"What should I do!" Rui'er picked his teeth and sent a little servant over, "Go to me and get some copper, just send these two girls!"
"Thank you, Xianggong!" Zhen Niang kept kowtowing while sobbing, but the tears didn't know whether they were happy or sad.
Soon, the little guy took the money. Rui'er Ye glanced at him, and the little guy just wanted to throw down those coppers, but Rui Er Ye yawned at this time and was about to leave.
At this time, there was a sharp sound, "Who promised this slut the silver?"
The people who came were dressed in graceful and luxurious, wearing thin gold silk smoky green yarn, and their low-hanging sideburns were obliquely inlaid with pearls and jasper. The woman came, smiling and swaying.
Li Yanran was not surprised when she saw the virgin lady kneeling on the ground, she just looked at Lin Rui and said lightly, "Xianggong, is it you?"
Put on a false smile.
Lin Rui shuddered, his previous laziness was swept away, and he hurriedly helped Li Yanran.
There was some panic in her eyes, her voice trembled, and she said, "The lady is pregnant now, but be careful, I just look at her pitiful, why are you angry?"
"People are just not happy when they look at you!" Li Yanran pouted and said angrily, "Xianggong, look at this virgin girl, half-old, what's so good to come from! And her daughter, with a yellow face and thin muscles, is just our Lin family's oil bottle!"
"It's late to cover it in the quilt, sweat, what's the big deal, if something really happens, then it's her life, who is to blame?"
"Sister!" Zhen Niang heard Li Yanran say this, her calloused fingers clenched the corners of her clothes, but her red eyes were staring at her from crying, and she begged bitterly, "Sister, for the sake of our sisters, please, save my daughter!"
"Who is fighting with your sister?" Li Yanran gave her a vicious look, "Old woman, you remember, now I am the main room! What are you, just an abandoned woman who has been divorced by her husband a long time ago, save you, and vainly try to spend every penny in our Lin family's house, let me tell you, you will die of this heart!"
