Chapter 20: Faking Illness
Jiashan Hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When everyone left, and only Wu and the maid were left in the room, Mrs. Mo said to Mama Hou and Mama Hou kneeling on the ground: "Let's get up, you've been kneeling for a long time, and you haven't knelt like this for many years." ”
Mama Hou's eyes were hot, her legs and feet were weak, so she was a little unstable, and Hongxiu hurriedly went over to support her.
Old Mrs. Mo said to Wu: "You are doing things more and more disorganized now!" After sending Mrs. Qin away, she didn't let anyone go to Fengyi Yuan to take over, could the fourth child still be able to drive people away when he came back? But you just let the people in your house go, and rush to make trouble for the seven girls at this season. What's next? ”
Didn't you agree to that at the beginning? Now that I have eaten the fourth child's hanging, I am angry with me? Wu was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to confront him in person, so he had to say: "My mother reprimanded me right, but my daughter-in-law was careless." ”
She is about forty years old, thin and short, slightly hunchbacked, with a yellow complexion, a collapsed nose, attractive ears, thick lips and a square mouth, a pair of triangular eyes when looking at people, there are more white eyes and few black eyes, but when she lowers her eyelids, there will be a strange gentleness that does not match her appearance.
Seeing that she answered softly, Old Lady Mo became a little angry: "Don't talk about these useless things now, just say what are you going to do next?" Do you still have the right person to go to Fengyi Garden? ”
Wu said: "Although the daughter-in-law is in charge of the inner house, Fengyi Yuan now only has the fourth brother to live, and the mother still pointed out someone to be justified." ”
Although she was unwilling to hand over Fengyi Yuan to Mrs. Mo, the current situation could only be slowly figured out. Although the housekeeper mother in her hand can't go, it's easy to stuff a few girls in. Besides, the old lady has nothing to use except Mama Hou in her hands, and she is not afraid that the old lady will find those things before her.
Old Madam Mo couldn't think of any suitable person for her immediately, and said, "Then let's put this matter aside for now." Today's trouble, the fourth child is afraid that he will not let anyone go. I have to think of a way to let the seven girls leave Fengyi Garden first, so as not to have a next time for today's incident. ”
Wu's eyes flashed, and said: "The daughter-in-law originally planned to let the seventh girl move to Lixiangyuan tomorrow, but looking at the situation today, I'm afraid it's difficult, not to mention whether she wants to go or not, I'm afraid the fourth child alone won't agree." When I came back this time, the fourth child was like ......"
Old Lady Mo said: "The seventh girl seems to be much more docile when she comes back this time, but in fact, it has become a little difficult. She's such a big person...... Let people inquire who she is close to on the way to Huzhou this time. ”
Wu also had this plan, and said: "I originally thought that if I got rid of the old man surnamed Qin, there would be fewer traitors around her, but it seems that we were careless." ”
Mrs. Mo said: "It's not a big deal, find out who is wrong and send it away!" She's only a doll a few years old, and there is no one around to instigate, and there is nothing to stir up in the back! Let her move Lixiangyuan, I'll tell the fourth child! ”
Fung Yee Garden.
Mo Shaoli sneezed twice in a row and sat up from the bed: "Who said me behind my back?" ”
Zixuan hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped it for her: "Girl, be careful, don't catch a cold!" He also called Luzhu and said: "The wind is a little strong, so I closed the window on the south side and kept the east one." ”
Mo Shaoli said: "It's July day, and you still close the window?" ”
As he was talking, Qingcheng came in and replied: "The slave saw Mo Yan outside the door of Jiashan Hall, and he said that the fourth master was still inside. ”
Mo Shaoli said with a smile: "That's good, there will be no worries about having a father in Snow Kite." No need to start Plan B! ”
Zixuan and Qingcheng glanced at each other, "Girl, what is 'Comparison Painting'?" ”
"Is this a comparison painting...... Mo Shaoli didn't know how to explain to them about the comparison painting.
"The fourth master is here!" The voice of the green bead sounded outside the door in time.
"Coming?" Mo Shaoli "swished" into the quilt and turned inward.
Pretend to be asleep.
Zi Xuan looked at her and shook her head with a smile and walked out.
"How is Qiqi now?" Fourth Master Mo entered the east room, saw Zixuan coming out of the bedroom, and asked.
"Girl...... Have you ever drunk medicine...... Fell asleep. Zixuan was not used to lying to Fourth Master Mo, stumbling in her speech and dodging her gaze.
Mo Jun could easily see her dishonesty, but he understood something else, Qiqi must have been scared so much, afraid that he would worry about letting the maids help hide it! I couldn't help but become more and more worried, and hurriedly walked into the bedroom.
In the bedroom, the blue gauze tent on the small Nanmu stepping bed hung heavily, and the tent was silent, and the indoor curtains and curtains were dark and old, exuding a dark and damp atmosphere.
Mo Jun felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it, was silent for a while at the tent, turned around and came out to the second room, and asked Zixuan who came out: "Why don't you change some new tents for the girl?" ”
Zixuan said: "The eldest lady didn't send the curtain curtains, so the slave maid took the one brought back from the boat and used it first, planning to open the warehouse another day to find it." ”
Mo Jun suppressed the rising anger in his heart and said: "You have been taking care of the girl for a long time, the girl is still young, you have to take care of something you can't think of, if you have something to report to me, don't hide it." ”
Zixuan hurriedly agreed.
Mo Jun looked around at the furnishings in the east room again, and then told Zixuan to take good care of the girl, and walked out with a calm face.
The snow kite followed and sent it to the courtyard gate, and Mo Jun explained a few more words to her.
Mo Shaoli heard Mo Si leave on the bed, turned over and lifted the quilt: "Gone?" ”
"Gone." Zixuan hung up the tent and said in a low voice, "The fourth master came to see the girl, and the girl didn't get up to see her." ”
Mo Shaoli stretched out her foot to hook the embroidered slippers on her foot: "Do a full set of dramas, can't you earn your father's sympathy and guilt?" I'm all pointing to this to save our right of residence in Fengyi Yuan and rescue Mama Qin! ”
Zi Xuan said happily: "What does the girl mean is that the girl can take Mama Qin back by pretending to be sick?" ”
Mo Shaoli glanced at her: "Otherwise?" I have nothing to do when I am a girl, do I like to pretend to be a ghost? ”
After Mo Jun returned to the outer courtyard, he asked Mo Yan to go to Jiashan Hall and said to Mrs. Mo: "The seventh girl was frightened and won't come to Jiashan Hall at night. ”
Mo Yan went to Fengyi Yuan again to preach: "The girl was frightened, and the fourth master told the girl to rest well, and there was no need to go to Jiashan Hall at night." ”
"Daddy is mighty!" Mo Shaoli clapped his hands and said.
Therefore, she also had a reason not to go to the banquet, and had dinner quietly in Fengyi Garden and fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, Mo Shaoli woke up and stared at the top of the tent for a while, then called the snow kite and asked, "Is there anything that can be applied to the face to make people look like they are sick?" ”
Snow Kite was asked, she knew that fat powder could be used to hide the sick face and make people look good.
But what is it that makes people look sick?
Luzhu was walking in from outside with water, and said with a smile: "That thing slave has it." ”
"Bring it! Bring! Mo Shaoli sat up from the bed, "Hurry up and apply it to me, Daddy should be coming soon!" ”
Zixuan: "......"
Lu Zhu cleaned Mo Shaoli's face with warm water, then took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out some things and wiped them evenly on his hands, and patted her on the face carefully: "This is the man who was used by the slave and maid to pretend to be sick when the slave and maid ran away." ”
"That's a good thing!" When the snow kite saw that the green beads were only wiped a few times, the girl's pale face became haggard, and naturally she couldn't see any clues, so she couldn't help but praise.
Zixuan shook her head on the side: "You guys...... This ......"
Just after cleaning up, Qingcheng walked in: "Girl, the fourth master is here!" ”
Mo Shaoli hurriedly got back to the bed: "Tell Daddy that I'm awake." As he spoke, he pulled the quilt and revealed half of his face.
After Mo Jun walked in, he saw his daughter curled up in the green silk quilt with a sallow face, and couldn't help but feel distressed, and walked a few steps to the bed: "How do Qiqi feel now?" ”
"Daddy, I'm ......" Mo Shaoli struggled to get up.
Mo Jun hurriedly supported her: "Don't get up, Daddy just came to see you." ”
"But grandmother, I'm ......" Mo Shaoli wanted to sit up again.
But Mo Jun held her down, helped her tuck the quilt and said: "It's the same to go to my grandmother to ask for peace when I'm well, grandmother doesn't care." ”
Mo Shaoli seemed to settle down at this time: "Please ask my father to confess to my grandmother for me." ”
Mo Jun agreed, and told her for a long time, before getting up and leaving to go to Jiashan Hall.
In order to appease Mo Jun's anger, Mrs. Mo still punished the two grandmothers of Hou Wang, each for half a year. Naturally, Mama Hou's share she privately made up for it.
But although she was just making a fuss for Mo Jun, Mama Hou's face was swept away after all. For Mrs. Mo, sweeping Mama Hou's face is sweeping her face. Therefore, she was even more angry with Mo Shaoli in her heart, and she wanted to find Mo Shaoli's fault at the reception banquet, but Mo Jun came forward to ask for leave.
Old Madam Mo had no choice but to endure it all night.
I don't believe she won't come tomorrow morning to say goodbye!
But the next morning, no one showed up.
Mo Yan said: "The fourth master said that the seventh girl was timid by nature, and she was scared by Mama Hou, and now she needs to recuperate, and she can't come to ask the old lady for peace." ”
She's timid by nature?!
She is the only one in the whole province who dares to pretend to be sick so blatantly!
Wasn't it enough to pretend to be crazy and stupid last time? It's only been a few days? Sick again?
Old Mrs. Mo was crazy, but because of her identity, she couldn't rush to Fengyi Yuan and pull Mo Shaoli out of bed.
So, she endured it for another day.
But at night, Mo Shaoli's figure still did not appear in Jiashan Hall.
Old Mrs. Mo finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked people to find Mo Jun: "...... Lixiangyuan is quiet, the sun is good, and the seven girls are not in good health, so they can slowly raise their ...... Besides, Fengyi Garden was renovated according to the princess's regulations, and now that the fourth daughter-in-law is gone, it is not appropriate for the seven girls to live there again......"
The old lady suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke earnestly.
