61. Regret not being at the beginning
The eldest princess of Langya, who had palpitations, hugged Jiang Yaoguang and was full of joy, "Buddha bless, if you have something to tell me how to live!" He hugged his granddaughter's hand tightly, and glared at the county lord of Shuyang angrily, "You are so bitter that you have hidden it, and you don't tell me about such a big thing as a pox." ”
The county lord of Shuyang smiled stupidly, when Jiang Yaoguang was sick, the eldest princess was sick, she had suffered hard in her early years, and when she was older, she had some minor problems. The county lord of Shuyang didn't dare to let the eldest princess know, for fear of aggravating her condition, so he united with his father and brother to hide Jiang Yaoguang's affairs. It wasn't until the grandparents and grandchildren were cured that they dared to sue the eldest princess, no, as soon as they heard about her, they immediately rushed over.
"Grandmother, don't worry, I'm all right, am I?" Jiang Yaoguang hugged the neck of the eldest princess of Langya to comfort her, and patted her back, "It's that I'm not filial, you're sick, and I didn't give you any help." ”
The eldest princess of Langya looked at her granddaughter's concerned and envious little eyes, her heart was soft, and then she noticed the marks left on her face, and her heart was like a knife.
Jiang Yao guessed what she was worried about just by looking at her eyes, tilted her face, and said crisply, "It'll be fine after a while, the imperial doctor said it's okay, Cousin Jing also found a famous doctor who is good at recuperating creams, or it won't be long before there is no trace left in the storage, and it is still beautiful!" ”
The eldest princess of Langya loosened her brows and looked at the county lord of Shuyang.
"A-Niang, just rest assured."
Langya Changgong was overjoyed, and said, "Changsheng's illness has bothered your second uncle for a while, and it is not easy to return to Beijing with him. ”
Lord Shuyang nodded, "A-Niang doesn't say it, I also remember it in my heart." "Right now, Xiao Jing is learning to run errands in the forbidden army, and he can just let Jiang Jin take care of him, which is more sincere than any thank-you gift.
The three of them talked for a while, and when it was time for dinner, King Wucheng invited someone to invite them. The group had a lively dinner, during which they were happy.
In the evening, when Jiang Yaoguang fell asleep, the eldest princess of Langya sat opposite each other to the county lord of Shuyang, with a solemn expression, "At this stall, the Hu family died of a sudden emergency, is Changsheng's illness related to her?" ”
The county lord of Shuyang said it 1510.
The eldest princess of Langya tugged at the cushion under her, her eyes were cold, "I just know that she is a fool, I don't want her to be so vicious and stupid, but fortunately she died!" Ah Jin is neat and very good. ”
The county lord of Shuyang sighed, if he didn't die like this, what else did the Hu clan dare not do. The Hu family repented and changed his past, such an extravagant hope, the lord of Shuyang did not hold.
"Hu is dead, but she still has two girls left, so she won't be angry with them, but she also has to prevent them from having a grudge in their hearts, and she will give you a cold drink, and you won't have a place to cry. Talk to Changsheng well, let her keep an eye on her, it is indispensable to guard against others, it is best to keep a distance and not hinder each other. The eldest princess of Langya reminded that in the end, it was a mother and daughter, and the blood was harmonious.
"Changsheng, I understand." The county lord of Shuyang was not without distress.
The eldest princess of Langya was stunned, couldn't help but sigh, and continued, "Jiang Yaohui and Ah Qi have signs, this matter can be big or small. In order to prevent trouble, I will find a suitable opportunity to talk about the grievances between the two rooms and His Majesty, that is, Ah Qi really asked for it in the future, and he will not allow it if he wants to come. "There is such a mother, when most people ask for marriage, they have to beat the drum in their hearts, let alone the royal family. If there is no accident, Xiao Qi is the next heir who is sure to be. If Xiao Qi really has a soft spot for the second girl, and she is a little bit of a cultivator, it will be a blessing or a curse for the big house, but I really can't say.
"I'm worried about A-Niang." The county lord of Shuyang was ashamed.
The eldest princess of Langya smiled, "I don't like to hear this, I am your mother, and it is not natural to worry about you." "It's better to betroth her early, so as not to cause anything unseemly in the future." ”
Shuyang County said, "The government also decided so, and she is just the right age to be a family." ”
"Her marriage, you just listen and don't interfere, so as not to cause a commotion."
"Don't worry, Auntie, I know it in my heart."
The mother and daughter were talking, and a maid ran in with a panicked face, knelt down and cried, "The fourth girl has smallpox, and the old lady sent a slave to borrow a few imperial doctors from the county lord." ”
The county lord of Shuyang was shocked, and while sending someone to inform the imperial doctor, he asked, "What the hell is going on?" "It's been twenty days since those things sent by Hu Shi were burned, and it stands to reason that if the infection had been infected, it would have been sick a long time ago. The county lord of Shuyang also breathed a sigh of relief for this.
The maid sobbed and said, "At the funeral of the second lady, the four girls cried for an old illness, and there was some fever at night, Lang Zhong only said that it was too sad, and after a few doses of medicine, the fever of the four girls subsided in the middle of the night. But when I got up one morning, I found that the four girls had a rash on their faces, and Lang Zhong said that it was a flower. ”
The county lord of Shuyang only felt bitter in his mouth, and the four girls did not have a trace of Hu's motherly heart, but they suffered because of her selfish desires, and only hoped that the Buddha would bless this poor child.
The eldest princess of Langya pressed the hand of the county lord of Shuyang and asked, "Where are the four girls right now?" ”
The maid replied, "I should be rushing to the Lilac Villa on Fengming Mountain." "The rules in the city are that everyone who produces flowers must go out of the city to avoid acne to prevent the epidemic from spreading.
"It's not far from here, hurry up and let the imperial doctor go over and take a look, and then bring the remaining medicinal materials in the house over, if you don't have anything, just send the word over."
The maid bowed to the ground.
The county lord of Shuyang assigned a few experienced maids who had served Jiang Yaoguang to come out.
When the others left, the county lord of Shuyang muttered, "The Hu family did this evil!" ”
Not far away, in the Lilac Villa, the Yu family is like a great enemy. The fourth girl's illness came quickly and violently, and there was a slightly bulging pox in the kung fu rash at this moment, and Yu's hand holding the fourth girl was trembling.
The eldest girl and the second girl looked at their flushed sister with hesitant faces and burst into tears.
When the three imperial doctors arrived together, after the consultation, they discussed with each other, the color gradually became solemn, Yu's face turned pale, and his heart fell straight down. She shook her body and asked in a trembling voice, "Adults, how is my granddaughter doing?" ”
Several imperial doctors glanced at each other, and the oldest imperial doctor Ye spoke, "What is the specific situation of the fourth girl Jiang, we have to wait for all the pox to come out before we can make a conclusion, now I will prescribe medicine for the fourth girl first, and give her a dose as much as possible." ”
Yu Shi fixed his mind, "I have to work for everyone." ”
Jiang Anhe, who came with him, glanced at his mother and daughter on the hospital bed, and raised his feet to catch up with the imperial doctor.
After taking the medicine, the heat of the fourth girl did not subside, and in the face of the worried Yu, Imperial Doctor Ye could only say, "The heat of the fifth girl also retreated after three days before, and it was also hot several times intermittently after that." "It's just that Jiang Yaoguang only had acne on the third day, and the heat is not so high, Imperial Doctor Ye didn't dare to say these words, and he already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Hearing this, Yu's heart was slightly relieved, and Jiang Yaoguang was almost complete.
On the third day, the four girls were covered with scarlet blisters on their faces and limbs, and Yu's eyes were cracked, and after several imperial doctors shook their heads and sighed with regret, Yu let out a wail in his throat and almost fainted.
Yu, who was burned inside, threw herself at the head of the fourth girl's bed, only to feel that her heart was broken, and she wanted to touch her granddaughter's face, but she was afraid of hurting her. Yu's hands slowly clenched into fists, and her nails pinched her palms stiffly, as if only this kind of pain could make her better, her eyes were red, and the blue tendons on her forehead were exposed, "I should have killed her back then, I should have killed her a long time ago." ”
The cruel resentment in the words made the eldest girl and the second girl frightened, and the two of them trembled, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Jiang Anhe, who was overwhelmed with grief, saw that his mother almost collapsed, and immediately dismissed the idle people in the house.
Several imperial doctors are begging for a living in the palace, and from Yu's gaffe, they have already thought of love and hatred, rich family grievances, and are thinking of avoiding suspicion and leaving, and immediately left without nostalgia when they heard the words.
The eldest girl and the second girl left with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and when they left the house, the second girl with tears like rain looked at the eldest girl in fear and helplessness, "Eldest sister, how can this be, how can it be like this?" ”
The eldest girl was also at a loss, her eyes were blank, and she burst into tears silently. Halfway through, she asked in a hoarse crying voice, "Hui'er, do you still hate it now?" When you see the fourth sister like this, do you still think that the elders are ruthless? ”
After the Hu family passed away, the Yu family didn't want the two sisters to have a gap with the family for the Hu family's affairs, so they talked to them several times. The second girl was either silent or perfunctory, and the second girl had resentment in her heart, especially when Jiang Yao's good news came back, she was even more resentful in her heart. Every time they are explained, the sisters often break up unhappily, and the eldest girl is worried about this.
The second girl stumbled back a few steps, tears flowing down like beads with broken threads. Jiang Yaoguang had smallpox, she had heard of it, but she had never seen it with her own eyes, and it wasn't until the fourth sister also fell ill that she didn't know that her mother had caused such deep harm to the fifth sister. Looking at the painful appearance of the fourth sister, she couldn't help but resent her mother's cruelty.
"Big sister, I was wrong!" The second girl covered her face and squatted down, crying silently.
The eldest girl smiled miserably, if the second sister knew that the price was the fourth sister's life, she would rather the second sister continue to be confused!
After all, the four girls couldn't survive and left in one night.
It seemed that there was Yu's anger when he walked with him, and after the four girls left, she fell ill, and several imperial doctors diagnosed her, all of whom were sick with her heart.
The fourth girl has a deficiency disease, so the Yu family doubles her affection, as if she wants to make up for everything that God owes her. The four girls grew up from childhood to adulthood, with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the Yu family did it herself, and she spent more thought on this granddaughter than several sons.
But now the granddaughter who loved more than her life died young, and she was still suffering before she died, and the blow to the Yu family was almost annihilated. The last straw that crushed her spirit was her inner self-blame and regret. It's her who looks ahead and backwards, and always wants to have all four corners. failed to take a firm stand to prevent her husband from hiring Hu for his second son, and later knew that Hu was stupid and ignorant, and did not make up his mind to divorce his wife, and even Hu wanted to strangle his granddaughter, and he didn't recognize her vicious face, and he didn't end her early. made mistakes again and again, added mistakes to mistakes, and finally harmed his beloved granddaughter.
Jiang Yaoguang, who was completely recovered, rushed to serve the sick, and what he saw was Yu Shi, who had gray hair, wrinkled face, and described Xiao Se, who was more than ten years old.
It is an exaggeration to say that a white head in one night, but when the pain is extreme, it can really drain a person's spiritual qi in just a few days.
The corners of Jiang Yaoguang's eyes were swollen and sour, and she almost wanted to escape, "Grandmother." ”
As soon as the words came out, Jiang Yaoguang was startled, and unconsciously, there was a cry in her voice.
Yu's eyes moved, and when he saw that it was Jiang Yaoguang, his eyes were fixed on her face, and guilt rose in his eyes.
Jiang Yaoguang hurriedly said, "Grandmother, don't worry, I'm fine, these will be fine in a few months, and there will be no scars at all." ”
Yu looked at her fixedly.
Jiang Yaoguang's expression was calm.
"Okay," Yu moved the corners of his mouth, his voice hoarse, "That's fine." Then he stopped looking at her, and did not say anything, but just lay there in a daze.
Jiang Yaoguang was stabbed in the heart and almost burst into tears.
No matter what the sisters said, Yu didn't say a word, as if they hadn't heard it.
In the end, Jiang Yaoguang and the others could only leave with a heavy heart.
In the yard, I met the solemn grandmother.
Today is the day of the cremation of the four girls, smallpox is not an unusual disease, and the body is buried deep and there is a hidden danger of infection, so it must be cremated. The scene was so tragic that they were not allowed to send the four girls on their last ride.
The eldest girl's eyebrows trembled, and she looked at Mother Sun and said, "The fourth sister is already?" ”
Mother Sun lowered her eyes and replied, "The second master has brought back the ashes of the fourth girl, and it is in the lobby." ”
The big girl's tears flowed down at once, and she hurried over with unsteady steps.
The rest hurried to follow.
Before Jiang Yao left, she couldn't help but look back at Mother Sun, who was a little flustered, and Mother Sun looked a little strange.
When Yu saw her, his eyes gathered a light and his lips squirmed, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.
Mother Sun hesitated a few times, and when the words came to her mouth, she turned around a few times, and finally closed her eyes and spread her palms ruthlessly, "This is what the old slave picked up in the girl's ashes." ”
Yu raised her eyes, her eyes widened in vain, and she stared at the three needles in her hand that were the length of her index finger.
"The same way to die as the second sister, she was pricked to death by a needle."
The words that Qi Guogong said not long ago exploded in her ears, making her dizzy and her whole body trembling violently
