Chapter VII: Faking Illness
Soon, on the birthday of the old lady of the Wang family, Jin Xin was not in a hurry to let people send the original set of clothes, but deliberately waited until it was close to noon before letting Ziqin send it, and specially instructed him to be careful, careful, careful, and remember to be unnoticed.
Ziqin took the order, but Jin Xin smiled, Third sister, sister, I'm obedient, I came exactly as you asked.
Next, Jin Xin returned to the house, but pretended to be sick, she took a piece of cloth and wrapped it around her forehead, draped her hair, wore a water coat, and lay on the bed like that, weakly, but it really seemed that she was very sick.
Zhang's mother came in and saw it, she was startled, she was fine in the morning, why did she become so sick?
Over there, the people in the old lady's house were coming to ask her to come over and sit down, and they didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly went out and told the people who came, saying that Miss Fifth had suddenly fallen ill, and she was not lightly ill, and she had to find a doctor to take a look quickly.
The visitor hurried to reply.
When the old lady heard this, she was very worried, and immediately called someone to ask for a doctor, and she went to this secluded Wutong Garden to see her, regardless of her old age.
As soon as I entered the room, I only felt that the doors and windows inside were closed, and it was very stuffy, and the room here was not well lit and a little dim.
The old lady staggered to Jin Xin's bed with the support of Luan Ming, Jin Xin didn't expect the old lady to come in person, a little surprised, and a little emotional, this old man seems to really care about her granddaughter.
In such a wealthy family, people are unpredictable everywhere, and Zhumen dog meat stinks, but there is such an old man, who is dedicated to himself, cares about himself, and says that he is not moved, how is it possible?
She got up and wanted to get out of bed to salute the old lady, but was stopped by the old lady reaching out and stopping: "My good baby, don't get up, I'm sick, lie down quickly, don't lie down together, I'm cold, and my condition is more serious." ”
When Jin Xin heard this, he didn't get up, but his hand grabbed the old lady's hand, and his voice seemed to be a little choked: "Grandmother, why are you here?" It's going to take a lot of time to get around, you're getting old, and it's too hard. ”
When the old lady heard that she was sick, she still thought about herself like this, she was relieved and distressed, and said: "You are sick, and no one cares about you, if your grandmother doesn't come, who will come?" ”
Saying that, the old lady sighed again: "It's a pity that your father died early, and your mother is not helpful, although my old man has the heart to protect you, in the end, he is old, and a few of them are filial to me, but a few of them really put me in the eyes of such an old antique." I'm afraid that I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you for a lifetime, and in a few years I'll be gone, and no one loves you, but what should I do? ”
The old lady said sadly, as if she thought of Jin Xin's future situation, and looked worried: "You are the same child, why is your health so bad recently, obviously you were only sick last month, and within a few days, why did you fall ill again?" ”
Jin Xin listened, and only said: "I think it's because I got cold at night." ”
"Then cover the bed with more quilts."
As he was talking, over there, outside, a mother-in-law said, "Old lady, the doctor is here." ”
"Wait a minute, doctor."
The old lady responded and glanced at Luan Ming on the side.
Luan Ming came over, walked over, helped the old lady to the side and sat down, and then walked over and helped Jin Xin put down the bed net, only revealing one of her white wrists, and then took out a silk handkerchief and covered it on her wrist.
As soon as Qiē was ready, Luan Ming instructed the people outside: "Please come in." ”
The doctor came in, saw the old lady, bowed and saluted, the old lady nodded, but did not speak.
Luan Ming asked the doctor to sit down on the edge of the bed and said, "Doctor, the person is here." ”
The doctor sat down according to his words, stretched out his hand, and took Jin Xin's pulse through the silk handkerchief, then got up, bowed to the old lady, and said: "Old lady, Miss Fifth is fine, maybe she is too tired, and her blood is lost. ”
"Too tired?"
The old lady was puzzled: "She is a young lady in the boudoir, what is there to be tired of?" ”
After finishing speaking, the old lady felt that this kind of thing was asked to the doctor, how would the doctor know, so she said, "There is a doctor, send the doctor out." ”
A mother-in-law came in from outside, and led the doctor out.
Luan Ming had already walked over at this time and helped Jin Xin pick up the bed tent again.
The old lady looked at Jin Xin and asked, "Just now the doctor said that you are too tired, what are you doing every day to make you so tired that you are sick?" ”
The little maid on the side said at this time: "Old lady, the young lady has to make clothes for people day and night every day, and she hasn't rested well, so she is naturally tired." ”
"Making clothes?"
The old lady frowned: "Those few have called you as a needlework girl again?" ”
Jin Xin pretended to be angry and glared at Ziqi, and in the face of the old lady's inquiring eyes, he put on a look of not knowing how to talk about it, and after a long time, he said: "Everyone also looks at my dexterity and likes the clothes I make, so they ......."
"Silly girl, do you really believe that they mean that?"
The old lady said distressedly, and said to Luan Ming with a very ugly face: "I just said that they respect me on the surface, and they don't take me seriously as an old man in private, they have said it several times before, tell them not to bully Miss Five, you see, does what I said work?" ”
Luan Ming listened, and was also a little helpless, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only persuade: "Old lady, don't be too angry, it's not good to be angry." ”
