Chapter 243 The cold hits
That night, a north wind suddenly blew. The north wind swept through the eaves and through the treetops, blowing the cold into the cracks of the bones. Liu Ruoxi's room was lit early, the windows were tightly covered with heavy curtains, and the bronze smoke cage in the room faintly emitted a warm fragrance. The earth dragon was already hotter than usual, and two more charcoal basins were specially added to the ground.
Liu Ruoxi was wearing homely clothes and reclining on the couch, with a thin quilt on her body, gently stroking the Persian cat snowball in her arms, while watching Mama Chang take a few girls to do needlework under the lamp.
The two big girls in Layue and June, the two henchmen in the fifth and seventh days of the new year, and the second Mama Chang, all sat around the charcoal basin, doing needlework while accompanying Liu Ruoxi to talk. Mama Chang's needlework is excellent, and she brought it out in Layue and June, and she also made a good female red. The seventh and fifth days of the first year are still young, after all, they are childish/tender, but they can also be used for buttons or other small objects.
These people are naturally busy with Liu Ruoxi's dowry. Although there are people in the sewing room and embroidery girls invited from outside, there are some personal objects that Mrs. Liu Er doesn't worry about making for others, so she assigns them to these henchmen who serve her and Liu Ruoxi.
"This year's winter is extremely cold," Mama Chang is a little old, and she has some secrets in her stomach, she knows that Liu Ruoxi likes to listen to this, and she specially collected it to tell Liu Ruoxi, which can be regarded as relieving boredom and leisure. "I heard that people have frozen to death in the north. Our wife has a shop over there, and this year's soup kitchen will cost a lot of money......"
"My mother likes to do these good deeds." Liu Ruoxi said that for Mrs. Liu's kindness, both Master Liu and Liu Ruoxi supported it. "It's going to be cold on this day, and there will be soup soup in the capital."
"Not really." Mama Chang and a few girls all nodded.
In the capital, the soup soup is generally made by each family to send money and rice to several temples such as Daxiangguo Temple, and the temple will concentrate on the soup kitchen.
"Let's see how much money I have in that box, and then take it all together." Liu Ruoxi said.
"Girl. We also saved up a few dollars, and we also made merit with the girl. The girls in June all laughed.
"Good. You can take out two of them at will, and I will make up for them when the time comes, which is also your merit. Liu Ruoxi said.
At the end of the day, Brother Zhang sent someone to deliver the message, saying that he wanted to see the girl. At that time, the girl was at the old lady's place, and the old slave made his own opinion, only saying that the girl was not available. Mama Chang said suddenly.
"Very well, if there is a next time, I will still say so." Liu Ruoxi said.
The master and servant talked and laughed. It doesn't seem to be affected by Liu Ruojuan's incident at all. In the evening, Rong Chenghan came to Liu's Mansion again and told Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu that he had been persuaded by the Su family that there would be no change in his marriage with Liu Ruoxi.
Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu were still a little worried, but after hearing the news, they completely put their hearts back in their stomachs.
Rong Chenghan did things very properly, and even Liu Ruoxi had to admit it.
Mama Chang and others are also happy for Liu Ruoxi, and Rong Chenghan is someone who can be relied on.
“…… The princess's side. The girl doesn't have to worry too much. "Because I occasionally saw Liu Ruoxi frowning slightly and pondering, as if she had something on her mind, Mama Chang thought that Liu Ruoxi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship in the future was worried, so she often enlightened her like this." Don't talk about others, just look at our wife, isn't it good now. Besides, my uncle's temperament is not quite the same as our master. My uncle's temperament is stronger. knows that she is protecting the girl, and the princess is also level. ”
Mrs. Liu also means this by Mama Chang, and they all think that when they first entered the palace gate. Liu Ruoxi is afraid that she will not be able to smooth sailing, but it will get better slowly, and after a year or two of having children, Liu Ruoxi will have a new situation in the palace. Don't say that Liu Ruoxi is not the joy of her future mother-in-law, but the new daughter-in-law who is happy with her future mother-in-law will have to survive for the first year or two.
Mrs. Liu Er and Mama Chang have a very long-term vision for Liu Ruoxi, but Liu Ruoxi herself has not thought so far, and her thoughts are different from that of Mrs. Liu and Mama Chang.
What is going to be boiled in the first year or two, it naturally refers to a woman who intends to be a virtuous daughter-in-law, but she has no such plans. If she wants to boil, it is not her who will boil, but someone else.
For example, Rong Chenghan, such as Su Qingnuan, even if it is the princess Su. If Su Shi made trouble for herself, she would not be polite to Su Shi.
Of course, Liu Ruoxi didn't dare and couldn't tell Mrs. Liu or Mama Chang about such a plan. If these two people knew her true plans, she didn't have to marry the palace, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to resist the nagging of these two people.
"The eldest lady's side is quite quiet." Mama Chang said suddenly.
"They make trouble in their own houses, and they send away all the attendants. …… I also know that things don't sound good. "On the fifth day of the first month.
Mrs. Liu took Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan back to her residence and immediately closed the door. Although the servants were far away, some of the fierce voices in the room were still heard outside. The three of them made a fuss for a long time, and it stopped when the lights were held.
I just don't know what kind of result they will make. According to the girl who inquired and reported that Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan left Mrs. Liu's house respectively, and their expressions were calm.
Could it be that Mrs. Liu has found some good way to do it? Liu Ruojuan let go out this time, but she was afraid that she would not back down. And Liu Ruoyuan is not a person who will suffer losses and regress.
Although the north wind was blowing tightly, Liu Ruoxi had a good night's sleep. Waking up the next morning and looking at the ice flowers on the glass windows and the ice picks hanging down from the eaves, Liu Ruoxi knew that the coldest day of the year had finally arrived.
Under the service of Mama Chang, Liu Ruoxi first went to Mrs. Liu's house, and then followed Mrs. Liu to Mrs. Liu to say goodbye. Mrs. Liu suffered a breath that she had never felt before, and although she got up in the morning, she looked very energetic. Seeing Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi coming, Mrs. Liu's face was better.
"Come and sit down." Mrs. Liu greeted Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi, "In the morning, they boiled Yutian purple rice porridge, as well as the pepper oil and ulva sauce that was just delivered, it sounds refreshing, you don't like it, you can eat it with me later." ”
not only left Liu Ruoxi to eat, but also rarely left the second wife Liu. Mrs. Liu was naturally busy and agreed.
"The old lady loves to eat this light one, and there are pickled assorted side dishes in my village, which are also refreshing, so I sent them to the old lady to taste." Mrs. Liu said.
"Okay." Mrs. Liu is now very face-saving to Mrs. Liu.
After a while, Mrs. Liu San also came with Liu Ruoshan, and Mrs. Liu also left Liu Ruoshan to eat, but did not leave Mrs. Liu San, only said that Mrs. Liu San had a lot of things to do, so she asked her to be busy. Until breakfast was served, Mrs. Liu, Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan were nowhere to be seen.
Liu Ruoxi only thought that it was because Mrs. Liu ordered her to go down, and she didn't want to see Mrs. Liu these days, so Mrs. Liu wanted to avoid the limelight, so she didn't take it to heart. Everyone accompanied Mrs. Liu to sit down, and Mrs. Liu personally held the porridge and presented it to Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu was about to move her chopsticks, when she heard the chaotic footsteps outside and the frightened screams of the little girl.
"What's going on here!" Mrs. Liu put down her chopsticks, and her face was displeased.
"Back to the old lady, it's not good!" A little girl ran in to report, "The big girl, the big girl fell into the ice hole." ”
"Ah......" Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard the little girl's words.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Liu was busy asking, and outside the mess, Mrs. Liu San was taking people to the back garden, and it seemed that she didn't know the details for the time being. Mrs. Liu was busy and persuaded Mrs. Liu not to worry, and to wait for the news, maybe it was not as serious as the little girl said.
Mrs. Liu didn't have the heart to eat, so she only asked her to remove her breakfast, and sat back on the couch while locking her sisters. Peony hurriedly came over, took two pills and gave them to Mrs. Liu, and pressed/rubbed the temples on both sides of Mrs. Liu.
This is the pill prescribed by the imperial doctor, and the technique of pressing/rubbing the temples is also explained by the imperial doctor, and when encountering things, it can alleviate the condition of Mrs. Liu.
It was not good for Mrs. Liu to leave with Mrs. Liu, and it was useless for Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoshan to go to the back garden, so they stayed in Mrs. Liu's house and waited for news. Soon, Mrs. Liu San came back with people, and saw that she was still followed by a group of people, including Mrs. Liu who rushed to hear the news.
Mrs. Liu cried for the first time, and a few mothers-in-law seemed to be carrying a person, thinking that it was Liu Ruoyuan.
Mrs. Liu San entered the house to report to Mrs. Liu, saying that she took people to the back garden, as the little girl reported, Liu Ruoyuan did fall into the ice cave of the lotus pond, and it took some effort to save Liu Ruoyuan ashore. Now Liu Ruoyuan is unconscious, and her life and death are unknown.
The people serving below seemed to have been instructed by Mrs. Liu San, and did not carry Liu Ruoyuan into the house. It seems that Liu Ruoyuan seems to be more than lucky.
"Hurry up," At this time, it can be seen that although Mrs. Liu no longer spoils Liu Ruoyuan as much as she used to, and angers Liu Ruoyuan, but after so many years of affection, she still hurts Liu Ruoyuan in her heart, "Take the post of the eldest master and ask the imperial doctor to come." Please judge Cui Yuan and take the post of the third master. ”
Mrs. Liu commanded repeatedly.
Mrs. Liu San sent someone to ask for a doctor, and on the other hand, she asked Liu Ruoyuan to be carried in. Liu Ruoyuan was carried into the house, and Liu Ruoyuan saw Liu Ruoyuan's appearance clearly. Liu Ruoyuan's clothes were already soaked, with ice slag, her hair was messy, her exposed head and hands were colorless, and she was bruised and scared.
"Big girl......" Mrs. Liu was supported by peony, and touched Liu Ruoyuan tremblingly, and tears fell in her eyes. (To be continued......)
