Chapter Twenty-Six: Confession
Although he was very angry, Liuliulang went back and asked Steward Cao to meet Mrs. Zhou, and explained in detail what he had added to the street.
Master Zhou couldn't help complaining that Mrs. Zhou was negligent in such a trivial matter, Mrs. Zhou was also very aggrieved but consciously ignored it, and the husband and wife quarreled a few words, and slept separately with sullenness.
Mrs. Zhou had a detailed discussion with her personal servant for another night, and then she had an idea.
On the second day, early in the morning, Mrs. Zhou personally opened the warehouse, selected the new clothes that were originally intended for the daughters in the family to wear for the New Year, and asked the maid to wrap up and step into the door of the Chen family again.
When they meet each other, they naturally ask the old lady first.
"It's much better, I can sit up." Mrs. Chen Shao received her and said with gratitude.
Can it really be cured?
Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed.
"It's the old lady's auspicious nature." She said.
"I'm about to have someone talk to you." Mrs. Chen said, "Just let the lady stay here for a while longer, with her, we can rest assured, and it is convenient to diagnose and prescribe medicine." ”
"I think so." Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, pointing to the maid behind her, "So I sent a change of clothes." ”
He sighed as he spoke.
"Because of his illness, this child has been eccentric since he was a child, he doesn't like to talk to people, I don't hide it from my wife, this child is not close to us, what is right or wrong, we can't say, we can't persuade it, if there is any offense, for the sake of her being sick since she was a child, she lost her mother when she was young, and she is lonely and pitiful, and I hope that Mrs. will take care of her." She said, looking sincere and helpless, and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.
Mrs. Chen naturally saw that Cheng Jianniang was lukewarm to the Zhou family, and she was not easy to speculate about other people's housework, but she didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to spread it out and tell her. I put down a little bit of mustard in my heart, but I have some relatives.
"That's what I said. Don't dare. She said busily, stretching out her hand to ask. Madame, please try the tea. ”
Tea, please tea, the difference between one word, the difference between intimacy and sparseness.
A smile appeared on the corner of Mrs. Zhou's mouth, bowed her head to thank her, and slowly took a satisfied sip of tea.
"But unfortunately, Mrs. Cheng gave the old lady an injection, and Mrs. will see you later." Mrs. Chen said.
"That's gone. I don't have anything else to do, just leave these things and give them a few more words. Mrs. Zhou smiled and put down the teacup, "She remembers the old lady's illness, and I distracted her when I saw it, besides, I am relieved to have Mrs. you take care of me." ”
Mrs. Chen's smile widened.
"Of course. Madame is self-assured. She nodded.
At this time, in Mrs. Chen's house, the curtain was opened, the wooden window was half-open, and the paper door was half-closed. The two girls put the newly picked flowers in the flower room in the hall.
The smell of flowers in the room was as if there was nothing, mixed with charcoal fire and medicinal incense, and the rancid smell caused by paralysis eating and drinking in bed. It's gone.
The girl set up the flowers and tiptoed out. lest you disturb the people inside.
Cheng Jianniang slowly twisted the last golden needle.
On the side, the Chen Shao brothers each pressed their father's shoulders and arms, trembling with their father's trembling.
"Alright." Cheng Jianniang said. Put the gold needle in the box.
Mrs. Chen was supported by Chen Shao.
"Happy, happy." He said, raising his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his face.
"I've taken medicine today, and in the afternoon, I can try to get out of bed and take a few steps." Cheng Jianniang said.
The three members of the Chen family were pleasantly surprised.
"Okay, get out of bed?" They asked incredulously.
All they want is to be able to save their lives, and they don't dare to think that they can walk again, not to mention, they have been paralyzed for so long and can get out of bed so soon?
"Oh, of course, if you don't want to get out of bed, you can lie down." Cheng Jianniang said.
This lady speaks strangely, and the three of them are already a little used to it.
"Thank you, lady." Old lady Chen said, and couldn't hide her excitement and sat down to give a salute.
Brother Chen Shao was busy following Shi Li, excited.
Great, great, godly, godly!
Looking at the clothes in the room, Cheng Jianniang did not speak.
The maid waved her hand to let the maid stand down, and helped Cheng Jianniang take off her blouse, which was already wet with sweat.
"Lady, these clothes are all sent by the Zhou family, do you see, do you accept them or not?" She asked.
"Receive." Cheng Jianniang said, looking sideways at the ground.
The handmaid replied.
With the improvement of Mrs. Chen, there are more and more visitors to the Chen family.
If you are seriously ill, you will not have to visit, but if the patient is better, you must come to visit, so that the visitee and the visited person will be more happy.
"Madam, Lord Dong and Madame have come to visit the old lady." The servant woman hurried in and said.
There were already four ladies sitting in the room, and they all laughed when they heard this.
"Just in time, they came."
Mrs. Chen smiled and got up to greet her.
It's not a coincidence, there were several groups yesterday, and they smiled and picked up the female dependents and sent them into the hall, the housekeeper made a look, and Mrs. Chen was a few steps behind.
"Madam, do these people still have to keep food today?" She asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Chen smiled helplessly.
"I don't think they're going to leave now." She said.
Walking into the house, the new Mrs. Dong first expressed her congratulations.
"I've seen it just now, the old lady is really much better." She smiled, "It's really gratifying, and there will be great blessings after the disaster." ”
"Yes, yes, this time I can have a peaceful New Year." Others chimed in.
"Okay, you can open the skylight and say something, what else do you want besides visiting my grandfather?" Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
Mrs. Chen saw that it was very good, her husband avoided Ding worry, and it was difficult to let go of her heart, and she was in a good mood now.
"I'm going to eat the yellow finches." Everyone said in unison.
Mrs. Chen laughed.
On that day, a colleague and friend who came to visit the old lady, Chen Shaoliuzhi had a few drinks, and recently the family likes to eat fried yellow finches with salt and pepper, so they use it as a side dish for wine.
The friend liked it a lot after eating, but when he was sick, he couldn't praise and praise a dish for a dish, as if he was there specifically for eating.
After he went out, he also personally caught the yellow finch and made it, but unfortunately the taste was never as good as the Chen family, and he was worried about it for a while. I couldn't help but say more, and so it spread. Some curious people came to visit in a hurry to eat, and they tasted it. Sure enough, I was amazed.
So the news of the good yellow finch made by the cook of the Chen Mansion came.
As Mrs. Chen's health became better and better, everyone did not shy away from it, one visited, and the other came to eat together.
"And." A lady thought of something, and said, "Can you introduce this miracle doctor invited by your family?" ”
Yes, the divine doctor is more important than eating.
How was Old Lady Chen's illness before, although the news of the Chen family's closure was not spread. But what news can be concealed in the capital, they all know that Lu Dao will not work for two or three months at most, but I didn't expect to invite this unknown miracle doctor to come, and it would be good for three days and five days.
Such a miracle doctor should get acquainted with each other.
Mrs. Chen was a little embarrassed.
"I really can't be the master of this." She said.
"It's not for you to call the shots, it's to introduce her, since she is a doctor, she naturally wants to take the treatment, is it difficult to hide?" Mrs. Dong said.
Mrs. Chen's face was even more difficult.
"She. Like, not a doctor. She said.
Not a doctor? What is that?
The ladies present were stunned.
Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly, feeling that she couldn't tell.
"Anyway, she doesn't take the consultation." She said. "Some people asked, but she politely declined."
It's polite to say that you declined. People actually rejected it very bluntly.
"At this time, she is dedicated to the old lady's illness, so let's wait for the old lady to recover." The ladies are also easy to talk to. They all laughed.
Maybe, Mrs. Chen said in her heart. Being able to cure diseases and being sought after by people should be no one who will refuse this kind of thing.
After eating and seeing off the satisfied guests, Mrs. Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where's Danniang?" She asked, thinking of something.
"At Cheng Niangzi's." The servant woman replied.
It's also strange, although this Cheng Niangzi is quiet, she always unconsciously makes people feel unapproachable, when she comes to the house, no one dares to come close to talk, only Chen Danniang goes to play with her every day.
I don't know how a fourteen or fifteen-year-old and a four or five-year-old child can play together.
"Don't let her make a noise to Mrs. Cheng." Mrs. Chen said.
The servant woman replied.
"So, what is Mrs. Cheng doing?" Mrs. Chen asked again.
There was something strange on the servant's face.
"Here, make clothes." She said.
"Sister." Danniang said with a look of reverence, "You are so powerful." ”
On the mat, Cheng Jianniang spread out the brocade, the scissors in her hand passed smoothly, and the maidservant helped to manage the threads on the side.
"yes, I'm amazing." She said.
The maids and servants sitting under the porch outside the door of the house glanced at each other.
Here it is again, this big and small always say that it is particularly in tune.
"Sister, I fried the yellow finch again at noon today, and I can eat five at a time." Danniang stretched out her small palm and said.
Cheng Jianniang glanced at her.
"It's not delicious." She said.
"Hey, it's delicious." Danniang shook her head with wide eyes and said.
"Yellow finch, use the yellow finch." Cheng Jianniang said, the scissors and needlework under her hands did not stop.
"How about the yellow finch?" Danniang asked puzzled.
"You ask the cook, go to the market, and see how the fish are made, and you will know the way." Cheng Jianniang said.
Danniang sighed.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it." She said happily, looked at Cheng Jianniang again and sighed, "Sister, you are so amazing." ”
"yes." Cheng Jianniang nodded and replied.
"Sister, father and uncle, they say you are a miracle doctor, are you a miracle doctor?" Danniang asked.
Cheng Jianniang stopped her hand and sat up straight.
"I think I'm probably more like, Cook," she said, looking down at the robe that had taken shape on the floor, "or tailoring." ”
Quzhou, Xiuwangfu.
King Xiu has been buried in the ground, and the funeral of King Xiu's mansion has not been removed.
Under the white lanterns at night, the huge Xiuwang Mansion is like day.
Princess Xiu's main room was lined with servants outside the door.
"The King of the County."
The sound of salutation came from outside the door, and the servants who stood there rose and fell like waves.
Wearing a white filial piety robe, a young man with a white belt strode over, his clothes were fluttering, his body was steady, his face was solemn, his eye sockets were red, and his expression was haggard.
Under the corridor, two kneeling maids stretched out their hands to pull the paper door, and the pearlescent green of the door poured out.
The teenager walks indoors.
"The King of the County."
Inside sit two rows of men and women, young or old, all dressed in filial piety, sitting upright at the same time, and then bowing.
