274:Strange (+1)
When Xia Ruan woke up, it was time again.
Sunlight shines through the carved window lattices, giving the room a touch of warmth.
The people around her have long since left, leaving her familiar breath behind.
Xia Ruan couldn't help but rub his eyebrows in annoyance, feeling that he seemed to be getting more and more lazy.
When Du Ruo came in to wait for her to get up, Xia Ruan couldn't help but specially ordered: "You come to wake me up earlier in the future." ”
As a wife, she doesn't know when her husband will leave, which is indeed a bit careless.
However, the soreness in his body reminded Xia Ruan that last night's lingering seemed to be too intense.
is obviously so cold and noble, how can he be like a different person in bed, changing tricks to 'toss' her.
"But Master Hou asked the slave and maid not to wake up Madame." While combing Xia Ruan's hair bun, Du Ruo was a little entangled in his heart, and hurriedly changed the topic, "Madam, Master Hou asked the kitchen to prepare medicinal food, and it is still warm on the small stove." ”
Xia Ruan looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and seemed to have tiredness on his eyebrows, so he was slightly puzzled: "Medicinal food? ”
She is in good health, where do she need to eat these things to replenish her body.
The husband is a little fuss when he does this, he thinks that the woman will take tonic after the first time, right? Moreover, last night was not the first night......
"Master Hou said that Mrs. always doesn't sleep well." Du Ruo replied honestly, "So let Mrs. eat some medicinal food to replenish it, the slave maid thinks it's okay, wait for Mrs. to recover." You can give birth to a chubby young master for Hou Ye. ”
Xia Ruan thought of Xiao Jiu's domineering in bed for the past two nights, and seemed to understand something. For a moment she felt extremely embarrassed. didn't pick up Du Ruo's words again.
After breakfast and leisure, Xia Ruan picked up the dowry list and looked at it seriously.
Her dowry was prepared by her mother herself, and she knew a little about it at first, but now when she looks at the gift list, her eyes are a little sour.
This time, her mother gave her almost all the valuable things in the family as a dowry, hoping that she could live a stable life by Xiao Jiu's side. In her previous life, her mother also paid for her silently, hoping that she would live a smooth life.
Xia Ruan felt panicked in his chest for a while......
After a while, Du Ruo walked over slowly holding a delicate sandalwood box. Then it rested on the table. Xia Ruan gathered his thoughts. Raised eyebrows and asked, "What is this?" ”
"This is the jade Ruyi that Concubine An sent to her." Du Ruo opened the sandalwood box and asked with some hesitation, "Madam, this jade Ruyi is too precious." The slave maid thought it was better to put it by the side of the lady. ”
This jade ruyi is made of ancient jade. It is the Queen Mother's beloved thing again. Concubine An Guiyi sent this jade Ruyi to her hand. It's a great honor.
The gift sent by Concubine An really shocked Xia Ruan.
She never thought that Concubine An would be able to get this jade ruyi from the queen mother's hand. After all. This is not an ordinary thing, but a jade Ruyi that the legendary Princess Changjun also has.
The Queen Mother used to be with the eldest princess, although they were mother and daughter on the surface, but in fact they were sisters, and keeping this jade Ruyi by her side was also a bit of a thought......
But why was the Queen Mother willing to take out the jade Ruyi? Xia Ruan couldn't guess the reason.
Speaking of the eldest princess of Daqin, Princess Changjun, her life is like a life that can be seen in a script, wonderful and illusory.
When Princess Changjun was born, Emperor Yuan Wen doted on her. This princess Changjun is different from other princesses in the royal family, she never forgets to read and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and what is even more surprising is that her riding and archery once made the people of the Song family bow down.
Such a perfect princess, like a piece of flawless jade, has become the pride of the royal family.
Maybe it's because she's too perfect, so the final ending is so miserable.
It is said that when Princess Changjun was in harmony, she sneaked out of the palace with Emperor Yuan Wen on her back, and it was this time that she met someone she should never have met in her life.
The princess of Great Qin actually fell in love with a commoner, and this commoner was actually from the Western Regions.
Emperor Yuan Wen naturally did not allow such a thing to happen, and he ruthlessly put Princess Changjun under house arrest, the talented princess in the past, but in the end she couldn't afford to fall ill.
At that time, the Queen Mother was not the Queen Mother, she was just a small palace concubine, she was not much different in age from Princess Changjun, and she took care of Princess Changjun as a sister in private. She looked at Princess Changjun's serious illness, and her heart was even more anxious, and while comforting Princess Changjun, she was also persuading Emperor Yuanwen.
But the well-behaved and sensible princess Changjun on weekdays is determined to be with this commoner this time.
Emperor Yuan Wen was angry, and he arbitrarily assigned Princess Changjun to marry a court minister, which made Princess Changjun even more resentful.
Later, a fire destroyed the Qingliang Hall where Princess Changjun lived......
Some people say that Princess Changjun escaped from the palace and was with the commoner, and some people say that Princess Changjun was buried in the sea of fire to die a clear will.
What the hell will be the end, no one knows.
It's just that the queen mother of the year, so she fell seriously ill, and then her health became worse and worse, and she believed in gods and Buddhas more.
Xia Ruan sighed and stretched out his hand to caress the jade Ruyi placed in the box.
When Emperor Yuanwen made this jade Ruyi, he hoped that Princess Changjun would be satisfied, but in the end, he didn't expect it to become like this. Whether Princess Changjun left or really died in the fire, her life will not be perfect at all.
"Just leave it in my room." Xia Ruan thought for a long time before saying to Du Ruo, "For other things, you can just put them in the warehouse." ”
Du Ruo nodded, and did not speak again.
When Xia Ruan finished reading the gift list, it was already noon, and Duran came in from outside the house, revealing a big smile.
Duran approached Xia Ruan and whispered, "Madam, guess who I met today." ”
Xia Ruan tasted the tea, and then asked unhurriedly, "Huh?" Who have you met? ”
Seeing that Xia Ruan couldn't guess it, Duran was very proud.
In Duran's eyes, Xia Ruan is an extremely intelligent woman. If Xia Ruan can't guess it, then it proves that no one can think of this matter.
The smile in Du Lan's eyes became thicker and thicker: "The slave maid listened to the instructions of the Hou Ye today and went to buy medicinal materials for the lady, and as a result, she met Sister Cuiliu and Wang San in the pharmacy. At that time, the slave maid thought that the old lady was sick, and hurriedly inquired for a while, only to know that they were taking medicine for the old man. However, the old lady became more and more afraid of the heat, and now it was about to enter autumn, so she actually bought so many ice cubes. ”
After Xia Ruan listened. A little thoughtful.
Mother afraid of heat?
Wrong.
If it is said that the mother in the past was afraid of heat and cold. Maybe she could still believe it. But over the years, my mother has lived in a small county town for too long, and she is no longer as delicate as before. On a hot day, her mother can still go to Zhuangzi to collect the accounts, and she has never shouted hot in front of her.
Mother is thrifty. I don't buy a lot of these ice cubes at all.
And. Let Wang San and Cuiliu do it themselves.
Here's the thing. It made Xia Ruan even more strange.
As Duran said, it looks like autumn is coming, what are you going to do with so much ice now?
Correct. She has been afraid of heat since she was a child, so there are a lot of ice cubes stored in the Xia family's house, and she no longer lives in the Xia house, so the remaining ice cubes are enough for her mother.
Could it be that there are other uses for these ice cubes?
Mother also doesn't like to eat cold food......
She always felt that something was strange and something was wrong.
"Ma'am?" Duran couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
In fact, these things don't need to be done by Du Lan at all, but Xiao Jiu personally ordered Du Lan to do it, because Du Lan knew a little about some medical skills, and he knew that Xia Ruan's physique was suitable for those medicinal materials.
Xia Ruan thought for a moment: "Where did you go to grab the medicine today?" ”
Duran didn't understand why Xia Ruan asked like this for a while, but he still replied honestly: "Ren'an Hall." ”
Ren'an Hall is the largest medical hall in the capital, and the doctors in it are all skilled, but the cost of consultation is also ridiculously high. Despite this, those aristocratic families will still go to Ren'an Hall to ask for a doctor.
In their eyes, the more expensive the consultation fee, the more powerful the doctor's medical skills.
Duran went to Ringang Hall because Ringan Hall had a complete set of medicinal materials.
Meeting Cuiliu and Wang San in Ren'an Hall is also an accident.
After all, although there are few people in the Xia family, it is not Cuiliu and Wang San's turn to do such small things as catching medicine.
That's why Duran was surprised and told Xia Ruan about it.
"Ringantang?" Xia Ruan pondered for a while, frowning slightly, "Dulan, you go to Ren'an Hall now to ask what medicine Cuiliu and Wang San asked for over there, and give some more silver." ”
Xia Ruan didn't know what the medical skills of Ren'an Hall were, but the people in Ren'an Hall were not as kind as the signboards, and some of them regarded wealth as their lives.
Therefore, if you give more silver, you should be able to ask what medicinal herbs Cuiliu caught.
Although Duran didn't understand why Xia Ruan said this, he still nodded and retreated.
After Du Lan retreated, Du Ruo added a cup of hot tea to Xia Ruan, and said worriedly: "Madame is afraid that something will happen to the old lady?" ”
"Hmm." Xia Ruan never hid it in front of Du Ruo, "The ice cubes in the ice cellar in the yard were bought by me personally, because I was afraid that Xia Rui would not sleep well in the summer, so I bought twice as much as I stored." Seeing that autumn is coming, I went to see those ice cubes before I left, and my mother and Xia Rui should have more than enough to use. However, when my mother went back to buy ice cubes and went to pick up medicine at Union Ann Hall, I always felt a little strange. ”
After Du Ruo listened, he had to admire Xia Ruan's carefulness.
In the past, when he was in the Xia family, Xia Ruan basically took care of the affairs of the Xia family himself, and even if the purchase of things in the outer courtyard exceeded a certain amount, Xia Ruan had to agree in person.
Originally, Xia Ruan didn't have to ask about these things personally, but Xia Ruan was afraid that the old lady would be tired, so he would take over these things.
It is also because of this that Aunt Lin relieved Xia Ruan to take care of the affairs in Chang'an Mansion.
But why did the old lady buy so many ice cubes? (To be continued......) (To be continued......)
