Chapter 18: The Qingming Tribulation (Part II)
The rain was still falling, and the eldest master was resting at Aunt Su's last night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Xiurong and some girls still went into the house to serve Mrs. Zhou as before, and in the bedroom of the house, through the ebony embroidered screen, they called Mrs. Zhou respectfully: "Big lady." ”
Mrs. Zhou's lazy response came from the room. Xiurong was slightly surprised in her heart, why was Mrs. Zhou's voice so weak? Could it be that you didn't sleep well yesterday? Bypassing the screen, I saw that Mrs. Zhou's face was a little pale, and her spirit was also aggrieved, and her face was a little sickly for no reason.
Xiurong was startled, and hurriedly squatted beside Mrs. Zhou's bed and asked, "Big lady, what's wrong with you?" How bad is your complexion? ”
Mrs. Zhou opened her eyes tiredly, and said lazily: "I don't know why, my body is very tired, and I have no strength at all. ”
Xiurong was shocked and frightened, and hurriedly invited Mrs. Liu to treat Mrs. Zhou, Dr. Liu checked the pulse, and then looked at Mrs. Zhou's face, and Gu Weiyong, who was standing on the side, asked, "How is the clumsy Jing?" ”
Doctor Liu stroked his goatee and said, "Mrs. Zun's pulse is floating and weak, like a lack of yang energy, and the invasion of yin and evil. ”
Saying that, Dr. Liu went to prescribe the prescription, and Xiurong took the prescription and handed the prescription to the girl Lirong to go to the warehouse to get the medicine. Gu Weiyong stayed for a while and then went out, only saying something like adjusting his body, and the indifference and language and spirit seemed a little ruthless.
No one expected that Mrs. Zhou would suddenly fall ill, Mrs. Zhou's illness, the affairs of the inner courtyard of the ancient mansion should have been naturally handed over to Shu Yue, the wife of Gu Hua, to take care of it, but Shu Yue was always a little young, so she took care of the affairs of the mansion with Mrs. Wang.
Most of the people in the house respect this young grandmother, but it is not excluded that some people want to bully the young grandmother's mother's family, and she has a gentle temperament. This Shu Yue also has her own means, as soon as she took over the affairs of the house, she got used to it in less than two days, and the house was also well organized under her care. After a few days, the people in the house saw her ability and secretly admired her.
Mrs. Zhou took the medicine prescribed by the doctor for a few days, but her health was still not good. I don't feel any pain when I lie in bed every day, I just blindly feel tired, my body is soft, and I don't have the strength to do anything.
This is also a strange disease, and later some famous doctors were found in the house, and each person said different things, and Mrs. Zhou's illness was only dragged on day after day. Gu Wan took care of Mrs. Zhou in the house every day, lest Mrs. Zhou's illness would not get better.
When Xiaoqiu told Gu Ya that Mrs. Zhou was sick, Gu Ya was carefully rubbing the paulownia wood piano on the piano table, stroking the cold strings, and listening to Xiaoqiu say that Mrs. Zhou's illness has not been cured, which is strange and worrying. Gu Ya just said "oh", then sighed softly, and said, "Mother's body has always been very good, and this illness is strange. ”
Xiaoqiu stood behind Gu Ya, secretly glanced at Gu Ya, and asked, "Miss, do you want to go and see the eldest lady?" ”
Gu Ya plucked the strings, and a clear sound sounded suddenly, which startled Xiaoqiu coldly, but Gu Ya smiled slightly, and said, "Mother is sick, why don't you ignore it as a child?" It's just that a young lady like me with a complicated status also depends on the time to visit the patient, if my father meets me, then I will be a bad girl. ”
Xiaoqiu hung her head and stopped talking.
The rain outside the window is still falling, the so-called spring rain, this rain has been falling for several days, and I don't know when it will stop.
Gu Ya sighed lightly: "Maybe I haven't found the opportunity to visit the patient, and I don't know if someone will come to the sporadic building to 'visit' first." ”
Xiaoqiu was puzzled, but Gu Ya didn't explain, looked at the drizzle outside the window, and when her mind moved, she stroked the piano, but it was a bleak and sad song "Yulin Bell", the piano sound was poignant, and the drizzle was like sorrow, which was particularly tear-jerking in this quiet and cold place.
Yee Yang Yuan.
Xu is it has been raining for the past two days, the old lady feels a little depressed, and her body seems to be a little unwell. The old lady saw that it was raining, and the ground was wet and a little cold, so she took pity on Gu Ya and said, "Ya'er, even if it is raining, you don't have to come over, I have many people waiting here, so you don't have to worry." ”
Gu Ya said gently: "Ya'er is not afraid that Qiu Cicada and others will not serve well, but she is just thinking that her grandmother is bored and wants to find someone to talk to or something, so Ya'er came over." ”
The old lady smiled, sighed again, listened to the rain outside the window, looked at Gu Ya's slightly thin clothes, and said, "You also have to be careful of your body, it is easy to get cold in this cold day, I heard that the Xiang girl is also sick." ”
Gu Ya answered, and after talking for a while, she heard a string of crisp jingling bells, and then a little girl came to report, "Mrs. Wang, grandmother, second miss, fourth miss, Miss Chen is here." ”
Soon Qiu Chan welcomed Mrs. Wang, Shu Yue, Gu Wanru, Gu Minru and Chen Lanying in. The old lady looked at Chen Yinglan and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need the little girls to report, you just need to listen, if there is a bell ringing, it is Yinglan who is here." ”
Chen Yinglan smiled a little embarrassedly, and Gu Minru also joked to Chen Yinglan on the side: "What grandmother said is that ding, it's like a bird chirping wherever it flies." ”
Chen Yinglan said with a smile: "I think Minru is like a bird, giggling and chattering everywhere, there are always so many endless words." ”
Gu Minru grinned and said, "In this way, we are the same kind. ”
Chen Yinglan smiled, this sentence sounded very kind. Gu Ya looked at the two of them, and sighed with emotion in her heart, a few days ago, these two people were still losing their temper with each other, compared to whips, but now that they look, these two people are much closer, yes, in the end, they are similar in nature, and they are naturally compatible. What's more, with Gu Feng's relationship, the two may be the future sister-in-law relationship, even if it is for Gu Feng's sake, the two will naturally not go too far.
The old lady looked at these Gu Wanru, Gu Minru, Chen Yinglan, and Gu Ya, smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said to the autumn cicada behind her: "Autumn cicada, take the hairpin that you collected the day before yesterday." ”
The autumn cicada answered, entered the inner room, and after a while, took a tray, and on the red velvet bottom there were some brilliant hairpins. The old lady said: "This is a hairpin ornament specially sent by the mother a few days ago, and I have been thinking about giving it to the girls, and it happened to come." ”
The old lady is the old lady's eldest daughter Gu Sirong, the current holy Zhaoyi Niangniang.
Gu Ya looked carefully, there are five different hairpins, a mutton fat jasmine hairpin, a red plum gold silk hollow bead flower, a hollow orchid bead hairpin, a begonia dripping emerald beads jasper hairpin, and the most plain white jade hibiscus hairpin, the brilliance is gone, all of them are of the highest grade.
The old lady asked several girls to pick one each, Gu Wanru chose a begonia dripping emerald beads and jasper hairpin, Gu Minru took a red plum and gold silk hollow beads, and Chen Yinglan picked a hollow orchid beads. Gu Ya took the elegant white jade hibiscus hairpin, and the old lady looked at Gu Ya, and she didn't seem surprised, as if she already knew that Gu Ya would choose the most plain hairpin. There was still a mutton fat-colored jasmine hairpin left, and Shu Yue took the last jasmine hairpin.
The old lady asked Gu Wanru about Mrs. Zhou's condition, Gu Wanru had some worry on her face, and said: "Mother's illness is always not good, except for her weak body and inability to get out of bed, there is no other illness. ”
The old lady hummed and said, "It's good to let the Xiang girl take a good rest, there are many things in the house, and the Xiang girl works hard all day long, but it's also hard." ”
Gu Wanru lowered her head, her face undiminished.
The old lady looked at Shu Yue again, and saw that she was dressed plainly, so she asked: "Yue'er, this house is big, and some things are troublesome to manage, especially some deceitful minions are also very difficult to manage, if you have any difficulties, go and tell Mrs. Wang, or tell Ya'er, let Ya'er tell me again." ”
Shu Yue responded, but unconsciously glanced at Gu Ya, Gu Ya still had that shallow smile on her face, listening to the meaning of the old lady's words, in many cases, Gu Ya has already represented the meaning of the old lady, it seems that this Gu Ya is really important in the old lady's mind. Now the old lady is the most respected in this house, with this old lady's love for the quaint, as well as the quaint scheming, if you offend the quaint, I am afraid that the future will not be easy.
On the contrary, although Mrs. Zhou will gain power sooner or later, but when it comes to scheming, Mrs. Zhou is far less quaint, and according to the form of the house in recent years, Mrs. Zhou is not very favored by her father-in-law Gu Weiyong, not to mention that in recent years, Mrs. Zhou has only been hostile to herself and has no goodwill, after all, Brother Hua was not born to her......
Comparatively......
Shu Yue looked at Gu Ya again, and a smile curled into her mouth.
