Chapter 29 Dressing Change
Xiurong went to the warehouse to take the medicine according to the prescription, and then went to the kitchen to boil the medicine in person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because she didn't worry about the little girl, she made this decoction herself. Carefully pouring the medicine into a celadon bowl, the medicine was still steaming, she put it on the vermilion lacquer tray, and was about to leave with the tray, when suddenly there was a short sound of broken porcelain outside, and then a woman's voice burst out: "Damn little hooves! Where's the eye?! Are you trying to burn me?! ”
Then there was a whining and crying of girls and begging for mercy.
Xiurong recognized this voice, it was Mama Zeng's voice.
Mama Zeng outside seemed to be very angry, the more she scolded, the more ugly she became, Xiurong frowned, this Mama Zeng was young and older, and she was becoming more and more arrogant.
Xiurong temporarily put down the medicine in her hand, walked out of the kitchen, and searched all the way in the direction of the sound, but saw Mama Zeng standing on the side of the road pulling a little girl's hair and scolding.
Xiurong recognized the little girl, the little girl's name was Xing'er, and she was a third-class little girl in the grandmother's room. Xiurong hurriedly walked to Mama Zeng's side, took Mama Zeng's hand, which was about to hit Xing'er, and asked, "Mama Zeng, what's wrong?" ”
Mama Zeng was angry, pulled the apricot by the hair and said to Xiurong: "These girls are becoming more and more unruly, so they rushed over and poured a bowl of hot soup on me!" Want to burn me?! ”
The more Mama Zeng spoke, the more angry she became, and she stretched out her hand to hit this girl Xing'er again, Xiurong hurriedly stopped Mama Zeng, although this Xing'er was just a third-class little girl, but in the end, it was in the grandmother's room, if the young grandmother had no power and power before, there was nothing, but since Mrs. Zhou's illness, the young grandmother is in charge of the affairs of the house, and at this time to offend the young grandmother, I am afraid that it will cause trouble.
It's just that this Mama Zeng is old with her seniority, and she always relies on the old and sells the old, and acts as a prestige in the subordinates, and if she doesn't restrain herself, I'm afraid that it will bring trouble to Mrs. Zhou! So Xiurong persuaded Mama Zeng a few words.
Just when there was a lot of trouble here, Chunluo secretly walked around the kitchen from behind with a small food box, where Xing'er was crying, Mama Zeng was losing her temper, and Xiurong was softly persuading Mama Zeng, and the three of them didn't notice Chunluo who slipped into the kitchen here.
Chun Luo flashed to the kitchen, glanced at the bowl of thick bitter medicine on the table, and quickly opened his food box, took out the medicine that had been prepared long ago, and then put Mrs. Zhou's medicine into the food box. After changing the medicine, Chunluo flashed out of the kitchen with the food box and left quickly.
And here Xiurong seems to have persuaded Mama Zeng, Mama Zeng was still angry, and scolded Xing'er a few times before leaving. Xiurong sighed, Mama Zeng didn't know how to restrain herself, she just hoped that she wouldn't make any trouble. Xiurong returned to the kitchen while thinking about it, and saw that the medicine was still in the tray, so she took the tray and sent the bowl of medicine to Mrs. Zhou's room.
After arriving at Mrs. Zhou's room, Xiurong first put the medicine on the small table at the head of the bed, and then helped Mrs. Zhou to sit on the pillow. Mrs. Zhou took two sips of the medicine and felt that the taste was a little strange, the medicine she drank in the past was very bitter, but this time the medicine had a faint sour taste.
"This medicine tastes weird." Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but say.
Xiurong said: "This is a new prescription prescribed by Dr. Liu, which is different from the previous medicine, so the taste has changed." ”
Mrs. Zhou said "um", and did not suspect him, and continued to drink the medicine, and after drinking the medicine, Mrs. Zhou asked again: "Is it all arranged?" ”
Xiurong nodded and said, "It's arranged." ”
Mrs. Zhou's eyes lit up, and she said hatefully: "Since she is the first to strike, I can't take care of the old lady!" Let her taste my methods, too! ”
Xiurong hesitated for a while, and then told Mama Zeng what happened just now, Mrs. Zhou heard that Mama Zeng was so arrogant, and she couldn't help frowning, and said: "Now that the old lady and the old man are here, the power to manage things has fallen into the hands of Shu Yue again, is this Mama Zeng confused!" Isn't it asking for trouble to provoke Shu Yue at this juncture?! ”
After a pause, Mrs. Zhou said to Xiurong: "Xiurong, you wait and call Mama Zeng, and go to Shu Yue to make amends by the way, don't let Gu Ya take advantage of the loophole and take the opportunity to separate me and Shu Yue." ”
Xiurong said: "Yes." ”
……………………………………
It's also strange and boring to lie on the bed all day, Gu Ya sat against the bed railing, the carmine gauze tent had been pulled up with a dark red tassel rope, she was looking at a book of poetry in her hand, and after reading it for a while, she suddenly felt thirsty, so she called outside: "Xiaoqiu-"
Outside, it was quiet, and there was a crisp birdsong coming in from the window, chirping, as if singing a simple but cheerful song. didn't see Xiaoqiu come in, Gu Ya felt strange, and called a few more times: "Xiaoqiu-"
There is still no one.
When Gu Ya was about to call again, a girl walked in from outside, about eighteen or nineteen, combing a double bun, inserting a simple plain silver hairpin, and seeing that she was wearing a light green gold embroidered skirt and a dark blue palace silk, she looked very delicate. Looking at the outfit, it should be a second-class girl, Gu Ya felt that her eyes were angry, so she asked, "Where are you Yahuan?" ”
The maid hung her head to Gu Ya and said: "The maid is the maid in the grandmother's room, and the grandmother arranged for the maid to serve the young lady here. ”
Gu Ya looked at her again and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The maid said: "The maid's name is Zhenzhen." ”
Quaint "um", Zhenzhen ...... Since it was Shu Yue's arrangement, there shouldn't be a problem.
Gu Ya said: "You go and pour me a glass of water." ”
"Yes." Zhenzhen responded politely, turned around and went to the table to pour water for Gu Ya, her demeanor was elegant and natural, she had a kind of mood, and she was also very likable. Among the girls in the ancient mansion, this Zhenzhen is a little colored, and the behavior is decent, it is a pity for such a character to be a second-class girl, Gu Ya thought about it, yes, it is strange that Shuyue is unwilling to reuse Zhenzhen, the pretty girl can always arouse the evil thoughts of the masters, in case this big brother Gu Hua is obsessed with Zhenzhen, although it is normal for such a person to take a concubine, but looking at her husband on the left and a woman on the right, in the end it is uncomfortable.
It seems that Shu Yue is uneasy in her heart.
Gu Ya sighed in her heart, and asked Zhenzhen a few more words, Zhenzhen replied very decently, maybe this girl is similar and different from others, and Gu Ya also likes this girl quite a lot.
was talking to Zhenzhen, the little girl outside reported that Shu Yue was coming, and sure enough, after a while, Shu Yue led the girl Chunluo in, she saw Zhenzhen standing in the quaint bedroom, quite surprised, Zhenzhen was only a second-class girl, and it was not good to stay for a long time, so Shu Yue and Gu Yashi were a gift and withdrew.
After Zhenzhen left, Shu Yue sat down on the Huanghuali plum blossom stool in front of the quaint bed, Chunluo retreated to the outside of the house to guard, Shu Yue unconsciously glanced at the direction where Zhenzhen exited, and asked, "How could Zhenzhen come to your room?" ”
Gu Ya smiled slightly and said, "I'm a little thirsty, I called Xiaoqiu for a long time, Xiaoqiu didn't know where to go, Zhenzhen happened to walk outside, she heard me calling, and came into the house." ”
Shu Yue nodded knowingly. Gu Ya looked at Shu Yue, Shu Yue is melon seed face, eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes are quite narrow, and the end is charming and moving, in fact, although Zhenzhen is beautiful, this Shu Yue is no less than Zhenzhen. Gu Ya asked: "Sister-in-law, I look at that Zhenzhen's appearance and demeanor, which is quite good, and I don't know where she is?" ”
Shu Yue sighed and said: "In fact, that Zhenzhen was the daughter of Wang Chengzhong, the prefect of Liuping County, when she was eight years old, because of the case of Sun Shao'an in Pingyang, Liuping County, Wang Chengzhong was beheaded, Wang Zhenzhen's mother later died of depression, this Wang Zhenzhen sold herself to the ancient family as a girl in desperation, Wang Zhenzhen was originally a maid in the old lady's room, and later gave it to Brother Hua. ”
It turned out to be a young lady from an official family, no wonder her temperament was quite good.
Because Gu Ya had a good impression of that Zhenzhen, she said, "What does the eldest sister-in-law think of this Zhenzhen?" ”
Shu Yue looked at Gu Ya suspiciously, and then said, "There is a bit of color, which is outstanding among girls." ”
Gu Ya smiled and said, "But it's not good for the girl to be too dazzling." If I want to ask you for this Zhenzhen, I don't know if my sister-in-law is reluctant? ”
Shu Yue looked at Gu Ya for a while, and suddenly smiled, it was really convenient to talk to smart people. Shu Yue smiled: "If you like it, why don't you want to go." This girl is my branch to the sporadic small building, you can rest assured, although I don't treat her very much, but I have never treated her badly, she is also a smart person, she knows what to do and what not to do, as far as it seems, she and Mrs. Zhou are not close, and they are alone, and there is no intricate relationship in the house. If it's her, you'll be a great helper. ”
Gu Ya quipped: "If that's the case, why don't the eldest sister-in-law keep her by her side?" ”
Shu Yue was stunned, raised her eyes and saw the smile on Gu Ya's face, and knew that Gu Ya was laughing at her, so she pointed at Gu Ya's head with her slender index finger, and said, "I didn't find it on weekdays, you are so skinny!" ”
As she spoke, Shu Yue gradually smiled, approached Gu Ya with a solemn expression, and said softly: "The medicine has been changed." ”
When Gu Ya heard this, she also accepted the joke, she knew Shu Yue's ability to do things, and when she heard her say this, she was naturally relieved, she said: "In this way, in three days, Mrs. Zhou's illness will heal itself." ”
Shu Yue thought for a while, looked at Gu Ya, and asked, "Now that she is sick in bed, she has lost her position, why do you bother to save her again?" ”
Gu Ya smiled faintly and said, "Although she is sick, there are many people in the house who suspect that it is my fault, and the current situation is a double defeat." You are the biggest beneficiary of this matter, and sooner or later, the people in the house will suspect you. As the old saying goes, 'people have no trust, they don't know what they can do', and what people are most afraid of is losing the trust of others. In the end, she is her father's wife, and she also has the trust of her grandmother and father, if you want to defeat her, you must first make your grandmother and father distrust her, so that she will lose her prestige in front of others. ”
Shu Yue suddenly realized, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "When did you get the poison in her body?" Why can't Dr. Liu diagnose it? The people searched for a long time in the scattered small buildings, but they didn't find any clues? Even your personal girl Xiaoqiu doesn't know about it? ”
