Chapter 41: Catching Medicine
After Nie Siyun finished instructing Chunliu, he hurried out. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info she walked quickly and quickly, her skirt fluttered in all directions, swept over the flower path, and disappeared at once.
In recent years, as the second master's official is getting bigger and bigger, the old lady's requirements for her inner family have become more and more strict, no matter what, she can't lose the face of the Weining Hou Mansion. Especially the ladies in each room, they are required to do not swing their skirts, smile without showing their teeth, and sit in a square and elegant manner, so as to show everyone's ladylike attitude.
A group of maids were on the windowsill to watch Nie Siyun's disappearing back.
"Miss Seven is in such a hurry." Youyahuan muttered in a low voice.
"Miss is concerned about the third miss's condition, of course she is anxious." Chunliu said, "Don't you see that the third miss was seriously ill some time ago, how worried our young lady is?" Serving the decoction all day long, and the people under her to do it, she is not at ease, so she has to do it herself. At night, I was afraid that the next person would not be attentive, so Miss was in Sister Sanbu's bed, and the couch was on the ground, and the gentleman on the three beams was the first to know, and the first to rush over to check. ”
Chunliu's face looked distressed: "Finally, when the third lady's illness is cured, our young lady has lost a lot of weight, and she almost fell ill......"
Everyone nodded their heads. Among them, a little girl Huan is quite good at talking: "Actually, the slave maid thinks that Miss Seven is the best person in the world, the third master is the generalissimo who controls the army, and the third lady has the demeanor of a tiger girl......"
Chunliu smiled and poked the little girl's head: "Xiaocui, your mouth is really getting sweeter, when Sister Chunliu goes out of the house, I will bring you a string of rock sugar gourds back." ”
As soon as she heard that there was a rock sugar gourd to eat, the eleven-year-old girl immediately grinned.
Xiaocui is a third-class maid in the courtyard of the third lady, Nie Siyao, doing some rough work such as watering flowers, watering trees, carrying water and sweeping the floor, and her status in the courtyard is not high. The other girls basically wouldn't say a word to her except for instructing her to do things. Only Chunliu can afford her, and sometimes tease her on weekdays, buy her some snack gadgets or something, and over time, Xiaocui and Chunliu are getting closer and closer, and the relationship is even better than other maids in the same hospital.
"Scattered, scattered. Miss go get the prescription and grab the medicine for the third lady. Chunliu said as she drove the girls back to the house. If you look at it any further, you're going to be exposed.
Dispersed the maids, Chunliu remembered her words, and was very complacent. Her words were not wrong, everyone's eyes were watching, the young lady was waiting for the third young lady, it was definitely her best, and she didn't even feed the third young lady to drink the decoction. This carefulness, this endurance, I can see the girls in the house burst into tears, and even the nurse of the third miss said: "Miss Seven is really good to our third miss." ”
But who would have thought that this was just a trick used by the young lady.
Miss San's condition came and went, but she never got better. Often when I see that I am about to get better, I have a recurrence, and there are several times when there is a big omen, and a room of doctors is helpless, but it is strange to say that the next day, the condition will automatically improve again.
At this time, the careful Chunliu found that in the medicine garden in her backyard, there would be one or two herbs missing from time to time, and she couldn't name those herbs, and she didn't know the effect, but she knew that this must have a lot to do with the recurrence of the third lady's illness.
The loyal Chunliu, when the young lady did not hesitate to risk her life and left her in the yard, she secretly swore an oath: "Follow the young lady in this life, never give up, even if you pay for your life, you will be willing to do it, and you will have no regrets." ”
Smart as a spring willow, witty as a spring willow, and already knows how to cover up for the young lady. She went to tell the eldest lady that she had found a snake in the backyard and asked for some sulfur to drive the snake away. As soon as these words came out, the other ladies in the house didn't dare to run to the Shicui Pavilion anymore.
Now, seeing that Miss is walking so fast, there must be something urgent waiting for Miss to do. And she also vaguely guessed the purpose of the young lady to leave her here with the third lady, in addition to delaying time, if necessary, she can also think of ways to prevent the second lady from meeting the third lady.
As for what Miss wants to do, Miss doesn't say, she won't ask, she just knows that she just needs to do her own thing.
Nie Siyun went straight to the stables in the backyard.
In the stables in the backyard of the Marquis of Weining's mansion, the space is very spacious, enough to park five or six luxury carriages. However, in recent years, the Weining Hou Mansion has advocated diligence and thrift, mainly because it is afraid that this overly solid family way will attract the eyes of others, so as to invite unprovoked disasters. So, at the beginning of the year, the eldest lady, after obtaining the old lady's consent, sold the remaining five of the six luxury carriages, leaving only one carriage with double riding, which was reserved for the old lady. Then, five more medium-priced carriages were bought for the ladies and ladies of the palace to ride.
This move was strongly opposed by the second lady, but the eldest lady was unmoved, and went directly to the old marquis to ask for a message, and the second lady did not dare to speak out.
However, the second lady actually has a back-up move. She went to the old lady every day and sighed, saying how difficult the newly bought carriage was, knocking her waist and hurting, and saying that Yao'er's body was delicate, how could she endure such suffering?
The old lady favored the niece of the second lady, and also felt sorry for Nie Siyao's granddaughter, so she agreed to let the second lady borrow her own special double carriage.
Now the second lady is majestic, sitting in the old lady's carriage and swaggering through the city, obviously overpowering the eldest lady who runs the house. The eldest lady's nose was almost crooked, but she was helpless.
Today, the backyard was deserted, and except for the old lady's two-horse carriage, only an ordinary carriage was left alone.
The little guy who drove the car said that the old man was in a hurry to see the goods and used a carriage; The second master took a break today, made an appointment with several friends to go to the suburbs, and used three carriages, so there was only this one left.
Nie Siyun got into the carriage without thinking about it, and then ordered the little servant to drive. Go to the east back door.
The mother-in-law on duty at the east back gate was surnamed Huang, and Mrs. Huang poked out the probe and immediately walked over and opened the back door.
In the past two months, Nie Siyun has been going out of the house to grab medicine for the third lady, and Mrs. Huang has more opportunities to see her than her husband. As long as she raised the prescription in her hand, the mother-in-law didn't even bother to ask, and immediately opened the back door and let her out of the house.
The little guy who was driving the car was also used to carrying Nie Siyun, and when he saw that she was holding a prescription in her hand, he knew that she was going to grab medicine for the third lady, and as soon as he raised the whip in his hand, the carriage quickly drove towards East Street.
The last prescription was very tricky, saying that it would cost three coins of rootless water, four coins of corn that bore in winter, and five dried turtle bastards...... Wait a minute. The second master asked someone to search all over the capital, and really found these medicines in the Jishitang Pharmacy on East Street.
Since then, this pharmacy has become a place frequented by Nie Siyun.
