Chapter 17: Woe

Along the way, the birds are tactful, the osmanthus is fragrant, I am quite interested, holding the lotus seed soup in my hand, and I am planning when to pick some osmanthus flowers, so as to make osmanthus cakes to eat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

After stepping through a long stone path and turning a corridor, I came to the courtyard where my mother-in-law lived. The room was quiet, and I stood in the doorway for a moment, then knocked lightly three times with two fingers. The three knocks on the door were filled with apprehension and nervousness.

A deep voice in the room said, "Come in." ”

I gently pushed the door open and closed it again. Then he turned around and said: "I heard that my mother has been unwell recently, so I specially boiled lotus seed soup for my mother, hoping that my mother's body can get better as soon as possible." ”

She raised her eyelids and glanced at me, and said lightly, "You are kind, bring it over." ”

I lowered my head, moved small steps, sent the lotus seed soup over, and then stood still.

She glanced at the soup soup, then at me, and said, "I'll use the lotus seed soup later, you can go back first." ”

I cautiously bowed, said yes, and went out of the house.

When I went back, I happened to pass by the Dangui Garden in the house, and I broke a handful of osmanthus branches from the shorter osmanthus tree. These cinnamon seeds are not enough to make pastries, although the osmanthus trees on the stronger osmanthus trees are prosperous, but now they are not easy to pick, and they have to be beaten with bamboo poles.

I sniffed the osmanthus flowers and walked towards the courtyard where I lived, and I saw from afar that the housekeeper was running towards the courtyard where I lived with something in his hand. I called out to him and said, "Steward Wang, what's the matter with your hurry?" ”

He stood stunned, and then immediately walked over to me. He walked to him, bowed, held a letter and said to me: "This is what the Liang official asked the slave to hand over to the young lady." ”

I frowned and said unhappily, "Didn't you say that? If he sends a letter here again, don't accept it. ”

Five days ago, the housekeeper sent me a letter saying the same thing.

He stood in front of him with his head bowed, still holding the letter, and said, "The young lady has taught you a lesson. The servant had already made it clear to the Liang officials, but he insisted on asking the servant to hand over the letter to the young lady. The slave is just a subordinate, and he really doesn't have the courage to refute the face of the Liang officials. The slave implored the young lady to personally talk to the Liang officials about it. ”

I was silent, took the letter, and said, "It's really a bit embarrassing for you not to accept his letter, but I still tell him to go back." ”

He saluted and turned to leave.

I said again, "Have you ever eaten the lotus seed soup cooked in the kitchen?" ”

He turned around, his face a little cramped, and replied, "I've eaten it." After a pause, he said, "The young lady is really good at cooking. ”

I smiled and waved him away.

Entering the courtyard, Yu'er blocked the door, holding a bowl in her hand, and said, "If my mother doesn't come back, the lotus seed soup will be eaten by Yu'er." ”

I poked into the room and saw that Yue Ying was bringing a bowl of lotus seed soup to the table. I joked with Yu'er: "How much can Yu'er's little belly hold?" ”

She freed up one hand, patted her round belly, and said, "Yu'er has eaten enough." Mother, look, is Yu'er's belly getting bigger? ”

I smiled and rubbed her hair, and took the letter into the back room.

Yueying glanced at me in surprise and said, "Zhu Niang......" but stopped talking.

I sat down at the table, scooped the lotus seed soup with a spoon, and said, "It's a letter from the master of the Liang hall." ”

She wondered, "Why doesn't Zhu Niang take a look?" What if Liang Gongzi has something important to find Zhu Niang? ”

I didn't think so: "He is not sick or sick, and he is neither poor nor cheap, so why is there anything important to find me." ”

She pursed her lips and said slowly: "Yue Ying remembers that the relationship between Zhu Niang and Liang Gongzi was good in the past." Why does it look awkward now? ”

I swallowed the soup in my mouth and explained to her: "Yueying, I am already a wife, if I have frequent contacts with other men, others may not have what kind of reverie." So, for the time being, I'm not going to associate with him, no, in the future. ”

She opened her mouth slightly, looking like she wanted to say something and stopped. I raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

She lowered her eyes, raised them again, and said in a low voice: "But Zhu Niang said in the past that Zhu Niang only does what she thinks is right, so she will not care about other people's gossip." ”

I was stunned, thinking, that's my Wanchun style, but today is definitely not the past, I can't always rely on my own temperament. I patted her on the shoulder and said, "Now I want to change." ”

She was silent for a while, and then said, "That's fine." ”

Only then did I change my mind and focus all my attention on the lotus seed soup in front of me. Presumably, what the steward Wang said just now is not a clichΓ©, my lotus seed soup is really well cooked, it tastes powdery and glutinous, and the entrance is full of fragrance.

was squinting her eyes and tasting it carefully, Yu'er suddenly shouted: "Mother, mother, mother, there are a lot of people outside." ”

I squinted my eyes and scanned the door, and sure enough, three servants were hurrying towards the house. Three, not much. Why is Yu'er making such a fuss?

My eyelids jumped, and a bad thought popped up.

I took a closer look at the people again, one was the maid next to my mother-in-law, named Mei Xiang, the other was Yingqiao, and the last one was Steward Wang, who had just come to me.

After they entered the door, they did not salute, and Steward Wang said directly: "Young lady, the old lady has abdominal pain after using lotus seed soup, and now she has fainted from the pain, please come with us." ”

I got up from my stool and said, "What's going on?" After a pause, he asked, "Have you found a doctor?" ”

Steward Wang nodded and said, "Please move the young lady." ”

I said "um", but I was a little at a loss, and turned my head to Yueying and said: "Yueying ......" but I didn't know what to say.

Yue Ying held my hand and said softly: "Don't panic Zhu Niang, Yue Ying will accompany Zhu Niang to go over." ”

I nodded in a daze, and when I saw Yu'er standing at the door, my heart suddenly calmed down, and I said to Yu'er: "Yu'er, you go back to Sister Fangyan first." ”

Her eyes were open, and she looked like she didn't know why. After a moment, he nodded and walked out the door.

I was a little worried, so I greeted her little back: "Remember to listen to Sister Fangyan." ”

She turned her head and begged, "Mother, will you come to Yu'er in a while?" Yu'er wants to eat with her mother at night. ”

"Hmm." I smiled and waved at her as I spoke.

Steward Wang stood aside, raised his hand to make an invitation, and said, "Young lady, please." ”
