Chapter Eighty-Five: The Mad Woman

The impression of Xinlan Yuan, now there is no longer the exaggerated ornaments of Jia's time, it is much more elegant, but it has a bit of a taste of defeat, she lowered her eyes, and there is no ** to look around.

The vase looked at the girl who followed behind him with drooping eyes, and Mu Ne was honest like a wooden girl.

"Xing'er, from today on, you will be on an errand in Xinlan Garden, and remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, if you don't understand, you can ask plain language, but don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, remember?"

Nodding, Xing'er is the pseudonym of Luo Qi after the disguise, and now she is the maid of the Zhao Mansion.

She raised her eyes and saw that in the small courtyard of the upper room of Xinlan Garden, Su Yu was holding a small fan, fanning the medicine stove with a smile, and there was only the sound of the fire licking the boiling water of the clay pot boiling medicine and the coughing sound in the house one after another.

Outsiders only know that Cao Liniang is the housewife of Mrs. Zhao who carried the sedan chair back, she looked at the depression in the yard, and knew that the situation was not as beautiful as it was said outside, not to mention that the mother said that the mother was going to choose a girl for the paralyzed Mrs. Zhao, how did she get to the house, but it was the paralyzed Mrs. Zhao who chose someone and sent it into the yard of the housemother?

The slight footsteps made Su Yu look at the gate of the courtyard vigilantly, and when he saw that it was a treasure bottle, the fan in his hand couldn't help but tremble, and he immediately stood up in a hurry, "What do you have the old lady's orders?" ”

"This is Xing'er, born mute, after her father and mother died of illness, she was sold to Renyazi by her uncle, and the old lady personally picked it to take care of her mother with you," the treasure bottle shook her head and pointed to the girl who followed behind her, this kung fu, Su Yu had already looked her up and down several times, and when she saw that the treasure bottle was leaving, she hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to follow her, "My medicine...... I ......"

"As long as you work hard, I will naturally give it to you on time."

Waiting for the treasure bottle to leave, Su Yu's eyes were as if they had been quenched with poison, but what could they do? She returned to the gate of the courtyard and saw the newly sent girl who was still standing quietly in place, Xing'er? With a hint of mockery on his face, he didn't bother to look at it again, and as he passed by, he dropped a fan and went straight back to the house.

The tip of her nose keenly smelled the strong medicinal gas on Su Yu's body mixed with a trace of wine, she raised her eyes and glanced at Su Yu's back, then picked up the fan, sat in front of the stove honestly and fanned gently, the smell of medicine in the crockpot was very familiar to her, it was a cure for tuberculosis.

Cao Liniang has tuberculosis?

She thought of Jia's family, could it be that God was holding grievances for the old people, so the newcomers suffered the same sin, Jia's tuberculosis was not because Zhao Guanglian was sad when he married Cao Liniang.

When she thought of this section, her hand holding the fan tightened, and her eyeliner seemed to say, this Cao Liniang was good when she was picked up from her mother's house, and she put on a full show, that is, this tuberculosis only fell when she came back? It seems that the Jia family also started from being locked up by the Zhao family in the firewood room overnight......

Su Yu quietly observed through the window for a while, but that Xing'er was an honest head, Cao Liniang on the couch began to talk nonsense in a daze at this time, shouting for wine to drink, she subconsciously leaned forward to the couch, but as if she remembered something, she took three steps back, took out a towel with a strong medicinal smell from her waist, covered her mouth and nose, and then poured a glass of wine and slowly approached the couch.

After hesitating for a long time, she got into the closed bed curtain, and after a whimpering struggle, Cao Liniang coughed violently again, and Su Yu almost rolled out of the empty cup with a wolf, and was very far away from the couch before standing still, looking at the wine stains on the back of her hand, and wiped her hand on her clothes several times before stopping.

When I went out, I saw that Na Xing'er was still burning the fire honestly, and he squinted at her angrily, "How old is this year?" ”

Sixteen.

By the way, she was mute, she didn't know sign language, she guessed that she was sixteen years old, "Do you know what you're going to do?" ”

Xing'er nodded, and gestured to a posture of serving tea and pouring water to clean, Su Yu looked at her, obviously didn't know the situation of this Xinlan Garden, looked at the closed door, and then fell on Xing'er after a circle, "Have you seen that the medicine is decoctioned?" ”

Xing'er honestly picked up the thick cloth on the side, pinched the lid and glanced at it, and nodded.

Su Yu nodded secretly, thought about it, and asked her to pour out the medicine and put it in a room, and took her to a room next to her, and took two purses, two cloth towels full of medicinal smell and a large bag of herbs to her, "In the future, the work of serving the lady to take medicine and drink water will be handed over to you, take the purse with you, remember to cover your mouth and nose with a handkerchief when you enter the house, and wash your hands first when you come out...... If you think ...... I can only blame myself for my bad life. ”

When she was about to enter the house with the medicine bowl, Su Yu added lightly, "If the lady wants a drink, you can pour it for her from the red porcelain bottle on the table, and don't make a noise for a while, otherwise it will ......" She remembered halfway through speaking, how could Xing'er call, a mute, "Come in." ”

Xing'er hid the surprise in her eyes, nodded, took her purse and face towel, and walked in with a medicine bowl.

Still drinking when you're sick? Are the people of the Zhao family not afraid of committing the taboo of medicine, or did they not want Cao Liniang to get better from the beginning?

All the windows in the room are covered with curtains, obviously it is daytime, and when I enter the door, I am in a trance at this moment, it is night, a red candle is flickering, and the room is full of peculiar smells, she is holding the medicine and slowly approaching the closed tight bed curtain, Cao Liniang on the couch seems to be asleep, making a loud snoring sound.

Gently lifted a corner of the curtain, the medicine bowl in Luo Qi's hand was almost unstable, the woman on the bed was disheveled, her rough and dirty face was black one by one, her sunken cheeks and wide open mouth were indescribably weird, and Cao Liniang, who was thin and only had a handful of bones, was lying in a large shape, her limbs were tied with soft cotton ropes, and she was tied to the four pillars on the couch.

As if because the bed curtain was lifted and the wind came in, she coughed for a while, what kind of situation was that, Cao Liniang looked at the top of the bed with blank eyes, coughing heart-rending squirming, the whole person was twisted and twitching, and the bright red blood was lying down the corners of her mouth, it turned out that those black marks were coagulated blood lines, she hurriedly stepped forward and held Cao Liniang's head to the side, lest she be choked to death by the blood she coughed up!

When she finally finished coughing, Luo Qi fed her the medicine little by little, but she still coughed up most of it one by one.

"It's not me, die, damn them, don't come to me......"

Cao Liniang whispered, Luo Qi only realized at this moment that her mental state was wrong and she was crazy...... (To be continued.) )
