Chapter 026: Jealousy and Pretending to Be Sick

Cheng Huan looked out in Ah Xiu's arms, and when he saw the gate from a distance, he raised his red little face and asked excitedly: "This is the palace, right?" I haven't even seen the door when I came to Yingtian! Ah Xiu smiled and touched her head: "This is our home, Cheng Huan, do you like it?" Cheng Huan's eyes blinked like two shining black grapes: "Hmm! Like! The car stopped, Su Xin opened the curtain, and Ah Xiu patted Chenghuan's shoulder dotingly: "Get out of the car!" Cheng Huan was hugged by Su Xin and ran to the gate, Ah Xiu got out of the car and shouted at her with a smile: "Cheng Huan! Slow down! Fall carefully! ”

The house slaves saw that Chenghuan got off the princess's car, and he was dressed very gorgeously, so they naturally took care of it carefully. Su Xin helped Ah Xiu get out of the car, and shouted to the door: "Sue sΓΉ inside, the princess and her wife are back!" This is Miss Chenghuan, you are waiting carefully. The people inside listened more carefully. Ying'er instructed the house slaves to bring things in, and then followed in. Ah Xiu saw Cheng Huan standing stunned in the courtyard, a few girls stood aside anxiously, walked over and squatted down to look at Cheng Huan, it turned out that she was crying: "Mother! Isn't this really a dream? Ah Xiu wiped her tears and kissed her cheek: "Do you feel that your mother kissed you?" Cheng Huan with tears: "Hmm! "Then don't cry and go in with your mother." Ah Xiu took Cheng Huan and instructed Ying'er, who followed up: "Go and pick two careful girls to come to my courtyard and give them to Cheng Huan." Ying'er went with a smile, and Su Xin asked Ah Xiu, "Which room does Chenghuan live in?" Ah Xiu thought about it: "Let's go to the east house, it's brighter over there, and you can see the sunset." Su Xin hurriedly took the order to take someone to clean up. Sun and Lian'er retired and went back to their rooms, and Ah Xiu led Cheng Huan inside.

"Mother, why are there so many beautiful sisters?" Cheng Huan shook Ah Xiu's hand. "Does Chenghuan like it?" "I like it!" "Good boy, no one will bully you in the future, you have a beautiful sister to play with you every day, and your mother only lets Chenghuan do one thing, okay?" Ah Xiu's face was full of maternal love and asked Chenghuan. "Mother said! A few pieces will do! Cheng Huan's excited little face flushed, and he swore with his head held high. Ah Xiu led her and continued to walk: "Mother, as long as Chenghuan smiles every day!" It would be better if I could read a few words, hehe. Cheng Huan touched his head: "What's so difficult about this?" Don't say that I laugh every day, Cheng Huan is so happy that he can't find the north, and I don't cry if he wants me to cry! As for reading and literacy, Cheng Huan has always wanted to learn, but no one taught me. ”

"Good! Now you can learn anything you want to learn, and my mother will find someone to teach you. Ah Xiu shook the little hand of Cheng Huan who was holding her, feeling her excited palms sweating. Xiaohong greeted her from the courtyard with a smile: "Princess, is this Miss Chenghuan?" Ah Xiu nodded; Well, what will be there in the future, Chenghuan will also have something. Is Su Xin cleaning up? Xiaohong followed Ah Xiu into the door: "The princess and the young lady go to the princess's room to rest, it will take a while here." The slave maid made tea inside. Ah Xiu nodded, took Cheng Huan into the room, and asked Xiaohong to bring some snacks for Cheng Huan to eat.

"Madam, the slave maid has been chosen, and there are two new girls who have entered the house. One is called Mei Xiang and the other is Ju Yun, who is slightly older than Miss Chenghuan by three or four years. One is mature and sophisticated, the other is careful and diligent, and now he is outside, can he take a look? Ying'er asked with a happy expression. Ah Xiu nodded with satisfaction and let them in, and asked Ying'er, "Who named the girls in the house now?" It's kind of interesting. "It's just me and Xiaohong playing for them. Madame, don't laugh at it. Ying'er blushed.

Two little girls came in and saluted the princess: "Girls: Mei Xiang and Ju Yun meet the princess and young lady." Ah Xiu let them get up, smiled and boasted, "Look! Now it looks much smarter! Turning his face to Xiaohong and Ying'er, he said, "The person who is difficult to pick for you really deserves this name!" How is it that the names of the two of you have not been changed? "Ying'er, I'm used to calling, but Xiaohong has changed." I'll change you to Yan'er, just chirping with Ying'er, add some excitement to me! After saying that, he laughed first. Yan'er smiled and saluted: "Yan'er thanks the princess for her name." ”

"You two girls, serve Miss Chenghuan well, don't bump into the cold or the heat, the rest will be secondary." Ah Xiu admonished. The two little girls nodded and took the order, standing next to Cheng Huan, one poured tea, and the other stroked Cheng Huan's back for fear that she would choke. Ah Xiu looked at Cheng Huan and was distracted, Su Xin came in and said that it was cleaned up, she remembered something, and said to Ying'er and Su Xin: "There is no girl in charge of affairs in the house now, right?" The two nodded. Su Xin is back now, in terms of age and qualifications, they are all top-notch, and tomorrow I will start to learn to be a housekeeper, and if I don't understand, come and ask me. Ying'er is also one of the best, in our courtyard, you can also learn to manage it, and help Su Xin in the future. The two thanked each other, said hello to each other, and were very affectionate. Ah Xiu quipped: "I don't know how much Ying'er looked down on my family Su Xin back then, what's wrong now?" Okay, like a person?! The two of them laughed even more. Ah Xiu saw that Chenghuan had already eaten two plates of dim sum, and was worried that she would be spoiled, so she asked Ying'er to take her to see the house and come back for dinner.

After a while, Ah Xiu asked Su Xin, "Are the children back?" Su Xin's face changed slightly: "Not yet." "Why didn't you come back so late?" Who followed? Ah Xiu frowned. only brought a few sons and two big girls, a few mothers-in-law, two cooks and a dozen house slaves. Su Xin replied cautiously. Didn't you say go to the Confucius Temple? What else do you bring? Did you find someone? Ah Xiu's face darkened, took a sip of tea, and asked Yan'er to change it to new tea.

Su Xin saw that Ah Xiu's face was not good, and waited for Yan'er to go out, and then replied carefully: "I sent someone back in the afternoon, saying that the weather was good, so I didn't go to Confucius Temple, and went to Bailuzhou by the river on the outskirts of the city." Ah Xiu slapped the table, and the steps on his head shook sharply: "How can this be true!" Now that you have gone, you have to say it directly, why do you want to lie? Shan'er is still young, why don't you take Shan'er with you? After a pause, he said in a low voice, "It's really intimate!" When Su Xin heard this, she knew that Ah Xiu was really angry, so she could only step forward and beat Ah Xiu's legs to dissipate her anger. Ah Xiu asked again: "What about the prince?" In the army? Su Xin paused, bowed his head and said nothing.

"You're my man, is there anything you don't dare to say? Say. Ah Xiu was suspicious, and his tone was even more displeased. Su Xin hurriedly knelt down: "It's not that the slave and maid concealed it, it was just now that I saw the people around the prince, so I asked about dinner, and I learned that the prince was originally going to come back before noon, but was called away by Mrs. Huilan." I didn't intend to ask too much, so I didn't say it. Slaves and maids should be damned! Please calm the princess's anger, and be careful about your body! After speaking, he lowered his head and didn't dare to get up, listening to Ah Xiu's hair falling.

"Get up, I don't want you to kneel to me. I often say that I prefer bitter truths to honey-mixed lies. It's just that you're afraid that I'll be angry, and I don't blame you, but I just want you to always be honest with me. No matter how bad it is, I don't want to be deaf. Ah Xiu shook her head to comfort her, but she was still angry, "I always thought that although there are many concubines in the mansion now, I went to the Zhao family that day, and now the rest is good, especially Lian'er and Huilan, who are even more with me." Now I look, but I'm stupid! A little more uneven, Ah Xiu said again: "You also saw Lian'er's appearance today, and Huilan is even angry with her now!" What about today, tomorrow?! After speaking, he instructed Su Xin: "Send someone to Bailuzhou to invite the prince back, saying that I am not well, and I have a bad headache!" ”

Su Xin obeyed the order, and Yan'er came in with tea not long after. Ah Xiu tasted it, frowned and put it down: "Suddenly I have a tight headache, take care of Chenghuan and the children at night, I'll go and rest first, invite Mr. Dai here, and let me have a look." After speaking, I didn't want Yan'er to help me, I walked inside, went to the hairpin ring jewelry, changed into an old bedrobe and lay down. Yan'er saw that Ah Xiu's speech and behavior were really bad, so she hurriedly went out. After a while, several big girls came back, and Ah Xiu just closed her eyes and didn't dare to ask. After another half an hour, Dai Si came to check the pulse, Su Xin knew it, left Yan'er in the house, and stood under the porch outside the door with Ying'er, looking forward to the return of the prince.

After less than a cup of tea, Zhu Yuanzhang rode back to the palace in a hurry, and rushed into Axiu's courtyard with an anxious face like a gust of wind, and saw the two big girls standing at the door with bad faces, and his heart was even more scared: "Su Xin!" What's wrong with Ah Xiu! Have you hired a doctor? "Back to the prince, the princess seems to have a wind disease, and it seems that the residual poison has not disappeared again. Mr. Dai is inside, don't worry, don't worry, let's talk about it when I ask Mr. Su Xin said comfortingly, and only then did he see Ah Xiu's face turn pale, worried that he was angry in his heart and took the old disease back, but he didn't dare to tell the truth.

Zhu Yuanzhang was even more lost when he heard this, a layer of sweat appeared on his head, and he rushed into the house in a panic, Dai Si just received the pulse diagnosis, Zhu Yuanzhang first asked him to invite him to drink tea outside, sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed Ah Xiu's hand, felt that the palm was cold, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong?" Haven't you been doing well lately? I heard that I also went shopping, why is it like this? Ah Xiu just pretended to be sick and wanted to torture him, so he pretended to have a headache and ignored him. Zhu Yuanzhang was even more anxious, and came out again to grab Dai Si and said, "I'll ask you!" Doesn't that say it's great? How is this happening again?! Dai Si hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, it's not caused by an old disease. "What's that for?" Zhu Yuanzhang did not relent. "Lord Wang, please sit down, let the villain explain to the prince. Madame's current illness is only due to the prince. Please forgive me before I dare to say it. ”

"Forgive your innocence! Let's take it personally! If there is deception, I will even dig up your master and convict him! Zhu Yuanzhang sat down angrily. The grass people don't dare, "Su Wen" has a saying: 'Judge its yin and yang, don't be soft and rigid, cure yin with yang disease, cure yang with yin, cure yang with yin, determine its blood and qi, and guard its hometown.'" The patriarch also said, 'Yang is always in excess, but yin is often insufficient.' Madame's current illness is not the old disease, but the instability of yin and yang, qi and blood, and the rise of internal fire. Dai Si explained respectfully, waited for Zhu Yuanzhang to ask, and said: "The prince forgives the sin, the lady's illness is caused by the prince, and it should also be solved by the prince." ”
