Chapter 100: Avoiding Suspicion
Knocking down the plague, Xiusun inevitably nervous.
She lived in the palace for more than ten years in her previous life, and went to Chang Parallel Palace twice to avoid acne.
The first time she was young, the second prince was gone.
The second time was five or six years ago, the eighth prince had smallpox, and the prince and princess in the palace took her, the county lord, the empress dowager, to leave the palace before sunset, and hurried all the way to the fourth night of the Chang Parallel Palace, the nine princes fell ill again, and they had to avoid it again and live in the nearby Fahua Temple.
And when they returned to the palace, the Eighth Prince was healed, but the Ninth Prince was gone.
After a long time, she vaguely heard that when the Nine Emperors were sick, they were wearing the clothes of the Eighth Prince, and it was unknown whether it was the truth or a rumor.
Taking advantage of the outbreak of the plague to fish in troubled waters, it is a common technique from ancient times to the present, because of the panic and chaos brought by the plague itself, it is not easy to leave evidence, the princes and princesses are all golden nobles, and it is still difficult to implement.
And the palace people who have changed the rank of a lower rank or the lady below the concubine position are one to make a move, because they are sick and they have to move out of the palace to fend for themselves.
Before and after, whether it was Musk or Aunt Qin, there was the shadow of Jiangpu's old mansion looming, she felt that she was careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, in case anything related to the plague was brought in, she had nowhere to cry.
The palace has established regulations for the treatment of these epidemics, and now there is no epidemic disease found in the Buddha Hand Lake Annex, and the preventive measures include preparing medicinal materials, cleaning and disinfection, isolating people and things from outsiders first, cleaning and disinfecting before contact.
Xiusun and Shen's mother went back to the Huanshi Mountain House, washed their hands with medicinal water, and changed their clothes before going to see the old lady.
The old lady was sitting on the Luohan bed with Linghui in her arms, and Xiuqian was lying on the book case, holding the rattle in her hand, "dong dong dong" kept shaking.
Linghui reached out to grab it, her little mouth pursed. made a sound of "coo-coo-coo-......coo", her eyebrows and eyes were full of excited smiles, maybe it was too hard, and her whole body was jolting. The old lady could barely hold it.
Seeing them come in, the old lady lowered her eyes and asked Mother Qu to hug Linghui down, and Xiuqian also followed, waiting for the room to be convenient to talk. "Settled?"
Xiusun was blessed and said, "Settle down, I heard that the fourth aunt ordered the servant women who came together to bathe in time, and they should not walk around in the rhino hall if they have nothing to do." ”
The old lady nodded slowly, "Sister Pei'er understands. ”
Walking in this world should give and help each other, be careful in your heart, and understand.
The old lady had heard the little girl's report before, saying that Xiuguan was in the rhino hall and asked Xiusun if they thought they were sick when they came out of the city. She sneered at the time, this granddaughter is really straightforward, and such an obvious truth is still brought out.
This should not have been at the door, but since they all came to the door, they naturally had to follow the arrangement of the Lord's family.
Even if it has been carefully inspected when leaving the city, isn't there still a problem of liability risk?
Why is the gentleman frank and open, but also pay attention to a "melon field is not acceptable, Li Xia is not the crown"?
It's just to avoid suspicion.
She thought about it, rolled her eyes, and said to Shen's mother. "When this matter is over, you pick someone and marry that frangipani."
Shen's mother seemed to know that the old lady would say this, so she bowed down and said yes.
When Aunt Qin first entered the door. The old lady saw that Xiuguan couldn't get out of it, so she felt uncomfortable at that time, punished her at that time, and warned that if there was a next time, she would marry her to the countryside.
A few years ago, Xiuguan and her biological mother Aunt Zhao partnered in a big drama that should be combined with the outside. At that time, Xiusun also made a small report, but the old lady didn't respond, and she didn't want to pull the iris out to match someone after the New Year.
Xiuguan Bacheng saw that the old lady did not move, so she felt that the old lady was just talking, after all, Aunt Qin is still alive and well now, there is no need to embarrass her.
She didn't know that the old lady was a man of words, although she was only eleven years old, marrying her off like this would be tantamount to suing the people that she had made a mistake, and the Chu family could not afford to lose this person, but her maid could always get married.
If marrying a calamus is just a warning, the old lady now lacks interest in watching the after-effects, and since it is useless to deter, then control her to death, even if her stomach is bad, there is nowhere to flow.
"Also, your mother, just say what I said, she is about to give birth, and her body is not convenient, just rest and recuperate, don't come out." This is to use the identity of mother-in-law to help Ruan's decide that he can not see Chu Pei.
Xiusun saw that there was nothing to do, so she moved the small pestle and sat next to the old lady.
The old lady looked at her, "Why don't you go and see your mother?" ”
Xiusun smiled and said, "Isn't this a quick meal, when I finish lunch, I'll take a nap and take a shower before I go." ”
The old lady knew that Xiusun was cautious, nodded knowingly, and touched her little face.
Suddenly, Chu Pei and Xiuguan walked into the Huanshi Mountain House, Xiusun greeted them under the porch, and looked behind them without a trace, only followed by two maids, lychee and frangipani.
Xiusun nodded secretly, then smiled more enthusiastically, and stepped forward to give Chu Peifu a blessing, "My niece ordered the kitchen this morning and prepared osmanthus duck for the fourth aunt." ”
Chu Pei's taste follows the seven old ladies, the seven old ladies are Jinling people, and their favorite is the ordinary osmanthus duck in Jinling.
Chu Pei smiled and took Xiusun with one hand and Xiuguan with the other, and entered the house to greet the old lady.
The old lady ordered Linghui, Xiuqian, and Xiuzhi to be called, and it was almost time to set the meal.
When Linghui came, continue to teach Linghui to speak, "Drum-"
"Goo-goo-goo!" Linghui puffed up her cheeks, spit out a series of syllables harder, and jumped up excitedly by kicking the old lady's thighs, Xiusun was startled, and quickly held her little buttocks and placed her on the inside of the Luohan bed.
"Drums—plucks, waves, drums—" The old lady smiled from ear to ear, and reached out to pat her round little buttocks.
Xiuqian also got down from the Luohan bed and saluted Chu Pei and Xiuguan, and Xiuzhi came in again and also stepped forward to salute.
After lunch, everyone sat down to taste tea in order of generation, and the old lady asked about the situation of the seven old ladies.
Chu Pei answered one by one, and said something about the situation that the second old lady had learned before they left the city to organize relief for the victims, and the old lady praised a few words.
A few younger sisters accompanied Linghui to play rattles, and the drum sound of "dong dong dong" seemed to hit the human brain, which was a little noisy.
Xiusun took the rattle and looked at it twice, the red lacquered drum body, the white sheepskin drum surface of the fish belly was painted with a small doll holding a huge red carp, the rivets were sturdy, and the glow was brass-colored. The drum ears of the sour jujube beard were tied with red silk, she pulled the thick red thread, it felt quite strong, a little relieved, and handed it back to Xiuqian's hand, "Be careful, don't let her eat indiscriminately." "Children love to catch something and stuff it in their mouths.
Xiuqian smiled, "Seventh sister, don't worry, I've been watching it." ”
After lunch, Xiuguan got up and said, "I haven't gone to greet my mother when I come back, so my granddaughter will go over and have a look." (To be continued.) )
