Chapter 81: Jealousy
After the old lady woke up in the afternoon, everyone left the temple and returned home.
As soon as the third lady An entered the door with the maids Siluo and Biqin, she felt that something was wrong.
The three-room Yiranju is a three-entry courtyard. The main house is naturally lived by An and Qin Zhicheng, and Jinren and Jinyi live in the two wings on the east side. Qin Pian lives in the west.
Leaning on the lake in the garden, there is a three-room study, where Qin Zhicheng lives every day.
In the back of the main house, Aunt Ruan and Aunt Miao lived. Aunt Miao is Qin Lian's biological mother.
When I went to incense today, I was going to take my two aunts with me. When she was about to go out, Aunt Ruan said that she was not feeling well, so she did not go with her.
An's heart was not at ease for a day, because the third master Qin Zhicheng was also at home today.
In the past two days, he found a few ancient ivory fans, which are said to have been brought by merchants from the Western Regions from the faraway country of body poison, and they are printed with ancient Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, I have been staying in the study for the past few days to study.
Leaving Aunt Ruan and the two of them at home, An Shi was restless all day, anxious and only thinking about coming back early.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the study by the lake, he heard Qin Zhicheng's voice inside through the window, "...... She hasn't been able to give birth to an egg for more than ten years, but you still use it, and she gave birth to two in one fell swoop. ”
Qin Zhicheng's laughter was a little pleasant, and then he heard Aunt Ruan's sweet and greasy voice, "Master, I still want to give you another ......."
The rest of the sound was a bit unbearable.
Aunt Miao's face behind An's was pale. Siluo and Biqin did not carry the room, and when they heard this, their faces turned red and they peeked at Madame.
An Shi was trembling with anger, she really didn't expect the third master to say this about herself behind her back.
In the past ten years, An's because she can't have children, I don't know how many secret recipes and home remedies she has sought, rare and strange things have not been eaten, she has drunk the soup fried by the rat's tail, and she has also ......drunk the incense ash tea on the Guanyin incense case in the temple, and she has not been able to give birth to a son, but Aunt Ruan gave birth to twins less than two years after entering the door.
The two aunts have always been well-behaved in front of her, Aunt Miao needless to say, she has always been submissive, even with Qin Lian, who was born to her, she also greets her every morning and evening, and she is extremely obedient in front of her mother-in-law.
Aunt Ruan was originally a thorn in An's heart, but she has always been sweet-mouthed, diligent in her hands and feet, and she doesn't stretch out her hands to hit smiling people, so although An's looks at her very closely, Aunt Ruan has never really clashed with her, and An's face and identity are still maintained well in front of the two aunts.
But Qin Sanye's sentence "can't give birth to eggs" swept away the face she worked so hard to maintain.
She stood outside the window and smiled coldly, "I went to incense with my mother today, and I also prayed for the Buddha's blessing to let my lord have a son-in-law." …… You two are in a hurry, this will be in broad daylight, and you don't know how to avoid suspicion, phew. …… The master might as well divorce me and straighten her up, but I won't be able to give you a son-in-law. ”
Aunt Ruan in the house exclaimed "oops", followed by the sound of busy dressing.
Qin Zhicheng was teased by her today, and he didn't care about the sun hanging outside. At this time, she was caught by An's family, and she also felt a little ashamed, thinking that what she had just ridiculed her must have been heard by her, and she was also a little busy for a while.
After An Shi finished saying that, he turned around and went to Fuxi Hall to find the old lady to cry.
Qin Zhicheng heard that she was gone, and when she went out, she bumped into Aunt Miao's face flushed, and she didn't follow her wife, standing in place and embarrassed.
Seeing the old man come out, Aunt Miao, who had always been docile, simply didn't say a word, turned around and went back to her own room in the back.
Aunt Ruan was shocked and ashamed, tugging at the corner of Qin Zhicheng's sleeve and crying: "How is this good? Madame must have complained to the old lady......"
Qin Zhicheng was originally a lazy and hard-working, casual and comfortable, and he had no idea for a while, he was not a responsible person, thinking that if his mother heard him say that he would kill his wife with this favorite concubine, he might be angry, and he was also afraid, so he simply walked out.
At first, Aunt Ruan thought that he was going to Fuxi Hall to intercede for herself, so she hurriedly followed, but who knew that he was walking faster and faster, and turned right when he left Yiranju, and went straight to the direction of the West Corner Gate.
I couldn't help but curse hatefully: "Something without conscience!" ”
Jin Yi came back from Puji Temple, and it happened that Mama Yu of Yishantang sent a small servant to find Qianmo and told her about the princess's condition.
Qian Mo came back, holding a paper bag in his hand, and reported to Jin Yiyu, "My mother found Caiyun, she is good at talking, and secretly copied out the medical cases and prescriptions of the princess in the past few years." ”
As he spoke, he handed the thing to Jinyi. The thin stack in the paper bag is a hand-copied medical case.
Qian Mo's face was a little worried, and he whispered: "I heard that early yesterday morning, the prince went out of the city, saying that he was traveling far away. ”
Jin Yi's expression was calm, and he asked as if he had no intention, "Do you know where you are going?" ”
Qian Mo shook his head, "I don't know, Mingxin and wine didn't follow." ”
Jin Yi snorted and stopped talking.
Looking closely at the medical case, it is a symptom of angina, and the earliest time above is actually ** years ago. At first, the seizures were more severe, but they gradually improved in the past few years, but there is still no cure.
I looked at the prescription again, but the prescription was moderate and mild, from which it can be seen that the princess's physique is liver deficiency and spleen cold, and most of the medicine in it is also a warm supplement for the symptoms.
Perhaps it is due to the long-term illness of too much medication, the residual medicinal properties in the body are stagnant, although the onset of angina is milder than in the past, but the body is getting weaker and weaker.
Jin Yi lowered his head and pondered, and from time to time he went to the shelf to find medical books and read them, thinking of ways to heal.
At this time, Wen Yan hurriedly ran in, "Miss, Miss...... Oh no. ”
Jin Yi was startled and looked up at her.
Hearing this, she took a breath, and then said: "The third lady cried in the old lady's room, and she was clamoring for the third master to divorce her." The old lady is so angry that she coughs and commits a crime, so go and take a look. ”
Jin Yi hurriedly got up and walked out, calling Qiao Wei, "Take my medicine box." On the other hand, he asked Tingyan, "Why is the third lady making trouble?" ”
Listen to the words and tell everything. Then he lowered his head and whispered: "Aunt Ruan's little girl Mingxiang was originally giving her wind in the garden in front of her, saying that if the ladies returned home, they would quickly run back to report the news, but the result was ......" She squeaked, and saw that Jinyi was staring at her, and hurriedly continued:
"Sister Caijing gave me a box of golden silk dates today...... I saw Mingxiang in the garden and asked her to come with me to eat dates under the bridge over there,...... When you came back, she didn't see ......."
She was a little nervous and quietly looked at Jinyi.
Jin Yi was in a hurry to rush to Fuxi Hall, and she didn't care about her, and she couldn't blame her for it, she just hit her crookedly, but she still poked her head lightly with her finger.
Hearing this, the young lady was not annoyed with her, and quietly stuck out her tongue.
Jin Yi walked and asked again: "Why did Cai Jing give you so many dates?" ”
Hearing this, she opened her mouth, swallowed the words back, and only said, "Maybe she doesn't like to eat dates." ”
Jin Yi ignored her anymore and entered Fuxi Hall with Qiao Wei.
