Chapter 13: Whispering
Seeing that Linglong refused to go, Song Xiuzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Fifth Miss has just come back, it's not too late to go back after a while." ”
Nie's bright eyes stared at Linglong tightly, and said with a smile: "It's rare that the five girls have this filial piety, so let's go back after a while." ”
Linglong thanked Nie for saluting, and suddenly said: "Linglong wants to trouble the eldest aunt with something, I don't know"
Speaking of this, she seemed to glance at Song Xiuzhu intentionally or unintentionally, and then stopped talking.
What a shrewd person Nie is, he sneered and said to Song Xiuzhu: "If Aunt Song is not strange, I, who is an aunt, want to say a few words to my niece alone." ”
Song Xiuzhu's face turned pale, a little unnatural, but she quickly regained her smile and said, "Those peonies outside are blooming just right, so let's accompany the fourth lady out to have a look." ”
Linglong lowered her head and was silent, she saw Song Xiuzhu's hand holding the handkerchief clenched tightly, as if she was about to crush the handkerchief in her hand.
When Linglong raised her head, there were only Nie and her in the flower hall, and even a few maids brought by Xingyu and Nie also retreated outside the hall.
"You stupid child, let you go to Dongfu with your aunt to live for a few days, you don't want to, you want to whisper like this, your mother is suspicious when she wants to come."
Linglong smiled, she just wanted to make Song Xiuzhu suspicious, people who don't have ghosts in their hearts are not afraid, but if there are ghosts in their hearts, then I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep tonight. If people are suspicious all day long, then they will inevitably do something to add to the problem and make up for the dead.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, Linglong just wants to ask her aunt to help find a doctor, this doctor may not be able to cure all diseases, but he must be familiar with pharmacology. I wonder if my aunt has such a candidate? ”
With the relationship of the Jin family in the capital, it is not difficult to find such a doctor, Nie's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Linglong's eyes: "Five girls, what do you want to investigate?" ”
Linglong shook her head: "Linglong can't say clearly, but Linglong still remembers that when she was in the old mansion, only the eldest aunt brought a box of snacks to Linglong, and the snacks were so delicious, Linglong still remembers the taste." ”
Nie Shi looked at Linglong for a long time, and then said: "This matter is wrapped up in the eldest aunt, if your father blames you, you let him just look for me, I want to see, he Jin Laosan really dares to blatantly spoil his concubine." ”
When he returned to Rongyuan, Feng made a fuss again, and this fuss lasted for more than an hour, and it took Linglong a lot of effort to coax her mother to sleep. The food was delivered from the kitchen, and it was already cold, and she had no appetite, so she sat alone under the porch, watching the sunset in the sky.
At this time, it was already evening, and the sun was setting, dyeing the sky red. Under the wall of Rong Garden, there are a few lilacs, which have been planted for some years, and the green leaves are mixed with small flowers, and the light fragrance is slowly sent with the evening breeze.
The back of Linglong's hand was scratched by Feng Shi a few times, but he didn't feel it, and then he felt a faint pain.
Linglong looked at her hand, the old wounds on it had not gone away, and new injuries had been added, all of which were caught by her mother. But her heart is much more relaxed, it has been three days since her mother last fell ill, three days! You must know that in the past, my mother had seizures almost every day.
Taking a deep breath, Linglong was about to stand up when she heard a knock on the door outside.
Xingyu went out to answer the door, but there was no movement for a while, Linglong frowned, got up and walked out of the vase door to the gate.
But I saw that the door was open, and the one standing at the door was actually my father Jin Min!
"Father, you're here." Linglong bent down to give her father a blessing, and she looked behind Jin Min with the rest of her eyes, only to find that he had come alone, without any entourage.
"Is your mother better?" Jin Min asked, but he was still standing outside the threshold, not intending to step in.
No wonder Xingyu doesn't know what to do, the third master of Jin San condescended to visit his wife, and only stood outside the threshold, just like there was something dirty in this garden, once it was touched, it could never be shaken off.
"It's not good." Linglong replied lightly, feeling funny in her heart, a person who has been sick for eight years, locked in the house without seeing the doctor without medicine, even asked if it is better, isn't this nonsense?
Jin Min was pushed back by Linglong's words, a little embarrassed, the father and daughter were silent for a while, and then Jin Min asked: "You come back for some days, if you are not used to living, you can tell your mother-in-law, there is no need to say to outsiders, our Xifu affairs, and it is not the turn of others to take care of it." ”
Linglong understood in seconds, Song Xiuzhu gave her a small report.
"My daughter doesn't know who is chewing her tongue behind her back and stirring up trouble. The daughter just asked her aunt to ask a doctor to treat her mother, and the daughter grew up beside her grandmother since she was a child, and she knew that her aunt was not an outsider, but her own family. So except for the eldest aunt, the daughter did not tell anyone about it. ”
Linglong's words made Jin Min speechless, no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't say that the Nie family was not his own family. His face was displeased, and he said in a deep voice: "Then there is no need to ask the long house to invite a doctor, can't we invite Xifu to come?" ”
Linglong smiled: "If we can invite it, why hasn't Linglong seen a doctor, nor has she seen her mother take medicine?" ”
Jin Min didn't expect Linglong to dare to ask him, and immediately said angrily: "You don't know about your mother's affairs, if it weren't for her father's pity and madness, she would have been sent to the government for disposal, and a vicious woman like her can still let her live here, which is already merciful." Besides, her illness is crazy, and her six relatives don't recognize it, how can any doctor dare to approach, you haven't been at home all these years, you don't know anything, don't listen to other people's nonsense. ”
Linglong still lowered her eyebrows, and when Jin Min finished speaking, she said slowly: "The daughter just wants to ask a doctor to show her mother, but she didn't want to make her father angry, so the father told the aunt and said that the doctor didn't need to be invited." ”
The corners of Jin Min's eyes twitched a few times, the Nie family, how could it be dismissed with a sentence or two, let her ask for a doctor, and now she says not to invite, she will definitely think that she did it on purpose, she is an imperial businessman, and a woman, she will enter the palace every three or five times, and get very close to those people in the Internal Affairs Office.
"Well, since your aunt has promised to help you invite, let the doctor take a look. It's just that you and the Xu family have a marriage contract first, and the doctor is a foreign man after all, so you have to avoid it when he comes, so as not to spread it to the ears of the Xu family. ”
Linglong said softly: "The daughter thanked her father on behalf of her mother, and the daughter who was told by her father has written it down. ”
Jin Min saw her speak softly, and half of the anger in her heart disappeared, so she said, "You can remember the best." ”
Linglong watched her father's figure disappear into the twilight, and she let out a long breath. Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and I don't know what tricks Jin Yuan has waiting for her, Linglong pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a naughty smile.
