Chapter 41: A Lonely Village Full of Wisdom [6]
The four girls entered the table, and Zhu Yan quietly turned her eyes to look at the people at the table.
Xu Silk Zhen sat in a very inconspicuous corner, but Zhu Yan could feel that since she stepped into this hall, Xu Silk Zhen's eyes fell on her steadily, with a little love and a little expectation.
"This ...... Whose girl is it? Following the rather surprised voice, Zhu Yan looked over with a smile, and asked a woman in her forties, dressed in autumn-colored brocade satin, well-cut, with slightly thinning hair neatly pulled up, and the Huasheng and hairpins on it were arranged just right. And that pair of eyebrows, which is also not too thick, is also applied to the degree of compounding, and if you look closely, it seems to be somewhat similar to Zhou Ruxin.
"Mrs. Zhou, this is our niece's daughter, Ah Yan." It was Lin who answered, and there was still a vacant seat next to her, presumably where Yang was seated.
Mrs. Zhou, Han raised her head again and looked at Zhu Yan carefully.
Zhu Yan was used to seeing it like this all the way, so he simply smiled and stood generously, looking at the ladies and ladies at any table.
"Mother!" Zhou Ruxin jumped over and walked over, like a homecoming bird, completely ignoring Zhu Yan's instructions just now, "......Shall we marry Sister Zhu Yan into the family?" ”
“…… If you are in the heart, don't make trouble. How can these things be said here? Mrs. Zhou was slightly stunned, then looked at Zhu Yan with a gentle smile, and then turned her head to look at Xu Suzhen, "Miss Zhu is amiable to see, it is indeed lovely, I think Ruxin likes her very much, if she is free, Sister-in-law Xu will let her come to our Zhou family as a guest, right?" The old lady was rescued by the girl before, and she really wanted to see such a painful little girl. ”
Xu Suzhen's face was not happy, but she smiled a little perfunctorily, "It's okay." ”
The Yang family happened to come back with their two daughters, and when they heard that Mrs. Zhou invited Zhu Yan to be a guest at home, their already gloomy face sank a little more.
The ladies and ladies around them also have different expressions, but they can't do without jealousy after all. The Zhou family is a local native of the rich and noble family, which is different from the old ministers of the previous dynasty, they do not have any scruples when they come out, and they have many friends to contact. Who doesn't want to marry into the Zhou family and live without worries?
Zhu Yan frowned, sat down, lowered his head and sipped tea to himself, not to make contact with those eyes. But when she occasionally raised her eyes, she saw Xu Suzhen looking at her with a loving face, and then she realized that there were maids serving around her young ladies and ladies, but she and Xu Suzhen were alone, and they didn't look desolate.
After thinking about it again, I suddenly remembered that Lin had borrowed Bai Apple to himself just now, and when I looked around the house, Bai Apple didn't seem to be there......? Didn't she show the way for the Yang family just now, why didn't she come back?
“…… Take her back to her room to rest. Lin's voice suddenly came, Zhu Yan subconsciously raised her head, and saw a little maid whispering something in her ear.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Xu Yuqing's mouth is fast, so as not to ask Zhu Yan.
Lin Shi smiled comfortingly at the ladies and ladies around her, "It's not a big deal, the maid Bai Ping just fell ill and fainted, and I have ordered someone to send her back to rest." ”
The ladies around nodded their heads one after another, praising the Lin clan for being so considerate to their subordinates, and they were really compassionate.
Zhu Yan was silent, according to her just now, she didn't think Bai Ping looked like she had a chronic illness......
After a while, before the hot food was served, the maid just now hurriedly ran in again, her face was full of tears, her little face was red and white, and even her lips were trembling.
"What's the matter?!" Lin's thin eyebrows frowned, this Dragon Boat Festival is a good day, what kind of system is it to cry like this in front of the guests? !
"Madame......! Sister Bai Apple is dying! The little maid was obviously frightened, and collapsed on the ground, crying and begging, "Madame, please ask someone to see her......
Zhu Yan and Xu Qingqing both stood up suddenly, and they didn't even notice that the wooden chopsticks on the table had landed.
"Bai Apple was talking to us just now, what's 'no good'?! Today is a good day for the Dragon Boat Festival, how can there be such a red-mouthed curse to death?! Xu Yuqing looked like a delicate young lady, but when she reprimanded people, she was definitely first-class.
Zhu Yan calmed down, first looked at Xu Suzhen, and saw that she didn't seem to have any objections, so he turned to the Lin family, "Zhu Yanmeng Bai Apple girl takes care of this moment, and she knows a little about medicine, please let me take a look and do my best." ”
"It's fine." Lin is not embarrassed, I think that if Bai Apple is fine, the doctor will make people laugh, and if Bai Apple is really bad, it is too late to ask for a doctor at this time, so it is better to let Zhu Yan take a look.
"Cousin, pay attention to your body, don't be frightened." After Zhu Yan whispered an order to Xu Yuqing, he immediately pulled up the little maid and ran out of the hall directly.
The lady and lady who left a room looked at each other, and it was not until Xu Yuqing mentioned that she wanted to go to see Bai Apple that she came back to her senses.
The servants' house is quite a distance away from the hall, but fortunately, Zhu Yan has deliberately exercised in the past few months because he feels that the original body is too weak, and he has even reached a tie with the little maid who often works.
Before entering the house, he heard a violent cough, and after the cough, it was extremely rapid breathing, and a person who did not know medical skills heard it, but he was afraid that he really thought that the people in the house would die soon.
But according to Zhu Yan's estimate, although this disease is fierce, it should be fine for a while. I calmed down a little, and then I pushed the door open.
Bai Apple's face was pale, and there was a little flush from coughing. The whole person was leaning on a pillow, the placket was slightly open, a pair of eyes were half-open and half-closed, and I didn't know if I could see the person in front of me clearly.
"White Apple!" Zhu Yan stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, and called again, "White Apple girl, can you hear my voice?!" ”
"I ...... Can you hear ...... I can't see clearly......" The slightly hoarse voice was mixed with a rapid panting, and the wings of the nose kept fanning, "It's so stuffy...... Breathless......"
Zhu Yan shook her head lightly, and stretched out her hand to check her pulse, but she struggled with all her strength because of breathlessness, and couldn't hold her hand.
“…… Well, that's a bit sinister! "Several ladies have already arrived, and most of the ladies are timid, only Xu Yuqing and Shu have arrived.
"Swallow." Xu Silk Zhen walked in slowly, glanced at Zhu Yan, and lowered her voice, "This is not an illness. ”
Not the onset of the disease...... Zhu Yan's eyebrows jumped, and when she looked closely at Bai Apple's symptoms, it seemed to be coughing, difficulty breathing, accompanied by inability to see clearly, and she seemed to have been vomiting......
Could it be...... Poisoning?!
"Mother......?!"
Xu Suzhen narrowed her eyes slightly, shook her head imperceptibly, and motioned to Zhu Yan not to worry about it.
Zhu Yan was half-squatting on the edge of the couch, stood up suddenly, walked straight to Xu Yuqing and Lin Shi, pulled off the butterfly hairpin on his head, and a green silk flowed down like water, "Please take this thing and go to the place where your sons have a banquet, be sure to invite Yuan Gongzi to come." ”
