Chapter 18: Capriciousness
Despite his best efforts to maintain his composure, Meng's face still revealed a bit of anxiety and worry.
It's just that she didn't go to visit An Ruolan immediately, but sat down by the kang again.
casually took a book of poems and opened it, she said casually: "No wonder the east wing is very lively early in the morning, it turns out that Lan'er is sick, but please ask the doctor to come and see?" ”
Huang Ying bowed her head and responded, a little unsure of Meng's attitude.
"What did the doctor say?" Meng asked again, his gaze falling on the page.
The lowered eyes flickered, and Huang Ying pressed the accelerated heartbeat, and replied thoughtfully: "The doctor said that there is a fever, and it is infected with wind and cold. ”
Hearing this, Meng Shi frowned, shook his head and sighed: "It must have been that he kicked the quilt again at night, and that kid just didn't know how to cherish himself." Then he asked, "How is the young lady doing now?" With that, he put down the book and made a gesture to get up.
The corners of Huang Ying's lips bent and flattened, and she said respectfully: "I just woke up for a while, and I was hugged by Mother Liu, and I will fall asleep again." Mama Qin and Mama Zhang asked the slave maid to inform Madame and ask Madame to come over. ”
Meng Shi stiffened his movements, sat down again, picked up the book and flipped through it, and said indifferently: "Since I slept, I won't go, and I guess it's not too strict." ”
"Madam......" Huang Ying raised her eyebrows in embarrassment, and stopped talking.
Meng Shi only waved his hand and said, "You can go back." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Huang Ying was blessed and bowed his head.
Xia He came back from the front, and happened to bump into Huang Ying, who had just gone out, and saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and couldn't help but quip: "Sister Huang Ying, look at your happy appearance, but something good happened?" ”
But he didn't want Huang Ying to look panicked, and lowered his head and said: "Sister Xia He said that she was laughing, how can my sister have anything good." ”
Without waiting for Xia He to answer, he said urgently: "Miss is still waiting for my sister to serve in the house, and my sister will leave first." ”
I left in a hurry.
Xia He only felt inexplicable.
After entering the house, Xia He first went to the charcoal stove to warm his hands, and then went to the east room, and saw Meng Shi absentmindedly leaning on the kang to read, so he asked with a smile: "Madam, what's wrong?" ”
Mama Li next to her hurriedly squeezed her eyes, Xia He was puzzled, so she heard Meng Shi say quietly: "Huang Ying said that Lan'er is sick." ”
Xia He's heart jumped suddenly, since Miss Six was sick, why did Huang Ying still smile so happily?
Seeing that Meng Shi was sitting motionless, and had no intention of visiting Miss Sixth at all, she had a gut feeling that it was inappropriate and asked, "Huang Ying is here to ask Madame to come over to visit Miss Six?" ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, he smiled and said: "Also, Miss Six relies on Mrs. the most, when did you get sick in the past and didn't want Mrs. to accompany her?" As soon as the lady left, Miss Six's illness was mostly saved. ”
She wanted to adjust the atmosphere, but she didn't want to have the opposite effect.
Meng Shiliu frowned slightly, shook his head and sighed, and said that I was pitiful. She put the book on the kang table, with a look of hatred and bitterness, and said with a grudge: "It was Mama Qin and Mama Zhang who asked Huang Ying to come over." ”
Xia He was stunned, and he didn't know what to say.
The meaning of Madame's words, because it wasn't Miss Six who asked Huang Ying to invite, it was she who sat still?
After a pause, she said: "Miss Sixth is very sick, and she was negligent for a while, so she let the two grandmothers Qin and Zhang pass the word on her behalf, and Miss Six must be looking forward to Mrs. Passing over." ”
Meng Shi was still worried, shook his head and said, "There are Bi Wan to take care of it on the left and right, I am very relieved, so I will go." ”
"Madam......" Xia He wanted to persuade again, but Meng Shi raised his hand to interrupt her, and said in a lamented voice: "Anyway, Lan'er can't see my kindness to her, thinking that my kindness to her is harming her, so why should I bother to be bored?" You don't need to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Seeing this, Xia He dared to persuade again, so he had to sigh: "Then the slave maid Dai Lady went over to take a look?" ”
Meng Shi hesitated for a moment, shook his head lightly, and said: "You also know Lan'er's temperament, looking cold, but there are a lot of hearts, her illness came suddenly, I don't know if it's true or not, let's take a look at the situation first." It's Xian'er's side, she has just arrived, and she has no one to rely on in the house, I'm worried that the people below will not serve me wholeheartedly, so you can accompany me over to take a look. ”
Hearing this, Xia He only felt a sullen breath in his chest, but he couldn't vent, so he could only sigh that his wife was too willful, and silently responded.
In the east wing, An Ruolan slept sweetly in Liu's arms, completely unaware that she had been so speculated by her mother.
Meng Shi really went to Jin Guiyuan, and brought a lot of tonic herbs over, ready to replenish An Ruoxian's body.
In Jin Guiyuan, Meng Shi was extremely warmly entertained, Xue Shi and An Ruoxian kept circling her, doing everything they could to please her, coaxing her to laugh constantly, and even the sorrow in her heart in recent days was swept away. After receiving the letter and knowing that An Shiyan would not return home for lunch, she even stayed at Jinguiyuan for lunch.
Meng Shi lived a leisurely life in Jinguiyuan, and forgot about An Ruolan's illness at all, after lunch, she hugged An Ruoxian to play the piano and patiently taught An Ruoxian to write.
It wasn't until the evening, after An Shiyan returned home, that Meng reluctantly returned to Xinyue Garden.
Besides, An Ruolan, after being woken up in the morning and drinking medicine once, the fever gradually subsided, but she was tired, so she fell asleep again, and when she woke up, it was dusk, she still felt dizzy, and after barely using some clear porridge, she had a little energy.
After lying down for a long time, An Ruolan sat up with the help of Liu, slowly swept his eyes over the few people in front of him, and saw that Liu, the two grandmothers, and Huang Ying were all there, and he couldn't see Bailing, so he asked, "Where is Bailing?" ”
"Bai Ling was derelict in his duties, he didn't take good care of Miss, and was ordered to stay on the wall of the room, waiting for Miss to fall." Mama Zhang replied.
It turned out that Meng refused to come, and the two grandmothers did not dare to use lynching, so they asked Bai Ling to go back to the wall of the room first and wait for punishment.
An Ruolan frowned and squinted at Huang Ying.
When Mama Zhang spoke, Huang Ying was secretly looking at An Ruolan, and when she saw An Ruolan coming over, she suddenly pleaded, and looked at An Ruolan with tears in her eyes.
An Ruolan saw through her thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but snort coldly in her heart, pretending to be puzzled: "Wasn't it Huang Ying who kept vigil last night?" ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in surprise and they all looked at Huang Ying.
Huang Ying shuddered, lowered her head to avoid everyone's attention, and was secretly annoyed.
The reason why she insisted on keeping vigil for Bailing last night was to sell a good one in Miss, but she didn't expect Miss to get sick in the middle of the night, and she kept ** constantly, she panicked, afraid of being punished, so she secretly ran back to the room before dawn, because everyone didn't know that she had kept a vigil on Bailing last night.
She originally thought that Miss would look at Madame's face and let Bai Ling take her guilt, but now Miss pointed it out in public, and now, she is not just guilty of dereliction of duty.
Huang Ying immediately fell to the ground in fright, crying, and didn't even dare to beg for mercy.
The two grandmothers and the Liu family were so smart, they immediately guessed the reason, and were about to teach a lesson, but a little maid ran in from outside and said, "The third young master has come to see Miss!" ”
