Chapter 103: Distressed
Aunt Tian looked at Shen Qingli mysteriously, quietly looked around the left and right, and saw that Mama Chu hadn't come yet, so she quietly opened the paper bag, and a wisp of fragrance immediately dispersed, and some white powder appeared in the paper bag, she poked a little with her fingernail, wiped it on the back of her hand, and whispered: "Its practical method is very simple, just wipe it on your hand a little, and then you ...... again."
Speaking of this, she paused suddenly, and didn't seem to be able to remember what to say for a while, so she simply said, "Forget it, you can take a good look at me later." ”
As he spoke, he poked a little more and wanted to wipe it on Shen Qingli's hand, but Shen Qingli blocked him back: "Auntie, I have to stay and serve my grandmother these few nights, I really don't need this." ”
At the same time, there was a suspicion in her heart, did she want to use acacia incense to let her father-in-law go to her tonight?
"Do so many people in Muyingtang still need the second young lady?" Aunt Tian looked at her with some incredulity, looked at the Huangfu clan again, and said softly, "If the second young lady doesn't want to hear it, Mrs. Tai is afraid that she won't be able to avoid this level, let's do our best, just be pretty, don't care too much." ”
Anyway, Mrs. Tai never looked at her squarely.
For her, Mu Yingtang is dispensable.
"Auntie, don't say that, I'm not here to be pretentious, I'm really here to serve my grandmother." Shen Qingli saw that she didn't care, and said unhappily, "If my aunt is making a show, don't want to save others' stomachs with your own heart!" ”
I really don't understand, she is obviously serving her grandmother with all her heart, how can she just be a show in the eyes of others?
"Okay, the concubine is wrong, don't be angry, the second young lady." Aunt Tian pushed her begging for mercy, and said flatteringly, "The second young lady must not ignore the concubine because of this, otherwise, the concubine will really have no one to speak to in this mansion." ”
Speaking of which, like Shen Qingli, she has no intertwined relationship in this huge Hou Mansion, except for their respective men, it seems that there is no one to rely on.
In addition to her temperament, she and she have a little bit of sympathy.
"Forget it, I'm mad." Shen Qingli saw her pitiful appearance, so he wrapped the bag of acacia incense, put it back in her hand, and sighed, "Thank you aunt for being the best for your heart, now, I just ask my grandmother to get better, and nothing else." ”
Shen Qingli was naturally embarrassed to tell Aunt Tian that she and Mu Yunting were actually husband and wife......
While the two were talking, Mama Chu walked in with tea Yingying.
Then, the door curtain was lifted again, Mu Changyuan and Mu Yunting, father and son, walked in with solemn expressions, and frowned in unison when they saw the two happy women in the room.
After greeting each other, the father and son walked to the bed one after another to look at the Huangfu family, they had just come from the Chang Imperial Doctor, learned about the Huangfu family's condition, and knew that there was really no other way than to wait for the Tianshan Snow Lotus at the moment.
Mu Changyuan saw that Shen Qingli was still waiting in Muying Hall at this time, and there was a trace of warmth in his eyes, this daughter-in-law was still filial, and said, "Erlang, you and your daughter-in-law should go back and rest first!" I'll just be here tonight. ”
Although there are servants and maids, and the imperial doctor is also there, there must always be their own family members here to guard them in order to fulfill their filial piety.
Touching Mu Changyuan's gaze, Shen Qingli's face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Father, you still have official business during the day, it is not appropriate to stay up late, at night, it is better for your daughter-in-law to stay here!" ”
Mu Changyuan looked at Mu Yunting, as if asking for his opinion.
Mu Yunting didn't look at Shen Qingli either, just sat down in front of the desk, calmly poured himself a cup of tea, cleared his throat and said, "Li Niang is right, my father is still busy with official business during the day, and there are so many people, so I don't need my father to stay up late, so I will guard here tonight, and the rest of the people will take turns to be on duty at night." ”
"You're not going to court tomorrow?" Mu Changyuan was a little surprised.
"I'll take a break tomorrow." Mu Yunting picked up the tea bowl, took a sip gently, and saw Mu Changyuan looking at him suspiciously, and added, "The emperor knows that grandmother is seriously ill, so he specially approves it." ”
Mu Changyuan was relieved this time.
Isn't he going to stay here with him tonight?
Shen Qingli glanced at Mu Yunting quietly, Mu Yunting only lowered his head to drink tea without raising his head.
"Sir, you drink tea." Seeing Mu Changyuan sit down, Aunt Tian stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea, and her soft hand touched his shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.
Mu Changyuan took the teacup, and then looked at Aunt Tian's gaze, which had more deep meaning.
No way! So effective?
Shen Qingli hurriedly lowered his eyes.
For some reason, I suddenly wanted to laugh.
Aunt Shicaitian said that the reason why she smeared the acacia incense on her hand was because the hand could move freely, which allowed the other party to feel the breath of the acacia incense at close range, so as to achieve the purpose of confusing the other party.
Mu Yunting looked at Shen Qingli quietly, and then at Aunt Tian, seeing that one pretended to be calm, and the other was somewhat scratching his head and gestured, and he didn't speak, just drank tea silently.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"Since Erlang, you will rest tomorrow, then you can stay tonight!" Mu Changyuan seemed to be a little unable to sit still, glanced at Aunt Tian, got up and said, "I'm a little tired for my father, so I'll go back first." ”
"Father, don't worry, I'm here." Mu Yunting got up and said.
Shen Qingli also got up to send him off.
Aunt Tian followed behind Mu Changyuan with crooked eyebrows and walked out.
"Shizi, the second young lady, let's go to the warm pavilion to rest for a while!" Mama Chu stepped forward and said, "Just now, Mrs. Chang took the pulse and said that Mrs. Tai's pulse was calm and she would be fine." ”
"Mama is also tired for a day, let's go down to rest and rest first, let's just keep watch here." Mu Yunting said in a deep voice.
"The prince and the second young lady are tired, and the slave maid will go down to prepare a supper for the prince and the second young lady." Mama Chu retreated respectfully, gave a look to the maid standing in the room, and everyone retreated to the coat room.
The candlelight in the room was dim.
Shen Qingli got up and took scissors and cut it, and the candlelight jumped and lit up.
"Wanwan, you've been tired for the past two days, go back and rest, tonight, I'll just stay here." Mu Yunting saw that her face was a little haggard, and she became thinner, and frowned, "It's the same if you come over tomorrow." ”
He knew that she hadn't been back to the house for the past two days, and had been guarding here, and she had long been distressed, but he was even busier, not only had a lot of things to do, but also kept an eye on the movements in the Western Regions, and now the fast horse in the palace had been gone for a day and a night, no accident, and she would come back in four or five days, but who could guarantee that this matter would be smooth sailing!
Besides, it is still a question whether you can get the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
What if there is nothing in the Western Regions Palace or they don't give it?
Mu Yunting knows that in recent years, the relationship between the Western Regions and Daliang has been hot and cold, not very good, after all, the two countries have talked about border trade several times but have not reached an agreement, who knows if they will be troubled because of this?
If the palace doesn't give it and looks for the Tianshan Snow Lotus among the people, it is simply equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack.
In the Western Regions, the Tianshan Snow Lotus belongs to the royal family, and the common people have to hand it over to the palace when they pick it, and the private collection of the Snow Lotus is to be beheaded.
Therefore, except for the black market, it is almost impossible to find Tianshan Snow Lotus among the people.
"You'd better go back! Grandmother has to feed water and wipe herself every other hour at night, and it is inconvenient for you to be here, and you can't interfere. Shen Qingli lowered her eyes and said, I don't know why, she was suddenly embarrassed to see him.
As soon as I saw him, I couldn't help but think of the night when he covered her ear and called her over and over again......
"Then let's stay together!" Seeing the supper brought in by Mama Chu, Mu Yunting smiled, and sat down in front of the desk, ready to eat.
The supper is some sweet glutinous rice balls, with some bean paste and soup added to it, which is somewhat similar to the rice balls, probably knowing that the two of them don't like the taste of the capital, so they added a few small meat buns, as well as some seasonal side dishes and fruits.
It's just that to Shen Qingli's surprise, there is also a plate of sauce pig's trotters on the table, which is the same as the one the two of them ate in that old restaurant that time.
I can't help but think of the snake, the scorpion.
Seeing that she was surprised, he explained expressionlessly: "I know that you love to eat, so I brought it back." ”
"Thank you." Her heart suddenly warmed.
"It's not enough to just say thank you." He picked up a few green vegetables, put them in his mouth and chewed them, without looking at her, and said, "You have to take action." ”
She pretended not to hear, but just lowered her head and ate to herself.
It turns out that this thing in front of you is also heartless, your grandmother is lying unconscious in bed, and you are still in the mood to flirt here, your sister!
Su originally wanted to wait for Mu Changyuan to come back to discuss his mother-in-law's condition, to see if he could find a few more doctors from outside to come over and take a look, but who knew that he couldn't see anyone left and right, so he knew that he had gone to Lixiangyuan.
At that moment, I was so angry that my heart trembled.
She had worked hard for several days, but she didn't get any comforting words from him, and the little slut just took advantage of the vacancy and sat down for a while, but it was meritorious.
Ignoring his mother, who was still unconscious in bed, he accompanied the little slut upside down.
"Madam, that Aunt Tian is really excessive." Mama Xu also said unhappily, "You see how many things have happened in the house recently, but she is like a nobody, only caring about her own happiness, but the slave maid has heard that she has often come to give her rouge gouache or something in her shop recently, and she knows that she dresses up with all her heart to please the master." After a pause, he said, "The slave maid saw that Aunt Tian had been quite close to the second young lady recently, but she didn't know what the two of them were bored with. ”
"Humph! That little slut can see far away, and he is close to Erlang's daughter-in-law in advance. Su Shi sneered, "I'm afraid that in the future, she will be on the wrong team and stand on the wrong team." ”
"But madam, it's also a fact that Aunt Tian is favored now!" Mama Xu continued to sigh, seeing that there was another gray hair quietly in Su's sideburns, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she said in a low voice, "Madam, you can't let Aunt Tian mess around anymore." ”
"I have my own opinion on this matter, tomorrow, you accompany me to Ruyi Building." Su Shi said coldly. (Want to know more exciting news about "The World Wife"?)
