Chapter 27: Stubborn Disease
Ask for collections, ask for tickets~~——
The sky was getting dark, Bao Hibiscus lit the lamp, and was lighting the wick, and Lu's mother picked the curtain and came in.
Chu Weilin heard the movement, looked up, and put the book in his hand on the table: "Mom, sit down." ”
Mother Lu pushed, but she couldn't resist Chu Weilin, and sat down in the corner of the embroidery pier: "The slave maid just came from Yishun Hall." ”
Chu Weilin was a little surprised, this hour is not early, Lu's mother is the one who cares about their sister and brother the most, because of the rules, she can't live in the outer courtyard to take care of Chu Weicong, she guards Qinghui Garden every day, and also takes care of the main courtyard that is empty because of the death of the hostess, so she rarely stays in other places until so late before coming back.
Under the warm yellow light, Lu's mother's face was a little sad, as if she was holding back her stomach.
"Mom, what's going on in Yishun Hall?" Chu Weilin motioned for Bao Jin to pour tea for Lu's mother and asked.
When Mother Lu heard this, she sighed, the blue and white hijab skimmed the tea foam, and the heat came up, so that her eyes were slightly blurred, she blinked vigorously, and saw that Chu Weilin and Bao Jin were looking at her with concern, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's actually Mother Xue's business that the girl is worried." ”
Mother Xue used to be the most powerful person by Mrs. Zhang's side, and she entered the house as a dowry maid, and she had a decent place in every room and courtyard.
Many years ago, Xue's mother had a marriage, and the man died before she passed the door, and the man did not ask her to be widowed, but Xue's mother was a real person, and she had been serving Mrs. Zhang, and sent some of the monthly salaries to that side.
This incident is not a secret in the Chu family, and it was even something that the ancestors preached back then, so as to raise the conduct of the daughters of the Chu family.
In order for the Jiang family to be able to breathe a sigh of relief in front of her mother-in-law, as soon as she entered the door, Lu's mother had a lot of relationships with the maids and mothers-in-law in Yishun Hall, so she was also familiar with Xue's mother and Yu's mother.
"The girl knows that Mother Xue's body was not very good more than ten years ago, and she has fallen ill again in the past few days." Mother Lu shook her head slowly, "I just went to see her, it's pitiful to think about it, obviously she is the same age as Aunt Xia, and it's a round away." ”
"If you drink medicine every day, where can you have energy." Bao Jin frowned and said, "The slave's master is like this, it is a three-point poison. ”
Since Xue's mother was sick, Mrs. Zhang has been letting her recuperate, and has assigned two little maids to take care of her, this care is more than ten years, and the maids have been changed twice, and the two little ones who want to come to Yishun Hall today are for Xue's mother.
"This old man can't stand the toss of the sickbed, just like this autumn weather, an autumn rain and a cold." Mother Lu said, shivered, raised her eyes, saw that there was still a crack in the window, and said busily, "Girl, you can't blow this wind." Watch out for your body. After saying that, he urged Bao Hibiscus to close the window.
Chu Weilin was unwilling to fight with Lu's mother on these trivial matters, so she also went with her.
Bao Jin closed the window and said with a smile: "The girl will listen to her mother." ”
Mother Lu also smiled when she heard this, her eyes were kind: "The girl will flip through the book for a while, and it will be time to rest after a while." ”
Chu Weilin bowed.
The next day, the weather was fine.
Chu Weilin was the first to enter Yishun Hall, and Mrs. Zhang looked her up and down a few times, and motioned for her to sit down without saying a word.
The Li family was late because of Chu Weixuan's crying, which provoked Mrs. Zhang's anger, and Chu Weichen and Chu Weixuan cried and knelt for a quarter of an hour.
Chu Weilin looked at her nose and nose, and sat respectfully, Chu Weiyi was restrained and awkward, but she had never been favored, and at this time, she wished that she was transparent.
When Mrs. Zhang was angry, she sent people away.
As soon as he left the main house, Holly followed him out of the house, and said, "The old lady invites the fifth girl in." ”
Chu Weichen was stunned for a moment, and his red and swollen eyes, which had not faded, suddenly burst into tears again, and he tightened Li's hand and refused to let go.
Li was also frightened, and whispered to Holly: "Girl, old lady, this is ......"
Holly gave a reassuring look and said, "The old lady just wants to ask the fifth girl to accompany her to talk." ”
Chu Weichen was skeptical, asked and confirmed again, and then put down his heart and walked in.
Holly said to Chu Weilin again: "Look at what the old lady means, it is a few girls in turn, and tomorrow it should be you the sixth girl." ”
Chu Weilin wrote it down, and after returning to Qinghui Garden, she asked Baolian to go to Shunyi Hall.
Baolian came back after inquiring, Chu Weichen did just talk to Mrs. Zhang, and was not overly embarrassed, and Holly privately told Baolian that Mrs. Zhang often looked at Chu Weilin's embroidered purse.
On the second day, Chu Weilin was really left behind by Mrs. Zhang.
Holly came in with the medicine and waited for Mrs. Zhang to take it, Chu Weilin sat on the edge of Luohan's bed, picked out a candied fruit from the bowl, and put it into Mrs. Zhang's mouth.
Old Lady Zhang took the candied fruit in her mouth, closed her eyes and rested for a while, before she asked slowly, "Verin, what are you doing these days?" ”
"Writing, female red, I remember what my grandmother said, you have to practice diligently." Chu Weilin replied.
This answer made Mrs. Zhang very satisfied, and said: "It's not interesting to sit stupidly with the old woman, you embroider flowers by yourself for a while, and I'll sleep for a while." ”
Chu Weilin complied, arranged the thin blanket for Mrs. Zhang, added a brocade quilt, and then sat lightly on the table, waiting for Baolian to send her half-embroidered handkerchief.
Mrs. Zhang's breathing was smooth, and she slept very deeply, and she slowly woke up after an hour.
Chu Weilin was alert, and when she heard the sound, she put down the embroidery shed in her hand and turned back to Luohan's bedside: "Grandmother is awake?" ”
Holly poured water and waited for Mrs. Zhang to moisten her throat.
"Help me up." Old Lady Zhang supported Chu Weilin to sit up, Holly put a few shots, she leaned on it and said, "How is the embroidery, bring it to me to see." ”
Taking over the embroidery shed from Chu Weilin's hands, Mrs. Zhang held it with both hands and looked at it carefully.
The lake color material is embroidered with unbloomed lotus flowers, and the petals transition from white to pink, smooth and natural.
Old Lady Zhang put down the embroidery bandage, patted Chu Weilin's hand, and said earnestly: "Weilin, you have to remember that intelligence is talent, and diligence is virtue. Your talent has been lost, but your virtue cannot be lost. ”
Chu Weilin responded.
"Old lady." Dong Ao's voice came from the middle room, "Mother Xue is here." ”
Old Lady Zhang's brows furrowed almost invisibly: "For the sake of it, you go to the blue yarn cupboard." When Chu Weilin went in, she said, "Let her in." ”
The curtain was raised, and Dong Que helped the sick Mother Xue to come in.
