Chapter 28 Borrowing
Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, thank you~~――
Chu Weilin knew that Mrs. Zhang was afraid of being sick, so she let her enter the Bisha cupboard.
Through the cracks, she peeked out.
Chu Weilin hadn't seen Mother Xue for a long time.
Mother Xue has always given her the impression that she is sick and weak. Pale hair, a lifeless face covered with folds, and a rickety body, even walking has to be supported by a maid.
"Old lady." Mother Xue saluted and sat in a corner on the far pestle.
When Mrs. Zhang saw her like this, she complained, "What are you doing here?" Two sick old women, still have to lean on and cry? ”
Mother Xue's eyes were red when she heard this, and a pair of sallow hands pinched the hem of her blouse, and only said half-loudly: "The slave maid just thought that she was in good shape today, so she came to kowtow to the old lady." ”
"Don't break those rules!" Old Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, "Dong Kui, help Mother Xue go back." ”
Dong Kui responded, but Mother Xue refused to leave, and took out a bunch of keys from her arms in a trembling manner: "The slave maid has been sick all these years, and the old lady has been ****, has food to eat and medicine to drink, and let the slave and maid take care of the warehouse." This time, the slave and maid thought about it, so let's hand over the key. After all, the body of the slave and maid is really more than enough and not enough. ”
After Xue's mother finished speaking, she trembled and wanted to stuff the key to Dong Kui.
Tomhock is not connected, nor is it pushed, and it is embarrassing.
"That's it!" Mrs. Zhang couldn't see them like this, and said angrily, "Don't care, Dong Kui, you can accept it." ”
When Mother Xue saw that Dong Kui had received it, her face was relieved with a little reluctance and emotion, she only felt that her nose was sour, so she quickly confessed her guilt and asked the little maid to help her out.
Dong Lai was sent to the outside of the main house, and when she turned in, Chu Weilin had already come out of the blue yarn cupboard.
Old Mrs. Zhang looked tired, as if Mother Xue's visit had upset her.
Chu Weilin glanced at the old man deeply, her sideburns were dense with silver threads, and the whole person was weak from the bottom, she suddenly thought of what Lu's mother had said that day.
The human body is also the same as this autumn weather, an autumn rain and a cold.
Thinking of her previous life, Mrs. Zhang only experienced one more winter, and died half a year after Mrs. Wen died.
Although there is not much friendship between grandparents and grandchildren, it is inevitable that there will be some pity.
Especially Chu Weilin thought countless times that if Mrs. Zhang had not died of illness, the road behind the three of them would not have been so painful.
Thinking about it like this, she became more and more soft-hearted, and Chu Weilin took care of the brocade quilt for Mrs. Zhang.
Old Lady Zhang closed her eyes, and her voice was hoarse: "Verin, you go back first, it's enough to stay in Holly." ”
Chu Weilin knew that Mrs. Zhang had been tough all her life, and she didn't want her children and grandchildren to see her weak appearance, so she took advantage of the situation.
Out of the main house, I glanced at the courtyard of Yishun Hall, and there were still no flowers and bonsai, which seemed lonely.
At the corner door leading to the back cover room, two little maids stood on the left and right of Mother Xue, who was leaning against the wall, and a woman in a maroon skirt stood next to her, talking in a low voice.
Chu Weilin was looking fixedly, and the other side seemed to notice her gaze, and also turned her head.
It's Aunt Xia.
Aunt Xia saw Chu Weilin and gave a salute with a smile.
Chu Weilin stepped over and said goodbye.
"It's only been a long time since I've seen the sixth girl, and I can't recognize it all of a sudden, and the whole person has grown up all of a sudden." Aunt Xia laughed as she spoke.
Obviously two people of the same age, Aunt Xia gives people a completely different feeling from Mother Xue, even if there are fine lines at the corners of her eyes that can't be covered, the whole person is still in good spirits, and her slightly fat figure has the richness of a woman in the inner courtyard.
Chu Weilin said a few words modestly, and then turned the topic to Mother Xue: "Is Mom okay?" ”
Mother Xue's head was lowered, and she said hoarsely: "Miss Xie Liu cares, and the slave is fine." ”
Aunt Xia explained: "I heard that there is a new recipe, right?" I've told you several times, let you relax and recuperate, your heart is not relaxed, what can you do with that medicine alone? You always think about things and can't sleep at night! After finishing speaking, he couldn't help sighing, "I just hope you can listen, I won't delay you, go back and rest quickly." ”
Mother Xue didn't stay and went back to her own room.
Aunt Xia watched her go away, and looked at Qi Qi and Chu Weilin and said: "It's been decades since I was together, and I don't feel good to see her like this." ”
"My aunt is a person of great affection."
Chu Weilin's words made Aunt Xia sigh again, and then called the maid to help her.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Chu Weilin wanted to go back to Qinghui Garden first, but before she could get out of Yishun Hall, she was stopped by Dong Kui.
"Girl," Dong Kui said with some embarrassment on her face, and said to Chu Weilin, "There are not enough people in the small kitchen today, can you ......?"
Chu Weilin was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Why is it not enough?" ”
Dong Kui blushed and said crampedly: "There are two people who suddenly come to Kwai Shui, the old lady taboos this, and does not let them enter the kitchen when they see red, the old lady and Mother Xue's daily medicine can't miss the hour, Aunt Xia is also drinking tonic medicine, the slave is afraid that it will be too late, so she dares to borrow someone from the girl." ”
There are many things that Mrs. Zhang is taboo about, and Chu Weilin also understands it, so she nodded: "I'll let Manniang come over later." ”
When Dong Lai heard this, his face was full of joy and thanked him again and again.
Baolian followed Chu Weilin back to Qinghui Garden, waited for her to enter the house and sat down, and said, "The slave maid went to talk to Manniang." ”
Chu Weilin bowed her head, Baolian was picking up the curtain and going out, and she was called out again: "Tell Manniang, the maids and women in Yishun Hall are not empty, since they go to help, they will help well, and they will take the initiative to send the medicine after decoction, and Holly and Hollyhock will not open their mouths to tell her because of their faces." ”
"It's still a girl who thinks well." Pauline smiled and went out.
It wasn't until the time of the palm lamp that Man Niang came back from Yishun Hall.
Baolian asked a few words briefly, and knew that it was appropriate, so she was also relieved.
Chu Weilin listened to Baolian's reply, pondered for a while, and called Man Niang in.
For the first time, Manniang entered the master's house, bowing her head in restraint, not daring to look around.
Under the dim candlelight, the little girl in the year of cardamom looks upright, has a delicate complexion, only lacks some experience in doing things, and looks a little small, but as long as she is carved well, it is not useless.
It's a pity that in the near future, Zhao San'er died violently, and this girl also broke her future.
Chu Weilin put these thoughts aside and asked, "What did you do in Yishun Hall today?" ”
Man Niang glanced up at Chu Weilin, and quickly lowered her head: "Back to the girl, the slave maid is doing things in the small kitchen, and Sister Holly asked the slave maid to decoct the medicine for Mother Xue." The slave remembered Sister Baolian's advice, and when the medicine was ready, she sent it to Mother Xue. ”
