17 wounds
After entering Cuiwi's literacy, Shi Xiangyun finally knew that he was wrong. In his shoes, if his father was alive and his uncles did not have titles and deliberately tossed, he would have done more than this cousin, even if he smashed the cup and the bowl on the spot. In contrast, the second sister was already very good to herself, not only did she not blame herself, but she taught herself very sincerely, suing herself for those things that she had not noticed before. Whether it's the old lady or the two aunts of yourself, I'm afraid that I don't have the patience to tell myself the door, maybe I still feel that it's good to be ignorant.
Even if he is young, Shi Xiangyun also knows that his monthly money is not as good as the two taels of silver per month in Tanchun, and it is not as good as Jia Baoyu's monthly money of ten taels per month. And she is the eldest daughter of the Shi family, that is, the title and ancestral business were given to her third uncle, but what about her father's private property and her mother's dowry?
Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but think, no one had ever mentioned those things in front of him, could it be that those things were no longer there, no more?
Shi Xiangyun has always been a little chivalrous, and chivalry is nothing more than pity for the weak. The chivalrous hoe on the legend of the book helps the weak and is often the idol in the hearts of children. But many times, chivalrous people are not so upright, stealing chickens and dogs, regardless of the cause and process of things, seeing that others are living better than themselves, they see that the other party is not pleasing to the eye, relying on their own ability to stumble on each other, to put it bluntly, many chivalrous people, in the name of chivalry, in fact, to put it bluntly, is just to find a high-sounding reason for their hatred of the rich.
Shi Xiangyun also yearns for the chivalrous man in the legend, and he has also gone into a misunderstanding, and even more so, neither Jia's mother nor his uncles and aunts have ever raised him. Shi Xiangyun is the girl of the Shi family. It's just Jia's mother's niece and nephew, not her own granddaughter. Mother Jia doesn't even have so much energy to teach her own granddaughter, let alone Shi Xiangyun? As for the two Hou ladies of the Shi family. Before, Shi Xiangyun was basically raised in front of Jia's mother, and rarely got along with them, I believe that from now on, Shi Xiangyun, who has a knot, is afraid that he will be even more reluctant to listen to them.
But Shi Xiangyun's chivalrous spirit is just a little bit. The difference between him and Lin Daiyu is that Lin Daiyu dares to do it, obviously it is Jia Baoyu who brought "The Legend of the West Chamber", because he has read it, even Xue Baochai is not completely right, and he also admits it. Shi Xiangyun is the opposite. If he does something wrong, he will definitely not admit it, just like Lin Daiyu's drama. Shi Xiangyun originally refused to go back to apologize to Jia Jiu, but he couldn't help Cui Wei encourage him behind him:
"Girl, you only saw the eldest girl being locked up, but you didn't see the eldest girl eating and drinking, and now she is all fat; You only saw the second girl's decent, but you didn't see the second girl being implicated by the eldest girl, and her face was full of blood. These days, the second girl's face has been smeared with a thick layer of green paste, and she doesn't feel it if she is used to it. But the servant heard about it. Under that layer of green paste, the second girl's face is full of blood! This is the reason why Queen Taishang knew what the eldest girl had done, and she couldn't directly punish the eldest girl for deliberately making the second girl angry and admonishing the house. ”
Shi Xiangyun's eyes widened and said, "Really? ”
Cui Wei said: "It's not true. The girl forgot about it. In the past, the maid and Qingwen were both second-class girls in the old lady's house, because he was skillful and did a good hand in needlework, so the maid often asked him for needlework. The two of us have a good relationship too. Qingwen said it herself, and the second girl's face was slashed diagonally with her fingernails for several inch-long wounds. It's even more troublesome. Those big girls use official powder and hu powder, and these rouge gouaches are used to achieve a better whitening effect. It's all mixed with arsenic! Girl, you think, most of the arsenic sold in the pharmacy outside is for poisonous rats, which shows how powerful it is! The wounds where the arsenic penetrated the nails into the second girl's face made the second girl suffer a lot. These days, the second girl has not rested well, her appetite is not good, and her head still hurts. To make matters worse, by the third day, these wounds began to fester, suppurate, and bleed. The second girl knew that this was a warning from Queen Taishang's mother to her family, so she didn't even dare to apply the wound medicine, so she could only squeeze out the pus and poisonous blood on her face by herself. Listening to Qingwen, the second girl's face is full of blood! I don't know if that face will heal the day. ”
Shi Xiangyun was terrified when he heard this, and said, "How is it possible? If the second sister's face was so badly injured, why didn't the old lady say anything about it? ”
Cui Wei said: "Girl, the girl's future is on this face, if the second girl's face is really bad, this future will naturally be over, the old lady will naturally value the girl more, where will she take care of the second girl?!" ”
Many times, there is no reason for the so-called sympathy, just to look at one side more miserable, so it is more biased towards one side or the other. Like Shi Xiangyun, he saw that Jia Baoyu's treatment was not as good as before, and he heard that someone was arranging Jia Yuanchun's wrong, so he wishfully thought that Jia Jiu was wrong. But hearing what his girl Cui Wei said, Shi Xiangyun immediately favored Jia Jiu in his heart.
It's just that Shi Xiangyun just got angry at Jia Jiu, and at this moment, he was curious about what Jia Jiu's face looked like, and he couldn't open this mouth.
Cui Wei is a good girl, seeing Shi Xiangyun's hesitation, she immediately pouted on the side and said, "Girl, the maid is also curious." I heard that the methods of torture in the palace are powerful, and the crime suffered by the second girl cannot be said to be the means of the queen mother. Why don't the girls sneak a look? I don't think the two ladies or the old ladies will necessarily be able to teach the girl, and only by letting the girl see more and see more can she learn it. ”
Shi Xiangyun's heart moved, and his feet also moved.
Although Shi Xiangyun is not a real smart person or a real fool, he naturally knows what is beneficial to him. If he could see Jia Jiu's current appearance, he would naturally be able to appreciate more. Moreover, listening to Cui Wei's explanation, he also knew that the current owner of this house was Jia Yu, and maintaining a good relationship with Jia Jiu was something he had to do well at the moment.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Xiangyun finally stepped into Jia Jiu's courtyard.
The door of the courtyard was hidden, and there was a faint sound of talking in the ear room, which was Wang Shanbao's family talking to the little girls. From the gate of the courtyard, you can directly see Jia Jiu's house. At this time, the window of Jia Jiu's bedroom was wide open, and Shi Xiangyun could clearly see Jia Jiu sitting under the window and fiddling with his face in the mirror. And the girls in Jia Jiu's house, except for a few who were waiting in front of the girl, the rest of the little girls were mostly absent.
Shi Xiangyun tiptoed down the verandah with Cui Wei to the window of Jia Jiu's bedroom, and secretly looked into the room again, but as soon as he looked up, he was facing the blood hole on Jia Jiu's face. Shi Xiangyun exclaimed in fright, it was too late to cover his mouth and hide his traces at this time.
As soon as Jia Jiu looked up and saw that it was Shi Xiangyun, he immediately beckoned the girls to invite Shi Xiangyun in. Shi Xiangyun came to Jia Jiu's bedroom and couldn't wait to greet Jia Jiu before opening his mouth, and his first words were: "Second sister, your face is ......"
"It's suppurated, it's not good if you don't squeeze it clean."
Shi Xiangyun said: "Is it the injury suffered at the Flower Festival?" ”
"My sister already knows?"
"I just heard that my sister's face was pinched and swollen, but I didn't expect it to hurt so badly."
Jia Jiu said: "Your sisters don't have a heart. It's just that most of the daughters in the boudoir have their nails and are extremely beautiful. This nail is a little bit careless, and it becomes like this. It's just that I don't know what your sisters used to dye their nails, so I can only use this method to squeeze out the pus and poisonous blood little by little. The advantage of this is that there will be blood holes in two or three places at most at a time, and there will not be large-scale erythema like Sister Bao, and the bad part is that the blood holes are very deep, and I don't know when I will be able to restore my former cleanness, let alone whether it will leave scars. ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "That's right, Sister Bao." Is Sister Bao also injured? ”
Jia Jiu was stunned and said, "I don't know about this." How I myself got hurt, I naturally know it myself. But how did Sister Bao get hurt, Sister Bao didn't say anything, and Aunt Xue was vague, so I couldn't talk nonsense. ”
Shi Xiangyun leaned closer, looked at Jia Jiu's face, and said, "It's so scary to look at, a large piece of red here is still bleeding." ”
Jia Jiu said: "This red is squeezed." As for the wound in the middle, it is necessary for him to bleed until all the poisonous blood in the wound is squeezed out, and the wound is no longer hard to the touch, and then when the wound is slightly scabbed, this can be applied with the mashed cactus. It's also thanks to this cactus that fights poison with poison and forces out the residual poison of the wound, otherwise, I'm afraid that my whole face will fester. ”
Shi Xiangyun couldn't bear it in his heart when he heard it, and said: "My sister didn't say anything before, although she painted her face green, she didn't show it at all, I thought it wasn't a big problem." ”
Jia Jiu said: "It's not big. It's just a few more small openings, and when the residual poison is cleared and no longer suppurated, he will slowly grow up. All it takes is time. I'm not very old, so I'm just raising it slowly, so why worry about the elders? ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "Two days ago, did the second sister also go to Zhang's house like this?" ”
Jia Jiu said: "Of course. That day happened to be the day when the Imperial Doctor Feng asked the old lady of the Zhang family for a pulse, and the Imperial Doctor Feng also said that I used the right method and the right medicine. (To be continued......)
