Chapter 212 Overcoming the Problem
When the general stepped into Ningrong Courtyard, it was a refreshing orchid fragrance, Su Nianyu always had to stand and take a look every time she came and went, she liked this kind of fragrance very much, clean and comfortable, and it was easy to forget the unhappiness in her heart.
It's just that today, she doesn't have such a mood.
When she was welcomed in by the maid, she happened to hear her grandmother's louder cough, and Mother Zhao, who was waiting in front of her, put her hand on her back and patted her gently, but her tone was anxious and worried: "...... Are you feeling better, old lady? Over the past few days, your cough seems to be getting worse. ”
Old Madam Su only covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed again and again, and even a tear or two popped out of the corner of her eye because she coughed so badly.
After a while, Mrs. Su relented.
Mother Zhao hurriedly handed her a glass of water first, "The old lady drink some water to moisten her throat, so as not to hurt her throat." ”
Old Madam Su pushed the teacup away, put one hand on her forehead, closed her eyes, and looked very haggard.
Mother Zhao and Mother Li, who were guarding on both sides, glanced at each other, and their eyes were very helpless; Mother Zhao's temperament has always been quiet and gentle, but now she is helpless.
She put the teacup aside and said worriedly, "The old lady must be very tired if she didn't close her eyes all night." Why don't you drink this bowl of medicine and then go to lie down on the couch, and it will feel better after all. ”
Mrs. Su still closed her eyes, and said for a long time: "I really can't sleep, it's uncomfortable to lie down...... I'm here," he pointed to the location of his heart, and said, "Be cautious here!" ”
Mother Zhao naturally knows what her master is thinking. He comforted softly: "Old lady, your body is not very good now, and you need to open your heart." As for the matter of the second girl. I'm afraid it's a foregone conclusion, and if you think about it and hide it in your heart, it won't do your body any good. ”
Mrs. Su opened her eyes and looked at Mother Zhao, and sighed for a long time: "Alas, what a well-behaved girl, she would commit such a foolish thing......"
Old Madam Su closed her eyes again, her expression sad. Rao is Zhao's mother and Li's mother, who have served her for many years, are just watching and don't know what to do.
The two of them stood with sad faces, but they heard a crisp voice coming from behind them. "Grandmother, are you feeling better?"
Mother Li and Mother Zhao turned around at this time, and when they saw that it was Su Nianyu, they greeted them. "Big girl, you're here!"
Su Nianyu is wearing a plain white butterfly pattern dress today. The makeup is also light and dry, and he purses his lips with a smile, which is really comfortable to look at.
Even Old Madam Su, who was sitting on the pear blossom wood chair, saw that her face was a little less depressed, and she nodded at her, "Why is Sister Yu here?" ”
Su Nianyu walked over and said with a smile: "I heard that my grandmother hasn't slept all night, and I'm worried that your body can't stand it." I'll come and see you. ”
When Mrs. Su heard this, she only nodded slightly. "You are more and more sensible now, if you would never have said that you wanted to come and see me......" Speaking of this, he seemed to feel that it was not appropriate to say this, so he pursed his lips again, raised his hand and pointed to the position next to her, "You sit and talk!" ”
Su Nianyu sat next to her, and when she raised her eyes, she saw a bowl of black and slimy medicinal soup on the table, which was no longer steaming.
Thinking about it, my grandmother was in a bad mood and didn't want to take medicine, so the potion went from hot to cold.
The two mothers are Mrs. Su's right-hand men, and their skills in observing words and expressions are also very powerful, and Su Nianyu took a look at them like this, and they also fell in their eyes.
Mother Zhao leaned over, embarrassed: "The old lady felt uncomfortable, and she only barely drank half a bowl of white porridge for breakfast, but she didn't drink this serious medicinal soup, and even the bowl was cold." ”
Su Nianyu looked up at Mrs. Su, and said to the two mothers with a smile: "Grandmother is in a bad mood, she always has to take medicine, so you can send someone to heat up the medicine again and serve it again, and then see if grandmother will give me face." ”
When the two mothers heard this, they couldn't ask for it, and there was a little joy in their eyes, and Mother Li picked up the soup bowl with her hands and feet, and said, "The old slave will go and heat up the medicinal soup, and you will talk slowly." ”
Mother Li was happy with a face, walked briskly, and took the door out very understandingly; Originally, Zhao's mother was also worried about her grandchildren talking, and it would be inconvenient for her to be present, thinking that it would be better for her to avoid it. He only took two steps, but was called back by the girl.
"Mother Zhao can stay in the house if she has nothing to do, you are more careful and thoughtful, if I don't do well when serving my grandmother, you can just guide me."
Mother Zhao didn't dare to say it, but she knew in her heart that the eldest girl's words meant that she didn't have to avoid it, so she returned to Mrs. Su's side.
Old Madam Su still looked like she couldn't lift her spirits, but she listened to all the conversations in her ears, she frowned and said, "I really don't want to take medicine today, don't persuade me." ”
The smile on Zhao's mother's face froze: "The old lady ......" was embarrassed and worried.
Su Nianyu was silent, but said softly: "On the way to visit her grandmother, her granddaughter happened to meet her father, and she also heard about her second sister, and her granddaughter was also sad. The second sister has always been very well-behaved, and I couldn't accept it for a while, so my grandmother was so sad, and my granddaughter could understand it. It's just that grandmother, your body is important, as the two mothers said, a good mood is conducive to your recovery; Besides, if Daddy sees you like this, he will definitely not eat and sleep well, after all, he doesn't want to see such a scene, only to see that his eyes are still red, and his heart must be very sad. ”
Old Madam Su finally raised her spirits, and Su Nianyu took the opportunity to say: "What's more, these things about the second sister-in-law, the granddaughter heard that the secrecy is very good, and I want to come this time, even if it is appropriate to go to the servant's house to discuss the divorce, as long as the reason for the divorce is reasonable, it may not have much impact on the second sister, grandmother, you have to relax." ”
When Mrs. Su heard this, there seemed to be a little light in her sad eyes, and her body, which was originally leaning softly on the back of the chair, suddenly sat up straight: "Sister Yu is right, she knows that Sister Qing has committed such a wrong thing." It's not much," he said, after a moment's thought. "Presumably, with the noble status of Princess Rong'an, it should be rare to see other ladies or ladies on weekdays."
Su Nianyu smiled, knowing the meaning of what her grandmother said.
Grandmother planned to seal everyone's mouth for the matter of the second sister-in-law, but among them, the prince, Ling Shizi and Princess Rong'an also knew the secret, and with her identity as the old lady of Sufu, it was impossible to talk to them about this matter.
I also feel that men don't like Taoist gossip. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Ling should not talk about this matter; Thinking about it, Princess Rong'an's lively and active personality may be spoken, but she lives in the palace. I didn't have much chance to talk to the ladies in the capital about this, so my grandmother said those words.
As soon as Mrs. Su figured it out, her face finally improved a lot. She took Su Nianyu's hand. There was a faint smile on his face: "Sister Yu is still a good analyst, I only thought about Sister Qing'er's divorce before, I don't know what people will think of her, my heart is messy, I didn't think of this, if I am really old, it is easy to get confused." ”
Mother Zhao saw that Mrs. Su finally had an expression, and she was happy in her heart. also followed: "Where is the old lady old, it is clear that she hasn't slept all night." That's why I can't figure out the connection between these things. ”
Mrs. Su followed and supported her head and said, "Alas, no, it's just that I haven't slept all night, and I can't even use my brain." ”
At this moment, the maid came up with the hot medicinal soup.
Su Nianyu said, "Grandmother, you have to take medicine to make it." ”
Now that Mrs. Su has figured it out in her heart, she can say anything, she looked at the black and slimy medicine, and said, "Alas, this medicine is very bitter, and it is very difficult to eat." ”
Su Nianyu took the medicinal soup in the maid's hand and smiled: "The medicine is bitter, not to mention that Mother Zhao specially prepared sweet dried plums for you." ”
Mother Zhao shook the fruit box in her hand in front of Mrs. Su, and echoed: "The old slave can contain several dried fruits in it, and the old lady can eat whatever you want after taking the medicine." ”
Mrs. Su took a dried plum from the fruit box and put it in her mouth, then locked her brows, held the medicinal soup and drank it with her head up.
After putting down the empty bowl, Mrs. Su's whole face was already wrinkled, Su Nianyu hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, Mrs. Su hurriedly drank it in a big gulp, drank two large cups in a row, and put several sweet dried fruits in her mouth, and Mrs. Su's expression as if she was facing a great enemy relaxed.
I didn't forget to turn my head and "complain" to Su Nianyu: "I have to drink this bitter medicinal soup every day, it's very unbearable." ”
Mother Li snorted and laughed: "The old lady is obviously afraid of hardship to feel hard, but you can't help but drink." ”
Old Madam Su sighed at this time, "Not really." ”
As soon as Mrs. Su's heart knot was untied, she finally regained her anger, and Su Nianyu even felt that compared to the previous meeting of her ancestors and grandchildren, her grandmother seemed to be more kind and affectionate to her today, and she would throw off her little temperament in front of her, and I don't know if it was because she "unraveled" her.
Anyway, my grandmother is in a much better mood now.
Thinking that as soon as my grandmother drank this medicine, she didn't have any strict knots, and she didn't close her eyes all night, thinking that she would soon feel sleepy and want to rest; In this way, she had to take advantage of this great opportunity to talk to her grandmother in order to fulfill the purpose of her visit.
Grandmother called Zhao's mother: "...... Sister Yu likes to eat dried apricots very much, and if she wants to go back, she will pack a small box for her to take with her. ”
At that time, Su Nianyu was holding a yellow dried apricot in his mouth, but when he heard it, he raised his head; Old Madam Su didn't know that her words had attracted her granddaughter's attention, so she just turned her head and instructed the other maids who were waiting: "Aren't there still fresh Gongjing grapes in the house?" Wash it up quickly and bring it over. ”
Old Madam Su said to herself, compared to her lifeless appearance when she first entered the courtyard, it was much more vivid now; Su Nianyu just glanced at her, and then lowered her eyelashes.
What she was thinking about was her grandmother's words about dried apricots and Gongjing grapes, and she really liked to eat dried apricots, and Gongjing grapes were also her favorite.
It's just that grandmother doesn't hesitate to say exactly these two things she likes, which really makes her a little confused.
Looking back and thinking about it for a while, in the years when I had a bad relationship with my grandmother before, maybe my grandmother accidentally learned about what she liked to eat.
Thinking about it like this, Su Nianyu felt that it was very possible, so when the maid brought the freshly washed Gongjing grapes to her, she picked two very naturally.
Old Madam Su watched her movements and nodded with satisfaction.
During this period, seeing that her grandmother's eyes were flushed, Su Nianyu knew that her grandmother was probably sleepy, if she guessed correctly, her grandmother would soon go back to the back room, and at that time, even if she had something to say, she would lose the opportunity.
So he spit the grape skin on the veil, turned it over again, wiped the corners of his lips, and said bluntly: "Grandmother, granddaughter has done something, and please grandmother, don't blame it." ”
Old Madam Su froze, and Fang Cai's relaxed expression suddenly disappeared without a trace, and even her tone was tense: "What's the matter?" ”
has this reaction, it is really because the shadow left by Sister Qing in front of her is too big, why did she hear Sister Yu'er's words, thinking that Sister Yu should have committed something bad like this? If so, how much better can her mood be?
Fortunately, the delicate granddaughter smiled and said, "The granddaughter learned that her grandmother had beaten the green branch next to her second sister to a forty board, and she was worried that she would not be able to hold on, so without your permission, she took it upon herself to send someone to ask the doctor to help her take a look." ”
Old Madam Su frowned and asked, "That's it?" ”
Su Nianyu still nodded calmly.
Old Madam Su was obviously relieved, and when she turned around, she looked straight at her, and her eyes showed a bit sharpness: "That maid is damned, if she hadn't instigated her behind her back, how could Sister Qing have made such a mistake?" After playing forty boards, whether you live or die is resigned to fate. ”
Su Nianyu said unhurriedly: "My granddaughter also heard about this, but if she dies, it will be very inappropriate." ”
Old Madam Su was not prepared for such a statement, so she asked calmly, "What's wrong?" ”
Su Nianyu smiled, and then explained: "That green branch is the person next to the second sister, if she is beaten by grandmother, it can be said that she has made some mistakes; But if you beat someone to death, people outside will definitely think that there must be something hidden in this. Thinking of the green branch being the person next to the second sister, it is hard to guarantee that no one will pay attention to the second sister, and then touch the melon ......"
Su Nianyu stopped when she said this, knowing that she said it so clearly, her grandmother must have heard the meaning of her words.
Sure enough, the grandmother was silent and said, "You can let the doctor watch this maid well, and you can't let her lose her life." ”
Su Nianyu responded softly, and she was relieved in her heart.
Right now, the green branches are covered in injuries, and in some places they still hurt their muscles and bones, and they really have to be watched by a doctor from time to time; Fortunately, there is no problem on my grandmother's side, so it will not be a problem! (To be continued......)
