Chapter 219: Stuff
Sister Yan, who is a head shorter than her, ran out and took her hand, Sister Yan's strength is not the same as ordinary people, and the strength on her hand will be aggravated in normal times, when she is not sick, she seems to be just a young lady who has been sick for a long time and is a little weak, in fact, a pair of eyes are full of flattery and fear.
When her illness improves slightly, she pleases the people around her, and Sister Yan is repaying her relatives' concern for her in her own way.
For Sister Yan, what she can do is to talk to Mrs. He, so that Mrs. He can smile.
In fact, the impact of acute intermittent porphyria on Sister Yan has not completely disappeared, just looking at Sister Yan's nervous white knuckles and cold palms, I know that she must not be comfortable now.
Wanning only felt that Sister Yan was sensible and distressing.
"Sister Yan," Wan Ning sat down, "what do you think?" I just can't go out and walk around at will, so I still have to recuperate with peace of mind, and I can accompany the old lady to go out to see the lanterns when I am sick. ”
Sister Yan nodded.
Mrs. He smiled and instructed the housekeeper's mother, "Send the fifth lady back." ”
As he spoke, the subordinate brought a thick Mi Li, and Wan Ning watched the light in Sister Yan's eyes suddenly disappear, as if a bunch of fireworks were extinguished in an instant.
Sister Yan couldn't help but say, "Grandmother, I'll sit for a while and leave." ”
I didn't feel comfortable, but I still resisted to go back to that dark room.
Old Lady He looked at Wan Ning, and Wan Ning's heart softened and she had to nod, "I'll send Sister Yan back in a while." ”
Sister Yan immediately burst into laughter.
said that she was staying to speak, and soon Sister Yan was exhausted. A small section of wrist hair, which was exposed, stood on end, and I couldn't help but shiver.
Old Mrs. He was suddenly a little nervous when she saw it.
Sister Yan's illness is a good person when she doesn't have an attack. When she is very sick, she doesn't hesitate, no matter how she persuades her, she doesn't listen to it, it's like being sneaky, there have been such rumors in the family for a long time, and she has suppressed it every time, and it is rare that Miss Yao Qi also said that she was sick.
After talking for a while, Wan Ning sent Sister Yan back to the house.
The small room was blocked by heavy curtains.
Wan Ning instructed her subordinates to tear the curtain open. "You don't have to block it so tightly when it's cloudy."
The servant answered.
Sister Yan sat on the kang with a somewhat anxious expression, and Wan Ning glanced at Mother Tong. Mother Tong withdrew with someone, and the room was quiet again, and Sister Yan exhaled softly for a while, and then looked at Wanning embarrassedly. "Sister Yao Qi rarely sees me sick like this! Always rely on your body and don't leave. It's been a while......"
Sister Yan said and looked out the window, everyone else went out when the sun was shining, but she couldn't look out until the weather was gloomy, she had already heard people talk about it, she was not a monster.
Seeing Sister Yan frowning, Wan Ning saw the books on the table, "I've read a lot of books these days. As he spoke, he took out a deck of flower cards from the side and played with Sister Yan while talking.
Mrs. He said that Sister Yan likes to read. Since he got sick, he likes to watch it even more, and the He family specially bought a subordinate who can read and write to serve Sister Yan. Every day, I read all kinds of books to Sister Yan.
Sister Yan said: "Read more, the more things you know, and it is not in vain to come to this world for a while, you can't just ...... without understanding anything."
There is no suitable medicine for porphyria, and it stands to reason that the symptoms should become milder with age, but it also varies from person to person, and I don't know how much better Sister Yan's illness can be.
Wan Ning smiled and said, "I think so too, so I'll read more local chronicles and get you a few copies another day." ”
Sister Yan immediately laughed, "My sister always says, it's good to look at what those miscellaneous things do, or Sister Yao Qi understands my thoughts." ”
Sister Yan sat for a while and began to shrink her feet, and Wan Ning knew that she was afraid of the cold, so she pushed the stove over.
Sister Yan is the age when she loves to talk, but she always gets sick on weekdays, and there are few people around her who are willing to be close to her, but now that she sees Wanning, she chirps endlessly, and the sweat on her forehead is layer after layer, Wanning wants to get up and pour tea for her, Sister Yan gets excited, stretches out her hand and pulls Wanning's sleeve, begging, "Sister Yao Qi, sit down for a while and go." ”
Wan Ning said: "I'm not leaving, I'm thirsty, and I want to eat tea." ”
The two of them sat for a while, Wan Ning picked up the book that Sister Yan was reading and flipped through it, there were many small characters on the book, and the poems worthy of annotation were written on it, "This is Sister Yan's words?" ”
Sister Yan is young, and it is not easy to write such words.
Sister Yan shook her head, "Where will I be...... It's the clan sister's, my clan sister heard that she is very beautiful and knows how to read and write, how many women in the family are not as good as her, I heard my grandmother say a word, and I was very envious, so I could only take the clan sister's book to read. ”
Wan Ning listened to what Sister Yan said, "You haven't seen that clan sister?" ”
Sister Yan shook her head, "I haven't seen it, and I don't let it be mentioned casually at home." He made a silent gesture as he spoke.
What happened to this clan sister in Sister Yan's mouth? Otherwise, how could you be instructed not to mention it casually.
Wan Ning has no habit of snooping on other people's secrets, and since Sister Yan can't say it, she won't ask anymore.
Coming out of Sister Yan's house, Second Mrs. He came to greet Wanning, "The old lady said, Miss Seven can't leave today." ”
While the two of them were talking, the subordinate walked over quickly and saluted the second Mrs. He, "Second wife, the second master has returned from the suburbs of Beijing. ”
Unexpectedly, the old man came over at this time, and Mrs. He was surprised and delighted, "How do you say this, you won't let people send a letter in advance." ”
As soon as Second Mrs. He's words fell, another steward entered the door, "Imperial Doctor Wu from the Tai Hospital also came, and followed the second master to the study." ”
Seeing the He family coming and going.
Wan Ning said goodbye with a smile, "Sister Yan's illness has improved a lot, I'll come back another day." ”
Second Mrs. He didn't want to stay Wanning anymore, and sent Wanning all the way to the Hanging Flower Gate.
Seeing the Yao family's carriage leaving, Second Mrs. He went to the old lady's room to wait for the master, and after half an hour, Second Master He entered the door with a tired face.
Mrs. He hurriedly asked, "What is Doctor Wu looking for you?" ”
Second Master He's face was calm, and he paused before saying, "Imperial Doctor Wu came to ask me to discuss the prescription for suppressing children's shocks. ”
Imperial Physician Wu was to diagnose the pulse of the eldest prince.
Could it be that the eldest prince was frightened?
Second Master He didn't continue to speak, but thought about the original intention of coming to Beijing this time, his mother was worried that Jing Yu and Sister Yan would have to come and go anyway, not to mention that the attentive Jiang family came back from the northwest, and his mother wanted to meet in Beijing together to discuss the future of Jing Yu and Sister Yan's two children.
Now that Sister Yan's illness is improving, they are ready to return to Yangzhou after the year, there are too many dignitaries in Beijing, and my father said when he was there that it is not easy to mix with the affairs of the court, and let the children of the He family not covet the official position and go to the Tai Hospital.
But in the current situation, how does he feel that many things are slowly going to be separated from their early arrangement, he has a bad premonition, and he always feels that the He family will be involved in something.
It was as if someone had secretly arranged for them to enter Beijing.
……
Wan Ning just got out of the carriage, and Luo Yu stepped forward and said, "The Cui family has come to deliver a happy tent and is sitting in the flower hall." ”
Wan Ning changed her clothes and went to the flower hall.
Zhang accompanied the Cui family's daughters to talk.
The lady smiled and said: "The dowry is almost complete, there are only a few important items, which are being purchased, this marriage is in a hurry, and the family does not dare to be sloppy, and the top and bottom must be fully explained." ”
Zhang nodded, and was about to speak when he saw Wanning who walked into the house.
The Cui family's daughters smiled even more, "I heard that Miss Seven went to see Miss Jiang's family, and I thought I wouldn't see it today." ”
Wan Ning stepped forward and saluted.
The daughter of the Cui family said: "Kind and beautiful, no wonder our sister-in-law likes it very much, and is looking forward to the Ministry of Rites to set a good day." ”
As soon as the Cui family's daughter's voice fell, Ru's mother stepped into the door and saluted the Cui family's daughter with a smile, "Another dowry gift is here, and the gift list is for my wife to see." ”
Ru's mother handed the gift list sent by the Cui family to Zhang.
The daughter of the Cui family couldn't help but be a little surprised and embarrassed, "Look, I just said that the dowry should wait, who knew that my sister-in-law was in a hurry again, and she couldn't say that she would send the rest of the dowry." ”
looked at the gift slip in Zhang's hand.
Wan Ning suddenly felt strange, these days the Cui family has already sent a dowry, more than a hundred boxes of things, basically complete, the so-called remaining boxes are nothing more than Cui Yiting and her clothes sent, and then there is the reward in the palace.
These gifts are all in order, and it is absolutely impossible to send a few boxes today and a few boxes tomorrow.
The Cui family is a big family, and every time they act carefully, they will not make the slightest mistake, and the Cui family's aunt has a different face now, obviously she didn't know about it before......
Seeing that Zhang was about to open the gift list.
Wan Ning stood up, "Mother is sick these days, so it's not good to worry about this, so let the steward take it down and copy it as usual." ”
Zhang looked at Wan Ning.
Wan Ning's eyes flickered, and there was a bit of disdain in her translucent eyes, which seemed to mean that she was afraid that she would swallow the dowry privately.
Zhang sneered in his heart, stretched out his hand and put the gift slip into the steward's hand, since Yao Wanning wanted to see it, let her see enough.
After speaking, the Cui family's aunt stood up to say goodbye, and as soon as she walked out of Zhang's yard, she saw someone moving boxes of things in, and the rosewood boxes of Yishui looked particularly eye-catching.
The person who moved the box was also very strange, with a strong appearance, and did not look like an ordinary family member.
"Where did this come from?" The Cui family's aunt couldn't help but ask.
The person who moved the box immediately stood up straight and said, "It was sent by Second Master Cui, the thing arrived at the dart game yesterday, and today we sent it to Yao's house, just saying that it was a gift sent over." ”
Cui Yiting is now far away from Beijing, how can he let people send these things.
The Cui family's aunt was also stunned, but soon said with a smile: "It must be my nephew who is not at ease, so he sent someone to send another object." "Cui Er has always been unruly in his work, and who knows what he thinks.
Wan Ning looked at the boxes.
It can't be Cui Yiting.
Even if Cui Yiting wants to send something, he will inform her in advance.
