Chapter 133: Something Really Happened
Su Xue thought for a while, and said slowly: "The sixth miss was busy embroidering her grandmother's forehead early in the morning, the second miss is learning to tie the hair, and she must also make a stroke for her grandmother, and the fourth miss has been drawing in the house these days, and it seems that she also wants to make grandmother smile......"
It turned out that everyone had been preparing early, and only her side was slow to react.
I can't blame Qianrou and Miaomeng for not reminding them in time, I think this host didn't take these things to heart at all in the past, let alone a gift, it can be regarded as a good example if it doesn't annoy the old lady.
She groaned, and suddenly asked, "By the way, you go to Steward Li to ask, how is the matter of going back to Li Yuan's judgment to find ginseng?" ”
When Miao Meng heard this, she pouted and said, "Speaking of this, the second master is still angry." Li Yuan's judgment is not in Beijing at all, Steward Li has been to several trips to no avail, and this is nearly a year old, what good things are taken from the Tai Hospital to flatter the royal relatives and palace concubines in the palace, where can there be good things left? ”
Su Xue lowered her head and pondered for a while, as if she remembered something, and commanded slowly: "Miaomeng, you often go out of the house, and you are familiar with the purchase of items, are there some famous jewelry shops near the west of the city?" ”
Miaomeng blinked at the sky, thought for a while, and said: "There is a new jewelry shop in the west of the city, but I heard people in the west of the city say that the jewelry in this shop is ridiculously expensive, how can ordinary people afford it?" Said that sooner or later the shop would have to close. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's expensive, it's important to have good goods." Su Xue said as she asked Qianrou to go to the small drawer to get the silver ticket.
Miao Meng nodded: "The ornaments inside are naturally good." I heard that the shopkeeper was originally doing business in Beijing, but I don't know which official he offended, and he was squeezed out and closed. That's why I hurriedly moved to Jizhou. In other words, this shopkeeper is really wealthy. Bought the store of the brewery with a lot of money. It was pounding, but it didn't fulfill the wishes of those women, and the door was closed. “
Su Xue was slightly startled when she heard this, and asked, "You just said it...... Josai Brewery? ”
"That's right, Hong Ye from the Chengxi Brewery has long wanted to go back to his hometown to hold his grandson, and when he sees someone who is willing to make a move, he is still so generous, so he is naturally happy."
Su Xue remembers this brewery in the west of the city. Because it's not far from Zhang's Medical Center.
Miao Meng also wanted to say that the reason why Hong Ye was in such a hurry to sell the shop was also related to the Zhang's Medical Hall next to it.
Last time, when Xuemei's incident happened, someone went to the door of Zhang's medical hall to scold him at the end of three days, but who is Dr. Zhang, how can he be afraid of this? The voice of the person who came to make trouble was loud, and Dr. Zhang's voice was even louder.
In the end, the brewery next to it was closed.
Miao Meng just thought about this in her heart, and didn't dare to tell Su Xue, after all, the matter of Xuemei last time also made the people in the house panic. It's just that the people outside are gossiping, as people from the house. It's best not to mention it again.
Su Xue didn't know about that, she just thought that the jewelry shop was close to Zhang's Medical Center, so it happened to be a stop......
After thinking for a while, Su Xue beckoned Miaomeng to come forward, handed a few silver tickets to Miaomeng, and put them in her ear to give a few words.
Miaomeng's eyes widened slightly after hearing this, but she lowered her head and answered yes, and hurriedly went out with the silver ticket.
Qianrou was busy taking the newly sent clothes and jewelry for Su Xue to try on.
"The clothes that were sent to the ladies were all according to the size, but for some reason, this one seems to be a little more generous this year." Qianrou frowned and whispered while straightening the aqua blue butterfly and wearing a long gown with a floral embroidered gold-rimmed satin collar.
"It's okay, a little more relaxed is a little less restrained." Su Xue only said lightly.
Su Xue is already very satisfied with this, you know, in the past, in the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, the one-size-fits-all white coat was willing to put on her body, and now she can wear such exquisite clothes, how can she have any complaints?
Qianrou also bent her lips and smiled: "It's true, Miss doesn't like to tie up clothes the most, but this time she has to wear them to the family banquet, how can Mother Qin be so sloppy?" ”
Su Xue was even more relieved when she heard Mother Qin's three words.
Thinking of her words before, the second wife lost face in front of the old lady, although the second wife was still kind to her on the surface, but in her heart, I was afraid that she hated her even more. It's just that he deliberately made it bigger, and didn't quench the poison on this garment, which is a great mercy.
Thinking of this, Su Xue collected the hem of her clothes and said lightly: "I heard that my mother likes the crispy crispy pineapple filling, so I will go to the kitchen and tell me later, and I will go to greet my mother tomorrow morning, and bring two boxes by the way." ”
Qianrou lowered her head and answered yes.
Early the next morning, the maids and ladies who came and went in the house were extremely busy, one was busy pasting window flowers and hanging lanterns, and the other was in a hurry to prepare for the family banquet in the house.
Su Xue wore a slightly wide sleeved jacket and long gown, and Qianrou held a box of pineapple candied fruit in her hand and went to the second wife's room to say goodbye.
She thought she had come early enough, but unexpectedly, the fourth lady Jingxuan was one step ahead of her, and as soon as she walked to the curtain, Jingxuan suddenly burst out.
"Fourth sister early." Su Xue said softly, glanced at the curtain again, and asked, "Mother is inside?" ”
Jingxuan glanced at Su Xue coldly, and did not answer, but turned her head and whispered to Ying Xia: "Now the house is busy and chaotic, maybe you will need manpower later, you can't go out of the house at this time, so go to the pharmacy first and ask if you can get some medicine." ”
Su Xue was slightly startled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Take the medicine?" Is my mother unwell? ”
Jingxuan's eyelids lifted, she glared at Su Xue impatiently, and said coldly: "If you have a grandmother waiting for you to please you, you don't need to pretend to be here." ”
After speaking, he urged Yingxia to hurry up.
When Qianrou heard Jingxuan's words, she couldn't help but say, "How can the fourth young lady say this? The third lady brought the freshly made pineapple candied fruit to the second lady to say goodbye, why is it fake? ”
Jingxuan glanced at the small box that Su Xue was holding in her hand, and also felt that Fang Cai's words were a little unreasonable, but she was not reconciled, glanced at the small box, pointed to the side and said: "The filial piety of the third sister should be put on the table, and my mother is still lying down, so it is inconvenient to get up and receive the gift." ”
Qianrou frowned slightly and looked at Su Xue, thinking that the fourth lady was too domineering, and the third lady wanted to say hello to the second wife. Why is it the turn of the fourth lady to point fingers? Look at that stance. It seems that she does not nod. I won't let people in.
The third miss is the sister-in-law of the fourth miss, how can there be such a reason?
Su Xue was not annoyed at all, but suddenly stepped forward quickly, and said anxiously: "Is my mother really unwell?" ”
Seeing that Su Xue was going inside, Jingxuan hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, and said hurriedly: "Mother said not to let people in, third sister, don't be rude!" ”
Jingxuan almost completely blocked in front of Su Xue, and Su Xue had to stop.
Just looked at Jingxuan's nervous look. She was even more sure that something had really happened to the second wife.
"You and I are both mother's daughters, you can go in, why can't I go in......" Su Xue said softly, her eyes always looking into the curtain, with a little grievance.
Jingxuan twitched the corners of her mouth, but she didn't say anything, she was really self-inflicted, who treated you as a daughter?
But seeing that Su Xue is not as domineering and deceitful as before, and it seems that she is still very nervous about the second wife. Jingxuan didn't speak ill of each other anymore, but only said lightly: "Mother will be fine after a while." Today's house is busy, the third sister will go back to the house to prepare first, and she will see her mother at the family banquet in the evening. ”
Su Xue's expression was a little gloomy at this time, she nodded, turned around and told Qianrou to put the box on the small pestle and prepare to leave.
Yu Guang quickly glanced at the Nabo ancient shelf in the room, where the box containing the wild ginseng brocade box had been placed before, and it was empty.
Su Xue secretly glanced into the curtain again.
It wasn't until Su Xue walked away that the second wife's voice came from inside: "Jingxuan, why haven't you brought the medicine yet?" ”
The second wife's voice was very impatient.
Jingxuan was still puzzled by Fang Cai Suxue's attitude, and felt that the three sisters seemed to be much gentler than before, which made her a little unaccustomed.
Hearing the second wife's shout, she lifted the curtain and walked in quickly, wringed out the towel in the copper basin, and helped Qin's mother wipe the arms and neck of the second wife.
"Mother is still itching?"
Jingxuan asked while wiping, but she didn't dare to look at the second wife carefully.
Because the second wife's face, neck, and arms were covered with red rashes, which were densely packed, and she could see that her heart was hairy.
She just wiped it gently, not daring to get too close to the second wife, as if she was afraid that those red rashes would stain her hands.
Thinking like this, the palms and backs of my hands seem to itch a little.
Jingxuan was startled, threw away the handkerchief in her hand and asked, "Mother, this shouldn't be contagious, right?" ”
When Mother Qin heard this, she also shook violently and threw away the handkerchief in her hand.
The second wife was already itchy and upset, but when she saw Jingxuan and Qin's mother looking at her with fear, she was immediately annoyed, and waved her arm violently, and scolded: "One by one, there are heartless things!" I've only had a few rashes, and I'm afraid of being like that? ”
Mother Qin was startled, and even said, "The old slave doesn't dare, the old slave doesn't dare!" The old slave was just thinking, how did this rash grow, and how did it grow more and more when he rubbed it? ”
"Growing a lot more? Where, where! The second lady scratched in panic, her expression distorted.
Mother Qin pointed at the neck of the second wife in fear, and said timidly: "The second wife, don't catch it soon, the more you grab it, the more ......."
The second wife roared and became even more manic.
Jingxuan frowned and took half a step back, bit her lip and thought for a while, and said, "Mother Qin, think about it, what unclean things has my mother eaten these days?" Or maybe the bedding has worms......"
"The second wife's bedding is changed every half a month, how can there be worms? Fourth Miss, don't talk about those who come to scare the old slave......"
Although Mother Qin denied Jingxuan's speculation, her timid tone seemed to be saying that she also felt so.
The second wife was itching and about to collapse, scratching her clothes and hair scattered, and with a dance of her hand, she knocked over the copper basin next to the bed, and sprinkled warm water all over the ground.
Seeing that there was finally something else to do, Mother Qin hurriedly squatted down to clean up.
She really didn't dare to approach the second wife again, the red rash was really scary to look at, if she was infected, she would be offended.
Jingxuan didn't dare to get too close, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly exclaimed, "Could it be ...... Did you drink that ginseng tea last time? ”
When the second wife heard this, her eyes froze, and she was stunned for a long time, and suddenly scolded with hatred: "What Laoshzi ginseng tea!" It's really a poison that kills people! ”
Jingxuan also said indignantly: "This ginseng was brought by Jiang Suxue, she must have done something inside to harm her mother!" I'm going to find her theory! ”
The second wife was stunned, her eyes quickly waved, and she called out to Jingxuan: "Slow, you must not go!" ”
The second old man was worried about looking for ginseng for the old lady, and she suddenly made a fuss at this juncture, wouldn't everyone in the house know that she had ginseng in her hand? (To be continued......)
