Chapter 2: Greasy
Just then, there was another rush of footsteps outside, and the curtain was lifted.
A delicate maid wearing a dark green satin jacket and a stone blue cotton skirt walked in and hurriedly saluted, and said hurriedly: "Mama Zhu, the carriage of the third lady has arrived at the gate, and the eldest lady is arranging for someone to go to the second gate to greet her. In addition, check whether the bedding mat is damp, and if it can't be used, replace it as soon as possible. โ
Mama Zhu was originally sitting on the small pestle in front of the kang, and when she heard the young maid speak, she had already jumped up in a panic, and even the little pestle was brought by her movements, and made a muffled sound: "What? How could it be so fast? Didn't you say it would arrive in the evening? It was just after noon. โ
"Gee, what are you still asking about these for? The horizontal and vertical people are almost here, so you should hurry. With that, he turned around and hurried away.
Mama Zhu hurriedly walked around the room twice, and finally stomped her feet and turned her head to explain to Ren Yaoqi: "The slave maid went down to arrange first." โ
Mama Zhu lifted the curtain and left, and the room was instantly quiet.
Ren Yaoqi turned his head to look out the window, his eyes were as clear as water.
Probably because of the snow, I could only see a gray patch outside through the thick cellophane, although it was just after noon, but it looked like it was just dawn.
Ren Yaoqi sat quietly on the kang, waiting for the movement outside, and when her mother came back, she would go to the old lady's yard to say hello first, and then she could go back to Ziwei Courtyard.
The two little maids who were sent away by Mama Zhu came back at this time.
"Sydney, do you see that? The guard brothers in Yanbei Wangfu are really tall and brave, more majestic than the guards in our outer courtyard, but unfortunately they all have a straight face, and even the cold dew next to the fourth miss didn't make them raise their eyes when they walked in front of them. โ
"Ah, when I went, the people from Yanbei Wangfu had already left. Have you ever seen the old princess? I heard that she is the daughter of the former emperor and is a princess. โ
"How could the princess come into our house for no reason? She just sent someone to send the third wife and the third lady into the mansion. But no matter how noble this woman is, she won't give birth to a son, and everything is in vain, even if she is a princess, she has to make way for other women. โ
"This ...... The emperor's daughter is always different, right? โ
"What's the difference? The current King of Yanbei did not crawl out of the belly of this princess, but the son of Mrs. Yuntai. If the princess can't give birth to a son, it's the same as God doesn't rain and the head of the house is unreasonable, what can be done? โ
"There's some truth to that. Let's not talk about this, otherwise Mama Zhu will come in and scold again. โ
"Don't worry, I saw Mama Zhu leading people to clean the main room before, where is the time to take care of us? Besides, Mama Zhu is just a reprimand, if it is in the hands of Mama Zhou next to the third wife, it will really be over. โ
"Ah, now that the third wife is back, doesn't this Ziwei Courtyard still have to be decided by Mama Zhou? Then we ......"
"Wouldn't it? We are not the third wife's people, and we and Mama Zhu were both given to the fifth miss by Aunt Fang. โ
"But ......"
"Shhhh
There was a sudden silence outside, and the sound of noisy footsteps suddenly sounded in the otherwise quiet garden. Ren Yaoqi sat up straight and watched a figure walk by outside the window, as if he was heading in the direction of the main room.
"The third lady and the third lady went to the old lady, and they will return to the crape myrtle courtyard in less than half an hour.
But Ren Yao waited for a long time, and no one came back, but there was a back and forth talk outside, and the sound of moving things was still noisy.
Ren Yao's previous medicine had calming drugs in it, but later he couldn't support it and fell asleep, but he still had thoughts in his heart, and he woke up again when he was holding the lamp.
She felt someone sitting on the edge of her bed, and she immediately opened her eyes.
A pair of candlesticks had been lit on the table in the center of the room, and they had burned about an inch, and when she opened her eyes, the dim light pierced her eyes a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't help tilting her head.
"Yao Qi, are you awake?" A gentle voice sounded, which made Ren Yaoqi stunned.
The man, as if noticing her discomfort, got up and moved the candlestick to the low table on the west side, and then walked back again.
"Are you feeling better now?"
Ren Yaochi nodded and said to the woman in front of her, "When did my aunt come?" โ
Although there was some backlight, she still knew the woman next to her, she was wearing a light purple embroidered orchid satin fox fur jacket, a white thread skirt, jet-black hair tied into a fallen horse bun, and only a pair of chic golden hairpins.
The pearl earrings swayed gently under her ears, casting a small shadow on the pale side face, and there was a different kind of grace and delicacy to look at.
This is Aunt Fang, a Jiangnan woman. Her words and deeds are always elegant and gentle, like a lady who came out of an ancient painting.
The whole Ren government said that she was not only beautiful, but also had a bodhisattva heart.
There were a few half-sized maids in Ziwei Courtyard who secretly learned Aunt Fang's talk and walk, and were bumped into by the third sister Ren Yaohua, and the third sister ordered Mama Zhou to find someone to use bamboo slices to whip them hard, and the flesh and blood of the calves and insteps were blurred and locked in the firewood room.
Because it was the height of summer, after being locked up for three days, several maids had maggots below their knees.
In the year when her mother and Ren Yaohua went to Zhuangzi, the old lady handed over Ziwei Courtyard and her to Aunt Fang to take care of.
In the impression of the previous life, this Aunt Fang seemed to be obedient to her and took great care of her, and even her own biological daughter, the ninth sister Ren Yaoying, was jealous of her because of this.
"Not long after I arrived, I saw you sweating all over, is it hot?" A slightly cool palm rested on her forehead.
Ren Yaochi didn't move: "Hmm." โ
Aunt Fang sighed lightly: "Why don't you say it's hot?" When you first got sick, you kept shouting cold, and you were shivering with cold after covering three layers of quilts, so I asked people to move you to the kang. Now that you are not afraid of the cold, you should be cured soon. I'll have the bed cleaned up later, so let's sleep in the bed tonight, and it's more spacious. โ
Ren Yaochi nodded.
Aunt Fang looked at her for a while, and then pondered: "Yao Period, your mother and third sister are back, I am afraid that my aunt will not be able to interfere in the affairs of this courtyard in the future, so you will follow your third sister more in the future." She has a high temperament and pleases the elders, if you still wring her everywhere, you will still suffer. As for Madame...... In fact, you can't complain about Mrs., you know when you were born...... In short, Madame, she doesn't value you, after all, you are also her daughter, but the third lady is the eldest daughter, and Madame will inevitably rely on her more. โ
Aunt Fang persuaded softly, her voice was slow, although she spoke northern dialect, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear some southern accents, soft and pleasant.
Ren Yaoqi tried hard to imagine how he would react to these words according to his childhood temper, but his face was silent.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Aunt Fang stretched out her hand to straighten the quilt for her, and said, "When you get better in a few days, let's go see Mrs. and Third Miss." I just probed your forehead and it was still hot, and the lady and the third lady were about to settle down, so you will rest today. I'm going to order someone to change your bed? โ
Mother and third sister have already returned to the yard? Ren Yaochi nodded.
Aunt Fang got up and walked out, and her soft command came from outside the curtain.
After a while, the two maids came in with the futon in their arms, and walked to the shelf bed on the north side and began to make the bed.
The shelf bed hadn't slept in a while, and it was originally a little damp, but fortunately, the earth dragon was burned in the house, and the newly replaced bedding was also dry. Even so, it is still much colder than the hot kang.
The body is hot and sweating first, and then it is cold and sweating, in fact, it is very easy to catch a cold, I don't know if Aunt Lu Daofang knows.
Ren Yaoqi asked the little maid named Qingmei to get a few small hand stoves, put them in the quilt to cover them, and asked them to get a set of dried underwear clothes, and go to the smoker to heat them first.
Qingmei and another maid, Sydney, muttered in a low voice: "At first, it was too hot, and now I am afraid of cold, the fifth and third ladies are really sisters, and they are used to tossing people." โ
"Shhhh......hhhh
Ren Yaochi didn't hear the maids' complaints, and when the bed was hot, she asked the maids to wait for her to change her close-fitting clothes and go to bed.
I have been covered by the small stove for a long time, and the heat on the bed is not much different from the temperature on the kang.
Not long after he lay down, someone came in with a medicine bowl.
"Fifth Miss, it's time to drink the medicine." A young woman's voice whispered.
Ren Yaochi opened her eyes and saw the delicate woman wearing a dark green satin jacket and a stone blue cotton skirt who came to find Mama Zhu before, she was a big girl named Kumquat next to Aunt Fang.
"Didn't you say you had to change the recipe?" Ren Yaoqi was helped by Kumquat to sit at the head of the bed and glanced at the medicine bowl.
Kumquat had a smile on his face: "Take this dose and change it." My aunt originally invited a doctor to come, but she was stopped by Mama Zhou halfway to see the third lady and the third lady. The doctor went to the old lady to reply, but was sent away by the steward. My aunt said that she would go to you tomorrow and ask for a doctor. โ
"Mother, she's sick?"
Hearing this, Kumquat glanced at Ren Yaoqi and said with a smile: "The third lady and the third lady have been on the road for a day, and it is cold and snowy outside, so I think I am worried about the wind and cold." Fifth Miss, the medicine is going to be cold, let's drink it soon? โ
The medicine bowl came to her mouth, and Ren Yaoqi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, this was not the prescription she had taken before.
Although the recipe I ate before was tepid, it was also symptomatic, but this bowl of medicine changed several flavors.
After she left the Ren family, she had read a lot of books with Mr. Pei, not to mention the art of war, the laws and stars, the Buddhist scriptures, and the pharmacopoeia by heart.
All things in the world are mutually reinforcing, herbs are divided into yin and yang, and diseases are divided into cold, heat, dampness and dryness.
To prescribe the right medicine, it is not only necessary to know the meridians, trends, ups and downs, ups and downs of the drugs, and be compatible with each other, but also to know the five elements of the Tao and the harmony of the seven feelings.
On the contrary, they are all taboos for medication.
For example, there was a taste of aconitum in the prescription she originally took, which was a low-grade medicine and poisonous. However, after being made into a finished medicine, it can also be a good medicine if it is properly matched. In addition to aconitum in this bowl of medicine today, there is also a half summer. It is okay to use it separately, but it is a taboo to use it together.
In addition, there are a few herbs that are extremely incompatible, so if she drinks this medicine, although it will not immediately hurt the root of the body, only the similar illness that has already healed will have to be delayed for a few days.
