Chapter 041: Conspiracy
It's a good thing to be angry, and the year has to pass first.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, as soon as the time comes, it is counted as the first day of the first month.
This began to "receive God", and until then the lights were not allowed to be turned off at night.
Xie Yuanmao personally led people to walk more than 100 steps in the direction of the God of Joy and Wealth, burned incense and bowed, and then let people pick up the lamp to lead the way, and kept the god in the home.
At the same time, the same is true for long and second rooms.
On this night, the lights were bright, and the sky above Kyoto was as bright as day.
Xie Shuning is young and a daughter, so she doesn't have to keep the year, so she was sent back by the Song family early to rest. But she couldn't sleep, so she simply hugged the puppet Mengmeng and leaned on the head of the bed and sat quietly. First, it was noisy outside, and secondly, she missed Zhen'er very much.
In the past, she held Zhen'er in her arms to keep the New Year, but she never saw her mother and brother.
Now that her mother and brother are fine, she will never see Zhen'er again.
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete......
And after the New Year, the situation became more and more cold.
She looked at her still short body, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said silently: I just hope that God will not treat them so harshly in this life.
There was silence, and the noise outside gradually subsided again, turning into a few sounds. Later, it suddenly became heavier again. Xie Shuning glanced at the sand clock and estimated the hour, the sky should have been bright. It's just that it's always too bright on the outside to be visible.
Lilac came in to groom and dress her, and she lowered her head and couldn't help but think of Jiangnan.
On the first day of the new year, it was supposed to eat lucky oranges.
But this is the Northland.
When she opened the door, Lilac was about to go out, but she pulled her sleeves to stop her. Even though there were people who were waiting early to set off firecrackers three times in front of the court, Lilac was so frightened that she hugged her and stayed away. Xie Shuning couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her with palpitations. When the first door is opened in the year, firecrackers will be lit to ward off mandrills, evil ghosts, and epidemics, which is called opening the door and exploding battles. She already knew all this.
Because the three rooms are not suitable for the home, there are long rooms to do things such as worshipping the family temple, so even if the family is divided, the breakfast on this day is used in the three rooms, which means that the family is safe.
So because of this, the embarrassing situation between the Song family and the Chen family in the third room is not obvious. The wives who are in charge of the house today are the eldest wives, and the two of them are just sitting.
It's such a festive day again, and no one will find bad luck in this stall, so everyone smiles and welcomes people, as if they don't know those bad things at all.
After a while, the banquet was set up, and the next person brought dumplings up. Everyone didn't move their chopsticks first, and their own servants came forward to kowtow and toast. After that, it can be eaten.
Xie Shuning was lucky, and she ate only the golden Ruyi in the first bite. When he saw this, there were servants who praised all the best. Xie Shuning squinted his eyes and smiled, and Song also smiled, and immediately let people reward the silver. She was generous, and the servants laughed more and more heartily.
Only Chen, eating dumplings, only feels like chewing wax.
I don't know if it's really her bad luck, or if someone is abusing her.
I ate a few, but I didn't even eat one with a good meaning.
Don't say that she was annoyed, but the maid who was waiting behind saw it, and she was also shocked and scared. It stands to reason that this is just an auspicious meal, and the bowls of the masters are all marked in advance, but Chen's bowl is unexpected.
Chen didn't give up, and bit a few more, and his heart was on fire.
Even dumplings bully her!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't eat this New Year's dinner anymore.
There is one person in the main room, who was originally nine out of ten, but now he seems to only have seven points of certainty.
Of the seven points, she herself accounted for three points, and the other four points still depended on the three old ladies. Chen secretly thought about it and thought about it, and reluctantly held back the resentment and grievances after being reprimanded by the three old ladies for several days. In addition, she was very busy these days, and saw that although Xie Yuanmao moved out of Zhilanzhai and went to the outer study after listening to the words of the third old lady, she still often turned back to see Song's mother and son on weekdays, and she couldn't help but feel more and more angry.
She then remembered that Xie Shuning had been ill before, and Xie Yuanmao hurriedly threw away the book in his hand and rushed to Zhilanzhai, envious, just thinking that this was Song's method.
Looking back and thinking about it, people have children, and she is not nothing!
Although Xie Chen is only an heir, he can be regarded as Xie Yuanmao's son, if he is sick and injured, can Xie Yuanmao still sit idly by?
In the past few days of the New Year, she took a breath of rest, and privately called Huang's mother, who was waiting by Xie Chen's side, and instructed with a smile: "Wait until the fourth young master is asleep at night, remember to put out the brazier and open the window again." ”
"What does Mrs. mean ......" Huang's mother only felt her eyelids jump, and asked softly with a little trepidation, but she only said half of the words, and some words were difficult to say clearly after all.
But that's enough.
Chen Shiyan didn't understand, she still looked like she was smiling, her white fingers lightly tapped on the edge of the table, and said, "What can I mean." It's just that Imperial Doctor Hang said that in winter, the doors and windows are closed, and the brazier is lit, even if it is placed in a ventilated place, it is harmful to people's bodies. You have served that child for many years, and you don't know that he is afraid of the heat? ”
Huang's mother was speechless.
"Mother Huang." Chen suddenly changed his words and called her.
"The slave is here." Huang's mother suddenly came back to her senses and was busy bowing.
The smile at the corner of Chen's mouth became clearer, the water in his eyes flowed, and he was lined with the fox fur jacket with a big red face on his body, and his smile was like a spring breeze, "I heard that your son's health has not been very good recently?" ”
Huang's mother vaguely understood what she wanted to do, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Please also ask Mrs. to make it clear." ”
"Your son's illness is a disease of wealth, it is not a big deal, just take care of it." Chen shook his head slightly, and Hua Sheng clanged in his hair, "As long as you take care of the Fourth Young Master, I will keep your son safe." Silver, medicinal herbs, you just open your mouth. ”
When it came to the word care, her usual soft voice suddenly became heavier, which made Huang's mother kowtow again and again, and said gratefully: "Slave and maid, thank Mrs. for your grace!" ”
The smile on Chen's face gradually faded.
She was never a laugher.
Since she left home since she was a child, she was raised by the side of her aunt who was moody, and until she was old enough to be a widow with a tablet, how could she still laugh?
When Huang's mother stepped back, Chen leaned back lazily, stretched out his smooth fingers and rubbed his frozen face, and sighed almost inaudibly.
Early the next morning, Xie Chen coughed, his face turned red, and gradually became a rapid wheezing, almost holding his breath.
The third room of the Xie family was naturally turned on his back, and he went to the long room to invite Doctor Hang, but Doctor Hang, who was originally scheduled to return today, was stopped by the wind and snow and has not yet rushed back! In this case, things are a little bit worse. It also coincided with the New Year's Festival, and the doctor was also going to celebrate the New Year, and many medicine halls were not opened.
Finally, I invited a doctor who was in his thirties from outside.
As soon as he saw Xie Chen's appearance, he said sharply: "It's bad!" ”
