Chapter 2: Please let me die
Mama Liu bypassed the winding verandah and walked from the Zhiyun Courtyard where Mrs. Qiu lived to the Splendid Courtyard. When she passed through the corner gate of the Splendid Courtyard, two more servants immediately came forward, patted Mama Liu's dress, dusted off the dust that might not exist, and then took a few steps back and greeted her with a smile.
"Mama Liu has just come back, and Madame has been waiting for you for a while."
Mama Liu nodded slightly to show her gratitude, stood under the porch and typed out the words she wanted to tell in her abdomen, before she opened the curtain and entered the main room.
"Ma'am."
The clinical kang in the main room of the Jinxiu Hospital is covered with a scarlet velvet carpet, with a phoenix backrest with red gold thread, and a pair of peach-style luodian lacquer tables are placed on both sides of the kang. A woman in a peony-patterned skirt with gold buttons is leaning on the backrest, with a stone blue and gold threaded phoenix pillow. At her feet was a futon, on which kneeling was a girl who was gently knocking the noblewoman's leg with a beauty fist.
The woman had a beautiful face, looked to be less than thirty years old, and there was a gentle aura all around her, and she spoke unhurriedly.
"What about the old lady? Maybe got up? ”
"If you go back to Mrs. Hui, the slave maid didn't see Mrs. Tai this time......"
"What? The old lady is not in good health? The woman on the kang straightened up, and her face was full of worry.
"As before, Mrs. Tai said that she was dizzy when she saw a figure and didn't want to see anyone. But seeing the appearance of the upper and lower levels in the Zhiyun Courtyard, Mrs. Tai should be fine. The woman on the kang breathed a sigh of relief.
"But......" Mama Liu paused and said, "Mrs. Tai doesn't seem to have the intention of defending Young Master Rui." ”
The Duchess of Xinguo, Fang's face turned pale.
"The old lady didn't intercede for Rui'er?"
"No, Mrs. Tai sent Xiangyun out to pass the word, saying that 'don't teach too much, otherwise I will say that I will not be able to forgive', and did not say how to deal with Young Master Rui, it seems that Mrs. Tai's anger has not subsided."
"My son! He's still a child, how can he be whipped in the house! I also specially pressed the front, and asked the old lady to let me go and intercede with the old lady, why is the old lady so ruthless......" Fang took out the handkerchief on his arm and wiped his tears.
The slave felt that it was impossible to gently uncover it this time like last time. Mrs. Tai has a fate, and this time she fainted for two days and two nights, and even the palace sent someone to ask. If there is no movement in the public mansion at all, you will not be able to run away if you are 'not strict in governing the government'. What's more, madam, your maiden family is ......"
"I see." Fang wiped his tears, a helpless look on his face. "Don't trouble my father."
"Madame, don't be too sad. The whole family is presided over by his wife. The maid who was waiting beside Fang changed the handkerchief in Fang's hand and raised her head to comfort.
"Although Rui'er is not a piece of meat that fell from my body, I think he is no different from Ming'er. Now that Rui'er has caused such a catastrophe, I have no way to discipline him, how can I not blame myself. Fang sighed and said, "How could such a thing happen, even the old lady was angry, it must have been instigated by those little guys, and they were all driven out of the house when they turned around!" ”
Mama Liu didn't say a word, just stood there with her head down.
With this wave, there have been four waves of small guys. As soon as the sons of the house heard that they were going to recruit a little boy for Young Master Rui, they all wanted to break their son's leg.
"Alright, you go on an errand." Fang closed his eyes, "Mama Liu, tell which kid to go to the front and convey Mrs. Tai's words to the master, be sure to let the master watch it, don't let those family members take a heavy hit!" ”
"Yes."
In the ancestral worship hall, Xin Guogong listened to the words of Mrs. Tai and the Fang family, and finally did not make a ruthless move, but just whipped it lightly with a whip in front of everyone. Even the onlookers and other subordinates whispered in private, saying that Master Guogong was soft-hearted, and he should teach a good lesson to a gentleman like Young Master Rui.
In contrast, although Li Ming, the son of Xinguo Gong and Fang, was only seven years old, he was much more generous than his eldest grandson, Li Rui. I heard that I am already reading the "Four Books".
Everyone sighed in their hearts when they saw that Li Rui, who was obviously just scratching a little skin and was not seriously injured at all, but still crying and crying wolf, was carried back by his subordinates.
This young man still invited Hongru to enlighten himself, why is it so bad?
"Mrs. Tai, you can eat a little." The smoke clouds covered the porcelain bowl with shredded chicken porridge, and pleaded continuously. "You're still relatively weak, and the doctor told you not to eat anything too greasy. This porridge looks a little lighter, but the taste is not light at all, so how many bites can you eat? ”
Gu Qing turned his face to the bed and said nothing.
She decided to die on a hunger strike.
This little girl named Yanyun has been begging for more than an hour, and the bowl containing the shredded chicken porridge has been changed several times. She felt that "peerless death" was really torturous for her, and she was hungry for three meals, her stomach was already rumbling, and her stomach was burning. But she had to close her eyes, pretending not to smell the delicious smell of the chicken soup.
How did those warriors who died on hunger strike endure it in the first place?
She wanted to choose other ways to die, not to mention the question of whether she dared or not, surrounded by so many servants and maids, and even the toilet was stared at, and she had no way to find death.
Who said that the tails of golden hairpins are all pointed! She's changed several of them, all of them with round heads!
The maid named Xiangyun hadn't seen it since just now. Maybe it was to go to the front yard to move the rescuers? Thinking that her "son" and "daughter-in-law" would come to cry and beg, she had a big head. Why don't you wear a country woman or something? If you want to die, just find a wild tree and hang it on it.
The body she wore had an amazing identity, and it was actually Qiu, the founding meritorious service of the Chu State and the wife of Li Shuo, the old prince of the country. Her husband and eldest son Li Meng died, and it was her second son Li Mao who inherited the title of "Duke of Xinguo". Li Mao and his wife usually treat this old lady Qiu with all their hearts and minds, and they are obedient, lest there be any carelessness. If she hadn't excused herself by saying that she didn't want to see anyone because she had a headache, her "daughter-in-law" would have come to say hello every morning.
When I first wore it, I saw a woman older than myself standing in front of the bed and calling herself "Mother", and she was almost scared and fainted, okay?
"Mrs. Tai, the lord and the lady have passed through the second gate, and they will arrive soon." Grandma Sun spread the word in the yard.
'I just want to die, if it's so difficult!' Gu Qing stuffed his head into the quilt with grief and indignation.
"Mother, is there something wrong with your son that makes you angry?" Xin Guogong, who looked like a beautiful uncle, personally held the bowl and knelt in front of Gu Qing's bed. "You can beat me and scold me, please don't torture yourself like this!"
Gu Qing couldn't wait to cover his ears. This uncle is too verbose, and it's just those few sentences over and over again.
With such eloquence, how can he be an official outside?
"Mother, do you think that the master did not have a heavy responsibility, so he was angry?" Fang also knelt at the head of Gu Qing's bed, sobbing and said, "It's because I didn't raise a good sharp child, if you don't feel angry, just hit me, don't be angry." ”
Gu Qing frowned. Why does that sound so wrong? It sounded like he blamed himself for not disciplining the child well, but after listening to it, it was like persuading the uncle next to him to go back and beat the child again.
Sure enough, Li Mao, the Duke of Xinguo, lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Mother, it's not that I refuse to punish Li Rui. You also know that Rui'er is my eldest brother's only remaining bloodline, and I am usually afraid of a mistake. He's young and frail, so he really wants to ......."
Gu Qing couldn't listen to it anymore, and if she didn't speak, she would become a wicked person who was angry with children!
She turned her head and stared at Fang Clan, who was kneeling underneath.
It looks very gentle and amiable, why is it so uncomfortable to speak?
"Who said that Li Rui should be blamed heavily?"
"Mother!" Li Mao and Fang looked at Old Taijun Qiu in surprise.
"Then why don't you eat?" Li Mao put the bowl in his hand on the small table next to Old Taijun Qiu's bed. "If that's not your thing, we'll call the kitchen a rework!"
"Master, the imperial doctor has said that my mother can't eat those greasy fat meat anymore!"
"But my mother is good for this, no matter how much it is better than not eating......"
Gu Qing listened to it next to him, and his brain hurt.
Isn't this old lady Qiu the lady of the first product? Xin Guogong also looks like a big family, how can he like to eat fatty meat? Fatty!
She knew why this old lady had a stroke. Dare to love blood vessel blockage caused by hyperlipidemia!
Gu Qing watched Li Mao and Fang Shi crying and begging for themselves to eat, feeling that the thin air in the tent had been snatched away by these two people, she covered her chest angrily, and she didn't come up in one breath.
It's not pretending, it's really boring. The darkness kept coming and going. Is this high blood pressure?
Old Mrs. Qiu, how sick are you?
However, it would be nice if you could hold it back like this.
Unexpectedly, the Fang clan rushed forward and pinched Gu Qing's people. She pinched and shouted, "Come on! Take the master's post and ask the doctor to come over! What about menthol, smoke clouds, take out the menthol in the room and wipe it a little for the old lady! ”
Gu Qing was pinched under his nose and it hurt so badly that he was about to faint, but he was pressed to maintain a trace of clarity. Seeing that her opportunity to "seek death" was ruined by this beautiful woman, Gu Qing couldn't wait to beat her up.
Li Mao hugged Mrs. Qiu, and Fang and Mama Hua blew on her, smeared menthol, and pinched the tiger's mouth and people, which really eased Gu Qing's breath.
Gu Qing patted his chest, wanting to cry without tears.
Damn! My lips are broken!! Now there's one more place that hurts!
Why is it so hard to want to die!
