Chapter 29: Suspicion

As soon as the old lady heard the maid say that Shu Manyao was back, she frowned, similar to this kind of banquet, it won't end so early, right? Moreover, only Shu Manyao came back alone, something is not quite right, right? Thinking about it, the old lady greeted her herself.

"What's going on?" Seeing that Shu Manyao's face was still covered with a veil, the old lady was a little puzzled, stretched out her hand to lift the veil, her face immediately changed, and she turned her head and asked sharply, "Didn't I ask you to take good care of the girl?" ”

Xia Xi knelt down with a puff: "Old lady, at that time, the maids of the Zuo family said that the peony flowers were very precious, and they were unwilling to let the slave and maid and others get close, plus there were a lot of flowers in the flower room, and the smell was mixed together, so the slave and maid did not immediately smell the smell of Poria powder, and the slave and maid were derelict in their duties, and begged the old lady to punish them." ”

Shu Manyao had already passed out in a coma, and at this time, Jinhuan and Jinzhu were supporting people, and the old lady didn't have time to deal with Xia Xi for a while, so she only turned her head and ordered: "I went to invite Dr. Song to come over, and I said that the eldest girl accidentally smelled the smell of Poria powder." You two, quickly help the girl in, dip a towel in warm water, and wipe off the rouge gouache on the girl's face first. ”

A stack of commands, turned around and followed into the house directly, ignoring Xia Xi who was kneeling outside. No matter how good Xia Xi's reason is, as long as something happens to Shu Manyao, she just can't take care of it.

Dr. Song is a commonly used doctor in the Shu family, and he opened a pharmacy on the street in front of him. So, as soon as the little maid passed, she found someone.

"Doctor Song, how is my granddaughter's body? Is there any obstacle to this? The old lady waited for Dr. Song to finish taking the pulse, and immediately asked: "You said last time, if this thing is serious, it can also be fatal, I don't know if my granddaughter sucked it in, you see, what's going on?" Don't worry about your life, right? ”

Doctor Song touched his beard and nodded: "Don't worry, old lady, the eldest girl just smelled that smell, the old man just checked the pulse and made sure that the eldest girl's body is fine, but she was seriously ill before, and her body was a little weak, so she just asked about the taste, and fainted." The old man gave her two stitches, and in half an hour, she would be able to wake up. When the time comes, drink a bowl of medicine and sleep all night. Ming'er will be able to reduce the fever, but the rash on this face ......"

The old lady's heart, which had been put down when she heard that Shu Manyao was fine, instantly brought it up again: "How is her face?" Will it be okay? ”

"Don't worry, old lady, although it is troublesome, it is not incurable." Doctor Song got up as he spoke, and went to the table to write a prescription: "The eldest girl didn't inhale Poria cocos powder, but just smelled it, and the rash on her face will disappear in about two or three days." ”

"It's just that there are more things to pay attention to, you can't see the wind, you can't eat sour and spicy things, you can't eat things with heavy colors......" he said, put down the brush, and handed the recipe to the old lady: "As long as you are careful, there is no big problem." ”

"This ointment, apply it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, wash your face with warm water and a soft cloth, you can't hang up this rash...... "Dr. Song carefully explained: "There is also this medicine, three times a day, a total of seven pairs, during the period of drinking medicine, you can't eat cold things, and you can't use things with these flavors." ”

"I'll definitely pay attention." The old lady nodded again and again, although she didn't know the words on it, she still asked the maid next to her to read it to her, and then sent Jinhuan to follow Doctor Song to grab the medicine in person.

As Dr. Song said, after Shu Manyao was pricked with two stitches, he slept more deeply, and after half an hour, he finally opened his eyes. The old lady had been sitting next to her, and when she saw her eyes open, she quickly grabbed her hand and asked, "Man Yao, what do you think?" ”

Shu Manyao only felt that her face was hot and hot, and it was very itchy, and she raised her hand to grab it twice, but the old lady hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Don't touch it!" Man Yao, don't worry, the doctor said, it will be gone in two or three days, there will be no hindrance, and there will be no scars, don't worry. ”

"Grandmother, is this a rash?" Shu Manyao was stunned for a moment before asking, if it weren't for the rash, why wouldn't grandmother let him touch it?

"Well, it's only a little longer, and it will be haode soon, Doctor Song, you know, his medical skills have always been good, and he said that it can be better in a few days, don't worry." The old lady was busy comforting Shu Manyao: "Grandmother asked people to cook medicine, can you drink the medicine and sleep for a while?" It would be much better to wait for Ming'er to wake up. ”

"Grandmother, where's Xia Xi?" Shu Manyao nodded and asked again. The old lady frowned slightly, Shu Manyao also knew what the old lady meant, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, if it weren't for Xia Xi's quick decision, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out of the gate of Zuofu today, as well as Jingqiu and Uncle Luo, grandmother would have to reward them for me." ”

Although the old lady's face was ugly, she also knew that what Shu Manyao said was the truth, she was a boudoir daughter, and she was able to run from the inner house to the front yard, and Xia Xi was definitely indispensable. Today, Dr. Song said that if his granddaughter's rash is delayed for an hour or two, even if it can be cured, there will be a few scars on her face.

A woman's face is so important that it counts this in addition to her life. If it really leaves a scar, I am afraid that it will be difficult for my granddaughter to get married in the future.

"Grandmother knows, you drink the medicine quickly." As soon as the old lady nodded, she saw Jinhuan coming in with a medicine bowl, and hurriedly took it in person, and fed Shu Manyao one bite at a time: "You can recuperate with peace of mind, grandmother's courtyard, if you don't let anyone in, you won't let anyone in, you don't have to worry." ”

The old lady is not a stupid person, before she got married, she also had a sister and sister in the family. In addition, Shu Manyao escaped from Zuo's house in a panic, this matter, no matter how you look at it, is not simple.

Moreover, the old lady was a little suspicious of Xu.

After all, when Man Yao smells Poria powder, she gets a rash, outsiders will never know. Dr. Song's character is very haode, not to mention the daughter of the boudoir, he is a man, as long as he is a patient of Dr. Song, his condition will never leak out.

Only the people of the Shu family, who inquired carefully, could possibly know about this matter. And when Man Yao went out on the first day, she encountered this kind of thing, if the rash was raised in public......

It's not that the old lady is suspicious, but it's too much of a coincidence.

It's just that the old lady didn't understand that Xu's weishenme wanted to target Man Yao. Over the years, although the Xu family has not been close to Man Yao, he has never harmed Man Yao.

After a bowl of medicine was fed, Shu Manyao fell asleep again. The old lady got up: "Go and call Xia Xi in." ”

Xia Xi knelt outside for a long time, this winter, she didn't have a cloak, when she came in, her face was pale, and her legs were a little trembling. Just as she was about to continue to kneel, the old lady asked her to move the embroidery pier: "When the girl woke up, she said, I owe you what happened today, but my old lady wronged you before." ”

"Slaves don't dare." Xia Xi was flattered, oh my God, this is the old lady, the biggest master of the Shu family, who actually said sorry to her in disguise?

Xia Xi felt that her head was dizzy for a while, and she was grateful to Shu Manyao, who was still in a coma, and she also had a new understanding of the status of the eldest girl in the old lady's heart, and her awe and loyalty were also on a higher level.

"If it weren't for the slave and maid not protecting the eldest girl, the eldest girl would not have suffered this sin." Xia Xi's eyes were red, and she cried and said: "The slave didn't protect the big girl, the slave and the maid are guilty, and the old lady is punished." ”

The old lady waved her hand: "Okay, the old body is not unreasonable, when you go to someone else's house as a guest, you can't just sit in one place all the time and don't move, as long as Man Yao can move, there will always be all kinds of accidents." Besides, you only started serving Man Yao a few years ago, and you don't know if Man Yao can't smell this Poria powder. Now, you only tell me everything about your affairs in the Zuo family. ”

"Yes, old lady." Xia Xi nodded hurriedly, wiped her tears, and began to say from the beginning: "After getting off the carriage, the girl followed the lady to the inner house, and Mrs. Zuo greeted the lady and the girls at the weeping flower gate, and then the lady stayed by Mrs. Zuo's side, helping Mrs. Zuo entertain guests, and the three girls followed Miss Zuo to play in the flower hall......"

The old lady asked a few words from time to time: "When Zuo Mingzhu said this, who was around him?" ”

"When Mrs. Zuo was talking to Mrs., did you see the girl?"

"When you were listening to the play, when the girl was jumping rope, what did Mrs. Zuo say?"

Some Xia Xi knew, she knew that the girl was guarding against Madame, and sometimes the girl didn't pay attention, so she had to show the lady what Madame had to say. Some Xia Xi didn't know, for example, when the girl jumped rope, in order to prevent people from making moths, the one who was responsible for picking the rope was the maid next to her and the girl of the Wang family.

The old lady asked very carefully, and Xia Xi tried to recall it as much as possible.

When he asked about it, Jin Zhu came in and reported: "Madame has come back with the second and third girls." ”

The old lady frowned slightly, and thought for a while before waving her hand: "Let's just say that I'm a little tired today, let them go back first." ”

Jin Zhu went out to reply, and came back not long after: "Madame said that she wanted to tell the old lady about the eldest girl." ”

The old lady didn't even hesitate, and waved her hand directly: "Just say that I will look for the eldest girl to come back to find something today, the eldest girl is tired, and she is asleep at this time, if there is anything, Ming'er will come back and talk about it." ”

Jin Zhu went out to reply again, and after a while, came back again: "Old lady, Madame said that since the girl is asleep, then don't disturb the girl." It's just that she heard the little maid of the Zuo family say that when the girl came out today, she seemed to be a little uncomfortable, so she asked a few more words. ”

The old lady simply stopped talking, and only instructed Jin Zhu: "Go and call the two maids who followed the eldest girl to come in, Luo's family, send ten taels of silver, and tell Luo Da to let him take care of the carriage in which I and the eldest girl will travel in the future." ”

When Jin Zhu came out, he called the gold bottle again: "Go out again to spread the word, I have been feeling a little unwell recently, so I called the doctor, and the eldest girl wants to pray for me, so I only stayed in my room to copy the Buddhist scriptures these days, when the copying is finished, when can I come out." Which one to bang, you know? ”
