Chapter 16: Punctuality's Death
If you want to get better quickly, three points in medicine and seven points in yourself.
Although confined to the body of a five-year-old in this life, Zhou Manyun still remembers the experience of being an adult woman in her previous life.
Rebirth is inexplicable, the illness is cured, and the medicine is right, but part of the reason is that as soon as she regained consciousness, she took the initiative to cooperate with the diet and move herself as much as possible.
Therefore, early in the morning, Zhou Manyun had followed Mother Zhu in front of her own door, knocking her teeth and shaking her head, swinging her waist and rubbing her abdomen, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of the servants and maids who got up early in the inner courtyard.
In the past few days, thinking carefully about the circumstances of his previous life, Zhou Manyun has better understood the truth of being born in sorrow and dying in peace.
When she was eighteen years old, she had just fallen from the position of the young grandmother of the Gao family to make a bed and fold a pillow mat for others. Later, I did a lot of work, but I naturally threw away my weakness, although the situation was not good, but my body was healthy, and my thoughts and thoughts were also accessible, and I recognized my own life, and I relied on myself for everything, and I didn't live badly.
But later settled in Luo Jing's backyard, as soon as the days of brocade clothes and jade food passed, within two years, I had an undeserved dependence on that man in my heart, and I returned to the grievances of being the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, and I ended up with Zuihou who couldn't even keep my own son.
At that time, I didn't dare to escape, and some of them gave up because they were worried that they wouldn't be able to escape. The quality of the body also affects the mood of the person, and if you are determined to protect your mother in this life, you must make your body as healthy as possible.
The day of Du's death is approaching, and Man Yun, who doesn't know what the situation was like that day, is deeply thoughtful.
However, no matter how fluttering her mind is, she can't resist Mother Zhu's thick pull, her praise is loud, as if she wishes the whole county could hear it, "Sister Yun is so smart, she will learn it!" ”。
Zhou Manyun secretly raised his little hand to wipe the sweat, covered the emptiness on his face, and emphasized to himself again in his heart, "I'm only five years old, only five years old, I should be proud to be able to do this!" ”。
When I raised my face again, a drop of sweat was already on the tip of my small nose.
Drawing a scoop according to the gourd, following Zhu's mother to make a comparison, and when she returned to the corridor, Xiaoman intimately handed over a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"Second uncle!" , Zhou Manyun looked at the Gao family standing next to Xiao Man, and still didn't feel shy on his face.
Thinking about it, those movements just now have been received by the Gao family, Zhen Shu is quiet, and she has memorized the teachings of the Gao family in her previous life.
With a light plum fragrance, Gao's hand touched Man Yun's little head lovingly, "Just after getting well, you can be so happy, how good!" ”
Not to blame? Man Yun was secretly a little dizzy with happiness.
Gao, the second uncle of the Du family, is here to send breakfast to Man Yun. In the same way, she hand-wrapped the small wontons in swallow skin, one for Man Yun, and one for the outer courtyard for her son Zhou Shen.
Looking at Gao's figure curling away, Man Yun looked happily in the direction of the outer courtyard.
That night, Brother Shen inexplicably had a sudden high fever, but fortunately, there was a fake Taoist priest, tossing for half a night, and finally snatched back Brother Shen'er's life in danger.
As if he had survived a catastrophe, Brother Shen gradually showed signs of improvement.
And this also made the eldest grandmother Xie Shi, who originally had a lot of opinions about the Taoist priests of unknown origin, dumbfounded, and could only slander the believers who had become Taoist priests one after another.
He shouldn't die, right? The small spoon in Man Yun's hand was emptied in the small bowl of soup, but he still didn't realize it, and put it directly to his mouth.
In the previous life, the deceased in the family was jealous, close to each other, and the entire Zhou family was a haze of cigarettes from June to July. Man Yun, who grew up with the Gao family, remembers Brother Shen's days very clearly.
Today is already June 23, Man Yun finished calculating in his heart, with a sweet smile on his face, no matter what, Brother Shen'er's life is different from his previous life. This little change also gave her more confidence in continuing to keep her mother and more relatives.
June 23rd! After thinking about it again, the spoon in Zhou Manyun's hand fell to the bottom of the bowl with a bang, and the splashed soup quickly soaked the lotus shirt on her body.
"What are you thinking?" , Du Shi, who was sitting on the bed and watching his daughter eat breakfast, glanced at Man Yun with disgust, and beckoned Zhu's mother to change her clothes.
Zhou Manyun looked at the soft rouge cherry blossoms held by Mother Zhu's hand, and shook her head vigorously, "It's too gorgeous!" ”
"My sister is born well, white and tender, and she looks good when she wears glamorous!" , Zhu's mother smiled while taking care of herself to untie the soiled clothes on Manyun's body.
"Change the plain ......", when the words came to his mouth, Man Yun swallowed himself and spread his hands in a puppet style.
What can she say? The missing Brother Wen, obviously the Zhou family didn't take it seriously. Could it be that even if you tell your mother, who likes bright clothes, that your father may be gone? Or tell the people of the Zhou family, who are still glamorous all day long, that Mrs. Zhou in Huocheng, the seventy-six-year-old great-grandmother Meng, is going to go today?
At this time, if you insist on vegetarianism, you will be considered to be unlucky, after all, there are a lot of patients at home.
Silently praying in his heart, changing his shirt as smoothly as he could, Zhou Manyun sat at the desk by the window, holding his little cheeks, and looked at the sky outside in a daze.
"The weather in Pingzhou is evil, and not a drop of rain has fallen since May, so if you can't let that child have a plague ......", Zhu's mother sat next to Manyun, holding the sole of a shoe, and kept breaking her thoughts in her mouth.
In the fifteenth year of Yongde, the weather everywhere is evil! Especially for the Zhou family.
In my previous life, I heard the old people in Huocheng say that before and after the death of his great-grandmother Meng, it rained in Huocheng for half a month.
Man Yun sighed softly.
June 23, Huocheng, heavy rain.
The raindrops were like beans, and they hit the ground with a thread, splashing white water.
Even the thirty-six feng shui tanks placed everywhere in the Zhou family's compound were filled with the sudden rain. A few of the koi fish raised in the tank also jumped out and fluttered on the ground, slapping the leaves of the lily lilies that had also been washed out of the tank.
Under the command of the chief housekeeper Zhou An, the subordinates braved the rain to catch fish, drain the water, and were in an orderly manner. From beginning to end, there was no trace of the Zhou family, large and small.
The Zhou family in Huocheng was concentrated in Mrs. Zhou's room Meng's house.
Zhou Xianshu's third son, Zhou Yang and his wife, waited in the inner room, while the fourth generation of the Zhou family, led by Zhou Ke, the grandson of the eldest family, was waiting for the outer room, which was said to be passed to see his great-grandmother.
In the inner room, the white-haired Meng Shi combed his hair in a neat bun, and also put on the coat that had been prepared for a long time, looking ruddy and in good spirits, supported by a mother-in-law who was serving closely, and leaned on the three-star welcome pillow at the head of the bed.
"Grandmother, please use some medicine!" , a bowl of medicine was held high on the tray, and Zhou Yang and his wife knelt beside the bed, begging and begging.
Grandma Lin on Wednesday, kneeling beside her husband who was serving medicine, her lowered eyelashes flashing quietly. Her husband still doesn't quite understand it outside, but she knows it very well, since the news of her father-in-law Zhou Xian's imprisonment came back to Huocheng, her grandmother Meng Shi has already deprived herself of decoction, and she has even banned food and drink in the past two days.
According to the doctor who just sent away, Meng Shi is just returning to the light now, and even Meng Shi himself knows that the time limit has come, so he has changed his clothes and wants to explain the future.
Sure enough, as before, the medicine offered by Zhou Yang was still taken away by the girl in Meng's house with tears as usual.
"The people who went to Luojing and Pingzhou to report the news have been arranged?" , Meng Shi asked Zhou Yang, and after hearing a choked "yes", he nodded slowly.
"I still blame my dead wife for being greedy for life, die a few days early, let your father report Ding Wei and retire, and everything will be fine!" , Meng Shi closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly opened them, staring at Zhou Yang with burning eyes, "My funeral news, you personally sent it to Pingzhou and took the boat with you!" If Xie doesn't come back, you just say that you will follow my orders and pick up all the children who can be picked up first! ”
Meng Shi's face was flushed, and her voice was sonorous that she hadn't heard for a long time, but everyone knew that she was like a broken candle in the wind, desperately burning the light.
Zhou Yang responded in a low voice, thinking that a wall was being arranged to wait to see his great-grandmother's eldest son and grandson, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Zhou Yang's biological mother Huang was originally a cousin of his father Zhou Xiangu, and they were both raised by Meng. thought it was a good story of a childhood sweetheart, but it fell short after Zhou Xian became famous and married the daughter of the Xie family.
The Meng family was going to arrange for the Huang family to marry another, but by mistake, she became Zhou Xian's concubine, and she died within a few years of giving birth to Zhou Yang. His father never took him with him all the way to work, and he always kept him in Huocheng as his grandmother's filial piety, so that he could marry a wife and have children in Huocheng.
When he thought that he could continue the Huocheng Zhou family silently like this, his father in Beijing actually returned to his hometown and sent the children of several brothers back in advance.
Now that my father and brother are in prison, it has become obvious that the mother-in-law who has not yet come back is not a good match, and the three rooms of the Zhou family, who have been left alone in Huocheng for nearly 30 years, are panicked.
What's more, some of his grandmother's explanations are a little too heavy for Zhou Yang.
"Yang'er!" , a child who has been raised for decades, what does Meng Shi not understand, but she has no strength to say more, so she can only tremble and drag Zhou Yang's hand and put it on a box carved with red lacquer peony flowers.
The sobbing in the inner room was incessant, and the rain was roaring outside the window, but nothing could be heard. As the grandson of the eldest family, twelve-year-old Zhou Ke tightened the hand of his nine-year-old brother Zhou Ti, lowered his head slightly, and looked at the surrounding cousins scrutinically.
After a long time, the summons finally came from the inner room. A group of children walked into the room in a group and were led by the Lin family to the Meng family one by one.
The great-grandmother Meng Shi that the children saw was speechless, lying on the bed, and her eyes swept over the children and grandchildren......
A thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, and after the thunder, the rain that had just been rested for a while suddenly became heavier again, and the Meng family's room also sounded with a cry of regret, one after another.
