Chapter Seventy-Eight: Discussing the Great Plan
After discussing with the old lady, Jinsu immediately took action.
When she came to the fourth uncle's house, the housekeeper in charge of the doorkeeper stopped her and didn't let her in, saying that the fourth aunt was sick and didn't see any guests.
Bai Zhi scolded with her head and face, "Blind your dog eyes, we are here to see the fourth lady at the behest of the old lady, don't you see it if you don't see it?" ””
The person was a little flustered by Bai Zhi's momentum, looking at her for a while, and looking at Bai Zhi for a while, at a loss.
Jin Su didn't want to embarrass a family, so he said, "I don't want to embarrass you, it's true that my grandmother asked me to come and see the fourth aunt, if I don't see anyone, and don't say whether I'm going back or not, what my grandmother will think, I don't know." So, I advise you, it's better to report it. ”
The janitor scratched his head suspiciously, and he didn't know if he had also made some entanglements, and after a while, he walked inside. Just a few steps out, as if he thought of something, he turned around and said, "Miss, let me report this matter, you must wait for my letter." ”
Jin Su nodded slightly, and Bai Zhi urged impatiently, "Go quickly!" ”
The two of them are also honest, obviously the door is open, no one stops them, and they are stupidly waiting for the family to come back and report the news.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the family to run over out of breath, followed by a plainly dressed maid.
The family raised his hand breathlessly and invited, "Miss, please here, Madame has just gotten up this time, you can just follow her." ”
The maid saluted and beckoned, "Miss, come with me!" After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Following the little maid through the front hall, he entered the cloister, which was very short, with a small pond on one side of the cloister that could be seen at a glance, and a rockery garden on the other side. From time to time, there are also sounds of laughter and drama, which is very lively.
After walking through the corridor, there are rooms one by one, and the doors of the rooms are all hung with lanterns and silk. This kind of dress is very similar to the Floating Fragrance Pavilion.
When groups of women saw her walking by, they all pointed and discussed. It can be seen from the countless eyes that attracted that there was both jealousy and sympathy, and it was estimated that they thought she was the concubine of the fourth uncle.
I have long heard that there are groups of wives and concubines in the fourth uncle's mansion, and when I see it today, it is indeed worthy of its reputation. The warbler and swallow here, I'm afraid it's worth a Yichunfang.
The maid who led the way stopped at the door of a room, gently pushed the door open, and then turned back and said, "Miss, please, Madame is inside!" ”
When Jinsu and Bai Zhi entered the house, the maid who led the way did not follow up and serve, but stood at the door.
The furnishings in the house are simple, not like the bedroom of a real lady of a large family, and the smell of Chinese medicine fills the room.
"Jinsu, go and sit inside." Behind the screen, the voice of the fourth aunt Bai came.
Jin Su bypassed the screen and saw Bai leaning on the bed, his face pale and bloodless, his hair untied, and three thousand green silks sprinkled on his shoulders, looking as weak as I saw pity.
Bai Shi put down the soup bowl, took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of his mouth.
Jin Su saluted and said with concern, "I saw the fourth aunt yesterday and was fine, what's wrong today?" ”
"Ahem, ahem," Bai coughed a few times before he sighed deeply, "Alas, how did you know what happened today yesterday!" ”
Bai's meaning is something, and even fools can hear it, but she deliberately pretends to be nothing, "People live in the world, and it is common for people to have two diseases and three disasters, and the fourth aunt must not lose confidence because of this small illness." ”
Bai sneered softly and did not respond.
Jin Su continued, "This is what my grandmother asked me to bring, grandmother, this person, is a knife mouth, tofu heart, no matter how you say you, after all, you are still worried about your body, no, I was sent early this morning with so many supplements to give you to nourish your body." ”
As he spoke, he motioned to Bai Zhi to take all the things in her hand and show her them one by one.
But Bai Shi didn't even raise his eyelids, he was not moved at all, and said very coldly and politely, "Then I bother you to convey that the concubine has thanked the old lady." ”
Jinsu gave Bai Zhi a look, and Bai Zhi put everything in his hand on the table next to him, and then quietly withdrew.
"Fourth aunt, last time I saw you take a lot of medicine for the fourth uncle at the Jiahe medicine store, I don't know if the fourth uncle took the medicine, but it is better?" Jin Su asked pretending to be concerned.
Bai Shi glanced at her fiercely, and said with a little embarrassment, "It's hard for you to still worry about this, it's a pity that your fourth uncle hasn't been back to the house for many days, don't convince the medicine, I haven't even seen a figure." Girl, I won't hide it from you, I can't live with your fourth uncle, and it's a matter of time before I leave, so you don't need to delay your efforts with me. Go back and tell the old lady that if she does not agree and leave, I will admit it with a letter of resignation, and it is better to live and suffer here. ”
It seems that the Bai family has been completely disappointed in the fourth uncle.
"Fourth aunt, I can understand your distress, if you insist on this, then I have nothing to say. But if there was something I could do to help you change your situation, would you give it a try? Jin Su said tentatively.
Bai Shi smiled bitterly, "You are just a young lady who has not yet left the cabinet, what can you help with me and your fourth uncle?" ”
"You have included all the women that the fourth uncle likes into the door, and the house is full of Yingge and Yan dance all day long, and you don't have to be inferior to the green building, but the days when the fourth uncle comes back are getting fewer and fewer, do you know why?" Jinsu asked.
Bai Shi was also puzzled, and looked at Jin Su suspiciously.
"Not only that, the fourth uncle seems to like the land of fireworks so much, soliciting women everywhere, have you ever seen a woman who is pregnant with the fourth uncle?"
Bai Shi seemed to think of something, and muttered in disbelief, "Could it be true?" ……”
Jin Su knew what the Bai family was thinking, stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, closer to the Bai family, and whispered, "Although the fourth uncle is hugged left and right in the Qinglou, he is drunk every time, and a woman has never touched it. ”
Bai Shi looked at Jin Su in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
"I came to see the doctor in the master's medical hall and the people in the Floating Incense Pavilion, and I talked about it when I chatted with the master." Jin Su said in a very low voice, almost only the Bai family could hear it, "I know such a thing, the fourth uncle will definitely not want to make a noise, so he will definitely not go to the doctor." ”
After hearing this, Bai's eyes were full of tears, his handkerchief was clenched and beaten against the quilt, and his mouth muttered, "Wrongdoer, what a wrongdoer!" After speaking, he couldn't help but sobbed a few times.
Jin Su gently patted Bai's back to comfort, "Fourth aunt, although the fourth uncle's hidden illness has been a long time, it is not incurable. ”
Bai's eyes lit up, "Can it really be cured?" ”
"Naturally, it can, as long as the fourth uncle is willing to cooperate, he should be able to recover within two months."
"Really?!" Bai Shi asked happily, but before Jinsu could respond, the smile on his face immediately dimmed, and he said in frustration, "He wants to save face like this, where will he cooperate." ”
Jin Su smiled lightly, "Fourth aunt, don't worry, I have my own way." As he spoke, he took out a small packet of medicinal powder from his arms and handed it to Bai, "This packet of medicine is soft tendon powder, if you take it in small amounts, your limbs will be sore, your whole body will be weak, and you will not be able to walk normally, even if you don't take medicine to relieve it, you can return to normal in twelve hours, during which your consciousness is clear, and there is no major damage to your body." ”
Bai was a little scared and didn't dare to take it.
"You also know that with the temper of the fourth uncle, he will never admit that he has a hidden disease. So all I can think of is to make the fourth uncle unwell first, take the opportunity of diagnosis and treatment, and then my master will cure his hidden disease as well. ”
"However, this is a drug after all, in case it ......" Bai Shi was worried.
"Fourth aunt, this is the second point I want to make. There are so many warblers and Yanyan in the house, I am afraid that you are not the only one who has complaints about the fourth uncle, even if someone suspects that the fourth uncle was drugged, it may not be you. ”
Bai Shi thoughtfully took the medicinal powder in her hand, and didn't know if he fully understood her words. But Jinsu can only do this, and he can't say it more clearly.
Before leaving, Bai repeatedly confirmed that the packet of medicinal powder would not hurt the fourth uncle's body, so he let Jinsu leave with peace of mind.
