Chapter 91: Teach Shen Tuying a lesson for Jiaojiao
When Bai Jiaojiao heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry.
It was Lu Ying who came over and asked her to meet him, and she didn't ask him to come. However, in order to earn dozens of taels of silver, she didn't care about these trivial things, just stretched out her finger and pointed to the kitchen, and said to Lu Yu: "Please go to the hall for a while and wait for a while, and then I will decoct the medicine for my sister, and then go to change my clothes and burn incense and pray to the gods, so that His Royal Highness the Second Prince can meet and divide."
Hexagram. ”
Lu Yu saw that Bai Jiaojiao was very sincere, so he immediately readily agreed and led several of his entourage to the hall.
Bai Jiaojiao was decocting medicine in the kitchen, and after being busy for a while, Su Xi walked in with a bamboo basket of peaches, put them in a wooden basin, and then washed the peaches.
Looking at the ripe peaches, Bai Jiaojiao asked with some curiosity: "Sister Suxi, are these peaches sent by others?" ”
There were indeed several peach trees near this house, but the peaches that bore on the peach trees had been plucked by others. She hadn't eaten a peach from a peach tree since she came here.
Su Xi picked out the washed peaches, picked out a larger one, carefully peeled them, and put them in Bai Jiaojiao's hands.
"These peaches were picked by the old lady herself, and then sent them by horseback. Sister Jiaojiao, you can also taste it, it's very sweet. ”
Bai Jiaojiao stretched out her hand to take it, and in front of Su Xi, she quickly finished eating a peach and said, "It's so sweet." ”
The old lady who knew what Su Xi said was referring to the biological mother of Sister Shiling, that is, the second brother and daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Zhou, Hua Yue'er.
In the Dajing Dynasty, Hua Yue'er, the elder, was quite respected.
This is related to Hua Yue'er's identity after being a loyal martyr, and it is also related to Hua Yue'er herself doing many good deeds.
After she came out of the palace that day, she heard a woman say that Hua Yue'er and her husband and wife had recently ridden to Nan County, which was located near Sheng County.
When she came back and told Sister Shiling about this, she learned that the two elders of Hua Yue'er went to Nanjun to help the soldiers raise food and grass.
Sister Shiling told her that some of the grain and grass were burned. Presumably Sister Shiling's biological parents also know about this.
Hearing Sister Su Xi say that the peaches were sent by the old lady Hua Yue'er, a trace of joy crossed her eyes. Sister Shiling's mother came back, presumably after going to Nanjun, to raise some grain and grass for the soldiers.
Otherwise, Hua Yue'er wouldn't have been able to send the peaches in person.
"Sister Su Xi, Sister Shiling is recuperating from her injuries, you can leave the old lady here and accompany her more ......" Bai Jiaojiao said with a smile.
If you want to ask Su Xi about something, it's not good to say it directly, so I'll ask about it face-to-face.
She wants to go to Northern Xinjiang to treat wounded soldiers, if someone from the Zhou Mansion goes to Northern Xinjiang, wouldn't she just be able to go with them? Her father and brother were far away in northern Xinjiang, so they couldn't introduce her to be a female doctor, and it was difficult to send someone back to pick her up directly.
In the past, Bai Jiaojiao had only read medical books, and had never treated anyone, which was a fact that Bai Qingyun and they all knew.
She knew that Sister Su Xi was an orphan adopted by the Zhou family, and she was about the same age as Sister Shiling. The elders of the Zhou family let Sister Shiling and Sister Su Xi eat and live together and practice martial arts together.
The friendship between those two sisters is very deep, like sisters. What Sister Shiling knows, she should also tell Sister Su Xi.
Zhou Shiling told Bai Jiaojiao: "I have always regarded Su Xi as my sister, and I have never regarded her as my maidservant." She has a kind heart and has taken good care of me since I was a child. Before I got married, she took the initiative to say that she wanted to go to the Yun family with me, and my father agreed. ”
"After Su Xi and I went to Northern Xinjiang, as soon as she was free, she would also help the soldiers do some needlework, if Sister JL went to Northern Xinjiang, you can take Su Xi with her, and she can help you to some extent."
Bai Jiaojiao looked at Zhou Shiling's legs, and her gaze slowly moved to the position of Zhou Shiling's lower abdomen. Although Zhou Shiling's current condition has improved, she will be able to recover soon. But Zhou Shiling is a pregnant person after all, if she brings Su Xi to the northern Xinjiang, how can Sister Shiling live?
Sister Su Xi has been with Sister Shi Ling for so many years, and in a short period of time, Sister Shi Ling will not find someone more reliable than Sister Su Xi to take care of her.
Bai Jiaojiao refused with a smile, "Sister, let's let Sister Su Xi accompany you." My sister goes to northern Xinjiang, she can take care of herself and others......"
Su Xi took out the washed peaches, put them in the bamboo basket on the side to drain the water, got up to find the fruit plate, put it on the wooden table, and said: "Sister Jiaojiao, I don't know if the young lady told you that our old lady went to Nan County in the south with the old man to raise grain and grass in recent days. No, after the old lady returned to the imperial city, she went to pick peaches and sent them? ”
Bai Jiaojiao listened and said: "It's not easy to raise grain and grass, and it is indeed not easy for the second uncle and second aunt to do this." It's that I'm not thoughtful. ”
Sister Shiling calls her biological parents, and she is the second uncle and second aunt who are called.
Because Sister Shiling was adopted by her biological parents to her uncle, that is, Prime Minister Zhou.
The Prime Minister asked Sister Shiling to call him 'Big Uncle' and her own parents 'Daddy' and 'Mother'. But when Sister Shiling was still very young, she always called the prime minister 'father', and called her own parents 'second uncle' and 'second aunt'.
During these years, it was the Prime Minister who raised his sister. My sister can become an excellent female general of the Dajing Dynasty, which is inseparable from the careful teaching of the Prime Minister.
These are all things that Sister Shiling told her, and she has always taken them to heart.
It's just that she doesn't know if Shiling's sister's biological parents are older than her father. It should be appropriate to call them second uncle and second aunt.
Su Xi bent his eyes and smiled, and said, "Heh, sister, you see that you are polite." You don't know these things, what is thoughtful or not. If someone's daughter is pregnant, and her biological mother is close, she can go to see her daughter. It's just that our old lady has been very busy lately, and in the past few days, she can't come and take care of the young lady in person......"
Bai Jiaojiao only heard Su Xi call her sister, and she drank honey in her heart. The juice is as sweet as it gets.
During the time she lived here, Su Xi had always treated her well. If there is anything delicious, I will give Zhou Shiling and her a copy.
Su Xi said that she and her young lady are sisters, so she is also her Su Xi's sister.
Bai Jiaojiao happily stretched out her arms to hug Su Xi, and said, "From now on, I will have two sisters, my sister and you." In a few months, Sister Shiling will be a mother, and Sister Su Xi and I will also be upgraded to aunts......"
As soon as he heard this, Su Xile couldn't close his mouth.
Yes, in a few months, Miss will be a mother, and she and Jiaojiao sister will be aunts.
"After the young lady was hit by the arrow, we have been worried about the child in her belly. OK...... Save. Su Xi said after Bai Jiaojiao let go of her hands. After that, Su Xi folded his hands and silently recited in his heart: I must bless my young lady and their mother and son safely.
"Sister, you are a female doctor, so you should tell me, is my young lady pregnant with a son or a daughter?" Su Xi asked quietly.
Bai Jiaojiao sneered, "As long as the child is healthy, the child is fine." ”
After thinking about it, he asked Su Xi: "Sister Su Xi, do my sister and brother-in-law want a son, or do they want a daughter?" ”
Su Xi said happily: "Miss wants all children, but my uncle wants a girl." He said that the young lady was beautiful and intelligent, and hoped that their daughter would be as pleasing as the young lady. ”
It is very rare for my brother-in-law to not have a patriarchal mentality.
Bai Jiaojiao heard this, and was happy for Zhou Shiling in her heart. Raising his eyes and looking in the direction of Beijiang, he said sincerely: "I hope the war will end soon, and when my brother-in-law returns from victory, I will be able to accompany my sister." ”
Su Xi shook his head slightly, leaned close to Bai Jiaojiao's ear, and said in a very soft voice: "Uncle is leading his cronies to the Beiyuan Country, and he is going to collect information over there." He passed after he arrived in Northern Xinjiang, and he hadn't told him about Miss's pregnancy. When the young lady left, he did not return to the northern Xinjiang camp. ”
Bai Jiaojiao quickly heard that Zhou Shiling's husband was in the Beiyuan Kingdom, and he was collecting intelligence just like the spies he had cultivated.
During this period of time, Zhou Shiling did not have any news about him.
Whether Zhou Shiling's husband can return safely is anyone's guess.
"When I go to Northern Xinjiang, I must tell my brother-in-law that my sister is pregnant." Bai Jiaojiao looked at Su Xi expectantly, and said, "I live with my sister every day, and I can hear her talking in her dreams at night, and I will hear her calling her brother-in-law's name......"
Su Xi had tears in her eyes and nodded, "Miss and Uncle have known each other since childhood, and the two are also childhood sweethearts. But the relationship between their husband and wife is very good. ”
"Don't look at my uncle as a military general, but in my spare time, my uncle will also play the piano to the young lady. Wherever the young lady is in love, she will also dance. "Su Xi admired him,
said: "As a woman, I think Miss is very happy. I also hope that sister, after marrying His Royal Highness the Second Prince, you can be favored by His Royal Highness the Second Prince. ”
Bai Jiaojiao looked stunned, "What? ”
Let her marry His Royal Highness the Second Prince?
Isn't this messing around with the mandarin duck spectrum?
She really didn't have any interest in the second prince who wanted to come to her to meet her, divinate her, and ask her what kind of woman his future wife would be.
Su Xixiao pouted embarrassedly, "Sister, what are you...... I really don't know? ”
"Know what?" Bai Jiaojiao looked confused.
What could she know? She really didn't know anything.
Su Xi explained softly: "On the day when my sister went to the palace and went to court with the wife and daughter of the second master of the Bai family, His Royal Highness the Second Prince appreciated my sister's performance very much. After he returned to the palace, he happened to hear his mother ask him, what kind of princess he wanted to marry in the future? He said that the ideal princess in his heart was none other than his sister
Bai Jiao raised her eyebrows coquettishly, stretched out her hand to point in the direction of the hall, and asked Su Xi: "Sister, that bastard came to meet me today, and he asked the question you just said." Heck, my sister didn't tell her sooner that he would play that kind of joke with his mother. If his mother is serious, she will ......"
But she's going to be pitted.
Su Xi snickered, "Sister, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has a handsome face, a martial arts, and everything is good." If you have to find fault with him, that's at most...... There are so many girls who like him. In addition, my sister really can't think of any shortcomings that His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who is impeccable to the point of perfection, can have any unacceptable shortcomings......"
Bai Jiaojiao spread her hands helplessly.
Sister Su Xi, where is this picking on the shortcomings of His Royal Highness the Second Prince? This is clearly a change of way to praise others.
"Whether he's good or bad, it's none of my business. I'm too young to think about these things. The more Bai Jiaojiao thought about it, the more she felt that something was not quite right, and said to Su Xi. With that, he quickly opened the door and went straight into the hall.
Su Xi hurriedly picked out some washed peaches and put them in a fruit bowl. Jiaojiao's sister ran so fast, she must have gone to find His Royal Highness the Second Prince.
She just mentioned it casually, but she didn't want Jiaojiao's sister to say anything to His Royal Highness the Second Prince before she married into the palace.
