Chapter 137: I Have to Go Back
After finishing the order, Mama Hua approached the table and put the fetal pill in her hand on the table, and was about to go over to see Xu Jiayi's situation, but found a piece of letter paper at her feet. suddenly remembered that before Xu Jiayi fainted just now, she seemed to be watching this. Mama Hua paused, lowered her head and picked up the letter on the ground and looked down at it, and suddenly understood why Xu Jiayi reacted so much.
Mrs. Su of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion was seriously ill.
I heard that Mrs. has always been raised in Shangshu Mansion, and she gets along very well with several ladies and lords in Shangshu Mansion. The old man's body was already weak, and he was sick like a mountain, but he was afraid that the situation was not very good, otherwise it would not have been possible to write a letter to inform his wife in a hurry. However, it is really inappropriate for her to say that the Wang family is doing this, knowing that her wife is now pregnant, how can she write a letter and send the news over.
Just calculate the time, if Mrs. Su was really sick, it would have been almost a month ago. I don't know what the situation of that old lady is now, and whether the imperial doctor in the palace can cure her.
Thinking like this in her heart, Mama Hua looked up and saw that Cuiyun and Yuanxiang were prostrate on the edge of the bed and carefully serving Xu Jiayi, her eyes sank slightly, and she told Cuiyun and Yuanxiang to serve the good lady, and she went out of the room to find Xiangqiao.
Xu Jiayi relies on Xiangqiao the most, which can be seen by Mama Hua. However, Xu Jiayi was afraid that Xiangqiao would be tired, so she basically wouldn't arrange anything for her to do, and she only took on the name of a housekeeper in Fengyuan. When Xiangqiao has nothing to do, she likes to teach the maids in the yard to do some female work, so it is easy to find her, and you can find her directly by going directly to the sewing pavilion in the side courtyard.
After listening to Mama Hua's words, Xiangqiao's figure also trembled slightly, and she almost couldn't stand steadily.
Mama Hua stretched out her hand to help Xiangqiao steady, and called softly, "Miss Xiangqiao." ”
Xiangqiao has never married in her life, and in order to serve Xu Jiayi, she took the initiative to comb the woman's hair, but in private, the maids and daughters-in-law don't like to call her "Xiangqiao Mama" or "Xiangqiao Aunt", but respectfully call her "Sister Xiangqiao". Mama Hua is a few years older than her, so she has always been called "Xiangqiao girl".
"Mama Hua, don't worry, I will persuade Madame well." Of course, Xiangqiao understood what the reason for Mama Hua's son to come to her was looking for her, so she pinched her handkerchief and cleaned her face, took a few deep breaths, returned to her normal state, and hurried to the main house of Fengyuan. stepped into the house, only to find that her son Xu Jiayi had woken up, but she bit her lip and refused to speak.
"Madam, you are awake, is there anything wrong with you?" Mama Hua then came into the house and asked gently.
Xu Jiayi pinched her fingers and tried to keep herself awake, struggling to sit up from the bed. She didn't have to answer when the two girls next to her spoke just now, but Mama Hua couldn't help but give face, and shook her head, "I'm fine." ”
The voice is soft and weak.
Mama Hua looked at her pale face, where she looked like she was fine, and subconsciously glanced at Xiangqiao.
"Madam, you must take care of yourself, otherwise how can the old lady rest assured of you. Last time, the old lady wrote a letter in person, asking you to pay attention to your own body, and when you give birth to a white and tender little master, you will take the little master back to Yanjing City to see her. The "old lady" in Xiangqiao's sentence does not refer to Mrs. Chu, but Mrs. Su of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, that is, Xu Jiayi's grandmother.
"Xiangqiao ......" Xu Jiayifu couldn't help but reddened her eyes as soon as she spoke, and a thousand words were blocked in her throat but she couldn't say a word, only tears fell down her cheeks, sniffed, Xu Jiayi opened almost silently, "Grandmother, she is sick, very sick......"
Cuiyun and Yuanxiang, who were guarding on the side, were so distressed when they saw her like this, and they didn't know what to say if they wanted to comfort her, so there was only one sentence to say, "Madam, don't cry, it's not good for your body, you still have a child in your belly." ”
"Vomiting ......" cried so much that Xu Jiayi had a wave of nausea in her stomach, lying on the edge of the bed and wanting to vomit, but she couldn't vomit anything, only retched a few times, spit out some acid water, and choked some into her trachea, causing Xu Jiayi to cough a few times.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Xiangqiao went over and grabbed Xu Jiayi's shoulder, patted her on the back, and calmed her down, "Madam...... It's been almost a month since the letter was sent, maybe the old lady is already well? Don't be cranky here, why don't you write a letter back and ask about the situation? ”
Xiangqiao lowered her eyes and looked at Xu Jiayi's eyes seriously and quietly, without blinking. Looking at Xiangqiao's eyes, Xu Jiayi's impatient heart suddenly quieted down.
There seems to be a strange tranquility in her body, as long as you look at her eyes, you don't need to say much to make people feel at ease, and reason is also returned in an instant.
Xu Jiayi turned her head to look at Cuiyun and Yuanxiang who were Qi Ran on the side, and ordered, "Cuiyun, let people prepare the carriage!" Yuanxiang, you put our things away, pick some light ones, and bring some necessities. ”
"Madame, what are you ......?"
"Go!" Xu Jiayi's voice raised a little and said softly.
The two girls still didn't dare to move, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at Xiangqiao.
Xiangqiao waved her hand at the two of them, motioning for them to stand aside, she sat on the edge of the bed and took Xu Jiayi's hand, and said softly, "Madam, the slave knows that you are worried about the old lady, but Changzhou is thousands of miles away from Yanjing City, and the carriage and waterway on the road will take more than a month to arrive, and it will take more than half a month to ride a fast horse day and night. ”
"When you first came to Changzhou, you couldn't stand it all the way, not to mention that you are pregnant now, how can you do it if the road is bumpy? What's more, it's been a long way along the way, and now it's chaotic outside, didn't the prince say that you shouldn't go out? Even if you really want to go, you should carefully pick some soldiers who can handle the style, otherwise how to ensure the safety on the road? ”
"I have to go back." Xu Jiayi said stubbornly, the tears in her eyes gradually became thick, and with a slight blink, large pieces fell down her cheeks.
She was brought back to Shangshu Mansion since she was a child, and she was raised by her maternal grandmother. Now she is seriously ill, but she can't be filial by her side, which is really unfilial.
"You calm down first, the eldest lady also wrote in the letter, Lord Shangshu has invited the imperial doctor in the palace to come for treatment, and the situation has stabilized. There is no danger to her life, and with the careful care of the doctor in the past month, the old lady must have recovered now. ”
The tears on Xu Jiayi's face fell faster, and the handkerchief that Xiangqiao wiped her tears for her was completely soaked. Mama Hua said to the side, "Madam, why don't we wait for a while, if the situation of the old lady of the Wang family improves, there will definitely be letters from behind." ”
The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
Xu Jiayi raised her eyes and looked at Mama Hua with hazy eyes, although she knew that what she said was very reasonable, she was still a little uneasy.
"Yes, ma'am, let's wait patiently. On the 10th, if there is no letter on the 10th, shall we mention the matter of returning to Yanjing City? ”
Xu Jiayi bit her lip and thought about it, and nodded.
Ten days.
She waited ten more days.
If there is still no new news to come, she will say that she will go back.
Fengyuan invited Dr. Shen to go over to diagnose the pulse, and Mrs. Chu didn't know about it after a while.
Although she has some complaints about Xu Jiayi these days because she wants to give Chu Changfeng a concubine, but clothes, jewelry, expensive supplements and the like are all sent to her house like flowing water, no matter what, she must not be wronged by her little grandchildren. Although she rarely visits her in the maple garden, Mama Yao beside her is often assigned by her to the maple garden.
Therefore, the things in the maple garden, Mrs. Chu is not clear, but she also knows a lot.
At that time, Mrs. Chu was kneeling down in front of the Buddha statue with a rosary, and just got up and sat down to rest for a while, she saw Mama Yao bring fresh tea and pour tea for her, "The slave maid heard that Mrs. Shen hurriedly invited Dr. Shen to check the pulse, and something happened to Mrs. ”
As soon as she heard this, the old lady Chu put down the teacup and walked out of the courtyard, saying that she wanted to go over and see it in person.
Along the way, I also chattered about the specific situation of Fengyuan, but Mama Yao stayed in Rongyang Hall all day today and did not leave the hospital, and the affairs of Fengyuan were only talked about by the girls below, and I didn't know what to do for a while. In this way, Mrs. Chu was even more anxious in her heart, and the pace under her feet couldn't help but be faster.
"Old lady, walk slowly, watch your step. The girl at the bottom likes to exaggerate, maybe the lady has nothing to do at all. "This will be a son, Mama Yao regrets that she just talked too much.
The group hurried and hurried, but in two quarters of an hour, Old Lady Chu had already arrived at the gate of Fengyuan.
As soon as Mrs. Chu entered the house, she smelled a strong smell of medicine, and then saw that the maids in the maple garden were all wilting and hanging their heads, and then she heard the low sipping in the room, and her heart immediately rose, for fear that something had happened to the child in Xu Jiayi's belly, so she walked quickly to the house, and it happened that Dr. Shen was also there.
Mrs. Chu glanced at Xu Jiayi, who was half-leaning on the bed and crying sadly, and then at a room full of maids with tears in her eyes, she felt that it was dark in front of her and almost fainted.
Isn't that ......
Isn't it...... Miscarriage.
Old Mrs. Chu looked at Xu Jiayi on the bed, trembling lips and couldn't speak, or Mama Yao on the side helped Mrs. Chu, and after saluting Xu Jiayi, she asked Dr. Shen first, "Doctor Shen, my wife...... What's wrong with the baby in the womb? ”
