Chapter Ninety-One: Letters
When he set off the next day, the child's condition improved, but it was obviously not as good as Mu Yunqi expected, Mu Yunqi frowned and watched Yuan Heyuan carry his son into the carriage, and Yuan's daughter-in-law followed the carriage with swollen eyes.
Mu Yunqi was very quiet along the way, but it was not like usual, and everyone knew that she was anxious about the child's illness, and no one bothered her. She pondered as she walked, according to her judgment, the child was not particularly sick, she took such a fierce medicine today, not to mention that she should be able to walk around on her own, so as not to ask his father to carry him into the car, and the appearance of Yuan's daughter-in-law must have been bad last night.
When he was resting, Mu Yunqi got into the carriage to check the child's pulse again, and when he felt that something was not right, he ripped off the child's clothes, and there were patches of red dots on the back of the child's neck.
Mu Yunqi pouted and thought for a while and asked, "How did you spend last night?" ”
Yuan's daughter-in-law didn't understand what she meant and said, "I held him for one night." ”
"Do you have a blanket over him?"
"Oh, yes, the old man said to cover your sweat when you have a fever, so that the fever can go away." Yuan's daughter-in-law preached earnestly.
"The other day when it was hot, did you wear it for your children?"
Yuan nodded and said: "This child is weak, and he loves to get sick at the turn of summer and autumn, and the old man said that he is frozen, so I don't dare to undress the child easily at this time." ”
Mu Yun nodded and said, "If you want to be safe, you need to be hungry and cold." Thinking that your family is very rich, looking at his chubby appearance, he must have eaten enough at every meal, plus what you said, it is strange that this child can be strong. ”
"Huh? This? Mu Yunqi's words broke all her previous cognitions, and she was a little overwhelmed.
Mu Yunqi simply took off the children's clothes one after another, one less than the adults. Yuan's daughter-in-law was anxious to stop her, Mu Yunqi said: "Children's physique is hotter than that of adults, so one piece of clothing should be reduced according to adults, and an old man like your housewife should be reduced by two pieces than her dress." ”
In the evening, the child's fever finally subsided, but the Yuan family made a fuss themselves, and they heard the Yuan family's housewife scolding: "You broom star, you want to kill my grandson, wear him so little." ”
A few messengers stepped forward and said, "What's the matter, what's the trouble, are you comfortable?" ”
The mistress was frightened when she looked at the messenger, and said unexpectedly, "This daughter-in-law has harmed my grandson by giving him so few clothes." ”
One of the messengers asked, "Is the child well?" ”
Yuan's daughter-in-law said in a low voice: "The fever has subsided, yes, it was the princess who told me to wear it like this." ”
The messengers glanced back at Mu Yunqi, Mu Yunqi still ate her own, and the messenger who asked about the child's situation just now said: "Since the princess said that the child is sick, it means that this is right, what do you old woman know, don't be noisy and delay, what should you do." With a fierce expression as she spoke, the Yuan family's housewife pouted and left, glaring at Yuan's daughter-in-law fiercely before leaving.
Mu Yunqi looked at this family and smiled, since ancient times, it is true that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are enemies, Mu Yunqi remembered Aunt Yun's concubine Chen, Aunt Yun treated her so well back then, and she was also her chosen daughter-in-law, I don't know if Aunt Yun is still alive now, will the two of them also encounter such an ordinary family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict.
At this time, Yuan's daughter-in-law walked up to her and saluted and said, "Fortunately, the princess is in charge, otherwise I would not have been reproached again today." ”
Mu Yunqi smiled and said, "Come and sit, is your mother-in-law like this on weekdays?" ”
Yuan's daughter-in-law nodded, then shook her head as if she thought of something, and said: "If I follow her wishes, I will be a good daughter-in-law in ten thousand, and once I don't follow her wishes, it will be all kinds of difficulties." Will the same be true for the princess? ”
Mu Yunqi shook his head with a smile and said, "My husband's mother has passed away a long time ago, she liked me very much when she was alive, I don't know if she would be like this if she is still alive now." As for the other princesses, I haven't had much contact with them, so I don't know if they get along well. After speaking, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "If it is a good thing to hear such a reproach in the royal family, I am afraid that there will be no reproach but I will kill you invisibly, just like I am now, it is a great luck to spare my life for the time being." ”
After listening to this, Yuan's daughter-in-law covered her mouth and looked in the direction of her mother-in-law, indeed in this ordinary family, a little blame is indeed happy.
When they went to the first county to report after leaving the customs, they were checked and confirmed their identities, and when they were about to leave after stamping the register, the prefectural commander stopped them.
"Wait, Princess Qin, please stay"
Mu Yunqi turned around and asked, "My lord, is there anything else?" ”
The county commander hurriedly walked down, came to Mu Yunqi, raised his hands above his head and presented a letter to Mu Yunqi, and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin's letter has arrived here three days ago, and I would like to ask the princess to take a look." ”
Mu Yunqi took the letter and smiled when he saw the familiar handwriting on the envelope, was the letter sent outside the customs for fear that those officials inside the customs would tell him? After all, the Guanwai is governed by the king of Shengjing, who is personally sealed by the imperial court, although the court has the right to speak, but the king of Shengjing here is still in general power, and whether to listen to the orders of the court or not is completely up to the king of Shengjing alone, that is to say, the king of Shengjing in the northeast is a soil emperor, so the officials here do not pat the emperor of the court, and no one will complain to the emperor because of this.
Mu Yunqi opened the letter and looked at the full of longing, and he was so excited that he shed tears of happiness. Situ Jing told her about Situ Leiming again, this little guy is very good at eating, and he grows up fast, there is no way to invite a nurse again, and the two nurses can provide him with food, and now it is placed in the Rui Wangfu, and it has been taken by Princess Rui, she already has two children who are more experienced, Mu Yunqi looked very relieved.
After reading the letter, she wiped her tears and asked the county magistrate: "But there is pen and ink, I want to reply to King Qin." ”
The man hurriedly said, "It's ready." ”
After Mu Yun thanked him, he came to the table used by the master to write a letter.
Brother Jing personally revealed:
I have received your letter, I feel comforted in my heart, I have swept away the haze in my heart for many days, may the thunder be well, may you bother less, and I will be well. I have put some of the medicines prepared by Master in the valley, and there are useful methods attached to them, but I hope you are all right and do not need them.
On the way, I met the Yuan family in Lin'an City, the cute boy in the family often reminds me of thunder, thinking of thundering at night wetting the bed but I misunderstood that you knocked over the water glass, it was really funny.
In addition, I met two robbers you captured, these two were stragglers who were left behind when the king of Chu invaded ancient Yunnan, and I would like to persuade them to be good and continue to serve the court in the future.
I wish you all the best, and may King Rui and Princess Rui be healthy.
Wife Mu Yunqi
Mu Yunqi sealed the envelope and handed it to the county commander: "Lord Lao will help me send it to His Royal Highness King Qin." ”
The county commander hurriedly promised: "I will live up to the princess's trust." ”
Mu Yun got up and walked out of the county yamen, and when she saw that the six messengers at the door, the Yuan clan and the two thieves were waiting for her, she smiled and walked forward in the bright sunshine.
"Let's go, the road ahead is long, we have to continue on our way."
Several people smiled and nodded and turned to move forward, and the confident and high-spirited look looked at the county magistrate behind them and asked, "Are they going to exile, or are they going to find a new life?" ”
The official behind him shook his head and said, "It seems that something good awaits them." ”
The county magistrate glanced at him, then at the group of people walking towards the extremely cold land, shook his head and returned to the yamen.
