Chapter 373: Onset
Because the granddaughter who was in Ming'er's heart was about to come, the smile on the corner of the old lady of Pingguo's mouth had never gone down since she hit her face.
The old lady took a nap at noon, and the green warbler helped the old lady comb her hair in front of the dressing mirror, and suddenly heard the old lady chattering there, and I didn't know if the two children were used to living in the house at that time.
Lu Ying smiled, and gently combed the old lady of Pingguo into a hair at the back, and said softly: "There is such an old lady in the house who loves the cousin and the young master, and I think the two cousins and cousins must be able to feel the old lady's love for them." With the warmth of family, the Pingguo Mansion is naturally the home of the cousin and the young master. How can you not get used to the first days at home? ”
This man is old, no matter how just and sensible, he is more or less always fond of listening to good words.
The old lady of Pingguo heard that the corners of her mouth curled higher and higher, but she also said angrily: "Just your mouth, it's like smearing honey." ”
Lu Ying smiled, and helped the old lady of Pingguo insert a jade hairpin, holding a target glass, adjusting it left and right, and reflecting the appearance of the old lady's hair on the back of her head in the dressing mirror in front of her.
Probably under the influence of Fang Hanniang, the old lady of Pingguo became more and more fond of wearing some jade and other ornaments.
The old lady nodded with satisfaction and praised the green warbler: "If you talk about dexterity, the green warbler in the room is still the most powerful." ”
The green warbler said "oops" and quipped: "Old lady, you are roasting the slave and maid on the fire, and when the slave and maid are on duty, you must invite the sisters to have a good meal, and explain next to each other that it is the old lady lifting the slave and maid, which is not true." ”
The old lady laughed.
The atmosphere in the Fleur Hall is very relaxed.
In the evening, Fang Hanniang came to the main hall for dinner, but found that the atmosphere in the main hall was very poor, and the old lady was anxiously instructing the green warbler to open the warehouse.
There was a mother-in-law kneeling at the bottom of the hall, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she looked very anxious.
Fang Hanniang recognized that mother-in-law, who was a very capable housekeeper under the second lady of Erfang An.
Fang Hanniang's mind was racing.
The green warbler hurriedly greeted Fang Hanniang, and her voice was a little hurried: "Girl, the slave maid will go to open the warehouse, and the old lady will trouble the girl." ”
Fang Hanniang nodded.
In addition to anxiety and worry, there was also a deep exhaustion in the corners of the eyes of the old lady of Pingguo, Fang Hanniang was afraid that the old lady would not be able to carry it for a while, so she hurriedly stepped forward and sat down next to the old lady, poured a cup of hot tea for the old lady with her own hands, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, don't worry, what happened?" ”
The old lady of Pingguo sighed, and the furrows at the corners of her eyes and mouth became more and more obvious: "Your fifth cousin is sick, and your second aunt and mother called this mother-in-law to come over and ask me to borrow a thousand-year-old ginseng." ”
The old lady of Pingguo has a thousand-year-old ginseng here, and Fang Hanniang knows it.
In fact, the old lady has a total of two thousand-year-old ginseng plants here.
When Fang Hanniang first came, the old lady gave her a century-old ginseng to make up for her body, what others didn't know was that the thousand-year-old ginseng, the old lady also wanted to secretly stuff it to Fang Hanniang without registering, as something in her private library, but Fang Hanniang resolutely refused, and only accepted the century-old ginseng.
When Fang Hanniang heard that Second Mrs. An actually asked her mother-in-law to come over to borrow ginseng, and saw that her grandmother, who had always thought that Ruan Chubai was not able to make up for it, also gave it, she knew that Ruan Chubai's illness was very serious.
The green warbler held the brocade box in her arms and hurried back.
The mother-in-law in the second room hurriedly kowtowed to the old lady of Pingguo and took the brocade box.
The old lady's face was full of worry: "The news from the second room, you have to reply in time." ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly responded, got up with the brocade box, and hurried away.
Fang Hanniang's face also showed a somewhat solemn look.
The meaning of the old lady's words, it seems that Ruan Chubai's condition is a little more ferocious than she imagined.
Fang Hanniang couldn't help but ask, "Fifth cousin's illness this time...... Dangerous? ”
The old lady sighed and said worriedly, "...... I have been burning for three days today, and the fever has not subsided. I heard that your second uncle took your uncle's name card to the palace in the afternoon and invited the imperial doctor to come over. The Imperial Doctor said...... There is no room for optimism. ”
Fang Hanniang's face turned pale.
Although she didn't have much contact with Ruan Chubai, she suddenly heard it now, and her heart was still uncomfortable.
It seems that Ruan Chubai's illness this time is really dangerous.
The old lady of Pingguo's face was even more tired, and she looked like she was a few years older: "...... The thousand-year-old ginseng is not a symptomatic medicine, but it is just used to hang Bai'er's life. ”
It's got to the point where you need to hang yourself......
The old lady of Pingguo had tears in her eyes, but she had lived for such a long time, and she had never been willing to take precautions for sadness, she took a deep breath and said: "My descendants of the Ruan family have been fighting horses all their lives, and what they believe in is perseverance. Although Bai Er has never been tempered due to physical reasons, he is also a descendant of the Ruan family, and he has the blood of the ancestors of the Ruan family in his body, so he will definitely be fine this time, and he will definitely be able to survive! ”
The old lady said in a solemn tone as if she was cheering herself up.
It's just that her hand firmly grasping the armrest of the chair is trembling uncontrollably.
Fang Hanniang comforted her a few words, but the old lady of Pingguo was always sad.
Fang Hanniang simply got up and called Xiaoya to take the cloak over: "Grandmother, I'll go to Cousin Bai to see the situation." ”
The old lady of Pingguo was stunned.
You know, it is very unlucky to stay with someone who is dying. Generally, it is the people who are close to the top to guard the dying person, and others will generally hide far away when they encounter this kind of thing, for fear of being stained with the slightest bit of dead man's bad luck.
At the moment, although the old lady didn't want to admit that her grandson might die at any time, she was still very moved when she saw Fang Hanniang stand up so recklessly.
It's just that the granddaughter is a daughter after all, and the eight characters are weak, and they are easy to be touched by evil things. The old lady of Pingguo has 10,000 people in her heart who don't want her granddaughter to encounter such a thing.
However, before the old lady of Pingguo could speak, Fang Hanniang said easily: "Grandmother, rest assured, cousin Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely save the day...... Didn't my grandmother say that I had always been blessed? Maybe my cousin's illness will be cured in this blessed past? ”
The corners of the old lady's eyes moistened.
She turned her back on her face, unwilling to let her granddaughter see her vulnerability.
A lot of people are old, who would want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person......
Kong Chuhua died before, it was an illegitimate child who was not recognized, although the old lady of Pingguo felt uncomfortable in her heart, but after all, she had no feelings, and her cognition of that child was just a name, and she didn't feel much.
The person who is on the verge of life and death at the moment is her grandson, who has worried about her grandson since she was a child......
When Fang Hanniang saw the old lady like this, her heart was also uncomfortable, and she said quickly: "I'm going to the second room." After giving the green warbler a look to take care of the old lady, he hurriedly led Xiaoya out of the door.
After a long time, the old lady of Pingguo turned her face with tears and muttered to Lu Ying: "My good girl, my heart is really good......
Lu Ying agreed: "On weekdays, looking at the gentle and gentle appearance of the cousin girl who rejects outsiders thousands of miles away, you see that Miss An has never been able to get the blue eyes of the cousin...... The slave maid thought that the cousin was cold. After a long period of contact, I found out that in fact, my cousin's heart is really soft and very ......"
The old lady of Pingguo sighed deeply, looking at the table full of dishes on the other side of the banquet room, and lost a trace of appetite.
She thought that Fang Hanniang had not eaten and hurried to the second room, and sighed again in her heart.
……
It's completely dark outside, but it's snowing these days, and a lot of snow has piled up all around, and under the reflection of the snow, there is still a little bit of bright color.
A little maid in front of her carried a big yellow lantern and showed Fang Hanniang the way.
When she turned the moon gate of the second room, Fang Hanniang saw a group of people coming over on the path next to her, and the little maid led by her was also wearing a yellow and clear lantern.
If you look at it again, it is the Lord of Anping.
Fang Hanniang hurriedly greeted An Pingweng.
Seeing that Fang Hanniang was also wearing a cloak and snow, it seemed that he had come from Fuyuan Hall, and took the initiative to step forward and ask in a low voice: "Are you going to the second room?" ……”
Fang Hanniang nodded: "The mother-in-law next to the second aunt went to my grandmother to borrow thousand-year-old ginseng, I see that my grandmother is very worried, so I came to visit my cousin for her." ”
"I took some rare herbs from the dowry and saw if the fifth brother could use them." Lord Anping Weng whispered, and finally sighed again, wrapped his cloak in his hand, took Fang Hanniang's arm, and made a group of people in two groups, and went to the second room together.
Fang Hanniang and Lord Anping Weng looked very solemn, and they didn't have much heart to chat, and soon, they entered Ruan Chubai's small courtyard along the corridor of the second room.
From the courtyard, you can see that the room is very bright, there are a few figures standing there all the time, and there is a man walking back and forth, I think it is the second master Ruan.
Although the owner of Anping Weng here is the daughter of the inner house of the big house, the big house and the second room have not been separated, and there is not so much attention to the family, so the owner of Anping Weng directly entered the house with Fang Hanniang's hand.
This is a suite with layers of screens as a partition.
As soon as I entered the room, I could faintly hear the voice of the second lady An urging the imperial doctor anxiously.
Second Master Ruan saw Fang Hanniang and Lord Anping, so he naturally knew why they came.
Second Master Ruan seems to be a twilight man who is dying of old age all of a sudden, probably the only sister-in-law's serious illness has hit him too hard.
His voice was a little hoarse and choked: "You guys are here?" ”
Lord Anping Weng hurriedly saluted: "Second uncle, my nephew and daughter-in-law have some rare medicinal materials here, I will go and show them to the imperial doctor to see if there is any help for the fifth cousin's illness." ”
