Mei'er swallowed her saliva and said: "In the afternoon six days ago, Mama Cui came to find the slave and maid, asked the slave and maid to shut up, no matter what she saw, don't say a word, she also gave the slave and maid a silver ticket of five hundred taels, and let the slave and maid go home...... He also said that in a few days, she would go to help the slave and maid ask for a favor and release the slave and maid's slave status. ”

Mei'er was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look directly at Chu Qianchen.

Five hundred taels, she can't save so much silver when she is a lifelong errand.

Therefore, she was moved at the moment, thinking that with so much silver, she could buy a few acres of fertile land, and then find an honest man to marry, and in the future, her children will be good citizens.

Mei'er lowered her face slightly, and then said, "The slave and maid will respond." ”

"Mama Cui asked the slave maid to pretend to be sick and come home first, and told the slave maid to buy more food, not to go out these days, saying that when she finished the matter, she would come to the slave and maid."

The slave listened to her and did not move an inch.

Mei'er asked the housekeeper for leave, bought a lot of food, and planned to stay at home these days.

But it didn't take long for her to suddenly start having a nosebleed, which she thought was too dry at first, but then it got worse and worse.

Slaves and maids who serve people like them, where can they afford to see a doctor, from childhood to adulthood, but whenever they are sick, they rely on boiling, what kind of wind and cold fever, stay up for a few more days, and the illness will naturally be cured, Mei'er originally thought that this time would be the same, and her body would get better in a few days, but it turned out to be getting worse day by day...... When she found out that she might not be able to stay up, she was so sick that she didn't even have the strength to go out to find a doctor.

When Chu Qianchen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, Mei'er hadn't been out in the past few days, so this matter would be easy to do.

Thinking that Mama Cui also knew the seriousness of the "Seven Days of Fu", so she coaxed Mei'er to let her not go out, so as not to spread the disease and cause an uncontrollable disaster.

Mei'er in the previous life should have died quietly in the "Seven Days".

She is just a rough little maid of the Hou Mansion, insignificant, not to mention, at this time in the previous life, the entire Hou Mansion was immersed in the grief of Chu Yunmu's untimely death, and no one cared about the death of the little maid at all.

Chu Qianchen asked sharply: "Last time, you told me that you saw the big girl in the rockery, but why did Mama Cui come to you and seal your mouth?" ”

"The slave doesn't know." Mei'er shook her head blankly.

She really doesn't know!

Chu Qianchen stared into Mei'er's eyes, and then asked, "What did you see that day?" Tell me in detail. ”

Mei'er said tremblingly: "That day, the slave maid happened to be sweeping by the lake, and I saw the eldest girl walking by the rockery on the other side of the lake from a distance......

"Are you sure it's the big girl, can you see clearly?" Chu Qianchen asked again.

"This ......," Mei'er tried to remember the scene, "the slave saw only her back at that time, and didn't see the man's face clearly, but she was dressed like the big girl, and she was wearing a fiery red gown......"

Chu Qianchen nodded and motioned for her to continue.

Mei'er continued: "The slave didn't care at the time, so she continued to clean, and after a while, I saw the fourth young master climbing the rockery alone, going to pick up paper kites, the slave and maid only thought that the fourth young master was with the eldest girl, so she didn't go over, and then, the fourth young master fell off the rockery......"

Thinking of the scene at that time, Meier was still a little shocked.

Chu Qianchen pondered for a moment, and then asked, "A few days ago, Mama Chen came to see you, right?" Did you tell her that you didn't see anything? ”

Mei'er became more and more ashamed, and nodded, "The slave regrets it......"

After saying this, the spirit that Mei'er had just lifted was suddenly discharged again, and she leaned weakly against the pillow behind her.

Asked everything that should be asked, Chu Qianchen didn't speak again, she walked to the window, pushed open the window, and wisps of cool breeze blew in from the window, blowing away the blood and death in the room.

There was silence in the room, until Amber returned, steaming hot with a freshly fried potion.

Chu Qianchen motioned to Amber to put the decoction on the bedside, and after Amber returned, she said to Mei'er, "Drink the medicine." ”

Merr struggled to sit up from the couch, her white tunic still stained with undried blood, haggard and embarrassed.

She held the decoction with trembling hands, and the thick fragrance of the medicine poured into her nostrils, bringing hope for life.

The bitter decoction ran down her throat and into her abdomen, and it didn't take long for Mei'er to feel warm on her body, and even her cold limbs gradually warmed up, as if she had been pulled back from the ghost gate.

"Second girl......"

After putting down the empty medicine bowl, Mei'er looked up at Chu Qianchen by the window, Chu Qianchen was wearing a hat on her head, and the cyan veil hanging around the hat blocked her face, the spring breeze gently brushed the veil, and the veil danced with it, faintly seeing the delicate half of the girl's face behind the veil.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on her face, her eyes and teeth, her eyebrows and lips, and even the peach blossoms blooming outside the window were eclipsed, and the girl's complexion was dazzling.

Chu Qianchen said: "You have to drink this recipe for another three days, I will send you medicine every day, here is the pastry that Amber just bought, you eat it first." But you have to remember that you must not leave this room for a single step, do you understand? ”

Her voice was calm, but it sounded like heaven to Mer's ears.

Mei'er knew that only the second girl could save herself, so she nodded again and again: "The slave listens to the girl." ”

She's going to live, she's going to live!

After the things that needed to be done were done, Chu Qianchen didn't stay any longer, and said, "I'll leave first, and I'll come back tomorrow to see you." ”

The rest of the things will wait for Mei'er to get better, let her go and talk to her mother-in-law herself.

This matter not only involves Chu Qianhuang, but also has something to do with Aunt Jiang, and it is inconvenient for me to get involved again.

After leaving the house, Chu Qianchen motioned for Amber to lock the door from the outside, in case Mei'er didn't keep her promise.

The movement here attracted the woman who lived next door to probe her brain and look curiously.

Chu Qianchen commanded Amber, and Amber, who took off her hat, walked over and stuffed the woman with a tael of silver, and instructed, "You are from Wang Dacheng's family, right?" You help me keep an eye on some Mei'er, and if she goes out without permission, she will come to me in the house. ”

That's a tael of silver! Wang Dacheng's eyes lit up in an instant, and he immediately patted his chest and agreed, took the silver and said: "Don't worry, Amber girl, I keep a firm watch, even if King Chen returns to Beijing on the day, I won't go to see the excitement!" ”

Chu Qianchen, who was a few steps away, had a jump in his heart, and interjected and asked, "King Chen is going back to Beijing?" ”

There was a tremor in her voice that even she hadn't noticed.

"Yes, yes!" Wang Dacheng's family nodded again and again, guessing that this girl wearing a hat was nine times out of ten that she was a second girl, and replied diligently, "The imperial court has issued an official document, King Chen has arrived in Jizhou, and he will be able to enter Beijing in three days." I just came back from the front street, and everyone is talking about it. ”
