Chapter 68: The Full Moon
After the diagnosis was finished, Qin Daochuan was not in a hurry to go back, and said to Ruoshu: "Madam, it's hard to get out of the city, it's better to look around, and it's better to relax." ”
Ruoshu got up, and Qin Daochuan hurriedly helped him.
Ruo Shufu looked at the green leaves carefully, smelled it, and asked, "What flowers have a hint of coolness in their fragrance?" ”
Xu Qiantong said: "What you smell is the mint I just grinded, and the flowers in my medicine garden are not very fragrant, and you can't smell them if you don't get closer." ”
Qin Daochuan said: "Coriander Tong, every time I come, I only see you alone, where are the others?" ”
Xu Qiantong said: "I have never been alone here, how can anyone else say." ”
Ruoshu finally glanced up at him.
Qin Daochuan said: "What about the citrus fruit when I was in the academy before? ”
Xu Qiantong said: "He is married and works as a steward in the house. ”
Qin Daochuan said again: "What about you? When are you going to get married? ”
Xu Qiantong said: "Let it be. ”
Ruoshu listened and felt his intention to send off the guest, so he said: "Now that the consultation is over, why don't we go back!" so as not to disturb the tranquility of the master's house. ”
He asked Xu Qiantong: "Thank you Imperial Doctor Xu for seeing the Lu family, and the consultation fee will be sent to your mansion after that." ”
Xu Qiantong replied: "Madame is polite, and she has not prescribed medicine, so she does not need a consultation fee." ”
Ruoshu replied: "Then the Lu clan has thanked you." ”
Xu Qiantong arched his hand.
After walking a few steps, Ruoshu turned his head, looked at Xu Qiantong, and said, "Lu's pregnancy with twins, can you ask Imperial Doctor Xu to keep it a secret?" ”
After speaking, he looked at him intently, his eyes were unpredictable.
Xu Qiantong listened and said: "When Mrs. gave birth, Xu knew about it. ”
Ruoshu gave him a deep salute.
Supported by Qin Daochuan, he went out of the hospital.
In the days to come, because Ruoshu couldn't leave the house, Xia Lian still sent the wooden box containing Ruoshu's letters and accounts the day before to Lu Siye, the current shopkeeper.
After Aunt Lan's incident, Ruoshu asked Xia Lian to take her own carriage in and out, escorted by Sanjiu and Jiaosu, on this day, Xia Lian sat in the car, smelled the familiar smell, and said: "Shenjiu, stop at the old place, I'll go buy some jujube cake." Before he could finish speaking, Kakusu got out of the carriage, and in the blink of an eye, he had already handed the things into the carriage.
Sam Jiu looked at him deeply, but Kakusu did not squint and looked ahead.
Back in the stable, after Shen Jiu waited for Xia Lian to enter, he said to Jiaosu: "I really can't see it, you will do this." ”
Kakusu replied coldly: "Before the boss got married, we didn't care about marriage. ”
Sanjiu pursed his lips and said softly: "By then, the daylily will be cold." ”
After a few more days, He Shiqing finally had a full moon, the left courtyard was full of friends, and Qin Daochuan was sitting next to Prime Minister He.
He Shiqing dressed up carefully and recuperated for a month, her face was ruddy, her figure was also much richer, she looked like a rich young woman, listening to everyone's flattery in the courtyard, looking at the child in the hands of the nurse, she seemed to be smiling.
Wen finally seized the opportunity, sat down in front of her, and said: "Seeing that you look much better now, I am finally relieved, otherwise, when I think of the merchant girl who has not stopped, I will hold my breath for you." ”
He Shiqing listened, but said lightly: "For me? I'm afraid it's not for you to hold your breath, right? ”
Wen Shi was not angry, and said: "You and I are so close, if you want to say that I am not happy in my heart, it is natural, if your son takes over this country's mansion, I have nothing to say, because you are worthy, that merchant girl, is she worthy?" It will only lower the lintel of Grandpa Guo, even if the old lady in Xuanwei Hall brings her son with her now, it will not be much higher. ”
He Shiqing said: "It's a pity, I only gave birth to a daughter. ”
Wen said: "Exactly, how can it be so unfortunate. ”
He Shiqing continued: "Chuanlang has been haunted by what happened last time, and now he is a lot more distant from me, and I also have a hard time!" ”
Wen Shi was shocked: "Which thing?" ”
He Shiqing said: "What else is there between you and me? ”
Wen Shi hurriedly said: "You won't be stupid enough to tell him about unfounded things, right?" ”
He Shiqing said: "The old slave and maid died in the yard over there, Chuan Lang insisted that it was related to me, who do you say I should talk to?" ”
Seeing that he wasn't talking about the well, Wen said lightly: "This is the general's fault, how can he spew blood?" ”
He Shiqing said: "Cousin, you are always very well-informed, but what rumors did you hear, so that I and Chuan Lang could clear up this grievance?" ”
Wen said curtly: "You also think too highly of me, how can I know such a thing?" ”
He Shiqing clicked to the end, no longer mentioned it, and instead said: "Let him be!" Why hasn't Mother come today? ”
Wen said: "The concubine must have something to keep her, it must be for your reward, my sister is really a blessing, and she has won the favor of the concubine." ”
He Shiqing said: "That's natural, we are cousins, with the same surname and the same ancestry, so we are different from others. ”
When Wen heard this, he had to laugh and say, "That's, that's." ”
He Shiqing thought to herself, most of the slave's death was related to this Wen family, how could others think about a half-old woman in the right courtyard.
I made up my mind to talk to Qin Daochuan.
When the guests dispersed in the evening, He Shiqing asked Dark Xiang to invite Qin Daochuan.
I reapplied the fat powder, changed into an elegant outfit, looked at the pretty woman in the mirror, He Shiqing said to herself: "Chuanlang, isn't mine much stronger than that one now?" ”
Qin Daochuan entered the wing room, saw He Shiqing's dress, and couldn't help but think of the last time he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When He Shiqing saw him coming, he said politely: "Chuanlang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I see that you have lost some weight, but you are tired for a while?" ”
Qin Daochuan replied: "It's normal for the weather to be hot and have a poor appetite. ”
After He Shiqing waited for the dark incense to send the tea and withdrew, he said: "Chuanlang, I got a news today, and I finally understood what happened to Chuanlang's thunder and anger last time, thinking that he had suffered such a big grievance in vain, so he couldn't sit still, so he invited Chuanlang to come and tell the truth." ”
When Qin Daochuan heard this, he said, "Let's hear it." ”
He Shiqing said: "It's still Dongfu, although Shiqing can't guess how she acted, but this matter is undoubtedly what she did." ”
Qin Daochuan said: "How are you sure that she did this? ”
He Shiqing said: "Because I know her, she will do anything for the position of Mrs. Shizi." There have always been rumors in the market that there is a secret recipe for giving birth to a child in the right courtyard, so that she can ask for a child and have a child, and she also gives birth one after another. ”
Qin Daochuan said: "It sounds credible, but how can I be sure that you are not to blame her?" ”
He Shiqing said aggrievedly: "I know that I have lost my share in Chuanlang's eyes since the beginning, but I have only done this one wrong thing in my life, and I don't regret it." The rest, I didn't do it, I naturally can't, and I don't want to bear this wrong. ”
Qin Daochuan said: "I believe you for the time being, but you also have to take some vouchers out and wash them thoroughly." ”
He Shiqing said: "As long as Chuanlang is willing to believe me, I will naturally work hard to find evidence and clear my innocence." ”
After speaking, he moved the lotus step lightly and sat down beside Qin Daochuandi.
Qin Daochuan said: "I still have military affairs in the front yard, so I won't stay much, you have just come out of the moon, so you should recuperate." ”
After saying that, he got up and walked away quickly.
He Shiqing sat there, twisting the silk scarf in her hand, her eyes full of hatred.
Ruoshu stayed in the right courtyard every day, and after breakfast and lunch, Lan Zhi would support her and walk slowly in the courtyard.
It started to rain in the morning this day, Ruoshu could only walk around in the small wings, Lan Xuan looked at her, and couldn't help but say: "If you are in Qingzhou, a room is bigger than the right courtyard, and if you walk a few more rooms every day, the number of steps is enough, and now, you have to turn around before you take three steps." ”
Ruoshu looked at her and didn't make a sound.
Lan Zhi continued: "I remember that you took the piece of paper and wanted to stay in the capital. Now that I can't forget Qingzhou, haven't you changed your mind? ”
Lan Xuan was teased by her, no matter how thick her face was, she couldn't talk about it, so she could only blush, and said, "I'm afraid Xia He's soup is going to be better, I'll take a look." ”
Ruoshu waited for her to go out, looked at Lan Zhi and said, "Say that others are fast-talking, what about yourself, can you think about it?" ”
Lan Zhi said: "I'm not yet twenty! ”
At this time, there was a word outside, and the eldest lady and the eldest son came over.
When Ruoshu heard this, she asked Lan Zhi to help her lie down, and Xianya and Zhongzhan came to the door, and saw Ruoshu leaning on the soft couch, with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.
Because there is little rain in the capital, Xianya usually sits in the courtyard, rarely can enter the wing, come in today, at a glance to see the Babu bed that occupies half of the room, the Nanzhu on the curtain is huge and strung there, gently swinging in front of the azure bed as thin as cicada wings, the same color of the tent is tied with the same Nanzhu made of Ruyi, I thought in my heart, I didn't pay attention to it a few times before, or is it new?
There was no incense in the room, but there was a fruity scent, and there were some other light woody scents.
The house is full of Huanghuali furniture around the wall, from the high cabinet to the low table, all of which reveal a luxurious atmosphere.
I thought of the pine furniture in my house, and I thought of my grandmother's words: a noble house, not heavy on clothing, not heavy on luxury, self-cultivation, and self-righteousness.
Why is it so uncomfortable to sit here today? Mother since that time she refused jewelry and dresses, has never given her a thing, sitting in this room, because of the outside of the room, stuffy, the back of her cotton yarn liner has begun to sweat, inadvertently see Lan Zhi, the body is actually made of kudzu yarn clothes, and then see lying there Ruoshu, the body of the yarn is silk, thin, soft, at a glance is very refreshing, she is her daughter, the only daughter, she never thought of preparing some for her, the more she thought about it, the more angry she was, she said:" Since my mother was sleeping peacefully, she was not good for a long time, so Lan Zhi told her mother that I would go back first. ”
After speaking, he turned around and went out, and wanted to call him with Zhong Zhan's people, so that he could turn back together, who knew that Zhong Zhan was having fun with Lan Xuan, and he didn't want to go, so he asked her to go first, Xian Ya couldn't, so he could only return to Xuan Weitang alone.
When the old lady saw that she was the only one to turn around, she asked Zhong Zhan, Xian Ya was in a bad mood, and said: "Lan Xuan in the mother's courtyard always pulls Zhong Zhan and doesn't let him come back." ”
When the old lady heard this, she was not happy, so she said: "Mother Liu, go and pick up the eldest son, and by the way, call Lan Xuan to come and talk back." ”
Ruoshu wanted to pretend to be asleep, but who knew that he leaned there, but he felt tired and fell asleep.
When she woke up, Lan Zhi said to her: "Mother Liu in the old lady's courtyard just called Lan Xuan over, mostly because the eldest son likes to play with her. ”
When Ruoshu heard this, he said, "Go to Xuanwei Hall." ”
When Ruoshu sat on the soft chair and arrived at Xuanwei Hall, Lan Xuan had been kneeling there for a long time, and the old lady still reprimanded herself.
Seeing Ruoshu coming in with a big belly, he said, "I just asked her to ask, so you hurried over, it rained and the road was slippery today, why wouldn't you be careful." ”
Ruoshu gave a gentle salute, sat down, and said, "I heard that Lan Xuan made a big mistake, and I was afraid that she would bump into the old lady, so I rushed over to take a look, lest she lose her sense of proportion." ”
The old lady said, "Rush me? I haven't found out that she has the guts, but the rules of this slave are really not good at learning, and there is no reserve of a girl's family, I heard that Zhong Zhan plays with her every time, and it is full of little daughter's things. ”
Ruoshu said: "If the old lady is not allowed, she will not play in the future, and Zhongzhan will come to ask for peace in the future, and Lan Xuan will not be allowed to leave the house." ”
Lan Xuan listened, and hurriedly lowered her head and replied: "Yes, young lady." ”
The old lady listened and said to Lan Xuan: "I ask you, you reply one sentence of ten sentences, she says one sentence, and you answer very quickly." ”
Ruoshu said: "Her rules are not good, but she grew up with me, and she has a childhood friendship, so she is more tolerant of her, and she must learn the rules well in the future. ”
The old lady said: "I always remember that there is a slave in your courtyard whose name has a word in her name that collides with my Xuanweitang, but I always forget to tell you, and now it seems that it is her." ”
Ruoshu said: "This Xuan character is her real name, not by me, and it is not easy for her to change, but she has already booked someone, only because I am pregnant, I have not returned to Qingzhou for a long time, if the old lady cares, I will let her return to Qingzhou tomorrow." ”
The old lady said: "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't want to be emotional, just wait for you to give birth, and then let her go, but in front of Zhongzhan, she must not appear." ”
Ruoshu replied: "Yes, Mrs. Xie is compassionate. ”
After saying that, he got up and left.
After the old lady waited for them to leave, she said, "According to the month, this belly is too big." ”
Liu's mother replied: "Exactly, I'm afraid that I will give birth when the time comes... The old lady glared back at the rest of the words.
