Chapter 38: Fighting Back
Ruoshu lay on the bed, Aunt Ren Lan wiped the cold sweat on her face, tears in her eyes, and said, "Aunt Lan, I'm uncomfortable." ”
Aunt Lan handed the soft cloth to Lan Zhi, touched her back one by one, and said, "It's good to pass this paragraph, and bear with it." ”
"But I'm hungry." Ruoshu said.
Lan Xuan hurriedly answered: "There are roast chickens and roast geese in the kitchen, and Xia He also made almond crisp... ”
Ruoshu interrupted her with a retching sound, and Aunt Lan waved her hand.
Lan Zhi glanced at her and said, "That's what you like to eat!" ”
Lan Xuan said in confusion: "The young owner also liked to eat before?" ”
Aunt Lan fed Ruoshu a sip of water, patted her on the back and said, "Slow down first, think about what you want to eat?" Aunt Lan went to find it. ”
Ruoshu thought for a long time and said, "I want to eat something warm, soft, and without oil." ”
Lan Xuan just wanted to open her mouth, but Lan Zhi covered her mouth.
Aunt Lan then asked, "What else?" ”
"It's roasted," Ruoshu said.
After speaking, he gently pouted.
Aunt Lan smiled: "Let's do it." ”
got up and pulled Lan Xuan out of the door, and said, "You go shopping elsewhere, don't quarrel with her." ”
After a while, Aunt Lan brought a few white-flour buns, which were roasted yellow on both sides, and when Ruoshu saw it, her eyes were shining, "That's it, Aunt Lan, how did you guess it?" "I'm going to get up.
Aunt Lan immediately stopped her, fed her in small bites, and after eating one by one, Ruoshu said that she was thirsty.
Aunt Lan looked at her dotingly and said, "Don't drink it now, it's uncomfortable to drink." ”
"Aunt Lan, I still want to eat."
"Obedient, this is the best, and it is uncomfortable to eat too much."
"Aunt Lan, how long will it take to stop feeling uncomfortable?"
"Come on, you take it easy."
Such words lingered in the right courtyard for two months.
In the Xuanwei courtyard, the old lady was lying on the bookcase, copying, and the wooden box opened next to her was full of prescriptions.
Liu's mother was afraid that she wouldn't be able to see it, so she lit a new lamp for her.
The old lady said while writing: "My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and this is the only thing my wife can do." ”
When Mother Liu heard this, she turned her face and held back the tears that came out of her eyes, thinking to herself, the daughter of the Houfu Palace, with a rich dowry, married the grandfather of the country, who was only a viscount at the time, in order to prevent the people in the Qin family's military camp from being scattered everywhere and having a place to settle down, she did not hesitate to scatter her daughter.
After the death of Grandpa Guo, he tried his best to keep the Guogong Mansion and Juntun.
Now in old age, almost alone.
The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, so I wanted to change the atmosphere and said: "The tonic sent by the West Courtyard, the old lady can give it to the young lady, and it doesn't look like it's face." ”
The old lady glanced at her and said, "I don't dare to use it, but I dare to use it for her?" Don't underestimate this recipe, how many years of accumulation, she is knowledgeable. ”
Ruoshu in the right courtyard looked at Aunt Lan's face, and saw her looking at Fang Zi one by one, the expression on her face became more and more surprised, and she felt very curious.
Aunt Lan smiled and said to her: "Yes, yes, how many years, when Mrs. left the Xiao family, I didn't think about it, and I regret it for a while!" I didn't expect the old lady to be more complete here. ”
Ruoshu saw her say this, and continued: "So, I want to give her a gift in return!" ”
Aunt Lan glanced at her and said, "Finally sensible!" ”
Xuan Weitang, the old lady looked at the stack of silver tickets in the box, and said helplessly: "This kid is so real." ”
At this time, Liu's mother walked in and said, "Old lady, the person in charge has already reported the list of sacrifices at home to the young lady." ”
The old lady put down the box and said, "Can she take it?" ”
Liu's mother said: "If you take it, it will still be according to the old practice of the house." ”
The old lady nodded.
In the right courtyard, Ruoshu looked at it with a list, Qin Daochuan was not in the mansion this year, and the old lady decided not to go to Jincheng, but only to worship in the mansion.
Looking at this complicated procedure, Ruoshu subconsciously touched his stomach.
Lan Xuan happened to walk in, and when she saw her like this, she asked, "Shaodong, are you uncomfortable again?" ”
Ruoshu shook his head and asked, "Are you going to Xuanwei Hall again?" ”
"Well, I talked to Cao's mother." Lan Xuan said.
Since Ruoshu was pregnant, Xia He didn't have time to deal with Lan Xuan's various small requests, and Lan Xuan somehow got acquainted with Xuan Weitang's kitchen, and ran there all day long.
Ruoshu naturally knew that the mother Cao in Lan Xuan's mouth was the mother-in-law of the woman who had two lives last time. said: "You have no mouth to cover, it is better to go less." ”
Lan Xuan said: "My mouth is tight! I didn't miss a word. However, Cao's mother is indeed pitiful, her son is now drunk all day long, and he was scolded by the steward yesterday, saying that he would be sent to Zhuangzi if he made another mistake. ”
Ruoshu didn't answer, continued to look at the list, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "A good opportunity to send it to the door, God wants to let her be evil and retribution." ”
beckoned to Lan Xuan to come over, and then whispered a few words in Lan Xuan's ear.
After hearing this, Lan Xuan said, "I'll go to find Cao's mother." ”
Ruoshu called out to her, "Be careful. ”
Lan Xuan echoed and ran out.
Ruoshu looked at the list and always felt that there was something inappropriate.
After dinner, Lan Xuan returned to the right courtyard, and Lan Zhi said that she blindly ran out and asked Ruoshu to punish her.
Lan Xuan didn't defend either, just let her say.
At night, until everyone rested, he quietly climbed to Ruoshu's bed and whispered: "Shaodong, Cao's mother agreed as soon as she heard it, and said that she had no hope of revenge, but now it can be regarded as blood hatred." ”
Ruoshu said: "It's just that there is one more point, if it is sent wrong and hurts the innocent, it will not be good." I have to think again. ”
Lan Xuan said: "Mother Cao said that when the time comes, let her son ask the steward to help bring tea and water, and there will be no mistakes in keeping." ”
Ruoshu and Lan Xuan looked at each other and smiled, and pulled Lan Xuan to sleep next to her.
stared at the top of the bed and said: "I never want to do this kind of thing, but if I don't fight back, I always feel that this resentment in my heart can't come out, and I panic every day." ”
Lan Xuan said: "Buddha cloud, compassionate heart, thunderbolt means. refers to the way to do for heaven, and now we are just cleaning her up for God, and there is nothing that we can't get by. ”
Ruoshu didn't say much, and the two fell asleep.
On the day of the sacrifice, the old lady was in the front row, the prince of Dongfu and the wife of the prince were in the second row, He Shiqing was on the left in the third row, and Ruoshu was on the right, kneeling down in front of the ancestral hall.
The rituals were carried out one by one.
One of them is to worship the grandfather's favorite flat food, and after the offering, the whole family eats it together.
Ruoshu looked at the white dumplings in front of him, the soup was shiny, and he couldn't help retching, which attracted everyone's attention.
He Shiqing squinted and glanced at Ruoshu, thinking that she really couldn't get on the table, such an important occasion was so rude, so she took the flat food, and ate it dignified and elegant, but unfortunately this flat food was really unpalatable, it seemed that some powder was full of drills, and after swallowing it reluctantly, she saw that Ruoshu next to her had not eaten a mouthful, and felt that she was even more superior to her.
The ritual of the sacrifice continued to walk, He Shiqing felt a chill in her back, and she always felt like she was being stared at, and glanced at Ruoshu, seeing that she was slightly closed and sleepy.
I finally managed to finish it, returned to the West Courtyard, and rinsed my mouth several times before I cleaned the powder in my mouth.
