Chapter 51: Fish Soup
The sky was bright.
Huai Shan exclaimed and sat up from the bed.
His chest heaved, and he wiped the back of his neck with his backhand, wet and sweaty.
In this late autumn night, he was so sweaty that nightmares were startled.
Huai Shan climbed out of bed, didn't care whether it was cold or not, lifted the teapot on the table, and grunted to his mouth.
There was only half of the water in the pot, and he drank it all, but he didn't feel enough, and he didn't want to go to the kitchen, so he had to give up.
Lying down again, Huaishan's mind was full of that dream.
Huang Tongju was like crazy, cursing him over and over again, and wanted to die with him.
That's a bit bluffing.
He rubbed his chest, remembering the feeling of being weak and unable to exert his strength in the dream, knowing that it was a dream, but he couldn't wake up......
It was as if something was holding him down......
Yes!
The mother-in-law calls this situation a ghost press!
Thinking of this, Huai Shan hurriedly scolded twice for "bad luck".
Tossing and turning and sleeping for a while, in the end, he was not sure, and when there were some voices outside, he got up.
The family living next door also got up, and the mother-in-law of that family was familiar with the old lady of Huaishan, and she was half an aunt, and when she saw him come out to freshen up, she couldn't help squinting and said, "What did you kid do last night, why is your face so bad?" ”
Huai Shan took a picture of the water in the basin, couldn't see it clearly, and replied vaguely: "I didn't sleep well, it seems that someone came into my house and scolded me." Aunt didn't hear anything in the middle of the night, did she? ”
"What are you talking about, there is no movement," the woman laughed, "in the middle of the night, who doesn't sleep to scold you?" You got drunk last night? Can you be scolded by others and still not talk back? ”
"Yes," Huai Shan nodded thoughtfully, threw the handkerchief, and leaned over to tell him about his situation, "My bones are a little sore, is it really called a ghost pressing the bed?" ”
The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "That's it! ”
Huai Shan's face became more and more ugly.
He was not on duty today, so he stuffed two mouthfuls of breakfast indiscriminately and went out.
On the courtyard wall of Shunping Bo's Mansion, Ebony raised her head, trotted a few steps steadily, and followed.
In the Xi Garden.
Wen Yan squinted and slowed down on the bed for a while.
Smelling the powder is like this, the green plum can only be used to wake up, the veil can't block everything, once you fall asleep on the bed, you are also groggy, and your hands and feet are weak.
The old lady came in to serve, and when she saw that Wen Yan was tired, she just thought that she had rested too late last night.
She was an anxious person, and after leaving the alley last night, she was busy asking about the progress, wondering if the girl had pried open Na Huaishan's mouth.
Wen Yan sold it and asked her to wait patiently for a day.
Sitting in front of the dresser, Wen Yan closed her eyes and recuperated, let the old lady take care of her hair at will, and when she opened her eyes again, she couldn't help laughing when she saw the little maid's look of wanting to ask and hesitating through the mirror.
"Okay, don't worry," Wen Yan said, "That Huaishan is said to have woken up early, and I let Ebon'er keep an eye on him." ”
Only then did the old lady remember that the black cat who followed them to Bofu last night did not come back all night.
The cat was so free that it was often nowhere to be seen, so she didn't see it, and she didn't care at first.
It turned out that Ebony had explained something to the girl.
However, keep track of a big living person......
It shouldn't be a problem.
Ebony is so fine.
The old lady said, "The slave maid will go to the kitchen and ask for two more fish for it, and treat it well." ”
Wen Yan thought for a while and said, "I'll go." ”
Fish soup was stewed on the stove in the big kitchen, which was to replenish Mrs. Gui's body.
Seeing that Wen Yan came to ask for fish, Mama Wu said: "When the soup is served, the rest of the fish bones, fish heads, and slaves and maids will be kept for the girl." ”
Wen Yan thanked him and said, "I'm going to go to the Longevity Hall, and I'll send the fish soup." ”
Mama Wu praised Wen Yan for her filial piety, and hurriedly prepared everything and handed it over to the old lady.
Halfway through the trip, Wen Yan met the little maid who came up to fetch fish soup, and asked the old lady about her condition with a smile.
When he arrived at the Longevity Hall, Qingzhu picked up the curtain and led the warm banquet in.
Old Madam Gui sat on the bed, heard the sound, and glanced at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan fell on the edge of the bed and fed the old lady fish soup with his own hands: "Let me tell you a few things." ”
Mama Liu gave Wen Yan a hand, heard her say so, and whispered: "Girl, the old lady looks quiet, but she is actually confused, if you talk about things, she is afraid that she will ......"
"I said mine, it's okay." Wen Yan said.
Seeing this, Mama Liu naturally didn't persuade her.
Wen Yan was slow and leisurely, and talked to the old lady: "Look at this fish soup, milky white and milky, I heard the kitchen say that the fish are all sea fish sent from Mingzhou, and now the weather is cold, it is not easy to break on the road, and it is still very fresh when it is sent to the house."
You like to eat fish the most, but unfortunately, you are sick, and if you let the fish bones pierce, you will be in trouble.
These days, I can only send you fish soup, and the fish meat is filtered clean, and the fish bones and fish head are a piece of the black cat I raised.
It was the black cat that went back to Tianzhu Shangxiang and tore the murderer's sleeve with one paw when you were in danger.
It's a great hero, so it's not too much to enjoy a few bites of fish.
I'll tell you now, but when you look back, you say that I make my own decisions, and I don't rely on it. ”
Mama Liu listened and forced a smile.
The little girl is the little girl, and she bargains when the old lady wakes up unclear, but she is delicate and soft, and she is not disgusting, but she feels cute.
Wen Yan said again: "Although the murderer was not caught, some progress has been made, and I think the second uncle will be able to detain people soon."
It's just that after so many days, no one has caught all the stolen goods, and if the murderer bites to death, he will not admit it......
Alas, you still have to rely on your grandmother, if you don't make mistakes, the yamen will let you recognize people, and you will be able to point out the murderer!
It's a pity that you have been confused for so many days, and you have really come to your senses, and the yamen does not know whether to believe you or not......"
After Wen Yan finished speaking, the old lady ran out of a bowl of fish soup.
Putting down the bowl, Wen Yan got up and said goodbye.
Mama Liu sent Wen Yan out, and when she returned to the inner room, Old Madam Gui had already lay down, her body was facing inside, and the quilt was kicked to the end of the bed.
She hurriedly tidied up the brocade quilt for the old lady, and as soon as she covered it, she was kicked away by the old lady.
After repeating it three times, Mama Liu had no choice but to cover the old lady's waist and abdomen, and put down the bed curtain lightly.
The light blocked most of the curtain before Mrs. Gui opened her eyes and pursed her lips with an angry face.
Sister Yan is well-behaved, smart, and careful.
Even Mama Liu and Qingzhu didn't see that she was pretending to be crazy and stupid, Wen Yan already knew.
But when this kid wants to be angry, he can really make her angry, and he is a confused person who doesn't eat fish, and the fish is given to the cat.
Oh, her wife, Mrs. Hou, do you still want to go with a cat to grab fish to eat?
She also said that she pretended to go down again, and then suddenly woke up, and the yamen did not accept her testimony.
Hum!
She wants to see if she really talks about the case, who dares not to believe her!
In the afternoon, the Cao family sent Mama Hu to the palace.
Mama Hu happily reported to Wen Zifu: "The old lady got up from a nap, and she saw that she was much clearer and clearer, and she could recognize people. ”
Wen Zifu was excited: "Really? ”
"Seriously, seriously!" Mama Hu said, "The third old man went to visit the old lady, and talked for a while, the third old man said, the old lady is a little vague about the past two years, but she remembers the old things, the doctor said, day by day will be better than the day, maybe tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, everything will be remembered clearly." ”
