Chapter Forty-Eight: Illness Comes Like a Mountain
The New Year is approaching, the inventory of "treasure incense" inside and outside the capital is urgent, and they are asking for goods, Mu Ningxuan has to bite the bullet, make incense in the wine cellar all night day and night, and after it is made, it will be shipped out directly through the secret passage in the wine cellar.
Because of Lan Yuexuan's matter, Mu Ningxuan was quite bored, and the incense making was always out of place, not only was the incense making much slower, but also cost a lot of spices.
Aunt Su was anxious in her eyes, and the Queen Mother deliberately left her by Mu Ningxuan's side before she went, just to make her Mu Ningxuan's confidant, but at the moment, Mu Ningxuan obviously didn't trust her enough.
Before leaving the palace, Aunt Su had already heard about the affairs of the inner house in the Mu Mansion, and what she heard and saw in the Mu Mansion during this time, even if Mu Ningxuan didn't say anything to her, Aunt Su probably guessed seven or eight points.
In the past few days when I returned to Mufu, Mother Liu was not there, and there were only three girls around Mu Ningxuan who could really be used: Xiaofu, Yutang, and Qiumo.
Qiu Mo is the oldest and steady; Xiaofu is honest and sincere; It's also that Yutang is smarter and more clever.
But the three girls are not very old, and they are not very thoughtful, so they can't help Mu Ningxuan with advice at all. At this time, Mu Ningxuan was a follower to Guo Xiaoniang, and Aunt Su was also helpless.
After staying up for four or five days in a row, even if she made up for sleep during the day, Mu Ningxuan's body still didn't hold up, and the illness came like a mountain, Mu Ningxuan only felt that she had a headache and a sore throat, she had no strength at all, and she couldn't open her eyes.
"What's wrong with the county lord? What's uncomfortable? Seeing that Mu Ningxuan's face was blushing terribly, Xiaofu hurriedly stepped forward and touched Mu Ningxuan's forehead, "County Lord, you have a fever, hurry up and lie down." ”
Mu Ningxuan said in a daze: "It's so hot." ”
Xiaofu hurriedly took off Mu Ningxuan's coat, helped Mu Ningxuan lie down on the bed, and called Yutang to go out to find the doctor.
I don't know how long it took, Mu Ningxuan woke up and opened her eyes, and saw her third sister Mu Ningjia sitting on the edge of the bed with red eyes, holding a cold handkerchief that had been watered in her hand and was about to put it on her forehead.
"Sister Xuan, are you awake?" Mu Ningjia said with concern.
Mu Ningxuan smiled and said, "Silly sister, what are you crying about, it's just a fever." ”
Mu Ningjia rubbed her eyes and whispered, "I didn't cry." After speaking, he stood up and called Xiaofu to bring the ginger soup hot.
Xiaofu brought porridge and ginger soup over on a tray.
"Sister Xuan, drink some ginger soup and use some porridge." As she spoke, Mu Ningjia gently helped Mu Ningxuan up, stuffed the soft pillow behind Mu Ningxuan, and let Mu Ningxuan lean on.
Mu Ningxuan also felt a little hungry, after drinking ginger soup and eating half a bowl of porridge, she felt warm in her stomach, her head didn't hurt anymore, and she had some strength.
Seeing that it was dark outside, Mu Ningxuan asked, "Third sister, how long have I been sleeping?" ”
"It's been almost three hours." Mu Ningjia said.
Mu Ningxuan said to Mu Ningjia: "Thank you third sister for taking care of me, I'm fine now, it's getting dark, third sister, you should go back early, so as not to worry Aunt Lan." ”
"My sister helped us a lot a few days ago, and my sister didn't know how to reciprocate. Sister Na Xuan sleep a little longer, rest more, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow morning. ”
After Mu Ningjia went out, Mu Ningxuan called Xiaofu over and asked her about what happened after she fell asleep during the day.
"Back to the county lord, when Yutang went to ask for a doctor, he happened to meet Steward Cao, and Steward Cao immediately went to report to Hou Ye, and after a while, Hou Ye and Guo Xiaoniang came over together.
The third girl knew that you had a fever when she came to deliver the sachets, so she took the initiative to stay and stayed with us for more than two hours. Xiaofu said truthfully.
Mu Ningxuan nodded: "Third sister, she has a heart." ”
