Chapter 38: The Flower Hall Triage
Manager Zhao obviously didn't know what was going on here, and immediately panicked, "Come on!" Someone fell overboard. ”
As soon as the words fell, several figures suddenly rushed in, poofed twice, and instantly fished people up.
"Quick, find a few strong mothers and send the county lord to Xifang Zhai."
The person who was surrounded by everyone, trembling in Zhao Yuhong's big clothes, who else could there be besides the county lord of Anning?
Duanmuhe's voice was calm, but it was a little dignified, making people feel as if they were suppressed by a powerful aura.
Duanmu Cang's face was also pale, after all, this incident happened in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, if there is a problem with Anning, no matter what the reason is to fall into the water, the Yongding Marquis Mansion will definitely suffer.
The Li family, the Lin family, and the Zhou family only heard the news at this time, and hurried over, and hurriedly ordered people to ask for a doctor, boil hot water, prepare clothes, boil ginger soup, and make a mess.
"It's time for me to go down and sing and sing and sing." Duanmu Qing's voice was so calm that there was no tone, as if this was a normal thing.
"Shouldn't you even thank me for my help?" Han Lingyan only felt a little annoyed in his heart, but the words he said were tinged with banter.
"You have taken me captive like this, and you really have found no place to help me."
"If you show up just now, and everyone sees you arguing with An Ning in Guanglu Xuan, I'm afraid that you won't be able to speak clearly at this time!"
Turning his face, he glanced at him obliquely, and then turned his face to look ahead, a little indifferent to his taste, "Do you think I seem like someone who fell into their hands so easily?" ”
I have to admit that her words that sound very arrogant are the truth, but she felt very unhappy inexplicably, and couldn't help but scold: "You are a woman, why do you want to be so powerful?" ”
"I won't help you next time, my kindness is not rewarded!" Saying this, Han Lingyan brought Duanmu Qing back to the ground.
"I also hope that the eldest prince will change this habit of being too enthusiastic." Coldly dropping a sentence, Duanmu Qing turned around and left.
Leaving someone angry, what does it mean to be overzealous, except this time when did he meddle? A hint of coldness slowly condensed on his lips.
At this time, it is the most lively moment in many years, and the maids and women who come and go are shuttled, and the front hall that has always been rarely visited is full of distinguished guests.
The people who were used to being lazy and carrying Fang Zhai were in good spirits at this time, and they were fighting to tea and water on the ground.
In the guest room in the backyard, several pots of charcoal fires were carried over, and it was warm, and there were many people guarding the bedside, but the whole room was so quiet that a pin could be heard.
The imperial doctor who had just arrived non-stop was checking An Ning's pulse, sometimes stalking, sometimes frowning, and the faces of the people behind the screen changed with his actions, except for Duanmu Qing standing in the corner.
From the time she fell into the water to when she was picked up, this period of time was not too long, and she was wearing a cotton dress with the characteristics of the palace lady in winter, so she would definitely not really hurt her vitality, but she just suffered a little, so Duanmuqing was not in a hurry at all.
Sure enough, after a while, Imperial Physician Zhang said: "The county lord is fine, the main thing is that it is cold, in order to prevent colds, it is better to sleep well, have a fever, and drink some ginger soup after a while." ”
Hearing this, the ladies of the Yongding Marquis Mansion all breathed a sigh of relief, and the little servants brought by Duanmuhe hurriedly came in to send Imperial Doctor Zhang out.
At this time, the old lady and Duanmu Jun rushed over, and when they heard that the county lord of Anning was fine, they were relieved.
Duanmuhe walked up to Duanmujun and whispered a few words.
Duanmu Jun's face was stunned, then he nodded, and helped the old lady and said, "Mother, now the county lord is no longer in trouble, let's all go out!" Let the county lord sleep well, and I will have someone send you to Rongxi Hall. ”
seemed to understand what Duanmu Jun meant, but the old lady shook her head and said: "After all, this matter is in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, no matter what, we need to give an explanation to the Marquis of Jingyang and the emperor." ”
Seeing Duanmu Jun's uncertain face, he added, "Don't hide anything from me, is there anything else I haven't experienced?" ”
Having said this, Duanmu Jun didn't want to disobey the old woman's will anymore, so he asked all the people who were near Guangluxuan to gather in the flower hall at that time.
Several princes and princesses were also invited.
When Duanmu Qing walked with everyone, he saw Mama Li and Steward Zhao standing under the hall.
Li Ningshuang's heart jumped, and when she saw that there were only Mama Li and Zhao in charge of the scene, she immediately realized that things were not going as she imagined.
But in the face of the peaceful falling into the water, as the head of the house, she really lacks skills, so she can only send the little maid next to her to investigate, but so far the little maid has not seen a trace, and she has already arrived at the flower hall.
I thought of the pearl who was given death, in the past, she didn't need to tell her own orders, she would help her do it properly, but now although she has become a righteous lady, there are still many constraints.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly hate Duanmuqing, and when she looked over there, she was standing calmly and leisurely, and whispered a few words to the maids around her from time to time.
"Mother Li, Steward Zhao, when the county lord of Anning fell into the water, the two of you were on the spot, can you tell me what happened?"
From the moment Duanmuhe arrived, he asked the two of them to look at it separately, and the two still didn't understand what was going on at that time.
couldn't help but glance at each other, as if they wanted to think of a whole set of rhetoric together.
"Steward Zhao, you speak first."
Duanmu Jun didn't speak, but Duanmu He said sharply first.
Originally, Duanmu Jun and the old lady were here, and it was really difficult for him to speak as a junior, but he arrived first at that time, so it was understandable.
A small smile appeared on Duanmu Qing's lips, and he looked ahead for a long time.
Where did Steward Zhao know what was going on, after thinking about it, he still felt that he should look at Mama Li's meaning, turned his face, but found that Mama Li lowered her head, didn't look at him at all, didn't even look at him, and told him how to figure it out.
At this time, Mama Li was terrified, she really didn't dare to raise her head, Duanmuhe's eyes fell on her, making her feel as painful as being burned.
Gritting his teeth, Steward Zhao said: "Back to the words of the Hou Ye, the little one was originally going to Wenhuaxuan to return to Mrs. Hui's words, who knew that when he was about to walk to Guangluxuan, he heard the sound of someone falling into the water, and as soon as he arrived there, he saw Mama Li also hurrying over from the other side, and the slave was frightened at the time, and he opened his mouth to call someone over, and then the second young master brought someone to rescue the county lord of Anning." ”
Hearing this, Mama Li breathed a sigh of relief, and her face was no longer as nervous as just now.
Duanmu Jun didn't relax at all, and turned his face to look at Mama Li, "Then what's the matter with you, you happen to be nearby?" Just heard the sound of falling water? ”
Kowtowed respectfully, Mama Li looked extremely serious, nodded and said: "Back to Master Hou's words, it is exactly, the slave maid heard the sound, and as soon as she rushed over, she saw Steward Zhao coming from the other end." ”
Li Ningshuang was relieved, although she couldn't harm Duanmuqing, but she didn't get involved with her in the end.
Duanmu He sneered, "I really don't know how you did it, the time when the county lord of Anning fell into the water is a fixed moment, the two of you heard the sound of falling water at the same time, and began to rush over, Steward Zhao said that it really didn't take long to get to the water's edge from you, but Mama Li was strange, walking in the other direction but going around a big circle in the rockery, I don't know why Mama Li's footsteps are so fast?"
If it is according to the normal time, when you arrive, I am afraid that Steward Zhao will have already rescued the county lord. Or are you already on the rockery? But at that time, so many guests were in Guangluxuan, didn't you wait there for a long time, what did you go to the rockery? Or is there something unsightly? ”
Unexpectedly, the second young master, who had always been gentle and elegant, suddenly became so strong, and the subordinates of the Yongding Marquis Mansion were all shocked, and Mama Li's heartstrings that had just relaxed immediately tightened again, and fine sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Slave maid...... The slave maid ...... "Mama Li said that the slave maid was stunned for a long time, but she didn't know how to lie.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said, "It was because the fourth young lady vomited, the princess and the young masters all went out of Guangluxuan to breathe outside, I thought that there were already so many people to take care of it, and I secretly drank two sips of wine just now, so I wanted to find a place to hide and squint for a while, so I ran to the back of the rockery." ”
In this way, this Mama Li will at most admit the mistake of being lazy and lazy, and it can be regarded as harmless in the house.
Although Duanmu Jun was angry, why the county lord of Anning fell into the water, from the confessions of these two people, there was no way to know at all, and he could only wait until the county lord of Anning woke up to know.
Duanmu Qing smiled slightly, and walked in front of Mama Li in front of everyone.
Squatted down, leaned into her ear and asked, "Mama Li, is this really the case?" You should know that in our house, we have always been lenient with our subordinates, and in such a thing today, we are lenient in confessing and strict in resisting! When the matter is in front of everyone, you can't admit it yourself! ”
When Mama Li heard this, she immediately jumped like thunder, "What does the eldest lady mean by this, the slave and maid neglected their duties and secretly ran away to the rockery to rest, it is not right for the slave and maid, at this time the slave and maid also admit it, where does the eldest lady start with the frank and lenient resistance and strictness?" ”
When the old lady saw this Mama Li's attitude towards Duanmuqing, she was a little unhappy at the moment, a subordinate, relying on her own dignity, dared to shout in front of so many distinguished guests in front of the eldest lady, what kind of system is this.
But Duanmu Qing didn't pay attention to this, but turned his face to Duanmu He and said, "Second brother, the matter has come to this point, and no one may be willing to be grateful if you hide it!" ”
