1. Say me?
It hurts, and it hurts like being run over by a truck a hundred times.
Shen, his fingertips seemed to be tied to a large stone weighing dozens of catties.
It seems that there is still a little tinnitus, as if it is wrapped in cotton wool.
I can't tell if it's hot or cold, it's always uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable.
After trying to open his eyelids for the tenth time and still failing to do so, Meng Qingyun gave up for the time being and decided to let himself rest first. I never thought that it would take a lot of effort to even open my eyelids.
And after meditating, the senses seem to slowly begin to recover.
It's as if someone is talking.
"This Yuan Niang has been burned for the third day, she won't be burned into a fool, right?"
"What does the doctor say?"
"Isn't it what the doctor said, these days are extremely dangerous, if the fever doesn't go away, I'm afraid I'll burn my brain."
"Alas......"
This sigh is a little heartfelt.
The first voice to speak, a little heavy, sounded like a woman in her forties and fifties, and said to the sighing man, "The eldest lady is still kind-hearted, but poor child." It's right, her mother just went, she was sick like this again, the second official was not at home, and the old lady never cared about things, and she relied on the eldest lady to take care of her. β
The sighing lady chuckled lightly: "Poor? Do you pity her when I do? β
"Huh?" The woman was a little confused.
The eldest lady said: "I pity her, I pity myself." How many years have I married into this family, I have to serve my in-laws, I have to take care of a family of more than 100 people, and the big officials have to pay thousands of silver every month to worship. But what about the Bai family? I never need to worry about family affairs, but I live my own life behind closed doors, with food and clothing, and with a rich dowry, I am really rich and happy. β
"That, that......"
"Oh, but it's also her blessing, such a good family background and husband, she can't enjoy many years of happiness, so she just let go. It can be seen that feng shui takes turns, and it is also my turn to relax and enjoy happiness. You say this kid is pitiful? Yes, poor. However, it is not the pity of losing a mother. Can a childish child hug a daughter and swagger through the market, can it not be pitiful? β
"The meaning of the big lady ......"
"She's a small child, she can't keep these riches, so leave it to me!"
The woman seemed to be startled by the decisive tone of the eldest lady, and did not speak for a long time.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet for a while.
After a whileβ
"Guess how much money the Bai family kept?"
The voice of the eldest lady was faint, as if coming from the ground, which was creepy.
I only heard the woman hesitate and said: "It is said that the second lady was ten miles of red makeup back then, and she married into our Meng family with ten thousand family assets." There are ten shops in the second room, and there is nothing to do in these years, all the food and drink are provided by the public, and the second lady is not left by eight or nine out of ten, and there should be seven or eight out of ten......"
"Hehehe......"
Before she could finish speaking, the eldest lady laughed first.
"You are a foolish person, let me settle the account for you, when the Bai family got married, I have seen the dowry list, a water of good furniture, head jewelry, silk and satin, gold and jade antiques, shop dowry, maidservants, these and don't count it, just the silver at the bottom of the box, there is this number."
It was about her who made a gesture, Meng Qingyun couldn't open her eyes, and she couldn't see, so she only heard the woman: "Fifty thousand? β
"Say that you don't know it, the richest man in Jiangnan marries a daughter, and 50,000 yuan is also worthy of taking it out? A full 500,000 taels! β
"Huo !!" The woman who had not seen it was really shocked.
"What a dowry, the people in the market are only capable of this imagination, the Bai family is a person with millions of family fortunes!"
"This, this ......"
The eldest lady said lightly: "Think about it, this million wealth, in my hands, no matter how the eldest master asks for it, what else do I have to be afraid of?" Why is it that you don't know that it is a crime to put money in India with such trepidation as you do now? If I really can't help it, can I take this risk? β
"Yes...... But this money should also belong to Yuan Niang, and it's not our turn to take it......"
"Idiot! If I have a surplus in my hands, can't you share some profits? What, don't want to live a rich life? β
As soon as the woman heard that she was rich, she immediately changed her attitude and grinned, "I, naturally, I also like money." β
"Phew." The eldest lady took a sip of her.
The woman suddenly realized that "Oh, my eldest lady, let's talk these words ourselves behind closed doors, how can we say them at the head of her bed, in case she wakes up?" β
Both men stopped.
Meng Qingyun only felt a sound of light footsteps, approaching her from far and near, and then immediately a slightly cool hand grabbed her and rolled one eyelid.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm still unconscious."
οΌοΌοΌ How? The poor boy they are talking about swaggering through the market with a thousand daughters, is it me?
Before she could think about this doubt, she heard the big lady suddenly say after breathing a sigh of relief: "Actually, even if she wakes up and hears it, what can she do?" β
"Huh?"
The eldest lady's voice was cold and hard: "She is a girl, her father is far away, her mother has passed away, she is born, old, sick and dead, and she is not all in my palm." β
What a majestic housewife!
"Bang", the sound of the door being slammed open.
I don't know how many people rushed in, and their ears were full of the sound of rushing footsteps.
A young woman screamed, "Big lady! Mama Luo! Don't dare to tire you, Yuan Niang has us to take care of you! You nobles have a lot of people, so please go and get busy! β
Then there was a burst of muttering from Luo's mother, about a kind complaint about the liver and lungs of a donkey, and the other party had some tough arguments, and several people spoke at the same time, messy.
In the end, I only listened to the big lady's final word, said "Let's go", and walked away, and then gradually quieted down.
The young woman in front of her, who spoke very impulsively, said to the others: "Let's all disperse, each of them do their own errands, and the girl who came to see the door doesn't have to stay, just call someone to sell it." Bauhinia, Xiu'er, these days, the two of you have personally guarded the door, Yuan Niang's house, there must be no one left! β
About three or five girls said yes in unison.
Then, Meng Qingyun felt another hand on her forehead to test the temperature, which was much more delicate and gentle than the hand that rolled her eyelids last time.
"Alas...... Yuan Niang, when will you wake up......"
The voice was soft, with endless melancholy and hope, and it was extremely loving. Meng Qingyun wanted to say, I want to wake up, my body doesn't allow it.
A wave of tiredness hit, she involuntarily fell into a black sweet stupor, and the last thought before losing consciousness, the "Yuan Niang" they said, it seems that it is really me......
