44. Flowers are thin and thin. Cut a sprig for heavy sniffing.
On the day of leaving for the Hou Mansion, the sky was overcast, and everyone rushed to the ancestral house.
"Fourth sister, your second brother tossed around all night last night, and always said that he would kidnap you in the middle of the night, so he didn't have to go back."
"Second sister-in-law, Meng'er will take care of herself, you and your second brother can rest assured."
"Meng'er, if you are wronged, come back, the eldest brother will go to the scientific examination this year and earn fame to support you."
"Brother Xie, Meng'er congratulates you in advance on the title of the gold list. When you go to Jingshi, you must find me. ”
The third uncle's father-in-law, Sun Liu Benfang, is the second time this year to go on a scientific expedition, and last time because he caught up with his daughter-in-law's first child, he insisted on staying at home to accompany him, which was wrong.
"Why didn't the Hu Doctor come?"
Liu Benfang also knew this village doctor, and heard that his sister was also studying medicine with her.
"Xu Ye Hu has something to delay. Let's go back, Meng'er and Grandpa have thanked everyone. I'll write to my brother when the Hou Mansion is settled. ”
The wheels rolled forward, and they walked back to the cage with a dream. It's been four years, and I've been abandoned for four years, and now I'm going to pick up the old things again. The thing is not human, and I don't know if that person is still there.
This summer, it was always rainy and dark, but it was already drizzling at this time.
Two ox carts were parked in front of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, and outsiders looked like distant relatives. No one would have thought that four years ago, it was rumored that the fourth lady who was seriously ill and sent to the countryside to recuperate would be in the car.
"Miss, Master Guan has entered the mansion to report to Master Hou and told you to wait in the car."
"It's stuffy in the car, let's get out of the car and wait."
Before Rumeng's footsteps landed, a paper umbrella was held up on his head to cover the falling raindrops.
"Fourth Miss, congratulations on returning home."
In the distance, Yan Bo stood alone in the rain, excited and tired. When I came back after many years, I didn't expect that only this old man would greet me.
"Uncle Yan, I'm back."
"Hey, well, let's see, who this is."
Rumeng followed the direction of Yan Bo's finger and looked at the young man who had given him an umbrella, with deep eye sockets, high nasal bones, dark and strong skin, and he looked a little foreign.
"You are? Doulu? ”
"Doulu welcomes Miss back home."
"It's changed so much that I almost don't recognize it."
"Exactly, when the young lady disappeared, Doulu looked for you for more than a month, and then had to be assigned to the king of the county, and now he has joined the Terracotta Division."
"If Miss needs, Doulu will quit his errand tomorrow and work for Miss."
Dou Lu was about to kneel down to express his heart, but Ping'er reached out and held him. Although Ping'er is a woman, she has done most of the manual work in the past four years, and she is no longer a weak woman. Even Doulu, who usually practices martial arts, was shocked.
"This is not the place to speak, you serve in the Terracotta Division first, and I will settle you if I need it later."
Doulu heard that he couldn't help himself in a dream, and he hadn't yet gained a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion, so he couldn't take care of himself.
"Everything is at the behest of the young lady."
"Okay, it's still raining, let's go inside."
Looking at it, it doesn't look like someone can come out to greet her anymore, it's better to walk in openly. Treat her as a chess piece, and you have to look like a chess piece.
As soon as I returned to Dongjingtai Hutong, I pulled back the memories of the past. In the past, the little sisters in the boudoir had all married out of the house, and only when they were hidden by their grandmother were they able to return to the Hou Mansion at the age of 18.
She did not hate her grandmother, on the contrary, she thanked her. In the past four years, she has done things that she can't do in the Hou Mansion, wanton and free, so unhappy. It's no wonder that she can't escape her fate, and she was pulled back to the board again, but this time, she won't wait for slaughter.
"Ping'er, simply clean up, let's go to the room."
"Rumeng is back?"
Before the words of the dream fell, a person walked in at the door, and the charm was undiminished, it was her eldest aunt, the Zhu family who matched her with Lang back then.
"Meng'er has seen the eldest aunt."
"Good boy, look, there are so many signs. Water is smart. This appearance is better than how many wealthy ladies are today. ”
The eldest aunt praised it. Meng'er has passed the Chinese year, how can it be compared with the cardamom girl. ”
As the meaning of the dream is that he has been ruined in his life, and no one cares.
"Meng'er doesn't blame your uncle and father, you also know your grandmother's temper. Isn't this your uncle knowing that you are suffering, and finally picking you back? ”
How could she not know her grandmother's temper, if her grandmother meant it, she would not take her back to her home to get married.
"Uncle Xie and Aunt Meng'er regret remembering their kindness."
"Family, what kind words to say. Looking at it now, if Meng'er's beauty had been matched with the Fang family, it would have been a pity. ”
When she heard the Zhu family mention the Fang family in a dream, she became more and more unhappy, and she no longer gave her aunt a good color.
"If the eldest aunt has nothing to do, Meng'er will retreat first, and I will go to the room to say goodbye to my grandmother."
Zhu looked like a dream, looking a little embarrassed. Haha said:
"Okay, it's time to go see Grandma. I'll go back to Xiyuan first, if you have any shortages, just go look for me. ”
Finally sent away this aunt who loved to be a good person, and walked to the upper room like a dream.
Walk slowly all the way, thinking that you will have to face the old man who abandoned you for a while. Because of her unfounded judgment, she ruined her granddaughter's happiness.
Before entering the hospital, a smell of Chinese medicine came to my nose, mixed with urine and smell.
Granny Yan was busy in the yard for something, and when she saw someone coming to the door, she looked this way.
"Fourth Miss? Miss Four! You're back? ”
"Granny Yan, it's me. Grandmother, how is she an old man? ”
I don't know if Granny Yan is old, or if she is feeling sorry for Rumeng, she choked before she spoke, and she was excited.
"Fourth Miss, let's go into the house quickly, the old lady is inside."
Granny Yan let Rumeng into the house, afraid of frightening her, so she turned her head and instructed:
"Fourth Miss, now the old lady is in the brain, her body can't move, and she can't speak, but her consciousness is clear, if she sees you excited for a while, you don't have to be afraid."
"Granny Yan, my grandmother is a patient, how can I be afraid. Rest assured. ”
"Alas, the fourth young lady is kind-hearted, and the old slave knows. The old lady treated you like that, and you still ......"
"Mother-in-law, given by the elders, I dare not resign. I know it like a dream. ”
"Come with the old slave."
Follow Granny Yan into her grandmother's former bedroom, where the smell is stronger than outside. The old man, who was once in good spirits, was now lying on the couch, his eyes were blank, saliva was on the corner of his mouth, and his arms were twitching from time to time. When he heard someone coming in, he didn't turn his head to check, but just babbled.
"Old lady, look, who's coming to see you."
Hearing Granny Yan's words, she slowly moved her head, moving, not turning.
"Ah...... Ahh......hhh Ahh......h
Old Madam Liu was very excited when she saw Rumeng, her whole body was straining, and she still spit out a few words in her mouth. Rumeng knew that this was the sequelae of a stroke.
"Mother-in-law, how long has grandmother been like this?"
As she spoke, she walked to the couch and observed Mrs. Liu carefully. Granny Yan thought that Rumeng had not seen her grandmother for a long time, and she thought in her heart, so she couldn't help but sigh that these children and grandchildren, since they were sick, probably have never been so close to the old lady.
"Miss Huisi, it's been almost a year, at first I just had a bad headache, and I often vomited, and then I told that my hands and feet are not very bright, and it was like this four months ago. The imperial doctor also invited, but he could only say that he would take some medicine and try it, but it did not improve. ”
Rumeng sat on the edge of the couch and took her grandmother's wrist by the wide hem of her sleeve, at first Mrs. Liu struggled a little, but seeing that Rumeng had no malice, she stopped.
Granny Yan looked at the two grandchildren sitting together, just like the scene of three granddaughters around their knees many years ago, enjoying themselves.
Only Rumeng herself knows that she wants to check her grandmother's pulse to see what her condition is.
My grandmother's stroke was in the gut and was a type of autism.
"Granny Yan, what were the symptoms of grandmother's illness on the day she became ill?"
That day, the old slave had just served the old lady with breakfast, and the old lady said that her breathing was not smooth, her body was hot, and she had not yet entered the spring. When I came back, I saw Xiuyu looking for me all over the yard, saying that the old lady's crown was tightly closed, and her limbs were twitching and fainting. ”
Yes, the one who has a slippery pulse, this is yang closed.
"Did the imperial doctor in the palace show you?"
"It's Imperial Doctor Xu."
Rumeng wrote it down, thinking that if there was a chance, I would try to change some medicine for my grandmother. It would be best if Hu Ye was afraid. Most of the imperial doctors in the palace seek smooth official paths, and they dare not use the medicine of tigers and wolves. Hanging like this is urging death.
"Granny Yan, the old lady's medicine is decocted."
Xiuyu hasn't seen her for many years, and she has already pulled up her hair in a bun, and she can't come back to her senses when she first sees it.
"Fourth Miss? The slave maid greeted the fourth lady. ”
Granny Yan walked over and took the medicine bowl, and after Xiuyu left, her appearance of wanting to speak was caught in her eyes like a dream. motioned for Ping'er to follow her.
"Mother-in-law, I'll come."
As a dream, Granny Yan's medicine bowl wanted to serve her grandmother to take medicine. However, my grandmother was frightened and kept struggling.
"Grandmother, you know what you're thinking. After all, you didn't hurt me, although my granddaughter suffered a little, but fortunately, she also gained something. Don't worry, I don't have hatred, on the contrary, Meng'er wants you to get better, and if you look closely, your decision was wrong. ”
After serving her grandmother's medicine, Rumeng sat for a while, and when she saw Ping'er coming back quietly, she said goodbye to Granny Yan, saying that she would come back to ask her grandmother for peace tomorrow.
Granny Yan is happy, it's been a year, and this room hasn't been lively, even the old lady's niece Zhu, and she may not be able to see her in January. I happily agreed, and I still stayed like a dream and came over for breakfast tomorrow.
"But what do you know?"
"Yes. The slave followed Xiuyu to the backyard kitchen, and Xiuyu said that this year, the family was headed by the Hou Ye and the eldest lady. Even the stewardship of the second room was taken back. The second lady made trouble for a while at first, but the Hou Ye had no choice but to let go, saying that he could split up if he didn't want to. There was no movement. ”
"My mother is afraid that she will not have a monthly salary in the future, so she will obediently give in. Is there any news of the new jade? ”
"Well, Xiuyu said that Xinyu married the Taifu Mansion with the third lady."
"Fortunately, following the third sister will not be tortured, now that we know where to go, let's make plans in the future."
"Miss, but back to the yard?"
"Let's go see the fourth aunt, my heart is so fast, if it weren't for humility, I should go to her first."
