On the second day, I got up early in the morning like a dream, and rushed to the room to ask Mrs. Liu for peace and medicine.

When Granny Yan saw her coming, she was relieved, and left Xiuyu to serve on the side, so she went down to prepare breakfast. Seeing it like a dream today, Mrs. Liu is no longer as excited as yesterday, and looks at Rumeng with the corners of her crooked mouth.

"Grandmother, it's been a year since you've been sick, and it's unlikely that you'll recover, but it's still possible to get better. If you ask for a doctor in your dream, I don't know if you can agree? ”

Mrs. Liu closed her eyes and babbled twice. Her tone could be heard to be a little resistant.

"Grandmother is worried about uselessness? Yesterday, Meng'er gave you a pulse diagnosis, and I also saw the decoction you took, and I felt that it was not very symptomatic, and it could only be regarded as a warm supplement. Presumably, the imperial doctor did not dare to use medicine. I know a famous doctor, and I have the opportunity to find it for you. ”

When a patient encounters a life-saving straw, he always has hope and rekindles his confidence. Old Madam Liu had a light in her eyes and a smile on her face. Stretch out your arms and make a grunting sound.

"Don't worry, Meng'er will discuss with him when she sees the housekeeper, and grandmother will wait a few more days."

After breakfast, the sky suddenly thundered, and then the drizzle gradually turned into a downpour.

Granny Yan took an umbrella for Rumeng, but when she returned to the yard, she still got wet with her skirt.

Rumeng untied the lucky bag around her waist, and Ping'er wiped her hair.

Stroking the jade pendant, Rumeng felt sad, for four years, he had not come to look for himself, and there was no news. Only this one remained.

"Miss misses the prince?"

"Mo Hu said, go and collect the jade pendant, I have nowhere to live in the past four years, I am afraid that I will lose it, and the heavenly family will blame."

Ping'er took the jade pendant and saw that Rumeng turned around and stopped paying attention, thinking that Xu was sad, hide it first, and wait for the young lady to open her mouth to find it.

"Miss, the slave maid heard that the emperor's dragon body is also unsafe, and now the prince is in power."

"It's all their Song family's dynasty, it's just an old minister for a new one."

"Yes, no matter who the people are emperors, as long as they have food and clothing, and do not make a rebellion against bandits, whoever sleeps in that palace will be the same for them."

"Do you think the emperor of the palace is sleeping? I'm afraid we don't sleep as much as we spend grooming. ”

"The slave maid heard that in recent years, there has been a king of Pingnan in the south, who is brave and good at fighting, and uses strange soldiers, not only quelling all the rebellions, but also suppressing the mountain bandits by the way."

"Oh? In this way, the prince must not be able to sleep. ”

If you dream of which prince will be pushed to the forefront by the emperor for his merits, it will be used to balance the crown prince.

"There are many and chaotic people in the heavenly family, who would want to be born in such a family?"

The master and servant dried their hair, as if they dreamed of reading a medical book, but before they could sit down, Ping'er reported that the young lady from the West Courtyard was here.

Rumeng didn't expect that after the eldest brother came yesterday, he asked Zuo Linlang to visit him.

"Sister, your brother is inconvenient, let me take a look at you today. I don't know what you need here, so I've got some of them. ”

Looking at the cage that was put down, the cloth rouge headdress and some four treasures of the study.

"My sister-in-law has a heart, and I thank my sister-in-law like a dream."

"Don't be polite, our family seems to be divided. Yesterday, your brother heard that you were returning home, and he came in a hurry, and he didn't prepare anything, and I thought that you used to go to Tong'er to ask for some paper and ink, so I sent it to you. That moire paper was given by my father when I got married, and I can't use it, so wouldn't it be better for you? ”

Zuo Linlang took Rumeng's hand and said sincerely.

"This is too precious, my sister is favored."

"The sword is going to be given to the hero, and this paper should be given to my sister. Now that you're the only one in the house, you can give everything you want. ”

After Zuo Linlang finished speaking, he secretly felt that it was inappropriate, Rumeng had been delayed by the Hou Mansion for many years, and he had already passed the age of marriage, and he was said so clearly by himself, I am afraid that it would hurt Rumeng's face.

"Sister, don't blame, I'm unintentional."

"Sister-in-law, but it doesn't hurt to say it, compared to talking in private, my sister likes my sister-in-law's bluntness."

"Alas, last night your brother revealed that my in-laws were going to arrange a marriage for you. Your brother wants me to ask you, but if you have someone you like, we can help you make good things happen. ”

"My sister-in-law went back and thanked my brother for me, but the elders should be in charge of marriage, and Meng'er didn't dare to accept it privately."

"Sister, do you know that the king of the county has been looking for you privately in recent years? Although he is married, if you are interested in him, your brother can help you. ”

"My sister did have contact with the king of the county four years ago, but it was only a general friendship, and there was no love between men and women."

"That's it, it's not a good match with the king of the county, and his concubine is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It's just that my father-in-law has been in contact with the prince in recent years, I'm afraid..."

Rumeng knew that Zuo Linlang was reminding her that the Marquis of Pingyang would send her to the palace.

"Someone has to go, if you can earn some glory for your aunt and brother, it's worth it."

"Speaking of your brother, he is a shrewd man, the last time I met him outside the courtyard of the second lady, the girl led him, and drew on the ground and refused to leave. I looked up and saw that he seemed to be interested in the art of Pythagorean and was not scribbling. Tell your aunt to rest and enlighten as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of enlightenment, I suddenly remembered that Zuo Linlang's father was a university scholar and knew many famous teachers.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid my sister will ask for you today."

"Where can I say that I can ask for words, but my sister doesn't hurt to say it."

"Qing'er is three years old and has reached the age of enlightenment, and wants to ask Scholar Zuo to find a gentleman. I don't know if it will make it difficult for my sister-in-law? ”

"It doesn't matter what hard things I do. It's just that this should have been done by your second mother, Zhang Luo, if we did it privately, would the second aunt be angry? ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will arrange it for my mother and father, and you can help me find it first."

"Okay, sister, don't worry. Qing'er's child I also love when I see it, if this can be done, it should be a piece of my sister-in-law's heart. ”

sent Zuo Linlang away, and went to her aunt immediately to tell her the good news.

"Ping'er, Ping'er."

After calling for a long time, I didn't see Ping'er coming, so I simply went out to look for it by myself.

In the ancestral house, a person is used to it, and often runs to the pond, but he is not as squeamish as before.

"Miss, where are you going?"

"Why are you standing outside the courtyard?"

"Miss Hui, one day today, the slave saw a figure wandering outside the courtyard, and just told me to block here. said that the second lady sent it to the room to deliver medicinal herbs. At first glance, it is a lie, and if you stalk it, you will say it clearly, so that these three indiscriminate methods. ”

"We just came back, so it's okay to tell them to keep an eye on it. Let's go, go to my aunt's. ”

The fourth aunt was overjoyed when she heard Rumeng say that Qing'er would soon be enlightened, but she was still worried that the second master and the second lady would be hindered.

Rumeng comforted her and relieved that someone would come to look for her in the near future, and the time would be ripe.

The mother and daughter accompanied Qing'er for a while, and Qing'er could also call her sister in a childish voice.

For the sake of her aunt and Qing'er, Rumeng plans to face difficulties.

And this "difficult" hurdle came just three days later.

Early this morning, the eldest aunt came to the courtyard like a dream with a cage. There are a lot of people who have sent things in the past two days, but there have never been people as generous as Zhu's.

"These are all rewarded to you by your uncle, she said that you have suffered a lot in recent years, and we will compensate you for the old lady."

It's really funny, not to mention whether you have to endure hardships or not, obviously you don't have a good heart, but you give charity like a bodhisattva. It's a weasel.

"Meng'er, thank you, uncle and aunt."

"I'm here today to send you an invitation, and tomorrow the prince's mansion will hold a banquet and invite us to go, and your uncle said to bring it to you, so that you can re-familiarize yourself with the connections of Jingshi."

"Uncle bothered, Meng'er will go."

"Okay, tomorrow my aunt will be waiting for you in the front hall, you pack up, if there is anything missing, let the girl go to find me."

"Meng'er still really wants her aunt to do her a favor."

"Meng'er said that it doesn't matter, your uncle and I will promise you."

"Meng'er wants to beg her uncle to promise to give Qing'er a enlightened master."

"Why hasn't Qing'er been enlightened yet? How does this Qi family take care of the back house? The family is unfortunate. Meng'er don't worry, I'll ask your uncle to arrange it when I go back tonight. Find the best teacher. ”

"I don't need to be an aunt, I'll look for the teacher myself, as long as the uncle speaks."

The Zhu family didn't know what Rumeng meant, and when he thought about it, it must be because the Qi family didn't want to pay attention to the fourth aunt's affairs, and Rumeng was not good at making decisions privately as a concubine.

Only Rumeng knows in her heart that the teacher that the eldest uncle is looking for must be a princeling, and she doesn't want Qing'er to be too involved with the prince.

"Okay, the eldest aunt is the master, and this matter should be settled. Tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow Meng'er will dress up and go to the banquet with my aunt."

The eldest aunt Zhu completed Pingyang Hou's entrustment and happily returned to the courtyard.

When Pingyang Hou returned home, he eagerly went to invite merit.

"Oh? Are you saying she just took a bite? ”

"No, it looks very well-behaved."

"Well-behaved? Have you forgotten how she calculated me back then? Don't forget that she has a lot on her mind, you know if she's planning something. ”

"Master, you are too careful, she doesn't even know the purpose of going to the Prince's Mansion, how to calculate. We don't know what will happen in the future, so we just let the prince inspect the goods. ”

Pingyang Hou also felt that what his wife said was reasonable, he had the heart to befriend the prince, but he didn't know if he could look down on the concubine of this Hou Mansion.

Back then, he wanted to promise Rumeng to the Fang family, and the prince also knew about it.

"Then you have to keep an eye on her tomorrow in the Prince's Mansion, don't make trouble for me."

"I see. By the way, the fourth girl said that she wanted to invite an enlightened teacher to the little one in the second room, but no one was in charge, so I agreed. ”

"I've been busy welcoming King Ping Nan back to Beijing recently, so how can I have time."

"Don't worry about it, as long as you let it go?"

Pingyang Hou looked at his wife hesitantly, pondered her previous words, and recalled it.

"You go ahead and arrange it, I know. Tomorrow, when I see the second child, I will tell him. ”

Pingyang Hou put a word here, it would be most appropriate to explain himself to the second master in person.

Rumeng has some worries, sitting alone by the window to eat wine, the cool wind of the summer night hits people, not like the spring night in the mountains. There are no mountains and forests, no fireworks, but I still think of that face.

Tomorrow, the entire Jingshi will know that the fourth lady who is seriously ill in the Pingyang Hou Mansion has returned. I wonder if he'll know too.
