Chapter 32: The Wound

There is no ice drink, but a hot tea can relieve the heat.

"I've been suffering from you for the past few days." Aunt Jiang looked at Aunt Wan and lost a lot of weight.

Aunt Wan pursed her mouth and said, "Who said it wasn't." But it's over. ”

The adults were talking, Zheng Lingyi casually took the half-embroidered handkerchief from Aunt Jiang, and after only a few stitches, he felt that he had ruined the original charm of this rose.

Aunt Wan gossiped: "When I went to Anheju to reply, I saw Mama Zhao coming, and she brought a group of little girls. I saw that I was going to the West Building, and I should have arranged a room for the county lord. ”

Aunt Jiang's heart suddenly widened, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Then the county lord is coming soon, right?" I don't know how many days I'll be staying this year? ”

When Qiao Luo bent down to add tea to Aunt Wan, he said lightly: "At the end of last year, Sister Luo also got married, and the county lord has one less concern, so he should live longer, right?" ”

There is only a pair of concubines under the knee of the county lord of Ruiyang, and now they are all married, and their husband's family is not in the capital.

Aunt Jiang lowered her eyes and stroked her stomach, feeling a little more determined.

"When Sister Luo got married, she also gave us a wedding cake."

Aunt Wan still remembered that the wedding cake was mixed with lard walnuts, and it tasted very good, and murmured: "Sister Luo has a good temperament and good appearance, but I don't know how to marry a husband?" ”

Aunt Jiang didn't answer Aunt Wan's words, but just put down the teacup and turned her head to look at the embroidery on her daughter's hand.

Aunt Wan followed her gaze and looked at Zheng Lingyi, seeing that she was frowning slightly, thinking about how to prick the next stitch, the girl's body was hidden under the loose blue dress, and there was no trace of reverie.

"Fifteen have you come to Kwai Shui?" Aunt Wan retracted her gaze, secretly pointed at Zheng Lingyi, and said lightly to Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang shook her head, pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, and said, "Not yet." But I've got everything for her. ”

"Hmm." Aunt Wan drank tea and nodded.

Zheng Lingyi didn't hear the words between the two adults, and only competed with the needle and thread in his hand.

By the second day, the roses had been embroidered, and they looked like blood on the white silk cloth, but they lacked a little charm.

When he got up in the morning to say goodbye, Lu deliberately asked Aunt Ai to kneel for half a pillar of incense, saying that she asked Aunt Ai to ask Aunt Jiang for her guilt.

Aunt Ai knelt and Aunt Jiang sitting.

Although Aunt Jiang is complaining about Aunt Ai in her heart, the current scene is also like sitting on pins and needles.

Lu Shi smiled slightly, the smile on the corner of her mouth seemed friendly, but it was actually vicious.

"The lord of Ruiyang County came tomorrow, and I wanted to let the twelve go to serve tea, but you have such a useless mother, I think it's okay. You don't have to show up tomorrow, the ninth and fifteenth will serve by the side of the county lord of Ruiyang tomorrow. ”

Her words and sentences are like a pair of scissors, dividing the incompatible relationship between the aunt and the concubines.

Zheng Yingying's appearance is not very beautiful, Lu rarely lets her appear in front of people, and today's words are just casual words, and they can't be true.

But others don't take it seriously, but Zheng Yingying can't take it seriously.

The lord of Ruiyang County has a straightforward temperament, and sometimes speaks harshly and directly, but for the concubines who grew up beside the Lu family, it is really nothing.

Besides, the county lord is very generous, serving by her side is always indispensable, and she is an elder, it is natural to serve her, and she will not lose her share when she says it.

Therefore, for the concubines, serving the county lord of Ruiyang is a beautiful difference.

Zheng Yangyang is okay, she is useful to the Lu family, and she has always been indispensable in front of the Lu family.

But Zheng Lingyi was a bargain in her eyes, and she looked at Zheng Lingyi viciously.

Zheng Lingyi shrank innocently, lowered his head silently, but thought in his heart, 'This mother and daughter are really the same character, why do you believe what others say?' ’

The disharmony between this concubine is Lu's favorite play, she smiled and admired it for a while, but she felt that Zheng Lingyi's temperament was really boring, so she couldn't lift her energy.

Moreover, she also wanted to see the steward of the outer courtyard and ask about the disappearance of Zheng Rongli's little servant Sanshan for no reason, so she sent them back.

After the people were dispersed, the people from the east and west gardens walked separately at the gate of Anheju, Zheng Lingyi happened to be talking to Zheng Changchang, and suddenly asked someone to push hard behind him.

She couldn't hold it anymore, and her left knee knelt heavily on the gravel road outside Anheju, and a sharp stabbing pain suddenly came from her knee.

"Sister!" Midorino hurriedly picked her up.

"Let you hurt my mother!" Zheng Yingying said with a relieved face, and left after speaking, so that people had no chance to refute it.

"Who harmed her mother? It's really upside down black and white, hiss. Zheng Lingyi said in pain.

Blood oozed from the blue dress, and it gradually became stronger, like a vermilion brushstroke, adding color to the petals layer by layer.

"This, how did you go tomorrow?" Lu Nong only glanced at it, and knew that Zheng Lingyi was badly injured.

Aunt Jiang didn't want to stop at the gate of Anheju and make people laugh, so she asked Qiao Luo to send a message to the Lu family, saying that Zheng Lingyi had injured his knee and was afraid that he would not be able to serve in front of the county lord.

Zheng Lingyi just wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he stopped talking again.

Lu Nong picked up Zheng Lingyi and returned to Xiyuan with a sigh of relief.

When she arrived in the room, Lu Nong put Zheng Lingyi on the futon, carefully pulled up her dress, and saw that the flesh and blood on her knees were blurred, like erosive petals, which made people feel distressed.

Aunt Jiang brought the hemostatic powder and carefully sprinkled it on the wound, Zheng Lingyi only frowned slightly, and did not exhale pain.

When Qiao Luo came back, he saw Lu Nong wrapping gauze around Zheng Lingyi's left knee, and his knee was swollen like a white-faced steamed bun, making it difficult to even walk.

"Auntie, Madame doesn't allow it." Qiao Luo said with difficulty.

Lu didn't see her at all, so he asked Yuegui to come out and say, "What a great grace is it to serve the county lord, it's just a little injury and pain caused by the sister's quarrel, won't it be fine tomorrow?" Sentimental! ”

Zheng Lingyi was not surprised at all, but said lightly: "Auntie, that's it." ”

No matter what Lu Shi's idea was, Zheng Lingyi was glad that she was willing to let her serve in front of the county lord.

"Let's tear it down." Zheng Lingyi looked at his bulging knees and said to Lu Nong.

"How does this work?" Lu Nong was pinching the gauze and preparing to tie the knot, and he was very puzzled when he heard it.

Zheng Lingyi said very calmly: "Since the county lord will arrive the day after tomorrow, then don't wrap it, if it is hot today, it will be even worse if it turns suppurated." It's better to open the wound and change the dressing frequently, maybe tomorrow the bleeding will stop and you will be able to walk a few steps. ”

Lu Nong was stunned when she heard this, the girl in front of her who was raised in the boudoir knew a lot more than ordinary, and she spoke with a convincing sense of calmness.

"Fifteen, don't go and get angry with twelve." Aunt Jiang was afraid that she would cause any more trouble, so she advised.

Even Lu Nong couldn't listen to these words anymore, Aunt Ai pushed Aunt Jiang into the goldfish pond, and Zheng Yingying injured Zheng Lingyi again, obviously wronged, but she had to endure it everywhere.

Zheng Lingyi sighed and said, "Got it." ”

The tone was like that of an old lady of seventy or eighty years old, feeling helpless about his stubborn grandson.

If she fought back, wouldn't she have fulfilled Lu's wish?

Zheng Lingyi didn't want to make Lu proud, just put up with her, but ......

"Will there be a scar?"

When Lu Nong returned to the pavilion with Zheng Lingyi in his arms, he heard her ask a little worriedly.

Finally something like she should have said at her age.

Midorino placed her on the mattress and untied the gauze from her knees, the wound still slowly oozing blood.

Lu Nong stared at it for a while, and said, "If you clean the broken skin, maybe it won't leave a scar, but it hurts." ”

"It's okay if it hurts." Zheng Lingyi said categorically.

Lu Nong thought she was being strong, but when she really used a burnt thin needle to remove useless dead skin, Zheng Lingyi just buried her head in her arms and didn't even snort.

Lu Nong couldn't help but think of his little sister again, and she had to cry for a long time when she was pricked with an embroidery needle, and now she was sold as a slave, I don't know how many times a day I have to cry?

Zheng Lingyi felt that the pain in her leg gradually faded, suddenly heard a sob, raised her head and looked, and saw Lu Nong turn around and take the sewing kit to the cabinet to put it away, and come back with the medicine powder to give her medicine.

Zheng Ling commented that her eyes were a little red, and she was puzzled: "Sister Lunong, what's wrong with you?" ”

Midori shook his head, forced a laugh, and said, "It's okay." ”

She gently patted the medicine bottle, and the fine powder was evenly sprinkled on the wound.

"Sister Midorinon, are you scared?" Zheng Lingyi peeked at Lu Nong's expression and asked softly.

There is no peace everywhere in this country's mansion, and if Lu Nong is afraid, it is normal.

Lu Nong had seen Zheng Lingyi's curious temperament, and knew that if there was no answer, her heart would be as uncomfortable as a hundred claws scratching her heart.

Lu Nong looked at her worried eyes and said lightly, "It's just that I suddenly remembered the slave's sister." I don't know how she's doing now. ”

"Where is she?" Zheng Lingyi asked.

Lu Nong showed a look of uncertainty, and said: "It is said that it was sold to a family surnamed Lu in the south, and the slave and maid are not clear." ”

It's the news that I don't know if it's true or not, or that Lu Nong exchanged it for the only gilded copper bracelet.

Zheng Lingyi was silent for a while, and said with a little uncertainty: "If yes, if I have a good life in the future, I will help you buy my sister back." ”

Lu Nong looked at Zheng Lingyi with a little surprise, then smiled and said, "Okay." ”

The friendship between the master and servant, in the half-truths and half-truths, has really made the slightest progress.

The wound on Zheng Lingyi's knee was drugged again at night before going to bed.

"The wound is starting to harden, and it should be about to scab." Lu Nong said while sprinkling the medicinal powder.

Zheng Changchang curled up her body into a small ball, for fear of touching Zheng Lingyi's wound when she was sleeping.

Just falling asleep, she involuntarily came over again, hugging Zheng Lingyi's neck, as if she could sleep more soundly and peacefully.

By the time you wake up in the morning, the wound has formed a thin scab, and it is okay to walk a few steps, but if you move more, you can ensure that it will crack and ooze blood.
