Chapter 11 The pot comes from heaven
Because of what the eldest princess of Fuchang said, and because Chengguo Gong has always been a brother with Wang Ying, the matter of sending invitations is all used by Chengguo Gongzhang. The weather was just right on this day, and Cheng Guogong came to discuss things with Wang Ying, and by the way, the eldest prince of Fuchang mainly invited the female relatives of the family to watch the play.
Wang Ying even invited Liu to bring the three girls out to meet. The three Shu saluted one by one, Cheng Guogong smiled, and when he even took out a Ruyi Jinyun sachet from his arms and gave it to Ying Shu, he said happily: "I haven't seen Sister Shu for a long time, and I hope Sister Shu won't dislike it." ”
Ying Shu turned out that the sachet was heavy in her hand, and she understood that it must be filled with a gold ingot or something, and she was overjoyed in her heart, and her mouth was extraordinarily sweet like honey, and her eyes smiled and saluted Cheng Guogong: "Given by my uncle, Ying Shu naturally can only accept it, otherwise my uncle should not be at ease, right?" ”
Cheng Guogong is bold, he has never liked the hypocritical etiquette of wanting to welcome and refuse, looking at Ying Shu's direct "greed for money", he feels that Ying Shu is refreshing and straightforward, and he knows more and more why his wife likes such girls. Naturally, he responded with a smile: "This sister Shu is ghostly, no wonder our princess likes it." ”
Wang Ying felt that her face was long, and she was talking to Chengguo Gong, but she could hear the chaotic sound outside, Wang Ying couldn't help frowning, and asked, "What's wrong?" Brother Fa Sheng is here, no shame. ”
Chengguo Gong Zhang Yong waved his hand again and again with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm afraid there is something big, Brother Wang is fine, let's go and take a look." ”
Unexpectedly, the chaotic noise was getting closer and closer, and everyone looked at it, and it was Aunt Wang who broke into the front hall.
Master Wang Ying became more and more dissatisfied with his beard and glare, and reprimanded: "What are you doing? Hurry back, no shame. ”
Cheng Guogong naturally doesn't care about this, the two are like brothers, and this Aunt Wang has naturally seen it many times, "It's okay, the little brother and sister think that something is wrong, and it must be urgent." ”
Ying Chang, who was sitting upright, panicked and rushed down to hug Aunt Wang tightly: "Little lady, what's wrong with you?" ”
Everyone took a closer look, but they saw Aunt Wang kneeling on the ground with a pale face, but her eyes were full of God, as if they were full of hatred.
"Looks like I'm not fit here." Cheng Guogong is very interesting, so he stands up and wants to leave.
Who knew that Aunt Wang tried her best and said loudly: "I have heard for a long time that Chengguo's grandfather Zhou is upright, and he is like a brother to my master, and today I also ask Chengguogong to give a witness to the concubine." It can be regarded as a kind treatment for the concubine and Ying Huan! ”
Cheng Guogong looked at Wang Ying in disdain, so Wang Ying couldn't send Cheng Guogong away immediately, so he had to say: "What do you have to do, hurry up and say it, how can this be where you came?" ”
Aunt Wang let go of Ying Chang's hand, knelt on the ground upright, kowtowed to Wang Ying, and when she looked up again, her beautiful face was full of tears, and Hibiscus was as weak and helpless as crying.
Ying Shu saw it in her eyes, thought about it, and thought that this matter had nothing to do with her, and at this moment Ying Huan also came over to pull herself, "Daddy, since it is Aunt Wang's business, Ying Shu and I are both juniors, so we will withdraw first." ”
Aunt Wang leaned over and stopped: "Please also ask the eldest girl and the third girl to witness this matter." ”
Wang Ying felt more and more embarrassed, and glared at Aunt Wang, "Do you have any rules?" It's so big. ”
Aunt Wang cried even more sadly, "Master, the slave can't stand you, the child in the slave's womb is almost gone!" ”
Everyone was shocked, somehow.
Wang Ying slumped in the chair: "How come?" Didn't you say the other day that the baby in your womb is fine? ”
Aunt Wang just knelt on the ground and sobbed: "The slave also wants to know?" How can a good child suddenly be so weak? ”
Jiang Runiang, who was kneeling behind Aunt Wang at this moment, said to Wang Ying: "Master, the slave maid has been serving by my aunt's side, and my aunt's body is extremely healthy. Although it is a symptom of bad happiness, it is just a common symptom among women. It's just that since a few days ago, my aunt's body has occasionally had symptoms of redness, and this morning, the doctor actually said that my aunt's body was fortunate to be seen early. Otherwise, you won't be able to save anything! ”
Cheng Guogong coughed a few times unconsciously, this is obviously a matter of people's back houses, and it is not appropriate for a man from an outsider family to stay here no matter how intimate he is, so he is determined to leave no matter what.
It's just that as soon as Aunt Wang saw that Cheng Guogong was leaving, she wanted to stay with Cheng Guogong alive or dead: "No one in this family can call the shots for me, Cheng Guogong, you and the slave maid have been friends since childhood, so let the slave and maid say a few words." After that, Aunt Wang was holding her stomach and looking like she was going to die.
Wang Ying was half angry and half worried about her child at the moment, so she could only beg Cheng Guogong to stay: "Brother Fa Sheng is no different from my own brother, and I have to ask my brother to help me in this matter." ”
Cheng Guogong was in a dilemma, and only thought about it for a while, Aunt Wang was the biological mother of his daughter-in-law, and it was not too mixed, so he sat firmly.
"Since it's suspicious, have you checked all the food?" Wang Ying was a little impatient.
"Naturally, they are all checked, and the doctor said that there is no mistake in eating and eating utensils, but it is just ...... The little lady is pregnant, so she loves to eat some sour dates and apricots given by the third girl's room. The doctor said......" Jiang Niangzi looked at Yingshu on the side, and said in a trembling voice: "It is said that there are some ...... in the sour dates of the third girl Safflower. ”
"Red flowers?" Ying Shu almost squirted out the tea and stood up busily: "This ......"
According to Wang Miaomiao's experience in costume dramas in the previous life, things like safflower can invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, disperse dampness and remove swelling, but it will cause miscarriage, and it is often used as a gold medal auxiliary in various palace fighting novels and TV.
She panicked at the time, the sour dates and sour apricots for Aunt Wang were made by herself. Once something goes wrong, in front of Cheng Guogong, an outsider, if Wang Ying doesn't deal with it well, he will be "famous".
Sure enough, the women in the house are all like human spirits, and if they want to make opponents, they have to die.
The pot fell from the sky, and it was full of sorrow.
"Father...... I ......" Ying Shu just said three words, but she could hear Ying Huan's voice: "Father, this thing will definitely not, this sour apricot and sour jujube is made by Shu girl, but the price of safflower is expensive, and Ying Shu's silver for a month is only so little, how can I buy it?" ”
"The concubine doesn't know where she offended the third girl, but she made the third girl so resentful?" Aunt Wang cried and cried, holding her stomach and saying, "Third girl, the concubine is in the belly, but it's your own brother!" ”
Ying Shu has a hard time arguing, she didn't think about harming Aunt Wang at all, but Aunt Wang was biting to death, where could she get out easily. She dared to make trouble in front of Cheng Guogong, an outsider, because she was determined to bite herself to death.
"Then I want to ask Aunt Wang, this sour apricot and sour date, but it was originally made for Ying Shu to be gluttonous. It's not for you, you yourself are rushing to the dining room to grab the girl's things, and now there is a problem with eating, are you blaming the girl? There is no such reason. ”
"You get up first, even if you say you're unwell, what are you doing on your knees?" With a calm face, Wang Ying ordered someone to help Aunt Wang get up, and asked, "Where is the wife?" ”
"Mrs. is accompanying the old lady to worship Buddha in Huanshouxuan."
"Go and invite the wife, don't alarm the old lady, the old lady is old, don't teach her to worry."
After a while, Mrs. Liu arrived, and naturally heard the ins and outs of the matter clearly along the way, and as soon as she saw where Aunt Wang was shedding tears, she couldn't help frowning, and reprimanded: "Since you are unwell, just rest well, and you are not afraid to flash your tongue when you say so many words." ”
Liu's face was even uglier than Wang Ying's, and he didn't care about Cheng Guogong's side, "My lord is here to stir up the people, and he is not afraid of Cheng Guogong's jokes." After that, Liu saluted Cheng Guogong: "Cheng Guogong is laughing." ”
Ying Shu left her seat and knelt on the ground, "Father, mother, at first, I made some sour apricot appetizers for my daughter in the dining room. Later, the people in the dining room said that it was Aunt Wang's room that Mrs. Jiang took those sour dates and said that they were for fetal safety. The daughter thought that since her daughter was a junior, Aunt Wang was pregnant with a little brother, so she naturally had to be filial. I didn't know how to serve, so I made some dried sour apricots for Aunt Wang's baby. But I don't know where this red flower came from. ”
"Father, it must be the girl who looks down on my little mother, who was once the maid next to Erniang, and there is dissatisfaction in my heart, so my little lady will go!" Ying Chang was very excited, "The little lady is so pitiful. ”
Ying Shu was not flustered yet, and sank secretly, "My daughter knows that Aunt Wang is pregnant, so she naturally has to think carefully about everything, and naturally what raw materials her daughter uses to make these things are recorded by the people in the dining room, and what raw materials, what handiwork, and where they come from are recorded." Since the doctor said that there was safflower, the father only needed to check it. ”
"I also asked my father to send someone to find a blue booklet on the right hand side of the dressing table in my room, and check them one by one, so that I can naturally give Aunt Wang a peace of mind.
When Wang Ying looked at the raw materials recorded in the book, naturally there would be no safflower or the like, as for the use of all kinds of raw materials, the raw materials were either purchased everywhere, or offered from the Zhuangzi in his hometown. Probably not badly. ”
"The ingredients are stored in the dining room, so you can ask someone to see what went wrong."
Cheng Guogong watched from the sidelines, but he felt frightened, it was obvious that he was a civil official and a clean family, and there were so many twists and turns between his wife and concubine, and because his wife cared about Ying Shu very much, he didn't feel that he looked at Ying Shu a little more.
This girl is not simple.
In the end, the results of the examination came out, and only a small amount of safflower leaves were found in a bag of tangerine peel powder.
"Back to the master, this tangerine peel powder was sent by our own family in Pingtong Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, and the person who keeps the tangerine peel is the head of the dining room, Cui Mama. As for the steward in Zhuangzi, it is Pan's mother. The guest next to Wang Ying talked eloquently.
Liu said coldly: "How do I remember that this Mother Cui is the person recommended by the old lady; And Mrs. Pan, is Aunt Wang your distant cousin? ”
