Chapter 15: Taking the Wrong Medicine (3)
Lan Yi was calmly crooked there, looking at herself as a father fixedly, her good-looking eyes seemed to be able to speak, she didn't fight, she didn't fight, she didn't fight, she didn't seem to make any decisions, she could accept it calmly.
Only children who can cry are hurt, but this girl is stubborn, and she will never learn to fight for these things with tears, there are so many children in Pei's house, and there is really only one Lan Yi, who inherited the temperament of Pei Gui and his deceased wife Feng Ying.
"Master, you see, the three girls are always crying here, it's not a thing, it's cold and the ground is bright, in case the three girls are also sick, the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace banquet Pei Mansion can only be Miaoqing can go." It's better to get an idea quickly. When Aunt Bai saw Pei Gui glancing at Lan Yi, she felt uncomfortable, urging him to settle other things first.
Pei Gui said angrily: "What other palace banquet are you going to?" Miaoyun did this kind of thing, and going to the palace banquet was also a shame for the Pei family! ”
Pei Miaoyun never expected that she was smart but was mistaken by being smart, and she begged for something for so long, and finally arrived at the door of her eyes, but she was still given death by her father's words, she cried and said: "Daddy, let me go, if others know that I can't go because of these things, who else will be willing to marry a concubine like me in the future?" ”
"Talking about relatives, your mind is full of relatives, how did your mother teach you, the girl who has not been out of the cabinet, just thinking about these things, isn't it ashamed?" Pei Gui reprimanded, "It's because of the relatives, you have become such a person, how could I possibly let you go to the palace again, you gave me a good thought at home!" ”
The matter was so big, Pei Miaoyun's biological mother, Aunt Leng, finally received the wind and rushed over, she was the most noisy person, pleading and crying in Lanyi's room, which made Pei Gui have a headache, and even regretted accepting this concubine in the first place.
But in the end, no matter how he tossed, Pei Gui still made a decision and said that the daughter of the concubine was also a serious master in the family, and she didn't respect herself, and she did such a thing as murdering her family, and the etiquette law did not tolerate it, so Pei Miaoyun was directly pulled out and beaten with twenty boards, and after the beating, she was really more seriously injured than Lan Yi at that time, and Lan'er, a girl like Pei, couldn't stay in the house, so she directly pulled it to let people sell her teeth.
Lan Yi didn't ignore the hostility in the eyes of the mother and daughter looking at her, and there was no fear in her heart, she just looked at them, until she saw that Aunt Leng was a little panicked, and slowly lowered her head, and Lan Yi withdrew her gaze.
After all, it is the party that is at fault, Aunt Leng is so weak that she can only cover her face and cry, in such a cry, Pei Miaoyun was covered with cold sweat and was carried back weakly.
A farce finally ended, Lan Yi only felt that her brain was buzzing, she could really get sick if she was not sick, and sent her father and Aunt Bai away, Ning Fu closed the door, her heart was pounding, "Miss, do we really want to hide even the master?" ”
Lan Yi nodded solemnly, "Hide it, Ning Fu, you have to remember, you will follow me in the future, although in Pei's Mansion, my father is the master, but in the future, only we will support each other, this is a lifelong thing." ”
Ning Fu answered, and asked again: "What is the slave going to do now?" ”
Lan Yi smiled: "Hurry up and wash up now, and get a good night's sleep, so that tomorrow I will have the strength to spread the news that I have been harmed and my condition has worsened - the farther it spreads, the better." ”
At such a juncture as the prince's choice of concubines, Aunt Bai was very glad that she was lucky, the two competitors of the daughters met hard, but they did not get good results, and at the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, the Pei family's daughter only Pei Miaoqing attended, and others had to weigh the weight of these three daughters in the hearts of Pei Daren.
She also instructed Xu's mother, "These things are too smooth, which makes me feel a little uneasy, I always feel that there will be any movement on the eldest girl's side, and the news that the eldest girl is seriously ill will be spread tomorrow. ”
Mother Xu agreed, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, after this beating, Aunt Leng's mother and daughter must hate the eldest lady even more, with them staring at it, the eldest lady can't turn over any flowers, let's just think about how to dress up the second miss, when the time comes, when it comes to the palace banquet, those princes can't take their eyes off." ”
Aunt Bai sighed, "No matter how far I go in my life, I am only from a concubine family, if Miaoqing fights for strength and earns the position of a princess, I will burn high incense every day." Taking a step back, even if she is not a princess, she is just a side concubine or concubine, it is much better than the concubine room of an ordinary family. ”
"Not really." Mother Xu waited for a change of clothes in her hand, and her mouth did not stop, "If the second lady replaces the eldest lady and enters the Qi Palace, it is very likely that she will enter the palace as the master in the future, you look at Ying Guifei Niangniang, she is not a queen but she is better than a queen, with the appearance and character of our second miss, is my aunt still worried about the day when she did not raise her eyebrows?" ”
Aunt Bai finally smiled, "Yes." If things don't go well, I shouldn't be steady, and now everything is going in a good direction, and it's too late for me to be happy. ”
Lan Yi also thought of it, in this matter, Aunt Bai became her help, the news of her serious illness spread out of Pei's mansion, spread throughout the capital, many people shook their heads and said that Miss Pei was not blessed, she had just been favored by the nobles, and she had been sick all the time, which shows that the life grid itself is a small family, and she can't afford such a status.
What's more, the world loves gentle and amiable women more, Pei Lanyi is still too proud in the end, this bit of arrogance is okay in literati and inkmen, and if it is placed on women, it will be criticized and written if it is serious, and the girls in the capital do not like her, so they can't wait to get together and tell more people the news.
The subordinates in Pei's mansion all said that the eldest lady would not have any future, compared with some time ago, Fenghe Courtyard could be said to be cold, Wan Yin was distressed, and could only comfort Lan Yi not to worry about people who worship high and low, and those arrogant rumors are mostly the conjectures of jealous women, and they don't necessarily know Lan Yi's temperament better than people close to Wan Yin Wanyu.
Lan Yi smiled: "There are so many people who worship high and low, can I care about it, as for temper, there are many people in this world who have never met but pointed fingers at other people's lives." Fortunately, now the Wind Lotus Courtyard is clean, and I can't ask for it. ”
After raising for three or five days, Aunt Li in Pei's Mansion came to see Lan Yi again, mentioned Pei Gui between words, and said very gently: "The master is actually very worried about you, but every time he is too late because of business, and it is not good to come to see you so late, don't be angry with him in your heart." After all, your injury was caused by the family law before. ”
Lan Yi knew that Pei Gui had been angry with her younger brother Pei Zhiyan recently, and she valued Aunt Li very much, and she often stayed with her, which was the most appropriate for her to say, so she nodded sensibly, "I know, aunt don't worry, as a daughter, she doesn't hold a grudge against her father, and my father and I have already made a lot of things clear, I understand it in my heart." ”
Aunt Li has a son who has everything, and unlike the other two aunts who have daughters, she needs to rely on the opportunity to plot her daughter-in-law to find a way out for the child, so she is considered an elder in the house who has been closer to Lan Yi since the death of her wife Feng Ying, and hesitated for a while at the moment, after all, she still said in a low voice: "Big girl, there is something I have always wanted to tell you, but there is no evidence, it is just a suspicious shadow, and I can't talk nonsense." ”
Lan Yi laughed, "Auntie feels sorry for me, I know very well in my heart, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, I will judge the meaning myself." ”
"It's because I think the girl has grown up, that's why I think I should let you know." Aunt Li seemed to be very pleased, "In the future, when the girl marries someone and wants to be a housekeeper, she will also hear this kind of words chasing after the wind and shadows, whether it is true or false, the girl herself knows it." ”
After a pause, Aunt Li leaned a little closer and whispered: "The day before the third girl went out to buy those medicinal powders, she stayed in the second girl's courtyard for a long time, and when she came back, she told the little girl to use the carriage the next day. Although we don't know what she said in the second girl's house, the time is too close after all, and it is inevitable that people will not think that there is something in it. ”
Lan Yi asked, "Does Daddy know?" ”
Aunt Li nodded, "The master knows, he originally ordered someone to investigate this matter, and when the report came, the master was in my room." He said that the three girls made a lot of mistakes, and he also wanted to find out the cause and effect and then guide her well. However, when I found the second girl, the master said that this matter must have nothing to do with the second girl, so I didn't check it any further. ”
Lan Yi smiled a little lost, "Thank you aunt for telling me these things, my aunt treated me well, I remember it." ”
Aunt Li looked at her expression and said gently: "I know what you think in your heart, do you think that the master still hurts the third girl more than you after all, right?" ”
Lan Yi did not avoid this topic, and said cheerfully: "I don't want to cover it up in front of my aunt, there are many children in the family, and there will always be a bowl of water when it is uneven. ”
Aunt Li took her shoulders distressedly and comforted her softly, "If you investigate this matter, not only will it be difficult to find out the result, but it will also make people say that the three girls in our house are not good, and they are harmful. And I also said, this is a matter of chasing the wind and shadows, no one knows what the second girl and the third girl said behind closed the door, maybe the second girl didn't do anything, let's be suspicious? ”
Lan Yi smiled at Aunt Li, "I know what Aunt Li means, this matter is over, there is no need to say it again, I just know how Aunt Bai and my second sister treat me." She changed the subject, "By the way, I recently heard that Zhiyan is very good at reading, and he has the style of a grandfather?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Li's face just showed a little pride in being a mother, and Ning Fu suddenly rushed in and said eagerly: "Miss, someone is in the palace!" ”
Lan Yi was stunned, and asked in an accentuated tone: "In the palace?" ”
Ning Fu nodded, "The master let me prepare, saying that Gonggong Chen, who was next to Concubine Ying, had something to bring to you, and there were some rewards and graces, although you couldn't salute and thank you if you were injured, but you must not be offended between words." ”
Aunt Li was very discerning, knowing that her identity should not stay here at this time, she hurriedly got up and said to go first, Lan Yi was in a complicated mood, and politely asked the little girl who served to send people out, and then ordered Ning Fu, "Quick, close the door." ”
Ning Fu closed the door as she said, and Lan Yi said again: "Get some water, wet the hair in front of me, it's best to make it into strands and stick it on my face, and then give me some fat powder, the whiter the better." ”
Ning Fu immediately understood what she was going to do, and hurriedly said: "Miss, the grace in the palace is to send the imperial doctor to show you, let's do this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide it." ”
When Lan Yi heard this, she was immediately stunned, Concubine Ying was bound to her, and she would not leave any face and retreat.
Could it be that he can only honestly be a side concubine for Wei Changyuan in this life? Although this may be the fate that God has set for her, she really doesn't believe that she can't change it with her own efforts.
It is said that Concubine Ying was just an ordinary palace maid in the forbidden city back then, and since she met the current saint, she has come to this position step by step, isn't she also a good example of changing her life against the sky?
Lan Yi suddenly raised his head and made up his mind: "Ning Fu, do what I just said." ”
Ning Fu didn't understand why she was like this knowing that she would be seen by the imperial doctor that she was not sick, but she had gradually learned not to ask a word that she shouldn't ask, so she immediately got busy and changed her own lady's makeup.
When Gonggong Chen came over, he was followed by a imperial doctor, and naturally there were a few little eunuchs, holding the gifts in their hands, although there were not many people, but the people in the palace had a very different momentum, Ning Fu stood aside and saluted, feeling a sense of oppression for no reason.
Seeing Lan Yi's face so bad, the kind-faced Father-in-law Chen seemed to be frightened, "Yo, I haven't seen you for a while, what's wrong with the eldest lady?" ”
Lan Yi exhaled weakly and said softly: "I should greet my father-in-law in person, but I really don't have the strength in my body, please forgive me." ”
Gonggong Chen smiled and said: "It's okay, the noble concubine sent our family here to visit the patient, not to cause trouble to the eldest lady." Niangniang looked at the big lady, and asked the imperial doctor in the palace to come over to take a look, such an honor is the first among so many ladies in Beijing. ”
Lan Yi was not pretentious, and directly stretched out his wrist, "Then it will trouble this adult." I had eaten quinoa by mistake and misused crow gall, which caused my symptoms to worsen, but fortunately, I found it in time and asked a doctor to recuperate. It is said that there are no major symptoms now, but I am very weak, and I don't know why. ”
The imperial doctor took the pulse and had doubts in his heart, but in front of the people in Pei's mansion, he was silent, and just said: "Miss Pei's illness has already been cured, and I will prescribe a dose of warm tonic prescription later, and the eldest lady will be fine in three or four days after taking it." ”
Gonggong Chen had a smile on his face, but his eyes were very cold, "Sure enough, the adults of the Tai Hospital have the ability, our family looks at Miss Pei's face is very pale and haggard, I didn't expect it to be good in three or four days, it's really a wonderful hand to rejuvenate." ”
