Chapter 67: For the Lantern Exhibition (5)
"What's the use of my mother's thoughts? What's the use of what my father thinks is good? Even if my aunt thinks it's good, it's useless. You all saw that day, my cousin didn't save any face for the Xue family in front of the emperor for the eldest lady of the Shang Mansion, and even my aunt was deflated. The more Xue Jia spoke, the more sad she became, and the tears couldn't stop flowing, no matter how much Ren Gong persuaded her, it was useless.
The Gong family doesn't know what to say, the daughter who is usually so sensible loves to drill horns when she encounters the affairs of the third prince. But they can't help it, Concubine Xue is from the Xue family, the Xue family can only follow Concubine Xue closely and attach to the three princes, even if they are dissatisfied with the behavior of the three princes, they can only endure it, but if there is more than one choice, the Xue family will not put all of it on Concubine Xue and the three princes.
After a while, the Xue family seemed to be angry, "Mother, my daughter has been in trouble for a while, if my cousin had that thought, she would have come to the door to propose marriage, and now her daughter has no idea." It's better for the mother to find someone to marry her daughter off at will, so as not to make the father angry for his daughter and aunt and cousin. ”
"What are you talking about? You are the pearl in the hands of your parents, how can you let you marry someone at will? Seeing that Xue Jia began to talk nonsense, Gong interrupted Xue Jia's words with an unhappy expression, "You only take care of your body, and after the year, this matter will always be over." ”
The sternness and unquestionability in Gong's words made Xue Jia stunned, stopped crying, and thought in his heart.
Fortunately, the doctor came soon.
As soon as Gong saw the doctor coming, he immediately got up from the edge of the bed to make room for the doctor, "Doctor, hurry up and take a look." ”
The doctor was not stubborn, put down the medicine box and diagnosed Xue Jia's pulse. After a while, the doctor said earnestly, "I said before that patients need to recuperate, and their emotions can't fluctuate, so why don't you listen?" ”
"Doctor, this is our fault, how is the little girl now? Look at this big New Year..."Gong looked at Xue Jia who was still crying worriedly, and looked at the doctor with a headache on his face.
"Today, I'll take a strong medicine to treat it first, and I'll talk about it after this time." The doctor walked over to the table and began to write a prescription, "Remember, don't be happy or sad, your mood is always fluctuating, it is not good for your condition. ”
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry for the doctor." Gong Shi accompanied the smiling face, and then thought of something, "Doctor, will this fierce medicine have side effects?" ”
"Don't worry, it won't." The doctor said indifferently, and wrote the prescription without raising his head, "Na, follow this recipe to get the medicine and boil the medicine, and it will be effective at night." ”
"Thank you, doctor." Gong beckoned his subordinates to get the doctor's consultation money, and asked the doctor to send the doctor out, and then ordered someone to get the medicine and decoction. Gong, who had been busy for a while, was only idle now, looking at Xue Jia, who was haggard, he had something to say, but swallowed it back.
"You have a good rest, drink medicine for a while, and have a family banquet in the evening, you can't be absent." After speaking, he didn't care what Xue Jia's reaction was, and left with his subordinates.
Xue Jia watched Gong leave without looking back, and felt even more sad.
When Ruomeng came back from decoction of medicine, Xue Jia had already fallen asleep crying, and the tear stains on her face were still clearly visible. Ruomeng walked to the side of the bed with the medicine bowl, put the bowl on the low stool next to the bed, and shouted softly, "Miss, the medicine is decoctioned, you get up and drink the medicine and go to sleep." ”
"Miss..."Wakamu raised her voice.
Xue Jia opened her eyes leisurely, and it took a long time to come back to her senses and look at Ruomeng, and tears began to flow again.
If the dream is a little panicked, why is it so painful, Miss? "Miss, don't think about it, Miss is such a good person, the third prince mistakenly treats pearls as fish eyes, why does Miss punish herself like this?"
Xue Jia did not feel better because of Ruomeng's words, but the tears still stopped, after all, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, in this way, I am afraid that I will really be disgusted by everyone, "Serve me to drink medicine." ”
Ruomeng heard the words, stepped forward to help Xue Jia with one hand, picked up the pillow with the other hand and put it behind Xue Jia, then picked up the medicine bowl, scooped the medicine with a spoon and blew it into Xue Jia's mouth, Xue Jia drank without a mouthful, until the medicine bowl bottomed out, Ruomeng put down the bowl and waited for Xue Jia to lie down, covered the quilt and lowered the curtain before picking up the medicine bowl and turning away.
Ruomeng went out of the room and sent someone to report to the Gong family, and the Gong family was relieved when he got the news that Xue Jia had already drunk the medicine and rested, and talked about it, what is the matter. After that, Gong said a lot in front of Xue Shangshu, the more Xue Shangshu listened, the more ugly his face became, Gong was very good at looking at his face, and knew that Xue Shangshu had already listened to her words, so he stopped.
The people in the capital are moving, and today's capital is particularly lively.
Xie Da and the others gathered in Xie San's Budrunk Building, the best guest room on the second floor, Xie Da and Xie Liu sat around the round table, and no one moved their chopsticks. Xie Liu, a woman, sat in a group of people, and there was no sense of disobedience.
Xie Da glanced at Xie Si and motioned for Xie Si to speak first, everyone looked at Xie Si and waited for him to speak.
"Today, Manmu went to the Pavilion to get clothes, and took two sets of similar clothes." After Xie Si finished speaking, he looked at Xie Da again, and everyone looked at Xie Da in unison.
Xie Da took over the topic, "Manmu then went to 'Bao Zhai' and took two sets of jade bead jewelry. After speaking, everyone was a little confused. Is that what we are talking about today?
Still Xie Wu couldn't stand it, and gave everyone a roll of his eyes, and everyone had a feeling of being despised when they saw Xie Wu's white eyes. Xie Liu stretched out his hand to help his hair bun, the amorous Xie Liu had no temptation in front of the other five, Xie Liu saw that the other people did not react, and pursed his lips. Xie Wu still couldn't help but speak, "The master asked the dark night to deploy manpower to protect the safety of the eldest lady and the eldest young master of the Ming Mansion today, and also took the master's human skin mask from the organization. ”
"Human skin masks?" The other five asked rhetorically at the same time.
Xie Wu was speechless, but still nodded.
Xie San couldn't hold it back for a long time, and at this time, he grabbed the topic and said, "What does the master want to do?" Why didn't you notify us this time? ”
"Do you know that the young concubine in the palace is pregnant, and before that, the master had specially ordered to pay special attention to the young concubine and the princess, and now? This young concubine is pregnant under the nose of the master, and the master still doesn't know any news, you say....." Hearing this, Xie Da and Xie Sixiang both had the heart to die, and today the two of them also teased Manmu, if Manmu said a word in front of the master....The two of them couldn't think about it.
"Or the mask thing." Xie Liucai didn't care about this, she was still thinking about the master's request to prepare the mask.
"You still don't know about this." Xie Wu didn't want to say anything more when he said this. But the appetite of the people was hung high.
