Chapter 40: Layout (3)
In the study, Zang Jun was admiring his new painting.
After the Jin Dynasty crossed to the east, the subjects of the Eastern Jin Dynasty looked at the different rivers and mountains, and there were many people who held world-weary concepts. On the contrary, it promoted the rise of religion, and the style of painting was also influenced by it, and carried forward its brilliance along with religion. Therefore, the most fashionable painting subject at that time was figure painting, and the top of the figure painting was the Taoist interpretation painting, whether it was a collection of paintings or the walls of temples, solemn religious figure paintings were common.
The most outstanding contemporary painter is Xie An's most admired Jinling Wuxi Gu Kaizhi, during the Xingning period of the previous dynasty, he had selected a blank wall in the Jiankang Wa Coffin Temple, and painted a huge portrait of Vimala alone, when the door was opened, the colossus statue of Vimala on the wall, glorified the entire temple, so that the unknown tile coffin temple became famous for a time, and raised millions of money.
This time, Mrs. Ruan took Zang Jun's favor and sent several volumes of Taoist paintings by Cao Buxing in the previous dynasty and Gu Kaizhi in the contemporary dynasty, and Zang Jun couldn't put it down, watching the worship day and night.
Therefore, when Zheng's personal maid Cuihuan came to report the illness of the housewife, Zang Jun did not take it to heart, and only said that he asked his wife not to work hard and to recuperate.
Zheng was pretending to be sick, and his husband didn't come to cheer, so he suddenly wilted.
Seeing this, Cuiyu encouraged and said: "The lady has only been sick for a day, and it is normal for the master not to come to visit the doctor. ”
Zheng thought about it, so he pretended to send a message to Haginiang, only saying that he occasionally felt cold, so she didn't have to come to ask for peace.
Sure enough, two days later, Zang Jun found that his wife was still lingering on the sickbed, and he came to visit the patient in person with some anxiety.
I saw Zheng leaning on the couch with a pale face, holding his forehead on his head, looking sick.
He asked with concern, "What's the matter, madam, does it look like her illness hasn't eased for many days?" ”
Before Zheng could answer, Cuiyu first called Qu Lai: "The master doesn't know, Madame's illness can't even be explained by Lang Zhong, only that it is a disease of qi deficiency, and it is necessary to have peace of mind and more nourishment." It's just that since Mrs. was sick, the eldest lady visited and accompanied her from the future, and she was very indifferent, and Mrs. was in a bad mood, so she didn't get better. ”
Zheng gestured and said, "I want you to talk more." On the other hand, he said to Zang Jun: "Master, don't listen to that little hoof's nonsense, I asked my aunt not to come to ask for peace, I'm afraid that I will give it to her after being sick." ”
Zang Jun said angrily: "You are not a contagious disease, what do you say about sickness?" That unfilial girl, knowing that her mother was sick and not coming to serve, is really unfilial. He also instructed Liu's mother: "Mother Liu, go and pass the word to the unfilial girl, and only ask her if she knows that 'good deeds are filial piety to parents', and whether you understand the truth of 'son loves relatives'." If she's not sensible, she'll report me again. ”
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and went away in a huff.
Jade gave Zheng a smug look, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
After a long time, Zheng's neck was waiting for a long time, and Hagi Niang was late, she bowed down leisurely and said, "Hagi Niang said hello to my mother." I don't know what kind of illness my mother has, but it makes Haginiang extremely worried. It's just that there was no worry in her expression, only a secret mockery.
Zheng already had a ghost in his heart, and said angrily: "Mother, do you still have to explain everything to you?" I'm too lenient with you on weekdays. You have heard your father's words, and from today onwards you will serve me here and do your filial piety as a child. ”
"Yes, Mother. In this case, I will go to the medicine for you first. Hagi Niang replied.
Seeing that she was going out, Zheng became anxious, she grabbed Cuiyu's hand and asked, "How is this good?" Do I really want to take this little slut's fried medicine? If you don't get sick, you're sick. ”
Cuiyu comforted her and said: "How can it, this prescription is a warm and tonic fitness medicine, you can't eat bad people, the medicine and decoction are all done by Cuihuan herself, and she will never let the cheap girl handle it, at most, the girl is watching from the side, and finally brings it to you personally." ”
Zheng was a little relieved and said: "It's a medicine that is three points poisonous, and it's better not to eat it if you can." ”
Cui Yu said with a smile: "That's right, don't worry, madam, as long as you persist for a few days, the Taoist priest we arranged will be able to play, and when everything is a foregone conclusion, the cheap girl will know how powerful you are." ”
Zheng imagined the picture of his eyebrows raised, and suddenly felt that the good medicine was bitter, and it was also bearable. She finally said: "That's the only way, there is no turning back when you open the bow, you tell Cuihuan more, don't let that little hoof take advantage of the loophole." ”
Cuiyu agreed, and went to tell Cuihuan not to mention it.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the Zheng family, Hagi Niang over there did not bring the usual Li mother Cui Mama, but the youngest Cai Tang served by her side, and the two sat by the medicine stove and chatted with Cuihuan without a match. In order to avoid suspicion, Hagi Niang didn't do anything at all, and indeed just watched Cuihuan decoction on the side, because of the heat, Caitang only occasionally helped her fan the wind.
On this day, when Zheng's mother-in-law, Yan's mother-in-law, came to the pharmacy, she saw such a scene, Cai Tang fanned, Cuihuan decocted medicine, and Hagi Niang sat on the side and dozed off boredly. She was half relieved, and asked Cuihuan: "Madame asked me to ask how long it will take to cook, and she is still waiting for the eldest lady to accompany her." ”
Cuihuan sat and decocted the medicine every day, and the weather was very hot, she was so angry that she held back her anger and said: "Mom, Lang Zhong also said when he prescribed the medicine, it must be slowly fried for more than two hours, please wait a while, Mrs. ”
After all, the weather was too hot, Cuihuan was impetuous, and she didn't even hear the meaning of Yan's mother's words, Yan's mother was robbed by her for a while, and her heart said that this little hoof can't be on the stage after all, and it is not clear who is an outsider and who is her own family, so she has to laugh and say: "Girl, Madame misses you very much, please go to accompany Madame first, Cuihuan will send it to Madame after decoction." ”
Hagi Niang didn't shirk it, held Caitang's hand, and shook it step by step.
Zheng smiled on his face and said with a pleasant face: "Hagi Niang is very filial, but I only feel sorry recently, if Hagi Niang has a heart, you might as well take some words and read them to me, it's also good." ”
This method is also taught by Cuiyu, only that it is not said that the eldest lady will not be wandering around in the yard, and lest she bring tea and water, and the Zheng family will not be happy.
Hagi replied meekly, "Yes, Mother." ”
Cuiyu then took a copy of "Sou Shen Ji", which can be said to be a masterpiece of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, recording more than 400 strange novels and stories during the Han Dynasty, which can be said to be the most popular novel reading book at that time.
It is worth mentioning that the Zhiwei novel, which seems to be nonsense now, was the latest news network compilation at that time. People believed in the existence of ghosts and gods, and most of the novels were based on the idea that "good people will be rewarded" and "lovers will eventually become married", so they deeply resonated with the people of the world who were suffering from the war at that time.
