Chapter 41: Layout (4)
Hagi Niang flipped to "Wang Daoping's Wife" and read it eloquently: "Once upon a time, Wang Daoping and Tang Wenyu, a woman from the same village, vowed to become husband and wife, and later Wang Daoping was conscripted to the battlefield, and Tang Wenyu was forced by his parents to marry Liu Xiang, and finally died of depression. When Wang Daoping heard the news after his return, he wept bitterly in front of Tang Wenyu's tomb, and prayed that if Tang Wenyu had a god, please come out and meet him for the last time. Tang Wenyu's soul really appeared, and she asked Wang Daoping to open the coffin and tell him that she would resurrect and remarry him. Liu Xiang was very unconvinced after learning about this incident, and appealed to the government, and the king finally married Tang Wenyu to Wang Daoping as his wife, and the two of them finally had a lover and finally became a family. Thinking of this, Hagi Niang raised her eyes and looked at Zheng, and said pointedly: "It can be seen that even ghosts and gods will not be able to stand it and help a marriage concluded without considering the happiness of their children, let alone the emperor of the world." ”
Zheng's face turned white and he didn't say anything, so Hagi Niang turned to another story and continued to read.
Her voice was very beautiful, telling one story after another, and Zheng really listened to it very attentively. When Cuihuan came in with the medicine, she didn't pay attention. Hagi Niang put down the book, took the medicine bowl, and naturally served Zheng's medicine.
In the gilded six-character mantra auspicious incense burner on the side, the curling green smoke is spreading in all directions. On one side is a woman who is sick in bed and still listening, and on the other side is a girl who is reading with a scroll in her hand.
He nodded and walked away reassuringly.
For a few days, Hagi Niang was stayed in Zheng's yard, morning and dusk, very hardworking, and there was no trace of boredom and slackness, and even the most disciplined strict mother couldn't find a little fault. Originally, Zheng wanted to take the opportunity of Haginiang's illness to let Zang Jun see how unfilial his daughter was and did not obey the housewife, but now it seems that it is completely counterproductive, and Zang Jun can't help but praise Zheng's filial piety.
However, the Zheng family, because she eats the decoction offered by Hagi Niang every day, even if she guarantees that there is absolutely no problem with the jade and cuihuan, she still can't help but suspect that she has a dark ghost, and her spirit is getting worse and worse.
In the afternoon of this day, Zheng was taking a quiet nap in the house, and Jade was gently fanning her on the side.
Suddenly, one of the Zheng spirits sat up, and Cuiyu was startled and asked, "Madam, are you up now?" ”
Who knew that Zheng Shi didn't seem to hear her, and looked ahead in a daze, and after a long time, he lay down again. Jade looked at her carefully, and fell asleep again.
Although Jade was scared enough, she felt that Madame should be stunned, and she didn't care too much.
At dusk, Hagi Niang and Cuihuan came together, Cuihuan brought the decoction, and the two of them waited for Zheng to wake up together.
It didn't take long for Zang Jun to also come to visit the Zheng family, and Hagi Niang smiled and saluted: "Say hello to my father, my mother is still sleeping, and I ask my father to come back later." ”
At this moment, Zheng woke up slowly, probably just by Hagi Niang's voice, she was not fully awake, and her eyes looked at everyone in the room in confusion.
Zang Jun stepped forward and asked with concern, "Madam, how do you feel about your body?" ”
Zheng was still dumbfounded.
Hagi Niang walked aside with the medicine bowl and said gently, "Mother, it's time to take the medicine." ”
Zheng's eyes lit up, staring at the medicine bowl with a frightened face, and he almost couldn't help himself: "No~~ This medicine can't be eaten!" You can't take this medicine! ”
Zang Jun was very puzzled, he stepped forward and grabbed Zheng's shoulder, shook it twice, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Zheng Shi felt the temperature on his hand, his eyes gradually cleared, she looked at Zang Jun, stroked her forehead, and said: "It may be that I have just woken up, and it is my recklessness to worry the master." ”
Hagi Niang also looked frightened, holding the bowl of medicine, not going up, not leaving, very embarrassing.
Zang Jun took the bowl in her hand and said to Zheng gently: "You just worry too much, if you don't take medicine, how can your illness get better?" Saying that he fed her spoonful by spoonful, Zheng was unhappy in his heart, and he couldn't stand his husband's concern, so he couldn't help but eat it all.
Zang Jun was very worried, so he and Hagi Niang accompanied her for a while, and when he saw her look as usual, he was relieved.
After Hagi Niang and Zang Jun left, Zheng immediately asked Cuiyu to pour a large bowl of warm water into her stomach, and pressed her fingers to her throat regardless of the dirt, trying to spit out the medicine she had just drunk.
Cuiyu said puzzledly: "Madam, this medicine is indeed fine." ”
Cuihuan was even more aggrieved, she said with a sad face: "Madam, you have already found someone to check this prescription, and there is no problem." This medicinal herb was caught by the slave and maid herself, and the slave and maid personally washed the medicine jar and fried it in water, and no one else touched it with a finger in the middle. If you really don't believe in the slave maid, you might as well change the jade to decoction the medicine, the slave and the maid are not complaining, but on this hot day, the slave and maid have really tried their best. ”
Zheng said: "I feel that I am not in good spirits these days, and as you can see just now, I am obviously a little wrong. ”
Cuiyu comforted: "Madam, it is normal for you to be a little dizzy after lying in bed for a long time. As for just now, you're just getting a nightmare. ”
Cuihuan wished that she didn't take the medicine, and hurriedly said: "Madame doesn't want to take medicine, don't take it, anyway, I'm not sick." ”
Jade had to chimed in: "Exactly." Even if it's a tonic, it's not good to eat more. She seemed to be very sad, and added: "If you don't take medicine, if the lord and the aunt think that your illness has been cured, what can you do?" ”
At this time, Yan's mother volunteered: "Madam, if you don't go and decoct the old slave to give you medicine, you don't worry about Cuihuan, you can't worry about the slave, the slave and the maid have watched you grow up." The slave and maid have promised you that you will never let the little prostitute touch your medicine. ”
Zheng thought for a while and said, "Mother Yan, it's not that I don't worry about you, it's just that you are old and have a hard time." In this way, it's still a cuihuan decoction, you just sit on the side and make your eyes. He asked Cuiyu to bring her own makeup, took out a gold-inlaid pearled orchid hairpin, handed it to Cuihuan and said: "Cuihuan, I know you have worked hard recently, I don't believe you at all, but that ghost girl is very ghostly, I am afraid that you will be calculated by her and I don't know it." Let Yan's mother decoct the medicine with you, and the two of you will feel more at ease together. ”
Cuihuan was aggrieved and aggrieved, and said: "Madame is too worried, Cuihuan is not hard, Cuihuan has been by Madame's side since she was a child, Madame has always been kind to the slave maid, and the slave and maid should do anything for Madame." ”
Zheng said: "I always feel that girl has been plotting recently, and my body is also quite problematic, we can't continue like this, we must strike first." Mother Yan, the things arranged before can be carried out. ”
Yan's mother nodded and said, "Madam, please rest assured, the Taoist priest that the old slave is looking for is here from Youfang, and he will leave here after finishing his work for Madame." The slave gave the Taoist priest two ingots of gold, and he shouted that he would not earn so much money in his life, and he must work diligently for his wife. She chuckled lightly and said, "There are many such things in the big mansion, and the Taoist priest has also encountered a much more complicated situation than this, and the slave maid has talked to him, he is very sensible, and he will never cause trouble for his wife." ”
Zheng felt that it sounded quite reliable, and said: "Mother Yan, you can do it at your discretion, if it is necessary, it is also necessary to give more gold and silver, and this matter must be foolproof." ”
Yan's mother agreed, but she didn't think so, the poor Taoist priest saw the two ingots of gold, and his eyes were about to burst out, if he gave him more, maybe he would be insatiable.
