Chapter 6: Visitation
"That's because I have more important things to do...... Xie Jinyi's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "Ziyu, do you remember the evening when my grandfather's house was destroyed?" ”
It's been ten years.
The people of the capital were very secretive about this matter, and they invariably chose to remain silent.
However, the firelight in the sky that night burned her heart forever, and her grandfather, who was an envoy of the Tai Hospital, saved countless people with his wonderful hands, but could not save his own life...... The executioner refused to let the body be collected, so he simply set fire to the house and burned it clean!
When her mother Su Shi heard the news, she fainted and died.
The Xie family was also in a mess.
I'm afraid of being connected.
At the age of five, she heard some rumors, so she took Ziyu and took her out to see, and happened to see the fire in the sky, the raging sea of fire, and she could feel the fear and heat from afar, and she had never seen such a big fire......
"The slave will never dare to forget ......" Ziyu's eyes instantly turned red.
Her parents were also martyred as a result.
Every time I dream back at midnight, I don't know how much I get wet!
Xie Jinyi patted her hand and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Although I am not as skilled as my grandfather, I also have the blood of the Su family in my body, and I will also have the medical skills of the Su family, I will give you a prescription later, you go to the Jishitang pharmacy to grab medicine, and within two months, my complexion will return to normal, but all this must be hidden from everyone, including everyone in the Xie family!" ”
"Girl, you, do you prescribe medicine?" Ziyu couldn't believe her ears.
The first lady Su did leave a lot of medical books, but, but the fifth girl had never even touched it for so many years, how could she suddenly become a medical master?
"I'll tell you this later, remember what I told you, and don't show any." Xie Jinyi didn't want to explain too much, so he said lightly, "Besides, tomorrow you go to the Jishitang Pharmacy to find Su Bo, and say that I am sick, and let him come into the house to see me." ”
Su Fu was the chief shopkeeper sent by the Su family to help his mother take care of the shop.
In his previous life, it was because he refused to hand over the account books of sixteen shops to Xu Shenxing that he was poisoned by the Xu family...... It was she who affected Su Fu, and it is impossible to compensate for it in this life.
Ziyu saw that her girl's expression was solemn, as if she had changed someone, she suddenly felt frightened in her heart, hesitated for a while, and asked: "Since the girl has already calculated, why did she suffer those twenty sticks in vain......
You can get past it!
"Ziyu, if I don't take those twenty sticks, how can I quickly get through my acupuncture points......" Xie Jinyi said lightly, "In short, you will kill two birds with one stone, and you will be able to lose weight in a short period of time after I have finished the matter with Master Xu!" ”
Ziyu doesn't know how to do medicine.
She didn't want to explain too much.
After a while, Mother Meng's voice sounded outside the curtain: "Girl, Mother Xue is here." ”
After getting the answer, Mother Xue lifted the curtain and walked in, and blessed her body without humility or arrogance: "Fifth girl, the old lady asked the slave maid to take some blood-invigorating plasters from the treasury to heal the girl's injuries, and the old lady gave a message to the girl, if the girl still pities her reputation, stay in the house to recuperate with peace of mind, and don't go out at will, the old lady also said, you and the matter between you and the young master Xu, it is not too late to discuss it when the young master Xu asks the prince to be sealed, before that, the girl and the young master Xu, it is better not to meet!" ”
Since Xu entered the door, Xie Jinyi has been separated from the old lady.
In addition to the daily greetings, there is almost no movement on weekdays, if you say that you are close, it is not as good as the few concubines in the house.
"Please Mother Xue to return to grandmother, Jinyi knows that she is wrong!" Xie Jinyi lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly, "When the grounding period expires, I will go to Shengning Hall to ask my grandmother for guilt." ”
Xie Ting spoils his wife and concubine, and he is not bad to Cheng Linyu, but he doesn't like her, his own flesh and blood.
Old Madam Gu only has a big house in her eyes.
She was on her own.
Seeing that Xie Jinyi looked tired, Mother Xue didn't say anything anymore and bowed her knees.
"Is that really what the fifth girl said?" Old Madam Gu asked suspiciously, and Mother Xue nodded: "The fifth girl has been beaten by the board, and her temper has been restrained a lot, she said that when the grounding period expires, she will come to the old lady to ask for guilt." ”
Old Madam Gu bowed slightly: "How is her injury?" ”
She knew that it was the cane torturer's subordinates who showed mercy.
Otherwise, the fifth girl is afraid that she will be swaying at the ghost gate!
This girl should be taught such a good lesson!
"It looks like I'm in good spirits, but I'm young, my body is good, and if I take care of it for a few more days, it's fine." Mother Xue replied, "Old lady, don't worry too much, I heard that the second lady ordered the kitchen to stew chicken soup and send it over!" ”
Mother Xue doesn't like Xie Jinyi, and is only loyal to Old Madam Gu.
Old Madam Gu was very kind to their family, especially to her daughter Mingyue, Old Madam Gu said that she would get rid of Mingyue and find a good family to marry.
Mother Xue was even more grateful to Dade.
I can't wait to be a cow and a horse to repay Mrs. Gu.
"That's good!" Old Madam Gu rubbed her forehead and lay down in her clothes, as long as the girl didn't make too much trouble, it didn't hurt to keep her food and drink...... Mother Xue stepped forward to put the curtains, the lilac-colored curtains were layered on top of each other, the green pines and white cranes were embroidered vividly, looking at the embroidery work of her daughter Mingyue, Mother Xue was honored with Yourong, and listened to the old lady Gu's instructions, "If the people from the Yong'an Hou Mansion come to visit the five girls, they will not be allowed to see them, especially the young master Xu, and he is not allowed to get close to Qingxin Yuan. ”
The Xu family's wishful thinking is playing well.
Are they fools when Anping Bofu is a fool?
"Yes!" Mother Xue rubbed the pattern on the tent, picked up the candle on the table, and went to the next room to rest easily.
The night was dark and the wind was biting.
Xu and Cheng Linyu entered Qingxin Garden one after the other.
Ziyu greeted her expressionlessly: "Second lady, sixth girl, fifth girl has rested." ”
"Let's go in and see the fifth sister, say a few words and leave." Cheng Linyu was wearing a pink cloak, her pretty face was red from the cold, and she said softly, "The fifth sister is injured like this, if my mother doesn't go over to take a look, she will be unable to sleep all night." ”
Xu Shi looked at the dim candlelight in the main room, lowered his head and wiped away his tears: "After all, I was useless and didn't take care of your fifth sister." ”
As soon as the words fell, the candlelight in the main room flickered and went out.
The whole courtyard seemed to fall into the darkness at once.
Seeing Xu's embarrassment, Cheng Linyu gently grabbed her and comforted: "Mother rest assured, the fifth sister will get better soon." ”
"Second lady, sixth girl, please go back!" Ziyu turned her head to look at the dark main room, and then turned back to look at the mother and daughter standing in the cold wind, her voice was cold, "The girl has just been beaten, she is thin-skinned, and she doesn't want to see anyone, if the second lady is really good to the fifth girl, don't come to visit again, when the girl is better, she will go to the old lady to say goodbye." ”
The mother and daughter couldn't insist anymore and went back to Qiulan Courtyard in a huff.
"Mother, the fifth sister doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and she dares to say that she will wait for Cousin Shen to canonize the prince before coming to discuss family affairs." Cheng Linyu took Xu into the inner room, took off her cloak and handed it to Mother Chi, and said sneeringly, "She is so rude, the old lady is still indulging her." ”
It's hard for her Zhilan Yushu's cousin Shen, and she still has to say those love words against her heart to the rough and unbearable Xie Jinyi.
However, Xie Jinyi is a master who dares to open a dyeing workshop with a few colors, and he even dares to bargain inch by inch, which is really unbeknownst to the sky.
Mother Chi put down her cloak and stepped forward to serve tea to the mother and daughter.
A few pieces of silver bone charcoal were added to the brazier, and the charcoal was red, and the room was instantly warm like spring.
Xu's pretty face suddenly became gloomy, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Let's bear with it, when she enters the door of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, she can't help but mess around, your second aunt won't be as accustomed to her as I am as a stepmother......"
If it weren't for that fool's sake, how could she have allowed her so many years!
When the Su family died, Xie Jinyi was still young, and Mrs. Gu took over the Su family's property, saying that when Xie Jinyi got married, she would return it to Xie Jinyi.
Xie Ting was useless, he begged for those shops several times, but he was scolded back by Old Madam Gu.
The sixteen shops on Chongzheng Street have made a profit, but they have two bedrooms and can't get a penny...... The reason why Mrs. Gu shirked this family business in every possible way was that she definitely didn't want to hand over the shop, hmph, she didn't believe that Mrs. Gu was fair, and it might be possible to subsidize the big house nine times out of ten.
No, we have to find a way to let Xie Jinyi marry Xu Shenxing as soon as possible.
