The people who used to serve in the Wuwu Pavilion were scattered to various places in the house, and the huge Wuwu Pavilion was Su Xiaoniang and a maid who was waiting. Even Sima Dai missed her and came to visit, but she could only talk through the door. Eating or something, it was also handed over to the maid from the plum blossom window, just like a cold palace.

The tree is falling and scattered, and Su Xiaoniang is already an abandoned woman, like a pig and a dog. Those subordinates who are responsible for delivering food only deliver things on time, and as for whether they eat or not, they don't bother to care.

The flowers and trees in the courtyard are particularly sluggish because they are uncared for. The bluestone path in the courtyard has been paved with thick fallen leaves, and it is impossible to see where the road is and where the lawn is.

The four of them walked straight in the direction of the dormitory, the door of the dormitory was hidden, and Lu's mother stepped forward and pushed it open. The door creaked, and some dust fell, and the wind got into Lu's mother's mouth and nose, and she couldn't help but let out a big sneeze.

Sima Daining rushed into the house first, looking for Su Xiaoniang's figure.

Su Xiaoniang was lying on the soft couch, her face was yellow, her lips were chapped and oozing blood, and the green silk was scattered messily on the embroidered satin pillow, and the air was less than the in. His eyes were closed, like a corpse.

The soul-seducing face of the past no longer exists.

There was a lot of food on the table in the house, exuding a pungent rancid smell, and it seemed that Su Xiaoniang hadn't eaten for several days.

As a wife, Lu Shi saw this bleak scene and felt pity.

Seeing Su Xiaoniang like this, Sima Daining rushed to the soft couch, holding Su Xiaoniang's hand tightly, tears rolling out like beads with broken threads.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you...... A-Niang, I'm Ning'er! You open your eyes and look at me......"

When Su Xiaoniang heard Sima Daining's voice, she opened her eyes slightly, her eyes were dilated, "Ning'er, you're here!" I thought I'd never see you again. "The breath is like a gossamer, and the sound is like a mosquito's chirping.

She was delighted, but not surprised.

Because, everything today was explained by her in advance.

A few days ago, when she learned from Sima Daining's mouth that Sima Dai's marriage was married, she asked Sima Daining to beg Sima Qu to let her go on the grounds that there was a happy event in the family.

She also instigated Sima Daining, if Sima Qu didn't want to, let Sima Daining hit her head on the leg of the chair and force Sima Qu to comply. Anyway, it was necessary to let Sima Qu let her out anyway.

Therefore, everything today is also what she expected.

Sima Daining seemed to feel something, and she hurriedly touched Su Xiaoniang's forehead.

"It's hot." Sima Daining hurriedly turned around and begged Lu Shi who was standing behind her: "Mother, my mother is sick and has a terrible fever, begging my mother to find a doctor for my mother." ”

Hearing this, Lu said to Lu's mother behind him: "Lu's mother, you send someone to find a doctor, and then find two maids with quick hands and feet to come over and help." ”

Lu's mother responded and bowed out of the room.

When Su Xiaoniang heard the word "mother", she moved her eyes to Lu Shi, and her haggard face showed a relieved smile.

She hates Zhong Jiayun, and the reason why she fell to such a field today is due to Zhong Jiayun. She swore that one day, if she could see the light of day again, she would not let Zhong Jiayun feel better.

Sima Dai Ning asked, "A-Niang, where is fennel?" You're sick like this, why doesn't she spread the word? ”

Su Xiaoniang didn't pay attention to Sima Daining, but looked at Lu Shi and asked, "Ning'er called your mother, Mo Feifujun has straightened you out?" ”

Lu nodded in response.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoniang laughed like crazy, and coughed violently without laughing a few times.

"A-Niang...... A-Niang...... Stop talking, just rest. Sima Daining was a little at a loss, seeing Su Xiaoniang so uncomfortable, she didn't know what to do, so she could only watch worriedly, anxious.

Lu Shi instructed Sima Daining's maid Orange and Zi to say, "You go and find a cup of water for Zhong Xiaoniang." ”

Orange and purple responded, and hurriedly went to the desk to find a cup to pour water, but there was not a drop of water in the tea kettle on the desk. She carried the tea kettle and prepared to go to the water storage tank to fetch water, but who knows, the water storage tank was also empty. She searched the entire pavilion and couldn't find a drop of water.

Returning empty-handed, she blamed herself: "Madam, the slave is useless, and she can't even find a glass of water." ”

Lu said: "You go back to your girl's residence to get it." ”

At this time, Su Xiaoniang's cough also stopped, "Don't bother, I know my own body, it's not about this glass of water." As she spoke, her elbows propped herself on the couch, and she tried to sit up.

Sima Dai Ning hurriedly stepped forward to help and helped her to sit up.

Even with Sima Daining's help, she still struggled to complete this action.

"Auntie, my father doesn't blame you anymore, you will be free from now on, and I can also move back to the Wuwu Pavilion to accompany you." Sima Dai cried with joy.

"Look at you, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've gained a lot of weight, and you're under control, but you just don't listen. Your aunt is humble and can't afford to support her old aunt. ”

At this time, Su Xiaoniang was still in the mood to joke, and Sima Dai couldn't cry or laugh after hearing it, "A-Niang, as long as you are good, Ning'er will definitely eat less and move more in the future." ”

The mother and daughter reminisced, and Lu felt a little embarrassed here.

She interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "Dai Ning, you are here to accompany your aunt, and the doctor will be there in the blink of an eye." Sister Shuyan is weak and needs to supplement some nutrients, so I will send someone to Zhang Luo. ”

After the words fell, Sima Dai Ning thanked again and again.

Lu Shi came out of the Wuwu alone, and on the way back to the Xue Pavilion, he met the mother-in-law who helped in the kitchen, and she ordered the mother-in-law to get some light food and send it to the Wuwu Pavilion.

Qi Lan Xuan, the old lady's residence.

The mother and son had a good chat.

The old lady said: "This king of Junyi is a little anxious to do things, but the number of etiquette is the same, and he is still a person with rules." Dai Yuan, this girl is stubborn, this is a high marriage, those wives and concubines in your house can explain clearly, let her accept her temperament, don't let people think that we have no tutor in Sima Mansion. If I return people again, then I really have no shame to go to see the ancestors of the Sima family. ”

Sima replied respectfully: "Mother is relieved, my son has already explained." ”

"Originally, I thought that if she married the Yu family, the Yu family would look at your face and be more accommodating and tolerant. The relationship between the Yu family is simple, and it also avoids a lot of intrigue and discord. Who would have thought that he would come to retreat. ”

"My son also regrets it, I'm afraid my two families don't have such a fate." Sima Qu paused, "Mother, before coming, Ning Er begged her son to let the Su family out. The son relented, so he agreed to the girl. ”

"Let it go! Anyway, after so long, the incident has long since faded. These are also things in your house, and my wife doesn't want to get involved too much. Show men's prestige in everything, and don't let them turn your backyard upside down. ”

"The son remembers his mother's teachings."

Liang's mother found the scissors and was about to help the old lady trim her nails, when Sima Qu saw this, she quietly stepped forward, took the scissors from Liang's mother's hand, and carefully trimmed the old lady's nails.

This Sima Qu has no merits, but he is indeed a rare filial son.

As soon as Sima Qu's hand went up, the old lady guessed that it was him, and a pleased smile appeared on her face, and said, "Calculate carefully, you shouldn't have cut the nails of the old woman for several years, right?" ”

Sima Qu lowered his head and carefully cut his nails, and asked suspiciously: "Mother, how do you know that it is a son, not Liang's mother?" ”

"Because you are my son."

A few simple words, but full of deep maternal love.

"After that, my son came over every month to help my mother trim her nails."

Sima Qu said this casually, and after the old lady heard it, her heart was as sweet as honey.

"By the way, I heard that Feng Bozhong suddenly fell ill, and no one could cure him after looking for a famous doctor?" Although the old lady does not go out of the door, and the second door does not step, she can know the world behind closed doors.

"Yes, there is such a thing, and the person who is looking for a good hand to rejuvenate is being offered!"

"Hey! I want to come to my Sima Mansion this year is an eventful autumn, I hope that the Feng family is not a person with a thin life, but I hope that the marriage of the Sheng girl can also be the same as that of the girl. ”

"The son came today to discuss the matter with his mother. In case, the son will not shy away from speaking out. In case the Feng family's erlang kicked his legs away before the wedding, it would be fine. If he waited for Guan Sheng to marry before he died, wouldn't Guan Sheng become a widow. ”

At the meeting, Sima Guansheng became famous, and if he wanted to find a high-ranking official or nobleman, it was like searching for things.

How could he let this shining daughter become an outcast. He was thinking about finding an excuse to postpone the marriage, or, taking advantage of Sima Guansheng's fame, to choose another good fate, anyway, the Feng family had not been hired yet, so doing so would not be considered a reversal.

The old lady listened to Sima Qu's words, and her expression was a little solemn.

She is the person who feels most sorry for Sima Guansheng, how could she be indifferent when she sees Sima Guansheng about to enter the fire pit.

"What you said is not unreasonable, but the Feng family is also a famous family, and the matter of repentance of marriage must not be mentioned. First, outsiders will say that our Sima Mansion is unkind; Second, the woman repents of the marriage rod of sixty, and the marriage contract remains the same. It's useless to mention it. ”

"Mother, haven't they been hired yet? Then the marriage will not be counted, and they can't find enough reason to theorize. ”

The old lady frowned slightly, hesitated for a long time, and said, "This matter will be discussed later, let me take care of it again." You go back and prepare some things, and you have to go to Feng's mansion to see what the situation of the Feng family's children is. ”

After a few words, the nails were also cut.

As soon as the old lady said this, Sima Qu was not easy to deal with.

Coming out of Qilanxuan, he followed the old lady's instructions and went to visit the Feng Mansion with gifts.

Feng Mansion, inside Feng Bozhong's dormitory.

Doctors came in and out one after another, but they all went in with their heads held high and came out dejected.

The housekeeper of the Feng Mansion led Sima Qu through the corridors and towards Feng Bozhong's dormitory. On the way, I met a doctor who left in twos and threes.

The doctors whispered.

Doctor A said: "I'm afraid that this son-in-law will die soon!" ”

Doctor B said, "Isn't it? I have been practicing medicine for 30 years and have never heard of it. ”

Doctor A replied, "Isn't it? The whole body is ulcerated, and I don't know if it will be contagious, so let's go back quickly and get some herbs to fumigate, go to the rancid smell all over the body, and disinfect it by the way. Don't get any benefits, get sick, that's really more than worth the loss. ”
