Chapter 5 Getting Closer to Grandmother
Back in the room, the exhausted Xia Mengning fell on the bed, and when she woke up again, it was already afternoon.
Picking up the gauze tent with her hands, Zhulian on the side immediately stepped forward and asked softly, "Miss, is she awake?" Xia Mengning sat up, holding her head slightly, her eyebrows tightly entangled, "Zhulian, what time is it now?" Zhu Lian lightly helped Xia Mengning to get out of bed and sit on the edge of the table, poured a cup of tea and said, "But it's afternoon." Xia Mengning shook her head, only feeling a headache, Zhu Lian said on the side: "Miss has to eat a snack mat first, the slave maid has already boiled the medicine and warmed it on the stove, so let's bring it." ”
Xia Mengning nodded, took a sip of tea, why did her head hurt so much, why did she wake up in bed again, Xia Mengning thought carefully, but she still couldn't sort out her thoughts, and the more she thought about it, the more it hurt.
Zhu Lian came in with medicine and snacks, and Xia Mengning asked, "Zhu Lian, why does my head hurt so much?" It doesn't seem to be due to the wind chill. ”
Zhu Lian's face immediately had a look of annoyance, and she said angrily, "The eldest lady always said that she had a headache a few days ago, and she invited a demon girl out of nowhere, but it was said that the young lady's eight characters restrained her, and the old man asked the young lady to kneel in the ancestral hall to pray for the eldest lady, but before she knelt for a day, the young lady was carried back with blood on her head. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Lian's face was fierce, and she seemed to be a little angry, "The slave maid heard from the mother of the ancestral hall that the day before the young lady went to kneel, the eldest lady had been to the ancestral hall, but it was such a coincidence, the young lady went to kneel, and the beam at the top fell down, and the young lady was carried back without much breath......"
Xia Mengning sneered, I'm afraid that someone did it on purpose, in his previous life, he was hit by a beam, and Zhu Lian also said this to herself, but it was because she was blinded by lard, and she couldn't listen to Zhu Lian's words at all, and she stupidly thanked the Fang family for the medicine she sent, and now, I'm afraid that this medicine also has a problem.
"Zhu Lian, do you still have this medicine residue?" Xia Mengning asked, Zhu Lian nodded, and suddenly thought of something, "Miss suspects that there is something wrong with this medicine?" ”
Xia Mengning nodded, "Even if I was hit by the beam, I wouldn't have such a headache until now, today I saw that the person who decocted the medicine was Yue'er, and I had a little doubt in my heart, and now looking at Fang's attitude, I am even more convinced, you quietly brought it in, don't let people see it." Zhulian nodded and walked out of the door, Xia Mengning picked up the bowl on the table and walked to the window, there was a pot of lush beauty tears on the windowsill, and the flowers were clustered little by little, and the pink ones were beautiful.
In his previous life, he favored this beautiful tear!
Thinking of this, Xia Mengning poured all the medicinal juice into the basin with his hand, and the brown liquid seeped into the soil little by little, and there was an indescribable weirdness.
Zhu Lian walked in, took out a silk loop from her sleeve, opened it and handed it to Xia Mengning, "Miss, this is the residue of Yue'er's decoction in the morning." ”
Xia Mengning took it and put it under her nose and smelled it, and immediately knew it, Zhu Lian looked at her appearance and was slightly puzzled, "Do you want the slave maid to take it out and show it to the doctor, maybe you can know what kind of medicine is in it." ”
Xia Mengning shook his head and smiled: "No need, I naturally know it in my heart." "Where would Zhu Lian know that she was reborn, in her previous life, in order to protect Changsun Mo in the chaotic battle, she studied hard every night to read medical books, which is the medical skills of ordinary imperial doctors, I am afraid that she is not as good as herself.
As soon as I smelled it, Xia Mengning knew in his heart, these are just medicines for relieving pain, clearing heat and detoxifying, it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong, but there is clearly a green leaf in this residue, Xia Mengning smiled, this doctor prescribes medicine is also very powerful, if it is an ordinary doctor, he will definitely not distinguish the ingredients of green leaves, green leaves are hot, ordinary people will be hot and uncomfortable if they eat a little less, this doctor adds a little bit of his medicine every day, he will not die too quickly, but he can drag it all the time.
This Fang clan tried his best to eradicate himself, in his previous life, he only had a big life, but why did the Fang clan want to use such a maneuvering method to deal with himself.
Inadvertently looking at her face in the mirror, Xia Mengning suddenly smiled, she was hit by a beam, and then she lay on the bed every day, and a month later it was the birthday of the current Queen Mother, and she had nowhere to go in the house, so she met Sun Mo, the county prince who happened to come to find her father.
Hahaha, Xia Mengning couldn't help laughing, Fang's Clan, Fang's Clan, I've been reborn, see how you make this wishful thinking.
After thinking about it, Xia Mengning picked up the brush on the side and quickly wrote a few lines on the paper, dried the ink and handed it to Zhu Lian, "You go and grab the medicine according to the medicinal materials on it, if someone else asks, it will be said that the fourth aunt is not happy." ”
Zhu Lian took the prescription and walked out, Xia Mengning sat at the table next to her and looked at the pot of beautiful tears, and had a plan in her heart.
In the evening, Zhu Lian had already boiled the medicine that she had re-captured, Xia Mengning drank it without frowning, Zhu Lian hurriedly handed over the candied fruit on the side, Xia Mengning embroidered the purse with the candied fruit in her mouth for a while, and saw that the sky was getting dark, so she let Zhu Lian in.
"Miss is going to bed?" Zhu Lian asked hurriedly.
Xia Mengning shook her head and asked, "Why didn't you see Mother Fu today?" ”
Zhu Lian's face was not worried, but thinking that Miss Fu had always respected her mother on weekdays, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
Xia Mengning immediately understood that she was cowardly and timid in her previous life, and she thought that Fu's mother was a mother sent by the eldest lady and blindly flattered her, but in this bamboo branch garden, it seemed that she was the master.
"Zhulian, you don't have to be difficult, I am no longer the same character as before, after this incident, I have long seen the good and bad of the people in this house, you are a loyal, but that mother ......"
Zhu Lian raised her head in disbelief, and there were tears in her eyes, "Miss, a few days ago, when Miss was lying on the bed, Mother Fu went to the eldest lady's Yilan Garden by herself, saying that the eldest lady's headache had not healed, and she was going to serve her." ”
A hint of fierceness flashed in Xia Mengning's eyes, this old slave wasted his trust in her, no matter what, such a slave would be removed sooner and purified sooner.
Xia Mengning thought for a while, and said to Zhulian on the side, "You go to the courtyard of the fourth aunt and ask her for a hand-copied Buddhist scripture, and she says I want to use it." Although Zhu Lian didn't know why, she still felt that Miss's words must be reasonable, so she turned around and walked out.
Xia Mengning took out a little bit of the medicine residue on the table, put it in the palm of her hand and grinded it slowly, and then put it into the basin of beautiful tears.
Early the next morning, Xia Mengning got up early, and after dressing up, she hurriedly had some breakfast, and asked Zhu Lian to go to Furong Hall with the Buddhist scriptures and the pot of beautiful tears.
When she got closer, the mother-in-law at the door immediately greeted her, and she was a little surprised when she saw the person who came, "The third lady is here." ”
Xia Mengning smiled and nodded slightly, her bright eyes shining like jewels, "I got up early today, and I came to say hello to my grandmother." ”
The mother-in-law immediately echoed and smiled, "The old lady hasn't gotten up yet, the third lady ......" "It's okay, I'll go in and wait for my grandmother." Interrupting the mother-in-law's words first, Xia Mengning didn't stop and walked in with Zhulian.
Lifting the door curtain, it was Xia Mengning's grandmother Xie who was sitting on the main seat, Xia Mengning smiled gently, took a few steps forward and leaned down to salute, "Grandmother Wan'an, when I was just in the front yard, the mother-in-law said that my grandmother hadn't gotten up yet." ”
The soft and glutinous voice carried the sweetness of the little daughter's family, and Xie Shi, who was sitting above, was stunned, how could this granddaughter come to see her, Chen's mother, who was serving Xie Shi next to her, reacted quickly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xia Mengning, "The third lady has just recovered from a serious illness, how did she come out to blow the wind?" Xia Mengning stood there and only smiled slightly, her skin as white as cow's milk made people unable to take their eyes off, "Grandmother, Ning Er was sick in bed a few days ago, and she just woke up yesterday, thinking about her grandmother, so she came to visit her grandmother early in the morning." ”
Xie was extremely fond of a granddaughter, but she always didn't want to be close to herself, but the eldest sister Xi'er was used to coaxing people, and she lost her heart when she went back and forth.
"Come on, come and sit down, let Grandmother see if your injuries are healed?" Xie beckoned to Xia Mengning, Xia Mengning meekly stepped forward and sat beside Xie, tilting her head to the side delicately, "Grandmother, don't look at it, Ning Er looked in the mirror yesterday, it was very scary, but fortunately it was on the head, and it was okay to put her hair in a bun." Saying that, Xia Mengning seemed to be a little lost, lowered her head slightly, and teardrops instantly hung on her eyelashes, which made Xie feel distressed for a while. This granddaughter's grandmother is the handkerchief of her when she was young, and the two have a good relationship, so they naturally like this granddaughter very much, but it's a pity that people like the fourth aunt are from a lower background, and they marry into the house to be a concubine, which affects this child.
"Grandmother, Ning'er is fine, I drank the medicine prescribed by my mother's doctor yesterday, and my head doesn't hurt anymore." With an innocent expression, Xie Shi trembled in his heart, and said to Chen's mother on the side, "Go and get my blood swallow." He turned his head to Xia Mengning and said, "This blood swallow is the best for the body, you drink it and your grandmother will send someone to send it to you, don't break it every day, this injury will heal faster." ”
Xia Mengning could see that Xie's eyes were the same care as the fourth aunt, and she felt guilty for a while, in her previous life, she always listened to Fang's words and didn't want to be closer to Xie, Fang's even encouraged herself not to be close to her father, it turned out to be like this, thinking of this, Xia Mengning buried her face in Xie's palm, cat-like coquettishness, "Grandmother is so good to Ning'er, Ning'er can't stand it," said, sat up and called "Zhulian!" ”
Zhulian walked over, Xia Mengning smiled and picked up the Buddhist scripture in her hand and handed it to Xie Shi, smiling skillfully, "Ning'er is sick in bed and life and death are uncertain, the fourth aunt copied the Buddhist scriptures every day and knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva to pray, the Bodhisattva was really moved by sincerity, Ning'er really woke up, the Bodhisattva was moved, thinking that this Buddhist scripture naturally has a different meaning, today Ning'er specially gave this hand-copied Buddhist scripture to her grandmother, hoping that the Bodhisattva will take care of her grandmother and protect her grandmother for a long life." ”
Xie has always liked to worship the Buddha and worship the Bodhisattva, and when he heard the words, he immediately took it over and looked through it carefully, but when he saw that the copying inside was neat and neat, and the hairpin flower was delicate and elegant, he was very satisfied, and nodded and let Chen's mother put it away.
"The fourth aunt was originally a lovely person, but she was wronged by being a concubine." Xie said, remembering that the Ge family was originally the daughter of the county prince, but her mother was not in good health, so she went early, and her father married another one, so she ended up wanting to be a concubine for her family.
Xia Mengning held Xie's hand, "Grandmother doesn't have to sigh, my aunt always says that she is blessed, and she marries into this prime minister's mansion with the blessing of your grandmother, and prays for you and your father in front of the Buddha every day." ”
Although the Xie family loves the Ge family, he also feels sorry for his son in his heart, and now when he hears Xia Mengning say this, he also feels relieved.
"Grandmother?" A brisk voice came, the fragrant breeze was blowing, and the first to bear the brunt was his eldest sister, Xia Mengxi.
Xia Mengning clenched the hand under her sleeve slightly, but her face was not shocked, she stood up and walked in front of Xia Mengxi and said, "Sister." "The way behind him is blessed," the daughter has seen her mother. ”
