Chapter 2 Memories of Childhood, Passing Away and Unbearable (2)
"Miss, the slaves have changed their shoes."
"Let's go."
Caixiu held up the umbrella, and Caizhu held Yujun's shoulder, and brushed off a few snowflakes on Yujun's hat.
"You guys go faster, I'm going to see Aunt Xiao quickly." Yu Jun said as she walked out of the Moon Cave Gate.
Caizhu Caixiu hurriedly followed, and hurriedly called: "Miss, walk slowly, beware of your feet slipping, Miss." ”
The painted scenery water pavilion is similar to the Touyun Pavilion.
There is a path that bypasses the Painted Water Pavilion and can lead directly to the Tsukumo Pavilion.
The Painted Water Pavilion is the most suitable place to enjoy the snow scenery in the whole Wenfu.
There is a big pond under the painted scenery water pavilion, the lotus flowers bloom in the pond in summer, the green leaves and red lotus, dance with the wind, and then enjoy the watermelon while enjoying the lotus on the water pavilion, the pond freezes in winter, and the snow becomes plain white, and it is also quite a lonely high scene.
Since marrying into the Wenfu, Xu Huimin, the wife of the head of the Wen Mansion, has always liked this painted scenery water pavilion, especially in winter, and she has to bring her servants to this painted scenery water pavilion to see the snow scene.
Let's say that Xu Huimin took a few personal servants to climb the painted scenery water pavilion, and looked into the distance, only to see the entire Wenfu large and small buildings in the eyes.
The green tiles, red tiles, and green tiles are all covered with a layer of snow, and the walls are covered with a layer of white, showing the smoothness and cleanliness of the water.
Even among the green pines, there is heavy white snow and fluffy snow.
Between the white, there is a faint dark green appearance, which is even more colorful, and the scenery is excellent.
A large blue oil-paper umbrella moved slowly in the white snow, and a little girl dressed in white and two maids in red were faintly visible under the umbrella.
Xu Huimin looked around, thinking that this place was not far from Mingxin Xiaozhu, so she said to Baoxin: "It's Yujun walking there." I see that this is the Touyun Pavilion in front of me, and Yujun, this child is really filial, so I rushed to visit Aunt Xiao on such a snowy day. ”
said, and sighed again: "Aunt Xiao is really blessed." Back then, the head of Chaoyun Daoguan was involved in disputes between the government and the opposition, and the female Taoist priests of the entire Chaoyun Taoist Temple were dismissed, and there was nowhere to stay, but Xiao Nudao was still insisted on marrying by the master. In less than a year, she became pregnant with a child and gave birth to Yujun, Yuxue's lovely child. ”
When Bao Xin heard this, she lowered her eyebrows and chuckled: "Aunt Xiao can enter the door because Mrs. can tolerate her, if Mrs. is also jealous like others, how can she accommodate herself in the house!" It's Madame magnanimity. ”
Xu Shi laughed at himself when he heard this: "I am not generous enough to tolerate those warblers and swallows. It's just that I see that Aunt Xiao is docile and doesn't fight or grab in the house, although she is favored by the master, she will not be arrogant, let alone spoiled, so I can tolerate her. Otherwise, if she likes to be jealous like Aunt Ruan and Aunt Liu, don't say that if she is tolerated, she will not be allowed to give birth to a child. ”
As he spoke, he said to Bao Xin: "I look at the sky, I'm afraid that the snow will be bigger later, so you can send someone to Touyun Pavilion to send another umbrella." In addition, inform the big kitchen that mutton and cabbage and boiling rice wine will be sent to each yard, and dinner will be sent half an hour in advance today. ”
Bao Xin nodded and sighed yes.
"Oh, I almost forgot, there is a small kitchen in Mrs. Tai's yard, and I make it for Mrs. Tai alone every day, but on this cold day, we as daughters-in-law must also do our best, so that we can make a bowl of hot ginger and jujube brown sugar soup and longan wolfberry yam soup in our yard and send it over. Just say that it is the daughter-in-law's intention, regardless of whether the wife drinks it or not. ”
"Yes." Bao Xin agreed.
"By the way, madam, speaking of the big kitchen," Bao Xin said, "Now there are separate kitchens in our yard and in the yard of the old lady and Aunt Xiao. Only Ruan Liu's two aunts have no small kitchen in the courtyard, and the two of them are unhappy. ”
Xu frowned: "I'm here to enjoy the snow, the matter of the two of them, let's go back to Bitao Courtyard and talk about it." The food and drink in the big kitchen is not bad compared to the small kitchen, but you can't order as you like. The people who are concubines don't have this awareness, and they think about comparison all day long, so don't give them the mutton soup they are rewarded for. ”
Bao Xin smiled and agreed, and then peeled a roasted lamb meat for Xu Shi with a jade chopstick, and put it in her mouth.
Xu's enjoy the snow while eating.
In the Touyun Pavilion, a piece of medicinal incense. Aunt Xiao was lying on the ruan couch behind the screen of the muddy and gold painted double sparrows, and outside the screen were two girls serving tea and two girls waiting for changing clothes and grooming, both waiting at the moment.
Next to the room where Aunt Xiao was lying was a small ear room for cooking medicine, and at this moment the wind and snow were heavy, and the mother-in-law was afraid that the aunt would feel cold, so they got a stove to cook ginger soup.
Because the doctor said that Aunt Xiao's illness was not only a deficiency of cold that fell from fright in previous years, but also a lack of care when she gave birth to a daughter later, and she fell into a little yin deficiency.
The doctor told him to keep warm and not to be cold, so the doors and windows inside and outside the Touyun Pavilion were closed tightly, except for the old lady and the lady who sent people, the rest of the people who came refused.
At this moment, I heard the sound of the door slamming outside, and the mother-in-law guarding the door hurriedly asked, "Who is here?" is so short-sighted, don't you know that Aunt Xiao is recuperating here? ”
The Touyun Pavilion is dedicated to the patients of the Wenfu to recuperate, although it is to recuperate, but in fact, how is it not in their own yard to recuperate, only those who are sick and dying will move to the Touyun Pavilion.
Aunt Xiao became ill more than a month ago, and the doctor had already recognized that it was difficult to treat the medicine stone, and she was moved into the Touyun Pavilion early. Although she was too sick to die, Master Wen loved her deeply, so he had to ask Mrs. to ask the imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and treat her, and the imperial doctor also tried his best to treat her for the sake of his wife's face, in order to have a chance of life.
Afraid that Aunt Xiao would not be able to recover well, and even more afraid that Aunt Ruan and Aunt Liu would come to harass her, the master specially ordered that no one should be let in at will.
If you still let Aunt Ruan come in and sprinkle like last time, and say some ugly things to Aunt Xiao through the window, which makes Aunt Xiao vomit so angrily that she provokes her mother-in-law to be fined ten boards, it is not comfortable.
That's why the gatekeeper asked angrily.
When Yujun heard this, she was not annoyed, and when she heard her mother-in-law ask angrily, she calmed down, thinking that this mother-in-law was very good at guarding the door, so she said in a good voice through the door: "It's me, Miss Yujun, I'm here to see Aunt Xiao." ”
As he spoke, he said proudly, "I came on my father's orders." ”
When the gatekeeper heard the tone of Miss Yujun, she knew that this young lady was lying, and the old lady and the lady were afraid that the young lady would be too sick for the young lady, so how could the young lady be allowed to come.
Yujun heard that there was no movement inside, so she slapped the door with her hand and said loudly: "Open the door quickly, let me go in to see my aunt." ”
The mother-in-law thought about it for a while, thinking that the old lady had not said that the young lady was not allowed to come to the Touyun Pavilion, and she heard the young lady outside the door urging her in a hurry, so she opened the door.
