Text Chapter 84: Shocking News 3
Wei Man clasped Xia Lan's hand and pleaded softly, "Xia Lan, I want to know how you first met me, can you tell me about it?" ”
"Miss, you, but ......" Xia Lan's face was very hesitant, and she said uneasily: "Mother Cheng instructed the slave maid not to mention the matter at that time to Miss......
"Xia Lan, Mother Cheng is worried that I will think too much about my illness, and now, my body has been greatly improved...... Wei Man smiled: "Mother Cheng told me, saying that you are my life-saving benefactor, you can talk to me, I want to know, how did you save me." ”
"Slave maid, slave maid didn't do anything at all, I didn't dare to be Miss's life-saving benefactor......" Xia Lan waved her hand a little panicked, and saw the persistence in Wei Man's eyes, paused, she was finally defeated, and recalled: "The slave and maid remembered that it was raining heavily that day, and it was very late, but my uncle suddenly found that a basket of vegetables was missing from the dishes sent to Puning Temple, so I asked the slave and maid to send them to Puning Temple quickly...... In the distance, the slave maid saw the young lady lying motionless on the side of the road, and in the ravine on the side, there was a loose carriage, and she vaguely saw the coachman with a bloody face...... The slave maid was really scared, so she didn't dare to take a closer look, so she went to the masters of Puning Temple......"
As Xia Lan narrated, Wei Man's eyes seemed to be in front of the scene, the carriage was speeding in the rain, and Wei Man, who was sitting inside, repeatedly asked the coachman to be faster...... The carriage finally fell into the ravine, and perhaps because of the protection of the two faithful maids, Weiman did not die, after which she crawled to the side of the road with all her strength, and finally fainted......
It's just that in time......
"You just said that it was very late when you delivered food to Puning Temple," Wei Man asked, "How late is it?" Do you remember the approximate hour when you saw me? ”
"When you saw Miss?" Xia Lan thought about it, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "It's the time!" At that time, the slave and maid heard the bell ringing in the distance, and it was right at that time. ”
"When?" Wei Man said in surprise.
According to Mrs. Tai, "she" should have left Puning Temple when it was almost midnight, but Xia Lan only found her at the end of the day, so did she actually fall into a coma in the rain for about two hours?
Wei Man couldn't help but shudder, thinking to herself, no wonder she felt cold to the bone when she first crossed over......
"When the two masters of Puning Temple followed the slave maid to find the young lady, except for the young lady, there was still some breath, and the other ......" Xia Lan paused, seeing that Wei Man's face also showed a sad color, knowing that Wei Man was feeling sorry for the person who died on the spot, he hurriedly skipped it and continued: "The young lady's breath was very weak at that time, and the two masters didn't know what to do for a while...... I was in a hurry, so I saw Master Hui Zhen rush over with several masters, and after checking the young lady's injury, Master Hui Zhen immediately asked several masters to lift the young lady up, carefully protected all the way, and rushed to the Sogo Temple overnight......"
"Sogo?" Wei Man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you go to the nearest Puning Temple, but go to the Sogo Temple?" ”
"At the beginning, the slave maid was also very confused," Xia Lan explained: "The slave maid only found out later, it turned out that Master Huizhen saw that Miss's injury was too serious, and she was afraid that Miss would have a case, so she thought of Imperial Doctor Ge, who was temporarily living in Sogo Temple, so she sent Miss to Sogo Temple...... In fact, the slave maid felt that Mrs. Huizhen was the life-saving benefactor of Miss, and Doctor Ge said that if Miss's condition was delayed for a moment, even if the Da Luo Immortal came, she would not be able to save Miss. ”
"Imperial Physician Ge," Wei Man asked, remembering the energetic old man, "Is it Imperial Physician Ge who once lived in the mansion to treat me?" ”
Thinking of the old man with a kind smile, Wei Man couldn't help but feel a little bitter in her mouth, because, in her memory, the most common thing was that every time she opened her eyes, she saw Imperial Doctor Ge looking at her with a loving face, and gently said a few words that her condition had improved, don't be afraid or anything, and then handed over a bowl of pungent bitter Chinese medicine......
"Yes, the young lady still remembers Imperial Doctor Ge, and the slave also remembers his old man...... Once, Imperial Physician Ge saw that the slave maid had a bamboo strip cut out of the hand, and rewarded the slave and maid with a bottle of medicinal powder, but it worked...... Xia Lan said some interesting things about Imperial Doctor Ge, and said: "It's also a coincidence, on the day of the accident, Imperial Doctor Ge was playing chess with Master Minglan in Sogo Temple...... The slave maid heard that Imperial Physician Ge had also served as the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Hospital before, and he was very skilled in medical skills......"
"So, I stayed in the Sogo Temple for four days before I returned home." Weiman Road.
"Yes," Xia Lan nodded, "because the city gate was not open at that time...... Sogo Temple set up a separate courtyard for the young lady, and Master Huizhen said that the slave maid and the young lady were destined, so she asked the slave and the other two Puning Temple masters to take care of the young lady together......"
Weiman pondered, everything seemed to make sense, but why did Weiman return to Beijing at that sensitive time in the past?
If, as Mrs. Tai said, Wei Man was a dragon and phoenix climber in the past, then, in order to seek the most honorable status, will she be involved in the heir......
……
The second room, in the Wenxiu Courtyard.
The second lady Cao had just finished handling the housework and sent away a group of housekeepers and mothers with their own thoughts, she was a little tired and leaned on the Taishi chair, gently rubbing her eyebrows.
The big girl Yunshi hurriedly served a cup of tea.
Cao Shi took the tea, took two sips, and couldn't help but show a little comfort on his face, and asked Yun Shi, who was pinching her shoulder, and said, "Hasn't the eldest lady returned from Xiyuan yet?" ”
"Not yet." Saying that, Yun Shi glanced at the sky, and thought that Wei Ya didn't like to stay in the Xi Garden for a long time, so he smiled again: "Slave and maid, look, the eldest lady should be back soon." ”
Cao Shi let out a faint "um", and then ordered a maid next to him to go to the kitchen to check how the dishes ordered by Wei Ya were doing, and then he relaxed his body, and Ren Yunshi kneaded for a while.
Yun Shi gave a look to the other maids standing in the room.
The maids retreated.
"Can you inquire clearly?" Cao Shi still closed his eyes and asked, "Is the third lady really sick?" ”
"I should be really sick," Yun Shi replied: "The little maid below replied that the smell of medicine has indeed floated in the garden in the past few days, and she has also seen the maid boiling medicine and pouring medicine residue, but she has not seen the face of the third lady, and the slave guesses that the third miss has been lying in bed to recuperate......
"Humph! The doctor is not invited, what kind of serious illness can it be! Cao Shi frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and said unhappily: "I don't believe it, I was fine the day before, and I still had the courage to go to the Hall of Kindness to hang out, and the next day I was sick and bedridden, this is the fourth day!" ”
Saying this, Cao's heart was thinking of Aunt Zhang, who had been in Mrs. Tai's small Buddha hall for the same four days.
Aunt Zhang's grandmother is not Cao's serious mother-in-law, over the years, Aunt Zhang's grandmother has done a few things that make Cao's very aggrieved and hateful, but on the surface, Cao's treatment of Aunt Zhang's grandmother has always been cordial with just the right amount of respect.
It is true that Cao's treatment of Aunt Zhang's grandmother is like this, which has something to do with her husband's second grandfather Weijie's respect for her biological mother, but in Cao's heart, she is also a little afraid of Aunt Zhang's grandmother.
Cao Shi thought that Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang had suddenly walked around the garden with Manhui a lot recently, and they paid special attention to Shanxintang, and then, Wei Man was sick and couldn't go back to the garden, and Mrs. Tai suddenly asked Aunt Zhang to go to Xiyuan to copy some scriptures......
The more she thought about it, the more chaotic Cao's heart became, and her face couldn't help but be cloudy, she always felt that something big was happening, and it was something about her, but she didn't know anything about it.
"Madam, this ......" Yun Shi glanced at Cao's family, and said with some confusion on his face: "There is a rumor in the house now, I don't know if Madame has heard of ......it."
"Rumors?" Cao Shi came back to his senses, glanced at Yun Shi, and said a little impatiently: "What kind of rumors?" ”
"This ......" Yun Shi lowered his voice and said, "It is rumored in the house that the reason why the third miss is sick is because the third miss went to the Good Heart Hall, and she was given to it by Aunt Luo...... This, Aunt Luo's life is in conflict with Mrs. Tai's heirs......"
Cao's eyebrows were raised, and he thought silently for a moment before asking, "What is the reaction from Xiyuan?" ”
"Xi Yuan? Nope. Yun Shi shook his head and said uncertainly: "These are all rumors from the low-level little maids, and they are also things in the last day or two, presumably, they haven't reached the ears of Xiyuan's mothers......"
"Humph!" Cao snorted coldly and said, "Although I am in charge of this house, but if there is any wind and grass that can hide from Mrs. Tai, those shrewd mothers in Xiyuan all their lives......"
"Madame mean ......," Yun Shi asked suspiciously.
"Wait a minute, you should treat this matter as if you don't know about it first," Cao Shi waved his hand and whispered with some disdain: "I don't know whose handiwork...... What kind of eminent monk's annotation, who knows if it's true or not......"
"Eldest Miss, Second Miss......"
Outside the house, there was the sound of a maid saying goodbye.
"Yes, ma'am, it's our eldest lady who has returned." Yun Shi smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to open the curtain.
Before Yun Shi could make a move, the curtain in the inner room had been raised.
"Mother, I'm hungry!" Wei Ya rushed in a little unhappily, and almost collided with Yun Shi, who was standing by the door, but fortunately Yun Shi dodged very quickly.
Seeing Wei Ya's rampaging appearance, Cao Shi couldn't help frowning slightly.
Wei Ya casually saluted Cao's, sat down next to Cao's in a few steps, pulled Cao's sleeve, and said a little coquettishly: "Mother, when will you set the meal?" ”
"This character ......" Cao Shi glared at Wei Ya, and wanted to reprimand a few words, but saw Wei Ya holding her arm, looking at her with a smile, and in an instant, his tone softened, and he nodded at Wei Ya's forehead and said, "When can you change it!" ”
Wei Ya pouted, looking like she didn't care.
"Mother." Wei Xian stood down and saluted respectfully.
Cao raised his eyes, looked at Wei Xian, and responded: "Xian'er." ”
Looking at each other, Wei Xian gently bowed her head.
A satisfied smile immediately appeared on Cao's face.
