Text Chapter 79: Count 6
Mother Wu asked Yuyan rhetorically: "Do you think that the third lady doesn't know that Mrs. Tai doesn't like Aunt Luo?" ”
"This ......" Swift was stunned, thought seriously for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "But, but why?" Since the third lady knew that her relationship with Aunt Luo's grandmother would make Mrs. Tai unhappy, why did she go to the Kindness Hall? ”
"That's the matter of the third lady," Mother Wu said lightly: "None of these are what you little maid should care about." ”
But......
Yuyan wanted to refute a few words, but she couldn't think of anything to refute for a while, so she had to puff out her mouth and silently poured a cup of tea for Wu's mother.
Mother Wu took the tea, sipped it lightly, thought about it, and asked for a moment, "You just said that Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang have been walking around a little diligently with the third lady recently, right?" ”
"Yes," Swift nodded, "Yesterday evening, Aunt Zhang's little peach was still in shape, but she talked to the third lady in the inner room for a while." ”
Mother Wu frowned.
"Godmother?" Seeing Wu's mother's face, Yuyan asked a little uneasily, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Maybe I'm thinking too much...... Mother Wu shook her head, the expression on her face was a little dazed, and she said in an ethereal tone: "Third Miss is the best, or don't contact Aunt Zhang......
"Then ......" Swift hurriedly replied, "I'll remind Miss ...... when I go back."
"Hey!" Mother Wu sighed, glanced at Yuyan, and said, "Forget it, it's useless to remind......"
……
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After a few more heavy knocks, Xia Lan listened to the door of the Kindness Hall again, and after a moment, she raised her head suspiciously, and said to herself, "Strange? How could there be no one? Someone, right? ”
Xia Lan knocked on the door of the Hall of Kindness again, and at the same time, shouted loudly, "Is there anyone?" Is anyone at home......" knocked a few times, Xia Lan listened to it again, and after a moment, her face was happy, and she turned back to Wei Man, who was standing under the tree not far away, and said, "Miss, someone is coming!" ”
Soon, "Who, who?" A timid voice came from inside the door.
"Hello sister, I'm Xia Lan who went back to the garden to serve the third lady," Xia Lan responded outside the door: "My third miss heard that Aunt Luo's grandmother was sick, so she came to see Aunt Luo's grandmother, and I bothered my sister to open the door." ”
I stopped for a while, but I didn't hear the door open.
Xia Lan looked at Wei Man for some reason.
"Miss?" The swift, who was standing beside Wei Man, said, "Let the slave go." ”
Swift and Weiman said that she and Gardenia were bought into the house together, in the first year or two, they lived in the same bed, and they followed their mother to learn the rules together during the day, although the circumstances of the two were very different after that, and the opportunity to meet became very rare, but the relationship between the two has always been very close.
Weiman nodded.
Swift hurriedly walked up the steps.
"Sister Gardenia? Is it Gardenia's sister? Swift knocked on the door twice and said loudly: "I am Sister Swift, I am tired of Sister Gardenia and Aunt Luo's grandmother, and the third lady who returned to the garden came to visit." ”
"Yes, it's Sister Swift!" There was an unconcealed joy in the voice inside the door, and then the sound of the deadbolt was heard.
"Squeak~", the door of the Kindness Hall was opened, and a cowardly and weak maid who was fourteen or fifteen years old with obvious bruises on her forehead showed a head.
Wei Man's eyes narrowed, and she thought of what Aunt Zhang had said: Aunt Luo didn't listen to any persuasion, the gardenia next to her, in order to beg her to take care of her body, her forehead was about to bleed, but Aunt Luo was determined to pray for the third lady, saying that she was entrusted by Mrs......
"Sister Gardenia!" Swift was happy at first, and after seeing the wound on Gardenia's forehead, her face stiffened, and she couldn't help but say in a daze: "You ......"
"Sister Swift!" Gardenia took Swift's hand with a handful, her eyes were full of joy, and soon, she found Weiman not far away, hurriedly let go of Swift's hand, and walked quickly in front of Weiman.
"Third Miss!" Gardenia's expression was shocked and a little overwhelmed, and after saluting, he went to open the door of the Kindness Hall in a panic, and led Wei Man with a smile: "Third Miss, please." ”
Wei Man walked up some dilapidated steps, and slowly walked into the Hall of Kindness, which everyone in the house avoided.
It is very simple and simple to enter the small yard, a bluestone road in the middle divides the yard into two, there are three or four kinds of vegetables on both sides, it may be in the cold time, the growth of vegetables is very decaying, but two hens who are turning over and over in the soil to forage for food have brought some life to the yard.
Wei Man looked around, she was very surprised, if she didn't know very well that this was the backyard of the Zhenguo Mansion, when she suddenly saw it, she was afraid that she would feel that she had strayed into an ordinary countryman's house.
"Three, three, three, Miss Three......" A voice full of doubt and surprise suddenly sounded.
Wei Man looked at it, and saw Aunt Luo, who was full of sick faces and extremely haggard faces, leaning weakly on the door frame of the hall, looking at her with a confused and complicated gaze.
"Ah, Grandma, why are you up?" Gardenia said as she hurriedly stepped forward to help Aunt Luo.
"Third Miss ......" Aunt Luo leaned her whole body on Gardenia's body, and muttered in the direction of Wei Man: "I heard, Third Miss is coming......"
Wei Man hurriedly took a few steps forward, held Aunt Luo's cold hand, and responded with a smile: "Aunt Luo, it's me, I heard that you are sick, so I came to take a look." ”
"It's really Miss Three, it's really ......" Aunt Luo's eyes seemed to be closed, and she looked very unhealthy.
"It's me." Wei Man responded to Aunt Luo's words, and together with a few maids, she relocated Aunt Luo to the bed in the bedroom.
"Third Miss, Third Miss......" Lying on the bed, Aunt Luo seemed to sigh comfortably, she closed her eyes, held Wei Man's hand tightly, and repeated a few "Third Miss", as if she suddenly thought of something, she suddenly let go of Wei Man's hand, and while pushing out weakly, she frowned and muttered: "Third Miss can't come, Third Miss can't come, go quickly, Third Miss go quickly......"
Weiman's eyes flashed.
"Aunt Luo?" Wei Man leaned closer and called softly, "Can Aunt Luo hear me?" Aunt Luo's grandmother ......"
Aunt Luo's grandmother didn't respond to Wei Man's question, she seemed to be enchanted by a dream, and just repeated repeatedly: "Third Miss, let's go......"
Gardenia knelt at the head of Aunt Luo's bed, gently cheering for Aunt Luo, and while responding to Aunt Luo's words, she said, "Gone, already gone......"
Aunt Luo muttered a few more words, and finally fell asleep gradually under the repeated comfort of Gardenia.
Gardenia gently put Aunt Luo's exposed arm into the quilt.
"I'm sorry, Miss Three, my aunt and grandmother have always been like this these days, so ......" Gardenia's expression was very apologetic.
Aunt Luo's appearance must not be able to inquire about anything, Wei Man couldn't help but be a little disappointed in her heart, but she comforted herself that her trip to the Kindness Hall today was not to hear any news from Aunt Luo's mouth.
"Let's go out and talk," Wei Man stood up, glanced at the sleeping Aunt Luo again, and said softly, "Don't disturb Aunt Luo's rest." ”
Wei Man came out of the bedroom and sat down on the warm couch by the window in the inner room.
Gardenia respectfully offered Wei Man a cup of tea, and said a little embarrassed: "It's all coarse tea, I don't know if the third lady can drink it......"
Wei Man took the gardenia's tea, motioned for the gardenia to sit down on the small pestle in front of her, she first took a sip of the bitter tea without changing her face, and then asked with some concern: "Aunt Luo's grandmother is so sick, have you asked the doctor to take a look?" ”
"This ......" Gardenia had a difficult face, grabbed the corner of her clothes uneasily, and said, "The slave maid also mentioned it...... Aunt Zhang's grandmother once helped find a doctor to enter the house...... It's just that my aunt won't let ......"
In response to what Aunt Zhang's grandmother said, Aunt Luo's grandmother is sick, and she only wants to stand up and doesn't want to see a doctor.
It's just that Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang have helped Aunt Luo find a doctor!?
Weiman's heart moved,
"Did Aunt Zhang help find a doctor?" Wei Man asked, "Is the relationship between Aunt Zhang and Aunt Luo very good?" ”
"This ......" Gardenia thought for a while, and said with a tangled face: "The slave maid can't quite understand the relationship between the two aunts and grandmothers...... Aunt Zhang is very good to my aunt and grandmother, but the slave maid can see that my aunt and grandmother don't seem to want to have more contact with Aunt Zhang......"
Wei Man smiled and said encouragingly: "Oh, Aunt Luo doesn't want to associate with Aunt Zhang?" Where do you see that? ”
"This, this," Gardenia glanced at the swift and said a little shyly: "Although the slave is a little stupid, the slave can also see it, and the aunt and grandmother like the third lady very much...... Expressions can't fool people...... Every time Aunt Zhang came over, my aunt and grandmother kept silent......"
Wei Man couldn't help but think to himself.
Aunt Zhang was very enthusiastic about Aunt Luo, and even knew that Mrs. Tai didn't like Aunt Luo, so she helped the sick Aunt Luo to find a doctor...... However, Aunt Luo, who is in a weak position, does not want to have a deep friendship with the "powerful" Aunt Zhang, and she doesn't even want to talk about it......
Also, as Gardenia said, the expression can't deceive people, and Aunt Luo's expression just now shows that Aunt Luo really likes her very much......
In this way, Wei Man didn't care why Aunt Zhang always wanted her to have a relationship with Shanxintang, but she cared more about another thing, that is, Aunt Zhang blatantly asked for a doctor for Aunt Luo, why didn't Mrs. Tai alienate Aunt Zhang?
