Chapter 98: Xinghuatang's Medicine
On this day and night, it was the first time that Fuyi had dinner in Xiyuan, and the third master did not come back from the entertainment, it was her and Yunzhi, as well as the Pingli brothers and sisters, who accompanied the third lady.
There is a lot of contact these days, and Fuyi and Pingli are also familiar with each other, plus the fourth son has a free and cheerful temperament, although Yunzhi has some restraint in the third room, but in the end, his own family, the sisters and brothers of the same year let go as they talked, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a meal.
After leaving the third lady and leaving the West Garden, the night breeze was slow, with the warmth of early summer, the beautiful girl's skirt fluttered, walking in the night, like a fairy in the Moon Palace.
Yun Zhi's order followed the subordinates farther away, only letting Scarlet Tong and Citron lead the way in front of the lamp, and said: "Look at the liveliness of Fangcai, it seems that we are so close every day, the third aunt has forgotten the matter of bringing people to Qingqiu Pavilion to make trouble, although she is such a person, it doesn't seem to be much malice, but I just don't like it." ”
Fuyi Road; "I don't like it very much, I have to accommodate her, she laughs when she's happy, she laughs with her when she's unhappy, why. But that's her temperament, we like it or not, it doesn't matter, just respect each other. ”
"You, obviously full of disgust, but still polite, she should think you like her, what's the point?" Yunzhi said, "Fuyi, don't think I'm not good at speaking, if it weren't for you, if someone else was as sleek and sophisticated as you, I really didn't like it, and I even hated it." You said that you always force yourself to say things against your will, whether you are tired or not, why should you be thoughtful in front of everyone, isn't this the same as the little girl of the Min family? ”
Fu Yi lowered his eyes and said: "For more than ten years, I have to be on guard against my grandmother at home, I didn't understand it when I was a child, I couldn't see my mother being wronged, I would only collide with my grandmother, and as a result, our mother and daughter were punished together, and the punishment was even more severe." My mother and I are not honest, but I can't help the years of tossing, so I want to start coaxing my grandmother to be happy, even if in her eyes she is like a pug wagging her tail and begging for mercy, as long as my mother does not suffer, I am satisfied. ”
"I'm sorry ......"
"You're right, not only do you not like it, but I don't like it myself." Fu Yi said, "But as if I'm used to it, I don't want to compete with others for a while, and I always think that right and wrong are so important?" But it looks chic and doesn't care, but in fact, he is still cowardly and afraid of things in his bones. ”
"So you know it yourself?" Yunzhi said, "I feel that you are very aggrieved, like me, although I am looking for scolding and beating, but I have said it anyway, others have embarrassed me, at least I haven't embarrassed myself." ”
Fu Yi asked: "Then these days, coaxing the second aunt to be happy, there are fewer quarrels and contradictions, what do you think?" ”
Yun Zhi hurriedly said: "After all, it's my mother, it's different, not to mention that in front of them, I don't have anything more aggrieved than entering the palace to do something small, and I don't care." ”
Fu Yi said: "You are the heart and soul baby raised by the old lady, even if there are grievances, the old grandmother is your confidence, and the brothers and sisters are protecting you, I am far inferior to you." But one day, when I have the confidence and become brave and fearless, I can probably change this habit, don't always open my mouth to play a round, don't always think about calming things down. ”
Yun Zhixiao asked: "Then where does your confidence come from?" ”
Fu Yi thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, you see, I'm talking empty again." ”
Yun Zhi said kindly: "Then let grandma also be your confidence, and me, and ...... And my brother, my third brother is good, he is kind and righteous. ”
Fu Yi relied on the darkness of the night, relying on the lantern leading the way to be orange, not afraid of Yunzhi to see that her face was red, and with the help of the aunt and grandmother, Yunzhi and sisters in this sentence, Zhu Rong was generously counted, and responded happily: "Then I'm welcome." ”
Yunzhi was very happy, and repeated what she always said: "Fuyi, how nice it would be if you could stay in my house forever......"
The two separated in front of the Qingqiu Pavilion, and only turned back after seeing Yunzhi go away.
Cuizhu was scared half to death by the third lady that time, and she didn't deal with Xiyuan again, so she didn't follow tonight.
At this moment, he prepared hot water, waited for Fuyi to wash, and said: "The eldest lady sent someone to say that she just grabbed medicine for the old lady of her mother's family, and also grabbed a pair of tonic medicine for you, and then Xinghuatang boiled the medicine every day and will send it to you to take." ”
"I'm young, what do I do with tonics?" Fu Yi said, "Wait until I go to thank the eldest lady tomorrow and resign." ”
After Cuizhu retreated, Citron asked the young lady worriedly, "The eldest lady is not going to poison us, is she?" ”
Fu Yi smiled: "Then it's better to put it in the meal, and the gods don't know it, and make some tonic medicine in everyone, for fear that people won't know that she is going to poison?" Besides, what did I do, if she wants her to kill me, it's not so easy to kill someone. ”
Citron was timid and said uneasily: "But I heard Cuizhu and the others say behind their backs that the fifth prince was fed medicine and became sick, and in the future, slowly, little by little, he will leave one day, and he will be sick and weak every day." ”
Fu Yi sighed: "Not to mention the medicine or not, if the eldest lady doesn't have some ability, how to subdue the descendants of this family, none of them is easy to deal with." I remember that day my aunt and grandmother said that there are many people, and it is inevitable that they will not be in agreement, you see that they are all the people of the eldest lady, but they do not look at the eldest lady, and they also instigate trouble. ”
Citron said: "Although Miss is not a big family, she is also a Miss, my mother and I are serving you, you don't understand our hearts." ”
Fu Yi smiled and asked, "What heart?" ”
Citron said: "Although I am not willing to be a slave, this life is like this, who doesn't want to be a good master." But the eldest lady, she really treats the slave as a slave, and the second lady is different, even the third lady knows to be good to the people around her and fight for them. How can anyone be like the eldest lady, always on top, beating and scolding and punishing at every turn, who wants to treat her sincerely? They can't complain that Cuizhu is unfaithful. ”
Listening, there is indeed some truth, the eldest lady has always been fierce to deter the people in this family, with strict rules and regulations to restrain everyone, the tighter she tightens, the more painful the person who is bound, every day is painful.
But my aunt and grandmother often talked about it, saying that the eldest lady had her difficulties, and wanted to support the huge family house, take care of countless trivial matters, and manage every subordinate, the hard work paid by the eldest lady is difficult to calculate, and what she got was always everyone's dissatisfaction with her.
"Let's not talk about it, can't the emperor make us duchesses?" Fu Yi smiled, "Go wash up, don't be unable to get up tomorrow morning, Pingjue is coming early in the morning." ”
Citron smiled and said: "The little boy is too studious, the children in this family are all born by the gods." ”
However, the next day, after Pingjue's class was over, Fuyi sent him out as usual, and happened to meet Xinghuatang to send tonics.
Mother Wang came in person, saying that it was the eldest lady's order, and she had to watch Fuyi drink it before she could feel at ease. Otherwise, teaching so many children to read every day, and now there are more Pingjue, it is too hard, and I am afraid that my body will not be able to support it.
Looking at the bowl of black decoction, Fuyi was convinced that it was impossible for the eldest lady to poison it, but at this moment, she was full of disgust and resistance, which made her realize that the eldest lady did not put the poison in the decoction, but in her heart.
Day after day, I was forced to drink it every day, even if the decoction was a great supplement, it couldn't withstand the collapse of Fuyi's heart.
Seeing the little maid sending the medicine bowl to her, Fu Yi didn't think about how to refuse, but saw Ping Jue rushing over, snatching the medicine bowl and slamming it on the ground, the porcelain bowl was sparsely broken, and the soup was splashed, which frightened everyone to scream.
Mother Wang scolded sharply: "Little boy, what are you doing here?" ”
Ping Jue said angrily: "Who are you talking to, shouting so loudly, is there a master in your eyes?" ”
Mother Wang's face changed greatly, and she couldn't believe that this was the little boy talking to her.
In front of everyone, Ping Jue said to Fu Yi: "Sister Yan, don't drink medicine, if you take medicine, you will be like me, you are sick every day, and you can't live or die." ”
Everyone looked at the little boy in amazement, just ate a few days of normal meals, just came out to read a few words, just under the sun to tan his white face a little bloody, the child was reborn and completely changed.
But this kind of temperament is not unfamiliar to everyone, didn't the sons in this family all grow up like this? Except for the fifth son, the four above, even if it is only the third son of the adopted son, which one of the subordinates dares to speak loudly to them.
Wang's mother's decades-old face was shattered at this moment along with the medicine bowl, and she was scolded by the weakest child in the family, so angry that she vomited blood.
She couldn't bear it, so she ordered the mother-in-law who was with the little boy to send the master back quickly, and said to the help: "Girl, wait a minute, wait for me to boil a new one." ”
Fu Yi didn't say anything, seeing that Ping Jue was surrounded and left, he was worried that things would get worse in the future, would the eldest lady be angry with Aunt Liu because of this, and beat her half to death?
Fuyi really can't understand the eldest lady more and more, doesn't the eldest lady really understand, water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, one day everyone in this family abandons her, what is she going to do?
