Chapter 162: Enveloping
Although the Queen Mother did not summon Sizhen into the palace again, a few days later, she gave Sun Yanling a jade gege, saying that it was for an aunt to help the princess share her worries and wait for her forehead.
It is common for a noble family to send a beautiful girl or a mother-in-law to stuff someone in her son's room, such as Mingyue, which is beyond reproach as a trial marriage, but it is very rare to send an aunt to her mother's family like the Queen Mother.
When the Empress Dowager knew about this, she had already sent it out, and she could only say that the Empress Dowager was not sensible, but it was not good to save her face.
Sizhen took it with a smile, turned around and lifted the person who Sun Yanling's grandmother had rewarded, and let Aunt Yue, Aunt Yu, and Aunt Mei live next to each other, standing on three legs, but Sun Yanling didn't even go to their courtyard.
Compared with people with comparable statuses, these three of them fought like black corns, and for a while, they couldn't care about Sizhen's side.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Sizhen simply prepared the meals for the family banquet in the evening, took care of the cups, plates, tables and chairs, and arranged the seats to the three of them, and she was only responsible for the general scheduling...... Keep those three busy for a while.
Among them, Aunt Yue was rewarded by the Queen Mother, and Sizhen deliberately raised her, pointed to her as the head of three people, and only looked for her if there was anything, so angry that the maid she married complained to Luoyu: "The princess said a word, all of it has to be Aunt Zhang Luo, but she took all the benefits, Aunt You, you don't dare to come out of this little difference, say that the capable person works hard, according to the slave maid, Aunt Yu and Aunt Mei are really too treacherous!" β
Aunt Yue was silent for a while, straightened her sideburns and said, "That's it, as long as the forehead master is happy, it will not be in vain to be busy for this day." There are a lot of people tonight, you can cheer them up, but don't make any mistakes and make people see the joke! β
"Auntie, you are too good at talking, so you are always bullied to the head, speaking of which, you, the county lord, are still the niece of the princess, and I don't see her taking care of her more." Luo Yu reluctantly responded.
After hearing a lot of such words, Aunt Yue was also a little suspicious, Sizhen asked her to hit her head, did she value her or dig a pit for her? Did she get good or did she waste her efforts?
Not to mention, in the evening, Aunt Yue asked people to arrange delicacies and wine, and after being busy, I saw the old lady talking with the Lin family, the Zhao family of the big room, and the Li family of the third room, and the four Zhenhe and several girls in the big room and the third room eating wine and having fun, sitting in the atrium to admire the moon, everyone sang and laughed, and they were happy.
Seeing her coming, Sun Jinxin, the second girl in the third room, said unceremoniously: "Aunt Yue, the watermelon on the table is gone, and I haven't eaten two pieces, so please let someone cut another plate." β
Although the tone was respectful, the meaning of the words was as if she was a housekeeper.
When Aunt Yue endured the anger and came back to sit down, the table was already a mess of cups and plates, and Luoyu was about to ask someone to reprepare it for her, she waved her hand and said, "No need, I don't have much appetite, just eat some moon cakes and fruits." β
When Sizhen heard it, she said with a smile: "Aunt Yue has worked hard all day, don't be so wronged yourself, I look at those dishes are good...... Let the kitchen have some for my aunt, but don't go hungry. She confessed to the lark.
Aunt Yue was about to refuse, but after a glance, she responded with a smile: "There is Princess Lao, speaking of which, the princess is really compassionate!" β
Sizhen said casually: "A family, after a long time, I know each other's temperament, so I am naturally more affectionate than when I entered the house." The old lady said today, the family and everything is prosperous, and if you want everyone to be harmonious, you naturally have to start with me first. β
Friendly? Will the sun come out of the west? It's just a matter of taking what you need!
Aunt Yue sneered in her heart, but her face became more and more smiling, like ripples in the spring breeze: "The princess is right." β
Then she smiled at Aunt Yu, who had been standing quietly by the side and listening to them, and Aunt Mei said, "Did you hear what the princess said?" In our house, the first thing is harmony, the two of you have just entered the house, many rules are not clear, but the most important thing is to keep to yourself, everyone is harmonious and beautiful, so that the princess values us. β
Aunt Yu and Aunt Mei glanced at her and responded like mosquitoes.
Aunt Yue smiled with satisfaction when she saw that the two of them didn't sneer at her for the first time.
Saying this, it was as if Aunt Yue was the master of the princess's mansion, but Aunt Yu didn't say anything when they saw Sizhen, and they were in front of the old lady, so naturally they didn't want to say anything, but the five girls on the side were a little unaccustomed to it, and snorted lightly, she peeled the orange and handed it to Sizhen, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you eat this, it is a tangerine transported from Bashu, it is very sweet." β
"Well, this tangerine also has the effect of clearing the lungs and relieving cough, if you have a cold cough, roast this orange with a belt with a fire, and then eat the oranges inside, you can stop coughing......"
Sizhen listened and sat down.
The fifth girl likes pharmacology, and sometimes Sizhen is empty, she will say a thing or two to Sizhen.
Across the table, Aunt Yue could hear the excited voice of the five girls chirping like birds.
"Sister-in-law, don't underestimate this dietary therapy, five grains for nourishment, I didn't like to eat rice and noodles before, I always had no strength, and then I learned some pharmacology, forced myself to eat, and my body was really much better...... And the one with incense in it, and there is a vanilla in it......"
Speaking of the back, the sound is already low and inaudible.
Seeing the people at her table, she walked away one after another under pretexts, and Aunt Yue was a little uncomfortable.
In the past, they were all good, everyone liked to get along with her, since Sizhen almost had an accident in the palace a few days ago, these people suspected that she was communicating with the palace, and they were all eager to clear up, but Sizhen and Sun Yanling didn't ask her, she couldn't explain it even if she wanted to.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, Aunt Yue was extremely depressed.
Two days later, Aunt Yue arrived at the Begonia Courtyard, got into Sun Yanji's Aunt Hua's house and asked with a smile: "Aunt Hua, it looks like winter is coming, how are you doing with asthma?" β
The corners of Aunt Hua's eyes jumped, and she looked at her suspiciously and said, "What do you mean......"
Aunt Yue gently stroked her sideburns, and said gently: "It's winter, it's not easy for people with asthma, besides, Aunt Hua, you are pregnant with a child, and when the weather is cold, I don't know how uncomfortable......"
Hearing Aunt Yue's voice of pity, Aunt Hua was in turmoil, although she tried her best to endure it, her face still showed a little panic.
She had previously partnered with the Jin family to calculate Aunt Ding, and the matter was revealed, but because the two of them refused to admit it to death, and there was no evidence, and she was pregnant, she was only fined a few months of moon silver, but for this reason, she was disgusted by Sun Yanji, and the subordinates all acted according to the eyes of the master, praising the high and the low, if it wasn't for the Jin family secretly helping her, her life would be even more difficult during this time.
Aunt Yue seemed to have a relative, looked at her sympathetically, frowned, and her voice was a little more real: "The princess can invite the imperial doctor, you should actually go to her and ask for it, so as to ensure that you can rejuvenate your hand." When it rained, I turned around and opened the warehouse for me to look for carefully, I remember that there was a thirty-year-old mountain ginseng, and I brought it to Aunt Hua to help her replenish her qi, and I hope that I will get better after this winter......"
Aunt Hua thought of her difficulty in breathing every time she had asthma, coupled with the cold treatment she had received during this time, and when she heard Aunt Yue's concern, her eyes couldn't help but be warm, and her face showed a little touch: "Lord Mingyue, you are really a good person, I also heard that the princess was able to invite the imperial doctor, and I went to ask her, but she said that I was just an aunt, and it was not proper to ask the imperial doctor......
Luo Yu on the side pouted and said, "Isn't my aunt human?" In the past, when the grandfather of the country was in the capital, the aunt of the house was sick, and he didn't invite the imperial doctor to see it. The slave maid heard that the old lady was also suffering from asthma, so the princess took matters into her own hands, and the imperial doctor came to recuperate every three days, and after these two months, she saw that she was getting better, but I was afraid that she felt that it was no good to help you, so she was too lazy to bother with that......
"Nonsense!" Aunt Yue scolded: "How can the princess be such a person who can't be saved when she sees death? Don't speculate and ruin the princess's reputation. β
"Auntieβ" Luoyu wanted to say something aggrieved.
"Alright. Don't make a fuss about nothing and chew on those useless tongues. Aunt Yue stopped her.
Then, she said apologetically to Aunt Hua: "The princess is really powerless, after all, she is out of the palace, and it is not good to always call the imperial doctor to come out to see a doctor." Don't be sad, in addition to that old ginseng, I also have some fresh ginseng fruit here, which is the most useful for dissolving phlegm and relieving cough...... I'll send it to you to try it later, and then I'll ask the doctor outside to see it, no matter how much silver it costs, and tell me ......."
Aunt Hua wiped her tears, and showed a smile with red eyes: "Thank you county lord for worrying so much about my body, I still have the silver for the time being, if you need it, you must talk to the county lord." As for the princess, I understand my identity, and I can't complain that she doesn't help! β
Having said that, there was a faint hatred in her voice.
People's hearts are like this, when they hear that there is a little hope, they will desperately want to hold it, since she heard that the old lady's asthma has improved under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor, she is full of hope to intercede, who knows that the princess used that thing to threaten her......
Sizhen, who announced the news, was as unpleasant as the plague god in Aunt Hua's heart, and now listening to the words of Luoyu and Aunt Yue, it seems that because she is an aunt, Sizhen is unwilling to help, and Aunt Hua's dislike in her heart has become hatred!
These days, she is like a ball that has been punctured by a needle, and all hope is shattered, leaving only a shriveled shell and no energy.
Seeing the sympathetic eyes of Luo Yu again, Aunt Yue's words of relief made her feel even more hateful.
Aunt Yue turned a deaf ear to her hateful words, didn't look at her, and directly ordered Luoyu: "You go to the old lady to have a look, and find someone around her to write a copy of the old lady's prescription...... Stuff some silver, and say I want it......"
It's a way to help yourself find a prescription.
Aunt Hua looked at Aunt Yue gratefully.
