Chapter 29: Menarche
The autumn night was long, and there was abdominal pain and coldness, and by the end of the day, Wanying and Hongfu had not yet closed their eyes. They are all twenty-eight years old, and they don't know that this is the first arrival of Kwai Shui.
Sending off Master Shi, Aunt Lin went to the attic. Vaguely borrowed the lantern under the porch and walked to Wanying's bedside. Hongfu had already gotten up and dressed.
"Auntie, got up so early?"
"I heard you moving at night, come up and take a look."
"Mother, Daddy has already gone?"
"Well, it's gone. Last night, I heard you have two meetings, isn't it uncomfortable? ”
"Auntie, Miss has been suffering from cold abdominal pain last night, Hongfu got up and poured a cup of hot tea for Miss. It's just that it hasn't eased yet. ”
Wanying's little face was cold and pale, and she had the meaning of not being weathered. Aunt Lin only listened to Hongfu's story, and before she had time to check, she already understood in her heart what was the so-called abdominal pain this time.
In the past two years, Aunt Lin has also been careful from time to time, and she has been remembering, Wan Rong and Wan Yun have already arrived in the sunflower water, only Wan Ying, who has already reached the age of Xuan, and still has no news, thinking that she has not arrived for a long time, and has also asked the gentleman of Qianjinfang in private, Mr. only said: "The blood and qi are different, morning and evening are also different, about and Lu, but early arrival, late, and not for the patient, no need to seek medical advice, just wait patiently."
"Go for a cotton tunic. Draw a basin of warm footwater. Aunt Lin was happy in her heart, the things she had been worried about for the past two years had finally arrived.
Hongfu listened to Aunt Lin's attachment, and hurriedly went downstairs to do it one by one. While talking, Yun Niang also went upstairs, knowing that it was Wanying's good day, and she was very happy. hurriedly served Wanying one by one according to the old practice.
Sure enough, soaked in herbal soaked foot washing water, a warm breath, from the bottom, plus Yun Niang fed a bowl of black and black decoction, up and down inside and outside, the damp cold and cool air in the body, finally disappeared, with the nourishment of heat, the lower abdominal pain gradually eased, lazy sleep all morning, in the afternoon Hongfu also went to rest, Wanying sat idly in the attic, only felt sleepy, and slept until dawn. For a few days, it was very boring.
On the evening of the third day, a small official beside Concubine Dong'an came to the teacher's mansion to explain the reason: Concubine Ming'er invited Wanying to the temple on the outskirts of Beijing to pray.
Helplessly, Wanying Kwai Shui did not leave, and could not be accompanied. lest it collide with the gods.
The teacher explained the reason and entrusted the little official: If possible, please accompany Wanrong.
At the time of the meal, the little official replied in a hurry, saying, "Tomorrow, the eldest lady will accompany the concubine to the temple to pray." ”
In this way, Wan Rong also has a lot of face in the house, and Aunt Li is also deeply pleased, and she will send her own private dishes to the teacher for a few nights.
On this morning, Kwai Shui was gone, and his body was much lighter, so he read a little more books at night and slept until dawn. In a daze, I only heard a few people sitting in their attic talking.
Sleepy-eyed, I looked up, and I was happy, "Could it be that someone made a post for me?" ”
Hearing Wanying get up, Wanting walked a few steps quickly and lay on the side of the bed, crawling in the soft quilt, jokingly, and said, "Congratulations to my sister." ”
Wanying knew that it was the joy of congratulating herself on the first arrival of Kwai Shui, and she was used in her heart, and her face was shy, so she only blushed and did not speak.
"A few days ago was a good day for my sister, we can't bother, today a few came to congratulate you, but I didn't expect you to be asleep." Wan Rong said
Wan Yun took over and said, "Aunt Lin has something to do, send us up to call you." ”
"Where are we willing to wake you up, just eat your candy and wait for you to wake up." Wan Rong said.
"Who knows, as soon as we spoke, you woke up, and your feelings were reluctant to be eaten by us." Wanyun quipped.
Everyone laughed, and Wanying also got up with a smile. Seeing all the sisters gathered in their attic, their hearts were very happy, and they only stretched lazily and said, "My good dreams have been disturbed, and I have lazy sleep." ”
"Look at her, look at her tone." Wanyun covered her mouth and smiled bluntly.
"My sister is like this, she is alive and well as a concubine sleeping in spring, but my sister shouldn't chant her own poems, so why don't I replace it with Bai Letian's two sentences, 'The spring night is bitter and the day is short, and the king will not be early from now on.'" Wouldn't it be better to take advantage of the situation? Take a look, before you enter the palace, you took out the posture of a favorite concubine? Wanrong was quick to talk, and after speaking, she knew that Wanyun was on her side, lest she be too careful, so she also lay on Wanyun and said: "Let's have two concubines, what should we do if we call the emperor?" ”
Wanying and Wanyun were embarrassed, and only scolded: "Be a dead hoof, only use straw to gag your mouth." ”
Wan Rong disagreed, and still laughed.
"Sister Ying, Sister Ying, in the backyard today, it's lively, you are up quickly, let's go to Aunt Li's yard together, let's be lively." Wanting said.
"Today, the proprietress of Jumbo Xuan, Bai Liu, personally brought a lot of head jewelry made in the palace, as well as a new look of head flowers, let's go pick a few together, Daddy said, today the three of us don't need to take the silver in our own courtyards, only from the public high school account room to exchange silver." Wanyun put away her embarrassment and couldn't bear her joy.
Although Wanying doesn't like to dress up very much, she is still very interested in those novel jewelry flower arrangements, and everyone has been waiting for a long time, so they have to undress and change their belts, comb their hair and wash their faces, drink a bowl of blood swallow and red date soup, and follow the sisters to Aunt Li's yard with a smile.
When I entered the hall, I found that Aunt Gao and Aunt Cui were also there, holding a few golden threads and looking at them. A few girls entered the room, plus a few maids and nurses, and the room was bustling with people.
