Chapter 158: Mrs. Gu's Last Words
Chunying hurried to the second gate to find someone. found that the familiar mother-in-law was gone, and a somewhat dull housekeeper was replaced to prevent her from going out. She repeatedly said that she would send someone to ask a doctor to treat Mrs. Gu's illness, but he just said vigorously: "Mrs. can only let you out if Mrs. speaks, and if Mrs. speaks, I can let you out." ”
Chunying was so anxious that she jumped to her feet: "I won't go out, you call someone for me!" Otherwise, pass the word for me! ”
"No, I want my wife to speak!" The family shook his head and said, "Mrs. said, you are not allowed to pass things outside in private, and you are not allowed to pass things in private, and when you talk and hand things, you have to nod your wife, otherwise it will be unruly!" He muttered in a low voice: "Mrs. beat someone on the board early this morning, I don't want to be beaten on the board!" ”
Chunying secretly gritted her teeth. Could it be that the Huo family made Mrs. unhappy by the fact that they purchased medicinal materials and supplements through Nanqi? But stopping people at this juncture is too infuriating. It's a matter of human life! So she immediately lowered her face and said, "You have to find out, now that Mrs. Gu is sick, and she is anxious to ask the doctor to come and see, everyone will see me running over." In case of delay, Mrs. Gu has a good job, I only put the responsibility on you, can you afford it?! ”
The guy seemed to hesitate, but he was still dumbfounded. Chun Ying caught a glimpse of the eldest young master and the third young master walking from the direction of the gate from a distance, and she didn't care about the family anymore, so she directly pushed him away and ran over, and reported bluntly: "Mrs. Gu suddenly fell ill, please ask the young masters to invite a doctor to take a look!" ”
The eldest young master and the third young master both changed their faces, and the former asked urgently, "How can this be?" Doesn't it mean that my aunt's condition has improved?! ”
Chunying replied: "No one knows what's going on, Aunt Hua and Second Miss came to visit, and after a few words, Mrs. Gu suddenly fainted, and her body was cold, and Miss Cousin and Aunt Qing were in a panic." ”
The eldest young master hurriedly said to the third young master: "I'll go and find the doctor who is used to in the family, it's too far away from the hospital, I'm afraid it's too late to go back and forth, the third brother will go to Jingwang's Mansion, I remember that there is a doctor stationed there all the year round." ”
The third young master nodded, and the two immediately turned around and ran out quickly, Chun Ying turned around and saw that the family was still stunned, and said, "How can you come out?" The girl can't go out of the second door! She knew that this was a bastard, so she didn't say much to him, and went back to the Evening Fragrance Pavilion.
When she arrived at the Evening Fragrance Pavilion, Chunying was about to enter the house to talk back to Miss Cousin, but she saw that the second lady had an anxious look on her face, and there were two tear stains on her face. is crying and scolding Aunt Hua outside: "...... Tell you not to come, you desperately want to follow, but there is such a trouble, in case my aunt has a good one, how do you tell me to meet people?! ”
Aunt Hua bowed her head and said, "How do I know...... I really didn't say anything, just two gossips......" His eyes glanced inward uneasily, and his hands almost twisted the handkerchief into a twist.
Aunt Qing's voice suddenly came from inside: "Madam, Mrs. is awake!" Immediately attracted the attention of everyone outside, Chun Ying hurriedly went inside and replied: "Miss Cousin, aunt, the eldest young master has already invited a doctor, and the third young master has also gone to King Jing's Mansion to ask for a doctor there." ”
Only Aunt Qing nodded at her, indicating that she heard it, Huo Yi's whole mind was on her mother, and when she saw her mother wake up, she couldn't help crying: "Mother, mother, you scared the child!" ”
Li Shi was half dazed, gently raised his hand and stroked his daughter's head, and glanced at Aunt Qing, who hurriedly put his ear to her mouth. Listening to her whispers, she went out and said, "You still have to take care of the patient here, please forgive the slave and maid for being rude, the second lady and Aunt Hua should go back first." ”
The second lady hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my aunt?" Does it matter? ”
Aunt Qing lowered her eyes: "This will not be known until the doctor diagnoses it." ”
Aunt Hua twisted her handkerchief, a little uneasy: "Then I'll wait with the second miss...... but was interrupted by her daughter: "Then let's go back first, if there is news, my aunt must ask someone to report to me." Aunt Hua was about to interject and asked her daughter to pull it secretly, so she had to shut up and leave with her.
Aunt Qing called Chunying Shi'er and the two of them again: "Go and wait at the door, please come in as soon as the doctor comes." Chunying and Shi'er went as they said, she turned back to the inner room, and saw Huo Yi take out an old ebony box from the big cabinet with red eyes, and was secretly taken aback, and hurriedly bowed her head and guarded the door.
Huo Yi held the box in front of her mother, who struggled to open her mouth and called "open the ......", she hurriedly did so, only to see that the box contained a jade seal and a letter, and she couldn't help but be stunned - this seal she had seen many times at her father's place.
Li Shi gasped for a moment before whispering, "This...... It's the fleet...... and the seal of the steward...... The talent of the fleet is willing to admit that this one is engraved with 'Jinghai', and the other is 'Zhiyuan', which is the name of the first two treasure ships of the Huo family...... When the mother went, the palace ...... The queen will send someone to mourn...... You take the contents of this box, along with the seal and the letter...... Bring someone to bring it back......"
Huo Yi was sad and surprised: "Mother, what are you doing here?!" This...... This is our fleet! ”
"Initially...... It is the palace concubine Niangniang's contribution...... At the beginning, Emperor Taizong wanted to open up the Nanyang trade, but hundreds of officials in the court opposed it. In the name of the library...... The bold people were willing to participate in the shares, and they also gained a lot afterwards. Our family's fleet...... Half of the annual income goes to the inner treasury...... The rest is enough for our Huo family to squander for a few lifetimes...... I don't know how many people are red-eyed, but you have two sisters and brothers...... You're still young, and your uncle is a useless one, so respect your brother...... I don't know what I want to do without knowing what my family wants, but I can't believe it...... The fleet is good, but it is a scourge to keep it...... It's better to hand it back...... Let others rob ......"
Huo Yi understood her mother's worries, and couldn't help crying bitterly: "It's all daughters who are useless...... If the daughter is a boy, where does the mother need to worry about this? The inheritance left by the ancestors will not be unkept! ”
Li Shi gasped, gently held his daughter's hand, and said softly: "I don't blame you, it was your father and mother, I didn't know how to plan early, but it hurt my son, at a young age, I have to work hard and take care of housework...... Mother is really derelict in her duty to be happy with her relatives and not to be considerate of you......"
Huo Yi shook his head violently, tears like pearls with broken threads, and kept falling.
Li Shi gasped vigorously and reluctantly continued: "Brother Rong is too young...... You're just a kid too...... Or send him home...... Don't let him separate his flesh and blood, and blame us ...... in the future."
Huo Yi nodded and cried. Aunt Qing at the door couldn't help choking, bit her handkerchief and rushed to the door and shouted, "Hasn't the doctor come yet?!" ”
Chunying was waiting anxiously, so she could only answer: "It should be almost there." Shi'er suddenly shouted: "The old lady and Mrs. are here!" ”
When Li heard it in the house, he instructed his daughter to say the last few words: "Be more filial to your grandmother and uncle...... It's up to them in the future...... Brother You is very good, but if you really don't like it, your mother won't force you...... It's just a family affair of the Gu family, and it may not be possible...... You don't have to push it too hard...... Mother only asks you for a safe and smooth life......"
The old lady trembled and rushed in, and cried out in her heart: "My son! What's going on?! When Li Shi heard this, he burst into tears: "Mother......" Huo Yi was already crying and fell to the bedside.
Chunying listened sadly outside, and inadvertently turned around and heard his wife An's instructing peony: "Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?" The messenger in the outer courtyard is getting more and more disagreeable, so send someone to invite it! She suddenly remembered the new housekeeper on the second door, and hurriedly lowered her head. Quietly return to the gate of the hospital.
An Shi entered the inner room, and saw that Li's face was gray, and he probably didn't do it, so he cried twice, then pulled Huo Yi by his hand, and whispered: "You kid, why are you so confused?" Look at your mother's appearance, you should also be prepared, just rush it, why can't you let her ...... like this"
When Li saw Aunt Hua, she was wearing homely clothes, which was not rude, but she was sick at home for a long time, and her hair and makeup were a little more casual. Huo Yi gritted her teeth, so she had to discuss a few words with Aunt Qing, who cried and went to the closet to find Li's decent clothes, while Huo Yi went to find the dresser, and when she turned around and saw her mother from a distance, she was so sad that she could barely stand, and she asked Ju'er to hold her.
At this time, Li Shi grabbed the old lady breathlessly, and begged with tears: "Mother, my daughter only has this bit of blood and bones...... Please also ask your mother to take care of ......."
"What stupid things are you talking about?! You'll be fine! The old lady was heartbroken, "Who caused you to get sick?!" Who is it?! I will never spare her! ”
An Shi stood behind and choked up: "I heard that Aunt Fang Cai said bad things in front of her sister?" My sister really doesn't have to take those bastard words to heart......"
"What?!" The old lady was suddenly furious, "Quickly call someone to bet that cheap maid!" ”
"Mother......" Li grabbed her sleeve with all his might, "Don't do it for your daughter...... The house is restless......" She gasped a few times and felt that her breath was smoother, and then continued: "I beg my mother...... Good student to take care of Yi'er......"
An Shi hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, we have all said that my sister-in-law will treat Yi'er as her own daughter in the future, and she will not be wronged." ”
Li Shi smiled and shook his head slightly: "Brother You'er is very good...... But Yi'er is too stubborn...... The two may not be a good match...... Fan's sister-in-law was also very good back then...... My brother didn't like it, so he only thought about Dong Mengyao......"
As soon as she said this, the old lady and An Shi's expressions were a little unnatural, and the latter's face turned even darker. turned around and drank the peony medicine: "Why don't you go ahead and urge, when is it, hasn't the doctor come yet?!" Peony hurriedly answered and went out.
Li stared at his mother and continued, "Originally...... Yi'er's father told her about a family affair...... The family's surname is Gu ...... It was also the family of the Jiangnan eunuch...... It's just that...... At that time, the Gu family was in office, and it was too late to make a written ceremony......"
The old lady seemed to understand a little, and said with tears: "Don't worry, I will find a good home for Yi'er, if she is willing to enter the Li family, it is naturally the best, otherwise...... Whether it's the Gu family or another family, I won't let the child be wronged......"
Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person leaned back: "Thank you mother...... The daughter also has a reluctant request...... Let me go back to Huo's house...... I'm ...... after all It's the Huo family......"
When Chunying finally waited for the eldest young master to arrive with the doctor sweating profusely, there was a cry from the house, which shocked everyone in the courtyard. The eldest young master didn't care about the rules, so he picked up the doctor and rushed to the house.
After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he just shook his head and asked the Hou Mansion to ask Gao Ming. The old lady was so sad that she wanted to hit someone, and at this time, the third young master also came with the imperial doctor. The diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor was also the same result, but the needle was extended for the patient for a pillar of incense.
When Hou Ye got the news and hurried over, Huo Yi just covered his mother's face with a piece of Supa, and passed out. Everyone hurriedly moved her back to the room and decorated the funeral for the Li family. The old lady cried so much that she was finally persuaded by An's to calm down a little, looked at everyone in the room, and said in a choked voice: "In the future, Miss Biao is the young lady of our family, and she is a serious master, you all change your words for me!" In the future, you will be your young lady's people, all the supplies here are according to the previous example of the eldest lady, if anyone dares to slack off, my wife will be the first to spare him! Hear me clearly?! ”
The crowd knelt down in response. Chunying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and thought: Is this a change of owner? That...... Who exactly does she own?。.。
