Chapter 20: A Blessing in Disguise
"The old slave heard it, this lady has a good calculation." Mama Xue smiled.
"The abacus is a good fight, but it's ridiculous to just fiddle with everyone else as a fool."
"Those words, if you listen to those who are uninformed and shallow-eyed, I am afraid that you will really be tempted. The uncle's share of the family property can't be moved, and the second master doesn't have a mother, so it's not something to be bullied. When the time comes, the concubines will fight, and the wife will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. It's just that she missaw the master. ”
Aunt Xin touched her stomach and changed her words, "I naturally have to think about myself and my children,...... Mama has also been here for a few days, what do you think of these people in the house? ”
Mama Xue pondered for a moment, "According to the slave, my wife is extremely jealous and narrow-minded, but she loves the reputation of virtue very much, so she is merciful and ruthless. There are several girls in the house, and their appearance is outstanding. As for temperament, ...... four girls are from the top, and some are spoiled. The other three girls, based on today's incident, the three girls would rather hurt themselves than send soup. There was also the happy thing that day, Yuzhen said, only the third girl reminded to invite a doctor and inform the lord and wife. The second girl didn't want to come, but the eldest girl wanted to see the excitement and pulled her up. …… Looking at it this way, the three girls are the most benevolent and good-hearted. The eldest girl has a cold temperament, but she is the most shrewd, and the second girl is too soft and has no scheming. As for the young master, the slave has only seen it once, and he can't see the depth, but fortunately, he has no habit of being a gentleman. "Mama Xue said everyone in the house, but not to mention Master Xun.
Aunt Xin nodded.
"Mama is right. However, you don't know what happened before. Mama looked at the Xun family now, except for the four girls, the nurses around the other girls had already been sent away, and the Fang family only used Mama that week as the nurturing grandma of a few girls. also boasted to the outside, saying that she worked tirelessly and was personally taking care of and teaching these girls. …… The women around the master have never been broken, but now, except for Aunt Wu, who is not a weapon, who else has survived. Once upon a time, there was a big Aunt Wu, who died before she was confined after giving birth to a big girl. The biological mother of the third girl and the second master, I heard that they have some origins. For her sake, the master almost attracted people to say that he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. With such a favor, that aunt died of illness within two years of giving birth to the second master. These are all names and surnames, and those who leave their children are unknown. ”
Aunt Xin sighed and continued: "In the past few years, my wife has done a lot of tricks against me, thanks to the master's unfailing favor, I can be safe until now." Now that I'm pregnant, my wife can't tolerate me. Qiu Ju was subdued by me, and Bai Lotus was sent away by me. She jumped off the wall in a hurry and sent a Chunxi who hadn't been trained yet. It's also that this spring is too anxious, but after waiting for a night, he came to demonstrate with me. Hmph, for the sake of the child in my belly, I can't help but be ruthless. Sure enough, the old man was still thinking of me, and because Chunxi was too explicit, he shamed his face, and in a fit of anger, he disposed of Chunxi like that. ”
"You can't blame the master, if you let Chunxi be favored, the master's life will not be guaranteed."
"Hmm. Mama, what do you think of this kang screen? ”
"The Chang family is also from the Hou Mansion, and there is still some knowledge. She said yes, this embroiderer does not lose the things made inside. It seems that the person who sent this thing should be in this matter, but the person who sent it didn't say anything. ”
The words are all on this embroidered screen, and even the birth of a noble son is clear. I guess the girl embroidered it herself, and she must have secretly learned this craft, and usually changed the money for her brother's activities and expenses. ”
"It's rare that she, a scholarly girl, can endure such hardships. This embroidered screen is not embroidered in a day or two, it should have been prepared a long time ago. It's rare that she has such scheming at a young age. ”
"The third girl is even more valuable for her character, she would rather pretend to be clumsy than practice her own sisters in order to please the Fang family."
"Master, in the current situation, the safest thing is not to help each other. However, the old slave looked at the master's meaning, and he wanted to help this sister and brother. ”
"Yes. It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. I see, this time the second master is bound to enter the family tree. At this time, they will be grateful to me. In the future, if you wait for others to reach and then climb to cling, it depends on people's faces. These sisters and brothers are not things in the pool, and they are not ruthless people, and they may be my children's dependence in the future. ”
"What is the master going to do about what the big girl said?"
"The eldest girl is shrewd, and she not only knows that the master is going to recover, but also knows other news that is related to her future."
"According to the old slave's guess, there are just a few things left and right. The old man is recovering, and I can't say what kind of errand he can get. In officialdom, it is customary to marry children and in-laws, or cling, or make friends. The Fang clan only thought about the future of the master, the uncle, and the four girls, and would not really plan for the other girls. The eldest girl showed favor to her master, because she wanted her master to speak well for her in front of the master. ”
"The eldest girl...... she can live in a courtyard alone, on the surface, in front of his wife, the same treatment as the fourth girl, is to bully the two sisters-in-law and curry favor with the Fang family. This character is really unbearable. ”
"Master, there is an old saying, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain."
Aunt Xin's face darkened, and she lowered her eyes, "I heard the old man talk about it when I was a child, but the old man said something else." His old man said that a gentleman is generous and benevolent, and if he does not respect and care, the villain's character will be corrupted, but he should be respectful and courteous, and there is no reason for this. The old man is never afraid of offending villains, and he will never treat gentlemen slowly. …… But it is precisely because of this that it ended up like that. ”
"Master, the old slave should be damned. You shouldn't mention these things to make your master sad. ”
"Where is your fault. This big girl, we must respect and coax, but we must not make friends. The three girls are worth befriending. ”
"The master is going to ......"
"Doctor Zhang will come to see you later, and I will tell the master to let him go and see the third girl. Mama followed over and passed a few words to the three girls......"
In the evening, Xun Qingran was a little surprised when she heard a report from outside that Imperial Doctor Zhang was coming, thinking that the Fang family didn't ask for a doctor for her. After listening to the bellflower say that Imperial Doctor Zhang came from Lixiang Courtyard, and Mama Xue also followed, Xun Qingran understood a little.
Doctor Zhang checked the pulse, and went outside to write a prescription, but Mama Xue did not go out. Xun Qingran asked the bellflower to lift the tent and sat up to greet Mama Xue.
"Mama Lao Xue will run in person, please sit down and have a cup of tea."
The bellflower moved the embroidery pier, and Mama Xue was humble again and again, and was only willing to sit on the foot of Xun Qing's bedside.
"The old slave knows a little about medical science, if the girl doesn't dislike it, let the old slave see how the injury is?"
Xun Qingran glanced at Mama Xue and nodded in agreement, "Then there will be Mama Lao." ”
Mama Xue looked at the wound on Xun Qing's dyed hand, and cut the pulse for Xun Qing's dye, Fang slowly said some medical theory, and finally said: "It's just that the outer skin is injured, the treatment is timely, and there is a good ointment, the girl just needs to be careful, don't break it, and there will be no scars." He smiled again, "The old slave is a class with an axe, although the old slave is a little familiar with medicine, but he is good at other aspects, and the girl doesn't need it for a while." ”
Mama Xue means that she should be good at obstetrics and gynecology. This should be the reason why Aunt Xin deliberately took her home. Such a hole card was generously exposed to Xun Qingran, just to win her trust and put on a cooperative posture.
"I heard that the girl was scalded by hot soup, and it is a coincidence that today the eldest girl and the second girl also sent tonic soup to our aunt one after another, but Aunt Xiao Wu then chased after her and somehow splashed the bowl of soup on the second girl. The bowl of the eldest girl, she spoke strangely, as if she didn't want our aunt to drink the soup. ”
provided a new message, which sounds like there is a mystery in it, this is another sale of Xun Qing's favor. It seems that this Aunt Xin is more transparent than she thought.
"The Chang family in front of my wife has come to see my aunt. Mrs. Aunt has stabilized her, and the girl should rest assured, master. There is also an important word, the Chang family said that the wife is a little inconvenient. ”
Xun Qingran thought about it for a while, and already understood, and sincerely thanked Mama Xue. Mama Xue didn't stay long, waited for Imperial Doctor Zhang to write the prescription, and left together.
Malt came in with a prescription, "Imperial Doctor Zhang said that the girl's injury is not serious. The ointment for external use is excellent, so there is no need for another ointment. Only one pair of medicine for internal use is prescribed, and if the girl thinks it is edible, she will take two doses to dissipate and dissipate. ”
This is, to put it mildly, this medicine can be eaten or not.
"Girl, do you want to send someone to get the medicine?"
"Of course you have to catch it, and you have to go quickly. I just feel that there is something bad in my heart, and I should have taken a dose to dissipate and dissipate. Xun Qingran said, so he called Malt to give some advice, and then sent her out.
Fang's body is inconvenient, is this a poor donkey skill? Xun Qingran smiled, tomorrow, see what tricks she can use.
