Huo Yi was taken aback when he heard this: "Are you seriously injured?" Get her into the house! He turned around and called someone: "Chun'er go get the medicine." San'er went to get a doctor! Be quick! ”

Chunying hurriedly dropped the luggage in her hand and ran to the warm pavilion of the main house to dig out the medicine box. I don't know if it's because my aunt is weak and sick, and Miss Huo and Aunt Qing's health is not very good, the Huo family has been preparing medicine boxes for many years, which contain prescriptions that can be used for general diseases and pains, and there are also a few family heirloom recipes, which are ready to go to the pharmacy at any time to pick them up and boil. Chunying cleans the room every day, and she has to mention it exquisitely, so she naturally knows that she should use one. Immediately, he took out a box of ointment and a pack of white cloth belts, and hurried back to the main hall.

Aunt Qing drove away a group of idle people and others, and personally took off her shoes and socks for Linglong, only to see that her ankles were almost twice as large, red and purple, and the injury was really not light. Linglong was so painful that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she clenched her teeth, and barely held back her moans. Aunt Qing hurriedly took the ointment handed by Chunying, applied a layer on the wound, and rubbed it gently, Linglong couldn't hold back for a while, snorted lightly, and tears fell.

Chunying hurriedly said: "This can't be done, right?" I'm afraid that the joints will be misaligned. I still let the doctor come to see it, and it's good to correct the bones and then apply the medicine. ”

Aunt Qing had no choice, threw away the ointment, and said a little complainingly: "I have to wait, Linglong too, why is she so careless?" What time is it now? Miss Ming'er is about to go out, but you are here to make trouble! ”

Linglong bit her lip a little aggrievedly: "I originally wanted to check the candle flames everywhere, but I went down the steps, and I didn't see anything on the ground, so I twisted my foot as soon as I stepped on it." Maybe it's a girl who is lazy and didn't clean up, and when I turn around and ask, I'm going to pick their skin! ”

Huo Yi frowned, walked outside the door in person, and looked back and forth by the light of the lantern under the porch, Chun Ying saw that the light was not enough, so she hurriedly took a candlestick from the cabinet to shine it. After Huo Yi checked it out, he came back and said, "There's nothing under the steps." ”

Linglong was very surprised: "How could it be? I could clearly feel something rolling under my feet, like a small wine glass, but ......," she thought for a moment, "it seems like there was more than one!" I've got one on hand, too! I remember that the other foot seemed to kick one away. ”

Aunt Qing frowned and said, "No one in our courtyard drinks, where did the wine glass come from?" Hugh is going to talk nonsense. Linglong was about to argue, but Huo Yi stopped her and said, "That's it, even if there is, Fang Cai is so busy that most of them were picked up." You're so badly injured, Ming'er won't be able to go out, and take care of it. Aunt Qing will choose a girl for me again. ”

Although Linglong was unwilling, she had to respond, and after a while, Sang Er invited a doctor to come, Huo Yi ordered someone to restrain the maids in the courtyard to prevent them from going out of the room to break in, and took Chunying and others to avoid the room, and Aunt Qing led a mother-in-law of the Huo family to entertain her.

The doctor is sixty or seventy years old, he is used to the Hou Mansion, he knows the rules, and he doesn't dare to look around, only his eyes look at his nose, his nose looks at his heart, and he followed his mother-in-law into the main hall without raising his head. I didn't dare to be rash more and more, I didn't dare to be ruthless after grinding for a long time, and I was so painful that I bit the handkerchief and shed tears for a long time before I finished the job. Aunt Qing and the mother-in-law's eyes were almost red, and the old doctor also knew that he was at a loss, so he cowered and wrote the prescription before withdrawing.

Aunt Qing said angrily: "Where did the old immortal come from, it's so useless!" Who invited him?! ”

Outside the door, Sang Er was very scared, and she was afraid that Aunt Qing would blame her, so she hurriedly said: "This is the doctor that the house is used to inviting on weekdays, and the people in the house, no matter who has a bruise, they all ask him to treat it, and there has never been a mistake." ”

Aunt Qing was angry: "This is called nothing wrong?!" Even the girls of the Hou Mansion are so delicate, where can they endure this suffering?! ”

"Alright, auntie." Huo Yi walked out of the room, "Maybe this doctor is not used to the rules of our family and doesn't dare to do it, right?" Quickly give Linglong the medicine, and then carry it back to the room, it's not too early, Ming'er still has business. ”

Aunt Qing had no choice but to lose her anger, handed the prescription to her mother-in-law, and ordered her to go out early tomorrow morning to grab the medicine, and asked Chunying to apply the Huo family's ointment for Linglong.

Chunying tried her best to lighten her strength, but Linglong still kept inhaling the cold air, and finally bandaged it after applying the medicine, in the gap where the daughters-in-law were looking for a stretcher. Linglong suddenly grabbed Chunying and whispered: "I can't go out with Miss, you have to wake me up, and no mistakes are allowed along the way!" ”

Chunying was caught by her, and hurriedly said: "I know, I know, I must wait for Miss De well, don't worry, there will be many people following tomorrow, Miss Watch will be fine." ”

Linglong stared at her twice before letting go of her hand and letting the others carry her onto the stretcher.

One less Linglong, when Miss Huo went out, there was only one Chunying by her side, Aunt Qing called all the older girls in the courtyard over, asked carefully, hesitated between Shi'er, Yulan and Nanqi for a long time, and finally chose Nanqi with a cold expression instead of Linglong.

Nanqi was originally a first-class girl in the second young master Li Changyuan, although she had never waited for the young lady, she was familiar with all the rules of affairs, so she quickly packed her luggage and asked Linglong for travel arrangements. Chunying was on the side, feeling that she was doing things quite neatly, although her face was cold. But he didn't deliberately put on a show, and he was secretly relieved in his heart.

But when we set out on the second day, things changed. Miss Huo has already said goodbye to Mrs. Aunt, the old lady, and Mrs., and the person is ready to get on the sedan chair, when the mother-in-law counts the number of people in the entourage, she finds that Nanqi is missing, and asks about Chunying's head, Chunying only remembers that she saw her when she left the old lady's yard, but she has not seen her since she left the second door.

After hearing the reply, An Shi said, "Where is the reason to let Miss wait for the girl?" This Nanqi is becoming more and more unreliable! In this way, there was no delay for her Yi'er's trip. Old lady, should the daughter-in-law send another good girl to wait? The old lady answered.

The An clan sent someone else, it was none other than Magnolia. Huo Yi heard the return in the sedan chair, and didn't say anything, only ordered to set off.

Chunying, Yulan and the other two Huo family's mothers-in-law each took a small sedan chair carrying green cloth and followed behind Huo Yi's sedan chair. Chunying sat in the sedan chair for the first time, and at first she thought it was quite interesting, but after a long time, she was dizzy and dizzy, and she only felt that breakfast was about to come out. finally endured it for more than half an hour, and then rested again before arriving at the Huo family's old house.

The old residence of the Huo family is located in the west area of Zhongcheng, and the high walls of the imperial city can be seen in the distance. The façade of this house is not large, the red paint on the door has peeled off, and a pair of white lanterns hang under the eaves, which looks a little downcast. After entering the gate, she soon arrived at the second gate, and Chunying followed the instructions of her mother-in-law and got off the sedan chair to help Miss Huo.

The housekeeper of the Huo family and a few maids were waiting at the second gate early, and when they saw Miss Huo, they all hurriedly came up to salute. Chunying guessed that they were all Miss Huo's maidservants, and after asking, she learned that a few of them were called Dong'er, Li'er, Ju'er, and Rui'er, who were the second-class girls around Miss Huo, and the other ones were named Snow Cicada, Blue Dragonfly, Green Butterfly and Lizhu, but they were waiting for Mrs. Huo.

Dong'er is the most talkative, knowing that Chunying and Yulan were sent by the Hou Mansion to serve her young lady, so she smiled and came up to say hello. Chunying chatted with her for a few words, and found that she was a warm-hearted person, so she became close to her. However, Yulan was a little absent-minded, and her eyes were only staring at Huo Yi and the housekeeper.

The greetings on the second door did not last long, and Huo Yi quickly entered the main courtyard. The heir and the Zhang family were waiting in front of the court, and Jinxiu was also standing beside him. After greeting each other, Huo Yi cordially took his brother's hand and walked into the hall to sit down, asked his aunt about the current situation, and asked his brother about his recent homework. Jinxiu answered for Huo Rong one by one.

Huo Rong's little face seemed to be uneasy, and he stammered a text. But to his surprise, the eldest sister did not blame him, but said: "My younger brother is still young, as long as he does not forget his homework every day, it is enough, but there is no need to push too much, the most important thing in a man's family is to be honest and reasonable." ”

Zhang smiled, although he didn't agree with it in his heart, but he also felt that his niece's words were reasonable, so he didn't say anything, just took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve, put them on the table, and said softly: "This is what the prime minister ordered me to return to my nephew." He is an official of the imperial court, and he has the law for every payment, and the kindness of his niece and nephew, our husband and wife have it, but these deeds, please ask your nephew to take them back. ”

Huo Yi was stunned, quickly glanced at Yulan and Chunying, and then pushed the deed back with a smile, and said, "Uncle and aunt are too careful, I think the person who sent the letter didn't make it clear?" This was originally Yi'er's instructions before his father's death, and he specially ordered the housekeeper to purchase twenty hectares of sacrificial land in Beijing, which was originally for the sake of the great cause of the Huo family's descendants, not a private family, and it will also be managed by his younger brother in the future. It's just that Yi'er and her younger brother are still young, and they have a mother to serve, so they can't take care of this property, so they have to entrust it to their uncle. I also asked my uncle and aunt to work hard and help my younger brother. ”

"This ......" Zhang hesitated for a moment, and had to put away one of them, "Then this family ......"

Huo Yi was still smiling: "This family is also a child, and Yi'er sent it to take care of the fields. Thinking that my uncle is a scholar, he is impatient with these mundane affairs, so he just leaves all the trivial matters to his family, and only sends someone to ask every quarter. ”

Zhang's heart moved, and he put it away: "I will tell my father-in-law, please rest assured that our husband and wife will take good care of this property, and when Brother Rong grows up, we will return it to him with a lot of money." ”

As soon as she said this, everyone in the hall had different expressions, and Jinxiu whispered a few words in Huo Yi's ear, and the latter's expression dimmed: "Why do uncles and aunts see outsiders like this?" Not to mention that Brother Rong is your own flesh and blood, Yi'er is also your uncle's niece. Yi'er knows that there are gossips outside, and her uncle is a decent person, so she can't bear it, but Yi'er is young and weak, her mother is sick and weak, and although her grandmother and uncle are good, they are relatives with foreign surnames, and I hope that my uncle will have mercy, and don't alienate Yi'er and her younger brother because of a few gossips from others. ”

Zhang's expression seemed to move, and he hurriedly comforted Huo Yi a few words, because she had been away from home for a few days recently, and she couldn't let go of her husband and eldest son at home, so she planned to go back. Huo Yi ordered someone to prepare a gift for her, including a few hand-copied books and some body-tonifying medicinal materials, and personally took Huo Rong all the way out of the second gate.

Chunying followed Dong'er, under the command of Jinxiu, and the mother-in-law sent the luggage brought back to the courtyard, and the latter asked about the living conditions of the two hostesses in the Hou Mansion, especially the illness of Mrs. Gu a few days ago. Chunying answered them one by one, only to find that Yulan didn't come along. Just when she was confused, Ju'er walked in and said to Jinxiu: "Miss called my sister to go, it seems that she has something to discuss." ”

Jinxiu hurriedly instructed Dong'er to take Chunying to the room to settle down, and left in a hurry. Chunying arrived at the new room and found that although the house was old, all the furniture and supplies were newly purchased, not only of good quality, but also exquisite, better than the one she used in the Hou Mansion.

Dong'er smiled: "Miss has always treated us very well, never stingy, if you want anything, just tell her." As long as we serve well and want anything, Miss has nothing to rely on. ”

Chunying's heart moved slightly, but she soon woke up again, she already had a way out for Zhou Nian, and she didn't need to think about anything else. However, if Miss Biao is really so easy to talk to, her father and brother are here, it is a good place to go.

She was still in that trance, Dong'er looked back, and pushed her with a smile: "What are you in a daze?" It's not about to be cleaned up, and the young lady still needs someone to serve there. You quickly pack up, go to the pantry outside, that's what you saw when you came in, there is an old cinnamon in front of the door, if there is hot water, bring a basin, wait for the lady to wash her face, I will look for a hand towel. ”

Chunying hurriedly stuffed the clothes in the bag into the cabinet, straightened her hair and clothes, went to the pantry according to her words, made half a basin of hot water, mixed it with cold water, tried the temperature to be moderate, and then went to the young lady's room with it.

Before turning the corner, a person ran in front of her, and hit it straight up, Chun Ying was so frightened that she jumped two steps away, and the warm water in the basin shook, splashing half of her sleeve. She looked up and found that it was Magnolia, so she said angrily, "What are you running?!" Don't see anyone?! ”

Yulan's face turned a little pale, her eyes flickered, she squeaked twice, and ran away without saying anything. Chunying only thought that she was unlucky, and when she saw that the water was enough to wash her face, she didn't look back and went straight to the room.

Before she entered the door, she saw Jinxiu standing under the eaves, looking at her expressionlessly, and she couldn't help but panic in her heart: "What...... What's wrong? ”

Jinxiu said lightly: "It's okay - you came from over there, have you seen a figure?" ”

Chunying frowned: "Yes, Rui'er is moving things with a few mothers-in-law, and Yulan just ran over and almost knocked me down." ”

"Oh?" Jinxiu's expression slowed down and smiled faintly, "I see, it's ......"

She smiled softly, but Chunying had some bad feelings. Could it be that Magnolia did something bad?。.。
