Chapter 88: Breaking the Mystery
The rough mother-in-law was surprised and delighted, Yuan Quye has always been proud of his identity, the family rules are very strict, and the leftovers eaten by the masters, even if they are poured out, will not be left for the subordinates to eat, in order to show the difference in dignity and inferiority.
However, for these rough women, the leftover meals of the master are enough for them to salivate.
After Jinqing and Jinzhi fell asleep at night, Taohong stared and pulled Shujuan's sleeve to the courtyard, and whispered angrily: "You are going to die!" Eat something inside and out! You want Madame to beat you to death, don't you?! ”
Shujuan pushed her away impatiently, pulled out her sleeves that were wrinkled by peach, and snorted coldly: "Who ate inside and out?" To whom do you show your loyalty here? Why don't you call in front of Madame? ”
Taohong was anxious, changed her previous attitude of low eyebrows and pleasing to the eyes, raised her eyebrows fiercely, and gritted her teeth and said: "I can tell you, Mrs. hates to eat cheap hooves inside and outside, you don't have to do it against Mrs.!" ”
Shujuan has always been a straight-up hot temper, and pushed away the peach cross waist and scolded: "You are the cheap hoof!" Dare to scold me again, believe it or not, tear your mouth apart! ”
Peach glanced left and right in fright, stepped forward to cover Shujuan's mouth, and shouted, "You are going to die!" If someone hears you, I will be punished! ”
Shujuan was also dizzy just now, and at this time she saw that the yard was quiet, and only when the moonlight shone quietly on the courtyard, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said angrily to Taohong: "Do you see it clearly?" When we serve in the yard of our wife, we are frozen in winter and sunburned in summer, when can we go into the house to serve? It's just cold this year, and the second lady let you into the house to serve, isn't it unbearable to see you frozen outside? Do you have a conscience? ”
Speaking of this, Shujuan hated that iron could not be steel, and nodded on the door of Peach's head, "You! I only see that Mrs. is in charge of the house, why don't you see who has a good heart and who is willing to be good to you! Beware that Mrs. Bajie didn't catch it well, but was sent over by Mrs. to be the eldest young master's housekeeper! ”
Looking at Shujuan's back without looking back, she stomped her feet angrily, what can the second lady do if she is the imperial doctor, she is not a concubine, and the marriage will be in the hands of Mrs. and Master in the future, and the person who can't see clearly is Shujuan! What about rationing the lame young master to make a room, in the future, when she gives birth to a child, she will be able to raise her mother to an aunt with her son, look at Aunt Qin in the house, how good her life is, and her food and clothing are no worse than that of Mrs. With the second miss, she has not been a maid for the rest of her life!
When Feng Qing was half asleep, he vaguely heard the quarrel between the two maids in the yard, and wanted to get up to get up and shut them up, but as soon as his hand stretched out the warm quilt, he was frozen back by the cold air, and rolled up the quilt tightly and lay down.
The two maids were given to her by the old witch Wei Lao, if she is loyal, she is indispensable to the benefits of the maids, if she has other ideas, she can't stop it, she and Jinzhi can't stay in this family for long, why bother, just let them go, see what can be done!
Early the next morning, as soon as Jin Qing arrived at the Tai Hospital, a female official was waiting there early in the morning, and when she saw that she didn't say much to greet, she was going to take her into the palace.
This female official Jin Qing recognized that it was the palace maid next to the concubine Niangniang, called Hexin, and Jin Qing had seen her when she went to the palace of the concubine Niangniang before. Jin Qing thought that the concubine was in poor health, so she smiled and said, "Doctor Qiao hasn't come yet, please bother Aunt to wait a while." ”
He Xin hesitated, and 1 whispered: "It's not for the concubine Niangniang, I have a ............... in the palace, so I am sick, and I want to ask Dr. Yuan to take a look." ”
Jin Qing saw that she was reluctant, as if she didn't want to say more, so she readily agreed, carrying the medicine box and following behind the palace maid, the weather has become colder and colder these days, many elderly people in the palace can't stand the cold, and there are many sick people, and every morning there are palace maids or little eunuchs guarding the door of the hospital to ask for someone.
Hexin is the person who serves the concubine Niangniang, she is about forty years old, her grade is not low, and she can bother her to invite someone in person when she is sick, I am afraid that the background is not so simple.
Jin Qing followed Hexin around and around, and finally arrived at the place, where there were several houses in the small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, and the open space was full of radishes and cabbage. Jin Qing followed the female officer into one of the ear rooms, and a woman in her forties was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and sat up with difficulty after hearing the noise.
Looking at the dilapidated palace in front of him, Jin Qing understood that this patient was estimated to be a concubine left by the former emperor, living in such a remote and dilapidated palace, slowly staying up and waiting for death.
Hexin stepped forward to support the woman, turned her head to Jin Qing and sighed: "Niangniang has had a fever since yesterday morning, and she has not seen a fever. ”
The woman on the bed coughed dryly, slapped away her heart's hand, frowned, and said, "What do you care about me?" Why don't you serve your master? Stay away from me, a dead old woman, and save yourself from bad luck! ”
He Xin sighed in a low voice: "Niangniang, it's all here, why don't you have to get along with yourself?" After that, he turned his head and beckoned to Jin Qing, who walked over knowingly, sat on the edge of the bed upside down, and took the pulse of the woman on the bed.
Jin Qing doesn't know much about the history of the Tang Dynasty, which has changed beyond recognition, but he also knows that although the former emperor is wise and martial, he has a fatal problem that is greed, and when he died, there were many hierarchical and unranked concubines.
There are not enough palace rooms in the palace to accommodate these women of no rank, and if there is no son and no grade, more than a dozen people will live in a courtyard, like this woman in front of her, it is already good to have a separate room to live, Jin Qing has also seen two or three people squeezing a house, who can believe that the emperor's woman is so miserable in her old age!
However, in this year, the women of the former emperor are almost dead, and there are a few left, most of whom are waiting for death. It's just that this winter has not snowed for a long time, and the air is dry and cold, which is the time when diseases are more frequent, and there are more people sick than in previous years.
didn't resist the woman who spoke ill of her heart, she snorted coldly, An An closed her eyes and let Jin Qing take her pulse, Jin Qing smiled after taking the pulse: "It's just that it's cold, it's cold, it's not a big deal, I'll prescribe medicine, drink it while it's hot, and sweat."
He Xin breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "That's annoying Doctor Yuan." ”
Jin Qing hurriedly excused himself and said: "Don't dare to be it, it's a matter of duty." "The concubines left by the former emperor are indeed troublesome, and ordinary imperial doctors are unwilling to come to contaminate this bad luck, and it is not good to invite men to treat her.
After Jinqing prescribed the medicine, Hexin handed over the prescription to the little eunuch who was in charge of the courtyard at the door, and gave the little eunuch a chain of silver, so that he could serve him well. Seeing that it was the female official beside the concubine, the 1 little eunuch nodded for fear that the etiquette would not be thoughtful, and promised again and again that he would take good care of the mother.
Jin Qing silently followed Hexin out of the courtyard, and sighed Hexin: "Doctor Yuan, I can't help it, the little eunuch who serves her is inconvenient to go out of the palace to ask for a doctor, today's incident, you should not have happened." ”
Before she could finish speaking, Jin Qing took over the words, "Aunt Hexin, please rest assured, Jin Qing will never say anything outside." "This lady seems to have a personal grudge with the concubine, and it seems that she is in a dilemma with her heart.
He nodded with satisfaction, and hurriedly walked out with Jin Qing, and when he walked to the south gate of the emperor, Jin Qing saw a sedan chair parked far away at the door facing them, and it seemed that he was going to enter the palace.
He Xin grabbed Jin Qing, and 1 whispered: "In front is the sedan chair of the lord of Chengfu, you can salute with me, don't disturb the nobles." ”
Jin Qing nodded yes, walked quickly behind He Xin with his head down, and was just about to salute, when he saw the female official next to the sedan chair waving his hand at them, making a silent gesture, and seeing that he didn't need to salute, he led Jin Qing to the left quickly against the corner of the city wall.
The curtain of the sedan chair was so tightly covered that outsiders could not see anything inside. However, when Jin Qing walked past the sedan chair, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of the right side of the sedan chair, Jin Bi couldn't help but look at him in surprise, and his pace slowed down.
Meng Jun stood there with his head slightly bowed, and Jin Qing only heard a crisp girl's voice coming from the sedan chair, with infinite joy and excitement, "You are General Meng Jun?" The general Meng Xiao who fought the Turks and fell into the flowing water? ”
When Meng Jun raised his head, his eyes keenly saw Jin Qing not far away, and he quietly shifted his gaze, and then lowered his eyes and replied, "It is Meng Jun who is lowly and degraded." ”
The voice of the lord of Chengfu in the sedan chair was very sweet, like a girl who admired heroes, and said softly: "You are really brave, we have not had a general like you in the Tang Dynasty for many years......
This voice is as sweet as honey, and Rao is a tough man, and he will be sweetened by her voice.
Jin Qing only cared about listening to the little county lord, and his feet naturally slowed down, and when the heart in front came back to his senses, he had already opened Jin Qing for a long distance, and when he turned around and saw that Jin Qing didn't catch up, he was shocked and angry, and hurriedly took a few steps back and pulled Jin Qing away quickly.
Fortunately, the people around the lord of Chengfu were all looking at Meng Jun and didn't notice Jin Qing, otherwise Jin Qing would have been hated by the nobles! Jin Qing also knew that Fang had almost made a big mistake, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I was just distracted, and my pace was slow." ”
Hexin's face looked better when he heard this, remembering that Jin Qing entered the palace directly from the people, and he didn't understand the rules of the palace, he sighed, and said with a pleasant face: "You have to remember in the future, the things in this palace, see less, talk less, know less, and you are safe." ”
Jin Qing saluted respectfully, "Thank you aunt for your teachings." "Hexin is the person next to the concubine, and she can't afford to offend.
However, when Jin Qing returned to the Tai Hospital, she felt a little frightened in retrospect, as if she had broken through some royal secret, and the words that the lord of Chengfu said to Meng Jun seemed to her that it was like a girl meeting the sweetheart she longed for
