A bowl of soup and medicine went down to the stomach, leaving a strong bitter taste in the mouth, the little maid Biqiu took the medicine bowl in Ruan Yunsi's hand and put it on the table, and helped her to lie down, and then tucked the quilt corners, and said diligently: "Although it is spring now, this miscarriage is not a joke, fortunately, our family is not as good as before, this bedding and medicine are all available, the old lady and the young master invited a famous doctor in the city to come, grandma is relieved." ”

Ruan Yunsi closed her eyes, as if she was too lazy to answer the maid's courtesy, and only said "um", Biqiu saw that she looked a little lazy, so she picked up the medicine bowl and quietly retreated.

But when he passed by the upper room, he was called in by his wife Liu, and she asked in a deep voice, "How is your grandmother's situation now?" We are all careful to serve, although our family is not the rich merchants and nobles of others, but as long as you do your best, there is still a reward. “

Bi Qiu hurriedly blessed her body and thanked her, and then said with a smile: "It's no big deal for the slave to look at grandma, and in two days, it is estimated that she will be able to get out of bed and walk around." Isn't it okay in the future? Mrs. Don't worry. ”

Liu nodded, and ordered Biqiu to go out, she was distracted for a long time, Fang stood up and entered the back room, and said to the old lady sitting on the kang: "Mother, just now Biqiu came over and said that there is no big problem for the daughter-in-law, and it is estimated that in two or three days, she will be able to get out of bed and walk, you see......" She seemed to show a little embarrassed look on her face.

The old lady glanced at her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Xin'er is now a lifter, and it is also appropriate to have two concubines beside her." I know what you want to say, yes, our family went from a poor household to this status that day, thanks to the daughter-in-law who took her own money and helped Xin'er to be admitted to the exam. It's just that since she got married, we didn't treat her badly, although our family was poor at that time, but Xin'er already had a reputation for showing talent, she was a woman of unknown origin, we were willing to take her in, and let Xin'er marry her, isn't this also a kindness? What's more, this is not to ask her to go to court, but to give Xin'er two more concubines, if she is sensible and reasonable, we should not mention this matter, she should be covered herself. Now I pity her for having a miscarriage, afraid of being weak, and personally arrange this matter for Xin'er, she should be grateful, how can she be annoyed? It's just your heart. ”

Liu said respectfully: "Yes, although the daughter-in-law is slender, she is not a good figure, she and Xin'er have been married for three years before they have a child, but they have a miscarriage, it can be seen that our Zhang family's incense alone can not count on her." I just feel that she seems to be quite strong on weekdays, and I am afraid that if I hear this, even if I don't say it on my face, I will be annoyed in my heart. Now that I hear my mother say this, I am relieved. ”

Old Mrs. Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "Are you young, or you have lost your eyes." Why do you think I made the decision to let Xin'er marry her that day? At that time, you were still opposed, if it weren't for Xin'er's iron heart, you alone would not know how many famines you would have to fight with me. Before he finished speaking, he heard Liu's smile and said: "Yes, at that time, the daughter-in-law was young and ignorant, where did the old lady have experienced a lot?" It's just that the daughter-in-law was also worried that her origin was unknown, and it would be difficult to say if it was the concubine of a wealthy merchant who ran out. Is my daughter-in-law afraid of affecting our family? ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Your worries are not unreasonable, do you think I don't have such worries?" It's just that her demeanor is calm and not chaotic at all, and her beauty comes second, but the extravagance and elegance in her gestures cannot be ignored. I thought about it, and felt that this girl must have run out of some rich and noble family, but she was not a daughter who was in distress. Who knew that she could endure it, but she refused to reveal her identity until now, so I died, thinking that she probably had a complete falling out with her mother's side. It doesn't matter, she finally didn't hide her secrets, took out her money, and helped Xin'er win this person in the end. On this point, don't talk about you, I also remember her good in my heart. It's just a matter of the Zhang family's branches, where can she pay attention to what she pays attention to in her life? Since she is a young lady, she must be enlightened in this regard. Our Zhang family has been passed down for several generations, and it is easy to get to the Xin'er generation, and it is not the poor situation in the past that could not afford to raise children, but it is not necessary to accept a few more wives and concubines, and give birth to some sons and daughters around the knee to be happy? ”

After saying this, Liu smiled and groaned, and the initial anxiety in his heart was gone, and he stood up and said: "That is the case, that daughter-in-law will invite the Liu matchmaker in the east of the city to come over tomorrow, and she also told me last time, Xin'er raised people in high school this time, maybe she will be able to get a jinshi again this autumn, and at that time, such a young and promising person is not proud of the spring breeze?" Therefore, there are several big families who are interested in kissing us, and they are also willing to be aunts and concubines. ”

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Isn't this good? They're smart enough to rush over now. If Xin'er really won the Jinshi, even if they stepped through the threshold, we wouldn't be able to look down on it at that time. It's okay, you just go and arrange it, anyway, it's just a two-room concubine, and you don't have to be too selective. ”

Liu then went out with a smile.

************************

After the peach and apricot trees are in bloom, the weather gradually warms up.

Ruan Yunsi walked back and forth in the yard of her own peach and apricot trees, and while watching the petals being blown off by the breeze, she smiled at Biqiu beside her: "I have been lying in the house for more than a month, and I have only laid my originally awake brain in a drowsy state, and now I can finally come out for a walk, and I will catch up with this blossoming flower, but it is a good scene." ”

Biqiu said with a smile: "What grandma said is, but what are these peach blossoms and apricot blossoms in the yard?" He told the slave and maid that it was better to go to the back garden for a walk, where there were many trees and pavilions. ”

Ruan Yunsi glanced at her, shook her head and smiled: "It's really a person who has never seen the world, I just think that more trees is better." But I don't know that although the back garden is famous as a garden, where can it be compared with the real garden? There is neither water nor flowers, there are no lakes and bridges, and there are no water pavilions and song platforms, but there are just two pavilions and dozens of flowers and trees, which can also be called a garden? In my opinion, it is better to have a few trees in this courtyard, although there are few, but it always has the interest of the word natural. ”

Bi Qiuqi said: "Listening to grandma say this, it seems that our family's garden is not good, but when it was built, didn't grandma really praise grandpa?" It is said that although the garden is small, it can see the big picture, and those who do not have big hills and ravines in their chests cannot do it. The slave remembered that she was really happy at that time. ”

Ruan Yunsi pursed her lips, as if she wanted to laugh at her, but she immediately held back, and said: "Ye naturally has hills and valleys in his heart, but he has not seen the gardens of those really rich people's homes with small bridges and flowing water, and the planning is naturally worse, not to mention that the family's money is also limited, and it is rare to be able to make it like this." ”

Biqiu looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so she whispered: "Although the master is good, now he is a person, but the slave and maid always feel that grandma is better, not that the slave and maid are too talkative, if grandma changes into the clothes and jewelry of those rich girls and grandmothers, who doesn't regard you as a fairy-like character?" The slave maid also walked through some families in her early years, and those ladies and rich ladies did not have the charm of their grandmother. ”

Everyone's young lady? Ruan Yunsi's memories flew to an unknown place in an instant, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: She naturally did it as the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but what did it mean? Biqiu only saw people's heads full of pearls and green clothes and fragrant sideburns, how did she know about those conspiracy and calculations behind her back? Born in Houmen, an imprudent one is the end of broken bones. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have run away from home with an iron heart and caused such a big turmoil.

"Grandma, grandma......" Bi Qiu's voice pulled Ruan Yunsi's thoughts back, she glanced back at her henchman, and said softly: "What's the matter?" You've been with me for two years, why are you still babbling like this at every turn? ”

"Grandma, that person just ......" Bi Qiu's face was a little pale, and she glanced at Ruan Yunsi hesitantly, but she snorted and stopped talking, as if she was afraid of something.

Ruan Yunsi frowned, and said coldly: "If you have anything, you can say it, what are you afraid of?" Don't forget, you're my girl. In the last sentence, she deliberately accentuated her tone, and sure enough, she saw that Biqiu's face turned a little paler, and she bowed her head for a long time and said, "Grandma, didn't you see the figure that passed before she just hit the door?" The slave and maid looked at it and fell into ...... It's like the matchmaker on the front street, but maybe it's the slave who is dazzled. ”

"What matchmaker?" Ruan Yunsi stood up suddenly, and after a long time, Fang slowly sat down again, and sneered: "Poor Xiucai has become a lifter, and now I have a miscarriage, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law and the old lady will have other thoughts." ”

Biqiu hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't be angry, you just had a miscarriage, you can't help but be angry." Called the slave maid to say, the young master is still obedient to his grandmother, as long as the young master does not allow this kind of thing to happen, grandma does not have to come forward, so as not to fall into the name of jealousy, why bother? “

Ruan Yunsi didn't say anything for a while, and suddenly looked at Biqiu and said, "Do you think the master can be trusted?" ”

"If you can rely on it, you can definitely rely on it." Bi Qiu hurriedly said, but heard Ruan Yunsi sigh abruptly: "If it was before, I also knew that he was reliable. It's just that after this is lifted, his entertainment has gradually increased, and he is afraid that he will only be drunk by the warm wind, and he mistakenly makes the Qinglou an embroidery building. This poem was changed by her, the Qinglou is the place where the fireworks woman is, and the embroidery building is the innocent place of the daughter in the boudoir, and the two should not be confused.

"Grandma." Bi Qiu looked at Ruan Yunsi with some concern, but when she saw her stand up, she said softly: "That's it, I'm a little tired, Bi Qiu, help me go back to the room." ”
