Chapter 274: Medicine
When Sun saw Sanniang coming in, he only raised his eyes lazily.
Originally, when Xue's lived in this main house, the main seat of the Ming room was a sandalwood square and a sandalwood chair in the east and west, and the Sun family was not used to sitting on the chair of **, nor was he used to sit on the kang in the second room, so Xue placed a pear blossom wood carved Arhat bed about the same size as the Songling Courtyard in his hometown in Shandong.
Wu Niang's eyes were already red and swollen, and it seemed that she had not just cried in Sun's room for such a short time. Wu Niang has been sick in bed, only on the day Sun came, she came to the main room to see Sun once in the evening. Sanniang saw Aunt Cui for the first time after she was pulled out.
Wu Niang has lost a lot of weight now, and she originally had a small face the size of a palm, but now it seems that only those big eyes are left. There is not even a little flesh on the face, which is very pitiful to look at. Sanniang just glanced at it and looked away.
Seeing Sanniang come in, she looked up, and saw that Sanniang's face was faint, her face was even darker, but the words of pleading with Sun seemed to be stuck in her throat and couldn't say it anymore.
"Okay, don't crowd in my room anymore, Wu Niang hasn't said hello to your mother for a long time, right? Go with your third sister. Sun lay on the Arhat bed and yawned.
Sanniang inadvertently swept her eyes over Erniang, who was sitting on the side of Sun's Luohan's bed, and bowed cleanly to Sun's before withdrawing. I don't know if it's her delusion, she always feels that this main room has been filled with a rotten atmosphere since the Sun family moved in. She didn't want to stay there for a long time, she felt depressed for no reason.
As soon as Sanniang came out, she took a deep breath of fresh air outside. The wide cross road in the middle of the courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs, but the four corners are still covered with mud. Some plants were planted. On this damp late autumn morning, you can smell the fragrance of the earth, which makes you feel refreshed.
There was a slight sound of breaking wind behind him when the curtain was opened and lowered, and the sound of broken footsteps, Sanniang didn't have to look back to know who it was. So there really wasn't any turning back. Just lead the way to the small corner gate that leads to the backyard.
"Third sister-" I remembered Wu Niang's somewhat hoarse voice later.
Sanniang stopped her steps, and waited for Wuniang to catch up, but Wuniang walked to a place one step away from Sanniang and stopped.
"Third sisterβI don't know. Mother her death is ...... However, my aunt is the one who gave birth to me, and she has been taking care of me all these years. There's no way I can ignore her life or death. "Wu Niang's mother. It is Sanniang's biological mother Zhao.
Sanniang was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "It has nothing to do with me who you want to find to help, and I won't stop it." β
"Third sister, do you and the fifth brother hate me?" Wu Niang asked softly.
But as if she was afraid of hearing Sanniang's answer, Wu Niang didn't wait for Sanniang to speak and said first: "In my heart, you, the fifth brother and my aunt are my closest people, and I don't have an aunt anymore." I don't want to leave you and my fifth brother gone...... Sister, you once said that you would treat me as a sister for the rest of your life. Wu Niang choked up.
Sanniang was stunned, she didn't say this. The person who said this is probably the predecessor of this body. But because of Aunt Cui, Sanniang has no way to treat Wuniang as a simple sister. There is a love house and a black house. Then disgust will also implicate, right?
What's more, even if the original body of this body is still there, if she knows that Zhao's death is inseparable from Aunt Cui, she has no way to face Wu Niang with a normal mentality, right? And if Wu Niang knew that Aunt Cui had designed this fate, would she still be able to say such a thing to her?
However, she didn't want to say this, she just couldn't get too close to Wu Niang, and she couldn't say that she hated it.
"There is a debtor and a debtor, what Aunt Cui did has nothing to do with you, and she also got the punishment she deserved. I...... Didn't hate you. Sanniang finally said lightly.
"Really? Sister? Wu Niang said cautiously.
Sanniang nodded: "It's not too early, let's go to my mother's." β
Wu Niang seemed to be relieved, she blinked, she had just cried for a long time, and her face was a little wet. When I came out and was blown by the wind, my face felt a little tight, which was very uncomfortable. took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face carefully, Wu Niang hurriedly walked a few steps and followed San Niang.
Xue was assigning errands to the stewards in the yard in her room, but Mama Chang stood behind her without saying a word, just watching, only when Xue asked her, she was opening her mouth to put forward her opinion.
When Sanniang and Wuniang went in, they saw such a scene.
The two stepped forward to greet Xue, and Xue was a little surprised when he saw Wu Niang coming: "Wu Niang, are you feeling better?" I see that you are in a very bad spirit, why did you get up? β
Wu Niang didn't look up at Xue, she only pursed her lips, and her voice was hoarse in illness: "I'm much better, I got up today to say hello to my grandmother." β
Xue was a little embarrassed when he heard this.
Since Aunt Cui was punished by Mama Xue for kneeling last time, Wu Niang has always been a little wary of the Xue family, and has never been able to get close to the Xue family. In her impression, when her mother-in-law Zhao was there, she had always been kind and pleasant, and she never said a word about her aunt in front of her, let alone beat and scolded. She decided that Xue's gentle face was faked. Since they came to Beijing, my aunt has not had a good life, and in the end she lost her life.
There is no way she likes Xue.
Seeing the embarrassing scene, Xue asked her for help again, and Sanniang coughed lightly and said, "The fifth sister has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is not yet well. Mother told her to go back and lie down, this autumn is cold and cold, and it is easy to get sick."
Hearing this, Xue Shi hurriedly said: "Yes, Wu Niang, you continue to go back and lie down." I'll call a doctor to show you later. β
Wu Niang didn't insist, and after bowing to the Xue family, she withdrew.
Seeing her leave, Xue Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "You all go down, just do what I arranged just now." β
The housekeepers retreated, but Chang Mama hesitated for a while and did not move, only looked up at Sanniang.
When Xue saw it, she saw that she had something to say to Sanniang, and when she saw that the other grandmothers had retreated, she also withdrew the maids beside her, and said to Sanniang: "I'll go to the back room to look at the account book." "Let Sanniang and Mama Chang talk alone.
Mama Chang was very surprised when she saw it, and Sanniang thought about it and stopped Xue: "Mother, you don't have to leave." He said to Mama Chang again: "Mama has something to say, mother, she is not an outsider." β
Mama Chang glanced at Sanniang carefully, and when she saw that her eyes were serious, she knew that she was not talking casually, thinking that Sanniang was helping the Xue family manage the inner courtyard so much, she had a little bit of a plan in her heart.
"Third Miss, the slave maid is a little worried about the old lady's business." Mama Chang figured it out, so she didn't hide it.
"Mother, what's wrong with her?" Xue Shi was taken aback and couldn't help but say.
Sanniang's face was calm, and she signaled Xue not to worry about being nervous.
"The old lady has always had a headache at every turn recently, and she still has a sickness for no reason. I've already bumped into me twice, but each time the old lady kicked me out and wouldn't let me get close, leaving only the second lady alone to serve. It's strange to say, I don't know what medicine the second lady gave to the old lady, and the old lady will be fine after resting for a while after the old lady gets sick. However, the old lady and the second lady had never invited a doctor into the house, and the slave maid thought that even if the medicine was effective, it would be safe to ask the doctor to come and see it. β
Speaking of this, Mama Chang couldn't hide the worry on her face: "But as soon as the slave mentioned this in front of the old lady, the old lady was furious and drove the slave out of the house, and the slave and the maid didn't dare to talk about it in front of the old lady now." β
Sanniang was silent, but Xue, who was listening on the side, frowned, as if she remembered something, turned around and went back to the inner room, and after a while, she took out a blue and white porcelain medicine box.
"Mama, come and take a look, is this the kind of medicine the old lady uses?" Xue handed the medicine box to Mama Chang.
Seeing Sanniang frowning and looking over, Xue explained to Sanniang: "When Erniang came to greet me yesterday, she gave me such a box of medicine and said it was ...... said that when she was in the middle of the disease, a Taoist aunt from the traveling party gave it to her, which could cure all diseases and detoxify. Listen to her...... It seems that that the poison can also be cured. Xue was a little embarrassed, and the "kind of poison" she said was naturally the kind of poison that Aunt Cui gave to Wang Dong.
After Aunt Cui's incident, Wang Dong also secretly found someone to read the prescription, but several doctors said that the poison was very difficult to solve, and it could not be solved in a while, and it would take a lot of effort. Although Wang Dong didn't mention it in front of her, Xue also knew that Wang Dong still valued this matter.
At this time, Mama Chang had already read the "medicine" in the box: "Yes, it should be like this." Although I have never seen medicine, the old lady always takes it, and there are a few times when I go into the house to serve after she has used it, and I smell the smell of medicine, and there is nothing wrong with this. β
Mama Chang handed the medicine box back to Xue.
Sanniang frowned: "Mother, has my father used this medicine?" β
Xue shook his head when he heard this: "No, I remember that you said that if Erniang has anything strange about her words and deeds, you have to tell you, I ...... I knew that you would not say this easily, so I was a little uneasy, so I put the medicine aside. I wanted to show it to you yesterday, but I forgot it when I was busy yesterday. β
Sanniang has never said anything bad about people behind her back, but after the old lady and Erniang came a few days ago, Sanniang seriously told her such a thing, and the Xue family was more wary of Erniang.
Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, although she didn't treat Wang Dong very well, but she couldn't let Wang Dong have something happen now. (To be continued)
