Chapter 6: Waiting for a concubine, it's hard to be
"Alright, go back to the house. It's cold these days, so pay more attention. ”
Yumei returned to the door and saw that her father was seriously ill, so she stayed in her father's room and took care of her for half a day, until Gu Yangling came to look for her in the evening. Although she was reluctant, she obediently followed Gu Yangling out, but unexpectedly, the two of them went out of the mansion, and when they were about to get into the carriage, Gu Yangling suddenly stopped and said to her.
She couldn't react for a moment, and only let out a single question: "Huh? ”
Gu Yangling smiled faintly, "Lord Yue-in-law needs your care, you ...... Let's stay for a few days. Seeing that Yumei was still hesitant, he said again: "You are a doctor, forgot?" ”
As soon as he asked, Yumei remembered the first time she saw him that day, and she said to him: "I am a doctor", and she seemed to be able to hear her voice clearly, but it seemed that it had happened in her previous life, and it had been too long.
Gu Yangling saw that she was still in a daze, thinking that she didn't want to talk to herself, and she didn't force it, "Then I'll pick you up in two days." With that, he turned over his horse and went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yumi looked at his distant figure, and then realized that he had given himself the privilege of staying at his mother's house to take care of his sick father.
What is this?
Gift?
Or is it a buy-in?
In the capital in late October, the cold wind was already raging.
But Yumei stubbornly stood in front of the door of the house, although her hands were red from the cold, she didn't listen to Xiaoyu's persuasion to go back to the house to hide, just looked into the distance, and didn't know what she was looking at.
After a long time, he suddenly murmured: "Why is it not snowing this day?" ”
Xiaoyu chimed in, "Yes, at this time in previous years, there have been several heavy snowfalls. ”
Yumei seemed to be talking to Xiaoyu, but it was more like talking to herself, "Yes, at this time of the year, it always snowed in the capital, and whenever the first snow fell, he would always come to me, take me to have a snowball fight together, and build a snowman." ”
At this time, Xiaoyu understood that what Miss said about him was the affectionate Fan Junwei, who was angry and distressed for a while, "Miss, why are you still thinking about that negative person, in Xiaoyu's view, Xiangye is much better than the one surnamed Fan!" ”
Yu Meimei seemed to hear her words, turned her head to look at her, and seemed to have heard nothing, and her eyes were empty.
"Let's go back."
After a long while, Yu Mei slowly turned around and led Xiaoyu to the back room. The two of them walked into the middle courtyard, and a cold snowflake fell, hitting Yumei's cheek, and then, another, another, the snowflakes fell all over the sky.
The first snow is coming.
The heavy snowfall came late, but it was very violent, and it fell all night without a moment's rest.
By the second day, the capital was already covered with three feet of snow, and no one went out. Therefore, when someone knocked on the door of Xinfu, the little guy who opened the door of Xinfu was very dissatisfied, and scolded and scolded: "What kind of person is this snowy day?" ”
When I looked at the door, I was startled and hurriedly went to ask Yumei.
Yu Mei was also slightly startled when she looked at the medicine box in front of her face, and the imperial doctor in official uniform knelt on the ground.
The chief physician surnamed Xiao, who was already gray, was full of flattery when he saw Yu Mei: "The lower officials and others came to consult Master Xin on the order of the prime minister." ”
Yu Mei was originally a medical girl, but in the end, she was young and unqualified, and she was worried about her father's serious illness, but unexpectedly, the best imperial doctor in the capital came to her, and she was very happy and hurriedly welcomed in.
Several people were busy for a long time, Fang opened a prescription, Yu Mei took a closer look, and praised again and again: "It's not a loss to be a famous imperial doctor in the capital, if you really have good medical skills, Yu Mei is here to thank you!" ”
Imperial Doctor Xiao was naturally proud when he was praised, but he still didn't forget to pat the horse: "Where and where, I have been studying medicine for decades, but some insights are not as clear as my wife, and my wife is a natural doctor!" At the end, I bowed and bowed, and begged: "I have come to the order of the prime minister, and I have done my best, and I ask my wife to help me wait for a good word or two." ”
Yumi nodded and sent a few people away.
Every day from then on, several people came and left on time, and they really did their best to serve their grandfather. Master Xin saw that he was getting better and was gradually improving.
After three days, the heavy snow stopped.
Gu Yangling came to Xinfu to pick up Yumei as promised, but he didn't know what to think, he actually made eight sedan chairs, Xin Yumei sat in a sedan chair, and Gu Yangling rode a horse, like marrying a family.
All of a sudden, it caused quite a stir.
Outside the Xin Mansion, there were many people around, wrapped in thick sweaters, and they opened their heads to see Yumei.
Yumei didn't like such a posture, and became more and more bored, holding her breath.
After the two entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, they finally couldn't bear it, "Is Xiangye's daily style always so exaggerated?" ”
Gu Yangling didn't know what she meant, so she replied truthfully: "Never." ”
This time, Yumei couldn't hold back her anger anymore, and scolded angrily: "So, is Xiangye deliberately teasing Xin Yumei?" ”
Gu Yangling realized that Yumei had misunderstood him and wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. So he stopped and instructed Xiaoyu: "Take the young lady back to the room to rest!" ”
Then he turned around and walked away.
As a result, Xin Yumei was thrown there, and she was stunned for a while.
This time back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yumei was arranged to live in a remote and secluded courtyard, and the small courtyard was called "Zijinju". Legend has it that it was originally the residence of Mrs. Tai, and since Mrs. Tai died three years ago, it has been deserted, except for the daily cleaning of the subordinates and the gardener, there is no one in and out, almost counted as an abandoned courtyard.
For Yumi, such a yard is just right.
She was taken by the subordinates, and smelled a burst of plum blossoms from a long distance, and when she entered the yard, she saw that it was a garden full of red plums, and in the snowy winter, it was especially as beautiful as a dream.
Xin Yumei is a medicine girl, and she is usually only interested in medicinal herbs, but when she sees such a beautiful scenery, she can't help but immerse herself in it.
Women love flowers, and it seems that there are no exceptions.
However, she stepped into the courtyard with one foot, and before she could break a sniff, the door of the other world quietly opened, and the big hand of fate gently pushed her, and she fell in.
"Mrs. Seventeen, Madame told you to go now."
A man with a hat almost followed her closely, stepping into the courtyard, and bowed his waist. The movements looked respectful, but the tone was quite contemptuous, and the voice was sharp no matter how you heard it.
Like a father-in-law.
Seeing that Yumei didn't move, he urged: "Mrs. Seventeen, Madame told you to go over immediately." He immediately bit the two of them very hard, as if threatening.
Waiting for a concubine has never been easy.
Yumei had expected that the days would not be relaxed, but since she entered the house, she waited for three days without any movement, thinking that she was wrong, but she didn't want to be biased when she finally looked forward to the day again.
She just wants to live in peace and quiet, and she doesn't want to conflict with anyone.
So he replied, "Please lead the way." ”
Yumei was taken to the compound of her wife's residence, but her father-in-law stopped her: "You wait here, let the old slave go and report." However, as soon as the father-in-law went, he went for an hour, and Yumi was thrown in the courtyard and blown by the cold wind for an hour.
Although she is young, she has been hit a lot recently, and her body has been damaged, so she can no longer support it and faints to the ground.
When she woke up again, she was in the house, and a woman with a good face and a dignified demeanor was looking at her.
Seeing her wake up, Yoyo said, "You're awake, okay?" The tone was cold, not even disguised.
Yumi was dizzy and couldn't tell who was coming for a while, but she just subconsciously shook her head.
Seeing her look at herself, the woman smiled contemptuously and said slowly, "We've seen it." ”
Yumei rubbed her temples, and a picture flashed, and then she remembered it and said in a low voice: "Are you ...... Mrs. Xiangye. ”
The corners of the woman's mouth hooked slightly, and she said, "It's me." Then she glanced at the door.
Yu Mei followed her gaze, and saw her father-in-law kneeling at the door, and when she saw the two of them looking at him, she hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded: "The slave is guilty!" The servant reported to Mrs. Seventeen, and when she saw that the princess was taking a nap, she did not dare to disturb her, so she took it upon herself not to report it, causing Mrs. Seventeen to stand in the snow so hard that she fainted. Please spare the life of the minions! ”
Princess?
Mrs. Gu Xiang turned out to be a princess!
Yumei didn't expect it, and she hadn't heard of it, but suddenly she knew, and in such a situation, she didn't know how to face it for a while.
Is it please? Or kneeling?
Just as she hesitated, the princess spoke.
"The bold slave dared to make his own claims, dragged it down, and cut off his ears!"
After that, a few subordinates entered and dragged the father-in-law down, and what puzzled Yumei was that the father-in-law not only did not ask to cry, but thanked him again and again: "Slave Xie Princess for not killing her!" ”
Where has Yumei seen this kind of battle, and in addition to being frightened, she is even more restless, and she is at a loss for a while.
When the minions all retreated, there was only a pot of fire left in the house, Mrs. Gu Xiang called someone to serve tea, and suddenly beckoned Yu Mei to sit, "You have suffered today, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body." ”
Yumei has not yet come back to her senses, all reactions are based on instinct, she sat up slightly straighter, answered: "Hmm", and picked up the teacup, but I don't know whether it was frozen or scared, and her hands couldn't stop shaking.
Mrs. held the teacup, her beautiful eyes glanced lightly, and while sniffing, she said, "You just entered the mansion, and you don't know many rules in the mansion yet." ”
Yu Mei hurriedly put down the cup, "Please also ask the princess for advice." She thought that she was respectful and courteous, but she didn't want her lady to seem to be bored even more, so she threw the cup on the table and said coldly: "The princess is the title of the old slave in my palace, and you are not my slave." ”
Then, the corners of her mouth hooked a trace of cruelty, "Remember that in this prime minister's mansion, you are a concubine, and you have to call me Mrs." ”
Yumei changed her words and said, "Yes, madam." ”
Seeing her so ingenious and obedient, the lady was not only dissatisfied, but even more disdainful, and hummed: "You are the same, you know how to grovel very well! ”
Yumei made up her mind to endure it to the end, so she forced a smile, "Madame taught me a lesson!" ”
Madame frowned, becoming more and more displeased, "Come on, that's it for today." With that, she raised her eyes and motioned to a grandmother beside her, and as soon as she clapped her hands, another grandmother walked in with a disc full of thick books.
"You entered the house a few days ago, there are many unruly behaviors, I read that you first entered the prime minister's mansion, and you don't know the rules, so I don't care about you, from today on, you will follow Aunt Deqin, so you can learn the rules of the house."
Yumi glanced at the thick plate of books, got up and saluted, "Yes." ”
This Aunt Qin followed her back to Zijinju.
