Chapter 30: Refusal
"Mother, but the eldest sister is not going well in childbirth?"
The second wife nodded, and pulled the fourth young master in front of him to check whether his body was warm.
"I had a seizure last night, and I haven't replied to the letter until now, your aunt is in a hurry, and she has already sent someone to Wanping.
The fourth young master comforted: "Mother don't worry, Jiren has her own natural appearance, and the eldest sister will be fine." ”
The second master saw that he talked a lot today and was in better spirits, so he asked him what he had done that day.
The fourth young master pointed at Lin Shuang and said: "This is my new disciple, she is smart, the book I memorize, she will memorize it once you read it." ”
Lin Shuang can accompany the fourth young master to relieve his boredom, which is an unexpected joy, but the second master will recite this kind of thing after reading the book once, the second master doesn't believe it, how old Lin Shuang is, he can't speak clearly. The fourth young master asked Lin Shuang to recite the first chapter of the university to the second master.
Lin Shuang naturally couldn't behave too differently, her face turned red in a hurry, and she said to the fourth young master: "I don't remember it now." ”
The fourth young master was a little disappointed, but he immediately cheered up and encouraged her: "You are still young, when you are older, you will remember it a lot, and I will naturally remember it, and I used to be as easy to forget as you did." ”
The second master and the second wife glanced at each other, and they both felt that the fourth young master was different today, the whole person was cheerful, and he was no longer weak to speak, it seemed that it was really good to have a playmate.
After eating, the fourth young master asked the second master for teaching, and Gu's mother hugged Lin Shuang and went back to the room first. The second wife told Gu's mother: "...... Tomorrow, I have to get up early and go to Zhenrong Courtyard to say hello to my uncle and wife, don't oversleep. ”
Gu's mother agreed repeatedly, and went back to serve Lin Shuang early to sleep.
The fourth young master has just recovered from a serious illness, and Lin Shuang is still young, so he doesn't have to go to Zhenrong Courtyard to ask for peace on weekdays, but he still has to show up on the fifteenth day of the new year.
In the past few days, the weather has become colder, and the cold wind is steep in the morning, so that people's teeth are fighting, Gu's mother put on a thick cotton jacket for Lin Shuang, and followed the second master and the second wife to Zhenrong Courtyard.
Today, the uncle and the uncle got up early and didn't let everyone wait. The big house in the hall has arrived, and the eldest man and the eldest lady have a sad face, obviously not sleeping well last night.
The second master led the people in the lotus courtyard to greet the uncle and his wife, and the eldest lord and the eldest wife.
At this time, the third master's family also came, and there was a huge crowd of people, and the house suddenly became crowded.
After everyone sat down, Mrs. Bo beckoned to the fourth young master, the fourth young master walked over and sat next to Mrs. Bo, Mrs. Bo took his hand and looked at him carefully, and asked him carefully what he ate on weekdays, whether he slept well, and what he was doing in the past few days, and looked at Lin Shuang a few times, and said to the second wife: "The whole brother looks much better." ”
The second wife smiled and said, "Bodhisattva bless, I am finally willing to eat something these days." ”
Mrs. Bo beckoned Lin Shuang to come over again, reached out and pinched the back of her arm, and asked her, "Can you still live in Bofu?" ”
Lin Shuang replied in a loud voice: "I am used to living." ”
Mrs. Bo asked, "Can the girls serve with all their hearts?" ”
Lin Shuang let out a strong "um".
Mrs. Bo nodded, let her go back to the second wife, and said to the second wife: "When the weather is clear, go to the temple to return the wish, and add more sesame oil money." He turned his head and said to the eldest lady: "Don't worry, the Bodhisattva will bless Sister Tang, she is the second child, and she will be fine." ”
The eldest lady nodded absentmindedly and said, "When the city gate opens, if there is no news, I will go and see it in person, with me by my side, Tang'er can feel more at ease." ”
Mrs. Bo said: "Then you can pack it up, bring some nourishing medicinal materials, I have them in the warehouse, ask Gu's mother to bring them to you." ”
The eldest lady thanked Mrs. Bo, and the second and third wives also followed to comfort her.
After having breakfast in Zhenrong Courtyard, when she went out, the third lady deliberately walked a few steps quickly, side by side with the second wife, and said with joy: "I see that the fourth young master ate half a piece of bread today and drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge, which is much better than usual." ”
The second wife loves to listen to this, everyone said that the fourth young master was in good spirits, she was naturally happy, and said: "He still has to take care of this disease, but now that Lin Shuang is playing with him, he is not so lonely, and he is in a cheerful mood, I can eat more food these days, I am Amitabha Buddha grateful." ”
The third wife said: "It seems that this Qiu Immortal is a true spirit, but it's a pity that he is in prison now, otherwise the eldest sister will ......."
The eldest lady looked back at her and did not speak.
The third lady knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Wu Anhou's nephew, the wife of Zheng Yu, the commander of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division, asked me to ask the second sister-in-law for personal favors, her girl has not been good recently, and it is useless to see a lot of doctors, and I remember that the fourth grandmother is a heavenly pardon star, and I want to ask you for a piece of her personal belongings, which will be placed at the head of her girl's bed......"
Seeing that the second wife's face changed greatly, the third wife hurriedly stopped talking and explained anxiously: "I shouldn't have been involved in this matter, but Qiang Er has just arrived at Commander Zheng's subordinates on an errand, and I still need to rely on his care, since Mrs. Zheng has handed over the message, my sister and I have to come to discuss with the second sister-in-law." ”
When the Hanlan Courtyard where the eldest lady lived arrived, she stopped at the fork in the road and said to the third wife: "Don't be confused, how can the fourth grandmother's personal belongings be taken outside casually, not to mention that the fourth grandmother is neither a god nor a doctor, if you really take it, the child is not well, and the Zheng family should not resent you." If it happens to be good, others will ask for it in the future, will the second brother and sister give it or not? ”
The third lady hurriedly smiled: "What the eldest sister-in-law said is that I was confused, so I went back to Mrs. Zheng." ”
