Chapter 42: Disfigurement
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
Xue Su and Liu Yiqing and Hu Mingyue were handkerchiefs, and Hu Mingyue's obesity was completely cured, and Mrs. Hu sent someone to take her daughter back to the capital to discuss marriage, presumably she could not return to Jingyang easily.
On this day, Liu Yiqing came to Yan Ruyu, and as soon as she walked into the main hall, the woman's delicate face showed a little annoyance, and said:
"Tell me what's so good about that snow lotion? So many people spent money to buy the bath soup back, could it be that if their faces are a little whiter, they can find Ruyi Langjun? โ
Probably because she has been venting a lot recently, Xue Su didn't feel impatient in her heart, she even calmly instructed Qiu Ju to let the little maid bring two bowls of stewed smooth and delicious peach gum, and slowly stir the milky milk soup with a small spoon.
"Snow lotion is really not a good thing, we don't need it ourselves, and as for other people, we can't care so much."
Taking a sip of the sweet soup, Xue Su calculated the time in his heart and found that Xuefulu had been sold in Jingyang for almost a month, and the formula was filled with extremely heavy lead powder, and it was estimated that it was time to show side effects.
Liu Yiqing couldn't help frowning, "What's wrong with Snow Dew?" I remember that Miss Wang of the silk dealer bought a lot, and I heard that she used it every day to take a bath, and I saw her once when I went out just now, and it was indeed a lot whiter. โ
Jingyang is located in the north, the climate is not more humid than the south, and the wind and sand are also larger, so there are not many women with fair and even skin.
The big Yu Dynasty regards white as beauty, and many people try their best to do everything they can, just for the sake of being white.
Holding a porcelain spoon in her hand, Xue Suxing's eyes were watery, and she smiled, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that lead powder is added to the bath soup, and it is white when used often, but it will make the skin red, swollen and ulcerate, just like having a bad sore......"
Thinking of the leprosy that was full of sores on her face and bleeding yellow pus after swelling, Liu Yiqing couldn't help but shudder, and ate several mouthfuls of peach gum before she suppressed the nausea in her chest.
She glanced at the woman sitting beside her, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
When she first met Xue Su, Liu Yiqing only felt that this woman had delicate appearance and delicate facial features, not like a grizzled village woman, and now it has only been a long time, she is like a different person, her skin and flesh are like fine porcelain, she can't find the slightest flaw, her black hair is rich and soft, her red lips are delicate, and she is slightly swollen, as if she has been loved fiercely.
If he were a man, he would definitely push such a delicate child on the kang...... Liu Yiqing's face was expressionless.
"By the way, Mingyue sent a letter over, she said that the private houses in the capital are not as good as your Yan Ruyu, and she may not be able to go to the feet of the Son of Heaven to do business in the future, where there are many dignitaries and dignitaries, and there are countless people with plenty of money......"
In her previous life, Xue Su only went to the capital once, but she was blinded by Ronghua and Fugui at that time, thinking that Mrs. Zhuangyuan was good, so she went directly to Zhuangyuan's mansion, but she didn't think that she was driven out by a slave who looked down on people with dog eyes, and finally lost her life.
"Although the capital is prosperous, business is not easy to do, and I have to discuss this matter with my husband, and I don't know if he will agree."
Liu Yiqing nodded, "Entering Beijing is indeed a big deal, and it's not something we can call the shots ourselves." โ
Hearing this, Xue Su looked at Liu Yiqing, and suddenly asked, "Why do you look so shuffled today, are you being taught a lesson by Mrs. Liu?" โ
"How old am I, how can I be taught by my mother? Recently, a distant cousin came to propose, their family lives in the capital, I heard that the person is good, I am afraid that I will enter Beijing in a few days, so I want to bring you over, and then the three of us can get together again. โ
Liu Yiqing is only a little younger than Xue Su, if she hadn't been delayed by her size before, maybe she would have married and had children a long time ago.
"I didn't expect you and Mingyue to leave Jingyang, let me think about it carefully......"
Staying in the private restaurant for dinner at noon, Liu Yiqing was full of praise for Zheng's cooking skills, and sat for a while, when suddenly Liansheng trotted in, "Auntie, uncle is back." โ
"Since the person is back, I guess Su Niang doesn't have time to chat with me, so in order not to annoy people, it's better to go back first."
Xue Su scolded with a smile and ordered Chunlan to send Liu Yiqing out, but before she could stand up from the round stool, Chu Qinghe suddenly pushed the door and walked in.
Speaking of which, this person is just an ordinary hunter, even if he joined the army in the early years, he didn't make much splash, otherwise how could he live such a poor life in Anning Village?
But somehow, looking at the man's bottomless eagle eyes, Xue Su suddenly felt that he was intimidating, even if he became a cripple, he was still different from the ordinary people.
There were only husband and wife in the house, Xue Su couldn't help but think of the scene of Meng Lang last night, his ears turned a little red, and said, "Jingyang is too small, I'm thinking about opening a private museum to the capital, what do you think?" โ
The thick black and heroic sword eyebrows furrowed tightly, Chu Qinghe's face was tense, and he slowly removed the bowstring.
Back then, he was assassinated by his lieutenant general, fell off his horse, ended up blind and lame, and could no longer lead troops to fight, the emperor wanted to leave him in the capital in order not to chill the heroes, but Chu Qinghe refused.
If you go back suddenly, you must be unable to sit still with those ghosts hiding in the shadows, right?
Seeing that Chu Qinghe was silent, Xue Su didn't know the bottom of his heart, and pressed the corner of the table with his little hand and asked:
"You don't want to go?"
Although he couldn't see the woman's expression, just listening to her voice, Chu Qinghe could tell the strong expectation in it, after all, Jingyang was too small, if it weren't for staying away from those conspiracies and disputes, he wouldn't have stayed here.
"The snowy road is difficult to walk, wait until the beginning of spring next year, and the move is a big deal, and you can't rush it."
Taoxin's little face was full of smiles, Xue Su was so happy, she was a layman in her bones, yearning for the prosperity and liveliness of the capital, begging in the city in her previous life, seeing it for a few days, her heart was like a weed, and she couldn't wait to put on her wings and fly to the imperial city.
The thin white lotus arm wrapped around the man's strong neck, and the red lips kissed him the face a few times, his cheeks were red and hot, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he couldn't stop smirking.
Hearing the crisp laughter in his ears, Chu Qinghe's heart warmed, his big palm wrapped around the woman's waist, and with a little force, he hugged the person on his lap, and the kiss that was as dense as raindrops fell on his forehead and cheeks, and finally fit tightly with the ruddy lip flap.
------
Wei's house, backyard.
Recently, I don't know what's going on, Wei Yuying has slept a little unsteadily, and she always feels itchy at night, as if there are insects gnawing.
It's just freezing cold, and there is no trace of insects in the house.
I often hear the young lady's complaining voice, and Xiangdie still thinks it's a little strange.
Early this morning, Wei Yuying hadn't gotten up yet, and suddenly felt a terrible itch on her face, she couldn't help but reach out and scratch it, but felt a little relieved.
In addition to the cheeks, the back, arms, thighs, waist and abdomen, all of them are a little itchy, the woman's eyes are closed, slightly sharp nails are brushed indiscriminately on the body, blood marks appear on the flesh and skin, and in some places even broken skin, she sees blood, but she doesn't notice it.
After a while, Xiangdie came into the house with a copper basin, wanting to wait for the young lady to wash up as usual.
As soon as she walked to the bedside, she saw the woman's festering and swollen face, and she immediately screamed in fright.
The copper basin in his hand fell, making a loud bang, hot water spilled all over the ground, and Xiangdie shouted loudly, "Come on!" Ghosts! โ
There was such a big commotion, and the maid who was guarding the courtyard was afraid that something would happen to her young lady, so she rushed in.
Wei Yuying is not dead, frowning, opening her eyes, there is irrepressible anger hidden in her voice, "It's early in the morning, what are you screaming?" โ
Xiangdie also heard her young lady's voice at this moment, and the horror on her face became more and more intense, and she stretched out her hand to point at her.
"Miss, your face ......"
Taking the maid's expression into her eyes, Wei Yuying chuckled in her heart, and suddenly had an ominous premonition, she didn't even care about wearing embroidered shoes, got out of bed quickly, and walked to the makeup box in a few steps.
When she saw the bloody face in the bronze mirror, she took a few steps back, and her whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, without a trace of heat on her body.
No!
The person in the mirror can't be her, she has been using snow lotion recently, and her skin has become white and tender, how can there be so many pustules, and they are all scratched?
With a beastly roar in her throat, Wei Yuying looked down at the bloodshot remaining between her fingernails, and slowly slid down her body against the wall, tears crackling down.
Xiangdie swallowed her saliva, pinched her cold and numb fingertips, and asked with fear, "Why don't you go and ask for a doctor?" Always have to be diagnosed and treated first. "Otherwise, it's a lifetime affair with a scar.
She didn't dare to say the last sentence, but even if Xiangdie didn't say it, Wei Yuying could think of it.
Now the woman's eyes bulged out, her eyes were bloodshot, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Go and bring people!" Just go! โ
There is such a big commotion in the yard, it must not be hidden.
Before the doctor could come, Mrs. Wei and Wei Yuying's three sisters-in-law all entered the master bedroom.
When she saw her daughter's festering and suppurating face, Mrs. Wei's eyes rolled and she almost didn't faint directly, but fortunately, the grandmother behind her helped her, so she didn't fall out.
As a mother, even though her daughter's face has been ruined for the most part, she loves her daughter so much that she can't be afraid at all, she rushed forward crying, holding Wei Yuying's hand, and asked with tears:
"Yuying, talk to your mother, what's going on?"
Seeing this, the three sisters-in-law who followed over were all standing at the door as if they had roots, and they all stood at the door and did not dare to approach, after all, if this strange disease was contagious, they might also be infected with the disease.
Obviously, my sister-in-law went to greet her in-laws yesterday, and her cheeks looked fine at that time, and there was no problem, why did she become this hideous like a ghost after a night?
