Chapter 26
When the old lady and her party came to the courtyard of the third room, as soon as they came in, they smelled a rushing smell of medicine, and everyone couldn't help frowning, especially the old lady, who was choked and coughed a few times, and Zhu Tao on the side hurriedly handed over the handkerchief.
When I went further inside, I entered the house, but I saw that the house was full of cups and plates, including vegetables spilled on the floor, and broken dishes.
Looking at the side again, the fifth girl, Ah Luo, was crying with red and swollen eyes, her hair was messy and her clothes were torn, Gu Song on the side stood there with a black face, and the third lady was crying with a handful of snot and tears.
"Old lady, you can come! Ah Yan is sick now, I was just going to serve her to take medicine and eat, so many medicines, she has to eat this little person, and she is suffering, but the fifth girl is here, there is a lot of trouble here, you see, what has become of this family, how to live this day!"
Gu Song came from the side, lowered his head, held it there, and did not speak.
Ah Yan cried from the warm pavilion and said: "Ancestor, eldest wife, eldest young grandmother, Aunt Guo is crazy, Ah Yan feels more uncomfortable than anyone else, but Aunt Guo blames Ah Yan, the fifth sister also hates Ah Yan, Ah Yan really doesn't want to live, anyway, this leg is also useless, if it goes on like this, Ah Yan won't take the medicine, so he will die in the mansion immediately!"
When Gu Song heard this, he looked as anxious as if he was in a hurry: "Ah Yan, what are you talking about! You are sick like this now, whoever doesn't let you take medicine will want your life, and my brother will go over and fight with her!"
The eldest young grandmother took Ah Luo's hand from the side and scolded the nurse on the side: "I usually see that you are also clever, why are you stupid at this time, the clothes and hair of the five girls are messed up like this here, and you people who are subordinates don't know how to serve well?"
was scolded by the young grandmother like this, and those wet nurses rushed forward to clean up for Arlo.
Here, the eldest and youngest grandmothers quietly gave the eldest lady a look, and the two of them came to the warm pavilion to see Ah Yan.
But I saw Ah Yan lying in the warm pavilion, looking haggard, sickly, crying like a tearful person.
When Ah Yan saw the eldest young grandmother and the eldest lady coming, she covered her lips and cried and said, "The eldest lady, the eldest young grandmother, Ah Yan's leg hurts so much, and Ah Yan is also afraid, will he not be able to walk in the future?"
Ah Yan was born extremely good-looking, with a white little melon seed face, big eyes like obsidian, and ruddy lips.
Now, this delicate little man is crying so much that she can't walk anymore.
Anyone who sees this scene has to be moved.
But the eldest lady couldn't like Ah Yan, and when she saw this at this time, she just said without pain: "The third girl will be well recuperated, and it will naturally be fine." I heard that today you also invited Dr. Hu to come over, didn't you prescribe a lot of medicine?"
The eldest young grandmother spoke better than the eldest lady, and she said gently: "Ah Yan, don't cry, your legs will definitely be fine." ”
But Ah Yan didn't listen to persuasion, still crying, and said aggrievedly: "Grandma Da Shao, you see that my legs have become like this, but the fifth sister wants to frame me, saying that I hurt Aunt Guo......"
Seeing this, the eldest young grandmother had no choice but to persuade: "Ah Yan, don't think too much, the fifth girl is not sensible, and Aunt Guo's affairs have nothing to do with you." ”
As soon as she spoke, the eldest lady over there glanced at her.
The young grandmother couldn't, so she had to pretend she didn't know.
When the old lady over there heard this, she had no choice but to nod: "Take the five girls out, lock them up, and don't let her out of this house today!
When she said this, she frowned and asked the third wife, "How much medicine have you decocted here, and why does it smell so bad? ”
The third lady hurriedly replied: "It's just because Imperial Doctor Hu said that Ah Yan's leg is seriously injured, and some medicines that need to be applied externally and taken internally are prescribed. ”
The old lady did not speak, but nodded.
So the group left with the five girls Ah Luohao.
These five girls made such a scene, and they didn't get any cheap, and when the old lady and others came, she was too young to make trouble, so she had to reluctantly glared at the third wife, and then followed the adults.
After this incident, I heard the news from the little maids below, saying that the fifth girl was grounded for three days, and after being grounded, she moved directly to the eldest lady's room.
As for Aunt Guo, she was put on the Zhuangzi outside, and I am afraid that she will never come back in the future.
After Ah Yan faced Aunt Guo, it could be regarded as a small victory, although she wondered why this Aunt Guo was so funny and crazy, she also remembered the Nine Emperor Princes she saw that night.
If she thinks about it, she is afraid, and she doesn't dare to think about it, since everything is good, then let it be like this.
As for the third wife, since this incident, her mind has also begun to liven up. Under Ah Yan's suggestion, she began to slowly discuss countermeasures with Wang Ruifang's family.
Wang Ruifang's family sees this matter quite clearly.
"Our three girls have been punished for kneeling all night, madam, look at which family bully the girls in the family so much? Although we are the girls of the concubine, it is also the blood of the Jingguo Mansion. Look at other families, which one doesn't treat the girl from the concubine as a treasure?"
The girls of the big family, all of them are born like flowers and jade, they are easy to give birth to and upbring, and they will be able to make more connections when they get married in the future. This truth, even she, a servant woman, understands it, but now the wife of the head of the Jingguo Mansion is confused, but she just doesn't understand this truth.
The third wife listened to Wang Ruifang's reasoning, and asked for advice on what to do.
Wang Ruifang looked at no one on the left and right, and then lowered his voice and said: "Madam, let me tell you, I heard my family Ruifang say this, in fact, the little maids and servants in our house, which of those broken mouths don't know! In my opinion, it is better to use a few taels of silver to make people talk about this matter from beginning to end. Everyone outside knows that the Jingguo Mansion treats us three rooms harshly, and something will happen in the future, so let's talk about it!"
The third lady suddenly heard this, and nodded again and again: "This should have been the reason in the first place." ”
immediately asked Wang Ruifang's family to support a hundred taels of silver, and ordered her to go out and do this with Wang Ruifang.
As for how she uses the money, she doesn't care, as long as she gets things done, she can keep the rest of the money to subsidize the family.
Wang Ruifang's is useful in front of the third wife, knowing that the third wife is generous, but this time she was so generous, but she never thought of it, and she was also moved at the moment, so she said loudly that she must do this well.
To say that Wang Ruifang and his family are also old-fashioned, so within three days, rumors began to circulate in Yanjing City that the Jingguo Mansion treated the widow of the third room harshly.
The old lady in charge bullies the widow who is guarding hard, and wants other people's dowry, which is really despised no matter how you say it.
But everyone knows that the Jingguo Mansion is now an empty shelf, and there is more money in the mansion, and there is no silver, so they are more and more convinced of this matter.
All of a sudden, the reputation of the Jingguo Mansion was defeated, and when he went out to make incense, others knew that this was the sedan chair of the Jingguo Mansion, and they had to point it out.
For such a result, Ah Yan is very satisfied. No matter what happens in the future, first spread the reputation of this Jingguo Mansion for bullying widows and widows, and it will be easier to do things in the future.
Because of these rumors outside, the old lady in the house is afraid of falling into her mouth, and she hasn't embarrassed the third lady anymore in the past few days, but her words are always quite cold.
Ah Yan has nothing to do in the past few days, so he followed Xiqing embroidery in the warm pavilion, and talked to the third wife every time, knowing that now the young master Ah Yi will come to Yanjing in a few days.
When Ah Yan heard this, he was a little expectant, thinking about the huge dowry in his mother's hands now, if he put it there, whether he would sit and eat empty, or follow his cousin to see what he could do and secretly take it out and do it, so that he could also plan for the future.
In addition, Ah Yan has been talking to his brother for the past few days, and he can see that his brother is not the material for studying, and he thinks that his brother in the previous life is always not good at trading, and he has lost money several times.
In this way, Ah Yan has an idea in his heart, hoping that this cousin Ah Yi can find a martial artist for his brother outside, so that he can follow and learn, maybe he can actually embark on this road in the future.
You must know that the border pass is not peaceful now, King Ning has been sent out by the emperor to garrison, and in another three or four years, even the ten-year-old Nine Emperors will be taken out to practice.
Four years later, my brother Gu Song is also seventeen years old, and he will be older when he sees it, if he can learn martial arts and follow the Nine Emperor Princes to the border pass, how can he come back with a wealth and wealth.
In the future, even if these four sisters become imperial concubines, and have the love of their brother Gu Song who accompanied the Nine Emperor Princes to the border gates, their three rooms will not be too bleak.
In the past few days, Sister-in-law Liu's daughter Qiaoyun has come to the third room to be a maid, and she takes one or two silver a month. Because of this, Sister-in-law Liu is naturally grateful to Sanfang.
Although this sister-in-law Liu is just an inconspicuous rough servant in the ancestor's house, in the end, she still has to be wooed by the ancestor's house.
This night, Ah Yan thought about these in his heart, and under Xiqing's service, he came to the warm pavilion to lie down and rest. Maybe because she was thinking too much today, she was also tired, and she fell asleep in a daze after a while.
In the haze, it seemed that someone came to her bedside and fed her a medicinal smell that exuded a strange fragrance.
She was startled, and suddenly remembered what happened in the ancestral hall that day, and opened her eyes suddenly.
In front of me, there was a boy sitting in front of him, like a little man on a New Year's painting.
The person in front of him is none other than the Nine Emperor Princes.
The Nine Emperors didn't expect Ah Yan to wake up, and when he saw her staring at him with big watery eyes, he raised his hand and patted Ah Yan's cheek gently.
"Don't be afraid...... I'll protect you this time. ”
Ah Yan's mouth moved, and he muttered for a while before he spit out a sentence: "What kind of dream am I doing?"
When the Nine Emperor Princes heard this, they showed a faint smile.
He was originally born handsome, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, but he was too cold, which made people feel cold in high places. Now he is smiling like this, like spring flowers blooming, and the warm sun is coming, which is pleasing to the eye.
He raised his hand and patted Ah Yan's head: "You go back to sleep." When you fall asleep, you don't dream. ”
Ah Yan's beautiful and confused eyes widened: "Yes, yes!"
At this time, a strong sleepiness struck, and she looked at the Nine Emperor Princes in a daze, but felt that the Nine Emperor Princes' eyes were so gentle, gentle with a little sadness.
It's like a sigh falling into a dream.
Under this gentle gaze, she gradually fought with her upper and lower eyelids, and she really fell asleep......
