Chapter 20: Causes
Lu Xueyi rubbed her nose, people with colds are always uncomfortable, she always wants to hit people at this time, well, definitely not because of these three people in front of her!
Liu Qingqing's face changed, and she recovered again, "Ling'er, you have a heart, but some people don't know how to cherish no matter how good things are, so why take them to her to spoil them?" What your mother gave you is yours, and you can take it with peace of mind. ”
Well, that's me?! Lu Xueyi yawned and was bored.
"Well, Ling'er knows."
Finally escaped from Liu Qingqing, Lu Xueyi was uncomfortable, and immediately walked towards her courtyard, Mingzhu behind her was holding a book in her hand, her face was secretly anxious, so she returned to the courtyard and sent the maid to Songtang.
In the bamboo garden, the breeze was blowing, Xie Qi asked Mozhu to move a chair, sat under the big tree by himself, and looked at the book in one hand, while Mozhu was returning to him every move in the capital.
"There is quite a quiet relationship between the princes, and even the harem has stopped competing for favor, and now the court situation is still stable."
Xie Qi nodded, indicating that he understood.
The sound of slight footsteps sounded, Xie Qi's eyebrows didn't move, his white jade-like warm and flawless fingers twisted up a page of paper and turned it open, but Mo Zhu on the side looked embarrassed, "Master, the second girl of the Lu family is here again." ”
Since the day the master refused the approach of the second girl, for five consecutive days, the second girl of the Lu family couldn't help but come over, today is not to discuss books, tomorrow is to send pastries, no matter how bad it is, what kind of picture scroll, in short, in short, it is to come over once a day.
The master, as always, spit out two words: "Drive away." ”
It's just that he pities him, on the one hand, he has to deal with the stinky face of the master, and on the other hand, he has to deal with this delicate beauty, after all, they live in the Lu Mansion now, no matter how these two girls say it, they are also the masters of the Lu Mansion, and it is not good to tear their faces.
"Mozhu guard, your son-in-law is always here today, right?" Lu Xueling raised a smiling face, mouthed Nunu in the courtyard, and said in a coquettish voice.
The master was in the courtyard today, and he saw a figure at a glance, if he was lying and saying that he was not there, wouldn't it be that there were no three hundred taels of silver here?
"Second girl, the master is unwell today, and he doesn't see outsiders, so the second girl should go back." Mo Zhu's tall body blocked the door of the courtyard and replied in a muffled voice.
"Not feeling well? Childe is sick? Lu Xueling frowned, "Have you asked the doctor to take a look?" Is Dr. Xiao here? ”
Mo Zhu felt that he had a burning gaze behind him, and glanced at him casually, he coughed slightly uncomfortably, "Don't worry about the second girl, the son has already taken the medicine, it's no big deal, it's just that he is infected with the wind cold, in order to prevent the infection to the second girl, the second girl should go back first."
If he doesn't come back, he will be shot into a sieve by the sight of his master.
"That's right." Lu Xueling's voice was full of loss, "Then the Mozhu guard, you will take care of Gongzi Xie, and when Gongzi is better, Xueling will come to visit again." ”
After saying that, he gave a blessing and left with a dignified lady's appearance.
As soon as Lu Xueling left, Mo Zhu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, turned around resignedly, and knelt down on one knee towards his master after taking a few steps, "Master, my subordinates know their mistakes." ”
Xie Qi glanced at him twice, pretending to be casual and opened his mouth, "Why didn't you see that fat girl coming over today?" ”
Qu Yuan was dissatisfied after checking Lu Xueyi's method of spitting again a few days ago, so he proposed to let Lu Xueyi stay in the bamboo garden every morning to practice, and also let Xie Qi take care of it, so Lu Xueyi would come to the bamboo garden every day.
Mo Zhu raised his head in surprise, and then lowered it again, his heart turned around, how could the master remember to ask the eldest girl? Didn't you be extremely cold to people a few days ago?
But he didn't dare to say these words, at most he walked in his heart and was kicked out.
"Back to the master, I heard that the eldest girl got up early this morning and found that she was infected with a cold, so she must have been delayed because of this." Mozhu replied with a combination of words.
"Sick?" Xie Qi's expression changed imperceptibly for a moment.
"Yes."
Lu Xue, who was staying in her courtyard room, sneezed suddenly, and Mingzhu on the side hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and looked at the eldest girl of the Lu family on the bed with a worried face.
"Who's talking about me again? Don't you see I'm sick? Lu Xueyi said angrily wrapped in a quilt, her voice urning.
"Miss, the medicine is ready." Mingyue lifted the beaded curtain and walked eagerly to the bed.
Lu Xueyi glanced at the boiled black Chinese medicine, and a strong smell of Chinese medicine came to her nose, and she just wanted to roll her eyes and faint at this time.
But Lu Xueyi still didn't have the courage to faint, because there was also Mrs. Lu who came in with Mingyue.
"Yi'er, you said you ...... What's going on? How has my Yi'er been sinned? After speaking, he glared angrily, looking at Mingzhu Mingyue and the little maid on the side.
"Mingyue, you were cleaning in the outer courtyard, but Yi'er took pity on you, so she begged me to say that you served me well and asked me to transfer you back, but what happened? That's how you repay Miss? ”
Mingyue involuntarily shrunk her shoulders under the majesty of the old lady, and the medicine in the bowl spilled some of it.
"And you, Mingzhu." Mingzhu immediately knelt down, not daring to raise his head or to argue.
"It's in vain that you've been by my side for so long, I thought you were a steady person, so I sent you to Yi'er's side to serve, but what about you? Is that how you repay my trust? ”
When he said the last sentence, he raised his voice.
Mama Qiulian, who was serving the old lady on the side, immediately relieved: "The old lady is angry, dissipated, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry with these slaves." ”
Lu Xueyi also hurriedly saw the stitches, "Grandmother, it's Yi'er who is not good, it must be the root of the disease left by falling into the water a few days ago, and she caught a cold as soon as the wind blew, don't blame them." ”
When the old lady looked at her granddaughter, she was kind and kind, and her love was immediately revealed, "Yi'er, how are you feeling now?" ”
"It's okay, I just feel cold and panicked."
At this time, it was summer, the environment was not polluted in ancient times, and it was not as hot as in modern times, but it was also summer, but Lu Xueyi, who was wrapped in a quilt, still felt cold and panicked.
"Old lady, Miss, this is the root of the disease, plus the heat enters the body, it shouldn't be a big problem, don't worry too much."
"Yes, grandmother, Dr. Xiao has already come to see it, and Mingyue has already boiled the medicine, so don't worry, otherwise your granddaughter will not be upset."
"Grandmother is hoping that you are okay, you are okay, in that case, hurry up and drink the medicine!" After speaking, a pair of hands with traces of time went to take the medicine bowl in Mingyue's hand.
Lu Xueyi bit her tongue, wishing that she had never spoken, thinking that she would secretly pour out the medicine after the person ran out, but she didn't think that she would confess herself.
"You, you don't like to take medicine from the bottom, grandmother is afraid that you will secretly pour out this medicine, this is not good, it is a bad habit to avoid medical treatment, grandma watched you drink it."
The corners of Lu Xueyi's mouth twitched, her eyes closed, and she heroically took the medicine bowl and leaned back.
Mingzhu on the side immediately handed over the candied fruit, and the sweetness of the candied fruit expelled the bitterness of the medicinal juice.
"Grandmother, my granddaughter has finished drinking the medicine, are you relieved?"
"It's good to drink the medicine, by the way, then you have a good rest, and the most important thing is to take care of your body."
Lu Xueyi's eyes rolled, and an idea sprouted in her heart, so she pretended to be distressed and said: "Grandmother, granddaughter still has something to do, and she must rest when her granddaughter is done." ”
Old Madam Lu's eyes widened, "What is important to you?" The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body and put the rest aside. ”
"But...... Hey, grandmother, I won't tell you that my granddaughter has made her mother angry, and her mother has punished her daughter for copying the "Female Commandment" a hundred times, and the granddaughter will not dare to ignore her mother's instructions, and when her granddaughter finishes copying, she will go to rest, grandmother can rest assured. After speaking, he glanced at Mingzhu.
Mingzhu and Lu Xueyi got along for a while, and they had a certain tacit understanding, and immediately said with a bitter face: "The old lady doesn't know, Miss just went late today because of physical discomfort, and she didn't make any big mistakes, somehow, Mrs. didn't insist on punishing Miss, Miss was filial, so she responded, but when she returned to the room, her body was even more serious, and I was afraid that this copying of books was ......."
Old Madam Lu's face became even more ugly, "What are these words?" Do you want Yi'er to drag her body to receive her punishment? Yi'er, don't worry, what grandmother said is not as effective as hers? Rest for your mother. ”
"This ...... Well, thanks grandmother. Lu Xueyi said with an embarrassed face.
Mrs. Lu nodded with satisfaction and left.
As soon as Mrs. Lu left, Lu Xueyi hurriedly sat up straight, "Mingzhu, you are doing well." ”
Mingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, since she was called by the old lady to serve the eldest lady in the past few days, she felt more and more that the eldest lady was approachable, and her temperament was completely different from the past, so it can be seen that falling into the water is not completely bad.
"Slave Miss Xie praises."
After speaking, he furrowed his brows again, "Miss, although the old lady gave an order, this "Female Commandment" does not need to be copied for the time being, but why would the lady order to punish you today?" If you don't open your heart knot with Madame, I'm afraid that Madame will use the topic to target you in the future, and you can't expect to have the support of the old lady every time. ”
Lu Xueyi nodded, she naturally knew this reason.
"Mingzhu, I asked you to look at Aunt Xia, is there any movement on her side?" Coughing slightly, Lu Xueyi raised her head and asked.
Mingzhu shook her head, looking uneasy.
She sent a little maid to observe Aunt Xia's whereabouts, but coincidentally, Aunt Xia didn't do anything other than run to the eldest lady more diligently.
Wrong! Something is not right today!
Lu Xueyi looked at Mingzhu's expression and became solemn.
Did she miss something?
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, "Mingzhu, you immediately help me inquire about what Lu Xueling has done in recent days, and I have to inquire about everything clearly." ”
Mingzhu saw Lu Mingzhu's solemn expression, and hurriedly said yes and left.
