Chapter Seventy-Two: Healing
Mengxi and Zhiqiu were a little dizzy along the way, and they had just been angry with the second master and Aunt Li, and they got lost unconsciously, and came to a courtyard in a daze, just wanted Zhiqiu to go up to find someone to ask where it was, and then heard the cry of a child in the courtyard, and was busy Zhiqiu went up to call the door, and heard a knock on the door, a little maid opened the door and poked her head out, and when she saw that it was the second grandmother and Zhiqiu, she hurriedly opened the door and knelt on the ground:
"The slave didn't know that the second grandmother was coming, and she didn't go out to greet her, please forgive the second grandmother, and the slave and maid kowtow to the second grandmother"
After the little maid finished speaking, she turned around and shouted at the door: "Mama Zhang, Mama Zhang, the second grandmother is here"
Mengxi ignored the little girl's shouts, just nodded her head to get her up, and walked in with Zhiqiu.
The maid and lady in the courtyard, I heard that it was the second grandmother who came, Hulala knelt on the ground, Mengxi and Zhiqiu entered the yard, only to find that this was the plum garden of the eldest aunt, looked at the maid and woman who knelt on the ground, nodded and asked them to get up and ask:
"Where's the eldest aunt?"
"Back to the second grandmother, the eldest aunt went to the account room, the monthly money in the house came down, and the account room notified the eldest aunt to check yesterday, and the eldest aunt went early in the morning."
Hearing the second grandmother ask about the eldest aunt, a mother-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and replied.
"I just heard the crying of a child in this yard outside, what's going on"
"Back to the second grandmother, it was the eldest lady who was sick yesterday, and she invited a doctor and prescribed medicine, but the eldest lady said that she didn't drink the medicine at all, saying that the medicine was too bitter, and the slave persuaded her, and the second grandmother came."
A mother-in-law led Xiao Chun, who was standing on the side, and said while asking the eldest lady to give her mother a salute.
"Chun'er asks her mother for peace, mother, the medicinal soup is too bitter, Chun'er can't drink it, but the nurse has to let Chun'er drink it, and Chun'er won't drink it when she dies."
Among the three daughters, Chun'er is close to her on weekdays, Mengxi stepped forward and stretched out her hand to pull Xiao Chun to take a look, only to see her face red, touching her head with her hand is a little hot, and then look at the black and slimy medicine held by the little maid next to the nurse, she frowned unconsciously, take her modern medical knowledge, Xiao Chun is also wind-hot cold, just eat some Yinqiao tablets, but this is ancient times, there are those sugar-coated pills, only this Chinese medicine soup that even she can't drink, as the saying goes, the heart of the doctor's parents, as a doctor in the previous life, and see Chun'er is well-behaved, how could Mengxi look at it, turned his head and said to the nurse:
"Since the eldest lady doesn't drink the medicine, let's pour it out, and the eldest lady will go back to the room with me first."
"The second grandmother can't help it, how can you not take medicine if you are sick, Chun'er is sick, the second master didn't go out for a while yesterday, he called the doctor in person, and ordered people to boil the medicine, let the old slave take good care of the medicine, and ask the second grandmother to be fulfilled"
Mengxi means to take the eldest lady to the East Chamber, she will give a treatment, who knows, this nurse is an ancient, admit death, how can there be a cure in this world without drinking medicine, the second grandmother actually ordered someone to pour the medicine, this Chun'er stopped the medicine, in case there is a good one, she can't afford it.
I think this second grandmother doesn't look down on this eldest lady, so she did it deliberately, since ancient times, there have been many things about the wife abusing the concubine's daughter behind her back, and the left and right are concubines, and her life is worthless, even if she is killed, what can she do, and think about how the second grandmother is rumored on weekdays, how can she not be afraid, she hurriedly moved out of the second master, knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, begging the second grandmother not to take the eldest lady away.
Listening to the nurse's first sentence, Mengxi suddenly remembered that this was in ancient times, she was a stepmother, it was better to avoid the suspicion of melons and plums, and she couldn't be a good person with a good heart in this cannibalistic mansion, and her daughter's business, as long as she could get by on face, she couldn't get by, especially how far this matter is, how far she goes, don't care about this rotten thing.
I was just about to give up, but I heard the words of the nurse, I was so angry in my heart, this nurse, I don't know how to live or die, looking at kneeling on the ground respectfully, but the words are not leaking, and there is a needle hidden in the cotton, I dare to use the iceberg to press her, she will not give him face in front of the minion, who is afraid of whom!
Chun'er is sick, but no one informs her of this genuine mother, obviously no one puts her in her eyes, this time she is allowed, next time not only the aunt, but even these minions have climbed on her head, and then look down at Chun'er's red fluttering face, leaning on her side affectionately, very cute, and too lazy to pay attention to the nurse kneeling on the ground, she is willing to kneel, so let her kneel, only ordered someone to find the eldest lady's clothes, and ordered a little maid to hug Xiao Chun, lead the way in front, and help Zhiqiu all the way back to Xiao Xiang Courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, Mengxi thought about it, and didn't take Xiao Chun to the east wing, that was her territory, and the young lady couldn't go, so she took Xiao Chun directly to the west house of the main house, and ordered Zhiqiu to get the prepared medicinal powder, brewed some sugar water, and coaxed Xiao Chun to drink it, because it was not bitter, and it was not said that it was medicine, only that it was sugar water, Xiao Chun drank it in one breath, and looked at his mother as if he was meritorious.
Mengxi looked at her cute little face and didn't feel funny, pinched her little nose, and said, "Do you want to eat dim sum?" ”
"Think, think, the dim sum made by my mother is so delicious, the second and third ladies also like to eat it, but my aunt doesn't allow us to ask my mother for it"
Xiao Chun said, blushing unconsciously and lowering his head.
"Chun'er's face is red because of the heat, right, Zhichun, go get some snacks"
Mengxi didn't feel even more funny when she saw Chun'er's blushing face, so she put her face on Chun'er's face, and said while laughing.
Chun'er saw this fairy-like mother for the first time, and she liked it, but every time she asked for peace, her mother sat there very majestically, so that she didn't dare to get close, and her aunt told her not to get too close to her mother every day, saying that her mother's heart was black, and she would secretly harm her, and she would not be allowed to eat what her mother made, saying that there would be poison in it, but the snacks made by her mother were really delicious, and she secretly ate it a few times when the nurse was not paying attention, but it was not poisoned, and this fairy-like mother would not harm her. It's not as bad as my aunt said, she really likes her in her heart, but she never dared to get close, today I saw my mother kissing her so much, and I didn't feel that I also pasted my little face up and got closer, for a while it was really a mother and a son, and she was happy, Mengxi saw that Chun'er had finished eating a snack, thinking that she had just taken medicine, which made her feverish and sweaty, and the disease was cured, so she coaxed her to chuang, lay down, and covered the quilt.
Sitting on the edge of the bed and seeing Chun'er looking at her with big round eyes, she just didn't sleep, Mengxi really couldn't help it, and suddenly remembered the fairy tales she had read in her previous life, so she said to Chun'er:
"Mother tells Chun'er a story, does Chun'er like to listen to it?"
"Chun'er loves to listen to stories the most, Chun'er is obedient, and her mother tells Chun'er"
Xiao Chun nodded desperately, as if he was afraid that his mother would regret it if he was late.
"Okay, Chun'er is obedient, close your eyes, mother will tell you a story, once upon a time, there was a big forest. The forest is inhabited by seven dwarfs and a Snow White......"
Chun'er closed her eyes, and Mengxi patted her while telling the story of Snow White.
