Chapter 108: The Present Is Not the Same (Part II)
Chapter 108 is not what it used to be (II)
Chapter 108 is not what it used to be (II).
When Mrs. Xue heard this, where could she still sit still, she stood up suddenly, her eyes widened, and she asked the maid eagerly, "What's wrong with Brother Run?" ”
The maid said: "I don't know, just now Man'er in the third master's room came over, I went out, and when I came back, Man'er was gone, I went to see the little young master, the little young master was hot and scary, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed." ”
Old Madam Xue heard this, "This is worth it." ”
Xue Qian's face also changed.
Old Madam Xue said, "Go and have a look." As he spoke, he took the people in the room and went to Mrs. Xue's room.
Old Madam Xue walked on the front foot, Xue Qian was busy stepping forward to help, Mrs. Xue, the third wife, and the fourth wife all followed, Rong Hua saw that the second wife had a different expression, and the maid who came to report just now also lowered her head and waited in place, thinking slightly in her heart, and walked in front with Xue Mingrui.
Everyone walked away a little distance before the maid walked to the second wife's side.
The second wife asked, "How is it?" ”
This maid is Long Zhen in the house of the eldest grandmother Xue Qian, who has been serving by Brother Run's side, Long Zhen's face has long turned white at this moment, her hands are clenched and trembling slightly, and she stepped forward and replied: "The slave has only been out for a while, and I don't know why something like this happened." ”
Second Mrs. Xue asked again, "What about Man'er?" ”
Long Zhen said: "I really don't know where I went." ”
Second Mrs. Xue nodded slightly, with a smile on her face.
Old Madam Xue entered the house, hurriedly walked to Brother Run's bed, stretched out her hand to test Brother Run's body temperature, and couldn't help but be anxious, "Did you call Langzhong?" Why didn't I see it for a few days, but I became sick like this? ”
Qian hurriedly said: "It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable and it will be fine in a few days, who knows that this disease will suddenly get bigger." ”
Old Madam Xue saw that Brother Run's face was burning red, and she couldn't help but feel distracted in the 55ab community, "I see that you think I'm old and useless, so you deliberately hide it from me." ”
Qian Shi panicked when he heard this, for fear of being blamed by the old lady, so he hurriedly defended, "It's really not, the old lady is wrong to blame me." As he spoke, tears flowed.
The third lady looked at Qian's appearance and immediately curled her lips, with a look of disdain, and when she saw Rong Hua beside her, she turned her head and smiled meaningfully at Rong Hua.
Rong Hua stood aside silently, just now the maid came in to tell and mentioned a person named Man'er, she remembered clearly, the last time Xue Mansion had a banquet, she accidentally heard the conversation between Mrs. Xue and Xue San, Xue San mentioned a girl named Man'er, and she was very concerned in her words, saying that she wanted to carry Man'er as an aunt.
Second Mrs. Xue promised her son at that time, and Man'er's affairs would wait until he married his wife.
The rules of the Xue family are there, it is impossible to take a concubine before marrying a wife, and what the second wife Xue said at the time was also reasonable, but today's maid's words were: Man'er from the third master's room came over just now, and I went out, and Man'er was not there when I came back.
eagerly replied to the little master's affairs, but Man'er took up a lot of space.
Rong Hua looked at Brother Run, who was on the bed, she didn't stand in the front, but she wasn't far away, and when she looked carefully, there seemed to be a few small blisters on Brother Run's red face. In this room, the men don't care about these trivial things, the women have their own thoughts, and the old lady has a bad look when she is old.
Old Madam Xue was so anxious that she only cared about calling Brother Run's name, and the rest of the people were also in a mess, and Qian was crying on the side, which made the old lady even more anxious, and she had a seizure at Qian, "What are you crying about, don't you go to see why Lang Zhong hasn't come over yet." ”
Qian was stunned when he was scolded, and the aggrieved ant group choked up for the first time, and hurriedly went down to arrange.
Rong Hua gently tugged at Xue Mingrui's sleeve, Xue Mingrui looked down, and Rong Hua whispered: "The concubine had acne when she was a child, and the Hou Ye looked at whether Brother Run had acne." ”
Although Rong Hua's expression was hesitant, there was a bit of confidence in his bright eyes.
Xue Mingrui took a few steps forward to see clearly, and then told the old lady again.
The old lady came to her senses at this time, and looked carefully, Brother Run's face seemed to have a few water scars that had just bulged, and his eyes seemed to be none, so he frowned, hurriedly turned his head and looked around, saw Rong Hua, raised his hand and called her over, "Second granddaughter-in-law, come here." ”
Rong Hua walked to Brother Run's bedside.
The old lady said, "Second granddaughter-in-law, you can help me see if Brother Run's face has acne on his face." ”
Rong Hua nodded and looked over, she didn't misunderstand Brother Run's face just now, but there was a pimple, and then she reached out to touch Brother Run's forehead, it was not particularly hot, it can be seen that the maid just now was exaggerating.
Besides, the child is still young, but he is three or four years old, and his body is already uncomfortable, and the old lady is very light, and it is normal for the child to be reluctant to open his eyes.
Rong Hua comforted the old lady and said, "Don't worry, old lady, you will know when Lang Zhong comes in a while." ”
When the old lady saw Rong Hua's appearance, she couldn't help but relax a little.
Chickenpox is a warm disease, not as dangerous as smallpox, and the fever will not be as bad as smallpox, Brother Run's body is only a little hot these days, and he is not very sick, so it is more likely to be a pox disease.
The old lady asked her to sit on the edge of the bed, and looked at the people standing below, "You all go outside!" Don't huddle around here. Saying that, he looked at Rong Hua, "You can go down with Rui'er, Rui'er didn't have a pox when she was a child." ”
The first time the old ant group was worried that it would be passed on to Xue Mingrui, pox is not only for children, as long as people who have not been out of the country may be passed on.
Rong Hua responded and walked out with Xue Mingrui.
The old lady seemed to have some certainty, and the atmosphere was no longer so tense. Lang Zhong hurried into the house, the men went to the outhouse to talk, and the women waited in the side room for news.
Second Mrs. Xue accompanied the old lady in the warm pavilion, and everyone's behavior was slightly different from just now.
The third lady saw that Rong Hua and Mrs. Xue separated after saying a few words, took the opportunity to step forward and smile gently, and slowly walked to Rong Hua's side, "Second nephew and daughter-in-law, let's go outside to breathe." ”
The third lady smiled again and again, Rong Hua couldn't refuse, she only glanced at Mrs. Xue, and Mrs. Xue didn't have any special expression on her face, so she followed the third lady outside.
It's getting late, the lights have been lit outside, and it looks very beautiful in the blink of an eye, the two of them talked for a while, and the third wife said that she didn't hide her smile in front of Rong Hua, and gradually became more and more familiar with Rong Hua, and her eyes became strange, if she pointed out, "I think you are a straight-hearted child, and it is really rare to be so good, but there are some things, you have to think about it more, and the province will suffer in the future." ”
It means that she just stepped forward to care about Brother Run! Second Mrs. Xue obviously knew Brother Run's true condition, but she deliberately behaved, and everyone was playing on the side, seeing that the old lady was anxious.
Although it may be a means that Second Mrs. Xue has been doing, everyone's performance also revealed a sense of indifference.
The third lady smiled and said: "There are many people who are troublesome now, which means that I don't have a chance, if I have the opportunity, I ......" said here and deliberately stopped. Anyone can hear what this means.
Rong Hua looked at the third lady again, but the third lady changed to the gentle face she had before, as if the person who said those words just now was not her.
The third lady took Rong Hua's hand, "You, the more I look at it, the more I like it." ”
On the one hand, he said bad things about the second wife, and on the other hand, he showed favor to her, and even had a sense of instigation.
"You are also a good blessing, the granddaughter-in-law of the long house." The underlying meaning is that in the future, this home will not be all yours, and if you can seize the opportunity to hit the second room that you are proud of now in the future, you must not hesitate. The third wife smiled slightly, and she didn't know if the second nephew and daughter-in-law understood.
The third lady and Rong Hua returned to the house, and after a while, Lang Zhong wrote the recipe and came out.
The second master, Xue Chongyi, personally sent Lang Zhong out of the house.
The old lady and the second lady also came out of the warm pavilion, and Mrs. Xue greeted her and asked, "What did Lang Zhong say?" ”
Mrs. Xue said: "It's pox, fortunately, the pox has already appeared, and it will be cured in a few days." ”
Mrs. Xue smiled: "As long as it's okay." ”
Old Madam Xue deliberately glanced at Rong Hua, and her eyes showed a soft gaze.
Old Madam Xue paused and ordered, "If you haven't had a pox, you should avoid it." The maid in the house also asked carefully, "It's also called Qian's," and offered the pox god. Then he chose two maids to take care of Brother Run.
The details of the explanation are no details, but there is no mention of the dereliction of duty maid Man'er.
With the third wife's longing gaze, Rong Hua smiled slightly.
After dinner, everyone went back to the house, Xue Mingrui went to the study to read as usual, Rong Hua put away Xue Mingrui's cloak, thinking that it would be better to make another one for him, and was about to call Hongyu to come in to discuss the style of this article in the 55ab community, Mu Hibiscus went to her side and stopped talking.
Rong Hua turned his head sideways to look at Mu Hibiscus and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
It took a long time for Mu Hibiscus to hesitate to speak, "Madam, I encountered something today, and I don't know how to tell Madame." ”
Mu Hibiscus has always been bold, and she never hides it in front of her, how can she get up like this this time, so she led Mu Hibiscus into the warm pavilion behind the bedroom, "What's not to say?" ”
Mu Hibiscus then said: "Seeing that it is the Worm King Festival, I was thinking of looking for the girl in the house to inquire about what should be prepared for the Worm King Festival in Xue Mansion, and I happened to meet Lotus Rong, Lotus Rong took me to see the yard where the book was drying, because I had never been to Xue Mansion with Miss before, Lotus Rong took me around, who knew that Lotus Rong was going to be convenient on the way, I was waiting for her in the yard, but I didn't expect to see it, there were two mothers-in-law pulling a maid to push and shove to the small courtyard behind. ”
Rong Hua was shocked, "Did those people see you?" ”
Mu Hibiscus said: "How dare I make a noise when I see this, and then the woman came out to check around, and I hid behind the rockery." ”
Mu Hibiscus said and looked at Rong Hua nervously, "I don't know which house the maid was tied up." ”
It is not uncommon to dispose of a maid, especially in a place like Xue Mansion, no matter which maid exceeds her duty, there will be such a result, "What time is it?" ”
Mu Hibiscus said: "About the end of the day (around 17 o'clock), before the lady came back." ”
Rong Hua's face turned pale, and asked Mu Hibiscus to call Chunyao and the others in.
Except for Jinxiu who went to the study to serve, the rest of the people went to the warm pavilion.
Rong Hua said: "Although it is more comfortable now than when you were at home, you also need the ant group to remember your duty at all times, don't be careless, the rules of the Xue family are indispensable to find a teacher to explain to you in detail, you have to remember clearly." ”
Looking at Rong Hua's serious expression, Chun Yao and the others nodded hurriedly.
When Chunyao and the others left, Rong Hua called Mu Hibiscus over, "Who is that lotus rong you said just now?" In which room do you serve? ”
Mu Hibiscus said: "If it were someone else, I would not follow her around, this lotus rong is the niece of Deacon Cui's family, and she was sold to Xue Mansion by Deacon Cui's brother." ”
Rong Hua couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out to be this lotus rong, she had only heard that the niece of Deacon Cui's family was in the Xue family, and she didn't bother to ask after she got married......
It stands to reason that this lotus seed should be someone she can trust, but now in this situation, Rong Hua suddenly wondered whether this lotus seed could be trusted.
The third lady just told her so many meaningful words, so that she could see the opportunity to slowly reverse the current situation. The maid in her house saw such a scene.
Although Lianrong came to find Hibiscus, it was possible that it was really a coincidence, and she couldn't help but be on guard, "Don't talk to Lianrong about our house for the time being." ”
Hibiscus nodded, "Madame didn't ask Lianrong to come over, and I didn't dare to say anything about the house, but Lianrong tried me, I don't know if Madame wanted her in." ”
Rong Hua thought for a while, "Where is Lian Rong on an errand now?" ”
Hibiscus said, "In the kitchen." ”
It's not in the third wife's house.
As soon as Rong Hua finished talking to Mu Hibiscus, he heard the maid outside: "Master Hou is back." ”
Rong Hua was a little surprised, why did Xue Mingrui come back just after going to the study, thinking that he was busy going out, the maid in the house brought the ant group to the first time to come up with tea, Rong Hua went to change Xue Mingrui's clothes, "Master Hou wants to rest now and count for a while?" ”
Xue Mingrui took a book, and set up a small study in the house, I don't know if I want to read in the house.
"I want to read a book on the kang for a while."
Rong Hua nodded, served Xue Mingrui on the kang, and brought a backrest pillow for Xue Mingrui to lean on.
Xue Mingrui picked up the book and read it, Rong Hua took scissors to cut the lantern flowers, and when he cut the lantern flowers, he quietly caught Xue Mingrui's eyes.
Xue Mingrui may have drunk a lot when he was kissing, and when she returned to Xue's mansion, she smelled the smell of wine on his body, and she still smelled a faint smell of wine on the end of her nose when she was serving him to change his clothes just now, and his dark and clear eyes didn't know if they were shaken by the red tent in the room, and there was a trace of crimson in it.
He may have felt a little tired, so he went back to the house to read.
Rong Hua put down the scissors, retreated gently, and when he arrived in the outhouse, he also picked up his own book of "Heavenly Creations" to read, read a few pages and felt thirsty, so he picked up the tea and drank it, and suddenly thought that Xue Mingrui might also want to drink water, so he poured a cup of tea and brought it in.
Xue Mingrui leaned on the pillow, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.
Rong Hua carefully put the tea on the table, looked at Xue Mingrui and didn't know whether to wake him up and rest well, or let him sleep like this for a while, after thinking about it, he took off his shoes and put on the kang and took out a blanket from the kang cabinet and slowly covered Xue Mingrui.
Rong Hua covered the blanket and was just about to leave, when the wrist that he had time to withdraw was suddenly stretched out and held by someone.
What happens next
