Rui'er handed the hand stove to Liuli, and walked out, Cui Ying sorted out the wardrobe, glanced at this side twice, and finally came over and said, "There is one thing, girl, you can not be angry when you talk about it." Just now I went to the warehouse to get the cotton, but it happened that the thrush in the fifth girl's room was also there, originally I arrived first, we should have received it first, but do you know what the thrush said? She said what was the Nine Girls? On the elders and young, you should let them five girls, and on respect and humility, you should also let the five girls, Leng squeezed the slaves and maids away, and went first! ”
Liuli paused for a moment, and then put pen to paper again.
Cui Ying said: "Those five girls came to the door and beat you before, and now even her maid dares to bully you, the girl is really good-tempered!" ”
Liuli said slowly: "I can't help it, I can't beat her, I can't make trouble with her, she doesn't come to the door, I'm already very satisfied." "This is the truth, if it weren't for the identity of the ninth girl, He Yanhua would have shot no less than five times. But she won't endure it for long, now that she's being regulated and has limited mobility, as long as this limelight passes, she'll come.
Cui Ying couldn't continue, so she got up and left.
Liuli was familiar with "Spring and Autumn" when she was a child, and sometimes she felt that she was in a small world, if she said that Old Lady He or He Licheng was the monarch, then she was the most unpopular, but she had to agree to the existence of a certain partial emperor, she was obedient, if she was disobedient, then the Yu family and the main owners of He Mansion could choke her lifeline. Although she was far away, the target was obvious, and no one knew when one or two cold arrows would shoot at her.
Of course, saying this is a bit of an exaltation of yourself, but whether it is the imperial heir or an illegitimate daughter, if you are at a disadvantage, everyone must have the consciousness of survival. He Yanhua admittedly would not let go of the hatred that fell from her slap, but the cold arrow in front of her was Cuiying, not her.
Why did Cui Ying add fuel to the fire and provoke her relationship with Yan Hua? She doesn't have the ability to give the people around her a future at all, and it is impossible for them to really give in for her.
When Tian'er came back, half of her body was wet, and Rui'er hurriedly took clean clothes for her to change. The large kitchen has to walk through three courtyards, a lake, and most of the garden, like this day, when you bring it over, it has already become cold, not to mention that it will be wet when it rains, and the feeling of wet and cold glass is the most unforgettable.
If only I could cook my own food in the small courtyard.
After lunch, Liuli wants to take a nap, and Rui'er stays in front of the window to tailor her. Tian'er seemed to catch a cold, drank a bowl of ginger soup and fell asleep, Cui Ying said that she went to the front yard to find her sister to get embroidery.
When she got up, Rui'er was already spreading cotton on top of her cut clothes, and Cui Ying hadn't come back yet. Liuli wanted to pour tea, Rui'er put down the scissors and walked over, "The slave maid pours some hot tea for the girl." ”
Fortunately, the water is still boiled on a small stove, and the fragrance of tea wafts all over the house after a while. Liuli remembered that since the old lady came out of the study that day, she hadn't seen He Ming, and she didn't know what she was busy with? Is there something going on in the court? And Aunt Su, it stands to reason that she should have a private meeting with her, but so far I haven't seen any news from her, which makes Liuli wonder if she guessed all this wrong.
Rui'er lifted the curtain and suddenly said, "Girl, Tian'er seems to be seriously ill, and her forehead is so hot." ”
Ruri got up and followed her to the next door. Tian'er was lying on a bed in the south, wrapped in two quilts, her cheeks were crimson, her tentacles were hot, but she was still trembling.
"It should be a fever, you go get a basin of cold water."
Fourteen-year-old Rui'er obeyed her nine-year-old master, and quickly poured a basin of cold water. Liuli took Tian'er's face towel from the washstand, wrung cold water and put it on her forehead.
"Bring a few more pieces of cloth, and then ask if there are dandelions in the yard, and if so, make a small pot of soup and feed her to drink."
Rui'er didn't say anything, took in a few cloth towels, turned around and went to look for medicinal herbs.
Ruri glanced back at her, then silently wrung up the towel.
Cui Ying came back and saw this, and said: "It's really the life of the young lady's body, and it only rained so much that it became like this." ”
Tian'er burned so much that she couldn't speak, and she was so angry that she burst into tears.
After a while, Rui'er came in with Banlan root water, and Liuli took it and personally helped her up and fed her most of the bowl.
Cui Ying said: "Let Rui'er come, how can you let the girl work?" But he didn't move. Liuli saw that she finished drinking, so she asked Rui'er to help her lie down and put on a towel, and then went back to the room after sitting for a while.
Liuli rested early that night, and was suddenly woken up by a burst of water in the middle of the night, and thought it was the mother-in-law who was on duty at night, but suddenly heard Rui'er talking, so he sat up: "What's the matter?" ”
Rui'er ran over: "Girl, Tian'er is burning even more." ”
Liuli got out of bed, and when she got next door, Tian'er was vomiting, and she reached out to probe, and it was really worse than the evening burn.
"Go to the housekeeper and ask for a doctor."
Cui Ying made a difficulty: "This time, the housekeeper has already rested, and it is impossible to open the door in the middle of the night as a girl." ”
Liuli said: "What should I do if I encounter this kind of thing on weekdays?" In her previous life, she got sick twice in three days, but she didn't encounter such an unfortunate time, and there was indeed no precedent for the house to ask a doctor for a maid in the middle of the night.
Cui Ying said: "If it is a child, let her Lao Tzu Niang take it back first, if it is bought, you can only move farther away and stay up until dawn." ”
Tian'er is a child born in the family, and it is convenient to find a doctor when she takes it out. So Liuli asked Cui Ying: "Where is her old son and mother on an errand?" ”
Cui Ying glanced at her and said, "Her son is farming in the Zhuangzi, and her mother is the wet nurse of the third master in the long house. ”
Tian'er's mother is the wet nurse of Yu's son, which means that Tian'er is a person from the long house? Cui Ying reminded so obviously that Liuli was embarrassed to pretend to be confused.
However, this is normal, and it is not normal for the Yu family to not stuff people in. From this point of view, Cui Ying is more and more unlikely to be a member of the Yu family. Liuli pretended to be incomprehensible, and said without thinking: "Since it is from the eldest lady's side, then Rui'er will go to the long room to invite her mother over." ”
Rui'er dressed and went out, Cui Ying brought a stove for Liuli, and after waiting for about two teas, Tian'er's mother Cheng Ma came.
As soon as she entered the door, Cheng's mother pounced on Tian'er's bedside with the momentum of a vicious tiger pounceing on a sheep, and howled: "My son! Ruri didn't avoid it by the fireside, and the cloak on her body was brought up and wrapped around her feet, and she was stumbled.
Cui Ying complained: "Auntie didn't see people clearly and bumped into her, the nine girls' golden bodies, if you bumped into them, can you afford it?" ”
Cheng's mother cried for a moment, and in a blink of an eye, she cried again: "I don't know that the ninth girl is expensive, and if it weren't for the gold, my son wouldn't have fallen into this field!" When I came, I was still a little more energetic, and it was only a few days of work, how could I be so sick that I only had half a breath left! …… No way! She counted and counted, and suddenly got up: "I will take my son to find his wife!" I want my wife to make decisions for my son! ”
After that, he really dragged Tian'er out of the warm quilt, and couldn't help but say that he took a padded jacket and put it on her, and went out the door with it on his back.
