Chapter 187: Bloodlight (Part II)
As soon as the fourth master came back, the entire Xue family suddenly became busy. ()
The maids were busy opening the curtains, and let the fourth master be carried into the house and on the bed, Xue Yiwan took the opportunity to look at his father twice, and suddenly turned pale with fright, and tears flowed out.
Xue Mingzhe stepped forward and pulled his sister aside, and the fourth wife hurriedly stepped forward, not caring about others and shouting in a hurry, "Master, master, how are you?" ”
The fourth old man Xue Chongjie closed his eyes tightly, his face was pale, his lips were blue, and the fourth wife was startled when he touched Xue Chongjie's hands and feet, his palms were cold and stiff and turned purple like his lips, and he suddenly panicked, "What can I do about this." ”
The fourth lady cried bitterly, and all the people in the room panicked.
Rong Hua entered the house, stepped forward, and hurriedly instructed the mother-in-law, "Go and help bring the stove and water bladder" and asked the maid in the house, "Take a few more quilts, as well as useless soft cloths and mats." Then hurriedly looked at Lang Zhong, "I found a mother-in-law who knows more in the house, and I have prepared a stove and bought a water bladder." As he spoke, Feng Lichang's family had already led his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to take the things, wrapped the stove and water bladder in a soft cloth and placed them beside the fourth master.
The fourth wife was already like a frightened bird, and her eyes looked at the fourth master's chest without blinking, for fear that the faint breathing would stop.
The old lady let people help her into the house, and when she saw the situation of the fourth master, although her heart trembled, she still barely calmed down, and turned her head and asked Lang Zhong, "What should I do next?" You can only tell me what you need. ”
Lang Zhong stepped forward and saluted, "You can only try it with wormwood, and the young lady has already ordered someone to prepare." ”
The old lady nodded and took the fourth wife's hand, "Good boy, let's let it go, so that Lang Zhong can go and save the fourth child's life." ”
Where is the fourth wife willing to leave, Rong Hua stepped forward and grabbed the fourth wife's arm, "Fourth aunt, it is important to save your life, you can't delay any longer." With a slight force in her hand, the fourth lady staggered to her feet.
The mother-in-law has already brought the wormwood, Rong Hua instructed a few mothers-in-law who can stand up to the house to help, Mingzhe and Yiwan also followed the fourth wife to the side room to wait, most of the people in the room suddenly decreased, and the rest did not dare to make any sound, Rong Hua placed the fourth wife, returned to the house and put down the curtain with his own hands, the old lady looked at Rong Hua's eyes became soft, "You are young, go down and wait first." ”
Rong Hua nodded in response and went out.
The old lady was about to turn around and sit down outside the curtain, when Lang Zhong stepped forward and said, "Don't leave the old lady first, there are some things to ask you about." ”
Seeing Lang Zhong's solemn face, the old lady turned her head to look at Li's mother, "Go to the door and watch, no one is allowed to come in at this time." ”
There are people from the Arrest Department in the front yard who are investigating the fugitives, and the backyard is busy because of the affairs of the fourth master, and the little maid who has just entered the house has long been frightened to the point that her face is bloodless.
The raid in the front yard did not increase the number of people to take care of it, although the people in the yamen were a little careful because the Xue family was a family, but it was inevitable that many objects would be damaged.
Rong Hua was comforting the fourth wife in the house, and Jinxiu stepped forward and whispered, "Master Hou is back." ”
Rong Hua's eyes slowed, Xue Mingrui rushed back, and his hanging heart suddenly felt a little dependent.
Rong Hua stood up and comforted the fourth wife a few words, came out of the side room, and saw Mother Li open the curtain and let Xue Mingrui come out of the fourth uncle's house.
Xue Mingrui's face was tense, his eyes were as deep and cold as a pool of water, and when he raised his head, he saw that the corners of Rong Hua's eyes were relaxed, and then he felt a little warm.
Rong Hua followed Xue Mingrui out of the yard, "Walking to the rockery, Xue Mingrui stopped, waited until Rong Hua walked to his side, stretched out his hand to hold her fingers.
Although her face was still as calm as usual, her eyes did not loosen at all, "her fingertips were cold, for fear that others would not see it well" She withdrew her hand, but he held it tightly and refused to let go.
Rong Hua was pulled forward by Xue Mingrui, she lowered her head and saw Xue Mingrui's begonia-colored official uniform blowing in the wind, her eyes suddenly became hot, and her eyes blurred.
The two of them entered the room, and Rong Hua hurriedly asked, "How is the fourth uncle?" ”
Xue Mingrui said: "When I went in, Lang Zhong was using mugwort moxibustion, and he hasn't woken up yet.
Rong Hua's head suddenly drooped, "I shouldn't have ......,... if I knew it."
"It's none of your business."
Xue Mingrui's slender eyes narrowed, "The fourth uncle has known Long Zhengping for a long time, and they might have met without you." ”
Rong Hua frowned, "You don't have to comfort me, I always feel that this matter is inseparable from my purchase of rice." ”
Xue Mingrui said softly: "It's too early to draw conclusions, the matter of the fourth uncle is not so simple. ”
Time was pressing, Rong Hua raised his head and said another thing, "The people from the Arrest Department are still there, what should we do?" That child must be the grandson of encouragement, and if this matter is not done well, it will be punished. Actually, Hou Ye has worked hard to ......... But I didn't expect her to inadvertently "..."Now hand over the child, the things reported by the previous people will become a fact, if you don't hand it over, the crime of harboring will be settled. No matter how you explain it, I can't argue, and I don't have a better way, and I don't have time to ask Hou Ye for an idea. ”
Xue Mingrui said: "The calendar of this dynasty has been revised since the time of the first emperor Gaozong, and the punishment of children under the age of ten is not investigated, although the family is accused of greedy ink, it will not even be connected to his seven-year-old grandson, and I Xue Mingrui has never pointed the finger at women and children, how it should be, our Xue family is open-minded, there is nothing to hide." ”
Rong Hua said: "I have asked the child to be sent out of the house with the invited Lang Zhong, and now he is placed in the hospital." ”
Xue Mingrui nodded, "You've done your best, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
Rong Hua suddenly showed worry, "Hou Cha......,......
Xue Mingrui said: "Don't worry, I will arrange it properly" said with a narrow sliver of his slender eyes, and said softly, "You have done your best, in fact, sometimes I don't want you to do everything right, others can make mistakes, why can't you make mistakes?" Everyone else is fine, and you can't work too hard. ”
Rong Hua shook his head, "No, really not." ”
Xue Mingrui looked at Rong Hua's busy denial, and stretched out his hand to take Rong Hua into his arms, "Even if you accidentally make a mistake one day, there is still me, you can rest assured ......"
Rong Hua's fingers trembled, "Slightly retracted and climbed Xue Mingrui's official uniform, and the prominent texture on the official uniform seemed to be slowly imprinted in her heart through the palm of her hand."
"The fourth aunt needs someone over there, I'll go there, and I'll hand it over to Master Hou outside."
Xue Mingrui nodded lightly, "Don't worry, I'll come back early in the evening." ”
As soon as Xue Mingrui and Rong Hua came out of the house, Jinxiu stepped forward and saluted, and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Chang Ningbo and the prince are here." ”
Mrs. Chang Ningbo and the son? How could they come over now?
Rong Hua raised his head and looked at Xue Mingrui.
Xue Mingrui's eyes narrowed, and his gaze gradually became proficient.
Lang Zhong opened the curtain and came out, and the old lady hurriedly looked over, "How is it?" ”
Lang Zhong nodded, "I've woken up." ”
The old lady hurriedly stepped forward, only to see Xue Chongjie gasping weakly, his eyes were barely open, and the bruises on his body had faded, but there was still a sound of water in his chest.
The old lady took Xue Chongjie's hand, "Don't talk now, take care of it, I'll let Yun Pei and the children come in and see you." ”
Xue Chongjie nodded.
The old lady glanced at Mother Li, and Mother Li hurriedly went to the side room to call the fourth wife, the seventh master, and the sixth lady.
The fourth wife was distressed and happy to see Xue Chongjie, but she didn't dare to say too much to him.
The old lady said: "Don't let too many people come over to disturb the fourth" turned to the fourth lady and said: "I have to arrange someone to grab the medicine, and you have to take care of the rest." ”
The fourth lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Let Xue Mingzhe and Xue Yiwan accompany Xue Chongjie and follow the old lady out of the house."
Lang Zhong went to the side room to prescribe medicine, and the old lady led the fourth lady to the west side room to talk, and asked Li's mother to wait at the door. The fourth lady helped the old lady to sit on the kang in the suite.
The old lady's originally soft gaze suddenly became fierce, "What's going on with the fourth child?" You still won't say it? How long will you hide it from me? ”
The fourth wife was stunned when she heard this, her eyes were red and she knelt down, "It's not that the daughter-in-law refuses to say it, it's the master who refuses to let the daughter-in-law say it." ”
The old lady's hand suddenly trembled, "When is it?" ”
The fourth wife cried: "It's been a year of fighting, the old man doesn't eat well, I invited Lang Zhong to see it a few times, but it was useless" The imperial doctor also gave the pulse, and the medicine was ineffective, it became more and more serious half a year ago, and it didn't take much to eat, and sometimes it would vomit "Eating at the old lady's place is also to endure to eat some, the old man said that it is the same as before the aunt, I am afraid it will not be cured." ”
The old lady held the corner of the table tightly, she didn't notice it at all, and it wasn't until today that Lang Zhong invited her over that she found out when the fourth child had lost weight like this, "Nonsense, why is Aunt Dong's illness the same as the fourth?" How do you know if you haven't entered the door when your aunt goes? You will believe what the fourth child says, the fourth child is sick like this, why don't you ask me in private? Do you think that the fourth child is a concubine, and my mother doesn't take him to heart at all? ”
The fourth lady couldn't cry, she was scolded by the old lady so loudly, and the pain in her heart couldn't be expressed.
The old lady sneered, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, "I'll tell you, you must have listened to the fourth child, when Aunt Dong went, she invited a Lang Zhong to say that it could cure this disease, and the aunt took two doses of medicine, and I was the one who stopped it, you are afraid that I know that the fourth child has the same disease as my aunt, and I refuse to ask Lang Zhong to show him." ”
The fourth wife's eyes widened, and she trembled for a long time and spoke, "The daughter-in-law has never thought like this, the daughter-in-law is just ............ Listening to the master's words, I thought that he had really found the folk Langzhong, and he could really cure the disease"""The daughter-in-law didn't expect," "......"
The wrinkles on the old lady's face seemed to be much deeper all of a sudden, "I don't like Aunt Dong, because she provokes right and wrong, so let me and " paused, "The fourth child is the blood of the Xue family, I want to treat him as my own half wholeheartedly, but he doesn't like to talk much, I also asked him if he would like to be like his second brother, find a job in the court, he replied I don't want to, I thought he really didn't like it, I also thought about it, it may not be a good thing to have an official and a half-job, But I didn't expect that there was such a big gap between him and me. ”
The old lady said and looked at the fourth lady, "You don't talk often on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to be so confused." You think about him in everything, think of him, let him, but you shouldn't listen to him for everything, do you know that no matter whether it is face or silver, or the difference between concubines and concubines, you can't get his life back. ”
The fourth lady seemed to be paralyzed on the ground, not caring to wipe the tears from her face.
The old lady stood up tremblingly, "You go back and take good care of him, I will find a way to invite the best Lang Zhong to come, because he is my son, the son I raised from childhood to adulthood." ”
The fourth lady slammed her head on the ground, "Old lady, the daughter-in-law is wrong. ”
The old lady walked out of the house, and the fourth lady's sobbing sound came from behind her, Mother Li glanced into the room, and wanted to step forward to help the old lady, the old lady shook her head, "I can still hold on." ”
Mother Li said, "The young lady is here." ”
The old lady nodded, "Is Mingrui gone?" ”
Mother Li replied in a low voice: "No, Mrs. Chang Ningbo and the prince are here, and the Hou Ye is talking to the prince in front." ”
At this time, someone from Chang Ningbo's family came?
Mother Li said: "The second lady took Mrs. Chang Ningbo to the flower hall, and the young lady came to pay homage to the old lady. ”
The old lady said, "Rong Hua, let Rong Hua come over." ”
Mother Li bowed down and said, "I'll go and call the young lady over." ”
Rong Hua entered the house, the old lady looked out the window and didn't know what she was thinking, turned her head, her eyes immediately became clear again, the old lady put her hand on Rong Hua's hand, "Let's go, let's talk while walking." ”
Walking out of the courtyard and walking to the corridor, Rong Hua said in a low voice: "I have already told Master Hou." ”
The old lady slowed down, "It's not easy to think of this method at a critical moment, you're right, our family has no choice when it comes to this kind of thing." ”
Rong Hua said in a low voice: "It's all my fault, I didn't think of it for a while." ”
The old lady patted Rong Hua's hand, "Don't blame you, they are not coming for you, they are for the Xue family, and they will always try their best to achieve their goal."
Rong Hua's heart suddenly became hot.
"Why did Chang Ningbo's family come here?"
Rong Hua said: "Long Zhengping is waiting for news outside the mansion, I asked people to ask clearly, the person who rescued the fourth uncle was from Chang Ningbo's mansion, probably because of this Mrs. Chang Ningbo will come over with the prince." ”
The old lady stopped and turned her head to look at Rong Hua.
Rong Hua nodded, "At first, we only cared about the fourth uncle, and we didn't ask clearly, and we thought that it was the person invited by Long Zhengping who rescued the fourth uncle, but I didn't expect it to be someone else." ”
The old lady raised her hand to straighten her clothes, "Since that's the case, we're going to go and thank them." ".............................., I can't finish the code outside, and I go home from work at night to continue the code, but the child is crying and asking for his mother. It's like this every day, so it's really hard to get more codewords.
It would be nice if the child could go to kindergarten.
