Chapter Ninety-Six: Xiu'er Is Sick
Xiao Jun saw that Mengxi's face was still a little pale, although he didn't know what had happened to her in the past few days, but when he saw her stubbornly coming to Shouxi Hall to say goodbye, he didn't feel a trace of pity in his heart, but he was more annoyed with her for not knowing how to cherish her body.
Mengxi frowned when she saw the second master looking at her, and thought about it carefully, she didn't mess with him early in the morning, thinking that they were at odds with each other, and this iceberg was annoyed when she saw her, and sighed helplessly in her heart.
After talking for a while, Xiao Yun also came over, and when the old lady saw that everyone was together, she ordered someone to set the meal. Mengxi found that she didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the cousin girl sat next to the second master again.
Looking at Mengxi with a delicate look, standing behind the old lady, carefully serving, the second master ate a tasteless meal, finally finished eating, removed the table, everyone sat down again, served tea, the old lady looked at Mengxi and said:
"Xi'er is not in good health, don't accompany me here, go back and take care of it, the old body is still waiting for you to come over and rub my shoulders and tell stories to relieve boredom."
Mengxi was busy, and said goodbye to the eldest master and others one by one, so he helped Zhiqiu and walked out, and as soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw the second master coming out, Mengxi was busy standing aside, letting the second master walk in front, Xiao Jun stopped when he came to her, looked at her and said:
"Xi'er, these..."
"Cousin, wait a while" As soon as Xiao Jun spoke, he saw his cousin come out and stop him from behind.
Depend on! It's hard enough, and have you ever run away?
Mengxi saw that the second master turned his head to look at Miss Xiu, and did not stop at his feet, helping Zhiqiu to walk slowly towards the sedan chair.
"Is my cousin still out of the house today?"
"Just came back, my father told me to rest for two days"
"Great, Xiu'er has nothing to do these days, and she has made a few new tunes, just to play them to my cousin, and ask my cousin for some advice."
Zhang Xiujiao said timidly, looking at her cousin with blinking eyes, looking like she couldn't refuse, Xiao Jun sighed unconsciously, and said helplessly:
"In this case, it just so happens that Xi'er is also there, so Xiu'er will go to Xiaoxiang Courtyard together."
mentioned Mengxi, I wanted to turn my head to call, there was still her shadow there, looking at the sedan chair in the distance, Xiao Jun's brows were tightly locked.
For two days in a row, Xiao Jun did not leave the house, and Xiu'er had been in Xiao Xiang's courtyard, and from time to time there was Xiu'er's piano sound like flowing water in the main hall, and she frowned when she heard Qiu and several other girls.
Mengxi has been in a very good mood in the past two days, and there is frequent good news in the pharmacy, the medicine on the second floor is selling faster than the one on the first floor, and I heard that most of them are bought by the imperial doctor in the palace, yesterday Li Du sent a letter over, those few limited drugs are out of stock, Mengxi was uncomfortable two days ago, and has not been prepared, and in the past two days, he has been busy in the pharmacy again, closing the east door every day, and living in a simple place.
The medicine on the second floor, that's a million profits, Mengxi and Zhiqiu counted the freshly prepared medicines, while fantasizing that she had become a rich man, the stacks of silver tickets were overwhelming, she counted and counted, until her hands cramped, and then smashed on the second master's head, telling him that she was going to change jobs and not serve him, that cool, imagining the expression of the second master after hearing it, she unconsciously let out a chick-like giggle laugh, and she learned that Qiu looked at her second grandmother with a nervous face.
Mengxi's deep residence is simple, but it has fulfilled the cousin, making her like a fish in water for the past two days, she is concentrating on playing her new song at the moment, the demeanor of full dedication, coupled with the sound of the piano like flowing water, is really intoxicating, at the end of the song, Xiu'er raised her head:
"Cousin, how is this tune?"
After not hearing an answer for a long time, Xiu'er got up and came to her cousin's side, and found her cousin standing by the window, looking at the window of the east wing with a frown.
Seeing this situation, Xiu'er's heart sank, the person in the east chamber should have found a way to get rid of it earlier. Seeing that she usually lives in a simple house, she looks like she has no quarrel with the world, but as soon as she makes a move, she doesn't believe that her cousin-in-law is innocently sick to that extent, and she almost fell down from the chair that day, no matter how she looks at it, it seems that her cousin-in-law did it deliberately, but unfortunately the old lady's old eyes are dizzy, and she can't see it, so that she is complained by her aunt every day these days, and her aunt actually cares about her whereabouts. All of this is the harm of her cousin-in-law, and now she no longer has the contempt for her cousin-in-law at the beginning, she feels that this person is her real opponent, raising tigers is a problem, and she must no longer let her be free in the East Chamber, Xiu'er stood beside her cousin, followed her cousin's gaze, looked at the East Chamber, and secretly made up her mind.
Xiao Jun only rested in the mansion for two days, and the next days began to be the same as before, but they were busier than before, and it was already late when he returned to the mansion every day. Most of the time I live in the main house, but I only occasionally go to the chrysanthemum garden and the bamboo garden.
Every day when Xiao Jun comes back, the lights in the East Chamber are almost turned off, so even if they live in the same courtyard, Xiao Jun and Mengxi rarely intersect, and please An is also one after the other, and meeting at the old lady's place is just a mutual salute, which is worse than the stranger.
Xiu'er has straightened out the maids and mother-in-law in Xiao Xiang's courtyard these days, as if she has become the master here, but she looks at her cousin-in-law every day, looks at the east wing, and there is always a thorn in her heart, she rarely sees her cousin these days, but gives her plenty of time to start thinking about her cousin-in-law, maybe it is because she thinks too much and consumes a lot of energy, this Xiu'er is strangely sick, and she is sick for no reason, the eldest lady invited a few doctors, and she didn't find out what the reason is, and finally Xiu'er's personal maid Bingxin came up with an idea and said:
"Miss is not evil, why don't you ask someone to come over and take a look."
As the saying goes: If you are sick and go to the doctor, when the eldest lady heard this, she felt that it was reasonable, so she sent someone to find two Daotu to come over, after Daotu came, she looked at Xiu'er's birthday, and pinched her fingers for a long time, and finally said that she was collided by the people in this house, and did a serious thing for a long time, not to mention, Xiu'er's illness was really cured.
So, the eldest lady also believed that Xiu'er was evil, so she asked Daotu to count who collided with Xiu'er, Daotu thought about it, and asked Xiu'er about how she got sick, and where she had been before and after getting sick?
Yu thought about it for a while, and said, their young lady was not energetic when she came back from Xiao Xiang Courtyard that day, and the eldest lady heard it, so she ordered someone to find the birth date of everyone in Xiao Xiang Courtyard, including the aunts of each room, and let the Tao land count, the road land counted, and finally pointed to a birthday eight characters and said, this person is too hard, I am afraid that it is an unlucky person, the eldest lady picked it up and looked at it, and did not feel angry, this person is not someone else, it is the second grandmother Mengxi.
