Chapter 281: Warming
Lin Yi raised her head and saw Zhou Shijiu walking into the door.
Zhou Shijiu's expression was still calm, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
"Do you feel uncomfortable in any way?" Zhou Shijiu sat on the kang with a gentle and concerned gaze.
Lin Yi shook her head, "I'm fine." She just bothered to arrange all kinds of things, and although she was emotionally sad, she didn't fluctuate much, after all, Mrs. Zhou was sick in bed when she got married.
"Have a good rest, I have already handed over the recital to the court, and I will be at home these days, and I will have something to do outside." Zhou Jiu's smile became more and more kind, and his eyes became clearer, like the sky after rain, with a little dampness in the blue color, and he would never notice it if he didn't gaze carefully.
Lin Yi gently leaned on Zhou Shijiu's shoulder, "I finally saw the last meeting, and my uncle was very relieved." ”
Zhou Jiujiu didn't speak, and the brand-new slash was pasted on her face, which somehow made her heart a little sour. Take a deep breath and fill your nose with an unfamiliar smoky taste.
"It doesn't smell good, I just burned the floor paper. I'll come and see you, and I'll be there later. Zhou Shijiu stretched out his hand and took the pillow and let Lin Yi lean on it.
The steward outside called, and Zhou Nineteen stepped out of the door.
Lin Yi called Gong's mother over, "How is it over there?" How is the old lady? ”
Mother Gong said in a low voice: "I am pulling the female relatives of the clan to cry, saying that the old lady's hands are still hot, and I want the second master to go to the Internal Affairs Office to ask for medicine, let alone seal the material." ”
Lin Yi remembered Zhou Jiujiu's calm expression just now, and instructed Gong's mother, "Go and listen again, come and tell me if you have anything." ”
In the afternoon, Jiang Shi came over to speak, "It's all arranged, there are people inside and outside to take care of it, but there are many people coming and going, and the banquet and meals in front of it will be cold for a while, and the next person can't take care of it when it is hot." ”
Lin Yi is most worried about this, the flowing water banquet can't be stopped, "let people open the two small kitchens." Then prepare more charcoal fires in the flower hall. ”
Jiang's jaw, "That's all it can be." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang said: "The old lady is desperate this time, and her voice is hoarse when she cries in the main house. kept mentioning Lao Kangjunwang's family, saying that the old lady was now gone over there and left her here alone...... It's no wonder that she didn't take good care of this family, and now Zhou Yuanjing hasn't been able to come back to see her off. The old lady has worked hard in this life, and in the end, the children around her are not complete. ”
The old lady did not say this to the ladies of the clan camp, but to Zhou Shijiu. The old lady was so angry that she had a stroke because she heard about Zhen's affairs, although Zhou Yuanjing killed his wife first, but Zhen's head was cut off but framed for Mrs. Zhou. Old Madam Zhou probably thought of it in her heart, and there must be Zhou Nineteen arrangements here.
The old lady helped Zhou Shijiu's family raise Zhou Shijiu again, but she didn't enjoy any blessings, but instead lost her son to his death. The old lady took advantage of Zhen's corpse to count all the accounts of this pen on Zhou Shijiu's head, others couldn't hear the outside strings, but Zhou Shijiu could understand it, Zhou Shijiu didn't care about the old lady, but he cared about the old lady's uncle very much. Mrs. Zhou knows how to make others feel bad.
The Jiang family was busy until late before leaving the house. Only the filial piety and grandson were left in the filial piety hall, and the entire Kangjun palace was quiet all of a sudden, and a white lantern was hung under the corridor to make the atmosphere in the whole palace very sad.
Zhou 19 came back late to change clothes and freshen up.
Except for the crown on the head. Dressed in filial piety clothes, his shadow shone under the flickering lights, a little cold and pale.
Zhou Shijiu finished washing up and sat next to Lin Yi's warm kang, "I'll go to sleep in the inner room in a while, I still have to keep vigil." ”
Lin Yi shook her head, "There are still a few ladies in the house, and I will come and talk after a while, even if I can't go to the filial piety shed to guard, I must do my filial piety here." "Wherever you can eat and sleep without care.
Zhou 19 said: "Have you eaten something?" ”
Lin Yi shook her head, "The prince of the county and I can eat some porridge together!" ”
The maid came to set up the kang table. Zhou Jiu and Lin Yi simply ate some porridge.
The subordinate removed the dishes and chopsticks, and the compact small steps gradually moved away, and Orange Hong reached out to close the partition door, and the room was quiet all of a sudden.
The subordinate knew that she had something to say to Zhou Shijiu, and Zhou Shijiu naturally understood it in his heart, but his eyebrows were sparse on the surface. There was no intention to talk to her deeply.
Lin Yi still told Zhou Nineteen about the situation when he was not at home, "The imperial doctor said that the old lady's illness has dragged on for so long and the oil has run out, even if it wasn't last night, I am afraid I won't be able to survive these few days." Last night, the old lady was angry because he heard that the uncle had killed his sister-in-law, and the old lady had been hiding this matter in the house. ”
Lin Yi's voice was gentle, and she looked up at him and said slowly, trying to explain everything clearly...... It was comforting him. The uncle had a stroke because Zhou Yuanjing was angry at killing his wife, not because he heard that Zhen's head was cut off.
The matter of Zhen's corpse was fueled by him behind the scenes, and the Zhen family opened the joint and hired someone to cut off Zhen's head. In this way, his uncle's death is inseparable from him.
"I know," Zhou Shijiu patted Lin Yi on the shoulder, "I know it all." ”
said that he knew, but his face was still a gentle smile, just like the exquisite embroidery on the brocade robe, his demeanor was too elegant, but he hid all the holes under the ornament.
Lin Yi continued: "Uncle feels indebted to the county prince, and in my uncle's heart, the county prince is no different from the eldest brother and the second brother, but he has been unable to do it all these years, so he can only watch his aunt treat the county prince poorly." If the prince of the county is calculated by his aunt and suffers a loss, he will not be able to feel at ease when his uncle leaves. ”
Zhou Shijiu's eyes darkened slightly.
Lin Yi showed a warm smile and comforted Zhou Shijiu, "Uncle just wants to wait until the prince of the county before he dies, and the prince of the county rushes back, at least in my uncle's heart, this father-son relationship has always been there." ”
Zhou Shijiu looked at Lin Yi, "Uncle treats me like a son?" ”
Lin Yi didn't avoid Zhou Shijiu's gaze, and bowed her jaw, "When the concubine mentions the prince of the county, the uncle's expression is that the prince of the county is lacking, not the uneasy apology in his heart. ”
"I usually feel that I don't give enough to my children, so I owe it in my heart, and I feel uneasy and sorry for outsiders," Lin Yi said and paused, "At least that's what the concubine thinks, and my uncle treats the prince of the county as his own child." ”
Lin Yi remembered the rumors in the house, saying that Zhou Shijiu was born in the old lady's outer room, and later gave it to the prince of Lao Kangjun as his heir, so the old lady would try his best to bring Zhou Shijiu back to raise him, and he was partial in every way. Now that the old Kangjun King and the old lady are gone, no one can tell what is going on, but at least in the old lady's heart, Zhou Shijiu is his son.
"Uncle has always treated me very well, as long as he is at home, the eldest brother and second brother will give me what they don't have," Zhou Shijiu's eyes were bright and he smiled slightly, "It's not just talking on the surface, it's really that I often go to my house to sit down and ask about these things in person, not because my parents are dead, so I pity me, but I really want to be good to me." It's a pity that these days are not long, and I haven't had time to ask many words clearly. ”
Zhou Jiu paused for a moment, "This is probably what my aunt wants to know the most." ”
Lin Yi nodded.
"Over the years, my aunt has taken advantage of my uncle's illness to compete with each other outside the house, and my uncle can be regarded as resting quietly now," Zhou Shijiu's Adam's apple slid slightly, reached out and hugged Lin Yi in his arms, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Thanks to you, I can be sent to the end of my bed." ”
……
Mrs. Zhou's filial piety hall was placed for seven seven and forty-nine days, and the Taoist priest recited the scriptures and did seven, and only after everything was completed did he go out of the funeral.
On the day of Mrs. Zhou's funeral, Zhou Shijiu waited for the handover to be sent down, and then sent the news to the old lady's house. Zhou 19 begged Zhou Yuanjing to be temporarily released to support the coffin for funeral, but the emperor approved it.
Old Madam Zhou's face immediately changed when she heard the news.
After waiting for the round tomb, Zhou Shijiu officially put on his official robe and went to the yamen.
Lin Yi also saw that she had been out of bed for three months, her daily morning vomit was less, and her appetite gradually improved, so Imperial Doctor Cheng came into the house and prescribed medicine, telling Lin Yi to get out of bed and walk, but not for too long.
Lin Yi let Orange Hong help her out of the door, took a long breath, and suddenly felt a lot more transparent.
Mother Gong laughed beside her, "There are still seven months, but the fetal gas is stable, and the next one will be much better." ”
I don't know if it's about to be the New Year, so the days will pass quickly, as if the blink of an eye has entered the wax moon, the joy of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and the emperor's illness is gradually getting better.
Lin Yi and Yu Qiu exchanged a few letters, and the old lady's illness has improved these days, and she has reported to the yamen who is in charge of the epidemic, and is ready to return to Beijing in the next few days.
The epidemic on the other side of Rehe began to improve two months ago, and now it has also been reported to the imperial court to confirm that no one is infected again, such news entered Beijing, the whole capital was relieved, and the streets were prosperous again, the female dependents held back in the house for a few months, and finally began to move around, and the opera troupe in Beijing also began to be in demand, and in just three days, Lin Yi had already received more than a dozen banquet posts, and Lin Yi refused because of her filial piety.
The people are lively, the energy of the Son of Heaven is gradually exuberant, and as before, he is in the heart of the palace every day to approve the folds, during the serious illness many folds have been re-approved, several princes who are in charge of the court take turns to enter the palace to listen to the training, Zhou Yuanjing's case of killing his wife was brought up at this time, and the Zongren Mansion was ordered to close the case as soon as possible.
The in-laws moved back to Beijing safely, and Lin Yi invited Yu Qiu, Miss Zheng Qi, Princess Xianjun, Jiang and the female relatives who helped in the mansion a few days ago to sit in the mansion. Because they were still in the filial piety period, everyone just sat together and talked, and Lin Yi thanked Princess Xianjun and the Jiang family, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do." ”
Princess Xianjun said: "It's all my own family, what is there to thank for, as long as I can help." ”
Jiang asked about Mrs. Zhou.
Lin Yi said: "I've been sick, and I haven't even come out of the door." ”
At this time, he can only recuperate in a low-key manner, you must know that there is already a lot of discussion outside, and someone has already persuaded Lin Yi to let Lin Yi talk more in front of Mrs. Zhou, and don't make any more trouble because of Zhou Yuanjing. (To be continued)
