Chapter 436: The Hustle and Bustle (I)

Mother Tao had someone to cook, and the attention of Mrs. Tai and the others was focused on Xu Sizhen, who had woken up. That Liu Yizheng smiled like Maitreya Buddha: "...... The prince has suffered a lot of twists and turns in the past two days, and the diet is as light as possible, and I will prescribe two more prescriptions to replenish qi and blood and eat, and there will be nothing in the way. Speaking of this, he paused in a tone, "However, the deficiency of the prince is brought out from the mother's womb, and medicine is not as good as food." It is better to find someone who is good at making medicinal food to take care of the prince, which will definitely have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. ”

Xu Lingyi heard this in his heart, and when he sent Liu Yizheng away, he discussed with Mrs. Tai: "I'm afraid that my mother will help worry about this matter?" ”

Mrs. Tai set her eyes on the second lady: "Yizhen, do you know anyone!" ”

The second lady thought for a while and said, "I'll give it a try!" ”

Everyone didn't say anything more, and the matter was handed over to the second lady.

Xu Lingyi talked about inviting the Changchun Taoist to practice and go to Ciyuan Temple to offer incense: "...... That Changchun Taoist can say something if he has nothing to do. Now that Brother Zhen is awake, I don't think I need to invite it. There was a bit of annoyance in his tone, "What's more, if you invite someone to come to the house to do things, you will inevitably have to set up a special yard, and when the time comes, people will come and go, and it will be very complicated, and it will not be good to go to the wrong place." When the time comes, I will ask Mr. Bai to seal a big red envelope and give it to him. At Ciyuan Temple, I was originally scheduled to go tomorrow morning, but there is no need to change this matter - there have always been many female dependents over there, and when I asked, I said that I would go and repay my wishes. ”

The so-called "going to the wrong place" refers to the fear that someone will find out that Aunt Yi is detained in the house; The so-called large number of female dependents refers to the fact that many wives and ladies of the families of ministers, high-ranking officials and magnates in Yanjing like to go to Ciyuan Temple to offer incense - this is also a good opportunity to avoid rumors.

Xu Sizhen woke up, Mrs. Tai felt that her whole body was relaxed, and she smiled when she heard this: "Then it's decided." He also said, "I'm also going to Ciyuan Temple to offer incense to the Bodhisattva." Brother Zhen can turn evil into good fortune, and he is really blessed by the Bodhisattva. Then he smiled and instructed Ge Jin and the jade plate, "Go and send a letter to Danyang, so that she can rest assured." There are also Brother Qin'er, Brother Jian'er, Brother Jie'er, and Sister Zhen'er, all of whom sent someone to deliver a letter. After speaking, seeing that the time was not early, he added: "I see, it's time for lunch soon, and I will tell you to cook a few dishes in the kitchen, let Danyang and them all come, and we will have a good meal around." ”

Ge Jin and Yu Ban smiled and left, one assigned the little maid to pass the word, and the other ordered the kitchen to add vegetables.

The room was quiet again.

Xu Lingyi helped Mrs. Tai to go to the east room.

But Mrs. Tai kept heading eastward.

"Mother Tao came here just now." Mrs. Tai sat on the beauty couch, Xu Lingyi, Eleven Niang, and Second Lady sat around Mrs. Tai, "She vaguely said that Eleven Niang brought a letter to her, and I let her in......"

Mrs. Tai told Xu Lingyi everything that had just happened.

Xu Lingyi was not very surprised. Zhu Xiang did not directly ask Manager Bai to help ask for a doctor, but looked for the photo next to Xu Lingyi, not only that, but also told the picture all about the scene at that time - the picture knew, and Xu Lingyi also knew. Xu Lingyi couldn't say anything in front of everyone, so she took her hand and asked her quietly at night: "Were you scared at the time?" ”

Eleven Niang nodded.

Xu Lingyi hugged her in her arms and sighed softly: "Endure it for two more days, and you will be able to go back to the main house soon!" ”

"It's fine!" Eleven Niang felt that she was doing Xu Lingyi a favor by staying here with Mrs. Tai to reassure Xu Lingyi, "It's good here." You can also help take care of Brother Chen. ”

Xu Lingyi didn't make a sound.

The next day, she left her eleventh mother at home, and was accompanied by the second and fifth ladies to Ciyuan Temple. After Liu Yizheng gave Xu Sizhen a follow-up consultation, he asked Liu Yizheng to help Shi Niang take the pulse.

Liu Yizheng knew the situation, and couldn't help muttering in his heart that Xu Lingyi valued the heirs too much, and gently persuaded Xu Lingyi: "It's a medicine that is three parts poison." Mrs. Zun's pulse image is calm and powerful, and there is no obstacle from medical theory. I think it's better to take medicinal food with the fourth young master. ”

Xu Lingyi really considered this problem, and later invited two masters who were very good at medicinal food, one served in Xu Si's body, and the other served by Shi Niang's side. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being. only said that Xu Lingyi sent Liu Yizheng away, and Manager Bai came with a wry smile on his face.

"Master Hou, Daoist Chang Changchun said, he didn't do anything, how could he accept Lord Hou's reward. If Hou Ye really has a heart, please ask Hou Ye to make a piece of gilt flat forehead and send it over, even if it is a common relationship between him and the fourth young master. ”

Xu Lingyi was very unhappy when she heard it, but she still responded, and asked Mr. Bai: "You can look at a few words!" ”

Manager Bai knew that he didn't like Changchun Daochang, and he was still playing a small drum when he came, but he didn't expect him to answer in one go, for fear that he would change his mind, so he went out with a smile.

Xu Lingyi said to Shi Niang: "You see, Changchun Dao must be hyped everywhere because of our family's flat forehead, saying how he is a prophet, and how I am grateful to him." The tone was rather indignant.

Eleven Niang: "But in this way, everyone is even more convinced that Brother Chen's accident is providential!" ”

Xu Lingyi shouted: "Otherwise, I can still let him come like this." ”

It turned out to be more complicated than they thought.

The Taoist chief of Changchun took the flat forehead sent by the Xu family, and declared to his followers that in order to thank the Yongping Marquis Mansion for his kindness, he decided to go to the Xu Mansion in person and make a blessing party for Xu Sizhen for free.

In this way, things are back to square one, and Xu Lingyi can't refuse - since he sent a flat forehead, he agrees with Changchun Daochang; Since he agrees with the Changchun Daoist, wouldn't it be a contradiction if he refused to do a prayer meeting for Xu Sizhen from the Changchun Daoist.

This was actually a good opportunity for the Xu family to divert everyone's attention, but because this person was the Changchun Daoist that Xu Lingyi hated the most, he was so angry that he paced back and forth in the study for a long time before he could barely hold back his anger.

Eleven Niang laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.

Mrs. Tai and the others came back from Ciyuan Temple and found out, and they also smiled.

At this time, the third master's reply arrived.

He asked Xu Lingyi to handle the matter on his behalf.

Xu Lingyi put down the letter and instructed Mr. Bai to prepare the carriage and horses: "...... In the end, I served the third brother once, and Brother Zhen is fine, so send Aunt Yi to Shanyang! Give it to the third brother to dispose of. ”

Aunt Qin was uneasy when she heard this: "Cui'er, you go and inquire, did you send it to Shanyang or somewhere else?" He muttered again, "The mountains and suns are thousands of miles away, the mountains and rivers are poor, nothing will happen on the road, right?" ”

Cui'er doesn't dare to see anyone now, for fear that she will affect others at that time. Seeing that Aunt Qin asked her to inquire about the news, she was full of resentment.

If it weren't for her, how could she end up like this?

But when she thought of her parents, brothers, and sisters at home, Cui'er didn't dare not persuade her: "Auntie, at this time, it's too late for us to hide, how can we inquire about Aunt Yi's news." Don't forget, the Fourth Lady made a special trip to ask you about this last time. Don't stir up some trouble! ”

Aunt Qin no longer insisted. Thinking that she was cautious all her life, she only missed a few words in front of Aunt Yi, but it was this person who told her about it. If it was sent to Shanyang, it would be better to say, but in order to survive, Aunt Yi would definitely not dare to say anything. If it wasn't sent to Shanyang, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and if Aunt Yi took care of her affairs, Xu Lingyi would not let her go eight or nine times out of ten.

She lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. shouted "Cui'er" in the middle of the night: "You say, how can you let the second young master come back?" ”

Tiger poison does not eat children. No matter how hard-hearted Hou Ye is, it is impossible to kill his biological mother in front of his son, right?

Tsui's son covered the quilt with his head.

I heard that people who have been injected with medicine will die of broken liver and intestines, and they will be in pain for three days and three nights before they lose their breath. Otherwise, how could so many people be scared to death when they heard that they were going to be drugged.

The thought of this made her tremble

Aunt Qin shouted Cui'er twice before she heard it, and perfunctory to her impatiently: "Auntie has always had a lot of ideas, and I don't know." "How many grievances are there.

"What's wrong with you?" Aunt Qin was a little listening to the wind and rain now, and sat up busily, "Did you hear something?" ”

"The slave didn't hear anything!" Cui'er knew that she should have slowed down her voice at this moment, softer, but her voice was still a little stalky.

Aunt Qin was even more worried, she got up and sat down beside Cui'er, and said in a low voice, "You kid, what's wrong?" ”

Cui'er remembered the scene when the two got along in the past, and Aunt Qin also called her like this, how could she ever think that it was the gentle and kind person in front of her who made her fall into today's field.

She didn't want to look at her again, so she turned her head: "Auntie, go to sleep quickly!" I really didn't hear anything! ”

Where did Aunt Qin believe it, Cui'er was afraid that she couldn't help jumping up and pinching Aunt Qin's throat, so she found an excuse to send Aunt Qin away: "I heard that Sister Qiuhong's wedding date is set for the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and Sister Amber's is set for the first day of the eighth month......"

"That's what it was." Aunt Qin suddenly went back to the bed and lay down, thinking about her own thoughts, and didn't ask more.

Cui'er bit her lip a few times.

Aunt Wen is very capable, and ordinary people can't compare. What about Aunt Qiao? Could it be that Aunt Qin, you who gave birth to the eldest son are not as good as Aunt Qiao, who has no children and has fallen out of favor? Thinking that Aunt Qiao also refuted her mother's words because her mother wanted to marry the embroidery to a small servant in Cheng Guogong's mansion, she came to the door with a four-color gift and begged Du's mother to help the embroidery find a good family. As for your Aunt Qin, she was born as a maid, but she doesn't have a personal word for them......

Thinking of this, I hate myself even more for following the wrong master.

I kept my eyes open until dawn.

In the outer courtyard, the sound of gongs and drums came from time to time.

The little maid who came in to fetch water and serve them to freshen up told her happily: "The fourth young master is all right, and the masters are all happy." I invited the Changchun Taoist who is the most proficient in Yanjing City to do a blessing ceremony for the fourth young master! ”

Cui'er is not interested in these news now, she only hopes that her life will change a little now.

She let out a soft "um" and sprinkled her tooth powder on the toothbrush, brushing her teeth vigorously.

Eleven Niang looked at the toothbrush in a daze.

Zhu Xiang was startled when she looked at it: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Zhuxiang." Eleven Niang's voice carried a few surprises, "I, I don't seem to feel anything!" ”
