Chapter 148: The Beginning of the Edge (Medium)

Rong Hua changed into a gold-threaded gown with dyed lotus red, a swallowtail Qingluo skirt, combed a heart bun, put on the eight treasures golden lotus given by the emperor, a crested hairpin, and picked a silver-red yarn pile flower to wear, as Mrs. Wu Muhou looks dignified and generous. (Niu Wen ~ Net)

Rong Hua went to the old lady's house. Second Mrs. Xue was talking to Xue Chongyi here.

Xue Chongyi has rarely been idle in the yamen these days, but because of Minghao's marriage, he has a sad face all day long, and when he sees his wife so happy today, he can't help but ask the reason.

The second lady smiled: "There is an imperial doctor in the palace who has come to see the old lady." ”

Xue Chongyi was slightly stunned, "Mother is sick?" When was this? Why aren't you here to serve? ”

The second lady sneered, "Where is it really sick, even we don't know that the old lady is sick, and the imperial doctor has come to the palace," said and looked left and right, showing a trace of nervousness on her face, "I also want to ask you, have you heard anything in the court recently?" ”

Xue Chongyi thought carefully, "No, no one is not busy with the matter of the Holy Lord's arrival in the capital, and the princes are all looking at who will stay in the prison country, how can there be other things." ”

The second wife said: "Even if there is, you can't see that Mingbai is younger than you, who is a father." ”

Xue Chongyi raised his eyebrows, "What are you talking about?" ”

The second wife was not afraid of him, "I think this is a regular greeting from above." ”

Xue Chongyi was taken aback, "Nonsense, what are you asking for at home these days?" ”

The second wife raised her eyebrows, "How is it impossible?" Although Mingrui's marriage was agreed by the above, and he married a concubine and came back, but the above may not be completely relieved, not to mention that the outside also said that our second nephew and daughter-in-law," she paused deliberately, "is a capable person, although her mother's family can't borrow her strength, but she is liked by the old lady, and she has a deep relationship with Hou Ye's plaice." ”

Listening to the second wife's meaningful words, looking at the mocking smile in her eyes. Xue Chongyi suddenly understood, fear flashed on his face, and he stretched out his hand to cover the second wife's mouth, "I asked you not to mention this kind of thing again, but you just don't listen, and you will not be happy until the catastrophe comes." Saying that, she also used her strength in her hands, and Mrs. Xue finally struggled away.

The second wife sneered, "Do you also know when the catastrophe will come?" It's hard to do it on my head, and it's not all because the old lady wants to ......."

Xue Chongyi stepped forward with a fierce face and pulled the second wife and pulled her to the suite, where was the second wife afraid, the two of them tore for a while, Xue Chongyi's momentum gradually weakened, and the second wife seemed to have diverged the resentment of several days, and the two spoke again.

Xue Chongyi said: "You can't write two Xue Lai in one stroke, don't you know?" If the above is investigated, not only the big house, where is our benefit? I'm afraid that the hereditary title will also be gone, how can it fall to someone else? ”

The second wife sneered: "That's not necessarily, if it was like this a few years ago, now it's different, Mingbai and Mingwei have already found errands, and the above must have been investigated a long time ago, where can we wait until today?" The old lady's face is still there, and besides, this kind of thing is not our fault, if you want to make a mistake, it is Mingrui's fault. ”

Xue Chongyi said: "How can this kind of thing be said clearly? ”

The second wife glanced at Xue Chongyi obliquely, "That's why I want to marry Chang Ningbo's family, and if there is anything in the future, our family can get out." ”

Xue Chongyi frowned, "Now there is no way for my mother to disagree." ”

The second wife smiled: "That's not necessarily, this is our chance, I'll talk to someone about it, and this matter will definitely be done." ”

Xue Chongyi said: "You don't have to be too complacent, be careful of getting angry, what are you thinking about, how can your mother not know?" ”

The second lady pursed her lips and smiled: "What can the old lady know?" I didn't do it myself," Seeing that Xue Chongyi disagreed, the second wife raised her willow eyebrows, "I haven't been able to have it in my family all these years?" ”

Xue Chongyi had nothing to say, the second wife pulled Xue Chongyi into the inner room, took off his boots for him, beat his legs while talking to him, and bumped Xue Chongyi with her elbow from time to time, Xue Chongyi gradually had a smile on his face.

……

Rong Hua entered the old lady's courtyard, and Xiangyu had already stepped forward to greet her, "The young lady is here." ”

Rong Hua bowed slightly, and Xiangyu said, "The imperial doctor from the palace is still there." ”

Rong Hua slowed down, everyone in the house asked the imperial doctor to come to see if they had symptoms, but this time it was also an imperial doctor to ask for a pulse, but everyone seemed to be different, Mother Li had something to say, even Xiangyu had to be so cautious.

Xiangyu opened the curtain and let Rong Hua into the house, and the old lady was leaning on the soft chair and drinking tea and talking with someone.

The old lady wore a brown shouzi gown, a turmeric forehead on her head, a simple bun, and silver threads on her temples exposed. The daughter-in-law who combs her hair next to the old lady is a skillful person, and she can always find a way to make the old lady's gray hair less exposed outside, and the old lady is always in good spirits, and she doesn't see a little old on weekdays.

Today is different, the old lady sitting in the middle seat, her eyes are a little chaotic, her expression is tired, and with the silver threads between her temples, she looks soft.

Seeing Rong Hua coming, the old lady smiled and asked people to set up a screen, and then said: "This is Imperial Doctor Cheng from Tai Hospital, I am not feeling well, Imperial Doctor Cheng came to ask for a pulse." ”

Not to mention the imperial doctor, the hospital envoy also came to the house to ask for a pulse, but I didn't see the old lady introduce her like this, and called her over to see her.

Imperial Doctor Cheng stepped forward to salute Rong Hua, and Rong Hua returned the salute.

The old lady looked at Rong Hua with a smile and said: "It is not easy to invite the imperial doctor on weekdays, but today is just right, let the imperial doctor Cheng ask you for a pulse and see how it is." ”

Rong Hua smiled slightly, and didn't say anything else, just responded obediently, and then went into the side room, asked people to put the tent, and asked the imperial doctor to come and see the pulse.

The imperial doctor's fingers rested on the handkerchief, and Rong Hua's heart couldn't help but feel a little confused.

After a while, the imperial doctor stood up, saluted and went out to talk to the old lady, "The young lady is very good. ”

The old lady smiled, "Their young bodies are also fine, unlike us who are always uncomfortable, and the medicine can't be stopped, and it's just these things every day, and nothing else is interesting." ”

The imperial doctor said respectfully: "The old lady only needs to recuperate for a while, and she will be fine." ”

Rong Hua came out of the house, and the old lady smiled: "After all, I am old, no matter how good it is, it is not as good as before." ”

The imperial doctor took out the pill from the medicine box, "This is the medicine that the old lady often takes to nourish the blood and calm the nerves." ”

The imperial doctor presented the pills, and the old lady opened the pill box and took out a pill and put it in her mouth, and said with a smile: "These pills are all the same flavor," said and looked at Rong Hua with a smile, "This medicine is also good for you to eat." ”

Rong Hua saw those pills, "I'm most afraid of taking medicine, but I'm afraid it's also bitter, right?" ”

Imperial Doctor Cheng said: "This medicine is not bitter. ”

Rong Hua looked at the old lady, picked up the pill and ate it, and said after eating: "Sure enough, it's sweet, not bitter at all." ”

The old lady was amused, "You kid." ”

The old lady asked people to take the silver money and give it to Imperial Doctor Cheng, and then sent Imperial Doctor Cheng away.

Rong Hua stayed to talk to the old lady.

The old lady looked very tired, "Would the old lady want to rest for a while?" ”

The old lady shook her head, "I was resting in the house all day long, but I still got sick, and it was the root of the illness that fell when I was young. ”

What does this mean?

Rong Hua persuaded: "It's going to be fine, as long as you recuperate slowly, it will be fine after a long time." ”

The old lady glanced sideways at Rong Hua, with a calm smile on her face, and the light flashed in her eyes until the bottom of her eyes. The old lady patted Rong Hua's hand.

The two of them entered the inner room, Rong Hua took the lotus pillow and leaned on the old lady, Xiangyu brought a cup of soup, Rong Hua waited for the old lady to drink, rinsed her mouth with water, and wiped the corners of her mouth with a soft silk.

The old lady's face was still not very good, and she sighed for a long time, "How is Mingrui's side?" ”

Rong Hua said: "Master Hou said that this is the flood season. ”

The old lady said: "Hard work is inevitable, and the embankment is also dangerous, you haven't heard of it when you're young, and a lot of people died in the Gyeonggi flood last time." ”

Rong Hua nodded, "I've also heard that Master Hou's errand is very important. ”

The old lady raised her head and glanced at Rong Hua again, "Most of Ming Rui's errands in the past few years have been like this, and Su Xiyao's case last time also offended many people, and I don't know what the imperial court thinks." ”

Rong Hua did not avoid this topic, but said: "My daughter-in-law also heard that the case is extremely difficult to handle, if it is handled strictly, it will offend people, and if it is loose, I will be sorry for the court. This Gyeonggi defense, although it is a chore, is not a random can be done by anyone, and I think I have some trust in Hou Ye. ”

The old lady looked at the gentle Mrs. Wu Muhou, and her face gradually showed surprise, it was not easy to see this layer.

These two errands seem to be thankless, but each one is important, if you don't trust a person at all and you won't hand over such an errand to him, Mingrui's efforts over the years have not been in vain.

The old lady said: "Mingrui is a smart child, too smart and sometimes he may suffer some setbacks. Sometimes it's not just about doing it yourself, you have to know that people are terrible. ”

Rong Hua nodded.

The old lady said, "You are still young, you must be calm in case of trouble," she said and closed her eyes again, as if to say something unrelated, "My brother, King Xuan, who was convicted and imprisoned, is gone this morning." ”

Rong Hua was slightly startled.

King Xuan, who was imprisoned, the imperial doctor who suddenly came to ask for a pulse today, the old lady's cautious expression, and the meaningful words to her, all of these were put on......

The old lady said: "The news will not spread too quickly, it is estimated that everyone will know later today." ”

Rong Hua thought of Xue Mingrui, who left in a hurry in the morning, and vaguely guessed in his heart...... It's just why, the above seems to be more targeted at Xue Mingrui alone.
