Chapter 22: Sickness
From Ning Cui's mouth, Su Su knew that it was actually the night of the second day.
It turned out that at dawn in the morning, the little maid who fetched water for Su Su had seen the hour, and Su Su had not opened the door to ask for water, which had never happened before. Busy asking someone to call Yang Liu, Yang Liu hurriedly found her mother-in-law and knocked open the door, at that time Su Su on the bed was already burned in a mess, and began to talk nonsense, and her hands were hot when she touched her whole body.
Yang Liu hurriedly reported to the old lady, and hurriedly asked someone to invite the old doctor who was resident in the mansion.
The old doctor was dragged by several mothers-in-law, almost shouting "indecent", thinking that the old lady was sick, but only on the way did he know that Su Su was sick, no wonder these mothers-in-law were so anxious.
This Susu girl is the first proud person around the old lady, and in terms of heart, it is that several granddaughters are far behind, and she looks like a fairy, but just by looking at her face, she knows that there is a deficiency brought from her mother's womb.
When the old doctor arrived at Sui'an Hall, he secretly said that it was not good when he saw Su Su's appearance, he didn't know how long it had been burned, and it would be stupid to burn it if he continued to burn it.
The old doctor didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly cut his pulse and said: "Miss Susu has a deficiency disease, and this fever is caused by too much worry and the root of the disease in the body, so we must quickly reduce the fever and then use medicine to recuperate." Please ask the old lady to quickly send someone to find spirits and wipe the body of Miss Susu, especially the neck socket and armpits, until the fever subsides, and the old man will prescribe a prescription to grab the medicine. ”
The old lady hurriedly ordered, and soon the mother-in-law brought the spirits, and Yang Liu Bisi kept wiping Su Su's body.
Sui Antang's movement also alarmed everyone in the third room, and they were relieved to know that it was not the old lady who was sick. Knowing Su Su's status in the old lady's heart, the third lady also opened the door of convenience, and the precious medicinal materials in the pharmacy were taken with the old doctor, and Mama Qin persuaded the old lady to go back to the main room, lest she be too sick, but the old lady waited for Su Su to subside from the fever before being persuaded by Ning Cui and the three to go back.
After Ning Cui finished speaking, she saw Su Su's red eyes and said, "But don't drop the gold beads, if you really understand the old lady and our hearts for you, just relax your heart, don't hold everything in your heart, and take care of your illness." I'll go over and talk to the old lady first, lest she worry about her stomach and eat sweet. ”
Bi Si also said: "I'll go to the small kitchen to see, Mama Xing left you food." At this time, Su Su's stomach screamed a few more times, which made the other three laugh.
Only Yang Liu and Su Su were left in the room, Su Su took Yang Liu's hand and said, "Good sister, it's me who is not good, don't be angry!" Yang Liu sighed and said: "Where am I angry, you have had the right idea since you were a child, this time you are too worried, I think you are going to scare us to death!"
"Bah, what is not dead, my sister will talk nonsense!" Su Su's appearance made Yang Liu cry and laugh, "You don't have to divert the topic, if you don't want to say it, no one will force you to say it, anyway, the old lady and we all know it, it must be related to Mother Zhao." ”
Su Su's face froze, and countless thoughts turned in his heart, and then he smiled bitterly: "Mother Zhao originally had some relationship with my mother, otherwise she wouldn't have made a lot of effort to send me to the Song family, and she also recognized a good master like the old lady." Mother Zhao came back this time to say that she was old and would not come to the south in person in person, and second, to tell me that I still have a cousin alive, and that although his biological mother was only my distant aunt, she grew up under my grandmother's knees because of the death of both parents. ”
Su Su paused, and then said: "Only my aunt is really good-looking, and she was favored by the nobles, so she was forced to go back and be an aunt." My grandmother was also depressed because she couldn't protect my aunt, so she went away within a few years. This aunt is also red-faced, and she disappeared early, and she was cut off from our family. At that time, I was young, and I don't remember much, but when my father was critically ill, I mentioned a half-sentence that my aunt's family had turned things around when the saint ascended the throne, and the family beheaded and exiled, and I didn't know if my cousin was still alive or not. I always thought that I was a bare pole and had no relatives, and at this time a cousin popped up, and I didn't know how I felt. Listening to Su Su's words lightly and expressionlessly, Yang Liu felt the huge sadness on Su Su's body.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and Ning Cui helped the old lady in, behind her was Bi Si who was holding a tray, and Ning Cui and Bi Si's eyes were a little red.
Su Su was busy getting out of bed, but the old lady hurriedly stopped: "It's just better, don't move." Then he sat on the edge of the bed and touched Su Su's forehead, "It's not burning." Silly boy, I heard what I said just now, and I always felt that you were like a little adult, and when it came to things, you were too young to bear it. I also took such an idea to heart, and I was forced to get sick. If you really don't worry about your cousin, I'll let you three masters send someone to the northwest for a trip, okay? If you are not in a hurry, there is also our caravan that will pass through the northwest, but it will not be troublesome! ”
Su Su heard this, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, Su Su knows that you love me, but the government can't interfere in this matter, the slave and maid are no longer sensible, and they also know how many people in the capital were exiled back then." This cousin and slave have never seen it, where can we take even the slightest risk for him! The slave maid was worried in her heart, but she knew that there was such a relative in this world. If the old lady loves me, she will only wait for the slave to get rid of her nationality in the future, and ask the slave and maid to go and see it herself, but she will have this heart! ”
The old lady looked at this little girl who knew everything with a complicated expression, no wonder people often said, "Love is not long, wisdom will hurt", patted her hand, didn't say anything, but was very relieved in her heart, she didn't hurt her in vain, and this girl never let herself down.
The old lady felt that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when the time comes, the old lady, I will not only give you a naturalization, but also buy you a dowry and say a good husband!"
Su Su's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he looked at the other three people who were snickering, and said, "The slave is not in a hurry, these three are in a hurry!"
After a burst of laughter, Su Su's stomach protested again, Ning Cui and Yang Liu helped the old lady to go back to rest, it was almost ten o'clock, if it weren't for the old lady who really couldn't rest assured that Su Su would have to come and see it in person, she would have gone to bed by this time.
After the old lady left, Su Su ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge with a few small snacks, soothed the protesting stomach, and persuaded Bisi to go back to rest, and only breathed a sigh of relief when there was no one else in the house, and smiled bitterly.
From the beginning of taking over the identity of Soho, she expected that telling a lie would take countless lies to round the process, and now it is really a risk to put her brother on the bright side, but it is not without benefits, at least why he is sick and explains it, and he has a reason to leave his nationality and go to the northwest to find his brother in the future.
Now Su Su is fortunate that she is just a little maid, involving sensitive words such as "saint ascending the throne" and "exile from the family", even if the old lady loves her, she will not risk the future of the Song family, and the cousin of a little maid, who is obedient or concubine, is really a child of a wealthy family, and now he is just a military household, and there is no need to waste time to investigate.
Su Su lay in bed for half a month with this illness, and also took bitter medicine soup for half a month, as if he had some incurable disease, so Su Su had a headache when he saw the old doctor who came to diagnose his pulse.
The old lady also knew that Su Su's body was too weak, and she rewarded bird's nest, spiritual plants, fish maw, ginseng and no money, and asked the small kitchen to make food for Su Su in different ways, and Su Su gained weight in half a month. It wasn't until the old doctor spoke, it's almost okay, and it will be slowly adjusted in the future, and the decoction stopped, and Su Su, who was only happy, laughed when he saw people, making everyone dumbfounded.
Su Su is good, that is, he has seen a lot of artificial beauties in his previous life, and he has to narcissistically admire his appearance in this alluring city. On weekdays, Su Su rarely has such a bright smile in front of people, always a faint smile, softly speaking like a fairy, now so happy, is there a fairy in seconds!
Fortunately, he knew his own affairs, and Su Su was happy for a while, and then turned back into a tranquil little fairy, plus the thick bangs that were deliberately left, which covered up the three points of color. But the old lady sighed in her heart: the so-called beauty takes flowers as appearance, birds as sounds, moon as gods, jade as bones, ice and snow as skin, autumn water as posture, and poetry as heart. This kid can't hide it even if he is afraid.
After Su Su recovered from his illness, it was almost the mid-year festival on July 15, and the Song family began to be busy worshiping their ancestors and giving porridge at the gates of each city again.
Su Su and several people even accompanied the old lady to copy a hundred scriptures and sent them to the temple where the incense was strong.
During this period, Su Su also brought two little maids by his side, one was Wutong, and the other was Ning Cui's sister Ning Xiang. Although Ning Cui's father and mother are still in charge of the old lady's Zhuangzi, the old lady is in charge and has already deprived the two of them and Ning Cui's younger brother, otherwise Ning Xiang would not be able to follow Su Su.
Ning Xiang is seven years old this year, and she has just been on an errand, but the rules are very good, so it can be seen that Aunt Ning has also worked hard to teach at home. Different from Ning Cui's eight-sided exquisiteness, Ning Xiang is a little shy, in terms of temperament, she is like Bisi's sister, gentle and very careful, because she followed Su Su with Wutong, she became a good friend who talked about everything in a few days, because the lack of the third class has been filled, they are still rough maids, and they are somewhat out of place with others.
Yang Liu was in charge of these little maids, and he understood these situations the most, and said: "Except for Su Su, none of us have worked in the rough case for a year or two, and it is not without benefits, and it is good to sharpen our temperament." And the eight people in the rough room sleep in the Chase bunk, the most people are well-informed, and only warn the two children in advance, don't let people teach bad and change their temperament! ”
Although the two follow Su Su, Su Su does not restrain them on weekdays, but literacy and arithmetic for an hour a day are indispensable, and the two know that opportunities are rare and one is harder than the other.
Ning Xiang is more familiar with Su Su because of Ning Cui's relationship, "My mother said that the words of several sisters in the courtyard were taught by Sister Su Su, and Sister Su Su's knowledge is not as good as the gentleman in the school hall in the town!" ”
These words made the little girl Wutong worship Su Su even more. They also have a village school in the village, and they invited an old Xiucai to be a gentleman, but reading and literacy has never had anything to do with female children. Wutong didn't expect her stepmother to sell her, she was actually able to read and write, at this moment, Wutong was a little grateful to her stepmother.
Su Su listened to this childish words and smiled: "But I don't dare to compare with Mr." But it's enough to teach you. You follow me, reading and literacy are secondary, but the most important thing is heartfelt, the old lady is the most kind-hearted, serve the old lady well in the future, the benefits are still to come. ”
