Chapter 15: Digging a Pit
Old Mrs. Cui didn't wait for Cheng Jinsi to speak, and she didn't allow Lie Yun to say any more, and asked Cuizhu, "Cuizhu, what do you mean by this?" Why is Yun'er's disease related to Mrs., and you should explain in detail the cause and effect that you said. At this time, the old lady Cui had already lost her usual kind eyebrows and kind eyes on her face, and her words were cold, and she finally revealed the momentum of an old feudal monarch.
Cheng Jinsi also stared at Cuizhu without blinking, the brocade in his hand was already wrinkled, and he moved his body unnaturally, always feeling that Cuizhu's next words would be like the silver needle in the hand of Doctor Zhang who pierced the back of Lieyun's neck, but this time, it was himself who wanted to pierce it.
Cuizhu raised his head anxiously and looked around, and when he saw the annoyed and reproachful look on Lie Yun's face, he lowered his head in confusion, but for a moment, he raised his head again, as if he had made up his mind, and the words he said were clear, "Back to the old lady, the cold thing that the county lord eats every day that the doctor said is the cup of decoction that the lady personally sends to the county lord to drink in the purple courtyard every night!" After speaking, I only heard the sound of "bang", and the green bamboo head had been firmly knocked on the bluestone slab in front of Mrs. Cui.
Suddenly, a needle drop could be heard in the house.
After a while, I saw Cheng Jinsi's face flushed, and he was full of anger, and the cold dew beside him had his eyes wide open, gritted his teeth and shouted to Cuizhu who was kneeling on the ground, "Cuizhu, Madam usually treats the county lord like a jewel, and even the young lady and young master have crossed over, and you all see it in your eyes." Now the county lord is unwell, which is obviously caused by your poor care, and you dare to bite Mrs. Say, "What is your heart, and who has given you the courage to do this?" “
Cheng Jinsi's eyes were red at this time, but he didn't speak, but the grievances in his eyes were clearly visible.
Old lady Cui and old lady Cui even Cui Jing also looked incredulous.
"Cuizhu, although you have been in the Cui Mansion for a short time, you should also know that the decoction was brought by Jing'er and Jinsi to Yun'er for treatment three years ago. If Jinsi harms Yun'er's heart, why did he look for medicine for Yun'er in the first place? Besides, if Yun'er had tonight's symptoms because of this medicine, then why did she take the medicine for three years before she had an attack? Everything must be thought out clearly, otherwise, although my Cui Mansion treats people generously, I will never be merciful to those who dare to disrespect the master. I'm sure you've heard about it a year ago. It was Mrs. Cui who spoke, and at this time, Mrs. Cui collected her previous momentum, closed her eyes and twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, but it made people feel more depressed.
Mother was right. Madame would never do that. If Yun'er suffered this crime because of her inconsiderate care, as long as you tell the truth, even if you are guilty, you can also deal with it as appropriate. But if you are full of nonsense because you are afraid of being punished, then the Cui Mansion will not tolerate you. Cui Jing also said angrily, but he didn't see Cheng Jinsi hearing this, and there was a look of admiration in his eyes.
Lie Yun, who was sitting next to Old Lady Cui, was already sweating profusely, and took a few short breaths before finally speaking, "Cuizhu, don't say it again, quickly make amends to your aunt." As he spoke, he motioned to Zilan to help herself, but Mrs. Cui didn't let her, so Lieyun had no choice but to owe Cheng Jinsi on the couch, "Auntie, Yun'er has no way to discipline her subordinates, and Yun'er is really ashamed to collide with her aunt like this." Yun'er is here to make amends to her aunt. Aunt don't listen to Cuizhu's nonsense, it's just that Yun'er accidentally caught a cold, it's not a big deal, just recuperate for a few days......."
"County Lord, County Lord!" Cuizhu seemed to be unable to bear to listen to Lieyun anymore, let out a sad voice, walked to Lieyun's feet, and then looked up with tears on his face, "County Lord, how can it be okay, you didn't hear what Doctor Zhang said, this disease will, it will ......" Speaking of this, Cuizhu's face showed a strong look of regret, "It will damage the palace!" ”
Lie Yun listened, his eyes were full of ignorance, everyone in the Cui family and even Cui Jing were suddenly silent, but what Doctor Zhang said was so, only everyone patronized Lie Yun Shi needle and drank medicine, and then was busy looking for the cause of the disease, and they didn't think about it for a while.
Old Mrs. Cui put away the Buddha beads in her hand and sat up straight, "Cuizhu, what's wrong with the decoction?" ”
"Back to the old lady, there is nothing wrong with the decoction itself, and the county lord has not changed in the past three years. Only at the beginning of autumn this year, the county lord caught a cold at night and was dizzy for a few days, so the county lord didn't take it seriously, seeing that his wife was busy every day, and he didn't let us tell his wife. Half a month ago, I went to Tanji Temple, the night on the mountain was cold, and the county lord felt unwell that night, and got up in the middle of the night to vomit. That day, Mo Ju and Zilan went to wait for the county lord, Zilan somehow slept to death that night, "Speaking of this, Cuizhu looked at Zilan, Zilan had already lowered her head and knelt down, "And Mo Ju is a brainstorm, the county lord said that there was nothing to do, she believed that the county lord was fine, and the county lord said that there was no need to tell Mrs., so she really kept her mouth shut." When I came back to the house, even I didn't know what to say. ”
Cuizhu took a breath, and then said, "Until last night, it was me and Mo Ju who were on duty again, and at night the county lord slept unsteadily, tossing and turning as if in a dream, and in less than a moment, he was startled from the dream again, and the vomiting lasted for a quarter of an hour before stopping. At that time, Mo Ju told me that the county lord was already wrong in Tanji Temple. I was going to pay homage to my wife this morning, and I was annoyed that my wife asked a doctor to come and take a look at the county lord, but the county lord said that I was not allowed to go out of the purple courtyard. I hate Mo Ju's sloppiness, so I can only ask the county lord in every possible way why this is so. ”
Speaking of this, Cuizhu looked at Cheng Jinsi, "The county lord was forced by me to ask, so he said that it turned out that since the beginning of autumn, the days have become colder and colder, and the medicine sent to the Purple Courtyard every night has changed from warm to cold like the previous two years. The Purple Courtyard has its own small kitchen, and the county lord has the heart to let us heat up the medicine and drink it again, but every time the county lord sees that Mrs. has to see that she can drink the medicine with her own eyes before she can leave with peace of mind, the county lord can't bear to let Mrs. worry about fatigue anymore, and thinks of Sister Akiba and the old servants of Purple Courtyard who were sold for medicine a year ago, and the county lord can only let go of what he thinks in his heart and drink the medicine in the cup in one gulp. ”
"I thought that there was only a small cup of medicine, and I only took it once a day, although I felt cold in the first two years, but the county lord was not in serious trouble, so he didn't take it to heart, and the county lord didn't let the slaves know. Besides, the county lord is also ready to wait for the winter, so he will give his wife, the weather is cold, can he allow the small kitchen of the purple courtyard to boil medicine by himself this year, or if the lady is not at ease, it is okay to send Sister Hanlu to the purple courtyard every day to boil medicine for the county lord. Who would have thought," Cuizhu's eyes were wet again, "Who has thought, although the daily amount of medicine is small, it can't bear the cold in the county lord this year, and the cold has accumulated day by day in the past three years, and it suddenly broke out today, but it has harmed the county lord like this!" ”
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she sighed, "Jin Si, how could you be so negligent and send medicine to Yun'er every night, don't you know whether it's cold or hot?" What's more, the medicine is taken while it is hot, and the effect of the medicine is good, how can you, alas! ”
Cheng Jinsi listened to what Mrs. Cui said, and hurriedly looked at Cui Jing, only to see a flash of disappointment in Cui Jing's eyes, and Cheng Jinsi's heart suddenly seemed to be grabbed by a big palm.
Han Lu was puzzled at this time, how did he not know in the first two years, the autumn leaves had been disposed of, and there was no way to ask, but in the past year, every time he had boiled the medicine, he immediately sent it to the purple courtyard by his wife, even if it was autumn, it shouldn't be cold so quickly, is there something wrong?
glanced at Lie Yun, Han Lu's eyes rolled, and he said, "The old lady and the old lady, the old lady, the county lord, the slave and maid have asked the big kitchen to boil the county lord's medicine tonight, and now it must have been boiled, the county master is here with the old lady and the old lady, and the slave and maid will not send the medicine to the purple courtyard, and directly bring it to the Songhe Hall for the county lord to take." The big kitchen is about the same distance as the Songhe Hall and the Purple Courtyard, and the slave and maid will go back quickly. ”
After Han Lu finished speaking, he looked at Cheng Jinsi, hoping that Cheng Jinsi could hear the meaning of his words, and seeing Cheng Jinsi nodding at him, Han Lu walked out quickly. Whether the medicine is hot or cold, whether the Feiyun County Lord's illness tonight is caused by this medicine will be known later.
