Chapter 229: Spring Dream Leaves Traces
"Miss, Miss!" He Angelica heard the sound of cicada clothes above his head, and barely opened his eyes wide to look up, so this strange dream trembled twice, tore open a small opening, and squeezed into the round face of the cicada clothes from the mouth.
Cicada Yi approached with a shallow water bowl with lotus leaves and said, "Drink the medicine, drink it and then sleep, drink it in one go!" ”
He Angelica looked at the cicada clothes from the inside of the small mouth and asked puzzledly: "What kind of medicine do you drink?" What is the medicine? As she spoke, the medicine bowl had been stuffed into her mouth, so she was forced to swallow the sweet and sour medicinal soup in the bowl, and then a small bowl of mouthwash salt water was handed over, and she rinsed it as well.
Cicada Yi helped her move her position, changed her sheets and small clothes, and said loudly with a full heart: "Miss Qing came here just now, and the slave told her about the senior sister, and she said it didn't matter, it was wrapped up in her." Then she came to see you sleep, and found that something was wrong with you, and that you were talking something and writhing with your mouth pouting. We held you down, and you yelled, 'You two stop!' If you don't stop, I'll stone you!" It scared us. ”
He Angelica felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed in his head, and said slowly: "What I drank just now was astragalus wolfberry ginger soup?" ”
"That's right," Cicada Yi nodded and continued, "Later, just when we had nothing to do with you, the second young master came, originally he heard that you were going to leave while sleeping, but the slave maid remembered that he also read a lot of medical books in the medicine house, and often came to borrow books from you, so he must also know some medical skills, so he asked him to come and take a look at your illness." ”
"Second cousin...... Luo Bai and? He Angelica is still sluggish.
Cicada Yi laid out the sheets, helped He Angelica back to the bed, and said with a smile: "The second young master is really capable, as soon as I touch the pulse, I know that Miss You are infected with the wind cold, and you have a menstrual affair, and the distortion is caused by menstrual cramps, we looked under you, and sure enough, we saw that the sheets were dirty." The second young master boiled the medicine and left, instructing him to take ten pieces of medicine in a row to get rid of the cold, and said that he had just learned to make a kind of food tonic medicinal diet, which specializes in treating wind and cold, and sent it to you in the evening, so that you could leave some stomach for medicinal food - Anyway, Miss, your menstrual affair this time was four days in advance, and it was extremely punctual in the past, is it because there were too many hot springs this morning? ”
He Angelica didn't feel that his body was abnormal, but as soon as he heard that he was infected with wind and cold, he immediately felt that his body was deep and his eyes were sluggish. She frowned deeply, and said in her heart, since she has internal strength, her body is very strong, but I don't know if it's a coincidence, every time she gets sick, there are always bad things happening around her.
Last time, I contracted a throat disease, and I coughed for half a month, and suddenly I heard about my mother's encounter with robbers on the way back from the Taoist temple. Last time, I was also infected with a cold, not sick, but a sick man, the whole person became extremely weak, and as a result, she was attacked by a cold arrow at the dragon boat meeting, and Qing'er, who was dressed in water, helped her block an arrow, and turned around on the ghost gate in a thrilling way. It was this time that the relationship between her and Qing'er made qualitative progress, and they revealed each other's deepest secrets.
In short, she gradually couldn't help but have the idea that her illness was a signal, a sign of bad luck. Weakly poured on the chrysanthemum pillow, and added a quilt to her layer by layer of cicada clothes, she thought for a moment and asked, "Has the old lady's guest arrived?" Has the party started? ”
Cicada Yi smiled: "But what about asking, Miss, who do you guess the old lady's guest is?" couldn't get the other party's cooperation, so Cicada Yi revealed the riddle, "Do you remember Baoding Bo?" Baoding Bo Mengshan! ”
"Uncle Baoding is coming to Luofu as a guest again?" He Angelica's nose was overflowing with the fragrance of chrysanthemums from the pillow, but for some reason, she always felt that there was a little tea fragrance around her, which was Meng Xuan's exclusive taste, which she had just reviewed yesterday.
Cicada Yi tucked the quilt corner for her, and said excitedly: "It's not Baoding Bo, but the third and seventh sons of Baodingbo's family, miss, do you remember the handsome Xuan Qigongzi?" He lived in our house twice a few years ago, and at that time he often went to the next Xichang Garden to play with the Peng family's son, passing by our door, causing the girls in our yard to lie on the door and peek at him. This time he came to Luofu as a guest again, and I heard others say that wherever he went, the maids in our house did not stop their work and ran to see him. ”
He Angelica's eyes were astringent, he yawned and closed his eyes and asked, "What other gossip has been circulated by others?" What are these two sons of the Meng family doing in Yangzhou? ”
Cicada Yi shook her head: "I haven't heard of it, but the two sons both mentioned you, Miss, and asked to find you together, so the old lady asked Pomegranate to call you, but when she saw that you had a fever and were unconscious, she went to reply empty-handed." ”
He Angelica frowned: "Meng Xuan and ...... Meng Ying is looking for me? What are you looking for me? ”
Cicada Yi replied tirelessly: "Listen to Pomegranate, three years ago, the seventh prince came to Luofu as a guest, and once played a game of chess with Miss You, and drank a cup of tea made by Miss You. And the old lady thought that you had a shoulder injury yesterday and it was inconvenient to see guests, so she politely refused, and the seventh prince was okay, but the third prince was a famous chess addict who liked to play against all kinds of chess masters. The third prince said that most of the time it was difficult for him to win from the seventh prince, and at this moment I heard that Miss You have played chess with the seventh prince, and you have a record of one win and one draw, so I have to ask you for a few games anyway. ”
He Angelica yawned again, summoned the sleepy insect that had just been driven away, and asked dimly: "The pomegranate went to reply empty-handed, was the old lady's guest sent away?" ”
"Uh-huh," Cicada Yi said negatively while putting down the gauze tent, "Later, Pomegranate came over again to spread the word that the third prince heard that you were sick, and immediately said that there was no hurry in the next day or two, he could wait for you to get better before going down." However, Pomegranate revealed that listening to the meaning of his words, he didn't believe that you had real talent and learning, and now he is cowardly so he is pretending to be sick. ”
He Angelica snorted: "It is worthy of being the eldest son of the brave and warlike Baoding Bo, who was born to fight cocks, and he has never even seen me, so he regards me as an imaginary enemy." Why am I cowardly, I'm a deep lady who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, and it's not a shame to lose to a well-educated person like him. Hmm, did the Seventh Prince say anything? "Why did Meng Xuan bring his brother to Luofu as a guest? Anyway, it won't be to visit her.
Cicada Yi replied: "The seventh prince didn't insist on playing chess with you, but he turned a teacup and complained that the tea had no taste." So, the old lady summoned the two masters who taught the second lady tea art in the house to rebrew the tea, but he was still not satisfied with it, saying that the most memorable thing about the last trip to Yangzhou was the cup of tea that was drunk in Luofu, and it was a pity to leave this time if he couldn't drink it. ”
He Angelica smiled silently and asked, "So, the hospitable old lady must not be able to eat after hearing this, right?" ”
"Miss, you are so smart," Cicada Yi's facial expression suddenly became extremely vivid, and he covered his mouth and said with a snicker, "The two Meng Gongzi felt that they were really not happy to visit today, so they said that although they also have another courtyard on the outskirts of Yangzhou, they are far away from shopping in the city every day, so they want to borrow our house for two days during their stay in Yangzhou." The old lady naturally refused, lest she neglect the two Meng Gongzi, and wanted to clean up the old lady's Tingzhu Courtyard for them to live in, but the seventh prince said that he preferred the Xichang Garden where the Peng family's sons lived in the past, so the old lady promised to let people clean the Xichang Garden and give the two sons a stay. Cicada's expression seemed to have picked up gold, "Miss! Xichang Garden is next door to our house, and we can often see the two Meng Gongzi in and out in the future! I heard that the third son is better looking than the seventh son! ”
Cicada Yi waited for a long time and couldn't wait for He Angelica's reaction, thinking that she was asleep, and was about to order a soothing incense to withdraw, but suddenly heard her ask: "Is there any strange person in our yard today?" Or, are there any people in our own yard who look different from usual? ”
Cicada Yi was confused when she heard it: "It's different? The only difference is you, Miss, you suddenly had this serious illness, and even your mouth was sick and swollen. ”
"Huh?" He Angelica's fingers touched his lips, and his eyes opened in response, "What did you say?" Is my mouth swollen? ”
Cicada Yi took out the glass mirror from the bedside table and handed it to her, saying, "When Miss Qing and I entered the door to see you, we saw you pouting, your lips were red and swollen. I told her not to talk nonsense, I told her that you are fine before you go to bed, and that your mouth must be sick and swollen. ”
In the crisp voice of the cicada's clothes, the cold and crystalline water mirror illuminated a small cherry red mouth, red and swollen, if it wasn't for just eating a few catties of chili peppers, it seemed that someone had sucked it hard before...... Could it be that eating too much barbecue is on fire? He Angelica only took two photos, then put the mirror under the pillow and said: "I'm very sleepy, there is no big thing when the sky falls, don't come to wake me up, I want to sleep enough." After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm not used to sleeping alone during the day, so you can accompany me in the outer room." ”
Cicada Yi agreed and walked to the wooden table outside, took out the half-beaten crystal beads from the dustpan and continued to fight, and then complained in a low voice: "Miss, you are really not honest when you sleep, when you came to see it, not only did you kick the quilt, but even half of the bedclothes were torn apart, and there was still half a window open in the house. The wind is strong in winter, and when I went out before, I obviously plugged in the window bolt...... "Before the words fell, I saw her young lady bounce up from the bed. Cicada Yi was startled, covered her mouth and apologized, "I made you sleep?" Don't worry, I'll just shut up. ”
He Angelica staggered out of the bed tent, hurriedly put on his soft shoes and said, "I'll go to the toilet, you are busy with yours, don't pay attention to me." ”
She stumbled into the shower, closed the door and lowered the curtain, spread out the water mirror in her palm, and carefully looked at her red and swollen lips, and then went to look at other places she couldn't see. The water mirror rested on her waist behind her, where a vague palm-shaped mark was printed, and she tried to place her hand on it...... The fingers of the mark were an inch longer than her hand and foot, and it was a mark from a hand much larger than hers!
…… Under what circumstances would someone put a hand on her waist?
Her mind was coldly pounded by the pain of high fever, she hurriedly threw away the mirror, quickly took off her pants and took a closer look, repeatedly confirming that she was really coming to menstruation, Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully examined her body again, and made sure that there were no other similar marks except for the handprint, and that there was no unusual feeling in her body, so she slowly put on her clothes and slowly returned to the embroidered couch in the inner room to lie down.
Wrapped tightly in the quilt, looking at the beaded cicada clothes through the bed curtain and heavy bead curtains, He Angelica secretly said that it was because he burned out his brain that such absurd thoughts would come up, how could there be flower thieves patronizing the heavily guarded Luo Mansion? How can you familiarly touch the Taoyao Courtyard in the depths of the house? What happened between the man in the silver mask and the girl with the same appearance as her was nothing more than a spring dream, and there was no trace after waking up from the dream, and that's it. All traces are the result of nightmares, it must be.
