Chapter 12 [The Return of the Soul]
"Don't, don't leave me, Mom, woo woo woo......" Jun Yi, who was sleeping quietly on the bed, suddenly cried, and his body kept struggling. βHou Ye Xu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was startled, grabbed her shoulders and called her name: "Miss Ye, Miss Ye,......"
Junyi suddenly felt that she had caught up with her mother, so she jumped up and hugged her tightly, crying: "Don't leave me, I'm so lonely, I'm so scared to woo woo woo ......"
Xu Houye let Junyi hold him, patted her back rhythmically with his hand, and comforted softly: "Okay, good, don't leave you, be good, don't cry, don't cry......"
Seeing this, Yin Chong, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, frowned, and said to his son, "Quick, put the incense stick at the bottom of the box on the spot, quickly." When the middle-aged man heard this, he quickly took the incense and lit it. The old man took the incense and walked to the bedside, and wrapped the incense around Junyi, Junyi's crying gradually became quieter, and finally fell asleep in the arms of the Hou Ye again. Seeing that she was quiet, Hou Ye Xu gently put her on the bed again.
"Come here." Xu Houye whispered to the old man Yin Chong and asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't you say you would wake up in an hour? How so?"
"Master Hou, this new lady's soul is afraid that two souls and four souls have left her body, and now she doesn't know where to float to be stimulated, so this is the case." Yin Chong replied.
"Nonsense, don't want to trick me" Xu Houye was furious, waited for a while, thought about it, and said: "If that's the case, then what now?"
"Alas," the old man sighed, "fortunately, I still have the requiem incense given by the witch god of my clan, but I only have one branch, and I don't know whether it will be used or not, so I can only obey the destiny of heaven and do my best."
"Bold, you ......"
"However, since this requiem incense is regarded as a holy relic by our people, it must have its peculiarities. The two grandsons of mine ......" The old man saw that Marquis Xu was angry, and hurriedly curry favor.
"What's so strange?"
"When the witch god gave it to the old man, he once said that as long as this person has a soul that is safe, the soul incense can bring the departed soul back to the body, and the person can be brought back to life." Old man Yin said.
"If this is the case, you should rest assured that as soon as the new lady wakes up, your two grandsons will be safe." Hou Ye Xu said that he would not look at him again, and then went to the bedside - sat down on the Taishi chair and rubbed his forehead with his hand.
It was three days after Ye Junyi really woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a man sitting on the edge of her bed with his head hanging and falling asleep. She called, "Mama Li." The man was suddenly awakened, looked up and saw that she was awake, and jumped up from his chair at once.
"Miss Ye, are you awake?" The man's eyes lit up and he walked over, his thin face stubbled with a mustache.
Jun Yi fixed his eyes and saw that it was Marquis Xu. As soon as she saw this man, she remembered the events of the wedding night, and saw him so sloppy, and she felt a chill in her heart, and immediately turned her head away and stopped looking at him. Seeing her like this, Hou Ye Xu was also self-aware, so he hurriedly stayed away from her and shouted, "Madam Li, Madam is awake, come in and serve Madame Hou." β
When Mama Li heard this, she rushed in from the outhouse and pulled Junyi to cry, shouting one by one.
The master and servant were hugging each other and crying, Qiu Ju didn't know when she had come in with ginseng soup, and sobbed: "Mama, Madame has just woken up, and her body is still weak, let Madame take ginseng soup first."
"Yes, yes, come," Li wiped his tears, and brought the ginseng soup to feed Junyi to drink: "Hurry up and take the ginseng soup, it is the best for nourishing blood and qi."
"Mama, I don't want to drink soup, I want to eat some porridge." Jun Yi said weakly. In fact, she is not completely unconscious these days, but she can't open her eyes in a drowsy state, and she also knows what the people next to her are doing. In the past few days, they have asked her to take some ginseng soup every hour, but now she only feels empty in her stomach and doesn't want to use ginseng soup anymore.
"Qingyu," Hou Ye Xu called Qingyu to come in, "Go and bring some barley porridge stewed for the old lady in the kitchen, go and come back quickly." β
Qingyu wentβand brought porridge after a while, and Li took it and fed Junyi a full bowl. When Hou Ye Xu saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Jun Yi felt much better after eating, so he said, "Qiu Ju opened the window, I want to breathe." β
"No," Li stopped, "Madame's body is still very weak, and she can't blow the wind." β
"Alas," Junyi sighed, "Mama, I'm so bored, even if I'm going to die, let me look at the sky outside." β
"Bah, bah," said Li, with red eyes, "open the window, open the window, how can you say such unlucky words." If the lady really has something long and two short, the old slave will also ........" After speaking, he tried to cry, walked over and opened the wooden window halfway.
Immediately outside the window came a few small birds chirping, at this time the spring is strong, a tree of cherry blossoms is facing this window, the pink flowers are blooming, a wisp of spring breeze blowing, bringing the fragrance of cherry blossoms, refreshing, making people feel happy. It's a brand new day. Junyi insisted on moving to the couch under the window and half-reclining. Originally, she thought that she was living in a courtyard house surrounded by walls, but she didn't want to see a large garden outside the window, and the garden was full of pink cherry blossoms, and a small green grass grew strong in the soil under the cherry blossom trees.
Junyi asked Chunlan to find the book in the cage and recline to flip through it.
"Qiu Ju, how long have I been asleep?" Jun Yi asked Qiu Ju, who was waiting on the side.
"Madame slept for three days and three nights! We were in a hurry, and Mama Li was about to cry. There are ........" Qiu Ju glanced at Jun Yi and said, "There is also Master Hou, Master Hou has been guarding Mrs. Bedside for three days and three nights." β
"Hmph." Jun Yi snorted and did not speak.
"Madame is not all asleep, after sleeping for a while, she will cry for a while, Hou Ye, Hou Ye has always been by her side. Madam, this matter ,........" Qiu Ju glanced at Jun Yi again, gritted her teeth and continued, "Could there be anything strange about this matter?" I think, I think ........."
"Qiu Ju, this entry into the Hou Gate is as deep as the sea, and people's hearts are unpredictable, here, only Mama Li, Chunlan and you are the people I can trust, if you have anything to say, just say it." Jun Yi said lightly.
"Yes, ma'am." Qiu Ju bit her pink lip, approached Jun Yi and whispered, "That green jade and blue jade, but waiting for the Hou Ye's room, you can get three points of courtesy when you see her in the future." β
Jun Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't speak.
Qiu Ju said: "In the past few days, the lady has been sleeping and waking up, everyone in the garden has been grounded, and no one is allowed to enter outside, only Qingyu and Qian can enter and exit, and all the food and chores are handled by the two of them." It was also very inconvenient for the slave maid to inquire about something, so she could only ask Juanxiu to help the people in the garden make needles and take advantage of the situation to chatter. Although this Qian family is young, she has won the trust of the old lady and the Hou Ye, and she is responsible for everything in the inner courtyard. Everyone in the palace is called Aunt Ying, and the means are very good, and there is no one in the Yasukuni Mansion who is not afraid of her, even those aunts have to listen to her arrangements. β
This Nuoda Yasukuni Marquis Mansion is actually a subordinate in charge?
"But I heard that this Aunt Ying is very tricky?" Jun Yi pulled the hem of his clothes and asked.
"I heard that if people don't go against the rules of the Hou Mansion at all, they are either killed or sold to brothels as prostitutes. Those aunts also need to strictly abide by some rules, otherwise they will be grounded at least, or locked up in a dark room, locked up for three or two days, eat, drink, and live in Lazar, and finally admit their mistakes before they can come out. It is said that these aunts are all noble concubines, and they are all very arrogant when they come, and they are cleaned up by Aunt Ying a few times back and forth, and they all strictly abide by the rules of the Hou Mansion. Qiu Ju squatted on the edge of the couch and whispered.
"This Qian family is like this, is it difficult for Master Hou not to do it?" Junyi asked again.
"Madame doesn't know, this Hou Ye is not in the Hou Mansion nine times out of ten in January, and the people in the mansion are actually rare. When you go home, you don't smile, and you don't like to have people who don't conform to the rules. After a pause, he added, "Aunts are no exception, and they even see Master Hou less than their subordinates." β
"Oh, so what?"
"The slave has seen Aunt Ying." Chunlan, who was standing by the door, said loudly, "Madam, Aunt Ying is here." β
Qiu Ju hurriedly stopped and stood in front of the couch. Junyi lies flat with his eyes slightly closed.
"The slave has seen the lady." The Qian family blessed Jun Yi on the couch, "The slave maid heard that Mrs. is also very good?"
Soon after coming to his senses, he was "all right"?
Halfway, Jun Yicai opened his eyes slightly: "Oh, ....... are you?"
"The slave Qian Hongying is the steward of the house." Qian stood in front of the bed and replied.
"Oh, Mama Qian? Is there anything wrong with Mama Qian?" Jun Yi glanced at Qian and said weakly.
On the wedding night, Jun Yi did not look at this woman closely, today I saw her only about thirty, looking - a white and pure melon seed face, wearing a light purple long skirt made of Suzhou Gong forging, ear hanging green charms, wrist wear jade bracelets, hands wearing red gold rings, snow white neck is a string of crystal clear South China Sea pearls! Where is this slave and maid, it is clearly more master than the master!
Qian was not embarrassed when she heard her grandmother, and still replied respectfully: "Today is the fourth day of the wedding of the master and his wife, according to the rules, three days after the new lady marries into her husband's house, she should go back to her mother's house to live for half a month, and now the eldest son of Zhou is in the hall of the mansion to take his wife back to the Zhou mansion."
"Back to my aunt, my wife is still weak and can't get off the ground, how can I ......" Chunlan listened by the door and hurriedly ran over to say.
"Shut up, this is a place for you to interject, go down." After Qian scolded Chunlan, he said to Jun Yi aloud: "As the saying goes, marry a chicken with a chicken, Mrs. has married Hou Ye as his wife, and everything should be based on Hou Ye." Madame said that the slave maid is reasonable? β
"Mama Qian's words should be reasonable, but I don't know what Madame and I can do with this broken body?" Jun Yi said weakly.
