Chapter 199 Sharing her mother's worries is what a daughter should do
"Fourth Miss, is that Miss Shan okay?" Shu Lishu asked with concern, "I've been stuffy in the box, don't suffocate people, it's better to give me the box, let me transport it out of the house, and find a safe place to hide." β
"Shh-" Dong Qianmo made a silent gesture, "This kind of thing should never be mentioned in the future, the eldest prince only when I have never asked you." β
"What does that mean?" Shu Lishu asked puzzled.
Dai raised his eyebrows, and Dong Qianmo said with a smile: "Haven't you forgotten that eldest sister is a prisoner of the imperial court!" The people who are going to be arrested by the guards have to be dug out even if they dig three feet into the ground, what place can be safer than the Taishi Mansion? After all, they've already searched here. β
"That makes sense," Shu Lishu nodded and said earnestly, "That single girl will be entrusted to the care of Miss Yu." β
"It's incumbent on you, why should the eldest prince be polite."
"Miss Fourth is really a good person."
"The eldest prince has a good reputation."
Shu Lishu proposed to take a look at "Monolingual Tang" again, but Dong Qianmo also refused. For the sake of the safety of "Monolingual Tang", Shu Lishu promised to cooperate with Dong Qianmo in the future.
After sending away this nerd, May came in and said, "Mama Gu asked the fourth lady to clean up and go to live in Fushenyuan." β
Dong Qianmo asked: "What did my mother tell me, did she say it?" β
May said: "Madame is not feeling well, and the second and third ladies are not in the house, so I ask the fourth and fifth ladies to go over to serve the decoction." β
After a pause, Dong Qianmo said: "This is supposed to be, just give me a simple burden." β
May was worried: "Miss has never served anyone, what can she do when she goes?" Why don't you bring the slave and the peach branch over, you can get the decoction and decoction. β
Dong Qianmo smiled and said: "That's not good, in case you serve too well, let your mother or Ju Mama take a fancy to me, and ask me for someone, I am still reluctant to give it." Besides, if you use a maid to serve tea and water, how can you show the benefits of raising a daughter at home. β
May asked, "So, doesn't Miss bring anyone with you?" β
Dong Qianmo thought for a while and said, "There seems to be a Mama Tian in our yard, let her go with me." β
May reminded her: "Mama Tian is a person of a lot of age, she can't hold a bowl when she eats, and she can't even hold a cup when she drinks water, so let's change someone." "The housekeeper put such an old and useless, temperamental and difficult grandmother in Fengyuzhai, and he had the intention of bullying the fourth lady.
"That's her." Dong Qianmo said.
********
"Mother, you look so bad, you might as well go back to bed and lie down." A fifteen-year-old girl wearing a light pink double butterfly cloud-shaped thousand water skirt, holding a moxa strip with green smoke in her hand, her expression is innocent and delicate, it is Dong Lianyue.
"Does mother eat oranges? The taste of tangerine is fragrant and refreshing, and it is especially effective for headaches. The sixteen-year-old girl wearing a white gauze skirt, a light bow tied with a blue soft cigarette around her waist, and a light Luo fan between her fingers is Dong Qianmo.
Saying this, she peeled the orange, put an orange petal in her mouth, frowned, and said, "Mother's orange here is not sweet, dry and without juice." Why are those people so lazy? Even my mother's things dare to be deducted! β
Ju Mama said with a smile: "The fourth lady is too worried, there is less rain this year, and it is understandable that the quality of oranges is worse than in previous years." β
Dong Qianmo said disapprovingly: "I can't see it, Aunt Tang gave me a basket of oranges this morning, all of them are sweet. juice, it can be seen that it is not that the oranges on the market are bad, but that the good things are not sent to the mother. β
"How can such a thing happen?" Mama Ju was surprised.
"Look, Mommy." Dong Qianmo's sleeve rolled out a golden and lovely tangerine, and when his snow-white fingers peeled it off, the aroma of tangerine suddenly overflowed, much more fragrant than the fruit bowl taken out of the table before.
Ju Mama glanced at Song on the chaise longue and did not speak.
Song sighed slowly: "The subordinates, they are all used to praising the high and stepping on the low, they see that Aunt Tang has a brighter future than me, of course, they all rush to stammer." β
Dong Lianyue retorted crisply: "It's not such a thing, my mother casually raises a finger, and it is thicker than my aunt's waist, those little people with shallow knowledge should give them a little color!" β
Song shook his head and said, "Forget it, this will have a headache, ignore it." Little five, you sing a tune to your mother. Little four, you go to the Bogu shelf to find a hammer to beat your mother's legs, it's sour and rising. β
"Yes." The two daughters responded in unison, and their voices were as soft as spring grass.
Dong Lianyue chose a "Lotus Picking Girl", and the song was low and tactful at the beginning, which was very beautiful.
Dong Qianmo came to the Bogu shelf, searched for each grid, and only had a small white jade hammer inlaid with pearls on the top layer, which at first glance was the kind that could only be used for playing, not for pounding the body.
Song asked her to beat her body with this, what kind of name is it?
"Fourth Miss, hurry up, Madame called you." The maid behind him whispered an urge.
"Just come."
Dong Qianmo stepped on the stool, took the jade hammer, and started it with a warm and crystalline hand, which can be called a good instrument that can be appreciated and played, but there is no imperial seal on it, so it cannot be a royal gift. What was the purpose of the Song family asking her to break this?
With such a question, Dong Qianmo sat on the footstool under the concubine's bed, and beat Song's legs with Dong Lianyue's singing.
Song squinted his eyes and said that the strength of the leg beating was too small and it was too hard, so Dong Qianmo increased his strength, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", and the jade hammer was broken into two and damaged.
Dong Qianmo picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was hollow, and there seemed to be a paper roll in it. With the help of the wide sleeves, she quietly hid the paper roll, and then with a low cry, the jade that had been broken into two pieces fell to the ground, shattering even more completely.
"Qianmo, why are you so careless," Song sat up from the couch and said angrily, "If you break it, it doesn't count, it will fall into pieces again!" You're in trouble! β
"How much is this jade hammer worth? Isn't it something to be rewarded in the palace? Dong Qianmo asked worriedly.
"Alas," Song picked up a piece of broken jade, and said distressedly, "This white jade hammer is the old lady's beloved thing, usually even I can't touch it, two days ago the blue pearl on it loosened one, the old lady asked me to choose the best craftsman to repair, after repairing, it was deliberately placed on the top layer of the Bogu shelf, and the old lady sent someone to take it." You kid, how did you get enough of this thing? β
Song squinted his eyes before, and he didn't open them until this moment, with an anxious and angry look on his face.
Dong Lianyue, who was singing, had already stopped, her eyes wide open, and she looked at this scene nervously.
Dong Qianmo lowered his head and said: "My daughter was reckless, and asked her mother to say good things to the old lady, just say that I didn't mean it." β
Song thought about it, and then said: "Okay, those who don't know are not guilty, my mother knows that you really didn't mean it." Speaking of the style of this jade hammer is also ordinary, I just have a handful of similar here, just make a little change, it is exactly the same as the broken jade hammer. β
Dong Qianmo hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you mother for your forgiveness." β
Song nodded and said: "You are a good child, my mother likes a good child the most, you tell your mother, why did your second sister stay in the palace and not come out?" I haven't seen it for a few days, and I always feel empty. β
Dong Qianmo blinked, thought for a while and said, "Mother, don't worry, no matter how much the Queen Mother likes to listen to the second sister play the piano, she can't help but let the second sister be filial." Now that my mother is so sick, I went to ask the princess's cousin to take me into the palace and told the queen mother, and the second sister came back. β
Song reached out and patted Dong Qianmo's shoulder, and said with relief: "It's still Qianmo who knows my mind best, so let's do it." β
Dong Qianmo said: "Then my daughter will go to the palace." β
"No hurry, no hurry." Song said quietly, "The root of my illness has always been there, and it's not that Xuanying can get better when she comes back." β
"My mother always doesn't care much about herself, since there is a root cause of the disease, she should find a good doctor, and it is right to take a few patches of medicine." Dong Lianyue persuaded.
"Don't you sisters know the situation at home, where is there a day of leisure?" Song looked at Dong Qianmo with a smile, and said in a homely manner, "When it comes to seeing a doctor, the most rare thing is to find a good doctor, two days ago, I easily found a female doctor surnamed Shan, and I have a special hand in pushing the blood in the palace, so I was relieved twice, and the root of the disease for many years has almost gone a small half, alasββ"
Dong Qianmo asked: "Then my mother should be happy, why is she still sighing?" β
Song said sadly: "At the banquet yesterday, there was a little misunderstanding between our house and Xiao Wei, and before he could say a good word, Xiao Wei actually took Dr. Shan away by mistake for a suspicious person. β
Dong Qianmo said: "That's not easy to do, my mother's illness hasn't been cured yet, but the doctor is no longer there." β
Mama Ju on the side interjected: "Who said it wasn't?" Madame's sore muscles and bones only improved a little, and this kind of thing happened, and there was no hope of curing the disease. β
Dong Qianmo persuaded with a sympathetic look: "That's not enough, as long as it is proved that Doctor Shan is just a doctor, no matter how unreasonable the guard is, he should be released." β
Ju Mama said: "Having said that, Madame's illness can't wait, once it is suddenly interrupted, it is better to be incured, Madame will have to suffer." β
Song muttered to himself: "If you can release people for a while, it doesn't hurt to cure my illness and send them back again, even if it comes out for an hour." β
Dong Lianyue couldn't help but say: "Then let's go and discuss with them and explain the situation, can't you ask Xiaowei to be accommodating?"
Song shook his head: "What a stupid boy, if you can negotiate with those people, you won't be embarrassed at last night's banquet." β
At this time, Mama Ju looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, and her eyes were aimed at Dong Qianmo.
Song said: "If you have something to say, you can say it, there are no outsiders here." β
Ju Mama lowered her voice and said: "When others go to discuss, it is naturally difficult to have room for maneuver, but the fourth lady is different, she is the wife of Uncle Shi who has not passed the door, she said a word, and she can say a hundred words for us." After that, take the triangular eyes to glance at Dong Qianmo.
Song reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense! Qianmo has never had a marriage certificate with him, and he has not yet passed the door, so he will open this mouth at this time, and it will not be easy to gain a foothold in her husband's family in the future. I'm just an old illness, just endure it, and it's not much of a big deal. β
Dong Lianyue looked at Dong Qianmo, and there was a silent hint in her eyes.
At this time, the maid came in and replied: "The old lady asked someone to ask if the white jade hammer has been repaired, and she will take it away when it is ready." β
Song instructed: "Let them come and pick it up later, the things are locked in the warehouse." β
The maid was told to go out, and there was a moment of silence in the room.
Then Dong Qianmo said with a sweet smile: "Sharing worries for her mother is what a daughter should do, why don't you let me go to Uncle Shi to talk." β
