Chapter 235: Visiting the Sick
Song's mother was originally dissatisfied with her because Xia Jin refused to write a letter. But after this night, she was only full of gratitude to Xia Jin, and explained: "Miss Xia didn't close her eyes all night, I saw that your fever had subsided, so I asked her to lie down in the next room." She said, your illness is not so fast, and by tonight, there is a chance that you will have to burn again. So I'm afraid I'll have to bother Miss Xia tonight. ”
This is a bit untrue, but Mother Song is very willing that Xia Jin can marry Luo Qian, so she is willing to say good things for her in front of Mrs. Luo.
"Didn't close your eyes all night?" The surprise in Mrs. Luo's eyes flashed, and then her eyes were extremely complicated.
She has been dead since she was ten years old, and she has two younger brothers below. Worried that the new stepmother would bully her younger brother, she had to wear thick armor and fight against her stepmother and her father, who became her stepfather because she married her stepmother, so she developed a hard character.
In fact, people who are tough on the outside are the most fragile in their hearts. Because I was afraid of being hurt, I put a hard shell on myself first. Like Mrs. Luo, she didn't get the love of her parents since she was a child, she grew up and got married, and because her husband had a heart before she got married, and she gave birth to her eldest son and second son without telling her, she hated and hated her emotionally, and she was extremely lacking in love. Because of the lack, she will feel deeply and grateful for any care that is not utilitarian.
Because of this, Mrs. Luo's heart was very touched by Xia Jin's heart for not sleeping by her side all night. If Xia Jin wanted to marry Luo Qian, she wouldn't be so moved. But all kinds of signs show that at the beginning of this family business, it was all Luo Qian's wishful thinking; Xia Jin has always been relatively cold, and it is not necessary to marry Luo Qian.
What's more, now the Xia family has moved to the capital. is close to Xuanping Houfu, Xia Qi is capable, and the exam is just around the corner. It is not impossible for Xia Jin to find another family that is better than the Luo family.
Because of this, Xia Jin can treat her like this, and Luo Fu feels that it is rare.
Mother Song knew that Mrs. Luo's heart was sick, and she wanted to say a few good words about Xia Jin to her. A few words of persuasion. But I saw that her face was full of sickness. He seemed to be very tired, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Xia Jin slept in the wing room and woke up. It's noon. Old Mrs. Xuan Pinghou and Xiao Shi were both in front of Mrs. Luo's bed. Mrs. Luo was talking to them, and her spirits seemed to be much better.
Seeing her coming, Mrs. Luo smiled softly at her and said, "I worked hard for you last night." ”
Xia Jin walked over to her bedside and fetched her pulse. Nodding his head, "It's better." But the disease doesn't get better so quickly, and it recurs at night. You should rest more during the day. Drink plenty of water. The most important thing is to relax and don't think too much. ”
"Not really." Old lady Xuanping answered, "I'm talking to her." Hou Ye and Shizi have led troops to fight all year round, and they have been safe and sound. When they go out, we should be happy. Live a good life and don't let them miss it. That's the right thing to do. Besides, Hou Ye and Shizi will go to the border in a few days, and they will definitely take good care of Brother Qian when the time comes, so what else can you worry about. ”
"Old lady, madam, Mrs. Zheng is here, saying that she came to see Mrs. Luo." The next person came to pay respects.
Mrs. Luo was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Why did she come over?" ”
Old lady Xuanping waited for the next person to order her first: "Please let her in." Only then did he explain to Mrs. Luo, "You went to visit her yesterday, and she sent someone to deliver a post early this morning, saying that she wanted to visit you back." So I told her that you were sick and told her to come back another day. Probably when she heard the reply from the next person, she came to see you. ”
"Alas, my illness has caused you a lot of trouble." Mrs. Luo blamed herself.
It would have been fine if she had stayed in her own house, but she was sick at Cen's house when she was a guest, and she was still waiting for Xuanping to go on the expedition. Now that Lao Xuanping is waiting for such an elderly person as the old lady to worry about her, she is very unhappy.
"How can a person eat whole grains without getting sick?" Old Mrs. Xuanping comforted her, estimating that Mrs. Zheng was about to arrive, and instructed Cen Ziman, "You go to the gate of the courtyard to greet Mrs. Zheng." ”
Cen Ziman glanced at Xia Jin and motioned for her to go with him as a companion. The old lady Xuanping grabbed Xia Jin and pressed her to sit down: "You sit down." After a hard night last night, hurry up and take a good rest. I'm still tired tonight. He glared at Cen Ziman again, "Go quickly, you don't have to pull Sister Jin." ”
Cen Ziman stuck out his tongue and turned away.
After a while, Mrs. Zheng and Cen Ziman walked in.
Mrs. Luo saw that she came alone, and Zheng Wanru did not come in the future, and regretted this family affair a little.
Mrs. Zheng first greeted Mrs. Xuanping Hou, and then said hello to Xiao Shi, then turned her head and said to Mrs. Luo with concern: "I was fine yesterday, why did I get sick?" Are you better? Does it matter? Where is Langzhong used? Are the medicines you take effective? ”
Mrs. Zheng didn't sleep well last night, her face was haggard, and her eye circles were dark, which seemed to be worse than Mrs. Luo lying on the hospital bed.
"Thank you for thinking about it and coming to see me in person." Mrs. Luo covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times, "My brother Qian heard that there was a foreign invasion at the border pass, so he left a letter and went to the border pass, but there was no news, I was anxious and worried, I couldn't eat and sleep well, and I was old and tired from the journey, so I lay down." It's not in the way, I took the medicine prescribed by Miss Xia, and now I feel much better. ”
Mrs. Zheng was stunned: "You just said that Brother Qian went to the border gate?" How could he ......" She paused, probably realizing that this was the Cen family, and the men of the Cen family were all going to war, so she changed her question, "Isn't he a lifter?" ”
"It's a lift." Mrs. Luo coughed a few more times and took a breath, "It's just that he is full of enthusiasm and says that the country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible." If he does not repel the enemy, he vows not to return. As she spoke, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cried "whining", "I am such a son, if I have three long and two short, how can I live?" ”
Mrs. Zheng sat there without speaking, her face a little ugly.
Seeing this, Xiao Shi hurriedly stepped forward to appease Mrs. Luo.
After Mrs. Luo slowly stopped crying, Mrs. Zheng reluctantly sat for a while, said a few kind words, and then left.
Mrs. Luo sniffed and asked Mrs. Xuanpinghou: "Auntie, I just said this, is it appropriate?" "The eyes are shining, like a child who wants to be praised by adults, where is the sad appearance just now?
The old lady Xuanping was angry and funny, and patted her quilt lightly: "It's proper, it's proper!" It's just that you're sick like this, and you're still thinking about the Zheng family? What are the words, how many can't be said when the illness is cured? Look at you, coughing again. He patted Mrs. Luo, who was coughing violently, on the back.
Xia Jin hurriedly stepped forward and gave Mrs. Luo a few injections, and when her cough subsided, she asked Mother Song to help her lie down.
Waiting for the old lady to come out of Mrs. Luo's room, the Xiao family, who had sent Mrs. Zheng back, happened to meet her at the door.
Xiao Shi helped her out, and said, "Mother, I always feel that there is something wrong with Mrs. Zheng, she doesn't seem to want to quit her family." The meaning of what she said just now was to ask me to tell Mrs. Luo and ask her to call Brother Qian back, so that she could get married quickly. ”
Xuan Ping waited for the old lady to take a beating.
She had cold eyes and snorted in her nose: "Zheng Shangshu is really an old fox, but he will protect himself, left and right." ”
Xiao Shi turned his mind and understood what his mother-in-law meant.
She said worriedly: "That being the case, I think Mrs. Zheng doesn't want to withdraw from her family." The relationship between the Zheng and Luo families ......"
Mrs. Xuanping is also worried about this.
If the Zheng family also dies like the Peng family, then needless to say, if you offend, you will be offended. At that time, as soon as the evidence of King Yan's rebellion is conclusive, the Peng family and the Zheng family, which are attached to them, will naturally all fall. But the Zheng family only watched the fire from the other side and did not participate in person. In this way, even if the emperor doesn't like it, he has to weigh it, and he can't easily move his position.
If Luo Qian is dedicated to leaning on the side of the generals, it is good to have the Cen family to rely on, plus he can be literate and martial, so he will naturally have a place in the military department in the future. But in case he can't stay at the border pass and wants to come back to participate in the imperial examination. offending the Zheng family will inevitably affect his future career.
It's really hard to do. (To be continued)
