Chapter 65: The Visitation
[Chapter 2, Volume 2]
Section 100
Wei Changying was wondering where this strange handmaid came from, and saw that Chen Rubei had already walked in with his feet clamped, and he was busy following. The three of them walked to the porch silently, and Chen Ruhua turned his head and asked the maid: "The fifth prince is back, and I heard that the eldest lady has not been sleeping well for the past two days, so I will come and have a look first...... Is Madame still inside? ”
"The servant congratulates the fifth prince to return safely!" The maid saluted the chief of the guard first, and replied, "Madame is just lacking, and the eldest lady ordered someone to send Madame back first." ”
"That's fine." Chen Rubei didn't seem to want to bump into Mrs. Song, and his expression was relieved when he heard this.
Although Wei Changying was puzzled that there were more handmaidens in her courtyard that she didn't know, she was even more worried about her younger brother, and when she saw that Chen Ruhua finished asking, she walked to the inner room first.
Pushing open the door, I saw that under the west window, Wei Changfeng was wearing a half-worn homely robe. Xu Shicai had just bathed, his long hair was scattered on the couch, although it was a cloak and a cloak was scattered, but he was sitting behind the couch, looking intently at a classic book in front of him.
The room was empty except for him...... The empty courtyard is not at all like the laughter that could be heard outside the walls from the day before...... Green clothes and green piers may have died in the forest, green houses and green temples, as well as four little maids of the Zhu character generation, and the nurse He Shi......
Wei Changying looked at the inner room with only his younger brother, and was dazed for a moment, at this time, Wei Changfeng happened to turn the page, heard the door open, and subconsciously cast a glance - suddenly his whole body was shocked, and he overturned several cases, and shouted in a lost voice: "Eldest sister!" ”
"The eldest lady and the fifth prince are not busy talking!" Chen Ruquan, who followed up in the inner room, interrupted the two sisters and brothers who tried to ask about the current situation, and said hurriedly, "The maid has asked Qin Ge to prepare the bath...... The fifth prince quickly changed his robe with the eldest lady, and the princess of Jingping was afraid that she was coming! ”
Wei Changying was stunned: "What is she doing here?" Originally, although she didn't like Wei Changxian, she didn't have any opinion on Xiao Liu's aunt, and she was respectful. can know from Wei Xinyong that this attack was basically Xiao Liu's words from his nephew...... Maybe there is no need to talk at all, since Queen Gu also has a part in this matter - Concubine Deng Guifei instructed her nephew Deng Zongqi, and Queen Gu promised the position of the crown princess of the Liu family, so Liu Xixun is also very suspicious.
Now that I heard that Xiao Liu was coming, Wei Changying couldn't call her aunt to come.
Wei Changfeng and Chen Ruhua's faces were the same as Xiao Liu's diswelcome, Chen Ruhua sneered and said: "Since the fifth prince came back first, the Jingping Mansion has to send people to visit almost every day!" The old lady made people boil medicine in this courtyard all day long, and blocked their request to visit the couch under the pretext that the eldest lady was seriously ill and needed complete recuperation. But the Jingping Mansion touched the wall once, and thought of introducing the doctor over...... Fortunately, now that the eldest lady is back, today I will see the sons and daughters of Jingping Gongshi, so that they will die! ”
The Jingping Mansion is so unwilling to receive nothing, it seems that it has made up its mind to stab Wei Huan and Mrs. Song here in Wei Changying. The matter was urgent, and Wei Changying's sister and brother had no time to say what had happened, so Wei Changying immediately went behind the screen to untie his robe.
Chen Ruhuan followed behind the screen to serve, and her hand undressing Wei Changying trembled imperceptibly, causing Wei Changying to glance at him suspiciously-because it was only early autumn, Wei Changying was not wearing many clothes, so she quickly took off her robe and handed it to Chen Ruhuan, motioning her to take it out for Wei Changfeng...... It's just that Chen Ruhua didn't leave, she hugged her robe and said in a hoarse voice: "The hairpin on the eldest lady's side is crooked, maybe it was touched by the hat, so let's take it off first, so as not to fall down and fall for a while!" ”
Wei Changying did not doubt her, and raised her hand to touch her sideburns - as soon as she raised her hand, the sleeves of her middle shirt naturally slid down, revealing a small arm of Sai Xue and Frost, and on her arm, a little red palace sand was bright and dripping.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ruhua sighed quietly!
Wei Changying followed a group of strange men and came back instead of his younger brother, what happened, not only outsiders will maliciously speculate, but also his own family is not worried. Although the old lady and the avant-garde Chang Ying looked quite calm before, they could ...... But how can you rest assured if you don't confirm such a big thing?
It's just that if Wei Changying is serious...... No matter how tactful the inquiry is, wouldn't it be another stab in her heart? Even if Wei Changying is still perfect, he has only experienced life and death, and in order to protect his younger brother, it is easy to return and listen to such an inquiry, I am afraid that he will be sensitive to think that his family is disgusting him. Fortunately, although Wei Changying is not as quiet as ordinary ladies, all women will order the palace sand, but she is the same.
Chen Rubei completed the task assigned by Mrs. Song with a little trick, and it was the result of Mrs. Song's eagerness to exchange her life, a boulder fell in her heart, and her steps to go out were a little brisk.
She hurriedly dressed Wei Changfeng as the appearance of returning from the dust, told him a few words, asked him to go back to Liuhua Courtyard first, and called the maid Qin Ge, who Wei Changying had looked at before, to come over, and let her serve Wei Changying to bathe, take three steps and make two steps, and rushed back to the upper room to report the good news to Mrs. Song.
Wei Changying didn't realize that Chen Ruhua accompanied her back to the Frost Court's main purpose, but even more noticed that none of the maids she saw after entering the bath room did not know her, she met Qin Ge in front of her, because she was busy looking at Wei Changfeng and didn't ask in detail, she frowned at this moment and said, "Who are you?" What about the original people here? ”
Qin Ge stepped forward and said, "Before, the eldest lady needed to recuperate, and there were too many people in the yard, so the old lady sent some." Let the maids come to serve the eldest lady, the maids and the songs, they are glamorous songs, horn songs, and songs. ”
The other three maids saluted together: "I've seen the eldest lady!" ”
Wei Changying thought for a moment, thinking that maybe these little maids were too lively, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to keep their words, so they sent people away, but the green house and green sideburns were quite stable, why were they also driven away? Are they not reliable enough?
And, what about He's?
She asked, "Has my nurse been sent away?" ”
Qin Ge smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "Of course Aunt He is still there, but my aunt is worried about the eldest lady day and night. ”
Wei Changying frowned: "Fever? ”
"Don't worry, eldest lady, although Aunt He was sent to the outer courtyard, the old lady sent the doctor to see it, and the Tao was raised for two days." Qin Ge hurriedly said, "Okay, I will definitely come to serve the eldest lady." ”
Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief, she was also tired, and she would have to deal with Xiao Liu for a while, so she didn't say much, nodded, and undressed and stepped into the bath.
After bathing, Qin Ge and Yan Ge came up to serve her to change her clothes, in the end, they were new people, not as familiar with Wei Changying's preferences as the four people in the green room, and it took a lot of effort to satisfy her.
Out of the bath room and back to the inner room, Wei Changying saw that Xiao Liu had not yet come, so he leaned on the couch and slept for a while, and asked Jiao Ge and Han Ge to take a handkerchief to dry their long hair.
She originally decided to fake sleep, but she was really tired for the past two days, so she lay down and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Wei Changying was woken up, and asked the reason in a daze, so he listened to the qin song in his ear and whispered: "Miss, the princess of Jingping and the eldest young lady are here." ”
"Huh?" Wei Changying was dazed for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses, grabbed Qin Ge's hand, and said, "Where are the people?" ”
"The little maid from the old lady came over just now, saying that she had just visited the old lady and was on her way over." Seeing that Wei Changying was about to sit up, Qin Ge hurriedly held her down again, and said with a chuckle, "Today, the fifth prince came back to visit the eldest lady, and the eldest lady can be regarded as recovering a lot...... It's just that I've been sick all the time, so where can I get up at this time? The princess and the eldest lady are both tolerant and kind-hearted people, and they will not worry about the eldest lady. ”
was reminded by her, Wei Changying, who was sleeping in a daze, remembered that she didn't need to freshen up and go out, so she lay down with peace of mind and said, "I'm a little unable to get up at this time, but it's just right." ”
Qin Ge pursed her lips and smiled: "What the eldest lady said is true." ”
I made preparations here, and waited for a while, and I saw Chen Rubei accompanying Xiao Liu and Su to come in, smelling the smell of medicine, and sighing in the courtyard to ask about the situation, guarding outside was Jiaoge, through the half-open window, only to hear Jiaoge reply softly: "...... Today, the fifth prince returned safely, and when he heard that the eldest lady couldn't get up, he came to see it first, and the eldest lady saw the fifth son, but it was much better. This is going to have some mental strength. ”
…… Xiao Liu and Su were obviously choked, but Chen Ruhua laughed heartily, and continued: "The old lady is still telling the wife of the world that the eldest lady is sick, all because she is worried about the fifth son, and now the fifth prince's wife has come back peacefully, if the eldest lady can recover, then our house will be double happiness today!" I don't want to be like this - the wife of the world and the young lady can't come today, and the old lady is about to send someone to Jingping Mansion to report the good news! The wife of the world said that today is not a good day? ”
Xiao Liu didn't seem to react until now, and smiled reluctantly: "What Mama Chen said is true." ”
She didn't know whether she believed it or didn't give up, and then said, "Since this kid is fine, I don't know if we can go in and have a look?" If she's asleep, let's take off the ring and go in......"
When Wei Changying heard this, he glanced at Qin Ge in front of him, Qin Ge understood, and walked out and said: "The eldest lady is awake, and I heard that the princess and the eldest young lady are coming, let the maid come out and invite the two of you in!" He added, "Mama Chen, please come in too." ”
After a while, Xiao Liu, Su and Chen Ruhua all entered the inner room with a hint of smile, and saw Wei Changying, who was only wearing a middle coat, wearing an outer robe, with long hair scattered, and seemed to be leaning on the hidden sac weakly. How does this feel? ”
Wei Changying didn't sleep well after being tired, her voice was a little hoarse, and she was also a little lacking in qi, so she whispered at this moment: "I just saw Changfeng, and I was relieved, and I will feel much better." It's just that I still don't have much strength, and when I heard my aunt and sister-in-law enter the yard, I didn't have the strength to shout, so I could only let Qin Ge go out and ask for ......"
"You kid, we're here to visit you, and we'll come in sooner or later." Xiao Liu hurriedly said, "If it makes you anxious and recuperate, then it's not ours." ”
Chen Rubei said with a smile on the side: "I'm afraid that the eldest lady has been asleep for the past few days, but the princess and the eldest lady really care about the eldest lady, and they have to come to visit almost every day!" These words seem to be sincere, but with a subtle teasing.
"I see!" Wei Changying was prepared, and immediately looked at Xiao Liu and Su with gratitude, "It's all Chang Ying's bad, worried about the fifth brother, and even fell ill on the couch, so that the aunt and sister-in-law are worried!" ”
Xiao Liu's eyes flashed, and he sighed: "Where can we worry about it? It's your mother who worries! She said casually, "I heard that she just left you?" I don't know if my cough has gotten better these days? ”
Wei Changying was about to speak, Chen Ruhua's face changed, and he immediately rushed to say: "The princess has a bad memory, the eldest lady has a little headache, but it is not a cough." ”
"......" Wei Changying's heart sank, and he secretly scolded Xiao Liu's insidiousness, but he was also glad that Chen Rubei was present, but when he saw that Xiao Liu's temptation failed, he frowned slightly, and Su was busy smiling: "Mother has been worried about Chang Ying these days, but she has a bad memory." ”
"When you get older, you don't have a good memory, but it makes you laugh." Xiao Liu returned to his normal color, and laughed at himself gently.
Then the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wei Changying was worried about Xiao Liu's mention of Mrs. Song, and he was impatient and perfunctory for too long, and felt that he was almost out of excuses - of course Chen Ruhua was helping to drive people away.
After sending Xiao Liu and Su away, Wei Changying's face sank, and asked Qin Ge: "Does Mother have a bad headache?" ”
Qin Ge didn't dare to hide it: "Madame is just worried about the eldest lady, so she is in a hurry, so she has a headache." I couldn't sleep for the past two days, so Dr. Ji prescribed a soothing soup and drank it to take a nap...... I want to know that after the eldest lady comes back, she will definitely be fine soon. ”
Wei Changying knew how much her mother loved her and her younger brother, this time the two sisters and brothers were both in distress, and it was difficult to survive in the dense forest, but Mrs. Song was in the safe Ruiyu Hall, and I am afraid that she would not be able to be stable for a while. Hearing Qin Ge say this, he sighed and said, "You go alone, don't disturb your mother's nap, and when your mother wakes up, she will immediately tell me that I am safe." ”
Although Qin Ge knew that Old Madam Song must have sent someone to tell Mama Shi a long time ago, she still agreed and went out to call Yan Ge to run errands.
