Chapter 136: Time is Running Out
Carved beams and painted buildings, the attic is heavy.
Fu Tingye stood by the window, and found that he hadn't appreciated the scenery of the Hou Mansion so much for many years, every scene and thing here has not changed at all from when he was a child, and the only thing that has changed is probably people's hearts.
"Ahem, ahem."
Under Cheng Wanmiao's service, Mrs. Fu tried her best to drink the decoction, and vomited a lot again.
The girl went in and out, waiting with fear, the old lady was not in good health, and there was no one in the house who was relaxed.
"Auntie, don't be angry, the imperial doctors all said that you are deficient in qi and yin, which is caused by depression, so you should be comfortable and don't get along with yourself." Cheng Wanmiao couldn't bear to see her aunt in such pain, and silently shed tears while serving.
Old Madam Fu's breath was weak, but she looked angry: "Hmph, with this rebel, how can I relax my body and mind, I might as well ...... It's better to die simply. β
As soon as the words fell, there was another violent cough, and with the decoction that Fang had just drunk, he vomited out some again.
Cheng Wanmiao wiped the decoction from the corner of Mrs. Fu's mouth, and took advantage of the moment when she lowered her head, she secretly looked at Fu Tingye's side, only to see that the other party did not move at all, as if she hadn't heard of it for half a minute.
Fu Tingye naturally heard it, but he ......
Yesterday, the imperial doctor told him privately that the old lady's illness had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and I was afraid that time was running out.
He didn't want to argue with her at this time, who was seriously ill.
Fortunately, I ignored it.
After Cheng Wanmiao finished serving the old lady, she didn't hand the medicine bowl to the girl, but took it out herself and went straight to the kitchen.
There was still a fire simmering on the stove, the old lady's decoction was still emitting white smoke, Cheng Wanmiao came inside, and when she saw that there was no one around, the sad color on her face faded little by little, and she was a little gloomy and resentful.
Old lady, it's not that Wanmiao is sorry for you, it's that you calculate Wanmiao first.
Fu Tingye, I will definitely let you marry me, the lady of the Hou Mansion, I am alone.
Perhaps she was so engrossed in her mind that she didn't hear the footsteps of the maid behind her.
"Miss Cousin, what's wrong with you?" It is the old lady's personal maid Zijuan.
Yes! Not good!
Cheng Wanmiao didn't know when she had an extra bag of things in her hand, and she was frightened by Zijuan's words, and poured them all into the old lady's medicine jar.
"Miss Cousin, are you alright?" Zijuan came in from behind her, but she didn't notice the scene just now.
Cheng Wanmiao panicked and crumpled the kraft paper in her hand into a ball and put it into her sleeve: "No...... It's okay, I'm just worried about my wife's condition, and I'm sad for a while. β
Zijuan's expression was slightly confused: "Miss Biao is really dedicated to the old lady, and we all appreciate you in our eyes." β
Dedicated......
This sentence sounds a little harsh.
Cheng Wanmiao's eyebrows crossed a trace of imperceptible shame, turned around and hurried away.
β¦β¦
Fu Tingye has been staying in the old lady's room for the past two days, not leaving an inch.
Although he was angry with the old lady, he still did these things that he could do when he was accustomed to eating and delivering water.
At this time, Cheng Wanmiao was not in the room, the old lady coughed again, Fu Tingye withdrew from the maid, filled the hot tea and handed it to the old lady's mouth, but the old lady didn't look at it, and with a wave of her big hand, she knocked the tea cup to the ground.
"Rebel, I don't drink what you give."
Fu Tingye let out a long sigh: "What does Mother want?" β
Old Madam Fu closed her eyes and snorted coldly: "What do I want?" I would like to ask, what do you really want? If you want me to die, just keep marrying that woman!" β
Fu Tingye's face sank.
"General, there are military affairs that need to be dealt with immediately." The guards came in to make a report.
Fu Tingye got up and walked out.
Only then did Old Madam Fu open her eyes faintly, looked at his cold figure, and gritted her teeth fiercely.
"Someone, call Miss Cousin to me." Old Madam Fu's eyes suddenly shone brightly.
Cheng Wanmiao quickly came in and supported Mrs. Fu's side, "Auntie, are you looking for me?" β
"Has there been any progress in the past two days?" Old Madam Fu went straight to the point, "I have already created such a good opportunity for you, why don't you take it?" β
"Auntie...... This ......" Cheng Wanmiao was very embarrassed, "cousin, it seems to be very tired of me." β
"Something that doesn't make a living." Old Madam Fu scolded in a low voice, "Now that I am sick like this, the attitude of this rebel has finally eased a little, but it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, and you weigh it yourself." β
"Yes, Wan Miao remembers her aunt's admonition." Cheng Wanmiao's complexion is very kind, and I feel sorry for it.
Old Madam Fu was also a little tired of looking at her crying face these days, and then changed the topic: "I heard the imperial doctor say that I am just deficient in qi and blood, this is an old problem, I usually take a few pills and it will be fine, why is it so menacing this time." β
When Cheng Wanmiao heard this, her face looked as usual, but her heart trembled violently.
"Wanmiao doesn't know, maybe it's ......" Cheng Wanmiao paused and said, "Maybe it's because my aunt has been angry with her cousin, so ...... hurt his body. β
"Humph! That unfilial son, I raised him in vain! Speaking of Fu Tingye, Mrs. Fu was even more depressed, "I'm acting for him, just to see if he dares to marry that woman on the charge of unfilial piety." β
My cousin might have done that.
Cheng Wanmiao thought secretly, and she was also a lot of discouraged in her heart.
Her cousin, who has an indifferent temperament and an uncertain temper, can't pull back the eight cows that she believes, so she wants to come...... It's hard to deal with.
"Auntie, don't be anxious, Wanmiao will think of a way." Cheng Wanmiao comforted Mrs. Fu, got up and walked out of the room.
"Alas...... What can you do. Old Madam Fu sighed, "After all, it is not my own birth, and it is not as good as ......one-ten-thousandth of the old body when he was young."
Fu Tingye was handling military affairs in the study, and the guards came to report: "Report to the general, Miss Cousin asks to see." β
Why is she again?
Fu Tingye was overwhelmed.
"Let's just say I'm not available."
"But the general...... Miss Biao said that she had something important to report, which was related to the old lady's condition. β
Fu Tingye's cold eyebrows flashed with a hint of strangeness: "Let her in." β
"Yes."
Cheng Wanmiao entered the study, but it was not a place for Fu Tingye to review the military aircraft, but an ear room, where two ancient shelves formed a full moon, and some exquisite books and flowers were placed on the shelves, adding a lot of elegance to the environment.
I didn't expect Fu Tingye to have a rough personality, but he had such an elegant side in private.
The sound of heavy footsteps approached, Cheng Wanmiao was slightly excited, but she still stabilized her body and slowly looked back at Fu Tingye.
She was deliberately dressed up today, wearing the most popular lotus leaf flowing water pattern gauze skirt in Shengjing, combing the flowing clouds, and the edge of the bristle was inserted into the golden hairpin that was rewarded by the queen last year, and with the movement of the body, the step jingled like a wind chime and made a crisp sound.
Fu Tingye frowned for no reason, and in a blink of an eye, he only felt that a moving gold and silver jewelry shop came to him, Cheng Wanmiao's makeup was even more kitsch to bewitching, and the heavy makeup on her eyes made people look a little dizzy.
There is no harm without contrast.
He finally knew why he liked Hua Qingxue.
Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving, such a woman is the most beautiful.
"Cousin." Cheng Wanmiao greeted him, and her voice was even softer and boneless, crispy to the bones.
"Why did you come to me?" Fu Tingye subconsciously took a step back, only to feel uncomfortable.
"I ......" Cheng Wanmiao wanted to be polite, but she didn't expect Fu Tingye to be so straightforward, she had to go straight to the point, "Wanmiao has been in a hurry when she sees her cousin and aunt having trouble these days, so she came up with a way to relieve her aunt's mood, and her cousin won't be so embarrassed." β
"What's the method?" Fu Tingye asked lightly.
Cheng Wanmiao's watery eyes were shining, and Chunbo secretly sent: "My cousin can pretend to agree to her request in front of my aunt and marry ...... Marry me, give my aunt peace of mind, and when she is in good condition, tell her that it is expedient for both of us. β
"Pretending to agree?" Fu Tingye's expression sank a little, and an invisible pressure shook out.
Cheng Wanmiao heard the sharpness in her words, and explained honestly: "There is only the name of husband and wife, not the reality of husband and wife, and it is just acting in front of my aunt, and I don't know it in front of others, or in front of the wife of the soldier in my cousin's heart." β
Fu Tingye thought that she would come up with some kind of good idea, but it turned out to be such a method of covering her ears and stealing the bell.
"Nope." Fu Tingye's tone was indifferent.
Not at all?
Before Cheng Wanmiao came to Fu Tingye, she had already thought about all the responses, but she didn't expect the other party to refuse so simply.
She really couldn't think of any reason for Fu Tingye to reject her.
Isn't this method beneficial to all three of them? Moreover, it will not hurt any interests of the soldier lady for the time being.
"Why doesn't my cousin think it can't be? Is Wanmiao not thoughtful? β
"It's not inconsiderate." Fu Tingye pondered for a moment, perhaps because he felt pity for her and was dedicated to the sake of the old lady, his tone softened a little, "It's that I don't want to do this, I don't want to marry her in the future, and when I enter the door, I don't want to have anything to owe when I marry her." β
Even if it is pretending to fulfill the old lady, it will not work.
That was also nominally a mistreatment of her.
After Fu Tingye said this, he didn't pay attention to Cheng Wanmiao anymore, and walked straight out of the study.
The weather outside was very good, and the warm winter sun fell through the huge banyan trees of the Hou Mansion, like a glittering ribbon.
I don't know what Hua Qingxue is doing now, are you thinking about him?
No, he had to go see the woman.
Fu Tingye thought like this, and his footsteps kept walking out.
ββIn the courtyard, there is a lot of life.
Hua Qingxue sent all the canvases she bought when she went shopping last time, Liang Wensheng and Su Shaowen were busy placing the fabrics, and the two were curious and excited when they saw that the master bought so many canvases at one time.
"Master, what are these steps for, to make military tents, or to release water armor?" Su Shaowen couldn't hold back his words, so he approached Hua Qingxue and asked directly.
Hua Qingxue smiled: "This...... I'll sell it first, and I won't tell you, and you'll know when the time comes. β
"Oh." Su Shaowen was slightly frustrated.
Liang Wensheng comforted him on the side: "Don't be discouraged, master's ideas are always bold and innovative, I guess this time it must be a good thing, let's wait for the eye-opener." β
"That's what Senior Brother said." Su Shaowen smiled at Liang Wensheng.
That smile is innocent and pure, like a lotus flower in midsummer, without a trace of impurities, fresh and bright.
Liang Wensheng sighed silently in his heart: Alas, the junior brother is good everywhere, that's what it looks like...... It's too handsome.
