Chapter 287: Snow, white
"Why did Mrs. Chen do this?" Chen Lian was curious.
I've seen people who do good deeds without leaving their names, but I haven't seen people who give things without leaving their names.
"If she knew, she wouldn't accept it." Mrs. Chen told Chen Lian.
Well, Chen Lian said he understood.
"In that case, I'll take that thing and take my leave."
"Mama, send Dr. Chen." Mrs. Chen instructed Mama.
Mama sent Dr. Chen to the door, Chen Lian stopped, turned his head and said to Mama.
"Mama stays." Chen Lian said this and left.
Mama looked at Chen Lian who was walking away, turned around and went back to the house.
"Ma'am."
"Dr. Chen sent him away."
"Yes." Mama went over and picked up the teacup that Dr. Chen had drunk.
……
Doctor Chen returned to like it, and the medicine boy looked at the several gift boxes in the master's hand, frowning and asking.
"Master, weren't you captured by the people of the Chen Mansion?"
"Yes, do you hope that your master and I don't have to come back, and then inherit my property?"
The medicine boy rolled his eyes and muttered, "Master, what property do you have besides a medical hall?" ”
Chen Lian heard this, raised his head and knocked him on the head hard.
"The hospital is not property?"
"What kind of property is this, the real property is just to use it and not to do anything." The medicine boy said.
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing that the master was about to hit him again, he hurriedly stepped back.
"Master, they just told the truth."
"To tell you the truth, I see that you haven't woken up yet, send me these to Zhou Zhai." After Chen Lian finished speaking, he stuffed the things in his hand to him.
The medicine boy looked at the things in his arms and asked, "Who are these given to the Zhou Mansion?" ”
"Who else but the old sick man." Chen Lian said.
"Oh, then I'll go."
"Wait."
"What else does Master have to say?" The medicine boy had just taken two steps before he stopped and looked back to ask.
"Forget it, let's go!" Chen Lian believes that the medicine boy can solve the problem.
If he can't cope with this little thing, then he is not worthy of being his Chen Lian's apprentice.
Seeing that the master stopped him and didn't speak, the medicine boy gave a blank look, and then left with his things.
The medicine boy left, and Chen Lian sat alone in the medical hall, frowning.
"What is the relationship between Mrs. Chen and Zhou Yiran? Why did you send so many high-quality supplements to Zhou Yiran's girl? ”
Chen Lian thought about it for a while, but simply didn't want to, after all, this had nothing to do with him.
The medicine boy came to Zhou's house with his things and was brought to Zhou Yiran by Qingzhu.
Zhou Yiran looked at the things that the medicine boy was holding in his hand and frowned.
"This is what Master asked me to send you." The medicine boy finished and put the things on the table.
"Something." She asked the medicine boy.
The medicine boy shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Seeing that the medicine boy didn't know what it was, she opened it and looked at it.
As soon as I opened it, I looked at the ginseng lying inside, and it looked like it was some vintage. Opening another one means she doesn't recognize what it is.
"What is this?" She asked the medicine boy.
"It's bird's nest." The medicine boy did not despise her, and answered her naturally.
When she heard that it was a bird's nest, she frowned, how was it different from the bird's nest she had seen, what she saw was a liquid bird's nest, this kind of bird's nest was the same as a nest, she had never seen it.
Seeing that it was still bloody, she raised her head and asked the medicine boy.
"Your master has made a fortune?"
"I don't know, the things are delivered, I'll go back." The medicine boy turned around and left the place.
She wanted to ask him something, but the man had already gone out, so she did.
"Madam, these things..."Qingzhu asked.
"Pick it up and set it aside!" When you have time, ask Dr. Chen.
According to what she knew about Dr. Chen, it was impossible for Dr. Chen to send these things.
If it's small things that are cheap, she believes them, but these things are too expensive, and everything is not cheap, so she doesn't believe it.
Qingzhu listened to her words, picked up the things and put them in the cabinet and put them aside.
She got up and walked to the window, looking at the goose-feather snow outside, the expression on her face was cold.
Qingzhu came out and saw his wife standing at the window, walking over with a shawl and draping it over to his wife.
"Madam, it's windy here, don't stand too long."
She tightened the shawl that Qingzhu had put on, turned her head and said.
"Is my sister-in-law better?"
"Mrs. Hui, Sister-in-law Chen's body temperature has returned to normal after drinking the medicine."
"That's good, Qingzhu, go over and watch your sister-in-law tonight! Let Tsing Yi come to me at night. ”
"Okay." Qingzhu nodded.
"What would you like to eat at noon, Madame?" The slave went to talk to Peach. ”
"A pot of soup, it's appropriate to drink soup on this day, let Peach Don't fry any dishes, it's cold and troublesome."
Qingzhu laughed after hearing this.
"Madame, you're going to spoil us like that."
"So are you worthy of pampering?" She looked at Qingzhu.
Qingzhu looked at Madame, and then lowered her head: "The slave swears to wait for Mrs. Deathkeeping, and will never disobey it. ”
"Do you believe in the oath?" She asked Qingzhu.
Qingzhu frowned slightly, raised his head and nodded again.
"Slave... Believe. ”
Qingzhu's answer was a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Zhou Yiran frowned and said, "What you said proves that you don't believe it very much." ”
"Slave..."Qingzhu lowered her head, she didn't want to say anything halfway through her words, this was a very sad thing, and she didn't want to think about it.
"Say whatever you want, don't spit out." Zhou Yiran wanted to hear her story, so she turned around and sat down by the oven.
Qingzhu turned around and looked at Madame, and after a long time, she spoke.
"The slave's father said that he would come to pick up the slave and his sister, but he never appeared again after he handed them over to someone else." It also took a lot of courage for Qingzhu to say this, because it was something she didn't want to think about.
"Do you have a lot of children?" She asked curiously.
Qingzhu shook his head: "My father and mother want boys." ”
Well, it's another patriarchal family, in this kind of era, patriarchy seems to be normal, every family must have a boy, as long as there is a boy waist pole to stand straight.
Qingzhu's family is estimated to be poor, and in order to have a boy, he had to sell the girl.
As a woman of this era, it is really humble.
"Go down!"
Qingzhu nodded and retreated from the room.
Qingzhu withdrew from the door and raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye as he turned around.
Although ten years have passed, she has not forgotten her father's appearance and has always remembered it.
It's just that where her home is, she doesn't remember.
******
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the New Year.
It was white outside, and the snow in the yard was knee-high, and there was still snow in the air, not so big, but there was no tendency to stop.
The three people of peach, green, bamboo, and Tsing Yi got up early in the morning to shovel the snow, shoveling out the cross-shaped road, and the door led directly to the main hall, and there was also one in the east and west wings, which just formed a cross.
Last night, a red lantern was hung in the house, and a couplet was posted at the door, and the couplet was written by herself.
Although the words are a little ugly, they are better than nothing. Besides, on this snowy day, whoever goes out, when the snow melts, she tears the couplet.
After the road shovel came out, the three went to the kitchen.
She now dresses like a penguin and has begun to fall in love with modern down jackets.
When I came to the other side, I met the seedlings who came out of the room, and I stepped forward to ask.
"Is your mother better?"
Miao Zi shook her head: "Mother, her illness seems to be getting worse and worse." ”
After listening to Miaozi's words, she frowned.
"How so? It's not convenient to go out on this day, is there still medicine? ”
Miao Zi nodded: "There are two more pairs of medicine." ”
"It is estimated that Dr. Chen will not open the door on the first day of junior high school." She was worried, it stands to reason that her sister-in-law's illness will get better, but not only is it not better, but it is serious.
Miaozi is also very worried.
"Auntie, do you think my mother has a heart disease?"
I've been sick since that day, and it's impossible that the medicine won't be good if I drink it on time every day.
After Miaozi's reminder, she felt that it was likely to be a heart disease.
Thinking about it, she was going to go in and have a look.
Miao Zi saw that she was going in, and hurriedly grabbed her aunt.
"Auntie, don't go in, it's not good to catch the cold."
"It's okay, your aunt's health is fine." After Zhou Yiran finished speaking, she pushed the door and entered, and Miao Zi followed behind.
"Ahem, cough, cough..." Chen He kept coughing, and suddenly coughed up something, she hurriedly caught it with a handkerchief, and when she saw that it was blood, she was stupid.
When he heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately hid the veil in the quilt and wiped his mouth with his back.
"Mother, you're coughing again." Miao Zi went over with a glass of water.
Chen He lowered his head, turned around and took the teacup in his daughter's hand, took a sip and rinsed his mouth directly and swallowed it, and then drank two more sips before raising his head.
Seeing Xiao Ran, she frowned.
"How did you get in?"
"Miaozi, you go out to help Qingzhu and them, I'll watch here." Zhou Yiran branched out the seedlings.
Miao Zi knew that her aunt was deliberately supporting herself, so she nodded and exited the room.
As soon as Miao Zi left, Zhou Yiran moved a chair over and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Sister-in-law, are you coughing up blood?"
"Nope." Chen He shook his head, raised his hand and touched his mouth.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to wipe it, the red on the corner of her mouth is blood."
Chen He no longer concealed it, raised his head and said to her, "Don't tell Miaozi." ”
"How long can you hide it, Miaozi will know sooner or later." She didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so sick that she coughed up blood, and it was only a few days.
"You can hide it for as long as you can." Chen He knew that she was dying, this time she was really not good, she was already in poor health, coupled with the wind and cold, and then thought about Quanzi, she couldn't sleep at night, and her illness would worsen sharply.
Medicines are useless.
"I'll ask you to get Dr. Chen, and he will definitely have a way to cure you."
Chen He grabbed her and shook his head: "Don't, today is the Chinese New Year, how could Dr. Chen come to the doctor, I know my own body, don't waste your strength, cough..."
Chen He coughed as soon as she was excited, and Zhou Yiran hurriedly poured her another glass of water.
"Don't get excited, drink saliva."
Chen He took the cup and took a sip of hot tea, then grabbed her hand.
"Xiao Ran..."
"Sister-in-law, don't talk about it, the illness must be seen, I can't ask for it today, I have to go to the doctor tomorrow."
Chen He smiled and nodded, then she turned around and took out the silver from the pillow.
"These are the money I saved, you keep it for me, I'm afraid I'll leave suddenly."
"Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense." Zhou Yiran grabbed her hand, feeling very uneasy.
