Chapter 177: Dongyuan is critically ill
Now that she heard Shan Heng's words, she also fell to the ground with a stone in her heart.
After more than a month, the old lady became more and more haggard, and the prime minister asked many imperial doctors but did not get better.
Over time, everyone only thinks that the old lady is old and will run out of oil and dry up.
In order to take care of the old lady, Firecrackers stayed in the East Garden almost day and night, and occasionally went back to the South Garden.
But she saw that the second lady looked at her differently.
"How's the old lady?"
The second lady was lying on the couch with her stomach upright, her eyes were a little red and swollen, as if she hadn't slept well.
"..... never got better"
"You are full of filial piety, and the lord is not like his own child compared to you."
The second lady suddenly said sarcastically.
"What do you mean, ma'am?"
Firecrackers didn't understand why she said that.
"It's nothing, I'm pregnant, I can't go to the East Garden often,
You did your filial piety for me in front of the old lady, and it can be regarded as adding face to Nanyuan.
Got a face? The old lady is now terminally ill, but the lady only cares about Nanyuan and not falling into the mouth? ”
She asked, a little puzzled.
"The old lady is kind to me, I am really worried about her, and I am her daughter-in-law,
How can you look at her coldly, just when it comes to you, don't forget whether you are from the East Garden or the South Garden! ”
Seeing her running around with the East Garden day and night, Qi had already complained a lot, and she didn't care about her being close to the old lady.
But she also has to take into account her identity, she is the maid in charge of the South Garden, but she always crosses the East Garden, is it possible that she still wants to go to the East Garden?
She remembered in her heart that Grandma Guo had talked about this in her ear, and she only felt that it was not very noisy at first, but now she took it out and pondered it when she had nothing to do.
I don't think it's unreasonable.
Probably because she is pregnant, she loves to think crankily, and she can't go anywhere with a big belly all day long.
I can only go around in the acre of Dounan Pavilion, and occasionally think about the days when I was on the sunset mountain and a few girls on the Xunche Road.
But she can also pass the time, but she sees Pear Blossom Ruyu and Granny Zhou busy in front of her every day, but she always doesn't see the shadow of the girl with firecrackers.
Thinking that she always went to the old lady to offer her courtesy, but regarded her real master as nothing, she couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart.
"If the lady doesn't like the slave and maid to go to the East Garden, the slave and the maid don't go, and if the lady looks at the slave and the maid again, she will dismiss the slave and maid.
Anyway, the slave maid hasn't paid much attention to the affairs of Nanyuan recently, and the lady looks at the pear blossom like a jade, and hands it over to them. ”
"You ....."
Qi was so shocked by her words that he almost vomited out the lotus root soup he drank at noon.
"How dare you defy me? I think you're going to heaven! ”
"If you can really go to heaven, it's better than being a person in the cracks......"
The firecracker head didn't raise her eyes or open her eyes, and she replied when Qi said a word.
"Okay, now Nanyuan is a crack in your eyes, right?"
Qi slapped the bed angrily: "Since I have wronged you so much, it is better for you to go to the East Garden to serve!"
Don't enter my South Park door again! ”
Firecrackers didn't expect her to be so angry, and she didn't have any idea for a while.
She can't afford to offend a big-bellied person, not to mention the second lady with a big belly in front of her.
"The old lady has been sick for a long time, and the lady has not visited the East Garden once, and the eldest lady has known that she goes to greet her every day.
If the slave and maid do not serve closely, it is difficult to guarantee that the master will be dissatisfied with the wife. ”
"Don't move the master out to scare me!"
The second lady said with a sharp voice: "Who in the Heng Mansion doesn't know that I have a big belly and it's inconvenient....."
"Madame uses a big belly as an excuse, but she is actually worried that the old lady's sickness will hurt Madame's fetal gas, right?"
Firecracker pursed his lower lip, thinking about it again and again, but he still couldn't help but spit out this sentence.
"Okay, now you'll be arranging your master? I just reprimanded you twice,
You can't stand it? How dare you look at it without respect and humility, and commit the following crimes? ”
"What the slave and maid said is just the truth, and the lady doesn't like to listen to the slave and maid in the future."
Firecracker's stubborn temper also rushed to the top of her head, when did the second lady become so unkind?
Outside the house, Mrs. Zhou stood for a long time and didn't dare to step in, only listening to the noisy noise of the master and servant in the house.
Finally, after a crisp sound of smashing the cup, the firecrackers rushed out with a blue face,
ran out of South Park without looking back.
"This ......"
Granny Zhou was confused by them, why did she quarrel so well?
She turned to ask Ruyu, who had just stepped up the stairs and was as confused as she was.
"Isn't Miss the most biased firecracker?"
"I don't know ....."
Ruyu also shook her head in confusion:
"But Grandma Zhou, didn't you notice that Mrs. Zhou's temper seems to be growing again?
A few days ago, because of the firecrackers that almost knocked over the vase, Mrs. was already annoyed once. ”
"Knock over the vase, how did I not know?"
Granny Zhou asked.
"It wasn't broken, but the firecracker accidentally touched it, and the vase was still there."
Ruyu stretched out her hand and pointed: "That blue and white exquisite porcelain vase is Madame's favorite, who dares not to be careful?"
If it is not broken, why should Madame be angry......"
Granny Zhou glanced at the broken teacup next to the dinner table, it seemed that Qi Xiaoyun was completely angered by firecrackers this time.
"If you're pregnant, your temperament will become irritable when you're pregnant, so we'll just be careful."
"It's still Grandma Zhou's experience, where do those of us who have never been married understand this,
When I went back, I persuaded her not to take it to heart. ”
Ruyu said.
"Yes, go back and persuade her, but these days, don't ask her to go back to the West Garden.
I took advantage of my efforts to persuade Miss and let her dissipate her anger. ”
Granny Zhou crept into the Dounan Pavilion with Ruyu, infiltrated and took a look,
Qi Xiaoyun had already fallen asleep on his side on the bed.
The two glanced at each other, shrugged helplessly, and carefully picked up the broken cup on the ground.
Firecracker was scolded by the second lady, and ran back to the small courtyard with red eyes.
When I went to the East Garden in the evening, my eyes were still swollen.
"What's wrong? Why are your eyes red? ”
An Tranquility asked with concern.
"It's okay....."
The firecracker pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetched.
"How's the old lady?"
"I drank the medicine and fell asleep, and I didn't eat dinner.
It's been less than an hour to be sober......"
"Alas! Then I'll not go in yet, don't wake her up again. ”
Firecrackers sat on the cloister, only to feel that their feet were sore.
She sat on the big locust tree in the small courtyard for an afternoon, and when she jumped down, she found that her leg was a little numb, and she almost sprained her foot again.
"How is the second lady's body? There hasn't been any movement in South Park lately. ”
An Ning sat down beside her.
"It's good, it's just that it's inconvenient to travel with a big belly."
Firecracker laughed self-deprecatingly: "So the second lady asked me to come to the East Garden more often, so that she could know how the old lady's condition was." ”
"What else can you ..... If the old lady continues like this, I'm afraid she won't survive for half a year. ”
An Ning's face was solemn, and her brows were tightly locked.
"I heard that the old lady ordered a coffin for the old lady outside a few days ago?"
Firecracker asked.
"Well, it's said that it's prepared, and it's another rush, maybe it's a rush,
It can make the old lady's illness better. An Ning replied.
"We can't get involved in the affairs of our masters, we just have to do our best."
"The old lady loves to listen to the scriptures, and she can't sit up, and she still thinks about those few scriptures.
I'll go to the study and look for some later, and I'll think about her when I have nothing to do. ”
The firecrackers looked at the sun gradually falling, thinking that the old lady in the house was also like the sunset.
Maybe when a gust of wind blows, it will be blown away, and I can't help but feel uncomfortable for a while.
"The old lady really didn't hurt you in vain....."
An Ning looked at her and smiled with relief.
"Sister An Ning too, in order to take care of the old lady, the days of connecting relatives have been postponed ......"
"The old lady is like this now, if I swagger out of the house to get married, won't I have no conscience."
An Ning sighed: "The old lady is kind to me, I have been by the old lady's side since I was a child,
In the winter when I was nine years old, if it weren't for the old lady who went out to worship and picked me up in the snow alley,
I still don't know if I'll be able to live in the world....."
"And what about your relatives?"
Firecracker couldn't help but ask.
"My family originally lived in a small village hundreds of miles away, although my father and mother went to the city to do business,
I didn't want to be intercepted by the robbers halfway, my father and mother tried desperately to cover me to escape, but they died under the knife.
I was alone in the Imperial City, and I had been begging for a living.
My uncle's family only moved into the Imperial City when I was twelve years old, and when the old lady found out, she told me their address.
And often let me go back to visit relatives, the old lady intended to send me out of the house, but because my uncle's family is also poor,
I couldn't get more rations for one person, so I stayed with her for a few more years, but I didn't expect my uncle to make money in business last year.
The days are getting better and better, so I told me a good family affair, just waiting for me to go back from the house. ”
"Sister An Ning is also a good fate, there is an old lady to take care of her in the front, and a good husband to find relatives in the back."
Firecrackers felt a little envious at this time.
"You're not bad, you have a status in the house at a young age, and the second lady and the old lady value you a lot.
If you want to find a good family in the future, isn't it easy? ”
"It doesn't matter if you're close or not......"
When it comes to family affairs, Firecrackers thinks of Shan Heng again, if one day her and Shan Heng's affairs are known by the masters,
I don't know if it will shock everyone's jaws.
Will there be gossip that she is greedy for vanity, seduces the waiters, and does some unseemly things behind the backs of her masters?
"Firecrackers...... Firecracker? ”
An Ning saw that she was silent for a long time, and turned her head to see that her eyes were staring straight at the corner.
I knew that she was wandering away from the world again.
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"What are you thinking? Aren't you really in a hurry to get married? ”
"Where, how can I have this mind now, I just hope that the old lady's health will gradually improve, and she will be happy and healthy."
"I'll go out of the house tonight to put a lamp on the old lady and pray for blessings."
An Ning said.
"I'll come with you, right?"
"No need, I have other things to do tonight than put the lights on....."
An Ning lowered her head slightly, as if she was a little shy.
"Oh, you're going to meet your husband-to-be?"
Firecrackers are clear.
"Not ....."
"Okay, okay, I won't ask, I just don't follow."
Firecracker held back a laugh and stood up.
