Chapter Ninety-Five: The Frightened Bird (I)
Mrs. Lu and the Jiang family went for a full hour before they turned back. Wen Yi was worried that her grandmother's body couldn't stand it, so she hurriedly asked someone to set the meal, but Jiang Shi said with some uncertainty: "I still don't eat here, the affairs of Hui'er and An'er, the affairs of the fifteenth brother and sister, and the old lady Wang's side, there are still many things to do." Auntie, please forgive me for missing me. β
Old Madam Lu smiled and said, "Then you can go, and come back when you have time." I'm home with my granddaughter, and I'm trying to find someone to talk to. You can tell me about the allusions to the capital. β
Jiang responded affectionately, and then said goodbye and left. Wen Yi kept sending her out of the door, turned back, and saw her grandmother sitting at the dining table, Shi Nan and Shui Otter were setting up a meal, her little face was slightly red, so she walked over and saluted: "Grandmother." Then he sat down, lowered his head and said, "How is Aunt Fifteen?" You've been gone for so long, and your granddaughter is worried at home! β
Mrs. Lu said "um" casually, and when the girls had set up the meal, she only said "let's eat", and then began to eat.
Wen Yi was stunned, but she was worried that she was hungry, so she didn't ask any more and obediently lowered her head to eat. When he finished eating, Shi Nan led people to remove the dishes and chopsticks, sent hot tea, and retreated, and Mrs. Lu said, "Your fifteenth aunt...... It doesn't look good...... She was already frail, and in the past few months, in order to keep filial piety, she has become thinner and thinner, and she has not gotten out of bed for more than a month. Just now I looked at her appearance, and I was afraid that she would be launched in the next few days, but I was afraid that she would not be able to hold on. β
Wen Yi was taken aback: "What did Aunt Seventeen do?!" Then he remembered Jiang's words: "Did the eldest aunt ask the old lady Wang to ask for a doctor?" But this doctor may not be good at gynecology?! "To tell the truth, people from Tai Hospital are extremely proficient in medical skills, but they may not be proficient in everything, in comparison, she is more confident in Dr. Xiao, who has been a doctor in the mountains for many years.
Old Madam Lu sighed: "Old Doctor Xiao is practicing medicine everywhere, even if we send people over, we may not be able to find anyone, but your fifteenth aunt is here, but it can't be delayed." Although Mrs. Wang is better at internal medicine conditioning, he is a veteran doctor with excellent medical skills, and he is always better than ordinary doctors. She looked at her granddaughter: "I asked the girl in the ninth room, your seventeenth aunt...... I didn't say anything special, just a clichΓ©. Most of the time, your fifteenth aunt has a knot in her heart, and she thinks that her words have deep meaning - it's not that your grandmother said that she thinks too much, which is not a good thing. Now that she doesn't even believe in your seventeenth uncle except for our family, subtly, your sixth and eleventh brothers will inevitably ......."
Wen Yi was silent. Although she felt that Uncle Seventeen was a little wronged, she didn't think that he was very innocent, if it weren't for the fact that he only let his wife come to take care of the widow in order to avoid suspicion, Aunt Seventeen was a selfish person, and she couldn't speak, and it wouldn't have caused today's embarrassment. If it's just to avoid suspicion and get closer to his nephew, who says he's not? It is precisely because he does not come to the door and only asks his wife to come forward that he will arouse suspicion.
Wen Yi was tired of these trivial matters, so she said: "This is the housekeeping of the ninth room, and it is inconvenient for my grandmother and I to say anything, so I just don't care about it, it is thankless." We just need to take care of Aunt Fifteen. By the way, today's aunt went over, and the fifteenth aunt ...... Didn't say anything, did you? She was really worried that the Xu family would be angry with the Jiang family, if nothing else, she was afraid that her grandmother would lose face.
Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "I took it personally, she has complaints in her heart, and she will not lack courtesy." What's more, in the matter of your fifteenth uncle, although Changfang has to bear a lot of responsibility, it is not your eldest uncle and husband who are doing it. As for Wen Hui and Wen'an, it has little to do with the real cause of your fifteenth uncle's death. If there is a debtor, she will hate your second uncle and second aunt for not rescuing effectively, hate your third aunt for being ruthless, hate the fifth room for opening the black wooden wall and put the thief in, hate the prince of Dongping for refusing to help, hate your seventeenth aunt and fifth aunt for falling into the well, but will not send all her anger on the child because of a few rumors. Therefore, when she saw your aunt, she was quite calm. After a pause, she put away her smile, "What's more, she still has three sons to take care of!" People cannot be resurrected from death, but they must always think more about the living. β
Wen Yi opened her mouth, bit her lower lip again, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Grandmother, why are you ...... Do you want to help your aunt? "His cheeks were slightly red," the news from Kyochu ...... She may not be the only one who knows...... Let's find someone else to inquire, it's the same......"
Old Madam Lu smiled slightly and glanced at her with deep meaning. Wen Yi felt that her face was hot, and she tried to calm down, and continued: "Besides, although Wen Hui has been punished, I heard that ...... She refused to stop and didn't feel like she was wrong...... Wouldn't it be nice to let her learn more lessons? Although the fifteenth aunt does not have much resentment towards her, she is always the person of the long house, and the fifteenth aunt looks at your face, but also in the face of several brothers, and treats the eldest aunt politely, but her heart ...... If we are unwilling, won't it damage the relationship between our two families? β
Old Madam Lu was stunned, and then laughed again: "You kid, what stupid things are you talking about?" No matter how bad Wen Hui is, she is also the daughter of the Gu family, and she has lived in Beijing for many years, a big living person, if she can't see it, she will disappear, if she really leaves home, it will be reminiscent of our Gu Zhuang being robbed, she has a bad reputation, and your sisters will also be affected. You are all good children with good rules and innocence, why bother to make her tired? β
Wen Yi lowered her head a little unwillingly, but she also had to admit that what her grandmother said was right.
Old Madam Lu said again: "What's more, although the patriarch has changed, your eldest uncle is still an official in the capital, and if they want to take their daughter away, your fourth uncle can't stop it after all." Since sooner or later we will be released, why should we be villains in vain and offend your aunt? Just think of it as a favor. Besides, Jiufang is not in a good situation now, and he needs external help, if your eldest aunt is willing to make a move, it will be your seventeenth aunt, and she will not dare to make a mistake. She smiled at her granddaughter, "I know that you and your sixth sister have always been at odds, and her temperament is indeed mean, but this matter is related to her life, so we don't have to worry too much about it, just let her leave here safely." β
Wen Yi bit her lip and said yes, there was always a little unhappiness in her heart. Of course, she knows that she has to be generous to others, a little overdone, and there is no need to bite people, but Wen Hui is different, in her previous life, she died under the sword of Wen Hui's companion! Although Wen Hui is not a murderer, she is also an accomplice! Although Wen Hui hasn't done anything bad in this life, after she was sent to Qinglian Nunnery, she has always made a fuss, and she refuses to reflect on herself, so she just let her go, how can she be willing? !
If Wen Hui knew that she was wrong and was willing to change it, she could still forgive her......
Wen Yi secretly glanced at her grandmother, and then suppressed her little unwillingness in her heart.
This matter was pressed, Wen Yi heard that night that the eldest aunt Jiang personally went to find the patriarch and his wife, saying that his husband and wife had been away for a long time, could not fulfill the responsibility of the patriarch, and had the trust of the clan, and now although there is a competent successor, but still hope to make some compensation, so he is willing to contribute to help the clansmen who suffered in the robbery to rebuild the family business, where there are casualties, each person can get another 20 taels of silver pension, the most damaged eight rooms, nine rooms, each got 100 acres of medium land, and the nine rooms also got a lot of medicinal materials. When the news came out, the image of the eldest husband and wife in the clan immediately became tall again, and everyone boasted that the patriarch was the patriarch, and he was extraordinary.
The husband and wife of the second room and the fourth master happily helped to manage this matter, and the fourth wife, Liu, also personally sent the pension silver one by one, and when she saw which family was really difficult, she also asked her family to send a few taels of silver to help. For a time, the eldest husband and wife and the fourth old man and wife had a great reputation among the clan.
At the same time, some people are secretly gossiping, pointing out that the second master and his wife in Changfang are far less generous and considerate than their brothers and sisters-in-law, and there are rumors that the second wife Duan is dissatisfied with her mother-in-law because Changfang lost her position as the patriarch, so she treats her slowly. Although no one said anything in front of her, the rumors in private continued. The second master was out socializing every day, and he didn't know if he had heard of these words, but the second wife, Duan, had reduced the number of times she went out. Jiang Shi saw it in his eyes, and only felt a sigh, but immediately had a headache - the people of the seventh room and other clansmen who were robbed of a lot of property in the robbery thought that their own family was also very badly damaged, and since the eldest lady had compensated for the eighth and ninth rooms, there was no reason not to compensate them! There are also four rooms and two houses, five rooms, which were excluded by the clansmen because of the banquet of the prince of Dongping, and unconvinced asked the Jiang family to go over to administer justice for them......
In this way, in this way, Gu Zhuangshang was lively for several days because of the arrival of the Jiang family.
Wen Yi waited for a few days, but she didn't wait for Jiang to come to the door again, thinking of Mama Zhao's words, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. However, Mrs. Lu was very calm, in addition to talking to her granddaughter and Mama Zhao every day, she went to the backyard to visit Mrs. Fifteen three times in the morning and evening, and asked her family to contact Dr. Xiao and ask him to come over to help see a doctor.
Seeing this, Wen Yi could only be patient, take care of the housework, and help Jiufang with everything.
On the night of September 15, Wen Yi was in her grandmother's house, counting the congratulatory gifts for Wen An's birthday on the 18th, and after a few accounts, she was about to leave her grandmother and go back to the room, but she heard a shocking knock on the door in the direction of the backyard, and her sixth cousin Wen Shun shouted in panic: "Uncle Grandmother!" Grandaunt! Something happened to my mother! Open the door! β
Wen Yi was startled, glanced at her grandmother, and hurriedly called Mrs. Lin: "Go and open the door at the back!" Then he asked the girl to inform the middle lady, and then went back to put on her grandmother's coat and helped her to the back door.
Wen Shun stood by the door with tears on his face, trembling all over: "Uncle, grandmother...... Mother...... Suddenly there was a lot of blood......"
Old Madam Lu's expression was grim: "Can you send someone to ask for Dr. Wenpo?!" β
Wen Shun nodded tremblingly: "Please...... But...... The nephew is scared...... Mother's blood...... More than the younger brother who was born that year......"
Old Madam Lu's face sank a little, and she instructed Wen Yi: "Take care of the house!" He called a daughter-in-law to help him into the backyard, Wen Shun stumbled up, and in the wing room of the backyard, there was also the cry of Xiao Seventeen Wenkang, and the maids and daughters in the courtyard were pale.
Wen Yi gritted her teeth, turned around and went to the front yard, and ordered Mrs. Zhong to bring all the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who had given birth at home, and then sat alone in the room and waited for the news.
Soon after, the screams of Mrs. Xu came from the direction of the backyard, and many people in the vicinity sent people to inquire about the situation, Wen Yi asked the housekeeper to send it away, so he took the book and read it in a distraught manner, but he couldn't read a word.
Aunt Fifteen is fine, why did something happen again?! The Jiufang family is really full of disasters and difficulties, I just hope that she can support the past, otherwise, the sixth brother Wenshun, the eleventh brother Wenquan, and the seventeenth brother Wenkang, and the younger brother or sister who is about to be born, aren't they as pitiful as her previous life?
Just as he was thinking about it, it was about to dawn, and the backyard was already silent, but suddenly there was a loud baby cry.
Wen Yi's eyes lit up, and she immediately woke up Hollyclock Shisu and the others: "Go and inquire, but the mother and son are safe?!" Then he couldn't hold back the smile on his face and hurriedly prepared a new student gift.
But after a while, Dong Kui came back with a little melancholy: "Mrs. Fifteen gave birth to a young lady, and the child is a little weak, but Mrs. Fifteen ...... But it's a little bad......"
Wen Yi's movements in her hands immediately paused, and she looked at her in a daze: "It's not good...... What's a bad way?! β
Dong Que hesitated for a moment before he said, "The slave doesn't know, but it's just ...... Dan'er and Indi'er in the ninth room were ordered to go out and invite the eldest wife and the fourth wife! β
The eldest aunt and the fourth aunt, please? Wen Yi couldn't figure it out. If you are not in good health, then you should go to a doctor! Do you want to ask your aunt to come forward and ask Mrs. Wang?! But...... Is that too late?!
The fourth wife, Liu, arrived in the backyard of the sixth room after a quarter of an hour, and after a stick of incense, the eldest wife, Jiang, also arrived. They had been in Mrs. Fifteen's maternity for a long time, and the people outside thought that something was wrong. After dawn, Mrs. Seventeen came with her servant, and when she heard about it, she was about to break into the mother's room, but was stopped by Jiang's maid and servant, and she was still there shouting: "Fifteen sisters-in-law! We are all people from the ninth room, don't be cheap for people from other rooms! β
Wen Shun stood in the corner with his two younger brothers in his arms, staring at her with hatred in his eyes.
After a while, Mrs. Zhong came out, glanced at Mrs. Seventeen, and then took the three of them in, without saying anything. Seeing this, Mrs. Seventeen became more and more anxious, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she instructed the girl: "Go back and invite the master to come!" Send someone to deliver a letter to Mrs. Wugu! β
By the time the seventeenth master arrived, it was already dawn, and there was a cry in the house, and the girl was crying: "Madam! Wife! And Wenkang's voice: "Mother......"
Wen Yi stood at the door of the backyard with the maid and the maid, and couldn't help but dim when she heard the voice, knowing that most of the fifteenth aunt had gone. She lowered her head to wipe away her tears, and called the housekeeper of the ninth room who was crying sadly: "Go and prepare for the future...... The money was first paid from our house. β
Hearing this, the seventeenth master turned his head sharply and said loudly: "The aftermath of my ninth room, naturally it is the ninth room that produces silver!" Don't bother with your niece! β
Wen Yi didn't say anything, only nodded to the butler, and the butler saluted and took the order, without glancing at the seventeenth master out of the corner of his eyes. The seventeenth old man's face immediately turned pale.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Mrs. Lu walked out first, holding a baby in her arms with a solemn expression, and Jiang and Liu followed behind. Everyone in the courtyard immediately turned their attention to them.
(Guess what's next?) Ask for a pink ticket ~~~)
