Chapter 64: Reversal (II)
Zhu's suddenly fell. There was a panic in the room.
Yu Shao pulled out her legs and went out to call the Imperial Doctor Liu, who had not had time to leave, and the green calyx was busy pouring medicine and pinching people, but the other two first-class girls moved back, and then stood there motionless. As for those little girls, they couldn't see through Chen Ying, the third old man who had never been at home, and they were all stunned when they saw that he dared to put it right with the old lady.
Except for Mrs. Xu in the third room, she was really scared, and Aunt Luo and Chen Xi all had a feeling of raising their eyebrows. But the family in the second room has a different taste. Chen Jiu seemed to know this younger brother for the first time, watching him step forward and help Zhu's family, and scolding the girl sharply, his eyes were extremely complicated, with both envy and jealousy, and there was also an indescribable relief.
And Mrs. Ma looked at her brother-in-law and her husband, and remembered the situation when the Marquis of Yangning came to propose marriage, and she actually felt a trace of remorse. She is a concubine, although Chen Jiu is a concubine at that time, but there is no concubine in Yangninghou's Mansion after all, so she tried her best to get past the rest of the sisters without asking anyone, and after Chen Jiu attacked Fengyang Ninghou, she also lived a good life for a few years. But think about it now. Chen Jiu was desperately flattering the Zhu family before she inherited the title, and after she inherited the title, she would only enjoy herself and do nothing else, how could she be blind and marry such a mediocre and useless man now?
Chen Lan was just holding Chen Yan aside at first, but seeing that the girls were in a panic at this time, the green calyx turned her head and looked at herself with a pleading gaze, she didn't know that no matter because of the first thing or the emperor's will, she couldn't really watch from the wall, so she whispered a word to Chen Yan and stepped forward to help. While waiting for Imperial Physician Liu to arrive, she glanced at Chen Ying from time to time, and saw that although he was frowning, he was obviously not nervous, and immediately thought to herself.
In recent days, a series of things are like a master playing chess, one by one, forcing forward, making people breathless, she has just arrived, after all, there are too many situations that cannot be understood, according to her heart, she is not willing to stay in this whirlpool. Chen Ying came back so strongly today, if the Zhu family was in good health, what if it was because of this...... She glanced at Chen Ying again out of the corner of her eye, and saw that her face was full of concern and a little mockery, and she suddenly became more alert.
After a while, Imperial Physician Liu hurried over. She and the other ladies and girls hurriedly avoided the pins, only Chen Ying and the two mothers were outside. Sure enough, through the gap in the door curtain, she saw that Imperial Physician Liu was startled when she saw Zhu's situation, and hurriedly stepped forward to prick needles and inject medicine. It took a lot of tossing to wake people up, and then they said a lot of medical theories. However, Zhu Shi didn't even have the strength to speak at this time, how could he have the heart to listen to this, he just worked hard and beat the edge of the kang.
Seeing this, Chen Ying said unhurriedly: "Doctor Liu, the old lady's illness has been a long-standing illness for many years, and now it is mostly a sudden onset and a little anxious, so you don't have to panic too much." If there is nothing else bad, please prescribe medicine as before. If you think you can't do it, then I'll immediately take the post to the hospital and ask the high court to take a look! ”
At this moment, there was silence in the room, and Zhu's gasping sound was clearly audible. Seeing that Imperial Physician Liu seemed to be a little surprised, Zhu finally held back a few words: "Please ask Imperial Physician Liu to go down and prescribe a prescription!" ”
Seeing the strange atmosphere in this room, Imperial Physician Liu was just a little Imperial Doctor, how dare he get involved in the activities of these wealthy families, so he hurriedly saluted and retired. Now that he was gone, the ladies hurried out of the room. Chen Lan still went up to Zhu again, and glanced at Chen Ying again.
But just when she looked over, Chen Ying turned her head and looked back, her eyes flashed, and she immediately avoided it as if nothing happened. Before she could make any moves, Chen Ying actually stood up again. Respectfully waved to Zhu's family: "Old lady, although my son has been away for a long time, he knows that you have always had the old problem of palpitations and panic. This disease is not serious, but it is not easy to recuperate in a place like the capital where the breath is turbid and there are many people with mixed mouths. According to the son's wishes, why don't you raise them for a while......"
"You...... How dare you ......"
Zhu's throat surged for a while, and finally supported Chen Lan, and only then did he barely maintain his body. However, in the past, her eyes could scare away all the people with ulterior motives in the family, but now she can't deter this concubine she hates the most. Chen Ying still has that respectful face, and no one can find any falsehood with the smile on her face.
"Old lady, my son is also thinking about you." Chen Ying didn't seem to see Chen Lan who was being held by Zhu's hand at all, and slowly stepped forward, whispering a few words close to Zhu's ear, seeing that he was stunned for a moment, he retreated, still lowering his eyes and said, "In addition, the marriage contract between the Su family and the Chen family that the old lady said before, since there is an agreement, naturally people can't laugh at our Hou Mansion for breaking the contract." said that the old marquis originally planned to marry his daughter into the Su family, but now that the old lady sees that the girl of the Su family is so good, she wants to marry her back as her granddaughter-in-law, so naturally she has no choice. But none of my sons have a concubine, and there is no suitable second room, but the fourth child in the long room is now twelve, and he is a son-in-law, which is exactly the promise of the old marquis......"
Listening to it, Chen Lan couldn't hold back anymore. Seeing that the younger brother Chen Yan's face changed, but she gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound, although she was still holding Zhu with one hand, her eyes raised to look at Chen Ying, and then whispered two words in Zhu's ear. At this moment, Mrs. Xu, who had always been silent, didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly interrupted the conversation: "Master, this is the marriage set by the old marquis, and the old lady is here, and the old lady is in charge." ”
None of the people in the family dared to speak up, Chen Lan dared to lean over to speak to the Zhu family at this moment, and his wife, who had always been submissive, dared to fight with him, Chen Ying was a little surprised, and couldn't help frowning, and then smiled slightly. He was about to speak, when Zhu Shi heard Chen Lan's words in his ear, he suddenly recovered from the shock, although his voice was a little hoarse, but he no longer had the impatience that had just been carried away by anger. She looked coldly at the room full of people, and said word by word: "The elder and the young are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, I am still here, you are just the uncle of the two sisters and brothers in the long house." It's not your turn to call the shots in this marriage! You said before that you have set up a marriage for Han'er and Pingjiangbo's family, I want to remind you, don't forget that Han'er is your eldest son! ”
"What the old lady said is, how can I, as a father, be partial? Qing'er is older after all, so I have already set a decision for him. It is the eldest daughter of Xu Zongbing, who guards Liaodong, and we have exchanged letters in recent years. Although he is far away in Liaodong, his family is in Beijing, and I am planning to ask my wife to visit me in two days, so as to settle the matter as soon as possible. ”
Chen Ying said that Chen Qing's marriage had also been decided. Chen Lan only felt that the hand holding her wrist tightened suddenly, and the huge force made her have to grit her teeth, but what was even more shocking was Chen Ying's resoluteness.
She naturally didn't believe that when she met Ping Jiangbo on the road, she decided to get married, and she exchanged letters with Xu Zongbing, and she decided if she had fate, but the confidence revealed in Chen Ying's words made her a little uncertain. Moreover, people like Chen Ying would never relax because their sister and brother were only used by the old lady at the beginning, otherwise they would not have stuffed Su Wan'er to Chen Yan as soon as they opened their mouths. Moreover, since the emperor made that will, it is impossible for her to protect Chen Yan alone.
"Good, good! In the end, you have been honed on the battlefield for more than ten or twenty years, and you are doing things vigorously and resolutely, and your two brothers are far inferior to you. Zhu glanced at Chen Jiu and saw that his face couldn't hide the shock, and Mrs. Ma had already bit her lip unconsciously, so she said lightly, "In this case, let's discuss the marriage of the Su family again." I know my illness, so I don't need you to worry about it. Third child, you have been out for many years, and you hurried back in a hurry, presumably it should have been someone on your back, and you should have gone back to rest earlier, as for the others, they have dispersed. Three girls, you go back and see what the prescription is for Imperial Doctor Liu. ”
Chen Lan knew that this was something that the Zhu family would have to say later, but now it was just an excuse to find a side excuse for the time being, and he agreed and went out. When she came to the door, she saw Chen Yanzheng looking at her with concern, so she quietly gave a look. When she went out of the room and went down the steps, the red snail who had been outside followed, and when she saw that she didn't know whether she was cold or frightened, her face was a little white, but her eyebrows and eyes were full of worry, so she said softly: "It's okay, don't panic." ”
said that he was going to see the prescription of Imperial Doctor Liu, but there was a difference between men and women, so Chen Lan naturally just called a mother to ask. Knowing that the prescription had been opened, he ordered someone to invite Imperial Doctor Liu to the east wing. Seeing it through the screen, she asked bluntly: "Imperial Doctor Liu, you were recommended by the princess, and it is not the first time to see the old lady's illness." You have seen the situation just now, and I only want to ask you the truth, what is the old lady's illness? ”
"This ......" Doctor Liu has worked in the Tai Hospital for many years, and knows that she can only say three points if she has something to say to these female relatives in the deep house, so she hesitated and laughed again, "The old lady is just old, and she is an old ......problem."
"Then, Imperial Physician Liu may guarantee that if the old lady is angry again, there will be no accidents?"
Chen Lan interrupted Imperial Physician Liu's words suddenly, although she couldn't see the expression on the other party's face through the screen, but just from the appearance of this suddenly mute person, she knew that the situation was definitely not so optimistic. The Zhu family doesn't really love their sisters and brothers, but at the moment, the entire Chen family is in charge, and the second room is not competitive and the third room can't be controlled, so the old lady just took a fancy to their young sisters and brothers. However, if the old lady really has three strengths and two weaknesses, the third uncle Chen Jiu can justifiably manipulate them just because he is the Marquis of Yangning and their direct elders, so she must not let the Zhu family make any mistakes.
Chen Ying's voice was extremely low when she said to Zhu just now, and she tried her best to hear it clearly. Being able to make the Zhu family angry like that is probably not unusual. It's just that this third uncle should not just be angry for a while, I'm afraid that he has any other plans, just to force his mother with his son, and his reputation is not good. Since he has made the first year of junior high school, he can't complain about others doing fifteen! Now we can't let the old lady blindly face Chen Ying's pressure, we have to find another way, and it is best to retreat as advance.
Chen Lan didn't speak, and Imperial Doctor Liu outside couldn't help but sweat coldly, and it took a long time for Ai Ai to say: "Mrs. Tai can't work hard or move her anger with this illness, I'm afraid it's best to choose a quiet and elegant place to recuperate for a while." ”
That's it!
