Chapter 44: Fear

Seeing that she seemed to be having a nightmare, Peach Blossom couldn't help but push, "Girl, wake up." ”

Mao Tongtong was in pain, and suddenly woke up after hearing the sound of peach blossoms, and sat up immediately.

"Girl!" Peach Blossom was startled, and then said in surprise: "Girl, you finally woke up." The slave is going to call the doctor! ”

Mao Tongtong listened to the familiar voice of Peach Blossom, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't leave, she was still here. This thought made her heart feel relieved. It's not that she doesn't have nostalgia for the modern age. Rather, when a person has enjoyed the life of being held in the palm of his hand, it is difficult to think about living that kind of life alone.

touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and Mao Tongtong's body was soft and lay down again. At this time, Lotus and Mama Wu hurriedly ran in.

"The girl is awake!" When Mama Wu saw her open her eyes, her face was excited.

The lotus flower also looks thankful.

"Does the girl feel uncomfortable in any way?" Mama Wu touched Mao Tongtong's forehead while asking, and a smile appeared on her face, "Ouch, the fever has also subsided, now it's okay." ”

"Mama, I'm thirsty." Mao Tongtong said softly.

Lotus had already hurriedly poured hot water.

"Is the girl hungry? Is it good to drink some porridge? Mama Wu said softly.

"Mama, I want to eat braised pork!" Mao Tongtong said coquettishly.

Mama Wu laughed, "It's good to want to eat!" However, the girl's illness has not yet recovered, and the doctor can instruct her to eat lightly. Is it okay to eat this braised pork in two days? ”

Listening to Mama Wu's tone like coaxing a child, Mao Tongtong's heart was warm, and she responded obediently: "Okay, listen to Mama." ”

"The doctor is here, the doctor is here!" Peach Blossom rushed in angrily, holding a doctor with half a hundred hair in his hand.

The doctor was pulled by the peach blossoms and staggered, and almost didn't stumble over the threshold.

"Hurry up, my girl is awake!" Peach blossom roared urgently.

The Su family also followed in, and the Chen sisters soon followed. A room full of people stared at the doctor and took Mao Tongtong's pulse.

"The girl's fever has subsided, but the symptoms have not been completely eliminated. The old man made a prescription and ate three pairs. Pay attention to keep warm, and eat lightly in recent days. When the medicine is finished, drink some nourishing soup to nourish your body. The doctor spoke in detail, which made everyone in the room breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm tired." Su Shi said with a smile, and asked the doctor to go down to prescribe a prescription, and by the way, he gave the consultation money.

"My sister is awake, and we've all been scared out for the past two days." Chen Ruzhu sat on the edge of the bed and took Mao Tongtong's hand.

"It's mine, it's not it, it's worrying everyone." Mao Tongtong looked apologetic. Living in someone's house, such a sick person, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful. She's not a troublemaker, and I'm sorry.

"What do you say! Is it because you want to get sick? Su Shi walked over and said, "Speaking of which, it's all my negligence that I didn't take care of you, and I'll write to your mother another day to make amends." ”

"Uncle, farewell!" Mao Tongtong hurriedly said: "I have caused a lot of trouble to my aunt. Besides, let my mother know about this, but it only increased her worries, so it's better not to tell her. ”

"You're such a sensible person." Su Shi sighed and said, "Recuperate with peace of mind." Whatever you want to eat, just let people say. It's like your own home. ”

"Thank you, aunt, it's already good." Mao Tongtong smiled gratefully.

Chen Ruyu didn't speak on the side. She couldn't see that her family attached so much importance to Mao Tongtong. In her heart, she even suspected that Mao Tongtong was deliberately ill to attract attention. If Chen Ruzhu hadn't pulled her here, she wouldn't want to see it!

Seeing Mao Tongtong drink the medicine, Su took the two Chen sisters and left, and repeatedly told her to take medicine and recuperate.

After this toss, Mao Tongtong was really hungry. Waiting for the lotus to bring the porridge, I drank three bowls in one go before stopping. That's it, but Mama Wu was so happy that she recited Amitabha Buddha directly.

By the time Mao Tongtong was completely cured, it would have been half a month later. It is the depths of winter in the capital, and the dripping water is turning into ice. Mao Tongtong has never been outdoors again, and stays in the house almost all day. Even Mama Ai's class was changed to be held indoors to prevent them from getting frostbitten.

As soon as he entered the wax moon, seeing that the New Year was about to be celebrated, Mao Tongtong missed the Chen family more and more, but there was also a kind of uneasiness that was slowly growing. After the New Year, the draft is only a month away. I don't know when the determination of the defeat has become uncertain.

Yangzhou, the second hometown of her two lives, suddenly had a feeling that she could never go back. Mao Chengyun, Chen, and Mao Yinxuan were the people who supported her through these three years of otherworldly life, why did they also have a feeling of permanent separation?

"Mao Tongtong, you're still scared after all." She smiled self-deprecatingly in her heart.

How can you not be afraid? There are so many seniors in the novel. There are those who have opened their golden fingers to change history and destiny; There are also those who work hard but become cannon fodder female partners. What about her? Which one will it be?

However, no matter what she thinks, the draft, which she has been waiting for for a year, has finally arrived.

Many years later, Mao Tongtong still remembers that day clearly.

In the early spring, there is still a chill in the air. The sun had just set, and all kinds of carriages were lined up under the high palace walls outside the Di'an Gate. They are all show girls waiting to enter the palace to participate in the election. Mao Tongtong had already separated from the Chen sisters at this time. They belong to different flags, so the order of the carriage is also different. When the palace gate opened, the carriage slowly drove in, and there was silence all around, except for the sound of the carriage pressing on the ground. Mao Tongtong only felt that a heart was beating uneasily with the rolling sound of the car.

It was not until they reached the Shenwu Gate that the carriage finally stopped, and many tall, short, fat and thin girls with different appearances walked down one after another. There was expectation, nervousness, fear, and apprehension on everyone's faces.

Mao Tongtong looked around, but she didn't see Zhao Furong, the daughter of Yangzhou General Zhao, who belonged to the same banner as her.

There are unfamiliar faces in front and back. But at this time, she was not allowed to back down. I could only follow the team and walked into the palace gate under the guidance of the eunuch.

The long and narrow palace road seems to have no end in sight. The show girls walked silently with their heads bowed, and the atmosphere was a little dull. Mao Tongtong felt that it became difficult to breathe.

At this time, she knew that when she was about to face the supreme imperial power, there was nothing new in her heart. Yes, it's just a deep fear.

In modern times, she is just a girl from an ordinary family. came to the Qing Dynasty, and Ama was just a five-grade petty official. She is just an ordinary girl. And these people at the top of power in the Forbidden City can kill her with a word.

The so-called idea of playing tickets before, this will be gone.
