As we enter the middle of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, but what is even more worrying is that for more than 20 days, not a drop of rain has fallen. The weather was not only hot, but also very dry. Except for the cooler mornings and nights, it is very hot during the day even when you sit in the house, and even if you put an ice basin on it, it will not work.

The day before yesterday, the saint finally couldn't hold it back and gave the order to worship the heavens. So Qin Tianjian was busy.

At the same time, Zhou Ruijing was also busy. Zhou Ruijing has been extremely busy these days, gradually returning later and later, and it has been dark for the past few days before coming back.

The old lady is older, her body is not as good as the young man, and when the weather is hot, her appetite is not good, and she has suffered from heat stroke these days, and people are very uncomfortable.

The old lady's illness made the Zhou family suddenly busy - as a descendant, the old lady in the family is sick, so she has to serve her. So in the past few days, except for the second wife who has to manage the middle feed, Gu Wanyin and the third wife have gone over early in the morning and only returned to the house to rest after dinner.

Seeing the old lady like this, Gu Wanyin was very worried about her grandmother, so she asked people to come over to greet her every few days. It's just that the sun is too scorching, and because the old lady is sick, she can't go back, so she can only send people back to visit.

I don't know if it's because the court is now tense everywhere, the Yang family finally relented, and the hurting incident finally came to an end. It can also be regarded as yuánmǎn.

Now the only thing Gu Wanyin still has to worry about is Gu Congqi's next placement and the issue of renewing Gu Changfei's strings. However, these things are not in a hurry.

Gu Wanyin and the third wife served the old lady with dinner. Who knew that the old lady only glanced at it, then pushed away the rice bowl and frowned: "If you don't want to eat, serve it." ”

Gu Wanyin and the third wife glanced at each other, and each saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Since yesterday, the old lady has been a grain of rice that does not stick to her teeth, and she only drank a few sips of soup.

"The old lady has two bites." Gu Wanyin patiently persuaded. The bodies of the old people are not as good as those of the younger ones, although there are ginseng soup tonics. But the best thing is to raise people with grains. Isn't it said as the folk saying goes, people are iron, and rice is steel. If the whole grain is cut off, this person will have no energy, how can he survive the scorching summer?

The old lady frowned and said, "There is no taste in the mouth, don't eat it." ”

"Why don't you drink a bowl of mung bean soup?" The third wife was busy holding a bowl of mung bean soup again, and now that the heat is in full swing, eating some mung bean soup can always relieve the heat. It's also better than just drinking a decoction.

However, the old lady still refused to open her mouth. "What does the old lady want to eat?" Gu Wanyin said softly: "It doesn't matter what it is;." Always have something to eat. Whether it's sweet or sour, even if it's dragon liver and phoenix gall, as long as the old lady says, we will always find a way to get it. ”

"It's hard for you to be filial. It's just that I don't really have much of an appetite. The old lady spoke with a sense of weakness. If it goes on like this. It won't last long. "Okay, don't surround me all the time, go back and rest."

Listened to this. Even though he was worried, he had to retreat and let the old lady lie down.

"It's not an option." The third lady sighed and wiped the sweat on her face with a handkerchief: "Yesterday, when your third uncle came back to see the old lady like this, he was angry with me. ”

"The prince is also very worried." Thinking of Zhou Ruijing's frowning brows because of the old lady and the imperial court, Gu Wanyin was also uncomfortable in her heart. It's really not a way to go on like this. The doctor who saw the doctor said that as long as he had an appetite, he could eat. That's half the way. This is the case only with the old lady.

"The third aunt will go and rest for a while, and I'll think about ideas." Since the old lady said that she had no appetite, she might be able to eat something delicious.

The third lady sighed helplessly and nodded. When the sun came out, the sweat on this man's body never stopped. After noon, I lost my spirit.

Gu Wanyin went straight back to her room. When Danzhi saw her coming back, he immediately frowned and reprimanded Suqin and Helu, who followed: "With such a big sun, why don't you persuade some princesses?" The old lady is sick now, if the princess suffers from heat stroke again, be careful of your skin! When the time comes, the prince will start a fire, and I think which of you will stand up to it? ”

In a few words, Su Qin and Helu couldn't raise their heads.

Gu Wanyin hurriedly spoke: "Okay Danzhi, how dare they oppose my orders?" Let me ask you, how was the last time we tried to learn the kimchi from Shudi? ”

Danzhi thought for a moment, "Put it in the kitchen." I tasted it once, and it was very sour and crunchy. It's just too sour. ”

"Well, then take some and cook a bowl of sour soup for the old lady. Then boil a bowl of refreshing chicken and green vegetable porridge. Gu Wanyin commanded, and couldn't help fanning the wind. All the way back, the sun was so big that the sweat almost soaked the clothes.

Danzhi was still a little hesitant: "Isn't this appropriate?" I've tasted it, but no one has ever eaten it before, if ...... After all, the old lady is old, what should she do if her stomach can't help it? "The old lady is not in good health, if she eats this, she is afraid that it will be difficult to explain. The second wife had already stretched her neck and waited to find out the fault on the side of the big house.

What Danzhi said, Gu Wanyin didn't expect it. It's just that now, what else can be taken care of? I just want the old lady to eat some food, so that Zhou Ruijing can worry about it. Seeing that Zhou Ruijing had lost weight in a few days, she felt indescribably distressed.

Besides, this kimchi is not poisonous or stiff, and if you boil it and make it soft, it will not be a big problem.

Wait until the dish and porridge are ready. Gu Wanyin hurried to the old lady's house again.

At this time, the second lady was also busy, and she also came to serve the old lady. Seeing Gu Wanyin coming in from outside, his wife immediately frowned: "Wanyin, how can the old lady leave here so easily?" Your third aunt is an elder, she is also older, and it is common for her to be unable to hold on, so you should take care of it more when you are young. Why did you leave casually? If you are really sleepy and want to take a nap, you can just make do with it in the old lady's house......"

Gu Wanyin raised her head and looked straight at the second wife: "As long as the second aunt takes care of the middle feed, the rest naturally doesn't have to be cāo's heart;." Even if I'm gone, there are still three aunts. Or is it - the second aunt doesn't trust me and the third aunt? Looking at the second wife's refreshed appearance, the second wife must have taken a nap before getting up. And she and the third wife, these days are guarding day by day, where is there such leisure?

On weekdays, the second wife is always courteous in front of the old lady. But when it really comes time to ask someone to serve the old lady, the second wife's excuse is to increase - if she really has the heart, even if she is busy, she can squeeze out time, right? Isn't there something wrong with the third wife and her?

And the old lady only let the second wife take care of the feed, and did not let the second wife come to serve in person. This point has become the best shield for the second wife.

The second wife only felt that Gu Wanyin's eyes were sharp and sharp, and her bright eyes showed a coldness, as if she had seen through everything, and seeing that she had a tough attitude and was not humble and submissive, she sneered: "Yes, I am naturally relieved." It's just that I didn't expect to have time to come and take a look today, but I saw such a scene! I'm going to ask you, what's going on? ”

The second wife was so aggressive, and the smile on Gu Wanyin's face that was still on her face suddenly turned cold: "Second aunt, is this pursuing me?" Okay, if the second aunt is not at ease, then how about I exchange it with the second aunt? Second aunt, you have always known the old lady's preferences, and it must be more appropriate for you to serve the old lady. ”

The second lady frowned, "What is this?" If I don't care about the feed, it is naturally incumbent. It's just me now—"

The third lady was woken up by Mrs. He, and came out of the ear room at this moment, but she didn't look at the second wife, and said straightly: "The old lady can't leave people around her, why don't you go in Wanyin?" ”

Gu Wanyin looked at the second wife and smiled slightly: "That's exactly what happened, if the second aunt has any opinions, I will come back to be taught, but now it is still the old lady who matters." After a pause, he said, "If the second aunt feels that the housekeeper is hard, the third aunt and I are willing to help." ”

The second wife was shocked, but she dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Although the second wife has always been in charge, the old lady only said that it was in charge. It means that in the future, after Zhou Ruijing gets married, he will return the power of the housekeeper to the big house. If it weren't for the fact that the old lady didn't like Gu Wanyin, I was afraid that the second lady would have to hand over the housekeeper's key a long time ago.

At this time, seeing Gu Wanyin mentioning the right of housekeeper everywhere, the second wife was shocked for a while-lest someone would make an excuse to take the housekeeper power out of her hands. Therefore, he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Gu Wanyin saw that the second wife had a gloomy face but was silent, so she continued to laugh; "Second aunt, I'll go in."

After that, he led the two girls around the second wife and entered the inner room. The old lady was still asleep, so Gu Wanyin asked Danzhi to warm the porridge and sit quietly on the edge of the bed and wait. I picked up the needle and thread that had been left in the old lady's place and made it. She was here at all times these days, and the old lady was asleep most of the time. She just wanted to make a pair of boots for Zhou Ruijing.

Thinking of the second wife's questioning, Gu Wanyin was a little unhappy in her heart. During this period of time, the suppression of the second room on the big house has become more and more obvious. Especially the second wife, she always keeps looking for opportunities to give her a faceless and embarrass her.

The relationship between the second room and the big room has long been walking on thin ice, and if you are not careful, you will tear your face. Now that the old lady is sick, she doesn't want to make the old lady happy, otherwise, how can she make the second lady faceless. Even if you can't get back the right to be a housekeeper for a while, you should always let the second wife understand that their big house is not something that can be bullied and suppressed.

As soon as Gu Wanyin calmed down, the second and third wives also came in.
