Chapter Twenty-Three: Withered
Chapter Twenty-Three: Withering
Seeing her so presumptuous, Qiyue's face turned pale with anger, and he said sharply: "What are you doing, now Fujin is happy, if you are frightened, you will not be able to atone for your sins......"
When Mama Liu heard this, she opened her eyes suddenly, looking at Ouyang with a solemn expression, and her face instantly turned dead, "...... Father...... Fu Jin, old slave, old slave doesn't know, it's really, it's really ......"
Ouyang didn't pay attention to her this time, got up from the bed with a straight face, stretched out his hand, Zhiyun also took his arm and got up, October hurriedly put on the cloak of the two masters, and the waiter also took the stove, but persuaded in a low voice: "Master, Fujin is now a double, it's better to think about it tomorrow." ”
Zhiyun shook his head and said in a low voice, "Go and see, otherwise I won't feel at ease." After speaking, he took the four maids of July, October, the book, and the sword, and strode out of the door.
Outside, the wind and snow were blowing, and the snowflakes were falling and falling, but they were just over the heads of this group, the courtyard was brightly lit, but the road was not very easy to walk, and when Zhiyun and Ouyang came to the autumn frost house where Ergege lived quietly, it was already completely dark.
The whole autumn frost is black and hollow, and the outside of the transparent environment is very incompatible, giving people a feeling, actually a little gloomy, with a coldness, the bedroom is lit to the lamp, there are two sturdy rough grandmothers sitting at the door, are dozing, Zhiyun looked at this scene, he frowned, covered his lips, and coughed lightly.
"Ah...... The slave maid asked the prince and Fujin to say goodbye. ”
The courtyard was silent, Zhiyun's cough made the two grandmothers turn pale with fright, and when they looked up, they saw the prince and Fujin, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, but their whole bodies trembled, and they didn't know what they were afraid of.
Ouyang and Zhiyun ignored these two people, and with a wave of their hands, July stepped forward and pushed the door of the bedroom open, opening the curtain, although Ouyang is a father, he is a man in the end, and it is not easy to enter his daughter's boudoir at night, so only Zhiyun walked in alone with the maids.
Ergege is the eldest daughter of Prince Yong's mansion, and it is recorded in the side of the jade plate Fujin, Zhiyun also loves her very much, the decoration of this house, of course, is excellence, because Jingrou has never liked the heavy wood of mahogany, so the furniture in her bedroom is all made of good yellow rosewood, the style is warm, with warmth, in the past, Zhiyun occasionally came over, and praised Jingrou's taste from time to time, but at this moment, this bedroom is cold and infiltrating.
The window was open, the snowflakes were splashing, the charcoal basin had long been extinguished, there were still dishes and chopsticks on the table, but the dishes on the plate had not moved at all, however, the residual temperature was still there, obviously it was not long after the pot, Zhiyun said in his heart, it seems that the people still dare not really starve this Wang Fu Gege
After looking around for a long time, I saw Jing Rou who was only wearing underwear and leaning on the bed in a daze, this look, Zhiyun couldn't help but be startled, this Wang Fu Gege, where is it still bright and delicate in the past?
A silk moon-white undershirt hung on her body so hollowly, and her little face was also very thin, which was simply described as withered. The complexion on the face is dull yellow, and the sides of the face are deeply sunken, to the point that the cheekbones are towering, and the eyes that have always been gentle and clear also show a dull dead light at this time, and the originally pink lips have turned blue-gray......
"Jingrou, what's wrong with you?" Zhiyun frowned, turned around, and said sharply to the two rough envoys who were kneeling at the door, "How did you serve?" How did Gege lose weight like this? What about apricots? Why don't you see apricots? ”
The two grandmothers were so frightened that they kowtowed, and stumbled and said: "Back to Fujin, the slave and maid really don't know, the side Fujin only ordered the slave and maid to guard the door of the house, and they were not allowed to go out, and the others, the other slaves and maids really don't know......"
Zhiyun didn't say anything, the two grandmothers cried, so that Jingrou woke up, as soon as she looked up, she saw Zhiyun, her face was first shocked, and then there was a faint trace of fear, her hands unnaturally grabbed the mattress, and after a long time, she remembered to salute Zhiyun, and said sneeringly: "Daughter to Guerjia Eniang, please ......"
This time, to make Zhiyun confused, she thinks that she is good to the children in the house, even if it is not as good as her own Honghao, but what they should have is not less than a point, food, clothing, housing and transportation, absolutely the same as Honghao, especially for Jingrou, Zhiyun also believes that her daughter should be pampered, and she is more strict with the two boys of Hongyun Hongshi, but she has always been gentle with Jingrou.
I wondered in my heart, but Zhiyun didn't show it on her face, she only stretched out her hand to help Jingrou sit down, and she also sat sideways on the bed, ignoring her a little shrunken, took off the small cloak on her body, put it on Jingrou, and held her little hand that was as cold as ice cubes in her hand, rubbed it for a moment, and then said softly: "Jingrou, you are not happy, don't be polite, come and sit down quickly and warm up." After speaking, he turned his head and rushed to the door, "You people who have no eyesight, why don't you hurry up and add two charcoal basins to Gege." ”
At this time, the two rough envoys naturally didn't dare to say, this is Gege did not allow them to enter the house, so they let the charcoal basin be cold, and quickly responded obediently, and neatly held the charcoal basin in, and the silver frost carbon ignited, and after a while, the house was a little warm.
Zhiyun didn't ask Jingrou what kind of heart she had in mind, so she boiled a good girl into this appearance, only sighed and said: "Good boy, don't care what you're for, you shouldn't be so bad about your own body, you Ama was accidentally injured when you went around this year, and it hasn't been well yet, if you see you like this tomorrow, you are in a hurry and hurt your body, then how can you get it, even if it is for you Amma, for your mother, you should take care of yourself." ”
When Jingrou heard this, the expression on her face moved, obviously thinking of Ouyang's kindness to her on weekdays, I don't know why, I suddenly felt a sour heart, it seemed that her emotions could not be suppressed no matter what, tears flowed down at once, she knew that it was extremely inappropriate, but she still unconsciously threw herself on the bed, crying bitterly, and crying until she was completely wet.
Zhiyun didn't persuade her, just patted Jingrou's shoulder gently, and after I don't know how long, Jingrou sobbed and stopped crying, maybe the pent-up emotions in her heart vented out, and her spirit was not as weak as just now, and her face also added a little color, but she may have cried too much, she was very tired, and she was actually drowsy and couldn't stand up straight.
Zhiyun sighed, and instructed October to bring a bowl of white porridge from the kitchen, and personally fed the dizzy Jingrou to drink, before letting her lie down, cover the quilt, and in the blink of an eye, Jingrou fell asleep.
At this moment, Mama Liu, who came over with October, gritted her teeth and kowtowed to Zhiyun and said, "Fujin is very kind, and the slave and maid will die hard...... My family Gege, my family Gege hasn't slept for days......"
In fact, Mama Liu will go to Zhiyun, and there is no way to do it, she is probably out of proportion.
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't think of any other way, Mama Liu wouldn't have avoided the real Lord Li and ran to Zhiyun. However, although the Li family is Jingrou's mother-in-law, from childhood to adulthood, Jingrou actually grew up with her own mother, and Mama Liu loves her as her own daughter.
This time something happened, Li Shi spoke harshly, not only scolded Jingrou, did not allow her to go out, she could only copy "Female Ring" and "Female Rule" in the house, and later, Mama Liu saw that her own Gege was very sad, and refused to eat, so she could only go to find Li, Li was Jingrou's mother, obviously anxious, but Liu Mama did not expect that Li stayed in Gege's house for a long time, but she went out with a pale face, and since then, Gege's personal girl Apricot has disappeared, and Gege is getting haggard day by day, Mama Liu cried and begged again, but Gege didn't say a word, only stunned, like a lost soul.
At this time, Mama Liu was scared, she was an old man who had been in the back house for decades, and she thought that she still had the eye to see people, and felt that although Guerjia Fujin was not Jingrou Gege's mother-in-law, but over the years, she had looked at her coldly from the side, this Fujin was a smart person, not mean, and really good to the Gege brothers in the house.
Although this matter from her own Gege is disgraceful, she doesn't want others to know about it, but even if Fujin knows, for the sake of the reputation of the palace, she will probably only find a way to cover up the past, and she begs her to help Gege, as long as she comes, even if she can't untie Gege's heart knot, she can always find a royal doctor or something, and give Gege a look, now the Li family doesn't care about his daughter at all, and he doesn't even allow Gege to see outsiders, let alone ask a doctor to come to the door, and if it goes on like this, he doesn't know if he can keep his own life. Therefore, Mama Liu didn't care a lot, and just thought about making Gege's body better first.
Zhiyun sighed, stretched out her hand, touched Jingrou's forehead, and saw that she didn't have a fever, so she said to Mama Liu: "You stay tonight to serve Gege, let the kitchen prepare some light meals, Gege now thinks that her stomach is very weak, don't let her eat meat." I'll ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at Gege tomorrow, and if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when it's better. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Mama Liu to say anything grateful, she held Qiyue's hand and went out.
Ouyang stood in the courtyard, and when he saw Zhiyun, he reached out to take his daughter-in-law, tidied up her somewhat messy clothes, and tied the cloak belt for her, before he whispered: "I used the suggestion technique just now?" You have a body, it's better not to move the magic, be careful that the child can't stand it. ”
Zhiyun was also helpless, and said with a wry smile: "I don't want to either, but Jingrou is very wary of me...... Tell me, let's just leave for a few months, how did a good big girl become like this, look at the performance of the Li family and the subordinates, this matter is about to involve selfishness, let's investigate one or two secretly first, and see what the situation is. ”。
