Chapter II: Visiting the Sick
Imperial Physician Wei took the medical girl Aunt Xie to come every three days for Jintong to follow-up, acupuncture, and re-dispensing.
Aunt Xie taught a few maids how to massage them, and Jintong's marrying Mama Qi knew how to use medical skills, so she did everything possible to recuperate Jintong's body.
In this way, in just half a month, Lin Jiatong was actually able to get out of bed and walk around, and the wound on his head was also scarred. But she still put a layer of fine powder on her face every day, pretending to be pale and weak, and lying on the bed pretending to be dead and paralyzing everyone.
Her third aunt, Zuo Congyun, felt sorry that it was not easy for Jintong to be a bride at the beginning, so she came to visit in three or five days.
Zuo Congyun is a slightly wealthy middle-aged woman, with a dignified goose egg face, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes full of smiles, with two dimples and a loud voice, which makes Lin Jiatong feel sunny for no reason.
Zuo Congyun approached Lin Jiatong and carefully parted her hair and looked at it carefully: "It's a loss to be injured in the hair, and when it gets a scar, you can't see it if you don't look carefully." ”
Lin Jiatong put on a picture of loveless virtue: "What can you see? Left and right, no one is watching me! ”
Zuo Congyun hurriedly comforted: "Won't I come!" ”
"There are only three aunts! Alas! ”
"It's just me! Many people in Beijing have sent people to greet you, but my mother-in-law and I saw that you were seriously injured and it was not suitable to work hard, so we asked Wu'an to block it, and we will talk about it when you are well. ”
Lin Jiatong smiled weakly: "Mother Lao and the third aunt are bothered!" ”
"Sister, let's call me Sister Yun, it sounds younger." Zuo Congyun lightly pulled Jintong's hand: "Sister take care of her injuries, don't think too much." The martial arts steward is already investigating, if someone really dares to murder his sister, he will be beaten and killed when the time comes, but it is just a word from his sister. ”
Lin Jiatong lowered her eyes: "Sister Yun, it was my sister who was careless, what is there to check!" She knew that this was Shen Miaolian's hands and feet, as long as she didn't move her, she couldn't find out anything!
"In any case, it's important to take care of your body, before the seventh uncle leaves, he told the third master and me to take care of you more, if the seventh uncle comes back to see you like this, wouldn't it be distressing?"
"Sister Yun, I found an excuse to kill that Aunt Shen's staff, do you think the seventh master will be distressed when he comes back?" Lin Jiatong pretended to have a silly white sweet "angry" expression, suddenly changed his head, and grabbed Zuo Congyun's hand tightly and asked.
Zuo Congyun represents Mrs. Zhen's attitude, she first tried to be tempted, and then decided to start.
"My sister is the mother of the Hou Mansion, what is the big deal to kill a concubine with a cane? What is there to worry about the seventh master? Zuo Congyun replied with a smile.
"Sister Yun, Aunt Shen is the biological mother of Sister Yu, my sister will not fight or kill if she is not sensible, sister, is this laughing at me?"
"If she is a concubine who does not respect her mother, she wants to be beaten, killed, or sold, and she follows her sister's wishes, what is the good joke?"
"Then Sister Yun did me a favor?" Lin Jiatong looked playful.
Zuo Congyun was vigilant in her heart, this girl shouldn't want to borrow a knife to kill someone, right? She pulled out a smile and said, "Sister, let's hear it." ”
"Sister Yun, Sister Yu is nine years old, and my sister thinks that she is the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, and she is always raised by Aunt Shen's side. Why don't you help your sister and let Sister Yu go to study in the school of my sister's mother's house, Lord Zuo, can this busy sister help? ”
"Naturally, it's a gang!" Zuo Congyun agreed: "I see that Sister Fang is becoming more and more disagreeable, cowering, and has no bearing at all Miss Houfu!" My grandmother was sick in bed, and she didn't come to serve with medicine, and she didn't even greet her every day! ”
"Sister Fang is still young, I was afraid that I would give her the sickness, so I didn't let her come, and there will be Sister Lao in the family school." Lin Jiatong hurriedly pretended to be virtuous, there was no need to deal with a nine-year-old bear child.
Zuo Congyun talked to Jintong about some anecdotes about going to Beijing, and watched Jintong take medicine before he said goodbye and left.
She originally wanted to go to Yaxinxuan to explain to Zheng Yu, but unexpectedly, the little maid guarding the door actually told her that Zheng Yu went to Aunt Shen's Listening to the Rain Xiaozhu, Zuo Congyun's heart suddenly became angry, and a gust of wind blew straight into the Listening Rain Xiaozhu!
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zheng Yu and Shen Miaolian talking and laughing, intimate and harmonious.
"What a picture of Cheng Huan's knees, but Mrs. Ben has disturbed your mother and daughter!"
Shen Miaolian instantly changed her face, and knelt on the ground in panic: "The third lady is serious, and the concubine doesn't dare." She is just a concubine, and it stands to reason that Zheng Fang can only call her an "aunt", and Zheng Fang and Jintong are serious "mother and daughter".
"Third aunt, my mother was grounded, I was worried that she came to take a look." Zheng Yu stretched out his hand to pull Shen Miaolian up.
Zuo Congyun laughed angrily: "Sister Fang is so filial!" Mother? Your mother is sick in bed! Who are you again? Aunt Shen was grounded by the old lady herself, are you worried? It's also a mother! Can Aunt Shen afford a concubine? Sister Fang, don't you understand the rules and humility? ”
Shen Miaolian instantly pulled Zuo Congyun's skirt with rain: "Third lady, everything is the fault of the cheap concubine, I beg the third lady for the sake of the prince, don't blame the eldest lady!" ”
"Mama Shi, take the eldest lady back to prepare, and go to the Zuo Shilang's house in three days to learn the rules!" Then kicked Shen Miaolian away: "Aunt Shen is cautious!" Grounded! ”
Listening to what happened to Yu Xiaozhu, it only took a moment for Mama Cai to know. "Madam, I heard Aunt Shen say that she gave birth to a pair of children for the seventh master, we always thought that one died for some other reason, and the seventh master was guilty of loving her so much. But now there are signs that this ......"
"Mama Cai, do you also think that Zheng Yu was born to Shen Miaolian?" Zheng Yu is the son of Jian'an Hou and the son-in-law of Zuo Congyun. But the strange thing is that Shen Miaolian has always been in contact with Zheng Yu in private, although Zheng Yu mostly ignores it. However, listening to some gossip from the people in the Hou Mansion, it seems that Zheng Yu is indeed a little involved with Shen Miaolian, which is very intriguing.
It can only be explained in this way, otherwise why Aunt Shen couldn't help herself enough to come, and frequently asked people to bring letters to the prince to tell her grievances. It stands to reason that if she wants to cry and complain, she should also find the seventh master! Mama Cai was puzzled, the more this Hou Mansion investigated, the more complicated it became.
"Mama Cai, ignore the others, we only check the slaves in the house, take advantage of my serious injuries to steal and play tricks, embezzle public funds, and collude with Shen Miaolian in private. Ignore the rest for now! ”
——————
Zuo Congyun was extremely fast, and he explained the matter of the family school the next day, but Zheng Yuan's nurse Zi Shi Mama came to report that Zheng Zheng was infected with a cold and needed to recuperate for a few days, so he couldn't go to Zuo's family school.
Zuo Congyun was so angry that he wanted to rush to Xin Yaxuan to personally take Zheng Yu to the home school.
On the contrary, Lin Jiatong persuaded her: "Sister Yun, she is a child from a family, and she has always been raised by Aunt Shen's side, and now let her go to study, she is not happy and makes some awkward trouble." Take your time, don't worry, my sister assures you that next month, Sister Fang will definitely go to Zuo's school. ”
"Sister Ying followed me at the age of five to learn needlework, helping the family to take care of the palm, and at the age of eight, she went to the women's school in Hanmo Building to learn etiquette rules, and even the grandmother in the palace praised her in every way. Sister Fang is now nine years old, but she can't be on the stage like this, alas! ”
Zheng Ying is the eldest daughter of Zuo Congyunsheng, and now she is married, and she was also a famous lady in Beijing when she was in the boudoir. The more Zuo Congyun compared, the more he sighed, and couldn't help but complain about Zheng Qiyan: "Uncle Seventh is too, how can you let Sister Fang take an aunt!" Shen's family was born as a domestic slave, what kind of famous ladies can be raised? ”
"Sister Yun, don't be angry! Let's not talk about Sister Fang, sister and sister talk about what's new in Beijing recently? Lin Jiatong changed the subject.
Every time Zuo Congyun comes, she will say something new and interesting to make Jintong smile, in order to relieve her depression and boredom, or reveal some information outside the words, vaguely expressing the meaning of their mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhen. She looks rough and straight-tempered, as if she has no mouth to hide, but in fact, she is very measured, never exaggerated and empty words, and there must be something in her words.
Lin Jiatong wore the skin of Jintong, listened carefully, summarized by category, and discussed with Mama Cai and Mama Qi, and finally made the determination to use heavy codes in troubled times and kill more than a dozen Diao slaves with a rod!
In this evil feudal society, it is normal for the master to be in a bad mood and kill a subordinate! Not to mention the mistakes!
Lin Jiatong estimated that Shen Miaolian had been operating in the Hou Mansion for many years, and Zheng Qiyan favored her, and he couldn't hurt her for a while. You can recuperate with peace of mind, and experience the best quality life of an ancient lady by the way.
She wanted to eat an orange, so Ning Zi washed her hands, peeled the skin, and carefully picked off the orange one by one.
Then, Lin Jiatong, who stretched out his little paws and was about to eat, was skimmed back by Ning Zi's soft eyes.
"Madame, wait!" Then he took out a silver needle, carefully picked each orange petal, carefully picked out the orange core with a silver clip, and gently peeled off the orange coat to reveal the orange flesh inside.
In the end, Lin Jiatong used a silver fork to eat the most exquisite oranges in his life.
To eat a melon, Danzhu scoops the melon flesh into the shape of a small round ball with a special silver spoon and packs it on a colorful glass one-legged plate. Lin Jiatong sighed with a silver skewer to eat a grain, this is the life of a human being!? Longevity!
Eat pears, cut them into pieces, and soak them in honey water before they can let Jintong enter, because pears are cold and must be neutralized, or they are not afraid of being harmful to Jintong's body.
Even the grapes are carefully peeled apart, cut into two cloves with a silver knife, and the grape seeds are picked out with small tweezers before being served.
Absolutely! Lin Jiatong has not eaten a full-form fruit since he woke up!
What's more: even the utensils containing the fruit are also matched according to the color of the fruit, and there is no duplicate!
This day has passed, Lin Jiatong feels sorry for the maid and mother who she serves closely.
In this happy atmosphere of master and servant, the people of the entire Yanbo Haomiao Xuan are united in their hearts, investigating the entire Hou Mansion externally, and serving Jintong internally, Lin Jiatong doubts whether he can't take care of himself in life!
