Chapter 69: See Clearly
I don't know how long it took, but the eldest lady finally spoke, "Swallow these words into your stomach, and don't spit out another word, remember?" She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth.
Hui Lan was frightened by her rare seriousness, and nodded back to her senses. She was not a revolutionary pioneer, she didn't want to open up the world, and she didn't want to die. If it weren't for today's mood, she wouldn't even be able to say this in her life.
The eldest lady had a calm face and stared at Huilan seriously for a while, then she sat up straight, took a few deep breaths and slowly regained her calm.
Huilan was taken aback, and cold sweat broke out. Judging from the gaffe that the eldest lady has never had, her remarks are indeed very dangerous, and Hui Lan is very scared in her heart.
"You caught a cold last night, and you ate something difficult to control in the morning, so that's why you're not feeling well. Today, there is a happy event in the family, and everyone is very happy, so don't report it to the elders and let the elders worry. Tomorrow, I will send someone to the school to ask for leave for you, don't go for the time being. Every day, you will ask the doctor to ask for your pulse until you recover. The people in your courtyard have been waiting for a long time, and I guess you don't want to change them. They're probably scared now, and you have to reassure them yourself, so don't let them go wrong out of worry. The eldest lady got out of bed, put on her shoes and stood by the bed, looking at Huilan and said.
Hui Lan was still a little confused at first, and then her face turned white and her lips blue. barely stabilized and didn't tremble, nodded again and again, and said boldly, "Big sister, don't worry, I know what to do." The subordinates in the courtyard have been serving for a long time, and they have not adjusted the scourge of three nests and four wrongs. Today is because I suddenly fell ill and cared about the chaos that I made a mistake in my busyness, and I will teach and punish. The elders have been working hard lately, so don't alarm them with these little things. ”
The eldest lady glanced out the window before turning her head, her face a little heavy, "This time I answered you, but you have to keep in mind that their life and death honor and disgrace are all tied to you." What do you want to say and do in the future, think about them first, think about your family. ”
Seeing that Huilan's small body trembled a little, the hand hidden in the sleeve of the eldest lady couldn't help but move. But in the end, she left only a word for her to recuperate and went out.
Hearing the knock on the door, Huilan shrank into a ball, and tears came out at once.
Someone entered the house, and Hui Lan felt someone hugging her with concern, and kept calling her in her ear. I don't know how long it took, but Hui Lan finally calmed down. She only felt that she had no strength at all, and was slowly helped to lie on the bed.
Half-asleep, there is a warm liquid fed into the mouth. Huilan was surprisingly well-behaved, feeding what to swallow, which made the people who served it breathe a sigh of relief. She was just asleep and didn't have a fever, so the maids weren't panicked, and only stayed in front of the bed in batches.
It was late at night when Huilan came back to consciousness again, and she opened her eyes in a daze, only to see her bed in the dim candlelight. There was a shallow breath in her ears, and as soon as Huilan turned her head, she saw Qingguo lying on the side of the bed and falling asleep.
I don't think I'm worried about her, otherwise I would sleep on the Luohan bed outside the screen even if I was on duty at night. Hui Lan was sad, her ignorance almost killed the maids and women in the courtyard, including Wang's mother.
Huilan is also an old bird who has read thousands of sails, and I don't know how much I have seen of conspiracy. Theoretical knowledge can be called grandmaster-level, but practical knowledge must be idiotic-level. It's not that she is arrogant, but today's incident gave her a slap in the face, making her completely see the rules of this society and her ignorance and innocence.
She has no interest in learning from some of the chosen heroines to fascinate all living beings and become famous all over the world. She prefers to entertain herself and be a happy ordinary person, but this does not mean that she does not have the sense of superiority and arrogance of all the traversers. It was these that gave her courage and security, diluted her panic and helplessness.
But it is precisely these feelings of superiority and arrogance that make her instinctively lack the correct understanding of the world and the reverence for imperial power, which is precisely the most fatal. Living in the stormy waves, if you don't overcome obstacles and be a trendsetter to lead the coquettish, then you can only turn away the edges and corners and sink to the bottom to make a pebble, only in this way will you not be shot to death on the beach.
Huilan is very self-aware, she doesn't have the ability to be a trendsetter. Therefore, she can only give up those untimely superiority feelings to adapt to this place where she wants to live. She didn't want to find trouble, she didn't want to involve her relatives and friends, and she didn't want to die.
Taking a deep breath, the fog in front of her gradually dissipated, and Hui Lan finally saw the way clearly. That's right, she, Li Huilan, is just a mortal who is greedy for life and afraid of death. She loves to eat and play, is squeamish and loves to enjoy, and is more greedy for life and afraid of death
Hui Lan laughed suddenly, and she couldn't stop laughing silently. The depression in her chest that had been stuffed for a day seemed to be discharged with her laughter, making her breathing easier. She has no interest in being a master, she just wants to live her own little life and let everyone around her be safe and happy. As of now, she is very satisfied with her life, and if anyone wants to destroy her current life, she will definitely bite him to death.
Huilan has completely cleared the customs at this moment, and her body and mind are comfortable. Thinking of her previous irrational behavior and those stupid words, she felt embarrassed herself. She has lived too comfortably in the past few years, losing her adult sanity and sense of crisis.
Although the Gu family is cooking oil, it is not impregnable. She enjoyed the protection and pampering of the Gu family, but she didn't pay at all. This is not right, people live, how much can they endure and how much blessing they have. For now, she Li Huilan is not worthy of these blessings. In order not to be blessed in the future, she will have to be long-hearted from now on.
Thinking of the eldest lady, Hui Lan was full of shame. Today is her birthday, the day of her coming of age. But there was such an unpleasant experience that I can't express it. Even hiding in the room to silently digest the unpleasant possibility was interrupted by her, thinking about Huilan felt bad. If she were to change roles and change her Li Huilan's experience of the eldest lady today, she would probably pack up this matter and throw it into the wild to feed the wolves.
Looking at it this way, the eldest lady is indeed a good girl who is tolerant and generous. Not only did she not pack Huilan and throw her out, but she also came to see her in person, found her a doctor, listened to her rebellious remarks and was frightened, and helped her cover her up and remind her to be cautious...... Looking at it this way, Hui Lan really felt that she should really be cut with a thousand knives, and she was too unprofessional.
Huilan was immersed in her thoughts, suddenly laughing, suddenly sighing, this movement finally woke up Qingguo, who had not been asleep.
Qingguo sat upright violently, looking at Huilan, who was open with her eyes open and her face calm and kind, she was stunned, and then she was overjoyed, "Girl, what do you think?" As he spoke, he touched her forehead, and then touched her hand, feeling that the temperature was normal, and then he was relieved.
Without waiting for Hui Lan to speak, she hurriedly straightened up and picked up the teapot on the high table next to the bed to pour water for Hui Lan to moisten her throat.
Huilan also wanted to open her mouth to comfort her, but her throat was dry and hoarse for a while. Only then did I quietly wait for her to pour water and feed her to drink, and then I felt that my throat was clear.
"It's okay, don't worry. Where are the others? Hui Lan's voice was still a little hoarse.
Qingguo almost burst into tears when she heard this, and bit her lip fiercely before she could barely hold back. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, girl, Narcissus is asleep on the Luohan bed, and we have made an appointment to replace the girl." Mother Wang seemed to be frightened today, guarding the girl and not leaving her, until Hai Shi was persuaded by Mother Lin to go back to the room, I asked Liu Ya to accompany her to settle down. The other maids and daughters-in-law were in charge of Mother Lin, let them do their jobs, and they all rushed to sleep when the time came. Mother Lin saw that the girl had no fever when she was close to her son, so she went back to the room, and asked me to call her at any time if there was a change. ”
Huilan felt very uncomfortable when she heard it, and she was probably scared by her. Such a group of people who take her will as their will, so wholeheartedly for her, were almost killed by her. She's damned, Huilan blames herself.
Qingguo didn't let go of her hand, Huilan turned sideways slightly, and gently pressed Qingguo's hand with her other hand, "I made you worry, I'm sorry, don't worry, never again." I'm fine, you go back and rest, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Qingguo, as the first maid in Huilan Courtyard, doesn't know how she came over today. She ran before and after, busy and outside, and didn't dare to let herself stop. Not only could she not cry, but she also had to comfort others and stabilize everyone. If it weren't for Mother Lin's presence, Qingguo didn't know if she could hold on. At this moment, it was even more late at night, and everything was silent, and after listening to Huilan's short words, Qingguo finally cried.
