Chapter 27: The Heart Is Not Enough for a Snake to Swallow an Elephant
"Grandmother is sick?"
Ling Chu ignored the second lady's words, his eyes swept over the people sitting in the main hall, and he really didn't see the figure of the lady.
The second lady was ignored by her in public, and the anger in her heart rose slowly, "Your grandmother is too sick to get up, why are you still like a nobody, you don't care at all." ”
Seeing that Ling Chu's face was not good, Aunt Wen glanced at the angry second lady, turned her head and said to Ling Chu with a worried face, "Big girl, your grandmother is indeed sick, and... Your eldest brother's body is also a little bad. ”
Ling Chu frowned, and then turned his head to look at the people sitting in the hall, and indeed did not see her mother and eldest brother Ling Hao.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the second lady couldn't help but bring up the previous topic again, "Big girl, did the master in Xuanqing Guan say that your life, but it's cracked?" ”
Ling Chu glanced at her and asked lightly, "What does the second aunt want to say?" ”
The second lady was stared at by her dark gaze, and her heart was sudden, although she didn't dare to say that Mrs. Tai and Ling Hao were sick by her, but the expression on her face clearly meant this.
Not only did the second lady think so, but the others probably thought that Mrs. Tai and her eldest brother were sick by her, otherwise they would not have sat so far away from her.
Aunt Wen was a person with good eyes, and she knew that she was displeased when she saw Ling Chu's expression. However, after hesitating for a moment, she still spoke, "Not only Mrs. Tai and the eldest young master are sick, but also the sixth girl is sick..."
Ling Chu frowned, how could he be sick three times at once.
At this moment, Ling Chu saw her father Ling Zong hurriedly walking in from outside.
"First sister, your grandmother and eldest brother are sick, you have money on you, if so, can you ask a doctor to come back?"
Although Ling Chu didn't have any feelings for this father, he didn't refuse him when he saw that there was a trace of embarrassment and helplessness in his worried expression.
"Since my grandmother and eldest brother are sick, let's ask the doctor to come back and prescribe medicine."
It was her grandmother and eldest brother who fell ill, and if she had money but was unwilling to hire a doctor for them, it would be time to use filial piety to suppress her.
Nowadays, the saint attaches the most importance to filial piety, and Ling Chu wants to live here in peace and stability, but after all, he can't turn a blind eye to these relatives.
Seeing her agree, Ling Zong breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Wen on the side immediately said to her son, "Brother Wei, you have fast legs, go and ask your grandmother to come back." ”
Hearing his aunt's words, the third young master Ling Wei immediately nodded in response, turned around and hurried out of the house.
If it was usually in Shangshu Mansion, this kind of errand work naturally didn't need to be done by the third young master, but now there is not even a single subordinate in the mansion, and it is Mrs. Tai and the eldest young master who are sick, Ling Wei is quite sensible, and he does not shirk it.
Seeing that the concubines and concubines took the initiative to help without him opening their mouths, Ling Zong naturally felt extremely useful in his heart.
Ling Chu didn't bother to pay attention to the affection of her father and concubine, and turned around and went to the courtyard where Mrs. Tai lived.
When I entered Mrs. Tai's bedroom, I saw her leaning on the head of the bed sickly.
Hearing the movement, Mrs. Tai raised her eyes and looked over, and when she saw that it was Ling Chu, her lips pursed tightly, and then she said with a kind face, "Why did Sister Chu come over, grandmother's body is a little uncomfortable, beware of being sick to you."
Grandmother is just old, no big problem, you better go back quickly. ”
Although Mrs. Tai didn't say anything unpleasant, Ling Chu also knew that her life was not pleasant, so she didn't move forward.
Standing at the door far from the big bed, he said softly, "Grandmother wait a minute, the third brother has already gone to ask for a doctor." After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, prescribe some medicine to recuperate, and it should be fine. ”
Hearing that the doctor was invited, Mrs. Tai's face softened, "The first sister has grown up and knows that she is asking for a doctor for her grandmother, and her grandmother feels a lot more relaxed." ”
Although Mrs. Tai's attitude was gentle, Ling Chu couldn't get close to it, "Since Grandmother is not feeling well, let's lie down and rest first."
The eldest brother is also a little unwell, so I'll go see him first. ”
"Big brother's health is not good again? Then you go and see, if the doctor comes, take him to your eldest brother first. ”
Mrs. Tai's face was full of worry, she still attached great importance to Ling Hao, the eldest grandson.
Ling Chu didn't stay at Mrs. Tai's place for long, and after going out, he went directly to Ling Hao's courtyard.
Entering the dormitory, Dong was sitting on the edge of the bed, twisting a handkerchief and putting it on his son's forehead.
Hearing the movement, he turned his head to see that it was Ling Chu, and something flashed in his eyes.
It's just that Ling Chu's attention was on Ling Hao, and he didn't notice it.
"Sister Chu, why are you here?"
"I heard that my eldest brother is not feeling well, so I came over to take a look. Don't worry, the eldest brother has already asked the third brother to ask for a doctor. ”
Although Ling Hao knew that her life was not good, he was already mild-mannered, and his attitude towards this sister who was born out of one child was okay.
"Thank you eldest sister for hiring a doctor for me, it's just that I'm sick, and I'm sorry to be sick for you. Go back quickly, wait for the eldest brother to get better, and then talk to you well. Ling Hao's voice was a little lacking in breath, but the worried look on his face looked more sincere than the others.
Ling Chu didn't expect that her twin eldest brother had a fever, but I heard that his body has not been very good since he was a child.
went to the prison again, although the jailer didn't embarrass him in front of her, but he was reduced to a prisoner in the middle of the house, and now he was demoted to a commoner, and he must be uncomfortable in his heart, and it is inevitable that he will fall ill.
It didn't take long for Ling Wei to invite the doctor back, first to diagnose Mrs. Tai's pulse, and then to be brought over to Ling Hao for treatment.
Although Mrs. Tai is old, she usually maintains it well, but she was worried about an accident in the house, and she suffered some cold at night, so she fell ill.
As long as you prescribe some medicine to regulate, it is not a big problem.
However, Ling Hao has poor bones since he was a child, and this illness does have some damage to his body, so he has to prescribe some good medicine to recuperate, and he will have to bother to maintain it in the future.
As for the sixth girl, she was just slighted by the Zhao jailer before, and she couldn't think about it, so she fell ill again.
After the doctor prescribed the medicine, Ling Chu took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and handed it to her father, asked him to pay the consultation fee, and sent someone to go back to the medical hall with the doctor to get the medicine.
Seeing the silver ticket, the second lady's eyes flashed, "Big girl, it's not early now, isn't it time to prepare for breakfast?" ”
Others ate steamed buns and drank tea at the tea stall last night, but she didn't eat anything, and she was hungry all night.
When I woke up in the morning, I wanted to get something to eat, but when I got to the kitchen, I found it empty. Not to mention eating, not even a grain of rice.
I finally survived until now, and I haven't even drunk a sip of tea.
Ling Chu glanced around the people who were looking at her, and almost couldn't help but roll their eyes in the sky.
"Dad, I don't have a lot of money on me, after paying for the diagnosis and medicine, the remaining money is for people to buy some grain, oil, rice and noodles. In addition, a set of kitchen utensils will be purchased. ”
Seeing that Ling Chu didn't say any more, the second lady couldn't help but say, "Big girl, this bit of money is not enough. There's nothing in this house, and everything else has to be added......"
Ling Chu interrupted her with a smile, "Second aunt, what you say, are you letting me manage the middle feed, or are you in charge?" ”
