Chapter 54: Decoction
There were no women in the Hou Mansion in the past, and there were naturally no rules and family laws for women in the back house.
If he really came according to the rules of the Hou Mansion, then Gu Ruan Ruan would be punished today.
But the old housekeeper heard it clearly, and the Hou Ye said that he would be punished, which could not be easily exposed.
And Gu Ruan Ruan was disgraced in public like this today, coupled with Xiao Yanlin's warning, he didn't resist at all, and left the main hall with the old housekeeper.
A moment later, Gu Ruan Ruan was taken by the old housekeeper to the ancestral hall in the backyard of the Hou Mansion.
Gu Ruan Ruan looked at the ancestral hall in front of him, and his heart was temporarily relieved.
When the holy decree was given to marry, she had seen Xiao Yanlin punish Xiao Ruoyun, such a thick red sandalwood board, she would beat it, and now looking at it like this, her punishment should be the same as when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is nothing more than kneeling and copying books.
Gu Ruan Ruan was willing to give in, so he lowered his head and walked to the ancestral hall, which Cheng wanted to be stopped outside the door by the old housekeeper.
"Aunt Gu, you are not marrying the media, you can't go to the genealogy of the Hou Mansion when you get married, and you can't enter the ancestral tomb of the Hou Mansion after a hundred years, this ancestral hall ...... You can't go in. ”
Gu Ruan Ruan was ashamed and indignant, is this even a subordinate who has to change his way to humiliate her?
Seeing that Gu Ruanruan's expression was different, the old housekeeper didn't raise his eyebrows, and said in a flat tone: "The old slave brought Aunt Gu here because in the past, the Hou Mansion was clean and there was no way to deal with the aunt. ”
Gu Ruanruan's hands under his sleeves were tightly knit, the majestic ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion stood in front of him, and the old butler beside him looked indifferent, and her humiliation today was not over.
Gu Ruan Ruan only felt that her eyes were black for a while, if she had changed her usual day, she would inevitably have to argue with the old housekeeper, but at this moment, she actually gritted her teeth and swallowed, and even her mouth was filled with blood after extreme patience.
When the old housekeeper saw her like this, he had no expression on his face, but he looked down on this concubine in his heart.
Before Gu Baiyu came, the old housekeeper managed the people in the mansion, and he was very well-informed, Xiao Ruoyun didn't touch Gu Ruan Ruan last night, Gu Ruan Ruan changed the blood-stained bed sheet today, he knew it clearly.
How tough is he to be this different Aunt Gu, and he still plays this kind of trick, but that's it.
The two of them had their own ideas in their hearts, and the person who should really give the order to decide how to deal with Gu Ruan Ruan was being "bullied" by Xiao Yanlin at this moment.
"Light...... Lighter ......"
"So what?"
"Again, lighter......"
“...... Fragile. ”
"Hmm, it's here, it's so sour......"
Outside the house, Lingyu's face was red when she heard this, and she caught a glimpse of a somewhat faceless maid standing on the other side, but suddenly found a flash of disgust and disdain in the other party's eyes.
Lingyu was stunned for a moment, since she entered the Hou Mansion, everyone was very respectful to Gu Baiyu, and it was the first time she had seen this kind of malicious look.
Although the other party covered it up quickly, Lingyu was sure that the emotion in the other party's eyes just now was indeed contempt and disgust.
Without waiting for Lingyu to think about it, Xiao Yanlin's voice came from inside the house, "Go to the kitchen and bring medicine." ”
Lingyu was slightly surprised, thought for a moment, and asked, "Master Hou, do you want hot water?" ”
This time, Gu Baiyu's voice was changed, and it was a little hoarse: "Don't want hot water, Lingyu will come in first." ”
Lingyu walked in cautiously, her head was lowered and she didn't dare to look around, and Gu Baiyu's voice came from above her head: "Come and dress up for me." ”
Lingyu raised her head, and then she saw that Gu Baiyu was dressed neatly, and Xiao Yanlin's clothes on the side were not messy at all, only Gu Baiyu's hair was slightly messy.
Facing the surprise that flashed on Lingyu's face, Gu Baiyu quickly knew what this Nizi was thinking, and a thin red flashed on her face: "My back is a little sore, Hou Ye pressed me, what are you thinking?" ”
Oops, misunderstanding!
Lingyu hurriedly went over to help, and said in her heart that your name is so good, it is difficult not to make people think about it.
The movement of his hand was neat, helping Gu Baiyu to the side of the dresser, and stuffing a soft pillow behind the chair.
Gu Baiyu felt that her back was sore when she got up early this morning, and she had been sitting in the main hall for so long, and when she came back, she felt that her back was even more sore, so Xiao Yanlin helped her press it.
Seeing that Lingyu was busy combing Gu Baiyu's hair, Xiao Yanlin said outside the house: "Shuanghong, go to the kitchen to serve medicine." ”
Lingyu made a move, and it turned out that the maid's name was Shuanghong.
Gu Baiyu also heard this unfamiliar name, before this main courtyard was full of small maids, and when she heard the name of a maid, Gu Baiyu paid attention for a moment, but she didn't ask more.
After a while, Gu Baiyu combed her hair again, and the maid named Shuanghong also brought a bowl of black medicine.
Lingyu looked at the black medicinal juice, although she had doubts in her heart, it was inconvenient for her to ask, so she could only look at Gu Baiyu.
But seeing Gu Baiyu's indifferent face, he took the medicine bowl and drank it all, but after drinking it, his brows frowned slightly, probably bitter.
Without waiting for Lingyu to find something sweet, Xiao Yanlin didn't know where to conjure up a piece of candied fruit, and it didn't reach Gu Baiyu's mouth.
Gu Baiyu held the candied fruit in his mouth, looked up at him, the candied fruit was a little big, Gu Baiyu's mouth was bitter, he didn't chew it, he put it aside and shouted, his cheeks bulged up a small bag, like a little squirrel stuffed with nuts.
Xiao Yanlin looked interesting, and the ghost sent the god to take out another piece: "Or?" ”
Gu Baiyu blinked, his mouth was indistinct, and his hand was taken first: "I want it." ”
After speaking, he couldn't wait to hold the candied fruit in his hand.
"What's the matter, you are not allowed to eat sugar in the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Gu Baiyu had something in her mouth, and Lingyu explained: "Madame loved sweets when she was a child, and she often had a toothache, so the old lady had a lot of control. ”
Xiao Yanlin nodded, looked at the clean medicine bowl on the side, and asked, "You dare to drink it without asking me what kind of medicine this is?"
Gu Baiyu finished eating the candied fruit in his mouth at this time, and tasted the sweet taste in his mouth before saying, "Master Hou will never feed me poison." ”
Xiao Yanlin conjured up a piece of candied fruit from his hand and fed it to her mouth: "Call Husband." ”
He twisted his fingers slightly, and there seemed to be the touch of the soft lip flap that he had just touched, "On the first day of the wedding, aren't you afraid that I will feed you a bowl of avoidance soup?" ”
This is to say Lingyu's heart, what good medicine can be brought over on the second day of the wedding? Large families pay attention to it, unless they are seriously ill on the big day, they will drink medicine, for fear of breaking the joy after drinking, unless they don't want their wives to get pregnant, they will give a bowl of child-avoiding medicine.
Gu Baiyu was still unfazed, and ate the candied fruit in her hand, and the last one, she was reluctant to eat it too quickly, and when she held it in her mouth, her voice was cute and vague: "No, the old housekeeper said that the Hou Ye was in a hurry to disperse." ”
The subtext is that you are not young, and it is you who should be in a hurry.
Xiao Yanlin really couldn't hold back, regardless of Lingyu's presence, he reached out and stroked the top of her hair: "It's a tonic, your body is a little thinner, and you're still squeamish, drink the medicine well, child...... Don't be in a hurry, just follow the fate. ”
Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Hou Ye was not that kind of person.
Gu Baiyu was very comfortable to touch, squinting slightly, she liked Xiao Yanlin's calmness and thoughtfulness that was a few years older than her, and even this kind of elder-like touch felt very comfortable.
However, there was a sudden sound of porcelain pieces breaking in the house, Gu Baiyu opened his eyes, but saw Shuanghong kneeling and admitting his mistake: "Master Hou is angry, the slave knows his mistake and accidentally breaks the medicine bowl." ”
