Chapter 64: The Tonic Turmoil
As soon as the carriage and horse arrived at the mouth of the alley, they saw Yuan Jie and Yuan Yue looking at each other outside the door. Ling'er sighed: "Miss, if you want to rest, I'm afraid someone will not agree." ”
The car curtain is gently lifted in the wind, and the figure of a pair of sisters at the door is half hidden and half visible.
"Third sister, my grandmother asked me and my eldest sister to wait for you. Yuan Jie jumped into the carriage: "We've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Yuan Xi glanced out of the car, Yuan Jia's face was full of displeasure, and Yuan Xi didn't want to ask more, so he said: "Yuan Jie, the third sister is not feeling well today, let's talk about it tomorrow if there is anything." ”
"Don't, third sister, you don't know, someone came to the house today, and he was an errand in the yamen. Yuan Jie inadvertently smelled the smell of soothing incense in the sedan car, so she smiled and touched the exquisite hollow incense ball: "Third sister, what is this? It smells better than the Chinese medicine incense in the eldest sister's embroidery room!"
"This is the incense in the curtain that the emperor rewarded not long ago, if you like it, I will ask Ling'er to send you some when you go back. Yuan Xi rubbed his eyebrows, looking tired.
When Yuan Jie heard that it was rewarded by the emperor, she became more and more happy: "Then sister, thank you to the third sister first." ”
Yuan Jia was left out of the car, and he didn't want to talk to Yuan Xi, so he called Yuan Jie: "Fourth sister, don't forget what your grandmother told you to do." ”
Yuan Jie sighed, and said, "Third sister, I almost forgot, grandmother wants us to ......"
"What did the errand say?" Won-hee didn't want to hear her rambling again, so he simply got straight to the point.
Yuan Jie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly changed his words: "The errand is responsible for taking care of the second brother, he said that the second brother was beaten in prison, and those prisoners bullied him. Grandmother was very distressed, and wanted to ask the third sister to beg Lord Lan again, but it really didn't work, didn't the third sister return to Duan Wang Ye on an errand? ”
Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Jie in a daze, and she didn't know where she got a few tears, so she cried in makeup. This was originally told by the old lady to Yuan Jia, and Yuan Jia couldn't pull down his face to beg for help, so he dragged Yuan Jie to pass the word, and he stood aside with the style of the eldest lady.
"Eldest sister, have you been to see your sister-in-law?" asked Yuan Xi with a smile as he lifted the curtain.
"Sister-in-law?" Yuan Jia sneered: "I'm afraid the third sister is mistaken, right? The two elder brothers in the family have not yet married, when will there be another sister-in-law?"
Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's not wrong, the He family is pregnant with the second brother's child, I think it won't be long before she can marry into our family." ”
"Say whatever you like. Yuan Jia lifted the hem of her skirt and went up the steps: "Just don't forget your grandmother's instructions." Yuan Jia entered the door without looking back.
Yuan Jie saw that Yuan Xi's face was not very happy, and asked cautiously, "Third sister, are you okay?"
Yuan Xi sighed: "How can it be okay? Fourth sister, the spices you want will be sent to you later, the third sister has a heartache today, I have to go back to rest, I won't tell you more." ”
Yuan Xi said and invited Yuan Jie out of the car and asked the coachman to turn around and enter the house through the West Corner Gate. Yuan Jia didn't see anyone, and Yuan Xi didn't move, leaving Yuan Jie standing alone at the door of the mansion and sighing.
"Fourth girl, what are you doing here?"
As soon as Yuan Jie turned around, it was Qiaoxiu who was about to go out with Aunt Yu, and Yuan Jie sighed again and told Fang Cai about it. Aunt Yu has a gentle personality, and she doesn't like Cheng Zhen's kind of child who has been domineering since he was a child, and Cheng Zhen's mother You is ruthless, so she didn't think to ask about this matter from the beginning.
Aunt Yu saw that Yuan Jie was in a hurry, and she felt funny in her heart, so she brushed a little hot sweat from Yuan Jie's forehead with a handkerchief: "Yuan Jia is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"
Yuan Jie has always been good with Yuan Jia, and what makes Yuan Jia upset, how can Yuan Jie not follow the fire like a dog? Yuan Jie stroked her unkempt sideburns: "My eldest sister and I have always been good, but now that the second brother has an accident, I have no ability, and it is good to follow the errands to come up with ideas." ”
Aunt Yu and Qiaoxiu glanced at each other: "Now that the children are older, they all have the ability, we are not successful." I'm old, and I can't even keep up with my brainpower. ”
Qiaoxiu smiled: "Auntie, if you don't go to the market, you will disperse." ”
Aunt Yu nodded in response, and walked out with Qiaoxiu, who glanced at Yuan Jie and said with a low sneer: "It's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry." ”
Yuan Jie saw that Aunt Yu was about to leave, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Auntie, I am young and my knowledge is shallow, and I asked my aunt to help me with an idea, how can I help my second brother?"
Qiaoxiu's face was cold, to say that these four young ladies really have no eyesight. You Shi's poisoning of Cheng Yong is still like yesterday, and she doesn't want to think about it, how could Aunt Yu give You Shi an idea to save her son?
Yuan Jie didn't realize the unhappiness on Aunt Yu's face at all, and just stared at Aunt Yu for advice. Aunt Yu was chased by her too quickly, and she couldn't answer: "Auntie has no knowledge, only one sentence, money can make ghosts grind, Fourth Miss Bingxue is smart, think about it yourself." ”
Yuan Jie was not too stupid, she figured it out after two turns in her head, and said happily: "Auntie is saying to send silver to the officials and let them take care of the second brother? ”
Yuan Jie happily flattered Yuan Jia, Qiaoxiu looked at her back, and said coldly: "Fourth Miss's mind is really not like the kind in our house, the other young ladies are all very smart, but she can't understand the eyes." ”
Aunt Yu only smiled slightly and did not comment.
Qiaoxiu continued to mutter: "The You clan has done a lot of evil, and now that the third young lady has taken action to treat her, how dare she expect the third young lady to save people for her? ”
There were light catkins floating in the air, and Aunt Yu covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief: "In order to frame Cheng Yong, You even dared to use ecstasy, and he was still an elder." This time she deserves to die, and we don't have to do anything, just muddy the waters. ”
Qiaoxiu leaned on Aunt Yu's body, revealing a smile of understanding: "Auntie, I have already inquired, there are caravans from all over the world in today's gathering, bringing a lot of good medicinal materials. Whatever your aunt wants to buy, you can pick and choose. ”
Aunt Yu scratched Qiaoxiu's nose: "How do you know that I want to buy medicinal herbs?"
Qiaoxiu raised her chin and was a little proud: "I saw that my aunt started to list the medicine list yesterday, what skullcap atractylodes, what parasitic eucommia ulmoides, what codonopsis angelica, and red dates and ejiao." I secretly remember that the melons are ripe, just to come out with my aunt today! But auntie, for no reason, what are you doing with these tonics?"
The corners of Aunt Yu's lips twitched slightly: "Of course, I bought it for our future second young grandmother." You didn't see how ugly You Shi's face was when that singer entered the mansion. ”
Qiaoxiu shook the money bag on her waist, and felt a little reluctant in her heart: "If you want to say that the singer is really lucky, how can you say that she is pregnant when she is pregnant, she is a child in her life, but she has become the first young master of our Wei family." That's good, we'll have to pay out of our pockets to please her. ”
"It's not spending your money, what are you feeling sorry for?" Aunt Yu stretched out her hand and pinched the money bag on Qiaoxiu's waist, and sneered: "What Young Master Sun, I think You Shi can't give birth to this child! A person like You Shi dares to withhold even the money of a dead person, let alone He Qingqing is so helpless? He Shi is pregnant, he can't eat enough to wear warm, and he doesn't have any tonics, can that body withstand it?"
Qiaoxiu pursed her lips and forced a smile: "I understand, You Shi is disgusted with He Qingqing's identity as a singer and doesn't want the child to be born." Since this is the case, we have to work against her, and when the He family gives birth safely, it will be difficult for the second young master not to marry her!"
Aunt Yu not only bought black pheasant chickens at the market, but also bought some yellow lotus. plus the longevity pills and Ejiao cakes prepared by Dr. Zhang, a total of two large boxes, were sent to the He family together.
He Qingqing was arranged in a backlit side room, which was not sealed and cloudy, and it would smell a little musty when it rained. He Qingqing is a celebrity in front of the bustard in the flower building, and he has never suffered like this, and he is making grievances sitting in the room at this time. Seeing Aunt Yu coming in, she hurriedly wiped her tears and got up to greet her.
"Don't move, you're heavy now, be careful. Aunt Yu gave Qiaoxiu a look, and Qiaoxiu took out a big bowl of black pheasant chicken soup from the food box, which was just out of the pot, rolling with crystal oil flowers, and the fragrance was fragrant.
"It's cooked, drink it while it's hot. Aunt Yu said, took the bowl, chopsticks, and spoon and pushed it down in front of He Qingqing.
He Qingqing only took a few sips, and the tears came down, and he didn't know what to call it, so he could only thank him vigorously.
Aunt Yu had already caught a glimpse of the leftover dry buns and leftover porridge on the table, all of which were clear soup and waterless and not salty, and she felt a little sympathetic in her heart for a while. To say that this You clan is too ruthless, even his unborn grandson has to attack.
"Don't worry, I've brought you enough tonic for a month, and I'll bring it to you next month." Aunt Yu Wen Ran pushed the soup pot forward: "Drink it quickly." ”
He Qingqing knelt down with a puff: "This lady, I don't know what to call you, I look at you with a kind face, you are a good person." Please help me, please!"
Aunt Yu was crying by her, her heart softened, and she hurriedly picked her up: "You say, I can help you do something, as long as I can do it." ”
"Help me get out of here, I can't stay a day long. I don't want this child anymore, you can help me talk to them, let me go back to the flower building. He Qingqing cried a handful of snot and tears, he knew that this would be the end, he shouldn't have agreed to redeem himself in the first place, and the life of this Weifu was not as good as the three indiscriminate singers.
"What kind of stupid thing to say, this child is in your belly, the child will move this month, you can't bear to say don't want it?" Aunt Yu looked at He Qingqing kindly: "You live well, I will come to see you often, you have to promise me, don't move that kind of thought again." ”
"No, madam, I beg you, I just beg you to help me find a bowl of saffron. The women in the flower building do this when they have children. I can't stand this place of right and wrong. He Qingqing rolled up his sleeves, and his originally white arms were full of pinch marks and needle eyes. Aunt Yu stood up in fright, and He Qingqing cried: "Madam, if you don't save me, I'm afraid I won't live to the day the child is born." ”
