Chapter 9 Visiting the Sick
The old lady asked her to come over this time, naturally not really to see if this master's "cold disease" is okay, mainly through the caliber, she is infected with the wind cold, and there is nothing else! With Jin's weak and wooden temperament, even if she really notices something, what can she do, and dare to make trouble? I didn't dare to question the old lady if she had the courage to borrow it, and now it was good for everyone to act as if nothing had happened.
As soon as Mama Jiang left, Jin Nanxue lowered her face coldly, and the Lian family sent Mama Jiang to beat her, asking her to keep to herself and stop making trouble, after all, if the daughter-in-law seeks death spreads, the reputation of the Hou Mansion will be very unfavorable. In my memory, Lian's is not a loving elder, since she got married, the rules of the province every morning and dusk are thunderous, which day is not well or delayed due to something late, it is inevitable to have a stern reprimand, after all, it is natural for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law, and no one can find fault with this, so the original owner has suffered a lot in front of Lian's family, and this time she is so kind to let her rest for a few more days?
However, it is also a good thing for Jin Nanxue, there is no need to go to Rongxi Hall every day to fix the province, so there is no need to worry about revealing the stuffing in Lian's place.
didn't wait for Jin Nanxue to finish sighing, and a mother-in-law from Xifu also came to visit.
Xifu is the second room of the Hou Mansion, only a wall away from the Hou Mansion, and the people there like to run to the Hou Mansion on weekdays, but every time they come to the Hou Mansion, there will be nothing good.
When the woman entered the door, she smiled and took out a bag of things and put them on the table, and said:
"Our old lady heard that Mrs. Hou was very worried, so she made a special trip to ask the old slave to come over to ask Mrs. for peace, I don't know if Mrs. is in good health, what the house doctor said, and ask Mrs. to inform the old slave one by one, and the old slave can talk back to our old lady when she goes back."
This mother-in-law's words were full of concern, but judging by her attitude and words, she didn't have much respect, and asked Jin Nanxue what illness she had.
Jin Nanxue couldn't help but sigh secretly, it seems that this original body is really not very good, and even the subordinates in the next room don't take her seriously. However, it can also be seen that the old lady in the second room is not as good as the old lady, and she is all sent to her henchman, and this is too far from Mama Jiang.
Agarwood and Shang Lu are not stupid people, so they naturally talked to the mother-in-law according to what they just said to Mama Jiang, but they caught a cold and had a fever at night.
The mother-in-law saw that the three of the master and servant were all talking, and then looked at Jin Nanxue's complexion carefully, except for being a little pale and couldn't see anything wrong, so she smiled again: "I don't know if Mrs. has taken medicine?" Our old lady was afraid that Mrs. was missing something, so she specially asked the old slave to bring some tonics, for fear that the effect of the medicine would be rushed, so why don't Mrs. tell me what medicine the house doctor prescribed? ”
This question was too obvious, even Jin Nanxue, who usually doesn't pay much attention, heard the inquiring of the mother-in-law's song, and suddenly lost the heart to speak, lowered her eyes and picked up the tea cup next to the table and tasted the fragrance of tea.
The mother-in-law saw that Jin Nanxue no longer spoke but picked up the teacup, so she knew that what she had just said was annoying, so she smiled and added a few words, and when she saw that she couldn't find any results, she got up and left.
As soon as the people left, Shang Lu came over and opened the paper package sent by the other party, which only contained a few broken Ganoderma lucidum, looking at the color is inferior, and if you look closely, there are still some mildew spots on it, it should be that it has been in the warehouse for a long time and is not worth a few taels of silver, Shang Lu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Agarwood also looked at it speechlessly, the old lady of Xifu was really searching as always, looking at the enthusiasm of the mother-in-law just now, I didn't know that I thought she had sent some valuable medicinal materials.
Jin Nanxue said lazily: "It's the same as before, throw it away." ”
Shang Lu picked up the paper bag again and muttered and walked out: "It's just bullying our wife's good nature, and in the end, it is said that we got their good things." ”
Agarwood: "Madam, I think I heard that you were sick, and I was afraid that I suspected that you were pregnant, so I hurriedly ran over to find out the truth." ”
Jin Nanxue put down the teacup, if anyone doesn't want this Hou Mansion to have an heir, it must be the family in the Xifu, but they have been staring at this side and want to stuff their children over to inherit the title.
The late old marquis has several brothers, but only the second room master and the old marquis are brothers of the same mother, because they are also sisters-in-law, when the family was divided, the second room in addition to a large amount of property, but also got another courtyard adjacent to the Hou Mansion, it is also a five-entry mansion and the area of the Hou Mansion is not much different, in order to call it convenient, the second room is called the West Mansion, and the Hou Mansion is called the East Mansion.
The second master of Xifu has not sought progress for most of his life, and has only relied on the protection of Zuyin and his brother to live freely, and so far he has not had an official position and a half-job, just a white body, so the people of the two mansions mention that they only call the second master and the second old lady.
At the beginning, the old marquis cherished that his younger brother had no official position, and he was not very proficient in general affairs, and he took good care of this younger brother in terms of money when he split the family, so the family property that the second room got at the beginning was almost on par with the old marquis.
But the two old men have always been ungenerous, the silver money is very important, the old marquis when he was alive from time to time to come to the door to fight the autumn breeze, and then the old marquis is gone, but Lian is not a generous and tolerable sister-in-law, the two old men have no advantage to take advantage of the natural began to be dissatisfied, and the relationship between the two governments became increasingly tense.
However, Xifu will not be easily estranged from the Hou Mansion, always keeping an eye on the Hou Mansion's every move, and if there is something here, there will be a wind to come over to investigate, like this kind of thing that can't come to the table to visit the sick Xifu is doing smoothly, which is really speechless.
After sending away two groups of people in succession, it was finally quiet in front of him, Jin Nanxue stayed in the room and had nothing to do, and soon became bored, blinking and thinking for a moment, since there is no need to go to Rongxi Hall to ask for peace, then take advantage of this time to recuperate and recuperate, and by the way, familiarize yourself with the people and things around her.
After making up her mind, Jin Nanxue walked out of the house with the two girls.
Standing under the main hall corridor of the carved beams and paintings, I looked around, and the layout of the Xue Yuan was no worse than the inner courtyards of the major palaces in the capital that she had bought tickets to visit in her previous life, and there were five wide main rooms in the middle, with ear rooms on both sides, east and west wings, and the verandah on three sides was connected and surrounded, and the end of the right-hand verandah was a hanging flower door leading to the backyard.
The huge courtyard paved with bluestone in front is spacious enough, looking at the huge potted plants, delicate flower beds, and the rockery pond water in the distance is scattered, and you can see the remaining lotus leaves and dead branches in the pond in the distance.
After all, it is the main courtyard where the Hou Ye lives, even if Jiang Qi rarely stays here now, the layout and architecture of the entire courtyard are very good.
There is a stout ginkgo tree in the yard. It was already the early autumn season, under the washing of the continuous autumn rain, this ginkgo tree did not have the branches and leaves of summer, the breeze blew through the scattered scattered and scattered a few yellowed leaves, and soon there was a rough little girl wearing short clothes and trousers walked over to clean, and the whole yard looked unusually clean and comfortable.
There is also a small garden in the backyard, and the silver leaf chrysanthemum that Shang Lu said is planted in the flower garden under the back porch, but the few girls living in the backyard have always had bad rules, and they always like to be noisy every day, and the original owner is too lazy to care, so he rarely goes to the back to enjoy the flowers.
