Chapter 60: Hunger Strike
Xiahou Yan couldn't have imagined that her eldest sister would hide this hand without leaking, and she really underestimated her.
This time, Xiahou Shuang can still go to the banquet smoothly, what should she do?
Xiahou Yan thought hard, couldn't think of a countermeasure for a long time, and her heart was horizontal, so she simply went on a hunger strike, maybe her mother would agree.
Thinking of doing it, Xiahou Yan only drank medicine and rested directly at night, and the meal was not touched.
When the Lin family came to visit Xiahou Yan on the morning of the second day, Hong Xiucai said: "The third lady hasn't eaten since last night, and it's been two meals. ”
Lin Shi panicked when he heard this, walked to Xiahou Yan's bed, lifted the quilt and checked it up and down, and quickly asked, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you?"
Xiahou Yan closed her eyes tightly and didn't say a word.
When Lin saw this scene, he was afraid that it was difficult to ask something from his mouth.
turned around and scolded Hongxiu: "How did you serve the third lady, you don't come to tell me if you don't eat or drink!" Say! What the hell is going on, Miss?"
Hongxiu said aggrievedly: "The slave doesn't know either." ”
"Something must have happened, is it because you young ladies are unhappy?" Lin was angry and pointed to a room of maids in Cuizhuxuan and scolded.
Several maids were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground, their heads bowed and they didn't dare to breathe.
"Don't say yes to any of them! Come on, open your mouth!" As soon as Lin's words fell, Mama Wang walked up to the maids, and one of them struck down with an ear scraper, and someone made a soft cry on the spot.
At this time, Hongxiu suddenly remembered the incident of the two little maids chewing the root of their tongues yesterday, covered her face and knelt in front of Lin, and said: "Miss Li heard the two little maids chewing the root of their tongues yesterday, I don't know if it has something to do with this matter. ”
"Say, what's the matter?" Lin scolded.
Hongxiu opened her mouth and said resignedly: "Yesterday, some maids said that the eldest lady actually knew how to embroider on both sides, and said that Master Zhang knew that his skills were shallow, so he had to resign to the old lady, and the third lady sat in front of the window for a long time without speaking. Hongxiu's voice grew quieter and quieter, and finally it was almost inaudible.
As soon as Lin heard this, she was furious, and she was afraid that Yan'er would know that this matter was making waves, but she didn't expect someone to stab this matter in front of her.
Angrily asked, "What about the two girls who chewed their tongues?"
Hongxiu said timidly: "It's been handed over to the housekeeper." ”
Lin snorted coldly: "It's really cheap for them." ”
Turning his head and walking to the bed again, he took Xiahou Yan's hand and said earnestly: "Yan'er, I know you are sad, we can't go to the banquet held by the queen mother this year, and it's not too late to go next year, you must not hurt yourself because of this matter." ”
Hearing this, Xiahou Yan suddenly opened her eyes and shouted: "I'm just going, if you don't agree, I won't eat." ”
Lin Shi was anxious when he heard this: "Why can't you make sense, Dr. Lin told you that your injury can't go to the ground, and if there are sequelae of flash loss, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Daluo Immortal to return." ”
Xiahou Yan covered her head with the quilt and shouted: "I don't listen, I don't listen, my injury has healed, this time I am going to go, if you don't let me go, I just won't eat, and I won't eat if I starve to death!"
Lin was anxious: "You really don't need to eat?"
Xiahou Yan's head in the quilt shook like a rattle, and she said categorically: "Don't eat!"
Lin Shi was angry for a while when he heard this, stood up and turned around and walked out of Cuizhu Xuan.
When Mama Wang saw this posture, she hurriedly chased after her and comforted: "Madam, don't be angry, the third lady is still young, and she may figure it out after persuading her." ”
Lin Shi paused and pointed in the direction of Cuizhuxuan and said, "Look at her, she looks a little bit like Miss Houfu, she is really spoiled by me, since she doesn't eat, it's better to be hungry." ”
After speaking, he left and went back to his own Yating Residence.
Mama Wang looked at the direction of Cuizhuxuan and made a difficulty, and after thinking for a while, she decided to persuade the third lady again.
At noon, Lin was really relieved to let Yuxia come to investigate, and Yuxia turned around and went back and said, "Madam, Miss still refuses to eat." ”
Lin was distressed and annoyed: "Don't eat it, just eat it when she's hungry." ”
Lin didn't sleep in the afternoon, he walked back and forth in the house, and when Mama Wang came back at night, she shook her head when she saw Lin: "The old slave persuaded for a long time, but he still shouted that he would rather starve to death if he didn't let him go, I think the third lady has to go this time, what do you say, madam?"
Hearing this, Lin sat down in a chair, hammered his chest and said, "What kind of sin have I created?" How did you give birth to such a child, this is killing me......"
When Mama Wang saw this, she took Lin's hand distressedly and said, "Madam, don't be like this, let the old slave persuade you again." ”
Lin wailed for a while, stood up, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "Since she wants to go, let her go." ”
Mama Wang looked at this posture and shook her head secretly, not saying anything.
Lin came to Xiahou Yan's room and said angrily: "Since you want to go, go ahead, my mother doesn't care about you anymore, in order to gamble on yourself, there is really a mistake, I can't see you crying." ”
When Xiahou Yan heard that the Lin family had promised to let her go, she sat up excitedly: "Hongxiu, hurry up and show me the clothes, or let people recustomize a few sets in the house." ”
After speaking, he shook Lin's arm and said, "Mother, my injury is no longer serious, I will take good medicine these days, and if I am careful then, it will not be a problem." ”
Seeing that she had been sad for many days, Lin Shi rarely showed a smile today, and he couldn't bear to say anything, so he only instructed: "Hurry up and have some food, and ask Dr. Lin to come and see the injury." ”
After Dr. Lin came, he checked it and said: "The third lady's injury is no longer serious, and it can be stopped after a period of medicine, but she still needs to recuperate well, don't get out of bed and move around more, and wait for the bones to grow completely before walking." ”
After sending Dr. Lin away, the Lin family sighed for a long time, and Xiahou Yan only comforted him so much: "Mother, didn't he also say that the injury is fine, and it should be fine if I pay more attention to not moving around in the palace at that time." ”
Lin had no choice but to nod helplessly.
A few days later, the queen's Hundred Flowers Banquet post arrived as scheduled, and after the old lady received the post, she called several young ladies in the house to Yanhe Hall.
