"My cousin, I heard from Jinglan in the yard that your health has improved a bit, and the old lady is very happy. We have already set up lunch at Baishou Hall, and I hope my cousin can come over and have a meal with us."
As soon as Yanxia from Mrs. Xie's room entered Chunshu Courtyard, she saw Song Yueyi half-leaning on the armchair in the corridor and staring blankly at the sky. She was wrapped in quilts, like a frail and sick child. It's so pitiful.
This cousin girl was only taken to Xie's house in early February of the new year. When she first arrived, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her color was delicate.
After only half a year, people became exhausted, living with soup and medicine every day.
It is said that from north to south, the climate is not suitable and the soil and water are not suitable for it.
She had been ill for almost three months, and the old lady was worried about the fifth master's marriage, so she had to send her over to pick up someone to discuss it.
Song Yueyi turned her head when she heard the sound, and was about to speak when she suddenly covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and coughed. Her face was pale, and she clearly looked like she was still recovering from a serious illness.
"Yan Xia has also seen it. My girl has been on the bed for three months and has just been able to sit up. Not to mention whether she can walk to Baishou Hall, even if she goes, she is afraid of passing on the illness to the old lady. You go back first After seeing the old lady, I said that when my girl becomes stronger again, I will go over to say hello immediately." Mother Wen, the wet nurse, patted Song Yueyi's back gently while refusing helplessly.
Yan Xia wanted to say something else, but Song Yueyi started coughing again and almost couldn't breathe.
She didn't expect her to be so serious, her face darkened, she could only smile and left.
"Girl, why are you coughing so badly today? Could it be that you caught the wind and cold outside again? How about we go inside quickly." Qinlan brought a bowl of steaming soup on a tray, and she could smell it from a distance. A strong and unpleasant medicinal smell.
Song Yueyi frowned, "This medicine is very bitter when you smell it. Didn't I say I didn't want to drink it? Why did I bring it up again?"
Qinlan groaned, and Wen's mother took the tray, "Girl, a few days ago you said that the medicine prescribed by Dr. Hu in the house was not suitable for your symptoms and made your body more and more weak as you drank more. You have asked Liu Feng to stop the medicine there. These medicines were prescribed by Liu Feng from a doctor at Fu'an Tang who was a little further away. They said they would be just right to nourish the girl's body which has been suffering in the past few months. The girl must drink it so that her health will heal quickly."
Song Yueyi still shook her head in conflict, "A doctor who hasn't even checked the pulse must be prescribing medicine casually. The nanny should let Qinlan take it away."
Seeing that she refused to drink it, Mother Wen couldn't force her. She just handed it to Qinlan and told her to put the medicine on the stove to warm it first.
"Jinglan, clean up for me. The old lady will definitely come to invite you later. One or two excuses won't get her what she wants. I still have to go there."
Song Yueyi coughed slightly and stood up. Mother Wen pressed her down on the chair with distress, "The old lady also pities the girl very much. How could she let the girl go when she knew she was not recovered? Hurry up and rest in the house. It's very windy outside today, don't ask anyone to do it again before he can do it neatly."
Does the old lady pity her?
Song Yueyi sighed lightly. If she hadn't gone through her short life day and night in the illusion during the three months of serious illness, she would not have any doubts about the old lady's so-called pity until her death.
In the fantasy world, she really saw the old lady's ruthless face - for the benefit of the Xie family, and to satisfy Xie Jinling and his childhood sweetheart, she adopted their son who was born from an unmatched marriage outside into her name. Later, she used deception to win the favor of her father and brother, paving the way for his grandson to succeed, and often deceived and tortured her.
In the end, she died in a foreign land when she was only eighteen years old.
Song Yueyi coughed even more when she mentioned marriage, and couldn't help but think of the origin of her marriage with the Xie family.
During the previous dynasty, some of her family's ancestors not only won the first prize, but also some even held the position of Taifu. Later, due to false accusations by traitors and changes in power and position, the Song family was demoted to the remote southern wilderness of Jianghu in Suizhou.
After several generations and changes of dynasties, the Song family, a family of calligraphy and calligraphy, had lost all of its ancestral roots, and her grandfather's family had completely declined, leaving only some scholarly family aura.
As for the Xie family, when the Liang Dynasty was not yet established, Xie Yongguo, who was the former Suizhou city guard, was upright and upright, and because Mrs. Xie's sister was once related to the Song family, the Xie family took great care of her grandfather, father and uncles. The Song family got closer at that time.
Later, Xie Yongguo was framed by the treacherous officials of the previous dynasty and saw that Suizhou was about to be destroyed. He had to unite with the Zhou family army to repel the South Vietnam who coveted the rich land of the Central Plains at that time. Later, he helped the Zhou family seize this country and made many military exploits.
The late emperor established the dynasty and the Xie family was granted the title of marquis.
Mr. Xie did not dare to crown the legitimate son of the old lady as his heir apparent. The reason was simply because the person who really helped the emperor of the Zhou family at that time was the only fifteen-year-old concubine Xie Ruli, who is now the Marquis of Chengwu.
Xie Ruli is not only brave and good at fighting, but also very good at strategy.
When the war broke out, in order to raise food and grass, he shamelessly married the daughter of the Ruan family, the most famous and wealthy woman in Suizhou.
Later, he led troops to attack the city and conquer the pond, and continued forward until the war gradually subsided, the dynasty was built, and the capital was established. Xie Ruli, the son of the Xie family, became more famous than his father.
Erlang, the first son of the Xie family, died in battle.
Under the late emperor's repeated attention, despite Mrs. Xie's dissatisfaction, Mr. Xie did not dare to grant the crown prince to the only remaining legitimate son.
When Xie Ruli ascended the throne, Mrs. Xie refused to go to the capital on the grounds of being ill.
After the old Marquis passed away, she just lived in Jianghu and devoted herself to raising her direct children and grandchildren.
Ruan, the first wife who helped to inherit Marquis Wu's food supply, encountered bandits many years ago after giving birth to Xie Jingling, her second son Xie Renhuai, when she returned to Suizhou to visit relatives with her second son Xie Renhuai. They all thought that mother and son were in trouble...
Marquis Chengwu married the queen of Tongping Zhangshi on the pretext of taking care of Xie Jingling, and she became pregnant with a child in the same year.
Wang's pregnancy was extremely poor, so as a last resort, Xie Jingling, who was only three years old, was sent back to the Ruan family in Suizhou for foster care.
He was raised for eight years. When he was twelve years old, he was taken back to the Xie family by Mrs. Xie.
Now that the Song family has revived, her father Song Xianzong is already the Minister of Rites.
A few years ago, her father took the Song brothers and sisters back to Jianghu to pay homage to their ancestors, and he came specifically to pay homage to Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie was so happy with her that she actually decided to get married to Xie Jingling.
She was just twelve years old that year. Her father accepted the favor and could not refuse it, so he reluctantly agreed.
Later, after meeting Xie Jingling, a talented man with outstanding appearance and tall figure, I saw that he behaved very gracefully. After testing his civil and military skills, he also excelled, so he accepted the marriage with peace of mind.
The two families had originally planned to marry her when she was old enough to have hair extensions. They exchanged the Geng Tie and gave her a betrothal gift.
