Su Jin and Xiaodie chatted softly.
Su Jin wanted to find out all the temples in Wu'an Hou Mansion as soon as possible, so as not to offend anyone without knowing who they were. Xiaodie is happy to be lazy, she is not willing to do those dirty things.
The two talked for a long time, and when a grunting sound sounded, they suddenly realized that it was lunch time.
Su Jin and Xiaodie went to the small canteen to get food. On the way, Xiaodie said again, "The old lady is kind and allows each room to have a small kitchen. You can make whatever you want. Only guests in the guest yard and front yard need to go to the small canteen to get their meals. As for the house The servants here all go to the big dining hall to eat."
Su Jin nodded frequently and praised Xiaodie without any trace. She was a big help. With her here, they would have avoided many unnecessary mistakes.
Xiaodie was happy at first, but then she couldn't help but curl her lips.
I am just a guest in the guest house, what future can I have? She still tried her best to be transferred to another place as soon as possible.
She didn't dare to think about the opportunity to serve the ladies closely, and she couldn't touch the shopping and kitchen. There was no future in the sewing room, and there was no craftsmanship in the tea stove room. Xiaodie thought about it and figured out that the best way out for herself was to be a maid in the ladies' yard...
Panting, the two finally returned to Rose Garden. After this trip, Su Jin truly realized how remote Rose Garden was. This place is supposed to be a good place, right between the front yard and the backyard, but because there are no roads around, it is surrounded by either lakes or lush vegetation. It's not practical to step on the grass and trees, so you can only go around. As a result, we had to make a long detour before turning back. My legs and feet were trembling from exhaustion.
It was also along this journey that Su Jin got to know Xiaodie better. This girl doesn't have any bad intentions, but she is very ambitious, likes to be idle, has high ambitions but low intentions, and is eager for quick success and instant benefits. These are still minor problems that are innocuous. What is really taboo is that this girl has no control over her mouth. No matter what the matter is, as long as she knows it, as long as you ask, she will tell you.
Just say that if such a person serves the master, will the master have any privacy at all? Just say that this kind of person is scary, isn’t it?
Su Jin didn't show it on her face, but she made up her mind in her heart. She had to quickly think of a way to get Xiaodie to leave the guest house as soon as possible.
The two arrived at Qiangweiyuan, Sang Nianyue was still sleeping deeply, Su Jin went into the house for a while, and then came out quietly.
Su Xin said, "Why don't you ask the girl to get up and have something to eat?"
Su Jin said, "The pills have taken effect. The girl is sweating. She is sleeping deeply now. Let the girl sleep a little longer."
Xiaodie couldn't help but look at the closed main room, her eyes darting around, wondering what she was planning. She said abruptly, "Sister Sujin, I think we should ask my cousin to get up and eat something. Today there is pigeon soup, which is the most nourishing. My cousin is weak, so she should drink more nourishing soup."
Su Xin originally wanted to argue with Su Jin, but when she saw Xiao Die's ill-intentioned look, she immediately changed her stance and refuted Xiao Die and said, "Girl, how can you drink pigeon soup when you have a cold or a fever? Pigeon soup is greasy. , the girl is destined to vomit after drinking it."
Xiaodie was speechless and curled her lips again.
At this time, Qingyue came out of the room. When Xiaodie saw the young cousin, she couldn't help but look him up and down. The first impression is that she is too thin; the second impression is that the clothes are only made of cotton and are not as valuable as the clothes on her body. She is also a poor girl.
As for the cousin's delicate features and elegant demeanor, Xiaodie simply didn't see it. This cannot be used as food, nor can it be used as money. Xiaodie is a snobbery, she only sees power, gold and silver, and the rest is not in her eyes.
Qingyue ate in silence, walked around the yard, and looked at her sister's door in silence for a while, before going back to her room to study.
Su Jin and Xiaodie took turns going to the small canteen to have lunch, and then the guests arrived.
First, there was the Shuangli girl next to the old lady. Sujin naturally didn't recognize her, so she couldn't bear Xiaodie's familiarity. When she saw Shuangli, she was like a bee seeing a flower, her eyes gleaming and she ran forward.
This behavior made Shuangli frown frequently, and he couldn't help but recall in his mind, what was this maid's name, where did she work before, and which nanny was responsible for training her? After people have been taught, will they be released to serve the guests? Is this the face of the next customer? This is a slap in the face! On the other hand, I wonder, was it the second lady, the third lady, or the steward who took it upon himself to send such an unruly maid to my cousin? You have to talk to the old lady about this later, otherwise the whole house will be embarrassed.
Sujin learned Shuangli's identity and hurried over to see the gift. Shuangli explained his intention and sent a lot of fine blood bird's nests. "The old lady took pity on my cousin and suffered a lot, so she asked me to send you some blood bird's nests." Cousin, please patch up your body."
Su Jin burst into tears of gratitude and hesitated whether to wake the girl up. Shuangli had already seen the closed door, and his voice was a little lower, "Is my cousin still resting?"
Su Jin nodded, "I lay down as soon as I entered the house and didn't get up for lunch."
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Jin saw Shuang Li's expression of concern and sincerity, so she told the truth, "Girl has been having a high fever these past few days. I just saw that the fever is going down."
Shuangli said, "The old lady has invited Dr. Wu to come over and he will come over later to consult with my cousin. Dr. Wu has excellent medical skills and is the leading doctor in the capital. If my cousin is diagnosed and treated by him, he will definitely be able to cure her illness." .”
When Su Jin heard this, she was so surprised that she didn't know what to do. She was so sleepy that she encountered a pillow. She thanked her gratefully.
Shuangli added, "The girl is still young, and the current predicament is temporary. Once she recovers her health, she will have everything in the future. The old lady also said that the cousin should have a good life and live in the house. Our house..."
Shuangli wanted to say, "The house is spacious, you can stay there as long as you want," but when he saw the small and remote Rose Garden in front of him, Shuangli almost bit the tip of his tongue, but at least he swallowed what he was about to blurt out.
To be honest, the word "spacious" is not an ordinary hot word at this time.
The Marquis Wu'an Mansion is indeed spacious and there are many empty courtyards, but who would have thought that the third lady would actually arrange for her own cousin to live in Rose Garden.
Yes, Shuangli is sure that it was the third lady who did this. The second wife is very competitive, but she is generous and considerate in everything she does, and will never let anyone take advantage of her in these matters. Only the third lady is used to doing some superficial things, but in fact...it really gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Shuangli looked at the remote and lonely Rose Garden in front of him, and felt a sip of blood in his heart. This is really sending someone’s face to the door to be beaten. I’ve never seen someone who doesn’t give himself a face like this.
Shuangli exhaled and said in a gentler tone, "There are few people in our house, but the old lady likes to be lively. My cousin will take care of herself first, and then she will also go to the old lady for a walk. The old lady seems to have designated something to be happy about. "
While the two were talking, the door of one of the main rooms opened. Qingyue was called out and greeted Shuangli from a distance. Shuangli saw it and quickly turned aside.
No matter how dilapidated the Sang family was, after all, it was the guests who came to the door. She was a maid who waited on others, but she didn't have the dignity to accept others' courtesy.
Shuangli quickly saluted again, and Qingyue also avoided half of it.
This is considered to have met the master here. The young master had a handsome face and a bookish air all over his body. Although she is too thin, her eyebrows are bright and bright, which makes people feel good.
Shuangli breathed a sigh of relief, his young cousin was brought up by his cousin, and the two siblings depended on each other for life. The younger brother has a clean face and the elder sister has determined that he will not be a treacherous person, so the old lady can rest assured.
At this time, another person came from outside, but it was Zhu'er, the personal maid beside the second lady, and Brocade beside the third lady.
An old doctor with white hair and beard came with them, and beside him was a child with a bun, helping to hold the medicine box.
This is undoubtedly Doctor Wu.
The second lady gave a ginseng that was 30 or 40 years old, and the third lady sent some donkey-hide gelatin and Bazhen ointment as a gift. Perhaps because she thought that these things would be outcompeted by the second roommate, she asked Zhijin to get two pieces of silk and a set of jewelry that she had abandoned.
Shuangli saw all these things in his eyes, and there was no change in his eyebrows. As for what he was thinking in his heart, no one knew.
Seeing the doctor coming, Su Jin had no choice but to call Ning Yue. But he saw that the girl's cheeks were flushed again, her forehead was hot, and her breath was burning. Within one meal, the condition began to relapse again. But this time the fever was so severe that no matter how much Su Jin shouted, the girl could not make a sound. It was obvious that she had passed out from the fever.
Su Jin's eyes were red with anxiety. Doctor Wu and the others heard the sound outside and noticed something bad. They didn't care about anything else for a while and hurriedly entered the room to check for pulse.
Su Jin put Sang Nian Yue's wrist on the pulse diagnosis while weeping helplessly, "I came to see her before lunch, and the girl was still fine at that time."
Shuangli hurriedly said, "Don't be anxious yet, let Dr. Wu diagnose the pulse properly."
Uncontrollably, the elegant and gentle face that flashed across Su Jin's mind when she raised the curtain just now flashed through her mind.
The cousin's eyes were closed, and her beautiful brows were furrowed. Her fair face was flushed, and her black hair was messy and scattered on both sides of her cheeks. Compared with the red and charming cheeks, the color of the lips is too dull, and they are pale without a trace of blood. One look at it and you can tell that he is a person who has been seriously ill for a long time.
The black is as black as ink, the red is like the setting sun of weeping blood, and the white is as pale as paper. Each color is pure to the extreme, and when paired together, it is breathtakingly beautiful. Her deep sleep is so frightening that it is not difficult to imagine that if the cousin girl opens her eyes, she will easily make the clothes in the room lose their color.
Shuangli calmed down from the surprise in his heart, and looked at the girl on the bed again. He felt that she was really thin, with a pointed chin, and her exposed wrists were even thinner, less thick than a baby's wrist.
Shuangli frowned and couldn't help but think, if it is true as Brocade said, the cousin was raised to be a beautiful girl when she was in the boudoir, then she was tortured into a weak body in the Wang family for five years, and seemed to be broken at any time, then the Wang family It's really abominable and he deserves to be killed a thousand times.
The situation was urgent, so Doctor Wu quickly prescribed antipyretic prescriptions and sent someone down to grab some medicine and make some decoction. Then he asked the maid to rub several acupuncture points on Sang Ningyue's body through her clothes, and then used a wet handkerchief to apply cold compresses to her forehead. Until the temperature dropped slightly, Doctor Wu sat back down and carefully checked Sang Ningyue's pulse.
Doctor Wu checked the pulse for a long time this time, and his brows became more and more frowning, which made everyone present feel excited.
Several people had a hunch that their cousin's condition might not be good.
And Sang Nuanyue's physical condition is far from indescribable.
She suffered from spleen and stomach deficiency, qi deficiency and blood stasis, yin deficiency and night sweats, internal injuries to the seven emotions, mental depression, mild uterine cold, internal trauma headaches and other countless problems. Compared with these, high fever is the simplest and most treatable disease.
Doctor Wu looked at Shuangli, and then at Su Jin, who looked worried, and then said unhurriedly, "There are many symptoms, and most of them are caused by accumulation over time. It is unrealistic to think that they can be cured in a short time. Slowly. Take your time and recover. I'll prescribe two prescriptions for you to take for a month first, and then change the prescription depending on the situation."
Su Jin nodded hurriedly and thanked her with red eyes.
Su Xin went to grab the medicine and prepare the medicine, while Qing Yue prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstones and personally guarded the outside.
After Dr. Wu prescribed the prescription, he also gave instructions on usage and dosage, as well as matters needing attention during use. I originally wanted to say that sexual intercourse is prohibited while taking these two prescriptions, but then I suddenly remembered what I heard when I entered the mansion. This lady was a widow, and this situation obviously did not exist, so Doctor Wu stopped talking, which was embarrassing.
After finishing this, Doctor Wu took Tong'er and left. Su Jin caught up and stuffed a purse into Tong'er's hand. Tong'er touched his head, smiled, put the purse in his arms, and followed the master happily out the door.
Although Zhu Er and Zhi Jin did not follow the house, they listened to the whole scene from outside. Pearl felt regretful that she had not met her legendary cousin after all; Brocade thought that her cousin's condition was not optimistic, so she could drag his wife to see her cousin some time later. By then Cousin's face will be beautiful, and no matter how angry Madam is, she will only think that it is the result of these days of recuperation, and will not think that she is deliberately hiding something.
Shuangli told Sujin that Anmintang's medicinal materials were effective, reasonably priced, and easy to use. If you want to buy medicinal materials, you can go to Anmintang later.
Su Jin thanked her again, and Shuang Li saw Su Jin looking frequently into the house, knowing that she was worried about her cousin in the house, so he said goodbye.
As soon as she left, Pearl and Zhijin followed, and the yard became clean again.
