There are not too many furnishings in the girl's inner room, which is similar to the room in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. There were a few opened books on the table next to it, and unfinished embroidery silk was placed on the corner next to the bed. It seemed that the owner had kept it so full that the maid didn't have time to clean it up.
The exquisite and simple wooden bed frame is covered with thin gauze, which is used to block mosquitoes.
A woman was lying on the bed, and she could see the figure of the lake through the gauze curtain.
"Why aren't you there to take care of me?" Brother Rong frowned and looked at the maids in the room with confusion. He came in a hurry and didn't understand the situation in the room. He didn't know whether Lin Daiyu suddenly lost her temper or whether Lin Daiyu was ill and unwell.
Zijuan whispered back: "Uncle Xiao Rong, please go and have a look. We don't know what's wrong with the girl. We only know that she has been feeling unwell these past few days. She suddenly lost her temper today, and the doctor won't let her go. She can't serve her as well as she does." I'm satisfied. I really had no choice, so I asked Uncle Xiao Rong to come over."
Lin Daiyu is unwell, what's the use of asking me. Brother Rong raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Have you taken medicine? Have you eaten?"
"Where can I eat? When I woke up in the morning, I didn't get a drop of water. I only complained about the pain and didn't let the maids get close."
"You guys..." The maid who used to be smart in the past is now so clueless. Uncle Rong shook his head helplessly, glanced at Zijuan, and then slowly walked inside.
"Aunt Lin?"
Uncle Rong only responded with a light sigh.
Brother Rong didn't dare to be careless and hurried over. When they got closer, Zijuan suddenly had a spirit and lifted up the gauze curtain on the bed.
He finally saw Lin Daiyu.
"Brother Rong is here."
Lin Daiyu's slightly shrunken body was wearing thin clothes, with her hands covering her belly. There are two eyebrows that look like frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that look like happiness but not happiness. The state of mind gives rise to the worry of two dimples, and the disease of tenderness attacks the whole body. She has a delicate and sad face, as beautiful as a girl holding a heart.
The thin lips are thirsty as if seriously ill, and the head is tilted slowly like a weak willow. I saw her face was pale, with tears streaming down her face, and she was panting slightly.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
The weak and squeamish daughter shook her head slightly, her eyes were wide-eyed, and the crystals from the corners of her eyes went down from her temples and wet the pillow.
Next to her, Zijuan whispered in Uncle Rong's ear: "Girl, it's a big day these days. Maybe she caught a cold last night and won't be able to get sick today."
Uncle Rong was angry. How did these girls take care of Daiyu? They knew she was in poor health and let her catch the cold. How could they have the shame to say so. He frowned and glared at Zijuan, then asked Daiyu curiously.
"Has Auntie eaten anything?" Uncle Rong asked knowingly, looking for a topic and making calculations in his mind. He looked at Daiyu's thin body and remembered that she couldn't bear the cold at this time, so he glanced at the maids again. He slowly pulled the quilt over Daiyu and whispered, "Even though the weather is a bit hot, you can't leave the quilt. Auntie must be covered with it."
"Yes." Daiyu glanced at Zijuan in a different way and nodded slowly. I saw Brother Rong covering himself with a quilt and folding it to prevent wind from entering. The light hands and feet are really heart-warming.
Even though the quilt was covering her body, it felt like she had fallen into his warm embrace.
The pale face gradually turned rosy. It was because of her own thoughts that she blushed.
Brother Rong turned around and scolded Zijuan again, and felt embarrassed for a moment, thinking that he felt a little ashamed of Zijuan. Let her suffer this unnecessary injustice.
"You are such a big maid, but you don't know anything about this? You don't understand, why don't you call a few women to come?" Uncle Rong lectured there, and then ordered: "Go and boil some brown sugar water. When you are sick, It tastes bitter and I can't eat anything. The sweet taste is easy to eat, and the sugar can also replenish nutrients for the body."
Zijuan nodded repeatedly and hurriedly called the little maid to go. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the girl with a hidden smile, as if he didn't care about Uncle Xiao Rong's instructions.
As long as the girl is happy, that's all.
Snow Goose also lowered his head. In fact, she knew very well that these were all agreed by Zijuan and the girl together, and being cold was just an excuse. The girl was indeed unwell, and their maids took good care of her, so there was no way that such mistakes could have occurred.
All they want is to summon Uncle Xiao Rong so that he can talk to the girl more.
Seeing Uncle Xiao Rong looking so nervous about the girl, even the young maid Xue Yan, whom she had never been optimistic about, couldn't help but be happy for the girl. At this time, she couldn't talk much, so she only waited for Uncle Xiao Rong's instructions, which was designed to make Uncle Xiao Rong more considerate of the girl.
What did Uncle Rong think of at this moment and asked: "Have you burned the hand stove? Burn a hand stove for my aunt to hold."
Daiyu slowly shrank up and pulled Brother Rong's sleeve with one hand.
"It hurts so much... discomfort..."
Uncle Rong suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked Zijuan, "Is this your aunt's first time...?"
Daiyu's face turned redder after hearing this. When a man asks, no matter who he is, she cannot help but feel ashamed. Seeing Zijuan nodding truthfully, Daiyu tightly pulled Brother Rong's sleeves, feeling a strong pain in her stomach.
A soft cry.
Brother Rong was shocked.
"Don't worry, don't be nervous, relax. It's just a small thing, a normal woman will experience." Uncle Rong didn't bother to ask, sitting on the bedside and softly comforting Daiyu.
Normally, a woman's geranium day first appears between the ages of 11 and 16. If a girl matures early, her body will be strong slightly earlier. Most women are 13 or 14 years old, so it is reasonable for Daiyu to come now.
First, because Daiyu is weak and cannot keep up with her daily nutrition.
He comforted her in a soft voice: "Don't worry, aunt. Zijuan has experienced it. The ladies at home also know how to deal with it. Let Xueyan call a few ladies to come over and take care of her. It won't take half a day to relieve some of the pain."
Daiyu didn't want to see the old ladies, she only wanted Brother Rong to be here.
Zijuan knew what she was thinking and blamed herself: "I didn't think everything through. I only thought that the girl was thin-skinned and it was her first time here. I didn't dare to let the talkative mother-in-law come over, so I made the girl suffer."
Lin Daiyu really felt the real pain this time, the pain in her abdomen was as if she had been hit hard, and there was an unstoppable and embarrassing feeling of discomfort. Seeing Zijuan placing all the blame on herself, she opened her dry, bloodless lips.
"I don't care about her, it's because I don't want to see the mothers."
Brother Rong heard Daiyu's voice tremble and finally realized the problem. He hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What's wrong? Does it hurt again?"
Daiyu was not allowed to answer. I asked urgently if the hand stove is warm?
He also called Zijuan and Xueyan over and said, "You two will take over to rub my aunt's abdomen. Next to it, there will be brown sugar water for my aunt to warm her belly and quench her thirst. We will also prepare candied dates, raisins, and clean fruits. I will go to the kitchen to explain. Let the nanny in the kitchen make some barley and mutton soup to feed my aunt."
Seeing that Uncle Xiao Rong was about to leave, Zijuan looked at Lin Daiyu at a loss.
Daiyu could still see Zijuan's eyes. The pain made her confused, and the discomfort made her stop thinking. I only heard a few words about rubbing my belly before I held Brother Rong's hand and wouldn't let go.
Shrinking and whispering: "Brother Rong, please help me, they don't understand that either."
Wherever Uncle Rong is helpful, there is no place he can touch. Men and women are not close to each other, and if they touch her, Daiyu's reputation will be completely lost.
Seeing Daiyu's pain, he hesitated for a moment. He called Zijuan and said, "Come here, put your hands into the quilt. I will turn my back and teach you how to..."
"Brother Rong doesn't want to help me. After all, he's not as beautiful as some of them. It's not as good as them who can answer questions and do things. But for a sick and sick person like me, it's reasonable for me to be disliked."
Daiyu's expression changed easily, she waved away Brother Rong's sleeves and wrapped her belly in the quilt. He squeaked softly in his mouth, as if every call could relieve the pain.
This girl...
Brother Rong really can't do anything to her.
When Zijuan saw Uncle Xiao Rong hesitated, he hurriedly said: "Xueyan goes to guard outside and let the maids in the room prepare fruits, candied fruits, barley and mutton soup."
When a person is in pain, his temperament is unpredictable. Emotions are ever-changing, sometimes sad, sometimes dry.
Sensitive and fragile nerves make people in pain hostile to the world.
Faced with such a situation, the best choice is to follow her heart and her will.
Uncle Rong knew this very well, so he had no choice but to slowly squat by the bed. He said softly: "Aunt, don't be upset. I have never disliked my aunt. Who in the family wouldn't like my aunt because she is so beautiful? Although they are bright in color, they are vulgar. How can I be the same as them? I am like a fairy in the sky. It’s like being free from the secular world.”
"My Healing Game"
He spoke in a soft voice, but Lin Daiyu couldn't hear a word.
He just rolled up his sleeves and disliked one corner of the quilt to prevent himself from touching other places by mistake. He said softly: "Auntie, please move your hands away. I have rubbed my daughter-in-law a few times before, so she has some experience."
The rustling sound was the sound of the palms of both hands rubbing against each other.
Wait until your palms feel hot. Brother Rong didn't say much, and put his warm palm against the cold, delicate skin.
This girl is really thin.
"Auntie, please eat more at each meal from now on."
"Yeah." Daiyu blushed early, and her original temper was completely suppressed by shame. Feeling the warmth and heat seemed to relieve the pain a little bit.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or if it’s really effective.
She doesn't understand either.
I felt my body getting warmer and hotter, even my face and cheeks were hot. The hottest part is the ears, followed by the shoulders and back, and there is even a faint feeling of sweating.
shame.
As a lady who has studied etiquette since childhood, today was the most disrespectful time for her. This kind of behavior that broke the rules frightened her and made her shy.
At the same time, I feel it, watch it secretly, and feel a little sweet and a little warm in my heart.
It would be great if time stopped at this moment.
Handsome and versatile Brother Rong, gentle Brother Rong, caring Brother Rong. Be by your side at this moment.
Don't worry about other things, don't think about any shackles and difficulties.
Time didn't pass long, it seemed like a blink of an eye in Lin Daiyu's eyes, and she saw the snow geese guarding the outhouse and brought brown sugar water.
You sighed.
Little did she know that Brother Rong had been secretly looking at her. In fact, Daiyu is really good-looking and cute when she is not showing off her temper. A pair of bright and lively eyes, the more you look at them, the more beautiful they become.
Thinking that such a beautiful girl was thinking about him, Brother Rong couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. Especially now that I think about it, everything that happened here today was set up by Daiyu herself, just to get herself here.
It is said that good women are afraid of stalking men, but in fact men are also afraid of a beautiful woman being affectionate. Uncle Rong remembered what Mrs. Jia Mu said about Daiyu being sick and sad, and how could she do anything she wanted during these days.
Yes, the old lady also turned a blind eye for Daiyu.
Why have you been avoiding Lin Daiyu like this? From the beginning, I felt that Daiyu was unapproachable, and from the beginning I thought that Daiyu might harm the relationship between the inner and outer houses of Dongfu.
"aunt."
"Um?"
"Feeling better?"
"It's better...it's not that good either..." Daiyu said against her will, and she slowly lowered her head. People who are not good at showing off are most easily betrayed by their expressions.
The shy girl with a red face is the most attractive.
For the first time, Uncle Rong put down his guard and caution and looked at her seriously. I used to always feel that Daiyu had a bad temper and was hypocritical. Thinking about it now, it was just because of Daiyu's inner sensitivity caused by her weak body.
Emotionally sensitive people are sentimental and irritable.
However, even so, even if Daiyu was angry, she would mostly hide in her room and sulk.
What a pitiful person.
Brother Rong felt a little guilty. Daiyu used to be naive and optimistic, but she became more sensitive after getting to know him. Before returning to Yangzhou, Daiyu was cute; after returning to Yangzhou, Daiyu was sentimental; after returning from Yangzhou, Daiyu became sentimental.
Over the years, I have treated her like this. She only complained a little for a while, but after a while she was the same as before.
"Auntie, drink some warm brown sugar water."
Seeing the reluctance in Daiyu's smart eyes, Brother Rong said with emotion, "I'll help aunty sit up."
He gently pulled the quilt to cover Daiyu's body, and supported her to lean against the head of the bed. Daiyu is really thin and her body is as light as a willow branch. He pulled the quilt to cover her shoulders, brought hot brown sugar water in one hand, took a spoonful and blew on it.
"Auntie, drink quickly."
"..."
One of them was feeding, and the other was opening his mouth shyly.
The feeder looked at the sickly beautiful face and couldn't help but think to herself how much she had suffered because of herself over the years. She also thought about how much pain her disease had caused her.
There is still a worry in my heart about how long her... Daiyu's life will be.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. He felt even more pitiful about her, and also found her cute when she was sullen and peeking at him from time to time.
A girl who is pregnant with spring, a touching and lovely person.
"Auntie will stay in the east these days."
"Uh-huh?"
Brother Rong was startled when he saw Daiyu, and explained with a smile: "My aunt has returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and there is no one who can reassure her to take care of her. Living in the east, it is better for me to come here every day and see my aunt with my own eyes so that I can feel at ease." . If anything happens, the family will respond to each other."
Peace of mind? Come here every day?
Daiyu let out a soft sigh, feeling that everything happened so suddenly that her heart was about to burst out of her throat.
No matter what Brother Rong feeds him later, he will just open his mouth and eat it stupidly. After Brother Rong went out, Zijuan smiled and said, "Miss, do you want me to go to Miss Bao to say thank you?"
Only then did Daiyu react and said angrily: "She's not the only one who's smart."
