Yun Si is sick.
Her illness came with a sudden onset. During lunch, I felt dizzy and had no appetite. I only ate two bites of side dishes before asking the maids to leave.
In the afternoon, Yun Si had a fever. My body was burning hot, but I was still not sweating. My face was red and my lips were chapped.
Mrs. Zheng Guo immediately came to see Yun Si. She felt very distressed when she saw her daughter lying on the bed in pain. He refused to let the doctor in the palace come to see him, so he called the imperial doctor directly.
When the imperial doctor took her pulse, Yun Si was extremely nervous, fearing that the imperial doctor would notice something was wrong.
Yun Si could guess almost exactly where this disease came from. Either she got out of the tub when taking a bath in the early morning and looked at the small bronze mirror for too long and caught a cold.
Either because of her worries, she is worried that she will get pregnant, worried that she will lose her virginity... worried that she will become ill.
If the imperial doctor took her pulse and found that she was suffering from worry, how should she explain to her father and mother?
What Yun Si was worried about still happened. The imperial doctor touched his gray beard, shook his head and said, "Why are you so worried at such a young age?"
"Be relaxed when things happen. Being too worried is not a sign of longevity."
Mrs. Zheng Guo was shocked when she heard the imperial doctor's words, and quickly asked Yun Si: "What's on your mind?"
Yun Si cried out in her heart that it was too bad, she couldn't tell her mother what was on her mind. But her mother was extremely difficult to deal with. Yun Si's thoughts changed quickly and she came up with a half-truth and half-false statement: "I...I don't want to get married."
Mrs. Zheng Guo was startled: "You don't want to marry into the Xie family?"
"You don't like Nagasawa?"
Yun Si leaned on her mother: "No...me, I just don't want to get married! I want to stay with my father and mother all my life!"
Mrs. Zheng Guo breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand and tapped Yun Si's forehead: "Child talk! Which girl will not marry when she grows up?"
Yun Si took the opportunity to say: "Mom... I know I can't stay with you all the time. Can I stay with you for two more years?"
"One year... half a year is fine."
"I want to postpone the wedding and spend more time with you." Yun Si acted coquettishly in her mother's arms.
Mrs. Zheng Guo had been obedient to Yun Si since she was a child, and she would find a way to satisfy whatever Yun Si said.
But this time, she reached out and touched Yun Si's head and rejected her without hesitation: "No, the wedding date has been set, how can it be postponed?"
"Mom knows that you are worried. Don't be afraid. After you get married, you can come home often, and mom can also visit you."
"Mom will carefully select a few houses for you to dowry, so that you won't have a hard time after you get married..."
No matter how coquettish Yun Si was, it was useless this time. Her mother firmly disagreed with postponing her wedding, even if she just went to check on the Xie family.
This is true of mothers, not to mention the attitude of fathers.
Yun Si lay ill in bed recovering from her illness. She drank bitter and sour decoction three times a day, but her fever kept coming back.
After lying in bed like this for seven or eight days, Yun Si finally recovered from her illness. She lost a lot of weight because of this, and her originally well-fitting clothes became baggy. The round girl's face suddenly looked much more mature, and her pointed chin made her almond-shaped eyes look even bigger.
Yun Si fell ill, so the government lifted Yun Ying's confinement.
It was only after Yun Si recovered from her illness that I heard that while she was sleeping with fever in bed, Yun Ying and Aunt Qiao were copying scriptures and praying for her every day.
Yunying copied two volumes of scriptures a day, copying scriptures every time except eating and sleeping. Aunt Qiao was more sincere and copied while kneeling.
Yun Si also heard that Aunt Qiao had been saying every day that she was willing to take her own life to take the sick for Yun Si.
After Prime Minister Yun learned what Yunying and Aunt Qiao had done, he immediately lifted Yunying's restraint.
Even Mrs. Zheng Guo thought it was a good thing for them to copy scriptures for Yun Si after hearing about it.
Only Yun Si felt uncomfortable.
Lu Ya said what she was thinking: "Hypocritical!"
"If they really care about girls, why don't they come to see her even once?"
"The mother and daughter hid far away, for fear that the girl would get sick of her. The scriptures were copied only for the prime minister to see!"
Yun Si sighed softly: "Forget it. Sooner or later, Yun Ying will be released from confinement." It was impossible to lock Yun Ying up for a lifetime.
However, the mother and daughter used the sick Yun Si to achieve their own plans, which really made Yun Si feel disgusted.
After Yunying was released from confinement, another major event happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion. My grandmother, who had been worshiping Buddha in the temple for half a year, returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yun Si went to pay her respects to her grandmother, who was very cold towards her and was also lukewarm towards Yun Zhang, the only legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Instead, he called Yuncheng, the concubine born by Aunt Qiao, to his side for a warm and affectionate meal.
The things grandma gave to Yunzhang and Yun Cheng, and the things to Yun Si and Yun Ying were almost equal.
Yun Si was worried that her mother would be angry, so she went to her mother's yard to comfort her. Mother and grandmother had a long-standing feud, and even grandmother didn't like Yun Si and Yun Zhang. On the contrary, Aunt Qiao's Yunying and Yuncheng were her favorites.
As for the conflict between grandmother and mother, it is simple to say that it is just because Mrs. Zheng Guo was of too high a family background and was proud by nature, so she did not like her grandmother.
Aunt Qiao and her bastard sons and daughters were the best at being humble and courteous to please the grandmother, and the grandmother's heart was full of favoritism.
Mrs. Zheng Guo was obviously angry because of her grandmother's actions. When she saw Yun Si coming to her yard, she immediately pretended to be calm and calm.
"Mom, don't hold it back, it's not good for your health." Yun Si said.
Mrs. Zheng Guo knew that she couldn't hide it from Yun Si, so she sighed softly.
Mrs. Zheng Guo thought that Yun Si did not want to get married and had always said that she would stay at home for another two years. She was also worried that her daughter would think about her marriage after seeing the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She quickly said: "You won't have such troubles after you get married. Mother-in-law is My dear aunt, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
Yun Si refuted her mother in her heart.
As a mother-in-law, her biological aunt...wouldn't it be difficult for her?
Didn't she already displease her aunt by disguising herself as a man and going hunting in autumn?
If she was no longer a virgin, if she hadn't fallen pregnant on her wedding night... her aunt wouldn't forgive her, right?
.
Yun Si's life has not been very comfortable recently. Since her grandmother came back, Aunt Qiao, Yun Ying and Yuncheng have suddenly become high-profile in the house.
Originally, this was none of Yun Si's business, but her grandmother insisted that Yun Si take Yunying with her whenever she went out to socialize.
"Your marriage has been decided, but your sister's hasn't yet. Take your sister out to socialize more, so that the ladies from all over the country can see how good your sister is."
Yun Si had no choice but to comply with her grandmother's instructions.
Yun Si didn't go out to socialize much. In the past, this was a rare time to relax. When she and Luo Xuanji and Fu Xue gathered together to chat with handkerchiefs, Yun Si could be in a happy mood for a long time.
But now, Luo Xuanji is getting married. As a newlywed, she cannot come out easily.
Fu Xue can still be seen, but as long as Yun Si goes out, she has to take Yun Ying's little tail with her.
However, Yunying is not an honest person. Whenever there are many people, she has to find a way to express herself.
It was as if Mrs. Zheng Guo couldn't find a good marriage proposal for her at all, and all her marriages had to be won by herself by saying a few witticisms in front of the ladies.
Yun Si also had to keep an eye on her all the time and push her down whenever he saw something was wrong, so as not to embarrass the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As a result, going out to socialize has become extremely boring.
It wasn't until the twelfth lunar month that Yun Si finally had the social interaction she was looking forward to - Luo Xuanji's mother-in-law held a birthday party. Mrs. Zheng Guo received the message and took Yun Si and Yun Ying with her.
Yun Si can finally see Luo Xuanji!
Yun Si has not seen Luo Xuanji since she got married!
She went to the banquet excitedly, expecting to see Luo Xuanji right away at the banquet.
Unexpectedly, I heard that Luo Xuanji was working as a director in the back and did not come to the front to accompany the guests. Yun Si asked the maid at the banquet to take her to Luo Xuanji... The maid looked hesitant and went to ask for instructions before returning to lead Yun Si.
Yun Si followed the maid to the courtyard of the back house, and finally saw Luo Xuanji, whom she had not seen for a long time.
She was shocked when she saw Luo Xuanji: "You, why have you lost so much weight?"
