Forbidden Autumn, Summer, Winter and Spring Rebirth

Chapter 4 4. Time is also destiny.
  It is not difficult to find a maid who is knowledgeable in medical science. What is difficult is to be loyal. I will mention this matter to my sister-in-law tomorrow and see if she can do anything about it.

Xia Dongchun got up and walked towards the bed. Now that she had decided to enter the palace, her first priority was to recuperate her energy. Her physical condition was not bad. When she was young, she watched her brother practice martial arts. She felt it was new, so she also practiced for a while. I also have some proficiency in horseback riding and archery. Not to mention how diligent I am, at least it has the effect of strengthening my body. Now that my sister-in-law has invited Madam Zhang, she just takes this opportunity to recuperate. If we talk about what is important in the palace, having brains and strategies are certainly equally important, but without a good body, no matter how much honor and favor you have, it will be just a cloud.

Sitting on the bed, Xia Dongchun saw Ging Guo, who was still busy with his work. Ging Guo was born in the family and grew up with him. The whole family has settled down in the Xia Mansion, and all the bonds are here, so loyalty is certain. In her previous life, the only person who accompanied Xia Dongchun to the end was Ging Guo. She took good care of Xia Dongchun in such a harsh environment. However, she lingered on the sick bed and her injuries kept getting worse. It was freezing cold, but she still didn't feel well. Can hold on.

"Ginkgo." Xia Dongchun sighed with emotion and called Ginkgo.

When Bai Guo heard Xia Dongchun calling her, she put down her work and came to Xia Dongchun's bed.

"What's wrong, miss? Are you hungry?"

"Nothing, I want to ask you, if I want to participate in the draft, will you be willing to enter the palace with me?"

"Slave, of course I am willing. I have followed the young lady since I was a child. I will go wherever the young lady goes."

"What if I enter the palace and may have to suffer a lot of grievances and risk my life or death?"

"That slave is also willing."

Ging Guo was a prudent person and was used to being served, so Xia Dongchun was naturally taken away.

The next day, Xia Dongchun met Mrs. Zhang in the main courtyard. She had known she was a woman over fifty years old, but she looked as if she was less than forty years old. She was radiant and energetic.

Madam Zhang is diagnosing Ye Jia's pulse. Ye Jia is already in her early thirties and has given birth to four more children. Naturally, her body is in need. Madam Zhang explained some appropriate maintenance, and the prescription she will prescribe will be given directly to Ye Jia's body. The serving maid.

After Mrs. Zhang retired, Xia Dongchun mentioned to Ye Jia that she wanted a maid who was knowledgeable in medicine and loyal. Ye Jiashi said frankly that it was not difficult. First, you should screen the maids in the house. If it doesn't work, you can choose from Ye Jiashi's house. If it doesn't work, just go to Renyazi and buy one.

Xia Dongchun knew that these matters were not difficult for Ye Jia, who had been a housekeeper all year round, and she was not in a hurry, so she entrusted them to Ye Jia.

Ye Jiashi mentioned a few things by the way that she would be shopping for Xia Dongchun these days. If she had any requests, just ask her. If you don’t have any special requirements, just buy things that are fashionable, luxurious and rare in the capital at the moment, and you won’t go wrong.

Xia Dongchun did not comment, stood up and bowed to Ye Jia, thanking her for her dedication. This action startled Ye Jia. She originally felt that Xia Dongchun was different from before, but now that she thought about it, she was indeed a lot calmer and more polite. Ye Jia only thought that it was because of the nightmare the day before, and did not think deeply about it. After all, she is also happy to see Xia Dongchun's progress.

Ye Jia also told Xia Dongchun that Xia Wei had been looking for an elderly aunt in the capital. She was released from the late emperor's new funeral palace the year before last. She stayed in the palace for more than twenty years and was taken care of by his nephews after leaving the palace. . Xia Wei planned to invite this aunt to stay at his house in two days. He only said that he would accompany her and tell her about the affairs in the palace. Xia Dongchun understood that this must be Ye Jia's intention, and secretly sighed that she was thoughtful.

In her previous life, Ye Jia had arranged things like this, busy buying things for Xia Dongchun. How did she do it at that time? It seems that she didn't appreciate it at that time. She only felt that she had looks and a family, and she would definitely be selected without these, so it was a waste of Ye Jia's kindness.

Because of my own stupidity, I took many wrong paths. Xia Dongchun sighed secretly.

When she returned to her yard, Madam Zhang was already waiting. When she saw Xia Dongchun coming back, she stood up and saluted.

"Ms. Zhang is very polite. I have heard my sister-in-law mention that there is a female medical expert in my house. Now that I am loved by my sister-in-law, I finally have the chance to meet her. I have to worry about Miz. Zhang these days."

"I don't dare to take it seriously. I will do my best to nurse the young lady, but I'm afraid there are many restrictions on the young lady during this period. I hope the young lady will follow the doctor's advice."

"That's natural. Madam Zhang, don't worry too much. If you have any requests, just ask."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and asked Madam Zhang to diagnose her pulse.

Madam Zhang examined her carefully and then spoke thoughtfully, "Miss seems to have been frightened recently, and she feels restless. She has some liver qi stagnation and worries. The deficiency of qi and blood is more obvious, and she really needs to be taken care of. In addition, there are symptoms of deficiency and cold. Now that it is summer, the weather is getting hotter. The so-called treatment of winter diseases in the summer is a good time to treat symptoms of deficiency and cold. I just hope that you will listen to me and don’t be greedy for cold this summer. You don’t need ice if you can, and don’t eat too much of those herbal teas, fruits, or they may damage the efficacy of the medicine.”

"Just as Madam Zhang said, Mammy, Ging Guo, you can write it down for me, and you must abide by Madam Zhang's instructions."

"That's very good, Miss. I have prescribed a prescription for you. You must take it every day, once in the morning and evening. You should check your pulse and adjust the prescription every five days. During the period of taking the medicine, Miss also needs to adjust your mood and calm your mind. You must not Think too much."       "Okay, I've written it down."

Xia Dongchun wanted to sigh when she thought of having to take two bowls of bitter medicine every day for the next few days, but for the sake of long-term planning, she was not unwilling.

Two days later, the aunt who came out of the palace also arrived at Xia Mansion and settled directly in Xia Dongchun's courtyard. She asked Gingo to clean up the west wing carefully, and all the expenses were compared with Xia Dongchun's.

The aunt did not reveal her name, only said her surname was Feng, and everyone in the Xia family called her Aunt Feng.

It is said that Aunt Feng was the imperial concubine who served the late emperor. After the imperial concubine passed away, she also stayed in the Yonghe Palace and also entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Later, she was transferred to the Yangxin Palace because she had the qualifications to handle things properly. After the death of the late emperor, When the new emperor ascended the throne, in order to show his filial piety, he released a group of elderly palace maids. Aunt Feng felt that they had stayed in the palace for too long, and the nephews outside the palace also made some achievements with her help. , and was willing to support her, so he went out of the palace to support her in her old age.

When Xia Dongchun heard about Aunt Feng's resume, she felt that this person was definitely not simple. Sure enough, after getting along with her, I felt that Aunt Feng was a very impeccable person. Xia Dongchun benefited a lot from talking to her every time. As time went by, she also subtly learned a bit of Aunt Feng's calmness and appropriateness.

The days went by like this. Xia Dongchun drank bitter medicine to recuperate her body every day, communicated and studied with Madam Feng, and communicated with her sister-in-law about various purchasing matters. In her free time, she calmed down and read many poems and books quietly. , occasionally Xia Lingyun and Xia Tengyun would take Xia Dongchun out to walk around the streets together after returning from the army. Before they knew it, several months had passed.

After the primary and secondary selections, Xia Dongchun entered the palace selection without any surprise. This was what she expected.

On the day of the palace election, Xia Dongchun was still dressed as in her previous life. She was wearing a Suzhou embroidery flag outfit that was worth a lot of money. The bright red velvet flowers on her head were even more eye-catching. The difference was that this time she was no longer the arrogant and domineering Xia Dongchun in her previous life. .

I rode a mule cart into Di'an Gate, was led by the eunuch into Shenwu Gate, and got off the cart in front of Shunzhen Gate. The process was the same as in the previous life.

Upon entering the Shunzhen Gate, several housekeepers had already spotted Xia Dongchun with keen eyesight and gathered around her enthusiastically. These people were all from lower backgrounds than Xia Dongchun, and they had some friendships on weekdays, just flattering and scorning others.

Xia Dongchun knew that the people in front of him were all unsuccessful as expected. After greeting them, he had no intention of listening to their flattery and just excused himself as he was tired and walked away.

While walking towards the clean place, she searched the yard for the An Lingrong who poured tea on herself. As she later learned, An Lingrong was late on the day of the draft and almost missed the time, so she hurried The ground is not yet filled with tea. Naturally, she also knew that the news of making things difficult for An Lingrong would soon reach Concubine Hua.

After looking around, An Lingrong was not seen. Instead, he saw Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang holding hands and talking affectionately. Xia Dongchun secretly thought, if she hadn't taken the opportunity to make things difficult for An Lingrong this time, would the three of them still have a chance to get acquainted? If you miss it by a hair or a thousand miles, how big a change will your existence bring?
  The people who were surrounding Xia Dongchun were still talking together, and they laughed from time to time. Xia Dongchun frowned secretly as he looked at the people who behaved similarly to him in his previous life. At this time, Xia Dongchun saw a familiar figure, it was An Lingrong who had arrived belatedly, still holding a teacup in his hand and walking in a hurry.

Xia Dongchun was a little afraid of An Lingrong. Wenwen looks weak, but he turns out to be such a careful, smart and ruthless person.

Xia Dongchun thought that by staying aside, he could avoid An Lingrong making mistakes and being made things difficult for him.

The sound of breaking porcelain sounded, and Xia Dongchun was stunned.

"Why are you so reckless? Tea spilled on my clothes."

The speaker was one of the people who were talking to Xia Dongchun just now. Xia Dongchun recognized her. She was Wu Qingfang, the young daughter of a member of the Ministry of War.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Which beautiful girl are you from? You poured such hot tea on me." But Wu Qingfang raised her voice when she saw An Lingrong dressed plainly, without even a decent piece of jewelry, and so weak. , everyone’s attention was immediately attracted.

"My name is An Lingrong, and my father is... my father... the Prime Minister of Songyang County, An Bihuai."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were several low chuckles from the crowd, making An Lingrong even more embarrassed.

"As expected, I am from a small family in a remote village. Why bother to lose my face to the palace? Do you know how expensive my clothes are, but they were specially prepared for the draft, and now they have been ruined by you."

Xia Dongchun's expression darkened. Was she so annoying in her previous life? Zhen Huan saw Zhen Huan on the side and wanted to step forward to stand up for An Lingrong, but was pulled back by Shen Meizhuang. Xia Dongchun has no intention of getting involved in this matter. There are so many people here who have informants, so it is not the best idea to come forward at this time.
