green bamboo dream

What is the condition of brother Qiuwen's illness? Several doctors have already tacitly agreed that the medicine will be prescribed, but there is no guarantee that it will be cured. They just said, "Take the medicine and try it first."

It dragged on for more than half a month, but the situation got worse and worse, the house was so smelly that no one could get close to it, Mrs. Li didn't bother to take care of her, and let her good concubine do everything.

The concubine's appearance of delicate skin and tender flesh made her silent even when she was making things difficult, which made people feel pitiful.

Qiuwen's old lady was told by the doctor that she had hope, and prayed to God and Buddha all day long, hoping that her son would get better.

But Shanchang's illness didn't get better as they expected, and he gradually lost his sanity, and had to be served by others when he ate and drank.

When the first snow fell in winter, news came that he was critically ill.

The fire in the house was burning brightly, and the heat was warm, and the thick walls completely insulated from the wind, snow and cold outside.The temperature is suitable, but the smell in the room is extremely strange. The smell of stench, medicine and strong incense are intertwined, which makes people want to vomit.

"Mother, what should I do?" Li Shi covered her eyes and cried heartbroken. She never thought about such a result. No matter how good or bad he is, he is also her man. She never dared to imagine herself becoming a widow. look.

Hua's whole body was stunned, looking at the only son who was terribly ill on the bed, she wished she could take his place.I only hate God for not opening his eyes. The doctor cured his son's wife and concubine, but he failed to cure his son...

It's killing her

At this time, two old ladies in long coats with dark green borders and collars came in from the door, and they frowned before they could speak. The smell was really uncomfortable.

At any rate, thinking about his errands, he suppressed his nausea and said coldly: "It's getting late, we'd better leave as soon as the snow is light."

According to the rules, maids and wives have to move out of the backyard when they are seriously ill, and come in after recovering from the illness, for fear of passing it on to the masters.Liu Qiuwen's elder brother was in the yard, he was already an exception among the exceptions, but now it seems that he is still unlucky, he was so sick that he could only breathe a sigh of relief.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, it is not bad luck for a person to die in the house, there is no longer any delay, and today I have to move him out no matter what.The second wife has already prepared a place outside, and she can live there just waiting for someone to move out.

"At this moment..." Mrs. Hua looked at the appearance of the snow particles flying and the cold wind outside, shivered, and tugged on the sleeves of her mother-in-law and begged: "Old sister, my son is very sick and can't bear the cold. , take it easy. If you don’t want to go back to the master, I’ll go and beg my wife in person.”

The old woman immediately pulled back her sleeves and sneered: "Don't push yourself too hard. I'm asking all over the capital to find out which tenants are like you... The son was dragged to the master's house with a dirty disease, saying If you go out, you are not afraid of people laughing your teeth out. If God does not bless you, who is to blame? If you die in the house during the New Year's Eve, the whole family will be in bad luck."

Another woman said with her arms folded: "Who do you think the wife in our house is, who told you to meet whenever you want, and to ask for whatever you want? It's not good to say, your daughter is a roommate, a little taller than a maid. There are so many fingernails, and the wife has not been summoned by the master since she entered the door. How can she have some face and can compensate the loss of the Manfu people? Stop talking, and follow me quickly. If next year loses wealth and good luck, It's all your fault."

Hua rubbed her hands anxiously and begged, but Qiuwen's father yelled, "Clean up, let's go."

"Old man..." Hua Shi was so shocked that she forgot her words, subconsciously listened to the words and went to tidy up her things. After walking two steps, she looked back in disbelief.

I saw that the old man who had always been shrewd and capable, and kept a way out in everything, unexpectedly raised his eyebrows at the woman who came forward with a rare posture of going forward.

The two women looked at each other and said with a smile: "That's all right, hurry up."

The house stinks, and no one is impatient to wait any longer.

Qiuwen also brought a small bundle to see him off, and lay down on the comatose Shanchang quilt, crying loudly, until the mother-in-law urged her to put down a new set of clothes and a pair of new shoes in the bundle, and wept bitterly and left.

The two women are capable, and within half a day they settled down for Qiu Wen's family, and returned to talk to Yu Zhu.

It was just a trivial matter, Yu Zhu didn't ask any more questions, and sent them off after giving the reward.

Soon at the end of the month, the Ji family became busy. There were a lot of things at home, and the mother in charge and the maids were even more busy, sweeping the dust, scrubbing, pasting peach charms, and getting the year's decorations from the warehouse... …

The only advantage is that because of the filial piety period, the scale of ancestor worship in the ancestral hall during the New Year's Day is much smaller, and the side branch was notified early not to come to the Duke's Mansion, which relieved a lot of pressure on the Ji family.

That night, Yu Zhu was finishing finishing touches to brother Xi's little jacket, when Hua Ruo came in with a serious face.

"Ma'am, there are people coming from Chunxi Residence, Mrs. Tai told you to come over."

Yu Zhu was startled, and then frowned: "At this moment? Did you say what happened?"

Hua Ruo shook his head in bewilderment: "There's only a little maid who doesn't understand anything."

Yu Zhu changed her clothes and took her maid to Chunxi Residence.

It is still a newly moved in yard, and there are traces of repairs everywhere.Under the bright light in the corridor, the freshly painted walls and the newly arranged small potted pine trees complement each other, and the whole yard is full of vitality, which is worthy of the name of her Chunxiju.

"Serve the second wife tea." As soon as she entered the door, Princess Zhuyi smiled and ordered the servant girl.

Smiling, she took the teacup and put it on the table. Yu Zhu met Princess Zhuyi's eyes and said, "Is there something wrong with you calling me here?" , Brother Xi is about to wake up, don't let her spoil the good time of a family of three.

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the little maid came from outside: "The old master and the second master are here."

"Yo, what a coincidence, why are you back here?" Princess Zhuyi stood up in amazement, and glanced at Yuzhu with a slight smile.

Yu Zhu also stood up right behind her, leaning towards the two people who came in.

"Okay, let's all sit down." The old man rubbed his brows wearily, and slowly sat down on the top.

Princess Zhuyi immediately handed the teacup to her and said with a smile, "It's your favorite Dahongpao, this year's new tea... drink some hot tea to relieve fatigue."

The old man calmed down, took it with a smile, and took a sip of the tea. The tea fragrance was steaming, and the fatigue between his brows faded a lot. "What's the matter, are you still talking so late?"

Princess Zhuyi covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "It's just a trivial matter... But I think about it, we will be a family in the future, so I don't want to hide some things, so I bothered the second wife to run."

"Oh?" The old man put down his teacup, glanced at Yuzhu, and then turned to Princess Zhuyi.

Yu Zhu's hands naturally overlapped and hung down on her lower abdomen, her eyebrows were lowered and her eyes were pleasing to the eye.

Princess Zhuyi smiled and said: "It's really not a big deal, it was just a whisper from our women's family, but I didn't expect it to alarm you men."

Following her movements, a slender strand of silk twined in her hair trembled slightly, and Ming Cui's waves rippling, "I remember a few days ago, a servant girl named Qiu Wen came to the second room. The old and the young were crying and kneeling in front of me, and wanted to seek medical treatment for my precious only son, so I let them stay. Because it was inconvenient to meddle in the affairs of the second wife, the second wife led them back to the yard."

After a pause, he continued: "Not long ago, I heard that the Second Household had hired several doctors. I was very happy, and thought that I was indirectly saving someone's life. Although I am not as compassionate as my sister, I am one step closer."

Princess Zhuyi tapped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, her eye circles were reddish, "I don't know that the person was not rescued in the end, and he was sent away because the New Year was approaching... I felt uncomfortable after hearing this, thinking that the place where I was resettled was remote, and there was no The good doctor was willing to go to see a doctor, so he simply sent another doctor to have a look. Years ago, it was counted as doing good deeds for the whole family, but who would have heard of it..."

Yu Zhu raised his head abruptly, seeing Princess Zhuyi's eyes flickering hesitantly across his face, and then stopped talking abruptly.

The old man listened to it for a long time, but he couldn't understand clearly, so he couldn't help asking: "And then?"

Cheng Xunxun frowned, and glanced at Yu Zhu.

"Who knew that the doctor would come back and tell my concubine that Qiuwen's elder brother has not been treated for a long time, and that if he takes good care of him, his condition will never be so serious." Princess Zhuyi looked at it very sadly. Yu Zhu took a look: "...why bother?"

Why bother what?

No, she is the first wife, and Qiuwen is just a small housemaid, she has no pregnancy and no pregnancy, so she can't pose the slightest threat to herself, so why bother to use such vicious methods to deal with her brother.

Yu Zhu tilted her head and thought for a while, Cheng Xunxun asked her to take care of him at the beginning, if she really died of a serious illness because of Shan Chang, then of course it has nothing to do with her.But if you get seriously ill or even die because you haven't received medical treatment, then it's a little troublesome...

Besides, it was intentional to call me here at this time, and it happened that when the old man and Cheng Xunxun came back, they made it clear that they wanted to teach themselves a lesson.

"Haven't been healed for a long time?" Cheng Xunxun repeated with some doubts, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Yu Zhu can't be so narrow-minded, she usually treats Qiuwen well, let alone treats her brother harshly.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Princess Zhuyi, and slowly lowered his eyes to hide the slight disgust in his eyes.

"How did this happen?" Yu Zhu followed up, her voice not only louder and brighter, but also full of anger and anger: "Who is going to take care of it? Hurry and find her, and see if I don't hit her."

"...Don't get angry, it's the servant girl's fault." Princess Zhuyi smiled and sipped her tea, looking at the old man, but speaking to Yuzhu.

The old man lowered his head in embarrassment... What's the big deal about the second daughter-in-law disposing of a servant girl?So he simply chased people away: "It's getting late, old 2 and the old 2's family should go back first, check it out and then talk about it."

"Yes."

Cheng Xunxun and Yuzhu agreed to stand up and bowed to salute.

The old man was very tired and went to the clean room immediately.

Yu Zhu walked to the door, turned her head suddenly, and showed a charming smile towards Princess Zhuyi, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a bit of playfulness, as if to say "you wait".

Princess Zhuyi was drinking tea with her head down, but she didn't see it, but Yu's mother, who was waiting beside her, could see it clearly, she felt a little dizzy immediately, and her heart beat violently.

Is it wrong to attack the second wife... Also, will their plan succeed?

Hurrying back to the Qingyu Courtyard, before Cheng Xunxun could speak, Yu Zhu called the woman who was in charge of the small courtyard where Shan Chang lived back then to come in for questioning.

It's just that I don't know if I can ask something, because Qiu Wen is a maid in the house, and it is considered a kindness to have a little maid to serve and do rough work, let alone send a maid to take care of her brother.

Most of the maids in the Duke's mansion live like the vice-misses. Not to mention their hearts are higher than the sky, at least they have a certain energy inside. Even if they are sent there, they will not be thoughtful and dedicated in serving them. They are not as good as the care of relatives. .

She never thought that the medicine that was prepared and delivered would not be used on Qiuwen's brother... Since she was so careless, why did she go all the way to the Duke's mansion and risk being punished by the master?

What this family thinks, Yu Zhu is still at a loss after thinking about it.

The lady who was talking back and forth was round and strong, her hair was combed back smooth, she was quite similar to Mrs. Li, when she saw Yuzhu and Cheng Xunxun, she hurriedly knelt down.

After hearing Yuzhu's question, she became anxious and hurriedly said: "This servant really doesn't know...Because my wife ordered me to stay here for more than half a month, I don't dare to neglect in the slightest."

"How many people usually look after the bed?"

Cheng Xunxun, who was silent at the side, suddenly spoke.

The mother-in-law was taken aback, and after realizing it, she quickly replied respectfully: "There is only Lotus."

She couldn't help but said angrily: "The disease is smelly. The strongest incense is burning inside and outside the house. This can't wash away the smell. Others can't avoid it. Only the lotus is forced into the house by the mistress to change it." Medicine, medicine."

"Lotus...is that kind concubine?" Yu Zhu remembered that Ruan's mother had mentioned that Qiu Wen's elder brother had a wife and a concubine, and the wife was unwilling to go in, so the unlucky one should be the concubine.

"That's right, it hasn't been long since Gangna." The old woman hurriedly replied, "I was also infected, but fortunately, the illness is still mild, and I was cured together with Mrs. Li."

Yu Zhu wondered: "Why didn't his mother take care of him, didn't it mean that he only had one son, how could he be willing to let a young concubine take care of him?"

No matter how stinky or troublesome, the wife can avoid it, but how can the mother avoid it?

The mother-in-law shook her head to express her ignorance.

"Second Master?"

Yu Zhu turned her head to look at Cheng Xunxun who was sitting on the kang with a sullen face.

Cheng Xunxun pondered for a while, and said coldly: "To find out...bring the lotus in first." After a pause, he ordered: "Hua Ruo, go and call Qiu Wen. I want to see who brought this lotus in." The story went to the princess."

Hua Ruo hurriedly agreed and bowed his knees to salute, and retreated.Not long after, the little maid raised the curtain, and Qiuwen, whose face was full of tears, stumbled into the main room.
