first princess

Chapter 4
As soon as Shui Lingqing opened her mouth, Shui Lingyu tightly grabbed her wrist, signaling her to keep silent.Seeing Shui Lingyue's silent expression, the eldest lady has already guessed that she is the culprit. Whether they testify or not, Shui Lingyue can't escape the anger of the eldest lady, but Shui Lingqing tells the truth, but she is offended invisibly Shui Lingyue.

Qin Fangyi's eyes flickered coldly, and she turned to ask Xiang Shui Linglong: "Did your fourth sister push you?"

"That's what I saw." Shui Linglong is not afraid of offending Shui Lingyue, some people will let you go if you don't provoke her, and Shui Lingyue, a cannon, has often tripped her up in her previous life.

Shui Lingyue was trembling all over, and said falteringly: "I... I... I didn't do it on purpose... I... I slipped on the soles of my feet, I fell, and... accidentally bumped into the second sister. Actually, if the eldest sister didn't suddenly If I squat down to pick up something, I won't bump into the second sister! You know, the one in front of me is the eldest sister!"

At the end of the talk, she became a little more confident, and felt that Shui Linglong avoided it on purpose.

Shui Linglong blinked her bright eyes suspiciously: "Fourth sister, you mean that you were going to bump into me, but you bumped into second sister by accident, is that so?"

"I..." Shui Lingyue took a breath, "Bitch girl, don't talk nonsense!"

"Bad girl? Who taught you this? You are all daughters of the Shangshu Mansion, how can there be a distinction between high and low? Now you dare to insult elder sister in front of me. I don't know how you bully other sisters behind your back. !" Qin Fangyi glared at Shui Lingyue hatefully, what a useless thing!She is the aunt's mother, and the concubine's virtues are bad, so it's because she can't teach well if it spreads?

Shui Lingxi sobbed and cried until the pear blossoms were raining, Qin Fangyi's heart ached to death, she looked solemn, and said sharply: "Chastity is quiet and leisure, and it is shameful to behave yourself, it is a woman's virtue; don't talk nonsense and domineering, choose words , stop at the right time, it is for women's speech. Did you hire a female teacher to teach you in vain? Look at what kind of ghost you have learned in women's morals and women's words? 》, when did you get the hang of it, and when will you come out again!"

What?Let her kneel in the ancestral hall in such a cold day?Still copied "The Commandments for Women"?
"Mother! Mother, I really didn't mean it! Mother—" Shui Lingyue was about to kneel down to Qin Fangyi as she spoke, but Poetry and Painting didn't give her this chance. He mercilessly dragged out Chang Le Xuan.

Shui Lingxi was injured, Qin Fangyi couldn't be in the mood to eat, after sending a few concubine daughters back to the yard, he immediately sent someone to the palace to invite an imperial physician to come over to give Shui Lingxi a diagnosis and treatment.

After leaving the gate of Changlexuan, Shui Linglong stopped Shui Lingqing, and took the lavender brocade with cloud pattern from Mother Zhong's hand and handed it to her: "After looking around, I think this color is more suitable for you."

Shui Lingqing blushed, and timidly refused: "I... I have two, enough to wear."

Shui Linglong pointed to the dark red Wufu Longevity satin in Fu'er's hand, and said with a smile, "This satin looks good on Aunt Feng."

Shui Lingqing's face turned even redder, the dark red satin was indeed chosen for Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng is a lowly concubine, her life is relatively poor, and she hasn't made new clothes for a long time.

"What a filial child." Qing'er looks so much like her!Even the fate of the previous life was so similar. In the previous life, Shui Lingqing was married to a [-]-year-old official to fill in the house by the eldest lady. Under the persecution of the concubines, she had a miscarriage for the third time, and finally had a mental breakdown and set herself on fire.In this life, with her rebirth, will her fate change?Shui Linglong stretched out her hand and touched Shui Lingqing's face, "Mother prepared some materials for me separately, I have some to wear, you don't have to be polite to me."

Big sister's hands are so cool and comfortable, like mother's hands.Shui Lingqing couldn't say anything if she wanted to refuse, she just smiled and said: "Thank you, big sister!"

After Shui Lingqing and Fu'er left, Mother Zhong asked suspiciously, "Miss, when did Qin Fangyi prepare the ingredients for you?"

Shui Linglong touched the jewelry box, and said calmly: "How can such expensive jewelry not deserve some outstanding materials? Look, new materials will be sent to Lingxiangyuan soon."

Why is Qin Fangyi so nice to Miss?Mother Zhong scratched her head: "I don't understand this. Since the materials are sent later, why do you send the jewelry first? Could it be that... Qin Fangyi deliberately provokes Miss Fourth's jealousy towards you?"

"It's true to stir up Shui Lingyue's jealousy towards me, and it's not false to give me jewelry from the heart." Shui Linglong's eyes as cold as Youyue's were full of mockery, "Let's talk about Shui Lingyue, on the surface Qin Fangyi wanted to use Shui Lingyue to beat me, but in fact, she was trying to make Shui Lingyue make mistakes, and what she really wanted to abuse was Aunt Zhou's heart."

"Huh?" Mother Zhong was stunned.

Shui Linglong smiled lightly: "Last night, father stayed in Aunt Zhou's yard."

Mother Zhong suddenly realized that it was so! "Miss, why did you send fabric to Miss Fifth? You couldn't be more sympathetic to Miss Fifth, right?"

compassion?After living a new life, she has long since lost her heart.Her greatest wish in this life is to take back everything that belongs to Dong Jiaxue, and trample Qin Fangyi and Shui Lingxi under her feet!

As it was approaching lunch time, Shiqing sent over the top-quality satin, a piece of sky-blue Shu brocade and a piece of translucent single gauze. Although there were no complicated patterns and colors, the quality of workmanship was far from the ones seen in Changle Xuan this morning. The material is comparable, and besides that, there are two bolts of fine cotton for inner and middle coats.

Also coming was a tailor who made clothes for the ladies in the house.The tailor measured Shui Linglong's size and cut some corresponding fabrics before leaving with Shiqing.

As soon as they left, A Rong, the maid beside Aunt Feng, came on the back.

Aunt Feng was originally the lady's dowry maid, with a pretty appearance and a gentle personality, although the dowry maids are usually given to the master as a housemate, but Aunt Feng is honest, she only knows how to do things, and has never deliberately attracted Shui Hangge's attention Note that Qin Fangyi also put out that plan, until the young and beautiful Aunt Zhou married into Shang Shufu as a noble concubine, Qin Fangyi had a sense of crisis, and then agreed to Shui Hangge with Aunt Feng.

Aunt Zhou was able to give birth to a child because she was smart and overcame Qin Fangyi's calculations; Aunt Feng was able to give birth to a child because she was honest and gained Qin Fangyi's trust.Shui Linglong feels that an honest person may not be a brainless person.

In the outer room, Huahong and Liulu are making nets, preparing to sew a hand warmer for Shui Linglong.Zhi Fan went to Gongzhong to get dinner, and Ye Mao was picking up the soles of his shoes.Mother Zhong was mending Shui Linglong's worn-out inner garment.When they saw A Rong, they all temporarily stopped their work and greeted her: "A Rong is here."

Ah Rong nodded with a smile, and bowed to Shui Linglong again: "Slave, A Rong, send my regards to Missy, best wishes to Missy."

"There's no need to be too polite." Shui Linglong said kindly.

A Rong stood up as she said, and looked at Huahong with a smile: "Huahong, is your mother better? I plan to visit, but Auntie Feng left two maids, and I'm a bit too busy."

Huahong smiled and said, "It's much better, thank you Miss A Rong for your concern."

Except for Zhi Fan, these maidservants are all the children of the mansion, but A Rong greets Hua Hong alone.Shui Linglong couldn't help but glance at Huahong, and then, she blinked her quiet eyes, and asked with a smile: "Auntie Feng sent you here for something?"

A Rong presented a purple purse embroidered with flying birds with both hands, and said: "Aunt Feng sewed a purse for each lady, please accept it."

Aunt Feng was probably thanking her for sending materials to Shui Lingqing, but it was not easy to do too much and Qin Fangyi was suspicious, so she gave them to everyone, so it didn't look abrupt.Shui Linglong took it, and smiled slightly: "I like it very much, thank you, Aunt Feng, Mama Zhong, you can send Miss A Rong out."

"Okay!" Mother Zhong bit off the end of the thread, put away the embroidery needles, and then got up to send A Rong out of the yard.

Soon, Zhi Fan came back with lunch, compared to last night's vegetarian dish, there are three or two slices of meat in today's soup.Shui Linglong was full after eating, and then asked the maids to bring the food down to eat, while she took Mama Zhong, who had also eaten, out for a walk to digest.

Shui Lingxi's injury really caused an uproar in the mansion, all the servants in the mansion looked solemn, performing their duties, and dared not even talk and laugh.

After Shui Hangge went down to court, he immediately rushed to Changlexuan, and even rejected the evening banquet with his colleagues, so he concentrated on staying in Qin Fangyi's yard with Shui Lingxi.

Aunt Zhou ran over to intercede for Shui Lingyue, but was slapped severely by Shui Hangge. For the next whole month, Shui Hangge never set foot in Aunt Zhou's yard again. Of course, this is another story.

After Shui Linglong went back to the yard, she picked out a few white steamed buns and put them in the cabinet next to the stove. Seven days later, penicillium grew on the steamed buns.Shui Linglong grinds rice into juice, mixes it with taro juice as a culture medium, puts Penicillium in it and cultivates it for another seven days, then filters it with filter cotton, and then puts rapeseed oil in, the water under the oil is the real Medicinal.But it is not pure enough for the time being. It has to be stirred with black charcoal, cleaned with soda water on the lid of the pot, added vinegar and boiled seaweed water, and filtered again. Only then is the Penicillium medicine of average purity.

After she was done, Shui Linglong took the penicillin medicine to Fushouyuan.The old lady leaned against the head of the bed, looking haggard, and her old eyes were cloudy, which was a bit worse than last time.The old lady did not expect that Shui Linglong would visit her again after half a month.After being slightly surprised, she smiled weakly: "Sit down."

"Grandmother, I once met a doctor in Zhuangzi. He taught me the prescription to cure tuberculosis, but some people are allergic to this medicine and need to test it on the skin, just like this." Shui Linglong said, I took a homemade metal syringe and gave myself a skin test first.

Since she dared to try the medicine herself, the old lady believed that it was non-toxic. Anyway, the imperial physician had already sentenced her to death, and treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor was enough of the child's filial piety.The old lady nodded, and Shui Linglong walked up to her, and tried the medicine for her in the same way.

A quarter of an hour later, the old lady's arm did not show any abnormality, Shui Linglong couldn't help but smiled happily: "Grandmother, you temporarily stop the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and try the medicine I gave you for three days. If it improves, Let's keep taking it, if it doesn't work, how about we switch back to the imperial physician's medicine?"

The old lady touched her arm and nodded perfunctorily, not believing that her method would work.

From Fushouyuan to Lingxiangyuan, passing through an orange orchard, a plum orchard, and a pavilion surrounded by clear water, the cold winter sun slanted on the body, not adding any warmth, but making people unable to open their eyes.

From a distance, Shui Linglong heard the hearty laughter, mellow like fine wine, the listener could feel sweetness and temptation in his heart, Shui Linglong followed the sound and saw two men playing chess in the gazebo, Wearing a blue dress with wheat-colored skin and handsome facial features is the present prince Yunli; wearing a purple brocade dress with fair complexion and enchanting peach eyes is Leng Yixuan, son of the Leng family. The laughter came from Leng Yixuan's mouth.Yun Li's great-grandmother, Empress Xiang Ning, came from the Leng family. Strictly speaking, Leng Yixuan and Yun Li are related.But in the previous life, Leng Yixuan did not participate in any struggle for imperial power after inheriting the position of Patriarch, Yun Li wanted to win him over but failed.

Next to them is Shui Lingxi combing the clouds and sweeping the moon.

Leng Yixuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "His Royal Highness, this chess game has trapped me for three years. If you can solve it, I will promise you ten shark tears."

The so-called sharks have human heads and fish tails, are beautiful and good at singing, weave water into gauze, and shed tears into beads.Of course, this is just a legend. Shark tears are actually very fine pearls.

Yun Li pursed his thin lips lightly, showing embarrassment: "This chess game...is a bit weird."

Leng Yixuan looked at Shui Lingxi, and said in the usual tone: "Second Miss, you might as well give it a try, if you can crack it, you will have the Merman's tears."
