Painting Tang Jiao

Chapter 8
I found a master who knows medicine to check it, but it was just an ordinary snake, after a simple bandaging with medicine.The eldest wife took the people back to the house. When this happened, she didn't feel like eating the vegetarian food that she had agreed upon.

Just looking at the mood of the second wife, I think things are going very smoothly.

Qing Huan withdrew her gaze and helped Fifth Girl into the carriage.

Along the way, the fourth girl had guilt that anyone could see on her face, Qing Huan lowered her head and remained silent.

The atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat depressing, and after taking the medicine, Miss Wu was drowsy in the bumps.

As soon as she arrived at the Yan Mansion, the eldest wife arranged for servants to carry the fifth girl back, while she hurriedly took the second girl to the Rongshou Hall.

Qing Huan asked Xue Zhu to stay at Wu Girl's place to take care of her.

"Fifth sister is like this, I'm always worried. You keep it, if there is news, let someone go over and call me."

I didn't think it was far from the main house to my small courtyard before, but I thought this distance was very good.It's just that Qing Huan is a little tired today and has just arrived in the courtyard.

Qing Huan fell down.

Aunt Liu was shocked, and after asking the servant who sent Qing Huan back, she found out what happened in Baohua Temple.

On the one hand, he was glad that Qing Huan was walking behind, but on the other hand, he was worried that the fifth girl's matter would affect the girl.

The old lady and eldest lady who were talking in Rongshoutang were both stunned when they received the news that Qing Huan had fainted.Knowing that it's just fatigue and heavy thoughts, it's good to rest for a while, so I don't mention it, I just let Qing Huan take good care of her.

Xue Zhu wanted to go back after receiving the news, but she just thought of the task Qing Huan had given her, thought for a while, and stayed.

In the middle of the night, it began to rain heavily.

Qing Huan, who was lying on the bed, started talking nonsense.

"Sister, I saw him..."

Aunt Liu changed into a new cotton handkerchief, and put it on Qing Huan's forehead coldly.

"Aunt Liu, girl, she is having nightmares again." Linglu just changed the water in the copper basin, and this time she was sitting in front of the bed with Xiaozhu.

During the few days with a high fever, although Qing Huan tried her best to endure it, she occasionally uttered nonsense.

"What the doctor means is that the girl fell ill because she was frightened and overwhelmed."

Aunt Liu looked at Qing Huan lying on the bed and felt sad.

When I was in Yuhang, there were old masters and wives doting on her, and the eldest girl loved her younger siblings.When a girl has been wronged and over-thinking, what kind of thoughts can a girl have.Suddenly came to Yan's mansion, even a concubine in the second room, the girl had to be careful.

From Aunt Liu's point of view, Qing Huan should just go with Fifth Girl, but only Fifth Girl was bitten by a snake and worried too much, afraid that people in the house would gossip.

Mancao came in carefully carrying the medicine, according to the doctor, it has the effect of calming the nerves.

It's just that Qing Huan's lips were tightly closed, and the medicine couldn't be fed no matter what.

This is not a solution, Aunt Liu cruelly lifted Qing Huan into her arms, opened her chin with one hand, and poured the medicine into it with the other hand.

Most of the bowl of medicinal soup was sprinkled on Qing Huan's body, Mancao and Linglu were busy getting new clothes from the cage, and the other was hugging a new bedding.

After being settled, Qing Huan was still not awake, but her frowns were loosened.

Aunt Liu exhaled, and asked Mancao and Linglu to go outside to watch midnight alone.

He put on his clothes and sat by the bed, always paying attention to Qing Huan's situation.

In Qing Huan's dream, her little self appeared again, which was her previous self.

Xiao Qinghuan looked at the crowd shaking in confusion, and there were white cloths hanging everywhere in the room.

Someone is crying.

Xiao Qinghuan ran over with strides, and saw the person kneeling on the ground crying weakly.

Xiao Qinghuan was puzzled why her sister was crying.

Xiao Qinghuan called her sister, but the kneeling girl did not respond.Xiao Qinghuan stretched out her hand, but it passed through the plain girl's body soundlessly.

One day, two days, three days.... .

Slowly, Xiao Qinghuan remembered that she was dead.

When I went to celebrate the first anniversary of my parents' death with my sister, the carriage overturned into the river.

It's just that Qing Huan doesn't understand why she is still here.

If I am here, why can't I see my father and mother?

Feeling puzzled, Qing Huan followed closely beside her sister Ya Huan.

At first, I was unwilling to leave and wanted to see my sister.

Later, Qing Huan found that she could no longer leave her sister's side, and could only move around her, but there was an invisible barrier blocking her further away.

Time passed.

Yahuan slowly began to come out of her grief, always with a little boy by her side.Xiao Qinghuan knew that it was her younger brother, Yan Jun.

When Jun'er was four years old, the Yan family sent someone to pick up Yahuan and her brother back to the capital.

At that time, Yahuan had just finished observing her parents' three-year filial piety.

Thinking of the letter sent by that person in Kyoto, Yahuan blushed.Just looking at the immature younger brother, Yahuan packed the box and took Aunt Liu Jun'er back to the capital.

Qing Huan read those letters, during the three years of filial piety, Ya Huan seldom smiled, only happy when facing Jun'er and receiving letters.

Qing Huan was puzzled, but Jun'er understood why the letter was written.

Later, I heard the conversation between Aunt Liu and my sister, and learned about my sister's marriage, the marriage between the eldest daughter of the Yan family and the current eldest son He Jitong, which was arranged by Mrs. Yan with Uncle Ruyang's mansion when he was still alive.

Qing Huan followed her sister and brother back home.

The elder sister who had just returned home carefully, but still couldn't avoid hearing the gossip of the servants.

The four words of "staying under the fence" oppressed Yahuan's nerves day and night.

Qing Huan watched her sister wake up every night and cry, and during the day, she carefully joked and joked with Mrs. Yan.When she arrived in Kyoto, Qing Huan rarely saw her younger brother Jun'er.

Only occasionally when I go to pay my respects with my sister, can I see it in Rongshou Hall.

In the year of my sister Jiji, the color of bright red covered the small courtyard where I lived.

That was also the first time I saw the person who made my sister smile so sweetly.

Qing Huan followed the sedan chair to Uncle Ruyang's Mansion, and saw how happy her sister was in the first few months, but every time she received a letter from Yan Mansion, regret and grief flashed across her face.

During the day, my sister looked up and revealed that she was receiving visitors as the wife of Bo Shizi of Ruyang. At night, the person called brother-in-law slowly disappeared in the yard.

For countless nights, Qing Huan saw her sister wash her face with tears, but she was powerless with her fists clenched.

I was so powerless that I watched my sister lose weight, her face was yellow and bony.

When the man reappeared, there was a woman by his side.

Qing Huan remembered her, and heard her elder sister calling her second younger sister.

The woman looked up proudly and looked down at her sister on the bed.

Then began to tell the story of her and that man, about their love at first sight, about their romance.

The man stood beside him without saying a word, ignoring his sister's slightly begging and sad eyes.

Before leaving, the woman bent down to her sister's ear and gave her a bigger blow.

My sister always thought that her mother-in-law, who loved her so much, was also the one who hated him the most, but her sister's illness was drugged, or the mother-in-law did it herself.

"If you want to blame, blame why you didn't die in the river that year."

My sister left with her eyes wide open, full of reluctance.

From the beginning to the end, Jun'er never appeared.

Maybe she forgot to have such a sister.

Qing Huan was also confused, and gradually lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was at the bottom of the river where he died.

I thought I wouldn't feel it anymore, but I was suffocated by the river water.

The water plants got tighter and tighter, Qing Huan couldn't help twisting her body.But the small body couldn't struggle no matter what.

Qing Huan opened her eyes and tried her best to look around. It would be nice if she was looking at her sister.

Someone approached behind him, and Qing Huan felt that someone was helping to pull the water plants around his ankles.

Qing Huan wanted to lower her head, but she was dizzy.

The restraints on the feet were gone, and someone pushed himself upstream.

"Sister." Qing Huan hissed.

Aunt Liu, who heard the movement, stood up abruptly and rushed to Qing Huan's side.

"Girl, girl, wake up."

The creeper of the night watch came in with a candle.

Drenched in sweat, Qing Huan threw herself into Aunt Liu's arms.

"Girl, don't be afraid. It's just a nightmare. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Aunt Liu coaxed softly.

Man Cao poured the tea, and Qing Huan drank it in small sips.

"Auntie, why did my sister push me up?" Qing Huan asked helplessly.

Aunt Liu was slightly taken aback, the girl seemed to have forgotten about that incident in the past few years, she never mentioned the matter of falling into the river, she thought she would not ask about it.

Aunt Liu remembered that when she went to incense that day, she took the young master to sit in the second carriage.The eldest girl and the young girl were sitting in the first carriage. When passing by the river, the carriage suddenly fell into the river.

When rescued, the eldest girl was already out of breath.

The person who went into the water said that the eldest girl at that time supported the girl's body tightly, so that the girl could occasionally come out of the water without being suffocated for breathing.

"Girl, the eldest girl is your older sister. The eldest girl has loved you since she was a child, so she is willing not to save you." Aunt Liu whispered about the past. "After the master and wife have left, only the young lady and the young master are beside the eldest girl..."

Qing Huan leaned in Aunt Liu's arms, dazed.

She has never understood what changed, and she became herself instead of her sister to live.

When I died, it was my sister and Jun'er who I hated the most.

So….Qing Huan felt that she should understand something.

Jun'er.

Qing Huan's illness comes and goes quickly, after a night of sleep, she has recovered.

When Xuezhu came back, she brought the news that the fifth younger sister was fine.

At the same time, he said that the marriage of the second girl was settled.

In the morning when the sky was bright, the news about the marriage between the second girl and the eldest son of Uncle Ruyang's mansion spread throughout the entire Yan Mansion.

Aunt Liu fell to the ground while feeding the porridge with a spoon.

Xuezhu gave Aunt Liu a strange look.

Aunt Liu said in a panic, "It's all my fault, I lost my mind just now and didn't hold the spoon firmly."

Qing Huan took a look and said, "Auntie, you stayed with me last night. Now that Xuezhu is back, you can go down and rest. Let's talk after recovering your energy."

Seeing the bruises under Aunt Liu's eyes, Xuezhu silently took the porcelain bowl in her hand, and replaced it with a clean spoon.

Qing Huan looked at Aunt Liu's leaving back, thinking of Xuezhu's voice in her ears.

"The fifth girl said she wanted to come and see the girl. I thought that the fifth girl hurt her foot and it was inconvenient to go back and forth, so I helped the girl to persuade her to go back. But the fourth girl might come. Do you want to take a bath and change clothes?"

Seeing that Qing Huan didn't speak, Xuezhu continued: "The second girl's marriage is finalized, and the girl will start preparing to add makeup. I've inquired about it. The old lady means it will happen at the beginning of next year. Time is running out, and the girl will also Prepare early."
