The story of a noble girl

Chapter 70 Su House

Chapter 70 Su Mansion ([-])

No wonder the women in the big mansion are in poor health all day long, eating this way, and not going out all day, it's no wonder that they are in good health!
----

After finally breaking up the banquet, Madam Su said with concern: "Xiao Ning'er must be tired, look at her ugly face, quickly take her back to the courtyard to rest," she turned to Madam Su and said, "Shuhui, you Take Xiao Ning'er, ask the two servant girls to put two more charcoal stoves in the house, it's cold, and the girl brought by Xiao Ning'er, I'm afraid that Xiao Ning'er will get used to serving her, so I will arrange it Let's take a rest with Xiao Ning'er in the side room, we are tired, and we will have a banquet after Qi'er comes back at night, Qi'er has been talking about Xiao Ning'er."

During the dinner, it was set up in the main hall, Zhang Nian was also invited to the table, and Master Su sat on the right side of Mrs. Su.A group of people, men and women, as well as the two concubines of the Su family, were sitting in the banquet, placed around the table like dumplings, sitting in a well-behaved manner, with all smiles on their faces, the smiles seemed to be carved out , everything is the same, Lin Xiaoning sighed in his heart.

Master Su is very young, with the shadow of Mr. Su on his face, handsome and romantic.He was very polite to Lin Xiaoning, and kept asking Mr. Lin, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Fang, his age, his health, and how he was doing recently. Lin Xiaoning answered them politely.Master Su asked Lin Jiadong and Fu Guanyue again, and then asked Xiaoxiang and Xiaobao...

Lin Xiaoning bit the bullet to deal with it. At the beginning, she remembered to use honorifics, but in the end she became as rigid as answering the household registration check. When she realized it, she felt that she was quite rude.Seeing Meizi standing beside her, she was so stupid that she didn't know to remind her.Lin Xiaoning was sweating on his chest and back in this warm spring-like main hall, not because he was afraid, but because he was tossed by the rules.

In the end, Master Su talked about the jar of ginseng wine again, and sighed: "I really didn't expect that the root of my illness for many years would be cured by drinking a jar of wine, and the root was broken. This ginseng is really good, and the age is definitely not low."

Mrs. Su said seriously: "Isn't it? This time Xiao Ning'er came to the house, but gave a whole branch of ginseng, look at the year, at least 500 years, I received it in the library, it can save lives .”

Master Su said in surprise: "500-year-old ginseng! It's hard to find such a price in the market! The Lin family is so interested in the Su family. First they gave ginseng wine, and now they give ginseng. This kind of affection, my Su family will definitely take care of it! "

Old Mrs. Su nodded and said: "The Lin family's skills are extraordinary, Xiao Ning'er is in our house, she must not be neglected, she is good to serve you."

Mr. Su was polite and thanked Lin Xiaoning, and Lin Xiaoning sat on pins and needles.

Mrs. Su said again: "Xiao Ning'er said that the festival between Xiao Ning'er and the magistrate's daughter has settled down, but you should deal with the troubles later and clean it up. You can't let Xiao Ning'er stay in Suzhou I suffered a loss on the ground."

Master Su nodded and said: "I will take care of this matter tomorrow, mother, don't worry." Then he said to Lin Xiaoning, "Miss Lin, don't worry, we will take care of this matter. Just do what you have to do."

Lin Xiaoning said: "I heard that the wife of the prefect of Suzhou is the cousin of the prime minister of the capital. I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome. Master Su has a heart. Let us handle this matter ourselves."

Mrs. Su smiled and said: "What kind of cousin, it's far away, and she has already given five clothes. It's the prefect's wife who claimed to be. Don't worry, Xiao Ning'er, our Su family said it can be done, so naturally it will be done properly. of."

Master Su also smiled calmly: "Miss Lin, don't worry."

Zhang Nian is even more incapable of socializing, with a loud voice, he became excited when he heard about the magistrate, and said loudly: "I don't believe that there is no place for reasoning in the world, and the magistrate of Suzhou will not do it with the salary of the imperial court." It is shameful to bully the people about the affairs of the people. This matter is not over, and it must be pursued. The prefect of Suzhou must be dismissed. If he does not dismiss him, I will go to Beijing to find the emperor and Prince Ning... ..."

This is true, but saying it like this feels a bit silly and showing off.The maidservants standing by the table pursed their lips and secretly laughed after hearing Zhang Nian's words. Lin Xiaoning had a terrible headache and wanted to remind Zhang Nian, but they were too far away.

Finally, Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su changed the subject, smiled and said to leave the table, finally relieved Lin Xiaoning's siege.

During the banquet, Lin Xiaoning tasted the same as chewing wax, and many Jiangnan special dishes did not taste fragrant and salty.At this time Zhang Nian said loudly again: "Oh, miss, why do you eat so little? Could it be that you are sick?!"

Before Lin Xiaoning could take a look at Zhang Nian, Mrs. Su said: "Go and invite a doctor. Xiao Ning'er came to Suzhou all the way. She hasn't had a good rest. She may have caught a cold.
Lin Xiaoning was grateful for a while, smiled at Mrs. Su, carefully considered her words, and said softly: "Isn't it, I caught a cold all the way, but I was nervous when I was out, and I didn't say anything. This time I saw Mrs. Su , It’s like coming home, the heart is at ease, the heart is at ease, and the disease will come out.”

Mrs. Su's eyes crooked as she listened with a smile: "Xiao Ning'er really suffered a lot on the road. She should have come to the mansion when she arrived in Suzhou. Look, now that she's caught cold, don't take it lightly. Let the kitchen fry ginger soup right away. Go to Quhan, let the doctor take a good look at it when the doctor comes over later."

Zhang Nian said again: "There is no need to invite a doctor, the young lady is a doctor herself."

Lin Xiaoning coughed as soon as he heard it, and interrupted Zhang Nian.

Master Su then asked: "Miss Lin can see a doctor?"

Lin Xiaoning said: "Where would it be? I saw that they had headaches and brain fever, so I gave some heat-clearing medicinal materials. It's just that the people in the village work all day long, and their health is very good. It's good to soak in the medicine."

Zhang Nian said again: "Miss is modest, our group of wounded soldiers are seriously injured, as soon as the lady prescribes the medicine, they will recover completely and nothing will happen."

Lin Xiaoning sighed in her heart: This Zhang Nian, can you talk more.
Mr. Su smiled, and didn't take Zhang Nian's words seriously, and said: "Miss Lin's health is critical, it's better to ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment."

Lin Xiaoning nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Su."

After the banquet, as soon as Lin Xiaoning returned to the courtyard, the doctor followed Mrs. Su and Miss Su's cousin. When Lin Xiaoning saw the doctor, it was like seeing a savior, and her eyes lit up.

The doctor is an old doctor. Mrs. Su said that he often treats the Su family. He is the best doctor in Suzhou City and is very good at treating women's physical weakness.

A maid stepped forward and put a silk handkerchief on Lin Xiaoning's wrist, the doctor closed his eyes and signaled his pulse through the silk handkerchief, and then said: "I didn't catch the cold, I'm afraid I was tired, the lady is in good health, she is the best among all the ladies of the rich family." The best thing is to prescribe a prescription for invigorating the middle and nourishing qi, take a good rest for two days and you will be fine."

Mrs. Su's expression relaxed immediately, and she politely said to Miss Biao that she would have a good rest and rest in peace, and then she said to the two maids in the room: "Be careful and wait on Miss Lin, don't let Miss Lin get tired again." left.

The maid hurriedly went to decoct the medicine, Lin Xiaoning asked the other maid who was standing in the room waiting for orders to step back.The room was finally quiet.

Sitting on the bed, Lin Xiaoning and Mei Zi suddenly started laughing, Mei Zi said: "Miss is very healthy, why would she get sick, it's because she doesn't like to socialize."

Lin Xiaoning smiled: "Meizi can tell?"

Mei Zi smiled and said, "I've been with Miss for so long, I know Miss's temper and temperament, of course I can see it."

"Then Meizi, what do you think we should do? This matter is now."

"Call me sick, rest, I'll be fine in two days, and I'll go home."

"Meizi, you didn't learn to read for nothing. I thought you were a fool. I was talking to Master Su during the dinner, and then I got a little confused. I didn't know how to use honorifics, and you didn't know how to remind me."

"My mind was confused at the time. The Su family has so many rules, and I'm not used to them. Miss, what do you mean by Master Su asking so many questions? Isn't it because Master Su has taken a fancy to you? .”

"Meizi, don't talk nonsense!"

"Really, can't you see it? Mrs. Su has already said clearly that Mrs. Su likes Miss." Mei Zi said happily.

"Stupid girl, the relationship between Master Su and I is very pure."

"Miss, I think Mrs. Su likes you. Miss, Mrs. Su is really nice. Su's residence is big, and of course our Lin's residence is not bad. The young master is still Mr. Antong of the sixth rank."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll sew your mouth shut!" Lin Xiaoning scolded.

"Okay, miss, I won't say anything."

The next day, Lin Xiaoning nestled in the house without moving.

Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su came to visit the sick, and they were very happy to see that Lin Xiaoning looked good. They were very polite, and then told the servant girl carefully before leaving.Lin Xiaoning secretly said: If this good body continues like this, I'm afraid I'm going to get sick.

After Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su left, Miss Su's cousin came to visit again, and they exchanged some polite words.

Miss Biao said: "Miss Lin, you should rest easy and recuperate. Did you drink the fried medicine yesterday? Did the maid give you medicine with pickled plums? The medicine is bitter. After drinking, eat a pickled plum. It’s much better here. After you recover from illness, I’ll take you to Suzhou City for a stroll. Women’s houses in Suzhou City have the most things, and they’re all the best. People in the capital often come here to shop. Silk is like this, it is very famous, there are several semicolons in the capital, you are well, I will take you to the Su family headquarters in the city to pick some good silk and satin, and make some good clothes."

While speaking, his eyes quickly glanced at Lin Xiaoning's beige cotton padded clothes, his expression was slightly disdainful, and then he said with concern: "Miss Lin is from Tao Village, Qingshui County. Rugged, brutal, so scary, Ms. Lin is too wronged to stay in Taocun, why don't she move to the city... Didn't Ms. Lin set up a shop in Suzhou City? Do you want to move to Suzhou? Of course, Suzhou City is better than Taocun. I heard Brother Su say that Qingshui County is also very poor. There are not many rich households. The shops are also small and there are not all things... Oh, you said my aunt What do you think, why don't you take any action, let Brother Su go to Suzhou City to be an official, and go to a poor place like Qingshui County to be an official, what a hardship..."

Lin Xiaoning was tired, really tired, and moaned softly: "Miss Biao, I will not move to Suzhou City, Taocun is very nice, I like Taocun, thank you Miss Biao for coming to see me, Meizi, I have a terrible headache , give me a click."

Miss Biao was stunned for a moment, she understood Lin Xiaoning's meaning of chasing the guest, she got up to leave, the maid informed again that someone was visiting, it was Aunt Zhao and her second daughter.Miss Biao stopped her, and Miss Biao said sharply: "Things who don't wink, didn't you see that Miss Lin is not feeling well? She has to rest and can't see guests. Let them send them all back."

After finishing speaking, he didn't leave again, sitting beside Lin Xiaoning's bed and said earnestly: "Oh, these concubines and aunts are all half-slaves, they are disturbing the peace and quiet in the backyard all day long, now they have grown hands. , I even wanted to come to Miss Lin's courtyard, Miss Lin, don't worry, I will tell my aunt when I turn around, and let her punish her, these people actually want to visit you, and they don't even look at their own identity..."

At this time, I heard a female voice outside the house shouting: "Ms. Lin did not let us visit the sick, or Miss Biao didn't let us visit the sick. We came to visit the sick, but we informed the master. What's the matter? Miss Biao said we stretched our hands." The length of Miss Biao’s hand is longer than ours. Even if my aunt is half a slave, she is still from the Su family. How about me, the two young ladies of the Su family? The master is not. If we don’t look at our own identities, then what is your cousin’s identity? What kind of Miss Master is she? But my Su family? But it’s quite lenient, and it’s all about the backyard of the Su family, Su Madame, Mrs. Su didn’t say that we are half slaves, but your cousin said so. I don’t understand today. I want to ask for a reason. Miss Biao will come with us to Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su’s place Go talk about it. If Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su says that we are all half slaves and it is wrong to come to visit the sick, then we will leave without saying a word."

After hearing this, Miss Biao turned extremely ugly, turned around and left the house.

Lin Xiaoning heard the quarrels coming from the courtyard, and heard a slap in the face, and wailed in despair, Meizi immediately screamed: "Miss, what's wrong with you."

When Miss Biao heard Lin Xiaoning's wail and Meizi's scream, she rushed into the room immediately, and Aunt Zhao and others rushed in not to be outdone.Miss Biao rushed to the bed, saw Lin Xiaoning's painful expression, and said anxiously: "Come on, come on, Miss Lin, what's wrong with you, where does it hurt, is it a stomachache, or a headache?" The maid who came here shouted loudly: "Hurry up and find the doctor, what are you doing here like a wooden stick, everyone is stupid, you are just serving Miss Lin like this, don't hurry up!"

The two maids ran away immediately...

A group of women and girls standing in Lin Xiaoning's room were chattering: But stomachache?Is it menstruation?Headache?Was it the wind?Where does it still hurt?
Miss Biao's maid brought a basin to fetch hot water, and the other hurriedly went to look for Mrs. Su. For a while, the small courtyard where Lin Xiaoning was temporarily staying was turned upside down...

 Thanks to all those who are still reading my book, I have kept you waiting for a long time, and I sincerely thank you!
