Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 65

Yan Zhaohua watched the medicine in the bowl being swallowed by Gu Shi, took out the handkerchief and tucked the corner of Gu Shi's mouth, and said:
"I didn't realize that Aunt Jiang still has this ability."

Mrs. Gu handed the empty bowl to the waiting mother, took Yan Zhaohua's handkerchief, tucked her lips, and said, "That's not true. Aunt Jiang's family was originally from a medical clinic, and she got into a lawsuit because of the medical clinic. Her father and mother just sold her to the Duke's mansion to be a servant girl, and then she followed your uncle. Although she dotes on Sister Yue very much, she is actually just afraid that Sister Yue will be disadvantaged, and she is even more respectful to me Respect, I have never had two hearts."

Yan Zhaohua knew a little bit about Jiang's origin, thinking that even if someone wanted to harm Gu, it would not be Jiang, because Jiang had no reason to harm Gu, Xie Xinyue had grown up, and she was a girl. It's all in the hands of Mrs. Gu. If Mrs. Jiang is obedient, Mrs. Gu is not that kind of ruthless person, and she will not treat Xie Xinyue badly in the future, but if Mrs. Gu is harmed, and a powerful mistress comes over, she and Xie Xinyue will be treated badly. It won't do any good.

After Gu Shi drank the medicine, he wanted to rinse his mouth and wash his face, so he asked the maid to take Yan Zhaohua around the yard. In the yard, come in after Mrs. Gu has finished washing.

Gu is fond of flowers and plants, and there are many exotic flowers and plants planted in the yard. Yan Zhaohua admired them one by one, and was attracted by the two rows of potted plants with green leaves and red fruits outside the window of Gu's bedroom, and walked over to look at them with great interest. After a few glances, the servant girl who followed her stepped forward and explained: "This is acacia beans. Madam thought they were beautiful, so she ordered someone to put a few more pots here. .”

Yan Zhaohua doesn't know flowers, but he has seen acacia beans, which seem to be a little different from the Central Plains varieties, so he asked the little maid: "The acacia beans I saw before were all pure red, why are they so red?" There is a black cap on the top of this bean? It is unique."

The little maid seemed to also take care of the flowers and plants, and she explained it logically. After Yan Zhaohua asked, she replied:
"Oh, Miss Biao has good eyesight. This is a variety from the Western Regions. It is different from the Central Plains region. It is like the Camellia, which can produce mixed colors. The same is true for this Acacia Bean. There are a few more differences. The color looks very fresh. So when Madam saw it in Aunt Li's yard, she asked Aunt Li for several pots immediately."

Yan Zhaohua didn't study these things, but Gu Shi likes Acacia Beans, so it can be seen that she is a woman with rich emotions and a back room. In fact, the saddest thing is that she has rich emotions, because most of these women can't accept that their husbands have three wives by their side. Four concubines, although Xie Yuan's concubines are not many, but there are quite a few, although Gu's appearance is cheerful and docile, but the real heart is probably not happy.

Seeing Yan Zhaohua staring at these acacia beans for a long time, the little maid thought she liked them, so she unfolded the white veil in her hand, picked more than a dozen red beans and put them into the veil, and said to Yan Zhaohua:

"After drying this thing, make a pouch with jasmine flowers. The meaning and fragrance are very good. Please keep it, Miss Biao."

Yan Zhaohua didn't expect the little girl to think so much, before she had time to stop, she had already picked it up and stuffed it into Yan Zhaohua's hands, Yan Zhaohua looked down, and wrapped the veil without any excuse. Yes, put it in the sleeve pocket.

After Mrs. Gu rinsed her mouth and washed her face, she sent someone to invite Yan Zhaohua in again. After Yan Zhaohua entered again, while talking with Mrs. Gu, she looked over all the furnishings in Mrs. Gu's room, and He didn't find anything strange, and after telling Mrs. Gu to be careful, he bowed out and left.

Back in Ting Yuxuan, I saw Yan Zhaoning waiting for her in the yard, saw her come in, went forward to greet her, and said to Yan Zhaohua:

"Sister went to see my aunt? Is she better? I served her to worship Buddha at my grandmother's place before, so I couldn't go there with my sister. I really shouldn't."

In this case, if Yan Zhaoning used to say it, she would definitely not have said it so euphemistically. In fact, the meaning of what she said was that she blamed Yan Zhaohua for going to see Gu's by herself, and didn't mean to ask her to come with her. However, she To put it another way, it sounds less harsh than it used to be.

Yan Zhaohua smiled and said, "Auntie is fine and is about to rest. If we all go, it will be too disturbing. You have to be careful and go tomorrow."

"Okay." Yan Zhaoning said docilely. These days, Yan Zhaoning has been very submissive to Yan Zhaohua. He no longer has the self-willedness of the past. From time to time, he would come to talk to Yan Zhaohua, and what he said was something. For the trivial matters in life, Yan Zhaohua can deal with them every time she sees them.

Yan Zhaoning followed Yan Zhaohua into the room on the second floor. Ranxiang and Qingzhu had already brought clothes for Yan Zhaohua at home. Yan Zhaohua hung his coat on the screen. Ranxiang said a word, then walked into the screen with home clothes, Ranxiang took out the things in Yan Zhaohua's sleeve pocket, Yan Zhaoning was curious, and asked Yan Zhaohua behind the screen: "Sister , What are you hiding in your sleeve pocket!"

Yan Zhaohua changed his clothes, walked out while tying his belt, and said, "The little maid who picks the acacia beans in my aunt's yard saw that I like them, so she picked a few and gave them to me, saying that they were dried and poured with jasmine flowers." Put it in the sachet, it means very good."

Yan Zhaoning took the handkerchief from Ranxiang's hand, opened the handkerchief to look, and sure enough, he saw a small handful of acacia beans, and said to Yan Zhaohua:

"The little maids in my aunt's yard know how to please my eldest sister. When I went to them, they never picked these flowers for me."

Hearing what she said, Yan Zhaohua smiled purely, and said, "If you like it, I'll give it to you. It's not a rare thing, and it's worth your jealousy."

Yan Zhaoning's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he didn't know if he deliberately made it for Yan Zhaohua to see, or he really liked these little red fruits, so he said to Yan Zhaohua, "It's better to be a big sister, then I'm not welcome , I will make two sachets later, one for the elder sister and one for me."

Yan Zhaohua didn't take her words to heart, nodded, and said, "Sure, then I'll be waiting for your sachet."

The two chatted in the room for a while, Yan Zhaoning was about to leave, Yan Zhaohua knew that Aunt Gong was training Yan Zhaoning to dance recently, she said that dancing can improve a girl's temperament, Yan Zhaoning is not bad Obedient, walking seems to be a lot lighter these days.

The next day, Yan Zhaohua went to visit Mrs. Gu again, and saw that she was still lying on the soft couch, and Aunt Jiang was serving her to drink the medicine. After saluting, Hua retreated with an empty medicine bowl.

Just in time for Webster to pay her respects, this is a girl about [-] years old, she is just about to bloom, she is beautiful and lovely, when saluting to Gu Shi, Yan Zhaohua can see her tightly clenched hands, as if very nervous.

Mrs. Gu asked her to invite Ann as usual, and after a few words, Mrs. Wei left.Yan Zhaohua raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Gu, only to see Mrs. Gu staring at the back of Mrs. Webster's leaving, his eyes were a little deep. Yan Zhaohua could understand that gaze. Looking at Mrs. Gu's expression, it seems that Mrs. Webster's should be her uncle Xie Yuan's new favorite.

"Aunt Wei looks good, but I think she's a terrible aunt."

Yan Zhaohua's words made Gu Shi sneer, and said: "She is afraid of me? She is at the moment when she is proud, your uncle dotes on her like something, wants the stars for the stars, wants the moon for the moon, she is really a treasure." .”

The sourness in Gu's words made Yan Zhaohua feel a little uncomfortable, and he comforted him: "Auntie is here for entertainment, even if I bought a new snuff bottle, wouldn't uncle have to play with it for a few days? Auntie is really talking about something. I'm so angry, I don't care about my little nephew anymore, oh, I really feel sorry for my little nephew."

Yan Zhaohua's words were understated and vivid, and he actually wanted to put his head on Gu Shi's stomach. Gu Shi suppressed a smile, poked Yan Zhaohua's forehead with his fingers, and spat softly. Yan Zhaohua, seeing Webster's anger before, finally got a little better, Gu grabbed Yan Zhaohua's hand and said:

"You are still young, I shouldn't have said this to you, but my aunt still wants to tell you that no man in this world is a good thing, and your uncle is good to me, but you have also seen , He is not willing to lose people in his room, I still have one in my belly, and he has a newcomer in his place. Women are really miserable."

Mrs. Gu seemed to be emotionally touched, and the atmosphere in the hall was a bit awkward. Mrs. Gu noticed it, and said again: "Hey, look at me, why are you talking about this to a little girl like you, don't take it to heart."

Yan Zhaohua smiled and said:

"What my aunt said is so reasonable, I will remember it. From now on, I will definitely not trust any man. Be an old girl and stay with my grandmother and aunt to serve you all my life."

Mrs. Gu couldn't laugh or cry when Yan Zhaohua said these words, and waved her hands again and again: "Come on, I'm afraid of you, don't let the old lady hear these words, otherwise, the old lady won't blame me Bring you down!"

After talking and joking with Yan Zhaohua like this, Gu Shi seemed to be in a better mood, so she asked her servant girl to help her down the ground and took two steps, but she was still a little dizzy, so she didn't try to be brave, returned to the soft couch, and continued to lie down.

Yan Zhaohua really felt that Gu Shi's body was reacting strangely, but after asking some doctor's orders, he didn't find anything wrong there. What's more, the only ones who diagnosed Gu Shi's pulse were the imperial physicians in the palace, and there was no one who diagnosed the wrong pulse. It's always strange that the problem of dizziness doesn't go away, especially Yan Zhaohua knows that even if the child in her womb is born in the future, it won't be a good one.

Gu Shi was dizzy and wanted to sleep for a while, Yan Zhaohua stopped bothering her, walked out of the room thoughtfully, and glanced at Acacia Bean in the corridor next to her, feeling even more sympathetic to Gu Shi, lovesickness, lovesickness, she is full of love There is nowhere to tell her tenderness, and she is full of affection and no one knows. If a backyard woman is emotional, then she has already lost more than half.If Mrs. Gu didn't care about Xie Yuan that much, maybe she wouldn't feel so bitter in her heart. It must be uncomfortable to see her beloved husband embrace one woman after another, although Yan Zhaohua has never experienced that kind of pain. It's hard, but it's true that I have suffered a lot from having too many women in the backyard. However, compared with her experience in the previous life, Gu's is already much better. At least Xie Yuan still loves her very much, and the concubine dare not rash.

Yan Zhaohua wanted to go directly to Qingcang Courtyard from here. He didn't need to go through the Chuihua Gate. He only needed to pass through this corridor and turn a corner to reach Qingcang Courtyard. The flower maid on the corridor changed. , Put down the kettle and salute Yan Zhaohua.

Yan Zhaohua raised his hand to get her up, and asked casually, "Why isn't Yan'er here?"

The servant girl replied: "Miss Hui Biao, Yan'er's hands have been violated, and this maidservant will come and replace her for two days."

Yan Zhaohua was just asking casually, but after getting the answer, he didn't pay much attention to it. He passed the corridor and turned the corner to Qingcang Courtyard.
