Blessed

Chapter 8

Yuzhu'er opened her mouth slightly and looked at all this in surprise, she didn't expect the situation to develop in this direction, she is not a stingy person, it's not that she doesn't want to give the third sister a hairpin or two, only the eldest sister gave it to her Yes, the eldest sister's attitude just now showed everything, and she didn't want to give anything to the third sister.And she is not stupid, she can see that the third sister doesn't like her, so she is even more unwilling to give it to her.

Unexpectedly, the third sister suddenly burst into tears, suddenly said that she hated them, suddenly ran away, and suddenly fell down, everything happened so quickly that she had no time to be surprised.

Zao'er had already gone back to her room to pick up the post to invite the doctor. On the stone table was the double-layered pear wood painted box with the food box. Xie Che's expression was much gentler at the moment. The calming soup came out, "Jiaojiao, drink the soothing soup."

Yulan was still crying at the bottom of the steps, and the second girl, Yuxiang, was also a ten-year-old girl, standing by the side at a loss, hesitating whether to go back to the courtyard to find her mother.

Yuning calmed down a lot, and told Yuxiang, "Go back to the courtyard and call your mother over." There must be someone in charge, and Yulan Yuxiang is the second wife, so she can only call her aunt over.

Yuxiang got the letter of approval, and ran to Tao Shi with the corner of her skirt.

In the gazebo, Xie Che was feeding Yuzhu'er the calming soup, it was a bit bitter, and she frowned as she drank it, and Yuzhu felt the bitterness in her mouth after she finished it with difficulty.There was also a small plate of candied fruit in the food box, Xie Che twisted a sip and fed it into her mouth, "Eat a candied fruit to suppress the bitterness, there is still sugar water in the small kitchen in the courtyard, I will let the licorice warm it up for you to drink when I go back later." of."

While talking, Xie Che took advantage of the opportunity to put the medicine bowl back into the food box, tidied it up and covered it, carried the pear wood box, and carried Yuzhu'er in his arms, got up and went down the steps to Yuning, "Sister, I'll go back with Jiaojiao first, There's nothing wrong with her here, lest she will be frightened when she sees blood on her face later."

Yuning nodded, "What you said is, take Jiaojiao back first, and when Lang Zhong comes, let Lang Zhong also go over to show Jiao Jiao, lest she might be shocked just now."

Xie Che nodded slowly, and walked past the howling Yulan lying on the ground with Jiao Jiao in his arms, without giving Yulan a look.Yuzhu'er lay on Xie Che's shoulder and looked at the blood-stained Yulan, thinking about where she had been bumped, so she shouldn't be disfigured.

Gradually walk through the verandah, the gate of the courtyard, and return to my own Fuyun courtyard through the overgrown garden.

Back in the wing room where Yuzhu'er lived, Xie Che put the box on the dressing table, asked Licorice to bring in hot water, wrung out the handkerchief to wipe Yuzhu'er's face and hands, and said to Licorice, "Go and bring the sugar water from the small kitchen to me." Jiao Jiaowen came over with a bowl, just now Jiaojiao drank the Anshen Decoction, and her mouth felt a little bitter."

Licorice didn't dare to ask any more questions, she went out with a copper basin and poured water, and brought a bowl of hot sugar water over. Yu Zhuer gulped down the sugar water, and the bitter taste in her mouth was finally gone.

It was Shen time, and there was still some time before dinner, Yu Zhu'er had slept for an hour and a half at noon, so there was no room for sleep.There are not many things that can be entertained in this era, and she is still a three-year-old child. She wants to find a book to understand this era, but she is afraid that it will be shocking to be found that she can read and read. Looking at Xie Che, he looked quite at a loss.

Xie Che just laughed, "Jiao Jiao is bored? Why don't you find a book to teach Jiao Jiao how to read?"

Yu Zhuer nodded, this is also very good, first learn the characters and read the book, so as not to read the book without learning the characters, and be regarded as a monster.

Xie Che found a three-character scripture and taught it from the basics first. Xie Che read a sentence, and Yu Zhuer followed suit. She stumbled a little, not because she didn't know the words, but because she hadn't spoken for a long time, and she was a little rusty.

She learned it very quickly, and after reading it with Xie Che a few times, she memorized it. Xie Che was a little surprised, touched Yuzhu'er's soft and smooth hair, and praised, "Jiao Jiao is really smart."

After studying for half an hour, Yuzhu'er memorized a lot, Xie Che was a little shocked.Naturally, Yuzhu'er couldn't say that she knew all these things.

Xie Che was also afraid that she would be tired, so he said, "We can do what we have learned today. If Yu Zhuer likes it, we can continue tomorrow?"

Yuzhu'er nodded, and Licorice announced outside, "Fourth Miss, the eldest lady has brought the doctor over."

"Come in quickly." Xie Che went to welcome him in.

Jiang Yuning came in and said, "Is Jiao Jiao okay?" Then she turned to the doctor behind her and said, "Doctor Chen, please help my fourth sister to take a look, she was just a little frightened."

This Dr. Chen came over and sat down to take Yuzhu'er's pulse. After a while, he stood up and replied to Yuning, "don't worry, Miss Si. The pulse is very stable. If Miss is worried, I will prescribe a few pills to soothe the nerves." The prescription of tranquilizing energy is decocted for Siguniang."

Yuzhu'er didn't want to take medicine, so she waved her hands hastily, and looked at Jiang Yuning eagerly, "Big sister, I don't take medicine."

Seeing her like this, Yuning knew that it was all right, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile to Dr. Chen, "Since Jiao Jiao is well, then that's all, Zao'er, send Dr. Chen out of the house."

Zao'er sent Dr. Chen out, and Yuning stayed with Yuzhu for a while.Yuzhu asked, "Big Sister, how is Third Sister?"

Yuning hugged Yuzhu'er and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Jiaojiao, your third sister is fine, except that her nose was crooked, but it has been corrected by the doctor, and the bleeding has stopped, there is no big problem." The swelling is terrible, and it is estimated that it will take several days to subside.

Yuzhu'er breathed a sigh of relief, as long as her face was not disfigured, no matter what era, the destruction of a woman's appearance is enough to shock her for the rest of her life.

After talking for a while, Yuning also wanted to go back. She had just left the Mu clan and came back with two maidservants. Xie Che recounted what happened in the afternoon. Nothing to say.

Yu Zhu'er was still sitting on the round stool, seeing that Mu's expression was not good, she reached out to her, "Mother, I want to hug her."

Hearing her daughter's immature words, Mrs. Mu couldn't be angry, she immediately smiled, walked over and picked Yu Zhu'er up from the round stool, "What did my mother's Jiao Jiaoer do today?"

Xie Che added, "I've just read the Three Character Classic for a while, and Jiao Jiao is very smart and remembers a lot."

Mrs. Mu was surprised, relieved and moved in her heart, her eyes were a little sour, and she heard Yuzhu'er's soft voice asking her, "What did mother do?"

Mrs. Mu stroked Fu Yuzhu'er's hair, and said with a smile, "Mother went out to buy a shop and wanted to start a small business, but she happened to find it. When Mama Lu and the others return to Beijing, they will be able to buy the shop."

The shop she chose asked for a price of 450 taels, and the shopkeeper refused to lose a penny. The location is really good, but the cloth business that the shopkeeper does seems to be not very good, so she thought about selling the shop and going back to her hometown.When the Mu family returned to Beijing, they brought just over 400 taels of silver, and gave Jiang Ansu 200 taels to go to the peak. When they went to Guangji Temple, they gave 100 taels of sesame oil money, and the rest was just over 100 taels.The remaining real estate and shops in Shao'an City are reserved for Mother Lu to sell before returning to Beijing. It is estimated that adding her current silver taels is just enough to buy that shop, and Mother Lu should return to Beijing soon.

Mrs. Mu felt distressed thinking that the shop would cost 450 taels of silver. All kinds of prices in the capital city were much more expensive than those in Shao'an city, and this shop was twice as expensive.But having said that, even if you can't do business if you buy the shop, you can rent it out, and you won't lose money no matter what.

Yu Zhu'er wanted to ask Mu's family what kind of small business they planned to do, but she was afraid of asking too many questions, and she looked too abnormal, so she held back and didn't ask.

Later in the day, the second wife's wife came over to visit Yuzhu'er, she helped the concubine make an apology, and sent two pigeons to make up for Yuzhu'er.Tao Shi said, "Yulan is naughty and almost scared Yuzhu. I am a concubine. I did not raise her properly. I came here to see Yuzhu. Is Yuzhu okay?" The woman spoke too harshly.

Mrs. Mu said, "Please trouble the second sister-in-law to come here specially, Jiao Jiaoer is fine."

Tao breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as Yuzhu is fine, I specially found a pair of pigeons to raise Yuzhu's body."

In this season, pigeons are a bit hard to find. Originally, Dow found this pair of pigeons and planned to make soup for brother Heng. Just brought the pigeons over.

Mrs. Mu didn't know this reason, and hurriedly said, "There's no need for the squab. It's very nourishing to save the stew for Brother Heng. Brother Heng is about to take the imperial examination. At this time, you need to eat something nourishing." yes."

Tao said with a smile, "I'll look for another pair tomorrow. The third sibling sent some fruits and dry goods to the courtyard a few days ago, so I sent a pair of squabs over here. Don't be disgusted by the siblings."

It would be a bit ugly to refuse again, Mu took it and thanked her, Tao said a few words and left.

The second room lives in Luomei Courtyard, which is named after more than a dozen plum trees planted in the courtyard. Decades ago, when Lao Yongyi was still waiting, the plum trees in Luomei Courtyard were pruned and flourished. In early spring, a courtyard The plum blossoms are in full bloom, and that is a good-looking one.Now that the Bofu is in a state of desolation, these plum trees are ignored, not to mention a few of them died, and the rest are so sparse every year when they bloom, the beauty of Luomeiyuan has long since disappeared.

Uncle Yong Yi got married to the old lady after he took charge of the family. The old lady gave birth to two sons.

The old lady also gave birth to a daughter, who was also very doted on back then. She was several years younger than Jiang Ansu, but she was already married, and it was some distance away from Shangjing, so she only came back during the holidays.

Jiang Ansu's aunt was originally the concubine of the old lady Yongyi Bernard when she was pregnant with the second master Jiang. She was a decent child of a good family, but her fate was not good, and Jiang Ansu had a difficult delivery when she was born.
