Yutai Bi

Chapter 57 Arrangement
The sound got closer and closer, and suddenly turned around the screen wall.

Two young servants from Cen's mansion held lanterns in front of them.That person appeared in front of Cen Sanniang.Wearing a soap-colored chiffon gown, his figure almost blended into the night, making his eyes shine like glass.

Cen Liuniang's sluggish spirit was lifted, and she watched the man Shi Shiran leave the house curiously.

Master Cen San was half a step behind the man, smiling all over his face, and his tall body naturally bowed down.It is not difficult for anyone to guess that he is flattering that person.

Cen Sanniang heard her own heartbeat.Everything in front of me is like a dream, the picture is broken and fragmented, and the figures move in a trance.Even Zhiqiu's voice beside him seemed to float from a very far away place: "What's wrong with you, San Niangzi..."

Her legs went limp and she slid down.

"Come here! The third lady is dizzy!" Zhiqiu supported her vigorously, and the two maids ran over with their soft pockets and helped her up.

"My lord, this is my niece Sanniang and Liuniang, the little girl is weak..."

Master Cen San's words gradually drifted away, Cen Sanniang refused to close his eyes, and stared at that man.

His gaze passed Liu Niang and landed on San Niang.There was a look of satisfaction in his deep eyes, and he smiled gracefully: "It's hot when the river wind blows, and the wind poison is the easiest to soak into the body. The Dudu's Mansion is preparing the right pills, and I will send someone to send them later. Cen can join the army and stay."

Cen Sanniang's chest was filled with all kinds of emotions, her mind was in chaos and she passed out.

After a night's rest, Mrs. Xu and Baicao had regained their spirits and got up to wait on them.But Cen Sanniang was still asleep, showing no signs of waking up.

The third lady hurriedly asked someone to invite the doctor.

After asking about the pulse, the doctor prescribed a prescription. The doctor smiled and said, "The wind-heat enters the body, coupled with weakness and fatigue. Take a few medicines and rest for a while and you will be fine."

Grab the herbs and keep them boiled on the small stove in the corridor.But when the medicine was boiled and brought in, it was found to be useless.

Cen Sanniang clenched her hands tightly and clenched her teeth.In the coma, he kept a tense posture all the time, and refused to open his mouth to drink the medicine no matter what.

The third lady was in a hurry and circled around the room.Illness is a minor illness, and if you can't drink the decoction, it will become a serious illness.The third lady made up her mind: "Pry open her mouth, pour it!"

Zhiqiu helped Cen Sanniang up, and Xu said tearfully, "Sanniang, open your mouth."

Forcibly squeezed Cen Sanniang's cheek, and fed the medicine.

However, the unconscious Cen Sanniang seemed to have forgotten how to swallow.The soup dripped out from the corner of his lips.

Xu groaned, hugged Cen Sanniang and cried loudly: "Third lady, don't scare the nanny..."

The third lady was sitting on the chair beside the bed, only feeling that the room was still hot even though there was an ice basin, which made her flustered.She snatched the round fan from the girl's hand and fanned it vigorously.

After fanning for a while, the third lady stood up and said to Xu's Baicao and Zhiqiu who were guarding the bed: "No matter what, let the third lady drink the medicine. She spits out a bowl and cooks another bowl. How much more?" The young master wants to let her drink some. If the ice tray in the room melts, tell me, and I will ask someone to replace it with a new one."

The three members of the Xu family saluted the third lady with tears in their eyes: "My servant thanked the lady on behalf of the third lady."

The third lady said impatiently: "Okay, okay. Hurry up and wait on your girl. If you need anything, just tell me, I will send any woman or girl in the yard who is disobedient. I have to go and see Liu Niang , I leave it to you here."

The third lady took the people away.

Mrs. Xu helped Cen Sanniang to lean on her body, and said to Zhiqiu, "Feed me the medicine!"

It is still how much to feed.

Baicao burst into tears: "Third lady, you were ill when the master passed away. The servant also boiled medicine for you in the same way, and even brought you a plate of plums. The servant always thought you would wake up. Why don't you wake up now? ?”

Xu felt that her hands were pinched through the thin cold, and she shook Cen Sanniang in surprise: "San Niangzi, San Niangzi, are you awake?"

Those hands pinched her again, but Cen Sanniang was still pale and closed her eyes tightly.

Xu's heart moved, seeing that the medicine bowl in Zhiqiu's hand was empty, he sighed and said, "Baicao, go boil another bowl of medicine!"

Baicao wiped her tears and left.

Mrs. Xu laid Cen Sanniang down, got up and said to Zhiqiu, "Zhiqiu, you've been tired all night too. Go and rest first, here are Baicao and me."

Zhiqiu responded, sighed, and said, "Mom, depending on the situation, the third lady will not recover in a while. Let's take turns to wait on her. Otherwise, we will all be exhausted by then."

Mrs. Xu nodded: "That's fine. Baicao and I will deal with it during the day, and you can go to bed tonight. Let Baicao take care of you tomorrow morning."

Zhiqiu had been serving Cen Sanniang since last night, her eyes were red from the heat, she couldn't take it anymore, so she resigned from Mrs. Xu and went back to her room to rest.

Mrs. Xu sent the two wives left behind by the third lady: "Old sister has worked hard, and the third lady won't wake up for a while. Why don't you go to the tea room to drink tea and have some snacks to rest."

The two women hesitated.

Xu said again: "Two mothers, don't worry, I will call you if there is anything."

The tea room is in the ear room of the east wing, only a few dozen steps away from the main room, so the two women agreed to go.

There was no third person in the room, so Mrs. Xu called Cen Sanniang softly: "Third lady."

Cen Sanniang opened her eyes, with a weak smile on her lips: "Mom, I'm fine. After a night of sleep, I feel much better. I'll be fine if I don't take medicine for a few days."

With tears in her eyes, Xu scolded her: "Why are you frightening people?"

"Listen to me," Cen Sanniang calmly stated her plan, "Mom has set up a female household and is a free citizen. When I recover from illness, I will let you leave the house. Mom runs a tea shop in Hongzhou. "

Mrs. Xu said anxiously: "Zhiqiu is sent by the old lady, how can you do it with only Baicao by your side?"

Cen Sanniang smiled wryly: "Do you know who lives in the Governor's Mansion in Hongzhou? There is a prince! He is the one who gave me some green hairpins. Mom and Baicao didn't see him last night. I saw him coming from the mansion as soon as I got off the carriage. When he came out, the third uncle accompanied him. He knew that Liu Niang and I went to Hongzhou yesterday, and he purposely appeared in front of me. He told me clearly that I didn’t want to go to Chang’an according to his wishes, and he also had a way to get me to throw myself into the trap. At that time, I was so angry that I was so tired and exhausted that I fainted."

Xu's hands and feet were cold, and he became angry: "It turns out that he asked the third master to deceive you."

Cen Sanniang sighed: "That's right, my cousin is very scheming. I'm afraid that now Liuniang thinks I'm here with her."

Xu gritted her teeth and said, "Third Lady asked me to open a tea shop, but for the convenience of passing on information? Planning for the future?"

Cen Sanniang said: "Mom just opens the tea shop. I know you are my nanny, so I will focus on you. This way I will ignore other things and let me find opportunities to escape."

A cluster of flames ignited in her eyes, and she secretly felt fierce in her heart, fight, I am not afraid of you.

Cen Sanniang controlled her illness by herself, and lay on the bed patiently for another seven or eight days, and then Baicao helped her get out of bed.

The sun had not yet risen, and the eastern sky was bright red.

Cen Sanniang sat on the bamboo chair and carefully looked at her apartment.

The yard is not big, there are three main rooms, and two side rooms with side rooms on the left and right.In the courtyard was a tall acacia tree with luxuriant branches, covering half of the courtyard.There is a rockery in the middle, and a shallow fish pond is surrounded below.The back profile connects the main room and the side rooms, and at the end is the moon gate for entry and exit.Several oleanders are planted along the powder wall, and the pink and pure white flowers are in full bloom.

There were footsteps and chatter at the Moon Cave door.Cen Sanniang looked up, and quickly supported Baicao's hand to stand up.The third wife came with her four mothers and six mothers.

"Sit down quickly!" The third lady hurried forward.

Cen Sanniang insisted on saluting her, and then greeted Siniang and Liuniang, and said anxiously: "As soon as Sanniang comes, she will cause trouble for Aunt Santang."

The third lady personally supported her to sit up.The women hurriedly moved some more drum stools, and set up a case for the third wife, fourth wife and sixth wife to sit down.

The third lady looked at Cen Sanniang carefully, and said with emotion: "You are so thin that you have no flesh. Auntie will tell the kitchen to make you stronger than before you got sick."

Cen Sanniang hurriedly got up again to thank her.

The third lady refused to let her go, and said angrily: "When you arrive at my aunt's house, it's like being at your own home. Seeing that today's complexion is better than yesterday, it will be better after a few more days. These days, Si Niang and Liu Niang are learning etiquette I can't go away, I heard that you can get out of bed and walk around, so I specially asked for leave to visit you."

The fourth mother has an oval face and a ruddy complexion. At the age of 15, she already exudes the unique beauty of girls.The blue narrow-sleeved undershirt was tied into the high-waisted long skirt, revealing her collarbone, and her chest was white.

She smiled sweetly: "When you are well, the three of us will have class together. It's so fun."

Liu Niang glanced at San Niang with disdain, and said against her will: "Yeah, get well sooner, you'll be overwhelmed."

Liu Niang and Si Niang live together.Although she is close to Siniang, Cen Sanniang lives alone in the same courtyard.Liuniang thought to herself, if Sanniang hadn't fainted and got sick, she would live in the west wing at most, and the three rooms in the main room should be occupied by herself.Thinking about it this way, I feel more and more wronged.

"Sanniang is here and hasn't strolled around the mansion yet. Taking advantage of the cool weather, it's good to ask the mother-in-law to carry a soft bag and walk around to relax." The third lady gave orders after speaking.

Cen Sanniang also wanted to have a look at the environment of the military mansion, so she readily agreed.

A group of people left the courtyard where Sanniang lived and left the Moon Cave Gate.
