Chapter 155 Aunt's Last Words
Chunying hurried to the second gate to find someone, but found that the old woman she was familiar with had disappeared, and a servant who was a little dumbfounded replaced her and stopped her from going out.She repeatedly said that she would send someone to ask a doctor to treat the aunt's illness, but he just kept saying, "It's only when the wife has sent a message. I can only let you go out after the wife has sent a message."

Chunying jumped up anxiously: "I won't go out, call someone for me! Otherwise, pass the message for me!"

"No, I want my wife to speak!" The servant shook his head and said, "My wife said that it is not allowed to pass things outside privately, and people outside are not allowed to pass things in privately. When speaking and passing things, the wife must nod, otherwise it will be rude. !" He whispered again: "My wife was spanked early this morning, I don't want to be spanked!"

Chunying secretly gritted her teeth.Could it be that the Huo family's purchase of medicinal materials and supplements through Nanqi offended his wife?But blocking people at this juncture is too irritating.This is a matter of life and death!So she put on a cold face and said: "You have to make it clear that my aunt is ill now, and I am in a hurry to ask the doctor to come to see me. Everyone will see me running over. If there is a delay, my aunt has something to do. I only put the responsibility on you, can you bear it?!"

The servant seemed a little hesitant, but he was still stunned.Chunying caught a glimpse of the eldest young master and the third young master coming from the direction of the gate, and ignored the servants, so she just pushed him away and ran over, and reported directly: "The aunt suddenly fell ill, please ask the young masters to ask for a doctor." Come and see!"

Both the Eldest Young Master and the Third Young Master changed their faces, and the former asked anxiously, "How could this be? Didn't you say that Auntie's condition has improved?!"

Chunying replied: "No one knows what's going on. Aunt Hua and Miss Er came to visit, and after they said a few words, the aunt suddenly passed out, feeling cold all over, Miss Biao and Aunt Qing panicked. group."

The Eldest Young Master hurriedly said to the Third Young Master: "I'll go and find the usual doctor at home, this place is too far away from the imperial hospital, I'm afraid it will be too late to go back and forth, third brother, let's go to Prince Jing's Mansion, I remember that there is an imperial physician stationed there all year round. "

The third young master nodded, and the two immediately turned around and ran out quickly. Chunying turned around and saw that the servant was still in a daze, and said, "How can you come out? Girls can't go out of the second door!" She Knowing that this is a jerk, I didn't tell him any more, and went back to the Wanxiang Pavilion.

Arriving at the Wanxiang Hall, Chunying was about to enter the room to answer Miss Biao, but saw the second lady with an anxious expression on her face, with two tear marks on her face, crying and scolding Aunt Hua outside: "...I told you not to come here. , you desperately wanted to follow, but you made such a fuss, if something bad happens to my aunt, how do you tell me to meet people?!"

Aunt Hua lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I don't know... I really didn't say anything, just a few gossips..." Her eyes glanced inward anxiously, her hands almost twisted the handkerchief into twists.

Aunt Qing's voice suddenly came from inside: "Madam, Madam is awake!" Immediately attracting the attention of everyone outside, Chunying hurried inside to report: "Miss Cousin, Auntie, the Eldest Young Master has invited a doctor, and the Third Young Master also Go to Prince Jing's mansion and invite the imperial physician there."

Only Aunt Qing nodded to her to show that she heard it. Huo Yi's full attention was on her mother, and when she saw her wake up, she couldn't help crying: "Mother, mother, you scared the child!"

Li Shi was in a half-darkness, gently raised her hand to caress her daughter's head, and glanced at Aunt Qing. The latter hurriedly put his ear to her mouth, listened to her whisper, and went out: "There is more here." Taking care of the sick, please forgive the rudeness of the servants, Second Miss and Aunt Hua should go back first."

The second lady hurriedly asked: "How is Auntie? Does it matter?"

Aunt Qing lowered her eyes: "We won't know until the doctor diagnoses it."

Aunt Hua twisted her handkerchief, a little uneasy: "Then I will talk to Second Miss later..." But her daughter interrupted: "Then let's go back first, if there is any news, Auntie must ask someone to report to me My son." Aunt Hua was about to interrupt, but she told her daughter to tease her secretly, so she had to shut up and leave with her.

Aunt Qing called Chunying and Shi'er again: "Go to the door and wait, please come in immediately when the doctor comes." Chunying and Shi'er went as promised, and when she turned back to the room, she saw Huo Yi's eyes were red He quickly took out an old ebony box from the large cabinet, was surprised, and quickly lowered his head to guard the door.

Huo Yi held the box in front of her mother, and the latter cried out "Open..." with difficulty, she hurriedly did so, and saw a jade seal and a letter inside the box, she couldn't help being stunned - this seal she had once I've seen it many times with my dad.

Mrs. Li took a breath for a while, then whispered: "This... is the... seal of the fleet, and it is used together with the steward... Only the people in the fleet will admit that this one is engraved with 'Jinghai', and the other one is 'Zhiyuan' is the name of the first two treasure ships of the Huo family... When the mother is gone, the palace...the empress will definitely send someone to express her condolences...you call all the things in this box, including the seal and the letter... People take it back..."

Huo Yi was sad and surprised at the same time: "Mother, what are you doing?! This... this is our family's fleet!"

"In the beginning... it was the concubine Xianfei in the palace who contributed... At the beginning, Emperor Taizong wanted to start Nanyang trade, and all the officials in the court opposed it, so it was in the name of the internal treasury... The courageous people were willing to participate in the shares, and they got a lot of money afterwards. Our family The fleet... half of the annual income goes into the internal treasury... the rest is enough for our Huo family to squander for a few lifetimes... there are countless people who are jealous, your two siblings...you are still young, you Uncle is useless, Brother Jing... I don't know what I want to hide from my family, I really can't believe it... Although the fleet is good, keeping it is a disaster... It's better to hand it back... Let others grab it..."

Huo Yi understood her mother's worry, and couldn't help crying out: "It's useless to be a daughter... If the daughter is a man, why should the mother worry about it? The inheritance left by the ancestors will not be lost!"

Panting, Mrs. Li held her daughter's hand gently, and said softly: "I don't blame you, it's your father and mother's fault. I didn't know that I had planned ahead, but it hurt my son. At a young age, I will She worked hard and took care of the housework... Mother only cared about getting together with her relatives, but she failed to understand you, mother really neglected her duty..."

Huo Yi shook his head violently, tears kept falling like broken pearls.

Mrs. Li panted heavily, and continued reluctantly: "Brother Rong is too young...you are just a child...send him home...don't tell him to separate his flesh and blood, and blame us in the future..."

Huo Yi nodded and cried, Aunt Qing at the door couldn't help but choked up, she bit her handkerchief and rushed to the door, shouting: "The doctor hasn't come yet?!"

Chunying was waiting impatiently, so she could only answer: "It should be here soon." Shi'er suddenly shouted: "The old lady and the lady are here!"

When Mrs. Li heard it in the room, she asked her daughter the last few words: "Be more filial to your grandmother and uncle... You will have to rely on them in the future... Brother You is very good, but if you really don't like it, mother I don't force you... It's just a marriage of the Gu family, it may not be possible... You don't have to force it too much... Mother just asks that your life will be safe and smooth..."

The old lady rushed in tremblingly, and yelled heartily: "My son! What's the matter?!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li burst into tears: "Mother..." Huo Yi had already collapsed on the bedside crying.

Chunying felt sad when she heard it in the outside room, and she accidentally turned her head and heard his wife An Shi telling Shao Yao: "Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet? The servants in the outer courtyard are getting worse and worse, send someone to invite them!" The servant who changed hurriedly bowed his head and quietly returned to the gate of the courtyard.

An Shi went into the inner room, saw Li Shi's face was pale, it was about to die, she cried a few times, she gave Huo Yi a hand, and said softly, "You child, why are you so confused? Look at your mother's appearance." , what should be prepared should also be prepared, maybe it will be enough to rush, how can we not let her just like this..."

When Mrs. Li saw Aunt Hua, she was wearing homely clothes, which was not impolite, but she had been ill at home for a long time, and her hair and makeup were casual.Huo Yi gritted her teeth and had to discuss with Aunt Qing. The latter cried and went to look for Li Shi's decent clothes. I can't help it, I need Ju'er to hold her by the arm.

At this time, Mrs. Li held the old lady out of breath, and begged with tears: "Mother, my daughter only has this little flesh and blood... please take care of me..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?! You will be fine!" The old lady was heartbroken, "Who made you sick?! Who is it?! I will never spare her!"

An Shi stood at the back, choked up and interjected: "I heard that it was Aunt Hua who said something bad in front of my sister just now? My sister really doesn't need to take those bastard words to heart..."

"What?!" The old lady was furious immediately, "Quickly ask someone to arrest that lowly maidservant!"

"Mother..." Mrs. Li grabbed her by the sleeve with all her strength, "Don't disturb the house because of your daughter..." She took a few breaths and felt that her breathing was smoother before continuing: "I beg mother...to take care of Gu Yi'er..."

An Shi hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, we have agreed, sister-in-law will definitely treat Yi'er as her own daughter in the future, and she will not be wronged."

Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head lightly: "Brother You is very good...but Yi'er is too stubborn...the two may not be a good match...Sister-in-law Fan was also very good back then...my brother didn't like it, he only wanted Thinking of Dong Mengyao..."

As soon as she said this, both the old lady and An's expressions were a little unnatural, and the latter's face turned black, and he turned around and scolded Shao Yao: "Hurry up and rush to the front, what time is it, the doctor hasn't come yet? !” Shao Yao hastily responded and went out.

Mrs. Li stared at her mother, and continued: "Originally...Yi'er's father told her about a marriage...that family's surname was Gu...it was also a family of eunuchs in the south of the Yangtze River...just...the Gu family was in office at that time, It's too late to make a formal ceremony..."

The old lady seemed to understand a little bit, and said with tears: "Don't worry, I will find a good home for Yi'er. If she is willing to enter the Li family, it will be the best, otherwise... I won't call her home whether it is the Gu family or another family." The child is wronged..."

Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned back: "Thank you, mother... My daughter has a kind request... let me go back to the Huo family... I am... the Huo family..."

When Chunying finally waited until the young master was sweating profusely and brought the doctor to arrive, there was a loud cry from the room, which shocked everyone in the courtyard into a daze.The young master didn't care about the rules, he pulled the doctor up and rushed into the house.

After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he just shook his head, asking the Hou Mansion to invite someone else.The old lady was so sad that she wanted to hit someone. At this time, the third young master also brought the imperial doctor.The imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment also had the same result, but the injection of needles extended the time of a stick of incense for the patient.

When Lord Hou got the news and hurried over, Huo Yi had just covered her mother's face with a supra before passing out.Everyone moved her back to her room in a hurry, and buried Li for her.The old lady cried so hard that she was finally persuaded by An's, and she calmed down a little. Looking at the people in the room, she said in a choked voice: "From now on, Miss Biao will be the lady of our family and a serious master. I'll change my words! From now on, you will be your young lady's people, and all supplies here will follow the old lady's rules. If anyone dares to neglect, my wife will be the first to spare him! Do you understand?!"

Everyone knelt down and responded.While wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Chunying thought: Is this a change of master?So... who owns her ownership?
