Chapter 17

Qingmei was sleeping soundly, suddenly the carriage jolted, she opened her eyes, Dongqiao and Liangfeng both fell to the side with disheveled faces, their hands tightly held together.

Suddenly, thunder roared, gusts of wind gustted outside the carriage, the curtains of the carriage were blown open, and the cold wind blew into the carriage. Dongqiao hurriedly put down the heavy cloth that was pressing down on the curtains, and the carriage returned to tranquility.

The thunderstorm in summer comes as soon as it is said, and the big raindrops are overwhelming.The groom who was driving the carriage shouted loudly, "Miss, don't be afraid, it's just heavy rain, and we can reach the post station in half an hour."

Qingmei yawned sleepily, tilted her head and fell down, and continued to sleep soundly while hugging the blanket.

In a gray carriage behind her, Mama Wang and Mama Zhang were not so comfortable.They are old people in the house, so they naturally know some inside stories about Qingmei being sent to the other village.

Zhang's mother quietly retracted her hands into her sleeves, took off the Buddhist bead chain on her wrist, and silently recited the blessings of the Bodhisattva in her heart.Ms. Wang gave her a disdainful look, closed her eyes and meditated in disdain.

"Usually I don't burn incense, I just hug Buddha's feet temporarily." Mama Wang said leisurely.Don't think she doesn't know what mother Zhang, an old fox, is like in private!When he knew that he was coming to teach Ome etiquette, he quickly ate three days of fasting at Donglai Temple and prayed for more than a dozen peace talismans.The old woman put on a flattered look on her face, she obviously hated that prostitute more than anyone else!
Zhang's mother was very annoyed when she was interrupted in the middle of her reading, but she still had a trace of the face that an old mother in the house should have on her face, and said with a smile: "I pray for the young lady, is it just a temporary hug?"

"Hmph." Mother Wang sneered and ignored it.

Suddenly, the wheels trembled, and the two of them leaned forward even if they were unsteady.Mother Zhang was knocked aside by the force of the carriage, she was extremely annoyed in her heart, and she scolded loudly: "How did you drive the carriage, did your eyes get eaten by dogs?"

Seeing her like this, Mama Wang felt very happy in her heart: "Oh, Mama Zhang, you are so unrefined."

Mother Zhang was made things difficult by her several times, but the smile on her face still couldn't hold back, "Elegance is only useful to gentle people. This servant who drives the carriage is just a low-level person. If you speak too politely, I'm afraid he won't understand. Playing the piano to the cow, Isn't it ridiculous!"

Hearing the "drive" sound from the driver outside the carriage, the carriage moved forward slowly again, and there was no other conversation in the carriage for a while, the two old mothers sat on both sides, and no one spoke to each other, so as not to cause trouble for themselves.

Finally arrived at the station, only to find that the station was overcrowded.The carriage drove in from the small gate in the backyard, and Miss Qingmei naturally couldn't show her face in public, so she got off the carriage in the backyard accompanied by Zhang's mother, and went straight back to her room.There are mixed teachings and teachings here.Mama Zhang, Dongqiao, and Liangfeng are always by Qingmei's side to prevent Qingmei from being disturbed by strangers.

"Go get some hot water and see if Mama Wang and the others have made arrangements." Mama Zhang told Liangfeng.She knew that Liang Feng was the more stable of the two maids, and would not go wrong in this place where fish and dragons were mixed together.

"Yes."

The cool wind blows out the door.

They live on the second floor, all the rooms are connected, and Qingmei's private room is the innermost one.At this time, Mama Wang came out from the next room with a few maidservants, and the cool breeze felt hairs on her spine when she saw her.

"This is your first time traveling far away." Mama Wang came.

Liangfeng nodded quickly: "Return to mother's words, yes."

"Be careful, and always remember not to lose the face of our big mansion in Beijing! Going out is no better than being at home, and no one will clean up the mess for you!"

"Yes, servants, please remember." Liangfeng Weiwei promised.

"En." Mama Wang nodded in satisfaction, "What are you doing here?"

"If you want to go back to your mother, this slave will obey Mother Zhang's wishes and bring back some hot water for the young lady."

Mother Wang listened, feeling uncomfortable, "Go."

"Yes."

The cool wind breathed a sigh of relief, and finally passed without any danger.

Just as he was going down the stairs, another carriage came by outside the lobby door, and a man in blue jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, opened an umbrella and helped another slightly thin boy down.Liang Feng was a little puzzled, the person holding the umbrella was wearing better clothes than the boy who was supported.This... in the end who is the master and who is the servant.

"Xiao Er, come here and help, help carry the luggage up!" It was raining heavily outside, and although the man was holding an umbrella, half of his shoulder was still wet by the rain.

When he put away the umbrella, the cool breeze immediately opened his eyes. Is there such a handsome person in this world?Although the two young masters who stayed in Biezhuang before were also very beautiful, but Mr. Wang always felt a little frivolous, and Mr. Xie was even more arrogant. Even the best skin would only be disgusting.There is only this one in front of me, who is gentle and elegant, and not arrogant.

"My lord, you should rest first. Cough cough cough... I'll just carry the luggage, cough cough cough..."

"No! You're already sick, and besides, I'm not that delicate as a big man." The young man in blue dragged another little girl to his side, stuffed a coin in his hand, and said, "Please go and invite a doctor, my Shutong has been a bit cold these days."

Xiaoer took the money, naturally worked hard, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I will invite you here. The two of you should rest for a while."

The young man in blue nodded, and helped the book boy upstairs under Xiao Er's guidance.Liangfeng was still standing by the stairs in a daze, when suddenly he heard Mama Wang cough heavily, Liangfeng was startled suddenly, almost jumped up in fright, and hurriedly ran to fetch hot water with his tail between his legs.

Ms. Wang shook her head helplessly——really, a young girl who doesn't know what to do!

Inside the house, Qingmei was listening to Zhang's mother boredly telling her about the things she should pay attention to when returning to the Lin Mansion.

"Your mother is the mistress of the house. Your own younger brother is named Lin Yuanye, and the young master is talented and intelligent. After the miss returns, I think he will get along well with the young master."

Lin Yuanye is the direct son of the Lin family. Whether Lin Qingmei marries or stays at home, he will have to rely on his brother.It's a taboo for a servant to say the name of his son-in-law.Zhang's mother's move is undoubtedly to express her sincerity to Qingmei, lest Qingmei don't even know her brother's name, and make a joke in time, fearing that she will implicate a whole bunch of people.

While talking, Zhang's mother silently observed Qingmei's face.Finding that she didn't react at all, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, I didn't expect this unfavored daughter-in-law to be calm.

Back then when she was in the palace, if she risked taboo to reveal some news to those concubines and princesses, although she pretended not to care on all surfaces, the joy in the corners of her eyes and brows could not escape her mother Zhang's eyes.But now Lin Qingmei in front of her, let alone joy, she was still sitting peacefully, with a cup of tea in her hand, as leisurely as if she was listening to a book.Mama Zhang thought to herself, it seems that this young lady is probably a cunning schemer, and she seems to have to be careful in the future, so as not to go back to the mansion and fight with all the ladies and wives, and something goes wrong. up.

"The second young lady of Aunt Hu who has passed away is now fostered under the name of the eldest grandmother. She is your concubine sister Lin Qingyou. In addition, you have two concubine younger sisters and a concubine brother. Compared with other concubines, the house in Beijing Zhuang Lai is going to be much more lively, but you don't have to worry, you are a concubine, and you are more honorable than them." Mama Zhang did not forget to flatter her after she finished speaking.

Unexpectedly, Qingmei is still drinking her tea with a blank face, and she is still unmoved by whether you are wind and rain or flattering.Mama Zhang had seen such a person before in the palace, and that was the current Concubine Su—except for the Queen Mother, the only woman in the harem who survived after giving birth to a son.But no matter whether Qingmei is really like Concubine Su, or she is really innate, until she finds out, Mama Zhang thinks it's better to be careful in everything.

In the room on the other side of the second floor, Liu Chengxu was walking up and down anxiously, while the waiter next to him was sweating and standing tremblingly.

"This is the doctor you invited. You can call him a doctor even if you can't tell the difference between a cold and a fever?!" Liu Chengxu was about to be pissed to death by this money-grubbing waiter!
He traveled from Jiangdong to the capital to participate in this year's autumn examination, but the school boy Liu Sheng fell ill due to the continuous heavy rain and the acclimatization of the water and soil on the way.Liu Chengxu was not that heartless master, on the contrary, he always regarded Liu Sheng as a brother.Liu Sheng didn't want to delay his master's trip, so he only took a few doses of medicine before going on the road.But the kung fu of those country doctors and three-legged cats can only be temporarily relieved.Now that he finally came to this official post station, he pointed out that there is a decent medical clinic nearby, but the waiter in this shop still invited a quack doctor!Liu Chengxu had read a few medical books, and when Liu Chengxu questioned the quack doctor, he immediately gave away his flaws, lost his pulse, and ran away as if to escape.

"This... Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go and invite you again. Due to the heavy rain these days, many people have a fever and a cold, and all the doctors around have been invited away. Please wait a moment, and you will be successful." No?" Xiao Er put on a bitter face, the people who can live in the private room are nobles, and he can't afford to offend them.

Liu Chengxu frowned, "I'd better go to the pharmacy by myself, and you will take care of my brother for me. If something bad happens, I'll tear down your inn!"

"Yes yes yes yes..." Xiao Er hurriedly told him the location of the pharmacy.

Liu Chengxu sighed, opened the door and left.

At this time, the cool wind brought hot water, soaked the towel and handed it to Ome.Qingmei put down her teacup, glanced into the copper basin, and frowned slightly.

Liangfeng said: "Miss, wipe your face, this water has just been boiled."

Qingmei thought for a while, then turned to the table and wrote Zhang Fangzi: "This is an inn run by the government, there should be a medicine shop nearby. You follow this list to grab some medicine."

"Medicine?" Liang Feng was puzzled.

"Yeah." Qingmei said, "This is the prescription given to me by Mr. Wen, just grab it."

Although Liangfeng still didn't understand Qingmei's move, since it was doctor Wen's prescription, it was naturally a panacea.Liangfeng took the list and went out.
