The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 108 Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other
Lu's fainting caught everyone by surprise. Mr. Xu had a good relationship with the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. When Xiuyan's family came to Beijing, the old Shangshu specially wrote a letter of recommendation.Mrs. Xu sees that Xing Zhong is quite familiar with common affairs, and is also happy to associate with the Xing family. Mrs. Xu prefers the cleverness and gentleness of sisters Xiuyan and Daiyu, and does not dislike Lu's wife who is only a sixth-rank official and alienates her.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu saw that Xiuyan had stopped the bleeding, so she handed the two little sisters to Mrs. Song.

"Old sister, please take care of these two children. I'll go in and have a look at Mrs. Lu."

"Go ahead, here with me, the two children will not be disadvantaged." Although Mrs. Song was indifferent, she was not lacking in enthusiasm at critical times.

Daiyu cried tearfully, her eyes were swollen like a pair of peach pits, while Xiuyan lost too much blood, her face was pale, her lips were blue, but she still tried to comfort Daiyu.

Mrs. Song kept silent, but kept watching the two girls secretly.

The weaker Miss Lin looks like a flower bone at first glance, trembling, a weak willow supporting the wind, ordinary people can't afford to support such a child, she must have been spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and has never been through storms.

The injured Miss Xing's Mrs. Song had to admit that she was a courageous child.Not to mention a little girl, even a half-grown man, after seeing so much blood, I'm afraid she will cry for her father and mother, but this girl, from the beginning to the end, did not shed a single tear, instead of telling others, she wanted to comfort others.

Mrs. Song nodded secretly, this Miss Xing is suitable to be the head grandmother of a famous family, she can hold her breath, she can bear things, and she has the demeanor of staying calm in times of crisis.For some reason, Mrs. Song thought of Empress Yuan, the overlord, the eldest lady of the Zhan family who had faded away early.

The fragrance disappears, the jade is broken and the beauty is perfect, and the blood stains the clothes with the broken bones and blood.

When Empress Yuan went, Mrs. Song had just been married. She married her husband reluctantly, but had to marry her own.Mrs. Song's head-carrying dowry was a pair of jade ruyis bestowed by the Empress Yuan. Who would have thought that the empress Yuan, who was praised by everyone, died in the end without knowing why.

If you don't pay attention, you really don't feel anything. After such a secret comparison, the daughter of the Xing family and Empress Yuan are indeed similar in some places.

Thinking of receiving the favor from Empress Yuan back then, Mrs. Song softened her heart a bit, and after a moment of hesitation, she still sat beside Xiuyan.

"Fortunately, it just broke the back. I covered it with my hair, but I can't see anything." Mrs. Song carefully looked at the bandage, "There is no blood seeping out, it should have stopped. My family has a good wound. The medicine is best used for healing, and I will send someone to your house in the evening, "

Daiyu stopped crying, tears still rolling in her eyes: "Thank you Mrs. Song."

Mrs. Song sighed softly: "This can be regarded as an innocent disaster. Ms. Xing really didn't see who hurt you?"

Just as Daiyu was about to scramble to distinguish, Xiuyan had already grabbed the corner of her sister's clothes tightly, only turned her head and said to Mrs. Song: "I really didn't notice anything unusual, I just felt a severe headache, and it was a bit heavy to see things in a trance." film."

Mrs. Song's mouth twitched slightly, but after thinking about it, she just nodded and said nothing.

Not long after, there were hurried footsteps upstairs, and Mrs. Cheng smiled all over her face: "You two girls, go up and see your wife, this is really a great joy."

Daiyu was completely confused. Could it be that Mrs. Cheng is crazy?Sister Xiuyan was smashed into a bloody hole, and her mother is still in a coma, where is the joy?

On the contrary, Xiuyan stood up suddenly, and looked at the other party in disbelief: "Madam means our wife"

Mrs. Cheng laughed from ear to ear: "It's been two months, your wife is so confused, why didn't you notice such a big change? If it weren't for the fact that Zheng Taiyi is a famous pulse-taking expert, I'm afraid your wife would still Don't believe it!"

The two sisters hurried upstairs, and Lu Shi was lying on the low couch that the old lady of the Cheng family had tilted just now, looking at her daughters with some embarrassment.Mrs. Xu was sitting on the little twig beside her and waved to the two sisters: "Your wife is still embarrassed! This is a good thing, and no one else can expect it." Mrs. Xu patted Xiuyan's head pitifully. The topknots were all disassembled, and white gauze was wrapped layer after layer, showing that Xiuyan's small face was much thinner.

But Xiuyan smiled sweetly: "Ma'am, don't worry about me. It's a blessing in disguise. I'm not hurt. Mother doesn't know when she will find out! Our wife has to do everything by herself. If I get tired, it's better to let me suffer first." .”

Mrs. Xu smiled from ear to ear, and said with a smile to Mrs. Song who was going upstairs: "Sister, listen, this girl's mouth is really sweet, why don't I have such a caring and filial girl."

Mrs. Song laughed and scolded: "The three daughters-in-law of your family are famously virtuous. You can't let you take all the good things in the world!" Everyone talked and laughed. He also joined in, staring enviously at Lu Shi's stomach.The two of them have been married for a long time, but there is no news for a long time, otherwise Princess Beijing's mother-in-law would not have led her daughter-in-law all the way to the south to pray to Buddha and Bodhisattva.

Seeing that Lu Shi, who is nearly forty years old, can still grow pearls, how can the two of them not be jealous?

Concubine Bei Jing was shy and didn't talk much, but Princess Zhongshun had a straightforward temper and asked Mrs. Xing's family what the secret recipe was for conceiving, which made Lu's face blush and made everyone laugh endlessly.

Let’s say that Xing Zhong got the news, asked for leave from the Yamen, and rushed here. The white cloth strips tied around his daughter’s head made him almost lose his temper, but seeing his wife carefully protecting her belly, Xing Zhong couldn’t help thinking about it.

Mrs. Cheng personally sent Lu's mother and daughter out of the house. Before leaving, the housekeeper handed over a large package of precious tonics, such as Ganoderma lucidum, fleece-flower root, antelope horn, tortoise shell glue, etc. Some were for Xing Xiuyan's blood, and some were for Lu's fetus.The Cheng family was full of apologies, but it wasn't easy to show it, so they could only continue to give gifts to make up for it.

Although Xiuyan concluded that she did not see the murderer when she was in the Sanyuan Building, everyone knew that there was no one else except Prince Fu.Concubine Fu's father is a backbone among literati. Although he did not become an official, he wrote books and wrote books, which made him highly respected by northern scholars.Because of Princess Fu's father, the "virtuous name" of Li Mu, the eldest son, was passed down among the students very early.

Those scholars may not know how many sons Xiaozong had, but there are not many who don't know the son of Prince Fu.

If the one who injured Miss Xing's family was really the prince Li Mu, maybe the Prince Fu's prince is not as good as the outside rumors say.

Back home, the housekeeper had already invited a doctor to come for a consultation. Lu Shi was overly frightened and just needed to rest, but Xing Xiuyan was a little bit worse.As soon as Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian got the news, they rushed over without stopping. They thought that sister Xing had lost her appearance, and Wang Xifeng was even more anxious, with several small cuts on her lips.

The doctor looked at the cup-sized wound on Xiu's cigarette butt, and sighed: "Master Xing, please take a step to speak."

Everyone's faces changed drastically, and Lu Shi was about to lose her fetal gas, Xing Zhong hurriedly said: "Instead of telling them all to worry, the doctor can speak directly if he has something to say."

"Hey, since your lord has already said this, it's hard for me to hide it anymore. Miss's wound is not deep, but it's not shallow. Seeing that the weather is getting hotter day by day, Miss's hair is thicker. After the wound medicine, it must be extremely itchy. According to the old method." The doctor glanced at Xiuyan's black hair, and said in a deep voice: "Only by twisting the hair can the wound heal faster."

"Absurd, absurd, you quack doctor, what bastard method did you use to entrap my sister!" Wang Xifeng cursed.The old doctor was so ashamed that his face was flushed red, he simply tossed his sleeves and wanted to leave: "Since this grandma can't trust the old man's medical skills, why should the old man suffer here!"

Jia Lian hurriedly laughed and said, "You old man, don't rush away, at least make it clear. You're going to strangle a girl's hair as soon as you open your mouth. It's no different from dying. Isn't there any other good way?"

The doctor sneered: "In terms of trauma alone, let's talk about the whole capital, even to the north of the Yellow River, there is no second person who can surpass the old man. Since you don't believe in the old man's medical skills, you can find others to see, but in the end If you want to cure Miss Your Mansion, you have to use old methods."

Both Xing Zhong and Lu Shi do not know medical skills, but the doctor's meaning is not difficult to understand.If you ask them, it's okay to twist your hair, and the wound won't heal in three or five days. The hotter the weather, the more difficult it is for my daughter.Just have to consider the consequences.

Daiyu is fifteen, and Xiuyan is sixteen. The two children are about to discuss marriage, but no wife or son will fall in love with a hairless lady, right?Besides, long hair is also a time-consuming task. Over the past few years, their daughter has spent a lot of time in maintaining this beautiful hair. Now that it has been twisted, it is more painful than cutting flesh on the heart.

Everyone couldn't help but focus on Xiuyan.

Xiuyan smiled: "It's not hot yet, let me think about it for a few days."

The old doctor was in a hurry, and without thinking, he said: "Young lady should put the overall situation first!"

Xiuyan gave him a strange look, this doctor must be too enthusiastic!
The old doctor also noticed Xiuyan's suspicious gaze, and coughed like a cover-up: "The doctor is benevolent, and I don't want the girl to regret for the rest of her life."

The old doctor's eyes became a little uncomfortable, and he deliberately avoided Xiuyan's scrutiny, put down a pair of wound medicine, and ran away as if.

That night, four women came to the Song family, all of them were in their forties, and their belts were not much different from their master's.When meeting Lu Shi, he was very polite, but when meeting Xiuyan, he was a little more cautious and flattering.

"Our third master said that the knife wound medicine used at home in the past was too strong. I was afraid that Miss Xing would not be able to bear it. This was prepared by the third master himself. It is very good for the girl's injury." The leading woman took out another one The sealed small porcelain bottle said with a smile: "This is the most effective for relieving itching. If the girl is in severe pain, she can take one. The third master also explained that if the girl runs out of medicine, just send someone to go."

The remaining three women couldn't help being curious, and secretly looked at Xing Xiuyan.You must know that their third master is notoriously cold. The Song family and other idlers dare not get close to them. Even the two young wives in the family want to take a detour when they see the uncle who is a thousand households in the Zhenfu Department. It can be seen that the third young master I have no patience with women.

Who would have thought that the third master would care so much about the daughter of the Xing family!
