Yijia Yishi

Chapter 9

The Champs Elysees Courtyard is on the west side of Fushou Residence, separated only by a hallway and a flower garden, so it is not far to walk.

Lu Shuyi supported Yang shi, Yang frowned and walked a little faster.Lu Shuyi knew that her grandmother was worried about her mother's illness.

There are several rows of honeysuckle planted on both sides of the bluestone path. The flowers are golden and bloom very well.As bright as gold, as white as silver, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, intertwined and surrounded by each other, unwilling to separate.

This was planted by my mother when she was in good health. She said at the time that the whole family should be united like this honeysuckle.But the flowers are all in bloom, but there are only a few people who appreciate the flowers.

Lu Shuyi's heart was depressed, she didn't dare to look at the flowers anymore, and her pace couldn't help but a little faster.

There is a blue gauze curtain hanging on the door of my mother's room. This kind of gauze curtain is best hung in summer to prevent mosquitoes from flying in.

The two maids on duty at the door were whispering something. Seeing that Lu Shuyi and Mrs. Yang had come, a trace of panic flashed across the faces of the two maids, and they hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted: "Hello old lady, hello third miss, hello eighth miss. .”

Lu Shuyi's eyes quickly swept over the two maids.

These two maids seem to have no memory of them in their previous lives, and they don't remember their names.

What were they panicking about?
Lu Shuyi thought about it secretly, but her face was still calm, she hummed, and continued to help Yang Shi go in.

The two maids hurriedly lowered their heads and carefully opened the door curtain, and welcomed several people out from inside.

When she saw Aunt An, Lu Shuyi immediately understood why the two maids looked like that, they must be talking about Aunt An!
In the previous life, these little girls often gossiped about Aunt An and her mother, but she didn't care about it at that time and didn't care about it.

In this life, she has to take care of these gossips.

Aunt An was dressed very plainly, she was wearing a lotus-colored gown embroidered with honeysuckle, and her head was neatly tied up in a bun, with only suet jade hairpins on it.If you look closely, you can see that the whole body is not even wearing a bracelet.

Lu Shuyi sneered in her heart, Aunt An is really calculating.She let herself dress so ostentatiously in the morning, but she herself wore nothing at all.

Look at Lu Shufang standing beside her, also dressed in the same way.The dark pink beanie, combed with a double bun, only wears a silver butterfly on it, as simple as it can be.

Lu Shuyi bit her lip, thinking to herself, if she hadn't changed her clothes, but still came in wearing that bright and colorful dress, what would be the effect?
Will my mother be extremely disappointed when she sees it?What would these servants think when they saw it?
I thought she wished her mother would die early...

She didn't dare to think about it, she just drooped her eyelashes and gritted her teeth fiercely.

"Old lady, why are you here?" Aunt An looked courteous, saluted politely, and stepped forward to help Mrs. Yang.

When she saw the clothes on Lu Shuyi's body, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, but it disappeared immediately, and quickly supported Yang Shi.

Speaking of which, Aunt An still calls Yang Shi Auntie.

Aunt An's mother and the Yang family are cousins, but their house is not as powerful as that of Yang's parents.Therefore, Aunt An's mother did not marry well. The An family was just an ordinary merchant's family at that time, and life can only be said to be passable.

This is also the reason why Aunt An willingly married to the Lu family as a concubine when Lu Shuyi's mother had not given birth to a son for three years, but she just wanted to cling to the big tree of the Lu family.

Lu Shufang was even more obedient at the moment, first saluted Yang, then nodded slightly at Lu Shuyi, lowered her eyebrows, looked harmless to humans and beasts, and softly called out: "Third sister. "

Lu Shuyi gritted her teeth, resisting her temper, and instead smiled at Lu Shufang.

Lu Shufang was a little surprised, pouted, and turned around bored.

After all, Lu Shujing was still young, so she couldn't see through the mystery, so she just gave the two of them a hard look, quickly followed behind Yang, and walked in.

"Lianxue is ill, I have to come and take a look." Yang's voice was a little eager, and she looked around the screen between Xici and looked inside.

"My wife is much better, but my appetite is still poor, and I don't eat much." Aunt An explained Wu's situation in detail.

The room was a bit stuffy, filled with a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

As soon as she stepped in, Lu Shuyi felt a dense layer of sweat on her body, and her back was sticky and uncomfortable.

She looked around, and saw that the windows in the hall and the east and west rooms were not open, and were tightly closed.

She calmly glanced at the two maids at the door, and said coldly, "Why don't you open the window on such a hot day?"

Yang Shi was about to go inside, but when she heard these words, she also stood in place, followed by a glance at the carved windows in the room, it really was airtight.

The two little girls were trembling with fright, and quickly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed.

Yang's face paled slightly, a little unsightly, and he cast a sideways glance at Aunt An.

Aunt An looked indifferent, and replied calmly: "The doctor said that Madam is weak and cannot let the hot wind blow over her. That's why I made my own decisions. I only opened the door and closed the windows."

Weak body can't let the hot wind blow?

Lu Shuyi's eyes hide poison, no matter how weak her body is, she can't stand such a stuffy environment!

Besides, when she was in Xiangchun Tower, she also read a few medical books, which didn't say anything like this.

Just as she was about to speak again, she heard a weak voice from inside the room: "Mother..."

When Lu Shuyi heard this voice, she ruthlessly grabbed her heart.Yang's eyes were even redder, and she walked quickly around the folded screen of the twining plum blossoms: "Lianxue, are you feeling better?"

Lu Shuyi bit her lip and followed quickly.

Several maidservants standing in the room hurriedly bowed their knees to salute.

The smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the Xici room is stronger than that in the hall, and it is even more stuffy, and the smell of fermented sweat can still be vaguely smelled.

Near the north wall of the room, there is a Babu bed with hanging curtains. The bed is covered with a thick blanket, and a haggard woman is lying on it.

This woman was about 28 years old, her skin was sickly white, but even so, it was still difficult to hide her beautiful appearance.

It's just that he has been ill for a long time, his hair has lost its original luster, his cheeks are thin, and his eye sockets are a little sunken.Especially the thin lips, without a trace of blood, looked distressing.

"Lianxue...my poor child..." Yang's tears rolled out before she could say a word.

Lu Shujing also ran over rubbing her eyes, choked up and said, "Greetings to mother." She bowed her knees to salute.

Mrs. Wu coughed twice, and quickly shook her head: "No need." There was surprise in her eyes: "Jing'er, why are you here? Didn't you let you live at your grandmother's house?"

Wu's voice was a little weak, as if it would break off with a pinch.

Lu Shujing choked up twice, and looked back at Lu Shuyi with great reluctance: "It's the third sister who went to pick us up."

"Yi'er?" Wu's eyes lit up and her eyelashes moved, apparently in disbelief.

"Mother..." Lu Shuyi was in a complicated mood, with sadness and self-blame in her heart, she walked over quickly and knelt by the side of the bed, grabbed Wu Shi's hand, but couldn't help but shed tears.

In her previous life, she was too ignorant, not only refused to help her mother, but also made things difficult for her.

Thinking about it now, she was really ashamed.

She stroked her mother's withered hand, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile, "Mother, I went to Daci Temple this morning to pray for your safety." She took out a red bag from her sleeve, Paper bag, inside the paper bag was a big red peace talisman, she happily stuffed the peace talisman into her mother's palm, squeezed and pinched again: "This is for you, if you wear it, it will surely bless your life Ankang, there will be no more illnesses from now on.”

Aunt An looked at the peace amulet and frowned in disbelief.

When did Lu Shuyi get this talisman?Why doesn't she know?
They were obviously together at the time, so she couldn't have had a chance.

There was a bit of chill in her eyes, but she quickly covered it up, and said with a gentle smile: "Madam, you can see how filial Miss San is to you. For this filial piety, you have to take good care of yourself."
