White Hedge Dream

Chapter 15 Minor Illnesses

"It's not like she's sick. The little girl Cui'er accidentally hit herself."

Mother Hu, who was in charge of the little girl, was called in and explained to the old lady with a smile.

After hearing this, Mrs. Ding'anbo's expression softened slightly.

"Why are you so careless?" She shook her head and said, "You are too young to use it, so don't use it."

This is to drive people out. Who in the family would dare to use the people that the old lady has driven away? This little girl can only be sold.

Lu Jin next to her frowned slightly. She remembered that this Cui'er was always sent to her and bumped into her... That night, she was bumped into by Lu Wenjie.

However, she said nothing and fed the old lady another mouthful of melon.

"There are mothers to worry about." She said, "Don't worry about it."

Mother Hu said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Madam, don't worry, this little girl is reluctant to leave your place. This time, she saved her life thanks to being here with Madam."

How do you say this? Mrs. Ding'anbo was a little curious.

"That little girl is young and thin-skinned, and the injuries are actually very serious. I have seen it myself, and I'm afraid she won't be able to survive it."

Listening to Mrs. Hu's story, everyone in the room was a little nervous. It was too scary.

Lu Jinze was okay, knowing that there must be a reason why Mother Hu dared to be so scary.

"...You don't even need to ask a doctor. If you do, it won't cure him and it will scare other people. I just thought I would just wait until dawn to carry him out."

"I kept this in my mind and passed by before dawn. As soon as I entered the house..."

At this point, Mother Hu slapped her leg suddenly, making a snap sound that startled everyone in the room, and the timid maid even let out a cry.

Mother Hu stopped being scary and hurriedly told the result.

"I saw the little girl standing underground drinking water."

this…..

"Mother Hu, you must have read it wrong, the injury is not that serious." Xue Liu said with a smile.

Others also complained, "Mother Hu, you just love to scare people."

Mother Hu hurriedly waved her hands and swore that she was not talking nonsense. "If you don't believe me, call that girl in. You see, the injury is on the spleen, and there is still a bruise. It is the most fatal place. And the girl also said that she is going to die, and her roommate The girl also said that when she touched it in the middle of the night, her body became cold. "

Mrs. Ding'anbo became a little impatient: "Then what's going on? It's life or death."

Mother Hu knelt down to the old lady and bowed: "This is all because of you, old lady."

People in the room were stunned again, and Mrs. Ding'anbo was also puzzled: "Because of me?"

Mother Hu's cadenced voice sounded again.

"... Cui'er said that while she was half dead and half alive, she saw Guanyin Bodhisattva appear and heal her..."

"...Old madam, this must be your year-round worship to Buddha. Gods and spirits are there to bless you, even us servants."

"Don't believe it, you guys. I know you don't believe it. Old lady, the guest room could smell the fragrance that night..."

"One person smells a lie, how can everyone..."

"Old madam, I've been with you for half my life, so why do I need to lie to invite favors?"

"I knew this was ridiculous, and I didn't report it to the old lady at that time. I watched it personally in the past two days, and also asked the doctor to take a look. He said that the injury was a bit serious, but his life is safe."

"I have lived half my life and have never seen such a miracle. When I saw it with the old lady, I really..."

When Mrs. Hu said this, she was so excited that she couldn't continue and just bowed to Mrs. Ding'anbo.

Indeed, Mother Hu's status would not allow her to use such clumsy tactics to invite favors. People in the room were chattering, and the smart girls had already summoned some of the rough-and-tumble girls who lived in the servants' rooms.

It was the first time for them to step into the old lady's room. They were timid and timid, but they all said in unison that they smelled the aroma.

"There is still fragrance in Cui'er's house." A little girl said boldly.

Mrs. Ding'anbo couldn't sit still anymore and got down from the bed: "I'll go take a look."

…

…

This is the first time in her life that the old lady has set foot in a place like the servant's room.

The servants were all panic-stricken, and there was no time to clean up. The mothers in charge simply took curtains from the warehouse and spread them on the floor for the old lady and the maids to step on to avoid getting their feet dirty.

Tweet's cramped interior couldn't accommodate too many people, but even standing outside, one could indeed smell a faint fragrance. Mrs. Ding'anbo stood indoors and looked at the little girl lying on the bed. The little girl's face was pale. Even if she was not a doctor, the old lady could tell that this was not an act. Then she smelled the faint fragrance lingering in the room...

The servants cannot use incense, and it is such a pure incense.

This is really a miracle. Mrs. Ding'anbo put her hands together, closed her eyes and silently recited the blessings of Bodhisattva.

Others also followed suit, and some knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.

"Good child, you are blessed to have met the Bodhisattva. Take good care of yourself. Good days are waiting for you in the future." Mrs. Ding'anbo said softly.

Cui'er lay on the bed, looking at the luxurious old lady, and nodded with tears in her eyes.

"What's a Bodhisattva like?" Xue Liu couldn't help but ask.

Everyone else also looked at Cui'er, with excitement and envy in their eyes.

"Bodhisattva..." Cui'er moved her lips. In fact, what she dreamed about was not a Bodhisattva.

She was in so much pain that she called her mother in her heart, and then she really saw her mother, who had been dead for many years, coming.

Mom was still holding a lotus bud in her hand, and then the lotus blossomed. She and her mother sat on the lotus. Mom held her, patted her, sang her a lullaby, rubbed her belly, and said it was okay. It doesn’t hurt anymore…

Then she really stopped feeling pain. When she woke up, she felt very thirsty and couldn't scream. There was no one in the room. She pushed herself up and got up to drink water. Then Mother Hu screamed like she had seen a ghost...

Only then did she realize that she almost died. She told Mother Hu about her dream, and Mother Hu ran out excitedly. She also invited a doctor to see her and personally guarded her for two days.

Of course, she didn't dare to say that she dreamed about her mother. Mothers in charge hated it when little girls like them missed their families. They said it meant complaining about the poor treatment of them by the government, so she only said that she dreamed about a woman who cured her.

She didn't expect to alarm the old lady.

Facing the old lady, we can't even say that she dreamed of her mother. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that her mother is a Bodhisattva?

"Bodhisattva, hold a lotus flower..." Cui'er murmured and couldn't help but look to the side.

Mrs. Ding'anbo looked even more joyful. Lotus, that's right, Guanyin Bodhisattva is sitting on the lotus seat. Following Cui'er's gaze, she saw a broken porcelain vase placed on the small wooden stool beside the bed, with a A lotus... bud.

"Is this lotus flower?" a maidservant shouted in a trembling voice, "Did the Bodhisattva give it to you?"

Mrs. Ding'anbo's eyes were also a little shocked.

"My lady gave this to her." A maid's voice sounded.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the speaker, seeing that it was Lu Jin's maid Yao Qin.

"That day Cui'er picked us up, and the lady thanked her for her hard work holding the lantern, so she gave her this lotus bud to play with," Yao Qin said.

Everyone looked at Lu Jin.

Lu Jin smiled and said, "Don't look at me, everyone, I am not a Bodhisattva."

Everyone was amused, and Mrs. Ding'anbo also laughed. She reached out and tapped her: "Don't talk nonsense." With a bit of joy, she said, "Good boy, it must be your lotus that attracted the Bodhisattva."

Mother Hu winked at Cui'er. Cui'er reacted and stood up to kowtow to Lu Jin, "Thank you, Miss."

Lu Jin hurriedly waved his hand to stop him: "Stop it, take good care of yourself."

Mother Hu asked: "The Bodhisattva has appeared in this room. Do you want to enshrine it so that no one can use it?"

Mrs. Ding'anbo shook her head hastily: "You are disrespecting the Bodhisattva." Looking at Cui'er on the bed, she looked compassionate and said, "Let her be raised here."

After saying that, he looked around the room again, clasped his hands and prayed to the Bodhisattva.

Everyone followed the action.

After all, the servant's room was not the place where the old lady came. After hearing the news, the uncle, his wife, the third wife and others came to ask what happened, so they came to ask. Mrs. Ding'anbo left with her people.

Xueliu, who had been following him to watch, walked at the end and couldn't help but look back.

"Why, do you want to get more blessings from the Bodhisattva?" Yao Qin said with a smile.

Xue Liu pursed her lips and smiled, without saying anything disrespectful to the Bodhisattva. She pointed at the lotus bud and asked in a low voice, "That one is..."

Yao Qin nodded and hurriedly explained: "Don't blame the young lady for not making it clear. The old lady is very happy."

Suddenly it was said that the lotus bud that attracted the Bodhisattva was a gift from the new young lady of the Dongyang Marquis Mansion. How unlucky.

Xue Liu nodded: "I know." After saying that, she took Yao Qin's hand and walked out, but looked back again.

What she was thinking was, it must have been more than ten days since the lotus bud bloomed, so why hasn’t it faded yet?

Is it possible that it really is an immortal flower?
