Old things in the Red Chamber

It's autumn, when the season changes, Princess Anyang is ill, and now, Princess Anyang is a hot figure in Beijing, many people have nothing to find a reason to come to the door to curry favor, now that the master is sick, more people come to the door Yes, even if I can't see anyone, I am willing to send the gift in first.

Princess Anyang only coughed a few words at the beginning, but after a few days, she felt tightness in her chest, her cough became more serious, and there was phlegm in her throat. Running with the Princess Mansion, everyone in the elite circle of Kyoto knew that Princess Anyang was seriously ill.

Qi Jing'an went back to accompany Princess Anyang a few days earlier, and Mrs. Tong took Jia Yingchun to the princess mansion to meet her two days later.

Princess Anyang's face looked pale, and when she spoke, she felt out of breath. Qi Jing'an was serving the soup at home. When she heard that her mother-in-law had entered the mansion, she and her sister-in-law personally led Mrs. Tong to Princess Anyang's yard.

Princess Anyang struggled to get up, while apologizing, "For me, let Jing'an come back and leave the whole family behind..."

Mrs. Tong didn't dare to let her continue talking. The two of them, one leaning on the bed and the other sitting on a chair, began to talk about Xuan'er's daily life. In this room, only Jia Yingchun was an unmarried lady, standing quietly. Behind Mrs. Tong, the grandma of the Qi family watched, afraid of neglecting the guests, she asked the eldest princess, "I will take Miss Jia to the next yard. They are all young girls who have something to say."

"Yes, yes, we are old, and what we talk about is all about the family's gossip. It's about your girl's family. It's good to talk about poetry, flowers and birds."

The eldest grandma of the Qi family took Jia Yingchun and Gancao master and servant out of the yard of the upper house. "The eldest princess has been ill these past few days. Several younger sisters (cousins) of our uncle came to the mansion to accompany the princess, and they are now placed in the courtyard next door."

As soon as she entered the door, she heard the laughter in the room from afar, and the grandma of the Qi family became angry, thinking that the princess is sick now, so she should act like a servant when she comes to serve the sick. Can still laugh out loud.

The maids in the room opened the curtains and said, "The fourth grandma is here."

As soon as he entered the door, four or five little girls surrounded him, and they were all very enthusiastic.The grandma of the Qi family was unhappy and did not show it. She sat down and drank a sip of tea, and introduced Jia Yingchun to them, "This is Miss Jia who came to visit with the wife of her in-laws. You can talk with her, don't neglect her. .I still have to go to serve the eldest princess, so I won’t grind my teeth here with you.”

Several young ladies from Qi Consort's family agreed in unison, and sent their sister-in-law out. After returning, they were unwilling to talk to Jia Yingchun. One of them pulled her sister and said, "I heard that that girl is not Sister Jing'an's sister-in-law. It's a poor lady from the Rongguo Mansion, but the old couple in the Zhongwuhou Mansion treat her like a baby, so we don't want to play with her."

The other said, "Since she is a concubine, she naturally can't play with our concubines. Now that she is sitting there, it's no fun for us to play. Besides, the fourth sister-in-law saw us and disliked us for neglecting the guests. What should we do?" "

A girl sitting and eating melon seeds said, "Look at you, such a small matter is worth worrying about. See how I drive her out."

He stood up and ran over cheerfully, holding Jia Yingchun's hand, "Sister Jia, let's not play with them in the house, my sister knows there is a fun place, I'll take you there."

After speaking, she pulled Jia Yingchun out, the maid at the door opened the curtain, dragged her out desperately, held Jia Yingchun's hand tightly, and kept saying sweet words, "The first time I saw my sister , I feel happy in my heart, my sister looks gentle and amiable, I wonder what books I read at home on weekdays?"

Jia Yingchun almost dragged her out, and said modestly, "I haven't read much, and I just know a few words."

"That's right, it's right for our girl's family, for a fastidious female celebrity, not to read those Lao Shizi books."

Behind the main courtyard of the princess mansion is the garden, the girl took Jia Yingchun straight to the garden, turned seven or eight times, and led her to a pavilion on the water.Push Jia Yingchun on the stool, "Sister Jia, let's play hide-and-seek now. I'll find a place to hide first. My sister will come to me in an hour...no...after an hour and a half. Playing in the garden, my sister can’t go out of the garden until she finds me, or I will be left here alone to blow the cold wind, my sister is afraid. Okay, my sister sits first, and come to me in an hour and a half. I will find a place to hide now on."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jia Yingchun to speak, she ran away with her two maids.

"This girl is too thoughtful." Licorice helped Jia Yingchun stand up, "Girl, don't listen to her, let's go back and find Madam."

Jia Yingchun changed the place to sit, "I'm wearing thick clothes today, let's sit for a while."

Licorice looked around and saw that there was water all around. It feels cool in summer, but it feels cold when it's cold. "Girl, if you want to find a secluded place, there are plenty of gardens. Let's not sit here."

"Sister Licorice, just sit down for a while and go back to the princess's yard later. Maybe my aunt will go home later."

If you can't be persuaded, don't persuade her. Licorice also knows that she is unhappy. In the past six months, Madam and Lord Hou have seen more than 20 young talents. Some people think that she is a concubine with insufficient status. Hearing that it was a girl from Rongguo Mansion, he hesitated. Once he hesitated, Jia Gu would be very angry. He thought that this kind of person should not be married to them, and it is unreasonable to treat marriage as a business.Then there is looking for a successor to fill in the house, Mrs. Tong thinks it is not a good match...

What Jia Yingchun thought about was not only her own marriage, but also her relationship with the Rongguo Mansion. After so long, the Rongguo Mansion sent a woman and a car to pick up Lin Daiyu, and she was here alone without a girl. How much space can be occupied, even if I send Sister Lin to the car, the women are afraid that they will also get in the car and follow them back. The meaning of the words is that the girl is old, and she should respect the old master and wife.

Jia Yingchun sighed, that's fine, since they don't want them to go back and the life here is comfortable, they won't go back.

"Sister Licorice, let's go."

Licorice hurriedly supported her, touched her hand, felt a little cold, and walked quickly, "Let's find a place to hide from the wind first, is the girl cold?"

The two turned around at the shore of the lake and the covered bridge. Licorice was thinking of attacking Jia Yingchun Nuan, but without paying attention, Jia Yingchun's handkerchief was blown into the lake by the wind.

"Oh, fortunately, it's not far from the shore, and my servant will pick it up for you."

Looking not far away, licorice was squatting by the lake, just a little bit to catch the handkerchief, stretched out several times, but failed to catch it.

Jia Yingchun said to her, "Take down the hairpin, maybe you will get it."

Licorice took the hairpin down, finally pulled the handkerchief over, and wrung the water by the lake, which was very wet and heavy.

"Girl, this servant takes it, don't touch it. Let's go now."

There is a high rockery by the lake, Jia Yingchun turned her head while walking, "Don't stuff it in your sleeves, the handkerchief is wet, it's too cold..." Turning the corner, she met a man wearing an azurite robe.At a turning point, when someone came and walked hurriedly, Jia Yingchun turned her head again and bumped into the man.

Licorice immediately stepped forward to support her, avoiding being knocked down.

There were four or five people behind the other party, and one of them yelled, "Bold."

Licorice felt Jia Yingchun tremble with fright.

"My lord, spare me." Licorice hurriedly knelt down in front of Jia Yingchun, the person in front of him was either rich or noble, it would be best if he could not bring disaster to his master.

Jia Yingchun also knew that he had bumped into someone. Seeing Licorice knelt down with tears in his eyes, he mustered up his courage and raised his head, "I didn't look at the road and bumped into you. You are a large number of adults..."

Her voice finally disappeared into silence, and the other party's eyes were particularly presumptuous, looking at her from head to toe, Jia Yingchun had never encountered such a thing in her life.However, the other party's body was upright, his face was handsome, and he didn't have that lewd, squinted, squinted expression, but Jia Yingchun was even more scared.

"Get out of the way" the other party said, Licorice kowtowed, "Thank you for your forgiveness, my lord."Standing up with his head down, he stood in front of Jia Yingchun, and the two quickly moved out of the way.

Seeing the group of people leave, Licorice breathed a sigh of relief, "Looking at his aura, he should be a very powerful official. This kind of person usually cherishes his feathers and is not easy to get angry with others when dealing with things. Let's pass this time."

The two wandered around in the rockery for more than half an hour before they were found and brought back by the people in the Princess Mansion.Mrs. Tong has been waiting for them. When she saw Jia Yingchun, she touched her hand first, "Why is it so cold? Don't go to play in the garden on this day. It's too cold. Let's go home, the princess will guest."

Jia Yingchun thought that when she got home, she must first tell her uncle and aunt about what happened today, especially because she was afraid of bumping into the rich man just now. If this caused trouble for the family, I would be too sorry for my uncle and aunt.

"How does Miss Huang feel the past few days? I look at Miss Huang's pulse case, and her condition is getting worse day by day. Every time those imperial doctors recite medical books with me, I still feel relieved to see it with my own eyes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, it's just that I've had chest tightness in the past few days, and nothing else." After speaking, he coughed.

Hong Tao, the chief eunuch next to the emperor, came over and whispered back, "My lord, Mr. Liu has already made an agreement."

There is a genius doctor in the folk, surnamed Liu. In the past, doctors belonged to a low profession, but no matter who they are, they always ask the doctor to save them when they are sick. Therefore, a good doctor is always respected by others, so everyone calls him Mr. Liu.But this Mr. Liu has a rule that he does not treat officials and nobles in the palace.

Because of this rule, he refused to see a doctor for an old prince, and he was thrown into a prison. Later, the governor of the palace thought of a way, found a broken house, let the old prince wear rags, and invited this Liu The husband went to see a doctor, and in the end, in order to pretend to be more realistic, he removed the door panel and wrote the prescription on the door panel with a fire stick.

After several decades now, this Mr. Liu is getting more and more weird. No matter who it is, let him know that the other party is a powerful family, and he is unwilling to come to the door even if he is beaten to death.

The eldest princess changed her clothes, the emperor pretended to be a businessman, and invited Mr. Liu to see him in a small house.The old man took the medicine boy, pinched his goatee, closed his eyes, and put his hand on the pulse of the eldest princess. The pulse and hand of the eldest princess were covered with a thin cloth, and he kept coughing in the tent .

The emperor was sitting on one side, carrying water in a steady manner, ready to drink. A big inner guard leaned on his ear, "Sir, posture, posture."

The emperor immediately shrank his arms and took a sip of tea rudely, afraid that he was not pretending to be good. This old man has a stubborn temper, and someone has lied to him before. At that time, the old man was so angry that he wanted to fight with others desperately, so he walked away without prescription. , and was even reluctant to see people for a period of time.The emperor was afraid of extravagance, so he pretended to be petty. In the eyes of others, he wanted to pretend to be too expensive.

"Mister, my sister is..."

"I was mistaken by a quack doctor. Take a pen and paper and drink according to the prescription for a month. After a month, I don't have to come to the little old man for a prescription."

The emperor personally brought the pen and paper over. For the sake of authenticity, the pen and paper were the most common items on the street, so the old man might not recognize the good paper and pen.
