The mandarin duck said in disgust: "At such an age, one on the left and one on the right are not afraid of being tired. If you have time to do this job, why don't you be more filial to see the old lady. Since the day when the Prince of Beijing came, we went to see it together. Back to the old lady, I haven’t come here yet! Every day, I only send the old lady to show up to prevaricate, but I don’t know if he is the old lady’s real son!"

Seeing that Sister Feng only shed tears and refused to answer her own words, Yuanyang persuaded again: "If grandma doesn't want to, just say that the old lady is sick now and has no time to do this trouble. If you just say a few words to dismiss it, you can just wait until the old lady When the wife is better, I will make the decision for you again?"

Sister Feng said slowly: "Just now I told the eldest wife that, but she gave me a good reprimand, saying that Lian'er and I are not filial, and we will be punished in the future and wait a long time before we go. "

Yuanyang asked again: "Why did the servant come in and see the little girl next to the eldest lady crying and ran out? What does it have to do with her?"

Hearing about Sister Feng's face, she said with anger: "The eldest lady thought that I pouted her, and she couldn't understand her hatred, so she sent her girl back to tell me, don't look at the old lady who can help me, it is the old lady who is good. Get up, one is the son, the other is the granddaughter-in-law, who is she facing? If she is a sensible person, she will do things more simply, otherwise she will send him here tomorrow to finish the work. I scolded her back again!"

Yuanyang smiled and said: "I said! It's over, don't be angry when it's done, the old lady asked the servant to talk to grandma, the concubine and Miss Bao are here, the old lady is happy to let the whole table have good food!"

When Sister Feng heard this, she thought to herself: "The old lady has been ill these days, Aunt Xue doesn't come here a few times, but she just goes to the wife's yard!" When she looked up and saw Yuanyang smiling at her, she nodded. He agreed, and asked Ping'er to pour tea for Yuanyang.

Yuanyang laughed and said, "Second Mistress, don't flatter me, why did I use Sister Ping'er to pour me tea, besides, the maidservant hastened to return to her life! The old lady can't do without her."

Sister Feng stood up with a smile and said, "I know you're busy, so I won't send it away. I'll let someone do it."

Yuanyang smiled and said: "Second Mistress will go up later, don't show it, it will trouble the old lady."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Got it, go quickly." Yuanyang said goodbye with a smile and comforted Sister Feng with a few words, then turned around and went back without mentioning it.

Seeing that the mandarin ducks had gone far away, Ping'er came over to help Sister Feng to sit down and said, "Grandma, please lie down and rest for a while, if you don't take good care of your body, if you fall ill again tomorrow, it's not your fault!"

Sister Feng leaned on Ping'er's arm and leaned lightly on the bed, sighed and said, "I want to take a good rest, look at this matter one after another, which one will make me worry! When will I swallow?" That's all for now."

Ping'er's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Grandma, please close your eyes and rest, this servant girl will go down and order lunch."

Sister Feng nodded and said: "I was supposed to be strong, but I lived so hard. I couldn't hold on for a few days and then fell down again. Fortunately, I have you by my side, and I can help you. Otherwise, Mrs. Ruoyi I'm afraid he doesn't want me to be a housekeeper anymore."

Ping'er hurriedly said: "What did grandma say? Stop thinking about it." As he spoke, he pulled a thin quilt over for Sister Feng to cover her.

Sister Feng slowly closed her eyes. Ping'er saw that the four-butterfly golden walk she had chosen with great care was a little crooked, so she stretched out her hand to help straighten it up. His face was sallow, and the cheekbones on both sides protruded slightly, making him look more and more haggard, and he couldn't help but feel sad for a while.

Here Sister Feng closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep when she was woken up by the flustered voice of the little girl in the yard.

"Second Grandma, Second Grandma, it's not good, it's not good!"

"Damn it! Grandma just fell asleep." Ping'er came out quickly and cursed.

"Sister Ping, the old lady is not good!" the little girl cried.

"What?" Ping'er was taken aback, Sister Feng's voice came from inside the room and asked, "Ping'er, what's the matter?"

Ping'er hurried back to the house, and said in a trembling voice: "The little girl came to report, saying that the old lady is not good."

When Sister Feng heard this, she turned over and got up and said, "Hurry up, help me over there."

Ping'er hurriedly helped Sister Feng down to the ground, put on her shoes indiscriminately, and hurried to Jiamu's room.

But Jia Mu's room was in a mess at this time, and the old lady had been supported and lying on the couch. Daiyu, Aunt Xue, and Baochai were all calling with crying sounds, and the maids knelt down on the ground.

Yuanyang had only entered the door for a while, and at this time she also cried and said to Daiyu: "Girl, you take care of me here, and wait for the servant girl to find the second master Lian." Without waiting for Daiyu's consent, she walked out.

However, Jia Lian was not in the mansion at this time, and the Eldest Master Jia He was just found by the people of the Zhenguo Mansion, and there was not a single man in charge of the whole Rongguo Mansion.It was Xichun who thought of her elder brother Jia Zhen. Although she was usually dissatisfied with her elder brother and sister-in-law, she wanted to take care of the overall situation, so she hurriedly asked the girl Caiping to find her.

After a while, Jia Zhenyou's couple came in a hurry. They were startled when they saw the formation. Jia Zhen hurriedly said to Mrs. Wang who had just heard Xin'er rushing over: "Auntie, don't worry, nephew. So I went to find Doctor Li." After speaking, he gave You Shi a few more instructions, and then took the people to the Tai Hospital.

Mrs. Wang ordered someone to bring some rice soup for Jiamu to drink, and Yuanyang brought the soup to the old lady's mouth crying. No matter how much she poured Jiamu, she didn't open her mouth. Everyone was afraid. He kept calling.

With the help of Ping'er, Sister Feng stumbled in and said, "Let me come." Then she pushed aside the crowd and walked in. With her right thumb, she pressed hard against Jia Mu's middle place, and after a few presses, Sister Feng The son was sweating profusely, only to hear Jia's mother sound like "hmm", she couldn't help being overjoyed, and called out: "Old ancestor, old ancestor, I am Feng girl, open your eyes and have a look!" But Jia's mother is still co-writing Both eyes remained motionless, and the whole group became confused again.

It was another stick of incense kung fu, and Jia Zhen's voice outside the door said: "Doctor Li is here soon." All the female relatives in the house avoided.

Doctor Li didn't care about the rules, and hurried forward to make a diagnosis. Jia Zhen came over and asked cautiously, "Is it okay?"

Doctor Li looked solemn, and said: "Did the old lady take those medicines on time?"

The mandarin duck on the side cried: "The slaves have always given the old lady the medicine on time, and they haven't missed the hour."

Doctor Li opened the medical box, took out some silver needles, and pricked several major acupuncture points on Jia Mu's body. After a while, Jia Mu seemed to let out another sound, slowly opened her eyes, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yuanyang's eyes were sharp, but she saw that there seemed to be drooling from the corner of Jiamu's mouth, so she hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe it off, but it dripped again.

Doctor Li said softly to Yuanyang: "The old man has a wind in his house, and he can't move half of his body. You have to be careful in serving him." After speaking, he turned to Jia Zhen and said, "Please come out for a while, my lord."

Jia Zhen hurriedly followed out to the outside room, and the doctor Li said: "The old lady's illness has recovered very quickly, but for some reason, the coldness in her body is so strong now. Has the old lady eaten other foods such as severe heat and severe cold recently?"

Jia Zhen hurriedly asked Yuanyang to come out again to ask, Yuanyang said: "For the past ten days, the old lady has only drank some gruel every day, and has used nothing else. The medicine is also made according to the doctor's order. Yes, I dare not make a mistake."

Imperial Physician Li wondered: "That's weird. I just gave the old lady the pulse. She clearly used a lot of tonics in her body, but she was so angry that her condition changed."

Yuanyang thought to himself: I went to Sister Feng's place just now, and only Miss Lin, Aunt Xue, and Miss Bao were left in the room. Could it be that what they said made the old lady angry?No way?Needless to say, Miss Lin is the old lady's heart, but Aunt Xue and Miss Bao expected that they would not have the courage to say something unpleasant to the old lady.

Seeing that the mandarin duck couldn't say anything, Jia Zhen asked her to go back to take care of her, and said to the imperial physician, "Is the imperial physician able to find a solution?"

Doctor Li sighed: "The previous time was very dangerous. Fortunately, it was cured in time, but this time it was a disease that added to the disease, and I took the food that restrained it. It is not easy to be cured. Let me see if I can think about it." Find a way, save the life of the old lady and come over and talk about other things!"

Jia Zhen was also heartbroken when she heard this, and hurriedly asked the imperial physician to treat her with all her heart, and she will be very grateful when the old lady recovers!Doctor Li became humble, and went in to do acupuncture with Jia Mu for a while, and waited until Jia Mu fell asleep again before trying the sweat beads on his forehead, and said to Jia Zhen: "The old man's life is safe for the time being, and the only thing I can do is to be an official." Here, everything depends on the fortune of the old man."

Jia Zhen thanked her in a hurry, and asked Li Taiyi to go to the front to write a prescription, and sent it out with gratitude.

In Jiamu's outer room, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang are sitting on chairs, while Sister Feng, Li Wan and several girls in the garden are standing below.Then Aunt Xue and Baochai saw that something happened to the old lady, and other things were involved, and the house was very chaotic. Knowing how inconvenient they were here, they took Baochai back to their home early, and sent another little girl The son inquired about the movement here.

Mrs. Wang's face was gloomy, she gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me, who put something in the old lady's medicine?"

No one spoke for a long while, Madam Xing said: "It's always the work of those heartless girls, it has nothing to do with the girls."

Mrs. Wang eased the color on her face and said: "I don't doubt them, so you guys sit down and talk." Li Wan, Daiyu, Tanchun and Xichun all sat down.

Mrs. Wang said to Yu Chuan'er beside her again: "Go in and serve the old lady, and let all the girls in this room, big and small, come over. I have something to ask!"

All the sisters couldn't help but looked at each other, Yu Chuan'er went into the back room while talking, and after a while, Yuan Duck, Hu Po and Glass came out, and a few little girls who were waiting at the door also came in and stood aside.

Mrs. Wang said: "There are a few more. They all called in and said that there are good things to be distributed!" A little girl hurried to find them. After a while, more than a dozen girls in Jiamu's room had all come in. .

"Don't you all kneel down to me, you lowly things." Mrs. Wang sternly shouted.More than a dozen girls hurriedly knelt down, each of them beating a small drum in their hearts.

"Ma'am, what happened to the old lady?" Following the words, Baoyu stumbled in and asked as soon as he saw it.

When Mrs. Wang saw Baoyu coming, her face became even more gloomy. When she saw the attacker who was following behind, she scolded: "Baoyu is still ill, why let him run around? If he falls ill again, I will ask you!"

The attacker was so frightened that he trembled all over. He hurriedly stepped forward to pull Baoyu and said, "Second master, go back with your servant, and see that your wife is angry."

Seeing that all the sisters were here, Baoyu thought that something must have happened to the old lady, so she would not leave, so she asked, "Ma'am, Baoyu is here to visit the old ancestor, just take a look and leave."

Mrs. Wang ignored him, but cast her eyes hard at Xiren and Qiuwen. The two maids had never seen their wife move so aggressively, so they stepped forward and couldn't help saying that they pulled Baoyu and went out.

Although this Baoyu is a man, it is a pity that he has just recovered from his illness, and he is really afraid of his mother. Although he misses Jia's mother in his heart, and sees Daiyu sitting there, he dare not disobey Mrs. Wang's words, so he has to cry and half push half on the spot. Go out with Xiren Qiuwen.

Mrs. Wang sneered again at Yuanyang who was kneeling on the ground: "Yuanyang, just now you said that the old lady's medicine was given by you, why is there a big tonic in this medicine?"

Yuanyang said urgently: "The medicine was fed to the old lady by the slave girl herself. The old lady is so kind to the slave girl, how could the slave girl murder the old lady and do such shameless things!"

Mrs. Wang yelled sharply: "You fed the medicine, no one else intervened, and you are still sophistry!"

Sister Feng on the side was really angry and laughing in her heart, what happened to the second wife today?She said that it was the old lady who was fed by Yuanyang, but she was not the one who cooked the medicine. After reaching her hands, after a few hands, she decided that it was Yuanyang!

Sister Feng was about to open her mouth to defend Yuanyang, but suddenly a clever idea appeared in her mind!Secretly said: "Although my wife doesn't take much care of things on weekdays, she is a clumsy and pretending to be stupid. Is there anything in the house that can be hidden from her! Could it be..." Thinking of this, Sister Feng became even colder. Yuanyang is the old lady's most caring Yes, she is the old lady's number one confidant girl, the big and small things in the house are decided by the mandarin ducks, and all the old lady's things are also kept by this girl, what's the matter?The wife wants to...

Before she could figure it out, another weak voice came from her ear: "Second Aunt, can Daiyu have a word?"

Seeing that Daiyu was going to speak, Mrs. Wang hummed lightly in her nose, and said slowly, "Is the eldest lady going to intercede for this little hoof?"

Daiyu walked over gracefully, gave Mrs. Wang a light bow, and said: "My niece has no place to speak in front of my aunt, but my niece has something unclear, so please ask my aunt to clarify."

Mrs. Wang's face was full of reluctance: "Speak."

Daiyu lowered her head and thought for a while, before asking: "The niece was thinking about Sister Yuanyang and said that this bowl of soup was fried by the little girl and brought over, and she fed it to the old lady herself, but the medicine is not It wasn't her who did it, how can Auntie be sure it was her?"

Mrs. Wang said in her heart: It's really my mother's nemesis. Who doesn't know this truth, and you are the one to ask if others don't say it!

But after Daiyu finished speaking, she raised her head and looked directly at Mrs. Wang with a fearless expression on her face.

Sister Feng below saw that Daiyu, who was usually the most timid and cautious, went to help Yuanyang at this time, and felt very ashamed. She knew who Yuanyang was, not to mention how much this girl helped her on weekdays?Then he also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Ma'am, I think Yuanyang is the girl we know best. She has served the old lady for more than ten years, and she has never made a single mistake. She is the most loyal to the old lady. How could she suddenly do such a stupid thing?" What's wrong with the old lady if her health is not good?"

In just a split second, Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes twice, and suddenly there was a smile on her face, and she said angrily to Cai Yun, "Hurry up and help the mandarin duck up! I blamed her, and you don't want to remind her." .”

Caiyun hurriedly came over to help Yuanyang up and said with a smile: "Madam is tired of serving the old lady these days, she came here just after she fell asleep, maybe she didn't think well, Sister Yuanyang will definitely not blame Madam."

Yuanyang stood up and saluted Mrs. Wang, "Mrs. Xie."

Mrs. Wang asked her again: "Who is responsible for boiling the medicine these few days?"

Yuanyang said: "It was the glass that brought the little girl Huier."

Mrs. Wang said angrily again: "Where are the two little hooves?" Glass and Hui'er, who were kneeling below, quickly crawled over two steps.

Yuanyang hurriedly said again: "Today, Glass was supposed to look at the decoction, but was temporarily called by the old lady to deliver something to Grandma's brother, so only Hui'er should be present."

Li Wan who was sitting on the side also quickly stood up and said: "It's absolutely true, Miss Glass is here to give Lan'er a snow gown as a gift from the old lady."

Huier below did not wait for anyone to ask questions, and hurriedly cried: "Sister Yuanyang only cares about Sister Glass, so she pushes this matter onto Huier?" Right next to her, the old lady told her to go out, not to mention that when the medicine was just being cooked, Hui'er went out for a while, and it was Sister Glass who was looking at the medicine alone! Why is there nothing about her? Me? My wife, please investigate clearly! The slaves are wronged!"

Mrs. Wang asked Glass: "Is what she said the truth?"

Glass also cried: "What Hui'er said is correct, but the servant girl really didn't do such an outrageous thing!"

Seeing that several people did not admit it, and each said their own reasons, everyone in the room couldn't help it. After a while, Mrs. Wang said: "Forget it, I don't know, I didn't do it myself. Just think about it. Which thief steals something and admits that he is a thief! Since the two of you made the medicine, no one can get away with it!"

Then he raised his voice to the outside and said: "Pull the glass and Hui'er out, hit [-] boards each, and push them down again, and they are never allowed to come forward."

"Madam! Madam!" Glass and Hui'er wailed loudly before being dragged out.

Daiyu stepped forward to persuade her: "Auntie, please don't get angry. My niece thinks that her second uncle will return to Beijing soon. Why don't you take care of them for the time being and make a decision when the uncle comes back, so as not to miss the real medicine?" You have wronged a good person too, right?"

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Young lady is not in good health, just take care of yourself and save people's worries. You don't need to worry about these things. I will tell you when the master comes back."

After all, Daiyu belonged to a girl's family. After eating Mrs. Wang's words, she couldn't help but blushed, and her eyes filled with tears, she turned her pretty face aside and said nothing.

Sister Feng also wanted to come forward to persuade her, but she saw that Daiyu had nailed the nail, so she couldn't say anything more, and she was afraid that Daiyu would feel sad, so she said, "Sister Lin, don't worry too much, my wife is doing it for your own good, but just out of anger." Speak harsher."

Mrs. Wang saw Sister Feng stepping down the steps for her, and thought that the old lady's life was not in danger, and she might get better someday. Knowing that she treated her granddaughter so poorly, it would not be worth blaming her, so she also changed her smile and said "It's still Feng girl who knows me, big girl, you are usually weak, and you have been here for a long time, go back and rest."

Daiyu had no choice but to help Zijuan go back temporarily.

It was only dark that day, and there was a faint thunder in the sky, followed by soybean-sized raindrops falling down.

The raindrops were beating on the window frame crazily. In a row of low houses outside the southwestern corner of Jia's mansion, the girl Hui'er was lying on the bed with a pale face, while her widowed mother was sitting by the bed and weeping non-stop.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Hui'er's mother stood up and walked towards the door. At this moment, a flash of lightning came down in the sky with a white light like a sharp sword, and then a black shadow was reflected, which scared Hui'er. The son's mother jumped up, and before she could cry out, she saw someone coming into the room in a blink of an eye.

Regret's mother took a closer look, the person who came was not tall and was dressed in black, so she couldn't see clearly because the room was not lit.When the visitor saw her, he lowered his voice and said: "Here is the money for Hui'er's medical treatment, and the contract of prostitution for both of you, take it and burn it. When she recovers from her injury, you will take her with you." Go back to your hometown and find another family for her to marry, this money is enough for you.” After speaking, he gave her a bundle in his hand, then turned his head and left.

Regret's mother only heard that the person who came came was a woman, even though her voice was deliberately thickened.When I opened the package, I saw that there were two deeds of sale and a 200 tael bank note inside. My mother regretted it, so she came to ask her daughter who was lying on the bed.

Hui'er closed her eyes tightly, she heard all the conversation just now, at this moment, she really hated and regretted in her heart, she wasn't forced by others, how could she do such a thing?

After a few more days, there were people from Mrs. Wang's place reporting that the girl Hui'er who was beaten a few days ago even ran away with her mother fearing the crime.

Mrs. Wang smiled slightly after hearing this: "Let her go, the two of them have no money with them, let's see where they can go! It's just that they die as strangers." She didn't mention it again.

But because of the pleading of Sister Feng, Daiyu, and Baochai, Jiamu's maid, Mrs. Wang said that after a few days, when she recovered from her injury, she would let her come back to serve Jiamu, but she was not allowed to enter Jiamu's house again. In the room, I can only be a rough girl.

The glass was so angry, but the wound was never kept neat. Later, after listening to his father's words, he begged Sister Feng and Jia Lian to marry a young servant in the mansion, and went to Jinling to look at the old house together.
