The clever maid of the red mansion

After all, the illness will recover for a day, no matter whether she likes it or not, after a few days, Liu'er is still able to go to work, but she is more cautious in her words and deeds, and does not show her head in everything.

I thought my own home was enough to worry about, but within a few days, Master Dong caught the cold and was bedridden again.

I didn't see her for just one day, and the night Liu'er came back, she stopped eating.

This was simply a case of misfortunes never come singly, Liu'er didn't have the heart to eat dinner anymore, and waited on her clothes disheveled.

Master Dong gets sick twice a year. Although he gets angry, he doesn't lose his footing. He knows what to do.

In fact, in the evening, Mama Wang reported to Sister-in-law Liu if she didn't like it. She had already invited a doctor to see her, and she took some medicine and boiled it.

Seeing Dong'er outside the porch guarding the Yaozi, Liu'er in the room, changed clothes for Master Dong, wiped his hands and face, put down the towel, and looked back at Master Dong's thinner face in the past two years, feeling heavy in his heart. No energy.

In fact, Master Dong hasn't needled or sewed for nearly two years. He occasionally moves his mouth, reads a book, rests his mind, and hardly ever leaves the house.

But I don't know why, but there is no flesh on this body at all, even though he is getting weaker and weaker, he just eats the wind and drinks the dew, and disappears as a feather.

Liu'er often advised her to go out and walk around, exercise her muscles and bones to disperse her.But this person has a bad temper, he is not able to listen to persuasion at all, he just ignores it, and when he gets tired of hearing it, he just curses at him.

It's just Liu'er, who still has to say it when she is scolded, maybe once and a half times out of ten times, to make Master Dong angry and go for a walk for a while.

Liu'er was thinking about it, when Dong'er replied outside the door: "Sister Liu'er, the medicine is ready, do you want to bring it in?"

Hearing Liu'er's promise, Dong'erfang took the medicine and entered the door, but the outer room hesitated and dared not enter the inner room without authorization.

Liu'er knew that under Master Dong's prestige, everyone in Xiuzhuang feared that the east wing would be like a tiger, and they didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pond, so they didn't care, and said, "Bring it in, what is Wang Mama doing?"

Master Dong was so serious that he had to douse the drug for a short time, Wang Ma and Liu Er were both busy with the work, and he couldn't do anything alone.

Dong'er put the tea tray on the small table beside the bed, and picked up the water basin beside it to pour it out. Seeing the question, Dong'er replied, "Sister Tao'er came just now and said that her sister-in-law had activated it. She asked Mama Wang to go there, but she didn't say what time it was. return."

Li Er's family is Zhizi, the eldest girl who used to be next to the eldest girl, and later married Taoer's second brother, known as Li Er's family, and the eldest girl was appointed to accompany the house.

Liu'er sighed secretly, it seemed that there was no hope, so she had to ask Dong'er to stay and help, and the two of them were busy working together, at least they poured down the medicine for Master Dong and spilled some, as expected, they brought out the medicine .

He sent Dong'er to clean up all the things, and Liu'er gave Master Dong another one to clean up.After thinking about it, I called Dong'er, and the two of them moved the stove for boiling medicine into the outside room, went to the kitchen room to ask for some white rice, and took silver slings, and slowly cooked porridge.

I heard from Wang Ma that Master Dong hadn't eaten all day, but he drank a couple of mouthfuls of soup with Liu'er in the morning, which probably didn't matter.

Now, after two hours to wait for the medicine to be digested, it is necessary to feed some rice soup and the like. The porridge will be rotten in the morning, so I will think about letting her use some more.

Liu'er prepared according to her previous experience, but this time Master Dong's accident was more serious. Liu'er herself couldn't pry her teeth open or feed anything!

His complexion is also getting worse.

Liu Er panicked, in memory, only the first year seemed to be more serious.

In the middle of the night, who can tell her to find!

In the mansion, Master Dong doesn't care about spending money, but at most it's just asking another doctor to come, or sending some supplements.If you don't, you don't have to count on it, and the second grandma never sends her here.

Wang Ma didn't have experience, so Liu'er had to go to the front yard to find Mrs. Liu.This is also helpless. Although Sister-in-law Liu is in charge here, she doesn't come to the East Wing very often, and has always kept Master Dong at a respectful distance.

First I asked Dong'er to get up and watch, and ran to the front yard to call Mrs. Liu. Liu'er spoke earnestly, "I beg my sister-in-law to send someone to invite the doctor again. Master Dong is really sick this time, and the medicine won't do anything. No matter what, I have to get a new doctor, and please ask my sister-in-law to see Liu Er's filial piety, so someone can help me."

Liu'er's filial piety is not in vain. After all, Liu's sister-in-law is in charge of dozens of people in the embroidered village. She often thinks about her two daughters, not to mention who is decent.

Sister-in-law Liu was also fair in dealing with things. Although Master Dong had a bad temper, he was a hen that laid golden eggs in the embroidery village, and he never deducted all expenses from them.

Immediately after hearing this, she was a little anxious, and immediately asked her to drive a car to find the doctor, so she was driving a car for the mansion, so it was cheap.

Liu'er thanked her a thousand times and returned to the east chamber of the backyard.

Dong'er was using iron chopsticks to pass through the charcoal stove, and the rotten white porridge was still warm in the bowl above.He simply took out a small bowl, filled half of it and handed it to Dong'er, "I woke you up at night, let's drink something, it's hard work for you."

Dong'er smiled and waved her hands, and said softly: "What does my sister say, it's her job, and she said it's hard work or not. But sister, she didn't eat dinner, so let's eat something warm, if you have any kind of illness Already, which one should Master Dong rely on?"

On a regular basis, Liu'er only knew that the two sisters, Dongchun and Chun, were honest and obedient. Unexpectedly, the two sisters could talk, and they didn't refuse. They were indeed hungry, and they drank it all in one gulp. Go, but was stopped by Liu'er.

"Don't be too busy, I have something to ask you. Has anyone visited Master Dong today, or where has she been?"

There is no reason for this, and I haven't entered Dongyue, and I was alive and kicking when I walked in the morning, so why did I suddenly become so sick?Liu'er had doubts in her heart, and stared at Dong'er to reply.

Dong'er thought about it for a while, and said: "It's not like any outsider came here before, just during lunch time, sister Cui'er next to the second girl came to look for sister Fatty, Master Dong heard it in the room, and called in to talk, That's all."

"How did Cui'er look when she left? How long has it been since she left? Did Master Dong ask you to come in to serve her afterward? Did you say anything? Is there something wrong?"

Dong'er thought for a while before saying: "Later, Sister Fat Ya asked me to do something, but I didn't know how much it was. But after listening to Chun'er muttering for a while, it seemed that Master Dong lay down and didn't get up, and didn't eat any lunch. , we didn’t dare to go over and call, but Mama Wang packed it up, and if something didn’t look right in the next afternoon, I went to Sister-in-law Liu and called the doctor.”

Liu'er was upset, Cui'er must have come to look for her too, she was always afraid of Master Dong, like a mouse seeing a cat, so she had nothing to say to Master Dong.Master Dong must have something to say to Cui Er, and the two have never met each other, so what can they say?I have to ask Tweety tomorrow.

Sister-in-law Liu invited a doctor to come, but she was not the one who came often. She checked Master Dong's pulse and prescribed the medicine again, but the dosage was changed in the original prescription.

The outside room was boiled again, and the sleepy Dong'er was sent to sleep, while Liu'er looked at Yao Diaozi.

At the fifth drum of the day, Wang Ma, who also hadn't slept all night, came back and glanced at the medicine bowl hanging on the tea tray, "What's the matter? Why is it so heavy?"

Liu'er briefly explained the situation, then poured a bowl of tea to Wang Ma, "It happened that Mama came back, and she was worried about giving medicine to Master Dong later. I don't know, did Sister Zhizi give birth, a boy or a girl? It's really hard for you to get old."

Wang Ma still had a look of fatigue from staying up all night, but she had a smile on her face. She took a sip from the tea bowl, put it down, and said: "Fat boy who weighs seven catties, mother and child are safe, you are lucky."

When Wang Ma came back, Liu'er felt more at ease, and the two of them gave Master Dong some medicine, and they decided to feed some rice soup for breakfast, and Wang Ma just left while it was boiling in the kitchen.

Liu'er was half relieved to be able to drink the medicine, at least her teeth were opened, and it was not difficult to feed porridge and water.

She didn't sleep all night, the sky was twilight, Liu'er simply drank all the rotten porridge left in the silver sling, the taste was bland, she now has no appetite, but she can't do without it, there are many things to do during the day.

The first thing, as soon as the corner door opened, he called Chun'er to call Tweety to talk, and repeatedly urged Tweety to come here.

She herself took a purse, which contained one ingot and two taels of silver, and went out of the corner gate, went to the front yard of the mansion, looked for Mrs. Yang, stuffed the purse, asked for leave, and said that Master Dong was ill and asked for help. serve.

Mrs. Yang is open-minded when she sees money, and immediately agrees. As for how she tells the master, it's none of Liu'er's business.

She is a little girl, even if she doesn't do needlework, she can't delay the big girl's dowry, which is really nothing to Mrs. Yang.

Chun'er didn't find Cui'er, but brought a message, only one sentence: "Master Dong already knows."

Liu'er understood in an instant that Cui'er had nothing to do with Master Dong at all, but for those who cared about her recent troubles, they should know all about it, and it must be Master Dong who showed her whereabouts.

Seeing Master Dong still comatose, Liu Er felt guilty and sad.

I haven't learned anything from her to be filial, but I have been dragged down, I can only hate myself for being small and weak, not to mention that I can't protect myself, even if I serve Master Dong, I don't know how many days I can get.

Even if he gets out of the cage, it will take a few years of hard work. It is hard to say that Master Dong can live a few years with his body.

Thinking about it, in a trance, the nose was sore and the eye sockets were hot, and the tears seemed to fall like broken threads.

"I'm not dead yet, why cry?" Master Dong's tone was just a little weak.

"Master, you're awake, how do you feel? Maybe eat something?" Liu'er wiped away her tears and hurriedly moved closer.

"I have a strange taste in my mouth, please pour some water to rinse."

Although her complexion was still bad, her eyes were a little brighter, and she could feel the smell, which finally made Liu Er feel much relieved.

First, he helped Master Dong up, stuffed the backrest behind him, leaned against the head of the bed, poured warm water, took a sip, borrowed the gargle, and rinsed a few times.

In the end, he was short of energy. Master Dong leaned on for a while, recovered his mind, and opened his eyes to stare at Liu'er, "My body is just for living, but it's not interesting to live. You work for me. I thought I could lighten my life." Save a few days. So you don't have to do this, I don't have any good intentions, but you have your own intentions, and you have such a talent, I just happen to be at the right time."

Liu'er wanted to speak, but Master Dong waved his hand and took another sip of water, "Listen to me, I'm a useless person. Thanks to your careful service over the past few years, I can't give you anything. I just do things as I please, for my own sake. But it’s not for your gratitude. I heard about you yesterday, but I can’t help you. I thought that if I had that fate, I would have to wait on you all the time, and live a few more days. By then, you will be old enough to go out and get married Human, with your talent, appearance and ability, it is easy to go out to make a living. Now I am sorry for you, anyway, a master and servant, I can't protect you, but I feel so embarrassed, but I feel more and more useless. " After speaking, breathing ups and downs seems to be quite laborious.

Liu'er hurriedly went up to wipe her chest, and said softly, "Master, there is no need to be like this. Life and death are fate, wealth and heaven, what has nothing to do with the master, but people are under the eaves, there is no choice. As for serving the master, it is Liu'er's duty, a little It's just about strength. However, the master did not hesitate to teach, Liu'er has benefited a lot, and there is also a teacher-student friendship, so why can't I say that I am sorry. The master said this, isn't it bad for Liu'er. On the contrary, Liu'er can't grow I have been filial to the master for a long time, and I have failed you."

Comparing her heart with her heart, Liu'er didn't think it was natural for Master Dong to treat her well.

Being with the right master doesn't necessarily mean that you can get a good deal.

If wealth and life are held in the hands of others, life and death are just a matter of thought.

Master Dong's life and death, I can't decide for myself, let alone an ant like her.
