Stepfather Wangfu Chapter 6
"I use leaves and white root grinding powder, the same can cure wind and dampness, travel far away on the body, easy to eat, this is specially for Mrs. Yang, you often go to Cheongju to see your grandchildren, the journey back and forth takes half a month."
"Grandma Qin often has the old problem of headaches, this is my medicinal powder made with smoked books and wood fragrance, half a tablespoon after three meals a day."
Inside the hall, I saw her smiling and lovingly explaining to each person how to use the medicine in her hand.
An official lady did not forget to ask again, "Xi En, you said last time that you should choose foods that suit the seasons and the climate, and now that it is autumn, what should you eat?" ”
"Autumn solstice and winter, the weather is cooler, the air is relatively dry, more susceptible to cold, so it is necessary to nourish the body, give the body enough moisture, such as eating more grapes, fungus, potatoes, persimmons are good." 」 She smiled cleverly at the answer.
Several old ladies laughed and opened their mouths, and one of them said to the old lady, "I really envy you, don't worry about it, there is Xi En taking care of the body, but you are getting younger and younger." ”
"The spirit is getting better and better."
"Yeah, in addition to the fact that the roots of the paralysis for many years are too deep, I think my body is getting better and better." The old lady was actually very satisfied.
"Your condition is much better than ours, some of us have to hang up crutches, and you can still walk like a fly!" But no matter how envious it is, there is no such child as Xi En in our family. "The other old lady was very envious.
"Yes! Xi En is sixteen years old, we have grandchildren and children in these families, and they have also brought you to see, you don't let us all have hope, and we are not sure, have you looked at which one? ”
Several officials chatted and laughed with great interest, first let Wu Xi'en take the pulse, take the medicinal materials, and finally talk about her life's events.
"I want to keep her for two more years" Although I know that my granddaughter has already counted, but the old lady jun really does not want her, Xi En, this child also has a popularity, everything will not be proud, willing to pay attention, knowing that she is old, although her body is good but her feet are not good, she is lazy to go out, so she intimately went to find these old sisters to the house, saying that she wanted to write a doctor about the health care of women over seventy
The book, asking them to talk about their physical changes, is actually to find a companion for her to talk about, and now, these old sisters come to visit the door and run diligently.
"Don't stay, maybe Dawn wants to go out of the cabinet." Old Lady Ye leaned forward and smiled as if she wanted to whisper to the old lady, but her voice was not deliberately lowered, it was deliberately to let her hear it.
Wu Xi'en shook her head and smiled, "No, I also want to spend more time with Taijun." ”
"Hear that?" The old lady smiled and closed her mouth, Xi En's child was her greatest pride.
"I heard it, but you also heard the news from the palace, right?"
When several old ladies heard this, their brows immediately frowned.
"The empress dowager still did not give up on King Jing's marriage, and recently she was looking for a secret merchant to find a woman who could solve his life for him to be his wife."
"King Jing has died two wives, and the empress dowager is confused, she can't just care about the happiness of her own son, she is not afraid of dying someone else's daughter again."
"Shhh, although this is the Gonggong Mansion, you can't talk nonsense."
"Old Lady Qin is right." The old lady Looked at Old Lady Du who said the wrong thing with a serious look, "The empress dowager is also a mother, when the emperor's eldest son has harem concubines to serve, there are also many children, but when King Jing's younger son is guarding the border pass in the northwest town, two wives in a row have died, even if the war takes a break, most of them stay in Yan'an City, which is a hundred kilometers away from the northwest, and it is rare to return to Beijing and always come and go in a hurry..."
"That's to avoid the daughter of the prime minister," Old Lady Ye couldn't help interjecting, "when the other girlfriends saw that King Jing had killed two wives in a row, they all said that he had fought countless battles, killed too much, and the unjust souls came to ask for their lives, afraid of death, as far as their father and daughter were different, they wanted to become a family with King Jing quickly." ”
"Wronged souls?" One of the officials' wives raised questions.
"It is rumored that king Jing's two wives saw ghosts, and later one fell into the lake and the other committed suicide by taking poison, but this is only a rumor and cannot be trusted." The person who answered the call was Wu Xi'en, who smiled at this group of elderly people who were seventy or eighty years old, talking about gossip and gossip that could not be lost to the little girl, and many people suffered from amnesia, these conversations have actually been said for more than two months, or can still be talked about.
In fact, the matter of Zhu Chenshao, the king of Jing, thanks to rumors, she also heard a lot, he was the younger brother of the emperor's mother, and he was the most loyal courtier, but unfortunately there seemed to be no wife and children, in just six years, he married two wives and died twice, and now he is nearly thirty years old, he has not yet married a wife, I don't know if he is afraid of ruining a human life.
However, Prime Minister Du Qiande and his daughter Du Yongshuang are exceptions, but what is puzzling is that whether it is the empress dowager, the emperor or the king of Jing, du Yongshuang, who is also talented and beautiful, is not sensitive to Du Yongshuang.
But Wu Xi'en asked everyone to laugh at the rumors of the death of the ghost but it was useless, several old ladies still chatted vividly, and now they even talked about marriage.
"Xi En, I see my grandson, you will marry, otherwise, I am very worried that the empress dowager will hit you with her ideas."
Old Lady Qin said that others were also anxious to recommend their own unmarried men.
"No, Xi'en rarely attends royal banquets, I only have contacts with you guys, she is low-key, at most those of us in the palace know that she has excellent medical skills..." The old lady Jun was actually quite worried, but she thought about it again and again, thinking that Xi'en should not be noticed by the empress dowager.
Speaking of this, she suddenly noticed that the housekeeper was hurrying to come and talk to Grandma Lin who was standing at the door, Grandma Lin hurriedly walked into the flower hall, and said something to her in her ear, she quickly got up from her chair, asked these old friends to talk first, signaled Wu Xi'en to go out with her, xiao xia and Xiao Duo naturally followed behind.
A group of four people came to the small hall, and the old lady Jun immediately told Wu Xi'en what Aunt Lin said.
But she didn't have time to open her mouth, and Xiao Xia, who was quick to speak behind her, had already grabbed the white, "Princess Shizi is uncomfortable, and she wants the young lady to go and see her, but when we saw her earlier, she seemed obviously very good." ”
Xiao Duo nodded in agreement.
The old lady Jun immediately glanced at them, "Unruly, who let you talk more." ”
"Slaves are convicted." The two immediately confessed their mistakes.
The old lady Jun shook her head and looked at Wu Xi'en, who loved her most, "You spoil these two maidens, they are always no big or small, and they don't know their identity." ”
"Taijun don't be angry, they have been with me since they were young, they have helped me a lot, Taijun also knows that I like to learn a lot of new things, and the two of them are tired of helping me run errands."
She softly soothed, at the same time saw Xiao Xia and Xiao Duo behind the old lady Jun apologizing to her, she smiled and blinked, indicating that it was okay, she really cherished them, thinking of their kindness to her before being reborn, but in the end they died, she regarded them as sisters, naturally a lot of maintenance.
Just, go to the Liang King's Mansion? That was where she vowed never to set foot in again after she was born again!
Over the past few years, Liang Wenqin has used many names to invite her to the palace, but she has refused.
"Just go and see her, a few days ago she was upset and came to me, maybe she was depressed, you persuaded her, and also told her, what she said, I will consider it."
When the old lady saw her confused, she still couldn't help but tell her, although she originally wanted to hide it from her, and this matter was not easy to talk about in front of those old friends, and she also understood how long their tongues were.
Wu Shiyuan has no news because of her belly, and the position of the main room is getting more and more unstable, so she hopes to find a sister from the palace to marry as a concubine, in addition to giving birth to a baby for her, the sisters can also help each other, so as not to let the concubines who already have children bully.
"Among the few sisters of yours, you are the best, and once you are married, those concubines will dare to give your cousins another look, and although I am old, I will not be dizzy in my old age, and I can see that the son of the world also likes you."
Wu Xi'en's heart fluttered with fear, and she was worried that the old lady would say something that would make her life fall into the abyss of despair again.
"Not only is your great aunt hurting her, but also the talent of Shizi, the wealth is great, the conditions are really excellent, he is interested in you, he will never let you be wronged, and you are kind and intelligent, and you will be able to help Shiyuan."
"Does the Great Aunt want Taijun to let me marry him?" She heard the meaning of the old lady's words and asked nervously.
"Yes, but I really don't want to, but what they said is also true, Shizi is indeed the best candidate to look at the capital at present." The old lady Jun admitted that although she was very reluctant to let this sweet child become someone else's concubine, she was going to marry sooner or later, and ordinary people were not worthy of her.
"No, I'd rather be with Taijun for the rest of my life." Her tone was firm.
"Silly girl, what stupid things to say, but if you don't want to, I won't force you, I'm not willing to give up than you--" She clapped her hand lovingly, "just go and see Shiyuan, tell her that I plan to let the golden lady of the fourth room marry her, maybe her heart disease can be solved." ”
She nodded, it seems that it is not possible not to take this trip, although her efforts at least make the old lady jun more unwilling, but she is afraid that fate will return to the original trajectory again, so how should she face it?
Summer has passed, early autumn, all over the mountains changed color, orange layers of maple red dotted all over the mountains, located in the suburbs of the capital Liang Wangfu covers an extremely wide area, it is reported that Liang Wang's nature does not like to be lively, coupled with his wife's body and bones have been poor, these years and can not move to dye the wind and cold, so moved to the warmer south, except in the shizi Liang Wenchenna side concubine once came back to live for a few days, he did not return to Beijing.
The magnificent carriage entered the palace compound, and in the years after the rebirth, she had never been here, and here were her blood and tears and the past that could not be looked back, but... Why is this scene so familiar?
In the garden on the right hand side, two young ladies were playing while sprinkling, and when they saw her, they opened their mouths.
After the old manager of the mansion greeted her with a smile, he inadvertently saw the two servants looking directly at her, and hurriedly drank, "This is the Xi'en girl of the Gonggong Palace, who will not perform ceremonies?" ”
The two hurriedly saluted, "I have seen Lady Xi'en." ”
The boss apologized to her again, "The slave who did not have long eyes offended the girl of Xi'en, and asked the girl for forgiveness." ”
She said in a difficult voice, "It's all right, what happened to Princess Shizi?" ”
"Princess Shizi suddenly fainted, although she woke up, but she couldn't swallow, but Shizi Grandpa was not there, so she bothered To see Aunt Xi'en."
She followed the pace of the general manager nervously, but she did not want to see the trees and flowers here, but how could the scene in front of her be so familiar, as if she had seen it... She thought and thought, gasped sharply, and her scalp tingled. Oh dear! It was this death that she lost her body and was not impressed!
The footsteps stopped in horror, and she was already standing in the doorway of her cousin's room.
"Please, Lady Sheon."
The words of the general manager sounded behind her, she could only force herself to step into the door, but she couldn't help but look back, yes, Xiao Xia and Xiao Duo originally followed each other.
Entering this palatial bedroom, looking at a few orchids on the table, on the tea tray of blue and white porcelain, there were also a few dishes that had never been touched, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Oh my God, the scene was exactly the same as that day!
Next, will the two girls be reprimanded by the cousin? She recalled in horror everything that had happened.
"Xiao Xia and Xiao Duo both went down, and I had some thoughtful words to say to my sister." Wu Shiyuan lay weakly on the bed.
Xiao Xia had to put down the medicine box in his hand and follow Xiao Duo to retreat first.
Wu Xi'en's dry throat could not make a sound to ask them to stay, and the chief steward who remained at the door and the servant of the cousin had also left, but there was another close servant in the room, who had also been one of the helpers who helped the cousin to torture and kill her.
She tugged at her heart and watched as the cousin who was lying on the soft bed sat up, leaned back on the bed, and brought her a cup of warm tea to drink.
She did not dare to drink, her hands were slightly trembling, in her memory, she lost consciousness after drinking this cup of tea, and she did not practice medicine at that time, and drank it foolishly, but now she faintly smelled a medicinal smell from the tea fragrance.
"I'm not thirsty."
With a pale face, she put the teacup in her hand back on the table, and she must never repeat the same mistakes, never!
Wu Shiyuan couldn't help but be frightened, quickly exchanged a glance with Ya Gui, and then squeezed out a smile to look at Wu Xi'en, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, "The Gonggong Mansion also has a long way to get here, first drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst..."
"It doesn't matter, isn't the cousin uncomfortable?" I'll take a pulse for you, prescribe a prescription, and go back home, I still have something to do. She squeezed out a smile and reached out to lift the futon on her cousin's body, to take the pulse for her.
