The Mighty First Wife of the Red Chamber

It is said that the people in Jia's mansion were secretly amazed when they saw that Lian's second grandmother, who was so jealous and jealous, went to the old lady herself and told one of her dowry maids to be a housemaid with Jia Lian. Some of them were punished before. Those who used to be at odds with her or who were on the opposite side, such as Mrs. Xing's people, Youshi's people, and even Mrs. Wang's people, quietly spread rumors beside her, saying: "You haven't heard Is it? Lian’s second grandma’s maid washes the blood on her trousers every day? It is said that Lian’s second grandma’s blood has not been broken after her miscarriage. Looking at this situation, let alone whether she will be pregnant or not in the future, she may not be able to survive. She can keep it. No matter how unvirtuous she is, what can she do? At that time, she will be buried with a handful of bones, and the second master of Lian will marry a new man? So, no matter how strong your temper is, it can't be stronger than a word of fate! Wait! Look, there must be something exciting behind us that we couldn't have imagined!"

Xia Ye just doesn't know, rumors only stop at wise men, these are rough servants and women, it's no fun to win a verbal battle, why don't you come to something real, and firmly shut the mouths of those people.Therefore, Xia Ye has not been idle these days, and went to the space again. After reading medical books and comparing her own symptoms, Xia Ye decided to use motherwort to treat her small problem of postpartum lochia.

Motherwort is a one-year or two-year-flowering herb in summer. If it is used as medicine, it is usually picked when the lush flowers are not fully bloomed in summer, and it is already early winter. Fortunately, there is space, and there is no difference between the four seasons of the year. All kinds of lush plants and herbs are growing in a magical treasure mountain at any time. Xia Ye successfully picked two fresh motherwort, checked the medical books, and memorized a prescription before leaving satisfied.

According to the prescription in the medical book, Xia Ye asked Ping'er to call a woman, and went to the medicine shop outside to mix other medicines, such as white peony root, angelica, Chuanxiong, Zeilan, salvia miltiorrhiza, nepeta, etc., plus picking in the space The fresh motherwort that came in was synthesized into a decent motherwort cream. Although the taste is bitter and cold, drinking it makes people feel nauseous, but the effect is very good.But in three days, Xia Ye's dripping brown blood, which was always dirty, finally stopped, and the rumors that the servants were muttering about Lian's second grandma "collapsed in blood, and she will die early in the future" gradually disappeared.

As for Jia Lian, Xia Ye counted the days and guessed that the effect of the medicine was about to take effect, and it was time for him to suffer.

However, if Jia Lian were to wither, he would inevitably have to extrapolate to the diet adjustments these days, and he might suspect that the bowl of ginseng soup that An'er brought him was served, so he had to be prepared in advance.

As Xia Ye thought about it, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

In the afternoon of this day, Xia Ye ordered Ping'er to follow her to the Grand View Garden.

The Grand View Garden is indeed the villa of the imperial concubine visiting relatives. Within three or five steps, there is a unique scenery, such as trees, flowers, mountains, water, bridges or pavilions, with pavilions and pavilions hidden in it. Seeing the fairyland, Xia Ye admired it in his heart from time to time.

Ping'er, who was with Second Mistress, felt a little bored, not because of anything else, but because of An'er's affairs.In the past few days, An'er has been promoted to be Lian's second master's housemaid. Not only is the second master lingering in her room for days, but the second grandmother has also given her many rewards in a friendly manner. Inevitably, swarms of bees rushed to serve the celebrity in front of Lian's second master, and Ping'er, who had always been peaceful, couldn't help but feel disappointed, thinking: I have always been trusted by my second grandma, knowing that Grandma doesn't like people getting close to Second Master, and she tries to avoid asking Second Master to touch her as much as possible, just to avoid getting in the way of Second Grandma's eyes and not wanting to see her in the future.However, even though she was so careful, the Second Mistress still made An'er the housemaid, but how could she live in her heart?

Xia Ye saw the reason for the worry in Ping'er's eyebrows, squeezed her arm that was supporting her, sighed quietly, and said, "You think I raised An'er to show my virtuousness? Name? Or do you think that I really can't get along in this mansion, so I have to?"

Ping'er hurriedly calmed down, and said: "Your maidservant dare not speculate on your master's mind, this servant only knows that Second Mistress is very thoughtful, and what Second Mistress can do must be a surefire way."

Xia Ye twisted her pretty face, and said: "Your mouth is really a coincidence, but from now on, you don't have to say such flattering words, just be sincere."

Ping'er lowered his head and said, "Yes."

Xia Ye stared intently at the lake in the distance, and then said after a while: "Do you know that there is a saying that the bow is hidden when the birds are exhausted? That is to say, in order to hunt birds, take out the bows and arrows you have collected, and take out those annoying birds that scream and scream. After the shooting is over, the bow and arrow will be useless and must be put away."

Ping'er's thoughts turned, and she seemed to understand the deep meaning of Second Mistress.

Xia Ye patted the back of her hand, and said meaningfully: "I am shooting birds now, but I am reluctant to use your bow because I think you treat me with sincerity, so I will replace it with An'er." Don't look at her complacency now, but in the future...heh..."

Ping'er was terrified, and at the same time said with gratitude: "Second Grandma..." She wanted to say something thankful, but she couldn't, so she just looked at Second Grandma in a daze.

Xia Ye met her eyes indifferently, and said: "I have never been a good person. But, at least, I am a person who knows the good and bad of people's hearts. If people treat me well, I will return three points, and people will treat me badly." , I also pay three points. That's it."

Xia Ye arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and saw Xue Baochai here, talking to Lin Daiyu: ["I saw your prescription yesterday, and I think there is too much ginseng and cinnamon. Although it can nourish Qi and nourish the spirit, it should not be too hot. According to me: the first thing is to calm the liver and nourish the stomach. Once the liver fire is calmed, the soil cannot be suppressed, and the stomach qi is healthy, and the diet can support people. Get up early every day, take a tael of high-quality bird’s nest, five coins of rock sugar, and use silver spoons I have to get used to eating the porridge made from the bird’s nest. It is better than medicine, and it is the most nourishing yin and Qi. I will go home and tell my mother tomorrow. I am afraid that the bird’s nest will

There are still some at home, and I will give you a few taels.It's cheap to call the girls every day, and it doesn't shock the teachers and mobilize the crowd. "] (Excerpt from Chapter 45 of the original work)

Xia Ye interjected with a smile, and said, "I've heard that Miss Bao is knowledgeable about the past and present, but I didn't expect that she also knows the art of medicine?"

Baochai and Daiyu turned their heads together, looked at Lian's second sister-in-law who came in from the door, and said with a smile: "Lian's second sister-in-law is here."

Baochai was sitting on Daiyu's bed. At this time, she stood up gracefully as a gesture of respect. Daiyu had a cough and was ill. She was leaning half of her body on the bed. After saluting, Xia Ye rushed quickly, pressed her shoulders, and said, "Little sister, rest, we are all from our own family, why do we need to see outsiders?"

Daiyu was really sick, so she could only continue to lean on the bed in apology.After a while, Daiyu's maids, Zijuan and Xueyan, came over, and Daiyu hurriedly said, "Why don't you bring a stool for your second grandma, please sit down?"

Zijuan hurriedly responded with a smile, and Xueyan and Xueyan both sat on the embroidered pier and served a cup of tea on a tea tray, then slowly retreated, and took Ping'er to another room for tea and snacks .

Xia Ye sat down, and said to Daiyu with a smile: "I heard that my sister is sick again, and I have been wanting to come to see her, but my own health is not good, so it has been delayed until now. Sister sent bird's nest?"

Baochai was a little embarrassed, and her face turned red. She always loves to win people's hearts with small favors. Although this Lin Daiyu lives in Jia's mansion, she usually wins the favor of the old lady, and she is arrogant and unforgiving. She was squeezed out by this girl Lin, and she was finally subdued because of her mistake of saying the obscene words in the West Chamber during the order, so today she took advantage of the heat to sacrifice such a tactic to buy people's hearts. Thinking of such bad luck, Lian's second sister-in-law was actually bumped into by her!

Sure enough, Xia Ye immediately said: "Miss Bao herself is also a guest, but she worries about the complicated and trivial matters in our mansion. Not only that, but she also spends money. Where can I put my face as the head of the family?"

Baochai said with a dry smile, "Second sister-in-law Lian is overthinking. I was anxious because I saw that Lian'er was not in good health. I wanted to tell second sister-in-law to go, but I thought that second sister-in-law was ill, so I couldn't help worrying about it. It's not good for you to support yourself, and I used to get along well with Sister Lin, so it's nothing to give her a few taels of bird's nest."

Daiyu is also a glass-hearted person, seeing that the second sister-in-law smiled and spoke with sharpness in her words, she seemed a little worried about Sister Bao's actions just now, so she said obediently: "Yes, it's rare that Sister Bao is thinking of me, Xie Er remembers your love very much. However, bird's nest and ginseng are precious medicinal materials. If Sister Bao gives away at will without consulting with her family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain. Besides, my diet and medicine have always been given by my second sister-in-law. I'm in charge, and I'll use the things you brought without letting Second Sister-in-law know, see, Second Sister-in-law won't be happy!"

In order to cover up the signs of bickering, everyone laughed, knowing each other well.Xia Ye said: "That's not the case. It's just that I have the responsibility of being a family member. If there is any negligence, my sisters will remind me. Just open your mouth if you lack anything. Don't bear it yourself. I can't take care of other things." Forgive Zhou, sister Lin is the old lady's favorite person, she dare not be careless at all. Is it bird's nest? I still keep a few catties of good quality bird's nest that I bought last time, so I simply gave half of it to my sister and gave another set The silver spoon made of bird’s nest soup is specially made, and Zijuan Xueyan is watching over it, and eating a little in the interval between lunch and dinner every day is the most nourishing and invigorating.”

Baochai found it boring, struck up a few words, and then left on the pretext that she had something to do, Xia Ye didn't leave her behind, and said with a smile: "Then you go, I will visit your mother some other day." Baochai's mother Xue My aunt was originally Wang Xifeng's little aunt, she stayed in Jia's mansion and never left. She obviously had a house and land in the capital, but she wanted to come and live there just to get Jia Baoyu's idea, but she was so tired The current Xia Ye had no choice but to be polite to them on the open face, and had to walk around from time to time.

After Baochai left, Daiyu thanked Xia Ye all over her mouth and said, "Second sister-in-law, thank you. I didn't want anything from other houses at first, but I couldn't shirk it, as if I looked down on her. I also used There are not so many bird's nests, but the second sister-in-law should keep them to take care of herself."

Xia Ye stared intently at Lin Daiyu's face, thinking, later generations generally speculate that Daiyu died of tuberculosis, which is commonly known as tuberculosis in later generations, is this true?
