Lose the lights and spend another night

The Shen family didn't know which evil god they had collided with these days, the eldest lady Shen Yingsheng had smallpox soon after, and the second lady Shen Yingyan contracted smallpox again.

When the doctor told about the diagnosis, the madam fainted in an instant. If it wasn't for the woman next to her with sharp eyesight and quick hands, the madam's face would be smashed to pieces.

When the lord rushed back, the madam had just woken up, and when she saw him, she cried and knelt down in front of him, "Husband, save our Yan'er, save Yan'er."

The lord was extremely astonished, and while helping his wife up, he asked the doctor beside him who was carefully administering the medicine to Ying Yan, "What's wrong with Yan'er?"

The doctor replied tremblingly: "My lord, it is... smallpox..."

"What?!" Hearing this news, not only the adults panicked, Yingsheng also felt his heart tremble when he stepped into the room with me.

Ying Yan lying on the bed heard the bad news again, she cried out in despair: "Daddy, I don't want to be pockmarked, and I don't want to die either, Daddy, please save me, save me!"

Whether this disease can survive or not depends entirely on God's will.

Yingsheng's survival is already a blessing from his ancestors, but he never thought that Yingyan would also be infected with this evil disease!

What can my lord do?He doesn't know, he really doesn't know.

"Medication, what kind of medicine should be used, don't waste it! Use it!" The lord came back to his senses, and said to the doctor in a panic, "Even if it costs me everything, as long as I can save Yan'er's life, nothing is important!"

When Madam heard these words, she looked at the lord tremblingly, and finally there was a trace of warmth in her eyes.

"Miss, don't be afraid, my Shen Mu daughter's life is hard! If Sheng'er can carry it, Yan'er will surely be able to carry it!" The lord didn't know what to say to comfort his wife, so he looked at her firmly. Ling Yan, "Yan'er, you have to be as brave as your elder sister, you can survive through it, you can do it!"

"I'm afraid... Daddy, I'm afraid..." Yingyan felt itchy on her neck and couldn't help scratching, "I don't want to have a pockmarked face, oh..."

"Second sister, don't scratch!" Yingsheng walked over one step ahead of me, grabbed Yingyan's hand, and said softly, "Sister, blow it to you, it won't itch anymore, don't scratch it, it will really hurt if you scratch it." It's disfigured."

"Eldest sister..." Yingyan couldn't believe what she heard and what she saw, she had always been in love with Yingsheng, she never thought that at this moment, Yingsheng would bend down desperately to blow on her itchy place.

Her heart softened, Yingyan suddenly quieted down, she stared blankly at Yingsheng, her eyes suddenly turned red, she seemed to have thought of something, she quickly pushed Yingsheng, "Elder sister...you just recovered soon...let me Just serve me as a servant girl... I don't want to pass it on to you again..."

Yingsheng smiled, and touched Yingyan's hot head, "Maids are also human, and they will be afraid..." As she spoke, her smile became a little warmer, "But I am different, I am a smoker. My eldest sister, you and I are both sisters, the eldest sister will not just watch you become pockmarked... hey..." Yingsheng noticed that I had rolled up my sleeves, as if I wanted to take care of the second young lady with her. She looked at me seriously, "Huanxi..." After she called me, she felt a little inappropriate, so she quickly changed her name, "Auntie, you lost a lot of weight due to my torture last time, and you haven't recovered yet , so this time I will take care of Yan'er..."

I seriously shook my head, how could I let Yingsheng mess around like this?Smallpox is no small disease!

Yingsheng pushed my hand away, and said: "I asked the doctor about it, I got smallpox once, and I will never get smallpox again in my life, so, none of you are allowed to snatch it from me! Sister Yan'er, let me Come and take care!"

"Doctor..." The lord looked at the doctor in doubt.

The doctor nodded, and said, "Miss did ask the old man."

The adults couldn't bear it, but after thinking about it carefully, if Yingsheng took care of Yingyan, it would indeed make the relationship between the two sisters closer.

When adults were in a dilemma, Madam hesitated and said, "No... I want to keep Yan'er to take care of... After all, it's my flesh and blood..."

"Could it be that I will hurt my sister?" Yingsheng is no longer the Yingsheng of the past. Hearing another meaning in Madam's words, she coldly interrupted Madam's words, and replied with something to say, "I am Shen family's first daughter, I won't be so stupid as to kill my own sister, and leave a bad name reviled by thousands of people! Mother, are you right?"

"you……"

"Alright, let Sheng'er take care of Yan'er!"

The adult was worried that the two would quarrel, so he hastily interrupted their conversation. As the head of the family, the orders he uttered were unchangeable.

The doctor interjected: "Second Miss's body is stronger than Eldest Miss's. As long as she takes care of her properly, I believe Second Miss will be auspicious."

Madam wanted to say something, but was suppressed by the adult's sharp eyes.

I want to hold Yingsheng's hand and tell her that I am worried about her and I want to be with her, but Yingsheng is not prepared to give me such a chance.

"Aunt Huanxi... I'm tired today too... Go back and rest quickly..." After finishing speaking, Yingsheng looked at me with a smile, "It's been several years since I took out the glazed lantern that I won that year. I don’t know if it’s good or not? If you go back and see it, you can light it up and hang it in the corner of the small pavilion for me, so I can feel more at ease.”

How could I not understand the meaning of Yingsheng?

Since she said that she would take care of the second lady herself, she would do her best to do so, so she would not come back these days.But she was also worried that I would be bullied, so she asked me to use the lamp to send a message. If it is safe, I will light it up, and if there is something wrong, I will not light it up, so that she can feel at ease.

I know that if Yingsheng's temper becomes stubborn, no one will be able to stop her. Apart from following her, what else can I do for her?

Those maids and servants in the family were most afraid of being infected with smallpox by Yingsheng a few days ago, but now the second lady has also got it, and they don't need them to take care of her closely, which is the best thing.

In the end, Yingsheng lived in the small pavilion of the second young lady.

The doctor also came back frequently, but he never took a close look at the condition of the second young lady, but only took a look at it from a distance, and then continued to prescribe prescriptions, instructing the servant how to make the medicine.

That day, I went back to Yingsheng's small pavilion and dug out the glazed lamp from the cabinet. When night fell, I couldn't wait to light up the lamp, and hung it on the corner of the eaves with my own hands on a bamboo pole.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in August is the night of reunion.

I looked at the bright moon like a jade plate, and felt a bit bleak.

I know better than anyone how hard it is to take care of a smallpox patient. Can Yingsheng handle it?

This can be regarded as my first farewell to Yingsheng. Although we are in the same mansion, it feels farther than the end of the world.

i miss her...

When it was time to rest, I walked to Yingsheng's bed, sat down, hugged the brocade quilt covered by Yingsheng, and sniffed the faint fragrance left on it.

It was the first time I realized that I was used to falling asleep with Yingsheng in my arms every night.

I'm used to Yingsheng's breathing, I'm used to Yingsheng's breath, I'm used to Yingsheng's smiling face, and I'm used to Yingsheng's occasional intoxicating "nonsense".

What should I do if one day I never see you again?

This thought suddenly popped into my mind, I couldn't help but gasped, and fell on Yingsheng's bed with the brocade quilt in my arms, feeling a chill in my heart.

What else can I do besides making some medicinal food for Yingsheng every day?

I smiled wryly, shook my head, and another thought came to me—yes!I have one more thing to do!

At that moment, I let go of the brocade quilt in my arms, and ran out of the small pavilion with the hem of my skirt.

"Miss Yi, where are you going?!"

The maids on the road were taken aback by my haste, but I didn't bother to write them an explanation.

I ran all the way outside the ancestral hall of the Shen residence, slowed my shortness of breath, and stepped in respectfully—this place enshrines the ancestors and elders of the Shen family, including my most respected and beloved young lady, Bai Shengniang.

I found the tablet of the eldest lady, and silently knelt down in front of the tablet.

I hope that the eldest lady will bless Yingsheng and let Yingsheng come back safely.

If so, I would rather lose ten years of my life.

I kowtowed three times, and made a wish devoutly.

Maybe I was too involved and didn't notice a familiar figure quietly walking behind me.

"In this mansion, only you have this kind of heart."

When the adult's voice sounded, I turned my head in shock, and fixedly watched the adult kneeling beside me.

He clasped his hands together devoutly, looked at the tablets of ancestors of past dynasties, and kowtowed three times, "Shen Mu is unfilial, and there are only two daughters and one son under his knees, but this year, the family has been in power, and the daughter has been sick one after another. Protect Sheng'er and Yan'er, don't let them suffer from the disease again."

If I encounter this kind of time alone with adults on weekdays, I will always look for opportunities to avoid or retreat.

But not now, if I leave, everything I did just now would be too impious, besides, this is not the time to consider my status and situation, I am here to pray for Yingsheng, I must be sincere.

So, this time, I didn't avoid the lord, just nodded slightly to the lord, and continued to kneel there with my hands folded to pray for Ying Sheng.

Seeing that I didn't leave again, the lord frowned slightly, sighed in relief, and quietly began to pray for blessings.

"What is she! Dare to kneel beside the adults..."

"That's right, she's just a professed righteous sister, a lowly slave who can't get into the genealogy, how dare she openly enter the ancestral hall to pray for blessings..."

In the empty courtyard outside the ancestral hall, the lady who wanted to pray for Yingyan froze in place. After quietly listening to the two women talking about me, she twitched the corners of her lips coolly, turned around and went to go back.

"Ma'am, why don't you go in?"

"The days will be long, and the eye-catching things will disappear..." Madam finished coldly, with a frightening murderous intent flashing in her eyes, "Yan'er is still sick, I want to save some blessings for Yan'er temporarily... Wait for her Get well..." As she said that, Madam stopped suddenly, turned her head and gave me another look, "After all, the Yuan Sheng I gave birth to is the eldest son of the Shen family!"

The author has something to say: Yingsheng is a kind child since childhood.
