[Red Mansions] The big maid struggles daily

Mother's Grace

"Why did you fall ill?" Jia Min supported the girl's hand, covered her chest as she walked, and said anxiously, "Hurry up and invite the doctor."

"I have invited a doctor, and the doctor said that the foundation is too ruthless, unless there is a good medicine to replenish vitality, otherwise I will just suffer..."

Panting, Jia Min stopped, her own body was at the end of her strength, and although she could hold on outside for the time being, she was already rotten inside, Mother Zhu was her backing and support for Daiyu, why? Can it be destroyed here?

"What is it, you start from the beginning!"

"Madam Zhu caught the wind and cold in the carriage, and she didn't recover when she passed Linqing and changed to a boat. The old slave was afraid, and she was in a hurry to go on the boat, so she couldn't stop to seek medical treatment. After delaying these times, she got off the boat. At that time, Nanny Zhu could no longer leave by herself."

Jia Min's almond-shaped eyes sharpened: "Didn't you invite a doctor during the carriage? Didn't you invite me when you changed ships?"

The nanny bowed her head and dared not make a sound.

When Jia Min was still about to talk, five or six nuns and maids walked over surrounded by Lin Daiyu.Seeing her daughter, Jia Min swallowed the scolding again.

Lin Daiyu, a little girl of four or five years old, bowed in a dignified way, and then said: "I heard that Mrs. Qin said that Madam Zhu is ill, and my wife is going to visit?" She held Jia Min's hand tenderly , obviously also wanted to visit Zhu Mama.

Jia Min squinted her eyes, and lightly glanced at Nanny Qin who was standing with her hands down, and Nanny Qin's daughter-in-law who followed Daiyu. This was a big heart, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wanted to control Yu'er, but they couldn't do it.

Nanny Qin lowered her head, raised it again and smiled apologetically, "Miss is weak, don't get sick, Madam let the old slave take Miss back?"

Jia Min didn't answer, but ordered the housekeeper who was following behind: "Ask Nanny Wang to take care of the girl's daily life. From now on, Nanny Wang will take care of all the big and small things in the girl's room."

Although Lin Daiyu was young, she was born with a delicate heart. When she heard the words, she knew that there was something wrong between the nanny Qin Nanny and her daughter-in-law Qin Sister-in-law, so she didn't interrupt.

Jia Min ignored the two of them, and straightened her daughter's sideburns. She changed her mind, and took Daiyu's hand to see Mother Zhu together.

Madam Zhu's face was sallow, but luckily her consciousness was still clear.

Jia Min asked the doctor again through the screen, and the doctor still said that there are rare medicines for nourishing qi, such as poria cocos, three-two-fold ginseng, red lucidum, and purple lucidum.

Nanny Zhu took a deep breath and was about to stand up to speak, but Jia Min hurriedly ordered the girl to help her up and lean on the pillow.

"Please ask the doctor to go to the study first, and at least prescribe a prescription to take medicine." Jia Min saw that Madam Zhu had something to say, and ordered the doctor to go to the study to prescribe a prescription.

"Mrs. Lin, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this, but I have something on my mind that I can't let go of. I need to ask Madam for help." Madam Zhu lacked strength and spoke slowly and in a low voice.

"Madam Zhu was exhausted from running around for my family. Don't worry, I will send someone to invite another doctor, and it will be fine."

Nanny Zhu waved her hand slowly, these consoling words were nothing more, she had to finish what she had to say: "So that Mrs. Lin would know that I adopted a adopted daughter in your natal Rongguo Mansion, that child is well-behaved and intelligent, Jia Laofeng Jun promised that the eldest daughter of the Jia family would give me the birth certificate of the child after she enters the palace... I am afraid that I will not be able to wait any longer, so I beg my wife to pick up my daughter and send it to the Jinxiu silk and satin shop on Gulou West Street in Duzhong."

She also motioned to the servant girl to take out a mahogany box from her carry-on salute, "In this box are my ladders and embroidered scores over the years, all of which are left to my daughter." As she spoke, she slowly took out a green jade ring from her bosom, and put it in the box. Put it in the hand of the servant girl and ask her to give it to Daiyu, saying: "This jasper panchi ring was given by Queen Hui that day. Give it to the girl to play with, and keep it in mind."

When Jia Min heard that Mammy Zhu had adopted a daughter in her natal family, and that she had to take care of her daughter after she became ill, she couldn't help but empathize with her, tears streaming down her eyes.

Seeing that she gave her daughter the jade rings that she had successively rewarded, she was even more grateful and agreed again and again.

Mother Zhu knew people's hearts very well, she was afraid something would happen to her after she closed her eyes, she said again: "Madam, please retreat from others, there is something I want to say to Madam..."

Jia Min ordered the servant girl Haosheng to take Daiyu out, leaving only herself and the housekeeper in the room.

Only then did Zhu Nanny tell the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion who asked the red shepherd to teach the eldest girl, the sudden death of the eldest girl's nanny, and the second master's acceptance of new appointments. That Shi Taijun was too thoughtful, and she wanted to guard against the old lady of the Jia family. Feng Jun instigated Jia Min to change his mind.

"If it weren't for my current situation, I would have kept these things in my stomach for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't let others know about them. But I guessed in my heart that my wife might have the intention of marrying my daughter back to her mother's house. I have been there for many days, and that Mrs. Wang Bold and arrogant, and seems to have suspicions against you... If one day, Lao Fengjun goes away, then Miss Lin... I will become a mother too, I understand Madam's thoughts, but I still have to advise Madam to be cautious."

Jia Min was so shocked that her tears stopped, and her heart was like a stormy wave hitting the shore, "This! This..."

Mother Zhu rested for a while, and then said again: "Madam has not been back for many years, you might as well ask someone to inquire carefully, the family is very extensive, even the children on the street know that there is a Hanyu who was born in Rongfu. Brother, my brother caught rouge at the age of one, and he also loves to eat rouge, and he only likes to play with his sisters..."

She was totally unaware of this, every time she went to Beijing to give presents and came back, Nanny Qin and others said that the flowers were full of flowers, and even her mother felt the same way.

Grandma Zhu gave another dose of harsh medicine, "Mr. Jia Laofeng often brought his niece and grandniece to live and eat with that elder brother who was born with jade. Before I returned to Yangzhou, the old lady had already taken the grand-niece to live with him. The girl received her home for the New Year, and she seems to have plans to stay at home for a long time..."

Suddenly the topic changed: "It should be easy to teach and guide the girl, but I have this disease... When the madam ordered my daughter to be sent to the silk shop, she only needed to order, and someone would find another maid for the house." Come on, so I can serve and guide the girl."

Having said that, as long as Mrs. Lin still loves her own daughter, she will fish out Xiu'er and send it to her uncle.

Jia Min's heart was in a state of disarray, so Mammy Zhu had a hard time resting, so she helped the housekeeper's hand back to the main room.

Zhu Mama said a lot of words here, she was already exhausted, she collapsed on the bed after being given two mouthfuls of medicine.

People's words are good when they are about to die. Although Madam Zhu said these things, although she meant to separate Shi Taijun's mother and daughter, the unpaid is not for Lin Daiyu's consideration.

Grandma Zhu thought of Nanny He again as she lay down, laughing at herself that she just stood by and watched, and now she has such karma.Just give her another chance to do it all over again, she will still only watch He Momo die by herself.

Mother He's behavior made Mother Zhu feel dangerous.She is too greedy, she clearly knows that Mrs. Rongguo Mansion is tough, and she is still greedy for the money and refuses to withdraw.Such a person, at one time, would risk her money because of the danger and still rely on Rongguo Mansion, but at another time, someone who cared about her could use the money to knock her mouth open.

As long as she opens her mouth, in order to slander Jia Yuanchun and the head of the palace where he lives, those people will keep the useful Nanny He, and let the two of them go to the west together without knowing it.One witness is enough, and there are many anti-increasing variables.

Zhu Nanny thought drowsily, He Nanny couldn't see herself clearly, she raised herself too high, she thought that she was a slave in the palace, but she could become a nobleman when she left the palace?In the eyes of these princes and wives, they are still just slaves who can call themselves "I".

-

Jia Min was in a state of surprise, his mood fluctuated greatly, and the medicine he had taken before could not bear it, and he vomited with a "wow".The maid in the main courtyard hurried up and beat her back.

The housekeeper called Lin An's family, knowing that what happened today really hit his wife's heart. The eldest girl and her mother's family have always been against her.He didn't dare to persuade him deeply, he packed up the vomit medicine himself, and said: "Madam, don't think too much, write to Mrs. Shi and make a decision before it's too late."

Jia Min believed it halfway in her heart. She was startled that her mother's family had no rules and was cruel and ruthless. She was also sad that the weight of a married woman in her mother's heart was not as high as she thought. Unreliable...

Since the second sister-in-law has evil intentions, she will definitely not act recklessly on this matter, let alone other things, just say that she is the head wife of the Rongguo Mansion, and just a little hint can make her daughter suffer.When the time comes, will the mother be the mother who protects the precious grandson, or will she favor the granddaughter?

You don't need to think about it at all, you know how the mother will choose, the granddaughter is an outsider after all.If you don't make a fuss, you will probably just pretend not to know.Jia Min couldn't contain her grief, and couldn't help but wonder if it would be safe to entrust Daiyu to her mother in the future?

"Slow down, girl, be careful of the steps."

Lin Daiyu walked quickly into the Nuan Pavilion, seeing that Jia Min's face was not as good as before, her eyes turned red.

Jia Min hugged her into her arms and patted her comfortingly, then asked Nanny Wang: "Why did Yu'er come out again, she finally stopped coughing, why don't you persuade her."

Grandma Wang is used to speaking frankly and nonchalantly, she has no opinion, so when she heard this, she would kneel down and plead guilty.

Jia Min was even more disappointed, she was the young lady's nanny, no one should be disrespectful, but her own, weak waist would not make things happen.Jia Min felt more and more that only a shrewd and capable person like Madam Zhu could take good care of Daiyu for her.

Daiyu didn't want her mother to worry, so she straightened up from Jia Min's arms, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Ma'am, don't blame Madam Wang, I thought of something that might save Nanny Zhu, so I rushed to send it." .”

Xueyan was holding a gold-painted red rosewood box and put it on the kang table. Jia Min knew what was inside at a glance.

Daiyu said: "We can't eat such a powerful medicinal material. It's better to save people."

It was Jia Min's mother-in-law, Zizhi left by Mrs. Xianlin to her granddaughter.

This kind of medicinal material is rarely found in anyone's family. If it happens to appear somewhere, it will be used as auspiciousness.

Jia Min didn't want to part with it, even if it wasn't right, it's better to keep it for self-defense.Yu'er has a pure heart, and she didn't know how to tell her daughter for a while.

After pondering back and forth for a long time, he said, "That's all!" He ordered Lin An's family to hold it in person and ask the doctor.

The doctor was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly took a piece the size of a thumb to replace the ten-year ginseng, and put the rest back in the box for Lin An's family to take back.

This medicine is just used as a medicine primer, it aims to use its strong qi to stimulate one's own qi, there is no need for a large amount, a small amount is enough.This doctor is worrying about this prescription, and with Zizhi, he is seventy to eighty percent sure.

Grandma Zhu had a strong desire to survive, so she drank the medicine and fell asleep right away.Jia Min also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, when Lin Ruhai came back from the Lantern Festival banquet held by Yangzhou officials, he lamented that the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was getting more and more difficult, and that if he was not careful, his family and life might be in danger. Jia Min felt even more grateful for saving Nanny Zhu.

-

A few days before the Huachao Festival, the items Zhu Xiu entrusted to the silk shop were sent to the concierge of Lin's house. When the mother-in-law delivered them to Mammy Zhu, Jia Min was visiting her.

"Such a burden, it can be seen that she really treats you as a godmother. It is worthwhile for you to love her."

Grandma Zhu was able to get out of bed, she was so happy from ear to ear, she was going to unpack immediately.

I saw two clothes bags and a few small boxes inside.

Jia Min looked at the two jackets and trousers with forehead wiped, shoes and socks, and a purse, and sighed: "Good girl!"

Nanny Zhu read the letter first, then smiled, picked out a pine box, and presented it to Jia Min, "The Huachao Festival is Miss Lin's birthday, and this is a gift from my girl."

Jia Min was surprised that this was a caring person, so she opened the box with her own hands, and saw a few oil-paper packets inside, and a few prescriptions underneath.

Mother Zhu smiled and said, "Mrs. Lin knows that my daughter has some family skills and is quite good at medicine. These oil paper wraps are her medicines. Some are used for smoking, wearing, and stuffing in pillows. Then The few prescriptions below should be her family's medicinal diet prescriptions, which should be good for strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing the middle and replenishing qi. Madam may as well let the doctor have a look, if it is good, you can also use it for the girl..."

-

"Wonderful! Wonderful!" The old doctor pointed to those prescriptions and praised repeatedly, "My lady's pulse is weak, these prescriptions are just right, and they are delicious and can be used as meals, so that the lady will not be able to eat after taking the medicine."

As he was talking, the old doctor was still holding a pill of fragrant medicine and couldn't put it down, "That prescription is good, but the most wonderful thing is the preparation of the medicinal materials in these fragrant pills and ointments. Although I can't see what method is used, it is effective. It's very rare... not only the young lady, but the wife of your mansion can also use some pillows if you don't feel comfortable..."

Jia Min used the incense pillow and smoked pouch, and sure enough, she slept soundly at night, and her body and bones really improved a lot.
