Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 071
"Ma'am, you are finally awake!"
"Aunt is awake?"
Mrs. Wang struggled to open her eyes, and before she could see the situation in front of her clearly, she heard two exclamations in her ears.Without looking closely, Mrs. Wang can easily tell who came from these two exclamations.After she regained her composure, Mrs. Wang unexpectedly saw Jin Chuan and Wang Xifeng approaching her, and four other maidservants a little further away.
Jin Chuan was so happy that he burst into tears. Although the other maids didn't speak, they knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, and kowtowed to Mrs. Wang repeatedly.Wang Xifeng, who was the only one who could be regarded as calm, now had a look of surprise and surprise on her face, coupled with her haggard complexion that was completely different from the past, it moved the usually cold-hearted Mrs. Wang for a moment.
Involuntarily, Mrs. Wang struggled and said: "Feng..." With just one word, Mrs. Wang froze there.
When she first woke up, Mrs. Wang was busy looking at the situation around her, but she ignored her own feelings.Although she only uttered one word at this moment, she felt a pain in her throat like a pinprick. Not only that, but she also felt that her whole body was like being run over by a carriage, every bone and flesh was aching, and she was still in pain With a little soreness, she was so uncomfortable that she wished that someone could help her to massage her right away.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Go get a cup of tea, make it warm. By the way, go to the big kitchen and ask for some glutinous rice soup. By the way, let the big kitchen deliver some easy-to-digest breakfast meals. Quantity You don’t need too much, but you must be pleasantly surprised, remember to bring more different ones, so that your wife can easily choose.” Wang Xifeng was the first to notice that something was wrong with Mrs. Wang, it was not because other people didn’t observe carefully, but because Jin Chuan and others were busy. I wanted to thank God, but I didn't notice this.
Fortunately, after receiving Wang Xifeng's reminder, Jin Chuan immediately came to his senses and hurriedly gave orders.
Rongxi Hall naturally had no shortage of tea, and as soon as Jin Chuan ordered to go down, the little maids came in with tea.When Jin Chuan took the tea, he hesitated slightly, glanced at Wang Xifeng out of the corner of his eye, saw that the latter had no intention of taking credit with her, he was relieved, and brought the teacup that was [-]% full to Mrs. Wang in front of.
Wang Xifeng never thought of competing with a servant girl for any merits. Seeing that someone was serving Mrs. Wang, she simply turned around and went outside to order: "Ping'er, you go and ask someone to guard the second gate. If you see the imperial doctor coming, Immediately bring it here. Then call someone to inform the masters, and say that the wife is lucky, she has woken up, and it seems that there is no serious problem. By the way, the movement should be a little quieter, don't make too much noise However, you just need to pass the words to the master."
Ping'er agreed, and repeated what she said just now, seeing that Wang Xifeng had nothing to add, she quickly left to give orders.
Seeing Ping'er leave, Wang Xifeng returned to the inner room again, pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looked at Mrs. Wang with a surprised and happy expression, and comforted her softly: "Aunt, don't worry, everyone says that you can't die in a catastrophe." There must be future blessings, I saw that you are a very lucky aunt, you can turn bad luck into good luck, and live a long life."
Mrs. Wang had just been helped up by two maids and half leaned on the bed, and took a few sips of tea in Jin Chuan's hand. She just felt a little more comfortable when she heard Wang Xifeng's words, and her complexion changed slightly.What kind of person is Wang Xifeng? How could she, who is a real aunt, not understand?Wang Xifeng has always chosen to speak obediently and auspiciously, but suddenly she changed her style, and she could only say that something happened that she didn't know about.
"Brother Feng, what happened? I..." Madam Wang realized something was wrong after asking halfway through.She clearly remembered that it was less than an hour before noon when she scolded Li Wan and Tanchun.But she glanced at the sunlight coming in through the screen window, and immediately screamed that something was wrong.It seems that the sky is getting dark now, "Is it almost time to hold the lamp?"
"No, no, it's not long after dawn, and it's still a long, long time before it's time to hold the lamp." Although Wang Xifeng said that she hadn't had a good rest all night, Zijuan still pinched her to wake her up.And she didn't dress up carefully, she just put her hair in a simple bun and went to Rongqing Hall.But Jia's mother was not very interested, and when she heard that she wanted to come and see Mrs. Wang, she was very happy to let her go.Therefore, counting the time, now it is only the time to pay your respects on weekdays.
Mrs. Wang's complexion darkened, and she asked in disbelief, "I slept all day and all night?"
"Yes. I also heard what Jin Chuan told me, and I tried to hide it from the old lady as much as possible. But it didn't take long to hide it from the old lady. As long as it was my aunt, you vomited blood. I was so scared that I immediately sent someone to call the imperial doctor. This They came and went, and no one kept it a secret." When Wang Xifeng said this, she had a look of grievance and innocence, although in fact she had no intention of concealing this situation at all, but it is always appropriate to justify a few words for herself.Besides, what she said was correct. The matter of Mrs. Wang's coma had already been spread throughout the Rongguo Mansion, but I don't know if it spread to the outside world.
"Forget it, Jin Chuan, wash for me." Mrs. Wang is not a completely unreasonable person. She never thought that her situation would be so serious, and she was afraid that if things got serious, she would offend Jia Mu for nothing.But since she was seriously ill, it didn't matter if the news spread. Besides, as Wang Xifeng said, she was in a coma for a day and a night, so it was absolutely impossible to hide it.
Jin Chuan agreed, and soon the little maids brought basins and handed out handkerchiefs.Mrs. Wang is so weak now that she can't get out of bed and walk around.Fortunately, after washing up, although his complexion was still very bad, he was more or less refreshed.After the little maid brought breakfast from the big kitchen, Mrs. Wang had a bowl of rice soup, some millet porridge and a few chopsticks of pickles, so she slowed down a bit.
"Brother Feng, come here." Mrs. Wang waved Jin Chuan to remove the things, then called Wang Xifeng to her, and asked, "Tell me, what happened yesterday?"
"What's the matter?" Wang Xifeng looked surprised, "Auntie, you fainted suddenly. Sister-in-law Zhu and the third younger sister are both dying. I wanted to hide it for a while at first, but I can't hide it. I stopped, and I simply told the old lady everything. However, I don't know exactly what happened. Most of them were told by Mrs. Zhu. As for the third sister, it is really useless, except to cry I can't even say a single sentence. I'm useless!"
Wang Xifeng's temperament is no secret in Rongguo Mansion, not to mention Mrs. Wang's direct aunt, even the servants in the mansion think they have figured out her temperament.It's fine to be willful and reckless, with that mouth, it can't be said that she can't speak, but that she will habitually watch people play.
Naturally, Mrs. Wang is also very aware of this.Therefore, Mrs. Wang was not at all annoyed at the fact that Wang Xifeng belittled Tanchun both inside and out, but only said: "What is the identity of the third girl, and what is your identity? If you get angry with her, you will definitely lower your identity." .”
"Yes, what you taught me, auntie." Wang Xifeng nodded obediently, but her temperament meant that she would not be obedient for long.After a while, she blew up again, "Auntie, you don't know how much the third sister cried yesterday, and the whole body was like a tearful person. By the way, what else did she say, if you go, Auntie, She immediately bumped her head to kill you. Listen to this, bad luck is not bad luck! Auntie, you are a lucky person, how can you be like that? Hmph, the old lady is courageous, and sister-in-law Zhu is also a good person. Third sister should be severely punished so that she dares to contradict my aunt next time!"
Mrs. Wang's eyebrows twitched slightly, even though she still didn't understand what happened, but hearing Wang Xifeng's tone, it seemed... Li Wan put all the responsibility on Tanchun? !
Of course, Tanchun is not really an innocent person. After hearing Tanchun's crying and complaining about Li Wan's sophistry yesterday, Mrs. Wang was absolutely equally angry with the two of them.Just think about it, one is the bastard born to her husband and another woman, and the other is the disaster that caused her eldest son to die early.For Mrs. Wang, both are not good things!
"Brother Feng, don't be so quick-tempered. Speak well, I'll listen." Mrs. Wang closed her eyes, resisting the discomfort in her body, and asked, "Tell me first, how does the old lady punish you?" It's spring."
"In the courtyard behind the third younger sister, let's set up a small Buddhist hall, saying that the third younger sister is going to worship Buddha and chant scriptures every day to pray for you, aunt. By the way, I have to copy Buddhist scriptures every day, so that I can't be contaminated with meat. , all the hairpins, rings and accessories were removed, and only one big maid was left by her side, and two rough maids in the yard. The most important thing is that the old lady said clearly that she was not allowed to leave the yard for at least three years and could not participate in the competition. For any banquet at the house, as for what will happen after three years, it depends on her specific performance." Wang Xifeng was originally very eloquent, but now she uttered a long series of words like a cannonball, and she simply didn't say anything , and even more emphatically described the cruelty of the punishment.
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a while and couldn't recover.
"But my aunt is not satisfied? It's okay, the old lady said, I will handle the matter of the third sister in the future. If my aunt is not satisfied, I will go to the other side of the courtyard to teach her a hard lesson later. Otherwise, shall we send her to the nunnery?"
"Don't mess around!" Seeing that Wang Xifeng was about to turn around to order the servants, Mrs. Wang was so startled that she yelled to stop her, but she coughed repeatedly because of choking on her saliva.
"Aunt..." Wang Xifeng bowed his head in a gesture of repentance, and let Jin Chuan step forward to pat Mrs. Wang's back, "Auntie, don't be angry, I will just listen to you."
"You! You say that the wind is the rain, when will you change it!" After a long time, Mrs. Wang finally calmed down, but her spirit became worse and worse, and she gasped again and again, "Remember , do whatever the old lady asks you to do, don't make up your own mind. In the future, if I have any orders, I will tell you directly, don't mess around. "
"Okay." Wang Xifeng is as obedient as he is right now, and he doesn't even have a word of excuse.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang finally felt a little more at ease, but after careful consideration, Mrs. Wang frowned again: "Brother Feng, you mean that the old lady punished the third girl so severely?"
"Yes..." Wang Xifeng's tone was full of hesitation, and his eyes looked around with guilt.Seeing her like this, what else does Mrs. Wang not understand?Now she was angry again, but she couldn't get angry with Wang Xifeng about this matter. The most important thing is that although she is sober now, her body seems to be falling apart. At least for a while, she is unable to take care of things. Still have to rely on Wang Xifeng.
At that moment, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to sigh helplessly: "Brother Feng, it's fine for the people around you, so please don't cause me any trouble. Tell me which ones the old lady ordered and which ones were You made it up on your own?"
"Going to a remote place, reciting scriptures, paying homage to Buddha, copying Buddhist scriptures, and the three-year period are all ordered by the old lady." The implication is that Wang Xifeng added privately to the other actions.
Mrs. Wang naturally understood the meaning of Wang Xifeng's words, and she was so angry that her heart ached: "So, it was your idea to order her to become a vegetarian and remove her hairpin? What about the maid? Can't attend the banquet at the house? Are they all?" At the end of the speech, Mrs. Wang's voice began to float.
"Since we are going to pay respects to the Buddha, we should naturally not be contaminated with meat. Similarly, who sincerely copied the Buddhist scriptures dressed in gorgeous clothes? As for not being able to attend the banquet, the old lady's original words were that the third sister was not allowed to leave the side courtyard for three years. Then what kind of banquet do you want to attend? There are also maids..." Wang Xifeng glanced secretly at Mrs. Wang, saw that the latter was glaring at her, lowered her head guiltily, and said, "The old lady ordered me to send four other maids to go. The side courtyard is waiting, but I ordered, I went over to help clean it yesterday, and I will come back today."
"You you you..." Mrs. Wang was completely speechless. She wanted to blame Wang Xifeng, but she knew that Wang Xifeng did these things with the idea of venting her anger.The problem is, although Wang Xifeng did these things, if it gets out, people will only say that her aunt is unkind.
"Then I'm going to change it?" Wang Xifeng was still sincerely repenting, and seeing Mrs. Wang's face unchanged, she hurriedly said, "Actually, the old lady ordered it down yesterday. The side courtyard has not been inhabited for more than ten years. I let people After tidying up hastily, the third younger sister brought the bedding and moved in. Although I have ordered other things, no one should have found out. "
"Then let someone change it!"
Wang Xifeng hurriedly agreed, and ran outside in a hurry, and ended up facing Ping'er who was so embarrassed, and immediately gave Ping'er a secret look, and said: "Ping'er, are you back? Then hurry up and run again. Those extra orders I gave yesterday have been revoked, remember to be careful, so that no one will notice."
Ping'er still had an embarrassing face, but he did not hesitate to agree: "Yes, what grandma ordered is that Ping'er must do it properly, and no one will notice." Well, it's impossible for people to notice.
"Hurry up!" Wang Xifeng angrily pushed Ping'er, and flung his sleeves to the inner room.In order to save Tanchun, she had to be ridiculed by a little maid. She was just messing with someone!
In the inner room, Mrs. Wang drank some tea, and when she saw Wang Xifeng coming, she said: "It's enough to smooth out those things. The old ladies on the left and right have already been severely punished. Three years..." Mrs. Wang asked herself that she had experienced a lot It's unheard of for a person to be imprisoned for three years in one go.Fortunately, Mother Jia gave the order, so she doesn't need to pretend to be a good person.
"It's only been three years, so it's cheap for her." Wang Xifeng curled her lips, with a look of indifference.Only seeing Mrs. Wang's unwavering expression, she reluctantly changed her words, "That's right, the old lady severely punished the third sister. But for what sister-in-law Zhu said, she deserves to be punished. Hmph!"
Mrs. Wang stood up abruptly, but couldn't help feeling dizzy, and lay down on the thick mattress again.
"Auntie? Okay, I'm not angry with you anymore, I'm not talking nonsense, you must take care of yourself! Don't take advantage of those little bastards!" Wang Xifeng didn't say this, but once he said this, Wang Madame will think more about it.However, this is actually within common sense. When Madam Wang fell ill, it was perfectly normal for Jia Zheng to go to the concubine's room next to him, and Madam Wang was speechless.
However, there is one person that Mrs. Wang can easily deal with.
"Brother Feng, where has Zhu'er and daughter-in-law gone?" Mrs. Wang's face was ashen.Of course, Tanchun was indeed at fault, no matter what kind of slander she encountered, it was an indisputable fact that she contradicted her aunt.If it wasn't for the fear of hurting her reputation, Mrs. Wang would be willing to teach her an unforgettable lesson.But what about Li Wan?That's not a good thing either!
"Where is sister-in-law Zhu? How do I know! Ever since your aunt passed out last night, I have been busy with family affairs. The third sister made such a fuss again, and the old lady found me another I'm so busy with everything! Eldest Master got into a fight with Second Master for some reason, and there was a fierce quarrel outside Rongqing Hall. By the way, the old lady even handed over the fourth sister to I'm sick, I really don't want to take care of the children, so I had to take the fourth younger sister to the east courtyard and hand it over to the eldest wife. In the end, the eldest master took the opportunity to catch the second master Lian and cursed him, saying that I and The second master Lian is a traitor, who did we provoke? That's not counting, the eldest wife is still very reluctant, she is busy anyway, and she does not hesitate to take the fourth sister. But think about it, aunt, she is busy and I don't care Are you busy? How old is the second sister? How old is my sister Qiao? When I went there, there was no one there. I was thinking about you, Auntie, and hurried to you, but you are kind, and asked me where sister-in-law Zhu went, so I can see who is my relative!"
Mrs. Wang clutched her forehead with a headache, and wanted to interrupt Wang Xifeng several times, but Wang Xifeng got excited and spoke so fast.He said in a crackling voice, but he didn't give Mrs. Wang a chance to intervene. It wasn't until Wang Xifeng got tired of talking and stopped talking, that Mrs. Wang finally found a chance to speak, and said with accusations: "I just asked you a question. If so, you called me back!"
"I……"
"Stop! Listen to me!" Mrs. Wang covered her forehead with one hand and her chest with the other, lamenting in her heart that none of them were easy to worry about.Another glance at Wang Xifeng, who was full of grievances and innocence, made her even more helpless, "You! I just want to know why Zhu's daughter-in-law doesn't wait in front of me, because I don't care about her!"
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, as if she was considering the veracity of her words. After a while, she smiled and said with crooked eyebrows: "I knew that I was the one who hurt my aunt the most." After a pause, she said in distress, "But I don't know where sister-in-law Zhu has gone."
Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Jin Chuan on the side hurriedly said in a low voice: "The slave girl never left except to call for someone in the yard of Second Grandma Lian yesterday. The four of them have been staying here." Where Wan went, they didn't know either.
In fact, this is true.Although Li Wan stayed in the inner room all night yesterday, Jin Chuan and the others really don't know where she went after she left.As for why Jin Chuan secretly cooperated with Wang Xifeng to pit Li Wan, it was because Li Wan was so good at grabbing jobs.Just think about it, if they robbed the jobs of the personal maids, what should they do?Besides, Jin Chuan has been with Mrs. Wang for many years, and he can't understand Mrs. Wang's temperament any more. What Mrs. Wang needs most is someone to vent her anger when something like that happens!Now, Tanchun has been banned for three years. If Li Wan also escapes this disaster, the people around them who can be vented are probably those around them.
Naturally, Mrs. Wang didn't know what Jin Chuan and the others were thinking, but because of the things in her previous life, Wang Xifeng saw through these maids better than Mrs. Wang.Therefore, Li Wan, who left earlier, was destined to be the punching bag for this unlucky man.
While talking, the little maid's voice came from outside the window, but it was the imperial doctor who came over.Not long after, the old doctor who came yesterday came into the inner room again to diagnose Mrs. Wang's pulse.Naturally, the result is better than yesterday, and the prescription has to be written separately, but the imperial doctor also said that Mrs. Wang must rest for this illness, not to work too hard, and not to get angry easily, otherwise it will be difficult to recover, and it is extremely dangerous. May fall to the root of the disease.Considering the situation in Rongguo Mansion, the imperial physician also advised that it can be taken together with medicinal food and decoction, the effect will be better.Naturally, no one would raise objections. After the imperial physician was sent away, Wang Xifeng ordered the big kitchen to prepare medicinal meals for Mrs. Wang.
"Auntie, let me just say it. You are a very lucky person. How can something happen?" Wang Xifeng asked Jin Chuan to take the prescription to the storeroom in the mansion to get the medicine. Fortunately, most of the medicines prescribed by the imperial physician were expensive tonics. , the Rongguo Mansion has a big business, if we talk about those ordinary medicinal materials, maybe there are not many prepared, but like this kind of extremely expensive medicinal materials, let alone buying them on weekdays, among the gifts received during the three festivals and two birthdays alone, there are Not a lot.
"Okay, don't talk about what you have. Call someone to find Zhu's daughter-in-law and see what she is doing." Mrs. Wang was exhausted, and her brain was throbbing, and she had fallen asleep. The relationship between day and night, she is extremely sober at this moment.In addition, I haven't taken any medicine yet, and I am concerned about what happened that day and night, so I can barely support myself.
Wang Xifeng curled her lips, and ordered people to look for Li Wan with all kinds of dissatisfaction.Taking advantage of Li Wan's absence, Wang Xifeng beamed and said, "Actually, sister-in-law Zhu is not very bad except she likes to teach others. At least she is filial, and she helped to teach the third sister a hard lesson yesterday, but It's relieved. Maybe she got up late today because she was too worried about her aunt. "
Waking up late because of worry?Mrs. Wang didn't want to say anything anymore, she could tell that Wang Xifeng didn't like Li Wan and Tanchun very much.The difference is that Wang Xifeng is full of contempt for Tanchun, which is also very understandable, after all, Tanchun is a concubine.As for Li Wan, it can only be said to be a small conflict between the sisters-in-law. After all, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan's backgrounds are too different, and it is normal to hate each other.Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang calmed down somewhat, but when the servant girl came over and said that Li Wan had just suppressed her anger and rushed up after she had slept in her room.
"Let her come here immediately!"
Wang Xifeng's eyeballs rolled quickly, and she quickly guessed Li Wan's approximate itinerary.Apparently, Li Wan came to Mrs. Wang's place after Jia's mother lost her temper yesterday, and the stay probably took half a day plus a whole night.Until this morning, when Wang Xifeng came to Mrs. Wang from Jiamu's place, it was the usual time to say hello.Li Wan left at that time, probably to pay his respects to Mother Jia.As for the greeting, I thought I couldn't hold on any longer, so I went back to my room and squinted for a while.
how to say?Li Wan's actions were completely understandable, especially before Mrs. Wang had no sign of waking up.Unfortunately, Li Wan was too unlucky.
"Auntie, please calm down. The imperial doctor said that you must rest and rest, and you must not get angry." After a pause, Wang Xifeng continued, "Besides, sister-in-law Zhu must have gone to catch up on sleep because of the hard work yesterday. Not to mention, I am also tired right now, thanks to you waking up, the big stone in my heart can be regarded as letting go. After lunch, I will go to take a nap."
Wang Xifeng's words did not comfort Mrs. Wang at all.Firstly, the identities of Wang Xifeng and Li Wan are different.Secondly, Wang Xifeng has to manage a lot of things in Rongguo Mansion.And the most important point, what Wang Xifeng said was that when Mrs. Wang woke up, she felt at ease, so she was in the mood to take a nap in the afternoon, but what about Li Wan?
... How could she have such an unfilial daughter-in-law!And a daughter-in-law who killed her son!
About half an hour later, Li Wan hurried over.In my conscience, this time is really not too late, because obviously, the person who went to look for Li Wan for the first time did not bother her.It was only after confirming Li Wan's whereabouts that he rushed to report.After waiting for Mrs. Wang's words, the maid went back to wake up Li Wan.But after Li Wan woke up, he had to wash and dress up, and it was extremely fast to be able to arrive at Mrs. Wang's place in half a quarter of an hour.
But Mrs. Wang didn't understand at all!
"Hmph, I'm sick, but you're resting in your room. It's good, it's great!" When she saw Li Wan, Mrs. Wang, who was already full of anger, pointed at Li Wan and gritted her teeth. He taught me a lesson, "What a lady from a scholarly family, our Rongguo Mansion can't afford to support such an honorable lady like you! Where did you come from and go back to!"
Li Wan fell to the ground with despair on her face, but she was not Tanchun, no matter how desperate she was, she would try to justify herself: "Madam, Madam, listen to me, I served you in front of you yesterday I spent a day and a night. I just left, really, if you don’t believe me, ask Brother Feng!”
Wang Xifeng's face was full of confusion: "What? Ask me what? Oh, yes, sister-in-law Zhu is indeed serving in front of your aunt. I came four times yesterday, and Second Master Lian also came twice. I really saw you Sister-in-law Guozhu."
Seeing that I have seen it does not mean that I have been waiting in front of me all the time.Of course, what Wang Xifeng said was correct, because she really couldn't prove whether Li Wan had stayed with Mrs. Wang for a day and a night, because she herself had never stayed in Rongxi Hall all the time.Jin Chuan and other maidservants saw it, but since the master didn't ask, they happily pretended not to know.
"Hmph, waited on me for a day and a night? Don't you think this is what you should do? Although I've been in a coma for so long, I haven't been so dazed that I forgot what you did last day! The third girl has been punished, I have nothing to say. But what about you? Tell me, what did the old lady punish you for?"
"I..." Li Wan opened his mouth, intending to say that what Jia Mu said yesterday was to make up his own mind when Mrs. Wang woke up.But if he said these words, wouldn't he really put his own life in the hands of Mrs. Wang?Of course, Li Wan never thought of hiding it completely, but just such a hesitation annoyed Mrs. Wang again.
"Why, are you dumb?" Mrs. Wang took a deep look at Li Wan, and then turned to Wang Xifeng, "Brother Feng, tell me how the old lady punished her yesterday."
Wang Xifeng seemed to be thinking hard at the moment, and immediately said: "No, it seems to be nothing." After thinking for a while, he added, "Auntie, sister-in-law Zhu is a good person. Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I believe she was really good yesterday. It's because she's worried about you. Look how bad her face is."
Ordinarily, Li Wan's complexion was indeed extremely bad, but the problem was that none of the people present had a good complexion.Of course, Zijuan and Ping'er brought by Wang Xifeng were fine, but they stayed in the outer hall and never came in.Leaving the two of them aside, everyone including Wang Xifeng looked extremely haggard.Especially Wang Xifeng, perhaps because she always looked radiant in normal times, compared with her pale face now, it stood out.On the other hand, Li Wan used to wear plain white clothes, and rarely wore hairpins and rings jewelry. Now his complexion is not good-looking, but he was probably scared out of it, rather than purely worried.Especially her frightened and desperate expression when she entered the door was all seen by Madam Wang.
Ha ha……
Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart, she woke up, but Li Wan looked terrified and desperate, how much did she hope for her own bad?Reminiscent of Wang Xifeng who was surprised and surprised when he opened his eyes for the first time, it made me feel even more uncomfortable.However, Mrs. Wang didn't know that Wang Xifeng hadn't acted at that time, she was really surprised, and thinking of Li Wan who had just left, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but gloat.It's just that her expression of surprise and joy fell into the eyes of Mrs. Wang who had just woken up, and it turned into a surprise after worrying.
It can only be said that thinking too much is also a disease.
"Madam..." Li Wan struggled to defend herself, but under Mrs. Wang's viper-like gaze, she really couldn't muster up the courage.Besides, when Jia Mu said that, there were many people present, one of them was Jia Zheng.How does she justify it?How does she justify herself?This time she was completely screwed.
"Auntie, why are you so angry again? The imperial doctor just said that you must not be angry. Okay, okay, you just woke up, don't worry about those things, you can rest It’s the right thing to keep your body healthy. I’m guessing it will take a while to prepare the medicine. Why don’t you close your eyes and rest for a while? Seriously, you’ve been sick for a while, so you should figure it out. Isn't it more important than your own body?" Wang Xifeng persuaded earnestly, she didn't want to excuse Li Wan, but thought that delaying time would only make Mrs. Wang even more angry.Besides, there is plenty of time to clean up Li Wan, even if he doesn't clean up, Li Wan won't be around for long.
Mrs. Wang looked at Li Wan who was kneeling on the ground with a sad, desperate, and terrified expression on her face, and then at Wang Xifeng who was haggard but still smiling softly, and her heart was filled with hatred.
Few people know that the daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang valued the most is not Li Wan at all, but Wang Xifeng!Don't say that Wang Xifeng grew up with Jia Lian's childhood sweethearts. In fact, Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, and Yuan Chun have always been raised by Jia's mother. Wang Xifeng grew up with Jia's three children.The reason Mrs. Wang values Wang Xifeng is also very simple, because she is her niece.It's a pity, although Mrs. Wang seems to have great status in Rongguo Mansion, but in fact, many things are not up to her to decide.Thinking back to the beginning, it was Jia Zheng and Jia Mu who joined forces and easily rejected her proposal, and instead took the lead in offering wine to Li Shouzhong's daughter with the Imperial Academy.However, Jia's mother never really denied Wang Xifeng, but after Jia Zhu got married, she proposed to let Jia Lian marry Wang Xifeng.
Mother Jia felt that her eldest grandson deserved something better, not that she looked down on Wang Xifeng.Although the Wang family is rich, it already has Mrs. Wang, so it doesn't make much sense for Jia Zhu to marry another Wang's daughter.On the contrary, at that time, Jia Zhu had already entered school and urgently needed to pass the imperial examination to prove his ability.Although the Li family is not as wealthy as the Wang family, it is a scholarly family. His father Li Shouzhong is not powerful, but his relatives and close friends are all talented people.
But no matter how good the reasons were at the beginning, every time Mrs. Wang thinks of Jia Zhu's death, she can't help feeling extremely regretful.
... If she had insisted on making Wang Xifeng her daughter-in-law back then, would her Jia Zhu still have died?Maybe Wang Xifeng has all kinds of bad things, but at least she won't be like Li Wan, forcing Jia Zhu to go to school all day long!
"My Pearl!" Mrs. Wang thought about it, and suddenly she felt sad, and she was half paralyzed on the bed, crying loudly.
Wang Xifeng was taken aback. Although she admitted that what she said just now had some other intentions, what does this have to do with Jia Zhu?Wang Xifeng had to admit that even if she was reborn, she still couldn't fully guess what other people were thinking, at least she couldn't figure out what was wrong with Mrs. Wang, so she cried out about Jia Zhu who had been dead for many years for no reason.
"Aunt?" Wang Xifeng asked tentatively, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
No matter how smart Wang Xifeng is, she would never have thought that she was the daughter-in-law candidate that Mrs. Wang favored at the beginning.After much deliberation, Wang Xifeng could only attribute the cause to Li Wan.After all, Li Wan is Jia Zhu's wife, so Mrs. Wang suddenly thought of Jia Zhu because she met Li Wan?
Even though this idea was still ridiculous, Wang Xifeng still asked responsibly, "You don't want to see sister-in-law Zhu?"
"Yes, I don't want to see her, let her get out, get out!" Mrs. Wang roared angrily, and then fell down again clutching her heart, unconscious.
Wang Xifeng: "..."
After a while, Wang Xifeng swallowed with difficulty, and tremblingly stepped forward to check Mrs. Wang's breath.The good news is that people are still alive, the bad news is that it seems to be the same as yesterday.
"Madam fainted again, hurry up and bring the imperial doctor back! Hurry up, hurry up!" As Mrs. Wang fainted again, Rongxi Hall fell into chaos again. An order to order the maids and women of Rongxi Hall around.
When it was almost ready, Wang Xifeng saw Li Wan who was still kneeling on the ground, and immediately became angry: "I said, sister-in-law Zhu, even if you can't help, don't make trouble? This house is not considered Daddy, you are kneeling in the middle, how inconvenient is it for the maids to go back and forth? Don’t you have to avoid it when the imperial doctor comes? I beg you, just go, I really don’t need you here!”
Li Wan's face turned blue and white, and he didn't find a word for a long time.
Naturally, with Wang Xifeng's famous impatient temper, it is absolutely impossible for her to wait for her to finish typing the copy and slowly explain the reason why she must stay here.At that moment, without waiting for Li Wan to refuse, Wang Xifeng ordered two servant girls to carry Li Wan out at the same time.
"Sister-in-law Zhu, don't blame me. It's true that my wife passed out as soon as you came. You should leave first. Don't worry, don't worry. When my wife wakes up, I will tell her that you have been by her side all the time." I have served you with all my heart and never left. Don't worry!"
Watching Li Wan being forcibly taken away, Wang Xifeng let out a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Mrs. Wang again.Seeing this, she couldn't help taking a small step back: "Ah! Auntie, are you awake?"
Mrs. Wang passed out after vomiting blood yesterday, but she just held her breath for a while, in fact, she really lost consciousness for less than a moment
"Aunt is awake?"
Mrs. Wang struggled to open her eyes, and before she could see the situation in front of her clearly, she heard two exclamations in her ears.Without looking closely, Mrs. Wang can easily tell who came from these two exclamations.After she regained her composure, Mrs. Wang unexpectedly saw Jin Chuan and Wang Xifeng approaching her, and four other maidservants a little further away.
Jin Chuan was so happy that he burst into tears. Although the other maids didn't speak, they knelt down on the ground with tears streaming down their faces, and kowtowed to Mrs. Wang repeatedly.Wang Xifeng, who was the only one who could be regarded as calm, now had a look of surprise and surprise on her face, coupled with her haggard complexion that was completely different from the past, it moved the usually cold-hearted Mrs. Wang for a moment.
Involuntarily, Mrs. Wang struggled and said: "Feng..." With just one word, Mrs. Wang froze there.
When she first woke up, Mrs. Wang was busy looking at the situation around her, but she ignored her own feelings.Although she only uttered one word at this moment, she felt a pain in her throat like a pinprick. Not only that, but she also felt that her whole body was like being run over by a carriage, every bone and flesh was aching, and she was still in pain With a little soreness, she was so uncomfortable that she wished that someone could help her to massage her right away.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Go get a cup of tea, make it warm. By the way, go to the big kitchen and ask for some glutinous rice soup. By the way, let the big kitchen deliver some easy-to-digest breakfast meals. Quantity You don’t need too much, but you must be pleasantly surprised, remember to bring more different ones, so that your wife can easily choose.” Wang Xifeng was the first to notice that something was wrong with Mrs. Wang, it was not because other people didn’t observe carefully, but because Jin Chuan and others were busy. I wanted to thank God, but I didn't notice this.
Fortunately, after receiving Wang Xifeng's reminder, Jin Chuan immediately came to his senses and hurriedly gave orders.
Rongxi Hall naturally had no shortage of tea, and as soon as Jin Chuan ordered to go down, the little maids came in with tea.When Jin Chuan took the tea, he hesitated slightly, glanced at Wang Xifeng out of the corner of his eye, saw that the latter had no intention of taking credit with her, he was relieved, and brought the teacup that was [-]% full to Mrs. Wang in front of.
Wang Xifeng never thought of competing with a servant girl for any merits. Seeing that someone was serving Mrs. Wang, she simply turned around and went outside to order: "Ping'er, you go and ask someone to guard the second gate. If you see the imperial doctor coming, Immediately bring it here. Then call someone to inform the masters, and say that the wife is lucky, she has woken up, and it seems that there is no serious problem. By the way, the movement should be a little quieter, don't make too much noise However, you just need to pass the words to the master."
Ping'er agreed, and repeated what she said just now, seeing that Wang Xifeng had nothing to add, she quickly left to give orders.
Seeing Ping'er leave, Wang Xifeng returned to the inner room again, pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looked at Mrs. Wang with a surprised and happy expression, and comforted her softly: "Aunt, don't worry, everyone says that you can't die in a catastrophe." There must be future blessings, I saw that you are a very lucky aunt, you can turn bad luck into good luck, and live a long life."
Mrs. Wang had just been helped up by two maids and half leaned on the bed, and took a few sips of tea in Jin Chuan's hand. She just felt a little more comfortable when she heard Wang Xifeng's words, and her complexion changed slightly.What kind of person is Wang Xifeng? How could she, who is a real aunt, not understand?Wang Xifeng has always chosen to speak obediently and auspiciously, but suddenly she changed her style, and she could only say that something happened that she didn't know about.
"Brother Feng, what happened? I..." Madam Wang realized something was wrong after asking halfway through.She clearly remembered that it was less than an hour before noon when she scolded Li Wan and Tanchun.But she glanced at the sunlight coming in through the screen window, and immediately screamed that something was wrong.It seems that the sky is getting dark now, "Is it almost time to hold the lamp?"
"No, no, it's not long after dawn, and it's still a long, long time before it's time to hold the lamp." Although Wang Xifeng said that she hadn't had a good rest all night, Zijuan still pinched her to wake her up.And she didn't dress up carefully, she just put her hair in a simple bun and went to Rongqing Hall.But Jia's mother was not very interested, and when she heard that she wanted to come and see Mrs. Wang, she was very happy to let her go.Therefore, counting the time, now it is only the time to pay your respects on weekdays.
Mrs. Wang's complexion darkened, and she asked in disbelief, "I slept all day and all night?"
"Yes. I also heard what Jin Chuan told me, and I tried to hide it from the old lady as much as possible. But it didn't take long to hide it from the old lady. As long as it was my aunt, you vomited blood. I was so scared that I immediately sent someone to call the imperial doctor. This They came and went, and no one kept it a secret." When Wang Xifeng said this, she had a look of grievance and innocence, although in fact she had no intention of concealing this situation at all, but it is always appropriate to justify a few words for herself.Besides, what she said was correct. The matter of Mrs. Wang's coma had already been spread throughout the Rongguo Mansion, but I don't know if it spread to the outside world.
"Forget it, Jin Chuan, wash for me." Mrs. Wang is not a completely unreasonable person. She never thought that her situation would be so serious, and she was afraid that if things got serious, she would offend Jia Mu for nothing.But since she was seriously ill, it didn't matter if the news spread. Besides, as Wang Xifeng said, she was in a coma for a day and a night, so it was absolutely impossible to hide it.
Jin Chuan agreed, and soon the little maids brought basins and handed out handkerchiefs.Mrs. Wang is so weak now that she can't get out of bed and walk around.Fortunately, after washing up, although his complexion was still very bad, he was more or less refreshed.After the little maid brought breakfast from the big kitchen, Mrs. Wang had a bowl of rice soup, some millet porridge and a few chopsticks of pickles, so she slowed down a bit.
"Brother Feng, come here." Mrs. Wang waved Jin Chuan to remove the things, then called Wang Xifeng to her, and asked, "Tell me, what happened yesterday?"
"What's the matter?" Wang Xifeng looked surprised, "Auntie, you fainted suddenly. Sister-in-law Zhu and the third younger sister are both dying. I wanted to hide it for a while at first, but I can't hide it. I stopped, and I simply told the old lady everything. However, I don't know exactly what happened. Most of them were told by Mrs. Zhu. As for the third sister, it is really useless, except to cry I can't even say a single sentence. I'm useless!"
Wang Xifeng's temperament is no secret in Rongguo Mansion, not to mention Mrs. Wang's direct aunt, even the servants in the mansion think they have figured out her temperament.It's fine to be willful and reckless, with that mouth, it can't be said that she can't speak, but that she will habitually watch people play.
Naturally, Mrs. Wang is also very aware of this.Therefore, Mrs. Wang was not at all annoyed at the fact that Wang Xifeng belittled Tanchun both inside and out, but only said: "What is the identity of the third girl, and what is your identity? If you get angry with her, you will definitely lower your identity." .”
"Yes, what you taught me, auntie." Wang Xifeng nodded obediently, but her temperament meant that she would not be obedient for long.After a while, she blew up again, "Auntie, you don't know how much the third sister cried yesterday, and the whole body was like a tearful person. By the way, what else did she say, if you go, Auntie, She immediately bumped her head to kill you. Listen to this, bad luck is not bad luck! Auntie, you are a lucky person, how can you be like that? Hmph, the old lady is courageous, and sister-in-law Zhu is also a good person. Third sister should be severely punished so that she dares to contradict my aunt next time!"
Mrs. Wang's eyebrows twitched slightly, even though she still didn't understand what happened, but hearing Wang Xifeng's tone, it seemed... Li Wan put all the responsibility on Tanchun? !
Of course, Tanchun is not really an innocent person. After hearing Tanchun's crying and complaining about Li Wan's sophistry yesterday, Mrs. Wang was absolutely equally angry with the two of them.Just think about it, one is the bastard born to her husband and another woman, and the other is the disaster that caused her eldest son to die early.For Mrs. Wang, both are not good things!
"Brother Feng, don't be so quick-tempered. Speak well, I'll listen." Mrs. Wang closed her eyes, resisting the discomfort in her body, and asked, "Tell me first, how does the old lady punish you?" It's spring."
"In the courtyard behind the third younger sister, let's set up a small Buddhist hall, saying that the third younger sister is going to worship Buddha and chant scriptures every day to pray for you, aunt. By the way, I have to copy Buddhist scriptures every day, so that I can't be contaminated with meat. , all the hairpins, rings and accessories were removed, and only one big maid was left by her side, and two rough maids in the yard. The most important thing is that the old lady said clearly that she was not allowed to leave the yard for at least three years and could not participate in the competition. For any banquet at the house, as for what will happen after three years, it depends on her specific performance." Wang Xifeng was originally very eloquent, but now she uttered a long series of words like a cannonball, and she simply didn't say anything , and even more emphatically described the cruelty of the punishment.
Mrs. Wang was stunned for a while and couldn't recover.
"But my aunt is not satisfied? It's okay, the old lady said, I will handle the matter of the third sister in the future. If my aunt is not satisfied, I will go to the other side of the courtyard to teach her a hard lesson later. Otherwise, shall we send her to the nunnery?"
"Don't mess around!" Seeing that Wang Xifeng was about to turn around to order the servants, Mrs. Wang was so startled that she yelled to stop her, but she coughed repeatedly because of choking on her saliva.
"Aunt..." Wang Xifeng bowed his head in a gesture of repentance, and let Jin Chuan step forward to pat Mrs. Wang's back, "Auntie, don't be angry, I will just listen to you."
"You! You say that the wind is the rain, when will you change it!" After a long time, Mrs. Wang finally calmed down, but her spirit became worse and worse, and she gasped again and again, "Remember , do whatever the old lady asks you to do, don't make up your own mind. In the future, if I have any orders, I will tell you directly, don't mess around. "
"Okay." Wang Xifeng is as obedient as he is right now, and he doesn't even have a word of excuse.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang finally felt a little more at ease, but after careful consideration, Mrs. Wang frowned again: "Brother Feng, you mean that the old lady punished the third girl so severely?"
"Yes..." Wang Xifeng's tone was full of hesitation, and his eyes looked around with guilt.Seeing her like this, what else does Mrs. Wang not understand?Now she was angry again, but she couldn't get angry with Wang Xifeng about this matter. The most important thing is that although she is sober now, her body seems to be falling apart. At least for a while, she is unable to take care of things. Still have to rely on Wang Xifeng.
At that moment, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to sigh helplessly: "Brother Feng, it's fine for the people around you, so please don't cause me any trouble. Tell me which ones the old lady ordered and which ones were You made it up on your own?"
"Going to a remote place, reciting scriptures, paying homage to Buddha, copying Buddhist scriptures, and the three-year period are all ordered by the old lady." The implication is that Wang Xifeng added privately to the other actions.
Mrs. Wang naturally understood the meaning of Wang Xifeng's words, and she was so angry that her heart ached: "So, it was your idea to order her to become a vegetarian and remove her hairpin? What about the maid? Can't attend the banquet at the house? Are they all?" At the end of the speech, Mrs. Wang's voice began to float.
"Since we are going to pay respects to the Buddha, we should naturally not be contaminated with meat. Similarly, who sincerely copied the Buddhist scriptures dressed in gorgeous clothes? As for not being able to attend the banquet, the old lady's original words were that the third sister was not allowed to leave the side courtyard for three years. Then what kind of banquet do you want to attend? There are also maids..." Wang Xifeng glanced secretly at Mrs. Wang, saw that the latter was glaring at her, lowered her head guiltily, and said, "The old lady ordered me to send four other maids to go. The side courtyard is waiting, but I ordered, I went over to help clean it yesterday, and I will come back today."
"You you you..." Mrs. Wang was completely speechless. She wanted to blame Wang Xifeng, but she knew that Wang Xifeng did these things with the idea of venting her anger.The problem is, although Wang Xifeng did these things, if it gets out, people will only say that her aunt is unkind.
"Then I'm going to change it?" Wang Xifeng was still sincerely repenting, and seeing Mrs. Wang's face unchanged, she hurriedly said, "Actually, the old lady ordered it down yesterday. The side courtyard has not been inhabited for more than ten years. I let people After tidying up hastily, the third younger sister brought the bedding and moved in. Although I have ordered other things, no one should have found out. "
"Then let someone change it!"
Wang Xifeng hurriedly agreed, and ran outside in a hurry, and ended up facing Ping'er who was so embarrassed, and immediately gave Ping'er a secret look, and said: "Ping'er, are you back? Then hurry up and run again. Those extra orders I gave yesterday have been revoked, remember to be careful, so that no one will notice."
Ping'er still had an embarrassing face, but he did not hesitate to agree: "Yes, what grandma ordered is that Ping'er must do it properly, and no one will notice." Well, it's impossible for people to notice.
"Hurry up!" Wang Xifeng angrily pushed Ping'er, and flung his sleeves to the inner room.In order to save Tanchun, she had to be ridiculed by a little maid. She was just messing with someone!
In the inner room, Mrs. Wang drank some tea, and when she saw Wang Xifeng coming, she said: "It's enough to smooth out those things. The old ladies on the left and right have already been severely punished. Three years..." Mrs. Wang asked herself that she had experienced a lot It's unheard of for a person to be imprisoned for three years in one go.Fortunately, Mother Jia gave the order, so she doesn't need to pretend to be a good person.
"It's only been three years, so it's cheap for her." Wang Xifeng curled her lips, with a look of indifference.Only seeing Mrs. Wang's unwavering expression, she reluctantly changed her words, "That's right, the old lady severely punished the third sister. But for what sister-in-law Zhu said, she deserves to be punished. Hmph!"
Mrs. Wang stood up abruptly, but couldn't help feeling dizzy, and lay down on the thick mattress again.
"Auntie? Okay, I'm not angry with you anymore, I'm not talking nonsense, you must take care of yourself! Don't take advantage of those little bastards!" Wang Xifeng didn't say this, but once he said this, Wang Madame will think more about it.However, this is actually within common sense. When Madam Wang fell ill, it was perfectly normal for Jia Zheng to go to the concubine's room next to him, and Madam Wang was speechless.
However, there is one person that Mrs. Wang can easily deal with.
"Brother Feng, where has Zhu'er and daughter-in-law gone?" Mrs. Wang's face was ashen.Of course, Tanchun was indeed at fault, no matter what kind of slander she encountered, it was an indisputable fact that she contradicted her aunt.If it wasn't for the fear of hurting her reputation, Mrs. Wang would be willing to teach her an unforgettable lesson.But what about Li Wan?That's not a good thing either!
"Where is sister-in-law Zhu? How do I know! Ever since your aunt passed out last night, I have been busy with family affairs. The third sister made such a fuss again, and the old lady found me another I'm so busy with everything! Eldest Master got into a fight with Second Master for some reason, and there was a fierce quarrel outside Rongqing Hall. By the way, the old lady even handed over the fourth sister to I'm sick, I really don't want to take care of the children, so I had to take the fourth younger sister to the east courtyard and hand it over to the eldest wife. In the end, the eldest master took the opportunity to catch the second master Lian and cursed him, saying that I and The second master Lian is a traitor, who did we provoke? That's not counting, the eldest wife is still very reluctant, she is busy anyway, and she does not hesitate to take the fourth sister. But think about it, aunt, she is busy and I don't care Are you busy? How old is the second sister? How old is my sister Qiao? When I went there, there was no one there. I was thinking about you, Auntie, and hurried to you, but you are kind, and asked me where sister-in-law Zhu went, so I can see who is my relative!"
Mrs. Wang clutched her forehead with a headache, and wanted to interrupt Wang Xifeng several times, but Wang Xifeng got excited and spoke so fast.He said in a crackling voice, but he didn't give Mrs. Wang a chance to intervene. It wasn't until Wang Xifeng got tired of talking and stopped talking, that Mrs. Wang finally found a chance to speak, and said with accusations: "I just asked you a question. If so, you called me back!"
"I……"
"Stop! Listen to me!" Mrs. Wang covered her forehead with one hand and her chest with the other, lamenting in her heart that none of them were easy to worry about.Another glance at Wang Xifeng, who was full of grievances and innocence, made her even more helpless, "You! I just want to know why Zhu's daughter-in-law doesn't wait in front of me, because I don't care about her!"
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes, as if she was considering the veracity of her words. After a while, she smiled and said with crooked eyebrows: "I knew that I was the one who hurt my aunt the most." After a pause, she said in distress, "But I don't know where sister-in-law Zhu has gone."
Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Jin Chuan on the side hurriedly said in a low voice: "The slave girl never left except to call for someone in the yard of Second Grandma Lian yesterday. The four of them have been staying here." Where Wan went, they didn't know either.
In fact, this is true.Although Li Wan stayed in the inner room all night yesterday, Jin Chuan and the others really don't know where she went after she left.As for why Jin Chuan secretly cooperated with Wang Xifeng to pit Li Wan, it was because Li Wan was so good at grabbing jobs.Just think about it, if they robbed the jobs of the personal maids, what should they do?Besides, Jin Chuan has been with Mrs. Wang for many years, and he can't understand Mrs. Wang's temperament any more. What Mrs. Wang needs most is someone to vent her anger when something like that happens!Now, Tanchun has been banned for three years. If Li Wan also escapes this disaster, the people around them who can be vented are probably those around them.
Naturally, Mrs. Wang didn't know what Jin Chuan and the others were thinking, but because of the things in her previous life, Wang Xifeng saw through these maids better than Mrs. Wang.Therefore, Li Wan, who left earlier, was destined to be the punching bag for this unlucky man.
While talking, the little maid's voice came from outside the window, but it was the imperial doctor who came over.Not long after, the old doctor who came yesterday came into the inner room again to diagnose Mrs. Wang's pulse.Naturally, the result is better than yesterday, and the prescription has to be written separately, but the imperial doctor also said that Mrs. Wang must rest for this illness, not to work too hard, and not to get angry easily, otherwise it will be difficult to recover, and it is extremely dangerous. May fall to the root of the disease.Considering the situation in Rongguo Mansion, the imperial physician also advised that it can be taken together with medicinal food and decoction, the effect will be better.Naturally, no one would raise objections. After the imperial physician was sent away, Wang Xifeng ordered the big kitchen to prepare medicinal meals for Mrs. Wang.
"Auntie, let me just say it. You are a very lucky person. How can something happen?" Wang Xifeng asked Jin Chuan to take the prescription to the storeroom in the mansion to get the medicine. Fortunately, most of the medicines prescribed by the imperial physician were expensive tonics. , the Rongguo Mansion has a big business, if we talk about those ordinary medicinal materials, maybe there are not many prepared, but like this kind of extremely expensive medicinal materials, let alone buying them on weekdays, among the gifts received during the three festivals and two birthdays alone, there are Not a lot.
"Okay, don't talk about what you have. Call someone to find Zhu's daughter-in-law and see what she is doing." Mrs. Wang was exhausted, and her brain was throbbing, and she had fallen asleep. The relationship between day and night, she is extremely sober at this moment.In addition, I haven't taken any medicine yet, and I am concerned about what happened that day and night, so I can barely support myself.
Wang Xifeng curled her lips, and ordered people to look for Li Wan with all kinds of dissatisfaction.Taking advantage of Li Wan's absence, Wang Xifeng beamed and said, "Actually, sister-in-law Zhu is not very bad except she likes to teach others. At least she is filial, and she helped to teach the third sister a hard lesson yesterday, but It's relieved. Maybe she got up late today because she was too worried about her aunt. "
Waking up late because of worry?Mrs. Wang didn't want to say anything anymore, she could tell that Wang Xifeng didn't like Li Wan and Tanchun very much.The difference is that Wang Xifeng is full of contempt for Tanchun, which is also very understandable, after all, Tanchun is a concubine.As for Li Wan, it can only be said to be a small conflict between the sisters-in-law. After all, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan's backgrounds are too different, and it is normal to hate each other.Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang calmed down somewhat, but when the servant girl came over and said that Li Wan had just suppressed her anger and rushed up after she had slept in her room.
"Let her come here immediately!"
Wang Xifeng's eyeballs rolled quickly, and she quickly guessed Li Wan's approximate itinerary.Apparently, Li Wan came to Mrs. Wang's place after Jia's mother lost her temper yesterday, and the stay probably took half a day plus a whole night.Until this morning, when Wang Xifeng came to Mrs. Wang from Jiamu's place, it was the usual time to say hello.Li Wan left at that time, probably to pay his respects to Mother Jia.As for the greeting, I thought I couldn't hold on any longer, so I went back to my room and squinted for a while.
how to say?Li Wan's actions were completely understandable, especially before Mrs. Wang had no sign of waking up.Unfortunately, Li Wan was too unlucky.
"Auntie, please calm down. The imperial doctor said that you must rest and rest, and you must not get angry." After a pause, Wang Xifeng continued, "Besides, sister-in-law Zhu must have gone to catch up on sleep because of the hard work yesterday. Not to mention, I am also tired right now, thanks to you waking up, the big stone in my heart can be regarded as letting go. After lunch, I will go to take a nap."
Wang Xifeng's words did not comfort Mrs. Wang at all.Firstly, the identities of Wang Xifeng and Li Wan are different.Secondly, Wang Xifeng has to manage a lot of things in Rongguo Mansion.And the most important point, what Wang Xifeng said was that when Mrs. Wang woke up, she felt at ease, so she was in the mood to take a nap in the afternoon, but what about Li Wan?
... How could she have such an unfilial daughter-in-law!And a daughter-in-law who killed her son!
About half an hour later, Li Wan hurried over.In my conscience, this time is really not too late, because obviously, the person who went to look for Li Wan for the first time did not bother her.It was only after confirming Li Wan's whereabouts that he rushed to report.After waiting for Mrs. Wang's words, the maid went back to wake up Li Wan.But after Li Wan woke up, he had to wash and dress up, and it was extremely fast to be able to arrive at Mrs. Wang's place in half a quarter of an hour.
But Mrs. Wang didn't understand at all!
"Hmph, I'm sick, but you're resting in your room. It's good, it's great!" When she saw Li Wan, Mrs. Wang, who was already full of anger, pointed at Li Wan and gritted her teeth. He taught me a lesson, "What a lady from a scholarly family, our Rongguo Mansion can't afford to support such an honorable lady like you! Where did you come from and go back to!"
Li Wan fell to the ground with despair on her face, but she was not Tanchun, no matter how desperate she was, she would try to justify herself: "Madam, Madam, listen to me, I served you in front of you yesterday I spent a day and a night. I just left, really, if you don’t believe me, ask Brother Feng!”
Wang Xifeng's face was full of confusion: "What? Ask me what? Oh, yes, sister-in-law Zhu is indeed serving in front of your aunt. I came four times yesterday, and Second Master Lian also came twice. I really saw you Sister-in-law Guozhu."
Seeing that I have seen it does not mean that I have been waiting in front of me all the time.Of course, what Wang Xifeng said was correct, because she really couldn't prove whether Li Wan had stayed with Mrs. Wang for a day and a night, because she herself had never stayed in Rongxi Hall all the time.Jin Chuan and other maidservants saw it, but since the master didn't ask, they happily pretended not to know.
"Hmph, waited on me for a day and a night? Don't you think this is what you should do? Although I've been in a coma for so long, I haven't been so dazed that I forgot what you did last day! The third girl has been punished, I have nothing to say. But what about you? Tell me, what did the old lady punish you for?"
"I..." Li Wan opened his mouth, intending to say that what Jia Mu said yesterday was to make up his own mind when Mrs. Wang woke up.But if he said these words, wouldn't he really put his own life in the hands of Mrs. Wang?Of course, Li Wan never thought of hiding it completely, but just such a hesitation annoyed Mrs. Wang again.
"Why, are you dumb?" Mrs. Wang took a deep look at Li Wan, and then turned to Wang Xifeng, "Brother Feng, tell me how the old lady punished her yesterday."
Wang Xifeng seemed to be thinking hard at the moment, and immediately said: "No, it seems to be nothing." After thinking for a while, he added, "Auntie, sister-in-law Zhu is a good person. Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I believe she was really good yesterday. It's because she's worried about you. Look how bad her face is."
Ordinarily, Li Wan's complexion was indeed extremely bad, but the problem was that none of the people present had a good complexion.Of course, Zijuan and Ping'er brought by Wang Xifeng were fine, but they stayed in the outer hall and never came in.Leaving the two of them aside, everyone including Wang Xifeng looked extremely haggard.Especially Wang Xifeng, perhaps because she always looked radiant in normal times, compared with her pale face now, it stood out.On the other hand, Li Wan used to wear plain white clothes, and rarely wore hairpins and rings jewelry. Now his complexion is not good-looking, but he was probably scared out of it, rather than purely worried.Especially her frightened and desperate expression when she entered the door was all seen by Madam Wang.
Ha ha……
Mrs. Wang sneered in her heart, she woke up, but Li Wan looked terrified and desperate, how much did she hope for her own bad?Reminiscent of Wang Xifeng who was surprised and surprised when he opened his eyes for the first time, it made me feel even more uncomfortable.However, Mrs. Wang didn't know that Wang Xifeng hadn't acted at that time, she was really surprised, and thinking of Li Wan who had just left, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but gloat.It's just that her expression of surprise and joy fell into the eyes of Mrs. Wang who had just woken up, and it turned into a surprise after worrying.
It can only be said that thinking too much is also a disease.
"Madam..." Li Wan struggled to defend herself, but under Mrs. Wang's viper-like gaze, she really couldn't muster up the courage.Besides, when Jia Mu said that, there were many people present, one of them was Jia Zheng.How does she justify it?How does she justify herself?This time she was completely screwed.
"Auntie, why are you so angry again? The imperial doctor just said that you must not be angry. Okay, okay, you just woke up, don't worry about those things, you can rest It’s the right thing to keep your body healthy. I’m guessing it will take a while to prepare the medicine. Why don’t you close your eyes and rest for a while? Seriously, you’ve been sick for a while, so you should figure it out. Isn't it more important than your own body?" Wang Xifeng persuaded earnestly, she didn't want to excuse Li Wan, but thought that delaying time would only make Mrs. Wang even more angry.Besides, there is plenty of time to clean up Li Wan, even if he doesn't clean up, Li Wan won't be around for long.
Mrs. Wang looked at Li Wan who was kneeling on the ground with a sad, desperate, and terrified expression on her face, and then at Wang Xifeng who was haggard but still smiling softly, and her heart was filled with hatred.
Few people know that the daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang valued the most is not Li Wan at all, but Wang Xifeng!Don't say that Wang Xifeng grew up with Jia Lian's childhood sweethearts. In fact, Jia Lian, Jia Zhu, and Yuan Chun have always been raised by Jia's mother. Wang Xifeng grew up with Jia's three children.The reason Mrs. Wang values Wang Xifeng is also very simple, because she is her niece.It's a pity, although Mrs. Wang seems to have great status in Rongguo Mansion, but in fact, many things are not up to her to decide.Thinking back to the beginning, it was Jia Zheng and Jia Mu who joined forces and easily rejected her proposal, and instead took the lead in offering wine to Li Shouzhong's daughter with the Imperial Academy.However, Jia's mother never really denied Wang Xifeng, but after Jia Zhu got married, she proposed to let Jia Lian marry Wang Xifeng.
Mother Jia felt that her eldest grandson deserved something better, not that she looked down on Wang Xifeng.Although the Wang family is rich, it already has Mrs. Wang, so it doesn't make much sense for Jia Zhu to marry another Wang's daughter.On the contrary, at that time, Jia Zhu had already entered school and urgently needed to pass the imperial examination to prove his ability.Although the Li family is not as wealthy as the Wang family, it is a scholarly family. His father Li Shouzhong is not powerful, but his relatives and close friends are all talented people.
But no matter how good the reasons were at the beginning, every time Mrs. Wang thinks of Jia Zhu's death, she can't help feeling extremely regretful.
... If she had insisted on making Wang Xifeng her daughter-in-law back then, would her Jia Zhu still have died?Maybe Wang Xifeng has all kinds of bad things, but at least she won't be like Li Wan, forcing Jia Zhu to go to school all day long!
"My Pearl!" Mrs. Wang thought about it, and suddenly she felt sad, and she was half paralyzed on the bed, crying loudly.
Wang Xifeng was taken aback. Although she admitted that what she said just now had some other intentions, what does this have to do with Jia Zhu?Wang Xifeng had to admit that even if she was reborn, she still couldn't fully guess what other people were thinking, at least she couldn't figure out what was wrong with Mrs. Wang, so she cried out about Jia Zhu who had been dead for many years for no reason.
"Aunt?" Wang Xifeng asked tentatively, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
No matter how smart Wang Xifeng is, she would never have thought that she was the daughter-in-law candidate that Mrs. Wang favored at the beginning.After much deliberation, Wang Xifeng could only attribute the cause to Li Wan.After all, Li Wan is Jia Zhu's wife, so Mrs. Wang suddenly thought of Jia Zhu because she met Li Wan?
Even though this idea was still ridiculous, Wang Xifeng still asked responsibly, "You don't want to see sister-in-law Zhu?"
"Yes, I don't want to see her, let her get out, get out!" Mrs. Wang roared angrily, and then fell down again clutching her heart, unconscious.
Wang Xifeng: "..."
After a while, Wang Xifeng swallowed with difficulty, and tremblingly stepped forward to check Mrs. Wang's breath.The good news is that people are still alive, the bad news is that it seems to be the same as yesterday.
"Madam fainted again, hurry up and bring the imperial doctor back! Hurry up, hurry up!" As Mrs. Wang fainted again, Rongxi Hall fell into chaos again. An order to order the maids and women of Rongxi Hall around.
When it was almost ready, Wang Xifeng saw Li Wan who was still kneeling on the ground, and immediately became angry: "I said, sister-in-law Zhu, even if you can't help, don't make trouble? This house is not considered Daddy, you are kneeling in the middle, how inconvenient is it for the maids to go back and forth? Don’t you have to avoid it when the imperial doctor comes? I beg you, just go, I really don’t need you here!”
Li Wan's face turned blue and white, and he didn't find a word for a long time.
Naturally, with Wang Xifeng's famous impatient temper, it is absolutely impossible for her to wait for her to finish typing the copy and slowly explain the reason why she must stay here.At that moment, without waiting for Li Wan to refuse, Wang Xifeng ordered two servant girls to carry Li Wan out at the same time.
"Sister-in-law Zhu, don't blame me. It's true that my wife passed out as soon as you came. You should leave first. Don't worry, don't worry. When my wife wakes up, I will tell her that you have been by her side all the time." I have served you with all my heart and never left. Don't worry!"
Watching Li Wan being forcibly taken away, Wang Xifeng let out a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at Mrs. Wang again.Seeing this, she couldn't help taking a small step back: "Ah! Auntie, are you awake?"
Mrs. Wang passed out after vomiting blood yesterday, but she just held her breath for a while, in fact, she really lost consciousness for less than a moment
