Chapter 017 - Anger
At some point, the snow that had stopped fell again.
The snow came with a vengeance, and it didn't take long for the green stone ground in the front garden of Plum Blossom Dock to accumulate white snow again. Just by looking at it, it made people feel very cold. The atmosphere inside the house was also like this, so cold that people wanted to shiver. A silence, silence, almost hear the rustling sound of falling snow outside. The maids stood in the doorway under the eaves, one by one, even the atmosphere did not dare to come out. This one after another cold field, who can not be replaced every time to warm it up.
The long room old lady's nature is considered to be kind, in the past few days rarely angry, but just now that sentence off the mouth will be smashed in the face of the Jiang's. The long room of the people heard all the words.
The people of the long house heard the words, all bluffed a jump, only to feel unknown.
But Xie Shuning was vaguely aware of it.
The old lady of the long house was suddenly furious, not only because Xie Zhiruo had hurt her, and so uneducated that she had lost face as a grandmother. She reprimanded Jiang's poor discipline, the meaning of the words is not just the matter of discipline of the daughter.
Jiang's is the niece of the old lady of the long house, the original is the daughter-in-law of her favorite. However, this time, Jiang's eldest daughter with the rush to the capital, as a refuge, so how can she still like up?
The only thing that happened was that Mr. Xie's superiors gave him a beautiful woman, and she became pregnant in the blink of an eye. A concubine, even if she gave birth to a son, so what? It's only a commoner's son, so how can it take over the status of the first son? But Jiang's own son could not be born, not to find ways to attract the husband's heart, but instead of leaving to go back to Kyoto.
The old lady of the long house hated the steel, but also for her own son to hold the injustice. In the grandchildren of the eldest house, there are not many male children, so it is important to spread the branches. The son took a few beautiful concubines to have children, what can be a big fatal event! Jiang simply went back to her old self!
"What are you waiting for?" The old lady of the eldest house finished scolding, took a breath, her face looked better, "Still not quick to make people ask the doctor to go!"
A daughter's face was always important.
Even if they had a low opinion of Song's eyes, and even looked down on Xie Shuning's siblings, since they were children of the Xie family, they couldn't treat them harshly, not to mention that this was in front of Xie Yuanmao. The First Mistress then quickly asked someone to go down and ask the doctor to come.
The Xie family, although not as good as the old families in the capital, the noble clansmen, but also draw business for several generations, the rows are not lacking.
Therefore, the long house of the mansion is to provide a from the Imperial Hospital retired from the Hang surname of the old doctor.
Dr. Hang lives in the outer courtyard, followed by the first wife of the big maid Zisu rushed to the time, Xie Zhiruo has already cried on the breath.
So Hang doctor a door, will be beard trembling quickly toward Xie Zhiruo said: "Six Miss hurt where?"
Zisu snapped, hurriedly explaining, "Dr. Hang, it's not Miss Six that's hurt, it's Miss Eight."
"Eighth Miss?" Hang too doctor in addition to weekdays to the Xie family a few masters pulse diagnosis, will not easily walk outside, at the moment does not know Song a few people into the house of the matter, heard Zisu words, can not help but froze, "Miss eight is ......"
"Dr. Hang this side please." Seeing that the situation at hand was not like this, and she was used to being a peacemaker, the First Mistress took the initiative to send Zisu away, personally leading the people towards Xie Shuning's heels, while saying, "It's the Third House's Sixth Brother's eldest daughter, who accidentally scratched her forehead just now. The child is young and is afraid of scarring, so I'll have to ask you to take more care."
Imperial Doctor Hang nodded and walked over to Xie Shuning.
The maid who was waiting at the side then passed a hand stove forward to cover for Dr. Hang, waiting for the cold air on his hands to dissipate, he then carefully examined Xie Shuning's injuries.
"Mother ......"
The old man's warm fingers pressed against her forehead, Xie Shuning remembered that this Dr. Hang was the one who had treated her mother at first. Although the medical skill is good, but for the people are a little high and low, when for the mother to see the doctor is not attentive, can not help but feel impatient, can not help but softly called up the Song's. The mother's face is full of worry, heard the voice of the Song's. The mother's face is full of worry.
Song's face full of worry, sniffing tightly hold her small hand. Xie Yiyi on the side is even more nervous, "A barbarians do not cry, do not cry ......"
"The mouth is not deep, apply a few days of medicine, when the time scabs fall and then wipe a few times Jade Rong Cream, will not leave scars." Dr. Hang took a closer look before straightening up to face the old master of the long house and the old lady smilingly said.
Seeing his calm tone, everyone followed and breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Jiang's, originally overwhelmed look immediately disappeared, only a faint embarrassment, patiently coaxed up Xie Zhiruo: "Okay, okay, your eighth sister did not cry, you are crying what? Wipe your tears and go apologize to your sixth uncle and eighth sister."
Xie Zhiruo, however, ignored, and only cried endlessly.
While Dr. Hang was applying medicine for Xie Shuning, the First Mistress approached Xie Zhiruo and said with a smile, "Our Sixth Girl is usually the most obedient and good-natured, why are you crying so hard today? You're just careless, your sixth uncle won't blame you, stop crying now." Finished, she suddenly faced Jiang's, sighed and said, "Third sibling, I know you these days heart is not good, can ......"
The words were half spoken and not finished, appearing particularly meaningful.
Xie Shuning tilted her head, but her ears did not miss these movements at all.
Her great-uncle Wang, never a really good person.
Just as she was thinking, she heard the old lady of the eldest house, who had already calmed down her anger, suddenly scold Jiang again, "What kind of crying has this become, don't quickly take her down to purify her face!"
Immediately afterward, a rustle of footsteps sounded in the room.
Listening to the noise, Xie Shuning could not help but slightly hook the corner of her mouth, and her smile was quickly hidden again.
She had done it on purpose.
She wasn't really unable to hide that time just now, it was just that the moment she saw Jiang's mother and daughter, she had her heart set on it.
A person's heart was only so big, if she wanted to gain the favorite of the eldest house wife, she could only first squeeze out the sixth young lady Xie Zhiruo who originally occupied the seat. But Jiang is the niece of the old lady of the long house, and Xie Zhiruo was brought up in this plum blossom dock, she can only step by step slowly eat away the old lady of the long house's love for them.
It just so happened that if she hadn't miscalculated the date, now was the time when the old lady of the long house was displeased with Jiang.
And Xie Zhiruo is losing her temper because Jiang wants to take her to Yangzhou and keep her by her side.
This is her "sending charcoal in the snow", isn't it just the right thing to do?
However, in the end, the thought was not thoughtful enough, causing her mother and brother to worry.
After applying the medicine, the First Mistress had the bed table set up in a hurry.
Because of this sudden incident, the morning meal was delayed, so the subordinates all moved quickly and quickly set up a wide variety of food. The First Mistress personally took a food box carried by a maid, opened it, and brought out two green-flower janquettes to the Elder Master of the Longhouse and the Elder Mistress respectively.
