Chapter 774 Wake up
The entrance to the courtyard of Yuqiongyuan was full of little maids. Everyone looked nervously at Chu Lin Nuanyu and the others who were standing under the courtyard door, and talked in low voices.
"What's going on? Has something big happened? Isn't it said that the Crown Princess is ill? Why are several of her maids here? Why did she call us here?"
"Who knows, we are slaves, we just obey orders."
"We have been standing for a long time. How long should we stand? My work is not finished yet. After a while, the third young master wants to kick me again."
The maid who spoke was Erniu, the third-class maid of the third son. This name was also the nickname given to her by the third son.
The maid standing next to her asked her jealously, "What did the third young master ask you to do again?"
"I'm going to catch frogs. I want to catch twenty. The third young master said that he will eat roasted frogs in the evening. If the number is not enough and he is not full, he will cut off my flesh and eat it." Erniu said, with a twinkle in her eye. A little scared.
The other maid chuckled and said, "The third young master is just teasing you, do you take it seriously?"
"How dare you not take it seriously? I didn't finish the job that the third young master gave me last time. The third young master said that he would cut my hair, but he did. You see, this side is a lot shorter." The second girl cut off half of the third child's hair and showed it to the maid.
At this time, Mrs. Zhuo and her group arrived. When Chu Lin saw it, she walked over and said, "Uncle, why are you here? Are we causing trouble for you? I'm really sorry because something happened in Yuqiongyuan. If it is inconvenient for my uncle and aunt to find these maids, I will tell the princess and ask her to send some maids from Yuqiong Garden to serve the two wives and two cousins. "
"No, we just came to take a look." Mrs. Zhuo said embarrassedly, and then asked her worriedly, "How is Aqi's wife? Is she awake?"
"I'm awake, I just woke up, but my body is still very weak and I can't speak."
Well, actually the master is not that weak, she exaggerated on purpose.
After the master woke up, he ate a bowl of porridge, another bowl of chicken soup, and a blood-tonifying pill. His body had recovered half of his body, and his face was already somewhat rosy, no longer as white as snow.
The prince was accompanying his master in the house, and the investigation of the murderer was left to a few of them.
"Uncle, aunt, and two cousins, there are a lot of people outside. Please let me lead you in." Chu Lin said, turning sideways to let a few people in.
Just as Mrs. Zhuo was about to respond, Mrs. Yuan said, "Aqi's wife is recovering from illness and needs a good rest, so we won't go in and disturb her."
"How about I take you to sit in the side hall?" Since you don't want to go in, and you don't want to leave, it's hard for the two ladies to stand here with a pair of maids.
While Mrs. Zhuo was hesitating, Mr. Zhuo, who had just returned from a trip to Chu's house, hurried over after hearing the news.
She saw Yuan Liqin in a bright red dress from a distance. She stretched her neck and muttered, "Sister-in-law, eldest sister, and you two girls, what are you doing standing here? Come on, let's go in and see Ayu." ”
Mrs. Yuan said with a smile, "Didn't we hear that something happened again in Yuqiongyuan? We were worried about Aqi's wife, so we rushed here." She didn't say that Xia Zihan was recuperating and couldn't be disturbed.
With Zhuo taking the lead, Mrs. Zhuo and others followed them into Yuqiong Garden. In the room, although Xia Zihan's face had recovered most of its color, it was still a little pale and weak. It was as if a layer of flour had been applied to his lips, which was much better than before when he was dying.
Chu Jingqi saw that she was breathing vigorously, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He took a big pillow, helped her sit up, and leaned on it.
He sat on the chair next to the bed, held her hand tightly, and told her about the Chu family.
"Grandma's body and bones are getting worse every year. This time about the ninth aunt of the Zeng family, grandma was very angry and hurt her roots. The master said that she can only take good care of her, and this matter cannot be rushed."
< br>
"How does grandma look?" Xia Zihan woke up, thinking about the things around her.
"I ate half a bowl of blood swallow porridge and half a bowl of ginseng chicken soup this morning. It's the thousand-year-old ginseng you brought. According to your instructions, Mother Su will cook half a piece for grandma to eat in the morning and evening."
Chu Jingqi told Xia Zihan everything about Zeng's situation in detail, so that she would not have to worry about two things. In the past few days, she had not recovered and was worried about the Chu family. She had lost weight and her chin was pointed. .
He looked at her, and his heart clenched in pain.
He squeezed her palm and continued, "Princess Qinghui and Chu Yuexi are very filial to their grandmother. They take their children and go to greet their grandmother every morning. Princess Qinghui will go there in person whenever she is free. When serving grandma, even the eldest son of her family would lend a hand to help with things. Grandma said that when the eldest son has grown up, he must be a filial son. Princess Qinghui was very happy after hearing this. "
"Also, during this Dragon Boat Festival, the Queen Mother rewarded the second princess with a pound of top-quality blood swallows. The second princess didn't keep any of them, and gave them all to her grandmother to eat. They are tributes. You can't buy them with money outside. When she arrived, Princess Qinghui ordered the kitchen to cook a bowl of blood swallow porridge for her grandmother to eat every morning. In the past two days, her face has looked much better. "
Talking about Chu Yuexi again, "Chu Yuexi asked for leave and did not go to the palace for the past few days. He would take Da Lang Erlang to visit his grandmother every day, bask in the sun with her and talk. Grandma was very moved and even secretly Tell me, Chu Yuexi’s heir and grandson will be prosperous in the future.”
In fact, his grandmother also told him that with Chu Yuexi and Dalang Erlang in the Chu family, the Chu family would no longer be buried. Even if she died, she would still have the dignity to meet Mr. Chu Ge.
What reassured her the most was that after she died, her poor son would have descendants burn paper money for him during the Qingming Festival and the Half-Ghost Festival in July, so she was not afraid that her son would have no money to spend in the underworld. .
Grandma was happy when she said this.
However, she was still thinking about Ayu.
"Grandma said that she couldn't come to see you for fear of bringing the illness to you and your children. She asked me to bring you a message, asking you to take a good rest and recuperate your body and bones as soon as possible. After you are full month, you can also go as soon as possible. I went to visit her at Chu’s house. I can see that grandma misses you very much.”
"Can you not think about it? I was raised by my grandmother." Xia Zihan's eyes were moist and she sniffed, "Not only does my grandmother miss me, I also miss my grandmother."
After hearing that something had happened to her grandmother, she was frightened, so she excitedly moved her fetus and gave birth a few days prematurely.
