Chapter 16: Equal Treatment

The Wen Mansion had been noisy all day, and it was getting late. It was quiet now, and dinner was passed around in each room, but the two girls were still kneeling...

The time has come for the lord, and the third aunt will be taking care of him. The second aunt was originally supposed to take care of the lord, but unexpectedly, the second aunt was infected with cold last night, and was afraid of spreading the disease to the lord, so he asked the third aunt to take care of him.

Fortunately, Bago followed his two elder brothers to study at the Shen Family School, so he had free time during the day. Fourth brother and his mother were there to help watch over him at night, so Bago would not make a fuss.

Second bedroom.

"Cough...cough." The second aunt lay on the bed, covered with nearly three quilts. At this moment, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief and cough.

He brought the food in to his mother, put it on the small table beside the bed, helped his second aunt to sit up, and pulled the quilt over her: "My aunt is still not feeling better after taking the medicine, why don't we invite a doctor to come and take a look?"

?”

The second aunt's eyes were a little sour, and she puffed her lips and said, "Let's eat and see."

Xiang's mother brought the food and bowed slightly to feed it. The second aunt only took one mouthful and felt nauseous. Then she pushed Xiang's mother away and retched under the bed...

Xiang's mother looked worried, so she quickly put down her bowls and chopsticks, patted her on the back, and called the maid to invite the groom.

"My stomach feels like it's on fire. I won't eat if I don't want to eat it." The second aunt slapped her chest, waved her hand, and told her mother to take the food away.

"Go to the kitchen and prepare some porridge for later." He ordered the maid next to his mother, who then took the food down. ωωw..net

"I heard that the old lady passed on Zhao Cuimei today, have you heard anything?" The second aunt was half-leaning on the bed, her face a little listless, and she was coughing again...

"It's not a rumor, it should be said that she was caught. The fourth aunt just lifted the ban shortly after noon, and heard that the master was punished by the old lady to kneel in the ancestral hall for three moments. After only two moments, the fourth aunt could not sit still.

I went to the ancestral hall and was still making noise outside." He said to his mother while patting the second aunt on the back...

"Later, Junmu came over, talked to Fourth Yi Niang, and I heard she slapped her twice. Junmu also said that the first time was for the old lady, and the second time was for Junmu herself.

Discipline for the fourth aunt..."

"So wonderful?" The second aunt was in disbelief and coughed again...

"Later, the seventh girl and the sixth girl also got into a quarrel, and they were still punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall. They said that the seventh girl beat the sixth girl, and told her face that Junmu had bullied them in the fourth room. Later, Junmu took them back to the main room.

Yes. I heard from the maid that the seventh girl had no respect and inferiority. She attacked the sixth girl again in front of the queen mother and offended the queen mother. Later, the queen mother slapped her in the face and punished her by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three moments."

"Sixth girl has always been open-minded, but at least she knows some etiquette in front of her elders. This seventh girl shouldn't be so rude. She must have been made angry by sixth girl, and she was so aggressive and offensive."

"My aunt is right. It was indeed the sixth girl who said something against the fourth aunt, which caused the farce. However, the sixth girl will kneel down with a stick of incense as punishment. It's time to go back."

"Miss Seventh made the mistake of hitting Miss Six, and what was even more wrong was that she offended the Queen Mother, ahem..." The second aunt covered her mouth with one hand, pointed to the tea cup on the table, and motioned to her mother to bring it to her.

"Auntie, be careful when it's hot." Xiang Mom carefully held the water glass and rubbed her back with one hand...

After washing up, the third girl hurried over to the second aunt. A maid held a lamp in front of her to illuminate the way. Xiaoman walked behind the third girl, holding a long wooden box in her arms...

"How is my aunt?" The third girl heard her voice before she saw her...

The second aunt had a sharp ear and shouted in the room: "Ping'er is here, cough cough..."

"Why is my aunt still coughing? Didn't the doctor say it's just a small cold and it will be better after taking medicine?" The third girl dragged a stool and sat down. She stretched out her hand to cover the second aunt's forehead and then her own forehead: "It's not hot at all.

ah"

"Auntie is fine." The second aunt took the third girl's hand and covered it. "See, your little hands are frozen. Go get a thermos." She said to her mother.

"It's New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow. My aunt needs to get better soon." The third girl put the second aunt's hand into the quilt, but then stretched it out again.

"It's just a little cold. I just coughed a little. It's okay. My mother has been very busy recently, so you should help me a little. This way, my mother will remember your kindness and choose a good son-in-law for you later."

"Why did my aunt talk about this again?" Then I remembered that I had something to give to my aunt: "Xiao Man"

Xiao Man stepped forward, placed the wooden box next to the bed, then stepped aside and stood.

The second aunt looked at it and asked: "This is it?"

"Auntie, open it and take a look." The three girls looked expectantly, and they looked at each other and smiled.

"Look, it must be something good." The second aunt stroked the box, and then slowly pulled out the wooden cover. It was a picture scroll.

The second aunt's eyes shone brightly, and she carefully took out the scroll. A pair of slender fingers gently removed the binding thread, and slowly unfolded it: "It's beautiful..." The second aunt turned her head away, coughed, and looked again: "Although the woman in the painting is happy,

But my eyes are full of longing..."

"White snow touches the green tiles, there are a few pillars of ice under the eaves, and the wind blows snow in front of the window, just like flowers and fallen leaves, sending the cold winter away, spring is coming, and we are not in the same eaves city, but our thoughts are far away and our hearts are close..."

"This painting was painted by my eldest sister, and the poem was written by my eldest sister. I didn't understand it, but I thought it was good, so I asked my eldest sister for it... Originally I only wanted poems, but my eldest sister said that the poems and words alone were too big.

I was a little tired, so I drew this picture. My eldest sister also said, let my aunt not dislike it, this is the picture of homesickness she drew..."

"So, it's a gift from the eldest girl?" asked the second aunt. Seeing the third girl nodding, the second aunt was very satisfied: "Although the eldest girl expressed her homesickness, her heart is the most precious... I think so, too.

I haven’t gone back to my hometown to visit my relatives for several years.”

The second aunt suddenly felt sad, and her joy just now disappeared. The third girl looked pitiful, and now she sat on the edge of the bed and hugged the second aunt: "Someday, Ping'er will accompany my aunt back to her hometown to visit her relatives."

"Okay." The second aunt stroked the third girl's head, and she felt much better now.

"Mom Xiang, hang this painting in front of the desk for me." The second aunt handed the scroll to Mama Xiang, and said to the third girl, "I really like this painting. The eldest girl is interested. Tomorrow you can give the eldest girl a gift in return for me.

Just think of it as a thank you cough cough..."

"Okay, okay, my aunt doesn't need to worry about this. It's important to take good care of her health now." The third girl helped the second aunt to lie down. At this time, the doctor was also outside.

After receiving the consent, the doctor entered the room to see the doctor. He sat down by the bed and felt the pulse: "Auntie, this is discomfort caused by stomach fire. Remember to drink more boiled water these days. White rice porridge nourishes the stomach. Try not to eat anything greasy.

Eat only fish and meat.”

"I asked a doctor before. I didn't cough at first, but after drinking this medicine, I made my cough worse," Xiang's mother said to the side.

"Is there a prescription? Let me take a look." Xiang's mother went to get it and gave it to the doctor. The doctor looked at it and said, "This prescription is for regulating the stomach. Just drink two doses and it will be fine. But there is nothing in the prescription to relieve cough..."

"I'll prescribe another prescription to relieve the cough." Xiang's mother rubbed the doctor's ink... After a while, the doctor prescribed a prescription...

"Three qian each of Sichuan clam, tangerine peel, pinellia, Poria, Atractylodes, Orange, and Platycodon, plus one qian of licorice. After the first two doses are finished, drink this cough medicine. You should drink at least five doses."

He handed the prescription to his mother, packed up his medicine box, and said: "This prescription is an ancestral soup recipe. My aunt can keep it for a long time. Anyone who has a cough in the family can drink it with it open."

"Thank you for your hard work, doctor." The second aunt nodded and asked Xiang's mother to see the doctor out of the house.

The third girl covered her with a quilt and bowed: "That aunt can have a good rest. My daughter will not disturb my aunt to rest now."

"Go and do your work, I'm a little sleepy too." The second aunt asked the maids to send the third girl off, but the third girl refused.
