Chapter 8: Just passed the ghost gate and encountered embarrassing things 2
After seeing off her mother, Xiaochun returned to the room where Mrs.
Shu Tan, how pitiful, what kind of sin did he commit in this life? He returned to Madam's room, sat by the bed and waited while embroidering some decorative patterns on the collar of Madam Xian's coat.
I could vaguely hear Mrs.
Three days have passed since the incident, and Xian Zijian has been in a coma. Occasionally she wakes up and just opens her eyes. She has been having a fever and can't drink enough water. Xiaochun had to use a soft cloth moistened with water to moisturize Xian Zijian's dry and flaky lips.
Change her dressing every day to relieve her pain.
At first, Mrs. Xian didn't know whether she was really in a coma or didn't want to face everyone. She was still half asleep and always stayed in bed. It wasn't until the third day that she remembered something and asked: "Xiaochun, where is that girl Ziyuan? What do I think?"
Haven't seen her for some time? And Master, haven't you been here these days?"
Xiaochun was packing a few pieces of washed and dried clothes. Hearing Mrs. Xian's question, he hesitated and said softly: "The second lady is still unconscious. The doctor said that she needs to rest for ten days and a half. Master, these days
I'm busy with things in the shop, but I heard from my grandfather that some clothes and accessories have been ordered by the palace, and they are needed urgently, so I don't go back home very often."
"Where's Zi Ai?" Mrs. Xian frowned, as if she didn't hear Xiaochun say that Xian Zi Ai was still unconscious.
"While I was learning the piano from my new concubine, I heard from Miss Qin Yun who was serving the eldest lady that the Guan family would come to the palace to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday in a few days. They invited the eldest lady to come with them to play the piano for the Queen Mother's birthday. The eldest lady has been concentrating on practicing the piano for the past three days.
I don't have time to come over." Xiaochun said softly, "Miss Qinyun came and told the servant that it was the master's order and that entering the palace is more important than anything else."
"Alas, Zi Ai is obedient and completely different from her sister." Mrs. Xian was not angry that her daughter did not come to see her. Instead, she said with pity, "I wonder if she endured hardship in the past three days? Was that woman mean to her?
Zi Ai has been smart, beautiful, cute and well-behaved since she was a child, which is really a big advantage for the Guan family. With Zi Ai's appearance, even if she enters the palace and becomes a crown princess, it is not an exaggeration."
Xiaochun didn't say anything. When the eldest lady came over, she was waiting on the side. She only thought that the eldest lady was very beautiful, but a little cold. She was not as easy to get close to as the second lady. In fact, the second lady was also quite good-looking. If she dressed the same as the eldest lady, she didn't say anything.
There are people who serve and people who compliment you, it's not much different.
"Go over and take a look, see if Zi Ai has lost weight? Does her face look good?" Mrs.
"
Xiaochun didn't dare to say not to go, but fortunately, this time she went to the new concubine's courtyard just to see the eldest daughter who was practicing piano, and to pick up some nice things to say, so that she wouldn't have the same terrible experience as the second daughter. Put down the things in your hands,
Xiaochun walked towards Wanqing's courtyard. In the past few days, the master had stayed there after returning from work outside. She did not dare to mention it to Mrs. Xian.
Before arriving at Wanqing's courtyard, she vaguely heard the sound of a melodious piano. Xiaochun didn't understand music, but thought it was very pleasant and festive. When she got to the door, she knocked on the door and said respectfully: "Is my concubine here? Is this slave?
Xiaochun, who is in the eldest lady's room, came over to see the eldest lady at the eldest lady's command."
"Come in." It was the voice of the eldest lady Xian Ziyi.
