Chapter 67 Physical and mental illnesses are difficult to treat
Back in his room, Beifei told Lin Zhixiu about the quarrel between Lin Jiangwan and Yuan.
Lin Zhixiu was very satisfied.
One is Lin Jiangwan, who is as bright as the scorching sun, and the other is the eldest wife of the Lin family, reduced to this situation...
Haha, in retaliation for them, you can't use a knife to cut them, or point your nose at them and curse them. It's not bad to just gently pull their hearts with a dull knife like this!
Next, the house was quiet for a few days. Yuan was not as arrogant as the previous few days, but there was no one around.
Huang and Lin Zhirong were also relatively quiet and did not find fault with her.
Lin Zhixiu was in a happy mood and was looking in the mirror in the room. Xiyu came in angrily, "Miss, I don't know who is talkative enough to slander you. There are bad things being said outside."
Lin Zhixiu posed left and right, "Let them pass on whatever they want." She also touched her cheeks that looked like freshly cooked egg whites in a coquettish way.
"I'm so good-looking! How come I didn't realize it in my last life?" he muttered stingily.
Xiyu asked, "Miss, what did you say?"
"nothing."
Nanny Li next to the old lady came and said, "Third Miss, the old lady invites you." There was a hint of schadenfreude in her voice.
Lin Zhixiu was still looking at herself and feeling sorry for herself. She admired it carefully for a while. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Excuse me, I'd like to send a message to you. Dongyun, please give me a reward for Grandma Li."
The reward is quite heavy. But what’s going on with this lady’s expression?
From the beginning to the end, I didn’t give myself a glance... I was just giving a reward to my subordinates.
I am not a little girl, but the popular person in front of the old lady!
Don’t you see any respect?!
Grandma Li was unhappy and her face was as dark as water.
Lin Zhixiu didn't look at her face, and finally patted her little face. "Let's go!"
After standing up and walking away with the others, Grandma Li saw that she was still standing here and quickly followed her.
When they arrived at the old lady's house, Old Mrs. Lin didn't look good either.
Lin Zhixiu pretended not to know and saluted the old lady with a sweet smile.
The old lady stared at her and said nothing.
Lin Zhixiu sat down and said to the old lady, "Grandma, grandfather's birthday banquet was the first major event Xiu'er participated in in the family. Although she only invited some relatives and friends, she clearly felt the wealth and status of the Lin family. Even the emperor and his wife
, even personally wrote inscriptions for my grandfather, this is really a great honor. There are so many young ladies coming to the family, including the head of Wenhua County, Xiu'er looks at it, nothing else, just this experience... Xiu'er
Because she has been away from the capital all year round, she is very different from other girls. Xiu'er doesn't know or understand the people and things they mentioned. Look, how should you participate in something like the Qiu Hunt? You need to be prepared.
What? I don’t know! I really need a nanny’s guidance. Can the nanny you mentioned last time be available in the next two days? My uncle said that if you can’t find one at home, he can find one for you.”
She was sitting upright and talking, as if it were natural.
The old lady looked at her posture and listened to her words. She really didn't like her eyes and ears... so arrogant! Even after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't reply to her words.
Nanny Li next to her coughed.
The old lady suddenly remembered the topic just now, "Girl Xiu, don't talk about this yet. Do you know what the outside world has said about you in the past two days?"
Lin Zhixiu was puzzled, "What are you saying about me? Grandma, I am a girl, and I don't even recognize all my relatives. When I arrived in the capital, I only went to the Huang family with you, and we entertained relatives and friends at home. What can others say?"
What am I?" She looked incredulous.
The old lady snorted, "Why are you dragging me along everywhere? What does it have to do with me?"
Grandma Li said, "Third girl, there are rumors outside...that the third girl returned to Beijing without your permission. It's not very pleasant to hear. The old lady was unhappy after hearing this."
"Huh? Grandma, didn't Aunt Liu explain it to you and auntie that day!?"
Old lady: "She said it, but can you explain the rumors? If a girl's family makes people talk like this, it's your fault!"
Aunt Li also wanted to talk to her, but Lin Zhixiu turned away from her. With such a cold look, Aunt Li couldn't help but shut her mouth.
"Rumors... discussions, eh?! Grandma, is it Mrs. Huang who did it? She seems to have a lot of opinions about our grandparents. The boss was not happy when she saw me that day! She praised all the girls in the room.
, just pass Xiu'er! Xiu'er also saw her in the birthday shed, whispering and whispering to the ladies and girls. To say that the eldest lady of the Huang family is so magnanimous...!"
The old lady slapped the table and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Zhixiu felt aggrieved, "Xiu'er just feels that she is worse than my eldest aunt!"
The old lady said, "Talk is one of the seven things you can do! If you say such nonsense, you must be severely punished!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "But grandma, this is someone else's fault of Xiu'er's words! It's not provoked by anyone... Look, it's not Mrs. Huang, is it our own family? It shouldn't be! Let outsiders talk about it."
, Grandma, you are so shameless! This person is very stupid for tearing down his own family. According to my granddaughter, I really should ask questions carefully. If the slave said nonsense, he will have to be dragged to the middle of the courtyard and slapped in the mouth. Kill the chicken.
Look! If it were uncles, aunts and sisters... Oh, they wouldn't do it, would they? So, either Mrs. Huang or the slaves are talking nonsense... Grandma, even though my granddaughter has done this, she is not afraid of others saying it.
. But after all, it’s none of anyone else’s business. If there’s something going on at home, just spread it like this, how can it be possible!”
She shook her head and sighed.
The old lady looked at such a beautiful little girl and spoke coquettishly, but why did she speak so awkwardly? She looked at Lin Zhixiu unhappily and said, "Please calm down for a while! Ever since you came back, you have felt at home."
It’s noisy.”
Lin Zhixiu responded.
Aunt Li said, "Third girl, Miss Zhixuan, the second-bedroom girl, is a bit impatient. You should be careful when walking around with her. Don't suffer a disadvantage!"
The old lady said, "That's right! The second roommate of the Lin family, you just need to be polite! You don't have to be so close. That girl Xuan does things without a sense of proportion! I don't know if she is not being disciplined or if she is just following the example. In short, don't provoke them!!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Yes, grandma. There is a difference between inside and outside, and Xiu'er knows that. In fact, Xiu'er is not familiar with them either. That day, my great-uncle just said that she regretted not being nicer to my father... The second sister told the elder
My sister’s fiancé came over and interrupted her conversation, but she never spoke again! Later, Uncle Liu..."
When Old Mrs. Lin heard this, her scalp went crazy. She stared and slapped the table, "What are you talking about again?"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Ah?! Which sentence is nonsense?"
Old Mrs. Lin said, "Why do you mean your second sister is older than you...isn't this nonsense?!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "Xiu'er is not talking nonsense!? They came here together. If you don't believe it, ask your aunt and uncle! Oh, the eldest brother was also there. The second sister was walking next to the eldest brother-in-law who was Shen..." By my side!"
Old Mrs. Lin slammed the table repeatedly, "You still said! Go back and stay alone! I'm so angry! Get her a copy of "The Commandments of Women" and copy it three times a day. For ten days in a row! Don't leave the hospital!"
Seeing that the old lady was unhappy, Lin Zhixiu also pouted and left.
Old Mrs. Lin kept an eye on it and sent someone to ask about what happened that day. As a result, it turned out that there was such a paradox. The old lady thought that she had accidentally walked to one place, and there were so many people present! It can be seen that there were so many people present. It's Lin Zhixiu who's talking nonsense. Let Aunt Li go and let Lin Zhixiu continue copying for five more days!
But I felt a little awkward in my heart, so I found a fault later and punished Lin Zhirong for copying "The Women's Commandments" for one day.
This kind of news naturally came to Lin Zhifang from someone who was interested. She was stunned when she heard it.
Is this something Lin Zhirong has planned? Or is Lin Zhixiu stirring up trouble?
Or maybe it’s: one was met by accident, and the other was spoken to by accident?
Have you been careless?! Before, she had never thought that she should pay attention to this aspect.
She is a good relative, but she is not unworthy of it! Just marry openly and be the Shen family's wife with all your heart. She has long seen her mother's shortcomings, and those mistakes will not appear in her. It is precisely because I am outstanding, so I have this family.
What else is there to worry about?
I didn't expect Lin Zhixiu to say such words, Lin Zhirong...how is this possible?
Now that things have come to this, what does she want to do? What can she do?
Then I thought of that day, when Lin Zhixiu walked in with Mrs. Liu, the smile on her face was as bright as a flower... She also smiled after returning home, and she looked very good-looking, but not as dazzling as that day.
She felt guilty at the time. If she were a man, if she were Shen Jing... No! No way. How could such a thing happen to her?
But in the end, I felt uneasy.
I brought two snacks and went to Chaoyunju.
Lin Zhixiu was copying "Female Commandments" when he saw her coming. He put down his pen with a smile and said, "Big sister is here?"
"I heard that you were punished by your grandmother?" Lin Zhifang teased her gently.
Lin Zhixiu sighed exaggeratedly, "I don't know who sued me in front of my grandmother. Alas, it's really not easy for me!"
Lin Zhifang smiled and said, "Copying it three times a day is not a lot. Grandma is not really punishing you, she is just asking you to calm down."
Lin Zhixiu said, "I haven't gone anywhere recently. I've just been at home. Aren't you still at peace? I want to go to my uncle's house, but my grandmother won't let me."
"Your uncle is so busy with official duties every day! He doesn't have a mistress at home, so he just has to deal with life. If you go, he will have to consider your feelings, and he will probably be even busier!"
Lin Zhixiu nodded, "That's true! I hope to have an aunt soon!"
"It will happen soon." Lin Zhifang made a mental note in her mind. If she gets married in the future, if her uncle still hasn't gotten married, she can help her see if this is how the relationship should be maintained. How can all housewives be so kind? What a storm!
"Sister, look, this is what the riding clothes I want to make look like! Does it look good?"
She held some pieces of paper for Lin Zhifang to read.
Lin Zhifang said, "You can do this, let me see? Ah, it looks really good. My sister also has a set of riding clothes that she hasn't worn yet. If you don't have time to make them, you can just wear that one."
"Sister, you are so kind. I really have materials suitable for making riding clothes. If I don't have time to make them, I'll have the audacity to ask eldest sister for them!" Then he asked Lin Zhifang about the details.
Seeing that Lin Zhixiu didn't mention anything about Lin Zhirong and Shen Jing, she couldn't take the initiative to bring it up, as if she didn't care about it...
After dawdling for a while, he left.
———— Yan Mansion, Mrs. Yan’s illness has recovered.
But Lin Jiangwan was sick. It was more of a mental illness than a physical illness.
In the room where she was alone, she stared at the top of the bed, wondering why this day was so painful.
————The second room of the Lin family, the yard has been much quieter these two days, because Lin Zhixuan was in the house figuring out how to make clothes and how to wear jewelry.
The fabric was wrapped around her body, and the jewelry was stuck on her head. She heard about Qiu Lie at the birthday banquet. And she heard that the Lin family girl might go this year, so she secretly told Lin Zhifang at that time,
She wants to go too.
Lin Zhifang promised that if her grandmother really asked her to take her sisters there, she would try to get her a post.
Lin Zhixuan couldn't tell that this was a perfunctory statement, but took it as the truth. She was already thinking about what to wear for autumn hunting.
Lin Song didn't leave the house, he was sick.
At first, Mingyue was not allowed to tell the old lady. After staying up for a few days, he developed a fever, but he didn't say anything. Then, it suddenly became serious.
Mingyue hurriedly went to tell the old lady, and the old lady was stunned.
I quickly invited a doctor to come, and even took medicine and acupuncture to control the fever, but I suddenly couldn't stand it anymore, my breath was dying, and I couldn't get out of bed.
I couldn't fall asleep or wake up. My chest was rising and falling slightly, and I just kept going.
The old doctor had read it to him for many years, and this time he read it carefully again. Finally, he shook his head with the old lady.
"There is nothing I can do. I know your uncle, I have seen him for so many years. You have also consulted Dr. Zhang, and he has the same idea as me. Uncle Lin is already weak, and a minor illness may cause him to relapse."
I can’t come here, so I can only be pampered on weekdays. Now, I’m afraid it’s not good. Sigh..."
"Doctor, please think of something," Mrs. Lin Er begged.
"I'm afraid it's going to take a lot of precious medicinal materials! That's just a lot of money...and even if he recovers this time, I'm afraid he'll be..."
"You don't have to worry about this, I just want him to live." The old lady burst into tears.
"Then... then this medicine is really not cheap. Ordinary medicinal materials may not be good. Even old ginseng will take hundreds of years... In this way, there may be a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, it will not last ten days..."
"A hundred-year-old ginseng..." the old lady gritted her teeth, "Just give me the prescription!" Even if we sell our house and property, we must save him!
The old doctor had no choice but to prescribe a prescription.
When I took a quick look, I saw that it was full of ginseng, deer antler, and Ganoderma lucidum.
The old doctor said, "Others are fine, but for this ginseng, the older it is, the better the effect will be. In my opinion, old lady, you should do your best and obey the destiny. Even if you lose everything, you may not be able to... Don't think that I speak harshly."
.”
The old lady said, "I know you are thinking about me, but if he can't survive, this family will be over."
The old doctor shook his head, and the young apprentice carried the medicine box on his back and walked away on crutches.
The old lady took the prescription and looked desperately at her eldest grandson lying on the bed and consuming it.
Suddenly there was a sound of laughter outside, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What is she doing?"
The old grandma went out for a while and came back, "Miss, please hire a tailor to make clothes."
The old lady was so desperate that she wished she could die immediately.
In fact, the author of this article did some research and found that the most powerful ginseng is seven or eight years old. No matter how long it takes, it just...is what it is? It should be woody, which means it has become a tree.
The efficacy of the medicine is weakened.
But if it’s only seven or eight years old, it doesn’t seem unusual. So I might as well make it a hundred years old!
