Chapter 6 Rash
In the early morning of the next day, the sun rose in the east, and the sun shone on the earth, and the morning birds stood on the branches and chirped.

You don't need to look to know that today is another fine day with clear skies and bright sunshine.

"Longan, bring the new clothes my mother sent yesterday."

Longan Qiao replied: "Yes."

Hongzao walked into the room, put down the water basin in his hand and said: "Miss, it's still a little cold in the morning and evening these two days, is it a little thinner?"

Gu Yunxi leaned on the soft bed in front of the window, looked at the lively scene outside the window and said: "It's okay, mother has a heart of love, I naturally want to let people know."

Hongzao stopped persuading, and began to serve Gu Yunxi to freshen up.

After everything was ready, Gu Yunxi took longan and red dates to Shou'an Hall where the old lady lived.

Seeing Gu Yunxi, the maids in Shou'an Hall smiled and shouted: "Second Miss." Gu Yunxi smiled and nodded.

Stepping into the main room, I saw an old woman over [-] years old with silver hair sitting on the front seat, wearing a dark red ruyi cloud pattern beanie, with a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets on her wrists.

The whole person looks radiant, with a kind smile shining in a pair of vicissitudes of life eyes, which makes people feel very cordial.

Gu Yunxi smiled at Yanyan, saluted and said: "Xi'er met grandmother, mother."

The old lady smiled and nodded, motioning for her to sit beside her.

When the eldest lady saw this scene, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and her eyes turned slightly cold.

The majesty of the old lady is not close to the juniors, but she did not expect to love Gu Yunxi so much.

A wild girl from a concubine climbed too high.

At this moment, a laugh came from the courtyard, "It seems that I am late."

The maids opened the curtain, and a beautiful woman in a water-blue embroidered dress and a phoenix hairpin walked in.

Seeing the old lady, Gu Yunxi said: "This is the second young lady. Look, it's a sign that she was born. It compares to all the young ladies in the mansion, and the old lady can support people."

The old lady pretended to be angry and said, "I'm used to being glib."

The second wife replied: "I'm telling the truth." She covered her mouth and looked at the eldest lady, "Sister-in-law is a blessed person."

The eldest lady curled her lips and smiled slightly, and looked at Gu Yunxi with a loving mother's face, "He is indeed a good boy, and this dress suits you very well."

"Yo, it's still made of streamer gauze, my sister-in-law is really willing."

The second lady looked carefully at Gu Yunxi's clothes, and said with a little surprise.

"Xi'er accompanied the old lady to the temple to pay respects to the Buddha, but she hasn't returned for seven years, so naturally she should cherish her more."

The streamer yarn material must be hand-woven from the finest silk bit by bit, which is labor-intensive and therefore expensive.

But it is widely sought after by daughters of wealthy families in Kyoto.As the name suggests, streamer gauze is worn on the body, shining brightly and beautifully under the sunlight.

The new clothes just delivered yesterday, I can't wait to put them on today, so I can't hold back, but I think highly of her.

When the old lady heard this, she was very satisfied with the move of the eldest lady.

Sitting beside the old lady, Gu Yunxi asked softly, "Did grandma's legs still hurt in the past two days?"

When the old lady Liu was young, she fell into the water in the cold winter months, and whenever it rained or snowed, she always felt pain for a while.It had just rained two days ago, so Gu Yunxi asked a little worriedly.

The old lady patted her hand and said: "It doesn't hurt, there are many maids and women in the house, and they all do their best to serve her, so don't worry."

"You're such a good boy who loves others. The old lady didn't love you for nothing." The second lady sat aside and responded with a smile.

"That's right, thanks to Xi'er, an old woman who accompanied me all these years, and gave me hot compresses with herbs every day, after a few years, the pain in my legs has eased a lot."

The old lady thought of the days and nights of the past few years, and felt even more fond of Gu Yunxi in her heart.

"Grandmother, I have finished copying half of the Buddhist scriptures I copied before." Gu Yunxi was a little embarrassed by the praise, and her face flushed a little.

Hongzao presented the copied Buddhist scriptures to the old lady.

The second lady went up to have a look, eyes full of envy, and said: "This word is really well written, it shows that you have put your heart into it. If I had known earlier, I would have entrusted Ziyan to the old lady to raise her."

Lin Ziyan was born by the second wife, Wu Shi. The second master has been working outside in recent years. The husband and wife get together less often and leave more, and they only have Lin Ziyan.

There are no wives and concubines in the Erfang Mansion, so the Second Wife's methods can be seen.

At present, the Lin family is headed by the aunt Yang's family, and the eldest and second families have been fighting for many years, and it is natural that open and dark arrows are indispensable.

The old lady was very happy with the second lady's funny words. Seeing that the time was almost up, the old lady waved her hand to let everyone back down.

"Grandmother, granddaughter will take care of you and go to the room to rest." Gu Yunxi suggested seeing the old lady's tired face.

The old lady sighed, "When one is old, one cannot sleep well in another place."

The old lady was lying on the bed, and Gu Yunxi sat on the small table beside her and rubbed her legs.The palms are warm and the strength is moderate.The old lady gradually became drowsy.

Seeing this, Qiu's mother at the side brought a cup of tea and put it on the small table behind Gu Yunxi, and whispered: "Second Miss, you've worked hard, let's have a sip of tea and rest for a while."

Gu Yunxi smiled, feeling a little itchy on the neck, and stretched out her hand to scratch it.

Qiu's mother took a closer look and saw dense red spots on Gu Yunxi's neck. She asked with concern, "What did Second Miss eat? Why did you get rubella?"

Gu Yunxi looked puzzled: "I ate the same as usual this morning, why did I get rubella?" It felt a little itchy, and I wanted to scratch it with my hand.

"Second Miss, don't scratch it, or I'm afraid there will be scars." Qiu's mother stepped forward and held Gu Yunxi's hand.

Suddenly I smelled a faint fragrance, I felt like I had smelled it somewhere: "Second Miss, I'd better go back to the room to wash and apply some medicine, otherwise some people will suffer."

The old lady slept very comfortably this time, and when she woke up, she saw Qiu's mother standing in front of the bed, with downcast eyes wondering what she was thinking.

"What's the matter? You're so absent-minded." Qiu's mother is the old lady's dowry maid. She has taken care of the old lady for decades, and the old lady can tell at a glance that she has something on her mind.

Qiu's mother retreated from the servants and said to the old lady: "I do have something I want to report."

Seeing her serious expression, the old lady frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

Qiu's mother told the truth about what happened just now, and added: "The scent that the servant smells is the smell of soaked nettle seeds."

Nettle is a medicinal herb that has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, but it can only be taken after cooking. Daily contact can easily cause rubella, and the whole body is extremely itchy. Once scratched, it will leave scars.

The old lady stopped turning the hand of the prayer beads, and slapped the bed hard, obviously angry:

"If it wasn't for Xi'er taking care of my old bones day and night, it's hard to say whether I would have survived until today. Just after returning home, she couldn't help being so restless, she made a move under my eyelids, it's because her daughter has been wronged , come to find a place!"

Qiu's mother lowered her head and persuaded: "Old madam, this matter has not been investigated yet, and it may not be the eldest madam."

"Who else would it be if it wasn't her? She is in charge of the entire Lin Mansion. Liu Guangsha is such a precious material, which servant dares to be so negligent?"

The old lady calmed down the anger in her heart, "You send a copy of the cooling ointment in my room, and it will make you feel better after you apply it. Don't say anything unnecessary, so that she won't be sad."

"Yes."

Qiu's mother quickly responded, the eldest lady is too impatient, the second young lady is well-behaved and sensible, but she is just a concubine who can't stand in the way of the eldest lady, why bother to force her.

Qiu's mother walked to the door, and the old lady stopped her again and said: "After delivering the medicine, go to the front yard and invite the elder. The Lin family has a century-old reputation. If there are gossip about treating concubines harshly, it will be a joke!"
