Zhumen Chunshen

Chapter 325 Housekeeper Disturbance ([-])

"Mother Li, Mother has just taken Tianwang Buxin Pill, and now I drink ginseng soup, I'm afraid it will conflict with you, why don't you drink it later! Mother, I will give you a massage, so you can relax and close your eyes. For a while!" Yao Cunhui said with a nonsense smile because he couldn't see it anymore.

"Then—alright!" Li's mother nodded and smiled, "Then madam, don't say anything, don't worry about anything, just take a good rest for a while!"

Yao Cunhui nodded slightly to Li's mother with a smile, which meant to reassure her that she would not lead Mrs. Xiao to say anything, and Li's mother smiled gratefully at her, so she was relieved.

Yao Cunhui was sitting in front of the couch, gently massaging both sides of Mrs. Xiao's temples with both hands, and moving down, gently rubbing the back of the neck and shoulders.Suddenly, he raised his head and ordered Jin Ying and Jin Mei to stay with Mrs. Xiao for lunch today. They specially ordered stewed crucian carp with Atractylodes astragalus, black chicken stewed with yam, and served with some hot and sour shredded radish, kohlrabi, dried prunes and other side dishes. , and told them to cook a bowl of soft porridge with Japonica rice in the small kitchen, and bring it over when the time comes.

After hearing this, Jin Ying hesitated and said: "Princess, you don't know, the doctor said that Madam has a bad stomach, fasting hot and sour ginger and scallions, Madam always uses light food!"

"It's okay to use a little once in a while, go prepare it!" Yao Cunhui smiled.It's no wonder Mrs. Xiao can't eat. She eats ginseng soup and all kinds of bitter medicine and tonic all day long, so her appetite is completely ruined. Even the bland dishes make her sick!For a long time, the cycle goes back and forth, and it will be strange when the body is well.

Yao Cunhui worked hard, and seeing Mrs. Xiao falling asleep, he quietly took her pulse.Mrs. Xiao's arms are not skinny, but rather fat, but the fat is puffy, and it feels like a sponge without elasticity and vitality.Yao Cunhui's heart felt cold, and it took a lot of effort to find Mrs. Xiao's pulse.

The pulse was beating very slowly and sluggishly, and he couldn't find it again if he didn't pay attention, which showed that he was extremely weak.Yao Cunhui's brows were deeply frowned, and there was a secret worry in his heart. It's hard to say how long Madam Xiao will last like this.But it is not obvious from the outside, she has flesh on her body and face, and sometimes her face is rosy—that is an abnormal flush, and anyone who sees her will not think of serious illness, but just feel that she is sick. The body is good, the mental state is a bit bad, that's all!

And it doesn't mean that her spirit is not good at all, at least half a month in a month, she can go to pay respects to Old Madam Shen, and there are two or three hours in a day when she can barely get up and sit.

Yao Cunhui's heart was in a mess, his eyes turned slightly inadvertently, and he suddenly found that Mrs. Xiao was looking at her quietly with her eyes open and smiling.

"Uh, mother, I—" Yao Cunhui was so embarrassed that she quickly withdrew her hand as if it was burning hot, and her face turned red.

"How's your mother?" Mrs. Xiao didn't seem to see her embarrassment, but asked softly with a smile.

Yao Cunhui felt relieved and was very grateful, so he simply smiled and said: "I haven't got the pulse well yet, I dare not say it, why don't I take the pulse for my mother?"

"Okay." Mrs. Xiao nodded with a smile.

Yao Cunhui then settled down, and took care of Mrs. Xiao carefully, and what he said was indeed almost the same as his doctor.Mrs. Xiao nodded and smiled, and didn't pay attention to anything.

Yao Cunhui suddenly felt deflated. What the doctor said was good, but he was a bit too vague in terms of management and conditioning.Yao Cunhui was embarrassed to ask Mrs. Xiao directly for the prescription, the suspicion was too obvious, and she seemed a little frivolous.She could tell that Mrs. Xiao and Mama Li trusted the doctor very much.

"Mother, the cure depends on medicine, but the body's recuperation has to be matched with the diet. How can you get blood if you don't eat five grains? How about letting the mother-in-law arrange the diet in the future? With the medicine, maybe there will be improvement!"

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you! You still have your own things to do! Hehe, when you find out later, you will feel bad!" Mrs. Xiao pondered for a while but said with a smile.

Hearing Shen Quan being mentioned by her, Yao Cunhui felt a lot of thoughts in his heart. The man said he would come back in seven or eight days, but the other day he wrote a letter saying that something was delayed and he couldn't come back for a while, so she felt uncomfortable in the room. a while.

"No trouble, the daughter-in-law is just talking, there are girls! As for the prince, the daughter-in-law serves the mother, the prince knows that there is only joy, so you can let the daughter-in-law also please the prince!" Yao Cunhui said with a smile.

Mrs. Xiao's face froze slightly, and her smile paused, "Then, just tell Mama Li and the others, but don't tire yourself out!"

"Yes, mother!" Yao Cunhui nodded with a smile.

After a while the lunch was served, and Yao Cunhui served Mrs. Xiao for dinner.Li's mother frowned when she saw those side dishes, she couldn't say Yao Cunhui's fault, so she had to persuade Mrs. Xiao.Mrs. Xiao used to like all kinds of side dishes, but now that I think about it, I haven't seen them at the table for more than a year. Yao Cunhui picked it up for her, and she ate it happily. Mother Li had no choice but to hold back.

Mrs. Xiao's appetite increased greatly for this meal, she used half a bowl of porridge, half a bowl of stewed chicken soup with yam, and two pieces of fish.Li's mother was happy again when she saw her, she was uneasy after all, and asked Yao Cunhui quietly afterward: "Is it okay for Madam to use some side dishes? The doctor told me that Madam's diet is light, so you can't use those hot and sour things!" Yao Cunhui had no choice but to comfort her again, and Li's mother was temporarily relieved.

No one expected that in the middle of the night, Mrs. Xiao suddenly became ill, her face was pale, her body was shaking, she was gasping for breath and almost couldn't breathe, she vomited yellow bile!
The lights in Yanshun's residence were brightly lit, even Mrs. Shen was alarmed.

Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Duan, their wives, daughters, and Yao Cunhui all came and waited anxiously in the outer hall.

Mrs. Shen was relieved when she saw the doctor and Mama Li came out and heard that Mrs. Xiao's condition had stabilized for the time being.Seeing that there were too many people in a mess, it was hard to ask carefully, so he sent away Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Duan and others, leaving only Mrs. Xue and Yao Cunhui.

After asking the doctor something, Mrs. Shen hurriedly ordered someone to decoct the medicine, and took Mrs. Xue and Yao Cunhui into the bedroom to see Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao's face was gray and dull, her eyes were a little slack, and she half-lyed against the head of the bed with a sullen look, as if she had aged seven or eight years suddenly.

Seeing Mrs. Shen coming in person, Mrs. Xiao was startled, and hurriedly struggled to get up. Mrs. Shen hurriedly stepped forward to hold her down, "Quickly don't move, lie down and rest! Your body is important, those vain manners Don't worry about it!"

"The old matriarch was alarmed in the middle of the night, the daughter-in-law is really unfilial!" Mrs. Xiao apologized panting.

"What does the whole family say about this!" Mrs. Shen patted her hand lightly, and comforted her, Madam Xiao answered them one by one.

"Fortunately, sister-in-law, you are fine, and almost scared us all! The third and fourth younger siblings and a few juniors also came. I am relieved to hear that sister-in-law is fine!"

"You all have hearts, it's because I'm too weak!" Mrs. Xiao sighed.

"Don't say that, you, just rest in peace and rest, and don't worry about the rest!" Old Madam Shen couldn't help sighing.Although the eldest daughter-in-law is not in good health, as long as she is around, the eldest house can be counted as being supported by elders, and everyone is more or less scrupulous.If she's not here, what's the use of the new wife coming in?I'm afraid this inner house is going to be messed up even more!

"Did sister-in-law eat something that shouldn't be eaten during the day? She has always been fine, why did she suddenly become so serious?" Xue asked puzzledly, and looked up at Mama Li, "Mama Li, you serve me every day. Sister-in-law, tell me!"

Li's mother was speechless for a while, she subconsciously looked at Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Shen also noticed Mama Li's reaction before she knew it, her face froze, and she reprimanded in a deep voice: "What's the matter, tell me quickly! You have been with your wife for decades, don't you know how to take care of others? Or did you become impatient after a long time and steal tricks? Tell me, what happened!"

"I don't dare! This old slave has always been loyal to his wife," Li's mother heard this seriously, and quickly knelt down, and Jin Ying, Jin Mei and others also knelt down.

Under the aggressive gaze of Mrs. Shen, Mama Li didn't dare to hide any more, so she revealed the fact that Mrs. Xiao used hot and sour side dishes for lunch.Mama Li glanced at Yao Cunhui guiltily, hoping that the princess would not blame her.

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue scolded: "Mother Li, you are an old man next to my sister-in-law, how could you make such a mistake! Didn't the doctor tell my sister-in-law to eat lightly and not to stimulate the stomach? Even I know why you Didn't take it to heart!"

Old Madam Shen's face was frosty, she turned her head to Xue Shi and said, "Take two smart and loyal girls over to Yan Shunju to take care of you! This kind of non-compliance with the doctor's orders can't happen again!" Old Madam Shen His cold and stern eyes were fixed on Li's mother, and Li's mother was about to explode.

"It's me," Yao Cunhui hurriedly knelt down, "It was my idea——"

"Nephew and daughter-in-law, how can you be so ignorant! If something happens to sister-in-law, can you bear it!" Before Yao Cunhui could finish speaking, Mrs. Xue blamed her as an elder.

"Mother has a bad appetite. I just want her to eat more food. No matter how good medicine is, it is not as good as five grains to support people! Medicine can cure diseases, but food is needed to regulate the body. Mother has never had an appetite. Every meal With only such a small amount, how can I sustain it after a long time, I feel distressed just looking at it!"

"Old Madam, it's my own idea, it's none of Hui'er's business! Hui'er did nothing wrong!" Mrs. Xiao also hurriedly helped Yao Cunhui speak.Mrs. Xiao was secretly angry, she only spoke to Mrs. Shen, without turning her eyes to Mrs. Xue.Her daughter-in-law doesn't have the turn of others to preach in front of her!
Li's mother also hurriedly replied, saying that Madam ate half a bowl of round-grained rice porridge, two pieces of fish, and drank a small bowl of soup, and she was in good spirits all afternoon.

"But tonight, there will be problems!" Xue said dissatisfied.
