Chapter 149 Rumors
After all, the backyard of the Hou's Mansion has been peaceful for too long, not to mention that Manni is very popular on weekdays. This time, she was transferred to work in Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing overnight after just arguing with others, which naturally attracted countless discussions.

There are many women in the backyard, and there are many right and wrong. Manny's departure is like a stone falling on the calm water, stirring up a thousand waves. There are even more discussions in private. The women can't help but look at him while talking about him. Bisha Courtyard: There lived an ordinary woman who had the flesh and blood of the Ye family ahead of everyone else...

The women in the backyard of the Hou Mansion all came with the dream of flying up the branches and becoming aunts.Although they were overwhelmed by the young lady when they first came, they have all been trained and know that it is only natural for concubines to be suppressed by the mistress.What's more, the Young Madam came from a noble family, and she and the Young Marquis were newly married, it was because of their deep affection and jealousy, it was rare for them to be sent to do chores instead of kicking people out of the house directly. generous.

But this Ayu, what is the background, born so unbearably, can be ahead of the young lady...

For a time, gossip.

This is what Li Ci wanted.

She deliberately didn't explain, let the rumors ferment, and specially asked Zhang Nanny to reprimand the leaders, and the Bisha courtyard was also kept in tight hands by the additional maids.

She knew that Ayu was good at pretending, and she also knew that Manny was not serious and honest when she went to Bisha Courtyard to make trouble.

But she still wants to do this. Where there are people, there is selfishness, let alone a group of women?These women don't worry about being few but about being uneven. They don't hate Lici's repression but hate Ayu for stealing the limelight.As long as they are incited to have prejudice against Ayu, in the future Ayu wants to stir up troubles in the small pond in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and I am afraid that he will not be able to escape.

A woman who was originally unremarkable in appearance could easily gain an advantage in public opinion in the battle in the backyard.Therefore, Li Ci had to cut off her communication with the outside world before she could win sympathy.

In the first opportunity, let her be in a position to be defeated.

Of course, the raging rumors had another purpose: to urge Ye Chuan to settle Ayu's mother and son quickly.

It can be said that Ayu's biggest support in the backyard of Ye's family is his past friendship with Ye Chuan.Ye Chuan is nostalgic, not to mention Ayu used to be gentle and considerate to him when he was young.It is extremely difficult for him to believe that his good sister has unreasonable thoughts about him and is trying to plot against him.

Only when Ye Chuan realized that Ayu's stay in the backyard of the Ye family would bring troubles to countless people, and his words were terrifying, would Ye Chuan make up his mind to send her out.

So Li Ci kept silent, let the situation develop, and was busy every day, focusing on the preparations for Songhe Tower and preparing for the upcoming New Year.

Feng Ling'er is also a straightforward person, and within three days after the conversation, he sent someone to send over the land deed.Although it was a free gift, Li Ci was not good at accepting such a big favor, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and asked the steward to pick out a few gifts for Feng Ling'er, and at the same time asked him to find out if there is a quiet courtyard.

As a result, at night, there were new right and wrong in the backyard.

……

……

Xiao Zhiqian liked the construction of low-rent housing proposed by Li Ci through Ye Chuan. After seeing it, he liked it a lot. He asked Ye Chuan to enter the palace to discuss the feasibility of this proposal and the details that need to be paid attention to in actual operation with a group of veterans for three consecutive days. .Ye Chuan knew that his brother-in-law wanted to praise him and let those old-fashioned old officials recognize his ability, so he went out early and returned late every day without any complaints. The first thing he did after returning was to go to Li Ci's office to discuss today's affairs with her. Whether the answer is appropriate in front of the hall, and the problems that may be encountered tomorrow.

——It can be said that there is nothing that cannot be said between husband and wife.

On this day, Ye Chuan had just returned home and was going to Nanyuan as usual, so he got off his horse when he saw an ugly maid looking around at the corner.He knew that some women in the backyard had thoughts that they shouldn't have. Although they were in a good mood today, even an ordinary maid dared to spy on the master.

The servant girl froze in fright, and said after a long time: "Your maidservant... I am an servant of the Bisha Courtyard... Mrs. Ayu... Your husband suddenly vomited and diarrhea... Mrs. Ayu sent this servant to the front to see if Shaohou has returned... "

Hearing that something happened to Ayu's child, Ye Chuan immediately changed his color, and asked with concern, "vomiting and diarrhea? When did it happen?"

The servant girl had come to her senses at this time, thought about it carefully, and said: "It started at Shen Shi."

Ye Chuan looked at the big clepsydra in the yard, it was already the middle of the hour, that is to say——

The child was ill for nearly two hours!

Can't help feeling anxious, ordered the servant girl to lead the way, and hurriedly said: "Is the situation serious? What did the doctor say after seeing it? Which doctor from which hospital did you invite?"

The servant girl seemed to be frightened by the series of questions from Shaohou, and remained silent all the way until Bisha's courtyard, then said in a voice like a gnat: "...Miss Ayu said that because of her affairs a few days ago, Manni was kicked out. Go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. This time, your husband is suffering from a minor illness, so don’t disturb the outside world, so...so I didn’t invite a doctor..."

"Bullshit!"

Ye Chuan was furious when he heard the words, and asked again: "Does Madam know?"

Because of Shaohou's sudden stern voice, the servant girl turned pale with fright, and said cautiously: "This servant...is sent to see if Shaohou has returned... I wonder if Madam Ayu ordered someone to inform Young Madam..."

"That means you don't know if she sent someone to notify the young lady?"

Looking at the Bisha Courtyard where there were few people, Ye Chuan stood upside down with sword eyebrows, and when the group of maidservants who were about to come towards him drank enough, he ordered them to go to Nanyuan immediately and ask the young lady to come over.

Seeing Shaohou's serious face, the maids knew that something serious must have happened, so they didn't care about being reserved, so they lifted their skirts and ran towards the south courtyard.

But Ye Chuan also didn't enter the Bisha Courtyard, he stood at the entrance of the courtyard, even though the servant girl begged and wept, he remained motionless.It wasn't until Li Ci appeared in sight wrapped in fur surrounded by maidservants that she calmed down.

"What happened here, Ayu?"

As soon as Pu met her, Li Ci asked with concern. She had good ears and eyes, and knew that Ayu's child was not acclimated to vomiting and diarrhea, but she deliberately pretended not to know it.

You don't want me to know about this, and you want to flatter Ye Chuan with your child, so why should I ruin your plan?

Ye Chuan looked at her blankly, and said, "The child is vomiting and diarrhea, and is suffering."

Upon hearing this, Li Ci immediately said to the steward behind him, "Go and invite Dr. Lin who is the best at pediatrics in Beijing."

"Yes."

Nanny took the order and was about to go down when Li Ci said again: "Go in the carriage, don't delay."

"The servant knows."

After finishing speaking, the nanny stepped back, and Li Ci said to the other nanny, "Nurse Qian is also a good hand at taking care of the children in the inner courtyard, so I will have to trouble you later."

"Old slave understands."

Seeing her orderly order, Ye Chuan couldn't help but praise: "Madam really has a plan."

Li Ci said: "Young Marquis sent someone to look for me to come to Bisha Courtyard. Although I don't know why, I guess it's probably because of Miss Ayu. I reckon that Miss Ayu is strong and kind, so she must be invulnerable to all kinds of poisons. On the contrary, the child, when he first came to the capital, he will inevitably be uncomfortable with the environment, so he specially brought Madam Qian along, so that if anything happens, she can help her."

"Madam is very kind."

Li Ci smiled and said: "It's just a rainy day, but I didn't want to, and I ran into it."

So they joined hands and entered the Bisha Courtyard.

In the main hall, Ayu was already in tears. Seeing Ye Chuan and his wife enter, Ayu knelt down with a thud, and said, "Master Hou, save my child!"

Saying that, after letting go, the little child was lying on the bed, pale and dying, very pitiful.

"This--"

Before Ye Chuan could speak, Li Ci stepped forward in three steps at a time, helped Ayu up, and said, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to invite Dr. Lin, who is best at pediatrics, as soon as I get the news."

He asked Nanny Qian to come forward and said to Ayu, "This Nanny Qian once served as an imperial physician for a period of time when she was working in the palace. It will take some time for Doctor Lin to arrive, why don't you ask Nanny Qian to look at it first?" Shall we take a moment?"

Ayu hesitated, and glanced at Ye Chuan, but Ye Chuan focused on the child on Hu's bed.

Ayu had no choice but to say: "Please trouble Madam Qian."

After getting permission, Mammy Qian immediately stepped forward, picked up the child skillfully, unwrapped the baby, and inspected it carefully.

"Here... here... a little red... a little swollen here..."

Nanny Qian muttered, and Li Ci found out that Nanny Qian was checking on the child, but Ayu looked uneasy, obviously other than the child, she had other worries.

She deliberately wanted to pretend to be a white lotus in front of Ye Chuan!
Li Ci has always been generous, and she couldn't bear to let her busy for nothing, so she observed her words and expressions, and then said to A Yu with a gloomy expression: "A Yu, you are really confused, this child is the only child of the Seventh Uncle's family, and it is precious. Mr. Lang is uncomfortable, you You should tell me immediately, or go directly to the accountant to pay for the doctor."

Ayu was stunned for a moment, then said powerlessly: "This is the first time I have encountered such a thing, servant girl... I panicked for a while...Young Madam doesn't know that we country girls only think of finding a man when we encounter difficult things... ...how can I have any opinion..."

Li Ci smiled happily, she looked at Ye Chuan meaningfully, and found how ugly the latter's face was.

But after all, the child is still sick, not to mention that Ayu's words are not unreasonable, so Ye Chuan could only look sullenly at Nanny Qian, who had finished the examination at this time, and while putting on the swaddling clothes, said, "It's because of the cold." , plus some acclimatization, pay attention to keep warm, and rest for a while. "

"But...the child has been crying since the afternoon...I..."

He actually vaguely suspected Qian Nanny.

After all, Nanny Qian came from the palace, not to mention that she was not in the public eye, even the daughter of a minor official's family, she had to be respectful when meeting her.But she knew from Nanny Zhang that Mrs. Ayu was very thoughtful, so she didn't get angry immediately, but wrapped the child carefully, and said: "Ms. Ayu doesn't believe the old man's words, so don't worry, Doctor Lin will be here soon." He is the No. [-] figure in pediatrics in Beijing, and Mrs. Ayu will definitely believe his judgment."

"That's natural."

Ayu spoke awkwardly, again with a low-browed and pleasing attitude.

Seeing her changing expression, Li Ci knew that the child suddenly became disobedient, and there must be Ayu playing tricks behind her back, but she was the child's mother after all, and her eyes were full of tears. I am afraid that before Li Ci questioned her, she had already acted violently. If you get confused, you may even beat them back.

Li Ci never did anything uncertain, so he and Ye Chuan casually comforted her a few words, then ordered Nanny Zhang to fetch the brochure, and assigned a few maidservants to Bisha Courtyard to take care of her.

After arranging all these things, Dr. Lin, in anticipation of everyone, arrived with a medical kit and students.
