It is not easy to be the fourth master's wife

Chapter 10

Zhou Ting immediately assigned Pearl to the room where Da Gege lived. Da Gege was leaning on the kang, his face was red, his body was limp against the pillow, and he wanted to sit up when he saw Pearl coming.Pearl is here on behalf of Zhou Ting, even if she is a girl, she cannot lie on the bed.

Seeing her like this, Pearl quickly waved her hand, went up to plead guilty, and pressed her hand on Da Gege's forehead. Da Gege coughed twice, and Pearl asked, "Where is the servant girl? When did this start?" burnt?"

After asking the girl, I found out that there are not so many people in Li's place to cook the medicines in the corridor. The people at the younger son's place are not active, so they had to take away the girl from Da Gege's place, and the yard was in a mess. In the morning, I couldn't even find anyone carrying hot water, so they all went to look at the medicine stove. There were only two big girls here who took turns to take care of her, and they had to do everything.

As soon as the imperial doctor walked to the front yard, he was called back before leaving the mansion. The maids in Li's yard hurriedly ran around to avoid it.Da Gege was lying on the warm kang, the tent was tightly covered, only a hand wrapped in a veil was exposed, the imperial doctor checked the pulse, and followed the waiting mother-in-law to the main courtyard to answer Zhou Ting.

"Why is one still not healed, and the other is sick again? It's wind and cold again?" Zhou Ting's mother believes in Chinese medicine the most. She goes to the hospital to queue up for ointment prescriptions in winter, and buys sesame seeds and walnuts to grind into powder every year. Cure the disease, strengthen the body without disease.I have been eating well and dressing well here, and I have asked for a Ping An pulse every three or five days. How can I fall down when the wind blows?

The imperial doctor also found it strange that this year, too many people in the fourth elder brother's house got sick, so he hurriedly dropped a bunch of book bags. Zhou Ting half understood what "true and false damage" and "evil cause and false entry" I don't understand, it probably means that Big Ge is tired, and with the change of seasons, people with weak resistance are prone to catch a cold and have a fever.He also asked the patient to take good care of him and not to overwork him, left a prescription, and left with a red envelope.

When the imperial doctor left, Zhou Ting immediately went to Da Gege's room. Mrs. Li was sitting in front of her daughter's bed and scolding the girl. As soon as Zhou Ting entered, she stood up and saluted. Her face was yellow and her brows were knit together , now she really looks older, she seems to be five or six years older against her usual fresh and tender dress.

Da Gege struggled to get up and salute, but Li Shi held her down to prevent her from getting up: "Forgive Fujin, she can't get up."

Zhou Ting would not have made things difficult for a little girl, insisting on getting up and saluting when she was sick, but seeing Li Shi doing this, she raised her eyebrows in her heart, and said in a calm tone: "If you are short of people, you can get some Forget it, how can you make her suffer."

Mrs. Li's face was a little embarrassed, Da Gege was speechless, and the two big girls did not help Li Shi to speak, only Da Gege's nanny interrupted: "Little elder brother is sick, sideways Fujin worked hard..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Manao: "Master is working hard, could it be that the mother is also working hard, Da Gege is sick, and no one comes back and forth, how did the mother stay up at night?"

There are some things that the master can say, but the servants can’t. Zhou Ting said hard work to the girl and mother-in-law to be considerate of them. Nanny Zheng also knew that she had said something wrong, so she immediately shut up. Zhou Ting glanced at Li Shi, she was very Knowing what this woman is thinking, the son hurts like eyeballs, and the daughter has to be a lot more negligent. In this yard, Da Gege may not be able to rank third. Although the servants dare not do anything wrong, they use the excuse to help steal some from Mrs. Li. There must be some lazy people.

Zhou Ting called the big girl Shancha: "The imperial doctor said it was caused by fatigue, and the girls in the room made Gege tired?" She also said this to Mrs. Li. She used to complain about hardships. He couldn't hang on to the words, and couldn't open his mouth, his face turned from yellow to blue, and the hand holding the handkerchief tightened.

"October is my master's birthday, and Gege is in a hurry to make embroidery pieces as a congratulatory gift." As soon as Shan Cha finished speaking, Da Gege pursed her lips. She has been studying for two years, and her work is not bad, so she really wants to Taking advantage of Ama's birthday to show off, but the more meticulous the embroidery, the more afraid it will be bad. It has been dismantled several times, and it will be too late if you don't hurry up. no more.

"Big Gege, this is Lord Filial Piety..." Before Zhou Ting could speak, Mrs. Li helped her daughter first. Dare to say it again.She didn't know that her daughter was sick, and the girl in this house should also be beaten, so she even went past her to find Fujin.

"I know you are filial, but you can't let your temper fool you. If the nuns don't listen, you should come and tell me." Zhou Ting said gently, the little girl is only eight or nine years old. If you look closely, her mouth and eyebrows are long. She looks like her Ama, especially with a pair of eyebrows lining her small face coldly, she can tell who she is a girl at a glance.

Zhou Ting comforted her a few words, and then explained that she was not allowed to do any more embroidery work. The little girl was anxious: "Er Niang!" It's too late to put on the glass and wooden shelves, so I can't wait any longer.

"Your Ama is only happy when you are healthy, and everything else is empty." Zhou Ting stared at the girls sternly and looked around. When she saw Madam Zheng, her eyebrows moved, and Li Shi was pinched Not daring to say a single word after being caught, she respectfully sent Zhou Ting out of the courtyard, and complained as soon as she came back: "Can't someone tell me?"

Da Gege also had resentment in her heart. Although she didn't go to greet Zhou Ting anymore, she still had to go to Li's house to see her little brother every day. She didn't go for two days, and her mother didn't even ask a word, and turned her head away. not talking.In the end, it was the girls below who suffered, and each of them was fined a month's worth of money.

The maids were already very busy these days, and they didn't expect to deduct more monthly money for rewards. They all drooped their faces and dared not discuss it in front of them. They said behind their backs that Mrs. Li was not as generous as Zhou Ting.

"This Madam Zheng really doesn't know the rules." Ma Nao felt that as long as they were in Li's courtyard, everyone would be displeased, even if she was too big and decent, she shouldn't say those words in front of Zhou Ting.

Pearl held Zhou Ting's hand, and walked all the way from the garden back to the main courtyard and said to Zhou Ting: "Biyu has inquired about it. It turns out that the little girl went to report it to Mrs. Li. It happened that the little elder brother vomited the medicine. She was so busy that no one paid any attention to her. Then she went to our courtyard."

"She is loyal, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot this time." Zhou Ting was thinking about another matter. Da Gege's Ama, her nominal husband, is going to have a birthday. If Shan Cha didn't mention it, she wouldn't even remember it. , Mrs. Li probably doesn't remember either. Two sons are enough for her to be busy, and now she adds her daughter who has always been worry-free.

Although she throws her hands away and doesn't care about anything now, if this happens to her, she will definitely not let others find fault. Zhou Ting tried her best to recall the old rules of the year before last year. In the past few years, I have invited a few brothers to drink, eat and listen to operas. The female relatives like to listen to operas through the water platform.

But how to arrange this year?One of the family had just died, and the other two were sick, Zhou Ting sighed, and decided to ask the cold-faced four for advice first, lest she arrange it and it didn't suit his wishes.

Yinzhen didn't come to Zhou Ting first, he went to Li's yard first, the bitter water Li Shi prepared yesterday was not poured out, and today he added new ones, his whole body seemed to be soaked in bitter juice, he opened his mouth Just crying, originally there was still a bit of coquettish meaning, this time I didn't bother to cover up and poured it all out, "Da Gege is too easy, knowing that my brother is sick, I just bear it and don't say it." If you don’t answer me for anything, you actually passed me and went back to Fujin, this slave, I’ve been in a hurry for two days and then I’m going to make a fool of myself.” I wanted to talk about other things, but the extension is that Zhou Ting asked people to watch her yard. , Another example is why Zhou Ting gave her a wink, and she had already thought out her words, "Fu Jin should blame his concubine, and this is distressing for Da Gege."

Before he could use it, Yinzhen's face darkened: "Since you can't take care of it, just move Big Gege to the main courtyard, and move it back when both of them are well-raised."
