Passerby's daily life

Chapter 22 Illness
From Ning Cui's mouth, Su Su knew that it was already the night of the second day.

It turned out that at dawn in the morning, the little maid who gave the soda water had seen the time, but Susu hadn't opened the door to ask for water, which had never happened before.Hastily asked someone to call Yang Liu, and Yang Liu hurriedly found her mother-in-law and knocked open the door. At that time, Susu on the bed was already burnt, and started talking nonsense, and her whole body was hot to the touch.

Yang Liu hurriedly reported to the old lady, and hurriedly asked someone to invite the old doctor who is resident in the mansion.

The old doctor was pulled and dragged by several wives, almost shouting "indecent", thinking that the old lady was sick, and only found out that Su Su was sick on the way, no wonder these wives were so anxious.

This girl Susu is the most proud person around the old lady. In terms of her heart, even her granddaughters are far behind, and she looks like a fairy, but just by looking at her complexion, one can tell that there are shortcomings brought from the mother's womb disease.

When the old doctor arrived at the Suian hall, he saw Susu's appearance and secretly thought that it was not good. He didn't know how long it had been burned, and if it continued to burn, he would probably be stupid.

The old doctor didn't dare to delay, so he quickly cut the pulse and said: "Miss Su Su has a deficiency syndrome, and this fever is caused by excessive worry and thought, which has caused the root cause of the disease in the body. I must quickly subside the fever and then take medicine to treat it. Please The old lady hurriedly sent someone to find strong wine, and wiped Miss Susu's body, especially her neck and armpits, until the fever subsided, and then the old man prescribed a prescription."

The old lady hurriedly ordered, and soon the mother-in-law brought spirits, and Yang Liubisi wiped Susu's body non-stop.

The movement in Suiantang also alarmed everyone in the third room, and they were relieved knowing that the old lady was not ill.Knowing Susu's position in the old lady's heart, the third lady also opened the door of convenience. The precious medicinal materials in the pharmacy were taken by the old doctor. Mother Qin advised the old lady to go back to the main room, lest she would get sick, but the old lady kept waiting. Susu's fever subsided and Ning Cui and the others persuaded her to go back.

After Ning Cui finished speaking, seeing Su Su's red eyes, she said: "But don't drop the gold beads, if you really understand the old lady and our feelings for you, relax your heart, don't hold everything in your heart, and take good care of your illness." Yes. I'll go over and talk to the old lady first, so that she won't get worried and the food won't taste good."

Bisi also said: "I'll go to the small kitchen to see, Madam Xing left some food for you." At this time, Susu's stomach groaned in unison, making the other three laugh.

Only Yang Liu and Susu were left in the room. Susu took Yang Liu's hand and said, "Good sister, it's my fault. Don't be angry!" Exactly, this time there is another worry, I think you are trying to scare us to death!"

"Bah bah bah, my sister will talk nonsense about whether you are dead or not!" Susu's appearance made Yang Liu dumbfounded, "You don't need to change the topic, and no one forces you to say it if you don't want to. Anyway, the old lady and We all know that it must have something to do with Zhao's mother."

Su Su's face froze, countless thoughts turned in her heart, and then she smiled wryly: "Mother Zhao has some relationship with my mother, otherwise she would not have made great efforts to send me to the Song family, and recognized such a good master as the old lady. Mother Zhao came back this time to say that she is old and will not come to the south in person in the future, and to tell me that I still have a cousin alive. Although his biological mother is only my distant aunt, because both parents died, I grew up at my grandmother's knees."

Su Su paused, and then said: "My aunt is really good-looking. She was favored by the nobles and forced her back to be an aunt. My grandmother also became depressed and became ill because she couldn't protect her aunt. She died within a few years I went. This aunt was also a confidante, she passed away early, and she lost contact with our family. I was young at that time, so I don’t remember much. Only my father mentioned a sentence when he was dying, the family where my aunt lived Things were turned upside down when the sage was enthroned, and the whole family was beheaded and exiled. I didn’t know if my cousin was still alive. I always thought that I was naked and had no relatives. A cousin, I don't know how I feel." Hearing Susu say these words without expression, Yang Liu felt the great sadness on Susu's body.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, Ning Cui helped the old lady in, and behind her was Bisi who was carrying a tray, both Ning Cui and Bisi had reddish eye sockets.

Susu was about to get out of bed, but the old lady hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's just better, don't move." Then she sat on the edge of the bed and touched Susu's forehead, "It's not burning anymore. Silly boy, I heard what I just said , I always thought you were like a little grown-up, but when it comes to things, you are too young to handle it. You take such an idea to heart, and you suddenly get sick. If you are really worried about your cousin, How about I ask your third master to send someone to go to the northwest? If there is no rush, our family's caravan will also pass through the northwest, so it will be no trouble!"

After hearing this, Su Su hurriedly said: "Madam, Su Su knows that you love me, but the family cannot interfere in this matter. No matter how ignorant the slaves are, they also know how many people in the capital confiscated their homes and beheaded them into exile. This Cousin and servant have never met before, how can we let our family take even the slightest risk for him! The servant is worried in his heart, but he knows that there is such a relative in this world. If the old lady loves me, I will only wait for the servant to take off in the future Ji, ask the maidservant to go and see for herself, and put an end to this worry!"

The old lady looked at this little girl who knew everything in her heart with a complicated expression. No wonder people often said, "Love will never last, and wisdom will hurt." She patted her hand lightly, didn't say anything, but was very relieved in her heart. After all, she didn't hurt her in vain, and this girl never let herself down.

The old lady felt that the atmosphere was a bit dignified, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, when the time comes, old lady, I will not only release you from citizenship, but also buy you a dowry, so I will be a good husband-in-law!"

Susu's face was not red, but her heart was not beating. She looked at the other three people who were snickering, and said, "Don't be in a hurry, slaves, these three are the ones who are in a hurry!"

After a burst of laughter, Susu's stomach protested again. Ning Cui and Yang Liu helped the old lady go back to rest. It was almost ten o'clock. If it wasn't for the old lady, she was really worried about Susu and insisted on coming to see it in person. Go to bed early.

After the old lady left, Susu ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge with a few pieces of snacks to appease her protesting stomach, and then persuaded Bisi to go back to rest. When there was no one else in the room, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled wryly.

Ever since she took over the identity of Su Ho, she expected that she would have to use countless lies to cover up a lie. Now it is a risk to put her brother on the bright side, but it is not without benefits. At least the reason why she is sick has been explained. , There is also a reason to leave my nationality and go to the northwest to find my brother.

Now Susu is fortunate that she is just a little maid, and when it comes to sensitive words such as "the enthronement of the emperor" and "exile from the house", no matter how much the old lady loves her, she will not risk the future of the Song family. Brother, the voice is still from a concubine, even if he is really a son of a wealthy family, he is just a military family now, and there is no need to waste time investigating.

Susu had been lying on the bed for half a month with this disease, and had also taken the bitter medicine soup for half a month. It was as if she had some incurable disease, and Susu had a headache when she saw the old doctor who came to check her pulse. .

The old lady also knew that Susu's body was too weak, so she rewarded bird's nest, spirit plants, flower gum, ginseng and others for free, and asked the small kitchen to cook for Susu in different ways. Susu got fat for half a month after eating in a circle.It wasn't until the old doctor spoke that it was almost done, and after that it would be adjusted slowly, and the soup and medicine stopped. Susu, who was only happy, laughed when she saw people, making everyone dumbfounded.

Su Su looks good, even though he saw many artificial beauties in his previous life, he still had to narcissistically admire his alluring appearance.However, Susu seldom has such a bright smile in front of people on weekdays. She always smiles lightly and speaks softly like a fairy. Now that she is so happy, does she turn into a fairy in seconds?

Fortunately, her family knew about her family affairs, so Su Su was happy for a while, and then turned back into a calm little fairy, with specially thick bangs, which covered three parts of her color.But the old lady sighed in her heart: the so-called beauty has flowers as its appearance, birds as its voice, the moon as its god, jade as its bone, ice and snow as its skin, autumn water as its posture, and poetry as its heart.This child, I'm afraid I can't hide it.

After Su Su recovered from her illness, it was almost the [-]th day of the seventh lunar month. The Song family was busy worshiping their ancestors and serving porridge at the gates of the cities again.

Su Su and the others even accompanied the old lady to copy a hundred scriptures and send them to the temple where incense is flourishing.

During this period, Su Su also brought two little maids by her side, one was Wu Tong, and the other was Ning Cui's younger sister Ning Xiang.Although Ning Cui's parents are still in charge of the old lady's estate, but the old lady has made the decision and has already disqualified the couple and Ning Cui's younger brother, otherwise Ning Xiang would not be able to follow Susu.

Ning Xiang is seven years old this year and has just started working as an errand, but the rules are very good, so it can be seen that Aunt Ning has also worked hard to teach her at home.Different from Ning Cui's exquisite appearance, Ning Xiang is a bit shy, she is more like Bisi's younger sister in temperament, gentle and very careful, because she followed Susu together with Wutong, and within a few days she became a chatterbox. The good friends we talked about, because the lack of the third class has been filled, they are still rough maids, and they are somewhat out of tune with other people.

Yang Liu was in charge of these little maids, she understood the situation best, and said: "Except for Susu, which one of us has not worked as a rough envoy for a year or two? There are eight people in the rough room sleeping in the Datong bunk, and most of them are talkative and well-informed, so I just warn the two children in advance, don't let someone teach them badly and change their temperament!"

Although the two followed Susu, Susu didn't stick to them on weekdays, but one hour a day of literacy and arithmetic is indispensable, and the two knew that the opportunity was rare and they worked harder than the other.

Because of Ning Cui's relationship, Ning Xiang is more familiar with Susu after all, "My mother said that the characters of the sisters in the yard were all taught by Sister Susu, and Sister Susu's knowledge is even more than that of the teachers in the town school. Why not!"

These words made the little girl Wutong admire Susu even more.There is also a village school in their village, and an old scholar was hired as a teacher, but reading and literacy has never had anything to do with girls.Wutong didn't expect her stepmother to sell her, and she could read and write. At this moment, Wutong thanked her stepmother a little bit.

Susu heard this childish joke and said with a smile: "But I dare not compare with Mr., but teaching you is enough. You follow me, reading and literacy are secondary, the most important thing is sincerity, the old lady is the most important thing. It is a kind heart, and I will serve the old lady well in the future, and the benefits are still to come."
