concubines are respected

Chapter 86
Lin Yinglu lived in the back house of her family for more than ten days in a blink of an eye.Over the past few days, under the doctor's careful treatment, the hysteria has finally eased, although the spirit color between his brows is no longer there, but fortunately he is still awake.The old matriarch sent people to talk to other courtyards several times, but Lin Yinglu kept her mouth shut. When she came down several times, the old matriarch seemed to have lost her patience, and kept her locked up in the other courtyard, rarely asking her.

As for the third aunt, she wanted to see Lin Yinglu several times to no avail, and she was even more worried about her.After several hesitation, he finally decided to let Shujian Lin go to his home to inquire about the news.Although Shujian is only ten years old, he is quite popular with the old lady, and he can walk freely in the house of his family.It would be much easier for ordinary people to sneak into other courtyards while others were not prepared.

At the end of the day, the third aunt was fidgeting in the room, looking at the courtyard door from time to time through the window lattice. Shujian followed her instructions and went to the home for nearly two hours, but he hadn't returned yet, and he didn't know if something happened.

When Third Aunt was anxious, Shujian's immature voice sounded in the courtyard, "Aunt... Aunt, I'm back."

"Oh, my little ancestor, you are finally back. My aunt is dying of anxiety. Why have you been there for so long, but someone found out, and the old matriarch was reprimanded?" The third aunt greeted her with three steps in parallel. After coming out, Shujian rushed back to the room in a hurry, and the mother and son bumped into each other.

"Quickly tell me, what's going on?" San Yiniang pulled Shujian away from her arms a short distance away, squatted down, straightened the folds on his collar, and asked in a low voice.

Shujian rubbed the tip of his sore nose, and said with an innocent smile, "Don't worry, Auntie, Third Sister is fine. I just sneaked in to see Third Sister while the servants guarding the other courtyard were unaware. Although Third Sister She’s thinner than before, but she’s better, and she smiled and said to me that she wanted to eat the lotus paste cake from Ziweitang. Let me bring some for her to try next time I visit her.”

"Really, your third sister is not as they said... bewitched?" After all, Third Aunt refused to say that her daughter was crazy, hesitated a little, and only said that Lin Yinglu had been bewitched.

"No?" Shujian stared at the big round black eyes, tilted his head and said, "How could the third sister be in a daze when she is so well-behaved, I look pretty good..." He said, Shujian's voice was a little lower, and he continued to murmur in a broken voice, "You don't scold me like before...I like the way Third Sister is now..."

The voice behind the sentence was extremely low, and Third Aunt could not hear clearly, so she asked, "What is Jian'er muttering about?"

"Oh, no, I mean, I'll go to Ziwei Tang to buy lotus paste cake for my third sister later." Shujian responded quickly and said with a smile.

"Well, Jian'er is determined, and I will let Qiu Ju accompany you to buy it later." San Yiniang breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood improved a lot. From this point of view, Lin Yinglu will be fine, and I believe that it will not be long before she can completely recovered.

"No, Jian'er is accompanied by Jin Douer, so Qiu Ju doesn't need to go." Shu Jian turned around and glanced at the young man in green shirt, Jin Douzi, who was waiting at the door of the room, and raised his head and said to Third Aunt.

He didn't like Qiu Ju following behind him, because Qiu Ju relied on being San Yiniang's close maid, she always meddled with him, if he didn't listen, Qiu Ju would go back to San Yiniang's side to talk back, making it difficult for him He is often reprimanded by the third aunt.Today, he finally had the opportunity to go out of the house in the name of buying lotus paste cake for Lin Yinglu, and he didn't want Qiu Ju to continue to be by his side with his wronged soul.

"How can this be done? Jin Douzi is young, so he doesn't know how to take care of others. Second Young Master, it's better to let the slaves accompany you." Qiu Ju put down the needlework in her hand and took the conversation.

Shu Jian puffed up his cheeks angrily, turned his head to the side without saying a word, and did not even look at Qiu Ju in protest.

At this time, Chuntao at the side said softly, "It's better to let the servant accompany the second young master. Sister Qiu Ju still has embroidery work to do, the servant will definitely take care of the second young master."

Chuntao is a new maid in the third aunt's room. Ever since Xia He was disposed of by the old matriarch, the old lady picked a clever maid from the front yard to serve in the third aunt's room. However, Chuntao seldom speaks, but she does things quickly, and San Yiniang is quite satisfied with her.

"Chuntao can go. It's settled like this. If you pick and choose again, you don't have to go. I'll just send a servant to buy it." San Yiniang said firmly.

There is no need for Shujian to go out of the house in person for these trivial matters, but knowing that the son is like a mother, Shujian's fun-loving mind, how could Third Aunt not understand.Suo Xing Taste Hall is not too far from Lin's Mansion, just two streets away, as long as there are servants around to watch, it's okay to let him go out for a breath of air.

"Okay, let Chuntao go, let Chuntao go!" Shujian finally compromised, it's better for Chuntao to follow than Qiuju, at least Chuntao just came to serve in the room, not like Qiuju's mouth, as for suing or something, it must be She doesn't dare yet.Shujian thought for a while, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

All kinds of sweets and pastries in the taste hall are displayed in a dazzling array, which dazzles the viewers.The shopkeeper was dressed in a brown robe, standing behind the cabinet table, his five fingers were flying and he was playing the abacus very neatly, and the beads collided with each other, and his voice was clear and melodious.Seeing Shujian enter the hall, he nodded with a smiling face on his head, and continued to bury his head and continue to work.

Seeing Shu Jian, Xiao Eryi immediately stepped forward and bowed, and asked with a flattering smile, "Second Master Lin, what cakes do you want to try today, I will prepare them for you."

"Well, I want to eat..." After all, I was young, and when I saw the delicious food in the hall, I forgot the main purpose of coming here for a while, Shujian smacked his lips, and said to the waiter, " Prepare me strange-flavored soybeans, chestnut cake, two-color bean cake, candied water chestnut, candied betel..."

As Shujian said, the waiter nodded repeatedly and wrote it down.

At this time, Chuntao who was following behind couldn't help reminding, "Second Young Master, and Third Miss's lotus paste cake."

"Oh, yes, there is also a lotus paste cake." Shujian scratched his head in embarrassment, and said to the waiter in the shop.

"I want a large portion. My third lady is in good health and finally has an appetite. She specially ordered to eat the lotus paste cake from your Ziweitang." Chuntao added with a smile.

As soon as Chuntao said this, the shopkeeper's five fingers, which were quickly dialing the abacus, immediately slowed down by half a beat, and looked up at Chuntao who was talking.

"That's right, I'm going to go now, little one." The waiter in the shop responded and walked towards the counter.Shujian was greedy, and led Jindouzi to continue wandering around the store, leaving only Chuntao waiting in the store.

"Why is the third lady of your mansion getting better? This is great joy!" The shopkeeper put down the ledger in his hand, and walked out from behind the counter with a smile on his face.

That day when the Wu Mansion fell, Lin Yinglu suffered from hysteria due to the stimulation. It was no secret in the capital that the shopkeeper was doing business on the street, so he knew it very well.

"That's right, our third lady has been taking medical medicine these days, and her body has become much stronger. Although she talks nonsense from time to time, she is basically awake." Chuntao replied with a teasing smile on her lips.

"Nonsense? What nonsense?" The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and asked casually.

"I don't know, I just listen to the servants in the backyard of my family. The third lady seems to often say that the medicine given by Wang Momo..." As she spoke, Chuntao seemed to realize that these words should not be said, and immediately raised her eyebrows. Covering her lips with her hands, she said with flushed cheeks, "Look at what I've said, Miss San is fine, how can you talk nonsense, what I said casually made the shopkeeper laugh."

The shopkeeper smiled, didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked back to the cabinet table, picked up the account book and continued to call the abacus, but the sound of the beads hitting each other was not as fast and clear as before, it was always stagnant Slowed down a lot.

The waiter in the shop quickly prepared the required sweets and pastries, and wrapped two big bags in oiled paper.Chuntao hurriedly stepped forward to take the wrapped pastry, took out a few pieces of silver from her bosom, and handed it to the waiter in the shop, "Brother, may I ask which bag contains the lotus paste cake?"

"Here, this bag, tied with a yellow rope is the lotus paste cake you want." The waiter pointed to the oil paper bag tied with a yellow hemp rope in Chuntao's hand.

"Hey, I'm sorry, little brother." Chuntao smiled, turned around and said to Shu Jian, "Second young master, we should go back home. After a while, don't you want to go to the back house of our family to give the third lady lotus paste cake?"

"It's easy to say, I'm afraid this lotus paste cake will be delivered tomorrow. It's almost the time of You, and I have inquired about it. After the time of You, there will be more people in the back house. At that time, I won't be able to sneak in..." Book While talking, Jian strode towards the door, "Candied haws! Come on, Jindouzi, stop the old man who sells candied haws..."

Before he finished speaking, Shujian had already rushed towards the direction of selling candied haws. Chuntao didn't dare to stay, and followed closely...

The three masters and servants left, and the sound of abacus in the taste hall stopped suddenly. The shopkeeper walked out from behind the cabinet table, looked in the direction where Shujian and others left, and changed his amiable expression on his face just now. Jing Guang flashed quickly from his eyes, turned around and told the waiter in the shop, "Look at the shop carefully, I'll go out for a while."

Soon, the shopkeeper hurriedly disappeared on the street...
Yi Yue Xuan

Suxian rested quietly in the room, and Yanzi walked in lightly, "Second Miss, you can rest assured that the matter is settled."

Suxian opened her eyes, a pair of dark eyes were as calm as a deep pool, "How many people did you make?"

Yanzi blinked, and gestured with five fingers.

"Five people, will there be a little less? This matter can't be ignored, it's better to send more people." Suxian said in a deep voice.

"Second miss, don't worry, this is just the number of people we sent. I went to the Hou Ye's mansion just now, and the Hou Ye went to the palace to meet the third prince. I heard Jin Se said that the Hou Ye also arranged for people. Don't worry, there will be no mistakes. "Swallow said in a low voice.

"That's good." Mentioning An Nanhou, Suxian blushed for no reason, then coughed lightly, tried to calm herself down, and continued to order calmly, "Order, if you can't do anything, don't do anything. Even if you only need secret assistance to make a move, don’t allow people to notice it.”

"Your servant understands, Jinse said, Master Hou also meant the same thing. Second Miss, you and Master Hou really want to go together..." Yanzi laughed softly, and as soon as her eyes touched Suxian's face, she immediately raised her voice and exclaimed Said, "Oh, Second Miss, why is your face so red? Could it be that the weather is too hot and you have caught heat? This servant will serve you a bowl of herbal tea to relieve the heat..."
