Chapter 265 Heartbreak (2)
Li Qing hurriedly waved his hand to repel the maid in the room, pulled Ping Wang to sit on the couch next to him, and sat down next to him.
"Master, the old concubine is still sick. Just calm down and Hongmin has also been punished. Let it go over. Hongmin is still young, but he was just instigated and did something wrong. Don't think too much about it."
"How many things have you hidden for her? Such a vicious heart can be born in one day? She has no evil thoughts, who can instigate her?"
Ping Wang stared straight at Li Qing and asked in a series of continuous whispers. Li Qing lowered his eyes and reached out to slowly stroke Ping Wang's collar, and his voice softly comforted:
"I'm careless, I'm careless."
King Ping sat in a daze for a while, sighed sadly, held Li Qing's hand, and pressed it on his face, tears flowed down Li Qing's fingers.
Li Qing applied the needle, and the old concubine Wen's breathing gradually relaxed and the heat on her body stopped rising. King Ping sat sideways on the edge of the bed, staring at her mother nervously and worriedly. Seeing the expression on her face slowly calmed down, she felt a little relieved.
Li Qing asked for hot water, pushed King Ping out, and with the girl and the woman, dipped it in a cotton veil, carefully wiped the old lady Wen's face and body, changed her clothes and bedding, and then called King Ping again, smiling and whispering to him:
"Don't be too anxious, as the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, you always get better little by little. Mother will not have any major problems. People who are older will always get better for a longer time. Don't worry, I'm here to wait for my mother. If you go back and sleep for a while, you won't be able to help you here, right?"
Ping Wang felt a little relaxed, held Li Qing's shoulder, and looked at her face carefully.
"If it's okay, you go back and take a break first. I'll watch here. You are weak. That night, you... have almost never slept. It's all my fault."
Ping Wang whispered slightly apologetically, Li Qing looked up at him with a smile.
"But one night, I could still hold on. After I asked Zhuye to get the bedding, I would just take a break in the warm room outside. My mother still had to take care of her. When my mother got better, I would move back to Chunxiyuan."
King Ping looked at Li Qing with pity, nodded slowly, and explained gently,
"Okay, if nothing happens, just rest more and let the girls and women do what they want to serve. Filial piety is not about this, do you hear it?"
Li Qing nodded with a smile, and King Ping went in again to look at his sleepy mother before going out to practice martial arts.
Madam Zheng brought the maids and the mother-in-law to carry the bedding in. Green Artemisia took the little girl to the warm room to clean up the bed. Madam Zheng followed Li Qing to the west wing. Li Qing stared at Madam Zheng for a while, then sighed for a while, and said in a low voice:
"Let's stop with Hongmin's affairs. I sent her to Kongci'an at the foot of Yutan Mountain and let her live until she gets married and returns after the next year. She is just a child and doesn't have to worry too much. Let her go in the future. If you arrange it carefully, you can't let Hongmin's affairs be leaked out! Those who know about them will also tell them to forget these things."
Madam Zheng bent her knees and agreed. Li Qing lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment before she gave a low voice:
"In the future, you must tell me about such a thing in advance, and there is no next time!"
"Yes! Don't worry, madam."
Madam Zheng bent her knees solemnly agreed, Li Qing sighed leisurely, Madam Zheng straightened up, looked at her with a gentle look, and said with a smile and sigh:
"Mrs. My wife's heart has not become hard yet. Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. My ancestors are sick. I'll ask me to report to the uncle and the third master's mansion. My wife will rest in this yard these days. This is also the duty of being a wife."
Li Qing spread his hands and pouted helplessly.
"I got it. Didn't I ask someone to take the bedding?! The nanny looks more like a mother-in-law than her mother-in-law."
Madam Zheng smiled and looked at her with her eyes bent and walked up to help her into the warm room, and said with a smile:
"The wife who has served my mother-in-law and the men at home must respect you. This is your blessing. Go and take a rest. I personally take someone to watch this yard, and there are people in the outer yard to guard it. Just sleep for a while. Someone comes. If someone comes, I will call you. It will not be delayed. Go and take a rest quickly. Look at you, and red silk is in your eyes."
Li Qing yawned, nodded, took off his clothes while waiting for Green Artemisia, and fell asleep on the couch.
At the right time, Lin Yuntao and Lin Subo received the letter and hurried over. Li Qing greeted the yard and took it into the main room. The girl and the woman served everyone to the big clothes outside. Li Qing let everyone sit and introduced carefully:
"Last night, my ancestor was in good spirits and insisted on going to see if Hongqi slept well. As soon as he went out, it was blown cold. After being cold, he felt a little fever in the middle of the night. My mother was old and the root of the disease she fell in youth was induced, and the wind and cold was a bit severe."
The little girl brought the tea up, Li Qing gave it one by one, and then smiled and continued:
"At the beginning of the Chou, I used a silver needle to pull out some cold air for my mother. The heat on my mother gradually subsided. When it was Yinzheng, all the heat subsided. At the second moment of Maozheng, my mother woke up and was in good spirits. After taking the soup, she fell asleep again."
Lin Sutao relaxed, leaned back to the back of the chair, picked up the cup, drank it all in one gulp, let out a long sigh, and said loudly:
"With your younger brother and sister, your mother will naturally be fine!"
Mrs. Wang quickly turned around and waved her hand at him.
"You are gentle too! My mother just fell asleep. Why are you doing such a loud voice? This is not in the army, you are gentle!"
Lin Sutao laughed, Lin Subo got up with a smile, bowed down at Li Qing,
"Thank you for your hard work in my sister-in-law, thanks to my sister-in-law taking care of me."
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Su also stood up quickly, bent their knees and bowed their blessings. Li Qing hurriedly got up, turned his body slightly, bent his knees and bowed their blessings.
"The third brother is too polite, this is all his duty as a wife."
Several people sat down again, Lin Sutao and Lin Subo drank another cup of tea, stood at the door of the inner room with slight hands, looked at the sleeping old concubine Wen from afar, and said goodbye. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Su stayed, whispered to Li Qing, waiting for Old concubine Wen to wake up.
The three of them sat cross-legged on the kang in the warm trunk. Green Artemisia brought in some snacks and tea. Mrs. Su took a piece of chestnut glutinous rice into her mouth, squinted her eyes and savored it carefully. After drinking a sip of tea, she said with a smile:
"This taste is better than in Banxiantang. Is there any secret?"
"They are all the same recipes, but Banxiantang makes a lot of it at a time. I only make a few pieces at a time. The big pot dish and the small pot dish are different."
Mrs. Su patted her hands gently and said seriously:
"So that's the case. Next time, I will go to Banxiantang and give me a big pot of silver and ask them to make a small pot for me. Is it the same smell as this?"
Li Qing laughed and Mrs. Wang laughed so hard that the cup in her hand also shaking. She hurriedly put down the cup. Li Qing smiled and waved to Lu Wei to come and instructed:
"You go and tell Si Jing that in the future, we will make three portions of snacks in the kitchen, one will be delivered to the old man's mansion and the other will be delivered to the third man's mansion."
Mrs. Su smiled and pulled Mrs. Wang's sleeve.
"You are benefiting from me!"
Mrs. Wang smiled and shook her head, turned to look at Li Qing and said:
"Mrs. My lady is named Zhuyu. She really knows business. The shop is clean and there is no trace of dust. The guys pack it tightly, so they reveal their eyes. They take the snacks and say they never touch their hands. I went to see them once. To be honest, it really makes people feel ashamed. My house has never been so clean."
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, thought for a while before laughing.
"My sister-in-law taught her a lesson. If this shop makes the customer feel ashamed, it is not a good thing. Who would have been willing to go to places that always make you uncomfortable?"
Li Qing said, turning his head to instruct the little girl,
"Tell Mama Zheng that she will send someone to ask Zhuyu to come in to see me if she has time."
The little girl agreed to go out. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Su looked at each other in a daze. Mrs. Wang turned her head, carefully looked at Li Qing up and down, and sighed:
"No wonder the people under the wife are all good at doing business. With the care and consideration of the wife, what can she do?!"
Li Qing was drinking tea with a smile, but without saying a word. The three of them ate a few more snacks. Mrs. Wang leaned on the big pillow a little lazy, glanced at the girl standing with her hands hanging down, and said with a smile:
"We can talk casually, and there is no need for these many girls to serve."
Li Qing laughed, waved his hand, Green Artemisia smiled and bent her knees and sued her back, and took the girls and women out.
Mrs. Wang leaned on the kang, and when she saw everyone retreating, she straightened up, moved to Li Qing's side, and asked in a low voice:
"Miss Hongmin, what's going on? Well, why did you suddenly send her to Jingfu Temple? The next day, he hurriedly sent her to Kongci Temple. What happened?"
Li Qing was stunned. First, he didn't know what to say. Mrs. Su also straightened her upper body, curled her lips, and whispered with contempt:
"You have to ask, you must have done something bad and angered me. This young lady and her mother are just poured out of the same mold!"
Mrs. Wang turned around and looked at Mrs. Su with a angrily look.
"No matter what, she is just a child. You are an aunt, so why is it better to speak like this?"
Mrs. Su curled her lips and didn't say anything. Li Qing lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, then smiled and explained vaguely:
