how beautiful

Chapter 1

The north wind howled, the sky and the earth were covered with snow, and the heavy snow that had been falling for several days finally showed signs of stopping, but perhaps because of the sudden north wind, it seemed to be colder.

In the silent room, the woman coughed non-stop, the girl who looked like a servant girl saw it, and quickly ordered the earth dragon to burn a little hotter.

The woman didn't raise her eyes, she was still doing calculations at the desk.

This woman is the fifth lady of the third room of General Chu's mansion, her boudoir name is He Ling, she is twenty-five years old.But at this time, He Ling's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and his whole body was even more emaciated, as if he could fall to the ground if the wind blows.Looking at her face again, perhaps it was because of her poor health that she was extremely haggard.If it is said that there are more than thirty, some people will believe it.

The sound of footsteps came from the courtyard, and the servant girl Qiaoyue rushed out to greet her. The snow fell and swept, but it was not smooth, and it creaked when stepped on.It is easy to know that someone is coming.

She greeted the door and quickly blessed, "Ma'am."

The person who came was the third wife, Lan Shi, who was also He Ling's mother. Lan Shi was over forty years old, because of her well-maintained face, her face was exquisite, without even a trace of wrinkles, and her slightly plump figure was even more charming.Following Lan's was Lan's daughter-in-law, and Ling's younger brother Zhining's wife, Zhao. Zhao was a smart person, even if he didn't speak, he was smiling.

Seeing that He Ling was writing something again, Lan's eyes flashed a trace of annoyance, but soon she smiled again, and she reprimanded: "I told you to take good care of yourself, but you didn't listen."

Only then did He Ling put down the pen, and said with a smile, "I haven't been in good health these few days, so I'll think about what happened in the past few days, so I don't miss anything. Cough cough!"

Before she could finish speaking, she coughed. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and then quietly pinched the red handkerchief in her palm.

Lan didn't notice her small movements, and said with concern, "Why are you so disobedient, child. Your father and your younger brother will take care of the court affairs, so why bother you. You don't know how to feel sorry for yourself " After saying that, he waved his hand, and the maidservant behind him hurriedly brought up the small cup she was holding.

Mrs. Zhao quickly said, "Sister, mother said that the weather has been bad recently, and you are afraid that your body will feel uncomfortable again. Last night, you ordered the small kitchen to stew black-bone chicken with thousand-year-old ginseng. The doctor said that it is the most nourishing, you Drinking some soup is also good for your bones."

He Ling nodded, and took Xiao Zhong'er's playful smile, "Thank you mother, it's mother who loves me the most."

Lan's paused, a little unnatural, but she still said, "You are too weak, and you don't take care of yourself. If Mother doesn't love you, who else will love you!"

He Ling stuck out her tongue, she opened the small cup, stewed black-bone chicken with thousand-year-old ginseng, the moment she opened it, the aroma overflowed.Over the past ten years or so, she has been in poor health, and she is also used to the tonic soup, so she drank it all in one gulp without any delay.

When Wang Heling took a sip, Lan's complexion changed a bit, she hesitated for a bit at the corner of her mouth, and finally bit her lip,
"Eat, eat a few bites of meat. Mother cooks very well." As soon as the words finished, Lan couldn't help but shed a tear.

Knowing that her illness had made Lan's heart anxious for many years, He Ling thought she was reminded of her past, so she took a bite obediently, "Oh!"
