Foster son and husband

Chapter 68 Forgetting
Meiniang brought Cuixi and Cuisi back to the waiting mansion at the end of the day, and still entered the alley through the side door, and entered the west courtyard. Granny Lin greeted her, but she didn't recognize Meiniang who was wearing a mask and dressed as a girl, and said softly: " At this time, there are few people in the garden, and the sisters just go back to Tsinghua University soon!"

Cuixi took out a purse from her armband and handed it to Granny Lin: "Mom will take these pieces of silver to drink. Grandma is a nostalgic person. When she wakes up from an illness, she forgets everything else, but she remembers you the most. A mother who keeps watch. The grandma is in charge of the house now, as long as the mothers are doing well, the grandma can see it!"

Mrs. Lin chanted a Buddha, took the money, and narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Ah! Our old slaves were able to keep Grandma back alive. That's because I practiced Yin Gong in my previous life! My sister didn't see it. Grandma just came out. Yes, Shen’s body is shining with golden light, tsk tsk tsk! That’s beautiful! The fortune teller said: Grandma is the reincarnation of a lucky star, if we see her, the fortune will come!”

Mei Niang rolled her eyes: That's how the so-called myths and legends came about!

Cuixi, on the other hand, was energetic and teased Granny Lin: "Isn't it because of your luck? Your eldest nephew is now driving the car for our Tsinghua University. He only uses him once every three or two days, and he has a full share every month." Monthly money, but it’s not much better than making cows and horses outside? Your second girl was originally a disheveled kitchen fire girl, but for no reason, she came to the side of Mama Cai, who was in charge, and followed Mama Cai to assist in managing the food warehouse. The monthly money has doubled Don't tell me twice, I will be the candidate to be the lady in charge in the future, if my mother is a few years younger, she can be the mother in charge!"

Mrs. Lin was unconvinced: "I'm not old now, why can't I be in charge of things? Sister, I beg Grandma for me, these women who go to watch the night are the most stubborn, so Mrs. Liu can't control it. If I let me take care of it, Hmph, teach them if they dare to steal money and drink!"

Cuixi wanted to say something, but Cuisi became impatient: "Let's go, let's go, grandma is busy with things, there are a few people in charge of the night watch in the garden, Mrs. Liu are in charge of the second door, and the second door is in charge. The answer is only to the third grandma, but the eldest grandma ignores these little things!"

Granny Lin caught up and wanted to say something, but she was stared at by Cui Si, so she had to stop her feet. Cui Xi comforted her:
"Let me tell you, whether it will be successful or not, I don't know!"

Mrs. Lin said happily: "Hey! Thank you, Miss Cuixi! Miss Cuixi, if you have something to do, call your mother-in-law, there is nothing you can't help!"

"I remember, just be your job well!"

The three of them walked out of the courtyard on the west side quickly. As expected, there were very few people walking around in the garden. The master and servant walked along the quiet and deserted path, crossed the curved bridge and walked through the promenade, made three turns and two turns on the small stone path of the rockery, and returned after a while. Arrived at Tsinghua University.

Mother Wang hurriedly asked the little girl to carry hot water: "Grandma is up, she needs to take a bath and change clothes!"

Cui Xi and Cui Si went to change clothes by themselves, Cui Lian took Cheng'er to serve Meiniang out of the bath, dried her hair, and just finished dressing up, she heard Wang Mama smiling outside the door and saying:

"The third grandma is here! The third grandma came at a coincidence. The eldest grandma just felt better and got up. She has already washed and washed, please come in!"

The mother-in-law raised the door curtain, Ning Rulan walked in with a smile, Meiniang went to the door, took her by the hand and led her to sit on the soft couch:
"I was tired all morning, so I didn't take a good rest, but came to see me again."

Ning Rulan looked at Mei Niang carefully, and said with a smile: "You look good, your face is more ruddy than mine, what's wrong? It's not because you secretly slept late, but taught me to sit alone in the Purple Cloud Hall. , It's not very interesting, it's boring!"

Mei Niang pretended to be displeased: "Are you right to say that? You can also take a late sleep and show me, lying down now, your bones are sore!"

Ning Rulan hurriedly apologized: "I'm just kidding, don't be annoyed! That means you have a severe headache? Have you taken any medicine?"

Mei Niang said: "I don't have a headache, I just feel dizzy, and the whole room is spinning around. I took a pill, and I feel better now!"

Ning Rulan clapped her hands: "The whole room is moving around! I know about this disease. After my sister-in-law gave birth to her first child, she didn't sleep well, and it was the same. Later, I asked a doctor to prescribe a prescription, and picked it up. Take the medicine and you'll be fine. You must have failed to take care of Sheng Heng when you were a child, leaving the root cause of the disease, and when I go back to my mother's house, I will get the prescription for you!"

Mei Niang hurriedly said: "I'll be fine after taking the pills, don't get tired and run this trip again!"

"Why are you tired? It's not far away. If there are not many people on the street in a car, it will only take half an hour to go back and forth."

Ning Rulan stretched out her hand to Jinshu who was at the side, put the small bundle in Jinshu's hand into her hand, and Rulan handed it to Meiniang instead:

"The only thing I can give you is good tea. This is what they just delivered, black tea and green tea, one box each, you drink slowly, I will bring it again!"

Mei Niang opened it to take a look, and said with a smile: "Look at this exquisite box, they are all like tributes. With your care, I can also drink tea that royal people can drink. Our family only has the old lady and the waiter Only then can we get close to the royal family!"

Ning Rulan saw that the room was filled with the closest people, so she also laughed in a low voice: "Royal people don't necessarily drink the best drink! The last time in the old lady's room, when Cousin Zhuang made tea flowers, she also Remember? You said it was a good tea from the Queen Mother, but you didn’t drink it. I tasted a cup, and it was old tea!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while, it turned out that all women can't get rid of gossip, they just look at the object, an elegant woman like Ning Rulan doesn't bother to talk in front of other sisters-in-law, but when she is with Mei Niang, she just talks and jokes Laugh, very happy.

Mei Niang said: "My illness is not all caused by the birth of Heng'er. I often had it when I was a girl in my natal family. I also went to the doctor to see it. He said it was caused by blood deficiency. It happened when I was nervous. Alas, But I try to control the house very strongly, I am afraid that if there are too many things in the future, I will get sick one after another, and you will be tired when the time comes!"

Ning Rulan comforted her: "I'll go back to my mother's house in a while. I'll take that prescription to see if it's worth it. If it doesn't work, I'll ask Master Hou to ask the one from last time to take a look. I wouldn't care about this housework if someone else If you are willing to get involved, if it is your housekeeper, I am willing to follow, no matter the daily chores, but there are some big ones, such as withdrawing money, and so on, you have to pass through you!"

Mei Niang nodded and said: "Wait for me to tell the accountant that the payment is less than 50 taels of silver, as long as you have a note written by you!"

Ning Rulan looked at her with twinkling eyes: "How do you trust me so much? In the past, the second mistress stayed with the eldest wife for a year or two. In terms of money, she didn't care about a penny."

Mei Niang smiled: "She wants to follow me, and I won't let her. It's like this between people, trust is the most important thing. But don't be too happy, I will delegate power to you, that is to let you divide me I am more happy to be free, and don't have to be remembered all the time!"

Ning Rulan suddenly realized: "That is why I am always remembered by others? You are very good at it!"

She smiled and said, "But it's good for me to hang out with those people and let you take care of yourself."

Mei Niang looked at her moved: "Ru Lan, you are the best to me!"

Ning Rulan nodded: "Except for the third master, I only treat you well! Remember, no matter what happens to you, I will definitely come!"

"Okay, I'll write it down." Meiniang grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly, and said: "I remember that I also learned some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the past, but now I have forgotten everything except a few characters. Someday I will go to your place to pick a few books to read, and find some piano scores to practice!"

Ru Lan turned her head and looked around, and said with a smile: "You really don't have any books in this room. If you don't have time to go there tomorrow, I will pick a few books and send them to you. Your Yaoqin is also missing." Shadow, otherwise I can teach you to remember some, you can forget the score, but you should remember the techniques you have practiced since childhood, and you will be familiar with it after a while."

Mei Niang looked at Wang Mama: "That's right. Didn't I love reading before? How about playing the piano? Why aren't there any books in this room?"

Ms. Wang's complexion changed, and before she could answer, Cui Si said, "Grandma used to love reading. Before Lord Hou came back, Grandma would go to the East Garden Study Room to read and paint. At that time, Miss Biao accompanied her every day. If you think we are noisy, let us wait in the upper room, and you won't let in through the Moon Cave Gate!"

Meiniang nodded thoughtfully, "That's right!"

Ms. Wang glanced at Cuisi and said, "Go, get some hot tea for the grandmas!"

Cui Sifu went down, and Meiniang said to Ru Lan: "So I am not like you. The room is full of books. I read and write and then go to the Dongyuan study. Now when the Lord Hou comes back, he has to read official documents every night." , I’m not going to go again!”

Ning Rulan smiled and nodded: "That's right, you can take a look in your own room."

The two talked about the old lady's room again, Mei Niang said: "I haven't come to the old ancestor to say hello for two days, she won't scold me, will she?"

Ning Rulan glanced at the girls, sighed and said: "The old lady is also used to responding to the occasion, she used to ignore it, but when the master comes back, she will have a smiling face for you anyway, because you have changed your temperament and will serve you. It's funny. If you don't come these two days, she won't ask, as if she forgot about you. The second grandma is fine, she served in front of the old lady for two days, chatting and laughing with Cousin Zhuang, very harmonious .”

Mei Niang was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "The old lady is an elder, if she forgets me, it's a bad memory, but I can't forget her! Let's stay in the old lady's room together at night and earn her a meal!"

Ning Rulan laughed at what she said: "That's good, but I have to go back to my mother's house first, and get your prescription!"

Mei Niang said: "I won't go today. Tomorrow I will go to Ziyun Hall to listen to the women's reply and deal with business. You should sleep more and get up later before going. I don't think it will happen in the next few days!"

Ning Rulan nodded in agreement.

Cuisi brewed a pot of black tea brought by Ning Rulan, and the sister-in-law tasted it, discussing the different tastes and benefits of black tea and green tea. She didn't realize that she drank all the tea, and didn't refill the water. She got up and tidied up her body Make up and go to the old lady's room.
