Phoenix Indus

Chapter 23

Since she brought Sister Ling and Brother Di back to her side to raise her, and put an end to the worries in her heart, Jun Xueqi felt much more relaxed.

After breakfast every day, Jun Xueqi took Sister Ling and Brother Di to the plum courtyard to say good morning, and then returned to the bamboo courtyard to coax the children to play.

After lunch at noon, Jun Xueqi personally coaxed sister Ling to take a nap. After Ling sister fell asleep, she went to visit Di Geer to make sure that Di Geer had also fallen asleep before returning to the main room to rest.

After dinner in the evening, Jun Xueqi took the children to Mei Yuan to say good night, and talked with Master Jin and Mrs. Su for a while.After returning to the bamboo courtyard, let the nannies coax the sisters and brothers to go back to Dongkua courtyard to play, while I go back to the main room to remove makeup, take a bath, read a book, and do needlework for a while.After late at night, I went to the Dongkua courtyard to look around and make sure that the children were asleep before returning to the main room to rest.

It can be said that the life was relaxed and comfortable, and Jun Xueqi's heart, which had been tense for a long time after marrying into the Jin family, finally relaxed.

At the end of autumn, the weather gradually turned cooler.Jun Xueqi cleaned and dried her and her children's winter clothes, shoes and socks, and thick quilts, while rummaging for some good materials in the warehouse of the bamboo yard to make new winter clothes, shoes and socks for her and her children. .

In the twinkling of an eye, early winter entered, the dawn gradually got late, and the dark gradually got earlier.Mrs. Su was afraid that Mr. Jin would not be able to rest well, and she was also afraid that Jun Xueqi and the children would come to say hello early in the morning and evening, because of the wind and cold.Therefore, it was ordered that everyone's greetings in the morning and evening were omitted, and they were only asked to go to the Meiyuan together at noon when it was warm, and have lunch with Mrs. Su.

Jun Xueqi was afraid that Sister Ling and Brother Di would get sick again due to the unbearable cold, so she took out her private house and added two charcoal basins for each of them on top of the charcoal basins that had been distributed to the children in the office. He also specially instructed the nanny and servant girl to ventilate the room frequently every day, so as not to damage the children's bodies by the charcoal basin.

That night, Jun Xueqi was sleeping peacefully under a thick winter quilt, when she was shaken awake by Nanny Shen, put on her little jacket, sat up, opened her sleepy eyes, and asked in surprise: "It's so late, why is mother here? But what happened?"

Shen Momo frowned, and replied: "Grandma, Brother Di has a fever, the nanny dare not delay, and went back to the mother-in-law, let the mother-in-law come back to grandma."

Jun Xueqi woke up in shock after hearing this, and called Xiangyu, who was keeping watch at the night in the Xinuang Pavilion, to help her wash and dress, and at the same time told Nanny Shen to run out quickly, and asked the janitor to go out to invite the girl. The doctor comes in.

In the largest medical clinic in Yongning City, there are two female doctors who are a pair of sisters-in-law.Because it is not very convenient to invite male doctors to come in to see a doctor for female relatives, so generally the female relatives of prominent families in the city are sick, or the male master is not at home, and it is inconvenient to invite male doctors, these two female doctors are invited in to see a doctor.

At this time, the fourth watch had passed, and Jun Xueqi didn't want to disturb Master Jin and Mrs. Su's rest, so she didn't send anyone to report back.I just packed it up by myself, ran to Dongkua courtyard, guarded De Geer, and waited for the female doctor to come in.He also specially asked Xiangyu to go out and take care of the bamboo courtyard, not to let anyone out, so as not to startle Master Jin and Mrs. Su.

Seeing Jun Xueqi coming, the nanny and maid were so frightened that they knelt on the ground to plead guilty and begged for mercy.

Jun Xueqi was not in the mood to send them off at this time, she just hurriedly urged: "Get up, what's the use of kneeling now? My brother is already sick like this, and I don't dare to rush to deliver hot water and handkerchiefs Come in, and go to the kitchenette, and let the night watchman ask for some wine."

After finishing speaking, he instructed Xiangxue again: "Go to the Xinuang Pavilion in the main room, take out one of the ginseng that my master brought back last time, send it to the small kitchen, and let the ginseng soup that is on duty at night bring in."

Xiangxue agreed, and hurriedly went back to the main room to get ginseng. Seeing this, the nanny and maid got up quickly and ran out to prepare hot water, handkerchiefs and wine.

When the nanny and maid brought hot water, handkerchiefs and wine in, Jun Xueqi hurriedly rolled up her sleeves, threw hot water on the handkerchief, wiped De Geer's body up and down, soaked the handkerchief in wine, and gave the handkerchief to Di Ge'er. Brother wiped his whole body twice, then put on new underwear, wrapped him tightly with a quilt, and waited for the female doctor to come in.

After the female doctor came in, she greeted Jun Xueqi first, and then sat down beside the bed to diagnose and treat De Geer.After finishing the consultation for a while, the female doctor got up and went to the warm pavilion to prescribe prescriptions.Jun Xueqi left Nanny Shen to watch Brother Di, and followed her out of the inner room.

After entering the Nuan Pavilion, Jun Xueqi walked up to the female doctor, and asked with a smile, "I'm sorry to invite you in for a consultation at such a late hour. It's just that our brother is young and weak, so he dare not delay his illness." , I can only trouble you for your hard work. I wonder if our brother is seriously ill? Does it matter?"

The female doctor hurriedly got up, and replied respectfully: "Grandma, you are polite. It is not a trivial matter for such a young child to be sick. Grandma should be solemn. Please rest assured, grandma, my brother is just blown by the wind and caught cold, it is not serious. Yes. Grandma is smart. She wiped my brother’s body with wine and lowered his fever. After I finished the prescription, grandma sent someone to follow me back to grab the medicine. After I came back, I fed my brother to drink and sweated. , It’s all right. After dinner tomorrow, I’ll come in to see brother for a follow-up visit, and then we’ll see if we need to change the prescription.”

After hearing these words, Jun Xueqi let go of her hanging heart, and thanked her with a smile: "Thanks, thank you. When our brother is well, the Jin family will thank you very much."

The female doctor said a few more words of humility, and after writing the prescription, she asked Jun Xueqi to resign.Jun Xueqi asked Nanny Shen to take the two boys on the door to send the female doctor back, and brought back some medicine.He also asked Aunt Shen to give the female doctor another five taels of silver after paying for the medicine and consultation fees, as a thank you for her late-night consultation.

After the female doctor was sent away, Jun Xueqi turned around and sat beside the bed, guarding Di Geer in her clothes, and kept wiping her face and hands with the handkerchief she had thrown.When Xiangxue came in with the ginseng soup, she picked up De Ge'er herself, fed him slowly after sips of ginseng soup, and coaxed him to sleep softly.

When Nanny Shen got the medicine and came back, and asked Xiangxue to boil the medicine, Jun Xueqi coaxed Brother Di to drink the medicine again, and coaxed him to sleep.After he sweated, dissipated the heat, and slept peacefully, Jun Xueqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Until the sky lightened slightly, all the maids in the bamboo courtyard got up, Jun Xueqi asked the nanny and the maids to watch Brother Di, went back to the room to freshen up, changed clothes, and let Shenmao, Xiangyu and Xiangxue go down again Rest, and then take Yueling and Shuiling to visit sister Ling.

Jun Xueqi told Nanny Chen about Brother Di's illness, and said: "Now that Brother Di is sick, I will stay there to watch, and sister Ling may not come here very often. I have to ask my mother to take care of my sister. If there is anything wrong, or if there is something missing, my mother will tell Shen’s mother, and Shen’s mother will help her with cooking. These days, my mother took her sister in Let's eat in the house, watch over my sister, don't let her go to Di Ge'er, if she gets sick, it will be bad."

Seeing Jun Xueqi's exhausted face, bloodshot eyes and dark circles around her eyes, Chen Mama knew that she hadn't slept all night. , just nodded and said: "Grandma, please rest assured, the mother-in-law will take good care of my sister and prevent my sister from getting sick."

Jun Xueqi nodded reassuringly, and gave some instructions to the nanny and maid, and then she left the north room where Sister Ling lived, and returned to the south room where De Geer lived.

After Jun Xueqi had breakfast in the warm pavilion in the south chamber, she personally fed Brother Di a bowl of porridge and medicine before coaxing him to sleep.

Counting that Master Jin and Mrs. Su should have finished their breakfast, Jun Xueqi asked Yue Ling to wake up Nanny Shen, and asked her to go to Meiyuan to report Brother Di's illness, and asked her to comfort her, so that Master Jin would not let Master Jin He and Mrs. Su were too worried.

A shrewd woman like Shen Momo naturally knew about this, so how should she report it.After comforting Jun Xueqi a few words, she rushed to Meiyuan, but she did not expect to see Mother Feng in the small hall in the main room of Meiyuan.As shrewd as Nanny Shen, she understood what was going on as soon as she thought about it, and she couldn't help cursing Nanny Feng for not knowing good from bad.

It turns out that since Dige'er moved into Dongkua courtyard, Mother Feng always ran there because of bad things, so she asked Dige'er's maid to go to Xikuayuan every morning to tell all about Dige'er. her again.

But this morning, Mother Feng waited and waited, but no maid came.I had to clean up and prepare a plate of snacks. In the name of sending snacks to De Geer, I went to Dongkuayuan to visit De Geer.But he didn't expect to learn that De Ge'er was ill from the rough envoy girl, and also heard that Master Jin and Mrs. Su didn't know about it.

The poor girl couldn't enter the master's room, so she naturally didn't know very clearly, but she just listened to one or two sentences.

This Sister Feng is also not shrewd. After hearing this, she only thought that Jun Xueqi had treated Di Geer poorly, and without any second thoughts, she hurriedly ran to the Meiyuan, thinking that Master Jin and Su In front of Madam, sue Jun Xueqi.

Mrs. Su naturally didn't believe that Jun Xueqi would act like this, but Master Jin was sitting there, and she couldn't open her mouth to say anything, she just waited for Master Jin to speak.Coincidentally at this time, Nanny Shen came in to say hello.

Master Jin put down the tea in his hand, and asked with a stern face, "Mrs. Shen, I heard from Mrs. Feng that Brother Di was ill last night. Is it true? Why didn't I see you come to report such a big matter."

Although Shen Momo was full of anger in her heart, she didn't dare to show it on the faces of Master Jin and Mrs. Su, she quickly knelt down and replied, "Brother did have a fever last night, because it was the fourth watch, I'm afraid I disturbed the rest of the master and wife, so I did not come to report, and I ask the master and wife to forgive me."

Seeing that Nanny Shen recognized her, Nanny Feng was proud of herself, she knelt down and cried, "Master and wife, please be the masters of my brother. For such a serious matter as my brother's illness, grandma will not report to the master and wife. Brother Ruo My son is really sick, and the mother-in-law has no face to see my grandfather and aunt. My poor brother has only been in this world for more than a year."

After hearing this, Nanny Shen straightened her upper body, pointed at Nanny Feng and yelled angrily: "You bastard with a broken heart and lungs, stop talking nonsense and slander grandma."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed to Master Jin and Mrs. Su, raised his head, and replied loudly: "Master and wife, please be clear, grandma is not as bad-hearted as Mrs. Feng said, grandma really cares about brother .”

Said, Jiang Jun Xueqi stayed up all night, guarded Di Geer, took care of her carefully, invited a female doctor to come in for a consultation, until now she has not closed her eyes and rested, etc., and reported in detail to Master Jin and Mrs. Su .

After hearing this, Mother Feng's heart sank, she cursed herself for being confused, her whole body began to break out in cold sweat, and her eyes were tightly closed.This is a big crime for framing the wife's grandma. If Jun Xueqi blames it, her old life will be taken into account.
