It was quiet for a while after that. Xu Chunjun was busy doing embroidery every day and didn't go out much.
Because Cen Yunchu went out, Jiang Nuan and the three of them did not get together.
That day Xu Lang came over and said to Xu Chunjun: "Let go of what you are doing and go out for a walk. You are always shut up at home, and people are feeling depressed."
"Third Aunt, there's no need to rush me. After I've finished making these clothes, I'm almost done with the work at hand. You don't need to tell me, I have to go out for a walk." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, putting down the needlework in his hand.
This is a Yuehua satin lining, made to fit Xu Lang's figure.
Since there is no embroidery, I am particularly picky about needlework.
"Young girl, you are very patient. If you were locked in the room for a long time doing needlework, you would be more or less irritable. But look at all the work you do, every one of them is fine and even." At this time, the eldest wife also said.
He came over and looked at the needlework done by Xu Chunjun.
At this time, Xu Daoan's wife Song also came over, with a somewhat anxious look on her face.
Although she is now the head of the family, she is still young and young, so she has to ask Xu Lang for advice on many matters.
"Third Aunt is indeed here." When Mrs. Song saw Xu Lang, the expression on her face couldn't help but soften.
"What's wrong?" Xu Lang asked her to sit down: "It's cold today, so don't walk too hastily, or you may get cold air in your stomach."
In the early spring of this year, Mrs. Song was seven months pregnant and gave birth prematurely due to an accident with her husband.
She was worried and scared, so naturally she did not sit well during the confinement period. And because it was always rainy during those days, she suffered from rheumatism, and now she feels a little uncomfortable when the weather gets cold.
"I thought Mr. Lu's family often sends people to deliver things to us. Yesterday, the second master met an old acquaintance from Huzhou and gave him some specialties. I thought about taking half of it and sending it to that house. Who wants to go?
The man came back and said that his second son was ill."
After hearing this, Xu Lang, Xu Chunjun and others quickly asked what the disease was.
"I sent Mother Wu to go, but she came back and said she only saw Mother Ye at the door. She said that Mrs. Hou was very worried about the second young master's illness. Other illnesses were gone, but it happened to be smallpox."
"You really need to be careful," Xu Lang said after hearing this. "This disease can be big or small. With the blessing of Bodhisattva, please let it go quickly."
Smallpox is a disease that everyone can get. If the symptoms are mild, a fever for a day or two will be enough, but if the symptoms are severe, it can be fatal.
Mrs. Song asked for Xu Lang's idea again and asked if she wanted to go over there to say hello.
"Third aunt, second sister-in-law, how about I go over and take a look?" Xu Chunjun said.
"Tell Chunjun to go! She is the closest person to Madam Marquis in our family. Besides, they are worried, so a large group of us went there, so it's no big deal if we don't entertain them. If we entertain them, we don't have the intention, so we might as well not cause trouble for them.
Just let Mr. Chun give you a message." Xu Lang said.
"In this case, I'll go tomorrow. It's getting late today anyway, and our family just came back." Xu Chunjun said, "I better prepare something."
She was always the most meticulous and prudent, so Xu Lang didn't ask her what she had prepared.
He just sat there for a while and then came out with a few other people.
"Girl, why don't you take a rest early today?" Lvchun came over to refill the lamp oil at night, and couldn't help but feel sorry for Xu Chunjun, "Show work is the most hurtful to the eyes, and besides, the girl has been doing needlework all day long."
"Of course the girl has her reasons for being in such a hurry. It's a pity that you and I can't keep up with the girl's needlework, otherwise we could have done it for her." Of course Zi Ling felt distressed, but she knew Xu Chunjun's temperament better.
"I don't want to mention it, these hands and claws are as stupid as dogs." Green Ulva sometimes really wishes that she could be more clever so that she could help the girl share the burden. "As for you, sister, the work is actually good, but it's a pity that I can't catch up.
girl."
The two of them had no choice but to pick the lamp for Xu Chun and serve her a cup of tea.
"You two go and have a rest. You don't have to stay here with me." Xu Chunjun was very considerate of her servants. She and Ziling Lvchun were called masters and servants, but in fact they were sisters.
"Lu Shen, go to bed quickly, it's enough for me to stay here with the girl." Zi Ling was older and more calm.
Lvchun couldn't resist her, so she had to go to bed first, not forgetting to say: "I will only sleep for a while, and I will come and take your place in a while."
"I don't want you to take my place, just go to sleep! I'm not sleepy." Zi Ling pushed her out.
Although Zi Ling cannot embroider for Xu Chunjun, she can help her identify needles and organize threads.
The master and the servant talked one after another, and the night gradually got deeper.
After midnight, Xu Chunjun finished the work.
I just feel pain in my lower back and my hands are numb.
"Girl, please have a rest, lie down and I will give you a good pounding." Zi Ling said, helping Xu Chunjun to go to bed and lie down.
Xu Chunjun pushed her to go to bed quickly.
Sure enough, I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright.
Xu Chunjun had breakfast, got dressed and went out.
When we arrived at the gate of Marquis Chengyi's Mansion, we saw that the gate was closed and only the corner door was open.
Because of the smallpox infection, the Hou Mansion was closed to all visitors, with only the doctors coming in and out.
Naturally, the gatekeeper of the Hou Mansion recognized Xu Chunjun. He hurriedly invited Ann and said, "Miss Xu, please wait a moment. I will go in and report to you."
Not long after entering, Mother Ye came out.
He said hello to Xu Chunjun, stood not far away and said: "Girl, I should have invited you in. The situation is very special now, and I must be rude. Please forgive me."
"Mom is too polite. I heard about it yesterday and thought about it all night. I wonder how the second young master is doing now?" Xu Chunjun asked with concern.
"It's hot now, and the doctors said it's not that important, but I have to wait until the surgery is over before I can feel relieved." Mother Ye said, "Madam, I've been thinking about it these days. I didn't even eat breakfast, so I just chanted sutras inside.
"
"Then please tell my mother and tell her to relax. The second young master has great blessings, and these minor disasters and illnesses will naturally be over soon." Xu Chunjun said warmly.
"Thank you very much for your kind words, Miss. I will definitely tell Madam." Mother Ye thanked her repeatedly.
"Actually, I guess I won't be able to enter the house today. I rushed to embroider a portrait of the Pimple Queen last night, which can be regarded as a little effort." Xu Chunjun said, and Ziling handed the rolled embroidered portrait to Mother Ye.
Xu Chunjun also wrote a letter to comfort his wife and handed it over.
"Miss Xu, go slowly. When the second young master is well, I will definitely invite you to come and stay with me for two more days." Mother Ye watched Xu Chunjun get on the carriage, "Madam has to talk to you several times every day, which shows how much she values you."
"Mom, please take care of yourself. With an old man like you here, my wife will feel more confident." Xu Chunjun replied with a smile, "I will wait until the second young master is well again, and I will come to celebrate."
