When Mrs. Cen returned home, she was greeted by the maids and women, who followed her back to the room.
Because of getting up early in the morning, burning incense and praying, coupled with the bumpy carriage back and forth, the elderly people will inevitably lose energy.
The younger members of the family didn't dare to take it lightly and asked from time to time if they felt uncomfortable.
The old lady took a sip of hot tea and went to bed.
Everyone who served around her knew that the Madam didn't like to be around many people when she was resting, so she left one of the most attentive maids behind and the rest retreated to the outside.
When it was time for lunch, the third lady and her granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Mo, came over to invite them in person.
The old lady said she was a little tired, so Mo said, "I'll pick up some of the old lady's favorite foods and eat them in this room."
Usually the old lady eats outside. Today, Mr. Mo brought the food in, moved a low table next to the bed, and put the food on top.
The wife said to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law: "As long as they are here to take care of you, you two should go and eat quickly. Why are you so glaring in front of me? I don't feel comfortable."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled and then left.
The maids in front of her served the old lady while she ate, and then put away the dishes.
One rubbed his shoulders and the other beat his legs. The second master, Cen Tong, also came over to talk to his mother to relieve her boredom.
The third wife was somewhat uneasy at first. Although she felt that Chen Siwen's words were probably nonsense, she was still afraid of what might happen.
Now that I see that the old lady is in good spirits, I have dispelled all my few doubts.
Mr. Cen stayed in his mother's room for an hour before leaving. Then the female family members came over and had sex with the old lady.
Granddaughter-in-law Mo Shiyin asked for instructions: "The old lady doesn't eat much for breakfast or lunch. I wonder what she wants for dinner? I can ask them to prepare it."
After hearing this, the old lady smiled and said: "Don't tell me, I suddenly have an appetite now. Didn't Shaoling and Shao Zhu say they shot a few pheasants yesterday? Let's make a pheasant and dried bamboo shoot soup!
Don't make it too salty. Although the bad quail tasted good last time, it was a bit too salty."
The younger generation of the Cen family has nine grandchildren, four in the eldest room, three in the third room and two in the fourth room.
The old lady called Shaoling the fourth child and Shao Zhu the fifth child.
Mrs. Mo hurriedly agreed: "I'll ask them to make it lighter. How about adding a mushroom spring roll and gluten bean sprouts?"
"It's very suitable," the old lady nodded, "just don't overdo it. It won't hurt if you eat it and throw it away. It's a pity. You don't have to run back and forth. It's a cold day, just ask them to go to the kitchen and tell them."
"
But Mo said with a smile: "I'm afraid that what they said is incomplete. Besides, I have to see those things in person before I can rest assured. The wind has stopped now, and I haven't walked a few steps. I will come back as soon as I go."
Cen Yunchu also stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't I go with you? It's also a good companion."
Mrs. Mo was not much older than her, and she was considerate and generous in dealing with others. She was very popular with the elders. Cen Yunchu also had a good relationship with her.
So the two sisters went to the kitchen together. On the way, Mrs. Mo said to Cen Yunchu: "I went back to my parents' house a few days ago, and Yuzhen said that I haven't seen you for a long time. It's strange. Unfortunately, she caught the wind and had a cough.
I'm too sick for you, otherwise I would have run away to play with you."
The Yuzhen Mo mentioned was her maiden sister, who was only one year younger than Cen Yunchu. She had a docile and amiable temperament, and was one of the few people who could get along well with Cen Yunchu.
"I was just about to ask her," Cen Yunchu said. "It turns out she is sick. It's nothing serious. Why don't I go see her some other time and bring her something delicious and fun. Once she's happy, her illness will be cured."
.”
"It would be best if you are willing to go. I'm just afraid of wronging you. That girl Yuzhen is usually nice, but sometimes she can be careless," said Mo.
"I'm such an old man, I always have to be taken care of by others." Cen Yunchu didn't take it seriously. "I'm often careless in what I say and do. People who can tolerate others will naturally tolerate them. It's useless to talk too much about those who can't."
"You!" Mrs. Mo was amused by her, "You are truly unparalleled in heaven and earth. If you don't know, you must think you are so difficult to get along with. In fact, you are the easiest person to get along with. If we get along, we will get together, and if we don't, we will break up."
There’s no need to say anything unnecessary.”
"I like what my sister-in-law said. Apart from my father, you are the only one in the whole family who understands me somewhat." Cen Yunchu also smiled.
Except that Cen Yunchu stayed at home longer this year, in previous years he spent most of his time traveling around various places with his father Cen Tong.
Mrs. Mo has been married for more than two years, but she doesn't know Cen Yunchu very well.
In my impression, this sister-in-law is extremely beautiful and has a very aloof personality.
Mrs. Mo still remembers the first time she met Cen Yunchu, eight words popped into her head: as beautiful as a peach and plum, as cold as ice.
Later, Zuo Zhengqing gave her a horoscope, but the result was very bad.
At the time, Mrs. Mo was also worried that Cen Yunchu would not be able to think about it, but later found that she did not take this matter very seriously.
This made Mrs. Mo look at her with admiration. After all, she might not be able to bear the rumors.
The two of them went to the kitchen for a walk and then came back. It was already getting late.
When the lights were on, it was time to have dinner. The old lady came to rest and was in a good mood, so she asked everyone to stay here to eat with her.
Of course, it is limited to the female family members. The men in the family always eat in the dining room outside.
Otherwise, if everyone comes, the old lady won't be able to stay here.
As soon as the food was on the table, Mrs. Mo and Cen Yunchu helped the old lady out of bed.
The old lady's maid knelt on the ground and put on the old lady's shoes. When she put on her right foot, it was fine. When she put on her left foot, the old lady frowned and said, "Why are these feet so numb? I think it's because I've been sitting on the bed for a long time.
Numb."
After everyone heard what she said, they hurriedly pushed her muscles to relieve the bleeding.
After rubbing it for a long time, the old lady said: "Just leave it like this, just go for a walk in the ground and it will be fine."
But who would have thought that as soon as the old lady's feet touched the ground, she fell sideways.
Thanks to Cen Yunchu's support, he didn't fall to the ground.
"Ouch, what's going on?!" The third wife heard the noise from outside and came in quickly.
Everyone helped the old lady up and sat back on the bed.
"I don't know what's wrong with my legs. It's like stepping on cotton. I just can't exert any strength." The old lady stretched out her hand and pinched her legs again and again, but she felt that the legs were becoming more and more swollen and she couldn't feel the pain at all.
Everyone also felt that something was wrong, so the fourth wife said: "Send someone quickly to ask for the doctor, and ask Jin Wuzhen to come and take a look."
"Didn't Doctor Jin say that day that he would rush back to his hometown to worship his ancestors? He was probably no longer in the capital at this time." Cen Yunchu reminded from the side.
"Yes, yes! Look at me, I get confused when I'm busy." The fourth wife couldn't help but blame herself.
"Then let's ask Dr. Zhou. His medical skills are also very good." The third wife said hurriedly.
"Two aunts, do you know if Mr. Chen is still outside?" Cen Yunchu remembered Chen Siwen following them.
