Imperial Physician Wei and his medical daughter Aunt Xie came to Jintong every three days for follow-up consultations, acupuncture, and re-preparation of medicines.
Aunt Xie also taught several maids massage techniques. In addition, Jintong's dowry, Aunt Qi, knew medical skills and took care of Jintong's health in every possible way.
In this way, within half a month, Lin Jiatong could actually get out of bed and walk around, and the wound on her head was scarred. However, she still applied a layer of fine powder on her face every day, pretending to be pale and weak, and lay on the bed pretending to be dead to numb everyone.
Her third aunt Zuo Congyun felt sorry for Jintong's difficulty as a new bride, so she came to visit her in three to five days.
Zuo Congyun is a slightly rich middle-aged woman, with a dignified oval face, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes full of smiles, two dimples and a loud voice, which makes Lin Jiatong feel like a bright sun for no reason.
Zuo Congyun came closer to Lin Jiatong, carefully parted her hair and looked at it carefully: "Fortunately, the injury is in the hair, and it will form scars. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see it."
Lin Jiatong showed off his unlovable character: "So what if you see it? No one around me is watching!"
Zuo Congyun quickly comforted: "I'm not coming!"
"There is only the third aunt! Alas!"
"It's not just me! Many families in Beijing sent people to greet you, but my mother-in-law and I saw that you were seriously injured and it was not appropriate to bother us, so we asked Wu An to stop us and wait until you are well again."
Lin Jiatong smiled weakly: "Thank you for your trouble, mother-in-law and third aunt!"
"Sister, please call me Sister Yun. It sounds younger." Zuo Congyun gently took Jintong's hand: "Sister, take good care of yourself and don't think too much. Butler Wu is already investigating. If someone really dares to murder my sister,
When the time comes, I will fight or kill you, it’s just a word from my sister.”
Lin Jiatong lowered her eyes: "Sister Yun, it was my sister who was careless. There is nothing to find out!" She knew clearly that this was Shen Miaolian's move. As long as she was not touched, nothing could be found out!
"No matter what, it's important to take good care of yourself. Before Qi Shu left, he asked Third Master and me to take good care of you. Wouldn't it feel bad if Qi Uncle came back to see you like this?"
"Sister Yun, I'll find an excuse to kill Aunt Shen with a stick. Do you think Master Qi will feel bad when he comes back?" Lin Jiatong pretended to have a silly and "angry" expression, suddenly changed her subject, and held on to her left hand tightly.
Asked from Yun's hand.
Zuo Congyun represents Mrs. Zhen’s attitude. She will test things out first and then decide how serious to act.
"My sister is the mistress of the Hou Mansion, so what big deal is it to kill a concubine with a stick? What does Master Qi have to feel sorry for?" Zuo Congyun replied with a half-smile.
"Sister Yun, Aunt Shen is the biological mother of Sister Zhan's son after all. No matter how ignorant my sister is, she will not beat or kill her. Are you laughing at me?"
"If one of her concubines disrespects the mistress and wants to be beaten, killed or sold, then she can follow her sister's wishes. What's so funny about her?"
"Sister Yun, can you do me a favor?" Lin Jiatong looked playful.
Zuo Congyun was wary. Is this girl trying to borrow a knife to kill someone? She smiled and said, "Sister, please tell me."
"Sister Yun, Sister Zhan is nine years old. I think she is the eldest daughter of the Hou family after all, so it would be awkward to keep her by Aunt Shen's side. Why don't you help me and let Sister Zhan go to a private school in Master Zuo's home?
Reading, can Sister Yun help me with this?"
"Of course it's a help!" Zuo Congyun agreed: "I see that Sister Zhan is getting more and more shameless, timid and timid, and has no bearing at all like a young lady from the Hou family! My aunt is ill in bed, and she doesn't come to serve her with medicine every day.
No need to send my regards!"
"Sister Zhan is still young, so I didn't let her come because I was afraid that she would be sick. If I go to school, it will be a burden to my sister." Lin Jiatong quickly pretended to be virtuous. There was no need to deal with a nine-year-old naughty child.
Zuo Congyun continued to chat with Jintong about some interesting anecdotes about his trip to Beijing, and then left after watching Jintong's time to take medicine.
She originally wanted to stop by Yaxinxuan to explain to Zheng Zheng, but the little maid guarding the door actually told her that Zheng Zhan had gone to Aunt Shen's Tingyu Xiaozhu. Zuo Congyun suddenly felt angry, and blew in like a gust of wind. Tingyu Xiaozhu!
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Zheng Zhan and Shen Miaolian chatting and laughing, very intimate and harmonious.
"What a picture of Cheng Huan on his knees, but I am the one who disturbed you mother and daughter!"
Shen Miaolian's face changed in an instant, and she knelt on the ground in panic: "The third lady said something serious, I don't dare." She was just a concubine, so Zheng Zhan could only call her "aunt". Zhan and Jintong are the serious "mother and daughter".
"Third Aunt, my mother has been grounded. I came here to take a look because I was worried about her." Zheng Zhan stretched out his hand to pull Shen Miaolian to stand up.
Zuo Congyun was extremely angry and laughed back: "Sister, you are so filial! Mother? Your mother is ill in bed now! What kind of mother is this of yours? Aunt Shen ordered the grounding personally from the old lady, so you are worried Are you up? You still have a mother! Can Aunt Shen afford to be a concubine? Sister, don’t you understand the rules of respect and inferiority? "
Shen Miaolian suddenly pulled the hem of Zuo Congyun's skirt with pear blossoms: "Third madam, everything is my concubine's fault. Please, for the sake of the prince, don't blame the eldest lady!"
"Aunt Shi, take the eldest lady back to prepare. In three days, go to the private school in Zuo Shilang's house to learn the rules!" Then kicked Shen Miaolian away: "Aunt Shen, be careful! Be grounded!"
It only took a moment for Aunt Cai to know what happened in Tingyu Xiaozhu. "Madam, I heard Aunt Shen say that she gave birth to a pair of children for Master Qi. We always thought that one of them died due to some other reason, and Master Qi felt guilty. I have never loved her so much. But now there are various signs that this..."
"Mother Cai, do you also think Zheng Yu was born to Shen Miaolian?" Zheng Yu is the prince of Jian'an and the legitimate son of Zuo Congyun. But the strange thing is that Shen Miaolian has always been in contact with Zheng Yu in private. Although Zheng Yu Yu mostly ignored it. However, after listening to some gossip from the servants in the Hou Mansion, it seemed that Zheng Yu was indeed involved with Shen Miaolian, which was very intriguing.
"This is the only way to explain it, or why Aunt Shen restrained herself enough to come here and frequently asked someone to bring letters to the prince to tell her grievances. Logically speaking, if she wants to cry and complain, she should go to the seventh master!" Aunt Cai Baibai I can't figure it out, and the more the prince's investigation continues, the more complicated it becomes.
"Mother Cai, ignore the rest. We are only checking the slaves in the house for those who cheated on me while I was seriously injured, those who embezzled public funds, and those who secretly colluded with Shen Miaolian. Ignore the rest for now!"
——————
Zuo Congyun was very fast and settled the matter of the family school the next day. However, Zheng Tan's nanny, Aunt Shi, came to report that Zheng Tan had caught a cold and needed to rest for a few days and could not go to Zuo's family school.
Zuo Congyun had a fiery temper and was so angry that he wanted to rush to Xinyaxuan and personally take Zheng Tan to his private school.
On the contrary, it was Lin Jiatong who persuaded her: "Sister Yun, she is a child, and she has been raised by Aunt Shen's side. Now that she is allowed to study, she will feel uncomfortable and may cause some awkwardness. Take your time and don't rush. , My sister promises you that next month, Sister Zhan will definitely go to Zuo’s family school.”
"Sister Ying started learning needlework from me when she was five years old, helping to manage the family. At the age of eight, she went to the girls' school in Hanmo Building to learn etiquette and rules. Even the maids in the palace praised her in every possible way.
My sister is nine years old now, but she is so unattractive, alas!"
Zheng Ying is the eldest daughter of Zuo Congyun. She is now married. When she was married, she was also a well-known lady in Beijing. The more Zuo Congyun looked at the comparison, the more she sighed and couldn't help but complain about Zheng Qiyan: "
The same goes for Uncle Qi, how can I let Sister Zhan be taken care of by an aunt! How can a Shen family slave bring up a noble lady?"
"Sister Yun, don't be angry! Let's not talk about sister-in-law. Let's talk to my sister about what's new in Beijing recently?" Lin Jiatong changed the topic.
Every time Zuo Congyun comes here, she will tell some new and interesting stories to make Jintong smile to relieve the depression and boredom during the illness, or she will reveal some information in and out of words to express the meaning of their mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhen. She has a straightforward temper.
It seems that he speaks without restraint, but he is actually very measured. He never exaggerates and speaks empty words, and his words must have substance.
Lin Jiatong wore Jintong's skin, listened carefully, summarized by category, discussed with Aunt Cai and Aunt Qi, and finally made the determination to use heavy codes in troubled times and kill more than a dozen unruly slaves with a stick to establish authority!
In this evil feudal society, it is normal for a master to kill a few servants if he is in a bad mood! What’s more, it is even more so if he makes a mistake!
Lin Jiatong guessed that Shen Miaolian had been running the business in the Hou Mansion for many years, and Zheng Qiyan was partial to her, so he couldn't hurt her for a while. So he rested in peace and recuperated, and by the way, he experienced the top quality life of an ancient noblewoman.
She wanted to eat an orange, so Ning Zi washed her hands, peeled it, and carefully picked out the orange veins one by one.
Then, Lin Jiatong, who stretched out her little paws to eat, was turned back with a soft look from Ning Zi.
"Wait a minute, madam!" Then he took out a silver needle, carefully opened each orange segment, carefully picked out the orange core with a silver clip, and gently peeled off the orange coat to reveal the orange flesh inside.
Finally, Lin Jiatong used a silver fork to eat the most exquisite orange in his life.
To eat a melon, Danzhu used a special silver spoon to scoop the melon meat into a small ball shape and put it on a shiny glazed one-legged plate. Lin Jiatong ate one piece with a silver skewer and sighed, this is the life people live!
?Yaoshou!
Eat pears, cut them into pieces, and soak them in honey water before letting Jintong eat them. Because pears are cold in nature, they must be neutralized, otherwise they are not harmful to Jintong's body.
Even the grapes are carefully peeled off by Ning Zi, cut into two halves with a silver knife, and the grape seeds are pinched out with tweezers before being served to eat.
Absolutely amazing! Lin Jiatong has never eaten a complete fruit since she woke up!
What’s even more amazing is that even the containers for holding fruits are matched according to the color of the fruits, and no one is the same!
As the days went by, Lin Jiatong Beier felt sorry for and cared for the maid and grandma who served her personally.
In this harmonious atmosphere of master and servant, the entire Yanbo Haomiaoxuan people worked together to investigate the entire Hou Mansion externally and serve Jintong internally. Lin Jiatong doubted whether he could not take care of himself!
