Mrs. Chen's house was in a mess, and word quickly spread throughout the yard.
"woke up!"
"Sure enough, I woke up!"
"Tian Ye, he said he would wake up in the early morning at the latest, and he did!"
Chen Shao was all excited.
"Quick, go and invite Mrs. Cheng." He said tremblingly.
Several servant girls responded and ran out, but were stopped by Mrs. Chen Shao.
"Sanlang, didn't Mrs. Cheng say to take medicine when she wakes up and don't wake her up?" she said.
Chen Shao stamped his feet.
"How can you take Da Da's words seriously? They are just to tell us that she is confident." He said, waving his hands, "No matter how you say it, how can you listen to it? Go quickly, go quickly.
"
In order to facilitate consultation and medication, Cheng Jiaoniang's residence was arranged very close to Mrs. Chen. The bustle started before dawn there, but it was quiet as usual here.
There were fewer lights in the yard than in other places, and the room was even darker, indicating that the occupants were still asleep.
Of course, quiet as usual refers to the master and servant Cheng Jiaoniang. The four servants of the Zhou family were already having trouble sleeping. When they heard the excitement, they hurriedly came out to watch several times.
At this time, he saw the Chen family's servant woman coming and greeted her nervously and excitedly.
"Sisters, how are you?"
"My lady is a miracle doctor, my lady is a miracle doctor." The Chen family's servants said in unison, even they couldn't help but show respect to these servants, "The old lady is indeed awake, indeed he is awake, please call me quickly."
It’s really amazing!
The maid of the Zhou family was overjoyed. She saw that the maid of the Chen family was very respectful to her, and she felt very happy.
"Sisters, wait a minute, we're going to call you right now." They said immediately, turned around and ran towards the main room. Before they had taken two steps, the door was opened and a figure stood out.
He didn't sleep either, so he was worried about the noise over there, pretending to be calm.
The maid of the Zhou family said in her heart before she stepped forward to salute.
"What are you doing?" The maidservant's low voice of displeasure came first.
"Sister, please tell me, the old lady is awake." The servants said with smiles.
"Wake up when you wake up. Didn't you just take medicine? Don't wake me up." The maidservant shouted in a low voice.
The servants and wives of the Chen family and the Zhou family who were present were all stunned.
"Miss Banqin." A servant girl from the Zhou family stopped laughing and warned with a hint of displeasure, "You don't understand this kind of medical treatment. You'd better go talk to your wife before you make a decision."
The maid sneered and took two steps outside. She didn't forget to close the door and let the noise in.
"I don't understand, do you understand?" she asked in a low voice.
This rude girl!
The maids looked embarrassed. They were all the honorable servants of Mrs. Zhou. How dare you, a maid in front of your niece, be so rude!
"Is this how the Cheng family instigate orders?" a servant girl said with a serious face.
Before he finished speaking, the maid spat on him.
"What are you from the Cheng family and the Zhou family? Go and go. Can't you understand people?" She shouted in a low voice.
The servants and women were shocked and then became ashamed and angry.
"You bitch, you are really rude, please hit me quickly," they shouted.
If it hadn't been for the Chen family, they would have slapped such a rude maid.
The maid stood in the corridor, looking at the four servants. It was getting dark, and the light was getting dimmer, making it difficult for her to describe.
"What are you talking about? Fight me down?" she said, smiling again, "What I'm saying is that such rudeness should be beaten down."
The servants and wives of the Chen family were already dumbfounded.
This, what's going on...
Chen Shao paced around the room hurriedly, looking outside and sighing anxiously.
"Why haven't you come yet? Why haven't you come yet?" he said.
"Here we come." The maid outside the door called.
Everyone was overjoyed and rushed over to greet him, only to see only two servant girls coming in in a hurry, with no one else following behind them.
Chen Shao and others were slightly surprised.
"The maid said that the lady said not to disturb her sleep. When she wakes up, just take medicine. She will come back when she wakes up." The maid said timidly.
Mrs. Chen Shao couldn't help but glance at her husband.
No matter how you say it, it's not how you listen.
Chen Shao was a little startled, this lady...
"There's more." The servant girl stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Chen Shao asked with a frown.
"Because just now, when I went to call my wife, the women of the Zhou family got into trouble with the maid..." The servant girl lowered her head and said, "The maid wants to ask those four women to go back..."
In fact, it was polite to say that we should go back. The maid said to go away.
What?
Chen Shao rolled his sleeves.
When will this happen!
Mrs. Chen Shao comforted him.
"I'm going to take a look." She said, and hurriedly asked the servant to lead the way, and they hurried away.
Chen Shao and others here let out a sigh of relief that they couldn't explain how they felt.
"It's okay, it's okay, let's take the medicine. Let's take the medicine first." Dr. Li said, handing the prescription dictated by Cheng Jiaoniang and written by the maid to the child.
The child hurriedly ran to make medicine.
"Sanlang, Sanlang, is that one, that lady is here?" Old Mrs. Chen stretched out his hand tremblingly on the bed.
Chen Shao hurried over and looked at his old father who was emaciated and no longer human. He said that the man would not shed tears easily, but he was not sad yet.
"Yes, father." He said with tears in his eyes, kneeling down and holding his father's hand. "It's all because of the unfilial piety of the son, because the father is tired of traveling all over the world."
"Third brother, don't say that." A cousin came over and shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you that my uncle has a hidden illness for a long time. If he hadn't followed you on the road, he wouldn't have met the Cheng family's wife on the road. Then at this time
, we are really at our wits’ end.”
The other brothers in the room were busy responding.
"Now is not the time to talk about it. Now there is finally hope. If Mrs. Cheng says it can be cured, that will be fine."
"Where's the medicine? Take the medicine."
Outside the room where Cheng Jiaoniang was resting, the four servants looked embarrassed.
"Madam, you are still here..." they lowered their heads and said.
Mrs. Chen glanced at them and said nothing.
"My master's illness is more important. What's the point of sleeping a little more or a little less?" said a servant girl, "This matter is our housework, and it makes Madam laugh."
"Our wife is young, and this girl is also young. She has not been educated since she was a child, and she is ignorant. Madam makes fun of her." Another hurriedly said.
Mrs. Chen hesitated.
Logically speaking, this is indeed a family matter, but...
In front of her eyes, Mrs. Cheng's expression and words after the Zhou family left last night appeared in her eyes.
In front of the Zhou family, he told the patient that he could not leave because he wanted to see the patient. The people who left the Zhou family immediately said that there was no need to see the patient.
It can be seen from this that this lady is not showing off for the Chen family, but she seems not to want to go to the Zhou family.
Mrs. Chen shook her hands under her sleeves.
"Well, you go back first." She said, "We are asking her to treat her illness. If she becomes unhappy, you are nothing. We always have something wrong. Just treat it as your wife's understanding of my grievances."
Just wait and listen to her."
The four women were stunned.
The morning light pours into the room little by little, and the sky is bright.
Cheng Jiaoniang turned over and stretched out her arms from the brocade quilt.
"Madam, do you want some water?" the maid asked from outside the curtain.
"Yes." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
The maid lifted the curtain and came in, knelt down and handed her a glass of warm water.
Cheng Jiaoniang sat up and took a bite.
"What, choose a table?" she asked.
The maid's face looked haggard and she had obviously not slept.
"I'm not as lucky as my wife. It takes me a day or two to get used to changing places before I can sleep." She laughed.
Cheng Jiaoniang handed her the water glass.
"It's not a blessing." She said, lifting the quilt and getting up, "It's the same to me wherever I am."
I don’t know them all, they are all in strange places.
The maid didn't know how to answer this topic, so she just didn't talk about it if she didn't understand. She helped Cheng Jiaoniang stand up.
Cheng Jiaoniang didn't ask about Mrs. Chen, so the maid naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention it, which only made the maids waiting outside miserable.
"Aren't you up yet?"
"I've already taken the medicine over there, and the master asked me to come and see him again..."
"Don't rush me. The four members of the Zhou family have all been driven away. They are so angry that I can drive you away with just one sentence. What can you do?"
There were whispers and chats outside, but suddenly the door was opened, and there was a sudden silence. (To be continued)
