Chapter 11 – Mother Jiang Is Seriously Ill
Chapter 11 Mother Jiang is seriously ill
Qin Huaisu has been away for a long time, and the sky has turned pale.
In the yard under the attic, there is an early-rising woman cleaning the fallen leaves on the ground.
Jiang Changning sat on the bed with his knees hugged, the words Qin Huaisu said before he left echoed in his ears.
He was standing by the window, and the dancing candlelight made his face flicker.
Because the candy was wrapped in his mouth, one cheek bulged slightly.
Jiang Changning looked up at him.
Qin Huaisu looked at the little girl in front of him, her skin was very fair, and her big eyes looked extremely innocent.
Qin Huaisu brushed the candy with the tip of his tongue, and he hadn’t eaten sweet-scented osmanthus candy for a long time.
“Jiang Changning.”
“what?”
“You really haven’t made any progress.”
What’s the meaning? Jiang Changning glared. But Qin Huaisu didn’t give her a chance to ask, and jumped out of the window lightly.
The night wind blew up his sleeves. Knowing that his martial arts were strong, Jiang Changning couldn’t help getting up and rushing to the window. Looking down, the ripples on the water surface were swaying layer by layer, and Qin Huaisu’s shadow could not be seen anywhere.
Qin Huaisu’s words made Jiang Changning puzzled, what does it mean not to make any progress? Did he ever see himself?
But in her memory, there is obviously no intersection with Qin Huaisu.
Jiang Changning struggled for a while, but he couldn’t think of it and simply stopped thinking about it.
Hong Xing gently pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Jiang Changning sitting on the bed, she said “Hey” in surprise: “Why didn’t the girl ask the slave to come in and serve her when she woke up?”
“I also just woke up not long ago.”
Jiang Changning said so, Hong Xing couldn’t say anything more. He neatly pulled up the gauze curtain, and helped Jiang Changning get out of bed to wash.
When a ray of morning light hung on the treetops in the yard, breakfast was delivered from the small kitchen.
A cage of fresh meat buns, the thin skin is wrapped with fresh and tender soup, almost flowing out.
Refreshing and refreshing lotus seed porridge, with a thick layer of rice oil boiled on it.
Add a plate of fried shrimp and vegetable cakes with golden yellow and soft fragrance on both sides. A small dish of fresh, delicious and colorful assorted vegetarian dishes.
The master chefs also thoughtfully sent two small dishes of sauce to eat with buns and cakes. Both sweet and spicy.
There is a half-full table lined up.
Jiang Changning was indeed hungry. She ate more than half a bowl of porridge in one go, and ate two more pancakes before she felt her stomach warm.
“Remove the table, everything on it is good. Some haven’t been touched much, let’s take it down and share it.”
“Yes, girl.” Hong Xing asked the little maids to come in and clean up the table, and then shared the breakfast. The little maids all had smiles on their eyebrows.
Although the Hou Mansion has not treated the servants badly in terms of food, it is far different from what the masters eat.
There are also people who share meals with servants, but this is very rare. Masters generally prefer to throw away good things that are intact, rather than rewarding servants to lower their status.
The eldest girl is kind-hearted, and she can meet several times a month.
Here, Jiang Changning had just rinsed his mouth with fragrant soup, when the big girl next to Jiang’s mother entered the yard anxiously.
As soon as she entered the door, she saluted directly and said, “Miss, madam is ill.”
When Jiang Changning rushed to Mother Jiang’s yard, the old doctor with a gray beard was taking the pulse of the unconscious Mother Jiang.
Jiang Changbai sat on the side anxiously, looking in the direction of Jiang’s mother.
Mother Jiang was lying on the bed, her face haggard, and her lips were already burned, chapped and peeled.
The people serving in the house acted lightly, lest they offend the master.
Jiang Changning stood behind Jiang Changbai without speaking, quietly waiting for the old doctor’s diagnosis and treatment.
She remembered that Jiang’s mother was bedridden due to illness in the previous life.
At that time, when she proposed to stay by Mother Jiang’s side to take care of her, Jiang Luo stopped her.
Jiang Luo said that as Mother Jiang’s daughter, she should naturally be filial, and she also wanted to get closer to Mother Jiang to make up for the lack of mother-daughter love in the past ten years.
Jiang Changning already felt ashamed of Jiang Luo, Jiang Luo said so, so naturally it is not easy to bring up the matter of sickness.
Although this is the case, I have to visit several times a day.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but when I go, I always bump into Jiang Luo’s people guarding the door.
When inquiring, the man said with a half-smile: “Young lady, please go back, Madam is asleep and won’t see any guests.”
Jiang Changning has a sensitive mind, so he will naturally understand it after a lot of times.
This is because Jiang Luo didn’t want her to see Mother Jiang.
In fact, I can understand it when I think about it. I have recognized my long-lost mother, and I am naturally wary of this sister who has occupied my position.
Jiang Changning seldom went there after that, and sometimes met Jiang Changbai who was returning home and could say a few words in a neutral manner.
During that time, Jiang Changning almost became a little transparent.
After Jiang’s mother got well, Jiang Luo’s beautiful talk about taking care of Jiang’s mother who was ill at the bedside was like the wind blowing through every corner of Hou’s mansion.
Jiang Luo has been recognized and loved by everyone.
And what about Jiang Changning? Then he became a ruthless, ungrateful and unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.
The servants of the Hou’s mansion ordered the dishes, and Mother Jiang and Jiang Changbai were also very dissatisfied with her. Only Jiang Luo comforted her softly when she was frustrated. This gave Jiang Changning a little warmth and comfort in his heart that was worried about gains and losses.
Not long after this, Gu Xiujing came to withdraw from the marriage…
Jiang Changning came back to his senses, the old doctor finished his pulse.
It is said that Jiang’s mother was too worried, and she suffered from the wind and cold, which caused the evil spirit to enter the body and cause a high fever.
He picked up a pen and wrote down the prescription, and asked the boy to go back to get the medicine. After frying it for a few days, he would be fine.
Jiang Changbai kept sending the old doctor outside the gate of the mansion, and when he returned to the house, he saw Jiang Changning rolled up his sleeves and was wiping Mother Jiang’s face with a wet handkerchief, his eyes softened for a moment.
Jiang Changning also noticed Jiang Changbai, seeing that he was still wearing an official uniform, he knew that he had rushed back from the government office in a hurry.
“Brother, go if you have something to do, as long as mother has me here.”
Jiang Changbai responded in a low voice, but he was not polite. There are still a lot of things to do in the yamen, he really left his colleagues and hurried back.
“If you have anything to do, just ask the people in the house to do it, don’t tire yourself too much.”
Jiang Changning smiled gently: “Understood, brother.”
Jiang Changbai thought for a while, and then called the waiter in Jiang Luo’s room. From going to invite the doctor to sending the doctor out at the end of the consultation, Jiang Luo never showed up.
This made Jiang Changbai feel disappointed and dissatisfied.
After asking the maid, I found out that Jiang Luo left the house early in the morning and hasn’t come back yet. No one else is allowed to follow, and naturally no one will know where he went.
The little maid was trembling, and Jiang Changbai’s face was ugly. He endured it and did not attack in public.
“If the second girl comes back, let her come and take care of the old lady with the eldest girl.”
“Yes, Eldest Young Master.” Having received the order, the little maid hastily withdrew.
As for whether he will complain about Jiang Luo with a good sister who works in the courtyard afterwards, that is another story.
Jiang Changbai explained everything and was ready to lead the horse out of the house. Before leaving, Jiang Changning wiped the water stains on his hands with a clean handkerchief. She seemed unintentional and said: “Mother is inconvenient now, isn’t it inappropriate for the second sister to live in the same yard with mother?”
