On dog days, in the wing room of Luofu West Garden, there was a half-old bookcase by the window, and I don't know how long the bowl of medicinal soup had been on it, and the smell permeated the boudoir, which was covered by the heat and made a little sour.

Luo Baoying coughed a few times, turned sideways, and the sweat-soaked cool clothes stuck to her back, as if she had a layer of skin, and she was uncomfortable. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the two little maids who were supposed to be serving with her were not around, and while she was asleep, she didn't know where to go to be lazy.

According to her previous temper, she had spoken out in the morning, but now she only sighed, stretched out her two little short legs, and slept there in a daze on all fours.

It's no wonder that she doesn't have a mental head, it's really a big psychological gap.

Her predecessor was the proud daughter of the sky, the only daughter of the Yichun Marquis Mansion, the eldest aunt is the queen, and the cousin is the prince.

But God didn't open his eyes, just two months before she got married, she went to the White River to play, the two boats collided, and fell into the water in the chaos and died.

After waking up, she became Luo Baoying, the third girl of the Huzhou prefect's family.

This Luo family, compared to the Yichun Hou Mansion, I don't know how much worse, the ancestors were farming, diligent and diligent for several generations of accumulation, and only then did they save 100 acres of fertile land when they got to the old man Luo, and the next generation came out with a person who could study, which was Luo Baoying and her father Luo Yun. Old man Luo worked hard and cultivated carefully, Luo Yun lived up to his expectations, and at the age of nineteen, he was lifted in the middle of the palace, and won the favor of the emperor in the palace test, and he actually won an example.

came out of the Hanlin Academy, boiled his qualifications, and became the prefect of Huzhou when he was in his thirties.

It stands to reason that he is also Chu Qiao in the cold family, but Luo Baoying's golden branches and jade leaves, where can he look down on such a family background? She only knew that the Luo family couldn't afford to use ice in the summer, and the people didn't have many rules, and they couldn't get anything off with that famous family.

Therefore, she has been very unenergetic in the past few days, of course, this body has also suffered some damage, and the life of the original owner is gone, so she was asked to borrow the corpse to return her soul, but it is too unsatisfactory, so that she feels that there is not much hope for the future.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and I don't know which person came, talking nonsense with the two little girls, knocking melon seeds in their mouths, Luo Baoying faintly heard saying: "...... Mrs. Liu came home today, the gift was very heavy, what a hundred years of ginseng, South China Sea pearls, sure enough, her mother's family is in business, and the family has a lot of money, I think most of the big girls want to marry their Liu family. ”

The eldest girl Luo Baozhang is the eldest daughter of the Luo family, and she is not the same mother, Luo Baoying did not reprimand when she listened, but turned sideways, and eavesdropped on them.

The two little girls didn't believe it, and said with double happiness: "No, our eldest girl is also an official eunuch, so what is the Liu family?" ”

The tone of the person who came to teach: "Let me tell you, the old lady was talking about the price of ice a few days ago, saying that the old man is low, we can't afford to use ice, no matter how hot it is, we can only boil it, and the babbling in my mouth was heard by the old man, and I bought two baskets of ice yesterday to honor her." That happy, face like a flower, playing leaf cards in the afternoon, as soon as the card friends came, they saw the ice and boasted, the old lady was too happy, and if you have money, you can buy ice! ”

Luo Baoying heard it, it must be the maid ring next to the old lady who came to chatter, otherwise she wouldn't know so clearly, she thought to herself that this mouth is really big.

Shuangxi said very happily: "That big girl marries the Liu family, can we also use ice here?" ”

Another girl, Lan Ling, said: "Then there is ice, can our girl have it?" was almost killed by Aunt Jin, when he was a serious master, knowing that the girl was going to drink medicine, and went to the kitchen to make trouble, the eldest girl actually said that it was the kitchen's fault, and she came to see the girl in a fake way, didn't she leave for a while? It's a pity that our girl is stupidly sick and hasn't opened her mouth for the past few days. She sighed, "The old lady still has the heart to play the leaf card!" ”

Hearing this, someone laughed, this is to blame the third girl for not likable on weekdays, and she has been in her grandfather's house for a long time, and she has no feelings for the old lady, and she can still cry for her day and night?

"When the third girl has a clear mind, hurry up and take it to the old lady to say goodbye." She said, "Don't you see the second girl going to work? If you want me to say ......"

The three of them were lively, but they heard a loud shout in the distance: "What are you doing?" One by one, they don't serve their masters well, and they still sit in the cold? Cuilin, you're not in the old lady with the front end of the tea, what are you doing here? ”

Cui Lin shrank her head when she was scolded, and called Aunt Zhou, saying that she was passing by to come in to see the third girl.

Aunt Zhou didn't know that she was making excuses, but she had something to do today, so she didn't bother to talk to her, so she walked straight inside. The two little girls were caught upright, and they followed behind.

Passing through a small hall and a boudoir, Aunt Zhou looked towards the beech shelf bed, and saw a small body curled up on the grass-colored mat, soaking wet. She was startled, where is this sweating, it is simply fished out of the water, and at the moment she scolded the two little girls again, and called the two mothers-in-law, and actually hugged Luo Baoying out.

Lying in that thick embrace, she smelled a strange smell at the tip of her nose, and she couldn't tell what it was, like a fox smell, and like a sweat smell, only to feel a burst of river and sea in her chest, and she couldn't help but vomit.

Aunt Zhou hurriedly asked Yahuan to bring water to rinse her mouth, and instructed her subordinates to ask for a doctor, but she didn't delay taking her away, and changed her mother-in-law. The woman had long legs, and she hurried out, and made her dizzy again.

Fortunately, it was not far away, Luo Baoying was placed on an Arhat bed, only to feel that the breeze from the east window was drifting, it was much cooler than her room, and the tip of her nose smelled a light fragrance, like jasmine, she slowly exhaled a breath, secretly thinking that this is the life of a person.

Feeling more comfortable, she felt even more tired, she turned to her side, put one hand on the stone blue vase pillow and fell asleep.

Aunt Zhou didn't expect her to say that she would sleep and want to wake up, Mrs. Luo Yuan waved her hand to stop her, and her eyes fell on Luo Baoying's face, the nine-year-old girl was not tall, but her facial features were slightly long, her curved eyebrows, her lips were like water chestnuts, and her eyes had never opened, but her eyelashes were long and covered her eyelids, and she actually fell a crescent-like shadow.

She couldn't help but remember that she had seen Luo Baoying's biological mother in the study, the portrait of the Wang family, it was really a national beauty, no wonder Luo Yun married her as a role model back then, after all, she was not a girl from a big family, and he must have had a better choice.

Only a woman has good looks, no means, and probably no good results, but isn't Xiangxiaoyu dead?

Yuan Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped Luo Baoying's forehead, sighed, and said, "Poor child, I should have taken her over in the morning." Then he got up and walked to the hall.

Aunt Zhou whispered: "Those two girls are out of tune, they didn't stay by the third girl's bed on such a hot day, which made the third girl dizzy, and they all vomited just now." Fortunately, the lady was worried about the three girls and asked the slave maid to take a look, otherwise she would be offended! ”

Yuan is Luo Yun's stepfamily, has been in the Luo family for eight years, only with Luo Baoying is not familiar, because of the death of Wang, Mrs. Wang was heartbroken, Wang interceded with Luo Yuanzhao, hugged Luo Baoying to appease Mrs. Wang. Luo Baoying can be said to have grown up in her maternal grandparents' house, and she was only taken home a while ago, after all, she is getting older, and her daughter's family has to be well educated, and the Wang family is not an official family, and the conditions are not as good as the Luo family.

However, Luo Baoying was spoiled in the Wang family, and she missed the second elder, so she was a little willful and unfriendly, which of course made the old lady dislike.

Aunt Zhou said again: "The slave maid went to the third girl, and when she saw Cuilin, she was not sensible, she wandered around, and she talked nonsense when she caught anyone. Now the master is still in Huzhou, and he will go to Kyoto in the future to interact with those noble families, can he still get it? Don't you have to be laughed out of your big teeth? ”

The more he lacks something, the more he is afraid of something, although Luo Yun's career is smooth, and he is the proud protégé of Lord Jiang, an important minister of the court, but the Luo family has a weak foundation, and it is really difficult to squeeze into the upper noble circle. However, the second time he married a wife, he did not make the previous mistakes, this Yuan family has some family background, the ancestral home of Jinling, four or five generations up to the number of people have entered the court as officials, now Master Yuan is appointed as the patrol of Shanxi, and her eldest brother is the head of the military department in Kyoto, which is also a prosperous scene.

Only the Yuan family is a concubine in the family, and the status is not high, but because of this, Luo Yun has been the successor of Luo Yun, and now Luo Yun is rising step by step, and the Yuan family is also extremely satisfied.

Yuan Shi pondered for a moment and said: "There are not enough slaves and maids in the family, so Bao Ying came, and the people around me were all transferred by the old lady, so I will use them first, and I will take the time to talk to the old lady." ”

The doctor invited from the hospital soon arrived at home, and Yuan woke up Luo Baoying, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a woman in her twenties, wearing a smoke-colored gown, her hair was pulled into a bun, and her facial features were delicate and middle-class. I couldn't help muttering in my heart, secretly thinking that I had come to my mother's room, no wonder it was much more comfortable than her, but I don't know why I came to hold her?

The two looked at each other, as a junior, she should have called someone, but she didn't want to, such a stranger, who couldn't fight with her, was now her mother! But people had to bow their heads under the eaves, Luo Baoying knew in her heart that she was no longer the proud girl in Kyoto, and she could not turn over with someone else's skin? It's better to be polite to the elders, and life is better.

The thought flashed, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and she called out to her mother.

The voice was like a bean paste cake that had just been eaten, born with a sweet taste, and the aftertaste was long, Yuan was slightly surprised, because this Luo Baoying never wanted to call her, not to mention smiling at her, she unconsciously softened her voice: "You vomited just now, let the doctor take a look again." ”

Luo Baoying nodded obediently.

The pulse is stable, there is no disorder, and the five senses of the view are not very sick, the doctor said: "From Cangzhou, the water and soil are not adapted, and I take the wrong medicine, it is appropriate to spit it out, and I can be cured after a few days of rest." ”

When Yuan heard that he was not seriously ill, he pulled his sleeve with his right hand, raised his eyebrows, and said: "She is young, she almost lost her life before, and she has never eaten, can she get better in just a few days?" Did the doctor really take a closer look? ”

The doctor is also a human spirit, and he hurriedly said: "So, the third girl is really fateful, she should recuperate and recuperate, don't be negligent for a while, it is the time to grow the body, in case there is an injury, it is not a trivial matter!" ”

Yuan rewarded him with silver, let Aunt Zhou send him away, and when he turned around, he saw Luo Baoying in a cool coat soaked in sweat and wrinkled, and said gently: "You take a bath here to rest for a while, if you are hungry, call for dim sum to eat." ”

It's cool here, the wing room is beautifully furnished, and there is a ring fanning the wind next to it, how could Luo Baoying not agree, she was served well by her subordinates, ate and drank enough, closed her eyes and went to see Zhou Gong again.

I don't know how long it took, but I vaguely heard who Yuan was talking to: "...... Fortunately, I asked Yu Niang to take a look, otherwise the child would not have survived, and the doctor also said that Yan zhòng, he should have taken good care of himself when he was sick, but he also took the wrong medicine. She was ashamed and said, "It's all because the concubine didn't take care of the kitchen, and the three girls suffered and were sick for so many days." Now that she has taken it, the concubine thinks that she will live here, and it is a big deal to let Zhuzhu squeeze her. ”

There was a half-silence, and a deep voice said: "Mother doesn't care about things, you take care of the top and bottom, there are always times of negligence, no wonder, just do what you just said." ”

The sound grew closer, and someone walked into the inner room from behind the screen, gradually basking in the sunlight.

I saw that he was long, his eyebrows were straight, and he was full of the majesty of an official, but he was elegant in his gestures. I don't know if it's because of the blood connection, there is a bit of intimacy inexplicably, Luo Baoying raised her head to look at him, and called her father timidly.
