Chapter 350 Visiting the sick
Mommy Qiu had heard that Nanny Bao was coming, but doing errands for the master is doing errands for the master, and she would not be so blind to approach the master just to see her sisters.
After Mother Qiu came in to salute Xie Zhiwei, Xie Zhiwei said, "Mommy, pay twenty taels of silver to my account, and send it to the kitchen, and prepare a table of medium-sized noodles. At noon, Mommy will invite some to be free." Nanny Bao, have a meal with Nanny Bao before leaving."
"Hey, girl, twenty taels of silver, that's a lot of money, besides, how can I take the girl's table when the servant is here?" Bao Nanny hurriedly knelt down.
Xie Zhiwei helped Mammy Bao himself, "Mommy, don't say such things, when I was five years old, I almost lost my high fever. It was Mammy and Nanny Qiu who held me in their arms day and night, and I was completely safe. It’s my life, I will remember it!”
"That's the duty of the slaves, and it's also the girl's life. What do you still remember? From now on, the girl is a lucky person!"
Before Xie Zhiwei had breakfast, Nanny Qiu led Nanny Bao to go. The two sisters hadn't seen each other for many years, so naturally they had a lot to say.
After Xie Zhiwei had dinner, he came to see the gifts from the Cui family. As Yuqing said, they filled two rooms.
The morning sun in spring slanted in from the east window, and sprinkled warmly on the silk and satin all over the room. The opened jewelry box shone brightly in the sun, and it also dyed the box of pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Added a warm color.
These were all carefully selected and transported all the way without any damage.
Rouge gouache is also carefully made by the Cui family according to the ancestral formula, which cannot be bought in the gouache shops outside.
The medicinal materials are also some uncommon or expensive medicinal materials, such as 100-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, 500-year-old ginseng, gastrodia elata from Wumeng Prefecture, swiftlet's nest, cordyceps sinensis and donkey-hide gelatin. , It was like packing several boxes without money.
In the previous life, every time the Cui family sent gifts, Chunhui Hall would take them away in an instant. Xie Zhiwei seldom cared about the money, but he didn't think that it was all the thoughts of his grandfather's family. Even if he took it out for charity, it would be better than being taken away by the Feng family.
Later, Xie Zhiwei cut off contact with the Cui family as his grandfather passed away one after another.
But after Xie Zhiwei was abolished, she was imprisoned in the cold palace, and several uncles ran around for her. Later, she was implicated by Xie's family, and Xie's family fell into disaster.
Zi Mo came over with a box in her arms, "Girl, there are a total of 30,000 taels of silver bills here, do you want to pay separately?"
Xie Zhiwei doubled it with Zi Mo's hand, "You don't need to enter the account separately, it's the same as the previous income, just make a note later. Grandfather's family sends these over every year, do you still expect me to return gifts in the future? If I go back, they might be very sad."
Zi Mo smiled and said, "That's it. The old lady has always loved the girl, and every time she writes, she always tells the girl to eat well, sleep well, and take care of herself. I don't know when the old lady will come to the capital!"
Speaking of Mrs. Cui, Xie Zhiwei thought of the two years in Cui’s family. Her grandmother loved her, and her uncles and aunts treated her like her own. Needless to say, her brothers and sisters got along very well and lived happily every day.
If it is possible, she really wants to go to Boling again, have fun at the knees of her grandmother, and live a happy life for a few more years. But now, she can't go away for a moment. If she can't solve some problems in this life, she may repeat the mistakes of her previous life. If so, what's the point of her living again?
Just after the hour, someone from the Yuan family came again, saying that the girl from the Cui family had sent someone over and wanted to talk to Xie Zhiwei.
Xie Zhiwei happened to be going to see his mother, so he got up and went over. It was Xue Jian who came, and after greeting Xie Zhiwei, Xue Jian said, "Young lady sent a message to Princess Taiping's blessing early this morning, and she said that her eldest aunt was seriously ill, and she was very worried. The girl is free, I want to go and have a look today."
Yuan Shi was puzzled by this, and looked at Xie Zhiwei in a daze.
Xie Zhiwei hurriedly said, "Mother, the eldest sister of Cui's Xilou married the second son of Princess Taiping's mansion three years ago. She got sick last summer and couldn't afford it. The second brother, third sister and sixth sister are now Now that I’m here, I naturally want to visit, my daughter didn’t know about it before, so let’s forget it, now that I know, I don’t have to pay a visit.”
"Amitabha, you are young, Mei Mei, why don't you go and have a look today. Parents in this world are most afraid of hearing such things."
Xie Zhiwei said to Xue Jian, "Go back and tell Third Sister that I will go over here after cleaning up. I will let the carriage wait on the temple bridge. When the second brothers arrive, we will go over together."
Xue Jian quickly responded and went back.
Xie Zhiwei couldn't go to the Taichang Princess's mansion empty-handed, so Yuan Shi hurriedly drew up the gift list and asked someone to prepare the gift. Xie Zhiwei went back to Yizhao Courtyard to tidy up, changed her clothes, and told Xuantao to stay, and when Mammy Bao left, she would give her the best reward, and she took Zimo and Du Yuan out.
The Ministry of Rituals sent Xie Zhiwei's Zhulun car over yesterday, which is naturally much more luxurious than the car the county lord is riding in, and the tiger skin has also been replaced on the car, so that sitting in this car is more comfortable than before few.
It was Uncle Zhu who drove the car. When they arrived at Siqiao, the three brothers and sisters of the Cui family had already arrived. Cui Tingzhan sat on the horse and escorted the sisters to the mansion of Princess Taiping.
When they arrived at the Dachang Princess Mansion, Cui Nanwan's close maid, Xin Yi, was already waiting at the door, with a sad face on her face. When she saw the Cui family brothers and sisters coming, she managed to force a smile. Before she could salute, she shed tears, "Two Grandma has been waiting for a long time!"
"It would have come a long time ago, if it wasn't for this epidemic, it would have come earlier!" Cui Nanjia was still not in a good mood, but she was still in good spirits, and asked, "How is the big sister?"
Xin Yi shook his head and stopped talking.
Under her leadership, a group of people entered the West Corner Gate, and walked northward from the west side of the Dachang Princess Mansion for about a cup of tea time before arriving at a small courtyard, where Cui Nanwan lived in the Dachang Princess Mansion .
Cui Nanwan was sick in the inner room, Cui Tingzhan couldn't enter the inner room, so he stayed in the open room to drink tea, Xie Zhiwei followed the two Cui family sisters in, bypassed a standing screen, and saw Cui Nanwan lying on the Babu bed, almost unrecognizable People are coming.
In the old days, Cui Nanwan was also a bright and plump girl. Xie Zhiwei still remembers that she was always worried that she was plumper than her sisters, but because of this, her appearance also appeared rich and her bearing was especially good.
