Volume 1 Chapter 167: Sudden and Frightening Wind

  Chapter 167: Sudden Gust of Wind

  It's already the sixth of July, and Old Lady Wang's birthday is tomorrow. As it's a big birthday and also the Double Seventh Festival, all the gates in the three gardens of the Wang Manor are open, with lanterns and streamers everywhere, and flowers arranged in intricate patterns. Apart from the opera performers raised by the manor itself, they've also invited the most famous opera troupe from the capital to join in the celebration. The main house has hired a troupe of acrobats and comedians, while it's said that the third house will invite a group of singing and dancing girls from the Worry-Free Pavilion on the second day, which has left many people eagerly anticipating. On normal days, the rules are very strict, but during these three days, the servants are allowed to relax and have fun with their masters.

  There are many recreational activities, and the three gardens can't be visited in one day. However, the newly appointed Madame Yong San arranged everything well, posting a program at each gate listing the contents, time, and location of the activities, making it clear at a glance. It's said that this time, all the birthday celebrations in Jingfang Garden were handled by Madame Yong San herself, and even the meticulous Old Princess Wang couldn't find any fault with them. From then on, Madame Yong San's reputation became well-known.

  Xiao San had gone early to pay his respects to his grandmother, and this capable old woman was once again praised.

  Since Zou San Niang entered the house, Xiao San was often praised. The first time I didn't feel it, the second time oh oh oh, the third time there was a proud "half of the military medal is yours and half is mine".

  But that day, he still had a grudge in his heart and said, "This kind of thing, as long as it's a virtuous wife, can be done well. Grandma, don't always praise her. If you praise her again, she..."

  The princess also came to have dinner with her mother-in-law today. Upon hearing what the little son said, she frowned and asked "What about her?"

  Xiao San also knew that he couldn't speak ill of his daughter-in-law in front of his mother and grandmother, so he quickly changed his words: "She's still young, it's too much praise, she can't bear the great blessings given to her by her elders."

  Old Wang's wife laughed with tears in her eyes, "Go away, you're talking nonsense. San Niang looks like a lucky person, how can't she bear it? Don't be sour grapes just because you can't have them, look at us, we care for her more than we do for you."

  Xiao San thought, it's not that he can't eat well and then say sour. The more he gets along with San Niang, the more he feels she is different from others. Playing chess, playing the zither, writing chapters and painting ink, and loving to read miscellaneous books, even his close friends don't have this kind of rapport. To say that she's a perfect person, it's not either. When it comes to romantic feelings, the woman's temper, and her way of speaking, can really make him dizzy. No matter how he hints, shows off in front, back, left, right, and all around, she just doesn't react. And once she sees his golden silk, she avoids him as if she fears not being able to escape.

  Alright, he admitted that in the past, he had no interest in his two previous wives. He would turn a blind eye to their affairs and just coldly observe them. But this third wife, it's hard to say whether she was smart or if he failed. Not only did she not want to cause any trouble, but whenever something happened, she would push him towards Jin Si, almost as if saying that being a concubine wasn't easy.

  Xiao San was spoiled by women and when he met Qiu San, he became a bit lost.

  The three generations of grandmother, mother and daughter were eating when a maid suddenly rushed in and said, "Something's wrong! Something's wrong!"

  A wealthy family avoids talking about bad things on good days, an old woman with seniority beside her suddenly said, "It's a great day, nothing is bad, everything is fine."

  Yahou quickly nodded and bowed her head, "Yes, yes. San Nainai didn't feel well this morning, someone has already been sent to invite the doctor, I came especially to tell Old Madame and Niangniang."

  Xiao San sprang up as soon as he heard, knocking over the chair, and asked urgently, "What's wrong with her? Is it serious? She just arrived a few days ago, does she know which doctor to call? Don't invite some incompetent doctor who doesn't know the situation."

  The old queen and the queen exchanged a glance, San Niang's illness was indeed a good thing, it had gotten into Xiao Sanlang's heart.

  The girl was just here to deliver a message, how could she answer Xiao San's question, her mouth agape, unable to speak.

  Xiao San lifted his foot and left, "Grandma, mother, I'll take a look."

  The old queen called out to him, "Let's go together, you're not a doctor, and rushing won't help."

  "I'll go ahead quickly, you all come slowly." Xiao Sanke couldn't wait, and as he spoke, he lifted the curtain and was already outside.

  The princess was worried, "Isn't Third Sister tired from illness? Yesterday she was still chatting and laughing with me, how come today she's not feeling well?"

  The old queen consort was not worried, "Think about it, being uncomfortable doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing, maybe it's even a great joy."

  The princess immediately understood her mother-in-law's meaning, and exclaimed, "I'm really muddled, I didn't think about that. To say, it's indeed possible."

  The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked, followed by a group of servant girls, the procession grandly making its way to the Mingzhi Courtyard.

  Xiao San entered the house and saw Mozi adjusting the door curtain, so he hastily asked, "How's your grandmother? What's wrong with her? Is she seriously ill? Has the doctor arrived?" After asking a string of questions, he was about to head into the inner room.

  "Uncle, grandma is lying down with a fever all over her body and can't get out of bed after waking up. I've already sent Xiaoyu to invite the doctor from Nuanchuntang." After answering Xiao San's questions, she added, "Grandma ordered that no one is allowed in."

  Xiao San was taken aback for a moment, then immediately pulled down his face, "Why don't you let me in? Are you still playing temper with me at this time?"

  "Uncle, grandma said no one is allowed in, it's not that uncle isn't allowed in." Listen carefully.

  Xiao San asked another why.

  "Grandma's illness doesn't look good, and she's also afraid of infecting others. Except for us few girls, she refuses to see anyone else. We'll have to wait until the doctor arrives before we can do anything." Mozi ushered Xiao San out of the house, "Brother-in-law, why don't you go sit in the side room instead? If you also get sick, how will we explain it to Old Lady and Madame?"

  Xiao San said, not going, for the first time towards Mo Zi, he swung his sleeve and showed an angry face, "I'm also someone you can't order around, I've eaten leopard gallbladder, I want to go in and take a look, whoever dares to stop me, just wait for a slap on the ear."

  "Xiao Yong, I told you, what's with the attitude towards my maid?" The voice of Qiu San Niang came out, weak and somewhat indignant. "If you must come in, then..." panting heavily.

  Xiao San heard Qiu San Niang speak up, and he only cared about her illness, so he didn't dare to raise his voice. He spoke softly and politely, leaning against the door curtain, saying, "Don't be angry, I was just talking nonsense, how could I hit someone? If you don't come in, then don't come in, but I won't go to the side room either, I'll just sit here, is that okay?"

  No response is also a response.

  Xiao San pulled over a chair and sat down outside the curtain, asking Mo Zi, "Who is attending to Madame inside?"

  "Bai He and Xiao Yi are here." Mozi lowered his eyebrows and poured a cup of tea for Xiao San.

  Xiao San waved his hand and said no, but after a while, he couldn't sit still. "Didn't we ask the doctor to come? Did we go up to Tian Mountain to invite him? He's not here yet."

  Lu Jing just walked in and heard this sentence, almost laughing out loud.

  She glared at him with her dark purple eyes, and he finally held back, answering seriously, "Young Master, the Wang Estate is so big, it's probably just past the main gate now."

  "How did he get sick? He was fine just yesterday!" His absence doesn't mean he's not concerned.

  Mozi didn't say a word, and Lüju also didn't say a word, they exchanged a glance.

  Xiao San started to get suspicious, suddenly thinking that it wasn't going to happen again, but this time it was the other side that made the first move. He immediately furrowed his brow, and his tone turned bad, "You guys usually follow Grandma around every day, have you grown eyes in the back of your head?"

  Her dark purple eyebrows didn't move, staring at the teacup in her hand, she said, "Some things can't be seen with the eyes." She retorted.

  Xiao San was late again.

  The maids outside reported in layers that the old lady and Princess Wang had arrived.

  Qiu Sanniang was inside letting Mozi persuade the elders to return, and wait for the doctor to take a look before saying anything.

  Xiao San immediately stopped Mo Zi and said he would go to persuade, then went out to see his grandmother and mother. He only said that it might be a cold and couldn't be disturbed. However, he couldn't persuade them to leave, so the two of them waited for the doctor in the side room. Of course, they also pulled Xiao San along with them.

  Mozhu let Green Chrysanthemum watch the movement, went to the inner room, and saw Qi San Niang with a red rash leaning against the soft cushion eating snacks. "Grandma, aren't you afraid that Young Master will barge in?"

  Qiao San Niang pointed at Xiao Yi, "If he dares to come in, I'll let Xiao Yi knock him unconscious."

  It's probably only when it comes to Xiao San that Qiu San Niang has the lovely temperament of a mother. Mo Zi also noticed this and sometimes reminded Xiao San during class.

  Bai He took a leather water bag and put it in Zhu San Niang's hand, then applied it to her forehead.

  Still, it's Mozi's idea, filling it with hot water and pretending to have a fever.

  After a while, the doctor will arrive soon. Mei Zi let Qiu San Niang get out of bed and jump rope 100 times to confuse the doctor's vision.

  Green Chrysanthemum shouted outside, "The doctor has arrived."

  Mozi and Baihe hastily put down the brocade curtain, letting Xiaoyi hide under the bed. When necessary, they pinched the acupuncture points to make her pulse chaotic before inviting the doctor in.

  The doctor at Nuanchuntang was quite famous, but no matter how famous he was, when he encountered a master like Mozi, he couldn't find any flaws. One moment he thought the pulse was chaotic, the next moment he thought it was strong, and then suddenly it became weak again. Looking at the red spots on his wrist, and Mozi kept talking about windstroke and cold sweat, he was completely confused, and finally agreed with Mozi's statement.

  She went out and told Xiao San and Wang Fei that she had caught a sudden cold due to the wind, which came on very strongly, and needed some quiet time.

  Avoiding infection of others, but not fatal, and requiring a quiet place for recuperation is the treatment method.

  The old queen and the queen thought it was Qiū Sān Niáng who had become pregnant, but unexpectedly it was such a severe illness. They couldn't help but feel heartache and worry. They hoped Qiū Sān Niáng would be safe and sound, but were also afraid of mentioning it to avoid hurting her feelings.

  Xiao San firmly disagreed with avoiding Jing, saying that sealing off the Yonggu Zhai would be enough.

  Bai He came out, bowed to the old lady and the princess, and conveyed the meaning of Qiu San Niang: "The grandmother said that she cannot implicate the people in the mansion anymore, and is willing to go out to avoid trouble. She will use her own house, which has a large garden, suitable for recuperation. If the old lady and the princess are not at ease, they can send someone back to the mansion every day to report peace."

  The old queen ignored Xiao San's opposition and agreed, only instructing him to come back every day to report.

  The princess was in tears, repeatedly reminding Bai He to be careful and take good care of herself.

  After a lively commotion, using both soft and hard tactics, they dragged away an unwilling Xiao San.

  On that day, Qiu San Niang took six maids and packed simple belongings, leaving the mansion.

  Fortunately or unfortunately, they thought Qiu San Niang would never come back again.

  But with an unpredictable mind, thinking that his plan had worked, at the moment when Xiao San was about to move Jiang's heart, he separated the two, and everything would return to its original state.

  But little did they know, whether he comes back or not, it's something that can be laughed off for both Mo and Qiu.

  Today is the second update, also the additional update for December 180 fans.

  I still owe 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390, 420 December powder plus more, please everyone supervise together.

  It's obvious in January, no need for me to say it, everyone can see it.

  There will be two updates if I have a notice; otherwise, there will only be one update, doing my best.

  Thank you, everyone!
