CHAPTER XXXVIII

"Thank you, Doctor, thank you!"

"Alright, alright!" the healer pouted, administering the needle to the baby, and muttered to himself for a while, "Really! I love it so much, but I don't know why I came to this field......

Sun Yonghang listened to it in his ears, but he was bitter, and he couldn't say half a word.

Sun Yonghang stayed by the bed for three days and three nights, only calling him sick to the outside world, and he didn't go to the court meeting, nor did he deal with official business, but just guarded the unconscious Luo Chuiqi. Later, seeing that he was getting better, he went to the court council, and as soon as he came back, he ran to the Shadow Pavilion. After guarding for more than a month, Du Qian and the doctor also got up to say goodbye after making sure that their mother and son were fine.

In the afternoon of that day, it was already spring, and Du Qian stood under a pear tree, and the petals that were so white that they did not have a single blemish revealed their fragrance. At this time of the year before last, the pear blossoms were also in full bloom, and his apprentices also sat in the sedan chair and went out of the pavilion.

Sun Yonghang sent the doctor out, and he had completely calmed down, and he had a deep pain when facing the people around Luo Chuiqi, and his eyes were always sad, but he was very vague. He bowed down to Du Qian, and couldn't stop kowtowing three times before getting up, "Master, I didn't take care of Chuiqi, so I let you worry about it." ”

Du Qian looked at him very coldly, and suddenly smiled a little sarcastically, "Get up, Sun Shilang! It's Qi'er herself who is not good, who told her that she has no mother's family!" After saying this, he turned around and left with the doctor, without even looking at Sun Yonghang.

The wind passed, and the pear blossoms fell Sun Yonghang was all over his body, he gently picked up a petal and looked at it in a daze.

"Hehe, Qi'er's birthday is always so small, so that my uncle can't be idle for these two months in a row!" "Today's November twenty-seven, after my niece's birthday, I am going to be busy with the New Year, and I just happened to be busy with this year in the court, which always makes him a little nervous. Bian Yuqiu smiled and touched his beard, which had grown to his chest, and sighed a little.

"Qi'er bothered her uncle and aunt. "The seventeen-year-old Luo Chuiqi lowered her head slightly, and her long bangs covered her delicate and delicate face, only to see a gentle and pleasant 'cage sideburns' coiled with green silk coiled by dark clouds and sideburns, wearing a white fox coat, and a circle of snow-white fox fur on the collar, which made her delicate nose tip more pink and transparent.

Mrs. Bian Cheng smiled gently and elegantly and glanced at her husband, "Qi'er is always so caring. ”

Bian Qiuqiu saw the look in his wife's handover, and his smile suddenly became a little reluctant and embarrassed, but when his niece raised her face, she immediately returned to her original state, and even smiled even more, "Hehehe, yes, yes! Qi'er has lived with me since she was ten years old, and she looks so old, seventeen, seventeen." It's the age of leaving the cabinet, and I can't bear it, uncle!"

Luo Chuiqi's head drooped slightly, her eyes gradually spread, and her smile also spread, dissolving into the graceful and clear beauty of this room, her pink face was lightly raised, and she had condensed a touch of red, which made people feel excited, "Uncle is laughing at Qi'er! Qi'er is not married, Qi'er will serve her uncle and aunt for a lifetime, and repay your second elder well...... Qi'er's life is thin, her father and mother died early, and she has relied on her uncle and aunt to eat and wear all these years, Qi'er dares not to be filial to the two of you!"

Bian Qiuqiu hurriedly spoke to reassure, "Oh, Qi'er, why do you mention those things again? I'm your uncle, your mother is blessed, if you don't follow me, who else can you follow? Okay, okay, today is your birthday, don't mention those sad things, ah!"

"Hmm. Luo Chuiqi replied, his tone oozing with choked words.

Mrs. Bian hurriedly glared at her husband, walked over and gently patted her niece's thin and delicate shoulder, "Qi'er, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense! Over the years, your uncle and I have treated you as if you were our own daughter." Of course, you should be filial piety, but I'm afraid of you, who looks like this, who is captivating the country and the city, and teaches your husband, who has been married since childhood, can't wait to see it, and marries him!" She made jokes, half-truths and half-truths.

Luo Chuiqi's hand shrunk in his sleeve gently pinched the edge of his sleeve, laughed, and muttered with a red face, "Uncle!"

"Hehehe, our little Qi'er is shy!"

"Miss, what are you looking for?" Rongyue grew up with Luo Chuiqi since she was a child, and when the old lady was gone, she followed Miss to Bian's Mansion. There are a lot of maids in the house, but the young lady has always been careful and gentle, only intimate with her, and polite to those maids and servants as if she were a hospitality.

Luo Chuiqi took out a few books and a scroll of pictures from an old bag, touched them carefully for a long time, and then put them in the cupboard again. The perfect melon seed face reveals the innocence and fullness of the girl, but at this time, it reveals some indifference and confusion. Xiuyan looked at the candlestick on the table, the firelight swayed, reflecting the hearts of the people, in the fog, only to hear her sigh softly, "We can stay here for a short time, and packing up our things earlier, it will save him from being in a hurry." ”

"Won't you stay long?" Miss Rongyue didn't understand. ”

Luo Chuiqi glanced at her, smiled slowly, pulled her over with one hand, and let her sit on the side, "Hao Rongyue, it's been more than ten years, the two of us have always been together, this time, I will definitely take you with me." "There is only Rongyue left by her side. She has no complaints about her uncle and aunt, they have taken her in for many years, and have been treating her very well, although she has not had any grand birthday, but the food used on weekdays will not be bad, and the most fortunate thing for her is that the Xixi seat that was originally invited has not been broken. Master Du is very good, not only knowledgeable, but also does not treat her as a woman, and she is too young to treat her. He is a great Confucian in the world, and she believes that her life has become much more profound with Du Qian's master.

Master Du reminded her a few days ago that this year, her uncle suddenly held that feast for her to celebrate her seventeenth birthday, or to have a deep meaning, so that she should pay more attention. At the same time, he also vaguely mentioned the Sun family, that is, the husband's family who made a marriage contract when she was born only a few months ago, which is very hot in the court. At this time, she had actually expected something, but her views were not the same as those of her uncle and aunt, the Sun family was so prominent, no matter how prestigious her father was, but after all, people went to tea and cool, and many things would be too different between the presence and absence of people. Of course, it's not that there are no benefits at all, but the most bitter thing will be her - Luo Chuiqi, she is beautiful, but the glory that beauty people get will fade after all, without a solid background, in the Sun family, she is difficult.

"Miss doesn't want to get married?"

Hmm? At Shang Rongyue's concerned eyes, Luo Chuiqi was a little confused, marry, marry, or not, maybe she was the one who didn't speak the most. However, I heard from the master that this Sun Yonghang is outstanding, smart and handsome, and if an ordinary woman has to marry this husband, it will be a lifelong blessing. "How could you not want to? This is a marriage contract made by my father. ”

"Qi'er, you're very inattentive today. Du Qian's indifferent eyes were still focused on the book, and he didn't seem to glance at the apprentice on one side at all.

Luo Chuiqi was slightly startled, came back to her senses, bowed her head and admitted her mistake, "Qi'er knows her mistake." ”

Du Qian put down the book, walked to the side and flicked the brazier, and lifted the pane lightly, the sky had already fallen a few heavy snows, and in the wax moon, even at noon, it was so cold that people pulled their bones. Du Qian only had this one, and the wind immediately came in, making Luo Chuiqi tremble.

"Master, can't you celebrate the New Year here this time?" she tightened the robe on her body, and looked at the faintly blue charcoal basin with misty eyes, the heat wave made everything behind the fire seem to see through the water, wriggling and moving.

Du Qian put down the pane and turned around, "For the teacher, he has a place to go." ”

"But ......" Luo Chuiqi lowered her face, spread her five fingers, and stretched out on the charcoal basin, feeling the heat wave, "or this is the only time and the last time Qi'er has been taught by her master." "Every year in December, the master will leave, I don't know where to go, I don't know what to do, and when we meet again, it is already March. She was afraid that the day she would leave the cabinet might be in the spring.
