Chapter 147: Sick Little Ancestor
In the next two days, Liu Ruoxi was recuperating in the Hou Mansion, although Yin Wujian's sword avoided the heart vein, but the woman's body was weaker after all, and this time she lost so much blood, so she needed to be careful to recuperate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For this reason, Ning Chen specially invited the shopkeeper of Du'an Pharmacy over.
The shopkeeper is the descendant of the eldest grandson, and he can definitely be trusted, and the relationship between Ning Chen and the shopkeeper is quite good, at least Ning Chen himself thinks so.
"Master Ning Xiaohou, the medicine money this time is three hundred and fifty taels, plus the seven hundred and thirty taels you owed last time, a total of one thousand and eighty taels, when are you going to pay it back" The shopkeeper is not salty or light~ Debt Dao.
"Ahem" Ning Chen almost choked on his own tea, how could he owe so much.
"Shopkeeper, you drink tea" Ning Chen hurriedly poured a cup of tea and brought it over.
The shopkeeper was not polite, took the tea and drank it dry, and continued, "Pay it back."
"Ahem, it hurts a lot to raise money, I'll ask someone to prepare dinner, eat here tonight" After speaking, Ning Chen ran away, and there was no shadow as soon as he slipped away.
On the bed, Liu Ruoxi was dumbfounded, it was the first time she had seen such a side of Zhifanghou, which was too different from her previous ruthless appearance.
The shopkeeper said while packing up the medicine box, "Miss Liu, don't believe the rumors outside, and don't be fooled by superficial things, your Hou Ye is a trustworthy person, of course, the premise is that you have his approval."
After the words fell, the shopkeeper lifted the medicine box, turned around and walked outside, "Tell Ning Chen, just say that I am leaving, I remember the account, let him pay it back quickly, the dignified Xia Wuhou, this bit of silver can't be taken out, it's not a shame."
After speaking, the shopkeeper left in style, leaving Liu Ruoxi alone in the room.
Half an hour later, a delicate-looking maid came with the boiled medicine, carefully picked up Liu Ruoxi, and served her to drink the medicine.
"Thank you," Liu Ruoxi thanked softly.
"You're welcome, it was Master Hou who called me over," the maid smiled lightly and replied.
Liu Ruoxi was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "What kind of person is Zhiming Hou?"
The maid blew the medicine in the spoon, sent it to the former's mouth, and said softly, "Hou Ye is a good person, you will understand after a long time, when I was sent here by the queen mother at the beginning, I was also quite scared, our Hou Ye's reputation outside is indeed a little scary, but after contact, I found that Hou Ye is actually very easy to get along with, never angry, and not embarrassed people, if you have to talk about shortcomings, it is a little poor"
Speaking of this, the maid couldn't help but smile and continued, "Our Hou Mansion is different from other places, I heard that the expenses in the palace are all transferred by the queen mother herself from the Internal Affairs Mansion, and the Hou Ye himself has no money at all."
After the bowl of medicine was fed, the maid got up and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go out first, it's not early, I still have to boil the bath water for our little master, compared to Hou Ye, our little young master is more difficult to serve."
The maid left, Liu Ruoxi leaned her back against the head of the bed, quietly thinking about what the shopkeeper said to the maid, she may really not understand the fateful marquis who rescued her.
After dinner, the house gradually quieted down, and the people had gone back to rest after a hard day's work.
"Bad guy, I don't want to drink medicine, it's too bitter"
In the room, Xiao Mingyue was losing her temper, she had been infected with wind chills in the past two days, which was not serious, but she always coughed.
"No, hurry up" Of course Ning Chen couldn't agree, he chased after the house with medicine, this little ancestor ran quite fast.
"I don't" Xiao Mingyue opened the door of the house and ran out at once, escaping from the devil's grasp.
"Xiao Yun, help me stop her" Ning Chen hurriedly shouted when he saw the maid coming.
Seeing this, the "good" maid immediately went up to stop her.
It's a pity that Xiao Mingyue had already prepared, bypassed the maid, and ran away without a trace.
Usually, people can't come in the backyard, only the maid is alone, and when Xiao Mingyue runs, no one can catch up.
Ning Chen was still holding the medicine, it was very inconvenient to chase after him, and after returning to the house and putting it down, he asked the maid to help block the road, and the two cooperated, and finally forced Xiao Mingyue to a corner of the courtyard.
Mingyue saw that there was nowhere to run, her big eyes rolled around, and she ran into Liu Ruoxi's room next to her.
"Bang Dang"
The door was closed, Mingyue ran to the bed, took off her shoes, and got into the quilt without saying a word.
Liu Ruoxi was taken aback and didn't know what was going on.
Ning Chen and the maid pushed the door in, and when they saw the bulging quilt, they knew that Mingyue was hiding inside.
"Mingyue, I saw you, come out quickly," Ning Chen said.
"Don't go out" Mingyue showed her little head and shook vigorously.
"I've gone over to arrest you," Ning Chen frightened.
"You're coming" Mingyue was not afraid at all, wrinkled her little nose, and said provocatively.
Ning Chen is out of recruitment, men and women are not kissed, the defense of men and women in this era is too serious, he can't go up and lift Liu Ruoxi's quilt.
"Xiao Yun, you go" Ning Chen turned his head and said.
The maid nodded helplessly, it seemed that she was the only one who came.
Mingyue saw that the situation was wrong, lifted the quilt, and jumped off the bed.
In the spring, half of the snow-white peaks come into view, white flowers, making people dizzy.
"Ahh
Ning Chen subconsciously turned around and smiled bitterly in his heart, this joke was too big.
Mingyue touched her nose, a little weak-hearted, looked at Liu Ruoxi on the bed, and comforted, "It's okay, if the bad guy doesn't want you, wait for me to grow up and marry you."
Liu Ruoxi was shy and irritable, and didn't know what to say.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Mingyue over, "Little ancestor, hurry up and go back to drink medicine, Miss Liu can't wait for you."
Ning Chen went out and waited in the courtyard, and when he saw Xiao Mingyue coming out, he deliberately put on a straight face.
Mingyue came up and pulled the corner of the bad man's clothes, and said cautiously, "Are you angry?"
"I'll drink the medicine obediently and don't run away," Mingyue continued.
"Don't be angry," Mingyue hugged the former's arm and shook it vigorously.
Ning Chen was dizzy, stretched out his hand and knocked on the little girl's forehead, and said helplessly, "Don't take it as an example, let's go, go back to the house and drink medicine."
"Well, hee-hee" Mingyue laughed happily, grabbing the big hands of the bad guy with both hands all the way back to the house.
The medicine was still on the table, it was warm, and it was just right to drink, Mingyue wrinkled her little nose and drank the medicine in one gulp, Ning Chen immediately handed over a piece of pastry and fed it to the little girl's mouth.
"It's so bitter," Mingyue said unhappily.
"Good medicine is bitter, if you don't drink the medicine in the cold, you will fall into the root of the disease," Ning Chen patiently comforted.
"Master Hou, the little young master's hot water is ready" The maid came in and said softly.
"Well, you can also go back and rest" Ning Chen said, Xiao Yun has to take care of two patients a day, and she is tired enough, and Xiao Mingyue is not the master that ordinary people can serve.
"Slave and maid retire" The maid bowed and walked away.
"Let's go take a bath, go to bed after taking a bath" Ning Chen patted the little girl's head and prepared to go back to his room.
"I want to sleep with you" Mingyue grabbed the bad guy's arm and said pitifully.
Ning Chen's face was helpless, he broke free twice, and said, "How old are you, you still need someone to sleep with you, be obedient, hurry up and wash and sleep."
"I don't" Mingyue just refused to let go.
Ning Chen talked for a long time, Xiao Mingyue was still unmoved, there was no choice but to nod her head, Xiao Mingyue was surprisingly willful in the past two days, and when the little girl was sick, she always loved to make her little temperament.
"You go take a shower first"
"Good"
Mingyue let go of her hand, ran behind the screen, and took off her clothes and took a bath.
Ning Chen pushed open the door and came to Liu Ruoxi's room, the latter had already fallen asleep, and his beautiful face was slightly sickly pale, which looked even more touching.
Ning Chen condensed his fingers and gently tapped at Liu Ruoxi's heart, and a clear stream of true qi poured in, helping him recover from his injuries.
A quarter of an hour later, Ning Chen withdrew his hand and immediately turned to leave.
After the door was closed, Liu Ruoxi opened her eyes, and her tense body slowly relaxed, it turned out that he just wanted to heal her.
Ning Chen returned to his room, and as soon as he read the book for a while, Xiao Mingyue came running in her pajamas.
"Sleep," Mingyue said coquettishly.
Ning Chen could only put down the book in his hand, and now coaxing this little ancestor to sleep was the most important thing.
"I want to listen to the story" Mingyue leaned on the bad guy's arms, curled up with her small body, and said coquettishly.
Ning Chen wiped the little girl's hair with a big towel and asked, "What story do you want to hear?"
"Snow White" Mingyue thought for a while and said.
"Didn't you say it, why don't you change it?" Ning Chen suggested.
"I'm going to listen," Mingyue twisted her body and said reluctantly.
"Okay" Ning Chen should be, the sick little girl can't afford to be provoked, so she can only go along with it.
"In a distant land, there lived a king and queen, who longed to have a child......"
"However, the good times were short-lived, Snow White's mother fell ill and died, and the king married a new queen......"
The story is not short, Ning Chen told it very carefully, Xiao Mingyue fell asleep after listening to it, and her delicate and beautiful little face had a reassuring smile, which looked very cute.
Ning Chen carefully laid the little girl flat, covered the quilt, and then walked out of the house lightly.
"Master Hou" A black-clothed figure appeared out of thin air and knelt down.
"How's it going," Ning Chen said lightly.
"Neither Duke Taizhi nor Duke Jingwu have found anything abnormal for the time being, however, Duke Xi Yu did go out of the Imperial City once a few days ago, and besides, Duke Xi Yu's disciple Yin Moxiao has a close relationship with Wushuang City, and his intentions are unknown" The black-clothed figure said respectfully.
Ning Chen nodded and said, "Keep watching, and report any movement immediately."
"Yes," the black-clothed figure commanded, and quickly disappeared.
After the spies left, Ning Chen stood quietly in the courtyard, looking into the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, Xi Yugong really had something wrong, but he didn't know if Tai Zhi Gong and Jing Wu Gong knew about it.
The situation in Great Xia is chaotic enough now, and if there is another problem with Lian Sangong, the situation will really be difficult to control.
However, what worries him the most is Fan Lingyue, what kind of role this woman plays in this between.
In this world, no one knows this woman better than him, and because he understands, he is so jealous.
