After changing the doctor, changing the prescription, no longer being entangled in official duties, and Qin Bai staring at him, Wu Shaoying's illness seems to have finally improved. After taking medicine for two or three days, my cough has improved a lot, and I no longer have a fever repeatedly.

It's just that Wu Shaoying has always been a little lazy, and she doesn't seem to have much energy.

Qin Bai was a little worried, and once asked the famous doctor, but the other party only said vaguely: "The patient is just thinking too much, and it is better to prescribe everything." Don't bother for a while, just eat and sleep. He is just too tired, and the most important thing at the moment is to rest more and make up for the damage first. ”

Qin Bai only understood the second half, and he didn't understand the meaning of his first two sentences. Isn't Wu Shaoying resting and recuperating every day? Why is she still tired? There are people who are overly worried. That's how he always was.

Qin Bai could only persuade Wu Shaoying not to think much about everything, and it was important to take care of his body first. The official business has come to an end. There is still nearly a month to go before the yamen reopens after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I can't worry about what will happen so long later. As for anything else, what else can he worry about? As for the matter of being promoted to an official next year, with Huang Jincheng and the governor Yamen staring at him, he will not bargain for others in vain.

When Wu Shaoying heard these words, there was naturally nothing undeserved in his mouth. But his spirit just couldn't cheer up, and he always looked a little weak. Qin Bai only thought that he was weak in his illness, and he didn't think much about it, but only instructed the people waiting around him to cook him more meals that were good and beneficial to his body, and he had to take food supplements in addition to medicine, so that he could get better quickly.

The year is approaching, and it looks like it's Chinese New Year's Eve. It was impossible for Qin Bai to stay in the city for too long, and he had to go back to Qinzhuang to participate in the rituals of the clan. Seeing that Wu Shaoying's condition had improved and there was nothing serious, he had to leave.

Qin Hanzhen felt that his cousin's mental state was not quite right, as if he had no motivation to do things after he was released in one breath. This mindset did not help his condition. She has the heart to stay in the city and continue to take care of Wu Shaoying, and she must really see that his condition is getting better, and her spirits are also cheered up, so that she can leave with confidence. Otherwise, Wu Shaoying is left alone in this mansion, there are only subordinates around him, and few dare to disobey him, what if he is willful and refuses to take medicine and rest?

Qin Hanzhen heard Li Zi say it in private, and the little girl next to Wu Shaoying complained to Li Zi, saying that Wu Shaoying was sick, and he was still holding a book to read at night, and he refused to sleep until the second watch, and he got up again at dawn in the early morning. Not to mention that he is still picky when eating, it was okay when Qin Bai and Qin Hanzhen were present, but when they were not there, he sometimes felt that he had a bad appetite, so he threw away his hand with only half a bowl of porridge and refused to eat anything. Wu Shaoying didn't rest well, and he didn't eat well, how could he take care of his body?

Qin Hanzhen felt that this was not the way to cherish his body. Even if you have developed a habit on weekdays, when is it now? If you are not in good health and are sick again, what if you change your routine a little? If you sleep a little longer and nourish your spirit, what can you hinder? When will you not be able to read a book? And when you eat, if you can still eat, you should eat more, even if you have no appetite, won't he feel hungry?

If it weren't for this tossing method, Wu Shaoying would not really starve to death and die of illness, Qin Hanzhen would have suspected that he was disheartened because he buried his mother Guan Rongniang, and he deliberately belittled his body. Although she is not good at persuading her cousin, don't always think about the dead person, and think more about herself, but seeing him like this, how can she bear to leave him?

Qin Hanzhen crossed over since she beat herself, and it took more than half a year to see her biological father, and before that, except for her grandfather Qin Bai, who had always cared about her and protected her, it was her cousin Wu Shaoying. Just because of this friendship, Qin Hanzhen couldn't sit back and watch him continue to toss himself like this.

Therefore, she specially begged her grandfather: "My cousin here, I have to have someone to watch him every day to take medicine and eat." Hengzhi is just a minor illness, and if he wants to take medicine for a few more days, he will be cured before the year. I want to stay in the city and come over every day to see him and help with the cooking. Otherwise, he stayed alone in the courtyard of the experience, with only people around him, and he didn't have anyone to talk to in case of trouble. Although I am young, I have seen a little bit of the world, even if I can't help my cousin, it is still no problem to talk to him and relieve my boredom. ”

Qin Bai was surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I know that you have always been close to your cousin, but since your grandfather brought you out, he never left you alone in the city, but he returned to Qinzhuang." If you are worried about your cousin, just leave the plums and wait. If there is any news, Li Zi can also ride a horse to report it to you immediately. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are many things in the clan, how can you not go back with your grandfather?"

Qin Hanzhen said: "There are indeed a lot of various ceremonies and sacrifices in the clan before the year, but basically there is nothing to do with my girl's family. When I went back, I just accompanied my grandmother to watch the play in the theater garden, and then went to every house to talk to my sisters and nieces, and there was nothing else I could do. I had already experienced this last year, so it's boring, and it's okay not to attend this year. It's important for my cousin here, and when he gets better, it's the same if I go back to Qinzhuang. Besides, I just stayed in the house of Confucius Temple and came to see my cousin every day, not to live at my cousin's house. Isn't the house of the Confucius Temple our own? I live in my own house, so how could it be that my grandfather left me behind? There are all kinds of maids, mothers-in-law, housekeepers and nurses in the house over there, and even if I don't have my grandfather and grandmother with me, I am not alone there, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

Qin Bai was silent, obviously hesitating. His granddaughter's words made a lot of sense, he didn't have anything to worry about, but Qin Hanzhen was still young after all, and no matter how stable he was, he was not old enough to be able to take charge on his own, so he inevitably had to think about it more.

Zhao Mo had been sitting on the side as a wallflower, but at this time, he suddenly spoke: "There is nothing wrong with my cousin staying here in the Confucius Temple." If my uncle and grandfather are worried that my cousin comes to the government every day, it is not convenient for her to go out as a girl, I live on the Huaiqing Bridge, and it is not far away, so it is better for me to come over every day to escort my cousin on this journey. I am now in Jinling City, and I am a little decent, and Xiao Xiao, who is idle, will not dare to disturb me. With me in her care, my cousin naturally doesn't have to worry about being bumped into by anyone. ”

Qin Bai looked at him in surprise: "Do you want to stay in the city too?" I remember you just said yesterday that the people under your command have already finished their accounts?"

Zhao Mo smiled a little embarrassedly: "The account is finished, and a lot of input has been added this year." Didn't I think that the people below had worked hard this year, and I was going to treat them well? So I asked someone to find a good restaurant in the city, and I booked a private room, and asked them to go to a banquet. Next, there are trivial things such as tips and dividends. It's almost the New Year, people have worked hard for me for a year, and I am the master of the family, so I always want them to have a good year comfortably. ”

Qin Bai slowed down his expression: "This is as it should be." You're older now, too, than you were when you were a child. For those under the opponent, it is better to be gracious and powerful. As long as they do their duty, they will be rewarded for what they deserve. ”

Zhao Mo smiled shyly and said, "I thought about the reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and I also ate with them." They are all old people around my father and mother, just like my own family. I parted with my relatives and was alone in Jinling, with them by my side, and I didn't feel lonely. ”

Zhao Mo is a foreigner, and the Qin family worships ancestors and eats reunion dinners or something, and it is embarrassing for him to step in. Last year, he followed the prince to celebrate the New Year, and this year the prince returned to the capital, and he could only eat Chinese New Year's Eve by himself.

Qin Bai originally wanted him to follow his old couple to spend Chinese New Year's Eve in one place, but he thought about it, thinking that the children of the clan had their own rules for worshipping their ancestors on Chinese New Year's Eve. Although Zhao Mo is young, he is the eldest son and grandson of the prince's mansion of the serious clan, and the rules of this sacrifice cannot be ignored. Asking him to act in the Qin family's place is afraid that it will make him uncomfortable, but it is better to allow him to be independent, let him worship his ancestors in his own place, and he can be at peace with each other.

Thinking of this, Qin Bai didn't say anything, only said: "The son of the Zhang family is still with you now, right?" Say hello to Lord Huang and let him take people away, you won't be able to live in your own house without telling you for the New Year." If you don't have anything to eat and play there, just tell your aunt and grandmother and let her prepare it for you. When Chinese New Year's Eve is over, you will go back to us early in the morning. ”

Zhao Mo responded with a smile.

Qin Bai turned back to his granddaughter and said, "Hanzhen, since you really care about your cousin, then I will let you stay in the city." You must pay attention to your daily life, and you are not allowed to go out unless you are escorted by Guanglu! When you go out, you must take a car, not walk. It's not the time when we first arrived in Jiangnan last year, and there are many people who know you, so don't let people collide. ”

Qin Han was really overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

Qin Bai instructed the two children for a long time, then turned back to tell Wu Shaoying, and then took Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo back to the house over there in the Confucius Temple. He didn't stay long, and rode back to Qinzhuang, leaving Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo staring at each other in the front yard.

Qin Hanzhen hesitated for a moment, gave Zhao Mo a look, and the two of them turned to the study together, and then sent everyone else out. On weekdays, Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo practice calligraphy and painting here, it has always been such a habit, and others don't think it's any different, but Zhao Mo feels that she doesn't have the leisure to practice painting today.

Sure enough, as Zhao Mo expected, Qin Hanzhen opened his mouth in a low voice and asked him for advice: "Cousin, I think he seems to be a little depressed because of my mother's burial. He was sad, but he couldn't vent it, and he was worried that my grandfather would find out, no wonder the doctor said he was too worried. What should I do? I always felt like he was a little bit of a self-defeating man. In this way, even if you can really cure the disease, it will procrastinate and leave future troubles. Cousin Zhao, do you think I should have a showdown with him and let him cheer up again?"

Zhao Mo was stunned, but quickly calmed down: "How to have a showdown? That kind of thing is not something we should know." I'm afraid that Mr. Wu won't be happy to tell my cousin that you know. ”

"Then what should I do?" Qin Hanzhen said distressedly, "If you don't mention my mother's matter, no matter how much you persuade him to relax, it's just an itch in his boots." Do I usually persuade less? Do you think my cousin can listen to a few words?"

Zhao Mo pondered for a moment and said, "I have a way, maybe I can persuade him, but I don't know if it will work." ”

Qin Hanzhen hurriedly asked, "What method?"

Who knew that Zhao Mo sold Guan Zi again at this time: "Cousin, don't ask first, wait for me to try him." If it does, it's not too late for me to tell you. ”
