At the end of August, the osmanthus flowers were fragrant again, and small buds also bloomed on the osmanthus tree outside the Chu Ji iron shop.

Zhu Yuenuan sat in the shop obliquely, holding a book in one hand and staring at the door of the shop with her cheeks in the other.

"Sister-in-law, there is no news from Yuecha yet?" Chu Erbing was the second person in the family to worry about Yuecha, and when he came out of the courtyard, he asked, then stood in front of the door, crossed his hands on his waist, looked outside, turned his head to look at Zhu Yuenuan and asked suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, what did Yuecha do?" It's been two months, why haven't you come back? ”

"She went to Kyoto." Zhu Yuenuan glanced at him, and suddenly asked, "You seem to be very concerned about our family Yuecha?" ”

"I'm ......" Chu Erbing's face turned red, he turned his head away, and said curtly, "She is my savior......

"Oh~~ It's just a benefactor." Zhu Yuenuan nodded suddenly, put down her hand, closed the book, and stood up, "Her kung fu is just as good, don't worry, she will come back." ”

"Sister-in-law, you wait in the shop every day, if you are not worried about Yuecha, are you worried about brother?" Chu Erbing crossed his arms, leaned sideways against the door and turned his head to look at Zhu Yuenuan and asked, "I heard them say that the exam is on the ninth day of the eighth month, and today is the end of the month, is it time to release the list?" ”

"We're far away from Kyoto, so I'm already on our way to get the news." Zhu Yuenuan smiled and didn't say much.

"Huh? Sister-in-law, isn't that your sister's maid ring? Chu Erbing suddenly stood up straight, pointed to the door and said in surprise.

Zhu Yuenuan turned her head and took two steps outside, and sure enough, Jincheng hurriedly ran onto the Sifang Bridge, his steps hurried, and his expression was flustered.

"Orange." Zhu Yuenuan shouted.

When Jin Cheng heard the voice, he stopped and turned his head to look at Zhu Yuenuan. He hurriedly turned back again, his hair was sticking to his face, his clothes seemed to be sweaty, and he stood in front of Zhu Yuenuan and was blessed: "Miss." ”

"Is there something wrong with running in such a hurry?" Zhu Yuenuan asked.

"It's a little boy, I had a high fever last night, and at this moment, there are a lot of red spots on my body. The second lady cried urgently. Jincheng gasped for air. Said quickly, "Lang Zhong saw it just now, and I was in a hurry to grab the medicine." ”

"What did Lang Zhong say?" Zhu Yuenuan hurriedly asked.

Lang Zhong said. The little boy just contracted the wind cold, and said that those red spots were just because he ate something inappropriate, so he ......" Jin Cheng replied quickly.

"Just eating something inappropriate?" Zhu Yuenuan was slightly surprised.

"Yes, there are a lot of things that the little boy can't eat. Even if the second lady eats something and then milk him, he will also react. Yesterday, Mrs. didn't know where to hear it, so she mixed a bowl of egg custard for the little boy, and only then did she take a bite. That's not right. "Jin Cheng said faster and faster," the second lady was distressed, and she kept holding the little boy and coaxing her last night. I refused to let my wife touch it again, and my wife was not happy at this time. ”

"Go ahead. I'll take a look at it later. Zhu Yuenuan thought about it, sent Jincheng to grab medicine, and explained to Li Yuniang because of the courtyard, so she went to Shu's house.

When I came to Zhu Yuexin's yard, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhu Yuexin holding the child in the house and spinning around like a fly, Mrs. Shu was behind, with a slightly calm face but worried and eagerly followed.

On the one hand, there were several maid rings, all holding things in their hands, and they didn't dare to gasp.

"Mrs. Shu." Zhu Yuenuan saluted slightly and looked at Zhu Yuexin, "What's wrong with Silence?" ”

"Sister......" As soon as Zhu Yuexin saw Zhu Yuenuan, her eyes immediately turned red, and tears came out all of a sudden.

Zhu Yuenuan stepped forward and stretched out her hand to remove the cloth on the child's face, but saw that the three-month-old child's face was full of red spots.

As soon as I poked my hand, it was really hot and scary.

"I don't know what to eat, that's it...... This is ...... It's really sad...... "Mrs. Shu's eyebrows were almost twisted together, and her eyes were locked on the child. …

"It's so hot, why do you cover so much?" Zhu Yuenuan's hand flipped over Shu Mo's collar, and she was suddenly shocked, "My God, this weather, you cover him with four layers?" Or is it like this...... Thick!! ”

"But when you have a fever, aren't you afraid of the cold?" Zhu Yuexin cried and said.

"You're going to spoil him like that!!" Zhu Yuenuan looked at Zhu Yuexin Zhengse and said, "Hurry up, take off the excess, is there a burning knife at home to wipe his body." ”

"Wine?" Mrs. Shu was stunned for a moment.

"It's my uncle's method, he has tried it many times, and he can help him silently reduce the fever." Zhu Yuenuan said, looking at Zhu Yuexin, but did not step forward to take over.

"That's ......" Zhu Yuexin hesitated.

"Isn't it even more cold when you take it off?" Mrs. Shu was skeptical.

"For such a young child, you can't burn it for too long, and besides, I've seen it a few times, and it works." Zhu Yuenuan frowned, but never stretched out her hand.

"Good...... I take off my ......" Zhu Yuexin looked at Zhu Yuenuan, bit it, put the child on the bed, reached out to untie the belt, and untied it layer by layer, there were five layers.

"Hurry, wine!" Mrs. Shu glanced at Zhu Yuenuan deeply, turned around and ordered.

Soon, the wine arrived.

At this time, Zhu Yuenuan moved her hand and helped Shu Mo wipe his armpits and neck little by little......

Every time she was careful, she stopped and handed the thing to Zhu Yuexin: "It's better for you to come." ”

Stepping aside, Zhu Yuenuan's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

"Miss Zhu, have a cup of tea." Shi Yun sent tea at the right time.

"Whew~~ It's much more tiring than holding a sword." Zhu Yuenuan sighed and drank tea.

"Alas, since this child came home, I haven't slept well for two months, I remember Qing'er was well-behaved when she was young, and this child doesn't know who he looks like." Mrs. Shu sat on the side, and actually vomited bitter water, "I was sick at both ends in three days, and when I got sick, I tossed the family uneasy, alas, and I don't worry about finding a wet nurse......"

Zhu Yuexin turned a deaf ear and only concentrated on taking care of the child.

After a long time, Schumer woke up, cried twice like a cat, and fell asleep again.

However, the red spots on his face and body disappeared.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a girl ran in shouting: "Madam, Madam, there is good news~~"

"Good news?" Mrs. Shu was stunned, stood up, and looked outside in surprise.

Zhu Yuenuan's expression moved, and she got up.

"Madam, there is good news, Childe...... Childe has been lifted!! Yahuan's excited voice broke in with her hurried footsteps, "The son has lifted someone!" ”

"Really?!" Mrs. Shu was overjoyed.

Even Zhu Yuexin, who was taking care of Schumer, also turned back in surprise.

"Congratulations." Zhu Yuenuan smiled lightly, but immediately put down the teacup and got up, "I'll go back first." ”

"Sister is at ease, brother-in-law will definitely be able to win too." Zhu Yuexin smiled and said with relief.

Zhu Yuenuan nodded, nodded slightly to Mrs. Chong Shu, and walked out quickly.

Along the way, it was almost a hurried walk without touching the ground.

Stepping on the Sifang Bridge, Zhu Yuenuan suddenly stopped, only to see that the front of Chu Ji Iron Shop was full of people, and there were two red-clad officials standing at the door, holding a gong in their hands and talking to Chu Chong Hammer, Li Yuniang was already covering her mouth and crying, and Chu Erbing was grinning and smirking.

Zhu Yuenuan couldn't help frowning, and pushed aside the crowd: "Please let me go." ”

"Sister-in-law Tong, come on, Brother Yitong has taken the first place in the exam." Erhuzi's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of the movement behind him in front, and hurriedly shouted loudly, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all retreated, moving a passage for Zhu Yuenuan.

"It's Xie Yuan!" Xiao Dye added a sentence crisply.

Zhu Yuenuan stepped forward quickly.

"This is Brother Yitong's daughter-in-law, two officials, please say it again." Xiao Ran directly pulled Zhu Yuenuan forward. …

The two officials glanced at Xiao Ran, but they were not impatient, but their faces were not much better.

"Yuyang Mansion Yangui County student Chu Yitong High School head Xie Yuan~~" The gong was melodious again, spreading far away.

"You two have worked hard." Zhu Yuenuan glanced at the two of them, took out two ingots of silver and handed them over, "I've been tired all the way, please rest and drink tea." ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Xie Yuan." The two officials glanced at each other, obviously surprised, but they politely accepted the silver, and their words were much more relaxed.

"Do you know my husband's itinerary after the exam?" Zhu Yuenuan asked with a smile.

"We don't know about the others, but Chu Jieyuan's itinerary happens to know." One of them said with a smile, "He has entered Xu Daru's sect, enrolled in Guozijian, and concentrated on preparing for the entrance examination in February next year." ”

"Guozi Prison, can you arrange accommodation?" Zhu Yuenuan asked, but two ingots of silver were handed over, "We are far away, and I don't know if he is okay over there alone, if the two eldest brothers return to Kyoto, if there is a chance, please help me a lot, I am grateful!" ”

"It's good to say~It's easy to say~~" The two officials took the silver again, and their smiles were even thicker.

"Thank you." Zhu Yue warmly saluted.

Seeing off the two officials, everyone immediately surrounded and congratulated the Chu family.

"I said why did those two officials stand for so long, it turned out that they were waiting for this." Erhuzi raised his hand and gestured.

"It's still my sister-in-law who knows a lot, we are all happy and confused, and we didn't expect it." Chu Erbing was suddenly a little distressed, "But, will you give too much?" ”

"As long as they can really take care of Tong'er after they go back, it's worth it." Li Yuniang changed her normal generosity, pulled her sleeves and cried and laughed, and smiled at Zhu Yuenuan, "Yuenuan, go and clean up, let's go to the temple to make a vow together." ”

"Mother, where are you going?" Chu Erbing didn't approve of it.

"Okay." Zhu Yuenuan nodded with a smile, "It should be returned." ”

"There is also an ancestral hall, and you have to go to incense." Someone reminded.

"Go, go." Chu Chongzhu laughed, "When my Tong'er comes back, I will definitely invite all the neighbors to drink a glass of water and wine." ”

"Yitong is really amazing, he was the head of Yuyang Mansion before, and now he is Xie Yuan, and he will take the top exam next year, which is the third yuan in Lianzhong, when the time comes, we will definitely come to drink this glass of water and wine."

There are many opinions and laughter.

Zhu Yuenuan just smiled lightly, her eyes drifting away, faintly, with a little unease. (To be continued)
