After two hours, Cao went to Xuan'er's room to get the bowl, seeing that the room was still quiet, she pushed open the door lightly, and he was not seen on the desk, she walked to the desk, and found that the pumpkin mung bean soup was still the same as before, and she didn't move, walked to Xuan'er's bed, and saw that he was still sleeping, but there was a lot of sweat on his forehead, and his mouth was still buzzing about something, but she was a little far away and couldn't hear clearly.

Cao Shi got up and went to the basin to wet the silk handkerchief, took it to wipe his son's forehead, Zhou Xuan in the dream was walking in a dry grass, the grass was withered, the ground was cracked by the sun, he was thirsty, his forehead was sweating, he couldn't find a water source everywhere, he could only sit aside and look up at the sky, at this time, he saw Xue Qianxun driving a carriage with Qing'er sister galloping, he quickly stood up, waved his hand and shouted: "Sister Qing'er...... Qing'er's sister...... I'm here ......."

But the carriage was so fast that the two men in the carriage could not hear him at all, or even if they did, they did not pay attention to him, only to see them go away quickly, leaving him alone in this arid place.

Cao wiped his son's forehead, and saw that he had been muttering and didn't know what to say, so he could only put his ear to his mouth, and when he heard what he said, his face stiffened, and the silk handkerchief in his hand fell on the side of the bed, and he was stunned.

After a while, Cao Shi came to his senses, saw that Xuan'er's forehead was overflowing with sweat beads, picked up the silk handkerchief and washed it again and continued to wipe his forehead, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly touched his forehead with his hand, and found that his forehead was hot, and he didn't know what to do.

When Zhou Fuzi heard what the lady said, he quickly put the student aside, went to see Xuan'er with her, and asked on the way, "What's the matter?" How did I have a fever well. ”

Cao didn't dare to explain the reason to the prime minister, and stumbled and said: "I don't know, it may be that he stayed up late last night to study, and he caught a cold before going to bed,"

Master Zhou nodded, and said anxiously: "Maybe!" ”

Master Zhou went to his son's room with his wife, touched his son's forehead, it was indeed very hot, and called him a few times softly, seeing that he didn't move, he could only shake his arm.

Zhou Xuan was already a little dazed at this time, even if his father shook his arm, he didn't open his eyes, Zhou Fuzi saw that this was wrong, and hurriedly said to the lady: "You are watching him at home, I will ask the doctor to come over." ”

"Well, you go," Cao agreed, picked up the silk handkerchief and dipped it in water, and wiped Xuan'er's forehead, thinking of what he said in a daze just now, he couldn't help but shed tears, I didn't expect Tang Qing'er to have passed so long, Xuan'er still hadn't forgotten her, and she was still thinking about her in her heart.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zhou Fuzi brought the doctor to see Zhou Xuan, and the doctor said: "Occasionally, I feel cold, and the patient's thoughts are too heavy, so he will have a fever and talk nonsense like now, I will prescribe some medicine to him, you will fry it for him for a while, and you will be fine if you drink three or four pairs of conditions, but the matter is serious, you still need to enlighten him more, after all, heart disease still needs heart medicine," the doctor shook his head, was welcomed to the table by Zhou Fuzi, picked up the pen and began to prescribe medicine to Zhou Fuzi.

Master Zhou saw that the doctor had indeed prescribed some medicine to clear the fire and reduce fever, and hurriedly said, "I'm tired of the doctor,"

"You're welcome, you're welcome," the doctor said, waving his hand.

Master Zhou went back to the pharmacy with the doctor and came back with some medicine: "I'll go to the kitchen to decoct the medicine, and you take care of your son!" "Take the medicine and go to the kitchen.

Cao's stayed in the house to take care of Xuan'er, in fact, she was really afraid that her husband would stay in the house to take care of her son, and when he heard Xuan'er's nonsense, maybe something would happen, the family was finally stable and peaceful, living the previous life, she didn't want to be broken by these things to maintain the peace that was hard to maintain.

Cao Shi shed tears at Xuan'er who was in a coma and said, "Son, why do you still miss Tang Qing'er, what is so good about her, is it worth your heart?" I don't even care about my own body. ”

Zhou Xuan didn't know that her mother was crying next to him, and muttered in her dream: "Water...... Water...... I want water......"

Cao Shi heard what his son said, hurriedly walked to the table, brought a glass of water, gently lifted his head to feed the water to his mouth, and said softly: "Xuan'er, drink water!" ”

Zhou Xuan in the dream felt that he drank water in his mouth, and he instantly woke up a lot, opened his eyes and saw his mother holding his head, her eyes were still slightly red and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, my mother is happy to see you wake up!"

Zhou Xuan raised his hand and wanted to rub his forehead, but he couldn't muster his strength, and asked his mother, "Then what's wrong with me?" ”

"You're fine, just a little fever,"

Thinking of the dream just now, Zhou Xuan said unconsciously: "Mother, did I say anything just now?" ”

"Mother didn't pay attention, I've been worried about your body, seeing that you have a fever and wipe the sweat on your forehead, even if you say something, my mother can't notice it," Cao Shi lightly turned this matter over, without mentioning the foolish words he said.

"That's good, that's good." Zhou Xuan felt quite relieved when he heard this, closed his eyes again, and whispered: "Mother, I'm squinting for a while, I'm very sleepy." ”

"Okay, you sleep! My mother is guarding you. Cao's eyes were red and he looked at Xuan'er with his eyes closed.

"Well," Zhou Xuan squinted unconsciously.

Master Zhou, who had boiled the medicine, entered the house with a bowl and said to Cao: "You wake up Xuan'er and let him drink the medicine, so that his body can get better faster." ”

"Okay," Cao woke up Xuan'er softly, he kept his eyes closed, but she could only hold his head into her arms again, and said to Xiang: "You hand me the bowl, and then open his mouth, I will directly pour the medicine into him," Xuan'er didn't like to drink medicine when she was sick when she was a child, and she coaxed him to take the medicine every time, and now she has a fever and is a little confused, so she can only take advantage of his sleepiness and pour the medicine directly into his mouth.

Zhou Fuzi did what the lady said, pressed Xuan'er's mouth open, she poured the medicine in the bowl into her son's mouth in one go, and when he swallowed it, the bitter taste made him cough twice, and when he opened his eyes to see the person opposite, he shouted: "Dad,"

"Well, wake up!" Zhou Fuzi finally showed a smile when he came back from the school.

"Let my father and mother worry about me, it's the child who is not filial," Zhou Xuan said weakly.

"It's okay, as long as you're in good health and don't have any illness or disaster, your mother and I can rest assured."

"Yes,"

Cao Shi asked Xuan'er at this time: "You haven't eaten since you came back, are you hungry?" ”

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, I don't have any appetite at all, I feel weak and tired." ”

"Then you rest! Now that the medicine has been fed to you, you will be better when you sleep. Cao said.

"What your mother said is, lie down quickly!" Let the lady straighten Xuan'er's body, cover him with a quilt, and see him close his eyes and go out lightly.

Cao Shi said fairly: "You still have classes in a while, hurry up and teach the students!" I'll take care of my son, and if anything happens, I'll call you again, so you don't have to worry. ”

After all, their family lives in the academy and lives with the money given by the academy, even if they don't worry about Xuan'er, Master Zhou still has to go to the academy to teach the students.

Cao Shi saw Xianggong go to the front yard, she turned around and went to the kitchen, made some appetizing meals for Xuan'er, worked hard by the stove, and as soon as the work in her hand was put down, she sat on the stool and shed tears, what happened back then was indeed her wrong, and now she heard that the surname Tang would take a detour, even if Tang Tiezhu brought his three sons to visit Xianggong last time, even if she was happy in her heart, she did not miss the slightest expression on her face, because she was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, the regret in her heart would come in.

Because of her insistence and her attitude, even if Xuan'er loves Tang Qing'er, she can only suppress this affection in her heart, thinking that things will come to an end with Tang Qing'er's marriage, but who would have thought that Xuan'er still can't forget Tang Qing'er, seeing the haggard Xuan'er, how can she not blame herself, not be sad, not sad.

After another hour, Cao went to Xuan'er's room with a prepared meal, saw that he had woken up, and changed into a shirt by himself, and said with a smile: "Are you feeling better?" ”

"Much better, mother, I drank the medicine, slept for a while, and when I woke up, I felt that all my strength was back, and when I smelled the food you cooked, my appetite was even greater." didn't want her mother to worry, Zhou Xuan joked to his mother.

"That's good, the food and dishes brought by my mother, are you going to eat it yourself or let your mother feed you."

"How old are the children, let the mother feed them, or let me eat them myself!"

Seeing that Xuan'er insisted on eating by himself, Cao Shi didn't argue with him, and sat on the side to watch him chew slowly and eat the food he made into his stomach.

After Zhou Xuan ate most of the meals and dishes, put down the dishes and chopsticks, Cao took the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said, "Can you eat enough?" ”

"It's full," Zhou Xuan said by wiping his mouth with his silk handkerchief.

"Well, you can rest! I put the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen," Cao Shi took his things and lifted his feet out, and when he turned around, he saw Xuan'er pick up the book next to the pillow to read, and couldn't help but admonish: "You are not in good health today, don't be sad to read a book, just read it when your body is better." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly: "Mother, my son can only read books to pass the time now, if he doesn't read books, he will only think about some messy things when he closes his eyes and sleeps, which is even more difficult for his son." ”

Hearing this, Cao's couldn't help but stop, his heart tightened, and he agreed with what he said with a smile, but after Cao's hand was gone, he couldn't hold the dishes and chopsticks at all, so he could only lean his body against the pillar to support it so as not to fall.

After Master Zhou got out of class, he drove straight to Xuan'er's room, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw that the lady's face was pale, and she was weak to lean on the pillar, so she walked a few steps quickly to her side and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I don't have anything to do, maybe the weather is a little stuffy, I'm just a little confused for a while."

"Well, then I'll help you back to the house and rest! Xuan'er has me to take care of you," Master Zhou helped the lady and slowly walked towards the room of the two.

"Okay," he said after a sigh of relief, "I just came out of my son's room, his fever has subsided, and he has eaten a lot, and now he is reading a book in the house?" You can go to the kitchen and have a bite to eat, and then go to his house to see him. ”

"Okay, okay, you don't have much strength, don't talk anymore, I have my own opinions," Master Zhou reprimanded Cao Shi with a bad face.

"Well, listen to you, don't say anything!" Cao Shi leaned on Xianggong's shoulder and smiled lightly.
