Chapter 13: Passers-by

Saturday Lang went to Jiangzhou in person, and after a few days, there was an extra young girl beside him, which stunned the people at home.

After talking to her father and mother, this girl, who was guessed by everyone, became Liulang's close-service girl.

The girl in this position has a chance to get it after at least three years of polishing and training.

This wild girl who suddenly appeared was so valued by the son that she became the focus of the family for a while.

What is the fool who bought Mrs. Zhou when she was alive and gave it to the Cheng family, but now that the fool has returned home, she naturally wants to go back to the Zhou family, it's so simple? Whoever believes is a fool.

Banqin was said to be shy and uneasy, she is not a sharp tooth, and she grew up in the Taoist temple, dealing with these girls at home, she is always a little frightened, but fortunately, for the sake of Liulang's face, everyone is kind to her.

But she still won't deal with everyone's jokes, and if the lady is here, what will she say?

flashed the word lady, Banqin's heart sank suddenly, as if hanging an iron scale, falling and falling.

Wife...

Are you okay?

Wouldn't she be sad if she left her like this? Or, have forgotten that there is such a person as Banqin in the world.

At this time, looking back, how could she be so confused in the first place, she didn't even think about it, she just ......

"Hey, you're here."

Someone suddenly shouted overhead.

Banqin looked intently, and saw the window on the second floor, the young man frowned and leaned over, with impatience on his face.

"Why is it so slow!" He said, arrogant and domineering.

Banqin only felt joy spread from the bottom of her heart. The scale was gone in an instant.

"Yes." She answered and hurriedly walked into the restaurant. Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, I walked through the noisy lobby and came to the private room on the second floor.

Just went up the stairs. Several women approached, most of them wearing multicolored gauze hats, and two of them were holding a girl of five or six years old.

Banqin turned sideways to dodge, and suddenly one of the girls groaned.

"Sister?" She shouted, "You're that sister!" ”

With her shouting, everyone stopped and was a little puzzled, and Banqin also subconsciously looked up and saw the girl smiling in surprise at her.

"Ahh The girl was even happier to see her appearance. Raising her little hand, "You're the girl who can call the wind and rain!" ”

Banqin looked at her suddenly.

In the rain, the temple was broken, and the old man was hungry for red bean cakes.

It's just that at this time, there is no old man by the girl's side, and there is no lady by her side.

Banqin was a little stunned for a while.

"It's you." She said, unable to help but smile, "Little sister." You've come to the capital too. ”

The girl nodded happily and busily shook her woman's hand.

"Sister, this sister is me and grandpa, we met on the road. It's amazing, it rains, and it's delicious. She said in a childlike voice.

The women present knew that the girl had come all the way from south to north. Although there are not many such road encounters again, it is not impossible. So he glanced at Banqin and didn't care much.

The woman pulling the girl nodded slightly at the half celery. It's kind of a greeting.

Banqin was busy returning the gift.

"Sister, what's your name, where do you live, my name is Danniang, I live in..."The girl said very excitedly.

Before he finished speaking, he was gently pulled down by the woman, and the girl's words were cut off.

And the girl over there also urged.

"Banqin, hurry up, Childe is waiting." She said.

Both sides agreed, Banqin and the women saluted again, and the girls walked separately in reluctance.

It's like on the road, you meet an acquaintance and smile, and in the end you have to go your separate ways.

"Our Danniang also has old acquaintances."

The women in the company made fun of the little girl.

The girl was a little proud, and came to the capital to leave the environment where she had lived since childhood, for her, the child, it was really a little lonely and lonely, especially when her grandfather was sick.......

Grandfather!

Thinking of her grandfather, the girl was a little anxious.

"Come home, go home, I'm going to tell grandpa to go." She said happily.

Hearing her mention her grandfather, several women had a little sadness on their faces, stroked the girl's head, and went downstairs to get into the car.

The carriage made its way through the streets, turned into a secluded alley, and stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary house.

The house is ordinary, and there are many people who greet it, and the momentum is not small.

The girl breaks free from the slave woman's hand.

"I'll go find Grandpa." She shouted, running towards a courtyard.

The servant woman hurriedly chased after her.

The girl threw off the servant and entered a courtyard, where she ran into a man who caught her with a clear eye and a hand to prevent her from falling.

Rao is like this, and it also makes the girl cover her nose and tears in her eyes.

"Forgive the sins, the old man didn't see the little lady." The trembling white-haired old man hurriedly persuaded him.

The man who followed the old man had a solemn expression.

"Danniang, rude." He shouted in a deep voice.

The Chen family has a strict family education, both men and women are enlightened at the age of four, and now Danniang, who is only five years old, already knows the etiquette of advance and retreat.

"It's Danniang's rudeness." She said.

The old man smiled and nodded.

Chen Shao's complexion softened slightly.

"Father, I want to go see Grandpa." Danniang observed the words and said busily.

"Don't go, grandpa just took medicine, don't wake him up." Chen Shao said, looking at the anxious servant woman who came over and waved her hand, "Take the lady down." ”

The servants hurriedly stepped forward to grab the girl and took her away.

Chen Shao exhaled softly.

The old man looked at him, thought for a moment, and stretched out his hand.

The little guy who followed behind him immediately took the medical box, and the old man took out a porcelain bottle from it and handed it to Chen Shao.

"You can use this." He said.

Chen Shao's face was surprised, and he subconsciously held the old man's hand.

"Imperial Doctor Li, this medicine is for my father...."He asked in a trembling voice.

The old man shook his head.

"It's for you." He said, slapping the porcelain vase in Chen Shao's hand and lowering his voice. "Lord Chen is too worried, take care. This medicine can regulate the essence and relieve the consumption of adults who do not eat or sleep. ”

After that, he patted Chen Shao's arm again.

"Your Excellency. Be steady. He said.

In the face of the patient's family, a doctor said not to take care of his mourning, but to stabilize, which sounded a little weird, but Chen Shao woke up smartly.

The initial cause of my father's illness was a sudden fall, and the old man was only afraid of breaking his muscles and bones, but fortunately the old father only scratched a little skin, and several doctors said that it would be good to raise it.

But I didn't expect that this raising was not only not good. It's heavier.

At first, he couldn't get up, then he lost feeling in his legs and feet, and soon he couldn't urinate and urinate involuntarily, and now he is in a coma for half a day.

From a mentally strong old man to a paralyzed bed, unconscious, and dying, it was only half a month's work, which is too fast! It's so sudden!

The doctor changed like a horse, but he couldn't even say a unified cause, and when he got to the end, Chen Shao didn't dare to ask a doctor easily.

Because. The news of his father's serious illness spread, and the matter of his worries in the court has been discussed, and it is said that someone has already written to the emperor to recommend someone to replace him.

I just returned to the capital, and I haven't started to make a big difference. I have to leave again, if I leave this time, three years. Three years, there are several three years in life!

How willingly. How willingly.

Father's illness, his own future. The future of the Chen family, tormented day and night, made Chen Shao, an elegant and atmospheric scribe, almost out of shape.

When outsiders see this kind of appearance, the rumors will inevitably intensify.

Chen Shao clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand, these medicines can keep him in spirit, and he can describe it as steady.

A physician would think of this?

Chen Shao looked over, and the old man's back was stepping out of the door, trembling.

Who was entrusted to give him advice?

Steady, steady.

Chen Shao clenched the porcelain vase, contemplated, and did not move for a long time.

The little figure took advantage of the maid's medicine bowl and slipped into the room.

The smell of medicine and the smell of the room were mixed, Danniang didn't care, but eagerly looked at the back of the tent, and an old man on the couch slept peacefully.

"Grandpa, grandpa." Danniang shouted, tiptoeing past.

The old man on the couch, covered with two brocade quilts, closed his eyes silently, and his slightly open mouth panted for breath, telling others that he was still alive.

Danniang still couldn't tell the difference between illness and death, she only knew that her grandfather was tired so she had to rest more, so she knelt on the edge of the bed and lifted the doll in her hand.

"Grandpa, grandpa, look what I bought." She said.

The girl's voice was crisp, and the old man woke up slowly, turning his head and looking at him with cloudy eyes, this was the time for him to be awake rarely.

I'm so happy to see my granddaughter.

"Ah, Danniang," he said in a hoarse, muffled voice.

The girl was even happier when she saw her grandfather wake up, and chirped to her grandfather about what she had seen and heard in the market, what she had eaten and played.

"Grandpa, you get better soon," she said, shaking her grandfather's arm and her eyes brightened, "We went to see the lights when we were fifteen, and I wanted my grandfather to carry me on his back to see it, and grandpa could hold me tall." ”

A tear flowed from the old man's cloudy eyes.

It's okay, Danniang, grandpa, I can't accompany you to see the lights, grandpa, I can't accompany you anymore......

"Ah, by the way, grandpa, I saw that sister today." Danniang said, putting down the doll in her hand, "The sister who gave me red bean cake to eat." ”

The old man's mind was stunned.

Red bean cake...

"Grandpa, do you remember, that, let's hurry, it's raining, that lady said it was raining, it rained, if she said no, it wouldn't rain, that lady, that lady's girl, give me red bean cake, it's very delicious."

The children's words are chaotic, what to say, where to think of where to say, there is no way to break sentences.

These chaotic words were heard in the ears of the confused old man, but they were clearly understood.

That lady...

That lady!

Uncle, your illness should be cured as soon as possible......

Mu Ran's voice exploded in his ears, and the old man raised his body suddenly, but in the end he was powerless, he just raised his hand, and a ho-ho sound came out of his throat.

"That lady!" He hissed.

The girl was startled, looking at the struggling grandfather at a loss, the people outside the door heard the movement and ran in, Chen Shao also came in, and saw her father's pale face and staring eyes, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Can't you do it... It's going to be ...... so soon

His mind went blank.

"Father." He lunged over and grabbed his father's hand.

His father's hand grabbed him violently, as hard as he had ever done.

"San Lang, that lady," he shouted as he looked at his son with all his might, "Help! (To be continued......)
