Chapter 18: Traveling with the Army
Cuiguo walked to Duanyue, who was on the bed, and she sat down along the edge of the bed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info "Come on, take the medicine." ”
Duanyue buried her face in the thick quilt, unable to see her expression. She twisted her body to refuse, but Cuiguo continued to persuade her. "If this injury is seen by Master Hou, then I won't be worried."
She bent down and whispered in Duanyue's ear. "Master Hou is worried, what should I do if something goes wrong in the barracks." Cui Guo has really been with Duanyue for a long time, and she immediately understands where Duanyue's weakness is. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Duanyue sat up, reluctantly rolled up her sleeves, and was at the mercy of Cuiguo.
Seeing Duanyue so obedient, Cuiguo's face also relaxed, and she put on a smile. The slave maid thought, it would be strange if the county lord didn't pounce to save Miss Yu. Your injuries are not in vain. ”
"Hmph, if I meet those people, I will definitely make them unable to eat and walk around!" Such vicious words came out of her mouth, and it seemed very nondescript. Cuiguo just smiled and nodded.
Duanyue recalled what happened in the morning, and Yan Xinghui's face was reflected in her mind. He is shorter than himself, he looks very thin, and his appearance is ordinary, so he dares to rush out. She asked tentatively at Cuiguo. "Cuiguo, do you know Yan Xinghui, the third son of Mrs. Yan's family?"
Cuiguo didn't expect it for a while, she stopped what she was doing, blinked and thought about it, and after a while, she suddenly patted her head. "Huh? Mrs. Yan's third son! Duanyue nodded hurriedly.
"Mrs. Yan is a teacher who teaches to princes and princesses, and he is very strict and rigid. This Yan Sangongzi was only made by others who were confused when they were middle-aged, and no one knew who his mother was. And Mrs. Yan doesn't like him very much, I look really strange and pitiful. Cuiguo said with a sympathetic look on her face.
Duanyue recalled Mrs. Yan's tone towards Yan Xinghui, and the words were so fierce that Yan Xinghui couldn't help arguing, it was just a scolding. No wonder Yan Xinghui was so aggrieved in his eyes at that time, which made Duanyue feel a little compassionate.
She used to think that she would be the most pitiful person in the world without her father. But now seeing that Yan Xinghui's father is by his side, he can't receive a trace of care from his relatives, but there are so many people around him to take care of him, which is really lucky.
In fact, there are not many injuries on Duanyue's body, after all, the power of the fight between children is not too great. After taking the medicine, she was filled with a vague aroma of medicine, in the words of Cuiguo, like a walking medicine jar. Just after taking the medicine, the wind came.
Cuiguo was about to go out with the medicine bottle when she collided with the wind. She looked up and saw that it was a wild wind, and the scene from last night suddenly appeared in her mind, and her face inadvertently flushed. She saluted the wind and left. The sharp-eyed wind caught a glimpse of the medicine bottle she was holding, and immediately called out to Cuiguo.
"Wait a minute!" Cuiguo waited for the wind to call out to her, and she quickly stopped and stood obediently.
"What do you have to say?"
Grace Wind asked, picking up the medicine bottle on the tray in her hand. "Is Satsuki injured? How do you want to use gold sore medicine. ”
Cuiguo's heart suddenly panicked, but then subsided. She repeated to the wind as Mrs. Yu said to her at that time. "Earlier, the county lord went to the temple fair with Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu, and had an argument with the young lady of another family, and she was beaten a few times in order to protect Miss Yu. But it's not a big deal, I've already been medicated. ”
He let out an "um", put down the medicine bottle and walked inside to visit Duanyue. Looking at his back, Cuiguo felt a little lost in her heart.
Duanyue saw that the wind came to see her, swept away her displeasure, and happily jumped off the bed and stuck to the wind. "Why does my brother have time to come and see me?"
Seeing that her expression was normal and her injuries were not very serious, Yan Feng breathed a sigh of relief. After a few days, the face of the wind was a little darker, and it was full of healthy luster. He pinched Duanyue's bulging cheeks and smiled dotingly. "I wanted to see you last night, but you slept too late, so I came today."
"Ahh I said that when I was sleeping yesterday, I heard a noise outside, and it turned out to be you, brother. She vaguely remembered that last night, when she was drowsy, there was a sound of Suo Suo outside the house, and it was probably a wind when she thought about it. Next time you come, let Cuiguo wake me up. ”
Seeing her innocent appearance, the wind couldn't help but laugh. "Don't be embarrassed for Cuiguo, wake you up, it's still her who will be scolded."
"I'm going to Yuesong County with the army in three days, you have to remember to see me off."
Duanyue was anxious when she heard it. "What are you going to do there?"
The wind explained with a smile. "There is a group of bandits in Yuesong County who have oppressed the people for many years, so the emperor ordered to go to suppress the bandits." His eyes shone with deep meaning. "This is my first time traveling with the army, so it would be nice if I could make a contribution to it."
"Brother is so powerful, he will definitely be able to make a great contribution!" Duanyue, the little sycophant, immediately read it out loud, she naturally didn't understand her brother's intentions, and just tried her best to make the wind happy. Seeing her like this, the wind smiled crookedly, and rubbed her hair with satisfaction.
He stretched out his little thumb in front of Duanyue, revealing a rare young man's stubborn expression. "Then it's decided, you must come to the city gate to see me off in three days!"
Duan Yue forcibly held back the reluctance in her heart, and nodded her head with a pretended smile on her face, her little finger hooked with the fingers of the wind, like a promise between the children in the village. She grabbed Wind's arm, rested her head lightly, and lifted her eyes.
"Brother needs to come back safely." She looked up at the wind and was stunned.
The wind couldn't cry or laugh. It's just to suppress bandits, not to fight, where does this girl want to go? Although the person who was laughing in his heart had long been on his back, he still nodded on the surface and said "I know".
On this day, Duanyue did not fall asleep. She stared at the top of the bed with her eyes open and thought about a bunch of messy things. The next day, when Cuiguo saw her, she burst out laughing. "Could it be that the windows in the lord's house are also broken?" She giggled.
Duanyue didn't understand what she was talking about, sat down in front of the dresser, and saw her two heavy dark circles in the mirror, and laughed stupidly. "Oops," she scratched her shaggy hair, smiling sheepishly. "I thought about things last night and slept too late."
Cuiguo teased Duanyue on her lips, but her hands did not stop. She stirred the veil and applied it to Duanyue's eyes. The warmth made Duanyue close her eyes comfortably, and her eyes felt unprecedented comfort. "I don't know if this method is useful, if the county lord has such a tired face, the slave will be miserable."
"But it's so comfortable." Duanyue closed her eyes and waved her hand in the air. Cuiguo combed her hair in a bun when she saw the stitches.
Today's Cuiguo is completely different from when they first met, just like an "old fritter", and from time to time they joke at Duanyue. "The county lord won't still think about how to get rid of those bad girls in his dreams."
"Humph! I don't care about it. Duanyue smiled, and the veils on her eyebrows were about to be removed by her.
The veil was like a firework for that moment, but it became cool after a while. As soon as she tore off the handkerchief under her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the mandarin duck standing outside the door. I saw that she was standing alone at the door, and she didn't cross the threshold to come in, looking like she had lost her soul.
Cuiguo looked at Duanyue's gaze, and she also wondered why Miss Yu was standing outside and quickly led her in. "What is Miss Yu doing standing at the door, her hands are cold." Cuiguo was very careful and poured her a cup of hot tea to warm her hands.
"What about Mrs. Yu? Why did you just come here? Duanyue looked suspicious.
The mandarin duck looked listless, she held the teacup and said lazily. "My mother met Uncle Xu Lin on the road and asked me to come over first." Duanyue let out a casual "oh", Mrs. Yu is Xu Lin's sister, and it is natural to say a few words when they meet.
Before Cuiguo had put silk flowers on Duanyue, the little girl couldn't sit still and jumped off the stool, and she ran to the edge of the mandarin duck in high spirits, like someone who hadn't slept all night. Sure enough, children are the most energetic.
She smiled at the mandarin duck coquettishly, but the mandarin duck looked uneasy, she had no intention of talking to Duanyue, and her eyes were even more evasive. But Duanyue couldn't see her abnormality, and still talked to her with a spring breeze on her face.
"Mandarin duck, have you eaten it?" Before she could answer, Duanyue hurriedly ordered to go down. "Grab the best food!" Cuiguo could only hold her forehead and smile bitterly, she really wanted to come out one by one.
The mandarin duck hurriedly waved his hand and politely declined. "Don't bother, I've already had breakfast at home." She lowered the corners of her eyes, staring intently at the cup of tea in her hand, watching the lonely tea stalks floating up and down in the white porcelain cup, without any smile.
Duanyue only felt that it was yesterday, and she was still haunted, and when she saw her restless look, she was not happy. At this time, Cuiguo also came up with pastries, and took red bean cakes, cloud cakes and kumquat candy, which are Duanyue's favorite foods on weekdays. When she saw the pastry coming, she didn't stuff it into her mouth as usual, but pushed it in front of the mandarin duck with a brush, and said very politely.
"Taste the mandarin ducks, these are delicious!" Even though she lowered her body to please the mandarin duck, the mandarin duck shook her head and politely ate a bite or two and stopped eating. This is extremely bad.
Why don't you eat it? Could it be that it tastes wrong? She hurriedly stuffed a few pieces of red bean cake into her mouth, and the rich and sweet taste instantly melted in her mouth, exactly the same as the delicious taste on weekdays. Duanyue, this is really the second zhang monk is confused, and he doesn't know how to amuse the mandarin duck after thinking about it.
Mandarin duck looked at the mountains of pastries piled up in front of him, and the burden in his heart became heavier, and he didn't know how to respond to Duanyue's affection. Fortunately, Mrs. Yu came, and when she heard her mother's voice, she hurriedly trotted to her side, hiding behind her as she had seen her on the first day.
