In the evening of late spring, the bright moon casts mottled shadows through the gaps between the trees, and the wind rustles the leaves. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"A drink and a peck, it's not predetermined." Mrs. Zhong said to the green pothos standing on the side.

The pothos agreed, and said, "What Madame said is very true," and said worriedly: "But the matter of Jasper ......"

At this time, someone outside reported: "Mother Yao and Mother Jiang are here!" Mrs. Zhong said, "I'll talk about it later." ”

Luluo nodded yes, and Mother Jiang was led by Mother Yao into the three rooms where Mrs. Zhong was sitting and resting in the banquet.

None of the servants in the room were there, and Mrs. Zhong sat on it, and Frost and Pothos stood on either side of the couch. Yao's mother knew that Mrs. Zhong must be talking to Shuang'er Luluo privately, she pretended not to know and asked Mrs. Zhong to say goodbye, Mrs. Zhong looked at Yao's mother and asked, "Are the nine girls' cages all in order?" ”

Yao's mother smiled: "Mrs., don't worry, the ninth girl's cage has been placed, and it will never be delayed to send it to Xie Mansion tomorrow." ”

Yao's mother is a mother who specializes in helping Mrs. Zhong manage the daily chores in Nan Qingxi's yard, and she is not ambiguous and procrastinating in her work.

Mrs. Zhong listened, but remembered that the little girl was scolded by Mrs. Nan, she has always been pampered, although she does not follow the discipline of the girl, but she has her own measure, and will never do anything to ask for people's lives, as soon as she thought of this, she suddenly felt sad, stunned for a long time, and raised herself to ask for tea and drank a small sip.

"This child is also a blessed child, and she suddenly got such a disease, and among my girls, she is the one who worries the most." As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel hurt and sobbed.

A few people in the room were busy trying to persuade her, and she got better.

"This old lady of the Xie family was originally my aunt, you have always known, this time the old lady sent someone to send your nine girls back to the house, passing by his house, my aunt got the news, so she wanted to keep her, my little girl suddenly suffered from an unknown disease, it was inconvenient to hurry, so she went to the Xie house. Mrs. Zhu was also kind-hearted, and when she saw that my girl was pale, she knew that she was suffering from a deficiency disease, and said that there was a famous doctor in Yangzhou who could cure her illness, and sent his son-in-law, housekeeper, and maid-in-law to inform me and her father-in-law. I also heard that there were many talented people in Yangzhou Prefecture, and I was optimistic that I could cure her illness, so I agreed. Unexpectedly, as soon as she accepted it, her father suddenly fell ill, and now he has written a letter to complain about his illness, and he is going back to his hometown to recuperate. ”

Mrs. Zhong said these words when she looked at Jiang's mother, who was originally the housekeeper mother in her hospital, and now she has been appointed as the housekeeper of her little girl Nan Qingxi.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhong was sincere, Mother Jiang hurriedly said: "What is Mrs. saying, it's too tormenting, it's my duty to take care of the girl, and it's also my honor to share my wife's worries, I can't ask God to worship Buddha." ”

Mrs. Zhong told again: "In any case, you went to Hangzhou Mansion and met the girl, the girl and all your expenses and expenses are paid from the family, and the daily expenses of the Zhong family cannot be collected. ”

Jiang's mother listened to it and agreed one by one and went.

"Sister Nan, Sister Nan-" Xie Yanzhu had already placed a few delicate refreshments and fruits on the kang table, came in with a bowl of medicine, sat on the edge of the couch, and was about to coax Nan Qingxi to drink.

Nanqing Xiwu was lying on the couch by the window, holding a scripture book in his hand, leaning on the pillow and looking at it attentively, just deaf to Xie Yanzhu's shouts.

Xie Yanzhu had no choice but to laugh and say, "Sister Nan, you can rest for a while, since Miaotongan came back, you have been reading books for a day, and you have broken your eyes carefully." Nan Qingxi raised her head to look at her, and called "sister" softly, her strength was still insufficient, and even her voice was floating.

Xie Yanzhu hurriedly said: "Sister Nan, let's drink the medicine first!" I personally watched it and brought it over. ”

Nan Qingxi's spirit today is much better than when she first came to her house, Xie Yanzhu looked at Nan Qingxi's face and couldn't help but think in her heart.

Nan Qingxi took it all, put down the book, turned around and pushed open the window, her eyes began to become hollow.

When Xie Yanzhu personally packed up the medicine bowl and came back, she saw her staring out of the window in a daze, and even screamed a few times, she didn't say a word, Xie Yanzhu was in a hurry when she saw her like this for the first time, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister Nan, sister-"

Linglong happened to come back from outside, walked to the door and heard Xie Yanzhu shouting loudly in the house, hurriedly walked over, hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in, "Girl, girl-"

Before the sound fell, I suddenly heard someone outside say, "The girl on the red note is back." ”

Xie Yanzhu's master and servant calmed down a lot at this time, and a red note voice came from outside, "Our girl is inside!" Before she finished speaking, people had already come in, and she saw Nan Qingxi on the couch with a blank expression, and the sour feeling hit her heart again.

Hongjian walked over and sat on the couch, hugged Nan Qingxi in his arms, whimpered, and said, "Girl-"

Linglong hurriedly went out and poured tea in, and the red note just waved her hand, so she had to bring the tea down again. The red note hugged Nan Qingxi tightly, and asked Xie Yanzhu in a slow voice: "Eighth girl, did our girl enter something today?" ”

Xie Yanzhu hung her head and was very frustrated, and replied: "After persuading all day today, Sister Nan still hasn't taken a drop of water, and her spirit doesn't seem to be very good, and she has been crooked, but she hasn't been sick like she is now. Linglong happened to come in and added, "Our girl just took care of Miss Nan and took the medicine. ”

Hongjian looked at Nan Qingxi and asked, "Do you know when our girl got sick?" ”

Xie Yanzhu said: "Not long before you came back, Sister Nan took the medicine, and I got sick again when I went to deliver the medicine bowl, but I only got sick this time today." ”

She emphasized once again that Nan Qingxi had only been sick once so far.

After listening to the words, Hongjian's face was happy, it seemed that her girl's condition had improved, and she was busy getting up and giving a blessing to Xie Yanzhu to thank her: "Thank you Miss Eight for taking care of my girl for me all day, Miss Eight must be very hard, please go back and rest early!" ”

Xie Yanzhu exchanged a few words with the red note, and carefully instructed her to say a few words, just to take care of Nan Qingxi and the like, and then went back with Linglong's help.

The red note hugged Nan Qingxi and said: "Girl, girl, the wife and the seventh young master wrote that the master is seriously ill, and they have to serve the old man and can't take a break, and they have already sent the maid and the woman and others to come to the Xie Mansion to take care of you for several days, you have to get better quickly." As he spoke, he couldn't help but take Nan Qingxi's hand and cry softly.

Nan Qingxi heard that his father was sick, although his mind was not yet conscious, but the corners of his eyes were unconsciously moist, tears were rolling in his eyes, and it didn't take long for his eyes to regain his former brilliance, and his expression returned to normal, crying: "Daddy! ”

The red note was slightly surprised, then turned surprise into joy, and said with a smile: "Girl, are you okay!" ”

Nan Qingxi saw that there were still tears on Hongjian's face, so she took a handkerchief to wipe her clean, and comforted her with gentle words: "Hongjian, don't worry, my body is going to be fine, and the injuries on my body are almost healed, you write a letter to the family for me, so that my mother and brother don't worry about me, and take good care of my father." ”

Hongjian held Nan Qingxi's hand and nodded, "Don't worry, girl, I will definitely handle this for you." The girl hasn't eaten for a day, is she hungry? ”

Nan Qingxi smiled and nodded, "If you don't say that I forgot, I am indeed hungry when you mention it." ”

Seeing that Nan Qingxi was refreshed when she was talking to herself, Hongjian also understood in her heart that her condition was getting better and better, so she was naturally comforted, and happily went to the small kitchen allocated by Xie Mansion to arrange Nan Qingxi's diet and made five or six exquisite side dishes for her, and served them while they were hot.
