Chapter 441: Hong Yan
Ye Qinglan listened absentmindedly, frowning slightly.
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the wind and snow were mixed and the weather was cold, but Gu Xinian rode back and forth to toss, and it was inconvenient to wear a big hat when he climbed over the wall, so he must have suffered from the wind and cold. So when I got back, I fell ill.
Do it yourself! Ye Qinglan thought about it with a lot of anger, but when she thought of Gu Xinian's pale and handsome face lying on the bed weakly, she was a little soft-hearted and distressed......
Ye Qingning saw that she didn't say anything, and pulled her sleeve with a little dissatisfaction: "Hey, did you hear what I said?" Cousin Gu is sick, why don't you react at all. β
His admiration for Gu Xinian has long been a thing of the past, but Ye Qingning always pays special attention to Gu Xinian, and he is worried when he hears that he is sick. Looking at Ye Qinglan, the person who should be most anxious and worried, but she looked indifferent, Ye Qingning was suddenly dissatisfied in her heart.
Ye Qinglan came back to her senses and spread her hands: "What do you think I should do?" I'm not a doctor, I can't cure him, and I can't go out of the house to see him. β
β¦β¦ That being said, it's too much to be so cold! How can there be a little bit of fiancΓ©e consciousness! Ye Qingning glanced at her a few times and asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't you be having trouble with Cousin Gu?" β
Ye Qinglan denied without changing her face: "How is this possible." I didn't have a chance to meet him at all, so how could I have an awkward relationship. "Anyway, no one else knows about Gu Xinian coming to her in the middle of the night, so this sentence is justified.
Ye Qingning was really fooled, and he held back for a long time before saying, "Then you should also look a little anxious and worried!" β
Ye Qinglan was as kind as a stream: "I'm very worried and anxious now, but I just can't bear it and don't come out." Don't look at the smile on my face, it's actually very uncomfortable. β
Ye Qingning: "......" she can be sure now. Ye Qinglan is trying to tease her.
Sure enough, Ye Qinglan burst out laughing. Ye Qingning pounced and tickled with his teeth and claws. He also shouted: "Okay, you, you dare to tease me." Look at me for not being able to clean you up today! β
After a bit of frolic, this topic was naturally put aside.
After Ye Qingning left, Ye Qinglan's smile faded, and after thinking for a moment, she specially called Ruomei over: "Ruomei, let me ask you, is Cousin Gu sick?" β
Ruomei cautiously observed Ye Qinglan's complexion, and replied in a low voice: "The slave maid has just learned about this matter, and she is hesitating whether to report it to the young lady......
Although I don't know what the prince and the young lady said that night. But one thing is obvious, the prince and the young lady must have had a quarrel, so they broke up unhappily. You can see it from the reaction of the young lady that day. It is precisely because of this that she did not dare to tell Miss SΓΉ about her son's illness in time.
Ye Qinglan was silent for a moment before she whispered, "I'll go write a letter, and you will pass it to him for me." β
Ruomei's eyes lit up, and she responded in high spirits.
Ye Qinglan went to the study with a calm expression, and after a while, she took out a letter that had been sealed, Ruomei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly put the letter away. Then he used a code to recruit his companions outside the house, and specially advised: "This is a letter written by the young lady to the prince herself, and it must be sent to the prince as soon as possible." β
The guard hurriedly replied and put the letter away. Then he turned over his horse and galloped all the way to the back door of the Dingguo Mansion. Then, give the letter to the guard guarding the back door. Then this escort will be sent to Izumoken. From the time Ye Qinglan wrote this letter to the time it reached Gu Xinian's hands, it was exactly two hours.
The rumored "not lightly" Gu someone. At this time, he was sitting lazily at his desk, rubbing the envelope in his hand. There was also a pair of unfinished words on the table.
Gu Xinian looked at the letter in his hand, and a smile flashed in his eyes. This trick really works......
When he came back that night, he did have some cold. The next day, it was true that he insisted on going to the emperor and queen to say goodbye. However, when you come back, it will be good to drink two bowls of decoction to ward off the cold and sleep again. He pretended to be seriously ill, claiming that he wanted to recuperate in peace, and he had been staying in Izumo Xuan for the past few days. As expected, such news spread quickly, and it also reached Ye Qinglan's ears in a roundabout way. The hard-mouthed and soft-hearted girl was busy worrying about his condition and wrote a letter to send it, so the previous anger should have almost disappeared......
Thinking of this, Gu Xinian couldn't help but sigh secretly. When did the dignified Gu Sigongzi rely on this unpopular trick to coax people?
Gu Xinian secretly sighed and felt nostalgic, and happily unfolded the letter. The handwriting on the letter is not pretty, at most it is neat, and the content is dry and unsightly, only a few sentences.
I heard from the sixth sister that you have been sick for many days, drink medicine well and get better as soon as possible.
Gu Xinian read the letter back and forth several times, and the corners of his lips were raised. Suddenly, he shouted, "Quanfu, come in." Quan Fu entered in response and asked diligently: "What did the young master tell the slaves?" β
Gu Xinian said indifferently: "I haven't drunk the medicine today, let people hurry up and boil the medicine." β
Quanfu, who has always been clever, couldn't help but open his mouth wide in astonishment when he heard this command, and forgot to close it for a long time. The young master pretended to be sick and pretended to be too involved! What kind of medicine should I drink?
Gu Xinian saw that he didn't move, and glanced at him lightly: "What's the matter, don't you understand what I said?" β
Quan Fu was calm, so he had to respond with a smile. Fortunately, in the past few days, the palace and the prince's mansion have sent a lot of tonics, and if you boil some casually, you can treat it as a tonic for the young master.
Quanfu cheered up, personally boiled the tonic and brought it in. Tonic is also medicine, and of course it doesn't taste much better. But seeing that the young master's face did not change, he drank it one by one. The corners of his lips kept smiling.
After serving the young master for many years, Quan Fu could naturally see that the young master's mood at the moment was really good.
How could the tonic he boiled have such an effect? Quanfu was deeply moved, and decided to boil medicine by hand every day in the future, three meals a day, and never be lazy!!
β¦β¦
The next day, when Ruomei came to serve Ye Qinglan to change clothes, she quietly stuffed a note into Ye Qinglan's hand. Ye Qinglan quietly retracted her hand into her sleeve. I didn't take it out until I was alone.
Madame has a life, how dare she disobey.
β¦β¦ I didn't stop when I was sick, and I even teased her!
Ye Qinglan spat at the note, but a smile unconsciously appeared in her eyes. The sulking that had been caused by the quarrel that night quietly subsided a lot. After thinking about it, I wrote another reply.
Recuperate with peace of mind and less crankiness. Don't be lazy when you drink medicine every day.
Gu Xinian, who received the reply again, smiled proudly and satisfied. On the same day, when I drank the tonic medicine, my expression became softer.
The young master actually likes his tonic so much! Quan Fu was moved, and made another heavy decision. Double the amount of tonic medicine!!
β¦β¦
The next day, Gu Xinian absentmindedly drank the Ten Perfection Tonic Soup concocted by Quanfu himself, not paying attention to how abnormal the almost weird color in the medicine bowl was. As soon as the medicine was entered, Gu Xinian's face suddenly changed, and he glanced at Quanfu deeply.
Quan Fu replied with a loyal and confident smile: "Young master, the slave specially added a few more tonics today, and the effect is definitely much better than yesterday......"
Gu Xinian swallowed the medicine in his mouth expressionlessly, and then gritted his teeth and scolded coldly: "Quanfu!" Where are you headed? Where do you see that I'm weak and need tonics? You can't just make some tonic medicine and make a show, don't you? What to do with so many tonics. Bring it out to me! β
Quanfu was scolded and stunned, and he didn't dare to defend with a bitter face. Honestly, he took the medicine bowl and was about to go out.
At this moment, Gu Xiyu came. She looked at the medicine bowl in Quanfu's hand, and asked puzzledly, "Quanfu, this is the eldest brother's medicine!" You don't serve your eldest brother to drink medicine, why did you take the medicine bowl away? β
Quan Fu didn't know how to answer, and secretly glanced at Gu Xinian out of the corner of his eye.
Gu Xinian's mind was racing. In order to pretend to be patient, he even hid his family in the dark. If Gu Xiyu knew about him pretending to be sick, he would be exposed to Ye Qinglan's girl in the future......
Gu Xinian was ruthless, and said loudly: "Quanfu, I thought the medicine was too hot just now, and I plan to let it go for a while before drinking." Why did you take the medicine away again, and why didn't you bring it back soon? β
Quanfu: "......"
Silently brought the medicine bowl back, Quan Fu watched Gu Xinian finish the medicine with a calm expression. It's almost messy in the wind.
Young master, you're actually still sick! It's just that the sick place is not the body......
After drinking the big bowl of tonic with a strange color and even more strange taste, the corners of Gu Xinian's mouth twitched slightly. Immediately, he put the medicine bowl on the table as if nothing had happened. Quanfu was very clever this time, and hurriedly packed up the medicine bowl and retreated.
Gu Xiyu leaned over with concern and asked, "Big brother, are you feeling better?" β
Gu Xinian smiled and replied casually: "It's better, but it's still a little weak." It seems that it will take a few more days to recuperate. "You don't have to go out to socialize every day, just hide in the yard leisurely, read books, practice calligraphy, and drink some tonic or something, in fact, this kind of day is not bad! The most important thing is that there is a letter from Ye Qinglan every day......
Gu Xiyu naturally couldn't guess that so many thoughts flashed through Gu Xinian's mind, and she said bitterly: "Eh, what should I do?" Cousin Ning also asked me to go to the street to see the lanterns on the day of the Yuan Festival! I've promised her, and I was going to let you come with us. At that time, Cousin Lan will also go, and it will be more lively when there are more people. But you're not in good health now, so you definitely can't go. It's not interesting for me to go alone. Otherwise, let someone sue Cousin SΓΉ Ning, and I won't go......"
"Wait!" After hearing that Ye Qinglan would also go, Gu Xinian immediately said: "There are still a few days before the Shangyuan Festival, and I will be almost in good health by then." It's definitely no problem to accompany you to see the lanterns. (To be continued......)
