Cuiyu said angrily: "In the end, it's all those people's faults, it's clear that they bullied the girl and didn't have a brother!" Those people are so bad, and they are blatantly pregnant! Even the second girl can see it, don't look at the second girl's young age, but the second girl understands everything, I see, the second girl has always been very uneasy. Speaking of which, they are still of the same clan as the girl, and they are actually ......."

"Alas, I'd rather not have the existence of these clansmen...... Ning Ningqing sighed, then yawned again, and said: "Ah Zheng'er's car is slow and steady, and I'm sleepy." ”

"Maybe it's snowing, so it's slow." Jade echoed stupidly.

Ning Xia Qing glanced at Cuiyu, couldn't help laughing, didn't say anything, just lowered his eyes, and there was a deep meaning in his eyes. Cuiyu took off her cloak and carefully draped it on Ningxia Qing's body, saying, "If the girl is sleepy, sleep for a while, and when the time comes, I will tell the girl to get up." ”

Ning Xia Qing didn't answer, and was already asleep.

The snow has been falling for most of the day, it was all small, and suddenly it got bigger again, and the snow fell one after another, and the snowflakes danced in various postures in the air, or flying, or circling, or falling straight and fast, and falling to the ground, at this moment, everything was beautiful, all were silent, and the little broken carriage of the Ning family walked extremely steadily in such snow.

Sleeping in the carriage, Ningxia Qing must be a little uncomfortable, but she slept very deeply and soundly, maybe she was really tired, and she was reluctant to sleep at home and in the shop on weekdays, but only on the road could she finally settle down the heart that had been hanging for a long time.

In the corner of the curtain of the winter breeze, a naughty snowflake took the opportunity to float in, but it was quickly blasted out by the jade eyes that had been guarding, and the jade reached out and gently tucked Ning Ningqing's neckline to ensure that a trace of cold wind could not get in.

And behind the small broken carriage of the Ning family, a tightly wrapped black nanmu carriage always followed quietly.

The horses pulling the cart were two oily and slippery jujube horses, handsome and sturdy, and the hooves of the horses were silently beating on the snow. It didn't urge the car in front to move quickly, but followed silently. In such a cold and snowy day, the Ning family's carriage was slow, it was also slow, and the Ning family's carriage turned, and it also turned. Snowflakes fall on it, silently dressing it up.

Ah Zheng drove the car very slowly, very slowly, and when they arrived at Hua Cai Yuan, it took almost an hour, twice as long as when they went.

Cuiyu patted Ning Xia Qing lightly and shouted in a low voice: "Girl, girl, it's home......"

"Hmm......" Ning Xia Qing answered unconsciously from the depths of her throat, then opened her eyes, exhaled a few breaths, returned the cloak to Cuiyu, wiped the hair on both sides slightly, and then got out of the carriage, but saw that the black Nanmu carriage was slowly stopping behind her carriage.

She walked to the carriage, and Zhao Xiaobao was jumping down from the carriage, Ning Xia Qing couldn't help asking: "Cuiyu, didn't I say that you picked up people when you arrived at Jinhua Street, did you forget?" Why bother Gu Gongzi to take a long detour to send people to Huacaiyuan. ”

Gu Xuesong poked his head out of the carriage, and the purple fox fur cloak on his body made Gu Xuesong's complexion even whiter than ordinary people.

Gu Xuesong's slender fingers lifted the curtain of the car, and said to Ning Xia Qing with a smile: "Don't blame Cuiyu, Cuiyu is coming to pick up people according to what you said, I said that I will send people to the door." I heard that Jade said that you were asleep, and in that case, don't let this child get into your carriage and disturb your sleep. ”

Ning Ningqing's eyes were earnest, and he smiled lightly: "I remember that Gongzi is afraid of cold, this ice and snow, and Gongzi went around here for me, even if it is warm in the carriage, but I always have to suffer more bumps, but because I hurt Gongzi." ”

Gu Xuesong said gently: "It's okay. But the girl had just woken up, and came out of the carriage, and felt cold easily, so the girl had better go into the house quickly, and stop blowing the cold wind outside. ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, and then watched Gu Xuesong's carriage drive away from the other end of the alley, and Cuiyu whispered on the side: "Girl, Master Gu's carriage is no longer visible, let's enter the door." ”

Ning Xia Qing nodded, and then walked into the house, Ah Zheng followed her, although he didn't support her, but he kept stretching his arms to make a false support movement, as if he was on guard against her for sudden dizziness at any time.

And she only felt that her head was getting more and more dizzy, even if she didn't touch her forehead, she could feel that her face was getting hotter and hotter, and the pain all over her body was so severe that she could only bite her lip and endure it desperately.

When Cao, who didn't even have time to put on the cloak, walked to the door of Ningxia Qing's house, Cuiyu just came out of it with a curtain, and almost collided with Cao's hurried footsteps, Cuiyu hurriedly bowed her head and confessed, Cao didn't have time to listen to this, and walked past Cuiyu to Ningxia Qing's bedside, and Cuiyu hurriedly followed behind.

Ning Xia Qing could hear his mother's footsteps, quickly opened his eyes, rubbed his face to make himself look better, and then supported his arms and wanted to sit up, and before he could sit up, Cao Shi had already hurried in.

"What the hell is going on? Really sick? Cao sat on the edge of Ning Ningqing's bed, his eyebrows furrowed, and his tone was a little high, obviously angry.

"Didn't I think I was really sick...... "Ning Xia Qing quibbled without blushing and heartbeat, trying to shirk responsibility.

"When you went out in the morning, I said that your face was wrong, and you lied to me that it was because you didn't wipe the fat powder well, so your face didn't look right." Cao Shi said as he stretched out his index finger and scraped it on Ning Ningqing's face, put his index finger in front of Ning Ningqing's eyes, and said, "Tell me, where is the fat powder on your face!" ”

"When I just came back, I washed ...... Washed off ......" Ningxia Qing pulled the jade and said, "Isn't it?" However, Jade shook her head very honestly.

Cao Shi immediately glanced at Ning Ningqing, sighed, and said, "You kid...... No matter how important the business is, can the body be important? If you do this again in the future, I will not allow you to do business, and our shop will be closed, and we will live our own ordinary life. The old lady also said that she and I are going to leave anyway, and our family only needs to leave a dowry for your Zi'er. ”

"I will definitely not be like this in the future......" Ningxia Qing replied honestly.

"Hmph, I don't know you yet? Say one thing in front of me, and actually do another thing yourself. You're trying to worry me about death, aren't you? After Cao's counting, he turned his head to look at Cuiyu and asked Cuiyu, "When will the doctor come?" ”

Cuiyu replied: "Ah Zheng has already gone to ask for a doctor, and the medical hall is at the corner of the street, so it is estimated that it will arrive soon." ”

Cao's brows furrowed: "Ah Zheng went to the Sun Medical Hall at the corner of the street?" How can this work? The medical hall was so small, and the doctor's hands were shaking when he wrote the prescription. Why don't you invite the doctor from the big medical hall to come? Cao Shi turned his head and said, "Cuiyu, you go to the Lingzhi Hall on the edge of the county government and invite the best doctor there." ”

"Wait......" Ning Xia Qing cried and laughed and said: "Mother, haven't our family always looked for Dr. Sun, Dr. Sun is just a little old, but he has superb medical skills and rich experience, and you have always asked him to help you see a doctor and adjust your body, why don't you suddenly believe Dr. Sun?" ”

"If it is an ordinary disease, Dr. Sun can indeed cure it well, but is it an ordinary disease?" Cao Shi touched Ning Ningqing's forehead and said, "You have burned like this, what if you don't do your best to cure it, what if you fall into the root of the disease?" Don't you remember that you had a distant cousin who had a fever in his teens and then he was gone? ”

Ningxia Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Mother...... I'm not going to get sick, my own body knows it, so don't worry......"

Cao's eyebrows were raised, he was angry and anxious, and said bitterly: "I am your mother, you are the meat that fell from my body, you are so sick, how can I not worry......" Before Cao finished speaking, he heard a voice of double happiness and gasping outside the door: "Second girl...... Second girl...... Run slower...... Wait for me ......"

Cao Shi hurriedly wiped the tears that were about to fall from the corners of his eyes, but before he could even put down his hand, a round rumbling ball wearing a small moon-white dark cloak rushed in, and excitedly shouted: "Sister, sister, are you back?" Listen to me, oh, I drew a ......."

Ning Xia Zi's excited cry instantly wilted when he saw that Cao Shi was also here, holding a piece of ghost-like paper in his hand, and it was not put away, nor was it if he didn't put it away.

Cao Shi looked at Ningxia Zi, the mother and daughter confronted each other, and Shuangxi chased in from behind out of breath, and said "Second girl, slow down" while running, but when she saw Cao, she also wilted.

Cao Shi laughed angrily and said, "You two sisters are going to be angry with me, aren't you?" ”

Ning Xia Qing smirked a few times, but Cao Shi ruthlessly poked Ning Ningqing's forehead and said angrily: "You, you have to be strong!" Then he looked at Ningxia Zi and said, "And you!" Didn't you promise me at lunch that you would take a nap after lunch? What's going on? Why did you run out again? ”

Ningxia Zi didn't dare to look at Cao's family, nor did she dare to answer Cao's question, so she pitifully went around to Ningxia Qing's side, hid away from Cao's family, and whispered for help: "Sister ......"

Ning Xia Qing laughed a few times, and when Cao Shi saw this, he glanced at Ning Xia Zi again, and complained to Ning Xia Qing: "You, don't you know, your sister is really getting more and more skinny." ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled and became a peacemaker: "How come? Aren't you learning to draw? Learning to paint is the quietest, how can you be skinny? Ningxia Qing took Zi'er's work from Zi'er's hand, and asked Zi'er with a smile: "Our Zi'er is the most well-behaved, right?" ”

"Yes." Zi'er replied without blushing and heartbeat, and glanced at Cao, but quickly withdrew her small eyes with a weak heart.

Cao Shi glanced at the drawing paper in Ning Ningqing's hand, snorted, and said, "She's still good?" Ask her what she drew about it. ”

Ning Xia Qing looked at the drawing paper, and really didn't see what Zi'er was drawing, so she couldn't help asking: "Zi'er, tell me, what is this?" ”

Zi'er said proudly: "This is the big white goose!" ”

"Goose?" Ningxia Qing was very confused: "Zi'er still knows geese?" ”

"I don't know." Cao said indignantly to Ningxia Qing: "When it was almost winter, the cook raised a few geese in the kitchen and stewed them for the New Year. As a result, your sister runs to see the geese every day! ”

"Zi'er ran to see the goose?" Ningxia Qing was unbelievable. Zi'er used to be the most well-behaved and sensible, even so well-behaved that she was timid, and she didn't even dare to step forward when she saw a swallow, for fear that the swallow would talk about her, why did she dare to go to see the goose now?

Cao said: "It's not! Or how can I say she's getting skinny! Not only did she watch, but she also took advantage of the cook's inattention, stole a goose with Shuangxi and went back, and painted according to it, and as a result, she fought with the goose. Don't look at the goose didn't grow up, but it was very fierce, chasing them and biting, and the two little girls were chased by the geese and ran all over the yard, not to mention how lively! ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help laughing. She has been too busy lately, she didn't know that such an interesting thing had happened at home, Zi'er is really, no wonder she made the Cao family angry like this.

Ning Xia Qing touched Zi'er's little head, and saw that Zi'er's braids were loose, it seemed that Cao's words were really good.

Zi'er is really getting naughty and naughty!

Ning Ningqing tightened Zi'er's braids while asking with a smile: "You painted a big white goose today, is it because you finally won the battle with the goose?" ”

"No, I stole some food from the kitchen today and fed it to the goose, and the goose just stood there and let me draw." Zi'er smiled: "Sister, look, I'm smart, right?" ”

Ning Ningqing said with a smile: "On this cold day, you just stand outside to paint, and you are not afraid of freezing your hands." Ningxia Qing finished Zi'er's braids, continued to rub Zi'er's unkempt hair, and said, "You are not allowed to fight with geese in the future, what if that goose goes crazy and hurts you?" Got it? ”

Zi'er nodded, Cao Shi sighed on the side, and said helplessly: "If only she could really remember......"

Ning Xia Qing smiled and comforted: "Mother, Zi'er just likes to paint, in fact, painting is not a bad thing, it doesn't mean that girls from big families can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I can't do it in my life, so ah, I really hope that Zi'er can be the same." ”

"If you want to learn, close the shop, and my mother will hire a gentleman to teach you." Cao Shi said seriously: "You are a girl anyway, it is better to learn this than to do business, no one will make irresponsible remarks about you because of this." ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled indifferently and said, "I don't care what others say, I don't care for a long time." Besides, I don't want to learn that, but I really like to do business. ”

Ning Xia Qing touched Zi'er's head and said, "But I did think about inviting Mr. I thought that since Zi'er likes to draw, it would be good to hire a gentleman to teach her in the future. ”

Cao Shi was stunned and muttered, "I didn't think about this...... If you want to learn, your mother can invite you to ask your husband, but she is different from you, my mother is worried, the child is not qualitative, she will not like to learn after two days. ”

Ningxia Qingwen said calmly: "Don't worry, mother, this matter is not in a hurry, let's take a look, if Zi'er really likes to paint all the time, let's think about it again." ”

"I'll always like it." Zi'er suddenly whispered.

"Huh?" Ning Xia Qing looked down at Zi'er and asked, "So you want to invite Mr. to come to the house?" ”

Zi'er bit her lip and said, "I don't want to, I want to go out to study and learn to paint." ”

"You want to go to school?" Ningxia Qing was unexpected.

Zi'er nodded seriously and said, "My sister goes out every day, and I want to go out every day like my sister." ”

At this moment, there was the sound of people walking outside the door, and Cao Shi hurriedly hugged Zi'er over, took the big white goose in Ningxia Qing's hand and painted by Zi'er, and said to Zi'er: "Okay, the doctor is going to see my sister, you hurry up and give me an honest back nap." ”

"Seeing a doctor? What kind of disease to see? Zi'er asked with her big round eyes.

"It's okay, it's just a little cold." Ningxia Qing replied with a smile.

After a while.

The trembling Doctor Sun finally finished writing the prescription, Cao talked to Doctor Sun in the outhouse, and was confirming Ningxia Qing's situation with Doctor Sun, Zi'er had already been driven back to the house by Cao to take a nap, and Cuiyu took the prescription to find Ah Zheng.

When Jade arrived, Ah Zheng was standing at the gate of the courtyard, as if he was waiting to leave at any time.

The snow kept falling, and it didn't show anything on his fish-belly-white cotton jacket, but it was the snowflakes that fell on his hair that made it clear how long he had been standing here.

Cuiyu handed the prescription to Ah Zheng, but before she could speak, Ah Zheng asked first, "What's the situation with the girl?" ”

"The girl is fine, the wife and the second girl came to see before, and then Dr. Sun came to visit, and now the girl is asleep." Cuiyu pointed to Ah Zheng and said: "There are a few uncommon flavors of medicine prescribed by Dr. Sun, and it is estimated that there are no pharmacies around our house, so Dr. Sun asked you to go directly to the Lingzhi Hall next to the county government to buy medicine." ”

Ah Zhenghu asked suspiciously: "Isn't it wind cold?" Isn't this a very common disease? How could such a rare drug be used? ”

"Alas......" Cuiyu immediately said with a sad face: "Where is the wind cold, Doctor Sun said, the girl's disease is born and tired, but it can't be treated according to the wind cold." Dr. Sun also said that the girl has been staying up so much these days that she has been boiling herself to the point of great injury, so Dr. Sun has prescribed a lot of warm and nourishing medicinal materials in this recipe. ”

Cuiyu complained: "Really, the girl doesn't know how to cherish herself, I look at it every day, and I'm going to die in a hurry......" Cuiyu almost cried as she spoke, and then instructed: "Go and get medicine for the girl, Mrs. said, let you drive the carriage, and let you come back early!" ”

Ah Zheng nodded, and then walked out while thinking about the recipe, the carriage of the Ning family stopped outside the courtyard, he hadn't driven the car into the alley before, he jumped directly into the carriage and was about to whip it, but suddenly felt that the car was a little wrong.

Ah Zheng lifted the curtain and saw a round ball shrinking in the car.

Ah Zheng jumped out of the car, hugged his arms, leaned on the wheel, and asked with a smile, "What are you doing?" ”

Ning Xia Zi blinked her eyes and asked seriously, "You're going to buy medicine for your sister, right?" ”

"Hmm." Ah Zheng nodded, and comforted him casually: "Don't worry, your sister is fine, just rest and rest, you can go back quickly." ”

Ning Ningqing's eyes lowered, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Ah Zheng smiled: "What are you going to do?" How? Are you afraid I'll buy the wrong medicine? Ah Zheng took out the prescription and held it up to Ning Ningqing's eyes and asked, "Do you recognize the words on this prescription?" Want to follow me over? ”

Zi'er pursed her small mouth and didn't squeak.

Ah Zheng put away the prescription and asked with a smile: "You also said that you have the money and plan to pay for it?" ”

Zi'er fought back this time: "I have silver." ”

Ah Zheng was a little surprised: "Where do you have the silver?" ”

"I've always saved my New Year's money, and there's a lot of it!" Zi'er said proudly.

Ah Zheng finally knew that this little baby was serious, and he was a little helpless, so he smiled and reached out to hug Zi'er and get out of the car, saying, "You don't need to take the money, my wife will give me the money." Hurry back and don't make a fuss. ”

Zi'er dodged Ah Zheng's arm and said reluctantly: "I know that my mother will give you money, but I don't want to use the New Year's money to buy medicine." ”

Ah Zheng temporarily withdrew his arm, frowned slightly and asked, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Zi'er whispered: "My sister will feel bitter when she takes medicine, I want to go with you to buy marzipan for my sister." ”

Ah Zheng laughed and teased her: "Alas, you have really become bolder, and you dare to go out without telling adults?" ”

Zi'er avoided Ah Zheng's questioning and said, "My sister likes to eat marzipan, I want to buy some for my sister." My sister has been so tired lately, and the days are too hard, and I want to buy candy for my sister to eat. My sister is usually willing to spend money on us, but she is not willing to spend money on herself, and she doesn't even buy marzipan. ”

Ah Zheng looked at Zi'er, feeling a little uncomfortable for Ningxia Qing in his heart, and moved for Ningxia Qing, but he pretended to be fine, and said to Zi'er: "Isn't it marzipan?" I was going to buy some sweets for your sister too, don't worry, I'll remember to buy marzipan, so you can go home quickly. ”
