Chapter 220: Call Me Qinglian
Li Xiuwen hurriedly walked through the arch and entered the courtyard, and the maid He'er threw him behind him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The little girl couldn't run away from her, so she could only look at his back and mutter: "The young master is really strange, he ignores people on weekdays, and he will be more anxious than anyone else." ”
When Li Xiuwen came to the door of Dong Xiaowan's room, he happened to see a maid coming out of it. He grabbed the maid's arm and asked, "How is it, have you gone to get a doctor?" ”
He was in a hurry, and the strength in his hand was a little heavier, and it hurt to grab the little girl's arm.
The maid endured the sharp pain in her arm and replied, "Back to the master, Xiu'er has already gone out to ask for a doctor." ”
Previously, the names of the subordinates were rather chaotic. This one called Yang Yuxuan the young lady, and the other called Li Xiuwen the master, and everyone called each of them their own names.
Li Xiuwen felt that since he was in the capital, it would be better for his subordinates to call him his lord directly, although it sounded older, it was convenient to call him unified. For his own wives, he asked his subordinates to enter the door in order and called them "Mrs."
You can't just call yourself a lady outside, but in your own home, it's okay to call it that. Concubines are generally called "aunt and wife", and Li Xiuwen felt awkward, so he didn't want to use this title.
Of course, the only people who don't need to change their names are the two big girls, He'er and Cui'er.
Sensing the pained expression on the little girl's face, Li Xiuwen quickly let go of him and said, "The master is in a hurry for a while, but he scratches you." ”
If it was Li Xiuwen in the past, he would apologize to his subordinates. Now that he has basically settled into the times, he would not make such a move.
It's not that he looks down on his subordinates, but that he wants to follow the customs.
Li Xiuwen raised his hand and knocked on the door, and after a while, Dong Bai came over and opened the door.
Seeing that it was Li Xiuwen standing at the door, Dong's mother hurriedly stepped aside and invited him in.
Dong Xiaowan was lying on the kang at this time, covered with a thick quilt. Seeing Li Xiuwen come in, she also thought about getting up and saluting, so Li Xiuwen stopped her.
From Dong Xiaowan's pale face, Li Xiuwen could see that she was very weak now.
In fact, yesterday, Dong Xiaowan's face was not very good. Li Xiuwen met her when he went out, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, just said something to let her rest more and went out.
"How did you get sick like this?" Li Xiuwen asked.
"With Lao Gongzi care, Xiao Wan should just be a little cold, and there is no big problem."
Dong Xiaowan said with a smile. She is really happy in her heart, at least, the other party will still worry about herself, and that is enough.
Li Xiuwen frowned when he heard this, and he had some doubts in his heart. Although Dong Xiaowan is a native of Jiangnan, it is common for him to catch a cold during this change of season.
However, she seemed to be very sick, and it should never be the only reason.
An imperial doctor of Tai Hospital happened to live near the Li family's house. Knowing that someone in the family of this Tongzhi was sick, he naturally hurried over.
After saluting Li Xiuwen, he gave Dong Xiaowan a pulse.
The work of this diagnosis is carried out with a handkerchief on the wrist. At this time, men and women are paid attention to defense, and the hands of the daughter's family cannot be touched casually.
What the? Doctors are genderless? Do you believe it?
Walking out of the house, Li Xiuwen called the maid just now and asked, "Why did Miss Xiaowan suddenly fall ill?" ”
"This ......"
When the maid heard her ask about this, she immediately fell to her knees, and finally fell to her knees with a "poof", and spoke with a crying voice: "The old man spares his life, Miss Xiaowan is too tired to fall ill." Every time she rushes to do the work that our subordinates have to do, the maid has been persuading her, but she refuses to listen to the servant. ”
"You get up first, I don't mean to blame you."
Li Xiuwen said this, then walked to the courtyard alone and stood with his hands in his hands.
He vaguely remembered that Dong Xiaowan in history died of illness because of overwork.
Li Xiuwen also thought that Dong Xiaowan married into a Mao family as a concubine, and was bullied by the wife of Mao Bijiang's main family, so she would have such an ending. Now it seems that it is due to her temperament.
Back in the house, the imperial doctor happened to have finished the diagnosis. The result of his diagnosis was overwork and external cold.
Fortunately, the disease was not too serious, he just told Dong Xiaowan not to work too hard in the future, and then he prescribed a prescription and got up to leave.
Li Xiuwen instructed the maid to grab the medicine, and he personally sent the imperial doctor out and gave the other party a generous consultation fee.
When Dong Baishi saw him returning, he said that he went to prepare the decoction and left. She realized that maybe this was her daughter's chance, so why would she stay in the room and get in the way?
Li Xiuwen made a cold face and said to Dong Xiaowan in a deep voice: "When did I say that you were allowed to do the work of the next person?" ”
"I ......"
Dong Xiaowan thought that he would say some words of condolence, but he didn't expect to teach himself a lesson with a straight face, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Li Xiuwen saw that she didn't answer, and realized that his tone was too much, so his face softened: "Don't do those inferior things in the future, if you let me know again, I will ...... I will punish those who are ignorant. ”
Dong Xiaowan suddenly laughed, laughing and laughing, leaving tears.
These are happy tears, she knows that Li Xiuwen is caring about herself. Just two ordinary sentences like this are enough to make her happy.
Li Xiuwen was a little distressed when he saw it. It is undeniable that he likes Dong Xiaowan in his heart. This girl is too good to herself, silently helping herself take care of the business of the restaurant, but she has no complaints.
It's just that Li Xiuwen has always regarded her as his sister. Although he knew her affection for him, he was not very willing to wronged her, so he treated her as if she were his sister.
In his opinion, a girl like Dong Xiaowan doesn't need to be a concubine for herself at all. Although she has a bad background, it's okay to marry a good man, right? What's the problem?
Li Xiuwen hesitated for a while before he spoke: "There are already a lot of women around me. ”
This sentence has no beginning or end, but Dong Xiaowan understands it. She said: "As long as you can follow the son, whether you can be a shopkeeper or a maidservant, Xiaowan is willing!" ”
Everyone else said so, what else could he say?
At this moment, Li Xiuwen finally made up his mind to face up to this feeling.
He sat on the edge of the kang, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Dong Xiaowan's eyes, and said with a smile: "Qinglian, whatever you want in the future, I will give you anything!" Of course, if you asked me to pick the stars in the sky for you, I wouldn't be able to do it. ”
He called me Qinglian?
When Dong Xiaowan heard this, she couldn't believe her ears for a while, and just looked at him in a daze.
Li Xiuwen has always felt that her eyes are like being able to speak. Every time she looks at it like this, she will unconsciously want to avoid it, except this time.
He leaned down and kissed Dong Xiaowan's forehead. (To be continued.) )
