Chapter 63: Qi Niang wakes up
"Pharmacist, I think the twenty-seventh of this month is a rare good day, why don't you settle the family affairs on that day?" Pei Ju sat in the living room of the Li Mansion, stroking the three wisps of white whiskers under his chin and smiling.
Since Li Jing agreed to the marriage of the two families, Pei Ju has been smiling from ear to ear, this marriage can be said to be beneficial and harmless to him, Li Jing is in the limelight in the army, and he is very valued by His Majesty, and Li Xiu is a young handsome man who has just risen, the prince and the king of Qin are vying to win over, so that the talent is a treasure wherever it is, and now he only needs to pay a daughter who is almost ignored by him, and he can bring Li Xiu's father and son over, is there anything more cost-effective in this world than this business?
"It's already the middle of the month now, isn't it a bit hasty to get engaged on the twenty-seventh?" Li Jing said with some hesitation when he heard this, it is not easier to marry than to marry, the bride price, the letter of appointment, etc. need to be specially prepared, and it is indeed a bit hasty to prepare for half a month.
"Don't be in a hurry, this marriage should have been decided more than a year ago, if it weren't for the pharmacist you Nanzheng, maybe the two of them would even have children, so don't worry too much about anything, it's important to get married as soon as possible!" Pei Ju said with a smile, the sooner this marriage is settled, he can also feel at ease as soon as possible.
Seeing that Pei Ju was so anxious, Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl glanced at each other, nodded and said, "What Pei Gong said also makes sense, since this is the case, it is set for the twenty-seventh ...... of this month."
Just before Li Jing's words were finished, he suddenly heard a big mess outside the living room, which made him frown, after all, there were guests at home, but it was a mess outside, it was too rude, and the red whisk girl next to her also stood up at this time, ready to go outside to see what the situation was?
But before the red whisk girl moved, she saw a "ball" rolled in outside the living room, to be exact, it should be a spherical person, only to see that the other party's waist circumference and height were almost the same, but the round head was full of blood, and the fat of the body shook like a wave when running, and shouted while running: "Master, madam, the big thing is not good, Wulang He snatched Qi Niang, and beat the slave and maid like this, begging the old man and lady to be the master of the slave and maid!" ”
"What?" Hearing this fat woman's report, Li Jing couldn't help but stand up in shock, and Mrs. Xing next to her asked even more eagerly, "Nurse, tell me what's going on?" ”
"The slave maid didn't know, as soon as he met Gorou in the inner house just now, he beat the slave and maid, and then he was going to forcibly take away Qi Niang, and the slave and maid naturally stepped forward to stop it, but he was beaten again, and he also said that he wanted to kill the slave and maid, at most, if he went to the government to fine some money......"
This fat woman has no other skills, but her ability to reverse black and white and change concepts is first-class, obviously she is a slave bully, but she put all the blame on Li Xiu, as for Qi Niang's imprisonment, she also concealed it, and with her bloody head, it is also very convincing.
"Bastard thing, who gave him such guts!" Li Jing was originally a little prejudiced against Li Xiu's son, if it wasn't for the red whisk girl who forced him just now, I'm afraid that the father and son would have fallen out again, and now when he heard that Li Xiu dared to beat someone, he didn't even take him as an old man in his eyes, which also made his anger surging up all of a sudden.
"Master is angry, I don't think Hugh Er is such a reckless person, is there any secret in this?" The Red Whisk Girl said with some disbelief at this time, although she found that Li Xiu had changed a lot after coming back this time, but she felt that with Li Xiu's character, she would never do such a thing for no reason!
"What's the secret, this kid has always been lawless, I have forgiven him once for what happened last time, this time I can't let him mess around like this anymore no matter what, where is the other person now?" Li Jing was also angry at this time, and he didn't listen to the words of the red whisk girl, and he just wanted to find Li Xiu and teach him a hard lesson!
There is also Pei Ju, a guest next to him, and the red whisk girl also wants to give Li Jing face, so it's not good to say anything. And at this time, I saw the fat woman below report again: "Master Qiqi, just now Gorou left after knocking down the slave maid, and I heard that he had broken out of the house, and I don't know where he went?" ”
"Why don't you go find it for me!" Li Jing yelled angrily again, and the people outside saw that Li Jing was so angry, and they also ran out to look for it one by one in a panic.
In fact, Li Xiu didn't go too far, in a medical hall diagonally opposite the Li Mansion, I saw him anxiously looking at the long-bearded doctor opposite who was diagnosing Qi Niang's pulse, and there was Ma Ye accompanying him, it was a coincidence, just now he went out of the Li Mansion, but met Ma Ye also rushed to help their father and son make peace, when he saw Li Xiu holding a little girl and broke out, Ma Ye was also startled, and then immediately took him to the medical hall to treat Qi Niang after asking about the situation.
I saw the doctor on the opposite side with one hand and his long beard with the other, looking quite calm, which also made Li Xiu have a little more confidence in him, and finally saw the doctor withdraw his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's just that I was frightened by hunger and cold, which caused the evil qi to enter the body and have some fever, wait until I prescribe medicine for her to drink, and it will be fine to sweat!" ”
Hearing the doctor say this, Li Xiu was relieved, and then asked the doctor to prescribe medicine, there was already a place for decoction in the medical hall, so Li Xiu planned to let Qi Niang drink the medicine here, and it was not too late to go back when the fever subsided, after all, he lived outside the city, and it was a little inconvenient to find a doctor.
"Okay, the doctor said it's okay, don't worry too much about you kid, but if you make such a fuss, I'm afraid it won't end well!" At this time, Ma Ye patted Li Xiu on the shoulder and said, he wanted to help Li Xiu's father and son make peace, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.
"If it doesn't end well, the field will be lifted, and everyone will break up!" Li Xiu still said angrily at this time, no matter what the result of today, he has to take Qi Niang away, and this is what he met today, he was not there for more than a year before, Qi Niang still doesn't know how many grievances he has suffered, it is distressing to think about it.
Hearing Li Xiu say this, Ma Ye shook his head helplessly, at this time Li Xiu was also angry, it is estimated that he will not listen to his words, not to mention that this matter is indeed the fault of Mrs. Xing, if Li Jing can justly punish that Mrs. Xing, Li Xiu may still forgive him, but if he can't give Li Xiu a satisfactory explanation, with Li Xiu's temper, I'm afraid it will really get to the point of breaking up.
The medicine was quickly boiled, Li Xiu brought it over and prepared to feed Qi Niang in person, just helped her up, only to see Qi Niang's long eyelashes tremble a few times, and then a pair of big eyes slowly opened, when he saw Li Xiu, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said weakly and with some surprise: "Brother, am I dreaming again?" ”
"Qi Niang, you didn't dream, be good, drink the medicine quickly!" Li Xiu was very happy when he saw Qi Niang wake up, and personally delivered the medicine to her mouth.
Qi Niang was still a little unsure whether the dream was still reality, and when she opened her mouth and drank the medicine, her little face immediately wrinkled and said, "It's so bitter!" ”
Stimulated by the bitter medicine, Qi Niang finally came to her senses, and hugged Li Xiu in surprise and shouted: "Brother, it's really you, woo~"
After all, Qi Niang was just a seven-year-old girl, and was locked up in the Buddha hall for a day and a night, and was very frightened, at this time, she suddenly saw Li Xiu, the dearest person in the world, and immediately hugged him and cried bitterly, Li Xiu also caressed her back lovingly, and kept comforting her mouth, and it took a long time for Qi Niang to calm down.
"Brother, I don't want to stay in the house anymore, the people in the house always bully me, I want to live with you!" Qi Niang sobbed at this time and hugged Li Xiu's arm and said, as if Li Xiu would leave as soon as she let go.
"Okay, let's never go back to live, Qi Niang will follow my brother in the future, and I will cook you a lot of delicious food then!" Li Xiu comforted in a gentle voice, and now Qi Niang's fair little face still has that red and swollen slap print, which makes Li Xiu feel extremely angry in addition to being distressed, his children are allowed to be bullied by their subordinates, a father like Li Jing is simply too unqualified!
"Brother lied, you can't even make a fire, how can you make me something to eat?" Qi Niang was a child after all, so she quickly diverted her attention at this time, and then pouted and protested dissatisfiedly to Li Xiu.
"Brother is not lying, I have learned a lot of skills during this time, not only will I cook a lot of delicious food, but also a lot of fun things, you will know when the time comes!" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Really?" Qi Niang was still a little skeptical.
"Of course, when did my brother lie to you?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"I've deceived a lot, last time you promised to tell me a story, but you fell asleep in the middle of the story, and you said you wanted to buy me paper kites, but then you didn't buy them, and ......"
Qi Niang counted the things that Li Xiu promised her but didn't do one by one, and the Ma Ye next to him couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, Li Xiu was full of embarrassment, he didn't remember these things in his mind at all, and it is estimated that the original Li Xiu had long forgotten it.
Finally waited until Qi Niang's count was finished, Li Xiu hurriedly made amends, and then coaxed her to drink the medicine, and the doctor of this medical hall kindly asked people to boil a bowl of porridge for Qi Niang, but Qi Niang was also hungry, and drank the porridge in a few bites, because the medicine prescribed by the doctor has the effect of calming the nerves, and it is easy to get sleepy when she is full, so Qi Niang quickly shrank into Li Xiu's arms a little sleepy, and it seems that she still wants to sleep.
But at this moment, the subordinates of the Li Mansion finally heard the news that Li Xiu was here, and quickly returned to the mansion to report, and Li Jing, who received the news, immediately went out of the mansion in a huff and went straight to the medical hall to kill!
