Chapter 144, Confused

This is the first time Zeng Rong has come to the door since Laba, originally thought that half a month had passed, Qin Chuxue's knee should have healed, but as soon as she entered the door, she smelled a strong smell of decoction, Zeng Rong's heart tightened, and he didn't care to ask Xiaocui, and hurriedly lifted the door curtain and entered the east room, Qin Chuxue was still sitting on the kang, unlike last time, this time she leaned her back against the wall, two futons were padded at the back waist, and a half-volume book and a stack of cut straw paper and a set of cups were placed on the desk next to her.

Seeing Zeng Rong, Qin Chuxue was busy trying to drive her away, "I'm cold, if I give you the sickness during the New Year, it will be bad, be obedient, I'll be better in a few days, and you will come back." ”

"How can you get a cold? Are your knees well? Zeng Rong didn't retreat, but took a few steps forward and sat on the edge of the kang.

"Why are you disobedient, boy?" Qin Chuxue said anxiously and annoyedly, and there was no lack of concern.

"Auntie, when I was sick, my aunt not only brought me here to raise me but also took care of me personally, then my aunt was not afraid of being sick, and now that my aunt is sick, if I run away because I am afraid of being sick, what will happen to me? Could it be that my aunt wished... ”

Before Zeng Rong finished speaking, Qin Chuxue suddenly coughed eagerly, Zeng Rong hurriedly took off his cotton robe and climbed onto the kang, took out two pieces of straw paper from the kang table and handed them to Qin Chuxue, I wanted to give her the water cup, but it was cold to the touch, and when I was about to take the water cup to the kang, Xiaocui came in.

"Is there honey?" Zeng Rong asked, handing over the water glass.

Cui shook her head.

"Forget it, let's get some hot water first."

After Qin Chuxue stopped coughing and drank a few sips of warm water, Zeng Rong handed over his silk handkerchief, Qin Chuxue didn't pay attention, took the silk handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and then asked, "What is the use of honey?" ”

"It's a bit of a relief when you cough."

"The slave will go to them to help buy some." Xiao Cui said busily when she heard this.

"That's it, take the medicine, don't bother." Qin Chuxue stopped Xiao Cui.

"By the way, today is a small year, the stove room wants to invite the stove prince, there must be rice candy, why don't I go to the stove room to ask for it." Zeng Rong thought of another way.

In her hometown, there is a custom of soaking rice sugar cakes in water to drink to treat cough, and this custom was also brought to the capital by the Xu family.

"You don't have to ask for it, we also have it here, and we also invited the Lord of the Stove." Xiao Cui turned around and went out after speaking.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or if it really works, in short, after drinking rice sugar water, Qin Chuxue didn't cough for a while, and she had the strength to talk to Zeng Rong, first blaming Zeng Rong for not taking out her silk handkerchief for her to use, saying that she was a patient and it was easy to give Zeng Rong her illness.

"It's just a silk handkerchief, could it be that my aunt isn't worth a silk handkerchief?" Zeng Rong replied with a smile.

"You kid, just leave this silk handkerchief and give it to me, don't take it back, I'll give you two new ones when I go back." Qin Chuxue shook her head and smiled, "I was also confused for a while, and I didn't turn a corner." ”

"Auntie is not confused, aunt cares too much about Sister Ah Rong." Xiao Cui saw her master smile, and she rarely made a joke.

"Oh, Sister Xiaocui is jealous, how can this be good?" After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled, took out two new purses, one large and one small, from his sleeve pocket, and picked a small one for Xiaocui, "This is for Sister Xiaocui, just when I make amends to Sister Xiaocui." ”

"Oops, what a cute bunny." Xiao Cui saw the two rabbits on the purse, and her eyes lit up.

"I'll see." Qin Chuxue also came over.

"This is a New Year's gift for my aunt, I hope my aunt likes it, and I hope my aunt will be safe and happy in the coming year." Zeng Rong handed the other big hand to the other party.

This purse is gourd-shaped, peach-colored, and the two rabbits on it are white, pure white, walking side by side, male and female, with four words embroidered with gold thread, "Peace and Joy".

"Why rabbits? Isn't next year the Year of the Goat? Qin Chuxue asked, rubbing the rabbit above.

"Because my aunt is a rabbit, I want my aunt to be safe and happy for the rest of her life, not just the Year of the Goat." Zeng Rong explained.

"It's hard for you to have a heart." Qin Chuxue was a little moved, and she really liked Zeng Rong a little, not to mention her delicate thoughts, she was also kind and upright, and what was even more rare was that she also knew a little bit of pharmacological knowledge, such a person was too suitable to stay by her side.

However, she is now soft-spoken, even if she wants to do something, it is difficult, and if she is not careful, she will also harm Zeng Rong, so she is also confused, and she doesn't know what to do with this child.

"Compared to my aunt, I haven't done enough." Zeng Rong lowered his head with a little shame.

Just now Xiaocui asked to buy honey, but Qin Chuxue stopped her, and Zeng Rong guessed that she must be short of money.

Honey is not cheap, plus you have to give a reward for asking for someone, and you have to pay for running errands, layer by layer, I am afraid that she may not be able to buy honey for half a tael of silver.

No wonder Liu Chunmiao said that Qin Chuxue was not rich before, but during that time, Zeng Rong and Lu He's consultation fees and medicine money were all on Qin Chuxue's mat, and she refused to ask for it, and then later, she prepared more than a month's worth of food for Zeng Rong, which was not in her share, so she had to pay out of her own pocket to buy it, and this purchase had to pay a lot of favors.

For this reason, Zeng Rong blamed himself for not thinking about her embarrassment earlier, and not putting a silver ingot in his purse.

"By the way, what have you been busy with in the past half month? The queen didn't look for you again, did she? Qin Chuxue saw Zeng Rong hanging his head as if blaming himself, and took the initiative to change the topic.

"No, but I guess it's going to be soon." Zeng Rong didn't want to talk about this topic, but when the other party asked, she wanted to hear her thoughts.

Sure enough, knowing that she had embroidered some small items with a lotus pattern, and used her exclusive hollowing skills, Qin Chuxue was excited and coughed again, but fortunately, at this time, Xiaocui said that the medicine was ready to dry and brought it over.

After taking the medicine, Qin Chuxue closed her eyes and leaned for a while, and only after she calmed down did she open her eyes and said, "That's it, don't worry, this matter has little to do with you, you really have to be held accountable, and it is only her who is unlucky, you are an embroiderer, you can only obey the instructions of the aunt in charge if you embroider or not." ”

"That being said, there are eggs under the nest?" Zeng Rong smiled bitterly.

"No, at the moment, you don't have enough portions." Qin Chuxue shook her head very firmly.

This is also an important reason why she has been hesitant so far, a little embroidery girl is not enough to take those people in her eyes, but once Zeng Rong becomes her person and is involved in the battle between them, the problem will not be so simple.
