Time passes, autumn deepens, and trees all over the capital rush to clothe themselves with the golden yellow of a tree.

Du Xiaomeng unknowingly "returned to her parents' home" for more than a month, and also received her first salary from the workshop. This is the first time she has traveled to this time and space, and the money she has earned with her own hands is completely different from what others have given to her.

After coming out of the studio, Du Xiaomeng, who was in a good mood, did not go home directly, but walked to the vegetable market with the small salary. She decided to make a good meal and eat a good meal today to celebrate her first salary.

After going around the vegetable market, Du Xiaomeng bought all the ingredients she needed, and then went to the cake shop to buy a box of pastries, and then slowly walked home.

Before I got home, I saw Xiao Gongzi and a woman standing in front of the door and looking around, looking very anxious. Getting closer, Du Xiaomeng saw that the woman next to Xiao Gongzi turned out to be Liu Lu. Just as she was wondering, the two saw her and immediately ran over to her.

Xiao Gongzi rushed to Du Xiaomeng's side, and said to her with an anxious face: "Hurry up and go to the General's Mansion!" ”

Before Du Xiaomeng could react to what he was saying, Liu Lu rushed over from behind and took her hand, her face turned pale and her eyes flashed with tears, and she said, "Miss Du is not good!" Hurry up and come back with me to see the master! ”

Liu Lu's brainless words Du Xiaomeng's heart "Geden", she pressed Liu Lu's hand and asked anxiously: "Master Zhan, what's wrong with him?" ”

"The old man was seriously ill, and he asked a doctor to come and give him needles and medicine, but the old man was still delirious and confused. Although he was reluctant, he kept nagging about your name, and Steward Yang asked me to come to you. Liu Lu finished his words in one breath, pulled up and was about to run forward, "Miss Du, let's go quickly!" ”

Du Xiaomeng threw the things in his hand to Xiao Gongzi, and he didn't dare to follow Liu Lu back to the general's mansion without a moment's stay.

When I arrived at the general's mansion and ran straight to Nianci Garden, I saw several people standing outside the garden stretching their necks to look into the garden, and after entering the garden, I saw Steward Yang and two old servants standing in front of the door, and looked at the situation in the house from the edge of the door that opened a meeting.

Everyone's face had either worried or nervous expressions. This situation made Du Xiaomeng's heart panic involuntarily, she walked over to Steward Yang quickly, and asked anxiously and nervously, "Uncle Yang, what happened to Master Zhan?" ”

Steward Yang turned around and saw that it was Du Xiaomeng, and the anxiety on his face was reduced a little. He glanced into the room and said, "The old man has given the medicine, and the doctor is staying inside to pay attention to the reaction after the medicine." ”

Du Xiaomeng frowned and asked worriedly, "How can this be?" Before I left, Master Zhan was still fine, why did he fall ill all of a sudden? ”

Steward Yang sighed and said, "Elderly people are prone to get sick, not to mention that the old man's health has never been good. The last time the old man fainted in the garden, the doctor said that his health was poor, and he tried not to be stimulated, but ......"

Steward Yang raised his eyes and looked at Du Xiaomeng, swallowed, and did not say the following.

"But what? Could it be that Master Zhan was stimulated by something? Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, he'......"

Steward Yang glanced at Du Xiaomeng again, and then at the house, a look of hesitation flashed on his face, and after hesitating for a moment, he pulled Du Xiaomeng aside, and lowered his voice as if he was afraid of being heard by others: "Since Miss Du, you left, the lord has been thinking about when you will come back from your mother's house, and I haven't seen you come back for a long time, and I haven't seen you send a letter back, so he is worried about whether something happened to you at your mother's house." may be worried in his heart, plus the day before yesterday he suffered a little cold, and the already weak old man fell ill all of a sudden. ”

After listening to Steward Yang's words, Du Xiaomeng's heart was very uncomfortable. It turns out that Old Man Zhan's illness is still related to her! She is really a conscienceless person, she has received so many favors from Old Man Zhan, and she knows that Zhan is not in good health, so she has not inquired about his recent situation once after leaving the General's Mansion.

Seeing the uncomfortable look on Du Xiaomeng's face, Steward Yang comforted her and said: "My lord is easy to get sick, and he has a sudden illness this time, the biggest reason is that he has a cold, and it has nothing to do with you." What the old man said just now, Du Xiaomeng, don't take it to heart, you better hurry up and go in and see the master! When he fainted and talked nonsense, he was reading your name, and if he read you like this, maybe his condition will improve after seeing you. ”

Du Xiaomeng nodded lightly, stepped forward with a heavy heart, pushed open the door and walked quickly to the house.

When I entered the house, I saw that several brothers and sisters of the Zhan family were present. They all stood by the bed, and the doctor sat on the chair next to the bed to check the pulse of the old man Zhan who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the brothers and sisters of the Zhan family all turned their heads to look over here.

Seeing Du Xiaomeng, Zhan Qi's face showed a look of surprise, the second son Zhan Ren and the third son Zhan Yi cast unexpected glances, Zhan Li was stunned at first, and then jumped over and grabbed Du Xiaomeng's hand, and said with a crying voice: "Sister Du! The doctor said that his father was very sick, what should I do? ”

Du Xiaomeng patted her shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, there is a doctor to treat Master Zhan, he will definitely get better, don't worry." ”

Or because he heard Du Xiaomeng's voice, the old man Zhan, who had been closing his eyes tightly on the bed, suddenly moved, and shouted weakly in a daze: "Xiaomeng......"

Zhan Qi reacted first, and immediately turned around and threw himself on the side of the bed and shouted, "Dad! ”

The other brothers and sisters of the Zhan family also hurriedly surrounded and shouted: "Dad! ”

Old Man Zhan's closed eyes slowly opened, and he looked at the children in front of the bed with a blank expression, as if they had not yet woken up.

Zhan Qi looked at the doctor and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with my father?" ”

The white-bearded doctor who came last time touched his gray beard and was about to speak, but he heard Old Man Zhan ask weakly, "Is Xiaomeng back?" It was as if I heard her voice. ”

Hearing this, the brothers and sisters of the Zhan family hurriedly dodged to give up their positions. Du Xiaomeng suppressed all kinds of emotions in her heart, walked to the bed with a smile on her face, bent down, looked at Old Man Zhan and said in a soft voice, "Father-in-law, I'm back." ”

"Xiaomeng, you're back!" When Old Man Zhan saw Du Xiaomeng, he immediately came to his senses and wanted to sit up, but he couldn't help but fall back to the bed.

Du Xiaomeng hurriedly held him down and said in a blaming tone: "Father-in-law, don't move!" If you are not in good health, you have to lie down and rest more, so that you can recover your strength quickly. ”

Old Man Zhan nodded with a smile and weakly: "I thought I couldn't wait for you to come back, and I won't be able to see you in the future......" Before he finished speaking, he coughed a few times.

His words made the guilt in Du Xiaomeng's heart a little worse. She opened her mouth to say something, but the doctor on the side spoke before her and said, "The old man's body is still very weak, and it is not suitable to say too much, so he needs to recuperate." General, bring the medicine to the old man and let him rest. ”

Zhan Qi turned around and went out, and soon brought back a bowl of medicine.

Old man Zhan fell asleep soon after drinking the medicine, and the doctor checked his pulse again, then stood up with a sigh of relief and said, "The old man's condition has finally stabilized." Next, you must keep him in a good mood and let him see the person he wants to meet, so that he can get better quickly. ”

The doctor said other things to pay attention to, and deliberately pulled Zhan Qi outside to explain for a while, and then went back to the house and picked up the medicine box and left.
