Chapter 67: Illness
Gu Yi's tone was not so much asking Yi Qi Wanxi as it was stating a fact. Therefore, Yi Qi Wanxi remained silent and did not answer.
Gu Yi sighed lightly and smiled: "I've thought about it and give me an answer." After a pause, he added, "However, you only have half a month to think about it." As he spoke, he patted Yi Qiwanxi's shoulder, turned around and walked out, his tone relaxed, "You have to think about it seriously." ”
Watching Gu Yi walk away, Cuizhu's eyes were full of curiosity and asked, "Third Miss, ...... is he?"
Without waiting for Cuizhu to finish asking, Yi Qi Wanxi replied simply: "Friend." ”
Then, Yi Qi Wanxi re-entered the store and continued to select fabrics.
After choosing the fabric, Cuizhu held the best color brocade she bought, followed Yi Qi Wanxi out of the store, and asked out of curiosity: "I see the clothes of the third lady on weekdays, Cuizhu thinks that the third lady likes plain colors, how did she think of buying such a gorgeous cloth today?" ”
"After all, I like to be convinced." Yi Qi replied simply.
Cuizhu was only puzzled, and didn't ask much, and followed Yi Qi Wanxi to a tailor shop.
Yi Qi Wanxi took the cloth from Cuizhu's arms, handed it to the boss, and took out a drawing from the bag in her hand, handed it to the boss, and said something to the boss.
The boss touched the cloth, pondered the drawings carefully, and communicated with Yi Qi Wanxi for a while before he understood.
Yi Qi Wanxi negotiated with the boss about the price and time of picking up the goods, paid the deposit, and then called Cuizhu to leave.
After a busy morning, the two of them were also hungry. However, the two did not go back to the house immediately, but found a restaurant to eat outside.
Although Cuizhu felt that it was not appropriate, she was finally persuaded by Yi Qi Wanxi.
Dining at the same table with Yi Qi Wanxi, Cuizhu always felt awkward, as if she was doing something intolerable, and she kept fidgeting.
Seeing this, Yi Qi smiled lightly and asked her not to be nervous.
When the food ordered by the two came up, they saw that Yi Qi Wanxi moved the chopsticks first, and Cuizhu picked up the chopsticks.
Cuizhu originally wanted to eat quietly, but Gu Yi's face always appeared in her mind, so she raised her head from between the bowls to look at Yi Qi Wanxi opposite, and asked, "Third Miss, will you go with the gentleman you just met in the cloth shop?" ”
Yi Qi was obviously stunned, and then smiled lightly: "How could I go with him." ”
Time passed little by little, the two had a good meal, and after settling the bill, they returned to Yiqi Mansion.
The next few days were peaceful. Because Yi Qi Wanxi's condition did not improve, the doctor specially instructed her to "not get cold", so Yi Qi Mingzhi specially asked her to recuperate, and she didn't even have to ask An to kneel.
Yi Qi Wanxi is always in her own room and has experienced unprecedented peace of mind. This kind of peace of mind has not been felt for a long time, so Yi Qi Wanxi cherishes and misses it.
Yi Qi sat in the room warm by the charcoal fire, drinking tea and reading a book. For some reason, I always recall some things in the past, and most of those things are related to Gu Yi.
When they met in the cloth shop before, Gu Yi asked Yi Qi Wanxi to think about his suggestion, but Yi Qi Wanxi didn't take it to heart.
It's just that that night, Cuizhu sent the boiled medicine to Yi Qi Wanxi's bedside, and asked her if she would go with Gu Yi, and said: "Third Miss, Cuizhu thinks that it is fortunate that you are not with Young Master Qi, and you slander you like that without getting you, your character is not very good." Or the gentleman who asked you if you would go with him was gentle, and it was more reasonable. ”
Yi Qi drank the medicine and did not answer. Cuizhu mentioned this, and Yi Qi Wanxi thought about this matter for a while
Although there are thoughts in the day, there are dreams in the night. But Yi Qi thought about herself, but she thought about it before going to bed, why did she dream of Gu Yi. In the morning, I remembered the dream of the night, and I was troubled by it for a while.
This trouble, Gu Yi's words came to mind from time to time.
"Do you want to come with me?"
"You're not happy here, are you?"
Unhappy......
Yi Qi lowered his eyes, refocused his gaze on the words on the book, and his heart was filled with inexplicable emotions, and then chuckled, and said to himself: "Yes." ”
After a while, Cuizhu came in with the medicine and some desserts, put them on the table in front of Yi Qi Wanxi, and handed the medicine to Yi Qi Wanxi, and said, "Third Miss, Fourth Miss is not locked up." ”
"Oh." Yi Qi replied a little carelessly, put down the book, and took the medicine handed over by Cuizhu.
"You're not going to see her?" Cuizhu asked cautiously.
Yi Qi Wanxi stirred the potion in the bowl with a spoon, then took the spoon in her hand and drank the medicine with a moderate temperature in the bowl. Then he put the spoon back in the bowl, handed the bowl to Cuizhu, and asked instead of answering, "See what she does?" ”
Cuizhu hurriedly took it and replied: "In a few days, it will be the fourth miss's Fangchen, and the lord and the lady are handling the fourth miss's Fangchen." ”
"So fast?" Yi Qi Wanxi's hand holding a snack stopped in the air for half a second, and then picked up a piece of dim sum, "Daddy is very concerned about her birthday." ”
"It is said that I plan to make a marriage contract for Miss Fourth on her birthday." Cuizhu Road.
Yi Qiwan was stunned, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Heh." ”
She thought that on her birthday, Qi Tianyu said that she would give her the grandest wedding in Shanghai, but after all, it was just a joke.
"Birthdays aren't good for engagement." Yi Qi said gracefully, taking a bite of the snack in his hand.
Cuizhu knew why Yi Qi Wanxi said this, so she said, "It's already in the past, don't worry about it." ”
"It's not bothered." Yi Qi said gracefully, putting the half-eaten dim sum on the side of the dim sum plate, wiping his fingers with the handkerchief on the table, and picking up the book again, "I just don't want my sister to be a second joke." ”
Cuizhu was about to say something, but heard a knock on the door, so she put the bowl on the table and turned to open the door.
The woman wearing a light concubine-colored skirt and combing her hair in a low bun at the door is Luomei.
Cuizhu let Luomei into the house, and Luomei saluted Yi Qi Wanxi, and said, "Third Miss, the master asked the slave maid to invite you over." ”
"What's the matter?" Yi Qi said gracefully and closed the book.
"I said that you could go and discuss the marriage of the fourth lady."
Hearing this, Yi Qi Wanxi and Cuizhu looked at each other for a second, then took the handkerchief on the table, slowly stood up, and said, "Okay." ”
When the sound fell, Yi Qi Wanxi covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed violently.
Seeing this, Cuizhu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to support Yi Qi Wanxi, patted her back gently, and said, "Third Miss, it's cold outside, you can't be cold anymore." ”
When Luo Mei heard this, she was also a little hesitant, and was about to say something, when she heard Yi Qi's gentle voice.
"It's okay, I can't stand the cold for long." Yi Qi said softly, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and coughed.
I don't know if it was because she coughed too hard, she felt a little weak for a while, and bent down to sit on the chair.
Yi Qi Wanxi was like this, Cuizhu was really distressed, so she frowned and looked at Luomei, and said beggingly: "Sister Luomei, the third lady's body is like this, do you have to let her go?" ”
"This ......" Luo Mei looked a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Then I'll go back and tell the master, just say that the third lady is seriously ill and can't get out of bed?" ”
Cuizhu was overjoyed for a moment, but her face was still worried, and she said, "Thank you, Sister Luomei." ”
Yi Qi Wanxi just covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed softly, but did not speak.
After Luomei told Yi Qi Wanxi to retreat, she quickly left.
Seeing the door being closed, Yi Qi coughed loudly again.
Cuizhu walked to the door, opened the door slightly and looked out, then closed the door, came back and said to Yi Qi Wanxi: "Third Miss, people have gone away. ”
Yi Qi Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm so tired." ”
"The third lady scared me just now." Cuizhu said, Ben's frowning brows unconsciously relaxed, and there was a little more smile on her face, "I thought the third lady was coughing again." ”
Yi Qi Wanxi chuckled, folded the handkerchief and put it back on the table, picked up the book on the table again, and said, "If you drink medicine on time every day, it can't be that it doesn't get better." ”
"Yes, yes." Cuizhu was a little flustered, and suddenly as if deliberately, she smiled toothily, "There will definitely be an improvement." ”
Yi Qi glanced at her and didn't speak, opened the book and continued to read the previous content.
Cuizhu glanced at her with some concern, did not speak, took the medicine bowl and walked out lightly.
Yi Qi Wanxi would not know why Cuizhu was so sensitive, and she didn't know why Cuizhu was so afraid. Because she hadn't experienced the pain that Cuizhu had experienced.
Towards evening, Yi Qi Wanxi was eating in the house when someone suddenly knocked on the door. At this time, it is generally Yi Qi Mingzhi.
Cuizhu looked out vigilantly, remembering the incident of the flickering plum in the morning. was worried that it was Yi Qi Mingzhi, so he asked Yi Qi Wanxi to go to the bed first, and hurriedly went out to open the door.
Sure enough, the person who came was indeed Yi Qi Mingzhi, and in addition to the maid, there were also Wang, Li and Yiqi Mancao.
As soon as a few people arrived at the door, Yi Qi Mancao covered his nose with his hand and asked disgustedly, "What does it smell like?" ”
"Fourth Miss, Third Miss is not in good health, drink medicine every day, it's normal for there to smell medicine in the house, right?" Cuizhu was secretly unhappy in her heart, and her tone was respectful, "If you can't get used to it, you don't have to go in." Don't worry about infecting you. ”
Hearing this, Yi Qi Mancao put down his hand and looked at Cuizhu with an angry face, because of the presence of the elders, it was not easy to be too presumptuous, so he only said angrily: "You are a subordinate, dare to talk to me like this?!" ”
Cuizhu was very calm, lowered her head slightly and said respectfully: "Cuizhu is just telling the truth, if you offend Miss Four, please blame Miss Four." ”
"You ......" was originally forcibly pulled to see Yi Qi Wanxi, Yi Qi Mancao was in a bad mood, and Cuizhu had such an attitude, Yi Qi Mancao was completely enraged.
"Stop arguing." Fortunately, Yi Qi Mingzhi contained Yi Qi Mancao's anger in time, "What is the noise, what is there to be noisy?" ”
Yi Qi Mingzhi turned to look at Yi Qi Mancao, his brows were tightened, his tone was serious, and he asked, "You are the fourth lady of Yi Qi Mansion, what are you talking about with a subordinate?" ”
Yi Qi Mancao could only bow his head obediently and said glutinously: "Daddy, my daughter knows that she is wrong." ”
Yi Qi Mingzhi glanced at her again, then turned his gaze to Cuizhu, lowered his voice and asked, "Is the third young lady asleep?" ”
"Just went to sleep." Cuizhu bowed her head and replied in a respectful voice.
"Since we're asleep, then we're not going in." Yi Qi Mingzhi said, paused, and asked again, "Luomei said that the third lady's condition is serious again?" ”
"Ah......" Cuizhu was a little flustered for a while, always lowered her head, but pretended to be calm, "It's just that I forgot to drink medicine in the morning, so it's more serious, and it's good to drink medicine later." ”
"Well, remember to give the third lady medicine on time." Yi Qi Mingzhi's voice was soft, as if he was afraid of Yi Qi Wanxi, who was afraid of making a noise inside, "Is the third lady's hand injury better?" ”
"It's better."
"That's good." Yi Qi Mingzhi nodded lightly with some relief, "Take good care of the third lady." ”
"Cuizhu knows."
"You talk to Miss San, I have something important to discuss with her, and I'll come back when she gets better."
"Yes, sir."
Yi Qi Mingzhi told Cuizhu some trivial things, and then took the group away.
The group didn't say anything, and they didn't think much about it, but Yi Qi Mancao sensed that something was wrong.
