Chapter 21: Homecoming

Qiu Lu stared at him for a long time, gritted her teeth, and still responded, but the two choices he gave were not chosen, she had to go back, not to ventilate the news, but to help cover up the fact that Gege was not there, others may not know, but an old-fashioned person like Fujin knew that Gege did not return overnight or left with a play, I am afraid that something will have to happen if it is okay, and this thing can only be done by her.

When Ning Yi woke up again, the sound of the rain outside covered all the sounds, and the whole world seemed to have only one sound left.

The quilt was tightly wrapped, obviously it was May and June, she felt that the clothes in the quilt had been soaked with sweat, and the curtain beside the bed hung softly all around, covering this small square world, Ning Yi was groggy, I don't know if it was day or night outside.

I thought back to what happened before I passed out, and I felt a faint pain in my forehead.

"Autumn dew?" When I spoke, I realized how weak and hoarse my voice was.

No one answered outside, and I didn't know if Qiu Lu hadn't heard it or if she wasn't in the room.

Thinking like this in my heart, I was groggy and unconscious.

"Squeak-" The sound of the door opening was faintly heard in the rain.

Chen came in with a bowl of medicine, put it on the table, turned around and closed the door lightly, patted the water droplets on his body, and removed the moisture before carrying the medicine to the bedside. Carefully helped people up and fed people medicine, Ning Yi didn't wake up, she looked at the heavy rain outside worriedly, and went out of the house.

"This girl's fever hasn't gone away, and although the wound on her head doesn't seem serious, it's not a way to go on like this."

Qin Yunhuai frowned, looked at the already dark sky outside, and saw her tired, "You go to sleep first, and tomorrow morning, I will take her to the city again." ”

"And where do you sleep?" Chen put the bowl on the table, and there were only two rooms in this wooden house.

Qin Yunhuai didn't care and said, "I'll rest on the bamboo chair for one night." ”

Chen frowned, didn't speak, just went to the room by himself, took a new quilt out and put it on the recliner.

Qin Yunhuai looked at the quilt, not knowing what to think, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, when Chen got up, there was only one bedding neatly stacked on the chair, she shook her head, put the quilt back in the cabinet, came out to change the new lamp oil in front of the Buddha statue, sincerely bowed three times, knelt on the futon, as in the past, worshiped the Buddha and recited the scriptures.

On the way back to the city.

Qin Yunhuai sat in the carriage, a bump, he stretched out his hand to protect Ning Yi who was pouring to the side. He lowered his eyes and looked at the man leaning against his chest, his little face flushed with fever, and he frowned in his sleep, and he didn't know what he had dreamed of.

"Ah Yue, hurry up and be steady." Qin Yunhuai lowered his voice and commanded Ah Yue, who was rushing outside the car, and carefully protected Ning Yi's head with his hands.

"Huh." The man on the wheel of the car outside answered.

Qin Yunhuai took the person to the house in the outer city, and sent Ah Yue to ask for a doctor, and he carried the person into the guest room.

It didn't take long for Ah Yue to enter the door with the doctor.

"This is because the girl is already weak, and now she has a cold, she has to take care of herself, I will prescribe a side medicine, and the fever will be fine." The doctor withdrew his hand.

Qin Yunhuai nodded, "Then I don't know if the injury on her head is serious, but what sequelae will there be?" ”

"The wound on the head is just an external injury, but it's hard to say whether there are any sequelae inside, and you can only know when you wake up."

"Thank you, doctor. Ah Yue, settle the consultation fee and send the doctor back. ”

"Yes, doctor, please."

Sending the doctor away, Qin Yunhuai looked at the person on the bed but felt a headache, he shouldn't have had anything to do with the palace Gege, but he didn't expect to bring people back to the mansion now.

But even if he thought so, he didn't think about it and just left it alone, but he looked at the house, and it seemed that he still had to buy a girl to come back.

Qin Yunhuai doesn't often live in the house, and stays in the backyard of the theater most days, so although this Qin Mansion is not small, there are not many people, except for the occasional Aunt Qiao who comes to cook and help cook, everything around him is done by Ah Yue, there are not many things in the house, and one Ah Yue is enough, but now there is an extra woman in the family, which is not suitable.

When Ah Yue sent the doctor back, he brought back a troublesome news that the only mountain road leading to Jietai Temple at the foot of the mountain was blocked by the gravel and mud washed down by the torrential rain last night.

Ah Yue was sent by him to hire a girl, not long ago the imperial court issued an order to prohibit the sale of human beings in private, although these laws were opposed by those slave owners, so they were temporarily shelved, but many people have replaced the trade with employment, and those poor children also have an extra way to make a living.

Qin Yunhuai took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and went to the kitchen to fry it, and asked Aunt Qiao to take care of Ning Yi temporarily.

Aunt Qiao saw that he was about to enter the kitchen and hurriedly stopped, "Master, don't they all say that the gentleman is far away from cooking, how can you men do this kind of thing, I'll just come." ”

Qin Yunhuai stopped her hand to take the medicine, and smiled Qingfeng Jiyue, "What kind of gentleman am I, it's just a joke, and besides, it's inconvenient for me to take care of a girl as a big man." ”

Although Aunt Qiao still thinks it's inappropriate, it's really inappropriate for a lonely man and a widow.

Qin Yunhuai originally thought that although Ah Yue hadn't hired anyone yet, Aunt Qiao would still be able to hold on for a while, but just when he was halfway through the medicine, Aunt Qiao's son came over and said that his daughter-in-law had started at home, and now the family had no idea, saying that he would hurry up and invite his mother back.

When Aunt Qiao heard that it was about her grandson, how could she not be in a hurry, rubbing her hands and coming to the kitchen to say leave to Qin Yunhuai.

"Congratulations, this is a happy event, auntie, hurry up." After speaking, he took a jade pendant out of his arms, "This is my congratulatory gift, you don't have to rush back these days, take care of the family with peace of mind." ”

"This, how embarrassed is this to accept your gift." It is already her luck to work in this Qin family, the master's family has a good temper, if she doesn't come back, let her go home to take care of it, the salary is more, it is already better, and now she also gives her a congratulatory gift, this jade pendant does not look cheap, how can she be embarrassed to ask for it.

Qin Yunhuai ignored her refusal, "Just let me be happy." ”

Aunt Qiao rushed home, and he was the only one left in the house, but fortunately, he was also used to it, shook his head, picked up the broken pu fan on the side, and continued to fan against the medicine stove. It's this broken pu fan, which also seems to be a green bamboo folding fan.

Suddenly, he slapped his hand unhurriedly, and when he thought of Gege who was unconscious on the bed, his head ached faintly.
