Chapter 18: The Gift of Atonement
Qi Chengyu glanced at the things on Quezi's body other than eating, and said: "It's not too coincidental, I've been looking for an opportunity to apologize to Miss Lin in person, but I have an appointment today, so I have to take Wu'er to apologize to Miss Lin solemnly another day!"
As soon as Qi Chengyu finished speaking, I hurriedly said: "The son doesn't have to be so polite, thanks to the doctor that the son found, as well as the care of the little son in those days, my maid is no longer in trouble, what do you want to apologize, it is absolutely non-existent, and please don't worry about this matter anymore!"
Speaking of this, I thought that Qi Chengyu was an understanding person, but who would have thought that he would say: "My son's fault is my fault, there is no reason to be negligent, but it can't be done today, I can only choose another day to make amends!"
Looking at the back of the father and son, thinking about the gift of apology on the chosen day, I really couldn't be happy, Que Zi said: "Miss, this seventh son is too stubborn, if you understand it so well, he doesn't understand, and he has to apologize to you again, but what a strange person, isn't it the seventh in the family, there are six brothers and sisters, and he is spoiled, I am used to it?"
Looking at Que Zi's appearance, I didn't know that I had been fooled by others, and I still felt stupid here, I sighed helplessly, feeling a little uneasy, it didn't make sense that Qi Chengyu would be entangled with me, I thought about it carefully, could it be that I offended him somewhat? Or did he recognize me who had almost been trampled under my horse that day?
Back at the Lin Mansion, I asked Que Zi to find tools to cut the purchased stationery into regular letterhead, and in the evening, let everyone retreat, take out the herborist, read it carefully, and when I encountered something that I didn't understand, I wrote the question on the letterhead paper cut during the day, and then folded it carefully!
For several days in a row, I immersed myself in the herb collection, which was really fascinating about the various herbs, and it was really the most detailed book in the world.
I have always had a habit of reading books, and I will indulge in them whenever I come across a favorite book, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I forget to sleep and eat.
On this day, after I got up in the morning and washed up, I opened the herb book again, the weather was clear, the sun that I hadn't seen for a long time climbed into the sky, after breakfast, I took the book next to the window, the sun shone warmly on my body, making people lazy.
Que Zi was also depressed for many days, and said to me: "Miss, you see that the weather is so good today, why don't you go out for a walk?" ”
Looking up at the sun, it was indeed good, and thinking of the confusion when I watched the herb market last night, I was ready to pack up and go out.
My yard is located in a relatively remote area, and there are few people walking around on weekdays, and the stone slabs on the path out of the house are full of yellow leaves, and there is a sound behind the rockery in the woods.
The arguer whispered: "Miss, this ......"
The man's heavy breathing was mixed with the woman's forbearant moans, and I clenched Quezi's wrist and whispered, "Go!"
But who would have thought that as soon as I took two steps, because I was too anxious and hurried, Que Zi stepped on the hem of my skirt and successfully tripped the two of us to the ground, accompanied by Que Zi's wailing.
This movement successfully disturbed the two people behind the rock, and under the four eyes, the woman fled in a hurry, and Que Zi and I also quickly got up and left!
Until leaving the house, both of us still maintained the appearance that we didn't dare to come out, this kind of thing is not the first time I have heard of it, but it is the first time I have encountered it, the etiquette rules of the merchant's house are always lacking a lot, and when it comes to the next person, it is even more chaotic, and the affair between men and women is not a secret, but it is just not on the stage!
After a while, Que Zi seemed to come back to his senses and said, "Miss, just now, that was Ah Yu and Ma Er?"
I stopped and said solemnly: "Don't make a noise about this, you have to rot in your stomach, no one can talk about it!"
Ayu is Lin Ruiman's person, Ma Er is a member of the eldest lady's mother's family, no one knows what kind of work is behind this, neither side is good at stubble, the muddy waters of the Lin family are still far away.
Que Zi pointed to my knee and said, "Miss, blood, your knee?"
I looked down and saw that the cloth on my knees was stained with a faint stain of blood, and a pain swept through my body, presumably from the fall.
Que Zi proposed, "Miss, let's go to Dr. Qu."
"Do you know what your name is?" I asked, looking at Quezi.
She shook her head and said, "I don't know!"
"Eat inside and outside, take the Lin family's remuneration, and think about Dr. Qu's pharmacy, if the eldest lady knows that you don't go to the pharmacy of the eldest sister, and choose an outsider's shop, ......you say, "I also think this girl is very strange, why is she in love with Doctor Qu, a person like a doctor, a place like a pharmacy, no matter how good it is, don't take it to heart!"
When I arrived at the Lin family pharmacy, I didn't see the eldest sister and Dr. Sun, only the one who was in charge of the accounts and the one who grabbed the medicine.
I asked the man who grabbed the medicine, "What about the others?" I've been here a few times with Lin Ruilan, and these two people know me.
Xiao Si, who grabbed the medicine, looked up at me, but his eyes were a little evasive, and he was interrupted by Xiao Si, who was calculating the account, as soon as he spoke: "The eldest lady and Dr. Sun are both in the backyard, and an important patient came, and I didn't want people to know my situation, so I went to the backyard for treatment."
Seeing the appearance of Xiao Si, it doesn't seem to be lying, but what is the identity of the important patient, but it makes me very curious.
I asked them to get iodine and cotton balls, as well as a white cloth, and a small bottle of gold sore medicine, and then went to the backyard with Quezi.
The backyard of the Lin family's pharmacy is extremely large, with two courtyards in front and back, each courtyard has dozens of rooms, and Xiao Si, who reckoned with the account, led us to the front yard.
