Chapter 26 Caring for the Sick
Ding Ning recovered his health under Luo Xicheng's care, and he also successfully eliminated the Shougong sand. Although Guan Lumo didn't say anything, he was really happy to know that Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning were not husband and wife. It's just that now Ding Ning is completely better, but Luo Xicheng is sick.
That day, Ding Ning took medicine and had a fever, Luo Xicheng kept watch by the bedside all night, and caught a cold without paying attention, this weather was not a big problem, but for a few days, Luo Xicheng was worried about Ding Ning's body, and he always remembered to wake up and take care of Ding Ning every night when he came back. I got sick when I came and went.
Early this morning, Ding Ning woke up to find that Luo Xicheng was still asleep, he patted Luo Xicheng to call Luo Xicheng to get up, but found that Luo Xicheng was groggy. Ding Ning tested the body temperature between Luo Xicheng's foreheads with his hand and knew that Luo Xicheng had a fever. She hurriedly got up and called Huanxi and Cuilan and commanded:
"Huanxi, go to the medical hall in charge of Lu Mo and invite him, the old man is sick. Cuilan, you go and find Qi Ming, and let him come to the inner courtyard to report to the master if he has something to do today. ”
After arranging things, Ding Ning turned around and returned to the bed, tested Luo Xicheng's body temperature again, and confirmed whether Luo Xicheng was still burning. felt that Luo Xicheng's body was getting hotter and hotter, and Ding Ning was getting more and more panicked. Before, her body was hot because of the drug, although she was also afraid, but after all, it was herself, she could feel it uncomfortable, and she could hum it, but Luo Xicheng was different, he was a person who was not good at words and could endure it, and now he was sleepy again, what should I do!
The more Ding Ning thought about it, the more she felt flustered, and she didn't dare to tell the old lady. Thinking of this, Ding Ningcai reacted that he had to go to say good morning in the morning, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and fetched water to wash up briefly. Ding Ning planned to wait for Guan Lu Mo to come and then go to ask for peace.
Coincidentally, Ding Ning came in after packing up Lu Mo, he looked at Ding Ning and said:
"What's wrong with Hee Cheng?"
"Go and see, I can't wake him up in the morning, he's been sleeping so groggily and with a fever. I'm going to die. Ding Ning said as he led the way to the bed.
"Don't worry, I'll check the pulse first." Saying that, Guan Lu Mo began to diagnose Luo Xicheng's pulse, and after having an understanding of Luo Xicheng's condition, he added, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the rest is not enough and the body is weak, and it happens to be like this when there is a slight cold, I will prescribe a pair of medicines, and it will be fine if you take it." ”
After listening to Lu Mo's words, Ding Ning had a bottom in his heart. Guan Lu Mo had only seen Ding Ning with a relieved smile on his face since he entered the house. Seeing Ding Ning's state, Guan Lu Mo felt unspeakably uncomfortable. A few days ago, he thought that these two people were just acting together, but today's state is clearly that Ding Ning has also begun to have an inexplicable affection for Luo Xicheng. Guan Lumo bowed his head and was silent.
"Please also ask the prince to prescribe medicine for my master. Cuilan, go with my husband to get the medicine, come back and boil it for my husband, and I will go to my grandmother to say goodbye now. ”
After Ding Ning gave the order, he was about to say hello to the old lady, and when he walked to the gate of the garden, he saw Qi Ming walking towards him. She waited for the same name to walk in:
"Steward Qi, the old man is sick, although it is not serious, he still needs bed rest. The news of the master's unwell should not be spread, and you have come here to pay homage to the master if there is anything important today. ”
"Yes, ma'am. Then Qi Ming is going to be busy, and I'll report yesterday's accounts again when the master is better. Qi Ming said respectfully.
"I'm tired of the housekeeper." Ding Ning said politely.
Ding Ning saw Qi Ming walking away, and he also turned around and walked towards his grandmother's garden. After entering his grandmother's garden, Ding Ning saw his grandmother talking and laughing in the house. She hurried up to greet her grandmother. Grandmother prepared breakfast for her and Luo Xicheng every day, and when she came today, Grandmother asked:
"Xicheng, this kid left you alone again?"
"Everyone in this family relies on him, he doesn't dare to slack off for a day, it's very hard." Ding Ning replied in understanding.
"No matter how you say it, he also has two uncles, although they are both cousins, but they are also bloodline and trustworthy. Tell him to relax sometimes, his two uncles want to collect some private wealth through the business of the house, let them collect, as long as it is not excessive, just turn a blind eye, there is no need to stare at everything like this, tired of yourself. The old lady said with a sigh.
"Yes, grandmother, I will tell your husband." Ding Ning replied politely.
Ding Ning accompanied the old lady to breakfast, and chatted with the old lady for a while before leaving. As soon as he got out of the old lady's garden, Ding Ning pulled his legs and ran away. The old lady lived in the garden in the far corner of Luo's mansion, because it was clean and suitable for self-cultivation. Ding Ning ran from the old lady's garden to his and Luo Xicheng's garden, and gasped breathlessly when he entered the garden.
Ding Ning was afraid that Luo Xicheng would see that she had run back, so he slowed down outside the door before entering the house. Cuilan was about to wake up Luo Xicheng for breakfast, when Ding Ning interrupted:
"I'll come, you go and serve porridge."
Cuilan took the order to serve porridge, Ding Ning walked to Luo Xicheng and sat down, patted Luo Xicheng gently and whispered to him to get up. Luo Xicheng forced himself to open his eyes and saw that Ding Ning was calling him, and he tried hard to stand up and sit up. Ding Ning saw that he was trying to stand up, so he got up and helped hard. Luo Xicheng sat up against the bed and asked:
"What's wrong with me? My whole body aches. ”
"It's nothing, it's sick, Guan Gongzi has been here and prescribed medicine to you. He said that you didn't have a good rest today, and you didn't go to bed at the same time as me every day, so how could you say that you didn't rest well. Have you been too tired lately? Ding Ning said.
Of course, Luo Xicheng couldn't tell Ding Ning that he was worried that Ding Ning would have a fever again because of the repeated effects of Guan Lumo's medicine, so he didn't dare to sleep all night long. He forced:
"It's okay, I'll be fine after taking Lu Mo's medicine in a while."
At this time, Cuilan came in with hot porridge and handed the porridge to Ding Ning. Ding Ning took the hot porridge and scooped up a spoonful, blowing it warm before sending it to Luo Xicheng's mouth. Luo Xicheng ate what Ding Ning fed, and there was an inexplicable sweetness in his heart. In the past, Meng Li took care of him who was sick, but after having a wife, it really felt different.
"Thank you!" Luo Xicheng said with a smile from the bottom of his heart.
"Didn't you take care of me like this the other day! We have a relationship. Ding Ning replied.
"Coming and going? You can figure it out. Husband and wife are one, and as your man, it is natural for me to take care of you. Luo Xicheng said.
"Since you and I can't be husband and wife, wouldn't it be nice for me to be with you? I will do my best to complete this business between my husband and me. Now that you are my master, and when my master is sick, I naturally have to take care of him. Ding Ning replied.
Ding Ning's words came into Luo Xicheng's ears, but they penetrated into his heart, making him feel a little cold in his heart. But I can't find the source of this coolness.
Luo Xicheng felt that there was no taste in his mouth after eating the porridge, and an ugly expression appeared on his face, and Ding Ning naturally guessed his state when he saw this. Ding Ning smiled and said:
"You drink the medicine in a while, and I'll look for the taste in your mouth."
Luo Xicheng hurriedly picked up the still hot medicinal soup on the small stool next to him and drank it all in one gulp. He handed the bowl to Ding Ning and signaled that he had finished drinking the medicine. Ding Ning This is the first time she has seen Luo Xicheng like a child, she happily stuffed a candied fruit into Luo Xicheng's mouth, and said happily:
"Does the husband have a taste in his mouth?"
Luo Xicheng rarely eats sweets, he always feels that sweet things are too greasy, but today when this candied fruit came to his mouth, he actually felt that the taste was just right, and he even wanted to have another piece. Luo Xicheng finished eating this piece and strongly demanded:
"Give me another piece."
"That's not good, this thing is precious, you have to drink medicine to have a piece." Ding Ning said it carefully.
"What do you mean? I can't afford to eat a few preserves in Luofu? Luo Xicheng gradually gained strength when he spoke. Ding Ning was also relieved to hear it.
"Isn't that precious? If you don't take good care of yourself, where will this big family get the money to buy candied fruit, I'm afraid that my grandmother and I will have to live on the streets. Ding Ning said with a smile.
"How is that possible, even if I don't do a single business in Luofu, the money is enough to support people for several lifetimes." Luo Xicheng is full of confidence.
"Then you'll get better." Ding Ning got up and walked outside the house as he spoke, and Luo Xicheng felt a little unhappy in his heart when he saw this.
"Where are you going?" Luo Xicheng asked.
"I'm going to pour you water, since you're cold, you naturally have to drink more hot water." Ding Ning replied with a back.
Luo Xicheng knew that Ding Ning was not going far, and his heart was a little more steady, and he did feel a little thirsty. After Ding Ning poured the water for Luo Xicheng to serve, Luo Xicheng felt that his spirit was almost recovered and wanted to get up.
"You can't get up, you have to rest. You lie down! Ding Ning said and pressed Luo Xicheng's shoulders to prevent him from getting up.
"But isn't it boring to lie like this?" Luo Xicheng is used to living a busy life every day, but this leisure makes him a little at a loss.
"How about I play chess with you? I moved the chessboard to the bed. Ding Ning asked.
Luo Xicheng was interested when he heard this, and asked Ding Ning to hurriedly move the chessboard. Ding Ning moved the chessboard on the bed and sorted it out, and found clothes for Luo Xicheng to put on his shoulders, and the two started to play against each other at this time.
Halfway through a game of chess, Qi Ming estimated that his master should also wake up and come to report yesterday's accounts. As soon as Qi Ming entered the house, he was stunned by what he saw, he had never seen his old man lying in bed untidy, and he was still playing chess. Before this matter was put aside, his lord would have gotten up and dressed and gone out without listening to anyone's advice.
Luo Xicheng saw Qi Ming come in and said:
"Say it."
Qi Ming opened his mouth to report yesterday's accounts, and everything was detailed. Luo Xicheng listened and sometimes frowned, and sometimes raised a smile. After his name was finished, Luo Xicheng said:
"This is not good, our business has now extended beyond the north, and if the management is still like this, I am afraid it will not be able to cope with the future situation. Let's sit on this order with Bailijia's business first, you discuss countermeasures with the major shopkeepers, and report the accounts are no longer so chaotic, let's take the next step. ”
Qi Ming led the order to retreat, Ding Ning looked at Luo Xicheng's frowning brows and thought for a while:
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry, it's really not good, isn't there still me who is a hundred miles Wanting? If you need to, I can help you mediate between you and Lord Baili. ”
Where can Luo Xicheng stand to ask a woman for help, he interrupted Ding Ning's words and said:
"You think I need a woman to make my business?"
Ding Ning seemed to have finally seized the opportunity to provoke Luo Xicheng and let Ruo Xicheng take the initiative to drive her away, and immediately spoke:
"Didn't you use Baili Wanting to get close to Bailixi? Isn't it using me to complete the deal with Bailixi? ”
Luo Xicheng's chest seemed to be blocked when he heard this, and he couldn't deny that what Ding Ning said was the truth. Ding Ning was waiting for him to lose his temper, but he listened to Ding Ning's words and silently put down a chess piece and said that he was tired and wanted to rest. Ding Ning saw that the person who was still alive just now suddenly wilted, and couldn't help but worry:
"Are you alright? Is it burning again? ”
As she spoke, Ding Ning reached out to test her body temperature and made sure that Luo Xicheng was fine, so she covered him with a blanket and sat on the edge of the bed.
