Chapter 227: Midsummer

Xun Qing sighed and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Grandma, Yanzi said, Mama Song's wound was broken, she bled a lot, and she fell asleep in the morning, and she didn't wake up for a long time. Swallow remembered her grandmother's instructions, so she came to ask for medicine. Kikyo said again.

Xun Qingran ordered someone to take down the food, so he let Yanzi come in, and after asking, he already had a plan in his heart.

So I asked the bellflower to take the medicine for the swallow.

"Since I gave it to you, you took it, for I promised you a long time ago. You just have to remember who is the master in this house. Xun Qingran gave the silver presented by the swallow to the swallow.

“…… Good students take care of Mama Song, when the matter is over, I have another reward. Xun Qingran asked the bellflower to take the wound medicine and handed it to Yanzi, instructed her twice, and sent her down.

Xun Qingran sighed, while being surprised why Mama Song was so kind to Xin Nu, with the injuries on her body, it was difficult to get out of bed, and she struggled to walk so far. On the one hand, I didn't feel that Jiang was still old and spicy, but Mama Song was still very calm. If Mama Song is lucky, will she be glad that she escaped? Xun Qingran smiled unconsciously, no matter how clever a little girl is, how can she not fight an old fox like Mama Song. She gave Mama Song bait, but whether Mama Song took the bait or not would not affect her goal.

Qi You is already suspicious, and with Qi You's character, he will never let it go.

After a while, Qi Wanrong brought someone over to resign. Xun Qingran had already prepared the soil instrument and asked Qi Wanrong to take it back, but it was inevitable that he would say hello again, and then arranged for someone to send Qi Wanrong out of the city.

After disposing of the affairs of the house, Xun Qingran was idle, so he changed into a neat dress, and took a few malt and jewels to the front of the courtyard.

Several of the horse-feeding servants in Liyuan were busy, some were washing the horses, some were making forage, and some were carrying bags of beans and mixing them in the forage.

Seeing that Xun Qing was coming, the little guys all stopped and bowed down to salute, and the little guy in charge of the Li Yuan called Danshen to greet him and greet him.

This morning, Qi You rode away the wind, and there were snow balls and Xiao Hei in the stable, which Xun Qingran was familiar with.

Xun Qingran waved his hand and asked them to go back to work.

Danshen drove the servants to work on the other side of the courtyard.

"Grandma," Danshen laughed, standing beside him.

"You go get busy, I'll just scrub and scrub the snow and lightning." Xun Qingran said to Salvia.

Danshen heard that Xun Qingran was not here to ride a horse, so he made up his mind.

"Grandma only takes care of the snow, lightning is sick this morning, no energy, and no grass to eat."

"Lightning sick?" When Xun Qingran heard this, he approached Xiao Hei's stable, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Hei lying listlessly in the stable. The manger was full of black beans with green salt, but Xiao Hei didn't eat a bite.

"That's good, but I've invited someone to come and see it."

"Grandma, rest assured, the fourth master has already arranged for someone to take care of it."

Xun Qingran took an apple out and greeted Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei recognized Xun Qingran, so he stood up and went to Xun Qingran's side. Xun Qingran gently stroked Xiao Hei's mane. Xiao Hei sniffed the apple in Xun Qingran's hand, and still fell back to the ground listlessly.

Xiao Hei is the youngest of these horses, usually more naughty and jumpy, and loves to eat apples the most, and today he is really sick.

Fortunately, Xueqiu was full of energy, and ate the black beans in the manger, and when he saw Xun Qing dyed, he raised his neck and screamed twice.

Xun Qingran pulled the snowball out, put on Qi You's leather apron, and still used a brush to brush the snowball. Xueqiu likes to be clean the most among several horses, and likes the small stove that Xun Qingdye added to it, and also likes Xun Qingdye to comb her, but she also has an awkward temper.

Xun Qingran was trying his best to please the snowball, and he was very hard at scrubbing.

"Madame is here, which yard are you, why do you intrude casually?"

Xun Qingran straightened up, turned around, and saw Malt pointing at a man to reprimand. The man had long hair and a shawl, and a pot of alfalfa grass in his hand, and he was tall, and at a glance, he could not tell his age, and his shabby coat was very eye-catching. But it's very raw, not a few small guys who often serve in the courtyard.

Danshen heard the movement from a distance and hurried over.

"Please forgive Madame, this stableman is a newcomer, and he doesn't know Madame, and he doesn't know the rules." Salvia do.

"This is the Governor's wife, and you haven't seen the courtesy?" Salvia said to that man again.

The man put down the big wooden basin, pressed one hand on his chest, and bowed to Xun Qingran, but it was the etiquette of a foreign race.

"Those who do not know are not guilty, so get up." Xun Qing said.

The stableman stood up straight, and Xun Qingran saw the person's face clearly. He has a beard, curly hair, and clear eyes.

Xun Qingran couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

"What's your name, why didn't you say anything?"

The stableman raised his hand and pointed to his mouth, and barked twice.

"Madame, he was a horse dealer, and he was convicted of selling horses, and he was confiscated into the army. Later, when I got sick, I was healed late, and my throat was bad. He was called a barbarian, and everyone called him mute. Danshen replied for the dumb man, "The fourth master is looking for someone who is good at raising horses, and the people below recommended him." The fourth master instructed him to take care of the lightning in the morning. ”

Qi Yu let the mute take care of Xiao Hei? It seems that this person is very important, and naturally, the horse dealer is of course the most knowledgeable about horses.

"This is for Lightning?" Xun Qing pointed to the pot of fresh alfalfa, and looked closely, it seemed that there were other ingredients added to it.

The mute nodded, picked up the tub and walked to the stable, first swept the black beans aside, and then poured the alfalfa in the basin into the manger, making a strange noise in his mouth.

Xiao Hei didn't know whether he smelled the smell of alfalfa, or heard the mute cry, got up from the ground, walked to the manger and smelled it, and really began to eat. The mute walked into the stable again, and circled around Xiao Hei, touching here and patting there, Xiao Hei raised his hind legs and kicked the dumb man.

Xun Qingran's heart tightened, but he didn't see any movement from the dumb man, Xiao Hei kicked in the air, and the dumb man had already come out of the stable, and bowed down to let Xun Qingran look at Xiao Hei again.

Xiao Hei is no longer wilting and drooping, he ate alfalfa and went to eat the black beans.

Danshen looked happy on the side, "Dumb, there is really you." ”

Xun Qingran also felt that the dumb man had a good hand for horses, and couldn't help but look at him differently. This dumb coat, the old one can no longer see the original color, the patches are stacked on top of each other, the stitches, you can count how many stitches you can sew from a distance, I think it is the dumb man sewed it himself, there are also a few patches, the stitches are finer, but it is uneven, but not as good as the thick stitches to look pleasing to the eye.

"Why didn't I send you clothes?" Xun Qingran asked.

The mute gestured with his hand to his own size, and then to the point that the clothes were too small to wear.

"Back to grandma, the dumb body is too tall, there are no suitable clothes, and the little one is about to go to find a needlework for the eldest lady." Salvia do.

"I see." Xun Qingran nodded, and ordered Baozhu to go to the sewing room, find someone to measure the size of this dumb man, and make new clothes.

The mute bowed to Xun Qingran again, his eyes shining. Xun Qing lost his mind for a moment, and it turned out that his dumb eyes were not black, but a faint blue-gold.

A little girl ran in from outside, "Grandma, the adults are back and have entered the gate." ”

Xun Qingran took out the pocket watch from his arms, it was already noon, and he had been in this courtyard for so long, Qi You was back for lunch at this time.

Qi You once told her that she couldn't come to Liyuan by herself.

Xun Qingran turned around and walked out, suddenly stopped, coughed dryly twice, and gave the malt a look.

Mai Mai immediately took out the pie of the eldest sister's head and said to Salvia: "Grandma has been here, you are not allowed to tell anyone, it is anyone, do you hear clearly?" If so, I know, I'll ask you. ”

Danshen nodded again and again, swearing that he would not say it himself, and he would also tell the other little guys not to tell Qi You.

Xun Qingran hurriedly took people out of Liyuan.

Looking at Xun Qing's back, Danshen wiped the sweat on his head, the dumb man was so tidy, and his blue and golden eyes were smiling.

…………

The upper room of the main courtyard

Qi You came in from the outside and saw Xun Qingran sitting in front of the window, bowing his head and embroidering a handkerchief.

"The fourth master is back." Xun Qingran raised his head when he heard the movement, came up to help Qi You take off his coat, and ordered someone to fetch water, and waited for Qi You to freshen up.

"Let's set the table." Qi Yu said.

Xun Qingran hurriedly ordered someone to put the food on the table, and she was cautious at first, but when she saw that Qi You didn't mention anything, and her face was the same as usual, she was relieved, Qi You didn't know about her going to Liyuan.

"It's okay next morning, I won't go to the yamen." After eating, Qi Yu said.

Xue Tuan chirped and walked to Xun Qingran's side, and it was time to feed again.

"This little guy is eating more and more." Xun Qingran said while feeding the pieces of meat to the snow ball.

"In a few days, you can release your wings and let it try to fly." Qi Yu said.

The two gossiped for a long time about how to train the snow group.

Xun Qingzhi is a little tired, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter these days.

"I'll go wash it." Qi Yu stood up and said.

Xun Qingran ordered someone to send a bucket of water to the bathroom, and Qi Yu went in to take a bath.

Xun Qingran closed her eyes on the couch and fell asleep in a daze.

In her sleep, Xun Qingran suddenly felt as if she was in a furnace, and she slowly opened her eyes, but saw Qi You's face close in front of her. Xun Qingran blinked, it turned out that Qi You had already come out of the shower and was leaning over her. Qi You's hair was scattered, and he was wearing only a royal blue home's robe, which was not tightly tied, revealing a large part of his chest.

Qi Yu saw that Xun Qing had woken up, and lowered his head and rubbed Xun Qing's nose with the tip of his nose, and there was a certain meaning in his eyes.

Xun Qingran stretched. Qi Yu recently, how to say it, it can't be said that he needs to ask for too much, but he is also a little too enthusiastic, at least Xun Qingran thinks so. She likes heat in winter, but in summer, she likes coolness. Qi You's body is a stove in winter, and it is very comfortable to hug together, but in summer, it is an oven.

Xun Qingran glanced at the scenery on Qi You's chest, and it was still the greedy mood that prevailed, so he pretended not to wake up yet, stretched out his hand to push Qi You away, and turned over to avoid the oven.

Qi You didn't have the consciousness that he had become an oven, so he followed over and hugged Xun Qingran again.
