Chapter 9: Who is sick?

In the second half of the night, it began to rain again, and it didn't stop, Hitomi went to close the window, and the rain that seeped in wet half of the window, and the air in the wind was filled with moisture, and it couldn't be dispersed, and the insects chirped, disturbing people's dreams, and An Qingming slept quite unsteadily.

When she woke up, it was dark, An Qingming changed her clothes, and when she saw her get up, she immediately called the girl to fetch the washing water and served her to finish grooming.

Turn the weeping flower gate, go around the bluestone slab, and then go inside is the small courtyard of Qing Xiu, the wet air is filled with the fragrance of purple locust, and then go inside is the incense ash gas covers the fragrance of flowers.

Mrs. An knelt on the futon and chanted, the nurse and the maid asked Qin to guard in front of the door, the two saw her to salute, but she stopped, the nurse came forward to pull her shirt: "Why did you come out after wearing so little, the fog is cold in the morning." See if I don't teach Hitomi's unruly girl. ”

"That's what I'm going to wear," An Qingming knew that the nurse felt sorry for her, "I got up early and practiced martial arts for a while, and I was still sweating on my body." ”

"Then you can't wear such a point, one cold and one hot are the most likely to get sick." The nurse looked at her very disapprovingly, motioned for Wenqin to stay here, and hurriedly went to get clothes for An Qingming.

An Qingming knew that she didn't listen to her, so she simply didn't say anything more.

The Buddha shrine is high, the incense burner is curling, the Bodhisattva is above, the eyebrows are compassionate, and the scriptures are recited in the middle of the thin incense mist to look at her followers.

An Qingming took off the gold and silver jewelry and handed it to Wen Qin, stepped forward and knelt behind Mrs. An to salute.

She has had a happy face in this life, and she has also cried at night, thinking that she has a clear conscience and abides by the family style, but she stumbles all the way and is not stable.

Mrs. An finally got up, turned around and saw her daughter looking up at the Buddha shrine in a daze.

Is it the flesh that fell from her body, Mrs. An motioned for her to get up, and only when she went out did she ask, "Did you encounter something unpleasant?" ”

The nurse stood outside holding the cloak for a long time, and now she finally saw the opportunity, and put the cloak on An Qingming's body, this time she was satisfied.

An Qingming pinched her cloak: "It's nothing, I just want to talk to my mother." ”

Mrs. An didn't tear her down, and said, "Since you're here, come and have a meal with me." ”

Mrs. An believes in Buddhism, since her husband left, she has been a half cultivator, all the food is vegetarian, An Qingming has been eating in her own yard after taking charge of the house, but every other day Mrs. An comes here to do it, and the tea and light rice are also beautiful over the delicacies of the mountains and seas.

Halfway through the meal, Hitomi came over, looked left and right, and stood outside the door waiting.

An Qingming thought that there was something to find in Zhuangzi, so she asked her to come in and say.

Hitomi glanced at Mrs. Ann and leaned forward to whisper.

An Qingming was a little stunned, didn't put down the chopsticks, and said to Tong'er: "Then take it, reward the person who came over, and pick a time to return the gift." ”

When Mrs. An saw her like this, she knew that it was not Zhuangzi's business, she just asked about Zhuangzi's affairs, and she didn't take the side but asked about her daughter's private affairs, so she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Seeing that she was silent and used chopsticks to light the rice, Mrs. An asked with a smile, "But which son came to the door?" ”

An Qingming was quite helpless: "Mother! ”

It was originally a joke, but seeing that she didn't refute it, Mrs. An's sickly face showed a little light, with a smile, vaguely revealing a little of the grace of her youth: "Isn't it true?" ”

An Qingming raised her hand to give her the cloth: "Let's eat first." ”

Mrs. An was extremely obedient and almost silently at the dinner table, but this time it was a little difficult, and she shortened the time of a meal by a cup of tea.

Mrs. An guessed not quite right, Brother Gongzi didn't come to the door, it was Brother Gongzi's little servant who came to the door, bringing several boxes of medicinal herbs, apparently afraid that she would get sick.

It's not that he hasn't sent things to Anfu before, but she returned them as they were, and she didn't care what mood he was. In the past few days, her attitude towards him has improved, maybe Xu Huaian feels that she is bathed in the sun again, and she is so brilliant that she can't look good, and she sent someone to send something over.

This time, it was rare that An Qingming did not let people send it back.

An Qingming lowered her head, and the Bodhisattva treasure was brushed in her mind, as if she could see her heart, revealing her careful thoughts at a glance.

But what could she do?

After eating, I went to the teahouse, and the teahouse was still full of people, so it was not lively. I went to see a few counters, and the tea sold badly or badly, but there were occasional large quantities of returns, either the tea was too wet, or the fire was too big. On the way back, I met the second uncle and the brocade dressed in brocade clothes talking and laughing, I didn't know what to say, the man patted the second uncle's shoulder and laughed so much that his eyes couldn't see.

An Qingming glanced at it twice and left on a detour.

When she went back at night, Tong'er changed her clothes for her, and said while tying her belt: "The son of the Xu Mansion seems to be sick." ”

The branches in front of the window swayed.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know," Hitomi continued, "I happened to meet the doctor when I went over, and Mrs. An personally sent it, and I heard them tell me how Childe's illness was......

Hitomi didn't hear it very really, and the communication was vague, An Qingming said in her heart, why did she suddenly get sick? Didn't you catch a cold yesterday? He looks strong and healthy, but he doesn't look like a sick man, right?

"Big girl?" Hitomi called out to her, and she straightened her clothes, "Do you think that's okay?" ”

An Qingming nodded, and asked again, "Did she say anything when you met Mrs. Xu today?" ”

Hitomi recalled: "I didn't say anything, I just asked people to take the things, saying that I would like to thank you." ”

Thank you, An Qingming sneered in her heart, if Gongzi Xu really got sick because of her cold, it would be strange if Mrs. Xu didn't hate her to death, and thanked her.

An Qingming thought about it left and right, and decided to go to the Xu Mansion tomorrow to take a look, if it wasn't for her reason, if it was her reason, it would be fine......

Then you should take a look, the tea sent to the capital is almost ready, and it is time to give Xu County a look.

At night, someone sent a letter, and when it was unfolded, the number of words was not much, and it was scattered so that people couldn't understand it, but An Qingming sneered at a glance, and after reading it carefully, he let the candle flame lean on it, and the tongue of fire instantly engulfed the letter and turned into ashes.

Early in the morning of the second day, An Qingming planned to go directly to Xu's mansion, and ordered someone to prepare gifts and tea.

Who knew that he was dragged by someone before he went out.

Liu Ruyu rushed in like a flame, and before she could get close to An Qingming, she felt very hot.

Liu Ruyu put her arms around her neck, rubbed on her shoulders, and wanted the whole person to hang on her body, squeaking and screaming: "Qingming, I'm angry!" I want to kill someone! ”

An Qingming pulled her down from her body and carried her into the house, Liu Ruyu didn't follow, the whole person still hung on her, roaring and shouting: "Do you know how much of a fool Zhou Xu is, he actually kissed me and me in front of me and Mengjiao, I was on the painting boat The two of them also fed each other wine, so angry that I gave her all the things on the painting boat - don't say it, the craftsmanship of the master of 'Wen Yulou' is not bad, but I don't know if I am willing to send it away." ”

This topic is crooked enough.

chattered for a long time, accusing Zhou Xu of all crimes, and finally remembered to ask: "Are you okay?" ”

"Please, when you remember, I'll be fine."

"Oops," Liu Ruyu touched her nose and leaned over to hug her arm to please her, "I'm not too angry, I know that my senior sister's martial arts are still very good." How can he be like Zhou Xu's bastard, he should be drowned! ”

An Qingming was shaken by her and her arm hurt.

She pulled out her arm and said with a smile: "I hate him and don't like him, I knew that I shouldn't have saved him and let him drown." ”

Liu Ruyu: "......"

After a pause, she said, "Actually, that's not what I meant. ”

"Okay," An Qingming stopped teasing her, "What are you doing here?" ”

Liu Ruyu pouted: "It's just that I don't feel comfortable, and I don't know who to talk to, so I came to you." ”

An Qingming and Liu Ruyu grew up together since childhood, An Qingming had bad bones when she was a child, and Master An sent her to the dart bureau to practice martial arts with her old friend. The two of them have grown up together since they were children, this girl's family is not quite the same as the girls from other people's homes, one is in the vertical and horizontal shopping mall to drill camp calculations, one is superior in martial arts shouting and shouting and killing, and the other girls can't get along, the peers around are married and become brides, and only the two of them are also fateful.

After talking about her own business for a long time, Liu Ruyu finally remembered to ask about the things she ignored.

"By the way, what's the matter with you and Xu Huai'an?"

Her tone was a little unkind, An Qingming knew that she didn't look at Xu Huai'an, Xu Huai'an's reputation was notoriously bad in Sanjiang County, and it wasn't that his character was bad, but if you think about it, the son cultivated by the champion master's family is not a martial artist, and he spends all day drinking with the children of the merchants' families, how good can this reputation be?

Xu Huai'an doesn't have much patience for anything, and the only patience may be used on An Qingming.

Since the day he came to Sanjiang County, Xu Huai'an has spent five years on An Qingming, five years is not long, not short, so that the infant child can read the scriptures, and the daughter of the boudoir can be a wife and mother, but the willows on the embankment have not changed, and the water in the river still flows.

An Qingming is still the cold, indifferent, gentle An Qingming.

She has always turned Xu Huaian away thousands of miles away, and she can't wait to take a detour when she sees him, why haven't the two become so close after seeing them for a few days, Liu Ruyu can't figure it out.

"What can I do?" An Qingming explained, "Thanks to him, Xu Xianling bought a large number of 'monthly drink' tea, intending to give it to the nobles in Beijing. ”

Liu Ruyu was stunned: "Really fake? And such a good thing?! Does that Xu Huai'an really have such a ability? ”

"Why not, Xu Gongzi's ability is great." An Qingming joked.

Liu Ruyu pursed her lips, her mind turned back and forth a few times, lowered her head and whispered: "That's fine, so that your reputation is getting bigger and bigger, who dares to move your position as the big shopkeeper?" The restless second uncle of your family should also stop for a few days. ”

Whether to stop or not to stop is not An Qingming's words, An Qingming still wishes that he would not stop.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the fever is very dry.

Liu Ruyu's body seemed to be hit by a series of firecrackers, and it was about to crackle when she moved a little, and after she had eaten and drunk enough the day before yesterday, she found that Zhou Xu had the intention of staying in the painting boat, and pointed to the bed in the inner room with light gauze and half-covered, and raised her eyebrows contemptuously and asked her: "What's the matter, you want to stay together." ”

Although she is a daughter who has not left the cabinet, she understands this, she is ashamed and annoyed at the market price, she picks up the teacup and smashes it on Zhou Xu's head, Zhou Xu scolds and dodges it, the exit is ridicule, she really can't bear it, the whip turned around Zhou Xu twice before jumping away from the painting boat.

After returning home, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and practiced with two masters in the martial arts field, and the two masters were forced by her to hide in the house and pretend to be quails, and they didn't come out to zama this morning.
