Chapter 108: Rescue
Before Xia Jin and Luo Qian's carriage arrived at the summer house, they saw three carriages parked outside the house from a distance. The carriage that Mrs. Xuanping Hou took today was completely different from the carriage she took when she entered the city that day, showing the style of Houfu.
She glanced around.
At this time, she was extremely lucky, and their house was located in the east of the city.
This is where the magnates live, and everyone talks about face and etiquette. Even if he was more curious about the battle of the old lady Xuanping, he would not gather at the door of the house to see the excitement, at most send one or two subordinates to come out to inquire about the situation.
"Park, park." She shouted to Lu Liang.
"Woo ......" Lu Liang hurriedly straightened the reins. The carriage came to a slow halt.
Xia Jin's carriage walked in front, and Luo Qian's carriage walked behind. At this time, seeing that her car stopped, Luofu's car also stopped.
Xia Jin sat in the car and did not move. She looked at the door guarded by the Xuanping Houfu family, and began to beat the drum in her heart.
It's not that she's afraid of the old lady Xuanping. With her courage and knowledge, even when she saw the emperor of the Celestial Empire, she had nothing to fear.
She was worried about Xia Qi.
She ran out dressed as Xia Qi, and what did Xia Qi look like at this time? Even if Xia Qi didn't come out to meet the guests under the pretext of being sick, with Cen Ziman's temperament, he would definitely go to Qingzhi Pavilion to visit the patient. As soon as she entered, didn't Xia Qi have to be fully exposed?
"Do-do......" Someone knocked on the car window outside.
Xia Jin opened the curtain of the car and saw Luo Qian standing next to the car, looking at her with an inquiring gaze.
"I ......" Xia Jin was speechless for a while.
Since Luo Qian wants to pretend to be stupid. If she doesn't reveal her identity as a woman, she can't tell him her worries. But in a hurry, she couldn't find a suitable excuse to explain why she parked here.
"Rest assured. I've already asked Leshui to inquire about the situation, and I'll know what's going on inside in a while, so let's go in again. Luo Qian said.
After a pause, he asked again: "Your house, there is no back door?" ”
"Nope." Xia Jin shook his head and glanced at Luo Qian in surprise.
She didn't expect Luo Qian to not pretend to be stupid to the end, and faintly pointed out that he knew the truth.
"Why don't you go back first?" She couldn't help but say.
When Luo Qian said that he wanted to accompany her home. She wanted to say that. It's just that Luo Qian intends to help her, and she can't bear to brush off this kindness. Now Luo Qian has figured out this matter. She couldn't help but pick up people.
You must know that if people know that she is a girl from the Xia family, then when she is with Luo Qian, it is easy for people to think crookedly. must have thought that she wanted to marry Luo Qian, so she did not hesitate to pretend to be a man to approach and seduce him.
Luo Qian was not at ease. said: "Listen to what Leshui has to say when he comes back, and then decide." ”
Xia Jin had no choice but to stop talking.
The two of them, one under the car and the other in the car, looked in the direction of the summer house, and they were silent, and the atmosphere was a little subtle and strange.
Fortunately, Leshui came back after a while, and said to Luo Qian and Xia Jinyu: "Old Mrs. Xuanping Hou specially brought Miss Cen to thank Xia Gongzi and Xia Girl. However, I heard that Miss Xia was sick and did not come out to meet the guests. Miss Shum has gone to the backyard to visit the sick. ”
Xia Jin immediately lifted his forehead.
I'm really afraid of something.
"How long has Miss Cen been in the backyard?" Luo Qian asked.
"I just went." Leshui didn't know where to inquire about the news, it was very detailed.
"Let's go. I'll go with you. Luo Qian said to Xia Jin, and then turned around and walked towards his carriage.
If Cen Ziman just went to the backyard. With Xia Qi and Calamus's cleverness, I'm afraid that it hasn't been exposed yet, and everything is still too late.
Xia Jin didn't bother to think about what would happen if she appeared with Luo Qian, and said to Lu Liang: "Let's go." ”
Lu Liang is also a person who knows the inside story, and he is also worried. When he heard the command, he immediately drove the carriage. Drove quickly towards the summer house.
A moment later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the summer house. Xia Jin waited for Luo Qian to catch up. Came in with him.
"Young Master, you can come back. The old lady is here, and the lord and the wife are asking people to look for you everywhere. When the mother-in-law guarding the door saw Xia Jin, her face was full of surprise, and she turned her face to greet Luo Qian, "Young Master Luo, you are here too?" Hurry up and please. ”
The two turned the shadow of the wall, walked up the steps quickly, and saw that in the hall, Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi were talking with the old lady Xuanping. And behind the old lady Xuanpinghou, there were only two subordinates standing.
"Brother Qi, are you back?" When Shu Shi saw Xia Jin come in, he stood up and greeted him as if he saw a savior.
"Mother." Xia Jin gave Shu Shi a slightly reassuring look, and stepped forward to salute the old lady Xuanping, "Xia Qi greets the old lady." I didn't know that the old lady came, she didn't greet her at home, and asked the old lady to forgive her sins. ”
"Hahaha." Mrs. Xuanping smiled heartily, "It was me who was rude and came here without informing." It's mine, no, how can I blame you. ”
At this time, Luo Qian stepped forward and greeted Mrs. Xuanping and the Xia family.
A few people then made a few cold noises.
In fact, except for Mrs. Xuanping Hou, everyone else didn't have a cold mind, and they were all hanging in their hearts, worried about Xia Qi in the backyard. But etiquette is like this, if you don't say two words of nonsense, it seems abnormal, so you have to be patient and play haha.
Xia Jin was impatient with this, swept his eyes into the hall, and asked Shu, "Where is my sister?" ”
"You went out early in the morning, and you didn't know your sister was sick, did you? I think it was because she suffered from the wind and cold yesterday, and she felt uncomfortable when she woke up this morning, with a headache, and her voice was so hoarse that she was almost speechless, and she was lying in bed to rest. Shu Shi glanced at Xia Jin.
"Huh? Sick? I'll take a look. Xia Jin looked worried about her sister, turned around and left, and went out quickly, resolutely not giving everyone the opportunity to tell her "Miss Cen is there".
Luo Qian hurriedly picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Alas, this kid has always been reckless." Shu Shi sighed in disgust, stood up and apologized to Mrs. Xuanpinghou, "You sit here, I'll go and call this kid back." With that, he also went out.
Originally, when Cen Ziman said that she was going to see "Xia Jin", she wanted to go to the backyard. But even if Mrs. Xuanping is old, she is still a female guest. Shu's can't leave Xia Zhengqian, the male host, to accompany the guests, but he runs to the backyard, right? She had no choice but to stay here anxiously.
Now that Luo Qian is adjusting, she can finally pull away.
Xia Jin went to the backyard like a gust of wind. As soon as I entered the second door, I saw Poria pacing back and forth anxiously there. Seeing her coming, Poria was immediately overjoyed, stepped forward and whispered, "Miss Cen came in, and she said that she wanted to visit her." When Sister Calamus heard that Xuanping was waiting for the old lady to come, she was worried that they were going to come in, so she took the young master to Qingzhi Pavilion, combed her hair, changed her clothes, and put on makeup. At this time, the young master was lying on the bed pretending to be sick. When I came out, Miss Cen was talking to the young master through the tent. ”
Xia Jin's heart was half relieved.
This calamus is clever.
She walked quickly into Qingzhi Pavilion, and heard Cen Ziman's crisp and hearty voice from afar in the room. When I entered the house, I saw Xia Qi half-lying on the bed, his face full of helplessness and awkwardness, and the tent on the bed had been lifted, Cen Ziman was sitting on the edge of the bed, reaching out to touch Xia Qi's forehead, as if he was taking his temperature.
"Uh-huh!" Xia Jin had to cough.
This cough made Xia Qi hear a sound in his ears. He avoided Cen Ziman's hand and sat up as if in amnesty. Cen Ziman also turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at Xia Jin.
"Ah, Miss Cen, are you here too?" Xia Jin pretended to be surprised, and arched his hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here." He looked at Xia Qi again, "Sister, I heard from my mother that you are sick." Is it better? ”
Xia Qi waved his hand, pointed to his throat, covered his mouth again, turned his head towards the bed, and coughed in a muffled voice.
Xia Jin looked at Cen Ziman: "Miss Cen girl, my sister has a cold and is easy to get sick, you might as well sit here." I'd like to get my sister's pulse. ”
"Oh, good." Cen Ziman looked very obedient, got up and walked to the table in the middle of the room and sat down.
The calamus, who was waiting on the side, flattened her mouth invisibly.
She said this no less than five times, but Cen Ziman didn't listen to it at all, sat down on the bed by herself, and reached out to touch the young master's forehead......
Thinking of this Miss Cen just now, the corners of Calamus's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but think: If one day Miss Cen knew that it was a man lying on the bed today, and she didn't listen to the dissuasion and insisted on touching someone's forehead, what kind of mood would it be?
Xia Jin took the pulse, dragged a large section of medical literature to Xia Qi, and instructed: "Lie down quickly, cover the quilt, and sweat well." I'll make a recipe and ask you to fry calamus. ”
As he spoke, he commanded the calamus and mint to take this and that. All of a sudden, the room was busy, and Cen Ziman, who was sitting there, was particularly in the way.
"Xia Qi" is a foreign man here, and "Xia Jin" over there is lying down again, and even his head is covered in the quilt, and if he stays any longer, Cen Ziman feels bored.
She stood up and rolled up against the quilt over there: "Miss Xia, you take care of your illness, I'll go over first." I'll come back to see you in a few days. ”
"Xia Jin" lifted a little quilt, revealing half of his face, nodded at Cen Ziman, and pointed at the iris with his finger.
Calamus immediately understood what her master meant, and said to Cen Ziman: "My girl said thank you for coming to visit the patient. When she recovers, she will go to the house in person to thank her. ”
Cen Ziman bowed slightly to "Xia Qi" politely, turned around and walked out. Calamus hurriedly opened the curtain and sent it out.
After Calamus sent Cen Ziman to the outside hall and turned back, the Xia family brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief. Xia Qi lifted the quilt and sat up, gasping for breath, and said, "I was really scared to death today." ”
Xia Jin looked at the makeup on his face and smiled at Calamus: "Yes, this makeup is very good." ”
Calamus was very happy when she was praised by her, and her face was flushed.
She couldn't learn how to learn how to walk as a man, and she couldn't go out with Xia Jin, so she had to vent her energy on learning makeup. Xia Jin was also worried that one day he would encounter something like today, so he taught his makeup skills to Calamus.
I didn't expect it to come in handy today. (To be continued)
