Chapter 39: Entering the House
The carriage walked for a while and stopped in front of a corner gate in Luo Province.
"Xia Gongzi." Leshan ran over with an apologetic look on his face, "Because I want to hide it from the master, I can only ask you to go to the corner gate." ”
"It's fine." Xia Jin didn't care, lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
Leshan looked at Tiandong in embarrassment, and said to Xia Jin: "Young Master Xia, you are a ...... Can you let him wait here. ”
Xia Jin knew that Luo Qian lived in the backyard, and it was inconvenient for Tiandong to follow up, so he turned to him and said, "You are waiting here." ”
Tiandong has been used to worrying about his courage in the past two days, so he obediently answered, and still got into the carriage to wait.
Xia Jin followed Leshan into the corner gate, turned around, and finally entered a garden-like place.
"Young Master Xia, please wait." Leshan suddenly stopped nervously, and stretched out his hand to pull Xia Jin to the rockery next to him. Where is Xia Jin willing to let him touch himself? A flash of his hand was relinquished, and he watched him quietly and waited for him to speak.
As soon as she entered this garden, she heard a woman's voice, and naturally knew that this should be the back garden of Luofu. Now Leshan's nervous appearance is because he is afraid of meeting someone.
It's just that Leshan is afraid, but she is not afraid. She is here to treat Luo Sangongzi, just be generous. If you hide, sneak around, and then be discovered, you are afraid that you will be slandered as a thief. And Leshan is so afraid of being discovered at this time, and he won't come forward to testify for her as a little person, and when the time comes, she won't be able to wash it even if she jumps into the Yellow River.
Seeing that Xia Jin was not moving, Leshan was anxious, and when he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, a few people turned around on the path behind the rockery.
Leshan couldn't hide, so he had to step forward and salute a woman walking in the middle: "Villain Leshan, please say hello to Aunt Zhang." ”
Xia Jin raised his eyes, and saw that the woman had apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and her eyebrows were swiping, she was extremely beautiful, wearing a honey-colored narrow-sleeved jacket and a violet embroidered long skirt, and the beaded flowers on her head were as big as a little finger, and they were round, and she was dressed more exquisitely than Mrs. Luo.
Her heart moved, and she had a little guess about the identity of this woman.
Aunt Zhang didn't stop, she just glanced at Xia Jin casually, and asked casually, "Who is this?" ”
Leshan had no choice but to turn around, follow Aunt Zhang's steps towards the road, and replied, "This is the third son's classmate, come to visit the third son." ”
Aunt Zhang listened, stopped, turned around and looked Xia Jin up and down.
Xia Jin stood there, looking at her.
"Which kid are you?" Aunt Zhang asked suddenly, her attitude was quite gentle.
"Chengnan Xia family." Xia Jin said.
Linjiang City is surrounded by rivers on three sides and backed by mountains on one side. Although the city is not large, it has four gates, but it is also divided into four areas: east, west, south and north. The eastern part of the city is flat, and the people who live in it are all wealthy families or official eunuchs; The south of the city is close to the east of the city, and rich merchants, small officials, and small landlords with rich families are all crowded into this area; In the west of the city, because of its close proximity to the mountain peaks, the terrain is cramped and uneven, and most of the people living in it are small families and poor households; The residents in the north of the city are between the south and west of the city, and there is a feeling of being mixed.
Aunt Zhang heard that the child's family lived in the south of the city, so she didn't care, and handed her hand to the maid beside her with a slight bow: "Let's go." "Keep going.
It wasn't until Aunt Zhang and her party turned a corner and couldn't see that Leshan straightened up and said to Xia Jin: "Young Master Xia, please." ”
Xia Jin glanced at him and followed him inside.
SF Garden walked for a while and passed two more arches, and Leshan took Xia Jin into a courtyard.
"Leshan, you're back. Childe asked several times. A maid greeted him and said angrily.
Seeing Xia Jin in a blink of an eye, she hurriedly squatted down and saluted: "Young Master Xia, are you here?" My son-in-law is waiting for you in the house. ”
"Hmm." Xia Jin nodded.
This maid is Luo Qian's personal maid, called Caijian, she saw it last time she came. Luo Qian also has a mustache, which seems to be called ruler.
When I entered the outhouse, I didn't stop at the foot of the colored paper, and directly opened the curtain in the inner room.
When Xia Jin entered, he saw that Luo Qian was still sitting on the bed, closing his eyes and recuperating. However, her face was a little better than the last time she came, and it was no longer so gray and scary.
"Childe, Mr. Xia is here." Qi Su whispered in his ear, then moved a stool, put it in front of the bed, and turned to make tea.
Luo Qian slowly opened his eyes.
Xia Jin walked up to him and bowed: "Young Master Luo." ”
Luo Qian nodded slightly: "Sit." Reaching out from the quilt, "Excuse me...... Let's take a look. ”
Colored paper hurriedly stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thin wrists like bamboo poles.
Xia Jin didn't say much, stretched out his hand, carefully took the pulse, and after a few breaths, he retracted his hand.
Luo Qian, who had his eyes slightly closed, opened his eyes again: "How?" ”
Xia Jin nodded: "The situation has improved, and after taking medicine for a while, Luo Gongzi can get out of bed and walk around." ”
Luo Qian stared at Xia Jin, a shallow smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said in a weak voice: "There is Lao Xia Gongzi." ”
Xia Jin bowed, stood up and walked to the table, wrote down the prescription, and handed it to Luo Qian.
Luo Qian read the prescription carefully and nodded: "Thank you." He motioned to open the bamboo pillow next to him and put the prescription inside.
After doing this, he said, "Give it to Mr. Xia...... Seal ten taels of thanks. Saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Xia Jin, "When I get well, I will come to the door to thank you." ”
A faint smile appeared on Xia Jin's face: "Young Master Luo is polite." ”
Luo Qian glanced at her steadily, nodded slightly, and slowly closed his eyes.
Xia Jin turned around and walked out.
"Young Master Xia, the slave will send you." The colored paper hurriedly rushed to the door and raised the beaded curtain.
When Xia Jin went out, the colored paper followed. When she came down the steps, she took two steps forward briskly, walked half a step behind Xia Jin, and asked with a smile, "How old is Xia Gongzi this year?" ”
Xia Jin glanced at her.
The color note is smiling at this time, the two dimples on the side of the mouth are looming, the bright big eyes are like two crescent moons, and the upturned corners of the mouth show a little bit of small tiger teeth, which looks particularly innocent and lively and cute, which makes people unconsciously feel good, and they are willing to talk to her.
The two maids beside Luo Qian are not simple.
Xia Jin sighed in his heart, but his face forced a touch of blush, pretending to be uninvolved and shy, lowered his eyelids, looked at the ground and replied, "It's fourteen." ”
"Childe is only fourteen years old?" The color note stopped, covered her mouth with one hand, and her eyes were wide open, and she looked very cute in surprise.
Seeing her expression, Xia Jin was relieved. She and Xia Qi are not in good health, they are thinner than their peers, and they look like they are only twelve or thirteen years old. The color note pretended to be surprised, but it seemed a little fake.
She didn't believe it, and with the caution of Mrs. Luo and Mr. Luo, they didn't send anyone to investigate her before asking her to see her again.
The colored note let out a long breath and said with a smile: "The child's medical skills are so good, but he is only fourteen years old, which really surprises the slave maid." Then he lifted his feet and walked on.
Xia Jin smiled, did not respond, and continued to walk out side by side with her.
Cai Jian tilted his head again and looked at Xia Jin playfully: "I don't know where Gongzi's medical skills were learned, but he is a few points more powerful than Ling Zun." ”
"My family used to have a rough envoy who swept the floor, she was a hidden master, her ancestors had been imperial doctors, and later she was sold into slavery for offending the nobles in Beijing. In order to visit relatives, they were sold everywhere and came to my house. At that time, she was close to knowing her fate, alone, and her relatives were no longer alive. When she saw that I was qualified, she passed on her ancestral medical skills to me. ”
"I didn't expect that Xia Gongzi would have such an adventure." Cai Ji looked at Xia Jin's eyes with envy and amazement, this emotion is very real.
Xia Jin smiled shyly.
"Is Childe ready to be a Langzhong for the rest of his life?" Colored note asked again.
Xia Jin's mood immediately fell. He looked at the ground in front of him and whispered, "I still hope to be famous." If you have merit and fame, you have a status in being a man, so that you will not be called around. ”
