Chapter 112: Preparing for Marriage

Seeing that Yuan Changqing could still pull her to talk, Shanniang thought that his illness was not as serious as the old doctor and the little servants thought. After drinking the medicine, he urged her to go, and she obediently left.

But after she went out for a turn, she came back to take a look at it uneasily, so this glance surprised her again.

I saw that Yuan Changqing, who was asleep on the bed, was short of breath, his cheeks were red, and the temperature on his forehead was touched by his hand, and he could clearly feel that it was a little higher than just now. She didn't dare to alarm him, so she turned around and went out, asking Yan Feng, "Why is it so heavy all of a sudden?!" ”

Yan Feng said aggrievedly: "I haven't been lightly punished. And he said, "Our lord just doesn't want the girl to worry." ”

Shanniang was silent for a while. Looking back now, he insisted on talking to her so much, not only because he didn't want her to worry about it, but also because he was worried that she would have a dislike for him......

So she sighed and instructed Yanfeng Sanhe and the others to prepare some ice water and handkerchiefs, and she turned around and went into the bedroom again.

Sitting at the head of the bed, watching him breathe rapidly in his sleep, she covered his forehead again, only to feel that the person in front of her was so strange.

Whether it was in the past life or in this life, in her impression, he was a strong being, as if he never needed others, and he could live well alone, but she never thought that he would also have such a sick and weak time.

This appearance made her feel an indescribable softness.

Yuan Changqing's forehead was very wide, from the hairline to the black eyebrows, just enough to accommodate one of her palms. At this time, it was already winter, and Shanniang, who was afraid of the cold and cold in winter, was cold in her fingers. The cold hand covered Yuan Changqing's forehead, and he suddenly felt comfortable for a while, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Didn't you tell not to come?"

He whispered, a pair of eyes that were wet from the high heat with a bit of confusion, and her heart trembled.

"You sleep yours." She said.

While talking, Sanhe came in with a basin of cold water. She rubbed a cold towel and came over, and was hesitating whether to cross Shanniang and put it on Yuan Changqing, Shanniang had already reached out to take it and personally put the cold towel on Yuan Changqing's forehead.

When she was doing this, Yuan Changqing looked at her silently with his eyes open. So she put her hand over his eyes and said softly, "Close your eyes and sleep for a while." My nurse said that sleeping is the best remedy. ”

As soon as she said this, Yuan Changqing felt that he seemed to be really tired, so he closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

In the middle, he was woken up once by Shanniang, and it turned out that the medicine was boiled. He wanted to sit up and take the medicine by himself, but Shan Niang was worried that he would catch a cold, so she did not allow him to sit up, but helped him herself, fed him the medicine, and then pressed him back into the quilt, and then reached out to cover his forehead to test his temperature.

Xu is sleep really helped, at this time the temperature on his forehead seemed to drop a little, Shanniang couldn't help but breathe a little relieved, and said to Yuan Changqing: "Liangfeng went to invite your master, I calculated, they will not arrive tomorrow morning at the earliest." ”

Yuan Changqing smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, it's really nothing, I've been like this since I was a child, I usually don't get sick, but when I'm sick, I just have a high fever." Just wait for the heat to subside. ”

Shanniang wanted to say that she had to retreat, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was a bit unlucky, so she tucked the corners of the quilt for him, and also looked at him and smiled: "Sure enough, after sleeping, the heat has subsided a little, so you can sleep again." ”

Yuan Changqing looked at her, suddenly stretched out his hand from the quilt, pulled her hand into the quilt, and said, "Your hands are so cold." ”

Shanniang was about to reply, but he had already closed his eyes, but the hand holding her under the quilt never let go.

When Monk Dehui arrived, it was already early in the morning of the next day. After showing Yuan Changqing's pulse, the old monk came out and smiled at his wife and Shanniang who were guarding outside: "It's not a big deal, I've already injected him." He smiled kindly at Shanniang, "Scared, aren't you?" This child has been like this since he was a child, if he doesn't get sick, once he gets sick, it's very scary. ”

Just as the old monk said, and as Yuan Changqing always assured Shanniang, he looked really scary when he fell ill, but once the fever subsided, he was really like a little monster, and in the blink of an eye, he was alive again.

However, the wife was not at ease—at least that's what Shanniang explained to Yuan Changqing—so she kept him on the bed for two more days, and waited with good food and drink, until she saw that his face was finally no longer so pale, and then she picked up the reserve that a fiancée should have, and retracted her embroidery upstairs to pretend to be a young lady.

After recovering from his illness, the first major thing Yuan Changqing tried to do was to negotiate with his master, hoping to set a marriage date as much as possible.

In fact, when he came from the capital, he originally planned to persuade the master with Shanniang, but now he has changed his mind.

In Yuan Changqing's eyes, Shanniang has always been a hearty girl who says whatever she thinks in her heart. But after he confessed to her, he felt more and more that Xu was as straightforward as she had shown in other aspects, but in the face of feelings, she was incomprehensibly restrained and withdrawn. For two years, he had been revealing his emotions to her, both openly and secretly, and hoping to get some response from her, but she had always closed her heart like a shell, that is, he could read between the lines that she was gradually becoming less defensive of him, that is, he could feel her tenderness hidden behind words from her care for him, but she never said a word, and even if he showed a little persecution here, she would retreat from him, so that after his heat subsided, He couldn't shake her hand like he had done before......

Yuan Changqing has always been a very patient person, not to mention that she refuses to speak, and he can also observe from her casual demeanor that she is not indifferent to him. Only this was enough for him to wait patiently for her, so he was not in a hurry, and when he married someone back, he had time to slowly grind what he wanted......

When Yuan Changqing wants to get something, he always has one set of strategies after another, where is the fifth master his opponent. So, Shanniang, who was reading the book leisurely on the embroidery floor, was blindsided when she received the notice from the old lady.

She never imagined that she would be a bride on the second day of the lunar month!

And the day the old lady told her happened to be the twelfth ...... of the winter moon In other words, there are only twenty days left before she gets on the sedan chair......

The old man said to Shanniang with a righteous face: "Changsheng still has important things to do in the capital, we can't help him, at least we can't drag him back." ”

Shanniang: "......"

She was stunned and silent here, and Yuan Changqing, who was rarely put into the inner house by the old man, saw this, and hurriedly gave the old lady a look.

After the old lady went out, he sat next to Shanniang, looked at her and said, "Don't worry, I have already arranged everything in the capital." When we return to Beijing, we will get married in the mansion, but we will only stay there until the end of the Chinese New Year. I have already set up a small three-hall house in Rende Lane in Fu Shou Fang, and we will move there in a few years. ”

Shanniang stared at him blankly. At this time, the only thought in her mind was: Why is it different from her previous life?!

In her previous life, she only got married in the autumn a year later, and as Yuan Changqing said, he only moved out with her after the New Year in the old house...... But their home is not in Fushoufang......

"Blessing...... Shoufang? She muttered.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "It's a congratulatory gift from His Royal Highness the Prince." After a pause, he said, "You should like it, there is also a small building in the backyard, which is very similar to your small building." ”

"You ......," Shan Niang hesitated, "what are you helping the prince with now?" ”

It was the first time she had asked him what he was doing. In the past, he always took the initiative to tell her his plans. After a few minutes, Yuan Changqing wanted to reach over to shake her hand, but Shanniang glanced left and right, and retracted her hand into the sleeve cage with a weak heart.

Yuan Changqing looked at her and sighed silently, rested his elbows on the small table, pretended not to have any small movements, and said softly: "Externally, it is to help sort out the collection of books of His Royal Highness the Prince, but in fact, it is to collect and sort out some ......."

Shanniang waved her hand at him, looked around, and said, "Don't tell me if you shouldn't know." ”

Yuan Changqing's dark eyes looked at her for a while, then he smiled slightly and said, "I don't have any secrets about you." I can tell you anything you want to know. ”

So, Shanniang's face flushed.

*・*・*

There are only twenty days left in the divorce period. For a while, the fifth old man's mansion was busy with someone turning over on his back.

Fortunately, since Shanniang's engagement, the old lady has begun to prepare a dowry for her, and after two years of accumulation, all the items that should be prepared have been prepared. Now Shanniang doesn't need to worry about her dowry, she just needs to take care of her own affairs and the personnel arrangements around her.

This marriage, for Shanniang, has long been destined to stretch out her head and shrink her head, so after she was stunned, she didn't bother to worry about anything long, long and short, and only hurriedly commanded her people every day, packed up her treasures, and then followed her to marry......

In her previous life, only Wufu Lu'an married her, and at that time, the nurse had already gone home to raise her, and Sanhe had also married. And in this life, there have been many changes that have not been seen in the previous life, such as the nurse, such as Sanhe - the merchant who looked at Sanhe right has not appeared yet. Therefore, the people around Shanniang at this time are neat and tidy.

Although there was no slavery in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the servants who signed a long contract with the master's family did not have much personal freedom. But this kind of important person leaving his hometown must always be consensual. So Shanniang asked Li's mother.

Li's mother smiled: "Do you still need to ask?" I'm going to follow the girl. ”

Wufu is still the same as in his previous life, full of longing for the prosperity of the capital, and clasped his hands and said: "I also want to follow the girl!" I'm going to see the capital! ”

Shanniang turned back to Sanhe and asked, "What about you?" Your parents are here, do you want to stay? ”

She thought that Sanhe would probably choose to stay, but she didn't want Sanhe to smile unexpectedly: "I also follow the girl." ”

Shanniang couldn't help but be surprised. Among the several maids, Sanhe is the oldest, and he is seventeen years old this year. And she has only one daughter at home, and as far as Shanniang knows, her father and mother are now looking for relatives for her.

Wufu asked Sanhe bluntly: "You also want to follow?" Didn't you say that your father and mother were kissing for you? ”

"yes, that's why I'm following the girl." Sanhe was also blunt, looked at Shanniang and said, "Girl, don't take me, I don't want to marry the person my father and mother fancies." ”

She has always had an idea, so Shanniang joked with her: "Then who do you have a crush on?" Do you want me to be a matchmaker? ”

Sanhe blushed suddenly, twisted his hands and glared at Shanniang and said, "It is obvious that the girl is going to be a bride by herself, so I see if anyone wants to marry?!" ”

Shanniang couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. was smiling, only to hear Lu'an also say, "I also want to follow the girl." ”

Shanniang was stunned. To be honest, she didn't want to take Lu'an, so she said to Lu'an: "You just stay, you are still young, and your family is here......"

Before she finished speaking, Lu'an pounced, hugged her knees, looked up at her, her eyes were red with grievances, and she choked up: "Does the girl think I'm stupid?" I know I'm not as capable as my two sisters, but I won't lose the girl's face, and the girl doesn't want me. ”

Lu'an has a silent temperament, since he came, he has always said less and done more, and even the picky Wufu likes her diligence very much, and when he saw this, he stepped forward to plead for her and said: "Girl, take her, anyway, a few of us are still in one place, there is a beginning and an end, isn't it good?" ”

Li's mother also said: "This girl is an honest girl, so stay with the girl." ”

Lian Sanhe said: "The girl is going to marry far away to Beijing, and I don't know what the situation is over there, so I always have to bring more familiar people around me to help the girl." ”

Thinking that there are so many things in this life that are different from the previous life, looking at Lu'an's red eyes, Shanniang's heart softened, and she sighed and said: "When you arrive in the capital, if you are homesick, I will not send you back, you can raise your own travel expenses!" ”

When Lu'an heard this, he laughed with tears in his eyes.

Because Yuan Changqing told the master about his plan, the master also knew that they were going to move out of the Yuan family's mansion after the year. But how to say that these two young people are not yet twenty years old, the old man can't rest assured, so he sent Uncle Gui to Shanniang, and said: "Let Uncle Gui help you for a year or two, and when you settle down there, you can get started, and then call him back." ”

Shanniang couldn't imagine that the fifth master would be willing to ask Uncle Gui to help her, and she couldn't help but look at the old man and be moved.

Therefore, it's not that a family doesn't enter a door, the five masters' family, since the fifth master, is not good at expressing emotions. The fifth master was uncomfortable for a while by Shanniang's eyes, so he turned his head and drank Yuan Changqing and said, "Treat me Shan'er well!" If you are a little neglected, I will go to the capital only to ask! ”

Yuan Changqing was busy responding, and while secretly flying towards Shanniang, a shallow groove appeared on his chin.
