Doctor Yao sat in the chair in front of the bed to take Master Chu’s pulse, while Gu Yi sat at the table.
Seeing her enter, Gu Yi opened his mouth to say something, but Master Chu had already uttered a weak voice, “Yue’er.”
Song Wan Yue walked over, “Master, how are you feeling today?”
“Much better ……”
Because of the excessive blood loss, Master Chu’s face still did not have much blood on it, “I heard from Doctor Yao that yesterday, thanks to you thinking of using strong wine to cool me down, I was able to wake up early, Master thank you.”
“Master’s words are too much, I just read a recipe in a book thinking it always works when I try it, or thanks to Master Yao’s exquisite medical skills.”
“All in all, thanks to you two, I’m afraid I won’t recover for a while. Don’t lose your martial arts skills, come to the courtyard every day on time to practice, and ask me if you don’t understand anything.”
“Yue’er knows.”
Master Chu nodded with a smile and said towards the three, “I’m fine now, you all go back, I still want to sleep again.”
“There has to be someone to watch over you, I have to give Madam Song needles later, let the young master watch, he has nothing to do day in and day out anyway.”
Master Yao said.
“That’s fine, then I’ll trouble Young Master Gu.”
After saying that, Master Chu seemed to be sleepy and closed his eyes.
Doctor Yao got up, packed up the medicine box on his back and headed out, Song Wan Yue followed him, the two of them had just walked out of the house when Master Chu opened his eyes again and looked at Gu Yi.
Gu Yi got up and walked over, hearing the footsteps in the courtyard disappear, leaning down, Master Chu raised his right hand and lovingly touched his head, “Scared, right? Don’t worry, I’m very lucky, I won’t die until that day.”
……
Xiao Si rushed the carriage to fetch Xu over, hearing that Song Lin had a wind chill, Xu wanted to go over to see him, but was stopped by Song Wan Yue, “My father is sleeping, we’d better not disturb him, after you finish sticking the needles, my father is almost well. ”
When Xu finished sticking the needles, Song Lin was still sleeping, so Song Wan Yue couldn’t stop her, so she let Xu go over and stayed behind to study medicine with Dr. Yao.
The doctor was obviously not in good spirits today, and after teaching him for a while, he couldn’t hold on any longer, “That’s all for today, I need to rest, you can read a medical book by yourself.”
Song Wan Yue took a medical book and went back to her courtyard, just after she left Dr Yao’s courtyard, a carriage drove by and Song Si, who was lifting the curtain on the carriage, saw her, “Yue’er!”
“Big brother.”
Song Wan Yue was surprised, “Why are you coming over?”
“Today the academy is closed and there has been no one at home to pick me up, so Brother Qin Qian sent me back. When I arrived home and heard that Eldest Uncle was ill, I asked Brother Qin Qian to send me over.”
In the morning, when Xiao Si went to pick up Xu, Song Shu and the three of them had already gone to the county town to set up their stalls, so they had no idea that Song Lin was sick, and no one had gone to pick him up.
Qin Qian came out of the carriage and nodded towards Song Wan Yue, “Sister Song.”
Song Wangyue nodded politely in return, “My courtyard is not convenient for outsiders to visit, so please wait here for a moment.”
Qin Qian did not feel the least bit neglected and said with a smile, “Be my guest.”
Song Wan Yue led Song Si towards his courtyard, and when the two were far away, the smile on Qin Qian’s face disappeared as he surveyed the contiguous mansions and instructed the coachman, “Walk ahead and find a spacious place to park the carriage.”
……
Song Lin had just woken up shortly after, and as he himself said, after sleeping under the covers and sweating profusely nothing happened at all.
“Eldest uncle.”
Song Si walked into the house along with Song Wan Yue.
Song Lin snapped his head, “No wonder I was in a daze this morning and thought there was something going on today, forgetting that Si’er had the day off.”
The force he used was not small, and red marks immediately appeared on his tanned face.
“How did you get back?”
Song Si said what he had just said to Song Wan Yue again, “How is Eldest Uncle feeling?”
“It’s fine, let’s hurry home.”
Song Lin felt a bit ashamed, he had come to stay with his daughter but ended up catching a wind chill himself, if Master Gu and Madam Gu came to see him later, he would have no place to put his old face.
“We’ll have to wait a bit.”
Xu poured him a cup of warm water, “The sweat hasn’t completely fallen off your body yet, you can’t catch the cold wind.”
If anyone else had said this, Song Lin would have said he was fine, but Xu said so, and he nodded in agreement, “You’re still thoughtful, so let’s sit for a while.”
“There’s still rice warming on the stove, I’ll ask Daya to bring it up for you.”
……
Outside, Qin Qian’s carriage driver drove the carriage all the way forward, and was about to walk in front of Master Chu’s courtyard when Xiao Si, who had come out to get something, stopped, “What for?”
The coachman stopped his horse.
Qin Qian lifted the curtain, recognised Xiao Si and smiled towards the arch, “This little brother, do you remember me? I’m the roommate of the Song Scholar, I just dropped him off, he followed Song’s little sister to her courtyard, I told the coachman to find a spacious place to turn around and wait for him.”
The ground on this side was wide enough for two horses to run parallel at the same time, but the carriage turnaround was indeed a bit narrow.
Xiao Si opened his eyes and said, “There is no road ahead, so you guys back up slowly and turn around over there.”
“Okay.”
Qin Qian ordered the coachman to back up, and only when he saw that their carriage was backed up far away did Xiao Si call out to a boy, “Watch out, if they come this way again you go and tell me.”
The boy answered.
He got off the carriage and slowly skipped back and forth around the carriage, looking at the succession of mansions.
……
The two of them did not come over when they learned that Song Lin had caught a wind chill early in the morning and wanted to come over to see it, but when they learned that Song Lin had taken the medicine and fallen asleep, they never came over.
Now they figured that Song Lin should have woken up, so they sent someone to ask Daya, and when they found out that Song Lin had really woken up, they came towards this courtyard.
Qin Qian saw them from afar and did not pay attention to them at first, but when he turned around he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly turned back to look over again.
He quickly walked towards Song Wangyue’s courtyard, and before he could get a good look at Master Gu and Madam Gu, the two had already walked into Song Wangyue’s courtyard.
Qin Qian lifted his foot and was about to follow them.
If she became suspicious of him, he would never be able to get close to Song Si again.
But if he gave up like that, he was a bit reluctant.
After hovering hesitantly at the door for a while, he made up his mind to go in, and just as he regained his feet, the people were already coming out of the house.
With a start, he turned quickly, almost trotting back to his carriage, and went up sharply, picking at the curtain to look this way.
A boy was driving the Song family’s carriage over, just in time to block his view, and Qin Qian, undeterred, ordered the coachman, “Rush over!”
