Chapter 41 High fever
No one expected that Lu Weimang, who has always been very strong, would get sick, and the illness was violent.

Lu Weimang just felt that it might be a psychological factor and felt a headache that day. After returning to the mansion, he told his family not to worry. She just went back to her room and lay down to rest. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep more and more deeply.

Lu Weimang, who had never been sick, didn't know that he was sick at first, he just felt headache, uncomfortable, and couldn't sleep.

It was because she didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and the uncomfortable noise of tossing and turning on the bed attracted Xiao Xia, who had always been serving her.

Xiaoxia listened to Lu Weimang talking about a headache in a daze, and tried to lift the bed curtain, only to find that her cheeks were red, and when she touched her forehead, it was so hot that it seemed to burn people's skin.

Xiao Xia exclaimed and hurried to call for someone.

The doctor came to the mansion soon, asked for pulse, and said that it was due to wind evil entering the body and stagnation in the heart, that's why he had a fever, but the young lady has always been healthy and has a solid foundation, and a dose of medicine will ensure that she will be alive and kicking the next day.

The doctor made a vow, and everyone in the Lu family breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Yang and Chang Feng were very worried when they saw that Ajie couldn't open her burning eyes and was talking in a daze.

"Sister always says that she is as strong as a cow, and she envies other little ladies who are sick and weak every three days, especially like a girl. This can be regarded as her wish fulfilled."

Cheng Yang originally wanted to imitate Sister A and say something lighter to comfort Chang Feng, but it would be more convincing if his voice could not be nasal.

Changfeng's eyes were red, but he was not as crying and yelling as he used to be by my sister's side. At this time, I suppressed my emotions, "We used to be three siblings, and we always lived in the same room. My sister never got sick, so it's not as good as today." The second brother and I will rest at Elder Sister's place, and when Elder Sister wakes up and sees us, maybe she will recover from her illness."

The two little ones were talking on the side of Lu Weimang's bed, and Lu Qingshan lifted them up one by one, "Okay, your sister is just sweating and blowing the wind, and didn't change clothes in time, that's why the wind and evil entered the body. Didn't the doctor say that?" Well, take a dose of medicine and you'll be fine tomorrow. Go back and rest honestly, if Wei Mang wakes up tomorrow and sees one or two of you with dark circles on your face, you should be angry."

After comforting the two sons, Lu Qingshan came to Lu Weimang's bed lightly.

"Master, you have to go to the yamen tomorrow. Go to the soft couch over there for a while, the old slave is here to take care of the young lady."

Housekeeper Lu has been busy for a long time. He asked the doctor, arranged for someone to grab the medicine, and ordered someone to make the medicine. Now when he saw the master came back, he persuaded the master to go to rest.

"Don't argue with me. On weekdays, Weimang sees you closer than me, and takes you everywhere. Now I have to behave well and compete with you for this credit. As for Shangya, tomorrow Let's talk about the situation."

The two old gentlemen were standing in front of Lu Weimang's bed, each of them found a embroidered pier to guard, and whispered.

"My father, isn't he being too rough? No matter how capable Wei Mang is, she is still a little girl, different from us rough men."

Steward Lu waved his hands and lowered his voice, "You don't have to think too much, master. It's not good if you overcorrect. Before entering the mansion, Miss Weimang didn't talk much all the way. I know she's feeling uneasy, after all, she hasn't been with you before. Later, when you handed over the livelihood of the mansion to Miss Wei Mang, she seemed to be freed from the shackles, and became more and more comfortable in the mansion day by day."

Steward Lu looked at Lu Weimang's flushed face, and he seemed to feel distressed and proud in his words, "I heard that you loved Miss Weimang the most when she was young. Temperament, grandeur and a bit domineering. Later, you were recruited, and you went there for five years. To be honest, I went to your hometown to inquire. The ex-wife is not an idea. The family is big and small, it should be Miss Weimang If she is in her early years, the family will not be bullied. But after all, she is small and weak, and adults are sometimes unreasonable, so she has no choice but to get angry. That's why she has a self-reliant and negative character."

The old butler sighed, "I've lived to such a great age, and I've met a lot of people. There are thousands of people, some are bright and cheerful, some are smart, and some are weak on the surface. No matter what their temperament is, as long as they have a clear heart , people who are more selfish always have an easier life than others. Miss Weimang is just like you, she is a kind person with a bright eye and a bright heart, but sometimes her mouth is clumsy and she can't speak. It's like a glass of water that can't melt a drop Oil. The extreme temperament of the young lady seems careless, and I always worry that Huiji will be hurt, so I might as well be confused."

If Lu Weimang heard what Steward Lu said, he would probably jump up in surprise.

She often feels that she is too extreme and contradictory, so it is her motto to be confused.But if it could be done, it would not be a motto.

"Are you saying that Wei Mang has a lot of things in her heart?"

Lu Qingshan frowned and asked the housekeeper.

The butler sighed.It would be great if the lady's sensitivity and thoughtfulness could be neutralized with the master's carelessness.

"Could it be too light, let her go back to the Fuzhong school grounds to ride horses and archery, and practice martial arts in addition to her homework at the Imperial College. In short, she is so tired that she has no time to think about it, and no time to ask for troubles, is it true? How is it better? When I first entered the army, I was sad every day. Later, when I joined His Majesty's command, I practiced hard and didn't think about anything, but my life became easier."

Some people are born with thick lines and tendons, but the housekeeper gave up talking with his master, and he didn't know how the master's rough rock-like foundation could grow such thin bamboo shoots as the young lady.

"Miss seems to be getting better. Go and lie down for a while. You can replace me in the middle of the night."

Butler Lu drove away his general.

"Then I'll sleep for an hour, and then I'll replace you."

Some people are born short of that sensual string, and there is no way around it.Heartless people live the happiest life, probably because stupid people have stupid blessings.

Seeing his master falling asleep in a second, Steward Lu thought angrily.

An hour later, Lu Qingshan woke up on time, as if he was in the military camp before.

"Okay, it's my turn, you go to sleep for a while."

"Well, the lady seems to have a fever. You can see that her lips are dry. Give her some water."

When the old housekeeper fell asleep, Lu Qingshan sighed, and stroked his daughter's hot forehead with his big hand. "In the village before, I always felt that the general riding a horse was majestic, and I always hoped that one day I could be a general and protect my family from wind and rain. After I escaped from death and made some achievements, I realized that farmers have their own characteristics. Suffering, the general has the suffering of a general. As majestic as a general, and the general’s sister, each has its own suffering. In a blink of an eye, you have all grown up, and the suffering is over. Dad has not read a few books. There is no big skill that I can't teach you. I only hope that you will grow up with your own skills so that you can live with confidence in the future. Life is not easy, you need to grow up with your own skills, and no one can replace others."

In the middle of the night, the watery moonlight shines into the house through the screen window. A big man sits aggrieved on the embroidered pier, talking softly with his daughter like an old friend, with his hand on the girl's red On his forehead, it seemed that he wanted to share some of the burning heat for her.

Lu Weimang was originally suffering from headaches and shaking his head, but because of the comfort of this big dry hand, it seemed that the floating boat on the sea had a pinnacle of stability, gradually calming down.

She was suffering from a fever, unable to wake up and fall asleep, she felt a little lucid in a daze, listening to the soft whispers in her ear, feeling the comfort on her forehead, although she still had a headache, it was inexplicably less uncomfortable.

Since Lu Weimang was a child, because there were many siblings in his family, he didn't get much love.She is in good health. When she was a child, she was sick and uncomfortable a few times. Her parents always made her drink some hot water and lie down for a while.

They were too busy to spend time with her.

But she always remembers that when she was five or six years old, before she went to school, there was a time when children had an epidemic of rashes, and she was unfortunately caught.For a whole week, she had a high fever, and a child who was usually like a calf could not stand upright on rare occasions, and her angry voice was so weak that people could not hear it.

That week, her father bought her snacks that she didn't have on weekdays for her to eat.Mother even hugged her in her arms when she was crying softly in the middle of the night.

It's so warm, this hug.

Later, when she recovered from her illness, she regained her strength like a calf.Every time she goes to school and sees other students taking sick leave, she can't help yearning for it.I don't know if I yearn for not having to go to school, or I miss the short-lived warmth when I was a child.

After growing up without illness and disaster, the longing for this warm embrace was pressed deepest in her heart.She didn't get it for too long, she felt that she had forgotten it, and she even firmly wanted to live a life alone, and never expected such warmth again.

How could she know that this fever was only caused by the warm and dry feeling of the hand covering her forehead, as if it made her feel the warm feeling when she was five or six years old in her previous life again.

It turned out that her desire for family affection and love has never disappeared.

"If you're sick, take injections and take medicine, why tell me?"

She seems to have said this to someone else.

It turned out she was wrong.When you are sick and uncomfortable, not only medicine is useful, but care and love are also useful.

At this moment, her head didn't seem to be uncomfortable anymore.

At dawn, the doctor came for a follow-up visit, the pulse was smooth and strong, and the body was already well.

"But my daughter is still lethargic."

Lu Qingshan was a little worried.

"Illnesses come and go like a mountain, and go away like silk. This is a normal phenomenon."

What the doctor said was categorical, but just after sending the doctor away, Lu Weimang started to burn again.

The housekeeper quickly brought the doctor back.

If it wasn't for a well-known doctor in the capital, Lu Qingshan would have liked to hit him twice right now.

Under the stares of the Lu family, the doctor felt the pulse for a long time this time, "It's strange, the pulse is so strong, how can people still have a high fever?"

Lu Qingshan and Chengyang Changfeng stared at the doctor, waiting for him to speak, but he just shook his head. "It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

The doctor shook his head and went out, only asking everyone in the Lu family to change her handkerchief and pay attention to cooling down, but he couldn't do anything else.

The Lu family hurriedly searched for other doctors.

After another day of fever, the fever seemed to subside a little at night.But with yesterday's lessons learned, Steward Lu asked for leave in advance for his lady and master. After all, the Hero Festival was over, and they went to study in Yamen.

When Qin Xuan heard that Lu Weimang was sick, he was in a hurry all day. After school, he hurried back to the mansion. He took his mother's old ginseng and ran to Lu's mansion.

The quiet Qinhou Mansion was disturbed by Qin Xuan's movement.

It's fine if it's a normal day, but today there are guests from Qinhou's mansion.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Are there any rules?"

Qin Hou looked at Huo Jing beside him, and then at his son, shaking his head endlessly.

When returning to Beijing this time, Huo Jing also has a mission, and there are changes on the border. He came to Qinhou's mansion this time, and he also wanted to ask Qinhou about the imperial court's next border military plan.

After all, the soldiers and horses have not been moved, and the food and grass go first. Qin Hou is in charge of half of the court's money and food. He still has to discuss and cooperate with Qin Hou for some plans.

Just as he was talking, he saw Qin Xuan hurried out with a wooden box in his arms.

"Ms. Lu is sick. I heard that she has been burned for two days after returning from Jingshan. I'll go visit her."

Only then did Qin Hou's expression soften, "Well, go ahead, you go to visit, if Miss Lu still doesn't get better, come back and get the name sticker from the mansion to invite the imperial physician."

"Well, thank you father."

Qin Xuan nodded vigorously, clasped his fists to salute Huo Jing, and then hurried away again.

Huo Jing heard Lu Weimang's news, and after he came out from Qinhou's residence, he asked Ding Yi to invite the imperial physician to visit Lu's residence.

"how?"

Ding Yi brought Huo Jing in front of the imperial physician who went to Lu's mansion for diagnosis and treatment.

"When I went to the humble job, Miss Lu was fine after drinking the medicine. But judging from the pulse, Miss Lu seems to be a little depressed at a young age, so she can't afford to be lingering. But after all, she is young and has a good foundation. Rest One day will be fine.”

After sending the imperial doctor away, Ding Yi and Lin Chen were a little conflicted.

"What's wrong with you, you have a bitter face?"

Huo Jing couldn't stand the bitter faces of the two subordinates who hesitated to speak, so he simply asked.

"My lord, did Miss Lu fall ill because she was angry with you that day? After all, she rode away so angry that day and fell ill when she returned. Shall we go and see?"

Lin Chen said hesitantly.

Huo Jing was silent for a moment when he heard the words, "I'll forget it, you can go if you want." After speaking, he looked down at the map of the northern border on the table.

Lin Chen and Ding Yi had no choice but to leave the study room, and the two of them came to the porch. The weather is hot now, but it's not yet time to use icebergs. The inside of the house is not as cool as the outside, but the figure sitting in front of the desk inside the house doesn't seem to feel it. , immersed in their own affairs.

Ding Yi said to Lin Chen next to him, "It's fine if you don't go, but now the queen is always staring at our son and wants you to get engaged before going to the northern border. If you go to Lu's mansion, you are asking for trouble."

After hearing this, Lin Chen muttered in a low voice, "Wouldn't it be nice to go there?"

Was patted by Ding Yi next to him, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Why are you shooting me?"

Lin Chen shook his arms in disapproval. Seeing Lin Chen staring again, Ding Yi had no choice but to say, "Master, you are all focused on the war in northern Xinjiang right now, and you don't care about him at all. Don't keep making noises around you, talk to some gossip women. Normal."

Seeing that Lin Chen still refused to accept it, Ding Yi had no choice but to hold back his temper, "Young master will set off for the northern border in a few days. There are many famous generals in the court. This is just the beginning of a new dynasty. They are busy competing for fame and wealth in the capital, so we can let you go." Young master, this young man got an opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, when they get a firm foothold, how can you have a chance to make contributions? After a long time, everyone in the army will forget my glory of the Huo family. If you want to pick it up again, it will be difficult. gone."

Only then did Lin Chen stop talking, and went to see the young master sitting under the west window of the study.

The young master grew up with the princes in the palace, but once the old general Huo died, the foundation of the young master's life and the backing of the empress disappeared.

In order to regain the Huo family's position in the army, and to make the empress feel reliable again, his son had to seize every opportunity.

They all said that their son was born to be the favored son of heaven, but those who followed him knew how heavy the burden was on him.
