Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 8 Daddy's Injured
Zhao Jinyi stuck his head out from the window and asked the second servant: "What happened?"

Mei Ran and Ya Qing glanced at each other, then shook their heads: "The servants don't know."

Ya Qing said: "However, this servant heard the sound of a house collapsing." She heard the sound of bricks and stones falling to the ground.

Zhao Jinyi frowned.

There was a lot of spring rain in the past few days, and the houses in the low-lying Kanghuifang were in disrepair for a long time, and they were soaked in the spring rain for several nights.The Holy One was furious because of this, and ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to settle the injured immediately and repair the house.Father Zhao Chengde hasn't come home these few days because he is busy with this matter.

But here they are in Kanglefang, and even though they live in small officials, every house is repaired every year, so it won't collapse after a few days of spring rain.

Alas, I hope I didn't hit the talent.

If not, Dad might be busy for a few more days.

Zhao Jinyi retracted his head and thought about it quietly for a while, but he still couldn't suppress his worries about his father.She walked out of the room and called Mei Ran: "You tell Changchun, where is the third master? If the third master is fine, come back and report."

Mei Ran was taken aback, and looked at the sky outside: "Fourth Miss, I'm afraid the keys to the two gates have been locked, and the servants may not be able to get out."

The servants of the Zhao family were never allowed to enter the second sect.

Zhao Jinyi was a little annoyed: "The loud noise just now didn't sound far away, and I don't care if there is a collapse nearby. The eldest lady must send someone to check. You just follow them and find Changchun, and tell him the matter." okay."

Going outside to check, of course, you can't use maids and women, but servants and stewards who specialize in running errands.

But the one who ordered the servants to run errands was always Yao's mother, who was by the eldest wife's side.

Seeing that Zhao Jinyi was a little different tonight, Mei Ran was agitated and didn't dare to say anything, so she hurried out of the courtyard.

Ya Qing closed the courtyard door, not daring to take a breath.

Zhao Jinyi also realized that he had lost his composure, so he lifted the curtain and went in to sit on the beauty's couch, and it took him a long time to calm down.

After he calmed down, he felt that his whole body was sticky. It turned out that he had just sweated a lot.

She called Yaqing again: "Ask Mama Zhang to bring hot water."

Crow Qing agreed.

Zhao Jinyi didn't wonder why he was so anxious, it was not like the calm and self-sufficient self in the past.

She spread out a copybook, brushed the ink and practiced calligraphy.

After practicing a word in this way, I felt that my mind gradually cleared up.

Yaqing opened the curtain: "Miss Si, the hot water is here." Yaqing's face was still a little apprehensive.Yaqing is no better than Meiran, it was bought from outside when she was eight years old, she has always been reserved, and she doesn't dare to tease her on weekdays.But Mei Ran grew up with her since she was a child, and her temperament is more lively.

Zhao Jinyi smiled and said, "Okay."

The rough envoy poured hot water into the bathtub and said goodbye respectfully.

Meiran hasn't come back yet, presumably it's because things haven't been settled yet.

If you employ someone, you have to trust her completely.

When Zhao Jinyi wanted to change his shoes, he realized that he hadn't changed his shoes when he came back from the outside.The feet are still hard-soled embroidered shoes.She told Yaqing: "Bring the soft-soled shoes."

Ya Qing fetched the soft-soled shoes, waited for Zhao Jinyi to change them, and then helped her to take a bath.

Suddenly there were hurried footsteps outside.

Zhao Jinyi turned his head and looked towards the door, and saw Mei Ran holding a lantern panting, her hair was messed up, and her face was pale: "Miss Si, it's not good, the third master's leg was injured."

Zhao Jinyi didn't speak, and walked away.

Ya Qing was about to ask Zhao Jinyi to change his shoes, but saw Zhao Jinyi walking so fast that he almost fell when he crossed the threshold.

"Cloak, cloak!" Mei Ran ordered Ya Qing while following Zhao Jinyi.

The spring night is cold, and the girl will catch cold without a cloak.

Ya Qing had no choice but to turn back and take the cloak again, feel the darkness, and follow the two at the Chuihua Gate.

"Girl, cloak!" Ya Qing shouted.

Zhao Jinyi kept walking: "I'm not cold."

While saying this, he stepped through the hanging flower gate.

The road was quiet, maybe the eldest aunt and aunt hadn't gotten the news yet.

Where is the third uncle?Has the third uncle rushed over?Zhao Jinyi's mind was in a mess.

Dad just hurt his foot, so he should be fine.

Zhao Jinyi thought wildly and arrived at the second gate.

The gate of the second gate was open, and the woman guarding the second gate ran away somewhere.

Instead, I could hear the chaos in the front yard, and there seemed to be many people talking.

Zhao Jinyi heard Guanshi Hu yelling: "Hurry up and tell the second wife to come back! The doctor, why hasn't he arrived yet!"

Manager Hu always had a smile on his face, and he had the most easy-going temper. For him to yell like this without restraint, Father's injury must be serious.

She walked faster and faster.

Mei Ran and Ya Qing didn't dare to speak at all, they just followed behind Zhao Jinyi panting.Mei Ran thought in her heart, the fourth girl doesn't like to walk normally, so why did she suddenly start walking faster than her.

In a blink of an eye, he entered the front yard.

The front yard was brightly lit, and many people crowded in front of the flower hall.

Zhao Jinyi walked over calmly, but found that he couldn't.The Zhao family has never had any major events, and the major event in these years is Zhao Jinxiu's marriage two years ago.The third master was injured in his foot, presumably all the servants came to join in the fun.

It was Meiran who stepped forward and shouted, "The fourth girl is here!"

The four girls are here!When the crowd heard this, they hurriedly gave way to a wide avenue.

In fact, there is another door in front of the human wall, Zhao Chengde and Hu Butler are both in the door.Even if the master is injured, he can't let the servants gather around to watch.

The fourth girl came, and the flower hall, which was noisy with people just now, quieted down.Although the fourth girl is a woman, she has always been loved by the third master and the old master on weekdays.Therefore, at this time, the servants who rarely saw the fourth girl looked at Zhao Jinyi curiously.

Zhao Jinyi raised his head and glanced expressionlessly at those bold servants.

Those people quickly lowered their heads.

Housekeeper Hu stuck his head out from the door, with a look of comfort on his face: "Miss Si is here." It's not in vain that the third master loves Miss Si on weekdays.Look at Mr. Erlang, he obviously lives in the front yard, but he hasn't come here yet.

Zhao Jinyi nodded slightly, crossed the threshold, and entered the flower hall.

Originally thought that what he saw when he entered the door was the unconscious father, but he didn't expect that when he entered the door, he saw his father's somewhat embarrassed face.Dad was half lying down, with a beard and a bad complexion, one leg was resting on the bed, and there seemed to be some blood on the calf.

But, it looks fine.

Zhao Jinyi was stunned, and then walked over after a short pause: "Is it important, Dad?"

Zhao Chengde wanted to struggle to get up, but was held down by the person next to him.The man said in a deep voice: "Zhao Fenglang, you can't move yet."

Only then did Zhao Jinyi notice that there was a person standing beside Father.

She looked up, but saw that the man was tall and tall, wearing short brown clothes, and his complexion was a bit dark.

Is this the craftsman who helped bring Dad back?
