Ping An Biography

The Cabinet Office is the former Senate Office, and almost nothing has changed. The cherry tree in the yard outside the inner study has not bloomed, and has grown lush green.Yang Shiqi came to ask the King of Xiang two days in a row, but was told that he was not in good health and occasionally felt cold and did not come for several days.

Yu Qian "claimed to be sick" and recovered, but the king of Xiang said he was sick again; but the king of Xiang's claim of illness may be true, and he didn't need to hide from anyone, let alone slow down his work.The king of Xiang has always given officials the impression that he is not diligent, but "you can always see him in the yamen, and it is easy to find anything."

But these two days are exceptions.Yang Shiqi had prepared very well. He first added Yu Qian's name to the list and submitted it, and then asked Yu Qian to show up in various cabinet departments with him... Unfortunately, after some actions, there was no reaction at all. Zhang Ning almost The sky is gone.Yu Qian, who made his comeback, was in a bit of an embarrassing situation.

... Zhang Ning was really sick. He always felt that his physical fitness was good and young, but he couldn't resist the overwhelming illness.I don't know how I caught a cold. At first, I had mild symptoms such as nasal congestion and dizziness. Then I drank a bowl of ginger soup and slept, but it became more serious. My body temperature rose and I felt hot and cold, and I had severe headaches. I was lying on the bed. can't get up.

It's not that I can't really get up. I can move after getting up to go to the toilet and so on, and my mind is clear, but the feeling is very uncomfortable.His body was hot, dizzy and flustered, he had no strength, and was very weak; he could not sleep well when he was lying down.There are doctors who come to check the pulse, old men and women, and then they are persuaded to drink Chinese medicine, and their mouths are full of bitterness. [

In a trance, a sense of vulnerability enveloped Zhang Ning's heart.A person can be so vulnerable, and this feeling can only be experienced when he is sick.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of people to take care of him in the Chu Palace.Both Yao Ji and Zhou Zhou Niang came to visit several times one after another, and they were worried and invited several doctors to take the pulse.The doctor's diagnoses are exactly the same, they are all in one word: occasional cold, it is a serious problem for a strong young man; the solution is to drink medicine for recuperation and self-healing, as long as someone takes care of it, it will usually be cured within seven days.

So everyone gradually felt relieved. According to life experience, even if it wasn't a doctor, Zhang Ning could tell that Zhang Ning had a cold (cold).This kind of ailment is commonplace, and everyone will get it. In many cases, people don't need to spend money on medicines, and they can take care of themselves.

On Tuesday, Niang ordered the servant girl to take care of him in turn, and like Yao Ji and others, she didn't care too much, and just waited for him to recover for a few days.Zhang Ning had no energy and strength, and he would lie on the bed to sleep during the day, so naturally no one would sit beside him all day long... Except Zhang Xiaomei, who always had nothing to do, so she kept going in and out of the room to do trivial things.

At night, she didn't want to leave. The upright maid in the room persuaded her not to listen, so she slept with her in the side room outside the Nuan Pavilion.Later, Zhang Xiaomei's valet, Xiaohe, also brought a blanket, so she had no choice but to let her.When Zhang Xiaomei was sleepy, she put a blanket on the edge of the bed and slept on her stomach, and didn't leave anyway.

Zhang Ning slept all day, and woke up in the middle of the night. He opened his eyes and felt that the light was dim. He looked at the house and knew that it was not dawn yet, and suddenly saw a person lying beside him.Although he only saw the hair, he already guessed that it was Zhang Xiaomei, besides, no one would do such a thing except her.He subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch her soft and beautiful black hair. Unexpectedly, the little girl woke up from a light sleep.

She raised her head, and a white and pure face appeared in front of Zhang Ning. There were a few strands of messy hair on her full forehead, and she looked sleepy. She rubbed her eyes with her hand, but this appearance was very cute.

Zhang Ning's throat was a little dry, and his voice was hoarse: "Why is my little girl lying down here to sleep again?"

She didn't answer, and touched Zhang Ning's forehead with the back of her hand, then tried it on her own forehead, and said, "It's still a little hot."

Normally, Zhang Ning wouldn't care too much about such a small concern, but at this time, he felt a sense of relief.But he blurted out: "The wind and cold are contagious, you will get sick after staying with me for a long time, it's enough for you."

Zhang Xiaomei said seriously: "I used to be sick when I was at home in Nanjing. It was not a serious illness, but everyone had work to do and no time to take care of me, so I felt very uncomfortable and wanted to cry. Now it is the same, and I often feel uncomfortable for a few days and have a stomachache. , although there is a maid to take care of me, but no one cares about waking up in pain at night. At that time, I often think that if my brother is by my side, he can hold me with his big warm hands, and then treat me with a good temper and gentleness Talking... Seeing that my brother is sick these days, I feel that you will also want me to love you by my side when no one cares about you."

When Zhang Ning heard this, his psychological defense line was easily broken by the little girl without paying attention. He couldn't tell what it was like, but it was very real.He couldn't help stretching out his hand, groped for her little hand, and held it tightly: "It's all my fault for being careless."

The little girl showed a sweet smile and shook her head vigorously: "It's okay, my brother has important things to do. But I won't be careless, and I won't let my brother be as sad as when I was sick."

A person's heart must be closely related to his physical condition, and a weak body will cause a fragile heart.Zhang Ning seemed to have suddenly let go of his ambitions, desires, and responsibilities at this time, and felt a little sore in his heart, but it seemed that there was a warm current flowing quietly... His head was still dizzy and painful, but he seemed to feel less uncomfortable all of a sudden; There seemed to be some taste in the bitter and light mouth.

He moved and said: "Fortunately, I didn't marry you off. It seems that every time I see you, I will be more reluctant to part with you..."

He thought of the power and wealth he possessed, and he was able to peek at those famous ladies and the "female history" sought after by rich men.But at this moment, I feel that all the beauties and charms in the world are worthless in front of an ordinary little girl.

The little girl lowered her head shyly, and said quietly: "I know it's wrong to think this way, but I can't help but think that my brother is better when he is sick, and I don't care about other things. Let me take care of you and talk to you with peace of mind. .”

At this moment, the servant girl in the side room was awakened by the voice, and opened the curtain with a "crash", and saw that Zhang Ning was talking to the little sister Zhang beside the bed with her eyes open, and asked cautiously, "My lord is awake, are you thirsty?" , would you like to pour you a cup of sweet syrup?"

Zhang Ning subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand to avoid this kind of overly intimate behavior from appearing in front of others, but with a slight movement of his hand, he felt stubborn again, so he simply continued to hold it, and ordered: "Little sister is here to take care of her. You don’t have to ask when it’s time.” [

The servant girl heard it in a bad tone, and hurriedly knelt and replied: "Yes, I understand."
