Song Yi

Chapter 618 Fighting Qi
Forecourt hall.

Du San obviously lost a lot of weight, and his complexion was not good. He sat on the chair with a tired look on his face.

When Yang Quan saw Du Wenhao approaching, he quickly poked Du San, and got up to meet him quickly.

"My little one, please greet Mr. Du." Yang Quan bowed and said respectfully.

Du Wenhao nodded, then walked in front of Du San, the corners of Du San's mouth twitched violently a few times, he wanted to laugh but didn't.

Because Yang Quan was watching, Du Wenhao said, "Uncle is suffering."

With tears in his eyes, Du San held Du Wenhao's hand tightly, and said with a choked voice after a while: "It's hard for you to still miss me and still look for me. If it wasn't for...my nephew, I'm afraid that I..."

Du Wenhao patted Du San's hand lightly, telling him to sit down and talk.

Yang Quan: "Master Du, the little one has gone back. The master ordered that the recovery of the old man's body is almost entirely due to the credit of you and your disciples and grandchildren. I came to thank you when I was free. The shopkeeper Du sent it back to you. The little one also I won't stay any longer, you two, uncle and nephew, catch up on the old days."

After Du Wenhao thanked him, he asked his servants to send Yang Quan away, and he talked with Du San himself.

"Shopkeeper Du, I made you suffer!" Du Wenhao said with emotion.

Du San shook his head: "Wen Hao, I'll just call you that, I also know some of what happened from Zhuzi, if you hadn't saved that Yang Qianhu, I'm afraid... I didn't expect you to save me Please accept Du Sanyi's obeisance here!" He stood up and knelt on the ground.

Du Wenhao quickly helped him up, and Du San whimpered.

"Shopkeeper Du, in fact, Yang Rui didn't intend to harm anyone at all, but... Forget it, since you have returned safely, you can just open the inn for business, and don't think about anything else."

Du San shook his head: "No, I'm here this time just to say goodbye to my nephew."

Du Wenhao was stunned: "Why?"

Du San let out a long sigh: "It's better that you don't know some things. You are a good person, and you will be rewarded naturally. I went to Yang Qianhu and told you that you are Du San's only relative. I hope I can leave the inn to you. The pharmacy, he also agreed, I have to go, but I can't go with the pillar, he is still taking the medicine you prescribed for him, and the child is weak, so I come this time, just to beg you, can you Take Zhuzhu, you can make anything in your house, as long as he has a bite to eat."

"Treasurer Du, but how can you make people feel at ease if you are a family leader?"

"Don't try to persuade me, but you must not tell others about my departure, and you must keep it secret for me."

Du Wenhao looked at Du San's gray hair and was really reluctant to part with him. He suddenly thought that there was still a house in Ke Yaochuan that no one lived in, so he might as well let him live in it, so that he would have a place to live. The house is not always empty.

"Well, you stay with me temporarily. I think your health is not very good. If you want to leave, you are not in a hurry. Besides, if you are in such a hurry to leave, others may say that you may not be prepared, so live in Here I will ask Miaoshou to prescribe a prescription for you to recuperate for a few days, and it will not be too late to leave when you are better."

"But living with you..." Du San seemed a little embarrassed.

"Okay, it's safe to live with me, and you are my uncle, where do you live if you don't live with my nephew?"

Du San nodded gratefully to Du Wenhao.

After Du San was settled, Du Wenhao looked anxious when he saw Lin Qingdai coming from afar.

"Wen Hao, it's bad!" Lin Qingdai was about to burst into tears.

Du Wenhao rarely saw Lin Qingdai in such a hurry, so he asked, "Don't worry, talk about things slowly!"

"Little cutie is sick."

Since Ke Yao called it this way last time, everyone has called it this way. Anyway, there is no official name yet, and Pang Yuqin also thinks this name is easy to pronounce.

When Du Wenhao heard that his son was ill, he became anxious, and while walking towards Pang Yuqin's yard, he asked, "What's going on?"

"Just now Cuilian came to look for the second lady with the child in her arms, saying that the child had a severe fever, but she didn't dare to disturb the eldest lady."

Du Wenhao's face darkened: "Have you seen it?"

"Look, her little face is flushed red, and her poop is so watery. When she woke up in the morning, she said she didn't want to breastfeed anymore."

"Don't let Qin'er know, she is still very weak now."

"I know, Cuilian has been taken to my place."

Lin Qingdai's yard is next door to Pang Yuqin's yard, just past an arch.

Before Du Wenhao walked into the room, he heard the cry of the child. It felt like he had been crying for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Walking into the room, Cuilian was holding the child, her eyes were crying like peaches.

Du Wenhao took the child carefully, asked Lin Qingdai to close the door, and then put the child on the bed and spread it out.

"Master, you can't spread it out, be careful with the child..." Cuilian had only spoken halfway, and when she saw Du Wenhao glaring at her, she quickly shut up.

"When did the child have a fever?"

"I fed him in the middle of the night last night, and everything was fine. I woke up very early in the morning. I thought the young master was crying because he was hungry. Who wanted to feed him, but he didn't. That's when I realized that he was very hot."

Du Wenhao saw that the child's diaper was indeed a little red, and there were some very thin, fishy poop.

"Qingdai, go to the kitchen and get some wine, remember to ask for strong wine."

Lin Qingdai hurried to go.

Du Wenhao checked other parts of his body and found no abnormalities, so he quickly asked the nanny to wrap the baby up and hold him in her arms. The baby was still crying, and Du Wenhao felt distressed when he screamed loudly.

Soon Lin Qingdai came back with some clean cotton.

Du Wenhao dipped the cotton in wine, and then gently rubbed the back of the child's ears.

"Master, the child's skin is tender, I'm worried..." Cuilian still couldn't help but say.

Du Wenhao ignored it, and the child obviously got better after a while.

"Qingdai, go to the kitchen and ask if you can still find purslane?"

"Master, yes, this kind of thing is everywhere." Cuilian said.

"That's good, Qingdai, go and ask them to pull some back, wash it and boil it into water. In this way, put a piece of garlic in it, don't peel it."

"Understood!" Lin Qingdai was about to leave when Cuilian said, "Master, are you going to wipe the young master's body or feed him?"

"Why?" Du Wenhao frowned and said.

Cuilian muttered: "I mean, if you feed him to drink, the young master will definitely not drink this taste. I don't know medical skills, but if you can add a little sugar in it, the young master should be able to drink it."

Lin Qingdai looked at Du Wenhao, only to see Du Wenhao thought for a while: "Okay, Qingdai troubles you to go there yourself."

"Sure, I'll go right away."

Lin Qingdai went out soon.

Du Wenhao saw Cuilian holding the child nervously, standing there with her head down, hesitating.

"How long have you been at Du's house?"

"If you go back to the master, today is exactly ten days."

Du Wenhao looked into the room, and said for a while: "There is a smell in this room, do you smell it?"

Cuilian was terrified, sniffed it seriously, and shook her head.

"Did you wipe your baby with clean water after breastfeeding?"

"Where to wipe?" Cuilian was at a loss.

Du Wenhao was speechless, pointing to her breasts: "The place for breastfeeding."

When Cuilian heard this, her face turned red: "Master, you... what do you mean!"

Seeing that the child had calmed down, Du Wenhao said, "Put the child on the bed to sleep."

After hearing this, Cuilian carefully placed the child on the bed and covered it with a thin blanket.

Du Wenhao: "I see that you are very considerate in taking care of the children, but there is one thing I want to tell you, you should remember... remember to take a bath at least two or three days, this... you are worried that the room is freezing Child, so there are usually two braziers in the room, and I saw that you are wearing thick clothes, so naturally..."

"Master, I understand. I...you mean that the young master's illness is due to me?"

Du Wenhao nodded: "Looking at the child's symptoms, it seems that he has eaten something unclean, but you think he is so young, what else can he eat except your milk? And when I came in, I smelled sour The stench, you must have never cleaned that place every day, so after a long time, it will naturally..."

Cuilian blushed like a pig's liver, Du Wenhao couldn't say anything more, got up to leave, Cuilian knelt down with a plop.

Du Wenhao was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Cuilian cried and said: "Master, please don't drive me away. If Mrs. Yang knows that I made the young master sick, then I will have to die. Besides, there are four children in the family. I beg you to do so." Give me another chance."

Du Wenhao sighed lightly: "I didn't intend to drive you away. I saw you were so nervous just now, child, and I knew it was an unintentional mistake, so get up and be more careful in the future."

"Thank you, master, thank you, master..." Cuilian knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Du Wenhao three times before getting up tremblingly.

"Master, you just asked Grandma Fifth to find purslane. That is a wild vegetable. Could it also be used to treat the young master?"

Du Wenhao smiled: "Well, a small recipe, because the purslane has no taste, the most important thing is that it has no bitter or strange taste, and the child is still young, taking the medicine is too strong and bad, and secondly, he may not be willing to take it. So with your suggestion to put some sugar, there should be no problem."

"Master, it's all my fault. The young master let him... I deserve to die when he was only ten days old." After finishing speaking, Cuilian slapped herself hard on the face.

Du Wenhao: "Okay, don't blame yourself, you don't want to, go take care of the young master, let him sleep at this time, you go and ask the maid to boil some water, and you can wash it too."

Cuilian shyly lowered her head and hummed, and Du Wenhao sighed softly: "After half an hour, wipe the child's body with spirits, don't worry about his skin being tender, even if it is burned, he will still find new meat. Now, this wine is not harmful to children, don't rub it because you can't bear it, otherwise the young master will continue to have a fever, understand?"

"Master, don't worry, I will do as you ordered."

Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, Du Wenhao went forward and touched his forehead, which was still a little hot, and couldn't help feeling sorry for it.

Walking to the front yard, Wang Runxue came over.

"I heard that the child is sick, what's the matter, is it important?" Wang Runxue asked anxiously.

Du Wenhao briefly told Wang Runxue what happened.

Wang Runxue complained: "Before, we should look for it by ourselves. The rural people just don't pay attention to it. It's been ten days, but... let's change it. I'll look for it right away."

"Wait a minute, forget it, Cuilian knelt down and punished herself, besides, it was an unintentional mistake, we will know later."

Wang Runxue: "But... the little cutie is only ten days old, how does she take care of her, it's too much!"

Seeing that Wang Runxue's face turned red with anger, Du Wenhao was actually very angry himself, but at this moment he had no choice but to comfort him: "Okay, I won't tell Qin'er for now, if you ask, just say that I took it to the temple to offer incense. "

Wang Runxue sighed lightly: "Where is the ten-day-old child going to offer incense, what if Qin'er doesn't believe it?"

"Let me tell you, just say that if the child cries at night, it will be fine if you put incense on it, and the child's fever will probably subside before the end of the day, and then you can take it to her to see."

"That's the only way, then you can go and tell her. At this time, Cuilian usually takes the child to show her."

Seeing that Wang Runxue was carrying a basket of things, Du Wenhao asked, "What is this?"

Wang Runxue: "Yang Quan came here before and said that their master brought Ke Yao a mille-feuille pastry from Suweizhai in Xiushan County, and I was about to take it."

"It's fine if you let Ruoyu or someone else send it there, why go by yourself?"

Wang Runxue smiled bitterly and said: "You said our girl Ke Yao's temper, that girl's servant dared to take this basket over there, isn't that just looking for scolding?"

Du Wenhao smiled: "Oh, I think that Yang Rui is a little afraid of Ke Yao. If he really marries him, I'm afraid he will suffer disaster."

"Who do you think will suffer?"

When Du Wenhao heard someone talking behind him, he knew it was Ke Yao without turning his head.

Ke Yao stepped forward and said, "Who are you two speaking ill of here?"

Wang Runxue covered her mouth and snickered, Du Wenhao hurriedly said, "It's not you anyway."

Ke Yao snorted: "By the way, is cutie feeling better? I went there just now and heard Yingzi say that the child was asleep, and Cuilian was taking a bath with the door closed in broad daylight. It's really interesting."

Wang Runxue was worried about Ke Yao's small mouth, and accidentally let Pang Yuqin know that Cuilian must be driven away, so she said: "Okay, the child is fine, but you must not tell Qin'er, She can't bear a little bit of anger during confinement."

Ke Yao: "I know." As he spoke, he found the basket in Wang Runxue's hand.

"What is this? It smells good."

Wang Runxue simply put it in Ke Yao's hand, and smiled: "Here's for you, Suweizhai's mille-feuille pastry, do you like it?"

Ke Yao lifted the cloth on the basket and took a look: "You bought it for me?"

Wang Runxue was at a loss for words.

Du Wenhao: "You don't care who bought it, as long as you think it's delicious."

Ke Yao looked at Du Wenhao, then at Wang Runxue, and felt that the expressions of the two were weird, so he sneered and said, "It's not so kind, my sister-in-law is confinement, and when everything at home is busy, do you remember to go to Suweizhai to buy me something?" Mille-feuille, right? Tell me quickly, or I will lose my face!"

Du Wenhao: "It's meaningless for you girl, Xue'er brought it up to you so far, and you're asking for a crime."

Ke Yao snorted twice: "So, it wasn't you who bought it, it was someone else!"

Du Wenhao: "Forget it, you asked the question knowingly, besides us, there is naturally another person who cares about you very much in Xiushan County."

"No need!" Ke Yao didn't want to hear Du Wenhao's high-pitched tone, so he threw the basket in his hand far away, gave Du Wenhao a look, turned and left.

"Ke Yao, don't leave in a hurry, I still have something to do with you." Du Wenhao said hastily, thinking about discussing with her about letting Du San's family live in the Chuanzhong House.

"Don't listen, who do you like to discuss with whom you want to discuss with!" Ke Yao left behind a sentence and disappeared behind the rockery.

"Oh, look at this fiery temper. It's okay if you don't eat it for everyone. I heard that the mille-feuille pastry of Suweizhai is not easy to buy, this unlucky boy!" said.

"Forget it, she's like this, if she's right, let's go and let her get angry alone." Du Wenhao comforted.

"I think that Yang Rui seems to be sincere to us Ke Yao, why don't I try to persuade her?"

Du Wenhao hurriedly said: "No, please don't, who knows what this girl is thinking, let's not mess with her, although she is not as good as you, but messing around with you will also bother you."

Wang Runxue smiled: "Okay, just listen to my husband."

Du Wenhao told Wang Runxue that Du San was going to transfer the inn to him, but he didn't say that he was going to leave.

"Yang Qianhu also meant the same thing before, but didn't Yang Rui have additional conditions?"

Du Wenhao: "It's gone now, I took care of Yang Qianhu's body, Yang Rui also sent Du San back, and Yang Qianhu also nodded in agreement, I thought, since we've settled down , Qin'er also gave birth to a cute baby, so the inn can't just close the door like that, we still open our Wuweitang, or the wife who doesn't charge money is clamoring every day that there is no money to spend, and the money is not collected and go to the town For other pharmacies, if you let your colleagues know about it, wouldn’t you be laughing your ass off?”

"Okay, Xianggong said so, then I will discuss it with Qingdai."

"Well, by the way, seeing Miss Murong feeling depressed recently, are you homesick?" Du Wenhao asked.

"I really didn't pay attention. There are too many things at home recently, and there is not enough staff. I am so busy that I am dizzy. Okay, I will talk to her later and ask her."

"Thanks a lot."

Wang Runxue smiled: "Sir, isn't this what Xue'er should do?"

What Du Wenhao thought of: "By the way, Shopkeeper Du wants Zhuzi to stay with us to help. Didn't you just say you wanted Zhuzi to come to your house as a cook?"

When Wang Runxue heard this, she was naturally happy: "That would be the best. Zhuzi seems to be very honest, and he is also careful in doing things, not lazy. As for the cooking skills, Yingzi can help him, and he will make progress within a year."

Du Wenhao: "Thank you for everything. Probably Wuweitang will open, and Qingdai will be busy there. You should worry about it at home."

Wang Runxue: "Aren't there still Fei'er and Lian'er? I think Lian'er has been able to help me recently, unlike the ones in the capital who are afraid of everything."

Du Wenhao sighed softly: "Perhaps leaving there is a real relief for Lian'er, after all, she grew up in the palace, and although that beauty Chen was good to her in the past, she is still a slave after all, and she always There are shadows."

While the two were talking, they walked back to Ke Yao's door before they knew it. Wang Runxue smiled and said, "If Ke Yao sees him, he thinks we're following. Anything to say?"

Du Wenhao knew that Du San was going to leave sooner or later, and it was better to discuss this matter with Ke Yao earlier, so he separated from Wang Runxue and walked into Ke Yao's yard by himself.

I saw Licorice, Ke Yao's personal maid, with her back to the door, hiding in a bush and crying softly.

When Du Wenhao came to the front, Licorice saw it, and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and bowed to salute.

The name Licorice was given to her by Ke Yao. Since Ke Yao came to Du's house, this girl has been following Ke Yao, and she is also very loyal and caring to Ke Yao. She is one year older than Ke Yao, so she doesn't talk much. the maid.

"Licorice, what's the matter with you?"

"No... nothing master, it's just that a gust of wind blows over and puts sand in Licorice's eyes." Licorice lowered her head and said in a low voice.

Du Wenhao smiled, looked at Ke Yao's room, the door was closed, he must be sulking alone in the room.

"Did Miss bully you again?" Du Wenhao whispered.

Licorice quickly waved her hand: "No, no, Miss is in a bad mood, it's Licorice's fault."

Du Wenhao guessed a few points, comforted Licorice, then went to Ke Yao's door and knocked on the door.

"Don't bother me!" Ke Yao said loudly in the room.

"I have to bother you today."

Ke Yao recognized Du Wenhao's voice, followed by a crisp sound in the room.

Du Wenhao said with a smile at the door: "You bought the cheaper one, don't regret it later, and spend money to buy it again."

The door opened, and Ke Yao appeared in front of Du Wenhao with a teary face. Du Wenhao was stunned when he was still smiling.

"What's the matter, who bullied you and cried like this?" Du Wenhao stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, but Ke Yao shook Du Wenhao's hand away and went back to the room. Wen Hao followed.

Ke Yao stood in front of the window, the ground was in a mess, and Du Wenhao guessed that several antique vases had also suffered misfortune.

"You really want me to marry, don't you?" Ke Yao looked out the window and said calmly.

"What did you say, I asked you to marry me, you don't want to, and now you say such things, it really hurts me." Du Wenhao walked behind Ke Yao, feeling an urge to hug her.

snort!
Ke Yao snorted, and then looked back at Du Wenhao: "Marry you? How? You already have two wives and three concubines. What else do you want?"

Du Wenhao felt that Ke Yao's anger was really unreasonable, and his face darkened: "I didn't marry Pang Yuqin after I met you, did I?"

"But isn't it after Wang Runxue met me?" Ke Yao was a little aggressive.

Du Wenhao simply sat down and said, "Then what do you want me to do? It's already like this, you can tell yourself."

Seeing Du Wenhao pushing the problem to himself, Ke Yao burst into tears.

Du Wenhao sighed softly, walked to Ke Yao's side, supported her trembling shoulders, and comforted her: "Okay, I just said a few days ago that everything is up to you, you can do whatever you want, I will not force you of."

Ke Yao thought for a while, then suddenly said: "I won't marry anyone, not you, not that Yang Rui, not anyone, but..."

"but what……"

On Ke Yao's long eyelashes was a crystal teardrop, looking lovely.

"But I want a child, especially when I see Da Furen's cutie, I also want a child."

Du Wenhao almost fainted, right? What kind of dynasty is this? Is your Ke Yao thinking too far ahead? Let alone this time, even in the 21st century, how difficult it is for an unmarried single mother to support a person , not to mention that you, Ke Yao, are a lady of every family, you actually...

Du Wenhao stood up and touched Ke Yao's forehead, but Ke Yao quickly avoided it.

"Girl, are you confused? Don't be angry, it's my brother's fault. From now on, my brother will never say that kind of stupid thing to make you angry!"

Ke Yao looked at Du Wenhao, as if he wanted to see through Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao made Ke Yao uncomfortable, and said with a sneer, "Okay, don't go crazy, I have something to tell you!"

Ke Yao thought for a while, then suddenly grinned for a while, and said, "Okay, I'm not going crazy, tell me, what can you do to me."

Ke Yao's behavior made Du Wenhao confused. Seeing that the tears on Ke Yao's face sitting opposite him had been wiped dry, and he even showed a slight smile, Du Wenhao shook his head helplessly and said, "You Are you really all right?"

Ke Yao shrugged: "Okay, tell me."

Du Wenhao then told Ke Yao about Du San.

"You must never tell another person about this, you know?" Du Wenhao urged.

Ke Yao had a smirk on his face: "I'll tell Yang Rui to go!"

Du Wenhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, but one sentence irritated you, okay, what do you think?"

Ke Yao: "Whatever you want, you can go if you want. Anyway, the vacant place is for mice to live in. It is sticky and popular. Maybe the Ke family's house will not be turned into ruins in my hands, don't you think so? "

"Then this is the way to do it?"

Ke Yao nodded briskly: "Okay, I think it's pretty good, just make up your mind." After speaking, he got up and walked out the door.

"Where are you going?" Du Wenhao asked.

"Go and see the little cutie, is it better?"

Du Wenhao went out, but Ke Yao was nowhere to be seen: "Oh, I really don't know what Qing Dai is doing to teach Ke Yao Kung Fu. He runs faster than he flies!"

At this time, Licorice came over and said, "Master, Licorice wants to ask you one thing."

"you say!"

"Tell Miss, don't let me marry that Yang Rui, okay?"

"Ah!" Du Wenhao glanced at Licorice in surprise, this Ke Yao, no wonder Licorice has been crying secretly, there is no reason to make such a joke about the maid beside him, Du Wenhao was really speechless by Ke Yao, so he could only nod Promise: "Don't worry, Ke Yao is just talking out of anger. She doesn't have you by her side. Besides, even if she agrees, I won't agree to her."

After hearing this, Licorice bowed and kowtowed with gratitude, and Du Wenhao left dumbfounded.

As expected, the little cutie didn't dislike the stuffed purslane with some sugar. Cuilian carefully fed it spoonful by spoonful. At dusk, the fever subsided, and there was no blood in the poop.
