wedding dress

Chapter 188 Apprenticeship
Before dawn, Hongjing hurriedly came to knock on the door, saying that Zhao Zhi had a fever, and her whole body was burning hot, and the personnel did not know.

Xiaodong fell into a drowsy sleep, listened to the hasty knocking on the door outside, and got up with his clothes on.

Did Qin Lie get his wish last night?

Well, some things can be said to be destined by the heavens. Before the two of them fell asleep, it suddenly started to rain.It was raining fast and hard.There was a rushing sound all around.In such an environment, not to mention the creaking of the floor, even if the two of them were really wrestling in the room, others would not be able to tell the difference.

When the rain outside gradually subsided, Qin Lie went downstairs to fetch water and brought it up. It was almost four o'clock at that time.

So Xiaodong was in low spirits, got up in a hurry, felt a little dizzy, couldn't see anything clearly for a while, and after recovering, he asked, "Have you read it, sir?"

"I've read it, but the medicinal materials to be used are not enough."

Qin Lie said: "What's missing, I'll send someone to pick it up from the front street warehouse."

Hongjing took out the medicine master prescribed by the doctor, and circled a few medicines below, none of which were available at home.Qin Lie didn't care about anything else, so he called someone to fetch the medicine first.

Xiaodong simply freshened up and went to see Zhao Zhi.Her eyes were closed, her cheeks were flushed, and she had several blisters on her lips. She didn't look very well.

"What did the doctor say?"

"It's just that I'm weak and I've suffered from the cold." Hongjing said in a low voice, "I checked last night before I went to bed, and the windows are all closed, but you see, it's boring and opened again in the middle of the night. It rained at night and the wind was cool."

This is probably the reason.

"What about the child?"

"Sister-in-law Seven in the front yard is helping to take care of her. I'm afraid I'll get sick here, and she's next door."

The seventh sister-in-law was the local woman from Suizhou who delivered the meal yesterday. She was wearing a black blouse and floral skirt embroidered with fire phoenix flowers, coaxing the child.Xiaodong still doesn't know his name, and Zhao Zhi only calls him baby.

Seventh Sister-in-Law's accent was too strong, at most Xiaodong could understand [-]% to [-]% of her words, most of them couldn't understand.She even said and gestured, which meant that she was going to work and the child had been fed.

Xiaodong took the child over, and the child didn't admit that he was born at all, and he was in good spirits after eating and drinking enough. When he saw Xiaodong, he grinned and giggled.

Looking at him, Xiaodong was a little happy, but also a little sad.

This child... I'm afraid it will be another Qin Lie in the future.

Isn't that right, no grandma, no uncle, no father, no grandma——

Xiaodong touched his head emotionally.

The medicine was cooked and fed to Zhao Zhi.After noon, the fever gradually subsided, but I didn't have the strength to get up.But the day was not over, and in the evening she had another fever.After repeating this, it was not until the third day that he finally got better. He became thinner again, and his eyes were sunken.When Xiaodong saw her again, he almost couldn't recognize her.Zhao Zhi was only two or three years older than her, but now she looked like a person in her thirties and forties, with dry hair and dull eyes.Her cheeks used to be plump and delicate like peach petals, but now they look like dried grass leaves blown by the strong wind.

There is no more famous doctor in Suizhou, so two people were invited. One said the same thing as the doctor at home, and the other said that he was probably frightened and uneasy.

Xiaodong also felt that the latter statement might be closer to the truth.

When Xiaodong entered the room, Zhao Zhi hugged the quilt, looked up at her, and turned away again.

"How do you feel? Is it better?"

Zhao Zhi remained silent, Xiaodong asked Hongjing, "Can I take the medicine?"

"Just ate."

Zhao Zhi suddenly said, "I have something to tell you."

Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Hongjing.Hongjing said knowingly, "I'll go see if the water has boiled."

But she didn't dare to go far when she went out, she walked a few steps and then quietly turned around to listen at the door.The most common sentence that Hongjing heard from Hu was: It is necessary to guard against others.Although Zhao Zhi was crooked, if she really had other thoughts, she had to be more careful.

After Hongjing went out, Zhao Zhi didn't speak for a long time.Xiaodong was not in a hurry to ask her.

"Xiaodong, do you think there are ghosts in this world?"

Xiaodong never thought that she would ask such a sentence: "Of course not."

Zhao Zhi nodded, her voice hoarse: "I want to ask you one thing. In case something happens to me... Please take care of my child."

Xiaodong was taken aback: "Don't talk nonsense, you're still young, it's not like you're suffering from some serious illness, and you'll recover in two or three days."

Zhao Zhi just shook her head.Xiaodong tried to persuade her again, but she remained silent.

When she came out of the house, there were not only red thorns outside, but also Mrs. Hu.The two walked away a little, away from the house, and then Hu shi said in a low voice: "Princess, when you come back, please tell the people who take care of her. I'm afraid that Zhao Zhi will commit suicide."

Xiaodong was startled.What Hu said was too reasonable.The sense of despair in Zhao Zhi's words just now radiated an ominous atmosphere everywhere.

"Yes, what mother said makes sense, I didn't expect..." But: "Is Zhao Zhi willing to have a child?"

"According to common sense, it should be reluctance, but she is sick again now, so it's hard to say. Besides, if this child is taken care of by you, it will definitely be much better than following her. Alas, Zhao Zhi can be regarded as my watch She grew up, if her father didn't do such a thing..."

That's right, if King Jingjun hadn't rebelled, everything would certainly not be what it is now.

Parents' backgrounds cannot be chosen, no wonder Zhao Zhi.But regarding the Zhang family's matter... Xiaodong couldn't decide who was right and who was wrong.

Seeing her frowning, Mrs. Hu wanted to make her happy, and said with a smile: "By the way, the Li family sent someone to bring a gift, and put it in front of you. Go and have a look."

"Gift?"

Why did you suddenly send a gift?
Xiaodong went to look ahead, and the person sent by the Li family was very respectful and polite, and presented the gift list, specifically explaining: "The six lifts placed over there are for Mr. Zhang Ziqian."

Xiaodong glanced at it, the list was split left and right, the one for Zhang Ziqian was not as thin as the one for them, and it was very complete, including four jars of good old wine.

Which song is this sung?Li Wanhe and Zhang Ziqian have no friendship - what do you want to do with such a generous gift?

Zhang Ziqian came in from the outside. He was wearing a short linen robe that locals would wear. At first glance, he looked like a local.But most of the people here have dark skin, but he has fair skin, which is totally different.

"Here, look, someone gave you a gift."

Zhang Ziqian took the gift list and didn't read it.The man from the Li family was very polite and respectful to Zhang Ziqian: "My master ordered that we have a banquet at home tonight. Please invite Mr. Qin, Mrs. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang to come. My master would like to thank Mr. Zhang for the two Mr. teaching."

Xiaodong was dying of curiosity, and when the man left, he hurriedly asked: "What does the man from the Li family mean? How did you teach the Li family brothers in those few days?"

Zhang Ziqian just smiled: "Half-aged children, they are just playful, and nothing else. They can't cheat me if they want to cheat, and they can't do it if they try to force them. I didn't teach them anything, and they are honest. I see them. It seems that he has probably figured out some things, and went home honestly after getting off the boat."

It turned out that the Li family gave him a heavy gift for this, and Xiaodong couldn't do without admiration.

It's really marinated tofu.

Li Wanhe had nothing to do, Qin Liemin couldn't deal with them, and they were submissive in Zhang Ziqian's hands.

"So, I'm still in your favor."

"Who gets whose light?"

Qin Lie strode in and was slightly surprised when he saw those gifts.Xiaodong smiled and told what happened just now, and Qin Lie was also surprised: "No wonder they obediently went back when they disembarked. It turned out that you were shocked. Well, let's go to Li's to have dinner together tonight." .”

Xiaodong was a little worried about Zhao Zhi, and Mrs. Hu told her to just go, and she would take care of her at home.

Xiaodong glanced through the window, Zhao Zhi was in a deep sleep, it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

At dusk, the Li family's village was built in the middle of the mountain, and half of the mountain was illuminated by torches and lanterns.Li Wanhe came out with a smile on his face, his complexion was better than when he was in the capital, people are always more at ease in their own place.Yao Jinfeng's waist can already be seen to be pregnant, she is a little fatter, and a little softer has been added to her original bright beauty.Xiaodong was naturally happy to meet her.The two whispered aside.

"The journey went smoothly, but since the day before yesterday, I have started to feel a little sick, and I feel like throwing up when I smell anything, especially when I wake up in the morning. I don't want to eat the things I used to like to eat now, and I don't want to deal with things that I didn't care about before. Now I can’t even think about it.”

Xiaodong smiled and said, "Well, I've also heard that many people are like this. It is said that some people still want to eat watermelon within three or nine days."

Yao Jinfeng stuck out her tongue: "This is really difficult. Where can I get watermelons in winter?" She was dazed while touching her slightly raised belly, as if she was worried, if she wanted to eat watermelons in the March [-]th season, it would be terrible. how good
"By the way, I haven't thanked you yet, that girl Yanzi is much more honest since she came back."

"Really?" Xiaodong was also very surprised.She didn't expect that a few days of needlework could turn that girl's temperament around.

"Well, after I came back, I didn't talk back, and I didn't want to run around anymore, but I was able to stay in the house." Yao Jinfeng said: "Yesterday, he uncharacteristically said that he wanted to read a book."

Her face was rosy, her complexion was very good, and when she smiled, her brows and eyes were crooked, and she had an indescribably charming charm.

No wonder it is said that women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Marriage is very important for women.

The banquet is complete, Suizhou does not pay much attention to the defense of men and women, Xiaodong and Yao Jinfeng sit at the same table with them.After drinking for three rounds, Li Changhe apologized to the two brothers for their recklessness, and thanked Zhang Ziqian.

"Mr. Zhang, although we are meeting for the first time today, I think you are also a straightforward person, so I will speak frankly. My brother left early, leaving this pair of devil kings behind, I am very troubled I am afraid that one of them is not good, and I will have no face to see my brother and sister-in-law. These two children have never obeyed anyone since they were young, but when they came back that day, they told me that they would ask you to be their teacher. I also know that this is a Please..."

Xiaodong and Qin Lie were also surprised and looked at each other.

I have a cold, a little fever, dizziness, and my condition is not very good. .
