Chapter 51

"Miss, he said that the letter has been delivered. It was handed to Mr. Xie according to the order of the girl."

When Chunyuan got the letter, she hurried over to report it to Mingyu, and seeing her answer, she was still putting a few clusters of freshly cut early chrysanthemums into a purple jasmine octagonal vase on the table, and said closer, " He also said that while he was waiting there, he came across Mr. Sun who had been seen by our old lady before. When he asked a question, it seemed that a girl in the family had blown the wind last night and was feeling a little uncomfortable today. "

Ming Yu was startled, stopped his hand still fiddling with flowers, and asked, "Which girl knows?"

"I don't know."

Xie Mingrou's body has always been strong, like the wind last night, it seems unlikely that she will catch a cold, so it should be Xie Jingzhu.

Ming Yu thought for a while, stopped what she was doing, and went to Jiang Shi.

"It's like this!" Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang frowned slightly, and immediately said, "The girl from the Xie family caught a cold when she came back from my house. She is always a little bit sorry. Now that I know about it, I'm going to visit her." .”

Ming Yu nodded: "My daughter also means the same thing. Only after going to see her can I feel at ease."

The mother and daughter agreed that everything was ready, and Jiang picked two high-quality Korean ginseng, and took a nap after noon.An Mo clamored to follow her, but Jiang Shi refused at first, Ming Yu smiled and said: "Jing Zhu and Mo Er have met several times, and the two of them are very talkative. It's okay to take them with you."

Seeing that she had said this, Jiang nodded, and told An Mo not to make noise when he passed, and seeing that he agreed, they drove over together.

When they arrived at Xie's house at the south gate, Jiang repeatedly lamented that it was his own fault. Mrs. Xie shook her head and said, "The child has been weak since he was a child, with insufficient energy and blood. When it's hot, he suffers from heatstroke and sore throat, and when it's cold, he suffers from the wind. When my aunt was still there, I don’t know how much effort I spent on her. Now that I’m getting older, luckily, I’m much better. I caught a cold last night, which was also an accident. Fortunately, Sun Langzhong said, take some medicine that diverges, and slowly raise a child. It will be fine in the future, and there will be no serious problems."

Mrs. Jiang went to Xie Jingzhu's room, comforted her, and was invited by Mrs. Xie to drink tea. Only Ming Yu, An Mo, and Xie Mingrou were left in the room.Ming Yu sat beside Xie Jing's bamboo couch, saw her lying there with a tired face and coughing continuously, she felt guilty in her heart, held her hand and said, "It's all my fault, I was negligent last night, I just wanted to be happy, but I didn't watch out for what made you like this .”

Xie Jingzhu hurriedly shook her head, and said with a low laugh, "Sister Ruan, what's the matter? I don't want to go back to Beijing. I'm so flustered, and I just stole for a few more days. If my sister is free, while I'm still here, come and see me a few more times to talk. , I'm happy."

"I also want to catch a cold! Last time I was lying on the bed with a cough like sister Xie. My sister stayed with me all the time, and even slept with me at night. She even made cakes for me!"

An Mo on the side couldn't find a chance to speak, and suddenly heard Xie Jingzhu's words, and hurriedly leaned over to intervene.It made everyone in the room laugh.Ming Yu hugged him and leaned against her, took a white porcelain bottle from Chun Yuan's hand, and said with a smile: "I was weak when I was young, and there were a lot of hot and cold wind in my throat. Later, I didn't intend to get it from a thousand gold prescription I saw a prescription for strengthening the spleen and harmonizing the honey paste, so I took it regularly according to the exercise, and found it still effective. After taking it for a long time, even the complexion of the skin felt much moisturized. It happened that I did a few more bottles last time. After eating, I knew that my sister was not in good health, so I brought it with me. When my sister is well, take two tablespoons of warm water and eat it every day. Fortunately, the taste is also fragrant and sweet, and it can be eaten as honey water."

Xie Jingzhu asked the girl to pick it up, and thanked her repeatedly.Xie Mingrou heard it, and hurriedly said: "What kind of recipe is so good, seeing how delicate and moist my sister's complexion is, I was envious in my heart before, so there is a secret recipe, why didn't I tell you earlier!"

Ming Yu said with a smile: "This is called Muxiang Xiankou Cream. It is mainly made of ground wood vanilla cardamom, supplemented with Poria cocos, depilated loquat leaves, fried yellow three immortals, magnolia perilla leaves and Qianghuo. All the medicinal materials are decocted with water to remove the dregs, then boiled to thicken, and finally add honey to refine it into an ointment, each time it takes four qian, and it can be taken with warm water. It is the best for girls, it not only promotes blood circulation, but also moisturizes muscles."

Xie Mingrou said happily: "It's great to hear the name, write it down quickly, and I will cook and eat." While talking, she asked the girl to spread paper and grind ink.Ming Yu went over and wrote it down.Stay with Xie Jingzhu for a while.The girl brought over the freshly brewed concoction, and seeing that she was a little drowsy after taking it, she made an appointment to visit again in two days, and was sent out by Xie Mingrou.As soon as he stepped out of the door, he frightened for a while, because he raised his eyes and saw Xie Zuiqiao turning out from a flower wall beside the moon cave gate in the courtyard ten steps away, thinking that he came to visit his sister.It was too late to dodge, so they looked at each other, seeing him standing there motionless and looking at him, Rao kept thinking in his heart that he was only a few years younger than himself, but he felt a little uncomfortable all over his body stand up.

Seeing Xie Zuiqiao coming, Xie Mingrou smiled and called "Cousin" and walked towards him.Ming Yu had no choice but to suppress the anxiety and embarrassment in her heart, took An Mo's hand and followed.When he got close to him, he greeted him according to the rules, and called out "Master Xie", but he didn't look at him, and only fell on a piece of moss clinging to the stone at the foot of the flower wall behind him.

"Hey, it's you!"

Ming Yu saw Li, saw that he was still standing still, did not hear him speak, and was about to bow his head to leave, when he suddenly felt that his hand was shaken by An Mo beside him, and he yelled loudly.

"Sister, it's him! When you accidentally bled last time..."

An Mo recognized Xie Zuiqiao as the person he met in the Songxiang Courtyard a few months ago, his eyes widened in surprise and joy, and he kept shaking Ming Yu's hand.Hearing that he actually brought up that terrible thing that she wished to erase again, Ming Yu's face froze as if on fire, and she hurriedly covered An Mo's mouth, not to mention the expression on Xie Zuiqiao's face opposite her. After dragging An Mo, he hurriedly bypassed him and walked along the corridor outside the flower wall.

Xie Mingrou and Mingyu have known each other for several years, it was the first time she saw her lose her composure, she looked at her cousin in a daze, and seeing that he also had a strange expression, and she couldn't quite understand him, she shook her head and hurriedly chased after him past.

"Sister Ruan, when did you get hurt? I don't know why?"

Xie Mingrou asked curiously.

Ming Yu hurriedly said: "It's nothing. It's just that I accidentally fell down. Good morning." Seeing An Mo who was on the side, he couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of Xie Zuiqiao, fearing that he would be outspoken again and pull him away Get in front of yourself and block it.

Xie Mingrou didn't doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. I just heard what little brother Mo said, but it really gave me a jump."

Mingyu laughed along with her, and was sent some more way. Seeing that she was out of the yard, and then passed the Daozhelang, it was the small side hall where her mother and Mrs. Xie were having tea, so she asked her to stop.Xie Mingrou nodded and told her to leave, Ming Yu smiled and accepted, and took An Mo and Chun Yuan to find her mother, Jiang Shi.

"Mo'er, have you forgotten how you made the promise with Elder Sister last time? Elder Sister even made honey cake for you to eat."

On the verandah, Ming Yu saw that An Mo's nose was stained with dust from somewhere, so she stopped, knelt down, took a handkerchief, and wiped it off carefully for him. Thinking of the scene just now, she couldn't help but whisper blame.

"I've finished eating the honey cake long ago. If I forget the taste, I will also forget what my sister said."

An Mo opened his eyes and said honestly.

Mingyu couldn't help laughing, and burst out laughing, "Okay, I'll do it again when I get back. But this time, I must remember it, and forget it again if I don't like it."

An Mo nodded happily, then suddenly tugged Ming Yu's sleeve again, and whispered, "That man is here again..."

Ming Yu was startled, followed his line of sight to look over, and was startled again.Unexpectedly, Xie Zuiqiao detoured from another road at some point, and was standing at the corner of the corridor opposite.Seeing him striding steadily towards her, with a calm expression on her face, she didn't know what he wanted to do for a while, but she was a little at a loss as to what to do, so she had to stand up slowly.

"I recognize you. Can you ride a horse and fight?"

An Mo smiled at Xie Zuiqiao who was approaching.He is young, there is only his eldest sister in his family, and his father rarely sees him once a day.From time to time, I also envy others to have my elder brother take me to fight on horseback.In his eyes, Xie Zuiqiao was very handsome, he was exactly what he imagined a hero would look like, and he had a good impression of him, so he opened his mouth and asked him what he thought was the most remarkable thing.

Xie Zuiqiao was startled, touched his head, then squatted in front of him and smiled, "Of course. If you are free, I will take you to fight on horseback and teach you how to use a knife, okay?"

An Mo was overjoyed, and suddenly remembered that if his sister didn't agree, it would be useless for him to agree, so he grabbed Ming Yu and shook his hand: "Sister, I want to fight with him on horseback and use swords."

Ming Yu raised her eyes and saw Xie Zuiqiao looking at her with a smile. She was embarrassed for a moment, and hurriedly whispered to An Mo: "He is going back to Beijing in a few days, so don't make trouble."

"My sister will rest for about half a month, and I have nothing to do here, it doesn't matter."

Xie Zuiqiao replied solemnly.

Ming Yu wanted to push again, but An Mo grabbed Xie Zuiqiao's hand and jumped up, "Okay, then I'll wait for my brother to come over at home." Once he was happy, Xie Zuiqiao also said "he" in his mouth Upgraded to "brother".

Xie Zuiqiao complied and glanced at Ming Yu. She had a look of disapproval on her face, pretending not to see her, she just leaned over and smiled at An Mo, "I want to have a word with your sister, okay?"

An Mo's bright eyes rolled between Ming Yu and him a few times, and he nodded in response.

"Chunyuan, take him to play in the pavilion over there."

Xie Zuiqiao straightened up and said to Chunyuan with a calm expression.

Ming Yu was stunned when she saw that Chunyuan was acting like her own maid.If it was said that meeting him just now was just a chance encounter, this time it was obvious that he was waiting for him on purpose.Although what I want to say has already been explained in the letter I sent this morning, seeing his posture, if I don't listen to him say a few words, I'm afraid he won't give up.

Now that we have met each other, some things may be clearer when we say them face to face.Thinking of this, Ming Yu finally calmed down her uneasy heart just now, then turned her head to look at Chun Yuan, and nodded her head slightly.

Chunyuan knows that Mr. Xie has had several contacts with her daughter in the past few years, although she is not very clear about the relationship between the two of them, she only vaguely knows that Mr. Xie deliberately came here this time, it must be the same as this morning. The letter sent.Seeing that her own girl had no objection, she followed Xie Zuiqiao's words and took An Mo's hand to the pavilion at the end of the corridor a dozen steps away.
