pampering wife

Chapter 56

Madam He really sighed and said: "It's been cold for the past few days, Lian Er's old problem has recurred, so she's resting indoors."

Qingmei was very worried, and she didn't care about greeting Gu Changqing, she ran into the house a few steps and turned into He Zilian's bedroom, after which Mrs. He beckoned Gu Changqing to go in.

There are several braziers in the room, although it is considered warm, it is not as warm as the earth dragon in Gu's mansion.He Zilian was sick and haggard, and she was lazily dressed at home, only casually pulling her hair up, leaning on the pillow to read a book, seeing her sick and weak appearance, Qingmei couldn't help feeling pain in her heart, and rushed to hold her in a few steps asked with his hand, "How do you feel?"

"I'm sick, it's just like that, why is my sister here?" He Zilian was in a lonely and depressing time, when he suddenly saw Qingmei, how could he not be unhappy, and under the laughter, there was some blood on his cheeks.

"Come out to buy some things for wine making. I will come to see you when I come out of the house. By the way, I will ask Mr. He something."

"Brother is still in the Imperial College, if you want to see him, you can only ask someone to send a message to tell him to come back in the evening." Since He Zilian knew that Qingmei was in the Gu residence, naturally she would not have the idea of ​​asking Qingmei to go to the Imperial College in person.

Qingmei nodded: "Then I will stay at your place tonight, okay?"

"Okay!" He Zilian clapped her hands happily, "We just happened to talk together."

Qingmei was overjoyed, and then remembered Gu Changqing, when she turned out of the small boudoir to the living room, she saw Gu Changqing drinking tea there, accompanied by Mrs. Gu.Since Gu Hanzhang passed away, all the family's entertainments have been entrusted to Mrs. Gu, and since He Zimo is not at home recently, she can only accompany guests when they visit.

In the hall, Gu Changqing saw her coming out, so he raised his eyes to look at her, Qingmei put on a crying face, and said very sadly: "Second elder brother, Lian'er is ill again, I..." He hesitated to speak, but the thoughts in his heart were gone. It was clearly written on his face.

Gu Changqing is a person who is good at observing words and expressions, how can he not understand that even though he secretly laughed at her appearance in his heart, his face still became serious, and said: "In that case, you stay here tonight, and tomorrow I will send someone to take you back home , I will report to my mother."

"Thank you, Second Brother!" This thank you was sincere.

Gu Changqing waved his hand slightly, saying that he had something to do and left first.Qingmei sent him out, went back to the room and asked about He Zilian's condition carefully, knowing that it was due to her congenital deficiency, as long as she stayed in bed, she would recover in the spring, and her worries disappeared.

It was already noon at this time, Madam He prepared lunch, the three of them chatted and ate without Mrs Xu, it was inevitable that each of them sighed a few words.During the meal, Qingmei made her intentions clear, Madam He went outside to find a boy, told him to pass a message to He Zimo in the Imperial College, and thanked him for some money.

Guozijian is not too close to Chongrenfang. He Zimo usually lives in the school dormitory if he has nothing to do. It is rare for him to come home tonight. Mrs. He puts extra effort when preparing dinner, Qingmei is there to help, even He Zilian He put on his thick clothes and got up, gathered around the brazier under the kitchen to watch the two of them busy.

When He Zimo came back, the sky was already very dark, and one or two stars appeared in the sky, dotted there dimly.

The three people in the kitchen were very busy, and most of the meals were on the table, only the last winter melon soup was left.He Zimo thought it was something at home, so he left in a hurry, and he was relieved when he saw the busy scene in the kitchen.

Qingmei greeted, "Mr. He." He Zimo said, "It turns out that Qingmei is here. How is Aunt Xu?"

"Mother is fine." Qing Mei smiled, and when Mrs. He put the soup in the porcelain pot, she wanted to bring it to the house, but He Zimo said: "The pot is hot, let me do it." past.

The four of them were waiting to sit around and eat, the little one who was fostered here rubbed against Qingmei, and spent the whole afternoon not expressing his miss for the little master.Qingmei was also delighted, quickly finished the meal, and played with the little one again - after being raised by the He family for nearly two months, this dog has become fatter and stronger.

After the meal, Mrs. He cleaned up the dishes, but when Qingmei wanted to help, He Zimo called her to the study, and asked bluntly, "Did you come to see me today for something?"

The lights in the room were bright, and under the shadow of the lights, the girl was slender and tall. She seemed to be a little taller than before, and her demeanor was a little more reserved than before, not as naughty and active as before.The three walls of the study room are covered with stacks of book scrolls, the pen, ink and inkstone table on the desk are arranged neatly and orderly, and the small pen holder from Qingshan was a gift from Qingmei.

The same book shadow and ink fragrance, the same young girl, but she gave people a completely different feeling, a little more stable and restrained, and less of the previous high-spirited.It can be said that He Zimo watched Qingmei grow up. At this time, he didn't know whether he should be happy that she had become sensible, or regret that she had lost her vigor, but his mood was complicated.

Qingmei, on the other hand, couldn't see his emotions at all, she just pulled the high chair with futon beside her and sat down, bit her lips and said: "Mr. He, Qingmei came here today to ask you about the court affairs."

Looking over with clear eyes, He Zimo asked, "About Gu Fu?"

Qingmei nodded: "The relationship between me and Gu's family is very complicated. There are some things that I can't ask the people in Gu's house, so I can only ask Mr. for help." Respectfully, "I don't know what is the situation of the Gu family in today's officialdom?"
