Chapter 28 Returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion
She had been lying on the bed for about five days, watching the sun rise and set outside the hut every day, but her heart was numb.

Presumably after her father left, she was locked up by Yang Wanying before she even had time to cry for funerals. Now that she wanted to cry again, she didn't even know who was going to cry. Was she crying for her father, or for the lifeless Wutong?

In the twilight, only a creaking sound was heard, Wu Danqing quietly pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, walked lightly to the front of the house door, and carefully pushed it open, seeing that Pei Yuzhe woke up with his eyes open, his expression suddenly changed It's a little embarrassing.

"Miss, you're awake...Xiaosheng is here to bring you some light porridge." Wu Danqing stammered and explained, not daring to raise his eyes to look at Pei Yuyan, he turned his head and sent the tray in his hand to the bedside.

This scholar was really pedantic and cute, but she felt a little more relaxed from her dull mood just now, she couldn't help but curled the corners of her mouth and smiled at him.

"Do you have any silver taels with you?"

These days, Wu Danqing must have spent a lot of money prescribing medicines for her treatment. Looking at where he lives, one can know that he must only support himself on weekdays, and his sudden appearance has become his burden.

Wu Danqing blushed slightly on the side of his face, thought for a while and replied, "There are still some, don't worry, girl, the doctor said that the girl's cold and face injuries will take a few more days, so she will stay at Xiaosheng's house for a longer time." It’s okay for a while.”

"You lied." She stared at him for a while, then said quietly.

Wu Danqing's eyes were flickering, and he didn't dare to look directly at her, it was clear that the family had no money and had to hold on.After getting along with him these days, she also understood a little bit about him.

Wu Danqing's family is in the north, a natural disaster forced him to travel south alone, only his old mother and a young sister were left at home, he wanted to study hard to get a good name, and go back to pick them up, but life forced him He had to sell calligraphy and paintings on the street to survive.

Presumably Prince Rui's son really just picked up a few calligraphy and painting sellers that day, and went to the Prime Minister's mansion to pay a visit.

She sighed slightly, and took out from her bosom the jewelry she was wearing on her head when she escaped from the mansion that day. After thinking for a long time, the rest should not be very valuable, so she handed her favorite suet white jade silver hairpin in front of him. , "Take it and go to the pawn shop to pawn some silver taels."

"No, no, no!" Wu Danqing blushed even more, and waved his hands again and again, "I really still have some silver on me!"

"Take it, I want to eat something delicious, and I'll take it as your wages for taking care of me these days." She knew in her heart that he was full of pride and would definitely not accept it, so she smiled, "I used to be spoiled and spoiled in the mansion." , not the best, I don’t even want to take a look.”

Wu Danqing glanced at the clear porridge and green cabbage on the bed, finally sighed helplessly, took the hairpin from Pei Yuyan's hand, "Okay then, I'll buy what you want to eat."

She lowered her head and thought about it. This hairpin is a treasure given to her by Aunt Zhao. It is a token of love given to her by Pei Zhaohe. , including giving him enough money to study.

I roughly calculated the medicine money and various expenses these days, and it was almost not much money, so I smiled and said, "I used to eat osmanthus cakes from Yuefulou every day, you can buy a few boxes and share some with the neighbors. , and help me repay the favor."

"Yue Fulou is a little far away, I'm afraid it will be too late to make medicine for you when I come back." Wu Danqing frowned slightly, and finally dared to look back at her.

"It doesn't matter, I have to go out after I finish this bowl of porridge, and it's just right when I come back." She laughed softly, "I told her when Aunt Wang brought me the meal at noon yesterday, and I want to have dinner with her." Let's go out together."
