The doctor arrived at the Wei Mansion in the middle of the day as scheduled.

The doctor Benji, a native of Leling County, came to Yuyang a few years ago to avoid war. He has outstanding medical skills and benevolence, and gradually became famous in the city. People called him Leling doctors, but his real name gradually disappeared. A few days ago, she was invited to the Wei House and learned that Mrs. Xu was unwell, so she carefully diagnosed and treated her.

Mrs. Xu was in good health. It's just that after all, because of his advanced age, when he encountered this sadness and anger, and the evil fire attacked his heart, he fell down. Fortunately, after several days of treatment, the condition gradually eased.

Doctor Leling was returning to the clinic at this moment. After looking around, hearing and asking, he made some additions and deletions to the old prescription, instructed him to take the medicine as prescribed, and then left. Xiao Qiao delivered it in person, but Leling Doctor hurriedly said that he did not dare, and the lady stopped.

Xiao Qiao took a few more steps. Seeing that there were no servants and maids nearby, he asked him in a low voice about Madam Xu's condition: "Is there really no problem?"

Doctor Leling replied: "The old lady's heart is stagnant due to stagnant fire, and her blood vessels are not regulated, so she can't get sick. Although this time the disease is severe, but according to my prescription, you should be able to recover in ten days and a half months. Don't worry, please."

Doctor Leling's tone was firm, and his attitude was quite sincere. Unlike casual rhetoric, Xiao Qiao finally felt a little relieved. As a token of gratitude, the servant girl took the doctor out and returned to the house by herself. At this time, a servant girl entered, saying that Mrs. Su, Mrs. Zuo Fengyi, came to visit the old lady.

Mrs. Xu was lying on the pillow, Xiao Qiao saw her closing her eyes for a moment, and said slowly: "I'm asleep, it's inconvenient to see guests. Please come back!"

The maid was about to leave, when Madam Xu suddenly opened her eyes again and said, "Tell her to come in!"

After the maid left, Mrs. Xu asked Xiao Qiao to help her sit up. Xiao Qiao supported her and put a waist pad behind her. Zhong Li took the bone comb, combed the old woman's hair, and tied it in a neat bun at the back of her head. Xiao Qiao served and changed her coat. When it was done, Xiao Qiao was about to retreat. With one hand, he ordered her to sit beside the bed and said, "You stay with me."

Xiao Qiao Yiyan sat on the side of the bed. Zhong Ni ordered the servants to summon him. After a while, with the sound of soft footsteps, a purple figure swayed out of the door. Xiao Qiao looked up and saw Su Nu entering.

She dressed very simply today, and when she got to Mrs. Xu's bed, she knelt down and said, "My grandniece invites my grandmother, Jin An."

Madam Xu asked her to get up. Su Ehuang got up and said: "After the Lulitai farewell that day, the grandniece injured the daughter-in-law's brother because of her nephew Su Xin's reckless disrespect. She felt uneasy and wanted to come to apologize. Again, I stayed in the post house for a few days, but I was able to go out today. I ran into a prince on the road unexpectedly, and when I saw him, I knew that my aunt and grandmother were not feeling well. My niece was worried and wanted to visit, but she was afraid of disturbing my aunt. My grandmother is resting. Fortunately, Jun Hou has given permission, and my grandniece came here on a whim. I don’t know how my aunt and grandmother are doing? Can you ask the doctor for medicine?”

Mrs. Xu showed a faint smile and said, "I'm fine. You have a heart too."

Su Ehuang looked at Madam Xu with concern for a moment, then Fang sighed and smiled: "My aunt and grandmother are all right, I feel at ease." After speaking, his eyes fell on Xiao Qiao, who had always been sitting beside Madam Xu's couch. He took a step forward and said earnestly: "That day, my nephew Su Xin accidentally injured my brother, and I felt so remorseful that I entered the room without face. At this moment, I am kneeling outside the gate. If I am lucky enough to get my sister's permission, I will ask him to apologize. "

Xiao Qiao said: "The sword has no eyes, the hand can't be held for a while, and there are accidental injuries. My brother didn't mean to blame at that time, and I won't take it to heart. Madam is very polite, don't worry about it..."

Su Ehuang's gaze fell on Xiao Qiao's face, paused for a while, and then smiled: "It's fine if you don't blame my sister. Otherwise, I'm really to blame."

Xiao Qiao smiled and didn't speak again.

"Will my aunt and grandmother allow me to stay in front of the bed for a few days?"

Su E Huangfu turned to Mrs. Xu again: "For many years, my grandniece has been running around abroad, but she is helpless. This time I came back to Yuyang at the opportunity of the Luli Conference. Years of admiration."

Mrs. Xu's single eye fell on Emperor Su E's face and stared at her quietly for a moment.

Ever since Su Ehuang entered, Madam Xu has always had a faint smile on her face. Looking at her like this at this moment, the faint smile on her face began to gradually disappear.

"I am very good here, and there is no shortage of people to serve. I appreciate your filial piety. Yuyang is not very beautiful to linger. It is located in the north, the season is gradually entering the severe winter, and the road is blocked by a snow. I remember back to me before. When I went to Zhongshan, your mother also came to see me. I saw that she was also weak. You should go back to Zhongshan's house earlier, and the family may be worried about it if you are stuck here."

Madam Xu finally spoke slowly.

Her voice was still gentle, but with a faint compulsive force.

Su Ehuang lowered his eyes: "Thanks for the advice from my aunt and grandmother. My grandniece wrote it down."

Madam Xu nodded.

Seeing that she was about to lie down, Xiao Qiao hurriedly leaned over to support her shoulders and arms, helping her to lie down slowly.

Madam Xu lay down and closed her eyes.

Su E Huang said: "I don't dare to disturb my aunt and grandmother to rest in peace, and my grand-niece will kowtow first." The Tathagata kowtowed respectfully.

Madam Xu closed her eyes and said, "Zhong Li, send her off."

Su Ehuang stood up, glanced at Madam Xu and Xiao Qiao at last, turned around with a smile, and was sent out by Zhong Li. A moment later, when Zhong Nuo came back, Madam Xu opened her eyes and asked, "Are you gone?"

"Speaking of going to visit the lady again."

Madam Xu said, "She has always been polite." Her tone was light. Immediately, he asked again, "What are you doing over the East House these two days?"

Zhong Ni said: "Madam has been sick in the room for the past few days. She sent Jiang Ni to come here, saying that she was afraid to extend her illness to the old lady, so she didn't dare to come to serve."

Madam Xu was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Since she is sick in bed, I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of the family's response. You go and tell me what to say, ask her to do some things, and ask her grandson-in-law to help her deal with it. , you also asked the accountant to talk to the daughter-in-law of Sun."

Xiao Qiao was slightly surprised. She stood up in a hurry and was about to say no when Mrs. Xu looked at her with a smile and said, "You have been in the door for nearly a year, and you have become familiar everywhere. Now I don't want you to take care of everything. There are a lot of confused accounts at home, and I am old. I don't want to worry about it anymore. Your mother-in-law is not very energetic, so you should help her. If you don't know anything, just ask Zhong Li. "

Xiao Qiao could only say: "I will do my best and not dare to let down my grandmother's love." Then he thanked Zhong Li: "I am young and ignorant, and there will be many shortcomings. Please give Eminem your advice."

Zhong Nu smiled and nodded: "The lady is serious. The maid will do her best."

…

Su Ehuang came to the East Room and stood quietly outside the door. After waiting for a while, Jiang Li came out with a maid beside her, and said coldly, "Madam doesn't want to see you. I told you to go quickly. This is not a place for you to stay for a long time."

Su E Huang said: "Thank you for passing on the words on behalf of my wife. Madam's teaching, word by word, I will keep it in my heart and I will not dare to forget each other." After speaking, she turned around, as she did when she came, and left without haste or slow. After leaving the gate of Wei Mansion, Su Xin, who was waiting, dashed over and asked, "Aunt, are you visible? How do you say it?"

The smile that Su Ehuang had always had on his face finally disappeared, and he said coldly: "I expected you to make a name for yourself at the Luli Conference, but you are embarrassing for me! What else can the people in your way say?"

Su Xin was ashamed, bowed his head and dared not respond.

Su Ehuang glanced at him, her expression softened a little, and said, "That's it! It's useless to blame you now that something has happened. I just ripped off my face and said good things for you in front of them, so I'll accompany you. There are still some friendships in the early years, and the matter has been revealed, you don't have to worry anymore."

Su Xin didn't know that the white-robed teenager who was his rival was Wei Shao's brother-in-law. Anxiety these days. Hearing her say this suddenly, the matter must have been revealed. Overjoyed, he hurriedly bowed and smiled: "Thank you aunt. I know that my aunt has always loved me. In the future, my nephew will never dare to be so reckless."

A smile appeared on Su Ehuang's face, and she snorted: "It's good to know that your aunt loves you. Let's go."

Su Xin hurriedly ordered the carriage to come. He personally led Su Ehuang to the front of the carriage, and put on a veil for her: "Aunt, please sit up."

Before Su Ehuang boarded the carriage, he turned his head to take a last look at the gate of Wei Mansion that was closed behind him. After turning back, his expression was calm, and he bent down and got into the carriage. With a melodious clanging sound, the carriage gradually left.

…

Xiao Qiao went down to the East Room with Zhong Ni.

Zhu Shiben was in the room with Jiang Hao, contemptuous of Su Ehuang, who had been driven away by her, when she suddenly heard that the two of them were coming, and hurriedly went to bed and lay down, pulling the quilt over her neck, facing inward and motionless. When Xiao Qiao stepped forward to greet her, she turned her head weakly and asked her what was going on. Zhong Li explained what Mrs. Xu meant. Zhu Shi was taken aback and sat up from the pillow. After a long while, he reluctantly responded.

As soon as Xiao Qiao and Zhong Li left, Zhu Shi couldn't hold back, was angry and ashamed, and swept all the utensils on the table and table to the ground.

When the servants and women saw that she was in a rage, the room was constantly buzzing, and they did not dare to approach. Finally, Jiang Li came in, and after persuading him again and again, Zhu Shifang slowly stopped, put his hand on his forehead, and said with a white face: "The old woman not only married the enemy's daughter for my son, but now she only sees Qiao's daughter. She is here, I am afraid that this Wei family will no longer have a place for me in the future!"

…

Little Joe was busy that day. Received the keys of the two warehouses for food and cloth and made an account. Accompanied by the steward and maid, he took a quick look around and asked someone to send the account to his room first.

What she was most concerned about was Madam Xu's illness. In the evening, I went to the North House again. After serving Mrs. Xu, she went to see medicine in the small kitchen.

Seeing her coming, Guo Yi, who was decocting the medicine, hurriedly greeted her. Before Xiao Qiao could speak, she said, "The medicine is almost ready. Lady, don't worry.

This Guo woman is also an old woman who has served Mrs. Xu for many years and is very loyal. Because she had received a special warning from Xiao Qiao before, Chunniang also handed her some reward money on the grounds that she saw her hard work, so she was more attentive. After the medicine came out, it was brought into the room. Mrs. Xu took the medicine, sat for a while, the medicinal properties came out, lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

When it was getting dark, Xiao Qiao returned to the Westinghouse. Wei Shao hasn't returned yet.

Enough of this day. She was also hungry at the moment, so she went to eat by herself, went back to the room and sat down, and turned over the account of the warehouse.

Paper is now available. However, the texture is rough and cannot be used for a long time. Literati and writers often use brief books for writing books or ordinary bookkeeping. The food depot alone has only three months' worth of accounts, and there are almost a bunch of them piled up here.

Xiao Qiao flipped through dozens of pamphlets, thinking that in the future, there would be an opportunity to find craftsmen to make some durable and good paper, and it would be good to replace these pamphlets for bookkeeping, so as to save the need for several people to carry them.

Wei Shao came back a little later than usual. As soon as she entered the room, she was slightly startled to see that Xiao Qiao was busy sitting behind the case, and her head was about to be blocked by the brochures piled up in front of her. Glancing closer.

Zhu was not literate. Mrs. Xu has not asked about these trivial matters in recent years. The accounts in the lower warehouse are inevitably messy. Xiao Qiao looked a little tired. Suddenly Wei Shao came back and looked up to see him standing in front of the case looking at him, so he put down his pen and got up to meet him.

When Xiao Qiao was serving Wei Shao to change his coat, he mentioned by the way that during the day, Mrs. Xu asked herself to help Zhu Shi to share the housework.

"I don't have this thought either. It's just the elders' orders, and I have to do it. After a while, when my mother-in-law is healthy, I will listen to her dispatch."

Wei Shao snorted: "Since grandma ordered it, you can do it."

Xiao Qiao smiled and asked him to go to eat when he learned that he hadn't eaten yet. When we got to the dining hall, Xiao Qiao was still there to serve.

She still had the large sum of confused accounts flying in her mind, and her eyes were a little sluggish and absent-minded.

Wei Shao took two bites of the meal and glanced at her. Suddenly said: "You can use it together, don't wait."

Xiao Qiao came back to her senses and snorted slowly, "Husband, do what you want. I was hungry just now, and I've already eaten."

Wei Shao glanced at her again and said nothing. After eating, he quickly returned to his room and said that he would go to the study.

Joe took him to the door.

Since the last box incident, Xiao Qiao hadn't stepped into his study in Westinghouse.

Wei Shao stepped over the threshold and suddenly remembered what he was about to go. He turned his head and asked, "Can anyone come here today?"

Xiao Qiao leaned against the door frame and looked at him.

Lanterns have been lit in the hallway. A gust of evening wind just came from the entrance of the corridor, brushing the dim red light in the photo above. Under Wei Shao's eyes, there seemed to be an indeterminate layer of darkness. He looked at her without blinking.

The corners of Xiao Qiao's lips curled slightly: "I don't know who my husband is asking? A lot of people have come to the house today."
