"Fourth Master, the girl coughed most of the night last night, and she really can't bear it today. I wanted to ask Dr. Hu to come over and prescribe some medicine for her again. But Manager Lu said that it was not convenient for Dr. Hu to come over, so the girl had to go to him for consultation in person. ”
Mother Wen stood at the door of the courtyard and said.
Xie Jingling didn't expect to miss it, and looked a little unhappy.
Mother Wen said: "The girl has just left, how about Fourth Master go in and wait for a while?"
"No. I'll come back later."
Because there were guards there, Xie Jingling didn't worry about anything and went directly to Baishou Hall.
Mrs. Xie knew that he was here to see Ruan Ying, so she sent everyone out of the room, and asked Nanny Li to put out the jade hairpin that had been broken into several pieces.
"Look, this is the arrogance you promoted. Not only did you steal Yuanyuan's jade hairpin, but you also smashed it to pieces. Does she want to stir up chaos in the Xie family?"
Xie Jingling frowned, "Grandma, do you want to lock Aying here just because of such a trivial matter? It's just a jade hairpin. She, Song Yueyi, wants it. I can ask someone to send her a box at any time."
"What the hell are you talking about? Yuanyuan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and you're saying here that she wants it? If she wants it, she won't let the Ruan family take it away!"
"What does grandma want from me?"
"Just protect her." Mrs. Xie was so angry at him that she leaned on her crutches. "Don't let her move out of my place before you and Yuanyuan get married!"
Xie Jingling had been running out all night because of the county government affairs. Xie Jingling really didn't have the energy to argue with her, so he changed the subject and talked about the fact that the Duke Chengwu's Mansion in Beijing would send Brother Liudong to celebrate her birthday.
"If he wants to come, the local officials and gentry will definitely come too. I'm afraid your birthday this year cannot be perfunctory."
Mrs. Xie only felt a headache, "Since Yuanyuan fell ill, the general affairs in the mansion have come to me again. After all, I am getting older, and my health is getting worse day by day. No one in the huge Xie mansion can afford a birthday banquet." .What should we do about this matter..."
Xie Jingling pondered for a moment, "If grandma feels that it is difficult to take charge of the general affairs, it is better to leave it to my cousin. Besides, the fifth brother and the fifth sister are too unruly, so I will ask my cousin to pay more attention to them. The Yamen affairs will be settled before the end of the year. I will try my best to organize the birthday party with my cousin. Grandma can rest peacefully."
Madam Xie was a little bit distraught, "This... I'm afraid it's not right. Yuanyuan's health is still in very bad shape, and if we put these things on her again, if she can't bear it..."
Xie Jingling's brows turned cold, "Why can't you bear it? Let her take charge of the general affairs of the Xie Mansion to give her face."
Mrs. Xie couldn't say anything else. She felt very powerless recently, and her children and grandchildren were worried about her, which gave her a headache, so she had no choice but to do this for now.
Then the grandfather and grandson talked for a while, Xie Jing ordered Fang to stand up and was led to Lanyuan.
When he saw Ruan Ying's haggard face overnight, he was so sad that he held her in his arms, "Ah Ying, I've wronged you..."
Ruan Ying didn't cry, she just hugged him tightly, "Brother Ling, I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Xie Jingling stroked her back gently and said in a soft voice: "Ah Ying, don't think too much. I didn't come to see you yesterday because there was something going on at the Yamen. Don't worry, grandma has been angry these two days. I'll wait for the next two days. The matter is almost settled, let's take her to see Brother Qing. When she feels happy, if I say a few nice words, she will let you move back to Furongyuan."
"Really?" Ruan Ying was delighted, her face suddenly bloomed like a flower in winter, she was very happy.
She couldn't help but pecked him and said coquettishly: "I've always been on tenterhooks, fearing that my brother would change his heart when he saw Cousin Song..."
"Ah Ying, don't worry about her. We have experienced adversity. Even if Song Yueyi shines again, in my heart, she is not even one bit as good as you." Xie Jinling pinched her pretty nose and laughed softly: "Now give me She chose the right color just for the sake of her natal family. Don’t worry, even if I get married to her in the future, I will not touch her. My Xie Jingling’s wife can only be you Ruan Ying. Just wait a moment Be patient."
Ruan Ying nodded heavily.
The two of them were affectionate for a while longer. Regardless of Ruan Ying's gasping for breath, Xie Jingling remembered something and pushed her away and asked: "Ah Ying, do you still remember the fire land I brought back to you from Balu?" fragrant?"
"Of course I remember." Ruan Ying was startled, "Why did brother Ling suddenly mention this?"
"I remember you said that because I have cold symptoms, you asked me to find some fragrant pills to make them, which can be used to suppress some cold symptoms."
"That's right. Fireground incense is difficult to find and difficult to mix, and it is extremely difficult to successfully mix it. I mixed this fragrance very carefully, and specially made it into fragrant pills for my brother to use when the cold is about to attack."
"Did Ah Ying only make one?"
"Of course I only made one."
Xie Jingling said half-jokingly: "Is Aying planning to give another one to another lover because of its unique fragrance?"
Ruan Ying said angrily, "What can Brother Ling say? In my heart, I can only pretend to be Brother Ling."
"I'm kidding you." Xie Jingling said, taking out a dark blue purse from his arms, "Ah Ying, look at it, but this?"
Ruan Ying took it, looked through it, and said proudly: "Of course, the lotus flowers and bats I embroidered, as well as the unique fragrance, were all created by me and no one else can imitate them."
As he said that, he took off the silver sachet with embroidered bird patterns hanging on his waist and replaced it with a fugiri pouch. "The weather is getting colder, so it is most suitable for my brother to wear it every day."
"Okay, Ah Ying is always so attentive." Xie Jinling smiled, holding another purse that he often wore in his clenched palms, but there was no smile in his eyes.
…
"Hu Jin, you should also know the fourth master's methods. My people can only hold people away for half a stick of incense. If you tell me the truth, I can ask the fourth master to let you go home, although I can't Working as a doctor in the Xie family and losing this income is better than not being able to save your life, right?"
Song Yueyi stood in front of Dr. Hu who was huddled in the corner of the woodshed and said slowly.
Doctor Hu looked frightened, "I'm afraid I won't survive if I tell you."
"It seems that Doctor Hu hasn't figured out what happened." Song Yueyi said slowly: "That purse is a woman's thing that the fourth master values extremely. You took that thing, which is like a humiliation to the fourth master. What do you think? , with Fourth Master’s temperament, will he let you go? If you die, what will happen to your wife, children, and parents? Who will take care of them? "
Doctor Hu gritted his teeth.
Song Yueyi said calmly: "I'm going to die. If you don't believe me for once, as long as you tell me the true condition of my body, you can bet that I will plead with Fourth Master to let you go."
Doctor Hu was obviously moved, but still hesitant because of his fear of Xie Jingling.
