Xia Qianqian shook her head firmly: "I am the future porcelain master of Xuan Country, I don't want to be your maid."
"Very good." Gu Changsheng nodded in appreciation. "If one day someone promises you a higher salary, I hope you can keep your current attitude."
"Of course! I'm not afraid of being torn to pieces as long as I can keep my innocence in this world!" Xia Qianqian's heroic and confident look made Gu Changsheng love and hate her.
You have come all the way to the ancient times, but it still cannot dampen your spirit. You seem to be getting more courageous with every setback. Do you really want to stay in the ancient times forever
"Ahem..."
Perhaps he had caught a cold, Gu Changsheng started coughing again.
Xia Qianqian hurriedly handed him the water and stuffed the hand warmer into his arms: "Why are you coughing again? Drink some hot water to warm yourself up. I'll give you the hand warmer too."
Gu Changsheng drank some water and slowly stopped coughing. An abnormal blush appeared on his originally pale face.
Xia Qianqian was extremely worried.
"Don't worry, I won't die yet." Gu Changsheng comforted.
"I know this. You haven't married yet, and you haven't given birth to a son yet, so you won't die." Xia Qianqian frowned, "But it's so uncomfortable to be sick like this, let's find a doctor first!"
"If it can't be cured, don't bother."
Gu Changsheng waved his hand and closed his eyes to rest.
Xia Qianqian didn't know what to do for him, so she could only continue to play the role of a maid, asking about his well-being and serving him tea and water.
Qingtong finally began to like her better.
…
The cold wind howled, and the thin sunlight shone on the earth. There were no more robbers along the way. Although Gu Changsheng was tired, he did not dare to sleep, and he managed to reach Xining County.
Entering the county government, Xia Qianqian witnessed the prosperity of ancient times for the first time.
Most of the houses in the county government were tile-roofed and spacious. The streets were wide and clean. Although it was already evening, many shops were still open, and there were mobile vendors on both sides of the road, shouting and calling for business.
Xia Qianqian simply got out of the car and sat on the floor to admire the prosperity of the county government.
"It's really lively, much more lively than Pingning Town." Xia Qianqian exclaimed, her eyes moving around smartly, "When can I move to the county town?"
Qing Tong rolled her eyes at Xia Qianqian, thinking: Oh, you are a little girl from a small mountain village, it's good enough for you to go to the town often, and you want to move to the county government? Our young master doesn't have such a dream.
"Qingtong, stop the car for a moment. I'm going to buy some candied haws." Xia Qianqian excitedly pointed at the old man selling candied haws on the roadside.
It seems that candied haws are a standard feature in costume dramas, and she must try what they taste like.
Qing Tong stopped the car, and Xia Qianqian quickly jumped out to buy three candied haws, giving one to Qing Tong: "Here, I'll treat you."
Qing Tong was stunned for a moment, took the candied haws, and said hesitantly: "Thank you..."
Xia Qianqian lifted the car curtain and handed a candied haws to the passenger: "Gu Changsheng, I'll treat you to candied haws."
But the person inside didn't answer.
Xia Qianqian curiously poked her head in, only to see Gu Changsheng sleeping in the corner. She quickly retracted her hand and lowered the curtain. She looked at the candied haws in her hand again, which no longer had any appeal: "Qingtong, what is wrong with your young master?"
"I don't know either. I've consulted many doctors, but no one can cure me." Qing Tong felt very uncomfortable and bit a candied haws hard.
"Why not go to another place for treatment?" Xia Qianqian asked.
"The young master doesn't want to." Qing Tong sighed, "Our young master is very stubborn. Even if Madam threatens to die, it's useless. He wants to stay in Pingning Town."
