Xie Tingyue thought about it seriously for a long time, then shook her head.
It is true that he has never met Chu Mu, but he did in his previous life... But who can have a 'previous life' like him
He felt that he might have drunk a little too much, otherwise why would he think about it and feel that the atmosphere is getting more and more ambiguous? Alcohol is easy to drink, so you shouldn't drink too much.
In short, he couldn't understand the man in front of him.
But this does not affect his decision. The other party treats him well, out of sincerity, without malice, and really helps him, so he should repay.
Take good care of him in the future.
"My brother said that the classmate named He is from the He family?"
Just as he was thinking, Chu Mu's clear voice reached his ears.
younger brother
Xie Tingyue felt that these two words came out of Chu Mu's mouth, and they were too close, making people feel a little shy for no reason, but he quickly shook his mind and smiled: "It should be, it's just children who are awkward, you don't need to worry about it. "
"I have heard that this He family is a businessman from the Northland, and they recognized the Mu family as their godfather—" Chu Mu looked at Xie Tingyue, "The Mu family is an imperial merchant, you must know that?"
Xie Tingyue nodded.
Not only did he know that the Mu family was the Shang emperor, but he also knew that the Mu family was the re-elected Shang emperor. He had great business skills and connections.
Chu Mu: "The He family's property is not small, and many things in the house are in cooperation with their shops. You should be careful when dealing with it. And—"
His voice stopped, Xie Tingyue was a little curious: "And what?"
Chu Mu paused for a moment, then said softly: "The He family and the Qi family have some quarrels. They have been feuding for many years. It's not just a business fight, it seems to be a death feud."
Xie Tingyue: "What death feud?"
"Such a private matter—" Chu Mu thought for a while, "It's better for the Qi family to discuss it themselves. Haven't you met Qi Wenhai recently?"
"Um."
Xie Tingyue knew what the other party was reminding her of, and she praised Chu Mu for his gentlemanly demeanor, not talking behind his back. The enmity between Qihe's family... It's hard to say.
Counting how many cups he drank, he took the wine cup in front of Chu Mu: "Let's go here, drinking too much will hurt your health, and it will be uncomfortable when you're drunk."
Chu Mu seemed surprised at his boldness, and smiled, "I'll never get drunk."
Xie Tingyue blinked: "But I will get drunk. If I drink too much, it's not me who takes care of you, but you who take care of me."
His hands and feet were quick, and he moved the cup very quickly. As a patient, Chu Mu couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. In the end, he could only sigh and watch him clean up with a smile.
After tidying up everything, Xie Tingyue didn't feel very well, he seemed really a little drunk... He didn't want to trouble others, so he went to bed obediently.
After an unknown amount of time, a figure walked to the side of the bed, sat down, gently stretched out his hand, and touched his forehead.
"Those past... I hope you will think about it, but I don't want you to think about it."
"With me, you can be a little more presumptuous."
…
At night, Xie Tingyue woke up suddenly.
Chu Mu is sick!
His head was covered in cold sweat, his teeth were clenched, his lips were black and blue, his whole body was shaking, his eyes were tightly closed, he was unconscious, and he didn't groan, but it was obvious that he was suffering!
Xie Tingyue immediately got out of bed and lit up the candle: "Come here!"
He was so anxious that he didn't even put on his shoes, so he touched Chu Mu's forehead, it was very cold! Touch it again, it's also very cold!
Chu Mu was still shaking, death is impossible, but this temperature is too scary, not at all like what a living person should have!
It's cold
Xie Tingyue pulled her quilt over and covered Chu Mu together.
Chu Mu seemed to feel a little better, his brows loosened slightly, but after a while, he started shaking again!
not enough!
The tea on the table is cold and cannot be fed, the time is too short, the servants have not come yet, so I don't know what medicine to give, this is the first time Xie Tingyue has encountered this situation, she doesn't know what to do, she can only hold Chu Chu tightly Mu's hand: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll find medicine for you right away..."
Hearing the sound outside, he stood up anxiously, but Chu Mu held his hand tightly, unable to move.
Seemingly unconscious, trying to grab the only source of warmth and also the most important thing in life, Chu Mu refused to let go.
Xie Tingyue couldn't bear his suffering, so she didn't rush to drag him out, and anxiously waited for the servants to come in.
Time is stretched infinitely at this moment.
It was the first time Xie Tingyue saw Chu Mu who was ill. She didn't have much fear, or she didn't have time to be afraid. What came rushing up was only anxiety and distress.
This person has always been very calm, not gloomy, not depressed, not hurting the spring and the autumn, always making people ignore the fact that he is sick, but others can forget and ignore, he shouldn't.
Xie Tingyue once added a warning from the bottom of her heart: This is a terminally ill person who may die at any time!
Must be taken care of!
The servants quickly entered the house.
There was Chu Mu's long follower, Qin Ping, and a maid named Ginkgo.
The two were quite nimble in their hands and feet. Qin Ping quickly stuffed a brown pill into Chu Mu's mouth, rubbed his face with strong wine, and Ginkgo poured a bowl of thick hot ginger soup to Chu Mu, which seemed to have become a habit.
There was a little girl who was not smart, and when she came in to add charcoal, her hands shook and she fell to the ground. Ginkgo frowned, and was feeding medicine again...
Xie Tingyue took the bowl in her hand: "I'll do it."
Ginkgo obediently gave the medicine bowl, and turned to deal with other matters.
Xie Tingyue's hand was very steady, she didn't move at all, and the action of feeding the soup was very gentle, not a single drop fell out.
Qin Ping was watching from the side, his eyes gradually changed: "Thank you Madam."
Xie Tingyue didn't look at him, but still frowned: "Is this all right?"
Qin Ping: "It's best to have a bowl of century-old ginseng soup, but we've run out of ginseng in the house."
"Then go get it!"
Xie Tingyue didn't think this was a problem. Chu Mu was the eldest son of the Chu family, with an unusual status. As long as he was not dead, no one would dare to belittle him. What happened when he got up at night and went into a warehouse to get ginseng? Even rare century-old ginseng!
Unexpectedly, Ginkgo ran around and didn't bring it back.
Xie Tingyue narrowed her eyes: "What's going on?"
Ginkgo's eyes were red, and she was very angry: "The storehouse said that if there is no note, it will not be taken. It is the same for anyone who comes! The maid said that the young master is very ill, and she begged for all kinds of hardships. She vowed to make up the note tomorrow morning, but they still refused. …”
Xie Tingyue's heartstrings tightened, forcing herself to be quiet.
has a problem.
He knows the little maid Ginkgo in front of him, and he also knows Qin Ping. One is the servant girl in the house, and the other is the long follower. The former may not be quick-witted, but he is quick and loyal, while the latter... only listens to Chu Mu's words. , Never make up your own mind, you will definitely not do anything that Chu Mu didn't order.
These two people were people Chu Mu trusted.
why? Because Xie Tingyue discovered that Chu Mu was in poor health and needed someone to be close to him at any time, but only when these two people were close to him would he occasionally close his eyes and suppress his smile.
Closing his eyes and suppressing his smile, this is the state that Chu Mu only has when he is very relaxed.
Of course, there is one more person like this now, and that is himself.
So in front of these two people, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly.
"What else?" He looked at Ginkgo.
Ginkgo's head drooped slightly, as if he was ashamed that he hadn't brought the medicine back: "They said that the ginseng that has been used for a hundred years is different, it is precious, and the account of the Zhongfu account has not been handed over, so you can leave for small things. This kind of thing can't work, there must be an approval note to leave Procedure, this is the rule."
Xie Tingyue squinted her eyes: "I'm the one who is married to my uncle, and the second aunt personally handed over the right card, can't I?"
Gingko shook her head: "They only read the note, and if they don't have it, they won't give it..."
The facts are very clear, this is a villain who deliberately stuck him here!
Xie Tingyue knew that he was new here, and he needed to be a director, which would affect the interests of many people. There would always be people who felt uncomfortable and would not cooperate. Someone must have jumped out on Mei Yan's matter, but I didn't expect that people couldn't wait for Mei Yan at all, and they couldn't wait to step on him!
But if you want to make a fuss, it doesn't matter if you fight with me, let's get to the bottom of it and see who is more capable and skilled, so why stop Chu Mu! This is a life!
Xie Tingyue's eyes were cold: "Has the news spread?"
Ginkgo: "The old lady has been in poor health recently, so I dare not disturb her; the eldest lady caught a cold yesterday, and Mama Tan did not say anything on her own initiative, and asked someone to send some things over, but she did not participate; the second lady handed in the feedback, I rest very early every day, and at night no one will open the door... "
Xie Tingyue sneered twice after listening, and suddenly turned to Qin Ping: "You are the person who has been with Chu Mu the longest, I just ask you, is his life in danger?"
Qin Ping cupped his hands and looked solemnly: "Mrs., the master is used to this disease. It is indeed dangerous, but the master has a strong temper. He can survive every time and never let the people around him down. I can assure you."
Xie Tingyue: "Centenary ginseng really helps?"
Qin Ping nodded, and his voice was firm: "Yes."
Xie Tingyue turned her eyes to Chu Mu who was on the bed.
In his previous life, the marriage failed, and he suffered a great loss, and Chu Mu didn't get well either. He fainted on the spot, suffered a serious illness, and stayed in bed for more than two months. He would get better after the new year, but there is no doubt that Chu Mu did not die. .
He won't die at this point in time.
"His illness...does it happen often?"
Qin Ping: "Master is used to it."
Chu Mu is used to it, and the people who serve him are also used to it.
The words are very flat, but very worrying.
Get used to sickness, get used to pain, who likes such a habit for normal people? How uncomfortable it is, every time...
The eldest son of the Chu family was born noble, wise, talented, and a gentleman. He was supposed to be a dazzling existence, but because of his illness, he suffered pain and was ridiculed a lot outside. At home, his father didn't love his mother...
very good.
Xie Tingyue laughed angrily, you don't love him, don't take him seriously, I'll come!
I will show you!
Xie Tingyue pondered for a moment, and made a decision in her heart. She turned around immediately, the corner of her clothes slid through a sharp arc, and her aura was so strong: "Qin Ping stay here, Ginkgo, come here, come with me!"
Gingko was stunned: "Madam wants to—"
"Grab ginseng!"
Xie Tingyue walked out quickly holding the corner of her robe.
Gingko immediately picked up a pair of shoes from the ground: "Wait, madam, you are still barefoot!"
Xie Tingyue: ...
"oh."
All the way to the door of the warehouse, the person in charge of medicinal materials stood behind Madam Huang, evasive, Mama Huang comforted her, and saluted the aggressive Xie Tingyue who came up aggressively: "I have seen the young lady. What happened here The old slave has heard it all, it is not the old slave who excused her, the most important thing for us servants to do is to abide by the rules. Although the young lady has the middle reward and the right card, but before the accounts are settled, the small things will be ignored, and the big things will be ignored. There is no direct right to execute orders, you must go through the process, there is no approval, and things like century-old ginseng cannot be given casually."
