"County Lord, what should we do now?" Steward Shengtai sneaked up to the third floor like a thief, and after a hurried salute, he said anxiously, "The Marquis of Yichun is famous for being frail and sick since childhood. Although he has been sick since last year, At the end of the year, news came out in Chang'an that he had been rejuvenated by a magical hand and was already well. But the so-called illness came like a mountain and went away like a thread. He was not satisfied with this so-called good life after only half a year! Now he is in our house There's a heat on the boat... What should we do?"
Without waiting for Sheng Weiqiao's answer, Sheng Tai continued, "Originally, fishing was the request of the Marquis of Yichun. It was also his own doing to come up to you, the county lord, with the fish in his arms. Now something went wrong, and we really can't be blamed. . But everyone knows that Her Royal Highness Princess Wuyang is the only male heir of Marquis Yichun. If there is a misfortune, can Her Royal Highness Princess Wuyang not blame us?"
"What do you mean?" Sheng Weiqiao was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by Juli. After hurriedly washing up, he came out to see Shengtai. At this moment, his mind was still a little confused. Hearing this, he subconsciously asked, "Go back to Chang'an." still?"
Shengtai said: "The safest way is to immediately return to Chang'an and return the Marquis of Yichun to Her Royal Highness Princess Wuyang! Otherwise, for the sake of safety, we should at least stop the ship and find a wealthy family nearby to borrow a more exquisite villa. Let the Marquis of Yichun take good care of himself and make a complete recovery before starting his journey again!"
Sheng Weiqiao frowned, because either of these two methods would delay the trip.
Although Feng's delivery date is still two months away, and she still has plenty of time to travel, it was okay when she was in Chang'an. After all, Mrs. Sheng and other relatives were by her side. She had already left Chang'an at the other end of the voyage. Nanfeng County is my hometown, and I am somewhat familiar with it after living in Chang'an for more than half a year.
The place where the ship was at this moment was an unfamiliar place. How could she calm down and stay for a long time
Especially after Sheng Weiqiao heard what Li Shengxu said about the Zhao family's grandson's daughter-in-law going to Gaomi Palace to ask for an explanation, she was really scared to return to Chang'an.
but…
After all, Li Shengxu had a history of being frail and sickly. Even if he just had a normal fever now and it wasn't very dangerous, it would be really worrying to just let him rush to the roadside for treatment.
"Let's do this. Tomorrow we will find a convenient place for him to recuperate and park the boat ashore, waiting for him to recuperate." Sheng Weiqiao thought for a moment and said, "If he will be fine within a few days, we will ask him what he wants. , and then decide whether to continue on the journey. If he can't recover within a few days, then leave a group of people to accompany him back to Chang'an by land, and we will continue southward ourselves! Anyway, it's not very far from Chang'an."
Shengtai whispered: "County Master, even if the Marquis recovers from his fever soon, but...he has traveled a long way to Nanfeng County, and he has to come back again. It's not just a small talk to curse the noble man, but this Can your body and bones really withstand such a torment?"
Sheng Weiqiao knew that he said this because he was afraid of getting into trouble, because if something happened to Li Shengxu on the Sheng family's boat, the Sheng family would have to give an explanation to Princess Wuyang, and then the Sheng family would definitely be reluctant to hand over Sheng Weiqiao. , then the manager Shengtai must be the unlucky one.
"Didn't Her Royal Highness the Princess send a disciple from the Taiyuan Hospital on board?" Sheng Weiqiao actually felt that if he wanted to save trouble, it would be best to send Li Shengxu away, so that he would have the least to worry about.
But after thinking about it for a while, I finally felt that it was embarrassing to do so, so I hesitated and said, "How about we ask the doctor for his opinion? If he says that the Marquis of Yichun is not suitable for traveling long distances, can we persuade the Marquis of Yichun to return to Chang'an?"
The matter was settled like this. Because they were worried about Li Shengxu's condition, Sheng Weiqiao's master and servant didn't sleep well that night.
As soon as it dawned the next day, she hurriedly got up to see how this man was doing.
I didn't want to go too early. Li Shengxu hadn't woken up yet. The boy who was waiting for him came out and whispered to Sheng Weiqiao: "The fever has subsided just now. The boy wiped himself and changed his clothes. Now he is still here." He's asleep. The doctor said everything is fine, and the County Master is concerned about me!"
Even after hearing what the boy said, Sheng Weiqiao still felt uneasy and specially sent two boys to help him, asking them to report to him immediately after Li Shengxu woke up.
I went to ask the doctor again, and after getting a lot of assurances from the doctor, I returned to my cabin with a heavy heart.
Li Shengxu woke up just before noon. After hearing the news, Sheng Weiqiao almost ran downstairs.
"How is the fish?" What made her almost laugh out loud was that after this guy woke up, the first thing he said was in a weak voice, "You can eat it, but leave the main bones to me..." After I return to Chang'an, I plan to show it to everyone!"
"How long have you been thinking about your fish?" When he saw her coming in, the boy who had been smart moved an embroidered stool to the side of the couch. Sheng Weiqiao sat down and said, "If Her Highness Princess Wuyang knew what you were doing, That fish is injured and hot, I just don’t want to see it at all!”
Li Shengxu hummed, "Wouldn't it be fine if I didn't tell my mother?"
Then he continued to ask, "How is that fish? Have you cooked it? You must have eaten all of it, right? I caught it after all, so you really didn't leave a piece of fish meat for me?"
Sheng Weiqiao didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and called his servant: "Make him a bowl of fish porridge... The doctor is here? Can you look at him now?"
The result of the doctor's diagnosis was that Li Shengxu was fine and could return to normal after a long rest. However, the trauma on the back of his hand was estimated to take ten and a half days to fully heal.
Sheng Weiqiao suggested that he go outside to talk and asked quietly: "Do you think he can continue walking?"
"Don't worry, Lord, the Marquis is fine." The doctor understood what she meant and nodded, "Don't worry too much. If the Marquis's body cannot bear the long journey, first of all, the eldest princess will It’s impossible to let him go, don’t you think?”
Sheng Weiqiao was right after thinking about it, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will continue to trouble you to nurse him back to health. If you need anything, just tell Shengtai!"
After sending the doctor away, Sheng Weiqiao suddenly remembered that he had never seen Rong Suihe, and couldn't help frowning secretly, so he knocked on the door of his cabin. When the door opened, he saw that although it couldn't be said to be dark inside, it was still dark. Seven or eight burly men also gathered, all with solemn expressions. They surrounded Rong Suihe in front of the desk and seemed to be arguing fiercely about something.
Sensing that the door was open, they all looked over... Sheng Weiqiao silently reached out and pulled the door shut.
But just when she turned around and planned to go back to her room, Rong Suihe chased after her alone and said with a smile: "My dear girl, are you looking for me? What's the matter?"
"It's nothing." Sheng Weiqiao stretched his head and looked around. When he saw that they were all his own servants and no one from Li Shengxu, he whispered, "It's just that the Marquis of Yichun was injured yesterday and got sick again tonight. Hot, I just woke up now, why don’t you go and take a look? How can I say that he is also your cousin? "
Rong Suihe smiled and said: "My dear girl, what you said is too unfair to me. After he was injured yesterday, I not only went to see him, but also gave him a bottle of good medicine. As for now? , you have also seen that I am receiving a pigeon letter with urgent news, and I am discussing it with the people below! When the discussion is completed, of course I will go and take a look. "
When Sheng Weiqiao heard that he had received a pigeon letter with important news, he immediately thought of his grandfather's previous cry and couldn't help but ask: "What important news is it? Can you tell me?"
"Of course." Rong Suihe said gently, "But dear girl, what benefits can you give me?"
Sheng Weiqiao immediately rolled his eyes at him: "I don't want to know anymore!!!"
In the past, she might have tried to use force to extract a confession, but after experiencing this guy's shamelessness the night before yesterday, the girl felt that it would be better not to be too cruel to him in the future.
Otherwise, he could take off his clothes if they disagree with each other when they are alone together. Who knows if one day he will take it a step further and take off his clothes if he disagrees with others in front of others
After all, he used shameless tricks that normal people would never even think of, but he used them confidently and quoted classics!
How can you expect such a person to have integrity
So Sheng Weiqiao would rather stifle his curiosity now!
Even when she turned to leave, she was still worried that Rong Shuihe would catch up and force her to continue to be curious, or else he would strip off for her on the stairs...
So much so that after the girl returned to her room in three steps and two steps at a time, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
Seeing her leaving so happily, Rong Suihe could not help but guess what she was thinking. He couldn't help but smile, shook his head, and then turned back to the cabin.
Although Li Shengxu's fever subsided quickly and his energy recovered very quickly, for the sake of safety, Shengtai asked Sheng Weiqiao for advice and ordered the ship to slow down its journey and strive to move forward at a stable speed.
In this way, sailing in the river took twice as long as normal.
Sheng Weiqiao had certainly walked this road when he came, but it was the twelfth lunar month of winter and the scene was different from now. Nowadays, the season is just right, and the vegetation along the way is lush, and mountain flowers are in bloom from time to time, with continuous weeds. Therefore, although Sheng Weiqiao and Li Shengxu, two people who rarely travel far, feel that the space for activities on the boat is a bit small, they still fight and enjoy the fresh food every day. The river fresh food caught is also very interesting.
But for Rong Suihe and his party, it was quite boring.
So we finally arrived at the mouth of the sea. After changing to a sea ship, we went to sea for half a day the day before. After gradually entering the deep sea, the group of people who had been discussing with Rong Suihe in his cabin took off their tooth-colored coats and jumped in together. The sea was splashing with water, and from time to time there was a roaring sound, which seemed to be venting the depression of being stuck in the river for half a month.
Sheng Weiqiao and Li Shengxu, who were sitting in the shade of the deck bickering, heard the commotion and ran to the side of the ship to watch the excitement. They saw that they were all as nimble as fish in the water. While they were having fun, they followed the boat easily. The speed is amazing.
Li Shengxu was previously restricted by his body, and his hobbies that he could develop were very limited. Now that he has recovered, he wants to get involved in anything fun he sees. Now he is eager to ask, "Shall we go down and play too?"
He was so frightened that the boy quickly grabbed his sleeve and said with a pale face: "Master Hou, please calm down! Those people in the sea are all good at swimming, and they have made it clear that they are proficient in water, so they can play in the sea, but you don't know how to play in the sea. I don’t know how to swim!”
Sheng Weiqiao was also stunned by his courage to commit suicide. He pointed at him and said, "Just calm down! Otherwise, believe it or not, I will ask someone to pull you back to the cabin?!"
Unexpectedly, Rong Suihe, who was wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt, walked out of the cabin at this time. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "My dear girl, what are you doing with Shengxu? You can also practice water-based control. If he doesn't know it, he can learn it!"
Li Shengxu immediately cast a look at him that said, "It's better to be my cousin." Sheng Weiqiao pulled him to a place some distance away from Li Shengxu's master and servant in Juli with a stern face, and asked him warily: "Don't you want to do anything to him?" Poisonous hand, right?!"
