Behind Qin Yuru, Di Yan tilted his head slightly and looked Qi Rongzhi up and down, with a gentle smile on his face.
He came a little late and saw Qin Yuru unceremoniously pulling down Qi Rongzhi's hand. Qi Rongzhi looked aggrieved, with red eyes and a bit of timidity. His eyes really looked like his cousin's. , couldn't help but hurried over and asked.
"Cousin!" Qin Yuru turned around and saw Di Yan, and shouted displeased.
"Prince!" Qi Rongghi was secretly happy in his heart, but his eyes became more and more aggrieved. After bowing sideways, he wiped the corners of his eyes deliberately, as if wiping away tears, but showing a trace of smile, which fell into Di Yan's eyes and made him smile forcefully.
Qin Wanru also called out politely: "Cousin!"
After that, she stepped aside. The three people present were all in her eyes. Di Yan had pity in his eyes, Qi Rongghi had a evasive look of grievance, and Qin Yuru had unconcealable anger in her eyes.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, his long eyelashes fluttered twice, and he continued to stand politely, as if he didn't see the undercurrent between them!
She had just arrived in the capital, and she still had a lot of things to do. She really didn't have time to act with Di, and she had no idea of letting Di torture her to get some kind of illness.
"Cousin Yuru, what's wrong?" Di Yan reluctantly took his eyes away from Qi Ronzhi, and turned to Qin Yuru to ask.
I once again admired Jiangzhou for its beauties. Not only was her cousin Qin Yuru a beauty, but even the daughter of the prefect of Qi was also a beauty. Both of them had their own merits, including beautiful spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums. They were both extremely beautiful. As for Qin Wanru, although she was outstanding, she was still beautiful. She is a little too young, and at first glance it is difficult to mistake her for an adult girl.
So compared to Qi Rongghi, Qin Wanru is not that attractive!
"Miss Qi must have said that she wanted to come to take care of her mother. It's really ridiculous!" Qin Yuru said impatiently. She just happened to see Di Yan's eyes falling on Qi Rongzhi, reluctant to leave! How annoying!
"Miss Qi wants to take care of her aunt, why?" Di Yan finally found a legitimate opportunity to talk to Qi Ronzhi, looked up at Qi Ronzhi and asked.
"It was my father and mother who asked me to go to Beijing for Mrs. Di and General Qin. They also told me time and again that the two families are well connected. After I came to Beijing, I should treat Mrs. Di and General Qin as my own relatives and treat them as filial parents. I usually treat them with filial piety, but now that Mrs. Di is sick, I have to come and take care of her, otherwise I will be really uneasy!"
Qi Ronzhi said softly.
Di Yan nodded, and the admiration in his eyes became more and more obvious. He was a kind person. Although he came from a small place in Jiangzhou, his courtesy was not bad at all, even better than that of ordinary ladies from aristocratic families. Better.
"That's the case, then..." Di Yan said, since we are here, let's go in together. It is also a good thing to have one more person to serve the sick. Qin Wanru, a young person who knows how to serve the sick, is not as reliable as Qi Rongzhi who looks more reliable.
"Cousin, mother has to make the decision on this matter!" Qin Yuru saw that Di Yan actually meant to agree, and hurriedly stopped her.
Being interrupted by Qin Yuru, Di Yan was a little unhappy, but he didn't take it too seriously. It was really up to Di to make a decision on this matter: "Let's go in together first. It's a wind outlet here and it's very cold. Cousin They are all so thin and weak, how can they bear it!"
Although Qin Yuru made the decision here, Di Yan still took the decision to bring the person into the house. It was indeed cold where he stood on the porch, and he felt like trembling after standing there for a while.
Today is a cloudy day. Although it didn't rain, it was very cold.
After Di Yan finished speaking, he turned around and entered Di's outhouse. Seeing Di Yan enter, Qin Yuru had no choice but to ask Qin Yuru and Qi Rongzhi to follow her. Originally, her mother had deliberately let Qin Wanru blow the wind here.
When they got to the back room, a woman hurried over and saw several people coming up to greet them with smiles: "Your Majesty, the eldest lady, the second lady, Miss Qi, our lady has already gotten up and is taking medicine now, you can go in!" "
Several people followed the woman around the screen and went into the inner room. Mrs. Di was taking medicine. A little girl was kneeling on one knee in front of the bed, holding a bowl of medicine in her hand and feeding her carefully. Mrs. Di had a prick on her head. He was lying half-lying on a piece of white cloth with a haggard look, a thick cushion behind him, and a strong smell of medicine in the room.
Qin Wanru took a sniff and realized that Di's appearance was indeed not as good as what he saw. She only used some ordinary wound medicine, and the dosage was not large. The smell was just a bit stronger, but it seemed to have been deliberately mixed. The smell is a bit stronger, and I feel it clearly in my heart.
In this strong smell of medicine, Qin Wanru smelled another vague and strange smell. Her long eyelashes paused and fluttered twice more.
His eyes then fell on the little girl kneeling on one knee in front of the bed. The very small girl was about the same height as herself. There were many older maids and mothers in the room, but no one came up to take over. It was obvious that This little girl was struggling, her face was tense and her knees were shaking slightly.
There is a feeling of exhaustion!
So all of this was prepared in advance!
After everyone came forward to salute, Qin Yuru stepped forward to take the medicine bowl from the maid's hand, intending to feed Di Shi herself.
But she was grabbed by Aunt Zhou: "Oh, my eldest lady, your height is not suitable. Even if I feel uncomfortable kneeling for a while, I can't even feed the lady's mouth. This height is too high! "
"But... to take care of my mother's illness, shouldn't I give her medicine myself?" Qin Yuru said tangledly, as if she sincerely wanted to give medicine to Di.
Qin Wanru lowered his head slightly, as if he didn't see Qin Yuru's glance, and she looked dumb. For such a small maid, she was the only one who could deal with it at this time. It seemed that these were Di and Qin Yuru. The so-called "disease" prepared for myself!
"The eldest lady is too tall!" Grandma Zhou shook her head and said helplessly, "It would be better if she were shorter. She can just scoop the medicine to Madam's mouth!"
"I can't stretch my hand straight, otherwise it's best to drink by yourself. I'd rather ask you all to come and take care of me! I'm afraid this little maid can't bear it, and I'll have to trouble you all!" Di Shi said at the right moment. He said with a wry smile. His face without makeup looked old and a bit tired. Qin Wanru knew that this was not just because of the injury. Di's life now is not as good as it was in Jiangzhou, when everything went wrong. The easiest way to make people look older.
After hearing what she said, almost everyone looked at Qin Wanru. After all, Qin Wanru was the only one present who was suitable. If not her, who else would be the one to go.
Di Shi actually wanted to force her to humiliate herself. First, she forced her to kneel down, and then what? Did you accidentally spill the medicine on your face or body
Qin Wanru sneered in her heart, raised her head, with a pair of watery eyes showing a bit of icy coldness, her eyes fell on Di, and then a smile slowly appeared on her face: "Madam, since the eldest sister is not suitable, it is better to Come on, we can’t let the prince help give medicine here, although I heard that the princes in the capital can practice horse steps, and even squatting can be done for a long time!"
After she said this, she took a few steps forward to get the medicine bowl.
Di Yan was a little embarrassed. His horse steps were not good. He only fished for three days and dried the nets for two days. It would be nice to have a flower stand. There was no way he could squat down and give medicine to Di.
"Second Miss, let me do it!" Qi Rongzhi saw Di Yan's expression, rolled his eyes, and suddenly pulled Qin Wanru.
She felt that standing up at this time would relieve Di Yan's embarrassment, and he would definitely have a better impression of her. She was originally here just for Di Yan, so how could she miss such a great opportunity to show off!
"This... isn't good!" Qin Wanru looked at her awkwardly, then looked at Di Yan aside.
"What's wrong with this? I came to serve you sincerely. How can I still dislike it? Even if I grow a little taller, I can kneel lower. As long as I have this sincerity, I will definitely do it." It can be done!”
Qi Ronzhi said, took two steps forward, grabbed the medicine bowl from the little maid's hand, and was about to kneel down.
"Hurry, hold Miss Qi!" Di Shi also reacted at this time and shouted urgently. It would be unreasonable for Qi Rongzhi to kneel down and serve her like this.
Originally, Qi Mansion was just holding on to what happened before. If there were one more thing, they would be even more vulnerable to those in Qi Mansion.
Aunt Zhou was also a quick-reacting person. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab Qi Rongzhi and kept shouting "I can't do it, I can't do it"!
"Miss Qi, let me do it! Sister, help me get the medicine bowl quickly." Qin Wanru blinked her big eyes twice, and stepped forward. She stretched out her hand as if she wanted to take Grandma Zhou and Qi Rongzhi to hold it together. medicine bowl.
Hearing what she said, Qin Yuru had no choice but to step forward and reach out to grab it.
Several people just bumped into each other. I don't know who bumped into it, or whose hand slipped and missed the grasp. The bowl of medicine that seemed to be still steaming was poured onto Di's body. .
Di was lying on the bed, unable to avoid it. She saw the bowl of medicine being poured over, and she hurriedly reached out to block it. She only heard "ouch", "clang" and "ah!"...
There was a jumble of sounds.
The medicine hit Di's body. Fortunately, most of it was splashed on the bed, and only a small part of it splashed on Di's hands. But even so, it burned her and made her scream. She didn't have any good intentions in the first place. He wanted to splash Qin Wanru's blood, so he specially ordered someone to make it hotter, but he didn't expect that it actually splashed on him.
The fingers are connected to the heart, it hurts so much!
The empty bowl fell off the bed and hit the ground. It broke into several pieces, and some pieces even splashed. Qi Rongzhi was the first to bear the brunt. His wrist was scratched by a piece of debris. He immediately screamed in pain and sat on the ground. Aunt Zhou fell Falling beside the bed, his foot was also injured by a piece of porcelain. Qin Wanru was lying behind Qi Ronzhi, pressing her other hand in pain. Another piece of porcelain fell beside her foot, which seemed to be injured as well.
Only Qin Yuru came late and was the last one to arrive. At this time, the maid pulled her to stand still, but when she saw the messy scene in front of her, she was also dumbfounded!
