The colder the weather, the thicker the snow, and the closer to Yancheng.
There were more carriages on the official road than on the roads. Looking around, the city was right in front of us, presenting a prosperous scene. It was hard to tell that it had just experienced the baptism of war a month ago.
When they arrived at the mansion in Yancheng, General Yan was not there. He said that he had been waiting for him for a long time and he had gone into the mountains to hunt and soak in the hot springs with some of his old subordinates.
General Yan's legs and feet are not good. He was injured on the battlefield and now relies on crutches for daily walking. With such a body, going into the mountains in this season is simply ridiculous. Yan Gui was angry, but he was still worried. He just hurriedly arranged for Wei Yang to be handed over to Madam Sun in the mansion and rode up the mountain.
Mother Sun is Yan Gui's wet nurse, and is deeply trusted by Yan Gui and General Yan. After Madam Yan passed away, Mother Sun was basically in charge of the affairs in the backyard.
This is what Ding Wu told Wei Yang.
Madam Sun ordered the servants to remove the door threshold and led Wei Yang's carriage all the way to the backyard. Yancheng Wei Yang's yard was prepared by Yan Gui a long time ago, and it was bigger and more comfortable than the one in Tuocheng.
Mother Sun had heard a lot of rumors about this girl whom she had never met. Now that she hadn't even met her, she had to serve her, which made her feel a little unhappy.
Perhaps she caught a cold on the road, Weiyang felt weak all over when she got off the car. With the help of Konggu and Youlan, she went into the room and fell into the soft quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
Behind the three people, Xiaocao, holding the girl's puppy, followed them into the room. The four people and the dog did not even thank Grandma Sun who led the way, let alone show the proper etiquette.
Weiyang was ill and could not care about these empty formalities. Mother Sun was just a servant. Konggu and Youlan did not understand. They did not understand, and Xiaocao did not understand even more.
Mother Sun, who was standing in the outer room, waited and waited. Everyone in the room was busy with Wei Yang, dressing her up, changing her clothes, and sorting out the clothes she brought. She had no time to be insincerely polite with her.
In the evening, Yan Gui picked up General Yan and listened to what Madam Sun said for a while. He got up and prepared to go to General Yan's room for dinner, when he suddenly heard Madam Sun say something extra: "I have heated up the meal for the young lady three times, but the maid from the young lady's side has not come over to tell her to set the table."
Yan Gui was stunned: "Miss, haven't you eaten yet?"
"Maybe you're not hungry." Mother Sun said coldly.
"How could that be? She hardly had any lunch today. I'll go and take a look." Yan Gui stood up and walked towards the Weiyang Courtyard.
Mother Sun behind him looked at Yan Gui's figure. The light shone on her face, half clear and half blurry, and there was an uncertain expression in her eyes.
Konggu and Youlan didn't know where they went. Xiaocao was sitting on a small stool outside and dozing off. When he heard footsteps, he looked up in panic and saw that it was Yan Gui. He quickly stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "The girl is still sleeping. General, you can't go in."
Yan Gui was a little impatient, frowned and asked, "Did the girl have dinner?"
Xiao Cao shook her head: "No, the girl went to bed as soon as she came back."
"Has the girl ever gotten up?" Yan Gui asked again.
Xiaocao still shook her head. Yan Gui's face changed and he walked in without caring about anything else.
The pink curtains were opened, and the big bed was covered with pink bedding. Yan Gui had ordered people to decorate the room in Yancheng early on, but he didn't expect it to be decorated like this, and he couldn't help but pause.
In the pink quilt, the girl's long black hair was loose, her brows were furrowed, her face was flushed, and her eyes were closed.
When I got closer, I found that Weiyang's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and it was obvious that she was sick.
