Reception room.
Qin Wen Zheng was sitting in a chair having morning tea.
His brows were furrowed and his expression was serious, as if he had something very heavy on his mind.
When the young man in Confucian robe appeared at the door, his brows suddenly relaxed and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Luo Qingzhou entered the hall, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Father-in-law."
Qin Wenzheng put down his teacup, looked at his face and body carefully, and nodded secretly: This boy is gentle and elegant, calm and reserved, full of talent and elegant. No wonder even Wei Mo was impressed by him and kept talking about him. No one in the mansion slandered him behind his back.
He spoke in a gentle voice, "Qingzhou, from what happened yesterday, we can see that although you have been studying in your room all day, you are very smart and intelligent, and you are not comparable to those pedantic scholars. You also know that your elder brother and second brother are not interested in the family business, and your wife and sister-in-law never leave the house. So I want to hand over the family business to you to manage, what do you think?"
After a pause, he continued, "Of course, I won't disturb you from studying. I will let your second uncle and third uncle help you. Whenever you have time, you can go and have a look and give them some advice. In the future, most of our Qin Mansion's properties can be inherited by you and Jian...your wife. Qingzhou, you can consider it."
After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou declined politely: "Thank you for your trust, father-in-law, but I am not interested in these things, nor do I have the energy to manage them. I am now concentrating on studying. As for the Qin Mansion's assets, I will not take them. I have enough food, clothing and shelter here, and I dare not ask for too much."
Qin Wenzheng looked at him and continued to persuade him: "Qingzhou, no matter you become an official or do anything else in the future, you will need industry support. My request is very simple, as long as you treat my daughter and my Qin family well, you can use everything in the Qin family at will. What I said today is not to test you, it is all sincere, you can think about it carefully."
Luo Qingzhou looked up at him and suddenly heard him say in his heart: Damn, I don't want to do this kind of exhausting work for a day. I calculate all day long, I worry all day long, I work day and night, I am tired like a stupid cow, I don't even have time to go out for a drink. I'd better throw it to the boy, and tire him to death, and see if he still has time and energy to abuse my daughter and the maids in the mansion!
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Qingzhou, the assets of my Qin Mansion are not much less than those of the Chengguo Mansion. If you are willing, you will be in charge of the Qin family's affairs in the future. In the future, you can participate in the Mocheng Chamber of Commerce and various family meetings with the identity of the head of the Qin family. By then, you will be on an equal footing with Luo Yannian of the Chengguo Mansion. Wouldn't it be great!"
Qin Wen Zheng continued to seduce.
Luo Qingzhou bowed his head and said respectfully: "Thank you for your trust, father-in-law, but I still say that I really have no interest in these things. And I don't have any experience in industrial management. I just want to study now, so please ask father-in-law to find someone else."
Only a fool would fall for your trick!
Seeing his firm attitude, Qin Wenzheng was silent for a while, and could only sigh: "Okay, since you really don't want to, then forget it, I won't force you anymore. I will hand over the position of the head of the family to your second uncle. After you finish the autumn exam next year and your second brother's exam, we will take Wei Mo to Kyoto for treatment. If you have nothing to do by then, come with us."
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and did not answer immediately.
Who can say for sure what will happen next year
If he can get his revenge, then make a decision.
Qin Wenzheng frowned again and said, "By the way, Qingzhou, the princess sent someone to take Wei Mo away this morning. It seems to be because of the story last night. Do you think Wei Mo will be in trouble?"
Luo Qingzhou said respectfully: "Don't worry, father-in-law, the second young lady is smart and will be fine."
Qin Wenzheng heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this and said, "Okay, I won't waste your time. Go back to study."
"Qingzhou bids farewell."
Luo Qingzhou retreated.
Then, he hurried to Lingchan Moon Palace.
Just now Bailing said that Xia Chan suddenly fainted when she came back in the morning. She was in a hurry to come here and Butler Zhou was waiting, so he didn't ask much and didn't know what happened to the girl.
He had to go and see it quickly.
When he arrived at Lingchan Moon Palace, Bailing was carrying a basin of hot water from the kitchen and preparing to enter the house. When she saw him, she frowned and shouted, "Oh, son-in-law, come quickly. I can't carry it anymore. It's too heavy."
Luo Qingzhou walked over to help her hold it and asked, "How is Miss Xia Chan? What happened?"
Bailing took him into the house and said, "Chanchan is sick. Her forehead is hot and her body is also hot. It may be related to being too tired these days."
Then she begged at the door: "Uncle, can you help me take care of Chanchan? I still have to go look after the young lady."
Luo Qingzhou frowned: "I'm a man, it's not very convenient. How about I go and call Xiaodie over?"
Bailing shook her head quickly and said, "No, sir. No one except you can come in here, otherwise the young lady will be angry. The young lady was angry when I brought Xiaodie here that night."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Why?"
Bai Ling whispered, "Miss doesn't like the smell of other people."
Then he pushed open the door and said, "Son-in-law, come in quickly. Help Chanchan wipe her forehead, neck, and body with a hot towel."
Luo Qingzhou: “???”
Bai Ling giggled: "Son-in-law, I'm just kidding. Just wipe your forehead and neck, don't touch other places."
After saying that, she pushed him in and waved her hand, "Uncle, you have to take good care of Chanchan. I'm going to go look after the young lady."
"Bang!"
The door closed behind him.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the basin and walked to the bed.
The curtains in the room were drawn and the light was very dim.
The cold girl lay on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, with only her flushed little face and somewhat messy black long hair exposed.
Her eyes were open blankly, and she was staring blankly at the curtain above her head. Only when she saw him come in did she look at him.
Luo Qingzhou wrung out the towel in the basin, walked to the bed and said, "Bai Ling has to go look after the eldest lady, so let me take care of you. I'll help you wipe your forehead and neck, okay?"
The girl stared at him blankly, as if she had been burned silly. She didn't speak, and didn't move.
Luo Qingzhou did not hesitate any longer. He placed the towel on her forehead and wiped it gently for a while. Then he moved it down and wiped her neck. He comforted her softly, "It's okay. It's just a fever. You must have been tired these past few nights. You will be fine after a day of rest."
Luo Qingzhou went to the basin and rubbed a towel, then came over and sat on the stool beside the bed, saying: "Would you please wipe your hands and arms as well? This will help you dissipate the heat and you won't feel too uncomfortable."
The girl still stared at him blankly without saying anything.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her a few more times, reached into the quilt, took one of her little hands out, wiped her sleeve, and began to wipe it gently with a towel.
After wiping this one, wipe the other one.
After a while, he started wiping from his forehead and neck.
The girl just stared at him blankly from beginning to end, without saying a word or moving, and she looked so docile and weak that it was heartbreaking.
"In fact, when you have a fever, you can't cover yourself with too thick a blanket, as it will dissipate the heat."
Luo Qingzhou put down the towel, took off the quilt on her body and put it inside, covering her with only a thin layer of quilt.
"Xia Chan, if you feel cold, just tell me. When you have a fever, sometimes you feel hot and sometimes you feel cold."
"Close your eyes and have a good rest. Maybe you will be fine when you wake up."
"By the way, did Bailing make the medicine for you? Did you call a doctor to come and see?"
Luo Qingzhou talked to himself for a while, then prepared to get up and go find Bailing to ask.
At this time, the girl on the bed finally spoke: "No... I don't want to take it, the medicine... is bitter..."
Luo Qingzhou reached out and touched her forehead again. It was still burning hot. He said, "If you don't take the medicine, the fever will go away very slowly. Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. Just close your eyes and drink it. Miss Xia Chan is not afraid of killing people, so why are you afraid of taking medicine?"
The girl stared at him blankly and whispered, "Afraid..."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then gently advised: "Xia Chan, don't go to plant flowers at night anymore. If you really have to go, go during the day. The temperature is low at night, the yin energy is heavy, and you have a cold body, so it's easy to get sick."
The girl was silent for a while, and whispered: "I... my body is not cold..."
Luo Qingzhou reached out and held her little hand, then put her little hand on his face and said, "Look, you should be able to feel it yourself, my face is hot, and your hand is cold. Your body is usually cold all the time, don't you notice?"
When his soul left his body that night, he could clearly see that the girl's whole body was covered with ice crystals. Even the air around her was covered with ice crystals. How could it not be icy
And as long as she gets close to Miss Qin Er, Miss Qin Er can feel it clearly.
There seemed to be a hint of panic in the girl's eyes. She slowly turned her back and faced the inside, still whispering stubbornly: "No, not ice..."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything more, and advised: "Anyway, don't plant flowers at night in the future, it's not good for your health. I heard from Bailing that although your swordsmanship is powerful, you have never practiced martial arts. Your physique is very weak, otherwise you wouldn't have been sneezing and shivering when you were caught in the rain that night. Xia Chan, there is no need to be brave or avoid this kind of thing. I'm not laughing at you when I say this, I just care about you. As for making money, wait until you get better. And, to be honest, you really don't need to work so hard to make money. If you need money, I can give it to you."
After a pause, he continued, "Of course, I don't have much money now. But I will be able to make money soon, and then I can give you a lot. What do you think?"
The girl turned her back to him, looking inside, and was silent for a long time before she whispered, "No... I don't want yours... I, I can earn it myself..."
She doesn't want to be a gigolo and let him support her.
He is obviously a son-in-law.
A son-in-law is a gigolo.
She would work hard to earn money so that he could live off her... gigolo forever.
at the same time.
In the small palace next to the city lord's mansion.
Nangong Huoyue was wearing a red dress and was kneeling with her long legs in front of the eucalyptus table, watching the other two rounds of stories brought by Miss Qin Er attentively.
When he saw the last three heroes fighting Lu Bu, he couldn't help but say, "This Lu Fengxian is such a hero, but it's a pity that he didn't meet a wise leader and ended up with those losers. What a pity."
Then he sighed again: "But with his personality, even Cao Mengde might not be able to control him."
Miss Qin, dressed in a plain white dress, knelt down beside him and said softly, "It's a pity that he didn't meet the eldest princess. If he was under the eldest princess's command, the three-surnamed slave incident would not have happened. The eldest princess only needs to use a little trick, and he will be convinced and work for her."
When Nangong Huoyue saw the last line of small words, "To know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter," she paused and felt a little annoyed. However, after hearing what she said, she turned around and looked at her and smiled, "Miss Qin Er doesn't look like someone who would flatter others."
Qin Weimo lowered her head and said softly, "From childhood to adulthood, I have never flattered anyone. Therefore, what I just said was the truth. With the princess's intelligence and ability, it would be easy for her to subdue Lu Fengxian."
Nangong Huoyue smiled, picked up the rice paper in her hand, looked at her and said, "The story is indeed wonderful, but it is too short. Miss Qin Er, remember to write a few more rounds after you go back. Of course, health is the most important. How about three days?"
Qin Weimo said respectfully: "I will do my best."
Nangong Huoyue stared at her pale and beautiful face for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, I have a way to relieve Miss Qin's condition. But... I'm afraid Miss Qin is unwilling."
Qin Weimo's heart moved, and he lowered his head and said, "Princess, can you tell me about it?"
Nangong Huoyue's eyes flashed, and she said, "Dual cultivation."
