Not long after, Xu Yuanjiao came back with a child in her arms. The child looked to be about one year old. It was fat and white, like a glutinous rice dumpling, very cute.
Hua Ling's eyes widened when he saw the child, and he wanted to hug him, but he was too embarrassed to say so.
Xu Yuanjiao said, "The young masters are rude, where are the young masters living now?"
Qu Liushang said the name of the inn.
Xu Yuanjiao said again, "Since my uncle still needs to give acupuncture every day, how about a few young masters living in the mansion?"
This was exactly what Yan Shi wanted, so he only pretended to evade a few words and agreed.
Xu Yuanjiao ordered his servants to prepare a room for Yan Shi and the others. Hua Ling couldn't help looking at the child and asked, "Is this Master Zheng's son? How old is he?"
Xu Yuanjiao smiled, "Yun'er was born last year and just passed her first birthday."
Hua Ling happily said, "So his name is Yun'er." After speaking, he waved his hands to tease the young master.
Yan Shi suddenly said, "I heard that Mr. Zheng still has a son. I wonder if he is in the mansion?"
Xu Yuanjiao turned the young master upside down, "Master, do you mean cousin? Cousin went out to study more than a year ago and has not returned yet."
Yan Shi nodded and said, "Master Zheng is so seriously ill, why didn't Eldest Young Master come back?"
Xu Yuanjiao sighed, "I have sent someone to look for it, but I don't know where my cousin has gone, and news has come in until now." There was quite a bit of resentment in his words.
Yan Shi didn't say anything more, and they talked about Zheng Lin's condition for a while, when a servant came in with boiled medicine.
"Give me the medicine." Xu Yuanjiao half-lifted Zheng Lin from the bed, stuffed a pillow behind him, and then sat on the edge of the bed, feeding him the medicine spoon by spoon, and occasionally wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief. The medicine stains that come down.
After Zheng Lin took the medicine, nothing happened, now he only needs to take the medicine on time, and then he will be cured once a day with injections. Xu Yuanjiao let them relax in the mansion, and she went out with the young master in her arms.
Yan Shi and Hua Ling returned to the room, and a servant came to serve tea. Yan Shi pretended to be casual and said, "Miss Biao is really smart and capable, but I don't know if there is a marriage. I know a young man who is very good, and he hasn't married a wife yet."
The servant girl said, "Miss Biao is not married, and you need to ask the master and wife about such a big matter. But now the master is sick, and the wife is shutting up in the Buddhist hall."
Yan Shi is handsome and handsome, and her gestures are full of dignity. This little maid is not very old, and she has never seen such a person in ordinary times. Knowing that she will serve Yan Shi these few days, she is really proud among other maids , received much envy. Maids like them will be casually betrothed by their masters when they reach their age. No one wants to be a servant for the rest of their lives, now that they saw Yan Shi, they thought that it would be great if they could leave the house with him, so they were happy to show courteousness in front of him and talk to him more.
Hua Ling saw the maid's eyes staring at Yan Shi's body, and her stomach was full of anger, so she could only stand aside and pretend not to see, trying her best to play the role of a drug boy.
Yan Shi glanced at the little concubine who was pouting quite high, smiled and shook his head, and said to the maid, "Madam is really dedicated to Buddha, she must be very kind."
The servant girl shook her head, "I don't know, to be honest, I haven't seen my wife since I entered the mansion."
"Oh?" Yan Shi picked up the cup and blew, "Is the girl new to the house?"
Hua Ling saw that Yan Shi was about to put down the teacup, and hurriedly reached out to catch the teacup in his hand, and put it on the table again, to increase his sense of presence.
The servant girl glanced at Hua Ling, she didn't take it seriously, she was just a good-looking drug boy. The servant girl said again, "It's been just a year since I entered the mansion. Before I entered the mansion, my wife had been staying in the Buddhist hall all day long. Moreover, it's not just me, except for a few old people in this mansion, the servants all came out a year ago." Enter the mansion."
Yan Shi said again, "Madam worships the Buddha all day long, so the young master has always been taken care of by Miss Biao? Miss Biao is really virtuous."
The maid also echoed, "I heard from some old people in the mansion that Miss Biao has lived in this mansion since she was a child."
grown up. Now the master is seriously ill, the wife is unable to pay respects to the Buddha, and the young master is out of school again. Everyone in the house is counting on Miss Biao, and she is really hardworking as a woman. "
"At what age did Miss Biao enter the mansion?" Yan Shi asked.
The servant girl shook her head, "I don't know. What I know is from the mouths of a few old people, and I don't know anything else."
Yan Shi saw that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he said a few more words to her and sent her away.
After confirming that the maid closed the door and walked away, Yan Shi took the little princess's hand, pulled him in front of him, and pinched his little face, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
"No." He said no, but the pout became higher and higher.
"Still said no." Yan Shi squeezed his mouth together, "Why is this mouth so high? Was it stung by a bee? Which bee doesn't sleep in the winter and comes to trouble my princess? .”
Hua Ling couldn't hold back her snort anymore, and then put on a stern face, "Brother, that servant girl sees that you don't have good intentions."
Yan Shi smiled and said, "What is she thinking about our affairs? You just need to remember that my thoughts about you will not change."
Hua Ling was delighted by what was said, and sat by the side with a smile and talked with Yan Shi.
The servants brought the lunch, and Yan Shi ate it with Qu Liushang. At night, some servants came to invite them, saying that Madam wanted to invite them to dinner.
That's not bad, Yan Shi was planning to think of a way to meet this lady, but she came to call them herself.
Yan Shi followed the servants to a room, and the bowls and chopsticks had already been placed in the middle of the room.
Mrs. Zheng saw people coming, she nodded slightly and said some polite words. Although this Mrs. Zheng is a young lady, she still has a charming charm, showing her demeanor with her gestures and gestures.
Yan Shi was sitting at the table, and Hua Ling was about to sit down, when he suddenly remembered his identity, so he had to stand aside sullenly. Yan Shi said, "My drug boy has been spoiled by me since he was a child, and he can't go hungry. I wonder if Madam can give him some food first?" The big family pays attention to the fact that the master and servant cannot sit at the same table, so it's fine if Yan Shi prepares the meal , but Yan Shi's status as a guest at this time is the only thing he can fight for Hua Ling.
Mrs. Zheng smiled, "I was negligent." She ordered her maid to take Hua Ling to another room, and prepared some food for him alone.
