Logically speaking, there are differences between men and women, and Qi Liang is a stranger, so he should not enter the house. However, Mrs. Lu now loves Zhang Shou and his son, who is the most beloved, is well taken care of by Zhang Shou and has a good reputation. Therefore, even though Qi Liang is just Zhang Shou's student, she treats him differently. She lowers the gauze curtain in front of the bed and asks Mother Jin to invite him directly into the house.
The reason why Qi Liang went to report to Zhang Shou but arrived only a little later than Lu Sanlang was because Ah Liu drove the carriage to take a shortcut. As for the gift, it was a few nourishing herbs that Zhao Guogong Mansion had just sent to Zhang Shou. Before Zhang Shou had even reviewed it, Ah Liu took the initiative to let Qi Liang bring it over.
At this moment, the young man, who was almost thrown off balance in the speeding carriage, walked into the inner room with a shaky step. Seeing Lu Sanlang looking at him with a smile, he knew that Mrs. Lu should be fine and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After paying respects and saying a few polite words, Qi Liang conveyed Zhang Shou's greetings, but he also said, "Teacher said that filial piety is the most important thing. Since Madam is not in good health, Junior Brother Lu might as well stay at home and accompany Madam for a few days. There is no need to rush to the Imperial College."
Lu Sanlang was actually quite worried about his mother, but what his father had just said when he came back really pissed him off, so he hesitated for a moment, and without saying anything good or bad, he asked directly, "Brother Qi, now that you're out, who's going to take care of you in Jiuzhang Hall?"
Qi Liang was stunned when he heard this. In fact, he and Lu Sanlang had managed Jiuzhang Hall together before. Now that Lu Sanlang had asked for leave to go home to visit his mother, he was sent by Zhang Shou to visit the patient. Jiuzhang Hall was indeed empty! Although the students gradually got used to the environment, it was fine for them to attend classes on weekdays. Now that the project lacked an organizer, would this precious time be wasted
He couldn't help sweating on his forehead, but he still managed a smile and said, "I'll go back after seeing the madam. A little time won't matter."
"How can it not be a big deal!" Lu Sanlang suddenly raised his voice, "People are just thinking about making fun of the young master and the Jiuzhangtang. At this critical moment, we should face the challenge head-on and not give others a chance!"
Mrs. Lu looked at the different Lu Sanlang through the gauze curtain, and she couldn't help but feel relieved and proud. She said, "Xiao Qi, Sanlang is right. Since Dr. Zhang is in need of help, Sanlang should do his best. My illness is not serious. I just need to rest for a few days. You can take Sanlang back."
Without waiting for Qi Liang to dissuade her, she said without question: "As long as Sanlang can help Dr. Zhang solve this problem, it will be better than any lip service or bedside care! You know, I used to dream of him having a bright future!"
Madam Lu rushed to say all the things that could be said, and since the Shangshu's wife's voice was okay, it seemed that there was nothing wrong, Qi Liang naturally looked at Lu Sanlang. Sure enough, he immediately saw the person smiling at him.
"Listen, my mother has said so, what else can I say?" Lu Sanlang turned around and bowed deeply to his mother at the bedside, saying word by word, "Mom, don't worry! I don't care about such a small problem! Please take care of yourself. I will not return until I have solved the problem in Jiuzhang Hall!"
