In the early morning, after the ugly time, Su Tan'er woke up.
When I opened my eyes, the light was yellowish, and it was still a silent night outside the window, but I could not feel the peace. There were all kinds of discomfort, restlessness, and unease in my mind and body, but for a while, I couldn't grasp the uncomfortable direction. Why suffer? Many broken images passed through my mind, there was no way forward and there were chasing soldiers, and some things were collapsing... In such a chaotic feeling, the voices of family members came.
"Miss is awake."
This is Xiaochan's voice, and she can react immediately without thinking and identification. She closed her eyes and recalled with difficulty for a while. When she tried to get up, Xiaochan pulled the quilt and pressed her down. The little girl didn't use much strength, mainly because she didn't have much strength, and in her eyes, the eyes she saw were red.
"When is it?" she asked, her voice hoarse, it didn't sound like it was hers.
"The ugly time is almost over."
"Don't get up, miss..."
"I'm going to hot medicine..."
The voices in her ears included Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er, but Liheng was the one who told the time. He stayed here as well, but her mind was still uncomfortable, but her heart was a little warm. She recalled the past. The thing: "Treasurer Liao they..."
"Miss, don't think about these things, okay..." Juan'er by the bed choked out. Su Tan'er shook her head apologetically and said weakly, "No way..."
"Manager Liao and the others have gone back to rest." Ning Yi's voice sounded next to him, and then he whispered to Chan'erjuan'er, "I'll tell her, you go out and help Xing'er first."
The two maids nodded and went out, and went to the next room to decoct medicine. When it was quiet, Su Tan'er's eyesight and spirit condensed a little. The man who was her husband wore that blue robe as usual in the daytime, moved a stool and sat down and looked at her. His demeanor was similar to that of chatting on the second floor on weekdays. He tilted his head casually, with some bookish indifference and calmness. Although the young man's appearance did not appear to be very mature and prudent, this was indeed what she had thought in her mind. The talent looks like.
His talent and learning are more powerful than many others, but he is not ostentatious. His inner deepness and quietness actually have great power. In the past, Su Tan'er never thought much about this aspect. It is reasonable to say that the first talent should always give people a very powerful feeling, but at home, including her, Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er didn't seem to feel too deeply in this regard, from beginning to end. They communicated easily and naturally. Others may feel proud when they talk about it, but they are shocked when they suddenly know, but... They seem to have only seen this person from beginning to end. If you look at it from a distance, what others see is the aperture of the first talent, but people who look up close seem to only see this simple person.
But I don't know why, seeing him at this time, I suddenly remembered the halo of the first genius. He also stayed at night until now and has not rested. Even if it is said that it is his husband, he still affects him after all. After all, the husband is a scholar and should not be involved in these business affairs, but now... She then He smiled apologetically, and when he wanted to speak, Ning Yi handed it over with a piece of cake in his hand.
Like the feeling of chatting on the second floor, Su Tan'er almost subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but she didn't have the strength in her hand. Gululu took a sip of tea and swallowed it, the man's expression was indifferent.
"I can eat these things, but you can't, you can only drink medicine."
I wanted to laugh, and then this surge of emotions brought a burst of dizziness and fatigue, and I felt a little helpless: this person, why are you making her laugh.
Then she heard Ning Yi say, "Then... there are things I want to talk to you about."
"Huh?" The weak woman on the bed opened her eyes wearily again.
********************
The charcoal fire started, and the medicinal energy began to rise in the tile urn. The three maids stood by the side, occasionally turning to look at the wall next to them, and there were actually worries in their eyes.
Xiaochan was a little better, but Juaner and Xing'er were worried. The young lady finally woke up, but she still had a high fever. This long night was just the beginning. When the young lady fell ill, things in the big room became difficult. They all grew up with the young lady. Knowing the painstaking efforts and the price that the young lady paid, she would never give up. I wonder if the uncle could convince the young lady. But even if you persuade the lady, what about the big room? Let the young lady watch the blood flow away
"... What did the uncle tell us to do just now?"
"can not understand… "
"The place where my uncle does experiments is like that..."
"But what's the use of it..."
"do not know… "
While decocting the medicine, the three maids talked to each other about their doubts. Previously, Ning Yi asked them to draw some grids horizontally and vertically on the rice paper with ink lines, and then took the ledger from three years ago and began to mark something on it. Some are the names of places and shops of the Su family, and more are eccentric and crooked symbols, such as a simple vertical, a circle, a half circle, etc., which are completely incomprehensible. Thinking about it, I called the three of them over twice, and asked what was the reason for the problem of income and expenditure, and then marked it on the side of the symbol.
Uncle wants to know the situation of the Su family, but what can this be done? No one can figure it out. Over the past year, the uncle has given them the feeling that they are very kind and profound, but after all, they are not involved in business affairs. At this time, the entire Su family felt a crisis. So many shopkeepers and managers who have been in business for decades are busy. After all, my uncle is a scholar. Even if he wants to help, I am afraid it is just a crammed bookish attack, which is not very useful - Shuye There are specializations, for sure.
"Uncle, he..." Xiaochan, who is closest to Ning Yi, lowered her head and said, "Uncle, he is very powerful..."
She used to know that Ning Yi was very powerful. Since she had a skin-to-skin relationship with Ning Yi, this feeling was naturally stronger, but there was a limit to that. In the past, she wanted to ask her uncle to help the young lady to share some things, mainly because of the closeness between the uncle and the young lady. Someone helped the young lady to share the burden. Of course, the young lady would be happier if she felt this way. But the uncle is definitely not able to replace the young lady in business. Even in Xiaochan's heart, the uncle is much better than the average person. This is already very powerful, but to say that the uncle is better than everyone. How is that possible, Xiaochan is also impossible to think so.
"We also know that the uncle is very powerful and smart, but he can't be as good as writing poetry in everything..." Juan'er whispered.
"Uncle promised to have a solution, and won't lie." At this moment, Xiaochan could only stubbornly believe this, and Xing'er next to him stared at the charcoal fire in silence for a long time, and finally reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"I know the temper of the young lady, but this time, as long as the uncle can convince the young lady to take a good rest, then it will be fine." Perhaps it was because there was something in his heart. This night, Myolie, who is usually the strongest on weekdays, shed tears many times. The voice choked, "As long as the young lady is good, even if she can't become the head of the house, the young lady will still be the young lady, the uncle will still be the uncle, and we will still be together... As long as this is the case, that's fine... "
Her emotions infected Juan'er and Chan'er next to her, and then the sad gray shrouded over again. When Juan'er choked up, Chan'er whispered beside her, "Young master will do something..."
"Yeah." Xing'er and Juan'er nodded, but probably no one really believed it.
As long as the young lady can be fine, it will be the best. As for the rest, you can only let the rest of the family work hard, the old lady, the shopkeeper Liao, the shopkeeper Xi, the second master, the third master... There is always someone in such a big family. can withstand...
*****************
When the maids went to decoct the medicine, the oil lamp was still flickering in the bedroom. Ning Yi sat in front of the bed, took a sip of tea, and slowly told Dr. Sun's diagnosis.
"It's not just the wind chill, it's not just the wind chill, you know it yourself. I know you're feeling very hard right now, but you can't calm down, you can't solve the problem, you can't feel at ease, if you can't feel at ease, you can't solve the problem even more, and it's about to become a dead end. ... I know you're annoying me when I'm nagging like this..."
He paused for a while, Su Tan'er shook his head slightly, and then spoke, his voice was as soft as a wisp of smoke that would be broken in the wind at any time: "Xiang Gong, I understand... But how can I let it go... "He looked a little sad.
"It's up to you whether you let it go or not." Ning Yi put his palm on her forehead, "You can't discuss too much now, so I'll explain briefly, I just finished reading the pictures of the big house three years ago. this account."
"Huh?" Su Tan'er was a little confused.
"I just finished reading the accounts of the big house three years ago." Ning Yi looked at her quietly and repeated, "Father-in-law is not out of danger yet, so are you. Grandpa may consider sending someone to take over, but you I won't, but from now on, you can't get out of bed, everything is in front of you, so I'll help you next, Chan'er, Juan'er, and Xing'er are also here, but there are some things, only I can come forward on your behalf , this is the only way..."
"I know all the questions, but there is no need to talk too much now. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, when you are more awake, let's talk slowly. I also want to talk to you. But now, there are only a few points: we know each other. It's been more than a year, and now I want you to know one thing, what I said can be done, I can do it, I am very serious about this, and I will help you do it for the current matter..."
Su Tan'er held his hand and shook her head with difficulty, showing a smile that was about to burst into tears: "Xianggong, this matter... you don't know..."
Ning Yi stopped her from shaking her head, approached slightly, and looked at her: "No, I know the nature of these things, I know this before I say this, and I want you to know this too. Do you believe it? Me, it depends on what you think of my character and our friendship, but for the time being you can remember what I said, this is the most important thing..."
"Then, in the past few days, the discussion will be in your room. You can listen to it in bed, watch it, and think about it. It doesn't matter. Any decision you make, I will tell you the reason, you nod your head, and we will send it out. I know you won't let it go, it's impossible to leave you aside, so I won't leave you alone, I'll only reduce the process of your thinking, you only need to consider whether what I said makes sense... Is this okay?"
Su Tan'er closed her eyes, and after a long while, a tear fell from the corner of her eyes, and Ning Yi slowed down her words.
"When the accident happened in the Su family, there was no action yet. You have to prepare to drink medicine now, think less about things, just remember that I have said that, I said it will be resolved, and it will be resolved. Then get a good night's sleep. , at least temporarily relax your heart, nothing will happen at home, because I'm here. Huh?"
Su Tan'er closed her eyes and nodded.
"Okay, we've settled."
Ning Yi went back and took a sip of tea. After a while, Su Tan'er opened her eyes from there: "Xiang Gong, I'm much better..."
"You guys don't have any persuasive power to do business." Ning Yi pouted and shook his head in disbelief.
Su Tan'er smiled slightly, and her mind was dizzy again.
Afterwards, Xing’er, Juan’er, and Chan’er came in with the medicine bowl, and helped her to finish drinking the medicine. After a few people watched with concern, they finally fell into a deep sleep, and when they were about to sleep, they said something: “Xiang Gong is also going. rest… "
"understood."
I woke up once in the middle, the sky was slightly brighter, Xiao Chan was sitting on the chair next to her and dozing off. The figure was still sitting at the table in front of the window, not knowing what she was writing. She closed her eyes and fell asleep again, perhaps because of the back, this time, her heart seemed to be calmer...
