Chapter 1059 Liu'er Is Sick
The rain fell slowly, like countless fine needles, scattered in every corner. Gradually, the rain strung together like pearls to form a big bead curtain, covering everything like a cloud of smoke.
Zao Zao looked at everything covered by the rain and fog, and said depressedly: "It's raining again?" It was the fourth rain since the departure from Pick City.
Yu Xi said: "It rains four times in half a month, that's not too much." Except for the time when it rained heavily when we set off, these few times it rained continuously. Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and now the crops are in need of water, more water is better! .
There was a coughing sound from the room, Yuxi and Zaozao heard the sound and entered the room.
"Cough, cough..." Liu'er coughed until her face turned red.
Yuxi walked over and patted her on the back gently. When Liu'er stopped coughing, Yu Xi said to Zao Zao: "Go and see if the millet porridge is ready?" It rained the night before yesterday, and it was relatively cold. And Zao Zao kicked the quilts of both of them to the ground. Zao Zao's health was not affected, but Liu'er caught the cold. I woke up yesterday feeling groggy. Seeing this, Yuxi ordered to rest for a day, but unexpectedly developed a fever in the afternoon.
Zao Zao rushed out like an arrow, and soon brought the millet porridge into the house.
After finishing the porridge, Liu'er said with great shame: "Mother, I'm sorry, because I delayed the schedule." She didn't expect her body to be so useless and fall ill so easily.
After hearing this, Zao Zao felt extremely guilty: "If you want to blame it, blame me, I kicked the quilt." At first, the mother and daughter slept together, but then Yu Xi was kicked by Zao Zao, which hurt so much She can't, she doesn't want to sleep with Zao Zao anymore. At that time, Yuxi also asked Liu'er not to sleep with Zao Zao, but Liu'er himself refused.
"It's just a cold infection, just take a few doses of medicine." After finishing speaking, Yu Xi touched Liu'er's head and said softly: "It's a day or two late, nothing can be delayed."
These words obviously meant that Yuxi had to leave before Liu'er recovered from her illness. Zao Zao immediately became anxious: "Mother, how can we leave Liu Er here alone!" When she is sick, she needs company the most. At this time, how could they leave Liu'er and leave!
Liu'er took Zaozao's hand and said: "You can't delay the business because of me." Although Liu'er was born prematurely, she recovered later. In these years, I seldom get sick. But it was also because of this that the illness came so fiercely this time.
Zaozao held Liu'er's hand, and said to Yuxi: "The business is important, but my sister is also important. Mother, if you want to go, you go, anyway, I won't go."
Yuxi said angrily: "I didn't intend to let you go with me." Let Liu'er stay alone in this unfamiliar place, how can she rest assured.
Zao Zao touched his head in embarrassment.
Yu Xi glared at Zao Zao: "It seems that you are the only one who loves Liu'er, and I, a mother, don't know how to love her?" This girl thought she was steady! When something happens, he is still impatient. As the old saying goes, Jiangnan is easy to change and hard to change his nature!
Liu'er helped Zaozao to speak: "Mother, the eldest sister is also anxious because of my illness, so don't blame her." The main reason is that Liuer gets sick because of Zaozao. She felt guilty, so she became a little impatient.
Seeing this, Yuxi stopped blaming Zaozao: "Liuer, mother is leaving tomorrow. If you feel uncomfortable, just tell Tong Fang." Yuxi can't rest assured about Zaozao's carefree temper. Tong Fang is steady, careful and knowledgeable about medicine, and she can be at ease only with Yuxi.
Liu'er was unwilling: "Mother, you can't leave Aunt Tong Fang by your side. I just have a cold, and I'll be fine soon."
"There is still a long way to go, I can't rest assured that I only leave you sisters." Seeing that Liu'er wanted to say more, Yu Xi said: "Okay, this matter is decided like this."
Liu'er remained silent. What her mother decided, even her father couldn't change it.
When Liu'er woke up the next day, the sun was already high. Leaning against the head of the bed, Liu'er asked Zao Zao: "Sister, is mother gone?"
Zaozao nodded and said: "Leave at dawn. Liu'er, mother has too many things to delay, so don't think too much!" I also know that Liu'er is very sensitive and thoughtful, so Zaozao said this.
With this tone, those who didn't know thought she was ignorant! With a black thread on her hair, Liu'er said, "Sister, Mother is leaving because she is busy with business, how can I be so ignorant."
Liu'er used to be very delicate, but after going through so many things, she has matured a long time ago.
Tong Fang came over with breakfast. Because Liu'er was sick, the breakfast was light.
Two quarters of an hour later, Doctor Bai took Liu'er's pulse, and then checked his eyes and nose: "I'll change the prescription, just take two patches of medicine and you'll be fine." Urgent, he couldn't take it anymore, so he offered to stay.
Liu'er felt relieved: "After recovering from the illness, can I go on my way?"
Dr. Bai shook his head and said: "Illness comes like a mountain, and it goes away like silk. After the illness is cured, I will have to take care of it for a few more days." It is also Liu'er who is young and recovers quickly. If you want to change to him, don't think about it in half a month, so it's good to be young!
Liu'er said something in a low voice, but the people beside her didn't hear what she said.
Seeing the emerald shrimp on the plate at night, Liu'er was very pleasantly surprised: "Sister, where did you get the shrimp?" The shrimp on this plate are quite big.
"Let the store owner buy it." It's not impossible for her to get it, it just takes a lot of work. The store owner is a local, so it is much more convenient to let him do it.
After eating one, Liu'er was very pleasantly surprised: "This skill is no less than that of Mama Bai." Mama Bai followed Yuxi away.
Zao Zao smiled and said, "Aunt Fang made this. But Auntie said, you can't eat too much." Tong Fang was interested in cooking, so she learned a few things from Mama Bai.
Liu'er was very surprised, and said: "I didn't know that Aunt Fang's cooking skills are so good."
"That's because there is Mama Bai doing it at home, so there is no room for her." In fact, at the beginning, Zao Zao was also very surprised.
Eight days later, Liu'er asked: "I'm all well, can't I go on the road?" She couldn't be more clear about her physical condition, and she was almost healed three days ago. Two days ago, they could leave for the capital. But Doctor Bai was stunned to ask her to take care of her for another two days, while Zao Zao was completely on Doctor Bai's side.
Seeing Liu'er's eager expression, Doctor Bai stroked his beard and said with a smile, "One more day of rest, and we can go on the road the day after tomorrow."
Liu'er looked at Zao Zao.
Zaozao finally let go: "Then I will make arrangements tomorrow, and we will leave early in the morning." Doctor Bai didn't say that he could leave, and Zaozao was determined not to agree to leave. She didn't dare to make fun of Liu'er's body.
The two sisters went outside and watched the willow branches swaying gently under the breeze.
Seeing that Liu'er hadn't spoken for a long time, Zao Zao asked, "What's the matter? Are you not happy? Liu'er, there is no delay in arriving in Beijing a few days later, but if the body is not well, then there will be serious troubles." She fell Why can you survive when you go down the cliff. It's not because of her good physical foundation. For someone else, let alone a month, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it for a day.
Liu'er smiled and explained: "Sister, mother should be arriving in the capital soon, right?"
"It's not that fast. Even if there is no delay on the way, it will take a few more days to arrive." She has walked this route several times, and she knows how long it will be.
Liu'er turned her head and said to Zao Zao: "Sister, why do I have a feeling, as if my mother has suffered a lot before."
Zao Zao looked at Liu'er puzzled, and said, "Mother has suffered a lot, you know that!"
Liu'er shook her head and said, "Sister, you don't understand what I mean. Although my great-grandmother and that person don't like my mother, my mother also grew up with rich clothes and good food. But you see, my mother gnawed on such an unpalatable pancake, not only frowning Not wrinkled, but still eating with relish." No matter how you look at it, it's abnormal.
Although Liu Er's words are very reasonable, Zao Zao's thinking is very different from others: "Why do you want to do so much? Even if my mother has suffered, it is the past. Always entangled in the past, how tiring!" You should forget the bad things, and think more about the things that make you happy, so that you can live happily.
Liu'er thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, you're right, eldest sister." After that, I didn't mention it again.
In the afternoon of the next day, Liu'er's future mother-in-law, Madam Feng Chang, arrived.
Liu'er was a little surprised. It was certain that Mrs. Feng would go to the capital, but she didn't expect the speed to be so fast.
Mrs. Chang just heard a servant say that Liu'er lived in the inn, so she thought she had made a mistake. Seeing Liu Er now, Chang hurriedly asked: "Second Princess, why are you still here?"
Liu Er smiled and said: "A few days ago, I caught a cold and developed a high fever, so I stayed in the inn to recuperate."
"What about the princess?" Hearing Yu Xi said to leave, Chang didn't know how she felt. The princess is really big-hearted that her daughter can leave her alone when she is sick. But it's not easy to say this in front of Liu'er.
Liu Er said with a smile: "My mother asked my eldest sister to stay with me. Auntie, why are you alone? Didn't you let your brother-in-law see you off?" Now that she hasn't married yet, she naturally calls Feng Zhiao her brother-in-law. When she gets married, she will go to the Feng family , then you have to call him big brother.
Chang smiled and said, "Let her stay with your cousin. By the way, your cousin is going to go to Beijing with the Cui family after the child is born."
"This road is too difficult to walk. It would be best to stay in Hao City to raise a baby." The road was so bumpy that she couldn't bear it, let alone her cousin who was pregnant. Besides, it's no joke if you get sick too.
It's so good to be at home, but it's so difficult to go out, Liu'er has realized it now. I think I was sick before, and I could eat anything I wanted, but now I can’t eat fish balls or mutton soup.
Liu'er has not really realized the difficulty of the journey. When she followed Yuxi, the doctor and the cook took her with her, and they had hot meals and dishes every morning and evening. Like Yunqing and Zaozao, they were in a hurry to go on their way, and they always ate dry food for several days.
Mrs. Chang didn't ask Liu'er's illness too much, she could tell from Liu'er's complexion that she was already recovering.
Zao Zao came back from the outside, saw Chang's smile and said: "Auntie, you caught up with us so quickly!"
"I only brought a few changes of clothes, and nothing else." It's better not to bring anything. I think back then when I traveled from Yucheng to Haocheng, I was so tired with big boxes and small boxes, and I was so tired. Now I bring some food and clothes, which is very comfortable.
Zao Zao said with a smile, "We'll be on the road tomorrow morning. Will you go with us, or stay for two days?"
Chang's body is very strong: "Come with you, there will be someone who talks on the road." Mainly Zao Zao and Liu Er followed the doctor and cook, and she happened to be lucky.
Zaozao readily agreed: "Auntie, why didn't you bring Guoguo?"
Chang said cheerfully: "This child, I can't bear to part with her mother! She will cry when she doesn't see her mother for a while."
Following Chang's on the same road, Liu'er was a little restrained at first. However, Chang's temperament is easy-going, she won't put on airs of an elder, and she took the initiative to tell Liu'er a lot about her past in Yucheng. When Liu'er let go, she even said a lot of embarrassing things about Feng Zhixi's childhood.
Liu'er couldn't stop laughing.
After passing Shijiazhuang, Yuxi asked: "Xu Zhen, how many days until I can reach the capital?" After all, she is getting older and her body is not as good as before. After driving for more than ten days, Yuxi felt that her bones were falling apart.
Xu Zhen said: "According to our speed, we should be able to arrive in seven or eight days." If we ride a horse, we can arrive in five days at most.
Yuxi said: "Let's rest for a day in Baoding!" She had to take a good rest, otherwise she was afraid that her body would not be able to bear it.
Xu Zhen nodded and said, "Okay." He had to make arrangements in advance.
During this time, Xu Zhen calculated the distance, and then sent someone to make arrangements at the place where he was going to settle. As soon as Yuxi arrives, she can have hot meals and hot dishes, and then she can go to bed early. Tired to death all day long, Yuxi fell asleep lying on the bed before the end of Haishi.
Yuxi sighed and said: "It's better to stay at home." If she can't go out in the future, she still won't go out. Traveling far away will cost half your life.
That night, Yuxi received a letter from Yunqing. After watching the first half, she was in a good mood, but in the second half, Duan Yuxi's face sank.
Mei Lan asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"
Yuxi said: "There was a defeat ahead, with more than 10,000 casualties, and my uncle was also injured." Casualties are inevitable in wars, and it is not uncommon for generals to be assassinated. What surprised Yuxi was that the fighting power of the Liaodong Army was no less than that of the Northwest Army. Of course, Yunqing mentioned it before, but Yuxi has never seen the true strength of the Liaodong Army.
"General Tie was injured? Is it serious?" Meilan knew that Yuxi valued Tie Kui very much.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "It's just a trauma, so I'm lucky. The Liaodong Army really shouldn't be underestimated." If it wasn't for Yan Wushuang's lack of money and the small number of Liaodong Army, they might not be able to take the capital so easily.
Meilan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Princess, there is something I don't know whether to say or not?"
"Let's talk!" After thinking about it, she knew that what Mei Lan said would definitely not be a good thing. However, Yuxi is not someone who can't listen to honest advice.
Meilan said: "Princess, I don't understand why the capital must be moved to the capital? The capital is too close to Liaodong, wouldn't it be safer to stay in Haocheng?"
Yuxi smiled and said: "There is a knife hanging on the head, so you can whip yourself continuously, and you can't relax for a moment." Once you relax, you will die. In this situation, they will definitely try their best to conquer Liaodong and get rid of Yan Wushuang.
The establishment of the capital also shows that Yuxi and Yunqing are determined to get rid of Yan Wushuang. But this matter has to be understood by oneself, Yuxi will not say it directly.
