Greetings, Ninth Uncle - Chapter 83

[Chapter 83]

When Cheng Yujin woke up again, the curtains were hanging down, and the tent above her head outlined the delicate butterfly-wearing peony, and the quilt under her body was soft and warm.

Cheng Yujin moved her fingers, and when the maid outside heard the movement, she gently opened the bed tent: “Girl, are you awake?”

It was Du Ruo.

Seeing the familiar face, Cheng Yujin was invisibly relieved, she stood up with her arms up, and Du Ruo hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

“What time is it?”

“It’s not three minutes.”

After so long, she slept for a long time, and it was the next afternoon.

I don’t know if she slept for too long, Cheng Yujin’s throat hurts, her limbs are weak, and her brain is groggy.

It seems that she fell into the water this time and will be sick for a while.

Cheng Yujin sat down with Du Ruo’s support, and found that her clothes had also changed.

Du Ruo noticed Cheng Yujin’s gaze and said, “You don’t have to worry, girl, it was the slave and forsythia who replaced it for you. When the girl came back, she was already exhausted and fainted. Jiuye put you in place and sent the slaves and slaves to wipe your body. After changing clothes, he left after giving instructions. Jiuye has all the utensils here, and the hot water has been boiled. The slave and the forsythia dipped a handkerchief in the hot water and wiped your body again. I changed into a brand new undershirt. After that, the imperial doctor also came, gave you a pulse, and left a prescription to ward off the cold. Now Forsythia is in the kitchen staring at the medicine stove.”

Du Ruo carefully took Cheng Yujin into a coma. When they came out, she put a soft pillow behind Cheng Yujin’s waist and sighed: “The servant was still surprised how the imperial doctor came so timely, but later I learned that the imperial doctor was waiting in the front yard early in the morning, waiting for the two servants to give her The girl came in after the cold and changed her clothes. Jiuye is really a capable person. Before anyone came back, everything in the yard was already arranged. Otherwise, it would take a while to wait for the hot water to dry the ground dragon, girl. I was still wearing wet clothes at the time, so why was it delayed?”

After Du Ruo said this, Cheng Yujin discovered that the room was warm and warm, and there was no charcoal basin as far as he could see. It turned out that the earth dragon was burned.

Cheng Jiagui is the Hou’s mansion, and only Mrs. Cheng’s yard is paved with earth dragons. Even if the other rooms are the owner of Qingfu County, they need to burn charcoal pots for heating in winter.

Cheng Yujin had previously sighed that being an old lady is so good. She doesn’t know how much more comfortable it is than others in terms of heating. Unexpectedly, she experienced the treatment of Mrs. Cheng so quickly.

The earth dragon is really different. The room is evenly heated, and there is a slight warmth when you step on the floor. Unlike the charcoal pot, even if you use the best charcoal, there will be a smell of smoke, and the roasted place will be dry and scorching.

Of course, the cost of the earth dragon is also doubled in a straight line.

Sure enough, the Prince’s private residence, even if it is only one of the private residences, is extravagant to enjoy.

Cheng Yujin moved her wrist and leaned comfortably on the soft pillow.

The room was as warm as spring, and my body was fresh and dry. Although my mind was still drowsy, it was much more comfortable than yesterday.

Cheng Yujin looked at the house, and could see that it was uninhabited for a long time, brand new and cold, and unpopular, but all the appliances were complete.

After Cheng Yujin looked at it, she looked away and asked Du Ruo, “How’s it going outside? Does the Hou residence know about my news, where are my mother and second aunt?

” I stayed by the girl’s side all the time. The clothes and hot water were brought by outsiders, and the two slaves never went outside.”

Cheng Yujin was not able to go out.

Cheng Yujin moved again, feeling that she had strength, so she said, “help me get up and change clothes first, what does it look like in middle clothes.”

Du Ruo responded and helped Cheng Yujin up considerately: “When the girl is sleeping There are five or six sets of clothes sent outside, and the girl can choose slowly.” Thinking about it,

although the private property equipment under Cheng Yuanjing’s name is complete, he will never prepare women’s clothes.

It’s okay to say that the middle clothes can barely make a living with a brand new set, but the outer clothes must be bought outside.

Cheng Yujin realized that something wasn’t right when she thought about it. She looked down at her body and found that the cuffs were a bit long and the shoulders were not too loose.

The middle clothes were originally wide, but Cheng Yujin didn’t pay attention to it just now, but now he realizes that it’s not right.

“What are you looking at, girl?” Seeing Cheng Yujin looking down at her sleeves, Du Ruo asked, and then she was silent as if thinking of something.

The private house under Cheng Yuanjing’s name will always prepare a few sets of Cheng Yuanjing’s clothes as spares.

Cheng Yujin didn’t hear Du Ruo mention that there were other maids in the yard. In this way, the middle clothes she was wearing were obviously of a man’s stature and belonged to Cheng Yuanjing.

Even if it is brand new and never worn, it is enough to make Cheng Yujin and Du Ruo blushing.

Cheng Yujin coughed, trying to maintain the image of a calm and calm eldest lady, and said, “Let’s change clothes first.”

Thank goodness Cheng Yuanjing didn’t plan to let her wear his clothes all the time. Several clothes were neatly sized in the dressing room. There are five or six sets of various styles and colors, ranging from linings, shoes and socks to capes and smocks.

Cheng Yujin thought that it would be great to be a prince. Even emergency clothes were bought in five or six sets.

Now that Cheng Yuanjing is ready, Cheng Yujin is not polite and uses it generously.

But when she found out that there was a small coat in her clothes, she was still in a bad mood.

Du Ruo also blushed and said in a low voice, “Girl, you see this is Yunyifang’s clothes. Yunyifang specializes in women’s ready-to-wear. These should be picked for you by the proprietress.”

“Well, it should be.” Cheng Yujin Pretending to be calm and nodding, while speaking, the matter was settled. This was chosen by the proprietress, and no one else intervened.

Cheng Yujin changed her clothes, and Forsythia came back with the medicine.

When she saw that there was no one in the inner room, she was very startled. When she saw Cheng Yujin and Du Ruo walking out from behind the screen, she was relieved and said in surprise, “Miss, you are awake!”

Cheng Yujin nodded, and she sat down on the collapsed , see that all kinds of sour plum desserts have been placed on the table.

Cheng Yujin raised her eyebrows, and Forsythia had already answered with great discernment: “This is sent by Director Liu Yi, saying that Jiuye was worried that the girl just woke up and lost her appetite, so she specially sent some appetizers to mention it to the girl. taste.”

Cheng Yujin was about to sigh out loud. As soon as the expert made a move, he would know if there was any. Look at the eunuchs in the family, and it turns out that these people are professional when it comes to serving people.

Cheng Yujin didn’t quite believe that this was what Cheng Yuanjing ordered. Cheng Yuanjing obviously had something to do yesterday, how can he remember these details, most of them were prepared by Liu Yi, the father-in-law, and finally settled on the master.

The medicine was just out of the oven, and it was still steaming slowly. Cheng Yujin asked Forsythia to put the medicine aside and asked, “Where’s the ninth uncle?”

Her voice was low and hoarse, it sounded rustling, and it was obviously a patient.

Cheng Yujin still had a sore throat after talking too much. She took a sip of tea to moisten her mouth, which made her dry throat feel more comfortable.

Finally asked, what should come will always come, and escaping is not Cheng Yujin’s style.

Du Ruo and Forsythia looked at each other and said, “Ninth Master is in the front yard.”

“Thanks to Uncle Nine for saving me last night, I should thank Uncle Nine. Besides, I borrowed Uncle Nine’s private house. Now that I wake up, I should Talk to the master. Go ahead and ask Uncle Ninth, just say I have something to tell Uncle Ninth.”

At this moment, Liu Yi and Cheng Yuanjing were saying the same thing in the front yard: “…His Royal Highness, Imperial Physician Chen said that Miss Cheng is ill. It’s all right, I woke up after taking two more medicines to dispel the cold. Your Majesty didn’t wait for you yesterday, so I had to go back to the palace first. Just now… Your Majesty sent someone to ask why His Highness didn’t come.”

Cheng Yuanjing was rescued at the lantern festival yesterday. After seeing Cheng Yujin, he went directly back to the nearest house, calling the imperial doctor and staying up late all night, and tossed until the day before he could rest.

Moreover, Cheng Yujin was in a coma due to the cold, and Cheng Yuanjing also soaked in cold water. Liu Yi and others were worried about Cheng Yuanjing’s body, and they were busy preparing decoctions for expelling cold.

Moreover, Cheng Yuanjing was also worried about Cheng Yujin’s illness. After changing his clothes, he immediately went to the back to guard. He didn’t come back to rest until it was almost dawn and Cheng Yujin’s fever subsided.

After sleeping for a long time, he got up again to deal with the affairs in the palace.

Liu Yi sighed. The emperor came to send people to ask questions several times. Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince was not in the mood to pay attention to other things, Liu Yi could only pick something nice and hand it to the emperor.

This is probably the first time that the emperor has been broken by someone, and it is probably the only time. He didn’t see Cheng Yuanjing, and whether he was angry or not, let alone what happened to Cheng Yuanjing, the emperor still needs to know.

After thinking about it, Liu Yi euphemistically relayed it to Cheng Yuanjing, but his master didn’t lift his eyes, and replied lightly, “Yeah.”

Liu Yi had a headache, so he had to remind again euphemistically: “His Royal Highness, don’t worry about not seeing you, Your Highness, It was originally scheduled to only go out on the fifteenth day to see the lanterns, but it has just been extended by another day. The Holy One is very concerned about why you didn’t come last night.” The

emperor went out to the palace on the day of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival to have fun with the people. In fact, the so-called going out of the palace was also It is still in the tower built by the royal family, which is no different from the palace.

It’s just that the rules are much looser than the Forbidden City, and the access control is easy to control, so the emperor can get away briefly and meet Cheng Yuanjing quietly.

It’s a pity that Cheng Yuanjing didn’t go yesterday, and the emperor had no choice but to “have fun with the people” one more day.

The top moved his mouth and the bottom broke his legs, not to mention how much trouble the emperor’s temporary decision brought to the people below, Cheng Yuanjing also thought for a while when he heard it.

Liu Yi lowered his head, not daring to disturb his master’s thinking.

After a while, Cheng Yuanjing put down his pen, stamped his own private seal on the letter paper, and said, “I see, I will tell him about it myself.”

Liu Yi understood that this meant that he should not say more.

Liu Yi sweated unknowingly, but fortunately, he often followed the Crown Prince, and he was able to figure out the Master’s intentions to some extent. When His Majesty sent someone to ask, he only vaguely said that His Highness was suffering from cold, and did not mention Miss Cheng. thing.

Now it seems that he has no intention of saving his life.

Liu Yi’s heart was complicated, and he didn’t know what to think for a while.

He looked at the medicine that was about to cool down on the table, and reminded him carefully: “Your Highness, it’s time for you to take medicine.”

Cheng Yujin fell ill when he came back yesterday, but Cheng Yuanjing was fine, but the eunuchs who were serving were sincere and fearful, for fear that the master would be a little uncomfortable. .

Cheng Yuanjing had a slight headache, and their heads were hanging on their trouser pockets.

Therefore, Cheng Yuanjing also kept the cold medicine here, but Cheng Yuanjing felt that his body was fine and was too lazy to drink it.

Liu Yi exhausted his brains, wanted to persuade but dared not persuade, so he had to change his method to remind Cheng Yuanjing to drink the medicine.

Sure enough, Cheng Yuanjing looked like he didn’t care when he heard this, and had no intention of taking medicine.

Liu Yi had a headache, and he wanted to persuade him, but suddenly his ears moved.

Cheng

Yuanjing also heard the voices outside the hospital, and asked in a deep voice, “Who?

”

, his shoulders loosened and he said, “Let her come in.”

Du Ruo entered the door with his head lowered, not daring to look up at the person above. After saluting in a proper manner, he said, “Mr. Jiu, the girl is awake and wants to meet in person. Thank you. I don’t know if it is convenient for Jiuye?”

In fact, it is not very convenient, Liu Yi thought silently, the emperor is still waiting outside, and there is a backlog of things in the Anbu. Cheng Yuanjing is going out now, and these things will come later. push.

But Liu Yi knew that for Miss Cheng, Cheng Yuanjing must be free.

Sure enough, when Cheng Yujin woke up, Cheng Yuanjing stood up almost immediately and strode out: “She is awake? When did she come to report it immediately?”

Cheng Yujin leaned on the couch and stirred the red bean and tremella soup, There was also a plum in his mouth.

She only tasted two capsules when Cheng Yuanjing came.

Cheng Yujin put down the dishes, stood up and saluted very solemnly: “Ninth uncle.”

Cheng Yuanjing frowned slightly when he saw that Cheng Yujin had already descended to the ground.

He signaled to Cheng Yujin to take no trouble, Cheng Yujin took a slight step back, avoided Cheng Yuanjing’s hand, and performed a full set of etiquette.

“Thank you, Jiu Shu for saving your life.”

Cheng Yuanjing glanced down at the hand that lost his eyes, and looked at Cheng Yujin without saying a word.

Cheng Yujin was not in a hurry, still maintained the most correct etiquette, and waited respectfully.

Cheng Yujin lived up to her reputation, her serious illness was not cured, and she maintained the salute for so long without shaking her body.

Cheng Yuanjing couldn’t bear to make her suffer, she wasn’t cured yet, she didn’t care, but Cheng Yuanjing couldn’t.

“Get up.”

“Yes.” Cheng Yuanjing took the lead to sit down, Cheng Yujin responded, and then stood up unhurriedly.

His attitude was completely different from when he faced his uncle in the Cheng family.

In other words, this is the normal distance between them.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the servants all withdrew long ago, and the doors of the house closed, leaving only Cheng Yujin and Cheng Yuanjing.

Cheng Yuanjing sat, Cheng Yujin lowered her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the ground in a regular manner, meek and respectful.

Cheng Yuanjing looked at her attitude, inexplicably angry: “What do you mean?”

“This is the duty of a courtier.” Cheng Yujin lowered her eyelashes, hiding all the expressions in her eyes, and whispered, “His Royal Highness.”
