"Big girl!" Chunyan picked up the thick curtain and came in from outside the house. Seeing Bai Qingyan sitting on the edge of the bed, she quickly took the thin cotton cloak and put it on Bai Qingyan, and said, "Sister Chuntao went to Madam's place to help Luo Luo.
Mom is busy and hasn’t come back yet.”
Seeing Bai Qingyan's poor mental state, Chunyan couldn't help but worry: "Why did the girl get up without asking anyone to wait on her?"
"What time is it?"
"It's not time yet." Chunyan put away the curtains on both sides of the bed, "Girl, would you like some shredded chicken porridge? Mother Fang has been simmering it on a low fire in the small kitchen. The smell is so tempting."
Bai Qingyan gathered his cloak and said, "Please wait for me to get up."
With the sound of "Girls are up!", the courtyard that was quiet just now quickly became lively, with people plowing snow and people preparing water.
Soon, the maids waiting for washing were holding mouthwash, spittoons, copper basins, and handkerchiefs standing in a row under the eaves. Then Chunyan asked someone to lift the curtain and filed in with the maids.
Chuntao returned to Qinghui Courtyard and heard that the eldest girl was up. She hurriedly patted the snow on her body, opened the curtain and went in to wait. When she saw Bai Qingyan, who was wearing a plain white coat with embroidered rhombus pattern and a white fox cloak, and was about to go out, Chuntao walked up quickly.
He was busy tying the cloak for Bai Qingyan.
"It's snowing heavily outside, girl, you are still sick, where are you going?"
"Go see grandma."
Chuntao hesitated to speak, and waited for Bai Qingyan to put on her big cloak, and took the burning charcoal from the charcoal basin and put it into the hand stove. She knew that the eldest girl in their family had always tried to correct her, but even if she kept talking, it would not work.
Taking the hand stove from Chuntao, Bai Qingyan held it in his arms and ordered: "Grandma and I won't need you to serve us for a while. You should avoid people and go to the front yard in person. Let Lu Ping be there in half an hour.
The corridor next to the rockery in the backyard is waiting for me. I have something to tell him."
"Yes!" Chuntao responded.
Bai Qingyan took two steps, clutched the stove tightly and looked back at Chunyan who was packing her suitcase. She looked at Chunyan who was still loyal to her and said, "Chunyan, ask Qingzhu Youshi to come to me."
Counting time, I am afraid that all the men in the Bai family have been lost by now, but...since God has allowed her to come back, Bai Qingyan still wants to try her best, what if she can save even one?! It's better than nothing!
Well done!
"Hey! I'll go find Miss Shen after packing my clothes!" Chunyan said cheerfully.
The snow hadn't stopped yet, so Bai Qingyan came all the way through the snow. The little girl who was sweeping the snow outside Changshou Yard was smart enough to see Bai Qingyan from afar and went into the yard to report.
Before Bai Qingyan could reach the gate of the courtyard, Nanny Jiang, who was beside her grandmother, hurriedly came out to greet her.
"Sister, why are you here before the snow stops?" Grandma Jiang walked quickly to Bai Qingyan with a group of maids holding an umbrella. She naturally took the new stove in the maid's hand and replaced it with half of the stove in Bai Qingyan's hand.
With a cold hand stove, he personally held an umbrella for Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan was stabbed in the abdomen and fell into the water, leaving behind the root cause of the disease, which made him particularly afraid of cold. No one in the whole house knew about it.
Aunt Jiang served her grandmother at the age of seven and never married. Later, when her grandmother went to the west, Aunt Jiang swallowed gold and died for the Lord not long after, which shows her loyalty.
"Mommy..." Bai Qingyan asked while walking with Nanny Jiang to the Changshou Yuan, "Has grandma woke up from her nap?"
"The eldest princess has woken up. She is bowing to the Buddha and asking him to bless the Duke, the Crown Prince and his party for their safe and triumphant return."
"How is grandma doing these days?"
"Don't worry, eldest sister, the eldest princess is under the care of the Imperial Hospital. There is no big problem. It's just that Duke Guan Guo, Shi Ziye and brother have not come back in recent years, so the eldest princess has not slept well." Mother Jiang.
Grandma said.
Bai Qingyan nodded and went into the Nuan Pavilion to tidy up her clothes. Aunt Jiang ordered people to change Bai Qingyan's snow-stained shoes and socks in an orderly manner, and gave her some heat to clean her hands.
"Mom, please don't be busy. I have something to tell you." Bai Qingyan untied his cloak and handed it to Chuntao, then sat down next to the brazier, "You all go down first..."
Aunt Jiang was a shrewd person and knew that Bai Qingyan had something to say and stood aside quietly.
"Mommy, there is news from southern Xinjiang..."
Aunt Jiang held her breath, had a bad premonition, and looked unhappy: "Is it the Duke..."
Bai Qingyan stared at the brazier, stretched out his hand to roast it, pondered for a moment and said, "Excuse me, please take out the life-saving medicine that the Queen Mother gave to my grandmother last time, and prepare some ginseng slices."
Aunt Jiang nodded, her face bloodless.
Bai Qingyan heard a crisp "click" sound, turned around and looked out the carved wooden window, and saw that the snow had broken the branches.
She tightened her cold fingertips and pursed her lips: "Let someone take my grandmother's name card and ask Imperial Physician Huang to come and wait."
"Sister, in fact, the eldest princess has not been able to sleep well during this period, and she has a vague premonition!" Aunt Jiang's eyes turned red, "The eldest princess has always been strong, and she will not ask the imperial doctor to come over. The eldest princess can hold on."
"Mommy, it's better to ask the imperial doctor to come over." Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes, with tears in her eyes.
Whether grandma is strong or not, Bai Qingyan already knew in her previous life.
In this life, Bai Qingyan was too afraid of losing her loved ones. She knew that with her grandmother's wisdom, she would probably be able to guess a thing or two even if she relied on dreams, so she had to be fully prepared.
"Could it be that... something happened to the prince?" Aunt Jiang held on to the door frame, her legs almost giving way.
The eldest son that Mother Jiang calls is Bai Qingyan's father and the legitimate son of the eldest princess.
Bai Qingyan looked at Grandma Jiang, her eyes were red, but her back was straight: "Mama is not an outsider, I am not afraid of being intimate with her, I'm afraid... the whole Bai family will have to count on grandma for this matter.
Just be aware of it. Before the exact report of the imperial battle comes back, I plan to use the dream to let my grandma prepare in advance. Grandma still needs to be taken care of by grandma, so you must hold on."
Aunt Jiang felt her head buzzing and she was covered in sweat. She nodded and knew the seriousness of the matter. The eldest sister could support a child. She had survived her treacherous court career. There was no reason why she could not be better than a child.
Aunt Jiang cheered up and sent someone to bring the eldest princess's invitation to Dr. Huang.
Bai Qingyan warmed up her body in the side room to dispel the coldness on her body. She guessed that Dr. Huang was almost here, so she asked Aunt Jiang to report her arrival.
"Abao, you are not in good health, why are you here in the snow?"
The eldest princess was angry when she saw Bai Qingyan. Although she was blaming in her words, she still stretched out her hand and touched Bai Qingyan as usual. She softened her expression when she saw that her hand was still warm.
Seeing her grandmother again and hearing her call her by her nickname, Bai Qingyan felt as if it was a lifetime ago...
She endured the sobs in her throat and said, "Grandma, I just miss you."
The eldest princess looked at Bai Qingyan's childish look, pretended to be angry and tapped Bai Qingyan's head with her finger, hugged him in her arms, touched Bai Qingyan's head again, and said kindly: "One more time
The palace painter is about to arrive, and everyone else is tidying up in the boudoir, but you run to grandma!"
Tomorrow, the second girl from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion will leave the palace. This is the first girl to get married in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. My grandmother specially invited several court painters to paint pictures for their sisters.
Holding the eldest princess in his arms and smelling the sandalwood scent of the eldest princess, Bai Qingyan became even more sad, fearing that if he told the news, the result would be the same as in the previous life.
Seeing Aunt Jiang coming in with the curtain open and nodding to her, Bai Qingyan knew that Dr. Huang had arrived, and the person at the door, Aunt Jiang, also moved away.
"Grandma..." Bai Qingyan looked up at the eldest princess, "I had a dream at noon today. I dreamed that my grandfather, father, uncles, and brothers all failed to come back from southern Xinjiang. Grandma, you can't stand the irritation.
Unfortunately, someone has falsely accused our Bai family of collaborating with the enemy. All the remaining members of my Bai family are women. Without the protection of my grandmother, I can only be eaten by mermaids."
