Seeing Ye Qinglan's calm and composed face, Ruixue finally felt relieved. After thinking about it, she sighed: "With Hongyu here, don't think about peace and quiet in the future."
Ye Qinglan chuckled lightly.
She really didn't pay attention to a maid like Hong Yu who was stupid, brainless and thought she was smart. At most, she just wanted to spice up her peaceful life.
As expected by Ye Qinglan, Hongyu did not go to complain to Mr. Xue. Instead, after settling down, she came over with Hongluan to serve her.
It's said to be serving, but in fact there's not much to do, just stand aside and occasionally pour tea and water.
Ruixue and Guiyuan both felt awkward. Suddenly, there were two more people in the room, and they were no longer as relaxed and comfortable as before. Even the words they spoke had to be weighed. Occasionally, they accidentally met Hongyu's unfriendly eyes.
As I stood there, I felt even more congested.
Ye Qinglan adapted well, sitting lazily on the edge of the bed, casually flipping through a book to pass the time.
The original owner didn't like reading and practicing calligraphy, so there was everything in the cage but no books. Ye Qinglan pretended to be sick and lay in bed every day and was really bored, so she asked Rui Xue to borrow some books from Xue Yushu to pass the time. Xue Yushu heard that she was her dear little cousin.
I wanted to read a book, so I took out a few books I had secretly kept without saying a word.
Books at this time were very expensive, and most ordinary people could not afford them. Only aristocratic young ladies with money and leisure could afford them. Most of the popular leisure books in the world were story books about talents and beauties. They were not very profound.
, just right to pass the time.
Ye Qinglan was worried at first that she didn't know the characters at this time, but when she opened the book, she felt relieved. She knew most of the characters, and some of them had a lot of strokes. She could understand them by guessing based on the context.
So, Ye Qinglan started to read it with great interest.
Although Ruixue was illiterate, she also knew that the idle books read by her master were all romantic and romantic. She quietly reminded her twice: "Miss, you can just read it in private, but don't let the master and his wife know."
Ye Qinglan nodded casually at that time.
In fact, Ruixue was really worrying too much. It was not a big deal for her to stay alone in the room every day and read some idle books. At most, she could just put them away when Ye Chengli and Mr. Xue came.
The room was quiet except for the sound of fingers gently rubbing paper.
Hongyu was calm and composed at first, but after standing there for a long time, she became unbearable and kept stealing glances at Ye Qinglan. It was strange that the third lady used to be the least fond of touching books, but today she was holding a book and reading it.
It’s been almost an afternoon...
Ye Qinglan didn't even raise her head, and said calmly: "You don't have to stay with me in the room. Ruixue stays, and the others can leave!"
Hongyu was eager to hear this order, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. She immediately agreed and retreated with Hongluan.
Guiyuan came in with a bowl of hot soup and said attentively: "Miss, the medicine is ready."
Ye Qinglan resisted the urge to touch her forehead and sigh, and said with a smile: "Put it aside, I will drink it later." The most unbearable thing these days is, of course, drinking medicine.
Modern people who are accustomed to taking a few capsules when they are sick cannot imagine what the dark Chinese medicine tastes like. Three meals a day, each meal requires a big bowl. After drinking, it will be all over the person's body.
Lingering bitter taste.
The honest and honest Guiyuan insisted on holding the bowl: "It's best to drink it while it's hot. If it's cold, the effect of the medicine will be greatly reduced. Miss, you'd better drink it now!"
What she couldn't resist the most was this persistence with deep concern.
Ye Qinglan sighed, put the book aside, took the medicine bowl with a grimace, drank in small sips, and then forced herself to swallow.
so bitter!
Could it be that Mrs. Xue deliberately teased her and asked the doctor to add Coptis chinensis to the prescription?
Ye Qinglan muttered secretly in her heart, her little face was bitter, but it was a bit childish and cute.
Ruixue suppressed her laughter and comforted her softly: "This medicine is a bit bitter, but the doctor said that as long as you drink it for a month, your health will be better."
Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes obscenely and muttered: "I would rather stay sick forever." Anyway, he was just pretending to be sick.
Guiyuan became anxious after hearing this: "How could Miss say that? You must get better soon, otherwise, I will be really anxious." The delicate little round face was full of sincerity.
The softest corner of Ye Qinglan's heart was suddenly poked, and her tone became gentle unconsciously: "Don't worry, I will be fine soon."
"Miss, should you drink all the medicine quickly so that you can recover quickly?" Unexpectedly, Guiyuan was not stupid at all and actually knew how to take the opportunity to make a request.
Ruixue turned her head and snickered. Ye Qinglan rolled her eyes at Ruixue and continued to drink the medicine reluctantly.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
The person who dared to enter the house without knocking was naturally Ye Chengli.
Ruixue and Guiyuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Ye Chengli hummed casually, then walked to the bed and looked at Ye Qinglan up and down: "You look better today than yesterday."
Of course.
In order to pretend to be sick, I have been applying powder for the past few days. It's strange that my face doesn't look pale. After washing my face this afternoon, I didn't have time to touch it up, and my original rosy and healthy complexion was clearly visible.
Ye Qinglan pretended to be well-behaved and was very familiar with it. Hearing this, he smiled happily and said: "Father, why are you here free?" He is leaving tomorrow, so he should be busy saying goodbye to his grandparents today, right?
Ye Chengli smiled and said, "Before I leave, I have to come and see you so that you can feel at ease."
The smile was faint, not very enthusiastic, and not very affectionate. But Ye Chengli's eyes were much gentler than usual.
Ancient men were indeed too reserved. At this time, the father should gently coax his daughter with a few words! After all, they will be separated for a long, long time!
Ye Qinglan complained in her heart, but she had a very touched expression on her face: "Father, you are so kind to your daughter..." A little water shimmered in Yingying's big eyes.
Ye Chengli was obviously moved, and his expression suddenly softened a lot. However, he did not speak, but glanced at Ruixue Guiyuan.
Ruixue immediately understood what Ye Chengli meant and planned to retreat. But Guiyuan was not very smart and stood still.
This silly girl!
Ruixue resisted the urge to sigh and winked at Guiyuan. This time Guiyuan finally reacted and glanced at Ruixue stupidly: "Sister Ruixue, do your eyes hurt? Why are you blinking all the time?"
Ye Qinglan was trying hard to hold back tears and almost laughed out loud when she heard this.
