Chapter 13 Passers-by

On Saturday Lang went to Jiangzhou in person, and soon he came back to find a young and pretty girl beside him, which shocked everyone at home.

After talking to her father and mother, this girl, whose origins were speculated by everyone, became Liu Lang's close servant girl.

A girl in this position can only have a chance to get it after at least three years of training.

This wild girl who suddenly appeared was so valued by the young master that she suddenly became the focus of the family.

It is said that Mrs. Zhou bought it when she was alive and gave it to the Cheng family. Now that the fool has returned home, she will naturally go back to the Zhou family. It's that simple? Who would believe it?

Banqin was said to be shy and uneasy. She was not an articulate person, and she grew up in a Taoist temple. She was always a little frightened when dealing with the girls at home, but luckily, for the sake of Liu Lang,

Everyone is kind to her.

But she still doesn't know how to deal with everyone's jokes. What would the lady say if she were here?

The word "wife" flashed across her mind, and Banqin's heart suddenly sank, as if an iron weight was hanging on it, falling and falling.

Lady…

Are you ok?

Would she be sad if he left her alone? Or maybe she had forgotten that Banqin existed in the world.

Looking back at this moment, she was so lost in her thoughts that she just... without even thinking about it...

"Hey, you're here."

Suddenly someone shouted from above.

Banqin looked intently and saw a young man leaning over by the window on the second floor with a frown and an impatient look on his face.

"Why are you so slow?" he said, with an arrogant and domineering attitude.

Banqin felt joy spread from the bottom of his heart, and the weight suddenly disappeared.

"Yes." She responded, hurriedly walked into the restaurant, walked through the noisy lobby under the guidance of the waiter, and arrived at the private room on the second floor.

As soon as I went up the stairs, I met several women walking towards me. Most of them were wearing colorful gauze hats. Two of them were holding a five or six-year-old girl in their hands.

Banqin turned aside to avoid it, and suddenly one of the girls let out a cry.

"Sister?" she shouted, "you are the sister!"

With her shouting, everyone stopped and felt a little puzzled. Banqin also looked up subconsciously and saw the girl giving him a surprised smile.

"Yeah, yeah." The girl was even more happy when she saw her clearly, and raised her little hand, "You are the girl who can control the wind and rain!"

Banqin looked at her, astonished.

In the rain, in a ruined temple, a child clings to an old man and eats red bean cake.

It's just that at this time, there is no old man beside the girl, and there is no wife beside her.

Banqin felt a little sad for a moment.

"It's you." She said, unable to help but smile, "Little sister, you have come to the capital too."

The girl nodded happily and hurriedly shook the hand of the woman holding her.

"Sister, this sister is my grandpa and I met on the road. She is amazing. She can rain and cook delicious food." She said in a childlike voice.

The women present knew that the girl came all the way from south to north. Although it was rare to meet her again on the road, it was not unheard of, so they glanced at Banqin and didn't care much.

The woman holding the girl nodded slightly to Banqin as a greeting.

Banqin hurriedly returned the favor.

"Sister, what is your name and where do you live? My name is Danniang and I live..." the girl said excitedly.

Before she could finish her words, she was gently pulled down by the woman, and the girl's words were cut off.

And the girl over there also urged.

"Banqin, hurry up, the young master is waiting," she said.

Both parties agreed, Banqin and the women bowed again, and took their separate steps while the girls were reluctant to leave.

It's like meeting an acquaintance on the road and smiling, but in the end they have to go their separate ways.

"We, Dan Niang, also have old acquaintances."

The women traveling with her made fun of the little girl.

The girl was a little proud. She came to the capital and left the environment she had lived in since she was a child. For a child like her, it was really lonely, especially since her grandfather was sick...

grandfather!

The girl was a little anxious when she thought of her grandfather.

"Go home quickly, go home quickly, I want to tell grandpa to go." She said happily.

Hearing her mention her grandfather, the faces of the women showed a bit of sadness. They stroked the girl's head and went downstairs to get in the car.

The carriage passed through the streets, turned into a secluded alley, and stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary house.

The house is ordinary, and there are many people who come out to greet it, and the momentum is not small.

The girl broke free from the servant's hand.

"I'm going to find grandpa." She shouted and ran towards a yard.

The maid was busy chasing after him.

With her small body, the girl gently pushed away the servant woman and entered a courtyard. She bumped into a man head-on. The man had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch her to avoid falling.

Even so, the girl covered her nose with tears in her eyes.

"Excuse me, I didn't see the little lady." The trembling white-haired old man hurriedly coaxed her.

The man following the old man looked solemn.

"Danniang, you are rude." He shouted in a deep voice.

The Chen family has a strict upbringing, and both men and women are initiated at the age of four. Now, Dan Niang, who is only five years old, already knows the etiquette of advancing and retreating. Seeing that her father is displeased, Dan Niang is busy saluting the old man in a decent manner.

"It's Danniang who's rude." She Nuonuo said.

The old man smiled, stroked his beard and nodded.

Chen Shao's expression softened slightly.

"Father, I want to go see grandpa." Danniang said hurriedly, observing her words.

"Don't go. Grandpa just took the medicine. Don't wake him up." Chen Shao said, looking at the worried maid who followed him and waving his hands, "Take the lady down."

The servants hurriedly stepped forward to grab the girl and took her away with coaxing and persuasion.

Chen Shao let out a breath.

The old man looked at him, thought for a moment, and stretched out his hand.

The boy following behind him immediately took the medical box, and the old man took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Chen Shao.

"You may need this," he said.

Chen Shao's face showed surprise and he subconsciously held the old man's hand.

"Mr. Li, this medicine is for my father..." he asked in a trembling voice.

The old man shook his head.

"It's for you to use." He said, clapped the porcelain bottle into Chen Shao's hand, and lowered his voice, "Mr. Chen is too worried, so you should take care of yourself. This medicine can regulate your vitality and relieve your energy consumption due to not eating or sleeping."

After saying that, he patted Chen Shao's arm again.

"Sir, please hold still," he said.

When facing the patient's family, an imperial doctor said not to take care of himself but to be stable. It sounded a little weird, but Chen Shao had a quick wit and came to his senses.

The initial cause of my father's illness was a sudden fall. When a young man falls, he is afraid of breaking his muscles and bones. Fortunately, his skin was only scratched. Several doctors looked at him and said that he would be fine if he took care of himself.

But I didn't expect that not only was this treatment not good, it actually made it worse.

First I couldn't get up, then I lost feeling in my legs and feet, and soon I couldn't urinate or defecate on my own, and now I'm unconscious for half the day.

It took only half a month for him to go from being a vigorous old man to being paralyzed in bed without realizing his fate. It was just half a month. This was so fast! It was so sudden!

The doctors changed quickly, but they couldn't even find a unified cause. In the end, Chen Shao didn't dare to ask a doctor easily.

Because the news of his father's serious illness spread, the matter about Ding You has been discussed in the court. It is said that someone has already written to the emperor to recommend someone to replace him.

I have just returned to the capital, and before I have started to develop my ambitions, I have to leave again. If I leave this time, it will be three years, three years, and how many three years there are in life!

How willing, how willing.

His father's illness, his own future, and the Chen family's future, tortured day and night, made Chen Shao, an elegant and elegant scholar, almost lose his image.

If outsiders see him like this, the rumors will inevitably get louder.

Chen Shao clenched the porcelain bottle in his hand. These medicines could keep him energetic and stable.

How would an imperial physician think of this?

Chen Shao looked over and saw the old man's back walking out the door, trembling.

Who was entrusted by him to give him this advice?

Steady, steady.

Chen Shao held the porcelain vase tightly and did not move for a long time, concentrating on it.

The little figure took advantage of the maid to carry the medicine bowl and slipped into the room.

The smell of medicine and foul smell in the room were mixed, but Dan Niang didn't care. Instead, she looked eagerly at an old man sleeping peacefully on the couch behind the tent.

"Grandpa, grandpa." Danniang shouted, tiptoeing over.

The old man on the couch, covered with two layers of brocade quilts, closed his eyes silently and gasped with his mouth slightly open, telling others that he was still alive.

Dan Niang couldn't tell the difference between illness and death. She only knew that her grandfather was tired and needed more rest. At this time, she knelt down beside the bed and lifted the doll in her hand.

"Grandpa, grandpa, look what I bought." she said.

The girl's voice was clear and crisp, and the old man woke up leisurely and turned his head to look over with cloudy eyes. This was the rare time for him to wake up.

I'm so happy to see my granddaughter.

"Ah, Dan Niang..." He made a hoarse and vague voice.

The girl was even more happy to see her grandpa awake. She chirped and told him about what she had seen in the market, what she had eaten and what she had played.

"Grandpa, please get well soon," she said, shaking her grandfather's arm with bright eyes. "When we were fifteen, we went to see the lanterns. I wanted my grandfather to carry me on his back to see the lights. Grandpa could support me.

"

A tear fell from the old man's cloudy eyes.

It’s not getting better, Dan Niang, Grandpa, I can’t accompany you to see the lanterns, Grandpa, I can’t accompany you anymore...

"Ah, by the way, Grandpa, I saw that sister today." Dan Niang said, putting down the doll in her hand, "The sister who gave me red bean cakes."

The old man's thinking froze for a moment.

Red bean cake…

"Grandpa, do you remember, um, we were on our way, it was raining, and the lady said it was raining, so it rained, and it wouldn't rain until she said it would. That lady, that lady's girl gave me red bean cake, it was particularly delicious.

"

Children's words are confusing, talking about random things, saying whatever comes to mind, without any structure or structure.

These confusing words became clear to the confused old man's ears.

That lady...

That lady!

Dad, your illness needs to be treated as soon as possible...

A wooden voice rang in his ears, and the old man raised his body suddenly, but in the end he was unable to do so. He just raised his hands and made a whooshing sound in his throat.

"That woman!" he hissed.

The girl was startled and stared blankly at the struggling grandfather, who was at a loss. The people outside the door heard the noise and ran in. Chen Shao also came in. When he saw his father's face pale and his eyes wide open, he immediately became confused.

Covered in cold sweat.

Isn’t it possible? It’s going to happen so soon...

His mind suddenly went blank.

"Father." He rushed over and grabbed his father's hand.

His father's hand also grabbed him suddenly, with unprecedented force.

"Sanlang, that lady..." He looked at his son and shouted with all his strength, "Help!" (To be continued)
