As soon as Huo Qijing arrived at the guardhouse after the next morning, he called Chu Ningyuan over and asked him what happened yesterday.
It was completely meaningless to talk about it at this time. Chu Ningyuan smiled bitterly in his heart and just cupped his hands: "The general is fine now. Thank you for the general's concern."
Huo Qijing looked at him, didn't ask any questions, nodded and let him go.
Unexpectedly, it was almost lunch time, but several people came in. The first one was Guo Hao, who stepped forward and saluted: "General."
"What's the matter?"
Guo Haodao: "The people in Yuefang forcibly occupied the land and destroyed the Chu family's life-saving medicine. Will the general take care of this matter? If not, we will file a complaint with the Ministry of Punishment!"
Huo Qijing was surprised. He asked: "What's going on?"
Guo Hao explained the matter, and Huo Qijing turned around and called: "Invite Ding Xiaoyan."
The soldiers took the order. When Chu Ningyuan got the news, he hurried over and saluted: "General! They are all standing up for me. Please don't punish me, General."
Huo Qijing said calmly: "You also know it's for you, so why didn't you come to me earlier? Why did you wait until things got out of hand?"
Chu Ningyuan smiled bitterly: "His Highness is recuperating, and I will not dare to disturb His Highness's peace for this trivial matter. But I went to see Butler Ding before, but he... refused."
Ding Xiaoyan came soon after and saluted, "My lord."
Others told the story, and Ding Xiaoyan asked: "Is there such a thing?" He said: "I don't know, how about I go check first? Or should I go outside the city with Colonel Chu?"
Chu Ningyuan said anxiously: "Thank you so much, Butler Ding."
He saluted Huo Qijing: "Thank you also, General."
Guo Hao and others also saluted Huo Qijing: "Thank you so much, general."
Huo Qijing nodded: "I'm taking this opportunity today to say that if there are any problems that you can't solve in the future and you need to deal with others, please come to me as soon as possible. I will take care of everything I can, not just Fuyan."
.”
Several people agreed silently.
Then Chu Ningyuan and Ding Xiaoyan retreated, and Guo Hao followed.
Who would have thought that just as the three of them were riding out of the city, Huo Qijing caught up with them again. Chu Ningyuan said in surprise: "General?"
Huo Qijing said: "I'll go home with you."
Chu Ningyuan: "...???"
Huo Qijing coughed: "My family... happens to be at your house right now."
Chu Ningyuan was stunned at that time.
Family member? Yan Shiyue is at his house? How did she come to his house? He didn’t say anything, but she knocked on the door by herself?
He didn't ask any more questions, so he returned to the temporary place where he had moved with his stuffed gourd, but it was not there. He rushed to the Shang family's flower garden. As soon as he entered, he saw Ding Jiu standing at the door with two people tied around him.
Ding Xiaoyan smiled and said: "Our leader is here, I don't need you anymore."
Ding Jiu came up and saluted Huo Qijing. Huo Qijing said, "Is Wu Qi here?"
Ding Jiu nodded.
Ding Xiaoyan didn't go any further. The three of them dismounted and went in. They saw Yan Shiyue and an old man sitting by the flower garden. When they came in, Yan Shiyue greeted them very enthusiastically: "Ah! Ning Yuan! Ah Hao!
"
Guo Hao trembled, feeling a little panicked for no reason.
Then Yan Shiyue stepped forward and saluted: "I pay my respects to the general."
Huo Qijing helped her and looked at her without saying anything.
Chu Ningyuan looked around and saw no one from his family, so he said: "Brother Wu Qi, may I ask why you are at my house?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Brother Ning Yuan, come and introduce me to you. This is Mr. Su Jisu."
Chu Ningyuan saluted: "Mr. Su."
"Well," Yan Shiyue said, "Now there is bad news and there is good news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Chu Ningyuan was in a troubled mood, but he couldn't help but cooperate: "Well, good news."
"The good news is that this purple ginseng can only be eaten fresh. The ones you prepared cannot be used. And the ones left now are not old enough. They will not be used until at least four years later."
Chu Ningyuan's smile disappeared.
Guo Hao was also calm, but he couldn't help but said angrily: "What kind of good news is this!"
Chu Ningyuan stopped him and said calmly: "What's the bad news?"
"The bad news is that this kind of grass is not called purple ginseng, but is called purple ginseng. It is a slightly poisonous herb, which can cause addiction if you take it. So your mother's dizziness and headache are actually due to drug addiction, not illness.
It will naturally be relieved by taking it.”
Chu Ningyuan was stunned: "Really?"
"Why did I lie to you?" Yan Shiyue said: "But you don't have to worry. I said it is slightly poisonous, so it is not a serious problem. It can also strengthen the body. Mr. Su has checked the pulse. You
My mother is in good health, but she may have a few relapses after she stops taking the medicine. When the time comes, taking Mr. Su’s medicated wine will alleviate the pain, and it will be completely cured in about three months.”
After all these twists and turns, Chu Ningyuan was overjoyed and bowed to the ground: "Thank you so much, Brother Wu Qi!" He looked around: "Where is my mother-in-law?"
"Oh," Yan Shiyue said, "your mother-in-law said that I am her lucky star, and she wants to cook me some delicious dishes to thank me."
Chu Ningyuan was overjoyed and hurried to the kitchen.
Then Yan Shiyue came out with her hands behind her back and waved to Ding Jiu. Ding Jiu hurried over and saluted: "Master."
Yan Shiyue said loudly: "If I hadn't met him accidentally, I wouldn't have known that Yuefang has become a tiger and wolf in everyone's heart! Look at the people you have recruited! They bully the people and seek profit..."
Ding Jiu couldn't help but lower his head.
Yan Shiyue scolded him and led him away. When there was no one around, she whispered: "Did you see that woman in red?"
Ding Jiu said: "I saw it."
She said: "You can quietly tell Xiaoyan later and let him pretend to fall in love at first sight and touch her."
Ding Jiu said: "Do you want me to check?"
"No need," Yan Shiyue whispered, "The shadow guard didn't find anything, but I felt uncomfortable when I looked at her."
Ding Xiaoyan is very handsome, and he is her housekeeper. As long as the other party has some intentions, he will definitely treat him differently.
After the explanation, Yan Shiyue came back. Chu Ningyuan also asked about the matter clearly, came back, and thanked her again.
Yan Shiyue just nodded.
After a while, the food came.
Because Guo Hao comes often, he is not polite and just sits and eats together.
Mr. Shang is good at craftsmanship and often uses flowers in cooking. There are many in the flower garden, and the cooking is fragrant and delicious.
Yan Shiyue had been eating herbal food for many days, and it was rare for her to taste something different. She was full of praises, which made Shang smile happily, but she couldn't help but regret: "My Yao'er, if I could be as clever as you, I wouldn't have to."
I’m so worried, I can’t even talk about marriage now that I’m old.”
Yan Shiyue said with a smile: "Why don't you worry? Brother Ningyuan is a talented man, both civil and military. If he continues to be as good at talking as me, my aunt will worry about having too many wives and children that she can't afford to support."
Shang covered his mouth and smiled, and asked him again: "Wu Xiaolang, are you married?"
"It's done!" Yan Shiyue said, "We just got married last month!"
Shang said: "Wu Xiaolang, you seem to be getting married at such a young age?"
"yes!"
"I wonder whose girl you are marrying?"
Chu Ningyuan was shocked.
He was sitting next to the "little lady". He quickly changed the topic: "Brother Wu, why didn't you go to the health center in the past two days?" (To be continued)
