Chapter 164 Rest
Chapter 164 Rest
Raising his hand among the mountains and rivers, he looked at the green fingertips. He was not willing to give up Yining. Since their wedding, he always made her sad. Lonely, he stretched out his hand to touch the burning light, which crackled and jumped...
The mountain stream is gurgling, so clear that you can see the rocks and fish at the bottom of the water. The grass on the side is green and blooming with all kinds of wild flowers, swaying in the breeze, and the water in the stream is splashed by the whip of horses.
The carriage drove steadily and even more slowly. There was no movement in the carriage. The shadow guard asked, "Young Madam, would you like some lunch?"
Shen Yining didn't want to eat, but if she didn't eat, they might not eat either. She curled up, pulled her robes together, and said weakly, "Okay, eat."
There was no restaurant in the mountains. They found a place by a stream that was not exposed to the sun. Ling waited beside the carriage and Yu Beigong went into the mountains in a blink of an eye. In a few seconds, Yu came out mysteriously and handsomely, carrying two colorful pheasants and edible wild fruits: "Ling, make a fire!"
The two were busy on the roadside. Shen Yining sat beside the carriage, tightening her cloak and watching. She thought they were going to eat in a restaurant, but she never expected it to be so wild.
The two of them were very skilled and soon prepared the chicken and put it on the fire to roast. Shen Yining asked with a weak smile: "You are very skilled, is it because you do this often?"
The two of them stood up quickly: "Replying to Madam, this is our basic skill."
Shen Yining reached out from his robe and gestured for him to sit down: "Feel free."
"Yes!" The two of them sat down and relaxed a lot. Shen Yining looked at the scenery in the distance with a smile.
The roasted chicken was sizzling with oil, and Yu used leaves as a cushion to pull out two chicken legs: "Madam, have lunch."
Shen Yining only took one: "Thank you, it looks delicious."
Ling handed over the washed wild fruit wrapped in leaves. The red, black and yellow colors looked very pretty. Shen Yining took it with surprise: "Puan fruit, I haven't eaten it for a long time."
"Young Madam, do you recognize me?"
"Well, in Yongzhou before..." Shen Yining returned the wild fruit to Ling with a serious expression halfway through his speech. At that time, Shen Changqing led him to pick it.
He had no interest in looking at the scenery and got up to go back to the carriage. This man now made him tremble with fear. He was paranoid, rude, crazy, and terrifying. Alianyi had ruined everything by wearing Changqing's face...
Ling and Yu finished their meal quickly and restored the place to its original state skillfully. The carriage slowly set off and swayed as it arrived at the Nominated Inn in the sunset.
Ling arranged the accommodation and said respectfully from outside the feather curtain: "Young Madam, we have arrived at the inn."
The carriage was silent. Yu repeated it again but still nothing happened.
"Young Madam, I'm sorry!" Yu lifted the curtain of the car and saw a person lying curled up under the cloak, not moving.
"Young Madam! What's wrong with you?"
He hurried in to help the fainted young lady up, only to see that her face was pale and bloodless, so he hurriedly carried her down to Ling who was passing by the counter. Ling hurriedly asked the waiter to lead the way to the upper room.
"You please take good care of the young lady. I will go get a doctor!" Ling turned around, dismounted the horse, and went to the surrounding villages to see if there was a doctor.
The innkeeper saw the situation and was afraid that something might happen, so he hurried over to check. The girl who had just come in and was dying woke up. She was now weakly drinking water beside the couch. The man in black beside her turned around vigilantly. The innkeeper said embarrassedly at the door: "I came to ask if I need help, haha~"
Yu walked to the door and handed over a silver ingot: "Ask the zither outside to stop playing. Also! Those drinkers downstairs better keep the noise down!"
The boss happily took the money. If you don't make money, you're a bastard! "Hey, okay."
The boss is a smart guy. He started a summer rice field meditation session. Talented men and beautiful women went outside the inn to feel the summer night sky.
Ling whipped the doctor who was still having dinner and rushed over here. The doctor held his hat and shouted as the horse galloped, "Ouch! What happened? Slow down! My dinner is about to fall out..."
Quickly came to the Nomination Inn and asked Doctor Ling: "Come and see our young lady!"
"Oh, good, good!"
When they got upstairs, Yu Shou stood at the door and signaled for silence. The two of them slowed down and went into the house. Shen Yining was sleeping on the couch with a frown on his brow.
The doctor stroked his beard and felt the pulse. He looked up at the two men in black in front of him without saying a word. "Madam is fine. She is just weak and cold. Her body is not suitable for blood clotting. However... Madam's cold is more serious than that of ordinary women. You should rest well for the next few days. You can't stand the bumpy road anyway."
Lingyu and the other two were confused and could not understand what was being said. They just said, "The doctor, can you prescribe some medicine to relieve the pain? Or acupuncture or some other treatment method? Let our young lady feel better!"
The doctor stroked his beard and wrote a prescription at the table: "Acupuncture can relieve the pain, but my home is too far from here, so I'd better take the medicine three times a day."
Ling took the prescription and said, "Where are the herbs here? The doctor will stay here to take care of our young lady, there can't be any mistakes!"
The doctor wanted to go home but he really needed the silver ingot. Yu added, "Take good care of our young lady. One ingot a day! If you don't take good care of her..." Reaching out to wipe his neck, the doctor nodded timidly.
Song Xiaoyuan rushed to Lu'an Lotus Garden late at night. He had not returned for a long time and the servant at the gate did not recognize him until he saw the Song family token... The originally dim Lotus Garden was illuminated by lights turned on from the gate.
"The Master is back! The Master is back!"
"The Master is back!!"
The elderly housekeeper came with a lantern, and greeted him with tears in his eyes and trembling hands: "Old servant Xuyang greets the young master! Young master, you are back!!!"
When Song Xiaoyuan was young, he would come with his parents to visit Lord Song every summer. The young boy was fond of martial arts and always practiced swordplay at the Lotus Terrace. Until Lord Song died, he took his wooden sword and asked him to study literature, just like his family had been a scholarly family for generations. He handed over the wooden sword without saying a word, and after passing the imperial examination at the age of 19, he never returned to the Lotus Garden again.
"It's been eight years since we last met. I hope Uncle Xu is doing well!"
Xuyang tilted his head and looked back and forth, he couldn't help but wonder: "Thank you for your concern, sir. Am I back on business this time?"
"I have resigned."
"what!!!"
No one in the garden knew about this. They only knew that the young master got married but had not met the young lady, and it was not a good idea to ask too much at such a late hour.
Song Xiaoyuan returned to his bedroom to take a shower and change his clothes. At night, the lotus garden was filled with fragrance, and he came to the ancestral hall alone to burn incense.
Fu Tuan was kneeling and kowtowing: "Grandfather, I am ashamed of your trust in me. I cannot protect the peace of the people in the world, I cannot change the world's hunger and cold, and I can't even protect the people I love. I am a useless person and a disgrace to my family."
All things are flowing, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting its cool light, illuminating the lonely lotus pond.
Lingyu and the other person took turns guarding the door. After all, the doctor was paid one ingot of silver for acupuncture every day, and he also did his job conscientiously and made arrangements for the food.
Shen Yining stayed at the Nominal Inn for three days. On the fourth day, although she was still feeling uncomfortable, she felt much better. Ling sent the doctor away and continued on the road. As she got closer to Lu'an, Shen Yining couldn't help but feel flustered. She didn't know the outcome, but she wanted a result!
Awu in the capital received a letter from Chi Ling, in which the young master asked if they had arrived in the capital safely and if Yi Ning was okay.
Ah Wu was panicking. Even if the carriage was slow, it would still take three days to reach Lu'an. How could it be six days already?...
