Chapter 237 Stop crying
"Really?" A resentful voice came from the side.
Qianxi slapped his chest and said, "Mo Yan! You scared me!"
Mo Yan held the hilt of his sword and stared at her resentfully: "Have you really never had your monthly salary deducted?"
Qianxi: “…”
Mo Yan continued, "How much monthly salary has been deducted from me by the prince? Have you really never seen it?"
Qianxi carefully glanced ahead and whispered, "I have indeed been deducted from my monthly salary a few times...
But, that's also my own fault!
What's more, after the princess punished me in front of everyone every day, she would secretly return the monthly salary to me.
Moreover, the princess not only compensated me for the deducted monthly salary, but also gave me some extra things, sometimes jewelry, sometimes silver, hehe..."
Mo Yan: "..."
He was the only one who actually had money deducted from the beginning to the end.
Heartbroken!
Qianxi ignored Mo Yan, who was covering his chest with a look of grief, and whispered to Xiao Ke: "Come and work for the prince and the princess!
Don't you have several male children in your family? Are your parents-in-law still young?
Make money while you are young!
The prince and the princess are very generous in giving their servants money every month. When the prince builds a manor in Lin'an, your whole family will come together to guard the manor!"
Xiao Ke's heart was slightly moved: "What the girl said makes sense..."
“Come on, come on!” Qianxi took Xiaoke’s hand and whispered in her ear as they walked: “Don’t look at me as I am almost the same age as you, but I have saved up a lot of money!
If you buy a small restaurant with good business in Lin'an, you will probably still have some money left over."
Xiao Ke exclaimed: "The girl is so amazing..."
"It's always right to follow the princess." Qianxi said with a smile.
In front, Yingxiang turned her head to look at the two of them, then looked at Qianxi as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Only then did Qianxi let go of Xiao Ke.
Before they knew it, they arrived outside Xiao Fengnian's house.
Gu Chen had finished giving Lu Xinrou the acupuncture and was directing a maid to boil medicine in front of the stove.
At the well in the courtyard, the guards were drawing water.
Everything is in order.
Hearing the voices, Gu Chen came out of the kitchen: "Princess, Prince."
"How is Xinrou?" Chu Anlan asked.
Gu Chen said, "She has fallen asleep after the acupuncture. Her blood and qi are severely depleted, and she also has a heart disease..." He paused and looked at Xiao Ke, "Is this the wet nurse?"
After saying this, he bowed to Xiao Ke.
Xiao Ke probably rarely saw strangers, so she approached Qianxi with some fear.
Qianxi simply took her hand.
Only when she had someone to rely on did she feel a little braver.
Ye Wanqing introduced: "Her name is Xiao Ke, and she also lives in Sanshui Lane. We asked her to try feeding Xiao Fengnian."
Gu Chen said, "Thank you, Madam."
Xiao Ke blushed and stammered, "My last name is Qiu, you can call me Xiao Ke or Zhang Ke...
I...I'll go see Xiao Fengnian..."
Ye Wanqing instructed Qianxi, who had become very familiar with Xiao Ke along the way, "Accompany Xiao Ke inside, and call for help if needed."
Qianxi enthusiastically took Xiaoke's arm and said, "Come on, I'll go in with you!"
Gu Chen boiled a pot of medicinal tea, asked his servant to bring it to the osmanthus tree, poured a cup and handed it to Chu Anlan.
Afterwards, he picked up another teapot, poured three cups, handed one to Ye Wanqing, and drank the other one himself.
The rest was probably left for Xiao Ke.
Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean? I'm the only one drinking a pot of tea, did you add something to it?"
“How dare I?” Gu Chen replied, “I see… the prince has been a little irritated these days.
This is what I boiled with the herbs I brought with me. It can reduce noise, moisten the lungs, and clear away heat and eliminate fire."
He meant something.
Chu Anlan was about to pour the tea: "Nonsense! I'm fine, how could I be angry?"
As he said this, he looked at Ye Wanqing: "Qing'er, please help me judge..."
Coincidentally, Ye Wanqing was drinking water, and her slightly wet lips glowed with a plump, rosy luster like honey in the sunlight.
"Gudong..." The sound of swallowing saliva was particularly loud.
Chu Anlan's ears turned red. He pretended to be calm and turned his head to take a sip: "Eh... so bitter!"
As he spoke he was about to spit it out.
Gu Chen stopped him: "This medicinal tea was just brewed downstairs, just one cup."
Chu Anlan endured the bitterness and drank it.
After drinking it, he felt the bitter and foul taste of the medicine in his mouth, and his tongue was numb: "Honey... candied fruit..."
The attendant said, "Sir, there is no candied fruit."
Lu Xinrou was in poor health and Xiao Fengnian was a baby, so there was nothing sweet in the house.
Chu Anlan's eyes turned red from the bitterness.
Ye Wanqing felt amused and distressed, and pushed her teacup over: "Drink some water first and press it down."
Chu Anlan felt wronged.
He picked up Ye Wanqing's teacup and took a big sip, but it still tasted bitter, so he simply drank the whole cup of water in one breath.
After drinking it, it still tastes bitter.
He smacked his lips. "What kind of tea is this? Why can't I taste anything? Is my tongue broken?"
Gu Chen held the teacup: "...This is a tea for replenishing qi and nourishing the skin."
Replenish qi?
Beauty care?
Chu Anlan clicked his tongue.
He confidently used Ye Wanqing's teacup and told Mo Yan at the door: "There is a honey pot next to the stove. Check to see if the honey inside is clean.
Although I kicked over the honey pot, there may still be some honey in it. Give me a spoonful."
"Yes."
Mo Yan walked to the stove, bent down to search for a while, and after picking up a honey pot, he was shocked: "What a big centipede!"
The maid who was decocting medicine nearby took one look and screamed in fright.
Then, Qianxi ran out of the house and asked, "What happened? Is there an assassin?"
Mo Yan held up the honey pot for her to see.
"what……"
Millennium screamed.
Then, Xiao Fengnian's crying was heard from the room.
On the recliner, Lu Xinrou was still sleeping, but even in her sleep, she had a painful expression on her face, with her hands tightly pressed against her chest.
Ye Wanqing reminded: "Doctor Gu."
Gu Chen quickly put down the cup and said, "I'll go take a look."
As he said this, he strode towards the eaves.
Qianxi knew that she had done something wrong, and she covered her mouth and admitted her mistake: "Princess, I was wrong..."
Ye Wanqing exhaled: "I was also shocked."
She stood up and said to Chu Anlan, "I'll go in and see Xiao Fengnian first."
Chu Anlan nodded.
After Ye Wanqing entered the room, he frowned and said, "Mo Yan, your monthly salary is gone."
Mo Yan said with a sad face: "I was wrong..."
Chu Anlan thought of Ye Wanqing's slightly frowned brows just now, and gritted his teeth: "Next month's salary is gone too!"
Mo Yan almost cried.
inside the house.
Xiao Ke tucked her clothes in, hugged Xiao Fengnian who was crying very sadly, and patted his back gently.
Hearing footsteps, she turned around: "Princess..."
Ye Wanqing asked: "Did he drink it?"
Xiao Ke nodded, her face a little red: "It's my first time feeding someone else's child, so I'm not used to it...
Fortunately, he was very obedient and drank as soon as he was fed, and he drank a lot. "
Ye Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Just drink it."
She gently opened Xiao Fengnian's swaddling clothes and saw that Xiao Fengnian's face was red from crying, so she said to Xiao Ke, "Give him to me."
Xiao Ke responded and carefully placed the child in her arms.
Ye Wanqing held Xiao Fengnian carefully and patted the swaddling clothes gently with one hand. Soon, Xiao Fengnian stopped crying.
