Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11586

The next day, when Yang Ruoqing and the others got up to pay their respects to Old Madam Zuo, they found that she was sick. She had not even had breakfast and was still lying in bed.

Zuo Junmo was tending to the patient by the bed, while Zuo Jinling was sent to the neighboring village to invite an old doctor to come and see the old lady.

However, Jun Lan, and Wang Yanke and her daughter, who had been accompanying Old Madam Zuo, were nowhere to be seen.

"The Wang family had an urgent matter, so Junlan and her daughter went back early in the morning."

This is Zuo Junmo’s explanation to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing had no doubts. After all, Jun Lan was now a member of the Wang family. This time, she brought Wang Yange to Zuojiazhuang specifically to celebrate Old Madam Zuo's birthday.

After the birthday party, the mother and daughter could continue to stay in Zuo's house for two or three days, which was already quite comfortable for them.

After all, the Wang family still runs several shops in the county town, and there are three children, two adults and one child, at home who are left to Junlan's husband, so it is time for them to go back.

It was just unfortunate that this time when I went back, Madam Zuo suddenly fell ill.

"What's the old lady's illness? Is it serious?" Yang Ruoqing asked Zuo Junmo.

Could it be because the whole family came to play for several days and the old lady had to entertain them every day, disrupting her biological clock and making her sick from exhaustion?

Zuo Junmo saw the worry and concern in Yang Ruoqing's eyes, and he quickly said, "I didn't manage the time well when I soaked my feet before going to bed last night. The water got cold and I didn't take my feet out in time, so I caught a cold."

"It's a minor problem. Wait for the doctor to come over and prescribe two doses of medicine for her to take, and then apply two plasters on the soles of her feet. She will be well soon."

After hearing Zuo Junmo's explanation, Yang Ruoqing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a big problem, it would be fine.

"I'll go in and see the old lady."

"it is good."

When Yang Ruoqing saw the old lady, she was indeed much less energetic and spirited than yesterday.

His face was a little pale, his nose was a little red, and his voice was muffled. It was obvious that he had a cold.

However, rather than having a cold, Yang Ruoqing felt that the old lady seemed to be suffering from insomnia, because there were bloodshot eyes and very heavy dark circles under her eyes.

Maybe the old lady caught a cold while soaking her feet last night was an excuse. There were so many people serving her, and if the water temperature was a little cold, there were people watching over her at all times. How could she catch a cold?

The most likely possibility is that the old lady is worried about something, and this illness was triggered from within her heart.

As for what kind of worries caused the old lady to fall ill, that was not something Yang Ruoqing was suitable to inquire about...

After talking to the old lady for a few words in the room, the doctor came over and Yang Ruoqing stepped aside.

Watching the doctor taking the old lady's pulse and prescribing medicine, and then the old lady taking the medicine and preparing to rest, Yang Ruoqing returned to her room this time.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan have gone out to play. Children are always the most innocent and carefree.

But as long as they grow up a little, they will know what to do. For example, today, Luo Wuyou did not go out to play again.

Previously, when Jinling went to the neighboring village to ask for a doctor, it was Luo Wuyou who accompanied him. Now Yang Ruoqing came back first, but Luo Wuyou still stayed in the old lady's yard, taking care of the old lady with Jinling.

"With my daughter staying over there to take care of the patient, it saves me a lot of work." Yang Ruoqing said softly to Luo Fengtang who was sitting opposite her.

Luo Fengtang nodded, "Old Madam Zuo likes our children so much, it's only natural for Wuyou to go and take care of her."

Yang Ruoqing agreed with Luo Fengtang's idea. She looked around and saw that no one else was around. At the moment, they were the only ones in the room. So Yang Ruoqing lowered her voice and said, "Besides, we have already discussed some things with the Zuo family. If our daughter stays with the old lady to serve her, the old lady will feel comfortable and happy. Maybe she will recover faster."

Sometimes, taking medicine to treat is one thing, and treating your mood is another. If the two can be perfectly combined, you can get twice the result with half the effort!

"Tang boy, what do you think? We have been in Huguang County for four or five days. Is it time to go back?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Luo Fengtang thought for a moment and said, "It's true that I have almost finished my time here. I can resign now."

"Actually, I went to the old lady today just to ask for my resignation..." Yang Ruoqing said.

Although Tuantuan and Yuanyuan wished to stay in the Zuo family forever, besides Ping'an and Linglan, there was also a large group of Zuo family servants and maids who played with them every day, and even friends of the same age in the farm played with them. Every day was as lively as the New Year!

However, things don't always go as they expect. How can they stay as guests forever?

"I originally wanted to resign from the old lady and leave tomorrow, but now the old lady is sick, so it's not a good time for us to leave."

Junlan can do this, but Yang Ruoqing can't!

I believe Luo Fengtang feels the same way.

"Well, Qing'er, your concerns are correct. After all, we have to wait until the old lady is almost fully recovered before we can leave without any worries."

"I knew you had the same idea as me, so I didn't mention it to the old lady." Yang Ruoqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's wait a few more days, so that Wuyou can take our place and fulfill our filial duties to the old lady."

In the morning, Zuo Junmo came over and invited Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing to have tea in the tea garden halfway up the mountain behind the manor.

"I've specially reserved this year's wild tea for you. You must try it."

"But the old lady is not feeling well. It would be a bad idea for us to go to the mountains to taste tea, right?"

"Don't worry, Qing'er. My mother just has a slight cold. She will be fine after taking some medicine. Besides, she has people to take care of her. Jinling and Wuyou are here!"

"Hmm... let me think about it..."

"Qing'er, don't worry about it. Compared to taking care of their two children, it doesn't matter whether we are there or not!"

"Brother Jun Mo, you are being too modest..."

"Haha, this is not called modesty, this is called self-awareness!"

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other, and Luo Fengtang smiled and said, "Qing'er, listen to Brother Zuo, he has his own arrangements."

"Okay, then we will follow your will and obey your arrangements, Brother Zuo."

In the morning, Zuo Junmo invited Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang and his wife to the Zuo family's tea garden halfway up the mountain.

In the tea garden, they not only drank tea under a thousand-year-old sycamore tree, but also played chess and chatted.

Zuo Junmo pointed at the old sycamore tree above his head that was almost towering into the clouds, and enthusiastically introduced it to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

"This sycamore tree is at least 800 years old, and at most 1,500 years old."

"I checked the Huguang County Chronicles and found that this tree existed during the previous dynasty."

"There are more than a dozen versions of legends and stories about this tree... The most amazing one is that some people even say that this tree can reach the sky, and you can climb all the way to the sky along its trunk!"
