Foster son and husband

Chapter 58 Going Out
Mei Niang also looked at Feng Shi, and couldn't help sighing secretly: Qin Boqing, a sick and weak scholar who would collapse in the wind, married a thin woman who looked like a thin willow, with a pale face and a sick body, leaning on the back of the chair, timidly Stand there and watch her.

After thinking about it, I thought again: be content, Master Qin made an appointment before his death, the Qin family has fallen so badly, and they are willing to marry and endure hardships, how conscientious is it!

He hurriedly stepped forward to hold Feng's hand, and shouted affectionately: "Sister-in-law!"

Obviously, Mrs. Feng has been well-educated since she was a child. She is well-educated and courteous. When she saw Mei Niang for the first time, she was awed by her beauty and the noble temperament exuding from her body. She was a little timid, but quickly calmed down and twitched slightly He returned his hand, took a step back, and said softly: "It's time to greet Mrs. Hou first!"

He wanted Fu to get down, and Mei Niang didn't allow her to salute, so she held her up: "I heard from my mother that my sister-in-law is the same age as me. If that's the case, let's not salute each other, okay?"

Feng Shi smiled and raised her eyes to look at her, Mei Niang found that the gentle and delicate Feng Shi had a pair of delicate and intelligent slender eyes, and her heart moved: such a woman may not be as weak inside as her appearance.

Mei Niang took her to sit on a chair near the brazier, and asked: "Sister-in-law, who was pregnant, came all the way back from Yuezhou. It was too hard! Is she feeling better now? How is brother?"

Feng's eyes were slightly red: "Grandma Xie is concerned! I'm fine. I didn't feel well at first, and my stomach hurt a little. It was because the road was too bumpy. Last night, I invited a doctor to check my pulse and prescribed anti-abortion medicine. Well, I just need to lie down and recover slowly. Your brother protected me all the way, and covered me with all the bedding, but he himself was soaked in cold, with fever and chills, coughing and wheezing all night, okay? Scary!"

Meiniang walked to the bed in a few steps, pulled up the curtain, and looked down at her elder brother who was out of shape, feeling anxious and uncomfortable again, and said to Feng Shi:
"Being sick like this must be due to the cold in the strong wind and snow a few days ago. Why don't you take a rest on the road and go home two or three days before the year, and you will be frozen to death!"

Feng wept: "It's the escorting sergeants...they drove the carriage all the way, almost day and night, I was really uncomfortable, so I let you stay at the inn for one night, and you have to leave early the next day, your brother said Lord Hou gave up his face to let us be escorted. Who doesn't want to go home and reunite with relatives soon after being closed this year? Just be considerate and teach me not to talk. Seeing that I am uncomfortable, he just puts his bedding on me. Then, the result..."

She sobbed softly, but Mei Niang's eyes turned green with anger: Damn Xu Junying, is this considered a help?Are the subordinates going to protect her brother's life, or are they trying to take his life?

500 taels of silver to buy medicine, right? Wait, the mental damage fee has not been paid yet!

"Sister-in-law, did brother wake up and eat today?"

Feng shook her head with tears in her eyes: "Last night, the doctor came to check the pulse, took medicine once, still coughed badly in the middle of the night, and vomited blood this morning... I called the doctor to see, and prescribed another prescription, picked up the medicine and boiled it , but he was so tired, he didn't wake up, he didn't eat any food, I have no idea."

Mei Niang took a look at Li'er, who was standing beside her with her head bowed, as the tea was served. Feng Shi understood, and said, "We don't have many people left in our family, only the three little girls I brought and two couples are left to accompany the room. , an old family member who is a gatekeeper, they are all honest people who are willing to endure hardships together, Lier has been with me since she was a child, and she doesn't talk nonsense!"

Mei Niang nodded, looked at Feng Shi and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want your brother to get better soon?"

Feng was stunned for a moment, and immediately responded: "Of course I really want it!"

"I know that brother can be cured by himself, but it seems that I sincerely go to invite him personally, but the journey is far away, and I am afraid that my mother will worry and refuse to let me go out alone. If my sister-in-law can help me, I will be able to treat him in the afternoon." People please come!"

Feng's mouth was slightly open, and she shook her head mechanically: "Let you go out alone? My aunt has a high status, if there is a slight difference... no!"

"Oh, I'm not alone. My sister-in-law is going to find a trustworthy person for me and drive me there!"

Feng asked, "Where are you going?"

"Thirty miles southeast of the city!"

Feng took a breath: "Outside the city? No! You can't go!"

"Sister-in-law!" Meiniang went to hold her cool hand tightly: "Don't you want my brother to get better? My brother is Shen He. Even if the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital comes, he may not be able to cure you well. How long will this disease be allowed to last? If the disease continues like this, even if he does not die, he will definitely miss the spring test and lose a chance!"

With tears in her eyes, Feng said, "Let's... treat the disease slowly, it's fine if we don't participate in the next spring exam!"

Mei Niang let go of her hand: "Then you just stay with him and wear it slowly, watching him suffer from illness, unable to stretch your wish, and be depressed!"

But Feng's suddenly grabbed Meiniang's hand: "Of course I miss your brother... But, I can't let you take risks! You are going back to your natal family to visit your relatives. If something goes wrong, how can our Qin family explain it to the Houfu?" !"

Mei Niang said: "Since I dared to make this decision, I must have thought about it. I believe in my luck, so you don't have to worry too much. Just find a reliable person to drive with me, and it will be done!"

Feng stared at her husband lying in the gauze tent on the bed for a long time, bit her lip, and finally nodded vigorously:
"Okay! Let's sister-in-law work together, let's try our luck!"

She told Li'er: "Go, let Lian Da quietly prepare the car and wait at the back door, no one will see, I will come with my aunt later!"

Li'er blessed her body and went out.

Feng Shi looked at Mei Niang: "Grandma..."

Meiniang smiled and said, "Call me Meiniang!"

Feng looked at her seriously, with a solemn expression: "Mei Niang, you, you are so beautiful, I am really worried, I have to bring more people to follow..."

Mei Niang said: "People are more conspicuous, but it is easy to cause trouble. I just want to take a car and have a coachman, that's enough!"

Feng's face changed: "No, at least bring two maids!"

Mei Niang stamped her feet, and clenched her fists in her sleeves. These days, she eats and sleeps well, and consciously nourishes, exercises, and strengthens her physique. She feels a little stronger. It's hard to get close to her body.

"What kind of person is Lian Da?"

"Lian Da is my nanny's son. I respect him as a big brother in private. He is very loyal and honest. I am very relieved to ask him to take you there. It's just that he can't do anything that needs to be served on the way."

"I don't need to serve, as long as Brother Lian is with me!"

Mrs. Feng hesitated, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Why don't you let Sister-in-law Lian go together? Brother Lian and Sister-in-law Lian are both strong and capable... In the past, when my natal family went out of the city to do something, I often sent them as a couple. Go, you are familiar with all the roads outside the city!"

Meiniang thought of the poor servant who was blowing charcoal fire: "Sister-in-law Lian serves in front of mother, will she tell mother to know?"

Feng said: "I told her, she won't talk nonsense... Even if I say it in the future, don't be afraid. By then, you will have returned. You are well, and mother has nothing to say!"

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Mei Niang got up, walked to Feng's dressing table and spun around, squinted at herself in the mirror, and said, "I want to change my appearance, disguise myself as a man, and borrow a piece of clothes from my brother." Put on!"

Mrs. Feng hurriedly went to the closet and rummaged around, and found a royal blue brocade gown with flowers: "This is a new gown, mother made two sets of new clothes for the two of us to celebrate the new year, you can wear this one !"

Helped Meiniang to pull out all the hairpins, rings and jewelry from her head, combed her hair again, tied her hair in a bun with a blue ribbon, fastened the jade ring inlaid with beads, took off her gorgeous clothes, put on Qin Boqing's robe, and Using an eyebrow pencil to make her eyebrows thicker and straighter, when she stood up and looked at her, Feng couldn't help but praise in her heart: what a plump and handsome young man, compared to her elder brother Qin Boqing!

When Li'er came back, she also stared at Meiniang for a long time. Feng Shi was like this, and taught her to send a message to Aunt Lian. After taking out two cloaks, Qin Boqing tied Meiniang's and put on one for himself. Meiniang went to the bed again to look at her brother, touched his hand, and said:

"You wait, my sister will find you a miracle doctor and come back to treat your illness!"

Qin Boqing seemed to be conscious, his head suddenly swayed from side to side, Mei Niang quickly avoided, afraid that he would open his eyes and see her appearance, and then know their plan. According to his personality, he might be the same as Mrs. Qin, and would not let go. She went out.

Fortunately, Qin Boqing didn't wake up, moved a bit and fell asleep again.

Mei Niang came to help Feng Shi, Feng Shi said with tears: "In case your brother refuses..."

"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, I'm here! You just need to confess to brother Lian and sister-in-law Lian, and just keep your mouth shut!"

"You also have to go and come back quickly. I can't stop Mama Wang and the others within a few hours. I can tell you clearly, but I have no choice but to see you in person!"

"Mother's legs and feet are inconvenient, can someone carry her here? Let Cuixi make up a story with you to coax her, just say that since I got sick, I always take a nap for a long time, otherwise I will lose my temper Swear at people, so she will always believe it!"

While talking, he had already reached the back door, and saw Lian Da sitting on the shaft of the car, Lian's sister-in-law actually changed into a man's attire, and stood beside the car with Li Er, waiting, Feng stepped forward a few steps, and told Lian Da:

"Thirty miles outside the city, you are the most familiar, but you have to take good care of it, and don't make any mistakes. Go and come back!"

The honest and strong Lian Da jumped out of the car and said, "Don't worry, Grandma, I will take good care of Grandpa and come back soon!"

Sister-in-law Lian came over to help Meiniang get into the car, and Meiniang told Li'er: "Help grandma slowly, lie down and rest when you get back, don't move around anymore, remember to put charcoal in the room, don't let it get cold!"

Li'er agreed one by one, and Feng Shi watched as Lian's sister-in-law also climbed into the carriage, Lian Da flicked the whip, the small carriage quickly ran a dozen steps away, and disappeared around the corner, then went in, closed the back door, Go back to the room and make up lies to coax people not to mention it.
