The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

729 Chapter 2 - I'm so worried about my life ([-])
Qingyang, Qinghao and Luo Xiaorong gathered around Zhou Boyan's bedside, spoke comforting words for a while, and ran to talk to his sister together.

Knowing that Zhou Boyan didn't suffer from a serious illness, but typhoid fever, Qing Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.She told Qingyang and the three of them, "My brother needs to rest, don't disturb my brother's recuperation. You can visit the doctor every day, but you can't stay for too long."

The three agreed, and stayed with their sister to play all morning, and practiced calligraphy for a while, and didn't go anywhere.

When it was time for lunch, Qingshu made a few light meals, put them in the food basket, and handed them to Xiaojuan to carry.She went back to the house and changed her clothes, and took Qingyang and the others to visit the sick.

At this time, Zhou Boyan was sitting at the table with his clothes on, preparing to have lunch.

Qingshu entered the room, took a look at him, and brought out a bowl of egg drop soup, a bowl of skin jelly mixed with juice, a bowl of soft boiled red bean and white rice porridge, and a plate of fried mushrooms from the food basket. Serve with food from the kitchen.The food she brought was relatively easy to swallow, which was specially made in consideration of his sore throat.

When we met last night, the light from the lantern was not good, and she couldn't see his face clearly.Now that I can see clearly, I realize that his complexion is not good.Also, even though he was smiling when he saw her, she felt a hint of sadness between his brows.No, to be precise, it should be the color of loneliness.What's wrong?Going out for a trip, did something bad happen?
"...Ashu, I'm fine, Ashu, Ashu..."

"...Sister, what's wrong with you? Sister..."

Qingshu suddenly came back to her senses, seeing Zhou Boyan's concerned eyes and the eager expressions of Qingyang and the other three, she realized belatedly that she was actually stunned.She hummed in embarrassment, and urged Zhou Boyan, "The food is getting cold, eat it while it's hot. Eat more, and you'll recover sooner." Without waiting for Zhou Boyan to say anything, she turned around and left, passing by Luo Xiaorong. The next sentence, "Stay with brother for a while before going back, sister will warm up the food and wait for you to share."

The door opened and closed, but Zhou Boyan's call failed to stop Qingshu's footsteps.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.When it was dark, Qing Shu had just had dinner and was sitting under the oil lamp flipping through the books on the table.

Xiaoyu took off the lampshade, picked out the lamp wick a few times, then cut off a little bit of the wick with scissors, and then put the lampshade back on.

Qing Shu raised her eyes, "You three, go and eat!" This is the rule, it is the turn of the servants to eat after the master has eaten, and all of them have to eat in the dining hall set up in the kitchen yard, one dining hall for men, one for women and children a canteen.However, when there are special circumstances in the mansion, this rule does not need to be strictly followed, and the housekeeper or steward will make temporary adjustments.She would occasionally let her maids eat with her.

After hearing what the master said, Xiaoyu said, "Miss, let Xiaojuan and Lichun go first, and then go as servants when they come back." Normally, the three maidservants have to take turns to eat.Yesterday was Xiaojuan's stay, and today it's her turn to stay.Lichun is still young, she and Xiaojuan never let Lichun stay.This Lichun is none other than the daughter of the cook Xu Sanniang, Xiaoya.

Qing Shu feels that she has nothing to do now, and there is no need to keep a maid by her side.So she waved her hand, meaning to tell Xiaoyu and the others to leave quickly, without saying much.

Seeing that the master is like this, no matter whether it is Xiaoyu or Xiaojuan, I dare not have any objection.The two of them took Lichun out, closed the door and went to the kitchen for dinner.

Qingshu gave Xiaoya a nickname, Lichun.She had already made up her mind that she would train eight capable maidservants.The names are arranged according to Lichun, Lixia, Liqiu, Lidong and vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox and winter solstice.Now Lichun has it, and it is Xiaoya.There is also Lixia, chosen from among the little girls that Mama Su is training.Candidates for Liqiu, Lidong and vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox and winter solstice are still waiting for selection.

She prepared the four maidservants of Lizi generation for herself.The vernal equinox and autumnal equinox are for Qing Hao, and the summer solstice and winter solstice are for Qing Yang.To prepare maids for Qing Hao and Qingyang, naturally, it is not to prepare maids for them, but to prepare competent, trustworthy and first-class maids for them.In the future, if these four servant girls can stand the test and reach the age, they will be married to be the maids in charge, and then they will stay with Qing Hao and Qing Yang to do errands.In addition to the maid, there is no shortage of servants for the younger brother, especially when they go out in a year or two to embark on the road of studying and broadening their horizons.

She herself is going to marry sooner or later, and even if she still takes care of her younger brothers, there will always be times when she is beyond her reach.She had to make plans early to train her younger brothers to be competent servants in the future.There are housekeeper Gu and mother Su taking care of her, so she can feel relieved.

After closing the book, she stood up from the chair and walked slowly in the room.She felt that she was a worrying person, not only worrying about her younger brother, but also worrying about her future husband Zhou Boyan.When he came back this time, he was not in the right state, and he didn't know what happened to him!
There seemed to be a slight noise in the courtyard.She didn't think much about it, just took it as the wind, and continued to walk around the room slowly, taking it all to digest.Until a muffled cough came to her ears, which seemed to be from a man, she was startled, "Who is outside?" She asked loudly, while quickly scanning the surroundings, trying to get something to defend herself.

"It's me." Zhou Boyan, who had already entered the courtyard and walked outside Qingshu's door, said.He frowned unconsciously at this moment, feeling dissatisfied with Qingshu's maid in his heart.He had been standing in the courtyard for a while, but none of Qingshu's maids noticed that a man broke into the women's inner courtyard.These maidservants are too careless to do things, and their vigilance is even weaker.If it wasn't for him coughing loudly, who knows when he will find out that a man has broken in?

In winter, the doors and windows are closed to keep out the cold, especially Qingshu has done enough work to keep out the cold.Therefore, the voice coming into the room sounded a bit vague, but she probably recognized Zhou Boyan's voice.In this way, she didn't want to take self-defense anymore, so she walked over quickly, opened and rolled up the thick curtain inside the door, pushed the sliding door open, and then lifted the thick curtain outside, and complained, "No Take good care of your illness, why did you come here?"

Zhou Boyan was wearing thick clothes, and on his head was the hat that Gu Shitou insisted that he wear.He ignored Qing Shu's complaints, wondering why Qing Shu opened the door, but asked calmly, "It's cold outside, are you going to invite me in?"

Qingshu probed to see the courtyard, only Zhou Boyan was alone. "Come in!" Her tone was not very good, but she couldn't hide the concern between her brows and eyes, she backed away and let her go out.

Zhou Boyan entered the room and quickly closed the sliding door.

Qing Shu put down the thick curtain on the inner layer, walked towards the burning stove, and was about to pick up the kettle that had just boiled, "Go and sit at the table, I'll make you a bowl of honey water to warm your body."
