Chapter 84 Accident
Gu Yanqing tightened his hands at his side, then loosened them.
Judging from Hongniang's appearance, she probably doesn't have any serious business to do.
"My wife just went out. I'll go look for her." He looked outside with concern.
"You don't know those shop owners, so I'll go..."
Hongniang gathered her sleeves and looked at Gu Yanqing meaningfully.
When this sickly person gets tired again, we will have to free up someone to take care of him.
"You supervise Sui Sui and Huan Huan's calligraphy practice at home."
Hongniang glanced suggestively towards the side room.
Suisui and Huanhuan were looking over here curiously. When they saw Gu Yanqing looking at them, they were not afraid, but ran towards him.
"Dad, my brother and I have completed the homework you assigned."
The two children blinked their eyes expectantly, obviously wanting to go out and play.
The children are still young, so Gu Yanqing is not too demanding on them.
He looked at the two little kids with a gentle expression.
"I'll send someone to follow my sister, nothing will go wrong."
Before Hong Niang finished her words, the secret guard beside her appeared and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
The two children were holding his hands and walking towards the study, and the first thing they saw were two desks, one tall and one short.
The two large characters were neatly placed on the table next to the desk.
Next to it was a copy of calligraphy written by Gu Yanqing for Suisui and Huanhuan to refer to.
"Daddy, please look."
As soon as they entered the study, the two children became respectful, folded their hands in front of them, and stood upright beside the desk.
He was just like a student waiting for his teacher to check his homework, quietly waiting for Gu Yanqing's criticism and correction.
Looking at the works on the slightly low table, the brushwork is also immature, and every stroke of the characters can be seen with care.
Huanhuan was different. Her handwriting was crooked and she even drew a small flower at the end.
Noticing this, Gu Yanqing raised the corners of his eyes, so cute!
But he looked serious and commented solemnly: "Sui Sui's progress is obvious, Huan Huan..."
His deliberate pause made Huanhuan's nervous little face wrinkle. She just stared at him, waiting for the next words.
"There's no clear distinction between calligraphy and painting. Huanhuan has realized this at such a young age. She's truly talented!"
There was a smile in the corner of his eyes. After all, Huanhuan was still young and very talented. He just needed more guidance.
"Daddy, my brother said that I wasn't concentrating on my writing, so I will definitely be scolded today!" Huanhuan pouted, hugged Gu Yanqing's legs and acted coquettishly, and glanced at Suisui proudly, as if showing off.
Humph, she is also very powerful!
Touched by the cute little kid, Gu Yanqing rubbed Huanhuan's head and did not ignore Suisui.
"Have you memorized today's Thousand Characters?"
The two little kids nodded eagerly, looking proud: "After Daddy told me yesterday, I remembered it in my mind."
Suisui looked at Gu Yanqing with even more admiration, thinking that his father was indeed a great hero.
He wants to be an upright official like his father in the future!
"Daddy." Suisui stretched out her little hand, took hold of the corner of his clothes, and shook it slowly, her eyes flickering and full of anticipation.
"Hmm?" Gu Yanqing lowered his head slightly, looking at the nervous little kid beside him, his expression softened. "What's the matter, Sui Sui?"
He always has a stern face, like a little adult, and rarely acts like a spoiled brat in front of her like Huanhuan does.
Today is a little unusual.
"Mother said that you would find a martial arts master for me. I want to learn martial arts from Suisui." He raised his head, his eyes clear and firm, which did not belong to his age.
Dad has told him a lot of things these days, and Suisui already has his own ideas in his heart.
Not only did he have to be a good official like his father, he also had to protect his mother and sister. However, he could do nothing and couldn't even beat a stone.
"Daddy is still looking for you, don't worry."
Gu Yanqing knew that this child was getting stuck in a rut.
Although the wound on his forehead has healed, the shadow in his heart has not disappeared.
"Sui Sui protects his sister and daddy, he's such a real man!"
For children, what they desire most is the affirmation of the people they admire.
Hearing this, Sui Sui subconsciously straightened his back.
Dad just said that real men are upright and honest.
"Don't think too much and play with your sister more." He was heartbroken.
He shouldn't have to bear all this at such a young age.
He had been wandering around with me all this time, and his mind had become more sensitive. He also had a stubborn personality...
It seems that I need to pay more attention to Suisui's situation in the future.
"Brother, Mom bought me a new toy yesterday. I want to show it to you!" When Huanhuan heard that they could go play, she pulled Suisui and ran out with a bright smile.
The young boy with a tense face was reluctantly dragged out by his sister, and the little girl's laughter was floating in the air.
The sun gradually set, and people drove their carriages and horses back home, but some people rushed to the inner city regardless of everything.
Shen Jinan returned home after shopping, and the family was having dinner when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Doctor Shen! Something happened, Doctor Shen!" Chen Da slammed the door of the yard, feeling flustered.
"What happened?" Shen Jinan opened the door and found that it was Chen Da. He looked a little surprised and said, "Tell me slowly."
He was covered in sweat and dusty from the long journey, and finally arrived in the inner city at sunset.
"Aunt Chen is ill, and the village chief asked me to ask you to go back and treat her."
He took a few deep breaths, his tone rapid and filled with worry, "I don't know what happened. I suddenly started coughing up blood today, and I look listless."
"I see. Go back and tell the village chief first. I'll get the medicine box and come right after."
Shen Jinan turned around and went back to the house. Gu Yanqing was still eating and looked at her questioningly.
"Auntie is sick, I have to go back and see what's going on."
She hurriedly explained to Hong Niangzi, then looked at Sui Sui Huan Huan, "How about going back with mother to find Brother Hu Zi today?"
It was getting dark and the inner city was about to be locked.
Shen Jinan was a little worried and let the three of them live here.
"Great!" Huanhuan was the first to applaud.
He jumped down from the stool and ran into the room.
When he came out again, there was an extra small package.
"Let's go."
Gu Yanqing put down his chopsticks and stood beside her, feeling Shen Jinan’s anxiety.
This is a matter of life and death and cannot be delayed.
Before Hongniang could react, several people quickly packed up their things and got on the carriage to rush back to the village.
She put down her chopsticks, feeling a little annoyed. How could she eat this?
There were candles burning in the village chief's house. From the yard, the candlelight flickered, as if indicating something.
After all, an ox cart cannot match the speed of a horse carriage.
She got off the carriage and ran straight to Chen's bed with her medicine box.
Chen's face was pale, as if it would break at the slightest touch, and the corners of her mouth were faintly red.
Even the handkerchief on the bedside had blood stains on it.
