Chapter 55: Know Your Own Limits
Mei Shu naturally obeyed Liang Weiyuan's orders unconditionally, and said with peace of mind: "The young lady's plan will definitely not go wrong."
Liang Weiyuan transferred a trustworthy person from the Marquis' Mansion to take over Jinxiu Pavilion, and it was dark when the matter was settled.
That night, there was no movement from the old lady's Shou'an Courtyard.
When Marquis Huo learned about this, he was so angry that he scolded Yu, who had been punished. In the end, he went to sleep in the study and did not come to Qingzhuyuan.
Everyone tacitly agreed with Liang Weiyuan's approach.
The next day, Liang Weiyuan massaged Huo Jinjian's body while slowly telling him what happened.
"The guild will come to list the cloth this afternoon. From now on, every piece of cloth sold by Jinxiu Pavilion will be accompanied by the guild's cloth inspection documents. This way, no one will ever insult the reputation of the Marquisate again."
Huo Jin saw that his expression showed no emotion, his straight nose had a cold curve, and only the corners of his lips rose slightly.
He wrote a few words on Liang Weiyuan's palm: "Well done."
Liang Weiyuan lowered her eyes, feeling good. She couldn't help but soften her voice, "Thanks to my husband's idea, Yu is now confined to her room, so she has to think carefully before doing anything."
Even if you want to take action against Huo Jinjian, it won't be that easy.
After finishing the massage, Liang Weiyuan called out.
Mei Shu immediately pushed a wheelchair in.
Huo Jin heard the creaking sound of the wooden axle.
"This is the wheelchair I ordered made yesterday. Divine Doctor Ye said that if you get half an hour of sun exposure every day during the Mao hour, it will help with blood circulation."
Liang Weiyuan explained and glanced at the square and hard sandalwood wheelchair.
She frowned and ordered, "This wheelchair might be uncomfortable to sit in. Bring some cushions and furs to cover it."
Mei Shu took the order and quickly took action, covering the wheelchair with a cushion and folding the fox fur into a pillow.
Feeling quite satisfied with this, Liang Weiyuan turned around, brushed her fingertips across Huo Jinjian's shoulders, and slowly helped him up.
Huo Jin felt her strength, and with his arms, he moved his large body to the wheelchair with a gentle but powerful effort.
"Hold on tight, my husband."
Her breath brushed past his ears, carrying a light and rich feminine scent. "It's windy in the yard, put this on first."
The brocade fur coat wrapped around his shoulders, and as the wheelchair slowly moved, sunlight suddenly shone on his face.
Huo Jin couldn't see anything, but he could feel the warmth of the light, and his heart suddenly became excited.
It was not the chill in the house, nor the scorching heat of the torches on the battlefield, but the real, warm early morning sun.
How long has it been since he felt this kind of warmth?
The next day after he regained consciousness, his wife thoughtfully prepared a wheelchair for him to bask in the sun.
Huo Jin felt his throat rolling and his whole body, including his heart, felt slightly hot.
Liang Weiyuan didn't notice him. Behind him, she squinted her eyes slightly and nodded, describing what she saw: "Today, there are three clouds that look like thick smoke."
"Hmm? The one on the west side looks exactly like a lion dog, which is also strange."
When Huo Jin heard Liang Weiyuan's surprised sound, he wanted to laugh, but the corners of his lips could only move slightly.
The woman's gentleness and attentiveness, the rustling of tree shadows, the whispers of maids in the distance, these long-lost worldly touches made him feel more at ease than any military exploits.
Liang Weiyuan happened to lower her eyes and saw the faint joy on Huo Jin's face when he relaxed his brows, and she knew that he was enjoying it very much.
Without another word, she stayed by his side, occasionally scooping up warm water with a silver spoon to gently moisten his sun-dried lips.
Outside the cave entrance, the old lady was holding Aunt Afu's hand and standing in the shadow of the bamboo. She looked at the scene and nodded slightly.
"Look at how attentive the eldest young master's wife is." Auntie Ah Fu lowered her voice, "She is taking good care of the eldest young master from the bottom of her heart."
The old lady said nothing, just looking at the well-matched couple in the yard. Liang Weiyuan did not forget to adjust the cushion on Huo Jinjian's wheelchair.
"In my entire life," the old lady chuckled, her Buddhist beads jingling softly in her palms, "I've never seen a new wife take such good care of her unconscious husband."
"Look at the clothes he's wearing. They're neat and tidy, more respectable than a nobleman, and his complexion is much rosier than yesterday. How can he look like a sick person?"
"The eldest young lady has a sense of propriety, and none of her subordinates look down on the eldest young master." said Aunt Ah Fu.
"Yesterday, people from the Second House wanted to send some snacks to Qingzhu Courtyard to inquire about this, but they were stopped by the maids, who said that the son-in-law couldn't eat outside food."
"Go in." The old lady nodded with satisfaction, coughed lightly, and walked forward with the help of her crutches.
Liang Weiyuan heard the noise and looked over, and saw the figures of the old lady and Aunt Afu.
The old lady wore a crimson brocade cape today, and her silver hair was combed meticulously.
"Grandma." Liang Weiyuan walked over and bowed, but was stopped by the old lady.
"Don't be so polite." The old lady patted her hand. "I've been watching you for a long time. You're more thoughtful than the lamps in front of the Buddha in my room."
The sunlight fell on the old lady's face, illuminating the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes clearly, but she looked more vigorous than before.
"Afu, take the things out." The old lady turned around and ordered.
