Chapter 581: Surprise
Fan Wenxuan, in particular, was shocked when he saw Chu Jinnian and Zhuang Qingning coming back together.
Chu Jin wrote to me some time ago, saying that he was going to Lu to suppress bandits, so it would take a long time for him to come back.
Zhuang Qingning also went out for something, and even asked him and Chu Jinzhou to visit Zhuang Qingsui during the Dragon Boat Festival. Fan Wenxuan originally thought that Zhuang Qingning must be doing something very important.
So, looking at the situation now, did Zhuang Qingning help Chu Jin to suppress the bandits before the New Year? Didn't he agree not to be a staff member?
Fan Wenxuan stared at Chu Jinnian, "Master, I have something to ask you."
I want to ask him why he goes back on his word now, after all we said so well at the beginning.
"If you have anything to say, Mr. Fan, please wait a while. The eldest master and Miss Zhuang have been traveling for two consecutive days. They set out early in the morning today and have not eaten anything yet. The poison in the eldest master's body has not yet been cleared, so it is difficult for him to talk on an empty stomach."
Jing Zhao reminded.
"The eldest son was poisoned?"
"Brother was poisoned?"
Fan Wenxuan and Chu Jinzhou both exclaimed.
"The bandits in Lu were fierce and treacherous. In order to save the Fourth Prince, the eldest son was injured by the bandit leader and was poisoned. The famous doctors around him were helpless. The eldest son was about to die from hammering. Fortunately, Miss Zhuang arrived in time and saved his life."
Jing Zhao answered truthfully, "The eldest master is coming back this time to rest at home for a while."
"I'm glad that you're okay, big brother." Chu Jinzhou patted his chest as if he had just survived a disaster. "It's all thanks to Sister Ning. Jinzhou thanks Sister Ning for saving big brother's life."
After saying that, he bowed to Zhuang Qingning in a very proper manner.
"Jinzhou, you're too polite. It's all I should do." Zhuang Qingning smiled and helped Chu Jinzhou.
Chu Jinnian, who was standing by, couldn't help but touch his nose when he heard this.
That's true. It's right to save your fiancé.
"I see." Fan Wenxuan roughly understood what happened and hurriedly ordered Ban Qing and others to prepare meals.
A quarter of an hour later, several people sat at the table in the flower hall and enjoyed a rich and delicious lunch.
The West Lake vinegar fish tasted great, the grilled lamb chops were tender and juicy, and the other dishes were all very delicate and delicious. Several people had empty stomachs, so they feasted on them.
"Eat more." Chu Jinnian picked up a piece of fish and gave it to Zhuang Qingning.
"Yeah." Zhuang Qingning was not polite at all.
"I remember you said this ham tastes delicious, so eat more."
"Almond lily, it is very good for relieving summer heat, and it tastes good too."
“…”
Soon, Zhuang Qingning's bowl was full, like a small hill.
The table was filled with dishes that he quite liked. Now that he didn't have to bother with picking up dishes, Zhuang Qingning just had to concentrate on eating.
Seeing this, Chu Jinnian picked some dishes and ate his own.
Jing Zhao had already gotten used to all this during this period of time, and was calm at this moment, while Chu Jinzhou and others at the dinner table all raised their eyebrows slightly.
In the past, Chu Jinnian was the only one who picked up food for Chu Jinzhou at the dinner table, but now he picked up food for Zhuang Qingning, and only for her.
But after all, it was a life-saving favor, so let alone picking up food for me, I should even cook the food.
A few people thought this way and felt it was natural, so they stopped thinking about it.
After the meal, Zhuang Qingning thought about how she had been away from home for nearly a month, and wanted to see how things were going everywhere, so she asked Jing Zhao to take her back first.
"Can't you stay with me a little longer?" Chu Jinnian tugged at Zhuang Qingning's sleeve and started to act coquettishly like a twirling candy.
"You need to rest now." Zhuang Qingning twisted Chu Jinnian's black and shiny hair that fell on his shoulders, "I will come to accompany you after I am done with these two days."
Seeing Zhuang Qingning's insistence, Chu Jinnian had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, but you must come to accompany me. I'm a patient now."
Patients can rightfully demand care and concern.
"A ruddy-faced patient." Zhuang Qingning tapped his forehead and chuckled, "Okay, stop making trouble. I'm leaving now. Remember to take this medicine on time. Just as I said, three times a day, fifteen minutes after a meal, three pills each time."
Zhuang Qingning handed the white porcelain bottle containing the detoxification pills to Chu Jinnian, stroked his bony fingers, and called out to Jing Zhao who was waiting outside.
It really doesn't even give me the chance to be sick of you.
Chu Jinnian sighed silently in his heart, stood up and sent Zhuang Qingning to the carriage. He watched the carriage go away, then turned back and entered the study.
In the study, Fan Wenxuan was already waiting for him.
"Young Master, what is the matter that has brought you here to see me?" While Fan Wenxuan was speaking, he was flipping through the various boxes on the table. In the end, he found that there were no snacks or other food made by Zhuang Qingning that had been hidden away by Chu Jinnian. He was immediately very disappointed and had to sit back on the stool.
"Just before dinner, the gentleman seemed to say he had something to say to me."
Chu Jinnian sat down, estimated that the time was about right, poured out three detoxification pills from the white porcelain bottle, and swallowed them with the warm water on the table.
"Actually, it's nothing." Fan Wenxuan scratched his ear.
Just now, he had misunderstood, but he was not in a position to say it out loud now, otherwise it would seem that he was too stupid.
"Oh." Chu Jinnian raised his eyelids, "But I do have something I want to talk about..."
"Brother, you're looking for me." Chu Jinzhou walked in at this time.
"It's a good thing you're here." Chu Jinnian raised his hand and motioned Chu Jinzhou to sit down beside him. "I have something to talk to you and Mr. Fan about."
"That's what big brother said." Chu Jinzhou raised his little face.
"You probably don't know about this. I only found out about it recently. My mother had arranged a marriage for me, but she only allowed me to marry her after she reached the age of 15." Chu Jinnian said.
"But I have also met this girl, and we are very much in love with each other, so I also plan to follow my mother's wishes and marry her after she reaches the age of 15."
Fan Wenxuan and Chu Jinzhou looked at each other.
This is indeed quite unexpected.
But from what Chu Jinnian said, they are of the same mind, so this seems to be a very good idea.
Chu Jinzhou was very happy that Chu Jinnian would get married and he would have a sister-in-law soon. He just bowed and said, "This is a happy event. I should congratulate you, big brother."
"Congratulations, young master." Fan Wenxuan also agreed, but he felt a little emotional in his heart.
He never thought that even Chu Jinnian, whom he thought would be a single dog for the rest of his life, nodded and agreed to get married. Time really flies.
But to be honest, he once thought about bringing Zhuang Qingning and Chu Jinnian together so that Chu Jinnian could divert some of his attention away from Chu Jinzhou and him.
