When Grandma Chen came out of the room, Chen Qingxuan had already washed up, and when he saw Grandma Chen coming out, he hurriedly asked, "Grandma, how is that girl?"
"She was sleeping soundly, so I didn't want to wake her up." Grandma Chen said, while she was drinking Chen Qingxuan and sitting down at the dining table. "But I saw that the girl looked better than yesterday."
"That's good," Chen Qingxuan nodded, and drank two mouthfuls of porridge. He frowned and said, "I just don't know how that person is doing. Should I ask a doctor to come over and see his injury today? I don't know how the injury on his leg is doing."
Grandma Chen was startled: "Are you talking about Ah Chou's uncle?"
"Grandma, I think he is probably not Ah Chou's uncle." Chen Qingxuan didn't know how to tell Grandma Chen this, so he ate his meal while mumbling. "He is not that old. He is at most 30 years old. How can there be a niece as old as Ah Chou? Don't call me uncle anymore."
"If not my uncle, who else could it be? Could it be the master and the maid?" Grandma Chen disagreed. "If it was really the master and the maid, why would he be in such a hurry to send Ah Chou down the mountain in the middle of the night? It must be a relative who would risk his life like this."
"The people you're willing to risk your life for may not necessarily be your relatives..." Chen Qingxuan muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?" Grandma Chen asked with a frown, not listening carefully.
"Oh, I said I would go up the mountain today to see if there is anything I can help with." Chen Qingxuan said hurriedly.
"You have to go and help. After all, he is Ah Chou's uncle, you have to behave well in front of him. Such good opportunities are rare," said Grandma Chen with a smile, pointing at the door with chopsticks, and whispered to Chen Qingxuan, "As soon as the girl recovers from her illness, Grandma will go up the mountain to propose marriage for you..."
"Grandma!" Chen Qingxuan didn't know what to say. He frowned and said to Grandma Chen, "Grandma, I've said it before that the girl and I are just siblings. If you keep forcing it, I'll be angry."
"You kid, isn't grandma doing this for your own good?" Grandma Chen was also angry. She put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and said with a sullen face, "There is no girl I like that you like. Since you don't like that girl, grandma has never forced you. But don't you like this girl? You usually take care of her. You have never been so attentive to anyone. Now grandma also thinks this girl is very good, but you are not good at this or that. What are you thinking? What's wrong with Ah Chou? Why is she not worthy of you, a poor scholar without parents?"
"Grandma! If you say so, I really have nothing to say!" Chen Qingxuan was really angry. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up the cotton robe on the chair and put it on, went back to the room to get the medicine box, and then walked out angrily. But as soon as he opened the door, he bumped into Kong Wenmin who was about to knock on the door. Both of them were stunned.
"Guard Kong, why are you here again?" Chen Qingxuan frowned and looked at Kong Wenmin who was standing outside the door with a look of impatience.
"Do you think I want to come?" Kong Wenmin was naturally not in a good mood. He looked at Chen Qingxuan with a dark face, paused, and said in a deep voice, "The prefect is holding a banquet at his house and asked you to come over to the banquet."
"Do I have to go?" Chen Qingxuan frowned even more. He was still thinking about going up the mountain to see if he could help in any way. Why would he be willing to go to a banquet?
"What do you think?" Kong Wenmin's face became even uglier. He glanced at Chen Qingxuan, then turned around and walked out.
Chen Qingxuan had no choice but to go back to his room and put down the medicine box. He said to Grandma Chen, "Grandma, I'm going to the prefect's house. The medicine has been boiled. It should be ready in half an hour. When the time comes, you can just pour it out and feed it to the girl."
"Okay, got it," Grandma Chen frowned and looked at Chen Qingxuan, "Don't get drunk anymore."
"Got it." Chen Qingxuan waved his hand and followed Kong Wenmin out the door.
…
"What? Is there someone at home?" After leaving the fenced courtyard, Kong Wenmin stopped, turned around, looked at Chen Qingxuan coldly, and said sarcastically, "No wonder you are always reluctant to go to the prefectural government office. If you are reluctant, you should be frank about it. On the one hand, you have the dirty thoughts of currying favor with the prefect, and on the other hand, you are eager to keep a beautiful woman at home. Mr. Chen, your wishful thinking is very clever."
