"Girl, I have to go to the prefectural government office tonight," Chen Qingxuan said to Ah Chou as he straightened his clothes, "I'll be back soon. By the way, I'll go pick up grandma tomorrow morning. By then, she will definitely give you a lot of wedding candies and eggs to eat."
He originally didn't want to go to the Lantern Festival dinner at the prefectural government office, but a few days ago, the prefect Fang's handwritten invitation arrived. Naturally, he couldn't refuse to go.
"That's for sure. Before she left, Grandma Chen told me that she would definitely bring me lots of wedding candies and eggs when she comes back this time. They're all mine. But there's nothing for you, hehe." Ah Chou poked his little head out of the room and said to Chen Qingxuan with a smile, "Oh. Go do your thing. Don't worry about me. Just don't drink too much. Grandma Chen said you drank too much last time. You're hard to please."
"Got it, I won't drink a single sip today." Chen Qingxuan looked at the pair of dark eyes, and his heart was warm, but he also felt an indescribable pain. He looked away, put on his cloak, and said to Ah Chou, "Don't eat too much at night. When I come back, I'll bring you something delicious."
"Hey! Thank you, Mr. Chen." Achou agreed crisply.
"Okay, go in, I'm leaving now," Chen Qingxuan waved to Ah Chou and walked towards the door. He stopped after taking two steps and looked back at Ah Chou, "The medicine has been boiled. It will be ready in half an hour. Remember to drink it."
"Oh," Ah Chou nodded, looking at Chen Qingxuan with a look of hesitation, "Mr. Chen..."
"What's wrong?" Chen Qingxuan asked.
"What can I do to get better?" Ah Chou asked, blinking his eyes, with an expression of urgency that he could not hide. "I think I'm already well. I don't have headaches or coughs these days. I'm stronger than before. I think I'm fine. But why do I still need to take medicine? I still can't go out?"
"Whether the disease is cured or not is not up to you to decide. It depends on the doctor's approval." Chen Qingxuan's face looked a little unhappy, and his voice became a little heavy. "Go back to your room quickly, take the medicine carefully, and don't go anywhere."
"Yes." Ah Chou felt indescribable loss and frustration in his heart, but he finally obediently went back to his room and closed the door.
Chen Qingxuan looked at the tightly closed door and sighed silently. He shook his head in a self-deprecating manner and walked out slowly. What did he want? Could he lock this girl in that small room for the rest of her life? Or could he keep her heart?
What on earth is he thinking about?
Chen Qingxuan slapped his head hard, then pushed the door and went out.
As soon as he stepped down the stairs, Chen Qingxuan was stunned. In front of the fence, under the bare birch tree, Kong Wenmin was standing with his hands behind his back. The snow had stopped today, but in the evening, a few snowflakes began to fall again. The snow was really small, but Kong Wenmin's body was already white. It was obvious that this person had been standing there for a long time.
"Why are you here?" Chen Qingxuan walked up to Kong Wenmin and asked with a frown. He really hated this rude military general with strong limbs. He had hated him before, and he became even more annoyed after he forced him to drink without caring about anything in the prefectural yamen that day.
Kong Wenmin was also very annoyed with him. Thinking about how Miss Fang had asked him to pick up Kong Wenmin early in the afternoon and the shyness on the girl's face that was difficult to conceal, Kong Wenmin's eyes were about to spit fire.
"I'm here to pick up Mr. Chen for the banquet on the orders of the young lady," Kong Wenmin said calmly. He turned around and untied the reins from the tree, patted the snow off the horse, and looked at Chen Qingxuan sarcastically. "Mr. Chen, please get in the car quickly. In such weather, what will happen if Mr. Chen gets frozen to death?"
"Okay, okay," Chen Qingxuan looked at Kong Wenmin calmly, and said slowly, "You're not afraid of the cold, just drink a few sips of wine, right? Guard Kong, don't you agree? Otherwise, I'll go back and get you a jar of Shaodaozi?"
Kong Wenmin's face suddenly turned dark, and he naturally remembered the embarrassing moment he made when he was drunk that day. It was inevitable that he lost face in front of Chen Qingxuan. He wanted to taunt Chen Qingxuan, but he found that he could not find any words to shut up this sharp-tongued scholar. He ignored Chen Qingxuan, snorted coldly, and turned to get on the carriage.
Chen Qingxuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and got into the carriage slowly. However, before he could sit down, the carriage sped away and not surprisingly, he fell into the carriage with a thump.
