Xie Jing looked at Yu Tanqi, who looked ready to die, with amusement, "You're not feeling well. It won't hurt to drink more medicine."
Yu Tanqi frowned and said, "But this medicine is really bitter."
Xie Jing whispered, "Good medicine tastes bitter. Drink the medicine obediently, and then have some candied fruit to sweeten your taste."
The boy was not good at coaxing people, and his words were a little stiff. After a pause, he reached out and picked up the medicine bowl: "I'll feed you the medicine."
Yu Tanqi sighed and said, "I'll drink it myself."
Feeding him mouthful by mouthful is like torture. It would be better to just swallow it in one gulp and end the torture quickly.
Yu Tanqi took the medicine from Xie Jing's hand, pinched her nose, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and inexplicably felt a sense of tragic grandeur as if she were drinking the beheading wine.
Xie Jing's gaze fell on the exposed part of her slender, snow-white neck, and his eyes sank slightly.
Yu Tanqi put down the bowl and covered her lips with her hands to prevent herself from spitting out the embarrassment. "Well, give me the candied fruit quickly."
Taohua quickly handed over a plate of fresh preserves that exuded a sweet aroma, "Miss."
Yu Tanqi grabbed two and put them in her mouth. The bitterness between her lips and teeth was washed away by the sweetness. She said with tears in her eyes, "It's so good to be healthy."
Xie Jing nodded, looked at her and said, "So you must take your medicine on time and take good care of yourself."
As serious and old-fashioned as an old scholar.
Yu Tanqi didn't want to hear the word "take medicine" anymore, so she changed the subject: "Cousin Jing, I prepared gifts for everyone. It's just right that you're here. Please help bring back the gifts for my aunt and the others."
"good."
Although Xie Jing would go to the capital with them, Yu Tanqi still gave him the gift she bought for him, no matter if it was early or late.
After the three branches of the Xie family received Yu Tanqi's gifts, they all knew that she was about to leave the Xie family and go to the capital, and they were all reluctant to let her go.
They all knew that perhaps Yu Tanqi would leave Chenjun this time, and they didn’t know when they would see each other again.
The cousins came to see her together, bringing things they had made themselves as farewell gifts.
Xie Shishan sighed, "I didn't expect you to leave Chenjun. I was hoping you'd get me married. Now that we're apart, I don't know when we'll meet again."
Xie Shishan is the eldest granddaughter of the Xie family. The Xie family has not yet split up. Generally speaking, she has to get married first before her younger sisters can get married.
Yu Tanqi is my cousin, but she lives in the Xie family and is no different from a lady from the same family.
"The capital is not too far from Chenjun, and we can communicate frequently. If cousin Shishan is engaged, please write to tell me when you are going to get married. I will definitely return to Chenjun in advance to see you off." Yu Tanqi said with a smile.
Xie Shiqing, the second wife's daughter, deliberately asked, "Sister Tanqi only communicates with my eldest sister? What about when we get married?"
"I'll be back when you get married."
"That's more like it."
The sisters' laughter and joy dispelled some of the sadness of the impending separation.
The sky is high and blue, with white clouds floating gently.
A refreshing and pleasant breeze blew by, and the branches of the tall and straight pear tree stretched out lush and crystal flowers. The young man stood under the pear tree, and the flowers fell on him, which was as poetic as a picture.
Jiang Shi looked at Yu Tanqi and her sisters talking and laughing, and curled his lips slightly.
Yu Tanqi seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at him.
The young man was dressed in an elegant long gown, with a slender figure and picturesque features. He stood under a pear tree, with white petals falling. He seemed like a god among flowers, with an unparalleled appearance and grace.
Yu Tanqi held her breath slightly. The beautiful scene before her would be unforgettable for her whole life.
Xie Shishan followed her gaze and saw Jiang Shi, and said with a smile: "Prince Jiang is here too."
Jiang Shi walked in slowly and said, "I have come uninvited. I hope I have not disturbed the ladies' interest."
Xie Shiqing was lively and said with a smile, "You've come at the perfect time. We were just discussing what happened after Sister Tan Qi went to the capital with you. Prince Jiang, our sister Tan Qi loves you deeply. If you dare to bully her, or let her be bullied, we sisters will not let you off easily."
Jiang Shi quickly bowed and said, "Please rest assured, sisters, I will protect Miss Yu for the rest of her life and will never let anyone bully her."
The boy's voice was gentle and resounding.
He was born with a unique and handsome appearance, and his serious and gentle appearance was affectionate and firm, making people lose their minds in a trance.
Yu Tanqi was the first to come to her senses and asked the servants to bring a stool over. "Prince Jiang, please sit down."
Jiang Shi smiled, looked at her and said, "I won't sit down. I came here today just to see Miss Yu. Miss Yu is having a good time with her sisters, so I won't disturb her."
After he left, the girls of the Xie family came back to their senses as if they had woken up from a dream.
Xie Shiqing couldn't help but sigh, "I originally thought that Big Brother and Master Chi were both unparalleled beauties, but I never imagined that Master Jiang's demeanor was not inferior to them at all, and even slightly surpassed them."
Xie Shiyue, the daughter of the third house, nodded in agreement: "Prince Jiang is truly gentle and truly cares for Sister Tan Qi."
Xie Jing and Chi Li were both famous young men in Chen County. They were talented and good-looking, and were known as the "Three Wonders of Chen County" together with Su Ji.
Under the brilliance of the "Three Wonders of Chen County", many men were eclipsed.
The girls of the Xie family once laughed and sighed, "Two of the three best men in Chen County are interested in Sister Tan Qi, and the remaining one is always frivolous. I guess we sisters will have to look for husbands outside of Chen County in the future."
Of course, Yu Tanqi was not present when they were joking, so Yu Tanqi still thought that Xie Jing was a simple cousin who cared about his cousin.
Xie Shishan looked at Yu Tanqi with some worry.
As her cousin, she naturally hopes that her cousin and her husband will love each other and have a smooth life.
Prince Jiang also seems to be a good match.
What about her brother?
All the men in the Xie family are infatuated. Their grandparents supported each other all their lives, their father and mother lived in harmony, and Xie Jing once confided his feelings to her over wine.
"I love my sister Tanqi. I will never see any other woman except her in this life."
Her brother, who seemed cold and aloof, was actually extremely paranoid and infatuated. Even though he knew that his sister Tan Qi was going to the capital with Prince Jiang, he did not give up and insisted on going with her under the pretext that the Spring Examination was approaching.
Xie Shishan sighed.
I just hope they are all safe and sound in the end, it doesn’t matter who is with whom.
…
On March 1st, Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi set off for Beijing.
Only then did Yu Tanqi and the Xie family realize that the magnificent carriage that Jiang Shichu drove to Chenjun was specially prepared for Yu Tanqi.
Although Jiang Shi is the only one left in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion now, in the past, Marquis of Wu'an and his wife were the most famous people in the capital. They received many gifts from the emperor and empress, and this carriage was one of them, demonstrating the honor of Marquis of Wu'an.
Although Jiang Shi came on horseback, he was not in good health, so he got into a carriage when he left. Xie Jing, who was with him, rode in the same carriage.
