Xia Tian asked Second Madam Shen Rui how the spring examination went.
The Second Madam smiled immediately, "Your third brother said he did quite well in the exam."
After saying that, she changed the subject and took her hand. "Xia girl, Second Aunt owes you a big favor this time. If you hadn't given your third brother this pill, he would have been infected with cholera a long time ago and wouldn't have been able to take the exam."
Thinking back to how the servant Shen Rui was the first to be infected with cholera, and then people in the yard were infected one after another, the situation at that time was so terrifying that no one would not feel their scalp tingling.
She was so worried about Shen Rui that she couldn't eat or sleep well.
This was an epidemic. Fortunately, Marquis Wu'an brought medicine and the condition gradually improved.
There was also what Shen Rui said after he came back from the exam. Many students in the Imperial Academy were infected, and they suffered from severe vomiting and diarrhea. Some fainted and were carried out directly. The exam was considered over.
It is still unclear whether he can save his life!
When Chen Rui came back and told her about it, she was terrified!
Shen Rui himself came back with weak legs.
Then when he came back and heard that his servant was the first one in the Marquis's mansion to fall ill, his face turned pale with fright.
Only then did the Second Madam truly feel the effect of the two pills that Xia Tian gave to Shen Rui.
If it weren't for that medicine, Shen Rui would probably be in danger.
What's the point of taking an exam?
"Second Aunt, you're too polite. This just shows that my third brother is lucky. He discovered it before the exam, and then he got better after taking the medicine. There's nothing wrong with him." Xia Tian replied with a giggle.
The Second Madam really likes her more and more. This girl is not only thorough in her work, but also speaks nicely.
To attribute her own achievements to Shen Rui's good fortune just hit the spot.
What mother can stand others praising her son?
However, although the Second Madam was happy, she still had to express her gratitude. "You, don't erase your own contribution. Second Aunt knows it very well. After this is over, Second Aunt will personally cook for you."
"Then I'll be waiting."
"Well, that's a must. Although Second Aunt's cooking skills are not as good as yours, Second Aunt's cooking skills are not bad either."
Although her cooking skills may not be very good, Xia Tian must feel her sincerity.
The two talked for a while before the second lady remembered that she still had to deliver medicine to her sister-in-law, so she quickly said goodbye and left.
Xia Tian looked at the impetuous figure of the Second Madam and stood there for a while before returning to Jinglan Garden.
Then she went to the study to paint her picture.
The Second Madam hurried out with the medicine in hand. A carriage stopped at the gate. The people in the carriage saw her coming out and quickly got out. "Second sister, did you buy the medicine?"
This person is the second wife's younger brother.
The second wife’s father was the Minister of the Dali Temple, a third-rank official.
The second wife is the second among her sisters in the family. Her brother is seven or eight years younger than her and is the only son born to her mother.
It can be considered as a blessing for her mother to have a son in her old age.
"I bought it." The second wife took two quick steps. "Here are four. Take them back and give them to your sister-in-law. Don't delay."
The second wife's brother took it happily, turned around and left, but then remembered that he had not given the silver to his sister yet, so he quickly turned back, stuffed a handful of banknotes into the second wife's arms, and jumped into the carriage and left.
The Second Madam forgot to react for a moment. When she came to her senses, she quickly shouted in the direction of the carriage, "Hey, slow down, I haven't finished yet. Just take two pills at a time."
I don’t know if his brother heard it.
The second lady's brother, who was sitting in the carriage, heard it, but without answering her, he simply reached out of the window and shook it.
When the second wife saw this, she walked back with a smile on her face.
The next day, Xia Tian and Shen Nian went out together to the mansion that the emperor had rewarded them.
Mu Feng sent the expensive medicines that were obtained from the Imperial Hospital and the Emperor yesterday to this yard.
There are only two servants guarding the gate and two cleaning maids in this yard now, no one else.
Moreover, the area around this mansion is full of residences of dignitaries, and the whole place is relatively quiet.
So she discussed it with Shen Nian yesterday and decided to send the herbs here directly. There wouldn't be many people around, so it would be convenient for her to provide cover.
She has to pretend no matter what, otherwise how can she prepare her potion?
There are too many people in Jinglan Garden, making it inconvenient to do anything. She went out today without bringing any maid with her.
Mu Feng drove the car to bring her and Shen Nian here.
Before coming into the room, the two old women had cleaned it and lit a charcoal basin, so the room was warm now.
Xiatian closed the door and told them not to disturb her.
She took out her painting tools from the space, arranged them, and started painting here.
Shen Nian, who was about to pick up a book and flip through it, was stunned by what he saw.
I wondered how this was done?
Could it be that she really has that Qiankun bag the gods talk about? One that can hold anything? And she does it with ease!
Shen Nian was so surprised that her eyes brightened a little when she looked at Xia Tian.
Xia Tian found it funny and raised his hand to take out a bun and handed it to him.
The buns were still steaming, as if they had just been taken out of the steamer.
Shen Nian took it in a daze.
Xia Tian pretended not to know and began to concentrate on painting.
Shen Nian ate a bun and watched her painting in front of the easel on the ground.
This was the first time she painted in front of him, and he couldn't help but be attracted by her concentration.
At noon, the two did not go out, and Mu Feng had been sent away by them long ago.
Since there was no one else around, the two of them became much more casual.
Xia Tian took out some food from the space. It was some left over from her occasional cooking time, so she took it out and ate it.
Shen Nian is much calmer now!
He would even accept it if she took out a house from her sleeve pocket.
