Yang Haiyan and Qin Fang had a great time today. Because Yang Haiyan was wearing men's clothes, she didn't have to worry about
it. She didn't care whether others could recognize her as a woman in men's clothing. Even if they did, it didn't matter. However, some were happy and some were sad. They had a great time, and Qin Shoucheng was absent-minded all day. Finally, after school was over at noon, Qin Shoucheng asked for leave from the teacher and took the afternoon off.
Although Kun Daying and Qin Shoucheng were not in the same class, they usually went to school and went home together. Qin Shoucheng naturally had to inform Kun Daying when he asked for leave. Kun Daying has always admired Qin Shoucheng's love of learning. When he saw him taking leave today, he was very worried: "Shoucheng, what's wrong with you? Why did you take leave today?"
The county academy was different from the four books they studied in the town. When they were in the town, they only had half-day classes, but in the county, they had full-day classes, but they studied all kinds of art courses, not just those in private schools.
Qin Shoucheng couldn't think of a good excuse, so he lied the most common one: "I'm not feeling well, so I asked for leave from the teacher. Da Ying, I'm going back home first, so I can't go home with you today."
Kun Da Ying said, "It's okay, you have to take care of yourself, I'll come to see you after school." His father is the captain of the guards of the general's mansion, and his mother is in charge of the kitchen in the mansion, so Kun Da Ying usually has some face in the academy. In this tiny Yunxiang County, the fifth-rank general Wude is the highest official. Not to mention that others are very respectful to Kun Da Ying, even the brothers of the county's Taiye family have to give face to Kun Da Ying.
Qin Shoucheng said, "Okay, see you next time."
After saying goodbye to Kun Daying, Qin Shoucheng waited at the gate of the academy for a while, waiting for the maid in his yard to bring him lunch. He said, "I'm going home to eat today, Auntie, take the lunch back."
The maid was a quick-witted person, about the same age as Qin's mother. Although Qin Shoucheng had lived with Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan for more than a year, he still had a childlike heart and was very polite when it came to ordering servants. After all, he came from a poor family and couldn't get used to the manners of a rich family in a short time. Not to mention Qin Shoucheng, even people like Qin's grandmother and Qin's mother, who had imperial decrees, couldn't get used to servants.
The old woman couldn't help but ask: "Why did the Third Master go home to eat today? Is there something wrong?" The old woman's words were not against the rules, she was just worried about her master.
Qin Shoucheng was the third in the general's mansion, Qin Fang was the first, and everyone called him the general. Qin Shouye was the second, and everyone called him the second master, so Qin Shoucheng was the third master, and now Niu Dan was the fourth master.
Qin Shoucheng said: "I feel a little unwell, maybe it's because I read too much, I feel a little dizzy, don't worry about me, and don't alarm my brother and sister-in-law, so as not to worry them."
The old woman said: "Yes." Despite this, when she arrived at the general's mansion, the old woman went to invite Doctor Li. Even if she didn't tell the general and the lady, she still had to invite the doctor. If something happened to the Third Master, she couldn't bear the consequences and couldn't take the responsibility.
Qin Shoucheng entered the yard with his lunch box, but he did not eat right away. Instead , he went to find Qin Shouye. Qin Shouye had recently been learning accounting from Yang Haiyan, and then checking the accounts. He was also learning arithmetic and other courses from the teacher in the mansion, so he was very busy.
At this moment, Qin Shouye and Niu Dan were eating, and they saw their brother coming back with a lunch box. "Why are you back?" The maid brought him lunch, so shouldn't he be eating in the academy?
Qin Shoucheng said, "I was feeling a little unwell today, so I asked for leave from the teacher and came back first." As he spoke, he sat down, took out the food from the lunch box, and ate with Qin Shouye.
When Niu Dan heard that Qin Shoucheng was not feeling well, he asked with concern: "Third brother, have you seen Doctor Li?" Ever since he studied with Siya and Qiuya, and then had a private guard teach him martial arts, he felt unwell every other day and was exhausted.
Qin Shouye put down his chopsticks: "I'll go see Doctor Li."
Qin Shoucheng hurriedly said: "No, no, I'll be fine after a rest." If Doctor Li came, wouldn't his illness be exposed? That's why Qin Shoucheng didn't dare to see Doctor Li.
But Qin Shouye didn't think so. He has always been a careful person. After his eldest brother went to serve in the army, he became the eldest brother in the family and took care of his younger brothers and sisters, so he was used to worrying about these things. Hearing that Qin Shoucheng was not feeling well, and Qin Shouye was a scholar, he took it very seriously: "No, you can't joke with your health, just wait." As he said that, he stood up.
Qin Shoucheng was frightened by his serious expression, and knew that it was wrong to use illness as an excuse. He was about to say something, but he heard the voice of the maid outside: "Second Master, I have invited Miss Li to come over, and Doctor Li is not at home." Doctor Li often went to the mountains to collect herbs, especially the Beast Mountain, which had not been visited by anyone for 20 years, and there were many medicinal materials. There were soldiers guarding the foot of the Beast Mountain, who could help Doctor Li clear the way and carry the basket, so Doctor Li went to the Beast Mountain to collect herbs very frequently recently. Moreover, although Miss Li's medical skills could not be said to be very good, it was no problem to deal with minor illnesses. Therefore, Doctor Li was also relieved to go to collect herbs.
Miss Li doesn't like to go out of the yard, but today the maid came to ask her out, saying that Qin Shoucheng was not feeling well. Miss Li was worried that the illness would be delayed, so she had to leave the yard. Even though no one in the general's mansion said anything bad about her, and the people in the mansion were very polite to her because of her father, Miss Li's inner inferiority complex could not be eliminated. So except in the yard, she always felt that other people looked at her in a strange way. However, she tried hard to overcome it.
When she came to the yard of several masters, Miss Li became even more nervous and uneasy. Her face turned a little pale. In the eyes of people who didn't know the truth, such as Qin Shouye, he felt that the one who was sick was not Qin Shoucheng, but Miss Li.
Qin Shouye said, "Please come in." As he said that, he went to the door to greet her.
Not to mention Qin Shouye, even other members of the Qin family, including Qin Shoucheng and Qin Siya, who followed Yang Haiyan and Qin Fang to Yunxiang County at that time, did not know that Miss Li was in the bandit den. At that time, Qin Fang led the soldiers to destroy the bandit den, and only the soldiers knew about it. The soldiers were gagged by Qin Fang and were not allowed to mention it. Those who had not seen Miss Li in the bandit den naturally did not know that Miss Li was one of the women who were rescued. Therefore, Qin Shoucheng and others did not know about this.
Miss Li came in with the mother-in-law, and she saluted with a trembling voice: "I have met several gentlemen." When facing Yang Haiyan, perhaps because they were both women, Miss Li was not so scared and nervous, but when facing men, she was a little scared in her heart and felt that their eyes were very strange. Only in her own yard, smelling the medicine, could she feel calm. Or, with someone around who made her feel at ease, she could feel calm.
It was the first time Qin Shouye saw Miss Li. He knew there was a Miss Li in the mansion, the daughter of Doctor Li. He had met Doctor Li before when Doctor Li checked their pulse. He also knew that his elder brother and sister-in-law respected Doctor Li very much. Doctor Li devoted himself to his elder brother and helped him a lot. But she had never seen Miss Li before. When he suddenly saw her this time, he was a little stunned.
This Miss Li was really beautiful.
Doctor Li was a doctor in the county town of Huanshui County. He had his own pharmacy. Miss Li grew up in the county town since she was a child. Naturally, the conditions of the Li family were not bad. On the contrary, it was still good. It is one thing for Miss Li to be valued by the thieves and for the thieves to want to take Doctor Li, but what if Miss Li is ugly? Can the thieves use her to take Doctor Li? Even if they can, it will probably be her life, not that way. After all, the thieves are not short of girls.
Therefore, Qin Shouye, who had only lived in the village since childhood and was used to seeing country girls, was stunned when he saw Miss Li for the first time.
Miss Li saw that the other party was staring at her, and cold sweat ran down her forehead, and her lips became even paler.
Qin Shoucheng and Niu Dan were still big boys, so they naturally didn't understand some things, but the old woman was an experienced person, so she naturally knew what kind of expression a man would have when he saw a beautiful girl. She hurriedly said, "Second Master, do you want Miss Li to meet Third Master?" Because Miss Li was a girl, she would not retreat, otherwise Miss Li would not want to avoid danger.
Qin Shouye came back to his senses, and he immediately explained, "I... I saw that Miss Li's face was very pale. Is she sick? Is she okay?"
The old woman also noticed that Miss Li's face was a little too pale, thinking that she was fine when she went to find the girl just now. Could it be that she got heatstroke from the sun on the way?
Doctor Li's yard was a little off the beaten track. Firstly, he chose it himself, and secondly, there was a large piece of land there for him to grow herbs, which he liked very much. Therefore, it took some time to walk from Doctor Li's yard to the yards of the gentlemen because the General's Mansion was so big.
So the maid became more and more certain that Miss Li was tired on the way. The maid also asked: "Miss, I saw you were fine when you came out. Are you tired on the way? Did you get heatstroke?" The weather is really hot now, and because the General's Mansion has no shortage of ice, it is cool to cool down in the house, but once you go outside, the contrast is unbearable.
Miss Li was getting nervous from Qin Shouye's questioning. As soon as the maid spoke, she continued, "I am indeed tired from the journey. Maybe I ate some hot food. It's okay. I'll take a few pills myself when I get back."
Qin Shoucheng heard it and immediately said, "Miss Li, you should go back and take the pills first. I'm fine." She also hoped that Miss Li would go back earlier and not come again.
Qin Shouye glared at Qin Shoucheng and said sternly, "Sit down." He turned to Miss Li and said gently, "Please take a look at my brother."
Miss Li nodded, "Yes."
Qin Shoucheng had no choice but to sit down obediently.
