Chapter 2

She cried and fell asleep again. She didn't know how long she slept when she was woken up by a soft cry.

Opening her hazy eyes, she saw Yu Chun's peach-like face looking at her with a smile, and said: "Girl, get up and eat some porridge. Only after eating the porridge can you drink the medicine!"

As she spoke, she helped Xu Miaoyin up and gave her two more pillows.

Xu Miaoyin leaned on the pillow and looked around the room. When she didn't see Fang Shuhuai, she asked, "Where is my uncle?"

As Yuchun took the porridge out of the Gu, he replied: "My uncle was called to the study by the owner of the family, and he said he would be back soon."

Tomorrow he will set off to transport grain. It is his first time to go, and his father will naturally give him some instructions.

After thinking about it, this was indeed the case before, so I didn't ask any more questions.

Yuchun wanted to feed her, but she took it and ate it slowly, then smiled and told her to be careful when scalding it.

After drinking less than half a bowl of porridge, Xu Miaoyin couldn't hold it anymore. She took the medicine handed over by Yuchun and drank it in one breath. Then she motioned for her to bring the candied fruit, holding the candied fruit in her mouth, and then exhaled as if she was relieved.

Yuchun saw her drinking medicine as if she were facing a formidable enemy, and joked: "Young lady is still so afraid of drinking medicine."

Xu Miaoyin smiled. The medicine was bitter and astringent. She had been afraid of it since she was a child. She didn't know why she was able to drink it in one breath today.

I guess once you die, you don’t dare to do anything.

She looked at the hourglass. It was just past noon, and the little girl might not be able to kneel any longer. It was better to go and pick her up!

After thinking about this, she asked Yuchun to help her wash up.

Seeing that she was about to get out of bed, Yuchun hurried over and stuffed her into the quilt again, saying, "My good girl, you are so good. You are cold and frightened. The doctor has ordered you to

You have to stay in bed to rest!"

"It's just that I fell into the water. It's not that serious. You can see that I'm getting better. It's okay."

After saying that, he simply got off the bed, turned around in a circle, and looked at Yuchun with a smile.

Yuchun couldn't resist her, so she had to ask the little girl guarding the door to fetch water to help her wash up.

"Oh, by the way, ask Yuqiu to find Mother Wu. Mother Wu worked hard to make a plate of chestnut cake. Jiaojiao likes it!"

Yuchun, who was combing her hair, responded and was about to go out to call someone when she saw Yuqiu holding a food box, glanced at her, nodded towards her, and walked in.

Said: "There is no need for Yuchun to go. Mother Wu heard that the girl was awake, and she thought she would want to eat the snacks she made, but she hurt her hand again, so she had to ask her maid to make two simple things for her. The maid learned seven or eight things.

It’s fine, girl, don’t dislike it.”

Xu Miaoyin turned her head, frowned and asked: "What's going on? Why are you injured? It's serious. Have you called a doctor?"

"I've already asked the old doctor who came yesterday to look at it, and he said it should be fine after a month and a half."

Yuqiu said slowly while taking out the snacks from the food box.

Xu Miaoyin lowered her eyes, thinking about her own thoughts.

She remembered that Mrs. Wu did not hurt her hand at this time, and she did make two plates of snacks for herself the next day.

But this time, it was Yuqiu who did it for her. Did she remember it wrong, or did she go back in time and change what was about to happen?

Does that mean that she can also change what will happen in three months?

Otherwise, why would God want her to return to this time when the food had not yet been shipped to the border and the Xu family had not yet received salt.

God has mercy and can let her come back to change everything.

Seeing her unpredictable expression, Yuchun said worriedly: "Girl, if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, why don't you go back and lie down."

She shook her head, and because she had a plan in her mind, she felt much happier. She smiled and said, "I'm fine." Then she turned to Yuqiu and said, "Put the snacks back into the food box first, and let's go to the ancestral hall to have a look.

, I guess our second girl won’t be able to stand it anymore!”

After saying that, seeing that Yuchun had already combed her hair and smiled at herself in the bronze mirror, she got up and took Yuqiu and the others out of the house.

As soon as he left the hanging flower gate, he saw Fang Shuhuai walking slowly.

Fang Shuhuai stopped in front of the three of them. Seeing that she was ready to go out, he asked angrily: "My body is not fully recovered yet. Where are we going?"

I didn't expect him to come back so quickly, so I asked him to accompany me, just in time to inquire about the progress of the food transportation.

"Now that I'm healed, Jiaojiao doesn't have to kneel in the ancestral hall anymore. The place is cold and cold. She probably won't be able to stand it anymore. I want to go and pick her up. Husband, please come with me!"

Seeing her holding his hand with a happy look on her face, he felt a little relieved and said warmly: "Don't worry about my little sister, I've already sent someone to pick her up..." As he spoke, he brought her back

He asked her to walk back, "It's you, you had such a severe fever last night, and now you come out to blow the air. If you get a fever again, you will also be the one who feels uncomfortable, right?"

"Your two maids don't know how to persuade me, so they let you do whatever you want!"

His tone was still neither serious nor serious, but Yuqiu and Yuchun who were following them did not dare to express their anger and lowered their heads.

Xu Miaoyin glanced at him and said, "Why are you so angry today? Don't scare my two girls."

As he spoke, he stopped, looked at him seriously and said, "Why do I feel that you are different today than usual?"

Fang Shuhuai stopped for a moment, looked back at her, and said, "Madam, do you know how worried I was when you fell into the water yesterday?"

Those beautiful phoenix eyes glanced at the two maidservants lightly, and then continued: "The two of them grew up with you, so it is natural that they have friendship. If you want to protect them, then naturally I will be the one to do it."

the wicked."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards Lanyin Academy without waiting for her reaction.

Why am I still getting angry even as I talk about this?

She shook her head helplessly, but did not pursue him. Instead, she turned around and wanted to find her father in the study.

Now that Jiaojiao has been picked up, there is no rush to see her. The most important thing right now is to see her father so that she can feel at ease.

The two people behind him looked at each other and chose to follow them silently.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived outside the study, the sweeper outside the study reported that the owner of the house had not returned yet.

She could only calm down and return to Lanyin Academy.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Fang Shuhuai sitting in front of the desk in the bright room, reading a book in his hand.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a local chronicle. It seemed that it was preparing for a trip.

Seeing that he didn't even raise his eyes, she knew he was still angry, so she ignored him and turned around and went back to the inner room.

Sitting on the soft couch, I saw a half-made belt placed in the embroidery frame. I picked it up and looked at it, but I couldn't remember who it was for, but I saw that the stitches were indeed embroidered by me.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve gone back to the past and I can’t remember many details.

She was embroidering a belt in her hand. It looked like this, with a ten thousand-character pattern, and it was probably for her father, so she embroidered it along the pattern she had embroidered before.

She didn't know how long she had been embroidering, but the room became dark. She was about to ask someone to light a lamp, but she saw Fang Shuhuai coming in with a candle.

One by one, he lit the candles in the inner room, sat next to her, took the belt from her hand, looked at it, and put it back into the embroidery frame.

"Don't do these embroidery jobs in the future, or you may hurt your eyes."

Seeing that he was not as angry as before, he joked: "Aren't you angry anymore?" He actually left her and walked away alone.

There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, her smile was bright, and her tone was brisk, making her already pretty little face look more pretty and charming.

His eyes darkened a bit, and he said with a hint of resentment: "How could I be angry with Madam? It's just a pity that I couldn't grow up with Madam since I was a child, and I lost some of the affection that I grew up with."

His eyes were somewhat round in nature, and the ends of his eyes were slightly raised, giving him this resentful expression, which was a little innocent but also a little sincere, which often made her unable to resist and defeated.

"You are my husband, so naturally you are the closest person to me, and you are also the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. The friendship is naturally different."

After saying that, she kissed him gently on the corner of his lips, and the moment they left, she smiled sweetly and said, "I'll go get someone to prepare the meal. You can accompany me to find daddy later."

After saying that, he got off the soft couch and went out of the inner room to order the maids to prepare the meal.

Fang Shuhuai was sitting on the soft couch, his eyes lowered, his hand touching the place she kissed, his expression a little gloomy.

After dinner, she originally wanted to ask Fang Shuhuai to accompany her, but he stopped her. She was a little confused and looked at him with confusion.

He could only explain: "I don't know if my father has come back. If you go there rashly like this, if my father is not here, then your trip will be in vain. It is better to let Yuqiu go and find out."

Hearing what he said was reasonable, I felt a little impatient, so I called Yuqiu to have a look.

After a while, Yuqiu came back and reported: "The master of the house went to the magistrate's banquet, but he hasn't returned yet."

When she heard that no one had replied yet, she asked anxiously: "Did you say when you will return?"

"This... I didn't say anything." Yuqiu saw that she was anxious, but could only answer truthfully.

Fang Shuhuai saw the anxious look on her face, so he pulled her to a chair and sat down, asking, "What's wrong with you? You are so anxious to see your father."

"...But is there anything that I have to see?"

Seeing the worry on his face, she didn't know where to start.

Although he has learned to take care of the Xu family's business ever since he married into the Xu family, and although he has some brains, he still has some scholarly spirit in doing things, so his father probably did not mention to him some obscure things about transporting grain north this time.

Otherwise, the food would not have been stolen and replaced without him noticing.

Her father only told her about this later.

Every year, merchants exchange grain for salt, and the grain exchanged is classified as military supplies. Merchants transport grain to expand military supplies in exchange for salt, and then they can sell the salt they make. Every year when buying grain, dad will keep it.

He came up with some money that could be transferred to various shops, but after being robbed this time, he discovered that all that was left was an empty account. Therefore, dad could only use his brains on salt, and then he had the future.
