BXBX NOVEL Chapter 354 - 354 Deceased
Doctor Sun’s expression brightened, “It just so happens that my shelf of medicinal materials has been quite empty recently, and I can make up for it this time.”
“Doctor Sun, don’t worry, we will bring you back any medicinal materials that are missing from your side.”
Doctor Sun nodded again and again, and his eyebrows were bent when he smiled. “Remember to talk to that kid Zhao Zhan. Ask him to cook something delicious.”
“Don’t listen to him saying postpartum confinement lasts 46 days.” Doctor Sun waved his hand, “The medicinal diet and soup I gave you are very effective. You saw how the old man became healthy and fat after following my dietary instructions, right?”
“Girl, remember to tell that boy Zhao Zhan that he must make me pickled fish today. It’s so spicy and sour. I’ve been craving this taste for a long time.”
“By the way, I won’t go to the dining room to have dinner with you today. I’m not comfortable with it.”
“Okay, then I’ll ask Madam Qin to deliver dinner to your room later.” Yue Jiaojiao sent him all the way to the front yard. “I promise you that there will be pickled fish for dinner today, as well as your favorite braised pork, and I’ll make you another boiled sliced pork.”
“Also, I’ll ask Zhao Zhan to cook another stir-fried vegetable for you.”
Doctor Sun’s raised mouth corners straightened out.
“Doctor Sun, don’t be upset, you forgot what Doctor Zhou told you? You shouldn’t eat meat all the time because it’s bad for your body.”
“I’ll ask Madam Qin to watch over you.” Yue Jiaojiao did not care how reluctant he was. “Finish all your vegetables first, and then continue to eat meat to wash away the taste of the green vegetables.”
Doctor Sun let out a displeased groan, turned his head, and left.
Madam Qin stood beside Yue Jiaojiao and looked at his back, shaking her head and laughing. “Look at Doctor Sun, he is still a child even though he’s old. We must not let Zhao Nian pick up his bad habits.”
“The child is too young, who knows what he will be like in the future.” Yue Jiaojiao took out the silver from her purse and handed it to Madam Qin. “Madam Qin, there are many people in the family now, you have to work hard these few days, take care of it first.”
“When the weather improves tomorrow, I’ll ask Zhan Zhao to take you to the town to find a merchant and buy a few servants.”
“Uncle and aunt probably thought it was inconvenient to bring servants to live with us, so they only brought a maid to serve grandma.” Yue Jiaojiao thought about it. “You take the money, and pick some servants from big households. Be careful not to pick those who are looking for work because they made a big mistake in their previous household.”
“By the way, arrange a maid for Xiangjun.”
“Okay, let me go to the town to have a look. If there is a suitable one, I will make a purchase and train the servant for a few days, and then arrange for her to be by Ms. Li’s side.”
“Okay, Madam Qin. Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s nothing.”
While the two were talking, the bell hanging under the eaves of the backyard door suddenly rang.
Madam Qin put away the silver coins. “Miss, let me go to the front yard and see who is here at this point.”
“Okay, go.”
Madam Qin, who walked to the gate, saw the two of them, her steps froze, and she subconsciously held the door frame for support.
“Why are you here?”
The person who came was surprised that Madam Qin was injured on the mountain, and it happened that Qian Congren took her in.
“I haven’t seen you for a while, but you don’t seem to have changed much.”
Qian Congren’s face was a little reserved, his eyes kept falling on Madam Qin’s body, and then he lowered his head and moved away. Then he said eagerly, “I just thought, I haven’t seen you for a long time, I don’t know how you are doing, so I came here to have a look.”
“Seeing that you are doing well now, I… I am relieved.”
When he spoke, his expression was a little reserved.
“They take good care of you. You look even better than when you lived in my house…”
He did not say anything later.
He came here today because he overheard others talking about a maid that had been killed, sold or disappeared quietly in the town.
That was why he came here to take a look today.
Although he said this, he was just looking for an excuse to see Madam Qin.
“Wait for me here for a while, I’ll go and tell the Young Miss.” Seeing that he stopped talking, Madam Qin sighed silently in her heart. “Wait for me to come out.”
“What? Master Qian is here?” Yue Jiaojiao was surprised in her heart, but she could not help but glance at Madam Qin with a smile on her face. “Then you should go see him. It doesn’t matter if you come back late.”
“Also,” Yue Jiaojiao said earnestly, “If you have other ideas, you must tell me, no matter what you choose, I will stand by your side.”
Madam Qin’s eyes flickered, and her complexion became more solemn. “Miss, don’t worry, if I think of anything, I will definitely tell you.”
Yue Jiaojiao felt like she was trying to solicit a matchmaker. “Madam Qin, do you want to change your clothes?”
Madam Qin stayed in the yard all day. Although she was dressed decently, her clothes were all of the ordinary plain cotton materials, so she did not stand out.
“Miss, you’ve grown quite cheeky.” Madam Qin’s seriousness faded away and she could not hold back the smile on her face. “I see, your uncle spoils you like this now.”
Yue Jiaojiao answered with a generous smile. “Yes, is that a bad thing?”
“Okay, Madam Qin, don’t waste time chatting with me here, and don’t make people wait outside for a long time.”
Only then did Madam Qin straighten her expression, she lowered her head and straightened her clothes before walking out quickly.
Qian Congren’s body was heavy and he was exhausted from standing at the door for a while. Now he was sitting on the stone steps at the door to rest.
“Tired from standing?” After all, Madam Qin had been with him day and night for several months, and she was very familiar with Qian Congren’s daily habits. “Come on, I’ll help you up.”
She was quite old now, so she did not have to be too strict about the proximity between men and women.
“I can get up.” For some reason, Qian Congren always felt a little short of breath when he saw Madam Qin. He stood up with his arms on the ground as he spoke, “I can really get up, so please don’t use too much strength, or you might hurt your leg.”
He could not help panting when he moved.
Seeing this, Madam Qin hurriedly bent down and supported his arm to help him up. “There is no need to show off in front of me. You were the one who took care of me when my leg was broken, now let me help you. Why won’t you let me?”
Qian Congren stood up with her help, and then immediately took a step back. “Didn’t you just say that you were going to go for a walk in the back mountain? Well… Why don’t you lead the way?”
