The Prematurely Deceased Fiance Dressed As a Heroine - Chapter 64
Wen Fei had a wound on his face, and he was recuperating in the guest house with an excuse. He never went out for several days.
But Chu Xi is different, she has hardly been idle these days. Whether it is to calm the angry and awkward brother, or to guess Wen Fei’s secret to consider the future of the two, or to accompany the second sister-in-law Xu to go out on errands… It is always from the body to the heart that she has never rested for a moment, so it is not like Wen Fei. Like that, I was immersed in the sadness for a long time.
On this day, Xu looked for Chu Xi to go out with him, but before leaving the house, he ran into Wen Fei at the gate. At a glance, Chu Xi could see that she was worried and wanted to talk to each other, but in the end she didn’t say anything.
The carriage wheeled and drove Chu Xi away from Chu Mansion. She quietly opened the curtain and glanced back after traveling all the way.
The Xu clan on the side saw her movements in his eyes. As the mistress of the house, he knew more about the situation of the two in the house these days. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the car, and seeing Chu Xi’s hesitating and cautious behavior, she finally couldn’t help but asked out: “Sister, what did you and Wu Weihou say that day?”
The carriage was already far away, and Chu Xi could only see a thin figure standing outside the gate of the mansion through the window of the carriage, standing for a long time facing the direction the carriage was leaving. The emotions in her heart were extremely complicated for a while, and Xu’s words floated from her ears to her heart.
Xu’s was probably the first person to see through, but her relationship with Chu Xi can only be regarded as ordinary. In fact, she doesn’t care much about each other’s relationship issues. It’s just that the various relationships in the aristocratic family are inextricably linked, which often affects the whole body. If Chu Xi and Wen Fei get married, many things will be involved. She had better know in advance, and she could also make some preparations in advance.
Of course, Chu Xi understands this, but the matter between her and Wen Fei is constantly messed up, it’s really hard to say or want to say. As for Yudong’s outrageous guess, she couldn’t even mention it to others.
So after a brief silence, Chu Xi simply changed the subject: “Second Sister-in-law, do you know what happened today?”
Wen Fei has been locked up in the guest house for a few days. If there is nothing wrong, he will not appear at the gate of the mansion at this time, but will return from the outside with a worried expression on his face. When Chu Xi changed the subject, she was actually caring about the other person, wondering what she looked like.
Xu is not a ignorant person, so he didn’t ask much when he saw it, and then changed the topic: “If you want to talk about major issues, there is really a problem today. The gate of Jiangzhou is closed again, saying that the disease outside the city is difficult to control. The medicinal materials are not enough, so we can only lock the sick refugees out of the city.” She sighed as she said, “I don’t know how many people will die this time.”
This topic is heavy enough, not to mention the Xu family, even Chu Xi, who was still sad before, can’t care about her own children’s love. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the corners of her lips were pressed tightly: “Is the man in the office, don’t hesitate to close the city gate?!”
Xu looked at her and sighed again: “A clever woman can’t cook without rice. Your brother hasn’t returned to the house for a few days, so he tried his best. Now the most important thing is myrrh. There are thousands of patients outside the city. , It’s not going to get better with just one sentence. Now that the city gate is closed, at least the disease can be kept outside the city and the people of this city can be kept. It’s really dragging on, and there can only be more dead people.”
In fact, Chu Xi understood that she was spoiled and wise to study with her elders since she was a child, and her insights on major issues were actually better than those of the Xu family. It’s just that her daughter’s family is always soft-hearted, and she can’t bear to see the pitifulness of the victims with her own eyes.
Of course, at the moment, she can only suppress her own intolerance, and then ask the Xu family: “The second sister-in-law, since the city gates are closed, shall we go to the banquet today?”
That’s right, the two came out for a banquet, and this is the case these days!
Everyone says “Zhumen’s wine and meat are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road.” Although this sentence is not completely consistent at this moment, it is not inappropriate to think about it…
Ever since Wen Fei came forward to take over the garrison, the people of Jiangzhou knew that a great man had arrived in the city. First-rank generals, military merits and princes, but also simple in the emperor’s heart. Such Wen Feimo said he was in Jiangzhou, and even in Chang’an, Kyoto, he is also very popular.
The local wealthy merchant squire in Jiangzhou knew her identity, and there was no doubt that they were flattered. It’s just that they didn’t have friendship with Wen Fei, so they couldn’t get in front of him hastily. Secondly, Wen Fei was accompanied by her fiancée, and even a girl from Jiangnan Chu’s family. No one dared to offend him, so the road of sending beauties to please was nowhere to go.
But since the Chu family girl is here, she can’t send the beauties, but you can ask the ladies of each family to come forward and walk through the door through the ladies. So from the second day Wen Fei revealed his identity, all kinds of invitations came in and almost filled the concierge of Chu’s house.
At first, Chu Xi naturally didn’t care about it, and Xu’s family only mentioned to her that neither of them planned to go to the banquet. Only later, Chu Min revealed to the Xu family about the lack of food in the government, and Xu told the matter again to Chu Xi. Only then did the two aunts and aunts begin to go to the banquet-these squires and the rich and the tycoons, they look down upon them. But people really have money and food in the local area!
Chu Xi has never been short of money, and the Chu family has accumulated enough wealth for generations, but his family is not there. So she came up with the idea of borrowing grain for turnover, and wanted to borrow grain from the rich and powerful squires first, and then return the grain for disaster relief from the imperial court in Japan.
At that time, the food was loaned out in the name of Chu’s family, and no one would dare not repay it.
The aunts and sisters have made plans to go to a lot of banquets these days, but the gates of the city are closed as soon as things are about to happen. Now that the government does not provide relief, there is no shortage of food. What reason does the two of them have for socializing and running around?
Xu had already thought about this when he got the news. He sighed and said, “It’s already been arranged, so naturally I still have to go to the appointment. Now the government doesn’t provide disaster relief anymore. Let’s go to have a fun together, and future posts will be fine. Pushed.”
Chu Xi nodded and agreed, but with a heavy heart, where is there any playfulness?
************************************************** *************************
The rich squires of Jiangzhou took turns to invite the two of Chu Xi. Today it happened to be the turn of the Li family in the east of the city. The two aunts and aunts agreed to go to the appointment on time. After eating a small banquet, admiring the lotus for a while, chatting and laughing with the female relatives, then left.
Chu Xi had experienced various banquets in Chang’an before, and was already quite comfortable with attending banquets for entertainment. But after a small banquet today, she still felt exhausted, not physically, but psychologically.
The lotus of the Li family is beautiful, and the food prepared is exquisite enough, not even worse than some banquets in Chang’an. It clearly shows the wealth and importance of the Li family. It’s just that it’s not normal now. Jiangzhou has just experienced the flood less than a month ago. The lotus in the lotus pond must be reorganized to perfection, and the food prepared must be exquisite and luxurious. The manpower and material resources required can be imagined.
Chu Xi usually doesn’t feel that there is anything extravagant and wasteful, because she grew up in such an environment, and the decent family’s rules will only be worse than that of the Li family. However, the banquet today really made her unhappy, so much so that everyone at the banquet did not care about the hints of borrowing food the other day, and now they no longer need to borrow food.
On the carriage on the return journey, Xu saw that Chu Xi was sluggish, so he was concerned and said: “What’s the matter? If you feel uncomfortable, little girl, you have to tell it. If you get sick, you won’t be able to delay it.”
Chu Xi was just a little bored in her heart and there was no physical discomfort, so she shook her head and said, “I’m fine, just a little bored.”
With that said, Chu Xi also wanted to breathe, so she lifted the curtain to look out—the flood had not passed, and the disease had reappeared. Even if the city gate had not been opened this morning, the atmosphere in the city was much more suppressed than in the past. There are almost no pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides are closed nine times out of ten. Occasionally, one or two of the doors are open, most of which are forcibly knocked on by customers who come to buy things.
Horseshoe treaded on a quiet street, and the scenery outside the car window receded unhurriedly. Xu Ye saw too many closed store doors on the street, and when a shop with a wide open door broke into his eyes, Chu Xi’s gaze couldn’t help but stay on it for a moment.
It was a medical clinic, and behind the counter facing the door, the guy was sorting out the medicinal materials. The small and famous medical clinic in the past is now in the cold, and the doctor with a gray beard is also idle, standing in front of the medicinal material cabinet to check the balance of the medicinal materials in the shop, and occasionally turning back to say a few words with the buddy, and ask Something.
The carriage drove by in front of the medical hall, but Chu Xi suddenly remembered something—the other day, in order to prevent the epidemic, the doctors in the city were almost all out of the city to see the victims by the government’s symptoms, so that Chu Xi found out. After Xi was dizzy, Wen Fei wanted to find a doctor to help her see but couldn’t find anyone. But now that the city gate is closed, these doctors seem to be back in the city…
When Chu Xi thought of this, she suddenly turned to Xu’s family and said, “Second sister-in-law, I have some discomfort. It may be that the weather is too hot and some heat stroke. By the way, the doctor in the palace is back. If he does, I want him to help. Prescribe a medicine for relieving heat.”
Xu immediately became nervous when he heard it, and hurriedly raised his hand to test the temperature on Chu Xi’s forehead. Naturally, there was no fever, but Chu Xi’s previous listlessness still made her dare not to take lightly, so she said: “The city gates are all closed, Dr. Wu will naturally not go. Since the younger sister is unwell, you should ask the doctor to take a good pulse for you. Look, how can I prescribe any medicine to deal with it?!”
After saying this, without waiting for Chu Xi to say anything, Xu ordered the coachman to drive the carriage faster.
Chu Xi felt the carriage accelerate suddenly, and her eyes dropped slightly, naturally without any refusal. In fact, her original intention was to see the doctor in the house, so she just didn’t want to cause speculation.
I still remember that the night when I first entered Jiangzhou, my elder brother and my second sister-in-law saw that her face was ill, so they ordered the doctor in the mansion to check her pulse for her and Wen Fei. At that time, the doctor diagnosed her with a loss of health and prescribed remedies for her. She has been taking the medicine these days, and while suffering unspeakably, her complexion has indeed improved a lot after conditioning, and her body has gradually recovered.
But the doctor didn’t say anything wrong with Wen Fei’s body. In fact, Wen Fei came from a military commander and was a young and strong age. No one would doubt that she was strong. But in this way, Chu Xi had some doubts about incompetence with outsiders, and naturally wanted to ask questions again.
What if the doctor just concealed it for her because of Wuweihou’s face?
Or Wen Fei’s body is indeed okay, then she should think about other possibilities…
The author has something to say: Chu Xi (worried): If A Fei is really sick, how can I persuade her not to avoid medical treatment?
Wen Fei (…): Thank you, no need.
