Chapter 17 Add insult to injury
Today's Su Chenghai is a little different. Although the bamboo-colored robe leather belt is straight and slim, the slightly crooked jade pendant and the mist rising on his forehead imply that Su Chenghai came in a hurry. However, only Qin Yunuan found these, just because other people's eyes fell straight on Su Chenghai. On the red coral behind him.
"Yo, what a beautiful red coral," Aunt Liu's eyes lit up, "Master, is this also brought from Dongqin?" This is much more valuable than her black pearl.
"Exactly," Su Chenghai replied with a smile, "This is a meeting gift specially prepared by the younger generation for his aunt. Yesterday, he came in a hurry and failed to ship it in time before he received it. I hope his aunt will not blame the junior for his rudeness." The tone is gentle and clear, which is obviously a very decent respectful word, but it makes people feel cold.
Dou Qing'e's eyebrows suddenly became much brighter. Although the officials and businessmen are different, everyone loves her money. She suppressed her joy and desire and only showed a calm look, "Chen Hai has a heart."
Su Chenghaiyun swept lightly, "As long as my aunt likes it." After saying that, his eyes glanced at Qin Yunuan intentionally or unintentionally, and directly touched Qin Yunuan's carefully observed eyes. Almost for such a moment, Qin Yunuan could not grasp a trace of Su Chenghai's emotions at all. The childhood friendship was indeed unfamiliar.
At the family banquet, Dou Qing'e asked mechanically and answered Su Chenghai, but Su Chenghai's tone was still as light as clear water. Qin Yunuan looked at this cousin who had not seen for ten years. He behaved respectfully and spoke decently, but with a little alienated. He threw a lot of money and made a lot of money, but his eyes were clear. It's like a pool of ice water, and it can't be mixed with those things that smell like copper.
Is he pretending? Or is it indifferent by nature?
"Do three cousins still like the things sent yesterday?" Su Chenghai asked the women present in turn. Now, it was Qin Yunuan's turn. The maid scooped half a bowl of ginseng chicken soup for Su Chenghai, which steamed on Su Chenghai's handsome and heroic face, making Qin Yuuan shake for a moment.
Qin Yuwan raised her head slightly, and her disdain slowly flowed out. She also knew that Qin Yunuan only received silk threads and clothes yesterday. She was also a common girl. Hers was a box of Shujin. Look, she was really unpopular.
"Yu Nuan likes it very much," Qin Yu Nuan showed a calm and modest smile and added, "Baochuan also likes it very much."
A bright color flashed in Su Chenghai's pupil, and then nodded. There was nothing wrong with the conversation between the two, as if the childhood friendship had dissipated, which was the result that many people expected.
After the greeting, Gui's mother in Caizhiyuan hurried to report. In Dou Qing'e's whisper for a while, she saw Dou Qing'e's face suddenly turn blue.
"Why don't you go and ask the doctor to talk to me?" Even if the volume was lowered, Dou Qing'e's words still fell into Qin Yunuan's ears.
The only absence today is because of the scratching of Qin Yunzhuang, who was recuperating, and now it is the people around Qin Yunzhuang. Qin Yunuan watched the development of the situation and looked at Dou Qing'e's tension. I'm afraid that something big happened to Qin Yunzhuang.
Gui's mother looked embarrassed and said at the banquet, "Now that Princess Ning accidentally fell down, the famous doctors in Beijing have been invited to the Ning Palace."
"Then take the master's famous post and go to the palace to invite a doctor." Dou Qing'e roared in a low voice.
Gui's mother was even more difficult. "The first and second leaders in the Tai Hospital were also sent by the emperor to the Ning Palace to treat Princess Ning."
Dou Qing'e clenched her teeth, frowned, and couldn't help whispering, "Princesss Ning is also Princess Ning. She just fell down. How can the face of cloud makeup be important?"
Almost for a moment, Qin Yunuan saw Su Chenghai's eyebrows gently wrinkled into a "mountain" character, but he recovered quickly as usual. He put a piece of chicken sauce and eggplant in the blue and white plate, turned his head and asked Dou Qing'e, "What's the problem with your aunt?"
Dou Qing'e didn't want to pay attention to it, but she also thought that Su Chenghai himself knew some medical skills. Over the years, merchants may have known some capable people. In addition, Aunt Liu also asked and simply put down her chopsticks and said, "Yun makeup said that her face is uncomfortable."
It can't be understated, but from Dou Qing'e's frown, Qin Yunuan knew that things were by no means as simple as "uncomfortable".
"Yo, it's a face," Aunt Liu looked anxious. "This shouldn't be a wound on her face..." Speaking of this, she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head to avoid Dou Qing'e's sharp eyes like a cold knife.
Before saying much, a little maid rushed in at the door and said directly, "Madam, the eldest girl said that her face is really itchy. If she doesn't go there, I'm afraid she will scratch her skin."
Dou Qing'e stood up solemnly, pointed to the little maid and scolded, "Who let you come in casually and shouted loudly? Get out, Ye San, serve my family."
"Oh, sister, it's not the time to deal with the servants," Aunt Liu quickly advised, "Yun makeup sounds quite serious," and then shouted to the mothers outside, "What are you still doing standing? Why don't you go and ask for a doctor?"
"No," Dou Qing'e said with a black face, "Some famous doctors in Beijing have been invited to Ningwang Mansion, and several old doctors in the imperial hospital have also been invited." After saying that, he looked at Su Chenghai with suggestive eyes. Didn't he hear that he also worshipped Sun Miaoyang, the first magic doctor in Jiangnan, as his teacher? At this time, it is a performance.
And Su Chenghai was still slowly chewing the chicken sauce eggplant, frowned slightly, and then put down his chopsticks and said, "Isn't there a young imperial doctor on duty in Tai Hospital? He is the only son of the Zhang family. I heard that his medical skills are very good. After saying that, he slowly looked at Qin Yunuan and said, "Three cousins should have seen her in the palace." He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Qin Yuuan. His eyes seemed to flow through a clear spring, bright and clear, as if waiting for something.
Qin Yunuan was suddenly named. Although her heart trembled, she still stood up naturally and said, "What did my cousin say is Zhang Ruting and Zhang Tai doctor? My cousin did meet him. He was a very modest and polite son. Qin Yunuan did not lie. After all, except for Zhang Ruting's warning to herself, her words and deeds were very generous.
"Is it a prince?" Dou Qing'e shook her head as if she had been slapped in her heart and said, "No." A fable Su Chenghai has given her a headache. How can she put another one in? What's more, the fancy thought of cloud makeup is always... alas...
"Sister, when is this?" Aunt Chang sincerely advised, "It's still the face of Yun makeup."
Dou Qing'e thought for a moment, gritted her teeth and said to Aunt Xiu, "Go, bring the master's famous post and invite the imperial doctor."
When Zhang Ruting came, Caizhiyuan was already in a mess.
Qin Yun's thin and sad voice lingered in the yard. With a heavy sound of smashing the door, Qin Yuwan was kicked out of the room. Fortunately, the little maid beside her was quick to hold it. Otherwise, it would be a pity for her well-dressed face.
"Get out! You all go out! Everyone came to see my jokes. Qin Yun's makeup period Ai's voice came from the room, followed by whispering and sobbing.
Qin Yuwan stood firm and stood at the door to persuade him, "Sister, you misunderstood. I just brought you some medicine. Why did you come to see the joke? You and I are sisters." Her tone was real, but there was an imperceptible pride and smile on her face. She turned her head and saw Qin Yunuan standing on her side looking at herself, with an awkward expression on her face. She only said vaguely to Qin Yunuan, "My sister is losing her temper. Don't make trouble." It seems that Qin Yunuan is the one who came to see the good play.
Qin Yunuan nod and motioned the clear water in his hand, "I'm just helping to bring the basin of clear water."
Qin Yunuan's voice was raised, and Qin Yunzhuang shouted again, "Who? Who is here again? Qin Yunuan, isn't it? You are not allowed to come in, mother? Where has she gone?
"Mother is busy." Qin Yunuan replied briefly, "Sister, I just sent Qingshui for you."
Qin Yunzhuang wanted to say something, but a man's voice sounded deeply, mixed with a little unhappiness and seriousness. "If Miss Qin always doesn't cooperate like this, I will forgive Weichen for not being good at studying medicine and there is nothing I can do." This is Zhang Ruting's voice.
"Sister, clear water." Qin Yunuan doesn't want to stay any longer.
The little maid who looked at the door was about to take the water in, but Qin Yun makeup inside still raised her voice and said, "I obviously asked Hongluan to carry the clear water." Hongluan is the close maid of Qin Yun makeup. In addition to Gui's mother, she is the most trusted subordinate of Qin Yun makeup. The meaning is that Qin Yunuan's appearance is a little strange.
Qin Yunuan replied slowly, "When Sister Hongluan came back, she was suddenly called by her mother to ask questions. She happened to meet me and let me do it for her." Qin Yunuan raised her eyes and happened to see Zhang Ruting, who was sitting in regular clothes in the room, looking back at him. His eyes were cold and expressionless. Through an eight-sided red sandalwood screen, it was Qin Yun's makeup sitting on the bed. The original suspension pulse had to be interrupted because of Qin Yun's struggle. At this moment, the little maid was helping Qin Yun's makeup. Retie the silk thread.
The room was silent. Only Qin Yunuan stood awkwardly at the door with a basin of clear water. Qin Yun's makeup in the screen did not say a word, but the meaning was obvious. She would not use things that had warmed Qin Yu's hands. Her injury was not obtained by entering the palace with this broom star.
It was not until Zhang Ruting opened his mouth that he solved the frosty atmosphere. He nodded to the little maid and said, "I'm sorry to bother this girl to bring another basin of water."
