Chapter 485 Nanshan has an appointment
In the afternoon, Li Yanqing returned to his mansion and saw a ox cart parked at the door. The driver Sun Er was cleaning the snow on the roof of the car. Li Yanqing had already wrapped the ox cart. Today is Sun Er's first day in the mansion to do business.
"Sun Er, are you going out?" Li Yanqing turned over and got off the horse and asked with a smile.
Sun Er hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I just went to pick up Dr. Liu and sent him back later."
After winter began, Sisi's health was not very good. It snowed yesterday and her condition worsened a little. Before leaving, he instructed Qing'er to invite Dr. Liu to see the doctor today, "Why did Dr. Liu come in the afternoon?" Li Yanqing asked.
"Miss Qing'er went to the hospital in the morning, but Dr. Liu came to the hospital and was not in the pharmacy and came back in the afternoon."
Li Yanqing nodded, handed the horse to the servants, quickly walked into the mansion, and came to the backyard. When he happened to meet the butler Uncle Tai accompanied an old man with white hair and beard. This old man was Liu Bo, a famous doctor. He was also an imperial doctor in his early years. He was nearly seventy years old and had a bit of fairy-like appearance. He was very famous in the capital. He paid ten taels of silver for a visit.
Uncle Tai saw Li Yanqing and hurriedly said, "My official is back."
Liu Bo stepped forward and bowed, "See Censor Li!"
"Doctor Liu doesn't have to be polite. I want to know how my wife is doing?"
"In fact, it's not a serious illness, but a weak constitution. You can easily get sick if the weather is a little cold. Pay special attention to keeping warm in winter. It is best not to go out, and it will improve in spring."
“Will taking medicine be better?”
"Of course I can take medicine. I also prescribed a few tonics, but taking medicine is just an auxiliary. The key is to rely on your own maintenance. The root problem cannot be solved by taking some medicine. When the weather is warmer, her body will naturally improve."
"Thank you, Dr. Liu, Uncle Tai, for taking twenty taels of silver."
"Hehe! Thank you, Censor Li. I will say goodbye first. If you have any questions, please come to me anytime."
Liu Bo said goodbye and left. Li Yanqing hurried to the inner yard, but saw Qing'er and two maids happily building snowmen in the yard. Sisi was wearing a leather cloak and stood at the door watching them building snowmen, with a smile on her face.
"The official is back!"
A maid saw Li Yanqing and quickly shouted. Qing'er jumped over and said with a smile: "Doctor Liu came just now and said that my sister is not seriously ill, just take care of her maintenance."
"Since you need to pay attention to maintenance, what are you doing while standing at the door? Get in the house."
Li Yanqing urged Sisi to enter the house in a series of times. Sisi smiled and said, "Don't be so fussy, can my own body still not understand? It's like this every winter, and it's better to spring."
"Then you can't stand outside and get cold, hurry up and go into the house."
Sisi had no choice but to enter the room. Li Yanqing and Qing'er also followed in. A brazier was lit in the room. It was as warm as spring. There was a soft couch against the wall, surrounded by a screen. Li Yanqing immediately understood. Sisi was lying on the soft couch in the screen just now, asking Dr. Liu to take her pulse through the screen.
The two maids quickly removed the screen and put away the soft couch. Li Yanqing sat down and said, "I just met Dr. Liu, and he also said that Sisi will improve after spring. Did Sisi do the same before?"
Sisi nodded, "This is a problem that comes from the mother's womb. When I was a child, I almost died of illness twice in winter. Later, my father made ginger candy tea for me every winter, and then he didn't go out. He was basically safe. This year, I was not careful a few days ago and felt the cold at night. Now it's much better."
"Doctor Liu just said that he had prescribed two tonics for you..."
Sisi smiled and said, "I haven't taken any tonics in recent years? I have taken several thousand-year-old ginseng, but it doesn't have much effect. The best tonic is ginger candy tea. Drink a bowl of it every morning and evening, and you will be safe in one winter."
Qing'er next to him said, "What a pity. I also discussed with Xixi to go to the Sui Dike to see the ice willows."
"You guys go."
Sisi smiled faintly and said, "It's such a cold day, I'm too lazy to go out. I like to stay in a warm room and read books and write songs."
"Brother, are you going with us?" Qing'er turned around and asked Li Yanqing.
"Me?" Li Yanqing was a little distracted. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "I... shouldn't have time."
At this time, a maid said outside the door: "Official, someone is looking for him outside the door!"
Li Yanqing got up and walked quickly to the gate. When he reached the gate, he saw Cao Xing standing at the gate, looking at the surrounding environment.
"It turns out it's Brother Cao, you're rude!" Li Yanqing smiled and greeted him.
Cao Xing smiled and said, "This is the first time I have come to your house. The environment here is good and very quiet. This house is..."
"It's a rented house, sixty cents a month."
"I can't afford to rent this price. I only cost twenty cents a month, so I can't eat enough."
"Although you can't afford to rent a five-acre house, you live in a huge house of hundreds of acres, so I can't compare."
Li Yanqing joked and invited him to the mansion again. Cao Xing smiled and said, "I won't go in. Today I am here to invite you to go to Nanshan to enjoy the snow the day after tomorrow. They are all young people, and they are very relaxed and happy. This time you must enjoy your face!"
"The day after tomorrow is not a holiday, I don't necessarily have time!"
"Don't try to coax me, I've inquired. You've transferred to the military prison. The military prison has just been established and there is nothing wrong with it. Otherwise, I wouldn't invite you. Will you give me this face?"
Li Yanqing had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Okay! When will the day after tomorrow?"
"The morning after tomorrow, I will set off after dawn and meet at Chenzhou Gate first. I will ask a family member to tell you the specific time tomorrow, don't forget."
"Don't worry! I can't forget such a small thing."
...........
Li Yanqing has really nothing happened in the past few days. The army has not been transferred yet, and everything has not started yet. There is nothing else except cleaning and laying out a new official room.
Early that morning, just dawned, Li Yanqing rode out the door, and walked towards Chenzhou Gate in the creaking snow.
At the moment of the appointment before, at 7:30 in the morning, Li Yanqing arrived at Chenzhou Gate on time, but found that he was already late and almost everyone arrived.
Cao Xing told him that there were more than a dozen children from aristocratic families, including Gao Chong, who would also go out together. When he arrived at Chenzhou Gate, he realized that Cao Xing had not told him the truth. There were nearly thirty children from aristocratic families riding horses, and there were about a dozen young women riding ox carts, which totaled at least fifty or sixty people. If the servants and maids were included, there would be more than a hundred people.
When Cao Xing saw Li Yanqing, he hurriedly urged his horse to come over and said with a smile: "Yanqing is very punctual!"
Li Yanqing pointed to the team with a horse whip, "Are these more than a dozen people?"
Cao Xing smiled embarrassedly and said, "Originally there were only a dozen people, but somehow the news leaked, and a lot of people suddenly increased. However, more people were lively and did not affect the snow appreciation."
Since he has arrived, Li Yanqing is not good to say anything else? He asked again: "Have everyone arrived?"
"I'm still a few shorts. I've sent someone to urge me and I'll set off soon."
At this time, Li Yanqing saw Gao Chong and urged him to come forward and smiled, "When did Brother Gao come back?"
"Just just returned yesterday!"
Gao Chong's mother is the daughter of the Yang family. This time Gao Chong escorted his mother to his grandfather's house for a while. He said a little excitedly: "This time he met a powerful general in Taiyuan. He is a little older than me and has an excellent marksmanship..."
Li Yanqing changed his mind and asked with a smile: "It's not Yang Zaixing, right?"
Gao Chong was stunned, "Brother Li knows him?"
"He and I are friends. Didn't you mention my name in front of him?"
Gao Chong scratched his head, "I didn't think so much? In fact, we have been communicating together for less than half a day."
"Who won?"
"I fought with him for more than fifty rounds, and I won a move by chance. To be honest, the Yang family's marksmanship is a little more powerful than the Gao family's marksmanship. If I hadn't obtained the true teaching of Master Xu, I wouldn't really be his opponent."
Li Yanqing felt quite regretful. The battle between Yang Zaixing and Gao Chong should be so wonderful, but unfortunately he didn't have this honor.
At this moment, Li Yanqing suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him, "Brother Li!"
This tender voice made Li Yanqing tighten all over. He looked back and saw Cao Jiaojiao wave to him excitedly in front of a ox car window. Li Yanqing couldn't help but glared at Cao Xing, saying, Are they all young people going out?
He had no choice but to urge him to come forward and asked with a smile: "Do Jiaojiao go and enjoy the snow?"
"Yeah!" Cao Jiaojiao emphasized, "I go every year."
When Li Yanqing saw that she was wearing a thick black leather jacket and a pointed hat, which looked like a little penguin, she smiled and said, "Is Jiaojiao going out alone?"
"Of course, it's still Da Shuniang with me."
Li Yanqing was stunned and then saw Cao Yun sitting in the ox cart. She looked at her quietly with a slight smile on her face.
Li Yanqing hurriedly saluted, "So Miss Cao is here too!"
"I am also Miss Cao! Brother Li asked me or Dashu Niang?" Cao Jiaojiao asked with a mischievous smile with a tilted head.
"You are Cao Xiaoniang, not Miss Cao. Of course I am greeting your sister."
Cao Yun smiled slightly and said, "President Li, I was rude last time."
"It's okay! It's okay!"
Li Yanqing scratched his head and smiled, "After I went back, I specifically visited Miss Cao's paintings. The paintings were very artistic, reminding me of Du Mu's "Shant Travel". The stone paths of Hanshan Mountain are slanted, and there is a house deep in the white clouds. There is no one in the painting, but it clearly contains vitality. Thanks to the girl's paintings, I like them very much."
When Cao Yun heard him speak sincerely, he liked it in his heart and said softly: "That "Traveling in the Country" was painted by me when I took a boat to Xuzhou last year. Unfortunately, my calligraphy is too poor and I can only draw and not write. In the future, I would like to ask Guanren Li to give me more advice on Yunniang's calligraphy."
Li Yanqing's calligraphy is excellent, and he already has a vague style of a great man. Cao Yun may not be interested in Li Yanqing's couplets, but he likes his calligraphy very much.
At this time, Cao Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Brother Li, today you can enjoy the snow, so you can join us!"
"Are you still splitting up the snow-appreciating group?" Li Yanqing asked in confusion.
"Of course we split up. The snow-watching place is very big, so we will part after a walk. Brother Li will join us! We brought a lot of delicious food."
Chapter completed!
