Chu Ling did not go back to his room to rest that night, but left the inn and went straight to the nearby Liuzhou Guards Camp.
It was originally half a day's journey and took a day. Of course, there was a need to take care of Shi Chunqu's health, but the biggest reason was that he wanted to stop by the Liuzhou Guards camp to meet an acquaintance, the current Liuzhou Guards commander - Zheng Xiao.
Speaking of his relationship with Zheng Xiao, it happened two years ago. At that time, he won the Civil and Military Examinations at the same time, and was very popular in Liuzhou. Almost everyone thought that he would continue to take the civil and military examinations, and naturally embark on an official career. However,
He didn't. Even the prefect of Liuzhou was alarmed at that time. He called a group of colleagues and came one by one to persuade him to continue taking the exam. Zheng Xiao was one of them. Of course he didn't take the exam after that. He even asked the head of Huating County to get a reward from the court.
Declined.
It's not because he is so noble, but because when he dreamed about the Spring Equinox, he also dreamed about his own future.
If he had passed the imperial examination two years ago, he would have been sent to another place. When he came back, Shi Chunfen had become Chu Run's wife. The imperial examination was held every three years. He wanted to change his and Shi Chunfen's fate.
He would have to go to Beijing three years later. Although this would add a lot of trouble to him, he didn't mind.
The road is made by people. With his talents and skills, no matter how many detours he takes, he will return to the right path. This is the confidence of a proud man.
Chu Ling successfully entered the Liuzhou Guard Camp and talked with Zheng Xiao all night long until dawn. When Zheng Xiao came to persuade him, he had been interested in winning over him. Three years later, they have become good friends who talk about everything. Although Chu Ling
He does not have an official position at the moment, but Zheng Xiao guessed from his conversation and skills that this person is definitely not a creature of the pool, and may be even more accomplished than him in the future, so he is willing to associate with him.
When he returned to the inn, it was already dark. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Lang Hao coming over to report that Shichun Equinox had been waiting for him in the house until midnight last night and had caught a cold.
Chu Ling paused, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. When he was at Chu's house in the past, he didn't have the habit of waiting for him to go to bed on the spring equinox, so he didn't inform her. How come after a long journey, she had
Such leisurely and relaxed mood really left him scratching his head.
"Have you asked the doctor?" Chu Ling said coldly.
Lang Hao quickly replied, "Yes, but the nearest doctor is also in Zhuangzi, a hundred miles away. Grandma thinks it's troublesome, so she said she can just boil some medicine and take it."
Chu Ling frowned and was about to say don't listen to her, but then he thought that what Shi Chunfen was most afraid of was troublesome to others. If her trip was delayed because of asking a doctor, she would probably feel uncomfortable.
"That's all, I'll go take a look." Chu Ling sighed.
The wolf retreated with relief.
When Chu Ling came to Shi Chunfen's room, she was drinking the medicine that Yu Atu had just cooked. Fortunately, she was worried that she would not be able to adapt to it when she went out this time, so she grabbed some medicine, which came in handy now.
When she saw Chu Ling coming back, she subconsciously got up to pick him up, "Uncle..."
Chu Ling raised his hand to stop her movement, took a few steps forward, touched her hand, and asked, "Is it still cold?"
Shi Chunfen shook her head. Now that she had added a few more clothes, it was naturally not cold, but...she glanced at Chu Ling guiltily. Last night, she wore her underwear and waited for Chu Ling until midnight. If Chu Ling knew
, she’s not sure how to laugh at her Meng Lang!
Fortunately, Chu Ling did not dwell too much on this matter. He took the medicine bowl from Yu Atu's hand and said calmly: "As long as I'm here, please step back first."
Yu Atu glanced at him reluctantly. Every time Chu Ling paid attention to him, the appearance of the vernal equinox was as bright as the jade trees in the snow-capped mountains. It always made people unable to take their eyes away. Even if the other person was her cousin-in-law, she still couldn't help it.
Think about it, it would be better if the person he cares about is himself.
After she retreated, Chu Ling began to give medicine to Shi Chunquin.
Shi Chunfen was startled by his actions and quickly stopped him: "Uncle, can I do it myself?"
Chu Ling disagreed, "Sit tight and don't move around."
Shi Chunfen had to quiet down, staring at Chu Ling's every move with a red face. Shi Chunfen knew how beautiful his hands were, so having such beautiful hands to carry her a bowl and feed her medicine, Shi Chunfen felt inexplicably aroused.
A feeling of being blessed.
After drinking a bowl of medicine, Shi Chunfen's face turned red as if it was overripe. Chu Ling looked at her strangely and subconsciously touched her forehead, "Why does it feel like it's serious?"
Shi Chunquin shrunk in fright, wrapped himself tightly in quilt, and said with a guilty conscience: "Maybe the medicine has worked, and I'm having a fever!"
Chu Ling retracted his hand without doubting his presence, "Then take a good rest and wait until you feel better before setting off."
Shi Chunquin refused, and hurriedly got out of the quilt, "It's just a minor illness, it's okay. I can rest in the carriage, let's set off now!" She got out of bed too quickly, her feet slightly shaking.
He softened and threw himself directly into Chu Ling's arms.
Chu Ling reached out to catch her, raised his long and narrow eyebrows slightly, and looked at her with a half-smile, "A minor illness?"
Shi Chunfen blushed and avoided his gaze with a guilty conscience, begging: "Uncle, please allow me! I want the Lord of Huating County to calm down as soon as possible..."
Chu Ling was slightly startled. This was the first time she had begged him. Although this worry was unnecessary, he still couldn't bear to refuse. "Then we have to leave in the afternoon." He helped Shi Chunfen back to the bed and said seriously: "I still have to
Take a shower at the inn, you won’t be able to leave for a while, so you can rest here for a while, and I will come and call you after I have lunch.”
Only then did Shi Chunquin feel relieved and said, "Okay."
Chu Ling did not break his promise. After a brief rest, the team left the inn in the afternoon.
Shi Chunfen got on the carriage as she wished. She was still a little groggy because of her illness, but her trip was not delayed. She was still very happy in her heart. She knew that she could not help Chu Ling in any way, so the only thing she could do was to try her best.
Don't hold him back.
Fortunately, her body and bones were still in good condition, and her condition did not get worse along the way. Instead, she gradually improved due to the medicine. Chu Ling was a little worried at first, but then he became completely relieved and asked the coachman to drive as fast as he could. Finally, she recovered.
By the time, we arrived at Huating successfully.
Huating is a small county town with not many residents. However, due to the continuous mountains, its territory is wider than many state capitals. With the mountains and rivers as a barrier and the sky and the earth as the backing, it is a good place for natural military training.
Therefore, when the emperor gave this place to his sister, he also meant to allow her to cultivate a force.
The Lord of Huating County did indeed live up to the expectations of his imperial brother. In just twenty years, he conscripted 100,000 soldiers and trained a group of soldiers who could support the royal family at any time to prevent the ministers of the DPRK from plotting rebellion.
With such an army as a talisman, one can imagine the status of the head of Huating County. This is also an important reason why the Chu family has been able to stand firm in Liuzhou over the years.
