Li Can fell asleep for about half an hour when the maid guarding the door came to report that Xu Jingxuyuan was coming.
Grandma Zhang looked at Tang Cake: "Did you send someone to invite Xu Yuanzheng?"
"No." Tang Cake shook his head, then asked, "Tang Qiu, did you send someone there?"
"I didn't." Tang Qiu shook his head innocently.
Several people looked at each other, no one knew why Xu Jing came suddenly.
"Let's invite people in first." Nanny Zhang said, "It just so happens that I'm also worried about whether the girl's excessive use of the soothing soup will harm her health."
"Yes, let's go together to greet him." Tang Cake walked out first.
The rest of the people also followed out and greeted him outside the corridor.
"Xu Yuanzheng."
Several people saluted together.
"You're welcome." Xu Jing held the medicine box on his back and raised his hand in an approachable manner.
"Why is Xu Yuanzheng here suddenly?" Tang Cake asked politely.
"Uh..." Xu Jing paused and then said: "I came to give the lady a follow-up examination. I thought that I haven't felt the girl's pulse in some days, so I thought I would take the girl's pulse by the way. Is it convenient for the girl?"
"The girl took some soothing soup and fell asleep." Tang Cake replied: "The slaves feel that the girl used too much soothing soup. I'd like to ask Xu Yuan to take a look at it."
"It's easy to talk about." Xu Jing stroked his beard and nodded.
Tanggao and the others led him into the inner room and opened the bed curtains.
Li Can was fast asleep.
"Xu Yuanzheng, please." Tang Cake flattened Li Can's hand and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing his white wrists.
Xu Jing put his hand on it, closed his eyes and examined it carefully, then opened his eyes after a while.
"How?" Candy asked.
"Girl, you are in good health." Xu Jing said, "It's just that you can eat this soothing soup once or twice occasionally, but you can't eat it all the time. It's not good for your health."
"yes."
Several people returned together.
"The girl took too many tranquillizers, is she okay?" Tang Qiu asked again, worried.
"As long as the calming soup is not too excessive, it's fine." Xu Jing waved his hand: "It's just that the girl may have to sleep for a few more hours this time."
"It'll be fine if nothing happens."
Several people were relieved.
"In that case, I will go back first." Xu Jing picked up the medicine box again.
"My slave sent someone to drive a carriage. Xu Yuan is returning." Tang Gao quickly followed.
"No, there's a carriage coming from my house." Xu Jing flatly refused.
After leaving Jing'an Marquis Mansion, he got on his carriage and told the apprentice driving the carriage: "Go to the East Palace."
He also had to go to His Highness the Crown Prince for a follow-up visit. Yes, he was not here to review Mrs. Lin, but to see Miss Li Qi on the order of His Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Prince is really very meticulous in taking care of Miss Li Qi. He also paid attention to it even after eating too much soothing soup, tsk.

Li Can only slept until noon the next day.
She opened her eyes, her eyes were a little confused, her mind was empty, she couldn't think of anything for a moment, it seemed like she had slept for a long time, but she didn't seem to have fallen asleep, and she felt indescribably uncomfortable.
Tanggao carefully opened the bed curtain and saw that she was awake. She couldn't help but feel happy: "Girl, you're awake."
"What time is it?" Li Can frowned slightly, his voice slightly hoarse.
"It's already the second day. The girl has been sleeping since yesterday afternoon until today. The slaves are all worried." Tang Cake replied to her.
"I'm fine." Li Can raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Girl, are you up?" Tang Cake continued, "I have to go to the restaurant later."
"What are you doing in the restaurant?" Li Can blinked his eyes strangely.
"Miss, have you forgotten?" Tangcai reminded her: "Yesterday, you asked my aunt, Madam, and said that you would go see my son today.
Madam Auntie and the matchmaker just arrived."
Li Can was stunned for a moment before she remembered what happened yesterday, and inevitably thought of Zhao Zong. She suppressed the sadness in her heart, stood up and nodded: "Okay."
"Girls, what are you wearing today?" Guangdong led the maids and came forward with several brand-new dresses.
Li Can took a quick look and shook his head: "I don't want either."
She lowered her eyes and thought about it and said, "Take the Nansi double-breasted feather gauze skirt and tie it into a nine-cup bun for me."
That Nan silk double-breasted feather gauze skirt is made of extremely rare Nan silk from the Nambisha country. It is covered with a layer of gauze like cicada wings on the outside. It looks clear white in the inner room, but as long as you step out into the sunshine
When pressed, it will turn into a light colored luster, which is beautiful.
Last month, she went to the Nishang Pavilion and fell in love with this dress at first sight. The shopkeeper also said that Quan Dayuan only wore this dress.
She bought them without hesitation, but because Zhao Zong did not allow her to wear these clothes, she kept them in the closet. Now she can wear them.
Tang Cake opened her mouth to persuade her, but Tang Qiu grabbed her and shook her head gently.
Tang Cake hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
It was quiet inside and everything was in order.
After he had finished washing himself, Li Can stood up and looked in the bronze mirror.
"The girl is so beautiful!"
Tang Qiu was an upright person, but no matter how depressing the atmosphere inside was, he spoke straight away.
"Yes." Candy also agreed: "Girls will get haircut next year, so they shouldn't always wear double-snail buns. She looks much better now than she did that week."
Tang Cai pushed her, but this person couldn't speak clearly. What was Miss Zhou saying? She really didn't pick up the pot.
Guangdong also knew that he had made a mistake, and said hurriedly: "Girl, I will go and let someone set breakfast."
"No, I'm not hungry." Li Can held up the hem of her skirt and went outside: "Let's go, don't keep my aunt waiting."
Tang Cake didn't dare to dissuade her, so they all followed her.

main hall.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Lin were talking to Li Shi and the matchmaker.
"Grandma, aunt, eldest aunt." Li Can bowed to the three elders first, then turned to the matchmaker, with a look of confusion on his face.
"This is your Goddess Feng." Mrs. Li said with a smile.
Matchmaker Feng is the first-class official matchmaker in the Imperial City. She is known by name in Zhaoyin. I dare not say that all the marriage affairs of the children of wealthy families in the Imperial Capital are in her hands, but she is still required to mediate them.
Mrs. Li asked Li Can to call Matchmaker Feng "Feng Qanniang" because she wanted to give her face. There were so many girls in the family and her husband had never gotten married, so he would have to rely on others more in the future.
"Feng Qanniang." Li Can bowed again.
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Matchmaker Feng stood up and looked her up and down, her face full of affection: "Oh, is this the seventh brother in the house? It's not an exaggeration to compare this boy to the Nine Heavens Fairy.
As long as she nods, the marriage will be finalized today."
The girl is called "Brother", which is a very favorite nickname. Her role as a matchmaker depends on her mouth, and she can speak nice words naturally and fluently.
However, today's words are somewhat sincere. In addition to the childishness of a little girl between the eyebrows and eyes, the seven girls in the Jingan Marquis Mansion have absolutely no choice in appearance. She has seen so many girls.
, this girl looks very good.
"It would be great if it works." Mrs. Lin said with a smile, "If it doesn't work, I have to trouble Feng Ganniang."
"It should, it should." Matchmaker Feng looked at Li Can, the more she looked at him, the more she fell in love with him. She smiled and said, "I said the old lady must have met Xia Erlang.
He is the youngest son of the Anlehou Mansion. He is seventeen this year, three years older than the seventh girl, and he looks good and tall. You will know when we meet him later."
"I met that kid a few days ago. He has a good appearance." Li Shi said.
"Look, with the aunt from Duke Pingning's house having a look, can I be wrong?" Matchmaker Feng said with a smile, "In that case, let's set off. Will the old lady go?"
"I won't go." Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I can rest assured that my eldest daughter-in-law and Shi'er will do my eye care for me."
"Okay, then let's go with the four of us, which happens to be an even number." Feng said with a smile.
As long as everything is related to marriage, for the sake of good luck, no matter what you do, you must take an even number.
As a first-class official matchmaker, Matchmaker Feng naturally remembers these rules firmly.
"Go ahead, thank you for your help." Mrs. Li stood up and saw her off.
Matchmaker Feng said a lot of kind words, and then she went out first.
Li Can took a step back and supported Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin looked at her and smiled: "How about taking a ride in your carriage?"
Whenever she is around, Xin'er always remembers to support her and take care of her. A daughter is more considerate than a son.
"Of course." Li Can smiled at her.
Ms. Lin felt sour in her heart. This child obviously had something on his mind, but he still pretended to be a normal person. He was so sensible and heartbroken.
She had always felt that this child was still as childish as when she was a child, but now it seemed that Xin'er had quietly grown up without her noticing.
After getting on the carriage, Mrs. Lin took Li Can's hand and said lovingly: "Xin'er, did you go to see each other because you wanted to see me today, or did you go to see me out of anger?"
"Auntie, I'm not angry." Li Can gently shook his little head.
What right does she have to be angry?
"Auntie is telling you," Mrs. Ling said solemnly, "Looking at each other is not a child's play. You must not just nod your head and agree to someone else's marriage just because you are angry."
