Chapter 219 Reducing Fever
Soon, it was time to end the morning exercise.
Anhuo said: "Let's practice here today and continue tomorrow."
Everyone reluctantly put down their bows and arrows.
Anhuo patted Su Yu on the shoulder and praised: "Very good, but don't be arrogant. You need to practice hard in the future."
Su Yu said: "Yes, Master."
As soon as the words were spoken, the guards brought breakfast and placed it on the stone table beside them.
Anhuo said: "Let's have our meal first, the master will take you back later."
Everyone sat down as instructed and began to enjoy breakfast. Su Yu felt that the master seemed too familiar with everything in the Jiang Mansion, as if he regarded it as his own home. Could it be because he was friends with the teacher?
Maybe so...
After everyone had their meal and left, Su Yu went to the lecture hall alone.
At the same time, in the general's mansion on the other side, the fifth lady Bai Yiling sat beside her brother's bed with a tired look on her face. She stared at her brother on the bed without blinking.
A sleepless night made her originally beautiful face look a little haggard, and just as the imperial physician Cui had predicted, her brother started to have a high fever that night.
She was extremely anxious and could only keep using a wet towel to cover her brother's forehead, wipe his neck to cool him down, and feed him medicine one mouthful at a time. She was busy all the time and did not dare to relax for a moment.
Finally, after a long and agonizing night, my brother's temperature slowly came down.
Bai Yiling touched her third brother's forehead again, and she murmured: "It's finally normal." Until this moment, Bai Yiling's tense heartstrings relaxed a little.
The maidservant Jianqiu looked at her mistress with distress. She gently advised, "Miss, you've taken care of the Third Young Master for a whole night. Now that the fever has subsided, you should have some breakfast and then have a good rest."
Seeing that the young lady was still looking at the third young master, the maid Jianqiu said again: "Miss, I and Antai are guarding here, you can rest assured!"
However, Bai Yiling just shook her head gently, her eyes still fixed on her brother. She replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'd better wait and see until my brother is completely stable."
"Sister Yiling, you've worked so hard to take care of me all night, you must be tired. Let fourth brother take care of third brother," Bai Mufan's voice suddenly came in, and then he stepped into the room, revealing a hint of concern in his words.
Bai Mufan went home yesterday and thought about it all night. He felt that he had to coax his sister first today, otherwise it would be bad if his sister went to tell her father some nonsense.
Bai Shu, the servant behind him, found his master very strange. What was wrong? Why was he coaxing the Fifth Young Lady again? In the past, it was always the Fifth Young Lady who came to please the master.
Bai Yiling saw that it was her fourth brother Bai Mufan. He was still the same handsome young man, but now all this had nothing to do with her.
She glanced at him lightly and stopped looking at him, then said in a cold voice: "Fourth brother, you'd better go out. You don't need to take care of things here. Jianqiu, please ask the fourth young master to leave."
Seeing that Bai Yiling was so disrespectful to him in front of the servants, Bai Mufan felt a little embarrassed. He snorted coldly, "No need, I can leave by myself", and then walked away with a cold face.
The maid Jianqiu felt very relieved when she saw this scene. The young lady should have done this a long time ago. The young lady didn't know, but she knew that the fourth young master had become more and more arrogant in recent years.
Bai Yiling felt that she was indeed a little tired at this moment, and she ordered: "Jianqiu, you guys watch here first, and notify me immediately if there is any situation with my brother."
The maid Jianqiu said: "Yes, Miss."
The two had just walked a short distance when the servant Bai Zhu complained: "How can the Fifth Miss speak to you like this? She will have to come and apologize to you on her own initiative."
Bai Mufan also took the servant Bai Shu's words to heart. In the past, Yi Ling always acted according to his temperament, and this time would definitely be the same.
Thinking of this, Bai Mufan's expression improved a little. Humph, he was waiting for her to apologize.
After leaving the general's mansion, the servant Bai Shu looked at Bai Mufan and suggested: "Young master, why don't you go to the tavern and have a couple of drinks."
Bai Mufan said: "No, the emperor may still be paying attention to my every move. I must not make another wrong step. Let's go to the military camp."
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several days have passed quietly.
On the bustling and bustling streets of Beijing, people come and go.
At this time, Chen Manli, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue, was seen walking slowly down the street with her half-sister Chen Qingqing in a very graceful manner.
Both sisters were dressed in gorgeous clothes, especially Chen Manli's embroidered clothes, which were particularly eye-catching, showing her noble status.
Just as they were strolling leisurely, suddenly, a ragged, disheveled little beggar appeared from nowhere and quickly ran to Chen Manli.
The beggar's face was covered in dirt. He held a worn-out porcelain bowl tightly in his hand, and he kept muttering, "Good-hearted lady, please be kind and give me a little copper. I beg you..."
As he spoke, he raised the dirty broken bowl high in front of Chen Manli.
Seeing this, Chen Manli was so frightened that her face turned pale and she subconsciously took several steps back.
Seeing this, Bi He, her personal maid standing behind her, rushed forward and stopped the little beggar with her hand. She angrily scolded him, "Get out of here! You filthy beggar, stay away from our young lady! Don't dirty her gorgeous clothes. They are made of high-quality and precious fabrics. With your poor appearance, I can't even afford to pay you back even if I sell you off!"
Chen Qingqing, the concubine's sister who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but feel sympathy for the pitiful little beggar in front of her.
She looked carefully at the little beggar's clothes full of patches and holes, and sighed in her heart.
So, she whispered to Chen Manli, "Sister, in my opinion, this little beggar is really pitiful. Why don't we be kind and give him a few copper coins?"
However, although Chen Qingqing felt very sympathetic towards the little beggar, she knew very well that as a concubine's daughter, her status was far less noble than that of her elder sister. Naturally, she did not dare to rashly go past Chen Manli to give money to the little beggar, so she only gave him such a tactful persuasion.
Chen Manli covered her nose with a handkerchief and scolded: "It stinks, Bihe, get him out of here, it has a sour and stinky smell."
Bihe walked forward again, pointed at the little beggar, and shouted: "Didn't you hear me? Get out of here now."
As soon as these words were spoken, the little beggar's begging hands shrank back a little in fear, and his head drooped in grievance.
At this moment, Qin Yuehua, who was also strolling on the street, inadvertently caught a glimpse of this scene.
She walked over, reached into her purse without hesitation, took out a few copper coins, and gently placed them in the little beggar's tattered bowl.
Seeing this, the little beggar's face suddenly broke into an ecstatic smile. He kowtowed to Qin Yuehua repeatedly, muttering in his mouth: "Thank you, kind lady!"
After bowing, he happily clutched the hard-earned copper coins in his hand and ran away, jumping and skipping.
Chen Manli, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel unhappy at this moment.
She frowned slightly, walked forward with light steps, forced a seemingly friendly smile on her face, and took the initiative to greet Qin Yuehua: "Sister Qin, you are really kind-hearted!"
Qin Yuehua simply glanced at her calmly and replied, "Then I hope Miss Chen can be more kind in the future."
After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Chen Manli, turned around and left with the maid Tingyu beside her.
Watching Qin Yuehua's graceful back as she walked away, Chen Manli gnashed her teeth in anger and couldn't help but curse silently in her heart: "Humph, isn't it just relying on being the Prime Minister's granddaughter? What's so great about that! She's so arrogant and complacent, and she even pretends to be kind and benevolent. It's just a pretense, deliberately done for others to see!"
Meanwhile, her half-sister Chen Qingqing stared intently at Qin Yuehua who gradually disappeared in the crowd, thinking to herself: "She is worthy of being the granddaughter of the prime minister. Not only is she outstanding in appearance, but she is also kind-hearted and has noble character. She is truly peerless and unparalleled in the world."
