Chapter Fourteen

With the horse's hooves, the carriage that Xi Ningyu and his group rode in before sunset finally entered the county town where Huaizhou Prefecture is located. Huaizhou County is located in the central part of Xi Qinhuai Prefecture. There is no high mountain surrounding the county town, but there is a river that flows through Huaizhou, Ganzhou and enters the territory of the Qiangnu tribe, called Canghe. Huaizhou, Ganzhou is also a large grain-producing county in the Western Qin Dynasty under the nourishment of Canghe. The Huaizhou County Town is located just next to the main trunk of Canghe that flows through Huaizhou, so the surrounding villages and counties have fertile land and abundant resources.

"Xilulu~~~" With a sound of "Xi Lulu~~", the carriage was parked outside the gate of the "Anfu Inn" in Huaizhou County. The smart guy hurried forward to help stabilize the carriage. He greeted Xi Ningyu and others who were getting off the carriage with a smile.

"Customer, it's hard on the road. Where do you get the call? Do you stay in a hotel or eat? Although the dishes in our inn are not as good as those in the Imperial City restaurant, they are still one of the best in this Huaizhou county town. You have to try it..." The smiling guy said, without hesitation, saying the advantages of "Anfu Inn" without hesitation.

"I'm sure you talk too much! I want three rooms, so I'll bring us some food as soon as possible." Uncle Wen, who protected Xi Ningyu, said to the shopkeeper a little impatiently.

"Yes, yes, it's so small. Please, please, please."

"Come~~~~~~~~3 guest rooms. There is a table of food, so come on as soon as possible~~~~" The shop's shop spoke as soon as it entered the door. The sound was loud and the tone was thick, but it had a little taste!

As the few people entered the lobby of the inn, the shopkeeper went to explain to the shopkeeper the guest room and meals that Xi Ningyu and his friends wanted, and then he went to work hard for other guests. Yang Cheng, the young apprentice of Dr. Shi, who came with Xi Ningyu and his party, said, "Miss Xi, I won't eat the meal first. I want to tell the master first, you, Uncle Wen, and Miss Yuer will have a rest for a while. Maybe my master will come and ask you to help you see the doctor."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, go and tell Dr. Shi. As for when to go to see a doctor, please see Dr. Shi. Let's wait in the inn." Xi Ningyu thought for a moment.

"Yes, I'll say goodbye first, that girl." Yang Cheng said and left.

"Miss, I heard that there are several beautiful scenery in Huaizhou County. Should we go and have a look? Also, the kumquat pine meat cakes in Huaizhou are also very good, and the water bridge's overfire noodles are also good, and there is also..." Yuer, who had just sat down, said after seeing Yang Cheng leave.

"You girl, we have something to do when we come to Huaizhou County. Before we finish the matter, we don't have time to wander around. Don't make things difficult for the lady anymore. You are so ignorant!! This place is not familiar with the place, don't implicate the lady in danger!" Before Xi Ningyu could speak, Uncle Wen scolded Yu'er.

"But, I can't take a look at the doctor for the rest of my life. After finishing my work, I accompanied the lady to see the scenery. What's the matter? Humph! The lady finally came out, and Uncle Wen didn't know how to take us around to play, so he knew how to train people." Yu'er pouted her mouth, turned her face to the side, frowned, and her two little faces looked red because of her anger. Even Xi Ningyu was stunned for a moment.

"Okay, okay, after seeing the disease, let Uncle Wen accompany us to see the scenery and eat some delicious food in the county town. I just want to take this opportunity to walk around and see the scenery around Huaizhou county town. You don't have to make annoy this way, right? Uncle Wen is just afraid that we will encounter danger, so he is also caring. Look, you are really angry, so you should leave. Eat something to rest, maybe you will have to go out with me later." Xi Ningyu saw that Yu'er was really angry, so he spoke up and coaxed him.

"Hmph! It's still a tactful lady. Humph!" Yu'er turned around and picked up the chopsticks to eat after hearing Xi Ningyu's words.

"Hey~~ Miss, you spoiled her. How can you discipline her?" Uncle Wen sighed and shook his head slightly.

Xi Ningyu smiled slightly and didn't say anything, but said to himself: "I'm just a child all my life before me. What's wrong with playing with me?"

Yang Cheng, who came out of Anfu Inn, rushed all the way, and soon arrived at the residence of the official family where Doctor Shi was.

This official family is the county magistrate who serves as the county magistrate of Huaizhou County. He is the same rank as the highest chief administrative officer of Huaizhou. However, the prefect is in charge of the government of a county, and the county magistrate is in charge of the military preparations of a county.

After interrogating the servants of the county arch-protectional government, Yang Cheng met Dr. Shi.

"Master, Miss Xi has arrived at the county town. She is staying at Anfu Inn. Today, the situation of the county guardian will improve? Do you think that if you want Miss Xi to come to see the county guardian now?" Yang Cheng briefly informed Shi Hanxue and inquired about the patient's condition, then stood quietly.

"Well~~Miss Xi worked hard all the way, so I won't invite her to see the doctor today. The situation of the custodian is okay, although it has not improved, it has not deteriorated too much. Tomorrow, I should be fine. Let her rest for a night. Alas~~~ I really didn't expect that this visit would be so twists and turns. Is it really my medical skills... You have been tired for a day, so go down and rest for a while. Alas!" Shi Hanxue heard that Xi Ningyu had arrived at the county town and let the big stone slightly lower his heart, but he thought that he was helpless in the face of the patients who were seeing the doctor, and asked for help with others. He couldn't help feeling a little sad. After saying that, he waved his hand and asked Yang Cheng to go down and rest first!

After dinner, Xi Ningyu, who had sent Uncle Wen to rest first, stood outside the backyard guest room with Yuer.

"Miss, why don't you go into the house? Although it's summer now, it will be cold in a while. Let's go in earlier and rest. I think Dr. Shi will not come to ask us to help him treat the patient tonight. I'll wait for you to rest first?" Yu'er, who saw that Xi Ningyu had not yet returned to the room, couldn't help but persuade him. After all, this is a strange land, and although it's an inn, it's hard to save any trouble. Don't look at Yu'er yelling to go play before, but he still has a sense of safety in his heart, so he always feels inappropriate when he's staying outside for a long time.

"It's okay, how can this season be so cold." Xi Ningyu looked up at the stars in the sky, and a feeling of inexplicable decline rose slowly in his heart. I don't know why he always felt a little inexplicably melancholy since he left the small county town.

"Um~~~" Xi Ningyu stood for a while and thought about why he was so sad that he felt so sad. Then he murmured and called Yu'er to go into the room to rest.

Mu Mansion in a small county town.

"But Mom Yun is here?" The old lady An, who was lying on the bed, waved to Xie Yun, who had just stepped into the door with her medicine bowl in one hand, to come to the front of the bed.

"Mother, are you in better health?" Xie Yun sat beside the couch and greeted her after handing the medicine bowl to the maid who served the old lady.

"Hey, I haven't seen much better after taking these medicines. The doctor has changed three of them. My legs are still like this, and I feel even more powerless in recent days." An lies on the couch and shook his head helplessly.

"This... Mother, what if Huilang wouldn't go to Huaizhou County City tomorrow and invite a doctor from the county city to treat his mother? My daughter-in-law thinks that it is better than the doctors near this small town!" Mu Hui's wife Xie Shiyun Niang looked at her mother-in-law. Seeing that even the three doctors had not improved, she felt more anxious.

"Gulugulu~~~" After drinking the medicine, An handed the bowl to the maid who was waiting aside and wiped the medicine juice remaining on the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"This medicine is becoming more and more difficult to swallow. Alas~~ I am so old." After drinking the medicine, An slid down slightly and muttered.

"Yunniang, I have something to say when you say that," said An.

"What are your mother's instructions?" Yunniang sat upright and said.

"Do you still remember the girl you met when your father-in-law was seriously ill on the way back? The one who used needles for Huier's father halfway. Do you still remember?" An said.

After hearing An's words, Yunniang opened her eyes slightly and looked at her mother-in-law An and said, "What my mother is talking about is that girl Xi? My daughter-in-law naturally remembers that if it weren't for the timely injection of her father-in-law in the car, she would have been unable to support her and returned home at that time, so she would naturally remember."

After Yunniang finished speaking, she paused slightly and said hesitantly: "Is it because my mother wants to..."

"Yeah! Not bad, I want Hui'er to invite Miss Xi." An said.

"Actually, I wanted you and your wife to invite Miss Xi before, don't look at that girl. But since I gave acupuncture to your father-in-law before, and when I thought about the conversation between Dr. Shi in the city, I saw that the medical skills of the girl at the attendance were very extraordinary. But seeing you invited the doctor next to me one after another, I didn't want to refute your intentions. But after taking the medicine soup for so long, it's not effective. This disease is also a daily stimulation. I think that Miss Xi's medical skills are probably better than those doctors, so it's better to let Huier go to invite her tomorrow?" After An said, he looked at Yunniang.

"... Since the mother has this intention, the daughter-in-law should follow it. Besides, if the doctor asks for medicine, it will be beneficial to the condition if it is used with the intention. How can the daughter-in-law not follow it? Then I will ask Huilang to go tomorrow." Yunniang said.

"Yeah!" An saw that although his daughter-in-law was hesitant, she still agreed to what she said and nodded with great satisfaction.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law has a question in her heart. I wonder if my mother is willing to solve her doubts for her daughter-in-law?" Yunniang looked at An and asked.

"Oh? Why do you think about it?" An said.

Yunniang reached out to tuck An's quilt, which was slightly open because she turned her body, and then said, "The daughter-in-law doesn't understand very well. It seems that her mother attaches great importance to this girl in Xi. I don't know... this is, why is this?"

"Haha, Yun Niang doesn't need to worry too much. Wei Niang really likes that girl, but she won't be as worried as you are in your heart. I want you to invite her here, one is to diagnose me. Second, we have said that we hope she will come to her house when she is free, but for some reason we haven't seen that girl come here. Third, Wei Niang doesn't know why she is the girl who is so close to her. There is no other meaning, Yun Niang doesn't need to worry." Seeing that her daughter-in-law's words and expressions were depressed, An guessed the hesitation in Yun Niang's heart. She still likes this daughter-in-law very much, so in order to avoid misunderstandings that lead to a estrangement between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she explained what she thought in her heart, so that her daughter-in-law was not entertained and caused disagreement at home.

Seeing that her mother-in-law said this, the depression in her heart suddenly disappeared. There was a smile on her face.

"Even so, then my mother will feel at ease. I and Huilang will go to invite Miss Xi to see her mother in the morning." Yunniang said.

"Okay, I'll work hard tomorrow. It's not too late. Go and wait for Hui'er to rest. I'm fine." An said.

"The mother rested earlier, and the daughter-in-law returned to the room first." Yun Niang stood up and gave a bow, and slowly left An's bedroom.
