Chapter 37 Staying Overnight
Zeng rented an inn for everyone to rest, and placed the coffin in a temple outside the town, with several people guarding it.
At night, Xia Zihan fell asleep after drinking the medicine. Xia Shiming came to stay with her all night. He didn't leave her room until dawn.
The next day, Mrs. Zeng gave some instructions to Nuanyu and the others, and left Qingmei and sixteen guards behind. After lunch, the funeral procession set off.
From the window on the second floor of the inn, the Yu family held Xia Zihan's arm and looked at the funeral procession that was getting further and further away.
It wasn't until the team had gone far that the Yu family member said, "County Master, go back to bed and rest. When you feel better in a few days, we will go to Yi'an and see the old lady."
< br>
"Okay." Xia Zihan obeyed and went back to bed with the help of his family.
After lying down, she remembered something, "Nanny, go and ask the guard to buy some honey."
"Haha, you must be greedy. Okay, I will go and tell the guards now." Seeing her asking for food, the Yu family thought she was greedy, so they quickly responded and then went out to tell the guards.
Xia Zihan smiled and didn't explain much.
If you are not acclimatized, drinking more honey water will help you get better faster.
In her previous life, she had experienced difficulties on her way to Yi'an.
Later, my grandmother learned that eating honey water would reduce Yi's acclimatized constitution, so she sent someone to buy ten kilograms of it back and asked Nuanyu to make water for her to drink every day.
Later, when she married and moved to Yifeng Town, she never felt acclimatized again.
But in this life, her acclimatization situation became serious. Her grandmother was worried about her health, so she had no choice but to leave her in the town to recuperate.
Nuanyu borrowed the inn's kitchen, stewed the medicine and brought it in, "County Master, drink the medicine quickly, the temperature is just right."
"I'll do it myself." Xia Zihan took the bowl from her hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Nuanyu looked at it, dumbfounded.
In the past, the county chief was afraid of the pain when taking medicine, so they had to coax her for a long time every time. They also had to give her candied dates and longan dried meat to make her drink the medicine. Could it be that the medicine prescribed by the doctor this time is not bitter?
"County Master, is the medicine bitter?" Nuanyu subconsciously asked what was on her mind.
It was bitter, how could it not be bitter, but compared with the bitterness she had endured in her previous life, what was this little bit of bitterness?
Xia Zihan raised his eyes and asked, "Do you want to try it?"
"Hehe, no need." Nuanyu smiled sarcastically.
Xia Zihan handed her the empty bowl.
……
Seven days later, Xia Zihan's body had almost recovered. He could eat, drink, run and jump, and his complexion was rosy and shiny.
Xia Zihan decided to leave for Yi'an immediately.
Qingmei disagreed, "The old lady told me when she left that you can rush there before the old man's funeral. There are still more than ten days left. You can't delay important things by resting here for a few more days."
"I am the only descendant of the Chu family. How can I arrive too late for such a big event as my grandfather's funeral?" Xia Zihan said.
She glanced at Qingmei lightly and sent her out, "You go down and prepare the carriage first."
Qingmei was a little reluctant and wanted to persuade her to change her mind, "If you rush to Yi'an now, you can't do anything to help the old lady. You might as well stay here to rest for a few more days."
The most important thing is that it is much easier and more comfortable for her to serve the county lord than to serve the old lady.
The old lady was very discerning, and when she was waiting by her side, she was half-distracted and did not dare to relax.
But serving the county master is different.
The county master is easy to fool, and there are Nuanyu and several people around him to take care of him, so there is no need for her to wait on her front and back.
