Chapter 1261 Wake
After holding on for two days, my eyes were red and swollen, my face was pale, and my whole body was weak, as if I might collapse at any time.
Chu Jingqi finally couldn't stand it any longer. He walked over, picked her up, and before she struggled, he coaxed, "Good boy, Ayu, be obedient. You have been here for two days and two nights without food or drink. If you continue like this, your body and bones will be damaged." You won’t be able to hold on anymore. I’ll take you to eat and then get some sleep. Then, I will continue to accompany you.”
In the past two days and two nights, Xia Zihan knelt here and did not move. Chu Jingqi also accompanied her. She did not eat or drink, and he did not eat or drink either. However, he was a man after all. His body was strong and he looked like he could still hold on. Live.
Princess Chu Yuexi and Princess Qinghui also knelt for two days and two nights. However, yesterday they were persuaded by the second prince and princess to rest for two hours, and then continued to kneel and guard.
Chu Jingqi followed Xia Zihan. If she didn't leave, neither would he. In fact, both of them had reached their limit.
Xia Zihan had not had a good rest for more than a month, and Chu Jingqi had not had a good rest on the way back in order to rush back. The two of them, who were already extremely tired, could hardly hold on after two days and two nights. .
Chu Jingqi's eyes were red, and she hugged Xia Zihan and went to her yard. Xia Zihan struggled desperately, and after she couldn't break free, she cried in his arms like a pitiful little beast.
When he arrived in her room, Chu Jingqi coaxed her for a long time before comforting her.
Chu Qing and several maids had also smartly gone to the kitchen to bring a table of food and put it on the table. Chu Jingqi hugged Xia Zihan and asked her to sit on his lap. He held her with one hand and fed her with spoonfuls with the other. She eats.
Just like an adult feeding a child, Xia Zihan shook his head and refused to eat after finally feeding half of the bowl.
"Then drink another bowl of soup." Chu Jingqi coaxed, "You have to eat more and drink more before you have the strength to continue to watch your grandmother's funeral. Otherwise, you will be so weak. How many days do you think you can last?"
Xia Zihan pouted her mouth, and when Chu Jingqi scooped up a small spoonful of soup and put it to her mouth, she opened her mouth again.
"I drink it myself."
After Xia Zihan drank three or four spoons of soup, he suddenly said.
Without waiting for Chu Jingqi to give her the spoon, she picked up the soup on the table, drank it all in a few sips.
After drinking, I was about to come down and wanted to go to the mourning hall.
Chu Jingqi hugged her with both hands and did not let go, with a very worried look on her face, "Ayu, you torture yourself like this, it makes me uncomfortable, please don't do this, okay? If you have any shortcomings, what do you want me and my two sons to do?" ”
"Grandma is gone, but you still have me, Xuan'er and Jie'er. We are your family. If you torture yourself like this, we will all worry about you."
The maids had all gone out, and they were the only two people left in the house. Chu Jingqi finally talked to Xia Zihan, and the couple immediately rested on the kang.
Perhaps they had not slept for too long and were extremely tired. This time, they slept until late in the night.
The two of them came together, ate something in a hurry, and then rushed to the mourning hall.
Xia Shiming and Zeng Yiran were keeping vigil in the mourning hall. When they saw the couple, Xia Shiming said, "Brother Ran and I will stay here tonight to keep vigil. Yuniang, Aqi, you go and have a rest. You can come again tomorrow night to keep vigil." ”
After dinner tonight, Xia Shiming went to Chu Yuexi and Chu Xuanyu to discuss the matter of keeping vigil for the Zeng family. We couldn't let a few young people keep vigil day and night without rest or sleep. No matter who it was, as time passed, the body would be damaged. It will also be too much to bear.
Moreover, Chu Yuexi had resolutely knelt down during the day and night. The task of entertaining guests fell to Xia Shiming and Chu Xuanyu. They were old and tired after a day, and at night they would not have the energy to kneel down and keep vigil. , no energy to replace Chu Yuexi and the others.
As a result, Xia Shiming and others discussed it, and they took turns to keep vigil at night. Xia Shiming and Zeng Yiran, Chu Yuexi and Princess Qinghui, Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi, six people keep vigil, one for each person. As for the others, such as Zhuo, Zeng Jing, and Liao Fangyi, they are busy entertaining guests during the day , were busy arranging things, and they were women with poor physical strength, so they were not asked to come to watch the night. After dinner, they were asked to kneel together for an hour, and then they went to rest separately.
As for Chu Xuanyu, he came out specifically to receive male guests.
He has a high status and respectable status. No matter who the visitor is, no one will feel neglected if Chu Xuanyu, the Prince of Anjun, comes to receive him.
"Dad, I just woke up after taking a rest. Please let me stay with my grandma." Xia Zihan didn't want to leave and begged to stay with tears in her eyes.
Seeing his precious daughter crying pitifully, Xia Shiming felt soft and was about to agree, but when he thought that his daughter had not slept for two days and two nights, she should go and rest more.
"Listen to dad and let him spend time with your grandma tonight. Your grandma has treated me well over the years, so I should also show my filial piety."
Xia Shiming coaxed Xia Zihan away with coaxing and orders.
After returning to the yard, Xia Zihan thought of her sons whom she had not interfered with for two days and two nights, so she and Chu Jingqi went to visit her two sons who lived in her west wing.
"Your Majesty, Princess."
As soon as the two of them entered the house, Nuanyu, who was sleeping on the wooden couch under the window, noticed them. He opened his eyes and saw that it was them who came in, so he quickly got up and sat down, which was a blessing to his body.
Fortunately, she had to get up at night to cover the two young masters, so she didn't take off her coat, so it wasn't considered rude.
"How can I send you to watch the night? Where are the other maids and nannies?" Xia Zihan glanced around the room. When he didn't find anyone else, he looked at Nuanyu and asked.
Nuanyu hesitated for a moment and said, "There are so many people in the house these days and it's chaotic. I don't feel comfortable letting other maids stay on duty at night. The wet nurse doesn't have time and is afraid of falling into a deep sleep..."
Nuanyu always worked carefully and cautiously, otherwise, she would not have been transferred by Xia Zihan to be the mother in charge of her two sons.
Nuan Yu was afraid that the Chu family had many enemies. She knew that the Chu family were all in the Chu Mansion and were busy with Mrs. Chu's funeral and had no time to take care of the children. She was worried that someone with bad intentions would take the opportunity to break into the Chu Mansion and do something to the Chu family and the two of them. Disadvantage for children.
Therefore, she personally stayed in the two children's houses at night and stayed on duty.
"Thank you very much." Xia Zihan thanked you, "I feel relieved that you are taking care of Xuan'er Jie'er."
"This is what a slave should do."
Nuan Yu responded.
Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi stayed in the west wing for a while before returning to the main room. Chu Jingqi said, "Ayu, there is still an hour and a half before dawn. You can rest for a while. You will have to kneel down during the day tomorrow." , I’m not in good spirits, but I can’t cheer up.”
Although Xia Shiming and others arranged for people to keep the vigil, they still had to kneel down during the day. However, when it was not their turn to watch the vigil at night, they could go to rest instead, which would save everyone's bodies and bones from being exhausted.
