After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

The next morning, Cuizhi pulled Wen Baizhi up.

Before she was fully awake, Cuizhi helped her dress and comb her hair, and finally carefully matched her headdress and earrings according to her clothes.

Wen Baizhi barely came to her senses until the last step of putting on the earrings.

She touched the earrings and asked, "Where are these earrings from? I don't remember having any of this style."

Cuizhi explained carefully: "This was personally delivered by Eunuch Ping'an before dawn today. There were five large boxes in total. When the young lady got married, she had a quarrel with her family and did not bring many valuables with her. I was worrying about what to wear when I went back to her parents' home today. Fortunately, Eunuch Ping'an helped me out of my urgent need."

Wen Baizhi looked at the boxes behind her that she hadn't had time to sort out yet: "Are these all delivered safely?"

Cuizhi: "Yes, I took a look and all the clothes are in the lady's size, and they are also the most popular styles in Kyoto at the moment."

Wen Baizhi stood up, walked to the box, opened it casually, and found that it was full of jewelry.

Cuizhi said, "Eunuch Ping'an said that the young lady is married to the governor after all, and she will represent the reputation of the governor's mansion when she goes out, so it is not good to treat the young lady badly in decoration."

Wen Baizhi said nothing, but picked up a white jade bracelet at random, held it between her fingers in the sunlight, and looked at it carefully.

As Wen Bai, although she had never seriously dressed herself up as a daughter and had little contact with these jewelry, she had seen pigs run even though she had never eaten pork.

The jade bracelet she was holding right now was of very good quality. If it were pawned, it would probably be enough to buy food for an average family for a year.

Wen Baizhi has not forgotten her wish to save more money and donate it to the border.

"From these jewelry and other things, just pick out some that are enough for my daily use. The rest can remain in the box and do not need to be moved. The same goes for clothes. I don't need so many." Wen Baizhi instructed calmly.

Although Cuizhi was confused, after all, no girl would dislike having too many clothes and jewelry, but she did not dare to say much and just wrote down what Wen Baizhi instructed.

After everything was cleaned up, Cuizhi took the carefully warmed breakfast from the food box beside her and brought it to the table.

Wen Baizhi was surprised and said, "If you hadn't woken me up so urgently, I would have thought I was running out of time. How come I still had time to eat breakfast?"

Cuizhi said, "These were also sent by Eunuch Ping'an. Eunuch Ping'an said that the governor had a high fever last night and would be delayed in getting up this morning. Therefore, you don't have to worry, you can still have time to leave by carriage after you have breakfast."

This morning was not the first time Wen Baizhi heard Ping An's name, but it was the first time she heard news about Si Jiu.

She sat down at the table and saw that this morning's dishes were her favorite fresh meat buns and wontons.

She grabbed a meat bun and stuffed it into her mouth.

Cuizhi stood aside holding a handkerchief and said, "My lady, how can you hold the buns with your hands?"

Because there was something stuffed in her mouth, Wen Baizhi's speech was a little unclear.

"How do you know? It's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious buns."

Cuizhi didn't understand, so she brought her another cup of tea.

After eating two buns, she wanted to finish the bowl of wontons, but she found that she had overestimated her current body. The two buns had made her burp.

Looking at the bowl of wontons, he said, "Pack the wontons carefully and bring them to the carriage. I will eat them when I am hungry."

Cuizhi was already used to her thriftiness. She found a lid, sealed the wontons, and put them into the food box and carried it in her hand.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she remembered what Cuizhi had just said.

"You said the governor had a high fever all night?"

Cuizhi was washing her hands for her: "That's what Master Ping'an said."

After everything was taken care of, Wen Baizhi walked out of the room and thought: "He wasn't so weak before."

The two walked all the way to the gate.

This was the first time Wen Baizhi saw the gate in three days.

After all, on the day she got married, she was sent directly to the small door in the backyard.

Ping'an had been waiting outside. He stood in front of a carriage pulled by two horses, which looked very luxurious from the outside.

Ping An came up to the luggage and said, "Greetings to Madam. Is everything ready?"

Wen Baizhi nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Master Ping'an, for the food and breakfast you brought. I enjoyed it very much."

Ping An did not dare to take credit for it, and said honestly: "I do not dare to take credit for it. The things I prepared for you, Madam, were prepared by our governor himself. The governor said that Madam did not like the light white porridge, so he sent me out to buy breakfast for you."

Wen Baizhi was a little surprised: "Is he, a governor, so idle?"

Ping An instinctively looked around to see if anyone else had heard this. "My dear lady, please just say this in front of Cui Zhi and me. Don't be so outspoken in front of others."

Wen Baizhi was a little embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, I was so carefree before and I wasn't used to being disciplined. I will pay attention to it in the future, and I will also let Cuizhi remind me more often."

Ping'an was relieved then, and he directed some servants to move things back and forth.

Wen Baizhi asked, "What are these?"

Ping An explained, "Madam, these are the gifts that the governor prepared for you to come back this time. These things will be placed on another cart and taken back to the Wen Mansion."

If we say that Wen Baizhi has no feelings in her heart until this moment, then it would be unfair to her.

She looked at the servants coming and going, but did not see Si Jiu.

Ping'an saw that she seemed to be looking for someone, and after a moment's thought he knew who she was looking for.

So he pointed to the carriage that had been parked for who knows how long and said, "Madam, the governor has already boarded the carriage."

Wen Baizhi looked towards the carriage. The curtains were tightly covered and she couldn't see anything inside.

"Didn't he say that he had a high fever all night and was worried that it would affect his time to go out?"

Ping An came close to her and replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Please take good care of our Du Gong today, Madam. Du Gong doesn't like people to get close to him. I only found out that he had a fever when I sent him home yesterday. He did ask Doctor Rong to treat him, but it didn't work. He was so sick this morning that he almost couldn't get out of bed. He didn't want to waste time, so he asked me to help him change his clothes. You know, no matter how serious Du Gong's illness was, he always insisted on dressing himself."

Wen Baizhi couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Did the governor often get sick before? Have you prepared the medicine for going out today?"

Ping An handed Wen Baizhi a gourd and said, "This contains the pills that Doctor Rong prepared for Du Gong. Take one pill three times a day. I haven't had time to take the pills this morning. I'm sorry to bother you, Madam."

Wen Baizhi carefully put the gourd away: "Don't worry, I will watch him take the medicine."

Ping An bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Madam. We will leave the care of our Governor's health to you."

Wen Baizhi wanted to say something else, but she heard the man's hoarse voice coming from the carriage: "It's getting late."

Ping An said no more and helped Wen Baizhi into the carriage.

As soon as Wen Baizhi entered the carriage, she felt very warm.

There was not only a couch in the carriage, but also a square table in the middle. Si Jiu was sitting at the table reading a book.

After just one night of not seeing each other, Wen Baizhi could tell something was wrong with Si Jiu the moment she saw him.
