withered prosperity

However, Xiao Ran's noise made Yan Hai move and opened his eyes.

"Steward Yan!" Xiaoran ran to his side as if he had received an amnesty: "What's wrong with you!"

"Xiaoran..." It took him some effort to see clearly: "What time is it?"

"Why didn't the manager call me when he was so seriously ill?" Xiaoran saw him shivering, and hurried to the outside to bring in her quilt and charcoal basin, and wanted to help him back to the bed, but she noticed that he was His body was cold but his forehead was hot, and he was immediately frightened: "Why are you shivering while having a fever, don't be swaying!"

This disease is fatal, and it will surpass others, and Xiaoran's movements of supporting him are stiff.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just suffering from cold and fever, not miasma." Yan Hai said weakly, "Help me to Mr. Mu in Nanyuan to clear away the heat."

"It's not going to work. I'll go to Director Wang and ask him to go to the Zhaixing Tower and ask the doctor to come over!" Xiaoran shook her head repeatedly: "How can I just take medicine by myself!"

"No need." Yan Hai refused him: "I'm not good at all, it's just that I didn't recover from the cold a few days ago, and now it's just a little repetitive, don't bother Mr. Wang."

"But……"

"Go quickly."

Seeing that he insisted, Xiaoran could only trot all the way to Nanyuan to get the medicine, and poured some water for him when he came back, and then went to ask Wang Taotao for leave.

"Sick again? Don't worry about any of them!" Wang Taotao has been in a bad mood recently, his mouth has blisters, and his eyebrows and eyes are frightening: "Forget it, you don't have to go to work today Come on, watch him carefully, don't let anything happen again."

Xiao Ran didn't dare to vent her anger, so she quickly agreed to resign and come out.

"Xiao Ran?" He hurried away, but was stopped again.

He turned his head and saw a man in the costume of a servant in the Shangge stopped him, he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was an acquaintance.

This man named Ding Ning was originally from the Lower Court like him, but he was upright and smart, and was transferred to the Upper Pavilion last month to serve him.

"How did you end up here?" The two of them got along well in the past, so they were very happy to see each other.

"Just sent me to send a letter to Mr. Wang!" Seeing that his grin was too big, Ding Ning quickly gave him a wink: "This is Miss Jingchan from our building, Miss Chilian's personal person .”

Xiaoran immediately stopped smiling after hearing this, and saluted respectfully and according to the rules.

"You guys talk for a while!" The girl named Jingchan didn't have much airs: "I'll just go and explain to Manager Wang."

"This girl is so pretty!" Seeing her entering the courtyard, Xiao Ran couldn't help praising her. He is now fifteen or sixteen years old, just the age when he starts to appreciate Shao Ai.

"Go, go!" Ding Ning slapped him on the head: "A dog can't spit out ivory, and you can talk about this girl!"

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but you look like a decent mess!" Miss Chi Lian came from a noble family, and she is also the favorite apprentice of the Pavilion Master. Not everyone can enter her Tianfeng Tower. Looking at Ding Ning Xiao Ran felt a little sour for a while with the new padded coat made of good material. "I actually went to the Tianfeng Tower, but you really belonged to me!"

"That's Tianfenglou, it's easier for you to think of me!" Ding Ning lowered his voice: "I'll have a chance to talk to you later."

At this time, Xiaoran also realized that although the monthly rewards in Tianfenglou must have been much more, that Miss Chilian is notoriously difficult to serve. He was punished and beaten, so he looked at him with some sympathy.

"The next big festival is over, and we two brothers will go get together at the foot of the mountain!" Ding Ning didn't pay attention to his eyes, and said while patting his chest, "My brother treats you."

"Brother, brother, you are obviously two months younger than me!"

"What's wrong with the two months, you kid is confused and not reliable in doing things, how can you look like a big brother?" Ding Ning immediately snorted: "If you haven't talked to someone easy to talk to in the past two years, I don't know if you have lost it." How many layers of skin!"

"Oh, I won't talk to you anymore." Xiao Ran remembered that she had to rush back: "Guan Yan is seriously ill, I have to go back and see him!"

"Who are you saying is sick?"

The two turned their heads, only to see Jingchan in a white shawl had come out, followed by Wang Taotao who was smiling.

"It's the steward he followed, who was in charge of purchasing and miscellaneous errands, and came to ask for leave today because of illness." Wang Taotao was extraordinarily considerate: "The festival is busy, it's not easy for everyone, Miss Jingchan has also worked hard."

"Is it Yan Hai... is Guan Yan?" Jing Chan nodded at him, looked at him and asked absent-mindedly: "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go to Zhai Xing Lou to ask for a doctor?"

"He has always been weak. He had been ill a while ago, so he probably hasn't got rid of the root cause of the disease." Wang Taotao hurriedly replied, "I was just thinking about asking Dr. Chu to come down and have a look at him!"

He is the head of the lower court, so naturally he doesn't need to please a servant, but Jingchan was brought in by Chi Lian from outside, and the friendship between master and servant is deep, which is different.

"But...Miss Jingchan knows our steward Yan?"

"There have been some friendships." Jingchan put her hands on her hair and smiled slightly. Her dark hair reflected her white wrists, and her beautiful complexion made everyone's eyes straighten. "It's rare for me to come here once. After hearing this, it's not easy to turn around and leave. Xiao Ning, go back and tell Jingyi that the arrangements have been made. I will visit my old friends and I will return before noon."

Ding Ning agreed, but Wang Taotao came to his senses now, and felt a little strange that she, a big maid in the cabinet, had any good relationship with the low-level steward in the lower courtyard, and where did her friendship come from.

"Then I'll go with the girl!" He rolled his eyes: "It's also good to see what's wrong with him, and give him a good place to settle."

"Director Wang is entangled in all kinds of things, so don't bother me with such trivial matters." Jingchan rebuffed him straight away: "This little brother can just take me there. As for Doctor Chu, I also asked Director Wang to come forward to invite me."

"You should, you should." Wang Taotao told Xiaoran who was standing there in a daze: "Then whoever, you take care of the steward Yan, and you must take care of it. If there is anything missing in the house, just come and tell me. .”

He said he was to lead the way, but it turned out that Xiaoran followed and returned to his own yard.

This Miss Jingchan seems to be able to learn martial arts. It seems that some of the servants in the court can also learn martial arts. I have to ask Ding Ning. If he has learned it, he may be able to teach himself two moves...

"Go in and take a look first." Jingchan stopped in front of the door, and said to the panting Xiaoran: "If you fall asleep, don't disturb him, I don't have to see him."

Panting for breath, Xiao Ran touched her head, feeling that the words didn't make sense, why did she come here on purpose without seeing each other?

"Wait a minute, girl!" Being stared at by such a pretty girl, Xiao Ran was at a loss what to do, and even got entangled with the door curtain when she opened the door.

"Xiao Ran?"

Hearing the question from the inner room, Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to let such a beautiful girl go for nothing.

"Steward Yan, are you okay?" He ran to the bed and said in a low voice, "I took leave of absence from Mr. Wang, and he asked me to stay in the room today to look after you. After a while, Doctor Chu came over, and the next day Miss Jingchan from the pavilion heard that you were sick, so she came to visit and was outside the door."

He spoke quickly and anxiously, Yan Hai was stunned for a moment before he realized it.

"Miss Jingchan?" Yan Hai looked in the direction of the partition: "Bring me the outer clothes, please come in!"

Jingchan entered the room and looked around.

The house was old and the walls were mottled and not bright. Although it was clean and tidy, it looked good to others, but in her eyes it was very gloomy and desolate.

"Miss Jingchan, it's been a long time." Yan Hai sat on the bed and said apologetically, "I can't afford to be polite, so please forgive me."

Xiaoran had already brought a chair and put it beside the bed, but she didn't seem to notice that Shi Shiran sat down on the bed far away from the bed.

Yan Hai sent Xiaoran to fetch water to make tea, and then said to her: "This room is simple, I'm neglecting the girl."

"It's quite crude."

After pouring the water, Xiaoran stared in surprise.

Miss Jingchan's tone towards Guanshi Yan was not a bit worse than Cai Cai's just now.

"Yan Hai." Jingchan's voice was lower: "I don't have to see you either."

She said this sentence outside the door, and said it again at this time, Yan Hai lowered his head, looked at the teacup in his hand, and touched the bottom edge of the cup unconsciously with his fingertips, but did not answer.

"Brother, I have a few words to say to you Guanshi Yan, please wait outside for a while."

Xiaoran, who was stretching her ears, found that Jingchan was talking to herself, so she had no choice but to retreat outside even if she was full of doubts.
