Chapter 9 Xia Taoyuan pretends to be sick
Xia Taoyuan had nothing to do, so she told Zhu'er that she could go for a walk in the garden by herself. After she took a few steps, Zhu'er trotted after her and whispered, "Miss, you never go to the garden alone before. You must have someone to accompany you."
Xia Taoyuan thought about it and realized that even if the daughter of the prime minister went to her own garden, she should have a maid to take care of her, just in case. But she was reckless. She smiled at Zhu'er and went into the garden together.
After sitting on a stone bench to bask in the sun and look at the scenery for a while, he said to Zhu'er, "Zhu'er, will Yu'er and Cui'er come back today?"
Zhu'er replied, yes.
Xia Taoyuan thought Zhu'er was a good kid, so she didn't say anything extra. In a situation like yesterday, anyone would have many questions, but Zhu'er acted as if nothing had happened. She would answer one question at a time and wouldn't say more. This was very reassuring, and it must be because the housekeeper and Grandma Zheng had taught her well.
She continued, "Will my voice cause any misunderstanding?" Her voice was rougher than Wei Zhiying's, whose voice was melodious, crisp and pleasant to the ear. People who had known each other for a long time could tell the difference immediately.
Zhu'er raised her little face and looked at her, saying, "Miss, why don't you pretend to be sick and say you have caught a cold? Stay upstairs and cough intermittently when you return. When Yu'er and Cui'er come back in the evening, I'll tell them that your throat hurts and even your voice has become hoarse. In the future, just say it can't be changed back. Anyway, no one can tell from your appearance!"
This coincided with Xia Taoyuan's opinion. Zhu'er was a very smart girl, and he couldn't help but like her even more.
After sitting for a while, the master and servant left. On the path to the Sakura Garden, Xia Taoyuan coughed from time to time, pretending to do so in front of the maids and servants in the distance.
It was not until the evening that I finally saw Yu'er and Cui'er, both of whom were little girls of fifteen or sixteen years old. They were both cute and playful, and they loved to talk. They chattered with Zhu'er about the things in the general's mansion. Zhu'er also told her that Ling'er and her brother Xia Boqing had returned to their hometown.
Xia Taoyuan coughed more and more severely, and said with difficulty that he wanted to drink water. Yu'er quickly poured water and helped Xia Taoyuan drink it. Then she said with a look of heartache: "Why are you sick? I have told you many times that although the weather is warm now, it is still a little cold in the morning and evening. It would be better to go to the garden at noon."
Cui Er gently helped her lie down. She pretended to speak, and Cui Er scolded her: "Save your energy, don't talk, and point out what you want to tell me."
Xia Taoyuan secretly laughed. The little girl had a bad temper. It seemed that although Wei Zhiying was a rich lady, she was very kind to the maids.
Zhu'er brought her a bowl of herbs for her to drink. Xia Taoyuan pretended to be so thorough that she drank the bitter medicine in one breath. This was what she asked Zhu'er to prepare during the day.
In this way, Xia Taoyuan coughed occasionally until he fell asleep.
The next day, Xia Taoyuan pretended to be a voice for another day, but she felt too tired and her voice returned to normal at night. She told her maids that she had a dream during her nap, in which an old immortal with a white beard handed her a pill, and after taking it, her illness was cured, but her voice was not as pleasant as before.
The maids only care about the young lady's good voice as long as she is happy.
Another day, while Yu'er and Cui'er were downstairs, Xia Taoyuan asked Zhu'er, "Has the young lady ever left the house before?"
Zhu Er guessed that she wanted to leave the house, and smiled, "Young lady is a person who can't sit still. She likes to be lively and often goes out to play."
Before Xia Taoyuan could ask again, Zhu'er said considerately, "Miss always brings two people with her every time she goes out. In the past, the four of us took turns to accompany Miss with two people each time."
Xia Taoyuan asked: "You don't want to bring servants? What if a bad guy kidnaps the lady?"
Zhu Er burst out laughing and said, "This is the capital of the North Vietnam Dynasty. There are often soldiers patrolling the streets, so accidents rarely happen."
Xia Taoyuan didn't say anything. She wanted to go out and see a little. She was so idle these past two days that she was almost sick. She really admired the determination of the ancient people. She actually began to miss the life of working overtime every day in the company.
Xia Taoyuan went as soon as she said she would. She packed her clothes and took some silver. Zhu'er said that she took Ling'er and Cui'er with her last time, and this time it was Zhu'er and Yu'er's turn. Xia Taoyuan had originally planned to take Zhu'er with him, so this was just the right time.
