Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 284 The Name of Lucky Star
It was my first time in Kyoto and it was near the end of the year, so everything was very busy.
Even so, the families who received the letter did not ignore the Chen family.
Today, either the Xue family sisters and brothers invited me to go out on the street, or some young man from another family asked me to play Cuju or polo.
On the return carriage, Qingzhu showed a rare look of fatigue. "These past few days have been lively, but also very tiring. I'm going to let us enjoy all the fun things."
"We wanted to let you take a look at all the new things in Kyoto, but we didn't expect to cause you trouble. It's really our fault." Xue Mingxiang felt a little apologetic after hearing this.
"Second sister, look, I told you to go out more often and not stay in the medicine room all the time, but you just wouldn't listen. You're tired after just two days of playing. Look, I'm not tired at all."
The lime looks like a complaint, but it actually helps.
When the girls heard this, they all started laughing.
"By the way, are you all ready for this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet?"
"What do you need to prepare? Isn't it just about eating?" The three of them looked confused. Wasn't he told them what to prepare?
Second Madam Xue had already helped prepare the clothes, and had hired a nanny to take care of the etiquette these days. She also mentioned the taboos and precautions of entering the palace three times a day.
What else is there to do?
The girls from the Xue family looked at the three men with fearless expressions. Actually, this was a good thing. If they said too much, they would just be worried.
"Nothing, you just followed us that day, eating, drinking and having fun."
Xue Mingyu hugged Qingzhu, his tone relaxed.
The girls were talking and laughing when the carriage suddenly stopped and remained motionless for a long time.
"What's going on outside?"
"Miss, I don't know what happened up ahead. There are a lot of people gathered around."
"See if there's another way to go. Let's go around it."
"Yes."
Xue Mingxiang didn't want to cause trouble, so he only took the girls out to play today. None of his brothers accompanied him. Although he brought guards, it was always better to be cautious.
Outside the carriage, the crowd grew larger and larger. The driver tried to turn around several times, but was always blocked.
Xue Mingxiang frowned, feeling a little uneasy. She lifted a corner of the car curtain and saw a woman kneeling in the middle of the road, holding an unconscious child. She pleaded tearfully, "Please, everyone, please save my child! He's dying!"
Seeing this, Qingzhu frowned slightly. As a doctor, how could she stand by and watch someone die without helping?
"I'll go down and take a look."
"You can't go. That woman is so strange. She just keeps calling for help. There is a clinic next to her. If she was really in a hurry, she wouldn't kneel at the door of the clinic but just block the way." Xue Mingyu could see clearly that the woman didn't look like she was poor.
Xue Mingxiang pondered for a moment, "Second sister is right, less trouble is worse than more. Let's take a look first."
The woman begged and cried for a long time, but no one came forward to help. Then someone in the crowd shouted, "Isn't that the car of Old Duke Xue? The old duke loves his people like his own children, so why would someone in his family just stand by and watch someone die without helping?"
When one person spoke, many people followed suit.
Seeing the discussions outside growing louder and louder, the people sitting in the car couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Everyone, the girl in the car is from our Xue Mansion. How can she show herself so casually? You are so unreasonable. There are so many people on the street, why are you only targeting our Xue Mansion?"
The driver's words made sense, and the crowd agreed.
Without waiting for any further action, the woman holding the child suddenly ran to the front of the carriage and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Please, Madam Xue, please be kind and save my child. I kowtow to you."
As he spoke, he hit his forehead with several powerful blows, causing it to bleed.
The guards came close but were unable to take action.
"Xue Ping, take this sister-in-law to the clinic. All expenses will be borne by my Xue family."
Xue Mingxiang knew that this must be directed at them, and she didn't want to cause trouble.
Xue Ping accepted the order and wanted to take the woman with him.
Unexpectedly, the woman was completely indifferent and simply said, "My child's illness can't be cured at any clinic. I've already visited every clinic in Kyoto."
"I heard that the lucky star has entered the capital, so I am staying in your house. I wonder if you can ask the lucky star to come out and spread some blessings to my child and save him."
If they felt something was fishy before, now they were 100% sure that it was directed at them, no, at Qing Ning.
"Why are you talking nonsense, woman? There is no such thing as a lucky star. The people in this carriage are just noble ladies from the Xue family."
Xue Ping looked serious, and the woman started talking.
"My dear, please don't lie to me. This lucky star's reputation has spread everywhere. I ask nothing but the lucky star for mercy and to save my child!"
The woman was crying and her voice was moving.
The people who were surrounding her all showed sympathy for the woman and asked for help.
The people in the car listened to the noise outside and looked at each other silently, frowning.
If I ignore it now, in front of everyone, it would be as simple as giving people a chance to talk about me.
"I'll go down and take a look."
"No."
Qingzhu took a deep breath and said, "I'll go down and see if the child is just as the woman said. Besides, being passive like this is not a solution."
There was no other way at this time, so Xue Mingxiang whispered a few words in Qingzhu's ear, asking her to be careful.
"Sister Ziqiao, please follow Second Sister down."
The two men got off the carriage and walked up to the woman.
The whispers around him reached his ears.
"Is this the little lucky star? Is he this small?"
"Then why is it called Little Lucky Star? It's not small after all."
"Is she really that amazing?"
"do not know."
......
The voice disappeared in his ears, but Qingzhu remained unmoved. He walked up to the woman and squatted down, "Auntie, may I take a look?"
The woman looked up and saw a girl dressed in simple and elegant clothes with a cool temperament. A strange look flashed in her eyes, "It's useless, girl. The doctor has already seen it."
As she spoke, she cried even harder and refused to let Qingzhu see her.
Qingzhu frowned, looked at the woman, then turned to look at the child in her arms.
The child's face was dark blue and gray, and he looked like he was seriously ill.
"Miss Chen, I don't think this aunt trusts you."
Ziqiao said to Qingzhu.
Qingzhu's eyes darkened. "Of course. I'm only a few years old and I don't have any abilities. I just want to see if I can help."
After saying this, she turned around and was about to get into the car. The woman heard her name and saw that she really looked like a child. She hurriedly said, "Please, lucky star, save my child."
Qingzhu said in embarrassment: "I am not a lucky star, please don't misunderstand me, auntie."
"Yes, yes, please save my child, girl."
The woman became even more certain that Qingzhu was the one and just begged her to save him.
Qingzhu reached out and took the child's pulse, carefully examining it for a moment, his brows furrowed. He was afraid that it would be difficult to save the child with this pulse condition.
She was about to speak when the child in her arms suddenly moved and slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing this, the woman immediately hugged the child and cried out, "He's awake! He's awake! You're really a lucky star! Girl, you are really our lifesaver!"
Qingzhu was at a loss for a moment, but Ziqiao helped her up and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, young lady."
The crowd around them saw this and began to discuss it. Some even exclaimed in admiration, "Is this really a lucky star? All the hospitals in Kyoto couldn't cure it, but this girl just touched the patient and he woke up. If this isn't a lucky star, what is?"
"Yeah yeah."
The responses came one after another, and every word of blessing came crashing down on Qingzhu, making him extremely frightened and uneasy.
Naturally, some people believe it and some don't, but before these disbeliefs and doubts are expressed, they are buried by other voices.
"Auntie, I think it's because of your kindness and good deeds that the child has been rewarded. Now that he's awake, why don't you take him to the clinic? If you don't have enough money, I have some here so you don't have to pay me back."
Ziqiao didn't want to have any more interactions with her, so she handed over some silver and wanted to send the woman away.
The woman pretended not to hear and said, "It must be the blessing of a lucky star. I have heard that Chen Qingning, the third daughter of the Chen family, is a lucky star. Seeing her today, she is indeed extraordinary."
She said this in a very loud voice.
Ziqiao sneered, "Has this lady met the third daughter of the Chen family?"
"I haven't seen it, I've only heard of it."
"Then how can you be so sure that the girl next to me is the third daughter of the Chen family?"
The woman was stunned, her eyes lingering on Chen Qingzhu and Ziqiao for a few times, but she didn't dare to recognize them.
"I'm not the third daughter of the Chen family. My last name is Chen. I think this aunt has recognized the wrong person. Now that the child is awake, we should rush to the hospital."
After saying that, he got into the car without waiting for the woman's reaction.
Seeing this, the crowd quietly dispersed to let the vehicles pass.
Inside the car, several girls looked at each other, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Xue Mingxiang's face was heavy. "That woman came here deliberately for Qing Ning. Her words and actions were strange. I don't know who was behind this."
"I will report this to Grandfather in detail after returning home. I'm afraid the capital will be in turmoil."
Then he looked at the three sisters of the Chen family, wondering whether it was right or wrong to let her go to Beijing with him this time?
After returning to the Xue Mansion, the girls told Old Duke Xue and others everything that had happened today.
That night, Duke Xue took his son to Yu's house and returned late at night.
