Traveling through time and space

Chapter 16 Grandmother is Sick

"Same here." The eldest brother sat down and picked up a lion's head for Cai Yuanyuan. There were four on the plate, and there was only one left for the two of them to eat.

"Shao Wu, you really love your sister."

"Of course, she's my biological sister, so why should she love you?" The eldest brother said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, I'm not trying to steal it from you."

"Brother, I'm hungry. Gentlemen, please don't be polite. Yuanyuan is not from a wealthy family, so her behavior is inevitably a bit bold. Don't mind it." Cai Yuanyuan really doesn't like the behavior of young ladies from wealthy families.

"Shao Wu, where did your old lady dig out such a treasure? However, it suits my taste very well. Little girl, I am a good friend of your eldest brother. From now on, you can call me eldest brother. I am Lu Bai."

"This young master is the same. This young master doesn't like those beautiful women either. They make me feel depressed."

"Okay, Yuanyuan, even though they may seem unruly, they are all good people. They come from a family that my grandparents are familiar with."

"Brother, do you mean that calling them Big Brother will only benefit Yuan Yuan and not harm him?"

"Of course, this Lu Bai is an official. Although he is not very old, he is already a fourth-rank official at such a young age. This brother Zhu Zhe is also a good businessman. How should I put it? He is even better than my eldest brother."

"Brother, if you agree, brothers, I'll offer you a dish instead of wine. I wish you all a bright future and happiness every day." Cai Yuanyuan raised her bowl and clinked it with each of them. Looking at the three people opposite with their mouths wide open, Cai Yuanyuan asked curiously, "What's wrong, brothers?"

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that this is the first time we've seen such a recognition ceremony. The gift for my sister will be sent to the mansion later." Lu Bai nodded.

"Shaowu, is she like this in the mansion too?" Zhu Zhe asked.

"It's better than this. She is very well behaved in front of grandma," said the eldest brother.

"Brother, Yuanyuan doesn't want to be that kind of good girl. She's just pretending to be that way because she's afraid of making Grandma angry. Yuanyuan can't be that kind of girl. All her true nature will slowly be released in front of Grandma, so that Grandma won't be too angry. Let her slowly accept it. But you brothers are different. We are all young people and are more likely to accept new things. Don't you think so? And since you are your friend, we will be together for more than a few days in the future, so why bother pretending in front of you?"

"That makes sense. Brother Lu likes your personality." These two people are really good. No wonder the eldest brother is on good terms with them. They all have a great time talking to each other.

"Miss, it's time to go back home, otherwise the old lady will be worried." As they were talking, Mother Yan came over to urge them.

"Okay, Yuanyuan, we'll go back today. I'll take you to other places tomorrow." Since they had finished eating anyway, the eldest brother stood up.

"Okay, brothers, see you later," Cai Yuanyuan stood up and saluted.

"Brother, suddenly, Yuanyuan doesn't want to get entangled with you."

"Why?"

"Yuanyuan regrets this. Yuanyuan wants to use three months to help you build the Lanfeng Restaurant. Not only will it be the best restaurant in the world, it will also be the best restaurant in the capital. Yuanyuan wants a 20% stake."

"Last time you said you wanted 10% of the shares, why are you asking for 20% now? A gentleman's word is as good as gold."

"Brother, Yuanyuan is not a gentleman, but a humble woman. Let's discuss it when we have time. In three months, Lanfeng Restaurant will surely achieve great success."

"Okay, big brother, I'll think about it, and I'll also have to discuss it with the uncles."

"Tsk, Yuanyuan thought Big Brother had the final say, but he still has to discuss this with others."

"Master, you are finally back." A servant was waiting anxiously at the door.

"A Shui, what's wrong? What happened?" asked the eldest brother.

"Master, the old lady is ill. The doctor hasn't returned yet. I'm waiting here."

"Grandma is sick. Brother, Yuanyuan is going back. Mother Yan will lead the way." Upon hearing this, Cai Yuanyuan ran into the yard.

"Stop, you jinx! Grandma got sick when you came here. Go back to where you came from?" Cai Yuanyuan was jogging and almost bumped into someone. When he stopped, he found it was a boy. Cai Yuanyuan didn't remember people and didn't recognize who he was.

"Fourth Young Master, please be careful with your words." Madam Yan stepped forward to protect Cai Yuanyuan. "If Fourth Young Master continues to bully our young lady like this, I will have no choice but to choose the eldest master and the eldest lady."

"What's the matter? The master is teaching me a lesson, and you, an old servant, are still not convinced?" As he was speaking, a woman came over. I remembered that she had seen me before. She should be my aunt.

"Yuanyuan meets my aunt."

"Mother, today when we were outside, this little bitch really humiliated us."

"Aunt, she was just picked up by the old lady outside. Why does she deserve the favor of the old lady and my cousin?"

"Yes, mother, my brother must have taken the wrong medicine. He is so servile to a bastard of unknown origin."

"You little vixen, you tried every possible way to get close to my son. It's because of you, at such a young age, you know how to seduce men."

"Aunt, since you are the elder, Yuanyuan will let you go this time. You also have a son and a daughter. Why are you so cruel to other people's daughters?"

"Aunt, this little bitch called you a vicious woman."

"What do you want to do? Get out of the way! I have to go see my grandmother."

"She's not your grandmother. Besides, you're the one who made her sick. What's your intention? You still want to go see your grandmother. Mother, kick her out."

"Mother Yan, let's go and see grandma first."

"Mrs. Gu, give her two slaps first. How dare she disobey the master's teachings?"

"Madam, you just want to beat Yuanyuan, right? Hurry up and beat her. After beating Yuanyuan, we have to go to Jishan Hall."

The maids and servants following behind the aunt really came up and grabbed Cai Yuanyuan. Aunt Yan, Ru Yan, and Zhilin tried their best to stop them, but they were outnumbered and the four of them were caught. Cai Yuanyuan was slapped twice by Mother Gu.

"You old hag," the eldest brother ran out from somewhere and kicked Mrs. Gu hard twice, making her roll on the ground several times.

"Brother, Yuanyuan wants to go see grandma first." The person who was holding Cai Yuanyuan let go of Cai Yuanyuan, and Cai Yuanyuan fell to the ground.

"Okay, big brother will take you to see grandma." The big brother picked up Cai Yuanyuan from the ground and carried her horizontally to the Jishan Hall. "Big brother, why are you bullying Yuanyuan? How does Yuanyuan's return bother them?" Cai Yuanyuan couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

"Miss, no matter how hard it is, you can't cry. The old lady is sick. If she saw you, she would be very sad."

"I know, I know, Zhilin, hurry up and prepare some clean clothes for me. Big brother, put me down and tidy up my hair. Don't let Grandma see any clues. It will make her even more sad."

"Yuanyuan, I'm sorry for wronging you. I will give you an explanation." The eldest brother put Cai Yuanyuan down.

"Miss, why are you so embarrassed?" Mother Yang came out and saw this scene.

"It's okay, it's okay. What happened to Grandma Yang? When did she start to get sick? Hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?" Cai Yuanyuan changed into the clothes that Zhilin brought at the door of the main house.

"After the young lady left, the old lady went to bed and has been sleeping ever since. Just now, I went to check on her and found that she looked unwell and her forehead was a little hot. I was worried, so I had to send someone to report to the eldest lady. The eldest lady came to see her, handed over her name card, and went to call the imperial physician.

"Never mind all that. Go get two basins of warm water, two clean handkerchiefs, and a bottle of wine."

"Yes, Miss, I will do it."

Entering her grandmother's room, she found two little girls guarding her bedside, looking on helplessly. "Go out! Don't let anyone in and make a fuss. Grandma, what's wrong with you? Yuanyuan's back. Grandma, open your eyes and look. I'm back. Tell Yuanyuan where you're feeling unwell. Grandma, wake up! Don't scare Yuanyuan! Yuanyuan's back." Warm water flowed in, and Cai Yuanyuan hurriedly wiped her grandmother's face with it. "Grandma, don't be afraid. Yuanyuan's back. Yuanyuan will save you. I won't let anything happen to you." The commotion outside sounded quite lively. "Zhirong, go see what's going on and ask if the doctor is here." Seeing the flush on her grandmother's face fade slightly, Cai Yuanyuan carefully used wine again, wiping the palms of her hands and feet, but he didn't dare use too much. He covered her forehead with a warm handkerchief and talked to her. "Grandma, Yuanyuan went out today. My eldest brother took her to a teahouse and a restaurant. He made a lot of delicious dishes. When Grandma gets better, he'll make them for her." Cai Yuanyuan sat by her grandmother's bed, holding her hand and massaging it. "Grandma, that rattle is so fun! Yuanyuan even bought one to play with."

"Okay, bring it here and play with it. Grandma hasn't played with it in years." Cai Yuanyuan felt her hand move and heard her grandmother's voice again.

"Grandma, you're awake! You scared Yuanyuan to death! How would Yuanyuan live if something happened to her?" This time, Cai Yuanyuan didn't hold herself back and cried unrestrainedly, hugging her grandmother. "Mother Yan, go tell the eldest young master that Grandma is awake. Mother Yang, Grandma has been sweating a lot. Please prepare some dry underwear for Grandma. Yuanyuan can help her change into it. You, go tell the kitchen to make some porridge. Grandma, you need to eat something."

"Okay, whatever Yuanyuan says, grandma will do. Actually, grandma is fine. She just wanted to take a nap, but she didn't expect to have a long dream. Even if she remembered, she couldn't wake up."

"Grandma, you're finally awake. We were scared to death." The eldest brother came in.

"Brother, grandma is awake. Don't worry so much. Go out for a while. Yuanyuan wants to change grandma's clothes."

"No, you'll catch a cold."

"No, this dress is soaked. It will be uncomfortable to wear. Yuanyuan will be more careful." Cai Yuanyuan wiped her grandmother's body with the quilt, and changed her clothes with the help of the two mothers. It happened that the grandmother wanted to go to the toilet, and Mother Yan helped her go. Cai Yuanyuan asked Mother Yang to change the bed sheet quickly.

"My Yuanyuan is so considerate. It's so comfortable lying here."

"Grandma, it's all Yuanyuan's fault. She's the one who made you sick."

"What are you talking about? Grandma is old and it's time for her to die."

"Grandma, don't say anything that would scare Yuanyuan."

"Mother, mother." It seems that the uncles have returned from hearing these calls.

After all the greetings, he stood behind his grandmother.

"Why are you panicking? I'm fine."

"Mother, I scared you to death. The people who came said that you are not well and have passed out." The eldest uncle looked at my grandmother and when he saw that she was fine, he stepped aside.

"Sister-in-law, we are here again." It turned out to be the two people from yesterday.

"I've met Grandfather Liu and Grandfather Ning. It's all Yuanyuan's fault. Grandmother fell ill because she was taking care of Yuanyuan yesterday."

"No, kid, why does this guy always blame you for everything? It must be because we were so tired from traveling so much these past two days that we didn't get enough rest. We also didn't get enough rest after we came back. You're a sensible and good child. If it weren't for you, grandma might not have woken up."

"Yes, Master, the young lady just applied a lotion and rubbed it on, but the old lady really doesn't wake up that quickly."
