Chapter 429: Infected with a Cold
Chapter 429: Infected with a Cold
"Young Master! Put on your cloak quickly!" Qing Lang knew that Jiang Youzhen was wearing thin clothes, and the weather suddenly changed and it was raining, so he brought a cloak.
He held an umbrella for Jiang Youzhen and put a cloak on Jiang Youzhen, who immediately felt much warmer.
Wen Ruyu also climbed onto Jiang Youzhen's carriage. He and Jiang Youzhen lived in the same inn.
"Master! Master Wen, drink the ginger soup quickly. You are not allowed to bring umbrellas to the examination room. You two are both wet."
A bowl of steaming ginger soup was placed in Jiang Youzhen's hands. She took several sips before she felt her whole body warmed up a lot.
"You are really considerate!" Although his body was still wet, Jiang Youzhen felt much more comfortable at this moment.
Qing Lang smiled slightly, "I have asked the shopkeeper to prepare some hot water. You may not know that hot water in the inn is more expensive today. Previously, you could just give two coins for a basin of hot water, but today, you have to pay an extra five coins for hot water."
"The shopkeeper is really good at business. I've been in the Imperial Examination Hall for nine consecutive days and I feel like I'm going to go bad. When I get back to the inn, I must take a good shower, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
Wen Ruyu glanced at Jiang Youzhen and found that her face was paler than before, and even the color of her lips was lighter.
It can be seen that not only did he feel tortured during these nine days, but even Jiang Youzhen couldn't bear it and looked a little weaker than usual.
It’s just that all those candidates have become old hands, while Jiang Youzhen looks weak, but not in a mess. He just looks a little more weak and bookish than before.
Jiang Youzhen is very handsome, and no matter where he goes, many women's eyes follow him.
Noticing Wen Ruyu's gaze, Jiang Youzhen turned around and glanced at him.
"Brother, would you like another bowl of ginger soup?"
Wen Ruyu quickly turned her head and suddenly felt her heart beating faster, "No! No need!"
Jiang Youzhen didn't care and thought Wen Ruyu was jealous of her for having someone to serve her.
"Brother, it's time to find an attendant. You'll need someone to do things for you in the future. It's a waste of time to do everything yourself."
"Hehe! That's exactly what I was thinking. Let's look for it in a few days!" Although Wen Ruyu was used to being frugal, there were some things that were indeed a waste of time to do by oneself.
The carriage quickly arrived at the entrance of the inn. After Jiang Youzhen got off the carriage, Qing Lang immediately ordered the waiter to bring hot water to Jiang Youzhen's room on the second floor.
Tong Huaian didn't have the mood to exchange pleasantries at the moment. He just told Jiang Youzhen to rest more and then returned to his room.
The next day, the sky was still cloudy and rainy. The autumn wind was bleak. It was already early autumn, and many students had added clothes.
Jiang Youzhen slept until noon the next day. When she woke up, she still looked a little dazed.
Her head felt a little swollen. Could she have really caught a cold?
"Are you awake?" Suddenly a low voice sounded in her ears, and Jiang Youzhen was startled.
"Brother Huai'an? Why are you here?" Jiang Youzhen felt a little dizzy. What was Tong Huai'an doing in his room at this time?
Tong Huaian stood beside Jiang Youzhen's bed, looking down at her, his pupils deep and a hint of subtle inquiry and doubt flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Youzhen sat up and suddenly felt a little weak all over.
"Don't move. You have caught a cold. I came to you for dinner this morning, but you didn't wake up no matter how I called you. Later, Qing Lang came in to call you, but he couldn't wake you up either. I came in and touched your forehead and found it was very hot. You have a fever."
Jiang Youzhen was supported by Tong Huaian and leaned against the pillow. She quickly shrank back, feeling that their behavior was too intimate.
Tong Huaian then let go of his hand and turned to the table. Then Jiang Youzhen smelled a strong smell of medicinal soup.
Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised. No wonder she felt dizzy. She had overestimated her health and thought she had recovered in the past two years.
That's right! Since she came here, apart from eating better and not doing hard labor, she really hasn't taken any nourishing measures.
It seems I have to find an opportunity to buy some women's nourishing products to take care of myself.
"I just got a little wet yesterday. I didn't expect that I was so fragile. I thought I was a calf!" Jiang Youzhen said self-deprecatingly.
"That's because you don't know your own body. You look so weak." Tong Huaian came over with a medicine bowl, "Drink the medicine!"
Jiang Youzhen was startled. She quickly asked curiously, "Where did the medicine come from? Has the doctor been here?"
Tong Huaian smiled, "It's obvious that it's a cold. Why does he need a doctor? The shopkeeper always has this medicine. It's a small expense. He knows how to do business. This medicine is always on hand during the exam period."
"Qingyan went to ask the doctor, and after he found out about the symptoms, he said he had medicine, so he boiled it and took it."
Tong Huaian blew on the medicine bowl and handed it to Jiang Youzhen. Jiang Youzhen always felt that something was wrong. Tong Huaian was usually very meticulous, but not that thoughtful, right?
"With Brother Huai'an's personality, isn't he afraid that someone has ulterior motives? It's not like your style to just take other people's medicine." Jiang Youzhen was a little suspicious and suddenly thought of a possibility.
She raised her eyes to look at Tong Huaian, only to see Tong Huaian sneer.
"What can I say about you? Once you become famous, you are so afraid of death? Don't worry! There are several candidates taking the medicine together, and their symptoms are similar to yours. Besides, I have also taken a few sips, and there is absolutely no way it is poisonous."
Tong Huaian dusted off the corner of his robe and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Jiang Youzhen smiled awkwardly, then looked down at the bowl. Could it be that he drank a few sips from this bowl?
"Don't underestimate this medicine. It costs ten cents more than usual!" Tong Huaian took the empty bowl from Jiang Youzhen's hand naturally.
"I asked the shopkeeper to prepare some food for you. You didn't eat yesterday, so you must be hungry. It's a good time to eat something to recover."
So considerate? Jiang Youzhen looked around the room and frowned, "Where are Qinglang and Qingyan? Why are they nowhere to be seen?"
"They went to get food. They will be here soon."
Do we need these two people to get food? The waiter won't bring it?
Tong Huaian saw Jiang Youzhen's confusion and said, "Since the temperature dropped yesterday, many candidates have caught the same cold as you, and the waiters are too busy to handle it."
As soon as Tong Huaian finished speaking, the sound of a door opening was heard.
"Master, you are finally awake. I called you just now, but you didn't respond and even talked nonsense. I was really scared."
Qing Lang put the food box in his hand on the table as he spoke, while Qing Yan held two buckets of hot water in his hands.
"So the medicine has been taken? Thank you, Mr. Tong, for taking care of my young master." Qingyan saw the medicine on the table and hurriedly thanked him.
"Master, I noticed that you were sweating a lot this morning. I prepared some hot water. Do you want to wash up?"
After Qing Lang said this, Jiang Youzhen realized that he was sticky.
"After you wash up and have a good rest after dinner. The results will be announced in ten days. We can discuss when to go back later."
Tong Huaian said this and left the room without waiting for Jiang Youzhen to reply.
