  ♂?,,

  Second watch various requests, understand:)

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  After dinner, Li Mingyu went to wash up. Having walked around all day, he had sweated a lot and felt sticky and uncomfortable. Ye Ziyou followed him.

  When she came out, Lin Lan was no longer in the room, and Yu Rong was still grinding medicine.

  "Where's the young lady?"

  She hastily got up and replied: "He has gone to the Qiao family's boat."

  Li Mingyun nodded, it's time to go, the boat will set off tomorrow.

  Li Mingyun sat down on the couch, ready, but found a fan placed on the book, with a green Hangzhou silk cover, exquisite embroidery, and embroidered with several bamboo branches.

  "Master, this is what the young mistress bought for you on purpose when she went out today." Yu Rong smiled and emphasized the two words "on purpose", paused and said: "The young mistress also wrote some words on it."

  Li Mingyun's eyebrows moved slightly, what would she write? She picked up her fan, removed the cover, and unfolded it.

  Where there are words, it is clearly a painting.

  A few bamboo stalks, simple composition and layout, but cleverly arranged, can be considered elegant! However, the brushstrokes are still a bit immature. Li Mingyun smiled slightly and asked: "Is this... really painted by the young mistress?"

  Yu Rong leaned over to take a look: "How is it a painting? Young Madam clearly said she was going to write some words."

  Li Mingyu waved his hand: "Get out!"

  Yu Rong nodded and took out a copper medicine pot to work, so as not to disturb the young master.

  Li Mingyun gazed at the fan for a long time... and didn't know she could still paint, although it wasn't very good, but from it, one can see that she has some talent for painting. On the right side of the fan, there was a blank space left, Li Mingyun thought for a moment, picked up her brush and wrote two lines of poetry... Before emerging from the earth, first have self-control, when soaring through the clouds, still be humble.

  Then, with a satisfied wave of her fan, although the weather tonight was not hot, the night wind on the river came in through the window, and there was even a slight coolness.

  This painting, which was evaluated by Li Mingyun as barely passable, was actually the result of Lin Lan's careful consideration. She couldn't paint it too ugly or embarrassing, nor could she paint it too well or showy. For someone who had passed the national Chinese painting level 10 after only three years of study, pretending to be a beginner was indeed not easy.

  Lin Lan boarded the Qiao family's boat and was warmly welcomed by Mrs. Fang.

  "Our young master has taken the medicine prescribed by Mrs. Li and is much better now; at this moment, she is feeding him dinner!"

  Lin Lan smiled: "As long as you're no longer feverish, it's fine."

  Before entering the door, I heard Mrs. Qiao coaxing the child: "Rong'er, eat some more, or it will get cold."

  The child's tender and soft voice coquettishly said: "I don't want to eat."

  "You have to eat even if you don't want to! How can your illness get better if you don't eat?" Mrs. Qiao patiently persuaded.

  "No, no, I just don't want to..."

  His mother smiled helplessly and said, "The young master doesn't like to eat normally, it takes a lot of effort to persuade him to eat just a little bit."

  Lin Lan smiled lightly and said, "Children are all like this."

  "Madam, Mrs. Li has arrived." The housekeeper announced.

  "Please come in quickly." Mrs. Joe said hurriedly.

  Lin Lan gave a courtesy to Mrs. Qiao, then smiled and walked to the bedside, sat down on the bed, pulled over Rong Er's hand, and asked in a soft voice while taking his pulse: "Rong Er, do you like taking medicine?"

  Rong Er pouted: "I don't like it, it's too bitter."

  "Do you know, Rong Er? There are some invisible monsters in this world that like to drill into people's bodies and make them sick." Lin Lan made a frightened expression.

  Rong Er also looked frightened and asked weakly: "Then is my illness because the monster ran into my body?"

  Lin Lan smiled and said, "Yes! However, Rong Er doesn't need to be afraid. Actually, there is a little brave warrior living inside Rong Er's body. This little warrior will help defeat these monsters." Ye Zi said slowly.

  "But I'm still sick?" Rong'er said disbelievingly, pouting her small mouth.

  "That's because he didn't eat his meal, Little Brave was hungry and had no energy, so he couldn't defeat the monster."

  Rong'er thought for a moment with a serious expression, then suddenly exclaimed excitedly: "I know! If I eat more food, Little Brave Warrior will become very strong and can chase away the monsters!"

  Lin Lan gently scratched his little nose and praised: "Rong Er is really clever, to make Xiao Yong Shi stronger, not only should he eat more, but also can't be picky, Xiao Yong Shi likes to eat many things, does Rong Er want Xiao Yong Shi to become powerful quickly?"

  Rong'er chimed in repeatedly: "I want, I want Little Brave to become powerful quickly, drive away the monsters, and Rong'er won't have to take medicine anymore."

  Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Fang exchanged a knowing smile, but it was still Mrs. Li who had a solution.

  Mrs. Qiao handed the rice bowl to Mrs. Fang and asked her to feed Rong'er, while she accompanied Lin Lan to the outer room to talk.

  "Mrs. Li, will Rong'er's illness recur?" Mrs. Qiao was somewhat worried, there was still a long way to go before reaching the capital, if Rong'er fell ill again on the road... If only they had brought a doctor along.

  "Ma'am, please be at ease. I just took Rong's pulse and it's normal and calm, he's fine now. As long as you don't let him fall into the water again, there shouldn't be any problem." Lin Lan said with a half-joking tone.

  Mrs. Qiao smiled awkwardly and said, "It's my fault as a mother."

  Lin Lan handed a bottle of Bao Ning pills to Mrs. Qiao: "These pills are made by myself, used for treating abdominal pain and diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort, indigestion, seasonal flu, headache and fever, all very effective, you take them with you in case of need."

  Mrs. Qiao took it over and said with joy: "Thank you so much, Mrs. Li! I was worried, tomorrow is the day to set sail, now that I have this divine medicine, I can rest assured."

  Lin Lan smiled and said: "This is not some kind of magic medicine, it's just a temporary solution to save the situation, if you're really sick, you still need to go see a doctor."

  "That's that, but I don't know where Mrs. Li lives or where she's going. Please tell me, so that in the future I'll have a chance to visit and thank her."

  "Mrs. Qiao was being polite, I am a doctor, treating illnesses and saving lives is my duty, however, this time we are heading to the capital."

  Mrs. Qiao exclaimed in surprise: "What a coincidence! We are also going to Beijing, so it seems we can travel together."

  Lin Lan also felt surprised: "That's great!"

  Mrs. Qiao's face lit up: "I knew it, we really are fated to be together. With only about a month of travel left, this journey won't be lonely anymore."

  Lin Lan hesitated after hearing this, she had heard Li Mingyun say that it would take another one and a half to two months to reach the capital. She said: "Is Mrs. Qiao in a hurry? My husband also wants to visit several old friends along the way."

  Mrs. Qiao sighed in disappointment: "Is that so... I have urgent business in the capital."

  Lin Lan didn't dare take charge of this matter. Mrs. Qiao also felt embarrassed to tell people not to visit friends, so they both remained silent.

  "It doesn't matter if we can't travel together, after all everyone is going to the capital, and meeting up again in the capital will be just as good." Madam Qiao said, and wrote down an address for Lin Lan.

  Lin Lan looked at the address written on it: "Lotus Flower... Zhou Mansion..."

  "This is the address of my husband's family, if Mrs. Li arrives in Beijing, please have someone send a message and I will definitely come to thank her." Mrs. Qiao explained: "Maybe we'll even trouble Mrs. Li at that time!"

  After bidding farewell to Mrs. Li, Lin Lan returned to her own boat. Li Mingyu was there, and Lin Lan saw that he was fanning himself with the fan she had given him.

  Lin Lan pulled Yu Rong aside and whispered: "Young Master, do you have a joke for me?"

  Yu Rong shook her head and smiled: "The young master likes it very much."

  The house is just this big, even if Lin Lan's voice was light, the other side could still hear it clearly. Li Mingyu's mouth slightly curled up, and then he said nonchalantly: "Back?"

  Lin Lan waved her hand and let Yu Rong retreat, then sat down opposite Li Mingyu and told him about Mrs. Qiao's intention to travel together.

  Li Mingyun's eyes were calm and quiet, and he said slowly: "Didn't you agree?"

  "What's that? Without asking me first, how could I just agree to someone?" Lin Lan said, sneaking a glance at the fan in his hand and seeing two more lines of words on it.

  Li Mingyu nodded in agreement: "Winter child said that they had an urgent matter to rush on the road, so at first they wanted to pry our boat. We are not in a hurry to enter the capital, it's better to separate and walk."

  "I thought so too... This is the address Mrs. Qiao gave me, it's her husband's family home, she told me to send a letter to her after arriving in Beijing." Lin Lan showed him the note.

  Li Mingyun whispered: "In the lotus flower... Zhou Mansion..."

  Her eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

  Lin Lan keenly sensed his change and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Li Ming Yun said: "Whose house is this Zhou Fu?"

  Lin Lan shook her head and thought: I've never been to Beijing, I don't even know which direction the city gates open, how would I know about the Zhou residence?

  "This is the residence of Jing Bo Hou Zhou, before I left the capital, I heard that Jing Bo Hou married a daughter of Qiao family from Dongyang as his second wife, didn't expect it was them..."

  Lin Lan was astonished, this is also too coincidental! To run into a Madame who is the mother-in-law of a Marquis?
