Gu Qingzhang didn't want to be a gentleman, but it was better for him to hide honestly than to be caught by Lin Shijing.

Fortunately, Lin Shijing only came in to check on his sister and did not stay in her room for too long. After Lin Shijing walked away, Gu Qingzhang jumped off the beam.

He and Lin Chonghan looked at each other and laughed at themselves: "I never thought that I, the noble Marquis of Ning'an, would one day be a gentleman in Liang Shang."

Lin Chonghan smiled and replied: "Let's go quickly, be careful when you go back."

Lin Chonghan recovered from the cold very quickly. She was already in good health and didn't like to get sick, so a small cold was nothing to her.

But not long after she fell ill, Lin Wushuang fell ill again.

"The Marquis said before that he would send Mohou as a gift." She lay on the couch sadly, obviously very ill, but she was still thinking about her little Mohou, "how come there is no news yet."

Lin Chonghan coaxed her: "He was busy with something and forgot about it. He will deliver it in two days. You drink the medicine first."

After Lin Wushuang drank the medicine and lay down, Lin Chonghan took the imperial doctor to the corridor and stood there, asking about Lin Wushuang's condition.

The imperial doctor carried the medical box, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal. This girl's Fenghan is very similar to yours."

"There have been quite a few people in the capital getting cold in the past two days." Haruhi thought about something. "Many servants in our mansion have also gotten cold. Could it be...?"

Haruhi didn't dare to say the remaining words.

The imperial doctor shook his head: "This girl is right to worry, but it is easy to catch a cold when the seasons change. These two days have been warm and cold, so it is most likely to catch a cold."

The imperial doctor invited had been treating the Lin family, and Lin Chonghan was quite familiar with him. When he heard what he said, a big stone fell in his heart.

She personally led the imperial doctor out of the courtyard, told Chunri to pay enough for the consultation, and then turned around to take care of Lin Wushuang.

People often become haggard when they are sick. Lin Wushuang's face is much paler than usual, and people also become sentimental.

She asked Lin Chonghan: "Cousin, is my eldest cousin really unwilling to marry me?"

Lin Chonghan covered her with the quilt and sighed: "Mei Niang, we grew up together. It's not like you don't know that my eldest brother has always only regarded you as my sister."

"There are so many cousins ​​in the world," Lin Wushuang couldn't hold back her tears while she was ill. She said aggrievedly, "Can't they all get married together?"

After saying that, she also knew that what she said was nonsense. If Lin Yizhou didn't love her, how could she force him?

She coughed violently, and her hair was scattered messily on the couch.

After coughing, she raised her head and begged Lin Chonghan not to tell Lin Yizhou what he had just said. She didn't want to embarrass him.

Lin Chonghan could only agree. After Lin Wushuang fell asleep again, Chunri came quietly and told her that she had received the flying pigeon letter from Qiu Sanji.

It is now the end of February or the beginning of March, and he has been gone for more than a month.

Lin Chonghan opened the letter and it said that he had gone to Beijing with the general's letter from home, as well as the purchased cloth and other items.

She carefully calculated the days and found out that the other party would arrive in the capital in about ten days, or even a few days if it was faster, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Mei Niang's illness improved quickly. Her fever subsided quickly and her nose was no longer blocked. However, her coughing symptoms never abated.

Lin Chonghan went to the imperial doctor again, and was relieved after knowing that this was a normal phenomenon. She asked the kitchen at home to cook some nourishing and nourishing food every day to make Lin Wushuang feel better.

Soon it was the day when the list would be released, and the Lin family had to send their servants to look at the list early. Not long after, they got the news that Lin Ziqiu was on the list and ranked in the middle.

"It's good to be in the middle, as long as you can win!" Lin Guangqing was overjoyed. He was a martial artist who couldn't study, but Lin Ziqiu was still a member of the Lin family. If he could win the ranking, he would be able to help his hometown more in the future.

Because he was just a nephew, Lin Guangqing didn't want to be extravagant, so he just closed the door and let everyone get together.

"My good nephew," he said at the banquet, his face flushed with alcohol, holding Lin Ziqiu's hand, "we have a scholar in our family!"

Lin Shijing was eating peanuts, and he was very familiar with the scene in front of him. This is how he spent the Chinese New Year this year.

"When you become an official in the court from now on," he told Lin Ziqiu, "stay away from our home. In the future, as a civil servant, you should avoid hanging out with Wu Xun's family like us."

Lin Ziqiu shook his head: "You can't say that. We are from the same clan, how can we be timid about this kind of thing? If I do this, Mei Niang will look down on my brother."

Such sharp and high-spirited words made Lin Shijing very happy, laughing and wanting to stay drunk with him.

Lin Wushuang was wrapped in a cloak on the side. She coughed twice, her face was still a little pale, but she was in good spirits: "My brother has great ambitions. I'll toast him with tea instead of wine."

Lin Ziqiu drank a drink happily. After he put down the glass, he was a little worried: "I have been hearing you coughing for the past two days. It should be said that the cold is good, so why is the cough not good now?"

Lin Chonghan told him the explanation from the imperial doctor, and Lin Ziqiu felt relieved and told his sister not to catch cold during this period.

After having had enough wine and food, everyone dispersed the banquet.

Lin Chonghan went back to the room and lay down. She also drank some wine today and fell asleep unconsciously.

In her hazy state of consciousness, she seemed to be dreaming of blooming wintersweet trees, but the wintersweet trees quickly dissipated and were replaced by the anxious faces of spring.

Haruhi pushed her gently to wake her up. After she woke up, she quickly said: "It's not good, girl! Please go to my cousin's room and have a look. My cousin is vomiting blood!"

Lin Chonghan made a "buzz" sound, and her originally confused head quickly woke up. She quickly got up from the bed and got dressed under the care of Chunri.

She was wearing a big cloak, holding a lantern, and hurried through the wooden corridor to Lin Wushuang's room.

As she walked on the road, she asked Haruhi: "What's going on? Mei Niang was fine when she ate just now, why is she vomiting blood now?"

Haruhi shook her head: "I don't know, I was called by the maid in my cousin's room just now."

Lin Chonghan arrived early. She opened the door and saw Lin Wushuang lying beside the couch, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. There was a large pool of bloody blood on the ground.

The maids were so anxious that they didn't dare to touch her easily. Finally, Lin Chonghan came, and they all felt like they had seen the Bodhisattva of Savior.

"Immediately go to the front yard and inform my father and the others," Lin Chonghan said with a solemn expression, "I can't get the imperial doctor for my palace card. You ask Uncle Qiao to get my father's waist card and invite the imperial doctor to take a look."

"--be quick!"

Once the master speaks vigorously and resolutely, the people serving him will not be slow to do anything about it.

Not long after, Lin Guangqing and the others hurried to the backyard. Human lives were at stake, and there were no rules for the protection of men and women.

As soon as Lin Ziqiu saw the large pool of blood on the ground, and thought about the fact that his sister was now alive and dead, he almost collapsed. He held on to the wall, knowing that he was the eldest brother, and he must not mess up now.

Uncle Qiao was a man who had seen the world, and because the Lin family was quite powerful in the capital, he quickly invited the imperial physician.

This time it was not the same imperial doctor who came last time. He made a careful diagnosis and then shook his head after a moment.
