Chapter 290 Birthday

“The pulse is thin, the energy and blood are deficient, and I have been weak from eating less for a long time. Today, I seem to suddenly overeat and overeat, and I am angry and angry, so I am acting like this in a hurry..." The old doctor said slowly, twirling his beard.

In fact, he was very puzzled. She was obviously a young lady from the Duke's palace, rich in money and body, so she just ate less when going out to banquets. How could she not have enough to eat at home behind closed doors?

Qin Jing couldn't help but look shocked after hearing this.

Mrs. Li on the side looked at Qin Jingshu's almost sunken cheeks and pinched the handkerchief tightly.

Mrs. Xian Guogong changed into a new set of clothes and shoes, and arrived belatedly.

The old doctor is already talking about the method of recuperation: "The eldest lady is still young, so she is not allowed to take any extra decoctions. It is just that she mainly takes food supplements on weekdays, and she should not worry too much..."

Mrs. Xian Guogong happened to hear the words and gave the old lady beside her a look. The old lady immediately pulled the old doctor aside and gave careful instructions.

The old doctor took the thick silver envelope and naturally promised repeatedly that he would not let any news of today's incident leak out.

He didn't think much about it, he just knew that unless the young lady had been ill for a long time, none of the ladies would want to spread the word, for fear of being known as a frail and sickly person, which would affect future marriages.

Mrs. Xian Guo waved her hand, and all the servants in the room left, leaving only her, Mrs. Li and their two children.

"You heard it too. The doctor said that there is nothing serious about your sister. You have always been calm and courteous. Why are you so arrogant today? You broke into the main courtyard without permission and rushed along the road with your sister in your arms. You attracted so many people's attention. This is also thanks to the fact that you are in your own house. It won't spread," Mrs. Xianguo complained.

After hearing this, Qin Jing did not obey her mother as before for the first time. Instead, she raised her head and asked: "What did my mother say to my sister? What made her angry? She is only six years old. What wrong did she do?" What happened to make my mother like this?"

Of course, Duke Xian would not tell his son and sister-in-law about what was said in the main courtyard. He only looked away and said, "Your sister is too ignorant. She went out once and ate haphazardly when no one was watching. I But after a few scoldings, she couldn't bear it."

When Mrs. Xianguo said this, she couldn't help complaining: "Tell me about her. When she participated in the poetry meeting, she didn't know how to socialize with the ladies from the big family. Instead, she followed a country girl all the time. It's really embarrassing!"

"The country girl my mother calls is Uncle Gu's daughter. Uncle Gu has helped me several times. It would be too much to say that she is a lifesaver. Besides, when you interact with people, you should not judge their status, but their character and knowledge. , I never knew that my mother was so arrogant, and she only knew that she was a follower of influence. "

Qin Jing said this very seriously.

According to his past style, he shouldn't have said such words, but Qin Jingshu's appearance today was so scary that he had no choice but to say such words.

Mrs. Xianguo's face turned red with anger when her own son said this in front of her sister-in-law.

Mrs. Li was not in the mood to have fun. Now she was worried about her daughter. She hurriedly jumped out to smooth things over and said, "Jing'er, your mother is doing it for Jingshu's own good. It will be good for her to make more friends with everyone's daughters. It will also be good for her in the future. She is dedicated to her children." , you really hurt your mother’s heart by saying such things!”

She then turned to Mrs. Xianguo and said: "Sister-in-law, Jingshu is still young, and she can be playful sometimes. Speak to her slowly, break it up, crush it into pieces, and tell her the truth. She will understand sooner or later. Your hard work."

Although Mrs. Xianguo didn't like her sister-in-law, she didn't want to quarrel with her son. She originally wanted to borrow Poxia's donkey.

But who knew that Qin Jing was extremely stubborn: "I will tell my grandmother and ask her to educate my sister, so that she will eat something in the future and no longer need to hide."

When Mrs. Xianguo heard this, she couldn't help but feel furious.

After being stunned for a moment, Mrs. Li immediately became happy. If the concubine of the Duke's Mansion really taught Qin Jingshu, not only would she be able to give Jingshu a higher status, but she would also be able to spend more time with Jingshu.

Different from the tense situation in Duke Xian's mansion, at this time, a large table was filled with people in the elegant room of Xianyue Tower.

Not only the old couple of the Gu family are here, Liu Xiaoru and the Sun family are also here, and even the two sons from Baiyun Town are riding a carriage back to the city. Xie Xingchuan did not expect that so many people would come.

"This is my new nephew, come here, be careful and keep it." This was the first time Shopkeeper Luo met Xie Xingchuan, but he had inquired about it beforehand and was very considerate in the gift he gave.

What he gave was a short blade that could cut iron like clay.

"Nephew, you already have a long spear. This short blade is just a supplement. You can just hold it for fun." Shopkeeper Luo said while rubbing his hands.

Liu Xiaoru couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and said angrily: "That's my nephew, but you are so anxious to pretend to be an elder that you just talk nonsense when you open your mouth!"

Shopkeeper Luo said: "My future nephew is also a nephew."

Liu Xiaoru glared at him again.

Gu Mingda patted Xie Xingchuan and said, "Uncle Luo has good intentions in the future, so just accept it. Your mother and Aunt Liu have a deep relationship, so there is no need to see them outside."

Only then did Xie Xingchuan accept the gift.

Sun Jiaxing on the side said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Luo has a wide range of ways. If he can find such a handy weapon, I am far behind. I am afraid I will become an unpleasant person."

Sun Jiaxing said this because the gift he gave was a military book.

Xie Xingchuan is obviously not a book-lover.

Gu Mingda said, "I think this gift is a good one. This kid wants to be a general, so he should study some art of war."

Everyone gave gifts to Xie Xingchuan, even Gu Zhao and Niu Niu gave them things.

What Gu Zhao sent was a sachet: "Thank you, brother, I bought the sachet, but the medicinal materials inside were prepared by me myself. My master said that these medicinal materials can make people feel refreshed and bright. If they are injured, , and can also respond to emergencies.”

Niu Niu gave her a handkerchief she had embroidered by herself, with the word "thank you" crookedly embroidered in the corner.

"Thank you brother, I just learned to be a female embroiderer. You can make do with it for a while. When I become good at it, I can embroider purses, shoes, socks and make clothes for you!" Niu Niu spoke boldly.

Xie Xingchuan has received a lot of gifts. Gu Yan gave a painting, Shen Changfeng gave a jade pendant, Gu Mingda gave a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, Zhang Yunniang made a coat, and Mrs. Gu rushed to make a pair of shoes. Although Father Gu was confused, he carved a wooden sculpture of a general holding a spear for him.

"Do you know that today is my birthday?" Xie Xingchuan couldn't help but ask.

The tall young man had tears welling up in his eyes, and he looked shy in front of everyone for the first time.

"Speaking of which, I have never had a birthday, and I rarely receive gifts."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

Gu Mingda only knew that Xie Xingchuan's birthday was in spring, but he didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that it would be on this day.
