The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 149 - 115: General Huaiyuan Xia Guangcheng (Part 3)
"Sitting in the carriage for too long, holding the child without freeing my hands, my limbs are numb. Resting a bit will help."
"Miss, please sit down and take a rest."
"Nanny, take Panpan inside and hand her to the nursemaid." Seeing a grown man holding a child in front of her, Xiao Chunyu felt a bit out of place and really uncomfortable.
"Thank you, General, please hand the young lady to the old servant."
Nanny Zhou was also quite moved, this general was really a kind person, helping the young lady hold the child.
"Be careful, don’t wake her up, she’s quite well-behaved when awake."
When Xia Guangcheng handed the child to Nanny Zhou, he gave a soft instruction.
"Yes, the old servant understands."
Nanny Zhou... is there someone who cares for the neighbor’s child like you do?
Xiao Chunyu was puzzled by the sudden tenderness of this person: Was this really the war god, General Huaiyuan from the battlefield?
"What, do I have flowers on my face?"
If someone looked at him like this before, Xia Guangcheng would surely respond with a frighteningly cold face; but facing this young lady, he could only make a self-mocking joke.
"No, no." Xiao Chunyu also felt foolish, how could she stare at someone like this: "General, please sit, Molan, serve the tea."
"Yes, Miss."
Molan was also surprised.
Since the Empress granted this manor, apart from Miss Qiu Yan, there had been no other visitors.
To say visitors were scarce was an understatement.
But today, the young lady actually wanted to entertain a guest, and the guest was General Huaiyuan.
Just... inexplicably feeling that the two of them were well-matched, what’s going on?
Getting distracted, Molan mistakenly brewed the floral tea prepared by the second young miss.
"General, please have some tea."
Seeing the tea Molan brought up, Xiao Chunyu smelled it and knew the girl was distracted.
This was a rare treasure, how could it be used to entertain a guest?
But on the other hand, this man did save their lives, treating him with treasured tea was only fitting.
"This tea is really fragrant." Xia Guangcheng thought it was because he was in a good mood that the tea tasted good, and casually asked, "What kind of tea is this?"
"This is floral tea," Xiao Chunyu said, "My second younger sister brought it back from Shu City."
"No wonder, I thought I’d never tasted it before, it’s really delicious." Xia Guangcheng was never one to shortchange himself, if he could ask, he’d not hesitate: "I wonder if Miss Xiao could part with two pounds for me, my mother would surely like this tea."
"There aren’t two pounds left." Xiao Chunyu expressed regret: "I could write to my younger sister, next time, I’ll ask her to bring back more and send some to your family for your old lady."
"No need, no need, however much there is this time is fine, sell it all to me."
How could it be sold, only gifted.
"That won’t do, you’re raising a child alone, my life is somewhat better than yours, how could I take advantage without even paying a little tea money, what would people say?"
Xiao Chunyu... in my manor, in my courtyard, what can be said?
Only to see Xia Guangcheng take out a gold ingot and gently place it on the table.
"General, please take back this valuable item, this tea isn’t worth that much." Xiao Chunyu was also anxious: "If people knew I took a gold ingot from you for less than half a pound of tea, not only my reputation but also that of my daughter Panpan would be ruined."
"Whoever spreads gossip, if I find out, I’ll cut out their tongue." Xia Guangcheng said, "Take it, consider it a deposit and tea money."
Such extravagance, a big spender!
Xiao Chunzhu had no choice but to agree, while asking Molan to pack the remaining tea leaves, and then went to the kitchen.
"Did you make any pastries today?"
"Yes, young lady, they’re all here."
Xiao Chunyu took the food box, selected some pastries, and planned to send them back with General Huaiyuan for Mrs. Xia to try.
As it turned out, Xiao Chunyu didn’t expect it, when General Huaiyuan took the food box back, Mrs. Xia scolded him severely, cried over this and that, and then threw the food box, which was caught by Xia Guangcheng.
"Mother, tell me where I am wrong, I’ll change, don’t be angry." Xia Guangcheng hurriedly coaxed her: "These pastries are really delicious. Please try them."
"I won’t try them, I won’t taste that vixen’s things, how dare she, a discarded woman, come to entice you?"
"Mother." Xia Guangcheng realized something was not right with this: "Mother, today I’m saying this clearly, you want me to marry, I’ll decide who to marry, if you want to make decisions for me, I’ll stay single for life."
"You unfilial son."
