Chapter 395 Big Brother Returns to Beijing!
The next day, when Shen Ningning went to the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine to attend classes, she learned from Master Han that Xu Jingxi was injured and would not be able to attend classes in the near future.
After school in the evening, Shen Ningning took the lead, together with Ye Changyi and Lu Shaoyuan, to visit the village where Xu Jingxi lived.
It is still such a barren but clean and tidy Chaimen courtyard.
After Shen Ningning knocked on the door, the person who opened the door was the staggering Grandpa Xu.
"Hello, Grandpa Xu," the little guy said with bright eyes and rosy cheeks, "I heard that classmate Xu is sick, so we came here to visit him."
Grandpa Xu smiled kindly and quickly invited them into the yard.
He also shouted into the room: "Jingxi, your classmates and little kids are here to see you."
Lu Shaoyuan handed the gift he brought to Grandpa Xu.
Among them were the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum given by Shen Ningning, and the four treasures of the study given by Ye Changyi, while Lu Shaoyuan brought a heavy bag of silver.
Grandpa Xu was flattered: "These items are too valuable for us to accept. It would be great if you could come see him. Jingxi usually doesn't have many friends. Thank you for caring about him."
Lu Shaoyuan laughed and said, "Grandpa Xu, just take it. Usually in the Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies, I have to rely on Xu Jingxi to answer my questions. What's the point of giving me this little thing."
With that said, the three of them entered Xu Jingxi's house.
Because their family was poor, Grandpa Xu and Xu Jingxi slept in the same room, with only a curtain hung in the middle to separate the two spaces.
When Shen Ningning and the others entered, Xu Jingxi was leaning on the simple bed, with his right arm fixed to his chest by a wooden board.
"Why are you here?" He was a little surprised, his thin eyes were light and dark, and his handsome face was fair.
"I heard from Master Han that you are sick, so you can't come to study. Hey, did you break your arm?" Shen Ningning put the water bag she brought on the table.
Xu Jingxi lowered her eyelids: "It's okay, I hit it accidentally."
"No, I heard Master Han say that you went to the city yesterday to paint a house. Did you get injured?" Lu Shaoyuan was curious.
Xu Jingxi pursed her thin lips and glanced at Shen Ningning subconsciously.
He explained calmly: "Well, I fell off the ladder."
Ye Changyi covered her mouth and exclaimed: "It's really dangerous. What do your employers say? You fell and got injured at their house. Did they find a doctor for you?"
Xu Jingxi couldn't answer.
After he fell down yesterday, Xie Yuanjiu said that his paint spilled and stained the stone steps of her house.
In the end, he didn't get any money and was kicked out by Xie Yuanjiu's servants.
Xu Jingxi didn't want to say it because he didn't want to cause trouble to Shen Ningning.
At this time, Grandpa Xu came in with several bowls of water and helped Xu Jingxi answer: "Looking for the doctor? Not only did they not find him, they also kicked us Jingxi out."
"Hey!" Grandpa Xu sighed heavily: "I heard that the employer was still a little girl and was so cruel. We in Jingxi broke our arm after falling on her house. Not only did she not give us any money, she also..."
"Grandpa!" Xu Jingxi interrupted coldly.
Grandpa Xu waved his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, you can chat and I won't disturb you anymore."
Shen Ningning glanced at Grandpa Xu with watery eyes.
She turned to look at Xu Jingxi, her eyes as clear as snow, piercing through everything.
"Did you take over the job from Xie Yuanjiu's family?"
The little guy remembered that Xie Yuanjiu had been kicked out of Xie's Mansion by his second uncle and moved to another courtyard.
The person who could make Xu Jingxi injured and still not want to mention it was probably her!
Xu Jingxi pursed her thin lips, and nodded after Shen Ningning asked.
Ye Changyi was shocked and angry: "How bad is Xie Yuanjiu's intention? Did she push you off the ladder on purpose?"
"Does that need to be said?" Lu Shaoyuan was also angry: "She knows that Xu Jingxi and Shen Ningning are friends, and she doesn't dare to touch her, so she bullies Xu Jingxi and picks the weaklings!"
Shen Ningning pursed her lips and quietly tucked Xu Jingxi into bed.
Those watery black eyes stared at his arms.
Ye Changyi sighed: "What a pity! Master Han is going to recommend students to the palace today to copy scriptures for the emperor and receive blessings. This is the only opportunity a year."
"Because you injured your hand, Master Han assigned someone else to do it."
Xu Jingxi looked calm, as if nothing could make him care.
"It doesn't matter, it won't have any impact if I don't go."
As he said that, he looked at Shen Ningning, and a hint of worry finally flashed through his calm eyes.
"You don't need to trouble Xie Yuanjiu for me. She has a narrow mind, so stay away from her."
The little guy raised his head, his face was round and cute.
She puffed up her cheeks and said a little unconvinced: "She is narrow-minded, and I still hold a grudge. Hmm, wait and see, she'd better not blame me for begging!"
After a few days, Lu Shaoyuan and Ye Changyi felt that Shen Ningning must have opened her mouth.
Because Xie Yuanjiu actually got the plague!
There are not many people infected with plague in the city now, and most of them have been cured by Shen Ningning and the imperial doctors during free clinics.
But when Xie Yuanjiu went to get medicine from a free clinic in the city, Shen Ningning asked Wuchun and Wanchun to kick her out!
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this? The emperor said that anyone who is sick in the city can come here to seek medicine, but the princess drove me out. Do you want to die without saving me?"
Xie Yuanjiu stood outside the free clinic, bathing in the harsh sunlight, with dizzy cold sweat rolling down her temples.
Her symptoms had just started and she was already so uncomfortable, so she hurriedly asked for medicine, but she didn't expect that Shen Ningning wouldn't give her the medicine at all!
Late Spring and Late Spring were on the steps, like two door gods, with cold faces.
"The princess said that if you want medicine, you can ask for it. When Xu Xuezi's hand is healed, you will get medicine."
Xie Yuanjiu gritted her teeth.
She just pushed Xu Jingxi, and he didn't die!
But Shen Ningning didn't give her medicine, just watching her die!
Xie Yuanjiu would never sit and wait for death. She took a carriage and went straight to Xie's house. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the housekeeper before she entered the house.
Uncle Pang looked embarrassed, but his attitude was a little tough: "Fourth Miss, please don't embarrass me. The second master said that he can't control all your fate, let alone allow you to return to the house."
Xie Yuanjiu knelt outside the door with tears in her eyes.
"If my father doesn't see me, I will kneel here all the time, so that everyone in the world knows how cruel my father is!"
However, she fainted not long after kneeling.
The plague was coming fiercely, and Xie Yuanjiu had already had a high fever all over her body.
Shen Ningning happened to return to the house and saw this scene.
A trace of indifference flashed across the little fellow's fair and tender face.
"She's already sick, why let her lie here? Wrap her up and throw her back."
Shen Ningning gave an order, and her guards immediately followed it.
Fearing infection, everyone wrapped Xie Yuanjiu in three layers of cotton cloth.
Afterwards, she was sent back to the other courtyard at a rapid speed.
The maids and servants in the other courtyard were frightened and cursed in a low voice, blaming Xie Yuanjiu for offending anyone else, why did she offend Princess Funing?
What if they were also infected, and the princess didn't give them the medicine fruit!
After learning about Shen Ningning's actions, Xie Suzhi and Second Master Xie remained silent.
Especially Second Master Xie, who originally wanted to say something for Xie Yuanjiu, but Shen Ningning asked him to check how Xie Yuanjiu targeted his classmate Xu Jingxi.
Second Master Xie could only sigh.
His daughter was completely spoiled.
Two days later, good news came.
Xie Mingxu has returned to the capital and has arrived in the suburbs of Beijing!
General Fang Qingdai and her daughter also returned to Beijing!
