The guest room is not big. There is a small table at the entrance, a double bed next to it, and a cabinet on the side. It can be said that it is in full view. But it is very clean, and there is a wooden smell in the room. I just walked into the room with the bag Ruiyang gave me, and Tu Shanjing followed me in. Sen Ying was originally going to come in with Xiao Wei, but when she saw this, she said that she had left something and had to go back to the carriage to get it, and turned around and left.

I knew Tu Shanjing must be in trouble, so I stuck my head out and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, I closed the door. Turning around, I saw Tu Shanjing sitting on a stool with his belt untied. I was so scared that I quickly covered half of my eyes: "Sir! What are you doing...?"

Tu Shanjing held his waist and said, "Sorry, I'm so abrupt. It's just that the wound on my waist has been stinging since I came into the mountain. Can you help me see if there is anything wrong?"

I squatted down and pulled out his underwear, lifted the hem and looked. I saw that the wound was a little red and swollen, but there was nothing else wrong. I breathed a sigh of relief and looked up and said, "Except for the redness and swelling around the wound, there is nothing else wrong. But did you sweat during the day? I asked Ali to bring me a pot of hot water. I will wipe it off for you and apply medicine later."

Tu Shanjing nodded, covered the collar of his inner garment, and said, "Thank you for your help. This trip is of great importance and cannot afford any mistakes. Sometimes I may not be able to follow the etiquette, so I hope you can forgive me."

I waved my hands quickly, "Hey! How can that be?! I was just a little surprised, that's all, don't worry about it. It's my duty to serve you! If you say go east, I will never go west!"

Tu Shanjing smiled comfortingly and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a knock on the door. "The water is coming!" I said to myself as I walked quickly over and opened the door.

Ali, who was standing at the door with a smile on his face, said to me, "Mrs. Bai, water..." He subconsciously glanced behind me, his smile froze on his face, then he lowered his head, and his face turned red.

I took the teapot with a smile and said, "Thank you, thank you!" Then I turned around and closed the door, leaving him alone outside blushing.

I heard his footsteps running away and put the teapot on the table.

Seeing this, Tu Shanjing obediently opened his inner garment and half turned sideways to show me his wound. I took out a clean towel from my bag, wet it and wiped his wound carefully, and then did the same as yesterday, applying medicine and tearing a strip of cloth to tie up his waist bag.

After bandaging it, I slapped my head and said, "Oh no! I forgot to buy some gauze in town today!"

Tu Shanjing slowly tied the belt of his clothes and said, "It doesn't matter, just tear my clothes first."

I stood up and said with a smile, "Sir, how many undergarments did you bring with you for me to tear apart? I was just afraid that it would get colder and colder and you would have nothing to wear!"

Tu Shanjing fastened his clothes, stood up, looked at the red leaves outside the window, and said with a slight smile, "Tear them all up before buying more. Young Master, I still have this little money."

I laughed and said, "Haha! That's right! I've been pretending to be poor these days and forgot that you have a big family and a lot of wealth. I don't need to worry about your money! I should worry about what to eat in the evening!"

As they were talking, there were two knocks on the door. Sen Ying said softly outside the door, "Sir, Madam, the old lady of the manor said that we came from a long way and are tired on the road. We will have dinner soon, so we should eat early and rest early."

Tu Shanjing said "hmm" and replied, "We'll go now." He stood up, took out a small brocade box from his green flowered bag and stuffed it into his sleeve, then turned around and looked at me, "Shall we go?"

I was very hungry, so I quickly said, "Come on, let's go and see what kind of wild food this farmhouse has!"

Tu Shanjing couldn't help laughing, opened the door, and followed Senying to the cafeteria with me.

Before I even got to the dining hall, I could smell a burst of aroma. I winked at Tu Shanjing and said, "Sir, today's meal is sure to be delicious!"

Tu Shanjing sniffed and smiled, "Yes, it smells like chicken stewed with mushrooms."

I knew that he loved to eat chicken, but I didn't expose his fox nature. I smiled and said, "Yes, it smells really good! I'm going to eat two bowls of rice later to comfort my poor greedy worm!"

"Madam, have a good appetite!" I heard Ali's voice behind me. I turned around and saw him holding a plate of cold dishes, ready to serve them.

He was very generous, so I was naturally generous too. I smiled at him and stepped aside to make way for him. He returned the greeting slightly and walked past quickly with the plate in hand.

When we arrived at the dining hall, it was also in a simple wooden style. In the middle was a heavy dark brown wooden rectangular table, on which several dishes were already placed. The old lady of the manor was sitting at the top seat, holding a girl of about ten years old in her arms. Next to her sat a hunchbacked old man, leaning on a cane, looking a little listless.

Further down the table was a middle-aged man with wrinkles all over his face, who looked honest and loyal. Next to him was a woman dressed as a woman serving him soup, presumably his wife. Across the table, Yu Xin was stroking his beard, chatting with the middle-aged man with a smile. Xiao Wei sat above him, while Rui Yang and Xiao Hui sat below him. There were three empty seats at the first table, presumably for the three of us. There were also two rows of long tables on both sides of the dining hall, with a few people in coarse cloth sitting sparsely, who seemed to be the farm's servants, who were now whispering and serving rice and dishes in an orderly manner.

When the old lady saw us coming, she waved her hand and said, "Come on! Please take a seat! We have few guests in this farm these days, so we don't have many dishes prepared. We can only make whatever is ready. Please don't blame us. This meal is my treat for you, my brother's family and my grandchildren. Today, let's not distinguish between masters and servants, and sit down together to have fun!"

Tu Shanjing sat down at the first seat and answered a little loudly, "Thank you, old lady, for your hospitality. When I was away from home, I was able to stay in such a simple and elegant manor, eat hot meals, have people to talk to, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I was so happy that I couldn't blame anyone."

This time the old lady was close enough to hear clearly, and she smiled with wrinkles all over her face. She said to the old man, "Look, I said that the guest who came today was polite and well-mannered, and it really was true, wasn't it?"

The old man leaned on his cane, his hands trembling, and murmured, "Not bad, good, good..."

"Third uncle, your wine." Ali came up with a small wine pot and poured the old man a glass. The wine was hot and still steaming. The old man drank it all in one gulp and let out a long breath, as if he felt a little relieved.

"My younger brother had a serious illness in his middle age, and he is like this after he recovered. Drinking some wine to warm his body will make him feel better. Please don't be surprised, guests. Ali, don't rush around. Let the cook take care of the rest. You sit, sit! Come, eat, eat! Try the mushrooms produced in our farm, stewed with this year's hen, it's delicious!" The old lady stretched out her wrinkled hand and invited us to start eating.
