"I am worried that my mother is still ill. My mother is sick and I am in pain. When I was at the border, I promised my husband that I would take good care of her."

Su Jinhua raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "How can a daughter-in-law let go of her worries and not come to visit her mother?"

The princess smiled and raised her hand, saying, "It's okay. It's just the change of seasons recently. I caught a slight cold. It's nothing serious... cough cough!"

Before she could finish, the princess couldn't help but cough lightly.

Su Jinhua bowed and said softly, "It is said that when the seasons change, the yin and yang are both weak, and it is most likely to become weak and sick."

"My daughter-in-law went to Putuo Temple specially and asked for a consecrated bracelet. I hope this bracelet can help my mother ward off evil spirits and keep her healthy."

Su Jinhua placed the tray in front of the eldest princess, and a bracelet emitting sandalwood and candle fragrance lay quietly there.

Next to the bracelet is the freshly made and still warm pear paste.

"But it was Abbot Xingkong of Putuo Temple who consecrated it himself?" Yucui, who was standing by, felt the extraordinaryness of the bracelet and couldn't help but ask.

"Exactly."

The eldest princess picked up the bracelet and put it on her fair wrist.

"Your Highness, the young lady is so lucky. It is said that the Master Xingkong's consecration ceremony takes a long time to arrange, but the young lady got it right away."

"It can be seen that the Buddha has also seen the young lady's filial piety." Yucui said respectfully, with a hint of joy in her tone for the eldest princess.

The eldest princess's complexion gradually improved, and she nodded with a smile, "With Jinhua's filial piety, I can get better even if the bracelet has not been blessed."

Su Jinhua immediately said respectfully and modestly: "Mother, you are praising me. As long as you are healthy, I am willing to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures every day."

The princess nodded with satisfaction, picked up the pear paste again, smiled and said softly: "Pear paste moisturizes the lungs and relieves coughs. You are so thoughtful."

"This is what a daughter-in-law should do."

The eldest princess smiled even more and took a bite. It had a familiar taste and was made by Su Jinhua herself.

"You've been traveling all the way back, you should have a good rest. I feel much better now, so you don't have to come and pay your respects tomorrow."

"I have been ill for a long time, and I have not had time to deal with some of the affairs in the mansion. Tomorrow I will let Yucui help you and handle the affairs of the mansion together."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows, mother, please take a rest."

After leaving the eldest princess' bedroom, Banxia followed behind her. Looking at Su Jinhua's figure in front of her, she became more and more respectful.

After returning to the yard, Su Jinhua suddenly felt exhausted.

I went to Putuo Temple early in the morning to have the ceremony of consecration, and then came back to make pear paste. Even the strongest person could not bear it.

"Banxia, ​​I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me if you need anything."

"Yes."

After returning to the room and lying on the bed, Su Jinhua fell onto it, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

……

When he woke up again, Su Jinhua felt refreshed and his mind seemed much clearer.

He stood up, opened the door, looked at the bleak scenery in the yard, and thought silently in his heart.

It is now approaching early winter and the New Year will soon be approaching.

Think about it, she was just preparing winter clothes shortly before leaving home, and now they are about to come in handy. Time flies so fast.

"Madam, this is the latest pastry from Qingshizhai. The mansion bought some recently, and Sister Yucui specially left some for our courtyard."

On the table, there is a plate of exquisite and beautiful animal-shaped pastries that are so lifelike that you almost don’t want to eat them.

Su Jinhua directly picked up a little rabbit-shaped one and stuffed it into his mouth in two or three strokes.

"tasty."

Banxia's eyes twitched. The rabbit was so cute, the young lady really could bear to eat it.

Su Jinhua picked up another piece and handed it to Banxia, ​​"Try it too. I think it would be better if it were a little stronger."

Banxia knew that this was an excuse given by the young lady to let her eat, and she was touched.

However, it is really hard to eat these pastries that look like little animals.

Banxia took small bites of the bananas, while Su Jinhua ate them one at a time.

It’s been a long time since I last tasted this delicious food, which is much better than eating dry food every day at the border.

"I recently bought some medical books and I want to study them carefully."

"Yes." Although Banxia was confused, she said immediately.

Being at the border, Su Jinhua deeply understands the severity of the situation.

Although she told Gu Yanan to be careful, if something happened to him again, even if she rushed over, it would be very difficult without solid medical skills.

He has to learn medical skills, get closer to the eldest princess, and protect Gu Yanan.

While thinking, Su Jinhua had already made plans for the future in his mind.

"Madam, soon, when winter comes and snow falls, it will be not far from Laba Festival. Will you go back on that day?"

"Well, go back."

She wanted to go back and see the latest situation of the Su Mansion. Now that Su Yuandong had arrived at the Ministry of Rites, if he was truly honest and upright, there wouldn't be much change in the Su Mansion.

If he really wanted to make some money, you can imagine what the situation would be like when he returned.

Perhaps, Su Yuandong's greed was further aroused and he wanted to ask for more.

Someone was eager to hand her a handle, she couldn't pretend not to see it.

He was asking for trouble, so he couldn't blame her.

"Give me the account books in the mansion later. I need to sort out the accounts."

"Yes."

The day passed quickly, the temperature dropped sharply at night, and Banxia brought the charcoal fire.

The charcoal fire warmed the whole room. Su Jinhua was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, reading a book.

Banxia was doing needlework by the bed, planning to make a hand cover for Su Jinhua.

Reading the contents of the book, Su Jinhua couldn't help but look out the window. The sky as winter approached was not as dark as ink, but gray, as if snowflakes would fall at any time.

Don’t you know how hard it is to endure winter nights at the border? Will Gu Yan’an’s leg disease relapse?

With Liu Dashan here, there should be no problem.

Su Jinhua sighed. She was born to worry. She had to be extremely careful before gaining the full trust of Gu Yanan and the eldest princess.

"Why is the young lady sighing?"

Su Jinhua sighed softly: "Of course I am worried about my husband at the border."

"The young lady is truly devoted to the prince. If this were to spread out, it would surely be a great story."

Banxia held her face with a slight blush, wondering what kind of person she would marry in the future, and whether she would end up like the Young Madam and the Prince.

Although we are destined not to see each other often throughout the year, as long as we love each other deeply and care about each other, it is also a kind of happiness.

"Are you thinking of getting married so soon?"

Banxia blushed and said, "No, no, I am willing to stay single for the rest of my life for you!"

"Nonsense." Su Jinhua smiled and tapped Banxia's head lightly with the book.

The master and servant laughed and joked for a while, and Banxia continued to sew the hand she was holding.

"Madam, we are living in the house over here, with charcoal fire. I wonder how the second young lady is doing? The Shen family is poor, let alone the Hou Mansion, even the Su Mansion can't compare to it."

"Isn't the Second Miss's life too hard?"
