Chapter 109 Who wouldn't like a polite, gentle and handsome child?
The Yan couple had a deep affection for each other and did not have a concubine, but they waited for Madam Yan to get married for ten years before giving birth to a daughter. Their daughter, Yan Qin, was born prematurely and had been sick since childhood. She rarely went out to see a doctor or take medicine.
My health has improved in the past two years, and the doctor recommended that I move around more often.
Knowing that walking around was indeed good for her health, the couple would take Yan Qin to the suburbs to relax and go for an outing whenever the weather was good and Yan Qin was willing...
Now Yan Qin can run and jump, and as long as the exercise is not too strenuous, her body will be fine.
Madam Yan turned around and ordered, "Lay out the mats, prepare some water, snacks, and fruits, so that the young lady can rest when she is tired from playing."
A mat more than an inch thick was laid on the soft grass, and plates were placed on it in an orderly manner. Some plates contained snacks, some contained washed fruits, and some contained jerky.
There is a small stove next to it, cooking rice porridge...
With such meticulous and thoughtful care, it is obvious that this little girl named Yan Qin really grew up in love.
The millet porridge was bubbling and the aroma was everywhere.
A gentle smile spread across the woman's face: "Cui Liu, go and ask the young lady to come back and rest for a while!"
The maid agreed and was about to call for help, but someone came running quickly from a distance.
It was the maid named Xiangcao who said, "Madam, something bad has happened. Something bad has happened. The young lady has been kidnapped."
This sentence almost frightened the lady to death. Her face changed drastically: "What? Which thief did it? Jixiang, Baofeng, the four of you go quickly and rescue the young lady."
She herself stumbled after him.
The maids and servants also hurriedly chased after him.
There were snacks, fruits, meat jerky neatly arranged here, as well as millet porridge being cooked, but no one had the heart to take a second look at them.
As Vanilla ran and narrated, they understood the whole story.
The butterfly kite flew very high, and Yan Qin was very happy. She ran after the kite, laughing happily from time to time.
Although they were getting farther and farther away from the lady, there were many people here, so the two maids didn't think much about it.
When they were having fun, the kite string suddenly broke. Yan Qin's smile froze and she subconsciously took a few steps forward.
Cuilan still held her back and asked her to rest there while she went to chase the kite.
Vanilla accompanied her and sat on the grass waiting.
Three or four men rushed out from nowhere, grabbed Yan Qin and ran away.
Vanilla was stunned by the sudden change. When she saw the young lady being taken away, she quickly chased after her.
Cuilan, who was far away, noticed something was wrong and started to chase after them.
But they could not outrun the three men at all, so one of them had to chase them while the other came back to report.
Madam Yan was terrified. Qin'er's health was not good to begin with, how could she withstand such a change?
What are those bad guys going to do? Can Qin'er still bear it?
If anything happened to Qin'er, how would she go on living?
Perhaps it was the strong maternal love that allowed her to run not much slower than the four guards.
They saw Cuilan being pushed to the ground and the three men hurriedly pulling Yan Qin away.
Madam Yan shouted at the top of her lungs: "Put down my Qin'er, I'll give you as much silver as you want!"
The three men didn't stop at all.
At this moment, a small figure suddenly rushed out from the side. He unexpectedly rushed towards the person who was pulling Yan Qin, pushed him away, and rolled on the grass while holding Yan Qin.
The three men were obviously furious and wanted to turn back to catch more people, but when they saw the four guards who had already rushed over and Madam Yan who seemed almost crazy, they paused for a moment and then fled in panic.
Mrs. Yan stumbled over and hugged Yan Qin in her arms.
Yan Qin's face was pale at this time. Her already poor health seemed to have become even worse due to the intense running and excessive fright.
She called out softly, "Mom!" and then gently comforted her, "I'm fine!"
Seeing her face as pale as paper, Mrs. Yan felt heartbroken.
The four guards chased for a while but failed to catch anyone. The safety of the lady and the young lady was more important, so they had to return empty-handed.
Madam Yan’s gaze fell on the person who rescued Yan Qin.
It turned out that this was also a child, about ten years old, wearing a long robe, like a scholar.
The robe was a little worn, but the child had a handsome face and gentle manners.
Madam Yan said, "Thank you very much, young master, for saving my daughter! May I ask your name?"
The child bowed and said, "Madam, I am Cao Shuqing, a student of Ziguang Academy. I will be taking the academy exam soon, so I came here to relax. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Fortunately, the bad guys have run away, so Madam and little sister don't have to be frightened!"
Madam Yan was surprised: "You are so young, and you are going to take the college entrance examination?"
Cao Shuqing knew when to advance and when to retreat, and responded appropriately: "I have been in the prodigy class of the academy for more than a year. The teacher asked me to give it a try. I have passed the county and prefectural exams, so the teacher suggested that I should make a final effort for this academy exam."
He was actually a student in the prodigy class of Ziguang Academy. No wonder he was able to take the scholar examination at such a young age.
Mrs. Yan was even more pleased with this polite, gentle and handsome child.
Moreover, if he hadn't rushed out and knocked down the person who was pulling Qin'er, and protected Qin'er from falling, avoiding their capture range, Qin'er would not have been able to escape from those people's grasp.
Yan Qin said softly: "Thank you, little brother!"
Cao Shuqing smiled slightly: "You are too polite, little sister. No matter who encounters this kind of thing, I will not stand idly by. I just did what a scholar would do!"
Madam Yan was grateful and invited him warmly: "We are having a picnic over there, why don't you join us, young master?"
Cao Shuqing bowed and said politely: "Thank you, Madam. You can just call me Shuqing. But there is no need to have a picnic. It seems inconvenient!"
Madam Yan smiled: "Little...Shuqing, you saved my daughter, so you are our guest of honor. Since you are here to relax as well, let's come together!" He is still a child, what's inconvenient?
"That boy is better off being respectful than obeying orders!"
Although Yan Qin looked pale, she seemed to be in a good mood. She smiled at Cao Shuqing and said, "Little brother, you want to take the exam to become a scholar at such a young age. You are so amazing!"
Cao Shuqing also smiled and said, "Little sister, you don't know that my family is poor and I only have a widowed mother at home. Only by studying hard and passing the imperial examinations early can I let my widowed mother live a good life."
"Really? Little brother is so young and he has to support the family?"
"Now I am not able to support my family, so I can only study hard and strive to get a place in the academy as an outstanding student to get some subsidies, so that my mother will work less and not worry about my tuition. This is the only thing I can do." Cao Shuqing looked a little ashamed.
"But little brother is still very impressive." Yan Qin was very close to this lifesaver. She pulled his sleeve with light in her eyes, "Little brother, it's not easy. You will definitely have a great future!"
When Mrs. Yan heard this, she couldn't help but look at Cao Shuqing.
