After feeding a bowl of medicine, Rong Shu wiped the corners of Gu Changjin's lips with a handkerchief, and said to Chang Ji and Hengping: "You guys stay here and watch me, I'll go to the East Room."

Chang Ji hurriedly bowed and responded. , the smile on his face was attentive and genuine, and looking at Rong Shu was like looking at the Bodhisattva.

"Young Madam rushed back without stopping. She thought she was tired and it was time to take a rest. Xiao and Hengping are here, so Young Madam can rest peacefully. The master just feeds this medicine every two hours. Look, what is Xiao Is it convenient for me to invite you?"

This means giving the "important responsibility" of feeding medicine to Rong Shu.

Rong Shu glanced at the clock in the corner of his eyes, and saw that the hour had just passed.

If there were no accidents, Gu Changjin would wake up at the beginning of the night, and it would only be another dose of medicine.

Thinking of this, Rong Shu said: "I'll be back in two hours."

This trip to Dongcijian was just to see Zhang's mother.

Zhang's mother kept her for three days and gave her another ten doses of decoction, and the wind-chill symptoms were almost gone.

Seeing the tired look on Rong Shu's face, Zhang's mother felt distressed and said, "Girl, do you want to come over to the couch and lean on it?"

Rong Shu was indeed tired. Hearing this, he took off his butterfly shoes and squeezed in on the couch with Zhang's mother. On the bed, listening to the music humming by Zhang’s mother, she quickly closed her eyes.

Mother Zhang looked at the little lady sleeping soundly, and a bitter smile emerged from the corner of her lips unconsciously.

Rong Shu slept for a full hour. After getting up, he changed into light clothes and put his hair into a simple bun. Then he counted the time and walked slowly to the main room.

There was already a medicine bowl with white mist on the table in the room. Chang Ji was the only one in it. Heng Ping was a little injured, so he probably went to bed to recuperate.

Chang Ji stood by the medicine, and when he saw Rong Shu's figure, he almost blurted out, "Auntie, you are finally here."

He had seen the young lady feeding a bowl of medicine so easily before, so he couldn't help but try to give her a spoonful of soup. As a result, the master's jaw clenched, so he naturally fed the medicine into the pillow.

He had no choice but to put his hope in Rong Shu again.

He hunched over, ran over in small steps, and said attentively: "Young Madam, this medicine has just been cooked for a quarter of an hour, and the temperature is just right now."

Rong Shu nodded, picked up the medicine bowl, came to the bedside, and exclaimed at Chang Ji With complicated eyes, he fed Gu Changjin the second bowl of medicine with ease.

"Chang Ji, you should go and have a rest. If anything happens, I will send someone to call you."

Now that she was carrying the title of "young lady", she could no longer just take medicine and leave like before.

Chang Ji hurriedly responded and walked out of the house with an empty bowl.

As soon as Chang Ji left, she rubbed her shoulders and said to Yingyue and Yingque beside her: "Go to the small kitchen and let the ladies prepare dinner. I'm hungry."

Yingyue looked at the sky. It was midnight now. It's almost time, as usual, the girls have already finished eating and are eating in the yard. After thinking about it, he took the sugar bowl.

"Girl, please eat some pine nut candy first to cushion your belly. I will ask the kitchen to cook something for you right away."

The pine nut candy in the sugar bowl is made in Yangzhou Prefecture, using good maltose syrup and adding nectar to cook it. Then wrap it with fried pine nuts that are fragrant and crispy, and eat it in your mouth. It is sweet, fragrant and crunchy.

When Rong Shu was in Yangzhou, he would eat a small can every now and then. Later, when I returned to Beijing, I learned that the ladies here thought the candy was indecent, so I ate less of it.

She picked up a piece of pine nut candy and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly. Several slight "crack" sounds soon sounded in the quiet room.

Rong Shu was so focused on eating that she didn't notice that the man lying on the couch had already woken up and was looking at her thoughtfully with his eyes open.

The little girl was holding a candy bowl and stuffing candies into her mouth one by one. It always reminded him of the tail sweeper he saw in the dense forest before.

There is a hint of sweetness in the air.

Several images suddenly flashed through Gu Changjin's mind -

a dark inner room, candlelight flickering, curtains hanging lightly, a girl in moon-white pajamas staring at him, drunkenly and angrily saying: "Gu Yunzhi, are you still here?" Throw away the pine nut candies I made for you."

The man on the bedside glanced at her lazily, a smile slowly appeared on his face that had never been able to distinguish between emotions and anger, and he snorted: "Rong Zhaozhao, eat the pine nut candies. It looks like a big tail sweeper."

The sweeper girl's eyes widened when she heard this, as if she couldn't believe that the upright and solemn Mr. Gu would actually say such a thing, while belching wine. She hit him back with all her heart: "Gu Yunzhi, if I am the one who sweeps away the tail, uh, you, you are -"

After all, she is a girl raised in a boudoir. She racked her brains and couldn't think of a curse word. It took a long time to come up with it. Sentence -

"Big tail wolf."

...

Gu Changjin's eyebrows skipped a beat.

The man on the bed was him, but he didn't look like him.

This fragment that inexplicably popped into my mind was as real as if it had happened.

Even the dream he had when he was unconscious just now didn't feel like a dream, but more like a memory.

In the dream, he was assassinated on the way to the Marquis of Chengan's Mansion, and she was sitting next to him. When the carriage was knocked down, she rushed towards him and shouted: "Gu Changjin, be careful-"

The little girl's clear peach blossom eyes were full of panic, and in a hurry, a hairpin fell out of her bun without even realizing it. When he rushed over, the soft hair even brushed the back of his hand.

Gu Changjin could even clearly feel the slight itch.

This scene in the dream was exactly the same as the hallucination he saw in the carriage.

Whether it was a dream or a hallucination, the moment she rushed towards him, his heart was beating so fast that it felt like he was having a heart attack.

Gu Changjin frowned. He didn't like this feeling of being out of control, let alone the feeling in a dream.

He forced himself to wake up, but when he woke up, he saw that face in his eyes, and his heart began to beat violently again.

"Are you awake?"

A pleasant voice suddenly came to his ear. Gu Changjin suddenly came back to his senses and pursed his lips tighter.

He actually... lost his mind.

This is something unique to him.

His face was very ugly. Rong Shu thought he was in pain from a wound and put the pine nut candies back into the sugar bowl, then continued: "Do you want me to call Chang Ji and Hengping in?"

He was more awake than she expected. Early, I thought he was less injured than in his previous life, so he woke up early. But looking at his livid face, it seemed that he was even more seriously injured.

Gu Changjin looked at her quietly, his dark eyes reflecting her bright face.

The little girl is in her best years, with a pretty face and beautiful face, like the peach blossoms on the branches in February, and like the moon surrounded by stars.

After a while, he lowered his eyes and said, "Well, let them in."

Rong Shu hugged the sugar bowl and went out. After calling someone, he cooled down under the sycamore tree.

The golden crow is sinking in the west, a cool breeze is blowing, and a red light in the distant sky makes the clouds on the horizon extremely magnificent.

Yingyue and Yingque came from the small kitchen with their two wives. They saw her sitting leisurely under the tree and asked hurriedly: "Why is the girl out?"

Rong Shu smelled the smell of chestnut stewed chicken from a distance and smiled. He waved: "We are eating here today. The second master has woken up and is discussing things with Chang Ji and the others inside. Let's not disturb them."

There are wicker chairs and tables under the sycamore trees, which are barely enough for dining, but where can I find the Eight Immortals table in the main house to sit comfortably on?

"Young lady, don't wait for my uncle to eat together?" Yingque pursed her lips in the main room, "My servant just asked Chang Ji. The doctor said that my uncle can only eat porridge during this period, and the mother-in-law in the small kitchen specially cooked it for the second uncle. I ordered a porridge with yam and gorgon seeds."

"Do you want the second master to watch me eat the porridge while I eat it?" Rong Shu slowly shook his fan and said, "For the patient, you can't see it. That's the most painful thing."

If Mrs. Shen were here, she would definitely scold her for being unreasonable again.

Gu Changjin didn't care about food and drink, so even if she ate dragon marrow and phoenix liver in front of him, he wouldn't even move his eyebrows.

However, after listening to Rong Shu's words, the two maids nodded matter-of-factly and said, "Young lady is still thoughtful."

Their conversation had already been listened to by the people in the room through a wall. The three of them have been practicing martial arts since they were children, and their hearing is much better than that of ordinary people. Among them, Gu Changjin has the best hearing.

Chang Ji said with an moved face: "Young lady, you really have the heart of a Bodhisattva."

Gu Changjin glanced at him.

There are several long-term followers around him, one is a drinker, one is a glutton, and the other is lethargic. Chang Ji is the glutton, so he felt sad after hearing Rong Shu's words.

Gu Changjin really didn't want to talk to Chang Ji, so he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Bring me the medicine."

When he was usually injured or sick, the first thing he did after waking up was to drink medicine. This time was no exception. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Chang Ji said: "Medicine? Ah, medicine! The young lady has already given the medicine to the master!"

After saying that, he raised two fingers and filled it up in a mean manner. Sentence: "Feed twice."

The atmosphere in the room was stagnant.

Gu Changjin raised his eyelids, looked at Chang Ji, and asked word by word: "When I was in coma, it was the young lady who fed me the soup? And I drank it?"

Chang Ji nodded like he was pounding garlic.

"The young lady's feeding is much better than that of my subordinates and Hengping. The pillow cloth has never been wet. Speaking of which, this is quite unbelievable."

Isn't it unbelievable?

Since the master was seven years old, few people could feed him anything when he was unconscious. Be it water or decoction, we can only wait for him to wake up and drink it.

Chang Ji remembered that when his master was ten years old, he was injured and burned to the point of unconsciousness. In order to give him medicine, he, Hengping and Shiiyun almost broke his jaw. Just like that, I still can't get a drop of medicine in.

Over the years, Chang Ji was not afraid of getting hurt, but he was afraid of giving medicine to his master. Whoever can feed the medicine is his father, no, he is the Bodhisattva.

He scratched his head, tilted his head and asked Hengping: "You said that the two of us still have Shiiyun and can't take medicine, is it because the three of us are big bosses? The young lady has a meticulous temperament and gentle movements, which is why she is so good at giving medicine. All right."

Hengping was very displeased at being labeled a "big boss" for no reason, and looked at Changji as if he were a fool.

When Changji was looked at by Hengping, he remembered that his wife and Miss Wenxi also tried giving medicine...

but of course it didn't work.

When Gu Changjin heard what Chang Ji said, he was silent and said: "If I fall into coma again, don't let her come into the house, and don't let her give me medicine."

Chang Ji refused to respond. It's rare to meet a Bodhisattva who can How can the master keep the Bodhisattva away when he is given medicine when he is unconscious?

He hurriedly winked at Hengping. Unexpectedly, the stupid wood caught his eye, but still responded expressionlessly: "Yes."

What is it! Changji glared at Hengping in anger.

Yingque came to the corridor with yam porridge. Seeing that there was no sound in the inner room, he thought that the few people had finished discussing the matter, so he knocked on the door and said, "Second Master, the young lady asked the slave to bring you porridge."

Chang Ji and Hengping They all looked at Gu Changjin.

Gu Changjin said calmly: "Go and bring the porridge in, and go to the study later."

Chang Ji hesitated and said: "Master, your injury has not healed yet. How about you recuperate in the main house these few days? You can at least sleep well." It's better."

Gu Changjin shook his head: "Xu Li'er's case cannot be postponed. If I don't go to the morning meeting tomorrow, the Jin family may not be able to survive it for a few more days."

After dinner, Mr. Gu said . Jin then forced himself to get off the bed.

He had lost a lot of blood and his body was still running a high fever. The moment he suddenly got out of bed, his vision went dark.

He paused, waiting until the darkness in front of him dissipated, then put on his clothes and walked out step by step.

The door creaked open.

The girl under the sycamore tree had just bitten off half a golden chestnut kernel, and when she looked over, her cheeks were still bulging.

Sure enough, it was just like what I said in the dream, just like eating only pine nuts.

Gu Changjin lowered his eyes, stepped out of the threshold, and said to Rong Shu: "I'm going to take care of you today, Madam. I have to write a submission in the study at night, so Madam doesn't have to leave a light for me."

When he said this, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

In the days after they got married, except for the wedding day, when he stayed in the study every day, Rong Shu never left a light for him.

He knew this clearly, so why did he ask her not to leave the light on?

It was as if...

she had saved it for him.
