Yingque had just come back from the small kitchen. When he came in, he didn't notice the strange silence in the room. He smiled to himself and said, "Just now Chang Ji brought in several large baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables. He said they were specially sent to Er by the people nearby. Damn it."

When Gu Changjin was carried back yesterday, his body was bursting with wounds and his blue official robe was stained with blood. Many people saw it.

The brave ones even asked curiously, knowing that Gu Changjin was injured in order to redress the injustice of the mother and daughter who had suffered a lot, so they couldn't help but feel awe.

Many people followed step by step until they arrived at Wutong Lane. The fruits and vegetables Yingque mentioned were probably sent by those people yesterday.

Naturally, these things are not worth a lot of money, but the etiquette is light but the affection is heavy. What is valuable is the kindness of the people.

Rong Shu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't waste it. Go and tell the woman in the kitchen to use those vegetables to make vegetable porridge for the second master. As for the fruits, pickle them with candied sugar and put them in the enamel cup."

The little girl said softly. Ruoruan, the arrangement was appropriate and meticulous, without any disdain.

Gu Changjin raised his eyes and stared at the tent ceiling for a while, then quickly lowered his eyes.

Yingyue and Yingque were waiting for each other in the room. Half an hour later, Sun Daoping's serious voice came from outside the door.

"Master Gu, Mrs. Gu."

Yingque welcomed Sun Daoping in, greeted him with a smile, and then went to the small kitchen with Yingyue to prepare breakfast.

Sun Daoping took Gu Changjin's pulse and said after a moment: "Your Excellency, your recovery is better than I expected. Today I can sit down and perform acupuncture."

After saying that, he turned his head and said to Rong Shu: "Can you please help me, Mrs. Gu?"

Rong Shu was startled, then suddenly remembered that Sun Daoping was talking about helping Gu Changjin by supporting his shoulders after untying his shirt.

In this way, Sun Daofang was able to apply acupuncture on his back.

The reason why she knew this was because she had helped him in this way in her previous life.

She didn't think about this before, so she just stayed in the house blankly.

If she had known better, she should have followed him to the small kitchen. Staring at the mother-in-law making the fire was better than touching Gu Changjin's naked shoulders and having a cockfight with him face to face.

Sun Daoping and Gu Changjin looked over at the same time.

Rong Shu put down the fan in his hand and walked over.

Sun Daoping took out the needle bag and said to Rong Shu: "After Mr. Gu sits up, madam, please untie his upper garment and support his shoulders firmly to ensure that Mr. Gu's body does not move."

Rong Shushi Shi Ran responded, but didn't move, waiting for Gu Changjin to speak.

Based on her understanding of him, Gu Changjin would definitely not let her "help" like this.

As expected, I heard him say in the next moment: "I can undress myself and don't need anyone to hold me up. Sun Yizheng, I can sit still."

"How can that be done? Mr. Gu, today the lower official is using an armor needle. The needle is inserted The acupuncture points are itchy and painful. You are too weak now and may not be able to bear it. Once you move, the acupuncture performed by Xiaguan will be in vain." Sun Dao made a straight face, as if he thought of something, and said: " Mr. Gu, there is no need to feel ashamed."

How could Gu Changjin feel ashamed?

Rong Shu actually knew what Gu Changjin was worried about, probably because he didn't like being touched by her.

Oh, I don't want to take off my clothes and belt in front of her.

He didn't like her and would have such scruples. Rong Shu understood it and answered in a timely manner: "I call Chang Ji to come into the house. I am weak, so it is safer to let Chang Ji come to help."

Gu Changjin had not yet Before he could speak, Sun Daoping waved his hands and said, "No, no, that guy is unreasonable. I don't want him to ruin my business." He curled his lips with a look of disgust on his face.

Rong Shu had no choice but to ask again: "How about changing to Hengping?" As soon as he said this, he remembered that Hengping had been sent to the Criminal Department by Gu Changjin early in the morning.

Gu Changjin had obviously thought about it, and after a few moments of silence, he said, "Hengping is not in the house, so I'll trouble Madam."

Rong Shu paused and said no more.

Sun Daoping didn't understand love and couldn't see the alienation between Rong Shu and Gu Changjin. He took off his shoes and went to the bed and took out a long needle from the needle bag.

Seeing that Gu Changjin was motionless, he hurriedly urged: "Master Gu, take off your clothes quickly, I'm going to give you the acupuncture."

Gu Changjin was wearing a frost-colored inner coat and a pine green outer robe. He lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and his pale and slender fingers first untied the outer robe, then untied the belt of the inner garment, and then slowly took it off.

The man's chest, waist, abdomen, and left shoulder were all wrapped in snow-white cloth. He was naturally white, and the cloth gave off a noble jade color to his skin.

The shoulders are wide and the waist is narrow, and the collarbone is like a mountain range, just like the shadow of a distant mountain carefully painted by an artist.

Rong Shu was very well behaved, his eyes always lowered and never raised.

She knelt down in front of Gu Changjin and listened to Sun Daoping's orders. She put her hands on his broad shoulders and put a little pressure on her fingers.

After all, it was something he had done in his previous life, and he was very familiar with it. His movements were gentle yet powerful, and he carefully avoided the arrow wound on his left shoulder.

Gu Changjin still had a low-grade fever, and the skin on his body could not be called hot, but it was still hotter than an ordinary person's. Rong Shu put his cold fingers on it, as if holding a jade hand stove.

Both of them breathed very lightly.

Rong Shu always lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the rug on his lap, which was embroidered with bamboo leaves, and she counted slowly, one piece, two pieces, three pieces...

Gu Changjin also lowered his eyes, his eyes falling on her The green-calyx plum blossoms are embroidered on the skirt, and the petals on them are layered like a fragrant snow-covered garment.

Gu Changjin soon realized that the refreshing and cold fragrance was the soft fragrance of her body.

The aroma is not strong, but it seems familiar.

It seemed that there had been such a scene and such a person, trapping him in a small area with cold fragrance, making him unable to struggle, like a trapped animal.

"Plop", "Plop", "Plop" -

almost as soon as the familiar feeling hovered in his heart, his heart was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, beating faster and faster.

This kind of heart palpitations have also appeared in dreams.

Gu Changjin's eyes, as deep as a deep pool, gradually became colder. The faster his heart beat, the colder the atmosphere around him became.

It was as if he was trying to suppress the hot restlessness with strong and cold reason.

Time passed very slowly. When the golden needles on Gu Changjin were pulled out one by one, Sun Daoping was sweating and Gu Changjin was sweating too.

Rong Shu didn't sweat, but his arms were sore.

She glanced and realized that three quarters of an hour, a full three quarters of an hour, her arms remained motionless for three quarters of an hour.

When her hands dropped, her arms were shaking and her legs and feet were numb.

She held up her legs and was about to get up and lie down when she suddenly heard Sun Daoping say: "Madam, please wipe Mr. Gu's sweat. I have to reapply the medicine for Mr. Gu."

Rong Shu sighed inwardly and took out the handkerchief from his waist . , but as soon as he stretched out his hand, it was gently blocked, followed by a cold voice: "I'll do it myself."

Rong Shu was startled.

Gu Changjin usually spoke without emotion, and others might not be able to tell the emotion in his words, but after all, she had been married to him for three years, so she could sense his impatience to some extent from his tone.

Rong Shu didn't know whether his impatience was due to the discomfort of acupuncture or because of her.

It was probably because of her. Gu Changjin's injuries were as common as drinking tea and drinking water. He had never been impatient because of the pain in his wounds.

Rong Shu didn't feel sad either. She lowered her eyebrows and handed over the handkerchief in her hand. She smiled and said, "Mr. Lang will use my handkerchief first. I will ask Yingyue to bring in some more pieces of cloth

later." After saying this, she got off the bed. He got off the couch and walked out of the house easily.

Not long after Rong Shu went out, Ying Yue came in holding a pile of cloth.

After Gu Changjin wiped his sweat, he returned Rong Shu's handkerchief to Yingyue and said, "Where is Madam?"

Yingyue replied to him: "Madam is having breakfast. Second Master, do you have something to say to Madam? Do you need a maid? Convey it on your behalf?"

Gu Changjin lowered his eyes and shook his head: "No, just step back."

He had nothing to say to her, and he didn't want to see her. He didn't even understand why he asked such a question.

After Yingyue left, Sun Daoping went to cook Gu Changjin's medicine in person. As soon as he arrived in the small kitchen, he saw sweet red bean soup on the stove, as well as golden pancakes with fried bean paste, osmanthus and sesame fillings. Yes, there are also leek and shrimp skin.

Sun Daoping swallowed, fearing that others would see his greedy appearance, so he reluctantly moved his eyes away.

However, the next moment, she heard the cooking woman in the kitchen say: "Master Sun, this is the breakfast that the young lady specially ordered for you. Why don't you fill your stomach first and then cook the medicine?"

Sun Daoping smiled happily and ate it all. Go back to the main house with your mouth full.

When Gu Changjin drank the decoction, she couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, Madam, is really the most kind-hearted woman I have ever seen."

After thinking about it, she added: "She is also the most beautiful person I have ever seen. Son."

Gu Changjin swallowed the astringent and bitter medicine in his mouth and glanced at the cake on the corner of Sun Daoping's lips.

This young man is the most talented junior in the Sun family. He is probably afraid that others will not trust his medical skills because of his young age, so he always keeps a straight face and looks serious, but in fact he still has the heart of a child.

Now that I have eaten and drank enough, I forgot to close the door in my mouth.

Of course -

the fourteen-year-old or fifteen-year-old boy should have reached Mu Shaoai's age.

Gu Changjin shook the bowl, lowered his head and drank the rest of the soup in the bowl, and then said: "Sun Yizheng, from today onwards, go to the study to perform acupuncture. I will have people move things to the study in a while."

Sun Daoping heard that Gu Changjin wanted to change places to rest, he frowned and thought, and said: "Master Gu has a good foundation and recovers quickly, but you are still too eager to go to the ground today, even if someone carries you there. That's not right. Why don't you wait a few more days?"

"My wife, I will disturb her sleep here," Gu Changjin said calmly, "Doctor Sun, don't worry, it's just a short walk away. "

These patients are so self-righteous! "

Sun Daoping waved his hands angrily and said, "Tomorrow at the earliest. I will give you one more injection today, and you will have someone carry you to the study tomorrow. Just tomorrow, not any earlier!" He looked like there was no room for discussion.

Gu Changjin lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then agreed.

Chang Ji went to clean up the study in a hurry.

Yingque saw that he had been running back and forth so many times, so he stopped him and asked, "What are you busy with here? By the way, let me ask you, when will Hengping return today?"

Changji wiped his hands. With sweat on his forehead, he said: "Hengping went to Changping Prefecture with the people from the Ministry of Punishment. Even if he could make it back today, it would be almost late at night."

He rolled his dark eyes and said again: "Why did my sister suddenly find Hengping? But what is Madam’s order?”

It was indeed Rong Shu who asked Yingque to ask, but Yingque didn’t know why her daughter was looking for Hengping, so she thought about it and said,

“It’s nothing urgent, I just asked casually. Do you want to go to the big kitchen to get ingredients? If Hengping comes back, I will get more so that he can prepare his meal."

She didn't talk to Chang Ji anymore, picked up the ingredients from the big kitchen and went to Dongji Room. When he reported back, he talked about Hengping's trip to Changping Prefecture, and also talked about Chang Ji's cleaning up the study.

"Chang Ji said that the second master will rest in the study from tomorrow." She pursed her lips tightly with an unhappy look on her face.

Mother Zhang sat on the Luohan bed, smiled and poked her bulging cheek, and said: "My uncle is afraid of disturbing the girl at night, why are you so angry?"

Mother Zhang didn't know that Rong Shu didn't care at all. Chang Jin slept on the same bed, and when he saw Rong Shu's eyes were green, he knew that she didn't sleep well last night. Guessing that Gu Changjin was injured, the girl couldn't help but feel sad when she saw him day and night, so she didn't sleep well.

Rong Shu smiled and said nothing.

In his previous life, Gu Changjin took acupuncture for five days before moving to the study. In this life, he moved a few days earlier, probably because of what happened in the morning.

But she had supported him in his previous life. Rong Shu couldn't figure out what went wrong here. She didn't bother to guess what he was thinking. After all, he wasn't sleeping in the main room, so she could sleep on her bed again, which wasn't a bad thing.

Compared with the fact that Gu Changjin was moving to the study to sleep, Rong Shu was actually more concerned about another matter.

In his previous life, Hengping also went to Changping Prefecture on this day.

Hengping was very skilled in martial arts, so Gu Changjin sent him to Changping Prefecture just to escort Xu Lier to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, all in one piece.

This matter was brought up by Chang Ji when he was chatting with Ying Que and Ying Yue after the Xu Li'er case was settled.

But the subsequent turmoil caused by Xu Li'er's case is much more thrilling than the case itself.

Among them, there is one person who is probably the key.

Rong Shu frowned slightly.

Gu Changjin is too perceptive. What should he say to make him notice this person without leaving any trace?
