Chapter 325: Medicinal Bath (Part 2)
"Master Sun, are you okay?"
Lin Xiaohong timidly presented a handkerchief to Sun Shaozong, who didn't want to be polite with her. He took it in his hand and quickly covered his nose with it.
The warm liquid did block the blockage, but it also caused a lack of oxygen to the brain. The blue veins near the temples were throbbing, making Sun Shaozong feel as if his head was about to explode.
Sun Shaozong used to think that the male protagonists in novels and cartoons would have nosebleeds at the sight of beautiful women, which was too exaggerated - but after sitting cross-legged on the jade mat for more than half an hour, he also shamefully bled.
There was no other way. He was wearing the thickest clothes in the whole room. The medicinal smell also stimulated the blood circulation. Plus, with four young and beautiful maids, he was even hotter than if he was not wearing anything...
Under the triple stimulation, even a Buddha could not control his anger, let alone a mortal like Sun Shaozong?
"Are you feeling hot, my Lord?"
But when Lin Xiaohong saw Sun Shaozong taking the handkerchief, she took out a palm-leaf fan for fanning the fire, clenched her hands tightly, and fanned it vigorously in front of Sun Shaozong.
This did feel a little cooler, but the problem was that her body was even cooler!
Especially when the fan was waved, her slender and curvaceous body began to sway like duckweed - as a result, the temperature that disappeared from Sun Shaozong's body surface suddenly rushed into his nostrils!
“Ah~!”
Seeing the nosebleed dye half of the handkerchief red, Lin Xiaohong hurriedly lowered her body, observing Sun Shaozong's nose while asking in a delicate voice: "Master Sun, are you...are you okay?"
This angle is really...
All in view !
But even though Sun Shaozong felt dizzy, he still felt something was wrong - was this girl deliberately teasing him? !
Just as I thought of this, I heard Qingwen scolding me in dissatisfaction: "Xiaohong, why are you being so coquettish? Come over and help me change the medicine soup!"
In order to maintain a relatively suitable temperature in the bathtub where Baoyu was, the maids would scoop some boiling hot medicine soup over from time to time, and then scoop the excess cold soup back to heat it up.
That's why Qingwen urged her.
After a pause, Qingwen could not help but add, "If you feel that you are being wasted in our mansion, when the Second Master wakes up, I will ask him to send you to the Sun Mansion!"
"What are you talking about, sister!"
Lin Xiaohong was shocked and said hurriedly, "I just came here to show my concern because I saw that Master Sun had a nosebleed. Why did you say such a shameful thing about me?"
As she spoke, she swayed her body and walked towards the bathtub in the middle.
Damn~
Just by looking at her last two coquettish moves, we can conclude that she really wants to climb up the social ladder!
However, Sun Shaozong had always been polite and indifferent to women who liked to play tricks on others, so her flattery had a counterproductive effect - it would be better to leave such a woman to Jia Yun.
At this time, Qingwen raised her left hand with two bright red nails that were more than two inches long, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Master Sun, are you okay? Do you want our Xiaohong to go over and serve you well?"
She was obviously annoyed by Sun Shaozong's rude look before, so she forgot about the distinction between high and low for a moment.
This was a common occurrence in Baoyu's Yihong Courtyard - but Sun Shaozong was not as soft-hearted as Baoyu, so how could he tolerate her disrespectful behavior?
His eyes turned cold, and he said in a muffled voice: "This Xiaohong looks a little irritable, but Miss Qingwen, you are very talented. My family is in need of a female manager like you. Why don't you wait for Brother Bao to wake up, and then I will ask Mrs. Wang to take you home?"
When Qingwen heard this, her oval face turned pale and bloodless.
After spending these days together, she knew very well how much Mrs. Wang looked down on her. She had originally wanted to use her merit in this rescue to erase those prejudices, but now...
When it comes to the merit of rescue, even if Sun Shaozong is not ranked first, he must be among the top three. As long as Baoyu can be saved, Mrs. Wang will certainly be very grateful. By then, what would it matter if she gave away a servant whom she didn't like very much?
As she thought about this, her body wrapped in wet and sticky silk clothes began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Sun... Lord Sun."
After a slight hesitation, Qingwen bowed deeply to Sun Shaozong and apologized carefully, "It was my fault just now. Please...please forgive me, Lord Sun, and don't take it personally."
Even in front of Baoyu, she had never been so submissive. As she spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears of frustration.
"Where...is this place?"
Just at this moment, a murmur suddenly came from the bathtub behind him, and it turned out that Jia Baoyu woke up in a daze!
"Second Master!"
Qingwen was overjoyed. She didn't care about anything else and rushed to the bathtub and shouted excitedly, "Second Master, you're awake?! Do you feel better?!"
“I…I…”
Jia Baoyu said "I " several times, and finally asked in confusion: "Who are you? I...why can't I remember?"
You don’t even recognize your own personal maid?
Could it be that this kid has lost his memory? !
Sun Shaozong's heart skipped a beat, but Qingwen seemed to have been hit on the head with a stick. She burst into tears and rushed to hug Jia Baoyu, crying, "You are such a heartless man. You always love to order people around. How could this be... How could this be..."
Fortunately, the plot of this book is not that bloody.
So it’s a pity that Baoyu did not really lose his memory as some book lovers expected.
He just had a memory disorder. He quickly came to his senses after hearing Qingwen's crying and put his arm around Qingwen's shoulders to comfort her.
"My dear Qingwen, I was wrong just now. Stop crying. I am fine, right?"
Seeing that he was talking and acting the same as usual, and no longer looking for death, Sun Shaozong hurriedly said, "Anyone, go outside and ask when Brother Bao can get out of here! If he keeps soaking like this, he'll be cooked!"
In fact, what he wanted to ask more was when he could get out of this big steamer.
The other three maids all surrounded Baoyu with an expression of great joy, and had no intention of going out to pass on the message. Only Lin Xiaohong obediently went to the door and stuck her head out to report the situation inside.
Sun Shaozong's order also startled Jia Baoyu. He looked over in confusion and asked, "Second Brother Sun, why are you here too? Where... where is this?"
"Where else could it be? Of course it's your home!"
Sun Shaozong replied unhappily, and then he heard a commotion outside. Mrs. Wang rushed in with Xiren, Sheyue and others. They pushed Qingwen aside, hugged Baoyu and called him "my darling" for a long time.
Seeing this, Sun Shaozong, who didn't know that the treatment had come to an end, hurriedly went out quietly and refreshed himself in the night breeze!
Stop talking nonsense.
When Sun Shaozong changed into spare clothes and walked out of the meditation room again, he saw Mrs. Wang waiting outside with a grateful look on her face. When she saw him come out, she bowed to him and then thanked him endlessly.
Just when Sun Shaozong was exhausted from dealing with the situation, Mrs. Wang suddenly said, "I heard that my nephew is quite fond of Qingwen. Why don't I send her over later to serve my nephew for a night?"
