Chapter 9: Encounter Again
"Miss"
Chunsheng softly shouted to the person lying on the bed, feeling uncomfortable for a while.
"Girl, drink some water."
A plainly dressed woman handed over a glass of water, her face full of concern. Chunsheng couldn't refuse, so he had to take it. "Thank you."
"I'm Zhang's mother, and I have nothing to take care of the second master's daily life or anything on weekdays." The woman laughed and talked to her, and when she was stunned, she raised her hand and urged her to drink the water. "The water is still warm, drink it."
Chunsheng looked at her stunned for a long time, and tears fell down. Chunsheng hurriedly raised his hand and smiled embarrassedly at Zhang's mother. Mother Zhang stretched out her hand in distress and gently stroked her red and swollen eyes, and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't cry, child, our second master never does something that he is not sure of, and your young lady will definitely be fine." ”
Chunsheng nodded, smiled and sniffed, "I know, Mother Zhang." When I saw you, I remembered that my mother's aunt was here," Chunsheng said, leaning over and taking Zhang's mother's hand, his voice was low, with a slight hoarseness and a hint of inexplicable melancholy.
"Mom Zhang, I'm crying with joy."
Zhang's mother patted her hands, shook her head and laughed. "Silly boy." Chunsheng lowered her head and smiled silently, and then turned her face to look at Su Qingwan, who was still a little pale, she pursed her lips tightly, her expression was firm and fragile.
Miss, you must not be fine.
The warm summer sky is clear and cloudy, and there is some wind.
The window of the study on the second floor was open, and the curtains were blown from side to side by the wind, and the tail of the curtain floated from time to time, gently brushing the slender legs of the man standing in front of the window. With a "click" sound, Gu Shaoting opened the silver cigarette case with his index finger. He picked up a cigarette and rubbed it in his hand repeatedly, but did not light it. The sound of regular footsteps behind him slowly approached, and Zhou Ji's voice sounded a moment later. "Second master, Mr. Zhou from Minsheng Hall has arrived."
"Hmm."
Gu Shaoting answered, threw the cigarette in his hand back into the cigarette case, turned around and asked.
"Are you awake?"
Zhou Yong was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was talking about the woman he brought back to the house today, and he replied hesitantly.
"I don't think I'm awake yet."
Gu Shaoting nodded slowly, and placed the cigarette case in his hand in the upper right corner of the desk and placed it right. "Let's take Mr. Zhou to see it." Zhou Yiyi lowered his head, "Yes." ”
"Yun Xi is by the side?" Gu Shaoting suddenly raised his head and asked again. Zhou Yong was silent for a while and replied. "The third lady was picked up by the second aunt, saying that she was in a hurry." Gu Shaoting raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and teased, "These aunts of mine seem to be a little defensive against me, could it be that they are afraid that the old man will not live for a few years." ”
A gust of wind whistled outside the window, causing the curtains to rise suddenly, Zhou Yong stood quietly in place, hesitating, "Second master, actually"
"Let's go down."
Gu Shaoting interrupted him with a wave of his hand. Zhou Yong respectfully gave a military salute and silently retreated outside the door. He closed the door to the study slightly, and turned to look at an old man with half-white hair standing on his right. The old man was wearing a long coat, carrying a small medicine box, and on the bridge of his nose there was a pair of semi-circular glasses with worn legs.
"Mr. Zhou, please come here." Zhou Yong smiled and stretched out his hand to guide, the old man pushed his glasses and looked at the direction of Zhou Yong's finger and was slightly puzzled, "Your second master is not in this study?" Zhou Yong pulled Mr. Zhou to the side and walked a few steps to the side before answering, "You are not treating our second master today, but for a young lady." ”
"Miss?" Old Mr. Zhou glared and was a little surprised, there is a woman in this Gu Garden? He looked at Zhou Yong's expression that didn't look like he was joking, and nodded after a while, "Okay, I'll take a look." ”
Zhou Yong smiled and bowed his head, led him to walk straight to the door of the first room on the left at the corner and stopped, he turned around and gently signaled to the old man, and then knocked on the door three times with his hand.
Chunsheng opened the door from the inside, Zhou Yong looked sideways at Su Qingwan on the bed, turned his head to Chunsheng and introduced, "This is Mr. Zhou from Minsheng Hall, the most famous old Chinese medicine doctor in Shanghai. Chunsheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly gave way to the side, his face a little eager. Doctor, hurry forward, my young lady has fainted and hasn't woken up yet. ”
Mr. Zhou smiled at Chunsheng's reassuring smile, and walked towards Su Qingwan with his feet. He took a closer look at the injury on Su Qingwan's right foot and said, "The foot injury is not a big deal, it didn't hurt the bones much, and it shouldn't be a problem to apply medicine for a few days." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and turned Su Qingwan's right hand over, and gently put two fingers on her veins. After a moment, frowning slightly, he turned his head to look at Chunsheng. "The heart and spleen are a little weak, but your young lady has suffered from stomach problems?"
Chunsheng nodded hurriedly, "My young lady has an old problem with stomach pain. ”
Mr. Zhou snorted, thought about it, reached out and took his medicine box and opened it. "I'll prescribe a prescription, this medicine is one patch a day, and one patch is taken three times. When boiling, the fire should be warm enough, and the amount must not be less. Chunsheng looked nervous, nodded seriously while listening, and Mr. Zhou handed her the recipe and instructed. She has been exerting too much energy lately, and her physique is weak, so her sleep must not be much better. Don't worry, just let her get a good night's sleep. ”
Chunsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed, "Thank you, doctor." Mr. Zhou smiled, carried the medicine box and left.
Zhou Yong politely sent Mr. Zhou out of the door, and was about to turn back, when he saw a familiar figure swaying in.
"Sixth brother!"
Zhou Yong scolded with a smile when he saw him.
"Stinky boy! I haven't seen anyone in the past few days, where did I go crazy? ”
Qiu Shimei retorted with a smile.
"Sixth brother, I'm going to do serious things!"
Zhou Yong shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked to the second floor. "Go and say hello to the second master." Qiu Shi hurriedly smiled and nodded solemnly. Zhou Yong took Qiu Shi to the door of the study on the second floor, and met Chunsheng coming over with a medicine bag.
"Chunsheng girl."
Zhou Yong nodded politely in greeting, and Chunsheng smiled embarrassedly.
"Don't be so polite to me, just call me Chunsheng."
Why does this sound sound familiar? Qiu Shi looked out from behind Zhou Ji suspiciously, and happened to meet Chunsheng's eyes. Chunsheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out as he watched Qiu Shi.
"Thief!"
Qiu Shi was a little confused, "you" He reacted for a while, and finally recognized Chunsheng. "It's you?! Don't talk nonsense! ”
Zhou Yong frowned and turned his face to look at Qiu Shi.
"What's wrong with you kid?"
"No, Sixth Brother, it's really not, it's none of my business"
Qiu Shi shook his head again and again, looking innocent. Spring muttered angrily. "The money bag we lost last time was obviously recovered from your men!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the study suddenly opened. Gu Shaoting walked out of it, looked at Qiu Shi and smiled slightly, and knocked on his head melon seeds.
"You can't help but cause trouble."
Qiu Shi cried out while covering his head. "Second master! I'm so innocent! Chunsheng couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Qiu Shi's jumping feet. What is innocent, I saw it with my own eyes last time, what is he and that Zhao Pi"
Qiu Shiyi was startled and interrupted Chunsheng sharply.
"Shut up!"
Chunsheng was frightened, but Zhou Ji was stunned.
The surrounding atmosphere was a little frozen, Gu Shaoting's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Chunsheng and confirmed.
"Zhao Pizi from the Sixteenth Shop Wharf?"
Chunsheng replied stunned, "It seems to be called this name"
Gu Shaoting's eyes deepened slightly, and he suddenly smiled lightly when he looked at Qiu Shiyi.
"You're so good."
Qiu Shi's face changed suddenly, eager to explain.
"Second Master!"
Gu Shaoting's face was cold and he didn't listen at all, he glanced at Qiu Shiyi, turned around and entered the study.
"Zhou Yong, you deal with it."
Zhou Ji stiffened, "Yes." He turned his head and stared at Qiu Shi fiercely, with eight points of anger in his voice. Qiu Shi, I want to listen to the truth. ”
Qiu Shi muttered with a pale face.
"Sixth brother, I didn't touch that unclean thing."
As he spoke, he slowly looked up at Zhou Yong, and a trace of hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Sixth brother, since I swore before, I will never touch it again!"
