Chapter 5: The Missing Veil
It's so eye-wrenching! Su Jingyun's brows furrowed, and he said impatiently: "Dress!" β
Oh, oh, I asked her to put his clothes on for him. Can't you say something well, really? He Tiantian muttered, stepped forward, and helped him put on his underwear and coat again, one by one.
Because she was afraid of touching his wounds, she dressed carefully, and while helping him pull his sleeves, she advised: "This ointment is what I prepared in Baicaotang, it is very expensive, you should be careful, don't get rid of it; Also, don't get the wound wet, come to me every night to change the medicine, and by the way, let me see how the wound is healing, don't forget to ......"
When she finally got dressed, she asked, "How did you get this injury?" β
Su Jingyun's expression froze, he was silent for a while, and said, "I fought for territory with people and had a fight." β
"Your name is Hanako, are you really occupying the top of the mountain?" He Tiantian was surprised, heartbroken, and urged him to change his ways, "You are such a big person, and you have a lot of strength, why can't you support yourself and be a beggar?" Didn't I tell you, tell you to go to the front yard of our house, find a housekeeper to find a family, although the monthly money is not much, but at least take care of the food! β
Su Jingyun looked at her with interest, as if she was really thinking about whether to go to the front yard to be in charge.
When He Tiantian heard this, he was quite pleased, clapped his hands, and said: "You hurry up, come to change the medicine tomorrow, remember to come back after dark, don't be seen by my two sisters, their mouths are the most broken." β
"Sister?" Su Jingyun looked puzzled.
He Tiantian pouted out of the window and said, "I just moved here, and the two newly built houses next to them belong to them." β
"Get in the way!" Su Jingyun stared at the two huts for a few moments, leaned on the windowsill with one hand, and disappeared out of the window.
This guy, thank you without saying a word, ran away? He Tiantian rolled his eyes at the empty window, and then bent down to pick up the cloth wrapped iron bars scattered all over the place, and put them back one by one.
Just after cleaning up, Cuihua is back. She held a large bucket of hot water in one hand, put the bucket on the ground with a bang, glanced at the windowsill, and said, "Miss, you have stitches again?" It's been a busy day, and I'm not too tired! β
"This time I didn't sew a pillow, I sewed a big living person!" He Tiantian did it himself, scooped up the water to take a bath, and shouted, "Do you remember that Su Jingyun?" He came here again just now, fighting for territory, and was injured, so I sewed it up for him and gave him a packet of medicine. β
"He's so strong, and anyone else can hurt him? Hey, no, Miss, you sewed his flesh with a needle?! Your courage is simply bigger than the sky! Surprised, Cuihua wiped her sweat and walked to the windowsill to clean up the medical box on the table.
Since a year ago, the eldest lady recovered from a serious illness, and began to babble about sewing pillows with curved needles, and from time to time asked the workshop to give her special cotton thread, or stole the master's ten-year aging, and steam it with the stove to play, but it is normal for a woman to take a needle, she has a jumpy temperament, and it is not a big deal to waste some wine, so gradually, she is not strange and accustomed to it.
It's just that today's eldest lady didn't sew pillows, but sewed living people? This thing still shocked her too much!
Fortunately, she wasn't here just now, otherwise she would have been scared half to death! Cuihua thought, walked to the windowsill, and started to clean up the medical box on the table.
She is familiar with this medical box, and she knows very well what is on each floor; Which ones have been sterilized and can't be touched, she remembers them all.
The first layer is sewing needles, the second layer is cotton thread, and the third layer is the wine that the eldest lady stole and steamed...... She put it away, suddenly sighed, and said to He Tiantian behind the curtain: "Miss, where is the veil?" β
"Handkerchief? What veil? He Tiantian didn't understand for a while.
"What other piece of handkerchief can you have, you have embroidered that piece in the past year! White background, the first two four are not like lotus flowers! Cuihua said, very irritable.
This eldest lady of hers only loves to sew pillows, not embroidery flowers, since she got better, for a whole year, she only embroidered this piece of handkerchief, and pointed to it as a faΓ§ade! Now it's gone!
"Gone?" Although He Tiantian was a little surprised, he didn't care as much as Cuihua, "I was obviously photographed on the ground by Su Jingyun just now, can you look for it again?" β
While they were talking, Cuihua had already searched the ground, under the cabinet, and on the windowsill, but the handkerchief was still nowhere to be found, so she had to ask He Tiantian angrily: "Miss, you must take the time to embroider another handkerchief tomorrow!" β
"Good, good, good, embroidery, embroidery, embroidery." He Tiantian wiped his feet, yawned, coped perfunctorily, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.
Cuihua cleaned up the house in a huff, and went back to her west room to sleep, thinking before falling asleep, tomorrow no matter what, she will force the eldest lady to embroider a handkerchief again-
Su Jingyun leaned on a few times and landed lightly outside the courtyard wall.
After a while, a man dressed as a guard came out of the alley, went straight to him, and bowed down: "Your Highness, your subordinates are late, so you have been waiting for a long time." β
Su Jingyun looked at the end of the dark alley and asked, "Guanyan, the tail is off?" β
"Yes, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored." The guard known as Guan Yan replied, quickly raised his head and glanced at Su Jingyun, "Your Highness's injury...... My subordinates will invite Imperial Physician Ge to come and show His Highness? β
"No need." Su Jingyun stretched out his hand and pressed the chest on the left, through the thin fabric, as if he could feel the fine stitches, "Someone has already healed this king." β
He has only been away for a quarter of an hour, and someone has already healed the king of Chu? Who? Guan Yan was surprised, and couldn't help but raise his head again and glanced at Su Jingyun.
Suddenly, he found that a handkerchief was glued to the crook of Su Jingyun's right arm, and he hurriedly reminded him.
Su Jingyun lowered his head, stretched out his hand to take it off, and laughed at himself: "My arm is injured, and I feel so bad that I don't even notice that I have stuck a handkerchief." β
On an errand in front of the King of Chu, Guanyan was sharp-eyed when he practiced early, and after only a glance, he saw the square handkerchief clearly: ordinary white silk, two green lotuses, poor embroidery, miserable, definitely not the King of Chu's own things.
Since it is not the King of Chu's own things, and it is so shoddy, then he should be his subordinate and throw it away. Guan Yan thought about it, and reached out to take it: "Your Highness, the handkerchief is light and thin, and it is difficult for anyone to notice." β
Su Jingyun lowered his eyes, looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and suddenly remembered its origin, this must be the piece that the eldest lady of the He family tried to let him bite in his mouth when she gave him stitches. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he handed the handkerchief to Guan Yan, and said, "You help this king collect it first, and then put it in the most conspicuous position of this king's book case after moving to the palace." β
