Xue Zhao followed Ling Bo to the mountains to collect medicine since she was a child, and Ling Bo taught her a lot of pharmacological knowledge. www.biquge.info Since Lin Xiuyuan entrusted her with the affairs of Tonghetang's collection of medicinal materials, she began to get busy, and sometimes she didn't even care about taking care of Lin Xiuyuan, but Lin Xiuyuan often dragged her legs that had not fully recovered to the lobby, watching her bow her head and busy, and finally had to interrupt her softly, "Xuezhao, it's time for me to change the dressing." ”

The guys in Tonghe Hall can see the young owner's affection for Xue Zhao, and privately think that she is the future lady of the young owner. Xue Zhao is cheerful, easy-going, and approachable, so the guys like her very much. Especially the guy Xiao Wu, who is closest to Xuezhao.

Although Xiao Wu is young, he has been following Lin Xiuyuan for a long time, and he is also an old man in Tonghe Hall. Since Xuezhao came, he has been circling around her every day, running before and after running for her, and he has a "Sister Xuezhao" in his mouth, and others know that he is young, but they don't care.

Lin Xiuyuan specially prepared a small kitchen for Xuezhao, and prepared meals every day to send to Fengming Pavilion. Helplessly, Xuezhao was too busy, except for Tonghetang when she was collecting medicinal materials, she also took the initiative to help Ren Shouchuan on weekdays, helping him write prescriptions and the like, and Ren Shouchuan was also happy to teach her what he had learned all his life without reservation.

She was not a pampered daughter since she was a child, and often ate with her friends in the backyard at noon when she was busy, and her small kitchen was useless for eight out of ten days. This made Lin Xiuyuan feel distressed, and he even had some doubts about whether his original decision was correct, and putting Xue Zhao in this position seemed to arouse her enthusiasm.

Lin Xiuyuan had no choice but to send more manpower to the big kitchen in the backyard, and make some meals every day to send them out. At this time, the guys of Tonghetang cheered even more. The previous meal was not worse than other places, but after Xue Zhao came, it was even more sumptuous, because they simply regarded Xue Zhao as the female Guanyin of Tonghetang.

The recipes in the big kitchen are what Lin Xiuyuan has to do every day, and he is familiar with Xue Zhao's taste and physical condition. If it was not suitable, he circled it with his pen and instructed the kitchen man to change it.

He has not fully recovered from his leg injury, and he has been out a lot less often these days. At noon, he always came to the backyard to eat with Xue Zhao. Whenever he sat opposite Xuezhao, seeing her neat dress, white and red cheeks and excited look, his eyes showed unconcealed pity and love, he no longer longed for the future, he wanted the present.

As he sat across from her, he didn't say much, but he poured the food into her bowl in the same way, and occasionally said, "Eat more." Xue Zhao sometimes didn't speak, and the two of them sat quietly opposite each other, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the years were just right.

For Lin Xiuyuan's arrival every noon, the guys didn't welcome it. After being tired for a long time, you can talk and laugh at lunch. Xue Zhao never cared, always smiling and listening to them talk about the interesting things that happened in the lobby today. But Lin Xiuyuan came differently, the majesty of the prince who had been cold for a long time was still there, as soon as he sat down, the guys all ran to the other side with dishes and chopsticks, not daring to disturb them, nor daring to joke like usual.

Xue Zhao knows the minds of those guys very well. If Lin Xiuyuan didn't come one day, they would make a noise, and you pushed me. If Lin Xiuyuan came, they would lie quietly in the corner of the courtyard, as if they were dumb.

On this day, Lin Xiuyuan did not come. Xiao Wu sat next to Xue Zhao and said something to her, and Xue Zhao couldn't help laughing when she heard the joy. Xiao Wu was happy, so he pushed the dishes and chopsticks to the middle of the table, stood up, pretended to have a limp in his right leg, and made a frowning and cold expression on his face, and there were words in his mouth.

Suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly. Everyone picked up the bowl and quickly dispersed to the side, only Xiao Wu was still in the excitement, still limping and performing.

Xue Zhao saw that everyone's expressions were different, and turned her head slightly, and found that Lin Xiuyuan had quietly come to the table. Maybe she was too focused on watching Xiao Wu's performance, and she didn't notice his arrival at all.

At this moment, there was still a smile on the corner of Xue Zhao's mouth. She coughed lightly in a low voice to signal Xiao Wu, and after Xiao Wu's performance, she still asked unsatisfied, "Sister Xuezhao, I don't look like I learned to be like a place?" ”

Xue Zhao saw that he didn't realize yet, so he had to raise his head and look at Lin Xiuyuan with innocent eyes. Xiao Wu followed her gaze and slowly turned her head, and the expression on her face instantly turned into horror.

At this time, some of the people who had dispersed just now couldn't help it, and laughed a little, but immediately stopped.

Lin Xiuyuan frowned slightly, staring at Xiao Wu with an inquiring expression, as if he couldn't figure out where he borrowed the courage from, and arranged him behind his back.

Xiao Wu barely pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled extremely unnaturally, and the muscles on his face were trembling. He looked at Lin Xiuyuan, and didn't dare to bow his head, he groped for his own dishes and chopsticks on the table with his hands, wanting to slip away, but he heard Xue Zhao laugh softly, "It's okay, sit down and eat, Xiao Wu." ”

Both of them lowered their heads at the same time and looked at Xue Zhao in surprise. I saw Xue Zhao stretch out a hand, pull Lin Xiuyuan's robe sleeve, show a coquettish look in his eyes, and ask with a smile, "Is it okay?" ”

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at Xiao Wu when he listened, nodded and sat down next to Xue Zhao. Xiao Wu also slowly sat on the edge of the chair, his posture extremely alert, looking ready to run away at any time.

Just as he was about to continue eating, he suddenly heard Xue Zhao say again, "Xiao Wu, let me repeat the joke just now." ”

Xiao Wu froze, his mouth couldn't close, and the rice that fell into his mouth fell out. He said, "This ... I... I don't dare anymore. ”

"Let you play it again, you can play it, and I will enjoy it too." Lin Xiuyuan clasped his hands to his chest, his face expressionless.

Xiao Wu had to throw down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Then I'll do it again, I... Shaodong, I actually just want to make Sister Xuezhao laugh, I won't dare next time. ”

Lin Xiuyuan raised his chin at him and motioned for him to start.

I saw Xiao Wu lick his lips, looked at Xue Zhao and said, "Sister Xue Zhao, Xiao Wu will tell you a joke." At noon today, you were drying medicinal herbs in the backyard, and the young owner came to look for you, and when he saw that you were not there, he asked where he went. Xiao Wu said, in the backyard. Xiao Wu asked again, Shaodong, is it time to change the medicine again? Why don't I call her? I saw the young owner walking around the counter twice, just like this... Saying that, he pretended to have an injured right leg again, and turned around twice angrily while holding on to the table, his expression was like a god, and Xue Zhao couldn't help but bow his head and laugh.

I saw that Xiao Wu turned around twice and finally stopped, sighed, frowned, and said, "You tell her that if you don't come to change the medicine for me, I will be lying on the bed from now on and won't get down, see if she comes!" After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve back, "hummed", and limped away again.

The people in the courtyard couldn't hold back any longer, they all laughed, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiao Wuyi throwing his sleeves, and his handsome face looked particularly moving.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became lively, and it was no longer a dead silence. A bunch of people in the corner saw the smile of the young owner like seeing the warm sun in winter, and they felt that the arrival of Xuezhao seemed to change his whole person. They were no longer restrained, and they let go of the joke again.

The noise resounded throughout the backyard, and the smile on Lin Xiuyuan's face still did not dissipate. He looked at Xue Zhao, smiled knowingly, and involuntarily stroked her bright face, rubbed it, twisted it lightly, and shook it twice, and said, "No wonder they like you so much, you have a lot of ghost ideas." ”

Xue Zhao blinked her eyes and smiled coquettishly, "Then you have to save face from the owner!" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.
